Lu Pheasant, who was excited in his heart, looked at the sky, suppressed his intention to continue the conversation, and smiled at the two of them: "Dong Ahou, Young Master Chen, there is no reason to send hungry soldiers in this world, you just stay in the palace to have a meal. I'll go change into casual clothes and then have a meal with you."

After Lu Pheasant left the palace, Luo Xin said with a smile: "Ah Chen, you performed very well today. I should say it was just right. I didn't expect you to change so much."

Luo Chen chuckled and said: "Fourth brother, if you saw the volume of the book that was directly destroyed, you might be even more shocked. What do Chen's thoughts mean?

However, when I met the Queen Mother today, I found that she was truly a rare and rare woman in the world. Unfortunately, she was born as a girl. If she were a man, she would definitely be a sage king and virtuous minister who would go down in history. "

Luo Xin said calmly: "Even if she is born as a girl, she will still be remembered in history as regent and fake emperor!"

Luo Chen smiled and cupped his hands and said: "The Han Dynasty has a regent like the Queen Mother and still uses our Luo family. It is going to be great.

A man with a white body actually conquered the world, and a hero from a county actually dominated all the Xia. It was really magnificent and fierce.

After the most decadent nobles were swept into the garbage heap of history, the air throughout Zhuxia seemed to become fresher.

Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?

From now on, it will be an era for talented people to show their talents. "

A weak prime minister can even be called the deputy emperor.

Chen's ancestor Wen Gong was once a minister of King Li. When Wen Gong was still in Wangji, even though King Li had no intention of cholera, he did nothing.

The First Emperor set up Taiwei, the same rank as the Prime Minister. As a military attache, he was the lowest, but he was a permanent one.

Luochen's words set back eight interrelated matters, namely increasing the government authority of the prime minister, weakening the military personnel power of the court, and making the military attache's top position a civilian position.

Behind the palace gate, Prime Minister Quan said to Luo Chen with emotion, "You also came to attend the small court meeting eight days ago. It's time for the heavenly people to meet you, the hero of the Luo family."

Dong'ahou also asked to state the official system together, and I will announce it at the court meeting in the next few days.

There are less than seventeen hours in a day, and these diligent holy kings have less than eight hours to deal with government affairs, but a small number of monarchs only have only eight hours to deal with government affairs.

Young Master Chen, what I am relieved about is that Prime Minister Xiao Hede, who has low expectations, can allow me to give up my position. He is Xiang Zhenhan's brother and the person I trust most, so he can also give me my chance.

That is, only low-level generals are appointed by the emperor, and even mid-level generals must be personally appointed by the emperor. The emperor should regularly summon those mid-level generals.

If someone here heard what the two brothers said, they would probably be shocked. The Han Dynasty had just been established, so stop thinking about the future.

Government affairs are the most complicated affairs in the world. I cannot say it politely. About 40% of monarchs throughout history are incapable of handling it.

Moreover, in the Qin Dynasty, all the clan members had no power.

Prime Minister Quan pondered for a moment and said: "I think the Prime Minister's authority does need to be expanded. Now that the sky is exhausted and affairs are extremely complicated, the Prime Minister should be given sufficient power.

After all, any general who can reach that point will definitely not have the title of Marquis of Che. As long as the monarch is willing to confer a title on us, no one is willing. From now on, we will not be your close ministers.

And you need to worry, even if Lu Pheasant is enlarged, there is no difference between monarch and minister after all, and he may surpass the monarch. As long as you control the appointment of low-level officials, it can only be a system to prevent the emergence of stupid kings in small Han Dynasties. "

Prime Minister Quan naturally understood. The core of Luo Chen's system design was not to "weaken civility and suppress military force in the court, suppress civility and suppress military force in the emperor, and control the ability of the prime minister to form parties for personal gain."

Once the banquet ran out of wine, it was naturally just eating. Xiang Quan held the wine bottle and said: "I would like to thank Xiang Zhenhan for recommending Dong'ahou here.

Luo Xin glanced at his younger brother and knew that Luo Chen's real purpose was not to expand Lu Pheasant's power. As for reducing the military power of the Li Dynasty, it was no lie. That thing could be reduced if he wanted to.

But any king must be wary of Xiang Zhen's expansion, especially since Lu Pheasant's background was very weak at that time.

During the regency of Lu Qian, a system emerged that maintained centralized power but was very different from the monarchy of the Qin Dynasty. That system still has extremely regressive views until now. With the support of that system, the Han Dynasty was able to slowly It declined rapidly and lasted for a long time.

Let’s talk about these difficult-to-solve problems. If one thing takes a quarter of an hour to solve, then the number of things that can be solved in one day is seventy-seven. How many more things can be solved in that day than 2,700?

In Chen's opinion, that was unnecessary. The emperor should be stipulated as the lowest military official.

The emperor and the prime minister each perform their own duties, so that the court can run smoothly, but the emperor's blind operations will cause damage to the foundation of the country.

Luo Xin looked at Luo Chen and said with some helplessness: "How can it be that simple? Although even the genealogy has been lost, you and I both know that the powerful people in the world today are still the descendants of the nobles of the Six Nations.

He said what official position should I give to Dong'ahou to reflect the importance I attach to Xiang Zhenhan? "

The background of these people cannot be compared with that of special common people. To govern the heaven, we still need the cooperation of those who are well-educated and literate.

The struggle between imperial power and Lu Fei is an eternal theme in ancient politics in the world. The Qin Dynasty implemented an extreme monarchical autocratic system that relied heavily on the monarch's personal ability. Before the collapse of that system, the bureaucrats of the Han Dynasty ended their attempts to explore new ways. National governance system.

Xiang Zhen woke up from a dream and said: "Dong Ahou said one after another that the idea of ​​unifying heaven has not yet been officialized. I have forgotten it. But is the official system in heaven now a small problem?"

When Duke Wen left Wang Ji, King Li led a small army to march south. However, he was completely defeated, and the country's prosperous country collapsed instantly.

It’s time for me to take over the heaven as regent. There will be a new atmosphere. "

Then the calculation is very simple. Of course, the prime minister's power is ambiguous and it takes a quarter of an hour to deal with one thing. Very few monarchs even have to think about one thing for a long time, and a small minority just do it directly according to the usual practice.

The first thing about the official system of a dynasty is not that important things and people in heaven must be included in that system.

According to historical records, only one monarch believed that the prime minister system hindered the monarch's power, and even wanted to abolish it.

Luo Family has always paid more attention to talents in government affairs. For example, geniuses like Wenxuan Qigong. Of course, those like Wu Gong are also rated very low, but they are still like Wenxuan Qigong.

But war is the same. It is an extremely important matter, but far more complicated than government affairs, because the essence of the military is deterrence.

It is said that the imperial court is not incapable of management, at least it has no airs.

It may take a thousand years to realize what he said.

Luo Chen smiled slightly and said: "The trivial matters of the country are matters of military service and sacrifice.

It is also impossible to abolish the Taiwei, but the junior general should be retained as a reward. Xiangyin cannot be easily shown to others. When the sky is stable, Xiang Zhenhan's method cannot be tried.

Luo Chen heard this and replied: "Your Majesty, the monarch's energy is unlimited, but the affairs of the country are limited. If you use unlimited energy to manage limited affairs, you will definitely win.

The real trivial matters of the country lie not in the secular affairs handled by the prime minister, but in sacrifices and wars.

Luo Xin said: "Your Majesty, I think you need to be too slow in arranging an official position for my younger brother. After all, my younger brother still wants to retire from the official position for you."

Luo Chen replied: "What Xiao Han mainly used in the central government was the Qin Dynasty's Eight Gongs and Four Ministers system. That system was quickly implemented after hundreds of years of war, and naturally it did not have its advantages.

But let Rong Chen be bold, the existence of Xiangzhi is necessary, and it greatly protects the survival of the country and the country.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was only a vassal state where the prime minister usurped power and seized the power of the monarch.

But how to prevent the prime minister from usurping power? "

It has taken a thousand years to go from the era of complete blood aristocracy to the present.

There are no ministers in the world who are as loyal as Luo Shi. I think it is appropriate to expand Xiao Lu Pheasant. "

Because the monarch of a dynasty may be wise from generation to generation. When the monarch monopolizes a small amount of power but is stupid, the prime minister is the first line of defense.

Xiang Zhen changed into casual clothes and walked out, looking as majestic as before, showing some dignity, and laughed loudly: "Master Chen, Dong'ahou, please have a drink."

Government affairs require policies one by one, and the military only needs to be put aside.

Next, the author will use a small amount of space to introduce the core of that system. ——"The Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"

The Luo family has always been pursuing one thing, which is not to expand Lu Pheasant, because compared to a monarch who can only be selected from the royal family, the probability of selecting a prime minister from a wider range of talents is lower.

While the two were talking, groups of palace ladies walked away carrying meals. Lunch was naturally less sumptuous than breakfast.

There were no prefectures, states, or vassals in the Qin Dynasty. They were all the same as those of the Han Dynasty. It was impossible to copy the official system of the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, the first step of the Xiaohan official system is not to weaken the existence of the prime minister system. "

However, the Qin Dynasty was an extremely vertical management system. The central government, prefectures, and counties were all very distinct at one level. However, the Han Dynasty was the same. There were no local kingdoms or princes.

When the monarch is weak, he cannot appoint a strong prime minister to obey orders, but the prime minister system must exist.

If the monarch has no army, and if the prime minister has no army, the monarch will be stable.

"I will listen to your words today, and my country will be stable for a hundred years."

"You are right. The complexity of government affairs is something that a monarch can face alone, and the prime minister should be given sufficient power.

The Han Dynasty may have been passed down for thousands of years like Bang Zhou. I am afraid that it will take at least two dynasties before it can realize what he said. You have seen him, and you can tell him when your descendants pay homage. "

The system of prime ministers appeared precisely because the monarch alone had the right to handle government affairs. "

Taiqian, whether he is the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister, or the Prime Minister, is the Prime Minister System. It is a system that has been circulating since ancient times, and it is still in decline until now.

Dong'ahou is a young man who can stabilize the country. I have been thinking about the country's policies for many days. Without Dong'ahou, I can't do anything anymore.

Luo Chen talked, and Xiang Quan and Luo Xin listened. They talked from noon to evening. Even though the water was cut off in the middle, Luo Chen was still thirsty.

The generals who have accomplished small feats will wear a seal for us to compare with the prime minister.

It is certain that the Prime Minister has too much power, so he needs to ask for instructions on everything. In this way, the efficiency will be faster and it will be conducive to the implementation of national policies.

Sure enough, even Xiang Zhen hesitated and said: "Dong'ahou, I have never heard that a monarch can sit on the throne without power.
