The official system of the Great Qin Empire had a total of eighteen levels, ranging from the ninth rank to the first rank. There were three divisions at the top: Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao. There were also three orphans: Young Master, Young Master, and Shaobao.
It's just that whether it is the third division or the third orphan, they basically have no real power. They are honorary titles, which are equivalent to being an official at the highest level.
In addition, in order to control the power of the royal ministers, the Great Qin court had not granted the title of Three Masters and Three Gus for more than two hundred years.
Therefore, for now, being a first-grade official, being admitted to the cabinet, and being conferred the special honorary rank of Doctor is already the highest honor for a highly respected minister.
Ordinary officials, even those who came from the imperial examination, started out as the magistrate of a county, with the lowest rank being seven grades. However, the Qin Empire was vast and had a large number of officials.
Even if you start from the seventh rank and reach the first rank of official residence, there are still thirteen steps. Most people can reach the fourth rank in their lifetime and retire from the third rank, which is considered rare.
This is still a situation where one has a reputation in the imperial examination, and the promotion route is much better than ordinary people who are recommended and recommended to become officials in the court.
Wherever there is a first-class official, not to mention the family, or even the province where his hometown is located, it is a matter of honor.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the ancestors are honored.
Look at the few bachelors in the cabinet today, including Zhao Xuanji. Which one of them has not spent his whole life in officialdom and politics, relying on ability, luck, and talent to fight his way out of countless enemies and bloodshed?
But as soon as he became an official, he was directly admitted to the cabinet and held a first-class official position. This kind of favor can be said to be unprecedented in the past hundred years.
But looking at that person, everyone's little thoughts that were turbulent in their hearts were suppressed.
It is true that such honor and favor has not been seen for a hundred years, but in the past hundred years, after a Dantai Mirror has appeared, is there another person?
Thinking this way, everyone felt a lot more balanced.
After all, there is only one Tantai Mirror in the world.
"My lord, please look at the Tantai mirror and thank Heaven for your kindness!"
In the silence, Tantai Jingzhi raised his hands above his head, and then fell to the ground.
Calling himself a minister represented Tantai Jing's official appointment as an official, and also represented Li Chen's first successful placement in the imperial cabinet.
From the beginning, he had no room to interfere in the government affairs, but now, he already has his own people in the cabinet, and Li Chen feels satisfied.
If this progress continues, it will only be a matter of time before Zhao Xuanji is overthrown.
After receiving the Tantai Mirror, Li Chen knew what he wanted to see, so he did not take him directly to the East Palace, but pulled him towards the relatively remote Nancheng direction.
On the prince's carriage, Li Chen said to Dantai Jingzhi: "I have ordered someone to prepare a house for you in the capital, right next to the Hubei Sea in the capital, although it is not as vast as the Weihaiwei side.
It is vast, but it is more peaceful and peaceful. If it comes to the transition between spring and summer, the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers will be so beautiful, which is the best match for a detached person like Mr. "
Li Chen is so considerate, so Tantai Jingzhi naturally has to show his kindness.
He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Your Highness. Your Highness has given such thorough consideration, and I feel ashamed to receive it."
How can you be ashamed? You are the big target that I have hired to deal with Zhao Xuanji.
Li Chen was about to say a few nice words when he heard the shouts of a crowd coming from outside the carriage.
"Mr. Mirror!"
"Mr. Mirror, come out and let us take a look!"
"That's right, Mr. Mirror, you are a living saint in our hearts!"
