Section two hundred and ninety-ninth Western Han version of the Central Advisory Committee
"Old Prime Minister..." Liu Che held Shen Tujia's hand. He could clearly find that after Shen Tujia said those words, his mental state deteriorated rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he became that person again.
The poor old man was lying on the bed, lingering.
Liu Che sighed, softened his heart, and said to him: "Old Prime Minister, in a few days, Ji'an, the solitary family magistrate, and Zhang Tang, the crown prince's magistrate, will jointly submit a letter to the emperor, please establish a new yamen, named: Consultant, here
The yamen has no rank, salary, and little power, but those who join the yamen as advisors can directly write to the emperor and discuss state affairs! Gu's idea is that officials who have reached official positions with more than 2,000 shi can unconditionally become advisors, which is also good for
Elders and important ministers can have an opportunity to speak directly to the emperor and discuss state affairs!"
When Shen Tujia heard this, he immediately became energetic. He didn't even need the help of his maid. He immediately stood up, looked at Liu Che and asked, "Really?"
Liu Che laughed and said, "It's true!"
He couldn't help but joked and asked: "Can the old prime minister still eat?"
Shen Tujia also laughed when he heard this, lowered his head and said: "Old minister, I'm rude!"
However, the whole person's spirit and state have returned to the previous level.
Obviously, Shen Tujia was heartbroken!
After leaving Shen Tujia's mansion, Liu Che got on the carriage and began to think about it.
The so-called consultant yamen he and Shen Tujia talked about was naturally the product of a whim.
But it can also be said to be the product of careful consideration.
The so-called Consultant Yamen was inspired by the Central Consultative Committee established by Taizong of the later Chinese dynasty.
Liu Che used it and there was no big problem.
Presumably because of the nature of a setting like this, it will naturally be highly praised by the bureaucrats, gentry, and aristocracy.
Power is a good thing. No one wants to work hard all his life. In the end, he has to go home and farm.
Even those long-tested revolutionary warriors in later generations of the Chinese dynasty could not let go of their power, let alone the powerful class at this time?
Therefore, when they reach the age of retirement, most officials cling to their positions and refuse to move on at any cost.
I don’t know how many officials died in the positions of county governor, nine ministers and even three Dukes.
But if the old guys hang around, there will be no room for advancement for those below.
There is no doubt that if things continue like this, it will be detrimental to the country.
On the other hand, in feudal society, senior ministers had rich experience and solid theories. Although they were older and less energetic than before, where did their abilities and experience lie?
If it is just idle like this, it will undoubtedly be a huge waste of resources!
Therefore, Liu Che actually thought about creating an organization similar to the Central Advisory Committee before.
One is to win people's hearts and unite the majority of the bureaucratic elite class.
The second is to give full play to and utilize the reputation and resources of veterans so that they will not be idle and wasted.
Third, give some stubborn people a step to step down and give young people a stage to show off their skills.
But originally these were policies that Liu Che planned to implement after he came to power. They were used to show favor.
At this time, because of Shen Tujia, I had to take it out in advance.
……………………
Two days later, the prince's family order Ji An and the prince led Gengeng, and the court officials, Xing Cao, and the official Zhang Tang jointly reported to the emperor: Therefore, two thousand stones and nine ministers and three Dukes, who are distinguished ministers and generals, have made great contributions to the country, and are highly respected, please appoint them as advisors to discuss national affairs.
, pick up the missing pieces and fill in the gaps, so as to conform to the Han Dynasty's principle of respecting the elderly.
Emperor Zhi said: Yes.
As a result, countless people ran with joy.
Especially those old guys who had been idle in the past political struggles suddenly found that they had ushered in a second spring of political life.
Although this consultant has no rank or salary, he only has a salary of "two thousand dan".
However, just being able to write directly to the emperor is exciting enough.
At the very least, with this power, cats and dogs will no longer dare to provoke a family with advisors. Otherwise, if someone gets angry and writes a letter to the emperor or files a complaint, who will take the blame?
As a result, this matter immediately surpassed the adultery scandal of King Liu Wu of Chu and became the biggest focus of the Han Dynasty in the year of Dinghai.
In just two or three days, this new consultant position set off a craze that even the instigator, Liu Che, had never imagined.
The kings of Qi, Zhao, Jiaodong, Jiaoxi, Chengyang, and Hengshan submitted memorials one after another, expressing their firm support for Chang'an's decision to set up an adviser.
As for the Chehous, they have already exploded.
Many people sent messages one after another, requesting to see the prince.
The reaction of the powerful and bureaucratic class frightened Liu Che.
He was so frightened that he hurriedly hid in Shanglinyuan. Only those people who couldn't escape Liu Che had to see them.
For example, giants like Nanpihou and Zhangwuhou.
Facts have proved that even Dou Guangguo, the Marquis of Zhang Wu, who was already immersed in cultivating immortals and had no interest in worldly matters, still could not let go of his power in his heart.
But then again, Dou Guangguo was quite unjustly accused.
Before him, Bo Zhaoneng was honored as a general of chariots and cavalry, and the distant relative of Empress Lu was even more powerful.
After him, Tian Fu and others could also wear the vest of a foreign relative and be the Taiwei and Prime Minister.
It happened that his generation of relatives wanted to become official, and they were shouting and killing. The government and the public were all staring at their brothers. From the princes to the ministers, they were talking about Lu Shi Yin Jian in their brothers' ears almost every day.
Just use Bo Zhao's story to threaten you.
As a result, the uncle who could have been addicted to the prime minister could only immerse himself in cultivating immortality.
It was not until Liu Che, the grandson's nephew, came up with a proposal as a consultant that he could openly make his voice heard in politics.
After sending Dou Guangguo and Dou Changjun away, Liu Che dared to stretch a little.
There is no way. Although these two giants have never served as ministers, their status is no less than that of the prime minister.
These two could make Chang'an tremble just by stamping their feet.
What's more, he is twice as senior as Liu Che. Even Liu Che's father must be respectful and treat him as an elder when he sees him.
Fortunately, these two people don't interfere much in politics and focus on cultivating immortality.
This time, they were able to take the initiative to see Liu Che because Liu Che sent a consultant gift package, plus ginseng that would help them practice, so these two deigned to come to see Liu Che and give them some encouragement.
Otherwise, even if Chang'an is in turmoil, they may not be willing to move.
"This time it's a little more serious..." Liu Che scratched his head and thought: "But fortunately, Ji An and Zhang Tang are buffering. In addition, the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages. It can be said to be a proposal that everyone is happy with. So, at this moment, I
We can still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, but from now on, we should try not to get out of the limelight and just farm in Shanglinyuan and climb the science and technology tree with peace of mind!"
So, he got up and headed towards a palace not far away.
In that palace, at this moment, dozens of agricultural officials transferred from the Shaofu were waiting for his arrival.
Speaking of which, the reason why the Shaofu was able to transfer these agricultural technical officials to him so quickly and on time this time was because of the suggestion of Liu Che's advisor.
The current Shaofu Ling Cenmai is about to reach the end.
The Han Dynasty is not the third prince. Basically, when you are about seventy years old, you have to retire, unless the emperor comforts you. (Note 1)
And Cen Mai is already over sixty, and if nothing happens, he will have to move next year.
Liu Che's suggestion as a consultant would give Cen Mai one more way to participate in politics after retirement. It's unknown whether he might even make a comeback through this!
After all, the system is dead, but people are alive!
So, reciprocating the favor, the Shaofu Yamen was extremely efficient and punctual this time. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
ps: Note 1: In the Western Han Dynasty, the legal age for retirement was seventy years old.
This is based on the tradition from the pre-Qin era.
It is said in the Book of Rites: A doctor becomes an official at seventy.
By the Western Han Dynasty, this became the recognized retirement age.
And a system has been formed.
People like Shi Qing and Uncle Tian are examples of people who, under the provisions of this system, automatically retired when the time came.
In addition, in the last chapter yesterday, the record of Shen Tujia restricting eating and drinking with public funds comes from Hanshu. Jingdi Ji.
Well, I am basically sure that the number of words in the update today will be no less than yesterday. I guess it will be difficult to break through, but it will not be difficult to maintain!
