"Father, this South Study Room is actually where you select a group of people to help you review memorials."
"Isn't that the Prime Minister's Office? Now the Prime Minister's Office also helps me review the memorial."
Before Zhao Hao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ying Zheng waving his hand.
Zhao Hao shrugged and said helplessly: "The current Prime Minister's Mansion is indeed helping my father to review the memorials, but it is only temporary. When my father returns from the east tour, the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion will still be taken back by my father, isn't it? ?”
"Is there a problem with this? They have done everything, what should I do?"
Ying Zheng frowned and asked.
Naturally, he is not Zhao Hao's character who hands off the shopkeeper. He hopes that everything is under his control.
After all, he has been fighting for power since he was a child. What is the key point in the conflict between Lu Buwei and him? It was because Lu Buwei felt that unifying the six countries should be done slowly, and he didn't want to take it slow, so Lu Buwei had to be forced offline.
As for why he reused Li Si? In fact, it is very simple. It is because Li Si's system of three officials and nine ministers is very consistent with his idea of centralizing power.
Such a person with a strong desire for power cannot give up power easily.
But Zhao Hao said seriously: "Father, have you forgotten the previous system of three provinces and six ministries? I, Da Qin, had originally planned to reform the official system, and now that I have the opportunity, I can start the reform from the South Study Room."
"How to reform?"
"First of all, the memorials accepted by the six departments will be uniformly sent to the Nan Study, and the Minister of the Southern Study will write his own opinions on the memorial. Secondly, he will write an approval note and uniformly send it to the father's study;
If you read the approval slip and think it is acceptable, then stamp it and send it to the Sixth Department. If not, then let these people discuss it, or have the emperor personally approve it! "
"this"
After Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately became interested and subconsciously looked at Li Si, only to see Li Si encouraging Zhao Hao to continue speaking with admiration in his eyes.
In this way, even if he is not the prime minister, he can still handle national affairs. For ministers like them, it is simply a dream treatment.
However, what Zhao Hao said next made Li Si feel nervous again.
Just listen to Zhao Hao say: "These ministers of the South Study Room only have titles but no official positions. They are not responsible for any affairs of the court. They are only responsible for helping my father handle government affairs. They have no decision-making power, only the right to make suggestions!"
"In addition, these ministers of the South Study Room are directly appointed by the emperor, and then they are managed by a minister with high moral standing, whose qualifications and abilities can convince everyone!"
"Of course, this minister does not need to be responsible to anyone, only to his father!"
"Oh? Can this still happen?"
Ying Zheng smiled.
He never imagined that government affairs could be handled in this way.
However, with his extremely keen political vision, he quickly discovered the problem and asked:
“Do these people have tenure?”
Although these people will not be a threat when he is emperor, it is difficult to predict the successor monarch. If he is influenced by these people, their suggestions can easily become decisions.
This is not a good thing.
But I heard Zhao Hao mutter: "These people cannot stay in the same position forever and need to be rotated, such as every three years or every five years. Once the term is up, they will be immediately assigned to the six ministries or assigned to local posts;
In this way, they can handle government affairs better. After all, they all have experience and can handle it easily! "
"color!"
Li Si's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but cheer.
Ying Zheng glanced at him and smiled knowingly.
But Zhao Hao has not finished what he said: "These people can be selected from Hanlin bachelors who have passed the examination, or they can be the descendants of meritorious ministers. As long as the father is happy, anyone can go and train!"
"Ah!"
Ying Zheng snorted and raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, "Can the prince go too?"
Zhao Hao's face immediately darkened and he said firmly: "No!"
"Hahaha--!"
Ying Zheng raised his head and laughed, and Li Si also laughed.
They all know Zhao Hao's lazy character.
Zhao Hao only likes to help others dig holes, and never wants to jump into the hole himself.
However, Zhao Hao's method is indeed good.
Although there are some flaws, at least it gives them a direction.
"Actually, this move seems to divide the power of the emperor, but after careful consideration, it is found that it is not because the emperor is always looking at the overall situation!"
"Oh? What about, for example?"
Zhao Hao thought for a while and said: "For example, these people help my father filter out some trivial matters and give their own opinions. My father only needs to take a look and does not need to review them;
It not only saves time, but also can train useful ministers for the court, and also limits the power of the six ministries! "
"And if they leave as soon as they expire, you don't have to worry about them abusing their power!"
"As for the formation of cliques and selfish interests that the emperor is worried about, it is basically impossible. No matter how many memorials they approve, they have no way to advance. If they are not careful, they may be punished by the emperor, so they can only keep their peace and do things!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile meaningfully:
"If they do well, they can be assigned to good yamen, or even serve in local governments. If they don't do well, they will be punished, or they will never be hired!"
"Um"
Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth, thinking constantly. After a moment, he turned to look at Zhao Hao and asked: "Who is the better minister to manage these people?"
"I think anyone can do it. It depends on my father's decision. Anyway, this person doesn't have an official position." Zhao Hao spread his hands and said.
Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he grinned: "That's right, I will immediately ask Wang Wan to make a list of talents, and the people from the Talent Camp will also arrange for me to enter the South Study Room!"
"Caishi camp?"
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
Li Si on the side smiled and explained: "The talent camp is a place dedicated to training young officers!"
"Is there still a place like this in our Daqin?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Hao was scalped by Ying Zheng and said with a smile: "You think you are the only one who can cultivate talents? I am no worse than you!"
"I didn't say that my father is worse than me."
Zhao Hao covered his head and muttered: "This is the first time I've heard of this kind of place."
Ying Zheng smiled, waved his hand and said: "Okay, tomorrow I will issue an order to establish the South Study Room. Wang Wan will temporarily take charge of the South Study Room. The rest will be discussed after I go on a tour to the east!"
Is it Wang Wan again?
It seems that my father’s desire to change his appearance has not changed!
However, Wang Wan is indeed suitable for the general leadership of the South Study Room.
Thinking secretly in his heart, Zhao Hao looked up at Ying Zheng again and asked, "Is your father about to set off?"
"Yeah, just tomorrow."
Ying Zheng nodded and said calmly: "I want to see the new country I won as soon as possible!"
"But Father, your health has just improved, so there is no need to rush it, right?"
"I know my body well. You don't need to worry about it. Just take care of yourself first and don't cause any trouble to me again!"
"this"
Zhao Hao was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Originally, he wanted to keep Ying Zheng in Yongcheng for a few more days and find a way to intercede for Gong Ziliang and the others, but Ying Zheng was so angry that he was speechless.
Thinking about it, Ying Zheng should have seen what he was thinking and wouldn't let him interfere in this matter.
Faced with this situation, Zhao Hao was helpless.
We can only wait for Ying Zhengdong to come on tour and then think of a solution.
"Since my father is leaving tomorrow, I will be there."
"Son! It's a fucking success!"
Before Zhao Hao could finish speaking, an excited shout came from the distance.
Zhao Hao: "."
Ying Zheng: "."
Li Si: "."
The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
After a while, Zhao Hao blushed in embarrassment and quickly explained to Ying Zheng and the others, "It should be that the porcelain was fired successfully."
He had previously encouraged craftsmen that failure was a damn success, but the person who reported it didn't know what was going on and simply said, 'It was a damn success.'
This made Zhao Hao so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
However, Ying Zheng didn't seem to pay much attention to these words. Instead, he showed excitement when he heard the news of 'porcelain success'.
"Come on, let's go take a look too!"
Ying Zheng waved his sleeves and led Li Si toward Taofang without allowing Zhao Hao to say anything.
By the time Ying Zheng and the others arrived at Taofang, Taofang was already surrounded by people.
In the small courtyard of the pottery workshop under the scorching sun, many craftsmen responsible for firing pottery were whispering.
But it can be seen from their blank expressions that they don't know what happened.
The reason why I was attracted here was because the craftsmen in the small courtyard were too excited and yelled in the yard.
That's right, just yelling.
When the guards pushed aside the crowd and entered the small courtyard, the first thing Ying Zheng and the others saw was not the porcelain, but the three craftsmen who were shouting.
At the beginning, Ying Zheng and the other two people, like those onlookers, thought they were firing porcelain and were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
But seeing each of them covering their hands, covering their heads and jumping up and down, they couldn't help but have weird expressions on their faces.
Is this an epileptic attack?
"Sir, this is incredible."
"Your Majesty"
Bai Zhong spotted Zhao Hao immediately and rushed toward him excitedly, but when he saw Ying Zheng and Li Si beside Zhao Hao, he quickly wanted to salute Ying Zheng.
But he saw Ying Zheng smiling at him and shaking his head, indicating that he should keep quiet.
"Sir, we finally made porcelain."
Bai Zhong suppressed his excitement and came to Zhao Hao's side in three steps. He bowed to Ying Zheng first and then lowered his voice to report to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded; "Looking at you like this, I know it's done."
After saying that, he seemed to remember something again, pointed at the jumping craftsmen, tilted his head and said, "What's going on with them?"
"this"
Bai Zhong subconsciously glanced at Ying Zheng and said awkwardly: "They were burned."
"Is it burned?"
Zhao Hao was stunned and asked in surprise: "They shouldn't be able to pick up the newly fired porcelain with their bare hands, right?"
"Exactly."
Although he didn't want to admit it, Bai Zhong still nodded in response to Ying Zheng's presence.
But seeing Zhao Hao's head covered with black lines, he couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead: "Can you all be professional, please? At such a high temperature, you are not afraid of burning your hands?"
Bai Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "It's not their fault, it's mainly because they saw porcelain for the first time and temporarily forgot about the danger!"
"Yes, sir, this is porcelain. We have never seen porcelain before. Being able to make something like this in this life is worth it!"
As soon as Bai Zhong finished speaking, a young craftsman with blistered hands ran over excitedly and echoed.
Zhao Hao glanced at him and couldn't help but joked: "Didn't you feel wrong before? How do you feel now?"
"this"
The young craftsman was stunned for a moment, then smiled dryly.
Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head, waving his hands and saying: "Okay, you go take care of your injuries first. Don't make it serious. I will notify you after the reward!"
"Thank you, sir!"
After watching the young craftsman leave, Zhao Hao turned to Ying Zheng and said, "Father, let's go and have a look too!"
"good!"
Ying Zheng simply responded and walked straight to the place where the porcelain was placed.
When they first saw the porcelain, they were instantly attracted by its beauty.
But Zhao Hao seemed a little disappointed.
Because the white porcelain in his impression should be pure white, but the porcelain fired now is milky white, even a little dark red.
This is probably due to the iron content and the unskilled screening process.
In addition, the surface gloss of these porcelain is not very good, which should be related to the glaze.
"Is this porcelain?"
Ying Zheng asked in surprise: "Are you sure it's not jade?"
"Jade?"
Zhao Hao reacted, stepped forward and explained with a smile: "No, this is the most traditional white porcelain, and colored porcelain can also be fired in the future."
"It's so beautiful. This porcelain is so beautiful."
Li Si had a look on his face that he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Hao smiled, pointed at the porcelain on the ground and said, "If Li Tingwei likes it, you can give it to me."
"Cough, cough"
Before Zhao Hao finished saying the word 'send', he heard Ying Zheng next to him cough suddenly, and quickly changed his words: "You can send it to my father's car, you can watch it slowly."
Although he felt it was unsatisfactory, compared with the 'celadon' of this era, it was just like the gap between Sister Feng and Chang'e.
This can be seen from the performance of the craftsmen who have been making pottery for decades, as well as the liking of Li Si and Ying Zheng.
Although Zhao Hao's idea of giving it to him was interrupted by Ying Zheng, it still did not hinder Li Si's love for porcelain, but he suddenly said again: "Can I touch it?"
"Okay, there should be no temperature now!"
After saying that, Zhao Hao turned to look at Bai Zhong.
Bai Zhong smiled and nodded; "It's been sitting there for a while, it's not hot anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Li Si quickly squatted down and reached out to touch the porcelain.
As soon as he touched the porcelain, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so slippery!"
"Slippery? I'll touch it too."
Originally, Ying Zheng was quite calm, but when he saw Li Si being so uncalm, his heart moved slightly. He also squatted down and touched the porcelain bottle in front of him to feel how smooth it was.
However, it's okay if you don't touch it. Once you touch it, you just can't put it down.
Zhao Hao looked at them, somewhat dumbfounded.
But Ying Zheng sighed indifferently: "What a good thing!"
After saying that, he picked up the porcelain bottle with a smile, looked at it carefully for a while, turned to Zhao Hao and said:
"Can you bake more? I want to take it with me on the road."
"It will definitely be no problem to bake more, but it will take time. Father, you will leave tomorrow, I'm afraid."
"changed!"
"ah?"
Zhao Hao's expression was confused.
Ying Zheng touched the porcelain bottle and said, "If it can't be used, I will feel uncomfortable all over."
"It's not Father, didn't you say that before?"
"Okay, move all these white porcelains to the palace. From today on, I will only use porcelain."
Zhao Hao: "."
They say women are fickle, so why are men so fickle? !
