Transmigrating to Great Qin, Zhao Qingrui found herself with land and money at home, and a cheat system. To avoid becoming cannon fodder in chaotic times, she brought her father to recruit soldiers...
"Father, what do you think of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers system of the Qin Dynasty?" Zhao Qingrui looked at his father.
"This is something I have thought about for a long time. It is more detailed than the previous management. Although it is not as good as those recorded in history books, it is still good." Ying Zheng pondered for a while, wondering what his daughter wanted to do.
"Well, my father was a pioneer of various systems in later generations, but the system of Three Dukes and Nine Ministers still did not have detailed enough allocations of officials and institutions." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"Oh? What do you want to do?" Zhao Qingrui had said these words before. He also realized the problems within the Qin Dynasty, but changing the institutions in the court was not a trivial matter.
"I want to abolish the prime minister system and establish a cabinet. The cabinet will be divided into the chief minister and the second minister to assist the king in handling various affairs of the court. The cabinet will be independent of various departments in the court." Zhao Qingrui expressed his ideas.
Dad has read so many books during this period, he should have some understanding of the cabinet system.
"The cabinet has too much power. Have you thought about how to control them?" Ying Zheng was not surprised. The cabinet system did have various advantages, but it was not without drawbacks.
The cabinet has too much power. If it were to undermine the emperor, the consequences would be disastrous.
"I naturally understand what my father is worried about, but the cabinet only needs to be responsible for screening documents from the court. As long as we strike a good balance, there is no need to worry about problems." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
"It seems that you have mastered what I taught you." Ying Zheng said with satisfaction.
If you want to sit firmly on the throne, balancing the forces in the court is the most important thing.
"We can't reform the system right now. The court has just stabilized. I still suggest you wait until the next five-year plan to make any changes. There are too many things to do in the court." Ying Zheng said after thinking for a while.
"I know what's going on. You don't have to worry." Zhao Qingrui nodded, agreeing with his father's words. The court really cannot be in turmoil.
"I'm glad you know it. I feel relieved." Ying Zheng said with emotion.
The dinner was very sumptuous and the father and daughter were very satisfied.
Ying Zheng was handed a handkerchief by the palace maid and wiped his mouth. "The food here is really delicious. It tastes better than the one made by the Imperial Household Official."
"My father rules the world, yet he still cares about my little food." Zhao Qingrui said with disdain.
"Of course, yours is the best." Ying Zheng said with a smile, not caring about his daughter's dislike. His daughter just said it, but when she actually saw something good, she thought of him first.
"This is still the most leisurely time. It would be great if it could be like this every day." Leaning on the recliner, Zhao Qingrui felt his bones were soft.
"You are useless. I am above everyone else, don't you want such power?" Ying Zheng said with disdain.
"You only talk about the advantages of being an emperor, and never tell me how tiring it is." Zhao Qingrui rolled her eyes. Her father was really something. He always wanted to instill in her the idea of becoming an emperor.
"Ahem, this is necessary and cannot be avoided." Ying Zheng was helpless. The situation is much better now. When he first ascended the throne and became the First Emperor, there were more things to do. This girl now has it much easier than him.
The next morning, after the court meeting ended, Ying Zheng and Zhao Qingrui went to see those who had passed the exam.
Seeing these people, we selected more than 200 people to come in this time.
Feng Jie followed behind the two men and looked at these people. He had already reported to His Majesty where they would be arranged.
Wei Xi stood in front of everyone. Zhao Qingrui glanced at him and then looked away.
Zhao Qingrui's eyes fell on Lu Zhi. There were only eight women in the top fifty, and Lu Zhi had performed the best.
When Lu Zhi saw Zhao Qingrui, she was stunned. It was her.
The younger sister of the girl who had rescued her, it turned out that they were actually the daughter of His Majesty, and she was also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness." Seeing Zhao Qingrui walking in front of her, Lu Zhi hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"No need to be so polite. The Zhanshi Mansion is still short of a servant. Would you like to join the Zhanshi Mansion?" Zhao Qingrui said with a smile, extending an olive branch to Lu Zhi.
She had already handed over the position of Chancellor to Wang Xian, and the position of Chancellor was still vacant. However, since Lu Zhi had just passed the exam and was admitted, it would not be appropriate to arrange for her to have a position that was too high, otherwise there would be no room for promotion in the future.
Zhao Qingrui extended an olive branch to Zhao Qingrui, which made everyone look sideways. They didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would fall in love with Lu Zhi.
Even Wei Xi couldn't help but look at Lu Zhi a few more times. He was very clear about the prince's status, and even he couldn't help but envy being favored by the prince.
There are still many vacancies in the Zhanshi Mansion. Zhao Qingrui's position is stable. Following her, you will definitely be successful in the future.
"Your Highness, I am willing." Lu Zhi was excited and agreed quickly.
In the past two years, she has been working to earn money and supporting Liu Fei at the same time.
She also divorced Liu Ji, and sent Liu Fei directly back to Pei County and left him to Liu Ji's parents.
She has now settled down alone in Xianyang. After learning about the official assessment, she felt an infinite desire in her heart. She wanted to become a superior person, and the opportunity was the official selection assessment.
From then on, whenever she earned money, she would go to Huiwen Bookstore to buy books and test questions for relevant exams.
After work, she basically devotes all her time to studying.
This time she was selected and ranked among the top. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.
Embarking on a career in politics was a path she had never thought of before.
The girl in front of her was not even as old as her, but Lu Zhi knew all of her achievements and admired her very much.
Women, live like this.
"Very good, just stay with me." Zhao Qingrui said with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Lu Zhi knelt down quickly. It was Zhao Qingrui who changed her life, and she was very grateful to her.
"Why don't you pick a few more? These people are not bad." Ying Zheng looked at his daughter calmly. There were many vacancies in his daughter's Zhanshi Mansion, and he wanted to fill them directly for her.
But he was also afraid that Zhao Qingrui would not be satisfied with the person he chose, so he simply let her choose herself.
"No need, father. These talents should serve the Qin Dynasty. The Eastern Palace has not even been built yet, and I have no place to support them." Zhao Qingrui said helplessly.
"In that case, Mr. Feng, you can arrange the rest of these people." Ying Zheng nodded without forcing him.
Feng Jie held up the booklet and said, "Wei Xi, entered the Imperial Censorate, and served as Assistant Censor. Qi Min, served as Grand Historian. Li Zi, served as..."
Feng Jie read out the arrangements that had been prepared long ago. The first fifty people were assigned to various places in the court, and those outside the fifty were all sent out.
"Do you have any objection to the official arrangement?" Feng Jie said after looking around.
Feng Jie had been in a high position for a long time and had a strong aura. With the First Emperor present, these people became even more restrained.
"Your Majesty, long live the Great Qin."
