In the yamen of Lan Yiwei Mansion, Wang Junlin said with a look of astonishment: "Your Majesty wants to reinstate the Qin system? Almost everyone in the court opposed it, civil and military, and all the powerful families opposed it. How big a cake this has touched. Don't these people know that Your Majesty has recently
Will someone kill someone if they disagree?"
"Sir, what kind of food is cake? Why haven't you heard of it?" Xu Jingzong looked confused.
"What the cake is is not the point...don't interrupt." Wang Junlin glared and said.
Xu Jingzong immediately forgot about the cake and said with a smile: "Sir, your Majesty's restoration of the Qin system this time is not simply about imitating the Qin system in a certain matter..."
Wang Junlin gradually came to his senses, and suddenly remembered another thing Yang Guang did in history that was praised by later generations, and asked: "Does your Majesty want to abolish the state system?"
Xu Jingzong said with admiration: "Your Excellency is wise, Your Majesty will abolish all state capitals, implement a two-level system of counties and counties, and restore the zoning structure of the Qin Dynasty in form."
Wang Junlin thought that this was indeed the case, but he still couldn't help being surprised. This was a major reform from top to bottom! If nothing else, it directly reduced the number of official positions nationwide by one-third, and it was mainly at the state level.
Officials were "laid off", and now the administrative officials who control the state capitals in the Sui Dynasty basically come from aristocratic families and nobles. No wonder it has attracted such a big backlash. In order to get rid of the shackles of the aristocratic families, His Majesty directly came to drain the salary.
!
"I let you damn aristocratic families control the state capital. I directly abolished the state government office and let you eat shit..." Wang Junlin stood in Yang Guang's perspective, and suddenly these thoughts appeared in his mind.
Thinking that Yang Guang was playing mahjong as the banker, the other three people joined forces to make it impossible, so he just turned over the table!
"Your Majesty, this is... Well, Your Majesty is indeed courageous..." Wang Junlin sincerely admired him.
Xu Jingzong sighed: "Since your Majesty came to the throne, he has tried every means to cultivate confidants and confidants, and tried every means to place them in the three provinces and six departments of the imperial court and the local states and counties. However, the effects at the county and county levels were remarkable, but there was not much progress in the state capital, and in the three provinces
The effect of the Six Parts is there, but most of the important positions of important ministers are occupied by powerful families. Now it seems that His Majesty has lost his patience..."
Xu Jingzong said these words
At that time, his expression was quite complicated, and there was a hint of joy in the depths of his eyes. Although Xu Jingzong was very deep in the city, Wang Junlin still understood the unspoken meaning in his words.
Xu Jingzong's family was originally a down-and-out noble, and they were losers in the struggle between nobles. If Yang Guang could not break the status quo of aristocratic families controlling the state capital, it would be difficult for people other than wealthy aristocratic families to become high-ranking officials. Although Xu Jingzong is now also
He belongs to the class of senior officials, but after all, it is not within the scope of three provinces, six ministries and prefectures and counties. For him, who is a scholar, this is more or less regretful. Deep down, he has a lot of feelings for the powerful families who control important ministers and senior officials.
Hateful.
Now it seems that Yang Guang has taken a huge piece of the family cake, no wonder he has suffered such a huge backlash.
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful. The system of prefectures, prefectures and counties should have been changed to prefectures and counties long ago."
"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were only thirteen prefectures in the world, with more than one hundred counties under their jurisdiction. After the separation of the Three Kingdoms, the southern prefectures of Jing, Yang, Yi, Jiao, etc. developed greatly, and by the time of the unification of the Western Jin Dynasty, the number increased to nineteen prefectures. But since then,
Within more than two hundred years, the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the world were divided. A large number of ruling regimes were established in various places, and overseas Chinese established prefectures and counties. By the time the First Emperor Dynasty replaced the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty, there had been 211 states, 508 counties, and 1124 counties in the world.
Counties. A county generally only governs one to three counties. The significance of three-level administrative divisions is no longer great. The governors of many counties actually do not manage the affairs. However, this additional administrative mechanism still creates a huge local bureaucracy and increases the burden on the court and the people.
…”
Xu Jingzong explained rationally, his expression a little complicated, but what he said was extremely reasonable.
"Jingzong's words make sense." Wang Junlin agreed, nodded and said.
Xu Jingzong said hurriedly: "It's just that all the powerful families have ulterior motives. Not only are the three provinces, six ministries and nine ministers opposed, but they also instigated so many officials to oppose. Sir, should we, the Blue Guards, take the initiative and do something to help His Majesty?"
After saying this, Xu Jingzong suddenly felt guilty. After all, it was rare for him to give advice this time without thinking from Wang Junlin's perspective. It was purely based on his own thoughts, likes and dislikes. This is extremely harmful to his character and code of conduct.
Rare.
"Yes, we want to help His Majesty do something, but the interests involved in this matter are too great, and we cannot act rashly.
, wait and see the situation." Wang Junlin took a deep look at Xu Jingzong, he knew that he would be released as an official in half a year at the latest, and what he wanted to do had to leave the center of the imperial court, the further away from Yang Guang
Okay, so unless I have to, I don't want to cause trouble at this time.
"Your Majesty is right. The interests involved in this are far greater than when we decided to move the capital. But His Majesty has already made up his mind, and the powerful family may not back down from this matter..."
Xu Jingzong shook his head and sighed. He did not say the next words, but the implication was that His Majesty would ask Wang Junlin to help sooner or later. Just like the obstacles encountered when he decided to move the capital, Wang Junlin finally helped to solve the problem.
.
…
…
The decision to withdraw all state capitals and implement a two-level system of counties and counties was not passed at the court meeting, but Yang Guang suddenly issued an order for the cabinet to directly start preparing a plan.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and important ministers from three provinces, six ministries, and nine ministers stood up to strongly object. They knelt in front of Chengtian Gate several times and asked to see Tianyan, but Yang Guang avoided seeing him.
As he gradually took power into his own hands and placed many of his confidants in the court and local governments, Yang Guang became increasingly tough in his actions.
However, the cake that Yang Guang touched this time was too big, and various wealthy families no longer tolerated it.
…
…
The court hall was noisy and chaotic, and Wang Junlin, wearing a simple long gown, followed Shen Guang to the East Market.
In an inconspicuous restaurant in Dongshi, Wang Junlin was sitting in a very inconspicuous small box, watching the shopkeeper rushing back and forth to greet the guests, while he and Shen Guangze drank golden milk puffs slowly.
After waiting for less than half an hour, two figures walked in outside the door. Shen Guang smiled, pointed at the middle-aged man with a fair and handsome face walking in front, and said with a soft smile: "That is the Prime Minister of Goguryeo Yeon Taejo.
The personal representative who came is apparently a businessman from Liaodong named Mao Haiming, and the man behind him is his follower. He is not weak in strength and is a master of breaking merit."
When Shen Guang whispered in Wang Junlin's ear, Mao Haiming had already walked into the restaurant with an entourage. The shopkeeper came forward to greet him. Mao Haiming was very polite. He saluted the shopkeeper first, then asked where Wang Junlin's box was, and walked towards them.
Come.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju
