Chapter 1381 Forming a cabinet
Datang Zhengdan and Winter Solstice have Golden Week holidays, each with a seven-day holiday.
Zhengdan has a seven-day holiday, which is the first day of the new year, and three days before and after. However, for a minister like Qin Lang, the seven-day holiday of Zhengdan is not more leisurely than usual, and he cannot stay at home for a family reunion on the 30th night, and has to go to the palace to participate in the palace banquet, at least ten hours, and the high-ranking officials and relatives of the emperor will accompany the emperor Watch the year old, eat, drink and watch cultural performances.
On the first day of junior high school, I had to get up early to attend the Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting, which took another whole day.
Finally reached the second year of junior high school, and in the end, Qin Lang had to go to the palace to discuss military affairs.
In the afternoon, I finally went home from get off work early, and finally had a good New Year’s dinner with my family. However, there was an endless stream of guests who came to visit for New Year’s greetings.
For several days in a row, Qin Lang didn't get much rest.
Early in the morning of the third day of junior high school, although there is no morning court, there will be a political affairs hall meeting.
Still have to get up early.
Huangcheng, Zhongshu introspection, Dutang.
When Qin Lang, Pingzhang Army State Affairs Officer, stepped into the Political Affairs Hall, the hall was already full of economics.
Yesterday, the Hanlin Academy locked the courtyard, and then several internal regulations were issued. The edict of Baima worshiping the Prime Minister drafted by Cui Dunli, a bachelor Chengzhi, made a major adjustment to the governors of the East and West.
Luoyang is well-informed. As soon as the Baima edict is announced here, Luoyang City is already full. Everyone knows that this time the list of governors of the two prefectures was handed over to the emperor by the grand master Qin Lang, and the emperor fully accepted it. According to the list, let the Hanlin scholars Chengzhi plans to worship the prime minister.
This is the pavilion of Qin Lang's group.
Luoyang Shimin was surprised, but took it for granted.
Today's Grand Master Qin Lang, is he an ordinary person? The elders of the four dynasties, the prime ministers of the three dynasties.
Every family that received the Baima imperial edict yesterday was also very happy, and they were eager to announce it all over Luoyang. Many newspapers and periodicals in Luoyang published the exception early this morning.
After all, Qin Lang still refused the emperor's many conferments, and finally the emperor compromised, Xu Qinlang was appointed as Taishi, Pingzhangjun State Assistant, and many other titles, such as the inspector of the school, the second minister of Zhizhongshu, the inspector of the school, the concurrent None of the academicians of the Hanlin Academy knew the edicts, and the school inspectors left and right camps and horses.
For Qin Lang, the state title of the Pingzhang Army is actually enough in itself. As for the other titles, they are just icing on the cake, and they are not even good things.
Easy to be jealous.
"Pingzhang!"
"Teacher!"
"Saburo!"
Everyone in the hall stood up to greet each other, and Qin Lang nodded with various names.
In addition to the seven prime ministers of Zhengshitang including him, there are also four ministers under Zhongshu's sect, six Zhongshu Sheren, and six disciples of Zhongshu in the hall today.
In addition, all the post-officials of the five rooms of the Zhengshitang also participated in the meeting. The cardinals, officials, and soldiers had three post-officials in each room. They were originally officials. The status of Wufang was also stable, and its authority was enhanced. Therefore, scholars were later used as the post-officials of the hall, and their ranks were promoted.
In the five chambers, headed by the post-officials of the senior hall of the cardinal's office, they are called the elders of the cabinet, and handle the daily chores of the political affairs hall.
This official position is actually equivalent to being the director of the office of the political affairs hall and the chief of the cardinal department.
Even though the rank of the empress dowager was not high, he was only at the seventh rank, and the elder cardinal was only at the sixth rank.
However, nowadays, the official behind the hall is called a noble official, which is both clean and expensive. It is the first choice of scholars like the secretary supervisor, the secretary of Hongwenguan, the author, and the school secretary, and even clearer than these. want. To be able to be a post-official official, at least the county magistrate should be released to the outside world, and even with the qualifications of a post-official official, the county magistrate is only a transitional one.
If the place performs well, there will be a great opportunity to be in important positions such as Zhongshu Sheren, Menxia Geshizhong, and Yushi in the future.
For example, the new Zhongshu Ling sitting in the hall right now is Laiji, who was born as the number one scholar, started as a secretary, and worked as a cardinal in the Zhengshitang.
His brother, Lai Heng, also worked as a privy secretary, and now he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
There is also Pei Xingjian, who also served as an official in the hall, and is now in the hall. He is Shangshu Zuopushe.
The new servant, Shangguanyi, also worked as an official in the Zhengshitang. He was a bachelor of the Imperial Academy before, and now he is a servant.
The basic career paths of these people are Jinshi in the imperial examination or even the number one scholar, Tanhua, etc., then secretary Lang, Zhuo Lang, etc. who started as secretary supervisors, and then entered the political affairs hall as a post-official official, and then were released outside, and then entered the lower ranks. He became a member of Zhongshushe in the province, then served in a ministry temple, and then served outside, and then became a central boss.
At this time, Li Shouzhen, the old man in the back cabinet with a dignified political affairs, was a little nervous, but more excited. At this time, his father Li Kai and grandfather Li Keshi's teachings from last night were still in his mind.
Qin Taishi can appreciate him because of his father Li Kai and Li Demo. In the ninth year of Wude, when Qin Lang became the county captain of Chang'an, his father was Chang'an Facao who joined the army. At that time, he met Qin Lang. The script was originally only the fifth son of Mr. Li Ke.
But because of this opportunity, his official career has always been good. At the end of Zhenguan, he was promoted to Danyang County Duke and General Zuo Yulin.
It was only later that Changsun Wuji fell from power, and Master Li Ke and his son were also implicated, because Li Keshi, as Li Jing's third younger brother, married the cousin of Empress Changsun, so the relationship between Li Keshi's family and Changsun Wuji was relatively close earlier. Recently, even though Li Jing had basically withdrawn from the imperial court in Zhenguan, Li Keshi still had a prosperous official career. Governor.
Being implicated by the eldest grandson, Li Keshi's family also fell silent. Fortunately, with Qin Lang's help, the involvement was not too deep.
After several years of silence, now that Qin Lang is back, Li Kai and Li Demo, as Qin Lang's old partner, will naturally come back.
The eighty-four-year-old Li Keshi, added the rank of general of the town army, and then paid homage to the governor of Youzhou and the governor of Youzhou. His eldest son, Li Jia Li Dashan, was awarded the title of governor of Xiazhou. The second son, Li Dahui, was awarded the governor of Ganzhou, and the fourth son, Li Daqi, was granted the title of Duke of Yichun County, and was appointed the governor of Zhenbei Prefecture and the envoy of the Zhenbei Army.
Li Demo was granted the title of General Zuo Yulin, Duke of Danyang County.
Li Shouzhen also became the cardinal of the Zhengshitang and became the elder of the cabinet.
There are four Li Jing brothers, on the contrary, Li Keshi's room is the most powerful now.
Li Shouzhen saw that Qin Lang had already greeted everyone and sat down, so he got up and poured Qin Lang a cup of tea first.
"Teacher, is the discussion starting?"
"Well, Mr. Li Ge, what do you want to discuss today?"
As an elder of the pavilion, although Li Shouzhen is only below the sixth rank, he is also Qin Lang's chief secretary. In name, Qin Lang is now in charge of state affairs in the Pingzhang Army, so he is responsible for convening and presiding over the meetings of the political affairs hall. And make meeting minutes, summaries, etc.
But in fact, these things were done by the elder Tanghouge, but Qin Lang signed his name in the end.
When a new prime minister team is established, three fires must be lit first.
Li Shouzhen opened his notepad, "Li Pingzhang proposed that the transfer department and the third department should be dismissed, and the powers should still belong to the ministries."
"anything else?"
"Xu Pingzhang proposed to dismiss the Privy Council, and all major civil and military affairs will come out of Zhongshu's sect."
Qin Lang smiled, holding a teacup in his hand.
This teacup is his own. Whether it is the prime minister, the assistant minister, the Zhongshusheren, the subordinates, and the Houlang in the political affairs hall, they all bring their own cups. There are all kinds of cups, but they are obviously not ordinary. , Zisha, blue and white porcelain, silver, glass, and crystal.
Qin Lang's is a purple sand teacup, which is made of black tea. Because I feel a little tired recently, I also added Changbai ginseng, which is a tribute to the black tea, to the black tea.
Tea is produced in Luzon itself.
In fact, in terms of geographical and climatic conditions, the conditions for growing tea in Luzon are not good, but it is not impossible to grow tea. So after Qin Lang went to Luzon, he planted sugar cane, cotton, and abaca while also planting tea, pepper, etc. .
After more than 20 years of cultivation and cultivation, although the quality of Luzon black tea is not as good as that of Wuyishan high-end black tea in the Central Plains, the quality is still above average. It is mainly exported to foreign trade. In fact, it is still good, but the quantity is still relatively weak.
Propelled by Qin Lang’s delivery, even Luzon black tea can not only satisfy self-sufficiency in tea, but also export black tea to the Central Plains, seizing some mid-end black tea markets.
Drinking Lusong black tea with Changbai ginseng, Qin Lang was not much surprised by these two issues, because Li Shouzhen was single-handedly promoted, so Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu reported their issues to Secretary-General Li Shouzhen in advance Afterwards, Li Shouzhen informed him in advance.
Xu Jingzong has been the prime minister for thirty years, and Li Yifu was promoted by Qin Lang when Qin Lang left, and he was promoted by Qin Lang to be a member of Zhongshusheren. The prime minister, and even became the prime minister for a time.
But this time when Qin Lang formed a cabinet, Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong's three high-ranking officials were all taken over by Qin Lang, and he was only appointed as Prime Minister with the title of Tong Ping Zhangshi in the Zhengshitang. After all, the post of chief executive has some differences in power.
But whether it is Xu Jingzong or Li Yifu, no one will be dissatisfied with Qin Lang's arrangement, after all, he is still the prime minister.
The topics raised by the two of them were also very fierce, and they went directly to the Privy Council and Jixiang established by Li Yin. Afterwards, Zhao immediately gave up and withdrew.
But the Privy Council, the Imperial Academy and the Transit Department did not move.
First, both the Transshipment Department and the Hanlin Academy were established by the novice ancestor Li Shimin, although the current Transshipment Department has encroached on many powers of the prime minister.
As for the Privy Council, it was more involved in military power and politics, so he didn't move lightly.
Xu Li and Xu Li attacked the Privy Council and the Transshipment Department as soon as they came up, with the intention of regaining the power of the prime minister of the Zhengshitang, which was weakened by the previous emperor.
The return of military power and financial power to the prime minister of the political affairs hall is a good thing for the entire political affairs hall, and it should be a good thing for Qin Lang, the prime minister who has now resigned as the inspector, privy envoy and transit envoy.
As long as this matter is done, even if Qin Lang does not serve as Minister of State, Qin Lang is still a Minister of State.
