The content of the letter was very simple. He just cared about Fusu's health, and then said that he and Chen Ke were going to Mount Tai to become Zen monks again and would come back later.
Regarding other matters, the letter said nothing at all.
Fusu looked at everything written in the letter, smiled suddenly for some reason, and then let go of his hand.
The letter in his hand fell to the ground. Fusu looked at the sky in the distance, with a calm and wanton look in his eyes, at the corners of his eyes, and on his face.
He knew it was acquiescing to what he said.
And the last stop is to go to Mount Tai. I'm afraid it's not just about enshrining Zen, but also going to Mount Tai for a walk around again to see what happened back then, right?
When the world had just been unified, there were still many rebels in the world. His father went to Mount Tai to enshrine the throne and suppress the many rebellions.
But now, when we go to Mount Tai again, it is time for the world to be unified and peaceful.
Fusu smiled slightly, then lowered his head, picked up the letter that had just fallen on the ground, turned and walked away.
Changes in the world begin today.
It is also time for some officials in the imperial court to make adjustments.
On this day, many imperial edicts were issued from Zhangtai Palace and then arrived at every official residence in Xianyang City.
Fusu lay down in front of the bookcase and kept writing in his hands.
An imperial edict conferring a seal was written from his hand and passed on by Chu Meng's hand.
"Split the Prime Minister's Office into three East, Central, and West bureaus. The East, Central, and West bureaus of the Prime Minister's Office each have jurisdiction over different agencies."
The Prime Minister's East Office is also called "East Palace", the Prime Minister's West Office is also called "Xige", and the Prime Minister's Middle Office is also called "Zhongshu".
One of the East Palace and the West Palace is in charge of the centralized handling of government affairs in the world, and the other is in charge of the formulation of imperial edicts, issuance of edicts, Qin laws and many other matters.
The "Chinese Secretariat" is in charge of many specific institutions.
Just like manufacturing plants, research institutes, administrative offices, and the former Jiuqing Mansion Office, they are all under the Central Secretary's Office. Of course, it is not so much the Central Secretary's Office that governs these institutions, but rather that these institutions together constitute the "Zhongshu Administration". .
In Fusu's transfer order, there were also many personnel changes.
The prime minister of the East Palace is Li Si, the prime minister of the West Pavilion is Zuo Ge, and the prime minister of Zhongshu is Chen Ke.
At the same time, Cao Shen promoted Yue Huai, the former civil servant of the East Prefecture, to the position of Literary Minister of the East Prefecture. The director was moved to the position of deputy chief minister of Zhongshu.
After the Prime Minister's Office was divided into three agencies, some of the agencies below also made corresponding adjustments.
Some new blood entered Da Qin's court, and the previously dull court instantly became lively.
These people are the hope of Great Qin in the future.
And Fusu not only wanted to arrange for his confidants to enter the court, but the most important thing was that he wanted to make the world of Da Qin a better place, so he needed some new blood.
Of course, the elderly will be more stable, but sometimes, being stable does not lead to better results. It is precisely the need for some publicity to make the world a more wonderful place.
This is young people.
Time gradually passed, and Fusu was still dealing with today's affairs. Today he caused a wave of waves in the court, but Fusu felt that it was not enough.
It's time for Da Qin to change.
His majesty decided on the candidates one by one, and then they were sent to various places in Xianyang City by the chamberlains of Zhangtai Palace.
Today, the construction of Xianyang City has been completed. The government is located very close to the imperial city, and some of the people here have been relocated to slightly distant places.
"Tata-"
Slow footsteps sounded, and Chu Meng walked in. Looking at Fusu who was leaning on the table with an anxious look on his face, he felt a little anxious.
"Your Highness, it's already very late. It's time for you to rest."
Chu Meng took a piece of clothing from the maid on the side with a worried expression, and then put it on Fusu's body.
Fusu waved his hand, with a slight smile in his voice: "Tonight is the most critical time. I can't rest. I have to watch these things be completed."
He sighed: "Father supports me, I also want to make some achievements and see with him."
"Only in this way can we live up to our father's trust."
Chu Meng sighed and said nothing more. He just stood there and whispered to the maids and chamberlains beside him, asking them to go to the kitchen to prepare some good supper for the prince.
The candles on the table were still burning, and everything was just as it was at the beginning.
On this bookcase back then, Ying Zheng was leaning on the bookcase handling government affairs. On this bookcase today, Ying Fusu was leaning on the bookcase handling government affairs.
Nothing has changed.

At the foot of Mount Tai
The chariot rolled slowly, and the troops were stationed at the foot of the mountain. Ying Zheng ordered some soldiers to go and check if there was anything wrong with Mount Tai. If there was no problem, the two of them were going to set off.
Chen Ke sat on a stone with a little nostalgia in his eyes.
He vaguely remembered that he had been to Mount Tai not long after he came to Daqin. At this age, he felt a little excited when he came to Mount Tai again.
Ying Zheng also stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the towering Mount Tai and the big tree next to him, and couldn't help but laugh.
He whispered: "Chen Ke, do you still remember what happened back then?"
Ying Zheng stood under the tree with his hands behind his back, a sad look on his face.
"When I came to Mount Tai to pray for Zen, those bitter Confucian scholars said that I was a tyrant. They said that the heavy rain was because God couldn't see how tyrannical I was, so why I came to Mount Tai to pray for Zen was a punishment from heaven."
He squinted his eyes: "What happened to the people who said these things back then?"
Chen Ke stood next to Ying Zheng and snickered: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Many of the people who said these words back then were killed by you on the spot."
"Later, during the arrests of Confucians, most of them died in prison."
He also sneered, and then said: "Those Confucian scholars are all a bunch of bitter Confucians, and they are all a bunch of Confucian scholars who don't study!"
"What does it mean that the sky cannot see His Majesty and has punished His Majesty?"
"No wonder Xunzi called these Confucian scholars in Lu a bunch of beasts and a bunch of cheap Confucians."
"In the past, Xunzi said: The behavior of heaven is constant. It does not exist for Yao and does not perish for Jie. Heaven and earth are fair, how can it punish someone just because of someone?"
Chen Ke turned his head towards Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty should be able to understand now why Xunzi said this, right?"
Ying Zheng said with some regret: "Yes."
With his hands behind his back, the soldiers from afar had already walked over, and the leader, Meng Yi, had already saluted and told them that there was nothing dangerous on the mountain.
Ying Zheng took a few steps forward and said again: "There are no emotions in heaven and earth, and there are no gods or gods in this world."
"There are no immortals. The so-called God is a rule."
He looked at Chen Ke and said, "This is probably the rule you often mentioned back then."
"In the past, Lao Tzu once said, "Heaven and Earth are unkind, and treat all things as rudderless dogs; saints are unkind, and regard the common people as rudderless dogs." Over the years, I have often thought that this statement makes sense. "
"Rules have no emotions. They are fair to every existence in the world, including me and Da Qin."
Ying Zheng walked forward step by step, with a slightly peaceful expression on his face.
"There are no immortals, no saints, and the way of heaven is just a fixed rule for the movement of heaven and earth. No one can hinder it, and no one can hinder or interfere with its operation."
"This is the basic rule of heaven and earth. It is neither great love nor small love. It is just a movement."
“Just like you need to eat when you are hungry and drink water when you are thirsty, the same is true for the way of heaven.”
"It doesn't make any sense, and it doesn't mean it doesn't make any sense."
Ying Zheng's words were hard to pronounce, and Meng Yi who was following him couldn't keep up, but Chen Ke's thoughts were able to follow the beat of Ying Zheng's thoughts.
He just smiled and said: "What your Majesty said is indeed the most basic truth in the world."
Chen Ke sighed, and then said: "Your Majesty can see this, I really admire you, he is a great sage in this world."
"Even if you go to the four major universities to teach, I'm afraid you can still suppress those so-called great scholars and talented people."
Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing after hearing Chen Ke's flattering words: "Hahahahahahaha, you, Chen Ke, are the only one who can speak."
"I'm not a great scholar who studies regularly, so how can I teach in a university? Wouldn't that be misleading the younger generation?"
As he walked on the mountain road of Mount Tai, he felt that his body was much more relaxed.
Ying Zheng said with a smile in his eyes: "Let's go. There are no obstacles on the mountain. It's not like there were some stumbling blocks before. Everything has been cleared now."
"You can walk up the mountain smoothly."
Chen Ke followed Ying Zheng's footsteps, and the two of them walked and stopped along the way. Sometimes they took a look at the surrounding flowers and plants, as well as the scenery that they had not taken a close look at when they first worshiped in Mount Tai.
Walking all the way up, halfway through, Chen Ke's strength was a little weak. He panted and looked at Ying Zheng still walking on the road energetically, and sighed: "Your Majesty, your physical strength is really too great. Are you ready?"
"I have no way to compare with you."
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Why don't we take a rest?"
Ying Zheng turned around and looked at Chen Ke who could no longer stand and almost fell to the ground. He couldn't help but laugh a little: "You often advise me to take good care of my body, but what about you?"
"You yourself don't know how to take care of yourself."
He shook his head and said: "I exercise regularly. Even at this age, I can still reach this point without panting. But you are already very tired at such a young age."
Ying Zheng said mockingly: "You kid, you can't do it."
After hearing this, Chen Ke seemed to have been hit by something. He stood up and straightened his chest: "Your Majesty, why can't it be done?"
"Just wait and see, I can continue walking!"
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke's forced appearance, burst out laughing, and then said, "You are like this again."
"Take a rest for a while, wait for you, and wait for Taishan."
He raised his head and looked at the sky. Boundless white clouds covered the blue sky. The sun was shining brightly, with no intention of turning cloudy or rain.
This was in stark contrast to when I first came here.
.........
Xianyang City
The imperial edict that came out of Zhangtai Palace a few days ago caused a storm. Countless people were looking at his appointment. They were worried and thinking about the reason why Fusu did this.
The prince is still just the prince. Is it really possible to transfer ministers on such a large scale?
Is it really possible to adjust the structure of the imperial court on such a large scale?
At this time, the court was almost divided into three modules. The ministers in the three modules did not interfere with each other, and they even seemed to be not in the same system.
The people of the Yushitai, headed by the Yushi doctor, together with the newly established "judicial yamen" and "police yamen", took over some of the functions that had previously belonged to the local "official yamen" of the imperial court.
The people of Yushitai are responsible for supervision, the judicial yamen is responsible for trial, and the police yamen is responsible for handling, supervising some small disturbances and handling miscellaneous matters in the city.
Of course, apart from the fact that the Yushitai is not under the jurisdiction of the government, the judicial yamen and the police yamen are all under the jurisdiction of the yamen, whether they are local or central in Xianyang.
At most, some matters were tried personally by the "county magistrate" in the past, but now they are tried by judicial offices at all levels.
Not much has changed.
As for the soldiers and horses of Xianyang City, the guards, the imperial guards in the palace, the Lang Zhongling and the guards among the nine ministers, they were all drawn separately and were no longer under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Office and other imperial courts.
These armies were unified under the control of the emperor.
Even the current prince, the prince who changes these things, cannot mobilize these people.
Therefore, no big changes were made, we just transferred these people out first.
As for the last part, it is the largest part, which is the "Three-phase Department". The Three-phase Department is divided into three major sections. Among them, the most powerful and busiest one is the Zhongshu Department.
Of course, the changes in the imperial court did not affect the lives of the leaders of Guizhou. After all, it was too far away from them.
...........
Mount Tai
At this time, Ying Zheng and Chen Ke had already reached the top of Mount Tai, and their pace could not help but slow down.
Ying Zheng seemed to have thought of something, and sighed and said: "When I was on Mount Tai, I once lamented that the sky had not treated me poorly. Now that I am here again, it makes me feel sad."
"Suddenly I felt that the emotion I felt last time was a bit uncomfortable."
There was a confident and wanton expression on his face: "My life's achievements, why should I say that God has not treated me poorly?"
Ying Zheng was only one step away from reaching the five-color altar at the top of Mount Tai.
He stood at the junction of the top of Mount Tai and the mountainside. He turned back and looked like the sun: "Chen Ke, what do you think I will say now?"
