Chapter 1008 Establishment of the Ministry of State Affairs
The cold wind blows, and the moon shines on the figures.
Inside the Manna Hall.
Qin Huaidao told several ministers the information he had learned from Lu Guan's interrogation.
The first is the address where the rebels are entrenched this time.
Because it was not on their route to attack Chang'an, and after taking Li Tai, most of the places surrendered, and the Han Dynasty did not have time to investigate the unsolved risks, so this place was missed.
The leader, Li Da, was a distant relative of Li Tang. He was at the end of his bloodline. He was artificially hidden from the world and was not given a title. He was one of the secret hands left behind by Li Tai.
Originally there were only 5,000 fine cavalry stationed here, and they usually showed themselves as bandits. After entrenching themselves in the mountains, they gradually received stragglers, and gradually grew to 30,000 horses.
The order Li Tai gave them was to destroy the Industrial City.
As for the rest, Lu Guan didn't know much about it because he was not a participant in the whole plan. It was just that Li Da once revealed some information to him when he was drunk.
That is, Li Tai divided his troops across the country and hid the few distant relatives of the Li family anonymously on major state roads so that they could rise up and counterattack the Han Dynasty someday.
After the news was finished, all the ministers looked solemn.
Qin Huaidao glanced at everyone with a serious expression: "Everyone, in your opinion, how should we investigate this matter?"
Fang Xuanling shook his head and sighed: "If it is really hidden from the world, I'm afraid it will be difficult to detect. The world is so big, as long as the other party has no objection, the Han Dynasty is powerful and has blessings in all directions, how can it not tolerate the other party?"
Fang Xuanling's strategy was to boil a frog in warm water. As long as the opponent did not resist, he could ignore it. The Han Dynasty was getting stronger and stronger, and supplemented by new policies at all levels, the relationship between Chang'an and the local area became closer. By then, there would be no way to fight back. The descendants of the Li family were scattered all over the country.
Naturally, they have become Han people, and there is no need to check again.
Li Jing did not approve of this strategy.
He believed that anyone with treason should get to the bottom of it. Since ancient times, imperial power has not been limited to counties. Once the other party is allowed to control the situation, recruit troops secretly, and the Han Dynasty is in turmoil, the people of the world will suffer.
But how to find out, no one can figure it out.
If we go step by step and peel off the cocoons, we don't know when we will be able to completely complete the investigation.
Another headache.
Qin Huaidao thought about it and came up with a perfect plan.
He said in a deep voice: "Since you, my dear friends, don't have a perfect solution, I have an idea. Please listen to me."
Several important ministers looked sideways, with surprise flashing in their eyes.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty would come up with a perfect plan in such a short period of time. He is indeed their good nephew and good brother.
Fang Xuanling bowed to Qin Huai and said, "Your Majesty, if you have any good ideas, it's okay to say so."
Qin Huaidao nodded and replied: "There are all uncles and brothers in the palace. After all, this matter requires everyone's concerted efforts. Please listen to me."
"I want to travel all the state roads and patrol the world to detect hostile rebels. What do you think?"
In just a few words, everyone understood the profound meaning.
Patrolling the world is not only an act to take care of the people, but also to force rebellion. Just imagine that these rebels are hiding in the dark and gathering momentum, preparing to become bigger and stronger. When the enemy Emperor suddenly comes, do you take action or not?
Take action?
This move is equivalent to conspiracy.
If Your Majesty brings fewer troops and horses to show weakness, will the opponent take action or not?
If soldiers and horses are sent to pretend to be rebels to suddenly attack oneself, and the local rebels mistakenly think that it is one of their own people, will they support it or not?
As long as you patrol the world, you don't need to detect the rebels, you just need to find a way to get the rebels to come to your door, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop. By then, the seas, rivers and rivers will be clear, and the world will be unified.
There's just one problem.
"This is not possible. How can we ensure His Majesty's safety? If something happens, wouldn't the Han Dynasty fall into chaos again? The people have only had a few days to live in peace, and we can't afford to be in chaos again." Wei Zheng immediately spoke out to refute the idea of such chaos.
Qin Huaidao explained: "That's not the case. The world belongs to the people of the world. If it cannot function normally without me, it will be my dereliction of duty."
"Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, and Xue Rengui, listen to the order. I order the five of you to form the Ministry of State. You have the same power as me. You will conduct state affairs in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty. You have the power to appoint and remove officials, the power to hold court meetings, and the deployment of the army.
The Ministry of State has one-vote veto power, and as long as five people pass it, it can veto all the resolutions I make."
"The Representative Ministry of State Affairs is established as a subordinate organization of the Ministry of State Affairs. Representatives are selected from various states to go to Chang'an for state consultation. Each representative of the Ministry of State Affairs has a term of three years. He has the right to participate in any state affairs, the right to vote, and the right to refute motions. Any representative of the State Affairs Department shall
If the Ministry proposes a proposal with more than one-fifth of the votes cast, a vote may be initiated, and if more than one-half of the votes are cast, the proposal may be rejected, even if it is a proposal from me or the Ministry of State!”
"I want both officials and ordinary people to participate in and decide state affairs. The people of the world will be governed by the people of the world. Even without my presence, the Han Dynasty can operate normally."
"Do you understand?"
All the ministers below were stunned.
They had already seen Qin Huaidao's outrageous operations. Even so, the establishment of the Ministry of State and the representation of the Ministry of State were too important, which made them worried.
Not to mention that the Ministry of State is led by five people, and the one who represents the Ministry of State to select people's representatives with no official positions and no conflicts of interest to join the discussion is extremely risky no matter how you listen.
Fang Xuanling is indeed a senior official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he is keenly aware of the dangers of this system.
That is penetration.
Since ancient times, there has always been party struggle between the DPRK and China. The essence of party struggle is not the infiltration of forces. If you control the Ministry of Personnel, I will control the Ministry of Household Affairs. If you infiltrate the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry will naturally be included in my pocket. Party struggles at all levels are common.
That's true.
If the Ministry of Representatives for State Affairs is established, everyone will naturally deploy their own people. The situation will then be ugly and state affairs can only be reduced to party disputes.
Of course there is a solution for Qin Huaidao.
"This matter is simple. As long as you become a state representative, you must not own any family property or have any background. During the three years of serving as a representative of the Ministry of State, you must live in a specific address of the Ministry of State. Except for various state affairs information, you must not have any contact with the outside world.
, until the three-year term has passed, a wealth investigation will be conducted, and anyone with a sudden increase in wealth will be executed."
"In this way, such problems can be solved to the greatest extent."
What Qin Huaidao said was a solution to the greatest extent, not a complete solution.
After all, even if this kind of thing was placed in the modern era before he traveled back, there were very few cases that could resolve this contradiction. As long as he ensured that the position of most people was neutral, what if a few people sneaked in?
These people who are the state representatives of Chengguo may have to lose their freedom for three years. There is nothing we can do about it. The heavier the burden on their shoulders, the greater the responsibility.
Under Qin Huaidao's firm will, the five of them finally reluctantly agreed. As for Fang Yiai, Cheng Chumo, Luo Zhang and Wang Shengzhi, he had to take them with him. With these reliable brothers, he could safely implement his plan.
