Chapter 235 All Enemies
Chapter 235 All Enemies
Like many ancient countries, Daqing established a central administrative agency with a total of six departments.
They are 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 with clear responsibilities and division of labor.
Responsibilities of the Ministry of Personnel: To be in charge of the appointment, removal, inspection, promotion, demotion, and transfer of officials throughout the country.
The highest official: the Minister of Personnel, also known as the "Tianguan".
Equivalent to modern times: Organization Department and Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.
Responsibilities of the Ministry of Revenue: In charge of household registration and finance, including land, household registration, taxes, official salaries and all financial matters.
The highest official: the Minister of Revenue, also known as the Minister of Land and the Prime Minister of Finance.
Equivalent to modern times: Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.
Responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites: To be in charge of the five ceremonies: auspicious, auspicious, military, guest, and ominous; to manage the nation's education affairs and the imperial examinations; and also to be involved in vassal states and diplomacy.
The highest official: Minister of Rites.
Equivalent to the modern ones: Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Culture, and Central Propaganda Department.
Responsibilities of the Ministry of War: In charge of military officers, military records, military equipment, and military orders.
The highest officer: the Minister of War, also known as "Benbing".

The Ministry of Justice is responsible for reviewing the national criminal penalties and criminal names; reviewing the court laws, reviewing cases sent to the Ministry of Justice from all over the country, and hearing death penalty cases at the "waiting for execution" level together with the Nine Ministers. In addition, it is directly responsible for hearing cases above the waiting for execution level in the capital area.
The highest official: Minister of Justice.
Equivalent to modern times: Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Justice, Supreme People's Court, and Supreme People's Procuratorate.
Responsibilities of the Ministry of Works: In charge of construction engineering matters, responsible for various projects of the court, assessment of craftsmen, military farming, water conservancy, etc.
The highest official: the Minister of Works, also known as the Winter Official.
Equivalent to modern times: Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Natural Resources, and Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.
The Six Ministries of Daqing, as an important part of the central administrative agency, are directly under the jurisdiction of Emperor Qing to ensure the implementation of state policies and the orderly management of various affairs.
So far, none of the six ministries has been under the jurisdiction and dispatch of the prince.
Even the eldest and second princes, who had always been taught by the emperor himself, had never openly interfered in the affairs of the six ministries, let alone the fourth prince who had just returned from studying abroad and had not yet established himself.
Let the Fourth Prince take over the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, saying that he is in charge of grain affairs. But once he really takes charge, will other matters still be separated?
Isn't it equivalent to handing over two parts to the Fourth Prince?
Censor Li’s proposal was nothing short of shocking.
But that's the character of Censor Li. He always doesn't care about anything and says whatever he wants. He has a stubborn character.
Everyone has become accustomed to it.
What was shocking was Minister Lin. He actually seconded the proposal and even found himself an extra superior. He was simply out of his mind.
It can be said that as an outsider, Censor Li has a more objective perspective on things.
What is Minister Lin? Is he clearly taking sides?
Crazy, crazy...
Minister Lin: You know nothing... I'm just taking the initiative!
In fact, it is also a team...
Almost everyone present was stunned. Looking at the two old men with straight backs in the hall, they had only one thought in their minds.
How dare they?
Putting aside this proposal, let’s not talk about whether the other two princes in the court and the people in their respective camps would agree to it.
Just take Emperor Qing, the one who has sat on the throne since ancient times, he doesn't want anyone to covet his power and position, not even his own son.
I can leave it to you after I die, but before I die, you want to inherit the family business. You are the opposite of Tiangang!
This is simply pulling hair out of a tiger's mouth.
As excellent subjects, how could they allow things to develop in an uncontrollable way?
Almost immediately, several people stood up.
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has just returned from his studies and has not yet officially come into contact with the affairs of the court. It would be better for him to get familiar with the situation for a while." This is the more conservative and euphemistic view.
Food-related matters cannot be delayed. The Fourth Prince needs to be familiar with the affairs of the court, so of course, this urgent matter needs to be handled by someone else...
“Your Majesty, the imperial envoy leading the Yuncheng team is Prince Xie. The Fourth Prince rushed to Yuncheng after the palace examination in the capital was over. Yuncheng was already stable at that time.
Saying that the affairs of Yuncheng are under the jurisdiction of His Highness the Fourth Prince is too far-fetched an excuse.
Could it be that Lord Li and Lord Lin have some selfish motives? They want to take this opportunity to curry favor with His Highness?"
This is a sharp and crazy person. He bit randomly and didn't even notice that Emperor Qing's face turned black. But even if he noticed, he would definitely think it had nothing to do with him.
After all, he was very smart. He did not clearly stand on the side of the prince, but objectively and realistically stated his own views, which were also obvious to everyone...
There were also those who took the opportunity to recommend their favorite candidates, "Your Majesty, food is the primary need of the people, and the issue of grain must be taken seriously. The two ministries do need a person of status and ability to lead them.
I believe that it would be more appropriate to entrust this matter to His Highness, who has been with His Majesty in handling government affairs for many years and is qualified in both status and ability.
I recommend His Highness!"
This is also smart. He did not praise one or the other, but only talked about the solution that he thought was right.
But he didn't expect that the development of things would suddenly become uncontrollable.
He obviously didn't say anything he shouldn't have said.
"My lord, I second the proposal."
"Your Majesty, I second the motion..."
……
Qi Yunting had many supporters, and they all knelt on the ground.
He should have been happy. He should have let his father know his abilities and make him realize that it was time to give him a chance to train.
However, looking at the huge group of people kneeling in the field, he couldn't laugh.
Also unable to laugh were the Right Prime Minister Zhou Hongping and the Empress who was sitting on the throne...
The Queen's eyes were filled with anger, and her armor was embedded in her palms. They were all idiots. If one person brought up this kind of thing, and one or two others agreed, it would only be enough. There was no need for so many people.
Isn't this clearly telling Your Majesty that the eldest prince is forming a clique for personal gain, doing bad things in private, and organizing a small force?
The queen was in the palace and was somewhat aware of the movements of her brother and son, but after all, there was a palace wall between them, so she didn't know everything and couldn't even match the people and names.
She had no idea that the people kneeling there were not all her beloved son's people, and even most of them were not his people.
They are all people who take advantage of the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. They are enemies, or people who start the fire with bad intentions.
The purpose is to completely cut off the eldest prince's path to power.
To sum up, it is equivalent to all enemies...
This move is indeed vicious, but it also requires you to jump out first. If you don't jump out and say these high-sounding words, the effect of this move will not be so good.
Sure enough, Emperor Qing had already started stroking his jade necklace, with a sullen face, sliding the necklace back and forth in his palm.
