After inspecting the military situation and construction of the pass at Hulao Pass, Han Qian and Wang Jun returned to Luoyang.
Late September is already the time of late autumn, the grass leaves are turning yellow, a gust of wind blows, and the fallen leaves in the garden are rotated by the wind.
Han Qian was sitting in the Lingyun Pavilion of Shangyang Garden, holding the seal of the leader of the Liang Kingdom and stamping a memorial. It was so neat that Xi Rong couldn't help complaining:
"What these memorials say are all important matters. They have worked hard day and night to complete them, but you don't even look at them and just print them. Aren't you afraid of being discouraged by others?"
"Since Feng Liao, Guo Rong, Gu Qian and others have thoroughly discussed these matters, and they are all urgent tasks that need to be handed over immediately, I want to read them one by one, won't I delay things?" Han Qian said.
Seeing Han Qian's irresponsible words, Xi Yi curled her lips; Feng Liao, Guo Rong, and Gu Qian sitting down below also smiled helplessly.
Qin Wen stood beside Han Qian as the admonishing doctor, but he still fulfilled his duties and concentrated on reading the memorial quickly to avoid any omissions that he had not discovered before.
It's just that no matter how good Qin Wen's eyesight is, no matter how focused he is, he can't match the speed of Han Qian's direct sealing. He accumulated hundreds of memorials in a few days, and even if they were all finished in half a cup of tea, he would hand them over directly.
To be executed by the Right Neishi Mansion.
Even Qin Wen felt that Han Qian, the leader of the country, had acted too irresponsibly.
"Is there anything else?" Han Qian pushed the thick stack of memorials covered with seals in front of the case. He saw that Feng Liao, Gu Qian, and Guo Rong had no intention of standing up and taking out these memorials for execution.
, asked.
"Master Shangshu has been in Luoyang for more than half a month. Yesterday's banquet showed that he is in good health. He should be ready to work for Daliang. I wonder what your thoughts are?" Gu Qian hesitated for a while and then represented Feng.
Liao and Guo Rong asked directly.
After Han Daochang arrived in Luoyang, he took charge of the Qian Department and the First Savings Bureau of Daliang. He did not join the political governor's title, that is, he did not hold a position, and was temporarily not qualified to participate in the Privy Council. Everyone did not think there was anything wrong. After all, Han Daochang was not only Han Qian's direct relative, but also Han Qian's direct relative.
Except for my uncle, my other qualifications are still shallow and my talents are not obvious.
However, in addition to his status as a clan minister, Han Daoming also held important official positions in the Chu court such as Chizhou governor, Hubu minister, Yueyang Hubu Shangshu, Hubu Shangshu and political participation governor. His qualifications and abilities include Feng Liao, Gu Qian, Guo Rong, etc.
All are inferior.
In order to facilitate the peace talks with Chu Ting in Jinling, Han Daoming was directly given the title of Minister of Honglu Prefecture. However, this position was far from being particularly important in the central government. In theory, it was reserved for Feng Yi, which was already somewhat inconsistent.
Han Daoming’s identity and status at this time.
However, when Han Qian came back from Hulao Pass to watch the army, he invited his ministers to dinner several times but did not mention Han Daoming's official arrangements in Luoyang, nor did he summon Han Daoming in private.
Han Daoming can still keep his composure for now, but Gu Qian, Feng Liao, and Guo Rong cannot figure out Han Qian's thoughts, and they are worried that if this matter is delayed, it will cause subtle changes in people's hearts, so they decided to go directly to Han Qian to bring up the matter.
Speak clearly.
In addition, almost all the Han clan members have moved to Luoyang. Zongzheng Mansion or Zongzheng Temple should logically be organized, but Han Qian did not mention it at all.
After hearing Gu Qian mention this issue, Han Qian sat cross-legged behind the case, holding his chin in his hand.
This is actually a big problem he is currently facing and needs to solve.
Although for thousands of years, the role played by the clan has not always been positive, and many times the contradictions and conflicts within the clan often dragged the empire into the quagmire of war, but whenever the clan wanted to consolidate imperial power, the clan
forever
Far is a force that cannot be ignored.
Even if Han Qian wanted to weaken the system of shadow attacks, the tradition and inertial power formed over thousands of years made Feng Liao, Guo Rong, Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, Zhao Wuji, and Lin Haizheng all follow him at this time.
For him, he fulfills his duties and his inner goal is to hope that wealth can be a blessing to his descendants.
This is also the purpose of merit awards.
Now and in the future, it is impossible to avoid the emergence of a huge distinguished group in Daliang that is destined to gain a special status.
It is impossible that if Han Qian raises his arms and raises his voice, these great leaders will be so enlightened that they will become public servants who devote their lives to the interests of the people. Han Qian is also afraid that he will be injured if he takes too big a step.
Over the past dynasties, even the dynasties that have not yet arrived or even will not come at this time, the rulers do not want honorary groups, especially military honorary groups, to become a threat to central politics, to avoid new turmoil, or to treat honorary groups after the founding of the country.
The group has carried out purges and suppressions over and over again, or it has used more generous economic privileges to appease people's hearts.
Emotionally, Han Qian certainly doesn't want to follow the old path of "the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked", but if the noble group and the clan's children are given too generous economic privileges, over time, an increasingly large economic privilege group will inevitably emerge and swallow up
, encroaching on local and central finances, eventually rendering central finances ineffective, and allocating increasingly huge state and national defense expenditures to the increasingly severe exploitation of lower-class civilians.
Once we encounter serious internal and external troubles, the entire social system will directly face a new round of collapse crisis.
It's not that Han Qian didn't think about how to solve these problems, but he was not mature enough before and the time had not come yet, so he didn't mention it. But now that the uncle's appointment is mentioned, looking at the postures of Feng Liao, Gu Qian and others,
The arrangements for the Han clan will inevitably come up, and there is no way to delay these issues any longer.
Otherwise, it will inevitably have some very subtle negative effects on people's hearts.
"The military affairs are busy, and my energy is limited. It is difficult to take care of national affairs. I have great trust in the ministers, but I will inevitably be scolded for hastily sealing many memorials," Han Qian said slowly, "
I am thinking about whether the review and refutation of the Zuo Neishi Mansion should be separately set up to be in charge of the new government department. At that time, only the new government department and the left and right Nei Shifu can handle the matters reported to the prefectures, counties and various government departments.
If it is unanimous, I will not reject it in principle and just pass it directly. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to implement the system of three provinces and six ministries of the previous dynasty?" Gu Qian asked.
In the early years of the previous dynasty, the three provinces and six ministries were governed. The Zhongshu Province was responsible for decision-making, the Menxia Province was responsible for deliberation, and the Shangshu Province had six ministries responsible for the specific implementation of many affairs. When Zhu Wen founded the new dynasty, one was to centralize power, and the other was to improve deliberation.
For efficiency, the two provinces of Menxia and Shangshu were merged.
Han Qianchan succeeded the country and was busy with defense. Gu Qian, Feng Liao and others were mainly responsible for the early integration of the two armies. They merged the Shangshu Province and the Six Ministries into the Right Neishi Mansion, changed the Zhongshu Menxia Province to the Zuo Neishi Mansion, and added the military
The General Staff Office and the Supervisory Office jointly supported Liang Guoxin's central structure.
Listening to Han Qian's words, Gu Qian thought that Han Qian wanted to separate the decision-making and deliberation powers of the Zuo Neishi Mansion, and ultimately follow the example of the previous dynasty to form a central structure of three provinces and six ministries that check and balance each other. In this way, a brand new central organization could be created.
Directed by Han Daoming.
He, Feng Liao and Guo Rong looked at each other and didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
"It's almost the same meaning," Han Qian said, "but there are slight differences..."
"What's the difference? Please tell me." Gu Qian said.
“In the previous dynasty, all three provinces held civil servants. Whether it was raiding, conquering, or taking imperial examinations, they were all selected and appointed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Officials needed to be streamlined and capable, and left and right.
The Shifu inherits the powers of Zhongshu and Shangshu, and the official system can mainly follow the precedent. However, the core responsibility of the newly established Academy is to consult the state affairs, which requires brainstorming and more personnel appointments. In addition to presiding ministers, counselors also
There should no longer be a distinction between upper and lower classes. I think it would be better for the new academy ministers to no longer appoint civil servants from the civil service, but to directly involve the clan ministers, the ministers who have made great contributions to the beams, and the local sages recommended by the local government - you
What do you think?" Han Qian said.
What Han Qian mentioned was the prototype of the House of Lords system or the Assembly of Nobles. Gu Qian, Feng Liao, and Guo Rong were all a little stunned. Of course they knew that the new system Han Qian mentioned was completely different from the system of three provinces and six ministries that they were familiar with.
, but it was not clear for a while how far-reaching the impact of this matter on national politics would be.
At this time, they may not know what is good or bad.
Han Qian would not ask Feng Liao, Gu Qian, and Guo Rong to give him an answer at this time. He would just limit a scope for them to discuss first, and wait for a while before convening everyone to discuss and decide.
Gu Qian, Guo Rong, Feng Liao, Qin Wen and others left Lingyun Pavilion holding a pile of memorials.
"What are you going to do?" Xi Rong couldn't help but ask Han Qian when she saw Gu Qian, Feng Liao and others looking confused when they left.
"Pinch my shoulders for me, and I'll tell you..." Han Qian sat cross-legged and said with a smile.
Xi Yin knelt down and sat behind him, but she didn't want Han Qian to lie down like a rogue.
Han Qian rested his head on the soft spot and couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but he didn't want to be pinched by Xi Yin. He raised his head and looked at her face that exuded the alluring radiance of a mature woman and said:
"...After the great chaos, there must be great rule. However, the prosperous times ushered in by the great rule over thousands of years are short-lived. Even the prosperous times of Zhenguan and Kaiyuan in the previous dynasty lasted only one hundred and thirty years. However, starting from the Anshi Rebellion, the previous dynasty
Things got worse and worse, until the mountains and rivers collapsed. For more than 150 years, the world was like a copper furnace tormenting the world. Not to mention the history from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, the so-called Han Dynasty is not weak, but the years when the people can live and work in peace and contentment are also very long.
It is limited. Therefore, many heroes often lament that it is easy to conquer the world at once but difficult to rule it at once. My uncle has not been in Luoyang for more than a month, and people's hearts are a little subtle. Gu Qian couldn't wait to mention this matter, but it is not
Selfishly, it's a pity that for thousands of years, many people have advocated countless theories that can be applied to the world, but none of them can effectively solve the many drawbacks caused by the clan and nobles. Not to mention others, Xi Chang and Ting'er
My father, after arriving in Luoyang, asked them to participate in state affairs, which was somewhat incompetent, but they would not be willing to be subordinate to others. Not to mention that the generals, soldiers and people are all suffering at this time, and everyone has to overcome the hardships together. Even if the country is peaceful and the people are safe in the future, I do not want to be granted a title.
They are given the title of a duke, and then they are rewarded with fertile land, beautiful houses, concubines, and servants, so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives happily. Those with the surname Han, just because of their surname, now everyone in Luoyang City speaks for them, and they wish that everyone with the surname Han should be granted the title
Hou. If you really want to do this, one day there will be a huge group in Daliang that is just like the clan clans of the aristocratic families, which will suppress the people at the bottom and finally have to bring chaos to the world in order to reform. But they followed me
When conquering the world, one does not want to end up with nothing; there are only a few people who are sincere for the people and are willing to have a breeze on their sleeves. And in the future, no one can guarantee that all my descendants will be wise and martial, diligent in state affairs, and not idle in play?
Let’s not talk about the far side, let’s just say that if something happens to me, who can guarantee that brothers Wen Xin and Wen Cong will not fight each other, or that Xu Mingzhen will not appear in Daliang? These problems are a headache. What if?
In Tangyi, it is not so urgent, but my successor as the head of the Liang Kingdom, the descendants of the Zhu family clan, the canonized princes, and the generals who are not suitable for the new system must be settled now, and these have become an urgent need.
