"Clang clang clang!"

Along with the melodious bells, the gate of Jiujian Palace opened, and the ministers entered the palace... they lined up in two rows, with solemn expressions, and no one whispered to each other!

It's just that in private... They all carry the Concentric Cards specially refined by Jin Ling. As long as they are worn, they can be activated, and they can talk to each other in their hearts...

"The king enters the palace!"

The door to the apse opened... Di Xin stumbled into the palace with Daji in his arms, and with her help, sat on the throne...

He raised his head to look at the ministers, and was about to say something... The body that was leaning on Daji, who was still swaying just now, instantly sat upright, with a look of panic on his face!

[Grand Master...Grand Master, aren't you in Nanzhen? When did you return to Chaoge? 】

【Scared...scared me to death! You...you must not come here with a gold mace! 】

Master Wen raised his head and glanced at Di Xin, but didn't say anything... Di Xin was relieved in his heart. If he was whipped with a golden mace, that person would be in trouble!

After discovering the Grand Master, Di Xin looked at the others again...

【Shang Rong? Bigan? Zhao Qi? Yang Ren? Why are they back? 】

[And the queen... who called her back! Wasn't she assigned by me? Why are you still standing in the queue of generals now? 】

Di Xin couldn't help but murmur in his heart... Shang Rong was in Jizhou, Bigan was in Beizhen, and the queen and grand master were also far away in the two towns in the southeast. How did they come back?

He didn't doubt whether he could arrive within three days... After all, this was a prehistoric world, and the human race was also the protagonist of the world. If he couldn't do this, it would be too LOW!

"Master, you...why are you here?"

"Didn't the king say that he would hold a court meeting?"

The grand master raised his head and glanced at Di Xin: "In the great court meeting, naturally all officials who have reached the highest grade must attend!"

"What about Jiang Zhen? How can she come? Her position as queen has been stripped away!"

"Your Majesty,"

Queen Jiang stepped out calmly and said: "Have you forgotten, your Majesty, that in addition to the position of queen, I also have the position of president of the Women's Protectorate Association, and the rank of the court is comparable to that of King Wucheng of Zhenguo!"

[Yeah, I forgot about this! 】

Di Xin was speechless by Queen Jiang's words... Indeed, they just kicked the queen out that day, which also only reduced her position as queen. They completely forgot that she was also the president of the Women's Congress!

He was about to open his mouth and then cut it... But the grand master just gave him a look and told him to shut up obediently...

[That’s it, it’s just a few women... At worst, we’ll kick her out after the meeting! 】

[Today is a great opportunity to shake up the destiny of the country. Don’t miss it...]

"Ahem, the imperial meeting is being held today, and the topic is reform!"

"The so-called reform refers to major changes to the existing system of Dashang!"

Having said this, Di Xin paused deliberately and looked at everyone, waiting for him to refute him.

[Come on, someone will jump out to criticize Gu. Gu is already ready to refute. 】

But to Di Xin's surprise, everyone looked at him silently, and no one spoke at all. This made Di Xin, who stopped on purpose, look very...awkward!

"No one objects?"

Di Xin couldn't help but blinked and looked at the ministers.

The ministers were indifferent... Emperor Xin was unhappy and took the initiative to call out his name: "Uncle Wang, do you think it's okay? Gu Ke is changing the ancestral system!"

"nature."

Bigan Shiran came out and said: "I used to serve in the Great Shang Court, and I have been in power in Beizhen for the past two years... I know very well that there is a shortage of officials in the court, and the distribution of powers and responsibilities is unclear; in the towns below, more It is highly consistent with the court, the local officials are in chaos and should have been reformed long ago.”

"Forehead……"

Di Xin twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at the other ministers... They all looked like they were taking it for granted, which made him feel a little at a loss? !

"You all think so too?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

All the ministers bowed together, and Emperor Xin was at a loss...

[Gangqinggu was afraid of this and that before... Are all the worries in vain? 】

"Well, since all the gentlemen have no objections... the chamberlain, please distribute the reform system of the court that I wrote in these three days to all the ministers!"

Emperor Xin waved his hand... The inner attendant pushed out a cart of bamboo slips from the apse. Just as he was about to open it, Wen Zhong came out and said, "Your Majesty, it would be too troublesome to look at each one one by one. Why don't you give it to me?"

"Oh? Then leave it to the Grand Master!"

[Yes, I wrote so much, how long did it take to read each one! 】

The Grand Master stepped forward and took the bamboo slip...then opened the bamboo slip and touched it upwards. Each text turned into golden light and flew into the air. In just a moment, all the contents were suspended in the air of the hall like a projection.

"Gu will explain it to you gentlemen. Waiter, bring a short stick to Gu."

Seeing this situation, Di Xinna became interested... jumped up from the throne, took the round stick handed by the chamberlain, and began to explain.

"First of all, the current power of the court is unclear and there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates. Gu decided to reform this..."

"Above the imperial court, Gugong is divided into three provinces, six ministries and nine ranks... The three provinces are divided into Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province..."

"In the Zhongshu Province, there are two Zhongshu Lings, who are responsible for assisting the king, that is, Gu, in governing affairs, making suggestions and assisting Gu in issuing decrees..." To put it simply, it is the General Secretariat...

"The Ministry of Menxia, ​​also known as the Supervisory Yuan, has two servants and middlemen, opens the Dongtai, recruits officials, and is responsible for supervising the world..." It is equivalent to the procuratorate plus the Jinyi Guards.

"The Shangshu Province has the heaviest responsibilities. It has six ministries to manage hundreds of officials...the six ministries are the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment..."

"The Department of Rites is divided into two departments, namely the Education Department and Honglu Temple..."

"The Ministry of Household Affairs is also divided into two departments, one is the Household Registration Department, and the other is the Finance Department..."

"The officials in charge of the Ministry of Personnel are promoted and deployed, and work closely with the Menxia Province to formulate a promotion system, which is graded by the Menxia Province officials..."

"Ministry of Industry..."

"The Ministry of War..."

"Ministry of Punishment..."

Emperor Xin introduced the three-province, six-ministry and nine-grade system to the ministers one by one...it took half a quarter of an hour to finish everything.

"This reform of the imperial system is called the system of three provinces, six ministries and nine grades. I wonder if you ministers have any opinions?"

All the ministers looked at each other, and after a while, the former prime minister Shang Rong came out: "The court system established by the king is very good and complete, and the rights and responsibilities in all aspects are clearly divided. But I have one thing I want to ask."

"Oh? My dear, feel free to speak out!"

Di Xin's eyes lit up, someone finally criticized him.

"According to what Your Majesty said about the three provinces and six ministries, if you want to perfect the entire system, you will need at least a thousand people...Has Your Majesty ever thought about where to recruit people to fill them?"

"It's a simple matter," Di Xin waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Just order the Ministry of Personnel to recruit officials from various places to supplement."

"No!"

Bigan jumped out and objected: "Those who can enter the Chaoge Court are all those whose ability and character have been proven... I have traveled throughout the Northland in the past two years. Most of the local officials are corrupt and harm the people, so what?" Can you be called into the Central Committee?"

"Moreover, the local officials have been transferred away, and there is also a shortage of officials in the local area..."

[Damn, this old boy is too smart, right? Seeing through the big pit buried alone in one glance, it is worthy of the exquisite heart with seven orifices...]

[The original intention is to recruit more officials into the court, and undercover agents will definitely be sent to the three towns... But with being compared to Gan, doesn't it mean that there is no chance at all? No, I have to find a way to push back...]

When Di Xin was about to think of a reason to fight back, Grand Master Wen Zhong spoke up and made the final decision!

"If there are not enough people, then fill in the key positions first! After that, the officials will ask the subordinates to inspect and report to the Ministry of Personnel for approval for promotion!"

"Master!"

"Ok, deal!"

Wen Zhong glanced at Di Xin indifferently. The reason Di Xin wanted to find could no longer be said...

[That’s all, even if you recruit an undercover agent, even if you are not a top actor like Yang Jian, you can’t deceive the grand master...]

[By the way, Yang Jian is really awesome. He has been here for more than half a year and he still hasn’t exposed himself at all...]

Hearing that Di Xin was about to go astray again, Wen Zhong coughed heavily and signaled Di Xin to continue!

"Yes, yes, in addition to inspections, we can also train officials ourselves... Now that all the ministers are here, we will first decide on the chief officers of each department, and then slowly fill in the ranks."

"Zhongshu Ling is required to assist Gu in handling political affairs and needs to be with him for a long time... Su Daji and Yang Ling'er can be Zhongshu Ling, with an official rank up to the second rank, Huang Feihong, Yang Chan... can be named Zhongshu Sheren, with an official rank up to the third rank. !”

[Hmph, you guys can’t guess here. If Daji is appointed as Zhongshu Ling, she can justly and openly correct the imperial edict and harm others! 】

Ministers: Yes, why didn’t we think of this? So if there are some things that are inconvenient to tell the king, you can make a decree yourself?

I glanced at the nine halls and saw no one objected!

Di Xin nodded with satisfaction and continued: "The sect is under the province, and the minister is appointed by the champion Hou Yang Jian, who is the first rank!"

"I accept the decree!"

[Haha, you didn’t expect that Yang Jian is the future god of justice! With him in charge of the Procuratorate and the Royal Guards, you are still not under strict control? Oh, by the way, he's still undercover! Isn't it just a matter of deceiving and harming people? 】

Yang Jian: I will do my duty wholeheartedly and will never tolerate any corrupt officials!

"Then there is the Ministry of Secretariat... Let Jiang Ziya, the left prime minister, be in charge of civil affairs; Li Jing, the right prime minister, be in charge of military affairs, both are of the first rank!"

"Thank you!"

Seeing the two of them coming out, Di Xin was overjoyed...

[Haha, one is an undercover agent sent by the original saint; the other has sons who are all disciples of the Chan Cult... This wave is stable! 】

Jiang Ziya: For the sake of the human race, I will do my best and die!

Li Jing: The human race should stand at the top of all races!

"The Minister of Rites: Xia Zhao, granted the second rank..."

"Minister of the Ministry of War: Lu Xiong, granted the second rank..."

"Minister of the Ministry of Personnel: Fei Zhong, granted the second rank..."

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Household Affairs: You Hun, granted the second rank title..."

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry: Zhao Qi, granted the second rank..."

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Punishment: Fei Lian, granted the second rank..."

[Fei Zhong and You Hun are in charge of official promotion and national finance. They must not accept corruption or bribery, and then cultivate a group of corrupt officials... It is a pity that there are too few treacherous ministers, otherwise Gu Fei will all be assigned to the position of minister! 】

Fei Zhong and You Hun: Your Majesty, you have wronged me! We...we have changed it a long time ago! Now he is no longer a corrupt official, but a loyal minister! It's Junchen!

Wen Zhong: Oh, remember your words! If you dare to commit another crime again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!

Jiang Ziya: Grand Master, don’t worry, they won’t dare if the truth is there!

Di Xin glanced around and saw that no one objected. Such a scene made him even more proud!

"In addition, Wenzhong was granted the title of Grand Master, with a first-rank official position; Bigan was granted the title of governor of Beizhen, in charge of two hundred princes; Shangrong was granted the title of governor of Jizhou... all the governors of various places were granted first-rank status!"

One by one, the official positions were arranged by Di Xin. After the arrangements were completed by the chief officers of each department, Di Xin stopped talking.

"As for the arrangements for other ministers, after the dynasty is dismissed, the chief officials can report to the Ministry of Education for approval!"

"I accept the decree!"

All the ministers bowed down to express their knowledge.

"Today's court meeting is over, and the chief officials of various ministries need to fill their posts as soon as possible to handle political affairs..."

Emperor Xin waved his hand to indicate that the court should be dismissed... and then looked at Jiang Ziya and Li Jing: "The prime minister on the left, the prime minister on the right, and the six ministers, came to Shouxian Palace after the court was dismissed. I still have important matters to entrust!"

"As for the Grand Master and King Wucheng... you should return to Youhun Pass and Sanshan Pass first to prevent war!"

"Dismiss the dynasty!"

After leaving Jiujian Palace, Emperor Xin proudly hugged Daji and Concubine Yang and walked to Shouxian Palace...

[Hey, after the new system is implemented, I can finally dig holes...]

[In the past, there were so many loyal ministers in the court. If you wanted to do something, someone would jump out to oppose it... Now, it's okay. The grand master, the queen, and King Wucheng have all been thrown out. The current chief officer of the six departments is either an undercover agent or himself. People, it’s not just that you can play whatever you want. 】

[I still don’t believe it. I’m trying my best to cure the orphan. Isn’t it possible to bring harm to the country and the people? 】

[The position of saint... is waiting for me! You will definitely succeed! 】

Concubine Yang and Daji accompanied Di Xin with secret laughter in their hearts, hehe, my lord, you are so naive!

Half an hour later, in the Shouxian Palace, Jiang Ziya and Li Jing walked in with the six ministers and Yang Jian, the provincial minister.

"Meet the king!"

"Everybody sit down,"

Di Xin hugged Daji and waved to a few people, motioning for them to sit down... They didn't refuse, and each found a place to sit down.

"All of you, my dears, are Gu's confidants. Now that the court system has changed drastically, have you ever gotten used to it?"

"Reporting to the king, although the position has changed, the political affairs are still the same. But because the authority is determined, it is easier to handle. The king is wise."

Fei Zhong and You Hun were flattering each other when they opened their mouths, which made Di Xin smile from ear to ear!

[You two are worthy of being traitors, you know how to talk! No wonder there are a few treacherous ministers under the faint emperor who are causing harm. This feeling of satisfaction is so good! 】

"But there are also difficulties when the court changes."

Jiang Ziya frowned and said: "To put it simply, with the current demand in the court, it will be impossible to fill the positions in less than ten years... I wonder, Your Majesty, is there any way?"

"I've been waiting for you to come here for this matter."

Di Xin cheerfully handed over several documents... What was written on them was papermaking, printing, simplified Chinese characters, etc.

"Xia Shangshu, you are responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. You should know that literacy is difficult nowadays... These materials can quickly increase the literacy rate of the people. You can cooperate with You Shangshu to quickly promote them...

Once popularized, it will only take a dozen years to cultivate a group of literate people and fill the ranks of officials..."

"In addition, I have another idea. You said that all human beings are compatriots, so why should we be divided into three, six or nine levels...especially the slave..."

I hope readers will support me a lot! Be sure to order all of them! ~
