Du Qi's gaze turned and landed on Wang Ji. He said in a deep voice, "Wang Ji!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Wang Ji also stood up.
At this moment, Wang Ji had already submitted to Li Mu. In fact, he had submitted to Du Qi very early. He had been working for Du Qi for a long time. However, Wang Ji had always been in the academy and had never worked for Du Qi.
In fact, in terms of Wang Ji's contributions to Du Qi, there really weren't many. Now, Wang Ji was the third person to be called out by Du Qi, so Wang Ji's heart was quite excited.
Wang Ji was now ready to be an official. However, Wang Ji himself did not know what official position he would hold under Du Qi for the time being. After all, in terms of contributions and military achievements, he was far behind Guo Xiaozheng and the others.
He could not compare to those who had been around Du Qi all year round.
Du Qi said, "When Mr. Wang was in Chang 'an in his early years, he was invited by me to take charge of the Academy of the Tang dynasty in Chang' an. Although he was constrained in many aspects, he was determined to maintain the operation of the Academy of the Tang dynasty. It was not easy. Mr. Wang was born in a famous family. He was knowledgeable and proud. I order Wang Ji to be the chancellor of the Imperial College and take charge of it. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Wang Ji immediately responded.
He was familiar with the classics and was very knowledgeable about etiquette. Moreover, the Imperial College was also in charge of education and other things. He was in charge of this aspect, which was something Wang Ji liked very much.
Du Qi said, "Wang Ji, you will take all the personnel of the Imperial College."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Ji bowed and responded.
After making arrangements for Wang Ji, Du Qi continued to make arrangements. Among them, Yi Fusheng was the Minister of War, Yuan Yin was the Minister of Revenue, Guo Xiaozheng was the Minister of Justice, Wang Wenkai was the Minister of Works, and Wang Wen was the Minister of Rites.
Wang Wenkai was still in the Yizhou University of Science and Technology. He would be transferred back. Wang Wen used to be the Grand Tutor of Gaochang Country and knew about ceremonies. He was now in charge of the Ministry of Rites. In fact, the Ministry of Rites had very little power, especially in Du Qi's current Xia Xia. The Ministry of Rites was equivalent to settling down officials.
After arranging the personnel of the six departments, one station, and one bureau, Du Qi also arranged the chief officials of the five temples. They were all selected from the personnel of Prince Du Qi's mansion. One person worth mentioning was Zhang Jingping. Du Qi had promoted Zhang Jingping from his original position to become the chief official of the Supreme Court and Chancellor of the Supreme Court. After these people were arranged, Yu Deshui and Huang Shi did not change. Yu Deshui was still the Delinquent Commander, while Huang Shi was still the Vice Delinquent Commander.
Generally speaking, the six ministries, five temples, one station, and one bureau had all been arranged.
Many of the officials of the Prince's Mansion had already rushed in. Each and every one of them had joyous expressions on their faces.
However, Lai Ji and Ma Zhou had not been arranged yet. The two of them had just joined Du Qi, so they hadn't received any arrangements. In fact, in addition to Lai Ji and Ma Zhou, Shangguan Yi had also received the same treatment.
The three of them had not received any arrangements. However, the three of them did not panic, because they had already entered the main hall. Since they had been summoned by Du Qi and called to the palace, there must be arrangements. It was impossible that they had not been arranged.
Du Qi's gaze fell on the three of them. He said in a deep voice, "Shangguan Yi, Ma Zhou, Lai Ji."
"Yes, Sir!"
The three of them stood up and answered in unison.
The three of them had expectations in their hearts, because the three of them had just come from the Tang dynasty. Although they were of different ages, in fact, each of them was knowledgeable and extremely talented.
In history, the three of them had all been Prime Ministers.
They had the ability to rule the world.
Du Qi said, "Under my command, in addition to the six ministries, five temples, one station, and one bureau, there is also the Cabinet. At present, the Cabinet is only to be my advisors, who will give advice on military and political affairs for me at any time. The three of you are all members of the Cabinet, headed by Shangguan Yi. "
Hearing this, Shangguan Yi looked slightly surprised. He had expected what his official position would be. Shangguan Yi had never thought that he would become the head of the Cabinet. Because previously, Du Qi, Shangguan Yi, Liu Zhengxi, and the others had already discussed the future plan of the Cabinet, which was to be ranked above the six ministries.
Even if the current Cabinet was only to be Du Qi's advisors and give advice on military and political affairs, the future was promising. Of course, Shangguan Yi would not be naive to think that if he entered the Cabinet now, he would directly become the head of the Cabinet in the future.
That was impossible.
He was now accumulating experience in the Cabinet. When he reached a certain age and made meritorious contributions, he would definitely be sent out to be an official, and then enter the Cabinet. Without a certain resume, it was impossible to directly become the head of the Cabinet. One must know that the position of the Cabinet Chief was equivalent to that of the Prime Minister in the future.
Shangguan Yi thought a lot in his mind, but in fact, it was just a matter of a moment. He solemnly said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ma Zhou and Lai Ji also said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Both of their faces showed a smile.
Although they did not have official positions or ranks at the moment, as the close ministers of the Emperor, this was the place closest to the center of power. It seemed that they had no power, but in fact, they had a lot of power, and the speed of promotion was bound to be fast.
The two of them did not have the slightest complaint.
They were no longer nervous.
After arranging all the civil officials, Du Qi looked at Xue Rengui, Ma Yuan, Xiao Yuanqi, and the others. Since the civil officials were promoted, the military generals naturally had to be promoted accordingly.
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "The military system in the army, according to the system currently in place in the Tang dynasty, the highest level is the General, and below him are the General, the Lieutenant General, the Left and Right Commanders, as well as the Captains, Team Leaders, and Partners. Right now, we only have a standing army, not a Prefecture Army. As our territory expands, it won't be too late to set up a Prefecture Army. Because right now, we only need a standing army.
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "Xue Rengui, Ma Yuan, and Xiao Yuanqi will be the Generals. Zhu Youtian and Left Vanguard will be the Lieutenant General. The rest of the generals will be divided according to rank, and reported to me for confirmation."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xue Rengui, Ma Yuan, and the others replied in unison.
For them, whatever Du Qi said was what it was, and they had no objection.
Shangguan Yi suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have a question."
Du Qi said, "Go ahead."
Shangguan Yi said seriously, "According to the military system of the Tang dynasty, the standing army is divided into the Left and Right Guards, the Left and Right Valiant Guards, the Left and Right Wu Guards, the Left and Right Prestige Guards, the Left and Right Golden Guards, the Left and Right Leading Guards, the Left and Right Prison Guards, and the Left and Right Thousand Ox Guards to control the world's army. Now under Your Majesty's command, shouldn't you divide them? "
Du Qi shook his head and said, "This division is too complicated. Let's make it simple, divide them according to one, two, three, four, and five. Xue Rengui's army is the First Army; Xiao Yuanqi's army is the Second Army; Ma Yuan's army is the Third Army. If the army is expanded in the future, it will be divided in this way, and there will be no separate names. It's simple and easy to remember, and it won't be too complicated. "
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "There is no order in the division of one, two, three, four, and so on. It's just that the names of the organizations are different. This is your Majesty's arrangement, and it's just a simple adjustment of the army. "
Shangguan Yi heard this, nodded and said no more, because Du Qi's arrangement was very simple and clear. Du Qi actually had more ideas about the adjustment of the official system.
But Du Qi didn't make any more adjustments.
At this time, it was not suitable to make any more adjustments. First, he needed to digest the current adjustments, make everything run normally, and make everyone get used to the current official system. Then, gradually from the top to the bottom, he would make adjustments to the officialdom.
In fact, Du Qi would also adjust the local officials, such as Hu Youshan, Luo Yansheng, and others, in the future. But not now. He would keep it unchanged for the time being. After a while, he would adjust the local officials.
This was the result of Du Qi's thinking.
