After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Qi Wushuang handed over the emperor's funeral arrangements to Qi Taiwei and others. The former commander of the Imperial Guard led the former Imperial Guard to clean and repair the city of Changdu.

His own 30,000 troops were responsible for patrolling, defending, and maintaining public security in Chamdo City.

Before leaving, Qi Wushuang specifically instructed the commander of the Imperial Guard:

Tonight's action was originally a misunderstanding. He was asked to count the casualties of the Imperial Guards and the palace eunuchs, and the court would distribute the pensions.

With Qi Wushuang's words, the commander of the Imperial Guard finally felt relieved.

This shows that Qi Wushuang will not settle scores later!

The commander of the Imperial Guard knew his own limitations: he was once the emperor's confidant, and Qi Wushuang would definitely not use him again after he ascended the throne.

But as long as he is not held responsible, he feels lucky to be able to keep his life.

Thinking about the emperor to whom he had been loyal for more than ten years, and comparing him with Qi Wushuang, the commander of the Imperial Guard had to admire Qi Wushuang's broad mind!

No wonder Qi Wushuang could become the God of War. If he had always followed Qi Wushuang, he would have been willing to risk his life for Qi Wushuang!

……

Qi Wushuang brought all the generals above the rank of deputy captain back to Prince Qi's mansion.

These people were all Qi Wushuang's confidants. After everyone sat down in the meeting room, Qi Wushuang said:

"Let's talk about what we should do next."

Nie Youren loved gossip the most, and he couldn't help but be the first to ask:

"Your Majesty, what happened tonight? How did the Emperor die?"

"Wu Wei assassinated the emperor."

Everyone was shocked and their eyes involuntarily looked at Ye Wuwei.

Nie Youren flattered him, "Your Highness is truly amazing. This arrangement is truly a stroke of genius."

"It wasn't arranged by the prince. It was Captain Ye who acted on his own."

The one who answered was Chu Fuchi.

Hearing this, everyone was even more shocked!

Wasn’t it arranged by the prince?

Captain Ye was being too bold. What if he failed? Would it affect the prince's plan?

Nie Youren pleads for Ye Wuwei:

"Your Highness, although Captain Ye acted on his own initiative, he performed a great service tonight and should be rewarded."

“I don’t blame Wu Wei.

When Wu Wei agreed to help me, he put forward a condition: he would not obey my orders completely, and he would make his own decisions.

Everyone else believed it, but Chu Fuchi thought to himself:

Wushuang used to disdain lying, but now he has started to lie for Ye Wuwei!

Seeing that Qi Wushuang had no intention of blaming Ye Wuwei, Nie Youren started gossiping again: "Prince, you will move to the palace after you ascend the throne, right?"

"Yes."

"I'm a general. I don't understand government affairs, but if the prince moves to the palace, I want to be a general of the imperial guard, responsible for protecting the prince's safety."

Others: Nie Youren is as shameless as ever! He's already trying to claim the throne before the prince even ascends the throne.

"I had the same idea. Captain Nie was promoted to the rank of Second Rank Imperial Guard Commander, responsible for the security of Chamdo and the Imperial Palace.

Each general in the army in Chamdo will be promoted two ranks, and each general stationed in Andu and Chudu will be promoted one rank. As for the rewards for the remaining soldiers, you will draft a proposal and give it to the pool."

After hearing Qi Wushuang say this, none of the generals present were unhappy except Ye Wuwei.

Nie Youren was especially happy.

The higher the rank, the harder it is to advance. Last night, he was promoted to the second rank without much effort. Even if he stayed there for the rest of his life, he would be satisfied.

Especially since he was the commander of the Imperial Guard, a position that could only be held by the emperor's most trusted person.

This shows that the prince trusts him and regards him as his confidant!

Qi Wushuang glanced at the dispirited Ye Wuwei and decided to wait until they were done before asking him alone.

Chu Fuchi had been handling Andu government affairs for Qi Wushuang and was familiar with court affairs. He asked:

"How will the officials in the court be accommodated?"

"It's not appropriate to move the officials in the court for the time being. I want to create some new positions and place our people there."

Ye Wuwei, who had been in a bad mood, said, "Your Highness, why don't you take this opportunity of ascending the throne to completely reform the official system."

"How to change?"

The current central official system of the Qi Dynasty is somewhat similar to the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers system, but it is even less democratic than the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers system.

The system of three dukes and nine ministers in a certain dynasty was that the emperor had three dukes under him: the Grand Marshal, the Prime Minister, and the Chief Censor. Under the three dukes, there were nine ministers to assist the three dukes in managing all affairs of the court.

The Grand Marshal was in charge of military affairs, the Prime Minister assisted the emperor in handling state affairs, and the Chief Censor supervised all officials.

There were no six ministries that are well known to everyone, such as the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue.

The official system of the Qi Dynasty did not have six ministries, but three dukes and ten ministers.

But the Three Dukes were the Grand Marshal, the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister, but there was no Grand Censor.

The Grand Marshal was in charge of military affairs, while the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister assisted the emperor in handling government affairs, but they were in charge of different government affairs.

Since there was no Imperial Censor to supervise the officials, the court was actually ruled by the Grand Marshal, the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister.

The reason why the current official system was formed in the Qi Dynasty is inseparable from the fact that the imperial power and the aristocratic families jointly controlled the world in the Qi Dynasty.

For example, General Qi, Grand Tutor Zhuang and Prime Minister Yuwen came from three major families respectively.

The current official selection system of the Qi Dynasty is similar to the recommendation system of a certain dynasty.

Ye Wuwei thought that most of the generals present were from various aristocratic families, so he had no intention of talking to them about the official selection system. He could only talk about the central official system that would not affect the interests of the aristocratic families.

"The position of Prime Minister will be abolished, and a new position of Grand Tutor will be created, with Prime Minister Yuwen's position of Prime Minister changed to Grand Tutor.

The Taifu, Taishi, and Taiwei were all of the first rank, but they were not in charge of specific affairs.

Except for the position of prime minister, all the ten ministers have been abolished, and the cabinet and six ministries have been established.

The cabinet consists of five to seven people, who are involved in the affairs of the cabinet and submit their opinions on how to deal with memorials to the emperor.

Cabinet decision-making is carried out by voting, with the minority obeying the majority, but the chief minister of the cabinet still has the right to vote.

The chief minister of the cabinet is temporarily appointed as the second rank, and can be promoted to the first rank when the time is right.

In addition to the Cabinet, there are six ministries: the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works, each in charge of different affairs.

Ye Wuwei skipped the system of three provinces and six ministries and went directly to the cabinet and six ministries system of a certain dynasty.

Ye Wuyi explained the responsibilities of the six ministries while drawing an official system map on paper.

After hearing what Ye Wuwei said, Chu Fuchi's eyes lit up: "This official system is good!"

It can not only sideline Qi Taiwei and the other two, and break the current monopoly of power, but also will not make the court uneasy.

Qi Wushuang also thought that Ye Wuwei's method was good, but he still didn't understand one thing:

"What does it mean that the Prime Minister has the power to draft bills?"

"The opposite of the right to draft is the right to approve.

The power of drafting is that the chief minister of the cabinet will write the cabinet's opinions in the form of a memorial or proposal and submit it to the emperor, which must be approved by the emperor.

The power of red ink was the emperor's right to approve the cabinet's proposals (i.e., drafts) in red ink."

Qi Wushuang was also a talented person and understood immediately: "So the decision to implement the draft voting system still lies with the emperor?"

“Indeed, although the Prime Minister of the Cabinet may be able to guide the Emperor, he still has to rely on the Emperor’s trust.

In addition to the cabinet and the six ministries I just mentioned, a separate supervisory department should be established to monitor the behavior and principles of all officials.
