Chapter 491: Recruiting Historical Officials for the Imperial Court



A few days later, Fengyun finally made changes to the existing Han official positions with the help of the system.

He skipped the original system of three dukes and nine ministers, and directly adopted the system of nine-rank officials and six ministries of the cabinet.

It seems that there are fewer official positions, but in fact there are more subdivided official positions, and more official positions are needed.

This greatly increased the actual power of the six ministers in the cabinet, but only Fengyun, the chief minister of the cabinet, had the greatest power.

Once implemented, his cabinet will have a veto power.

Whether it's six to zero or three to three.

As long as he doesn't agree, there's no point in talking about it.

Of course, any proposal can be reported up the chain of command through the people below and finally to the cabinet for decision.

At the morning court session that day, all the ministers, like in the previous few days, were working but not putting in any effort.

In order to fight against He Lian, everyone remained silent.

He Lian was frowning all the way, Feng Yun didn't move at all, and she didn't want to disturb Feng Yun.

These days, I have been under pressure and fighting with all the ministers.

Since no one is talking, let's just waste time.

Fang Zheng and his mother were sitting, while the ministers were standing.

It was the same this morning. Each minister was like an old monk in meditation, motionless.

Fengyun stood up and said:

"I have already thought of a plan for the composition of the cabinet and would like to report it to Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

One word stirred up a thousand waves. Although everyone remained motionless, their hearts were in turmoil, fearing that he would cut off their official careers.

Everyone listened attentively.

He Lian was overjoyed and quickly ordered:

"My dear Fengyun, please come quickly."

"Yes. I have divided the cabinet into six ministries: the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Commerce. The Ministry of War is responsible for military affairs and all military-related matters. The Ministry of Works is responsible for upgrading, training, and expanding the production capacity of craftsmen. The Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for agriculture and all matters related to agriculture. The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the transfer of officials in the Han Dynasty. The Ministry of Commerce is responsible for all matters related to buying and selling. The Ministry of Rites is responsible for all other trivial matters."

After listening to this, He Lian felt that there was no difference between this and the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, and asked again:

"That doesn't sound special, is there anything else?"

"Empress, I've further subdivided the six ministries. For example, the military department is divided into logistics management, the deployment of commanders, soldier training, the wartime operations department, the wartime staff department, and so on. As for the other departments, I'll go over them with you now."

After saying that, Fengyun directly put the organizational diagram of the six ministries of the entire cabinet on the super large screen in front of the hall.

Let everyone see it clearly at a glance.

At this time, some people were moved, while others were angry.

When the three ministers heard this, their anger reached its peak.

There's no room for three people here.

"Your Majesty, changing the system of three dukes and nine ministers goes against our ancestral system. I oppose it."

"I object."

"I object."

As soon as the three stood up, most of the people behind them also stood up and shouted in opposition.

Fengyun has already thought of a countermeasure. Don’t they just want to go on strike?

Then let them have their wish.

He immediately gave He Lian a reassuring look.

He Lian immediately felt confident.

"Opposition is futile. The Han Dynasty is now terminally ill, and the ancestral system is no longer effective. Strong medicine is needed to cure the disease. Now is the time for change. If the ancestors are to blame, just blame me, He Lian."

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, then we can only take our leave."

After saying this, the three of them left the hall with everyone without looking back.

This made the ministers who stayed behind look at each other in bewilderment.

They don't know whether to go or not.

These people are the ones who did not object a few days ago, but unfortunately there are not many of them.

Fengyun didn't feel too disappointed when he saw that they didn't leave. He asked:

"Why don't you leave?"

"Prime Minister, they are them, and we are us. We believe that the system you have designed is sound and can lead our Han Dynasty back to prosperity."

"Okay, what are your names? What are your official positions?"

"Sir, my name is Xun Yu, the palace guard of Luoyang."

"Sir, my name is..."

“…”

When Feng Yun heard that it was Xun Yu, he ignored the others.

After everyone finished speaking, Fengyun said:

"Very good. Your name is Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo, and you're from Yingchuan, right?"

"Yes, sir."

Now Fengyun can find the master.

He is the top civil official in the Three Kingdoms period, and others are not important.

"Hahaha, that's great. Why are you still in the court? I thought you left."

"I originally wanted to leave, but now I feel that the big man has improved, so I stayed to see how things are going."

"Okay, okay, since you're staying, it can be said that it's my luck. I hope you can come and help me."

"Obedience is worse than respect. What can the Prime Minister do for me?"

Xun Yu bowed and said calmly.

But Fengyun's next words made Xun Yu lose his composure.

"There's a place for you in my six departments."

"ah!!!"

These words petrified Xun Yu on the spot.

"Sir, you are not kidding me, are you? I have no qualifications and no political achievements. What qualifications do I have to be qualified for this position?"

Fengyun smiled and said:

"If I say you can do it, you can do it. I have confidence in you."

"oh."

What else could Xun Yu say?

He has been in a state of confusion.

The others saw that Xun Yu, who had the lowest official position, was directly promoted to the cabinet, so what about them?

It's unimaginable.

So he asked:

"Sir, what about us?"

Fengyun looked at them and said:

"You guys follow Xun Yu first and see what he arranges."

"oh."

Seeing that the prime minister was too lazy to pay attention to them, the few of them wisely followed Xun Yu.

Seeing Xun Yu still looking stupid, Feng Yun said with a smile:

"What's wrong? Do you feel like you're dreaming now?"

"Ah... yes. I dread to think. My Lord, what about the other five?"

Fengyun shook his head and said:

"I'm still thinking about it. The court is full of old guys now. There aren't many people who can be used. Let's wait and see. Now that they're all gone, let's see tomorrow."

"yes."

To Fengyun, Xun Yu was nothing now. He could only agree obediently.

Fengyun was also considering who else was available in the court.

Although he didn't like Wang Yun, he was still a good choice for doing things related to conspiracy and intrigue because of his talents.

But in Fengyun's view, those three officials were completely useless except for their seniority.

He will definitely not appoint him.

As for whether the imperial court would reserve separate positions for them to retire, Fengyun didn't care.

At this time Feng Yun suddenly asked Xun Yu:

"Do you have any suggestions among these people? I need someone with the courage and vigor to rebuild the Han Dynasty, as well as the ability to be superior to others. As for whether or not he is from a powerful family, that is irrelevant."

"I..."
