After the court was over, all the officials went to the Taiwei City Government Office to attend court.
There are only a few institutions in Shangyang City such as the Hakka Academy, the Yin Palace, the Hanlin Academy, and the Feilong Stable. Most officials still have to go back to the imperial city or palace city to work.
Shao Shude did not leave.
Shangyang Palace and Dongdu Garden were restricted areas designated by him. All the palace officials here were the maids of the former Prince of Xia, and the palace servants were also women donated by chiefs from various tribes. They were all his people.
He felt very at home in these two places.
Of course, he actually had nowhere to go.
The Tang Dynasty did not have the official position of Prime Minister, and the Three Officials and Three Divisions were also honorary positions. He did not care about things. His real and serious position was actually that of King of Xia, which was to manage all the affairs of the Xia Kingdom.
There was no one in the Guanfeng Hall. He walked forward slowly and touched the throne. He didn't know what he was thinking.
After a long time, he sat on it.
The position of the throne is high, and the entire palace can be seen.
It's amazing. As soon as Shao Shude sat on the throne, he had a lot of thoughts.
I don’t know how much energy it will take to clarify the chaotic and conflicting official system...
There are so many warlords, I don’t know how long it will take to eliminate them...
The huge military expenditure is so large that the supply is almost like trousers...
The livelihood of the people who are waiting for food is already very difficult...
"Zhu San, did you do it right?" Zhu Quanyu's voice questioning Zhu Quanzhong rang in Shao Shude's mind.
To be fair, Zhu Quanzhong was already the most well-prepared among the founding kings of the Five Dynasties.
After Zhaozong was welcomed into Luoyang, he prepared for three full years.
Before that, the system of "villages and towns as a country" was already being explored.
This is not considered an institutional innovation, but it is still a very huge project to deal with. In the 150 years of separation of vassal towns, many things have completely changed. The system of the early and prosperous Tang Dynasty can no longer be used, and it must be suitable for the social atmosphere and atmosphere of the time.
Productivity cannot deviate too far to avoid backlash.
The next four dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty slowly improved and optimized under the situation he created.
Now he is Zhu Quanzhong, the founder of the cleanup of Shen Ke that lasted for more than a hundred years.
Suddenly I remembered the warlords during the Republic of China.
Yuan Shikai, Cao Kun, Wu Peifu, Zhang Zuolin and others were all powerful and powerful when they were warlords. But once they took the position of president, they began to be overwhelmed, exhausted, and constantly consuming their prestige.
When foreigners come, they nod and bow. The army wants money and raises money everywhere. If there is a natural or man-made disaster, you still take the blame.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
Shao Da, can you do it?
"Pa" Shao Shude slapped the armrest.
He is over forty years old, he kills people like crazy, he has slept with the emperor's women, what can't he do?
In this era, etiquette has collapsed and music has collapsed. All principles and ethics have disappeared. As long as the army remains loyal, any problem can be easily solved.
"Taifu!" A hesitant and timid voice sounded outside the palace.
Shao Shude took a closer look and saw that it was the queen.
"Come here!" He waved, motionless on the throne.
Mrs. Chen led the palace servants to bow their heads and leave.
Queen He was resting in Benzhiyuan because Shao Shude still had something to do for her, but she couldn't wait for a long time and actually fell asleep. She couldn't help it. Going to court was a hard job and she had to get up early in the morning.
The queen came over, got close, was pulled into Shao Shu's arms, and sat next to her.
The queen looked at the empty Guanfeng Hall, and a strange feeling arose in her heart. The person next to her was the emperor, and she was the queen. The two saints came to the court at the same time to accept the praises and worship of the ministers. Unfortunately, this was not true.
"The chiefs of the two Privy Councils and the six departments of Shangshu have all been promoted to one rank. You will take care of this matter after you return." Shao Shude said.
There is a strange thing about the official positions in the dynasty, that is, the prime ministers are basically of the third or even fourth rank.
But in the early years, high-ranking officials such as Shangshu Ling, Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong, and Left and Right Pushe were all ministerial officials, who were natural prime ministers and de facto prime ministers. During the Yongchun period, in order to weaken the power of the prime minister, Emperor Gaozong
These positions are fictitious, and their subordinates are given the status of "Tong Zhongshu Menxia Ping Zhangshi" and allowed to join the political affairs hall to manage politics. The grades of these people's official positions are often only three or four grades.
Civil service officers are official positions that perform specific government affairs, and are different from casual officers and honorary officers.
As later generations summarized: "Since Pushe was the governor of the Shangshu Province, and the minister, the official title of the Zhongshu was the prime minister. Since he respected his taste, he did not want to give it lightly, so he often used his official position as the prime minister, and pretended to be the prime minister.
His name."
By now, these early prime ministerial officials have long been reduced to honorary and casual officials, and local generals often receive such titles. For example, Shao Shude has the title of Shizhong, and the title of Zhongshu Ling means that he is a subordinate of Zhongshu.
Sir? Obviously not.
And since the emperor does not want to give away ministerial officials such as Shangshuling, then simply cancel them. This is Shao Shude's idea.
"What...what should I do?" The queen asked as she didn't know much about the process.
"I have informed the Queen." Shao Shude looked at the Queen and said.
According to historical records, the empress Wanli was very wise. Wanli could see it. She also thought she was a smart person before. How could she be so stupid now?
However, Empress He quickly gave him a "hard slap" and asked, "The Taifu wants to abolish three provinces?"
Shao Shude was startled and said, "No, I don't want to do that just yet."
The word "temporary" is used with great significance.
Reform, most of the time, is gradual, because you are not sure what impact an overly radical action will have, so you always take it step by step and make changes if it doesn't work.
During the Han Dynasty, the prime minister had great power.
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the power of the prime minister was gradually restricted.
In the Sui Dynasty, three provinces and six ministries were established, further dividing the powers of the prime ministers.
In the Song and Jin dynasties, it gradually became one province and six tribes.
By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, even that province was abolished. For example, the Ming Dynasty abolished the Zhongshu Province, and the emperor began to directly control the six ministries.
This process is a process in which the power of the prime minister is gradually weakened and the power of the monarch is strengthened step by step. Whether it is good or bad, there are different opinions and it is difficult to say. At least in the 21st century, it is still a de facto "one province and six ministries".
He was not sure whether the three provinces of Shangshu, Menxia, and Zhongshu were still necessary to exist. In the imperial dynasty, there was a political affairs hall, whose members were all officials from the three provinces and six ministries. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were cabinets. In fact, they were similar.
Outside the political hall, "enlarged meetings", that is, Yanying questions, are sometimes convened to deal with major events. The participants are mostly officials of key departments, military generals, etc., similar to the Military Aircraft Department of the Qing Dynasty, but
It is not a permanent organization, but convenes members temporarily for discussion.
Shao Shude is not omnipotent.
He has deep attainments in marching and fighting, but his understanding of the official system is not that deep. Everything he does now is imitating later generations, but reason tells him that he cannot copy the Ming and Qing systems. There is a difference of five hundred
In a thousand years, social class, values and culture, external environment, and productivity levels will vary greatly, and copying them is likely to be a fool's errand.
So he decided to change it step by step. First change part of it, see the effect, and then decide what to do next.
Anyway, let’s slowly take over the six ministry officials first and replace them with our own people, and then we’ll talk about the rest.
"What the Taifu plays is accurate for the country and the people," the queen said.
"I can't thank you enough." Shao Shude smiled.
After a long time, the Queen said in a trembling voice, "Is this how the Master is so grateful..."
Shao Shude knows his mistakes and can correct them. He didn't figure out the solution to the buttons on the Dingchai dress last time. After going back, he studied it carefully and learned something.
The queen's gown had been untied several times. Shao Shude fumbled around and took off the queen's white jade pendants. He placed them on the queen's chest, one on the left and one on the right, and praised: "The white jade is flawless, and the queen is also flawless."
"
After saying that, he slowly moved his hands down and said with a smile, "The fairy cave is as deep as the apricots, and the mountains are towering into the sky."
"Where did the master learn these crooked poems?" Queen He's pretty face flushed, she suddenly woke up and begged, "The master doesn't want it!"
Shao Shude stopped.
"Taifu!" The queen grabbed his hand and whispered: "Taifu is very heroic and manly. I am also very happy to see him. But after all, I am the empress of the Tang Dynasty. If...if she becomes pregnant
It may be disadvantageous to marry the Taifu's child."
Shao Shude tried hard to restrain his old habit of being addicted to the heart, and sighed, "Wandering under the twin peaks, melancholy under the twin peak moon."
After a long time, he arranged the ceremonial clothes for the queen and said, "Queen, please return to Ziwei City as soon as possible. I won't send it away."
The queen glanced at him in shame, rearranged her dress, covered up the faint tooth marks, fastened the buttons, and gritted her teeth and said, "The master is indeed a traitor who has insulted your Majesty."
Broadly speaking, the emperor, queen, prince, and princess are all kings and have no rank. The queen is right.
Shao Shude said shamelessly: "I have wiped out the traitors in the world. Your Majesty said that I have worked hard, and it is normal for you to express your condolences."
The queen stood up and said in an inaudible voice, "I can only comfort you to this extent."
After that, he left in a hurry.
"Smart woman..." Shao Shude laughed and said, "She is really Wanli and wise."
In the next few days, a series of edicts were issued.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, on the grounds that it was necessary to "pacify Yixia", he was promoted to the fourth rank of privy envoy, and the six ministers were promoted to the second rank of official.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the People's Day was given a day off. In the evening of the same day, Qi Xinzhang and Zhu Shuzong arrived in Luoyang together.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Qi Xinzhang was appointed Privy Envoy of the Privy Council under the Bei Yamen, Zhu Shuzong was appointed the Deputy Privy Envoy of the Privy Council under the South Yamen, and Yang Yue was appointed the Deputy Privy Envoy of the Privy Council under the South Yamen.
On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, the Beiya Lifan Court was established, and Ye Lijingchen was appointed as the Minister.
A series of job reforms and personnel appointments and removals are likely to have a profound impact on the power structure for hundreds of years to come. However, the entire government and opposition parties have barely made any waves and have acquiesced in calmness. Correct update @Lu Guangqi, Dugu Sun and others have been
He was executed, his wife and daughter were exiled to Yeting, and his family was exiled to Andong Mansion. Everyone saw it.
On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Beizhou came to report: All counties are under attack, the whole state has become the territory of the king, and the rebels have been defeated repeatedly, and they no longer dare to go to war.
Coincidentally, the first batch of returning sergeants had arrived in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang. Shao Shude petitioned the queen to lead hundreds of officials to the imperial censor Xiamen to observe the military situation.
