Even talented people like Xiao He and Zhang Liang cannot think that far, but everyone knows that once the status of the imperial court is improved, the status of these people will be greatly improved.
Once an official with a thousand stone is sent abroad, he can even serve as the state minister of two thousand stone, and then be transferred to the county governor of two thousand stone, and finally return to Chang'an to serve as the ninth minister. This is the most perfect promotion process.
The best thing is that these adjustments affect the officials within the kingdom, not the princes and kings.
The Prime Minister is not a permanent person at first glance. For the current Han Dynasty, the emperor and the emperor have not yet been completely distinguished. The only person who is above the princes and kings is the Prime Minister.
As the second emperor, the prime minister's status is extremely high.
Except for princes and kings with real power like King Zhao, princes and kings with weaker national power would not dare to offend the prime minister.
The reason why Luo Chen did this was because he knew that the current seemingly peaceful scene would not last long. During the Zhou Dynasty, the princes were killing each other like crazy. Why?
Because the two big countries with similar size and no political trust were too close together, and the Zhou royal family did not have the ability to reconcile conflicts, the situation in the world was out of control.
The current central court has much stronger control than the original Zhou royal family. It no longer needs so many princes and kings across counties and counties, especially in such heartland places as Korea and Wei.
Lu Pheasant was a little tired from talking, so he asked Luo Xin to read out the assistants and subordinates assigned to these senior officials.
When Luo Xin's voice stopped, the new official system of the imperial court was read out to everyone. Although the official system reduced the number of officials, it became more organized and muddy.
He is especially good at enriching the country. Now that the world is exhausted, if there is no talented person like Zheng Junkang, he will definitely be able to prosper. I would like to congratulate the Queen Mother. At this difficult time, there is no such virtuous minister in the country. That is the Queen Mother’s luck. Little Han What a blessing. "
Thinking of that, Zhang Liang couldn't help but look at Luo Xin and Luo Chen. What on earth were the Queen Mother and those two thinking?
Dang, Dang, Dang!
My real smallest adjustment is to slightly increase the status of the Prime Minister’s Assistant Officer. Among the original four ministers, the only ones who can really relate to governing the country are Neishi and Duofu. Duofu is more likely to be from the royal family. Money bag.
Zhang Liang thought for a moment, just from what he heard now, it is not a very large central official system. At the court level alone, there will be about 80% fewer officials. Even if there are no concurrent posts, it is still Minimal stretch.
What a shame, Zhu Xia, he was really embarrassed for his reputation and favor. He had only known Dong Ahou for a short time, yet he was so reserved that he could say such disgusting words.
If the trend of Ji Zhao's later generations is followed, the status of the vassal state of the Han Dynasty, which will eventually become a useless tribute, is considered low, but the situation is the same now.
Xiao He heard this and said: "I just want to inform you that I am also going to send the prime minister to the Lingnan Kingdom to let the King of Lingnan reorganize the country.
Freed from complicated and effective affairs, Xiao He had to have less time to think about future plans.
————
From the most basic theory, Zhao Tuo has no chance of becoming emperor.
Zhu Xia said with a look of shame on his face: "I am just recommending talents to the country, but the Queen Mother has given me such a generous favor. I really feel like I can repay you."
Fengchang and Zongzheng merged into one, and he was still called Zongzheng. He was in charge of the affairs of the entire clan, reported directly to the emperor, and accepted the emperor's orders, which was the prime minister's dispatch.
Moreover, coupled with the idea of respecting the imperial court and demoting the vassal state one after another, the purpose was to gather all the talents from Shandong to Chang'an.
Luochen peeled off all the overlapping functions and clarified the specific responsibilities of each of the four ministers. It was clear at a glance who did bad things and who did bad things, and it was difficult to shirk the blame.
The existence of the Luo family slightly sublimated Zhao Tuo's concept, and stripped away part of the power belonging to the emperor. Until Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were crowned, the prestige was not low enough to be lower.
The bell rang again, and the courtiers hurriedly left Weiyang Palace. Xiao He and Luo Xin looked at the scene side by side.
Those adjustments were like a bomb that knocked everyone out. Those who hadn't were suddenly promoted, and at least their salary had plummeted. Those who hadn't suddenly found that their entire government agencies had been merged.
If Zhu Xia knew what those people were thinking, he would probably just want to laugh at you. You are lying again. Dong'ahou has no talent in the first place. If he can recall Yinghou again, the two of them will be enemies.
Xiao He nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Alas, the Marquis of Fou is so low-talented, and my regent Xiaozheng is already old. It is a pity that I will add two hundred households for the sake of the Marquis of Fou.
Knew it.
That was Emperor Zhou's dereliction of duty, and Xiao Han would definitely allow that to happen.
What a smart person I am. I can see at a glance that I am preparing to gather local power. I set up the airs now. Then I will not be able to directly take over the empty areas. I will fall into the Qin Dynasty, which was marked as the Eight Kingdoms. The Eight Kingdoms But it's still the same predicament as before.
The joy on Xiao He's face was completely concealed, and he asked Luo Xin directly: "Dong'ahou, Fenghou recommended you to be the prime minister. Your talents are the most vague to me, and I also think you are the most suitable candidate. You What do you think?"
Luo Xin smiled and said: "Eshan, that's a blessing!"
Zhu Xia still had no problem and directly said loudly: "I am brave, Dong'ahou is seven times lower in talent. Although I have been in contact with Dong'ahou for a long time, the strategy in Dong'ahou's chest is a hundred times better than that of me.
The small hall became quiet for a moment, and everyone was talking about it. But when they turned around for a moment, they found that although the adjustment was small, the actual adjustment of superiors and responsibilities was still clear.
At that time, Bang Zhou created feudal lords with the surname Ji in the land of Wu and Yue. As a result, Wu was assimilated by the local people, and his hair and tattoos were cut off. It was not until Xuangong brought Wu back into Zhao Tuo's system that he gradually understood Zhou Li.
Zhu Xia Yi Lin, Zheng Jun brought to Lingnan less than hundreds of thousands of people, I know that there are not many people alive in those years, there seems to be no deep meaning in the words of the Queen Mother.
Xiao He said solemnly: "Master, the burden of heaven is on your shoulders."
As for which ones are considered as vassals of Zhao Tuo and which are considered as vassals of Libang, there is naturally no clear definition. In short, it is a definition and system that can allow Zhao Tuo to flourish.
The entire imperial court became a very flat governing body. Things such as offering sacrifices to heaven were added, which had little practical significance for the resumption of production in heaven. The prime minister took over a small amount of government affairs. All the official offices above the prime minister's office were promoted through the promotion of the four ministers. , then get less decision-making power.
Zheng Jun was sitting at the bottom. After hearing this, he clapped his hands and said with emotion: "The Marquis of Feng is really humble and upright. He resigned from his position and still recommended it to his colleagues. He is willing to recommend colleagues who have no talent. I am really pleased. Such a wise minister If it is a reward, can it still stand in heaven?
All the officials under the small hall had the same expression as expected. As soon as they took out the official system and saw the position of prime minister with such little power, few people guessed that it must be Dong'ahou Luoxin's position.
King Zheng Jun of Lingnan is the most common existence in the current order. I am a member of the Zhao Tuo system, but at the same time I am the king of the Lifu vassal, and I am completely the same existence as the Liu family clan king.
Before those matters were announced, the most important thing was of course not to confirm the candidate for the prime minister. Xiao He asked with a smile: "Marquis Fou, you have low morals and high expectations. You have been the prime minister since the founding of the Han Dynasty. I think the one who is the prime minister is one of the seven." .”
To remember the ancestors of the Central Plains is to forget that Zhao Tuo’s roots are in the Central Plains. "
Luochen believes that it is beneficial to the governance of the country, the promotion of officials, the construction of small water conservancy facilities, the land, money and food in the sky, and the management of commerce in the sky, which of these are crucial things.
Marquis Fou, when you say you want to choose a virtuous minister, do you know who the virtuous minister is in your heart?
The former Han Dynasty expanded to a smaller world, and there may be a few vassal states, such as the Western Region mentioned by the ancestor Su Wang, but Zhao Tuo's vassal state and Li Bang's vassal state are the same.
Even though those people work above the Prime Minister's Palace, the status and treatment of the Four Ministers must be implemented.
Although Luo Xin also worshiped the prime minister later, he was completely the same as the one now. In the whole sky, Luo Xin was now just one person above others.
At least at the current period, it is absolutely a lie that Luo and the emperor share the same heaven. Of course, the Luo family will use that convenience to do things. The existence of the Han court is not an experiment.
When Zhu Xia heard the words, he was not agitated at all. He bowed to him with almost no determination at all: "Mother, I am an old man. You have created an innovative system. The importance of the prime minister is more important than Mount Tai. My current body can really bear such a heavy responsibility." Ah, please choose another virtuous minister."
The vassal state of Zheng Jun was directly managed by the emperor and the junior prime minister, while the vassal state of Libang was managed by the Four Ministers organization, so the difference was obvious.
Luo Xin bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, please give me your grace. In addition to dedicating myself to you, I have nothing more to say than myself."
That has no positive significance for the subsequent recovery. The subordinate officials need to ask the prime minister for instructions on everything, and the prime minister needs to ask Xiao He for instructions on everything.
Those words were spoken in a loud and weak voice, but there was no hint of old age at all.
The harmonious relationship between the king and his ministers was something that everyone else in the small hall envied.
As a young prime minister, you must be the most vague to all the ministers in the palace. "
This is a complete set of supporting facilities. Zhu Xia suddenly thought of something and asked quickly: "Mother, does Lingnan Kingdom need to inform the little prime minister about this? According to what you said, Lingnan Kingdom needs corresponding institutions. .”
During the institutional reform in the early Han Dynasty, few scholars focused on the reduction of imperial power to argue that Zheng Jun decentralized power in order to restore the exhausted heaven. However, the author definitely agrees with that point, and on the contrary, Through institutional reforms, Lu Pheasant actually weakened the centralization of power from within the system.
Then we have to mention the similarities and similarities between the two concepts of centralization and monarchy. Centralization is a broader concept. Zheng Jun is an entire group with the emperor as the center. In the struggle between imperial power and prime ministerial power, , the imperial power may have given way slightly, but the whole Lu Pheasant is taking small steps backward.
Luo Chen also made some minor adjustments to the eight ministers responsible for the emperor's security. It would be better to leave those things to the emperor himself.
The emperor may not have some concessions in the center, but he is even less majestic in the sky. You can't say that compared to the Qin Dynasty, the degree of monarchy in the Han Dynasty was so low, but the degree of centralization of power in the Han Dynasty definitely surpassed that of the Qin Dynasty. , only by distinguishing those two concepts can we understand the historical trend of the Han Dynasty. ——"The Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
Then add two hundred households for the Marquis of Fou. "
Strategic plans for heavenly matters cannot be proposed and carried out by ineffective governing bodies.
