"Your Majesty, Wei Zheng, is here to see you!"
In the Yanfu Hall, Wei Zheng was dressed in black black clothes, his long hair was tied into a crown, his posture was upright, and he was full of righteousness. He bowed and saluted Qin Wuhen.
"Xuan Cheng is exempt from the courtesy." Qin Wuhen looked at Wei Zheng, smiled and waved.
Next to him, Lu Dongbin looked at Wei Zheng with curiosity.
Although he is one of the Eight Immortals in the Journey to the West plane, the Journey to the West plane also has the existence of the Tang Dynasty. Before becoming an immortal, he happened to be a mortal Confucian scholar in the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, he had heard of Wei Zheng's name. !
In that dimension of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng was an extraordinary being.
One of the most famous things was that he beheaded the Dragon King of Jinghe who violated the laws of heaven in his dream!
As for Li Bai, there is no need to say more. He is from the Tang Dynasty like Wei Zheng, but not in the same era. We have heard a lot about Wei Zheng's deeds.
Prime Minister of the early Tang Dynasty, Duke Zheng!
The twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, ranked fourth!
Taking a deep breath, Li Bai bowed slightly to Wei Zheng, "Li Bai, I have met Duke Zheng!"
"I've met Mr. Li!" Wei Zheng smiled in return. When he came to this world, everything had already emerged in his mind.
After the ceremony, Wei Zheng looked at Qin Wuhen again, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, when I came to have an audience, I saw that in King Xia's city, there were quite a few candidates who came to take the imperial examination, at least 50,000 to 60,000 people!"
"If Your Majesty only takes a thousand candidates for this palace examination, tens of thousands of people will come back disappointed, which may damage the morale of the candidates from poor families."
"Moreover, now that Cangzhou is unified, the rest of the Five Dynasties need a large number of officials to supplement, and a thousand candidates are probably far from enough. If Your Majesty does not release more places, there will be many talented people among the tens of thousands of candidates. I’m afraid I’ll miss out on a lot of talents because of my ranking!”
"oh?"
Hearing this, Qin Wuhen frowned slightly and looked at Li Bai.
Li Bai smiled and cupped his hands, "That's exactly what I just said!"
Qin Wuhen nodded, frowning in thought.
This situation was something he didn't expect.
When it came to the final imperial examination, there were still fifty or sixty thousand people left. One can only imagine how many candidates took part in the imperial examination!
Xiao Ping is personally responsible for this matter, so he will naturally not doubt the quality of the county and county examinations ahead.
If these 50,000 to 60,000 candidates can pass two tests in a row, pass the county examination, county examination, and go to the palace examination, they must have real talents and practical knowledge.
As Wei Zheng said, if only one thousand are taken from the fifty or sixty thousand candidates, I am afraid that a lot of talents will be missed!
Moreover, if fifty thousand people get one thousand, the passing rate of one fiftieth is indeed a bit low...
Qin Wuhen looked at Wei Zheng, "Then according to Xuancheng's wishes, how much should be taken for this palace examination?"
Wei Zheng did not hesitate and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, although the Five Dynasties Land has sent some officials there at the moment, compared to the territorial scope of the Five Dynasties Land, it is a drop in the bucket!"
"Furthermore, the five dynasties have just surrendered to Daxia, and the people's hearts are unstable. The main city areas in the five dynasties must not use the original officials of the five dynasties. They must be controlled by our dynasty!"
"Taking one thousand candidates will probably only be enough to replenish the official positions in the Land of One Dynasty. Therefore, I suggest that five thousand of the fifty thousand candidates should pass the palace examination. Based on their performance, they can directly go to the Land of Five Dynasties to take office!"
Five thousand?
Qin Wuhen's eyes narrowed slightly.
After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said: "Okay! Then take the number of five thousand!"
With that said, Qin Wuhen looked at Lu Dongbin and Li Bai and said: "Spread the news. One day later, the palace examination will be held at Huangji Square. I will personally invigilate the examination. There will be 50,000 candidates divided into five batches, with 10,000 people in each batch." ! The first five thousand people can go directly to the Land of Five Dynasties to take office!"
"According to the order!"
The two held their hands solemnly and took the order and left.
Inside the palace.
After a moment of silence, Qin Wuhen looked at Wei Zheng, a little embarrassed as to what position he should give Wei Zheng.
With Wei Zheng's function, it is most suitable to be the prime minister, but at this moment, there are candidates for both the left and right prime ministers.
Right Prime Minister Li Si is no less capable than Wei Zheng, and Left Prime Minister Xiao Ping is not weak in handling affairs at the moment. What's more, he is also the oldest minister in Daxia. He is kind to him and cannot be replaced at will.
Above the left and right prime ministers, there is still a vacancy for the position of prime minister.
But Wei Zheng was not qualified for this position, and Qin Wuhen already had the most suitable candidate in mind.
Wei Zheng was worthy of being the number one remonstrator throughout the ages. He knew how to watch people's words and expressions. When he saw Qin Wuhen's eyes focused on him, with sorrow in his eyes, he immediately understood what Qin Wuhen was thinking.
He immediately asked: "What position is your Majesty considering granting me?"
Qin Wuhen nodded in surprise, "Yes, with Xuancheng's talent, it would be a bit unfair to take an ordinary position. I wonder if Xuancheng has any good suggestions?"
Wei Zheng held up his hand and smiled but did not answer, "Your Majesty, have you noticed that although the current official system in the DPRK has improved a lot after the reform proposed by Prime Minister Li Si, it still has many flaws?"
defect?
Qin Wuhen frowned, then shook his head, "Xuan Cheng made it clear."
Wei Zheng smiled and said: "First let's talk about the Ministry of War. Although the Ministry of War has established the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, the six armies of Great Xia are now basically independent of the Ministry of War, and their status is even far above the Ministry of War. Even the Ministry of War is under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Office. Centralization is too decentralized!”
Qin Wuhen frowned and thought, then nodded slowly and said, "That's true! So what's Xuan Cheng's suggestion on this matter?"
"Concentrate military power and establish a separate branch!"
Wei Zheng said decisively: "Your Majesty can set up a Military Aircraft Department and establish the post of Taiwei. All the military departments will be under the jurisdiction of the Military Aircraft Department!"
"Military Aircraft Department..."
Qin Wuhen murmured, carefully thinking about the pros and cons.
Immediately, he looked at Wei Zheng, "Doesn't this mean that the official position system must be directly changed to the three-gong-nine-qing system?"
The system of three ministers and nine ministers is to set up the prime minister, Taiwei, and censors, combined with the nine ministers such as Lang Zhongling, Tingwei, Hengwei, Fengchang, and Dianke to form the official structure of the court.
Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this world is very different from the family we lived in in our previous life. It will be very inconvenient to continue to use the previous system. We can learn from the previous system, but our dynasty needs to establish a new system!"
Qin Wuhen nodded, his face serious, "You continue."
Wei Zheng handed over and said, "To centralize power, three major departments can be established: the Prime Minister's Office, the Military Aircraft Department, and the Central Council. The Prime Minister's Office has jurisdiction over the Criminal Department, the Personnel Department, and the Household Department. The Military Aircraft Department has jurisdiction over the Ministry of War. The Central Academy has jurisdiction over the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry. It is a decentralized system. Of!"
"The Prime Minister's Office is headed by the Prime Minister, supplemented by the two prime ministers on the left and right, assisting His Majesty in handling political affairs, and commanding hundreds of officials; the Military Aircraft Department, headed by the Taiwei, has jurisdiction over the Ministry of War and major legions. The Ministry of War can have generals of various ministries, and the legions are autonomous; the center The court is dominated by the imperial censor and ministers, and the ministers of auxiliary affairs are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry."
“In this way, the functions of each department are clear at a glance!”
"As for the main official positions, His Majesty must personally appoint and remove them!"
After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Qin Wuhen and remained silent.
Qin Wuhen, on the other hand, was lost in thought. Slowly, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Wei Zheng's official position system really made him feel refreshing.
The system of three ministers and six ministries!
To put it simply, it is the combination of the Three Officials and Nine Ministers system and the Three Provinces and Six Ministries system.
It seems simple, but it is well organized and has clear responsibilities.
In fact, it is more practical than the separate three-province-nine ministers system and the three-province-six-ministry system!
Isn’t this the system that is suitable for the current imperial court?
"good!"
For a long time, Qin Wuhen raised his head in vain and looked at Wei Zheng with a look of satisfaction in his eyes, "Xuan Cheng is a great talent! I am so lucky to have Xuancheng's help!"
Wei Zheng smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, Liao Yu!"
"Not Liao Yu at all!"
Qin Wuhen laughed, patted Wei Zheng on the shoulder, and said: "Tomorrow I will ask Li Si to draw up a charter, weigh the pros and cons, make improvements, and then implement this official system as soon as possible!"
"As for Xuancheng, you and Li Si will deal with the political affairs of the court in the past few days. When our court is promoted to the dynasty, we will give you another reward!"
Wei Zheng bowed and saluted: "My lord, I obey your order!"
