Chapter 870 Customized by hundreds of officials, Qi turns into a dragon!
"No gift!"
Li Yan raised his hands and sat on the throne, looking at the ministers who straightened up below.
For the reform of official robes, he combined the colors of the Tang Dynasty with the patterns of the Ming Dynasty, and came up with the following design——
For civil servants, the first-rank purple robe is embroidered with cranes; the second-rank purple robe is embroidered with golden pheasants; the third-rank purple robe is embroidered with peacocks; the fourth-rank scarlet robe is embroidered with clouds and wild geese; the fifth-rank scarlet robe is embroidered with white pheasants; the sixth-rank green robe is embroidered with egrets; the seventh-rank civil servant is embroidered with egrets and egrets.
The green robe is embroidered with Xichi; the eighth-grade green robe is embroidered with oriole; the ninth-grade green robe is embroidered with quail.
The first-grade purple robe of a general is painted with a unicorn; the second-grade purple robe is painted with a lion; the third-grade purple robe is painted with a leopard; the fourth-grade scarlet robe is painted with a tiger; the fifth-rank scarlet robe is painted with a bear; the sixth- and seventh-grade green robe is painted with a tiger;
The eighth-grade blue robe is painted with a rhinoceros; the ninth-grade blue robe is painted with a seahorse.
Looking at this change, one cannot help but think of the classic line "The clothes of civil servants are embroidered with birds, and the clothes of military attachés are embroidered with animals. Wearing this skin, which one of us is not dressed like a beast?"
In fact, the word "dressed like a beast" was originally a complimentary term, representing official position and status, but later it became a derogatory term due to the indifference of officials.
So whether you are a beast or not has nothing to do with what kind of official robe you wear. Even if you don't embroider anything, the official atmosphere is in a mess and you are still a bunch of beasts.
Now that the new dynasty has just been established, the official atmosphere has taken on a completely new look, and officials have begun to listen to their orders.
"The King of Yan has issued an order, the royal system has been established, and the two major offices are in charge."
"Zhongshu Province is the foundation of government, with six ministries in charge, and the Governor's Office is in charge of military affairs, with the three armies in charge. Civil and military affairs work together to ensure peace in the world."
"Appoint Cai Jing as the Right Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, the first rank;"
"Appoint Zhu Wu as Zuocheng of Zhongshu Province, the second rank;"
"Appoint Wu Yong as Zhongshu Shengyoucheng, the second rank;"
…
Three purple-robed officials came out to listen to the seal.
The left and right prime ministers of the Zhongshu Province are both of the first rank, and one left prime minister is currently vacant. The Pingzhang political affairs are of the first rank, which are currently vacant.
These six are senior leaders of Zhongshu Province, but now three are vacant. This shows that there is indeed a shortage of civil servants in Dayan. Presumably, this imperial examination will make the scholars go crazy.
Of course, even with the current imperial examination, it is impossible to be promoted to a high position in a short period of time, but there are still a large number of middle-level officials in the Zhongshu Province, such as the left and right ministers of the fifth rank, the Yuanwailang of the sixth rank, the general affairs, the inspection and correction of the seventh rank,
Zhao Mo, Guan Gou Cong Qipin, etc...
Moreover, these positions are important in the center, and there are many vacancies. As long as you can get into Zhongshu Province, your future will be bright.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Li Yan first established the Zhongshu Province, but it was based on Zhu Yuanzhang. When he was called King of Wu, he first established the Zhongshu Province. The Zhongshu Province unified the six ministries and was responsible for the affairs of the world. He had extremely powerful powers and was called the chief officer.
The Prime Minister left and right.
Zhu Yuanzhang inherited the Yuan system, while Li Yan believed that in the process of unifying the world, the three-province system cannot be used to balance each other, but everything must be executed with the highest efficiency.
As for what to do if Zhongshu becomes the dominant leader in the future, he may not necessarily make a similar choice to Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang executed Hu Weiyong, took the opportunity to abolish Zhongshu Sheng and the Prime Minister, and put six departments in charge of the common government, directly under the emperor's orders. The centralization of power was unprecedentedly strengthened. At this point, the game of imperial power and prime ministerial power in the past dynasties finally appeared on the surface.
it's over.
In ancient times, emperors and princes, emperors and prime ministers often had a mixed relationship of cooperation and opposition. The former was a competition for position, while the latter was a struggle for power.
Not to mention the prince, the fight was extremely fierce, and the emperor and prime minister also had three major stages.
The first time was during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The previous law of increasing power of "no marquis without meritorious service, and no minister without title" was changed, so that the prime minister was directly appointed by the emperor.
The second time was during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, when the functions of the prime minister were divided among Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province, forming a decentralized system.
The last time was in the early Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang directly abolished the prime minister system and brought the six ministries under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor. At the same time, he placed the Yushitai above the six ministries, which not only achieved the purpose of dividing the power of the prime minister, but also improved the supervision mechanism.
Judging from the time, it was indeed good.
But it is a pity that the side effect of such a high degree of centralization is that the burden of work has become extremely heavy. Not to mention the subsequent emperors, Zhu Yuanzhang himself sighed because of the many words in the memorial, "It is difficult to be a king, and it is not easy to be a minister. I
Therefore, if I want to speak frankly, if I want it to be true to my feelings, if there are too many words, I will listen to you personally." In fact, it is caused by too many memorials.
At this point during the Tang Dynasty, Li Yan once lamented that Li Zhi took power like that and could not handle it himself, so he had to leave it to Empress Wu to handle government affairs, and finally raised a power monster. Why bother?
The emperors all want to centralize power and would like to have all the power in their own hands, but there are so many things in a country, and the power is given to you, so you have to be able to take care of them.
So the prime minister was gone, but the Ming emperor had to form a group of secretaries to share his worries, which eventually evolved into a cabinet.
Without the prime minister possessing power, the cabinet can still produce powerful ministers. The key is that the instability of this political institution also caused great obstacles to the politics of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, everything must have a certain degree of control. When centralization reaches a certain level, it must begin to delegate power.
Li Yan has greatly improved the specific powers of the next six departments managed by Zhongshu Province.
"The Ministry of Personnel is the agency that manages civil officials. It is responsible for the selection of ranks, examinations and demotions, awards and awards, and the final system of official registration. It consists of four departments: literary selection, seal inspection, merit inspection, and merit examination, each with a director.
.”
"Appoint Gao Qiu as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, from the first rank;"
"Appoint Yang Xing as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, third grade;"
"Appoint Zhu Long as director of literary selection department, fourth rank;"
"Appoint Chen Da as the director of the seal verification department, with a fourth rank;"
"Appoint Li Yun as Director of Ji Xun, fourth rank;"
"Appoint Cao Zheng as director of merit examination, fourth rank;"
…
The second group of officials came forward to take orders.
Among them, Gao Qiu looked excited, but also unavoidably worried.
He knows his own family affairs. With his level, can he be qualified for the work of the official department?
But Li Yan only said two words to him before, justice.
He plans to strengthen the authority of the six ministries, and the Minister of Civil Affairs is extremely critical. The person in this position is the most important after the prime minister.
From the current point of view, in the Dayan camp, the only person in the Dayan camp who holds the title of official, can be relatively fair and convince everyone, is Gao Qingtian.
Because of his good reputation, Li Yan was also appointed to the position of military attache. For the sake of modesty, Gao Qiu only wore the military attache's third-grade leopard uniform, but he became more and more eye-catching.
After the official department, there is the household department.
"The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters. The internal government affairs are divided according to the regional division of labor. Currently, it is divided into Yanyun One Road, Henan Two Roads, Hebei Two Roads, and Shandong Two Roads, a total of seven transfers.
, consists of four departments: money law, treasury, warehousing, and water affairs."
"Appoint Chai Jin as the Minister of Household Affairs, from the first rank;"
"Appoint Jiang Jing as Minister of Household Affairs, third rank;"
"Appoint Zhu Gui as Director of Qian Law, fourth rank;"
"Appoint Du Qian as Director of Treasury, fourth rank;"
"Appoint Song Wan as Director of Warehousing, fourth grade;"
"Appoint Tong Meng as Director of Water Affairs, fourth rank;"
…
The third group of officials stepped forward to take orders.
Chai Jin suppressed his excitement.
Although he was very active in the establishment of the Township Army, he later provided logistical support to the Township Army and indeed made great contributions.
But there is a difference between closeness and distance. In comparison, Jiang Jing, as a direct descendant of King Yan, had founded Sui'an Academy as early as in the capital. Later, because he did not follow him to the north together, he was unable to participate in the battle to recover Yanyun. The result was really
below oneself.
This also shows that this award is indeed based entirely on merit and is fair and just.
Of course, Chai Jin also knew very well that the current position did not represent the final official position in the new dynasty, but more like a probation period.
If you are not qualified, there are still a lot of talents waiting eagerly to catch up.
Therefore, you must use the knowledge you learned in the academy to make yourself qualified for your current position.
After the Department of Husbandry, there is the Department of Rites.
"The Ministry of Etiquette is responsible for the five rites of good fortune, good fortune, military honors, guest honors, and bad fortune. It manages school affairs across the country, imperial examinations, and affairs between vassals and foreign countries. It consists of four departments: scientific examination, culture and education, ritual temples, and host and guest."
"Appoint Li Gefei as the Minister of Rites, from the first rank;"
"Appoint Han Jiayan as Minister of Rites, third grade;"
"Appoint Zhang Shangying as director of scientific research, fourth grade;"
"Appoint Bai Shizhong as director of culture and education, fourth rank;"
"Appoint Liu Zhengfu as the director of Yi Temple, the fourth rank;"
"Appointed Yu Shen as guest director, fourth rank;"
…
This department is basically composed of scholar-bureaucrats from the previous dynasty, and the average age has skyrocketed.
This group of scholar-bureaucrats were originally unwilling to serve as officials in the new dynasty and have a bad reputation of being responsible for two things. But until King Jian took refuge in Yanyun with the imperial edict and Zhao Song Zhengtong returned to Yanyun, they became officials with peace of mind.
However, Li Gefei, the head of the country, was a little frightened and always felt that something was wrong. The son-in-law made such an arrangement. It seemed that the scholar-bureaucrats of the previous dynasty were reused, but if something happened, wouldn't all the responsibility be theirs?
Of course, Shilin is having a carnival now. Once the authority of the Six Ministries is strengthened, won't they, who control the imperial examinations and culture and education, continue to prosper?
After all, even if the Ministry of Civil Affairs re-examines the officials, the initial officials will still have to come from the imperial examination!
so gorgeous!
Li Gefei sighed secretly and could only step forward to thank him.
After the Ministry of Rites, there is the Ministry of War.
Although Li Yan has divided up a governor's office to take charge of the actual war, the Ministry of War is undoubtedly the highlight at this stage.
"The Ministry of War is responsible for the national military guard, the selection and appointment of military attachés, the conciseness of political orders, the screening, the conciseness of military personnel, the status of military personnel, and the number of military personnel. It consists of four departments: military selection, chariot driving, personnel, and arsenal."
"Appoint Ding Run as Minister of the Ministry of War, from the first rank;"
"Appoint Ruda as Minister of War, third rank;"
"Appoint Yang Zhi as Minister of War, third rank;"
"Appoint Hu to be the director of the Military Selection Department, with a fourth rank;"
"Appoint Duan Jingzhu as the director of the driving department, fourth rank;"
"Appoint Zhu Hu as the director of the staff department, with a fourth rank;"
"Appoint Yan Shun as the director of the arsenal, fourth grade;"
…
If the civil service is Yan Yun's weakness, the military position is undoubtedly his strength. Even if the Ministry of War is partial to civil service, it is still crucial to the preparation and strengthening of the army at this stage, and it does not hinder the battle on the front line.
Because the teaching content of the academy at that time was that civilian officials could also lead troops to the front line, and military generals could also appease the people locally. In the previous Tang Dynasty, the goal was to serve as generals and prime ministers.
A big head that was so excited that he couldn't sleep last night stepped forward to receive the seal in a majestic manner.
"I didn't expect that I, Old Ding, would have a first-class official position. This life will be worth it!"
Ding Run was wearing a purple robe. Thinking that a few years ago he was a humble imperial city official who bought cooking cakes every morning, and now he has transformed into a minister in charge of the Ministry of War. The corners of his mouth on both sides of his mouth bent upward from time to time. It was really unbearable.
Can't live.
Compared with Chai Jin's worries, he didn't think that he would be caught up by others. With his achievements in rectifying Liangshan, as long as he made further achievements in the confrontation with the Northeastern Jurchens, was he afraid that he would not be able to secure his position?
After the Ministry of War, there is the Ministry of Punishment.
"The Ministry of Punishment is the agency in charge of national criminal decrees and review of criminal names. It examines laws, reviews criminal cases, and directly hears cases awaiting conviction or above in the Gyeonggi area. It consists of four departments: supervision, imprisonment, bribery and punishment, and atonement."
"Appoint Gongsun Zhao as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, from the first rank;"
"Appoint Pei Xuan as Minister of Justice, third rank;"
"Appoint Jiao Ting as the Director of Supervision, Fourth Grade;"
"Appoint Zou Run as the director of Tilao, fourth rank;"
"Appoint Le He as director of the stolen goods punishment department, fourth grade;"
"Appoint Sun Xin as the director of the Sin Atonement Department, fourth rank;"
…
This is also the only department where the head of the department is not present. Gongsun Zhao is still located in the Jurchen tribe, but Li Yan left this position for him and felt that he belongs to it.
There are too few people who can stick to principles in the officialdom. Such people may appear to be old-fashioned and unkind, but they are especially suitable for the responsibilities of criminal justice.
Empress Gongsun Zhao is Pei Xuan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kong Mu, the Sixth Case, has accumulated a lot of experience since he joined the Imperial City Division, and his character is upright, making him suitable for the official position of the Criminal Department.
Thinking of the original plot, he took refuge in Liangshan and was also in charge of determining rewards and punishments. However, in Liangshan's environment of calling brothers and sisters, there was no use for him. Now he can show off his talents.
After the Ministry of Justice, there is only the Ministry of Works.
“The Ministry of Industry is in charge of civil construction, utilization of implements, canal weirs and mausoleum construction, and comprehensively manages all government-run industries such as civil engineering, water conservancy projects, machine manufacturing, mining, metallurgy, and textiles across the country.
The Fourth Division of Tuntian."
"Appoint Ling Zhen as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, from the first rank;"
"Appoint Meng Kang as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, third grade;"
"Appoint Tao Zongwang as the director of camp and maintenance, fourth rank;"
"Appoint Jin Dajian as Director of Yu Heng, fourth rank;"
"Appoint Tong Wei as Director of Dushui, fourth grade;"
"Appoint Xiao Rang as the Director of the Farming Division, with a rank of fourth rank;"
…
When the official positions of Zhongshu Sheng and the Six Ministries were established, the envoys nearby also realized that His Highness the King of Yan's changes to the official system were obviously bold compared to the Song Dynasty's one power with multiple divisions.
In the past, the ministerial post was a fictitious position, and it was all used for the retirement of senior officials. The real person in charge of the six departments was the minister, but at the same time, most of them were held concurrently by the prime ministers, and the division of power was complicated.
At this time, while coordinating the overall management of the Zhongshu Province, it also increased the power of the six ministries. The minister became a veritable official, and each department also became a key department with real power. If it operates as planned in the system design, the efficiency of the central authority will undoubtedly be greatly increased.
.
But whether this group of young faces can do the job is a big question mark.
Li Yan knew very well that the personnel assigned now were all based on merit, but once he became this official, it was really difficult to keep his position.
After all, most of those who followed him in the uprising were very young and very lacking in experience in civil affairs. The academy's training allowed them to raise their upper limit to a certain extent, but in the end they could not make up for it all. In the next period of governance, some of them were bound to be eliminated.
of officials.
But this is what happens when dynasties change. It is not like the stable peace period, where the succession of power is step-by-step, and the top and bottom are normal. Moreover, there are still many positions vacant in various ministries, waiting for capable ministers to take up their posts.
This is why he separated the title of king and the title of emperor. This was the buffer period to verify the operation of various ministries. The capable ones were promoted and the weak were demoted. At the same time, the system also needed to be constantly adjusted.
A relatively efficient national system will always adapt to the current social environment, rather than just copying it and being complacent about how great it is. That would be self-impression.
In fact, many ancient people in history have caused turmoil in the world and made the people miserable...
In view of this, after Zhongshu Sheng and the Sixth Ministry, Li Yan made the current arrangements for the Dudu Mansion, which is directly responsible for military affairs.
"The official system of the governor's office was established, and the governor of each army was in charge of the military and state machinery, military defense, border preparations, military orders, cashier's secret orders, to assist in the governance of the country, and the secret, special attack, and Qilan departments were under supervision."
"The King of Yan has appointed himself as the Grand Governor, and he is of the first rank;"
"Appoint Lu Junyi as the Left Governor, the second rank;"
"Appoint Hua Rong as the right governor, the second rank;"
"Appointed Shi Qian as the Governor of Tongzhi, from the second rank;"
"Appoint Du Xing and Yang Xiong as confidential ministers, third grade;"
"Appoint Xie Zhen and Xie Bao as special attack ministers, third grade;"
"Appoint Fan Rui and Dai Zong as ministers of Qilan, third grade;"
"Appoint Zhu Tong and Gao Lian as the Ministers of Supervision, and Gao Qiu concurrently, with the third rank;"
"Determining the order of troops, ten people choose a fire chief, fifty people choose a team to be a leader, and they are the ninth rank; a hundred people choose a hundred households, and they are a seventh rank; a thousand people choose a thousand households, and they are a fifth rank; ten thousand people have a chief and deputy commander.
It is the third and fourth grade."
"Appoint Suo Chao as the commander of the Peking Army and Liu Tang as the deputy commander;"
"Appoint Xu Ning as the commander of the Guangxin Army and Shi Xiu as the deputy commander;"
"Appoint Zhang Qing as the commander of the Zhenrong Army and Lu Fang as the deputy commander;"
"Appoint Shi Wengong as the commander of the Ansu Army and Guo Sheng as the deputy commander;"
"Appoint Qin Ming as the commander of the Weiyuan Army and Xiang Chong as the deputy commander;"
"Appoint Luan Tingyu as the commander of the Ninghua Army and Li Gun as the deputy commander;"
"Appoint Li Ying as the commander of the Baoding Army and Ou Peng as the deputy commander;"
"Appoint Sun Li as the commander of the Weisheng Army and Huang Xin as the deputy commander;"
"Appoint Guan Sheng as the commander of the Deshun Army and Wei Dingguo as the deputy commander;"
"Appoint Hu Yanzhuo as the commander of the Yongning Army and Shan Tinggui as the deputy commander;"
In addition to the army, there are three naval divisions:
"Appoint Zhang Heng as the commander of the Linjiang Army and Ruan Xiaoqi as the deputy commander;"
"Appoint Ruan Xiaoer as the commander of the Lianshui Army and Zhang Shun as the deputy commander;"
"Appoint Li Jun as the commander of the Tongyuan Army and Ruan Xiaowu as the deputy commander;"
At this point, the rural army, which already had the prototype of the system before, was officially divided into ten strong armies, plus 30,000 naval troops, becoming the weapon of the country that Dayan would conquer the world next.
"Appoint An Daoquan as the history of the Taiyuan Hospital, third rank;"
"Design Li Qingzhao as Princess Yan, first-class wife;"
"Respect Lin Yuanjing as the king's father; respect Li Yanning as the queen mother;"
…
When the civil and military arrangements were made, and even the princess and parents were rewarded, all the ministers returned to their positions one after another. This time there was another shout: "I am waiting to thank you!"
Li Yan raised his hand slightly and moved his brows.
He could observe other Qi numbers, but was unable to notice that at this time, there was an invisible purple dragon above his head, rising like the rising sun, and quickly soared over Yanjing.
Fortunately, a change was immediate.
Attributes have been improved.
[Luck path: 40 (Luck is natural, the number of Qi is the result)] → [Luck path: 43 (Luck is natural, the Qi number is the dragon)]
