Re-establish the prime minister?
Hearing this.
All the officials had complicated expressions on their faces.
Ever since a hundred years ago, the position of Prime Minister of Great Xia had been vacant.
All the affairs of the Prime Minister were handled by the Left and Right Ministers.
Decades ago, the power of the Left and Right Prime Ministers was once again weakened.
This resulted in the situation where the six ministers were the only ones in the Xia court.
Just as everyone was about to ask.
He Shen stood up first and said,"Great Xia has not had a prime minister for a hundred years, and we do need someone to help His Majesty manage the court. We naturally have no objections.”
His words made many people frown.
In their impression, when did He Shen become such a person?
Or rather, what was he plotting?
He Shen said.
Pei Ju, Minister of Revenue, Bao Zheng, Minister of Rites, Yu Qian, Minister of War, and Wang Anshi, Minister of Works, all spoke.
What he said was no different from He Shen.
They all supported Xia Zhong as prime minister.
This surprised the officials outside the Imperial City who had rushed over to meet the Saint.
He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xia Ji again.
If He Shen was the only one who spoke, they would definitely think that He Shen wanted to fight for the position of Prime Minister.
From there, he could obtain greater benefits.
However…
Now, five of the six ministers spoke.
They realized that something was wrong.
In addition to Li Si's imprisonment, they had already noticed that Human Emperor Xia Ji was unusual.
"In that case," Xia Ji's calm voice rang out, and he looked at Cao Changqing.""Cao Changqing."
"Your subject is here." Cao Changqing stepped forward.
Today, he did not wear the official robe that Xia Ji had instructed his men to prepare. Instead, he continued to wear his own green robe.
Perhaps, to Cao Changqing, this green robe had a special meaning to him.
"From today onwards, you are the Prime Minister of Great Xia.”Xia Ji's voice sounded again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cao Changqing nodded respectfully.
At the same time, a trace of Righteousness Qi flashed across his body.
Seeing this, those who wanted to say that Cao Changqing was not qualified enough obediently shut their mouths.
They realized that none of the people Xia Ji had called for could be provoked.
He looked at the silent court.
Xia Ji was quite satisfied.
The actions of the past two days were all reflected today.
If he hadn't resolved the problem in the imperial city with lightning speed, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
Xia Ji didn't have the time to scheme against these officials.
Now that he had the tyrannical strength to suppress him, he would naturally make such a choice.
After subduing the six ministers, the entire court had become Xia Ji's.
"The third thing."
He paused.
"I'm sure you all know what the situation in Great Xia is like now.”
"If I want Xia to return to the peak of the Xia Empire, I need to make a series of reforms.”
"Thus, the current structure of the Imperial Court needs to be changed.”
At this point, Xia Ji looked at the ministers and said,""I wish to establish a cabinet."
"The so-called cabinet is an organization that helps me deal with government affairs. There will be a cabinet chief and eight cabinet ministers. Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?”
These words were not meant to let these people in.
Xia Ji had already chosen Cao Changqing, who held both the position of Prime Minister and Prime Minister.
Since he was summoned by the system, Xia Ji did not have to worry about his loyalty.
Moreover, the establishment of such a cabinet was different from the past.
In the history of the cabinet, the decision-making power was all in the hands of the emperor, and Xia Ji's cabinet was established with Cao Changqing at the center.
He had the power to implement policies on his behalf.
As for the remaining cabinet ministers, although Xia Ji asked the ministers to recommend them, he actually intended to choose them from the people.
The reason for this was because Great Xia's talent drain was too serious.
Although this was a little risky.
However, with Cao Changqing's help, there wouldn't be any problems.
However, when all the officials heard this, they couldn't help but look at the six ministers.
Presumably, although the cabinet was small, it was actually to weaken the power of the six ministers.
This could be seen from Li Si's imprisonment.
Moreover, everyone knew that.
If he wanted to change the current court, he had to take back the power from the six ministers.
He Shen's expression changed slightly but he didn't say anything.
He had long realized that Human Emperor Xia Ji was not simple. Today, a Sword God had appeared out of nowhere.
It made his heart tremble to the extreme.
Not to mention the attitude of the other six ministers.
Perhaps he had already been subdued by Xia Ji.
"As for the position of the Minister of Justice, it will be temporarily taken over by the Minister of Rites, Bao Zheng.”
...........
The court session ended very quickly.
Although this was the first court session, most people were silent.
It wasn't just because of Xia Ji's power.
They had their own weaknesses that Xia Ji could manipulate.
After discussing these major matters, everyone began to report the disasters that had occurred in the areas under their jurisdiction.
Xia Ji, on the other hand, methodically listed out many solutions.
For a time, all the ministers had a new understanding of this Human Emperor.
However…
There was only one thing that had not been decided.
That was the newly established cabinet, except for Cao Changqing, who was both the prime minister and the chief assistant of the cabinet.
Other than the Left and Right Ministers, none of the other cabinet ministers had been decided.
In most people's guesses.
Xia Ji wanted to establish a new organization to take back the power of the six ministers.
It was more like he wanted Cao Changqing to take complete control of the court.
Outside the palace gates.
Many officials walked towards the mansion.
He Shen frowned,"Your Majesty wants to weaken our power, but you don't have to concentrate all the power on Cao Changqing."”
The six ministers were still able to check and balance each other.
If he were to take back his power, it would only be controlled by the Human Emperor.
It was not Xiang Bang.
This was also the reason why Great Xia had no prime minister since a hundred years ago.
This was because the Prime Minister was the head of all officials. If he was loyal, he could naturally be used by the Emperor.
However, if he had second thoughts.
Just like the current Lu Buwei of the Great Qin Dynasty, who controlled the imperial court and caused the imperial power to fall.
"His Majesty has his reasons for making such a decision. Don't underestimate Cao Changqing.”
Pei Ju spoke indifferently and didn't explain further.
Although he was crazy.
But when he was awake, he was meticulous and meticulous.
Whether it was the human cat, Cao Changqing, or Li Chungang, who had defeated the Sword Demon in one move today.
It was as if they had appeared out of thin air.
Pei Ju guessed that it was very likely that they were people that the Human Emperor had brought out from the arsenal.
However, he had no way of knowing if the arsenal still had such a foundation.
However…
These things were not what Pei Ju was worried about.
According to Xia Ji, as long as he could complete the allocation of money for this disaster relief, he would be able to obtain the essence of the dragon vein to treat madness.
"Hurry up and go. I still have to revise the latest bill.”Bao Zheng quickened his pace.
"Lord He, His Majesty is not as simple as you think. Now that the East Chamber has the power to supervise all officials, it is better not to have other thoughts.”Yu Qian looked at He Shen, but his words were sincere.
Hearing this.
He Shen's eyes were wide open,"I was the first to express my loyalty to His Majesty, and you all came to beat me up?"”
Hearing this, Wang Anshi also laughed."I'm afraid that I won't be able to change my previous habits with you.”
He Shen snorted coldly and quickened his pace.
He had indeed been a corrupt official before. In fact, more than half of the corrupt officials in the Imperial City had been traced back to him.
However, nothing happened to him.
Because of this, He Shen had already lost all other thoughts.
Since Human Emperor Xia Ji wanted to revive Xia, why would He Shen be a stumbling block?
"Let me show you that Shen and I are also clean and untainted!”
