Prime Minister is the official position of Zhuge Wuhou and Cao Cao, and Taifu is the official position of Sima Yi.
This is very subtle.
But Qingzhu has taken the medicine three times, and now he trusts Jiang Yao so much that he almost obeys her words. He could not imagine Jiang Yao's thoughts.
What bad thoughts could Zhongda have?
impossible.
Therefore, Qingzhu happily issued an order to appoint Jiang Yao as the prime minister and Taifu, and opened a palace and built a tooth in accordance with Jiang Yao's regulations.
The order said: "The reform of Daqing began today. Today, the dynasty is established, the government is established, the Daqing system is improved, and a new generation is created..."
The order said: "The post of prime minister is newly established to assist the king in managing yin and yang, and he is the leader of hundreds of officials..."
The Yaoling Mansion was changed to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and officials were allowed to choose themselves.
Allocate five hundred troops and horses to protect the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Jiang Yao was ordered to preside over the establishment of imperial departments and local departments, select officials, and carry out enlightenment.
All political power was entrusted to Jiang Yao.
At the same time, Yin Zhu was appointed Taiwei and Lan Sheng was appointed Yushi Dafu.
Han Cang was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War, Wen Renda was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Wen Xin was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Fengji was the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, Liang Ji was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Dong Yan was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments.
The six official books are all of the second grade.
In addition, all other civil servant appointments were given to Jiang Yao!
How to do it specifically and what the regulations of each department are are all determined by ginger medicine.
It is equivalent to saying that, except for the three ministers and the six ministers, who were personally appointed by Qingzhu, all civil servants, from the central to the local governments, were appointed by Jiang Yao.
Overnight, Jiang Yao became the most powerful retainer in the entire Qing clan!
The way this person takes power is a bit ugly.
But can Jiang Yao not be in a hurry? This is the only way for him to accumulate millions of willpower in ten years. He doesn't have much time, his life is almost gone, can he take his time?
If he cannot collect the "Shen Nong's Pharmacopoeia" within a few years, saving millions of willpower is his only chance to survive.
Although Qingzhu trusted Jiang Yao very much, he was not confused and was completely normal in other aspects.
The reason why Jiang Yao is so assured is because he doesn't take politics seriously.
What he values is always force, soldiers and horses, and resources.
As long as he is successful in cultivating Taoism, has military power, and has resources at hand, no matter how powerful Jiang Yao is in politics, what will happen?
Moreover, setting up a court and implementing reforms can also digest the new territory occupied as quickly as possible.
Not only Qingzhu, but also the newly appointed first-class retainers such as Taiwei, Yushi, and six ministers did not take this new appointment seriously.
What prime minister? What Taifu? What Shangshu? What nine-rank official system?
I don’t know. I haven’t heard of it.
The lord must have intended to innovate after destroying the clan. Then just obey. Who thinks he has too many titles?
This matter was probably Jiang Zhongda's idea, so let him do it. Who makes him the popular one in the eyes of the lord now?
Therefore, after receiving the appointment, these people were first surprised and couldn't believe it. Then they adopted an indifferent attitude.
So what kind of system can increase cultivation or enhance military force?
cannot.
In terms of benefits, it is that it helps the lord gather local power and enhance the majesty of Qinghuang City. From this point of view, it may not be Jiang Yao's idea, but it may be the lord's.
But in Daqing, whatever the master says is whatever it is, and no one dares to object.
The city lords and lords of various counties, including the Jiang clan, must be dissatisfied. But no matter how dissatisfied they are, they dare not resist their lord.
Anyway, it couldn't end in the end, because Jiang Yao was the scapegoat.
Thinking of this, everyone finally understood why the lord suddenly trusted Jiang Yao so much.
It turned out that the master deliberately showed trust in him and used ginger medicine as a knife to carry out the so-called reform.
The success of the reform is the result of the lord. The failure of the reform...
Haha, then Jiang Yao will take the blame and kill him to eliminate public anger.
In the Lan family's mansion, Lan Sheng received the appointment from the imperial censor, with a very amused look on his face.
He said to a woman in front of him: "...No wonder the lord trusts Jiang Yao so much. It turns out he has such considerations. Haha, poor Jiang Yao is young and energetic, and is eager to perform meritorious deeds. I'm afraid the end will be ugly."
The woman smiled and said, "That's what the godfather said. The court and the prime minister sound extremely powerful. How could the lord be handed over to a hairless boy? Of course he is just treated as a chess piece that can be discarded at any time."
"If the imperial court system is really established, then the position of prime minister will not be that of godfather?"
"If it fails to be built and the trouble gets out of hand, wouldn't Jiang Yao be the scapegoat?"
Of course, this woman is Lan Lan. She is looking for a killer to assassinate Jiang Yao and eliminate future troubles. But at this time, she wants to take it easy.
She hoped that Jiang Yao would build up the imperial court system before being kicked away by her lord, allowing her godfather to take the position of prime minister.
Then let him live and make a wedding dress for his godfather.
Lan Sheng is an important minister of the Qing Lord and a family minister of the monarch. He does not believe in his Lord or himself, but instead believes in Jiang Yao.
Therefore, he was sure that the real candidate for prime minister in his lord's heart must be himself.
However, in order to protect yourself, you can only introduce ginger medicine first.
Jiang Yao is just being used. No matter whether the imperial court can be built or not, he will not be good.
After figuring this out, Lan Sheng was in a very good mood.
When this man is in a good mood, he becomes interested.
"Lan'er, you have worked hard day and night, thank you for your hard work." Lan Sheng said with a smile.
Why didn't Lan Lan understand? She immediately stood up and walked gracefully towards her godfather.
"Did Lan'er want to be a father during this time?"
"I want to be my father...hehe."
…………
"What? Prime Minister, Taifu? What kind of position is this for a retainer?"
In Lord Mingshan's mansion, Yu Shu asked with a puzzled look.
Jiang Yao personally poured a cup of tea for Yu Shu and explained patiently:
"The prime minister is the head of a hundred officials. This official is similar to a retainer. The prime minister is also the head of the retainers, and the tutor is actually a title to show nobility..."
Yu Shu understood and smiled sweetly: "So you want me to be the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Office? I am your sister, why do you want to help me?"
Jiang Yao smiled bitterly: "It's true that I don't have any suitable candidates. Uncle Lang and Aunt Huan are old and don't know how to manage politics. My sister only manages a lot of things in the Yu Clan. Regardless of their cultivation and knowledge, they are both
If you choose the right candidate, who else can be this long history besides Ajie?"
Yu Shu thought for a while and nodded helplessly: "Okay, for Kuner's sake, I will be your official historian for two years."
"I know what you're thinking. You want to take over the power but don't want to manage too many trivial matters, so you leave it to me."
"Your lord, why did you choose to be the prime minister? Although you have made the first contribution and are trusted by him, you are still too young after all, so he is so relieved?"
Jiang Yao smiled and replied with a playful look: "What sister said is absolutely true. Let me tell you, he chose me as prime minister just because I am young."
"The court he created is something new and the risk is not small. If it fails, I can take the blame. After all, I am young and have no foundation, so I am the best candidate to take the blame."
"If the imperial court is successfully established and everything is on track, he will not be afraid of losing power. It is because I am young and there is no threat."
Yu Shu asked: "What are you going to do as the first step?"
Jiang Yao said: "Of course we must first select some officials from the lord's mansion to serve as officials in the prime minister's mansion. First, build the prime minister's mansion."
"Not bad. What about the second step?"
"Oh, the second step is to select officials in the name of the Prime Minister's Office. I personally select a hundred officials to enrich the various ministries of the imperial court. Then I promulgate the responsibilities and regulations of each ministry."
"The third step is to wait until the imperial court is established. In the name of the Prime Minister's Office, local officials of the fifth rank and above will be selected. In the name of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, officials of the fifth rank and below will be selected."
Yu Shu listened and looked at the entire charter in her hand. She felt that this kind of system reform was really shocking, and the backlash in various places would be huge.
At least, Yu Val will never do this.
She was sure that other martial arts clans would not do this either.
If you do this, the situation of the low-level casual cultivators may get better, but the lives of the powerful and powerful people everywhere will not be easy.
The major business owners are not having a good time either.
Of course, the central authority of the monarch's government will be greatly enhanced.
This could easily spark large-scale opposition and even civil unrest.
Because Qingzhu not only set up a court, but also stationed so-called officials in various places to replace the previous city lords and rule directly in the name of county officials.
What is a City Lord?
It is the martial arts clan among martial arts clans.
Although the name is to manage the local area on behalf of the feudal lord, in fact it has considerable autonomy and governing power.
Qingzhu's approach was tantamount to letting the court directly administer the local area, abolishing the power of the city lord and lords to manage the local area.
The interests of many people will be affected.
The fact that Master Qing dares to do this shows that he has great ambitions.
In fact, Yu Shu guessed wrong.
Qingzhu does have the idea and desire to increase centralization of power, and he is more courageous than the average clan leader. But this idea is not the intention of Qingzhu, but the intention of the "brother-in-law" in front of her.
If she had known, Yu Shu would have scolded Jiang Yao.
"Zhongda, Master Qing asked you to come forward, probably with the intention of using you as a pawn. Then you may be the scapegoat."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. If things change, you can follow me to Yu Clan."
Jiang Yao nodded and said: "Sister, don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Among the counties in this place, the three original Qing clan counties will not be moved for now, only the ten newly occupied counties in the past few years will be moved!"
Yu Shu's eyes lit up, "Not bad!"
In the ten counties newly occupied by the Qing clan, the original local forces have disappeared and the new local forces have not yet established a stable foothold. This is the opportunity to take action.
No wonder Lord Qing dares to do this.
Jiang Yao continued: "If it really comes to the point of getting out of hand, I will naturally follow my sister to the Yu clan. However, my sister can't deliberately cause trouble."
Yu Shu rolled her eyes at him and sneered: "Tch, you underestimate me."
After spending some time with ginger medicine, she learned to "cut" it.
Yu Shu suddenly looked at Jiang Yao with a smile but not a smile: "Kun'er asked me to tell you not to contact her in the future, and she will not contact her unless it is necessary."
Jiang Yao frowned: "Why is this?"
"What she means is that if you contact her often, you won't miss her. So leave her in your thoughts. When you see her again, it will be like three autumns." Yu Shu was also speechless. What this girl was thinking was really
It's different.
Jiang Yao was also speechless.
Hey, why bother? In my heart, you are still the little girl Jiangcao.
…
The next day, Jiang Yao selected ten family members with martial master cultivation, plus Yu Shu and two martial arts guards, as well as Uncle Lang and Aunt Huan, and left the lord's mansion for Qinghuang City.
After settling everyone in the Yaoling Mansion, which was renamed the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Yao went straight to the Jun Mansion to meet Lord Qing.
The young man was holding a snake staff and shaking his feather fan slightly, walking swaggeringly in the palace, which was as beautiful as a royal palace. Everyone looked at him wherever he passed.
Most of the officials and maids in the palace nodded slightly when they saw Jiang Yao.
"My lord, Jiang Yao, pays homage to my lord, long live, long live, long live!"
Jiang Yao entered the inner hall of Qinghuang Hall and knelt down seriously.
In order to achieve the goal, we must enhance the supreme aura of Qingzhu, starting with etiquette.
The etiquette and laws established by him must be implemented first.
The ceremonial honor that Qingzhu enjoys now will be his own ceremonial honor in the future.
Only with systems and etiquette can there be order, law, and education.
"No courtesy." Master Qing said with a smile.
He was very happy when he saw the ginger medicine. He had already taken four pills.
Jiang Yao was also thinking: "Master, have you taken the medicine?"
The young man with the snake staff fell to the ground and said respectfully: "My lord should say Pingshen. This is a term reserved for the monarch, just like my lord calls himself a widower."
"Hahaha." Master Qing couldn't help but laugh. He liked the etiquette formulated by Jiang Yao very much, "Then you can stay flat."
"I obey! Thank you, Lord!"
Jiang Yao stood up this time.
Yes, this "obey the edict" is also a newly established etiquette. In the past, retainers would just say "yes" casually.
After being reminded, Master Qing also became serious.
"Give me a seat."
"Thank you, Lord!"
The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, which was a warm scene of the monarch and his subjects enjoying each other.
"Zhongda said that the opening ceremony of the dynasty will be held in January. Is it too late?"
Qingzhu asked.
After reading the etiquette regulations presented by Jiang Yao before, he was also very interested in the opening ceremony of the dynasty.
Jiang Yao shook her feather fan slightly and talked eloquently:
"It's totally time to inform my lord, it's just a matter of etiquette. I will set up the various departments of the court within the next half month. Another half month will be spent practicing court etiquette, which is more than enough."
"There is one more thing that I want to report to my lord. I believe that my lord should decide on a reign name. I think the characteristics of Daqing will help unite the hearts of our Daqing people and boost the morale of the army and the people."
"My lord, the founding of the new dynasty is truly a grand event for Daqing. My lord inherited the ambitions of Daqing's ancestors and promoted the C-class military clans to the B-class military clans, using the land of three counties to open ten counties in the territory. It is a great achievement. Yan."
"With such great achievements, an era name should be set to highlight the merits of the lord. I think the word Xuantong is very beautiful. I request that this year be the first year of Xuantong in my Daqing Dynasty!"
"In this case, my lord, you can honor Lord Qinghuang as Lord Xuantong."
"Xuantong, Xuantong!" Qingzhu liked these two words very much.
It simply spoke to his heart.
"Okay! Zhongda is really insightful! I will change my name to Lord Xuantong at your request, and this year will be the first year of Xuantong!"
Jiang Yao solemnly said: "My lord, I am aware of your elegant words and follow your advice like a stream. I, the Qingjiang Mountains, are blessed."
The next day, Jiang Yao entered the palace again. After a long discussion between the monarch and his ministers, Jiang Yao left the palace with his staff.
The newly refined Xiangyin has been obtained.
Jiang Yao hung the seal around his neck to let those who saw him know that he had officially worshiped and received the seal.
"Prime Minister..."
"Prime Minister..."
When the servants and maids of the Jun's Mansion saw the ginger medicine with the seal hanging on it, they all stopped and saluted.
The title of Prime Minister is very new to them. But the order has been issued for several days, so of course they understand the importance of Prime Minister.
Immediately afterwards, a royal order flew out of the palace: "...change your title to Lord Xuantong, and regard this year as the first year of Xuantong! I appreciate this!"
