Chapter 0453: New Imperial Court Structure

Li Yixin said that I don't think Zhang Wen and those people can succeed at all, as the saying goes, "Xiucai can't rebel for three years", people like them, they just say but don't do it, they have low eyes, they have ideas but no courage, and if they want to mess up a thing, it is definitely a first-class power, but if they want to do something, it is even rarer than the sun coming out of the west.

Of course, Li Yi wouldn't say such a thing, he asked Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, you said this letter, did Zhang Wen read it first?" ”

"No, it won't." Xun Yu said with a smile, "Now there are only 2,500 tiger soldiers in the Eldest Princess's Mansion in Quanzhou, and Mrs. Mu has to be careful, especially since this letter is related to the life of the eldest princess and the danger of the northern Xinjiang." ”

"Wen Ruo, how do we get back to the book?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

Xun Yu said solemnly: "The power of the Son of Heaven is the eldest princess's, the power of the imperial court is the eldest princess's mansion, the power of the hussar general's mansion is still the power of the hussar general's mansion, we will never violate the law of the Han Dynasty." ”

………………

Two days later, Mu Guiying's letter was again delivered to the hussar general in Luoyang through a flying pigeon.

Everything was as expected, after Zhang Wen received an affirmative reply from the hussar general, he really came up with a set of carefully prepared new court structure.

In the book, Mu Guiying gave a detailed explanation of Zhang Wen's proposal.

Once the eldest princess issued an edict to the world, took charge of state affairs, formed the imperial court, courted Dong Qinwang and revitalized the community, this blow to Dong Zhuo was conceivable. This is a clear declaration for the counties of Gyeonggi and Xijiang under Dong Zhuo's control, as well as for some of the prefectures and counties that are still waiting and hesitating. Dong Zhuo is a rebellious Han man, he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the world, and harmed the community, causing the Son of Heaven to be in trouble and the society to perish. The Han people need to work together to fight against Dong Thief and rejuvenate the country.

At the same time, this also pardoned all the guilt of Yuan Shao and the Dong Alliance, and Yuan Shao and the Dong Alliance immediately became national heroes, and everyone immediately gathered under the new court ruled by the eldest princess. Fight together for the Han community.

However, due to the principle of respecting the present and respecting a court, this new court was not rebuilt, but was divided into a part on the basis of the Chang'an court, which was mainly composed of Beijing officials who served in various places.

The eldest princess acts as an agent for state affairs, and the eldest princess's mansion is equivalent to the inner court, and is engaged in the Shangshu equivalent to the inner court, mainly doing Shangshu affairs.

The outer court is composed of the Taifu Mansion, the Hussar General's Mansion, and the Imperial Historian's Mansion.

Taifu's mansion is a prime minister. There are thirteen Caos in the east and west of the mansion, and they are in charge of the administration of the Han Dynasty.

The Hussar General's Mansion was in charge of the Han military.

The superintendent of the Imperial History Office is in charge of supervision. The Imperial Historian's Mansion is no longer subordinate to the Hussar General's Mansion, but is in the same column as the Hussar General.

The current three dukes of this dynasty are composed of Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong, and each duke leads the three secretaries, which is actually to divide the responsibilities of the prime minister in the past into three, but Zhang Wen changed the three dukes official system back to the three dukes in the early days of the founding of this dynasty.

At the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, the three official systems were the prime minister, the imperial lieutenant and the imperial historian. The Prime Minister is the Supreme Chief Executive. The most powerful and all-encompassing. In addition to the military, the lieutenant is not the only one. I don't care about anything else, it's just a routine participation in state affairs. Imperial Doctor is equivalent to the deputy prime minister. In the past, there was a convention in this dynasty that generally the prime minister must first be a royal doctor.

Why did Zhang Wen change the three-public official system?

In the past, the prime minister not only had to manage state affairs, but also inquire about the emperor's family affairs. So at that time, if the emperor had anything, he would first explain to the imperial historian, and the imperial historian would report to the imperial historian. Then the imperial historian reported to the prime minister. If there is anything to do with the prime minister, he will also be transferred from the imperial historian to Zhongcheng, and then from Zhongcheng to the inner court.

Imperial power and relative power are separated, but this is not immutable, and when you meet such an eloquent son of heaven as Emperor Xiaowu. It's a different story. Emperor Xiaowu wanted to build a meritorious career for all generations and seize the power of the prime minister, so at that time, the nine secretaries of the outer court directly listened to the instructions of the inner court. This is where the weight of the Inner Court Shangshutai begins.

Zhang Wen's meaning is obvious, during the revitalization of Sheji, the eldest princess will never be allowed to monopolize the power of the country.

The current Taifu of Dahan is Liu Yu. Liu Yu is the minister of the clan, the pillar of this dynasty, the uncle of the eldest princess, the former master of Li Yi, and his own character and intelligence are also the best choice of the Han Dynasty. Before his death, the first emperor worshipped him as the auxiliary minister of Tuogu, but unfortunately the first emperor died a little earlier, and Liu Yu could not take charge of the overall situation before the first emperor returned. If Liu Yu could return to Luoyang in time, Dahan Sheji would not have fallen into such a desperate situation today.

Now, no matter from that aspect, there is only Liu Yu who has the ability to control the authority of the country in the world, and no one can replace Liu Yu's position, not one.

The hussar general Li Yi led the military and had already obtained the command of the battlefield in the four directions. Now that he is given the matter of being a lieutenant, then all the military administrative power will be given to Li Yi, and the rest is the military strategic decision-making power.

In the three-public official system at the beginning of this dynasty, the military strategic decision-making narrative is also the emperor's, but it has a flexibility, such as encountering a weak emperor and a strong prime minister, and this decision-making power is the prime minister's. When encountering a strong monarch like Emperor Xiaowu, the decision-making power is the emperor's. Later, the power of the inner court, the auxiliary government of the great general, and the revision of the three-public official system, this decision-making power is the inner court.

Now the eldest princess must be a weak imperial power, Liu Yu must be a strong "prime minister", and Li Yi must also be a strong "captain", so is this military decision-making power held by these two people? No, it is three people in charge, and one is the history of the superintendent, and this superintendent is the leader of Jizhou Mu Hanfu.

Zhang Wen came up with such a three-public official system, which can be regarded as painstaking, exhaustive, and considers everything. If you want to fight, you need money and food, but where does this money and food come from? Northern Xinjiang and Youzhou are two difficult brothers, a pair of poor eggs, and only Jizhou has money and grain. Whether or not we can fight a war depends not on whether there is an army, but on whether there is food and grass to carry it. Now that the status quo is here, as long as everyone respects the eldest princess and the imperial court in Quanzhou, there will only be two wars to decide in the future, one is to counter the rebellion, and the other is to fight Dong. And these two major decisions are closely related to all three people, and even if there are some differences, it will not be too big.

Below the imperial court are the prefectures and counties.

Under the persuasion of Cui Lie, Ma Riyan, Chen Ji, and Yuan Peng, Jizhou Mu Han Fu will definitely respond, as for Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Yuzhou Mu Kong Ling and others, of course, don't say it, Zhang Wen is completely sure of this. Jingzhou and Yangzhou are far away, and there are Yellow Turban Army in the prefectures and counties, so it is inconvenient to contact, but they will definitely get a reply next spring, and Zhang Wen is also full of confidence in their response. Taifu Liu Yu is in charge of the military and political affairs of Qingzhou, and the hussar general Li Yi is in charge of the military and political affairs of Northern Xinjiang.

According to Zhang Wen's assumption, the two events of quelling the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army and crusading against Dong Zhuo should be over in two to three years, and his only concern was that Dong Zhuo had kidnapped the Son of Heaven and fled to the western frontier. The war in the western frontier scared him that year. Now is not like the past, in the past, the imperial court could continuously send grain and grass to the western frontier, but now it can't. Without more than five years of recuperation, the army was simply unable to expedition to the western frontier. The Son of Heaven will be in trouble for a long time, and the matter of the emperor will become very, very tricky.

Mu Guiying said: "Zhang Wen, Ding Gong and Yang Biao repeatedly explained that once the eldest princess told the king of Qin to ask for Dong and the Quanzhou court was established, the Son of Heaven and the Chang'an court would be useless, and the prefectures and counties would obey the wind, and in this way, our strength would increase suddenly." Whether it is to fight Dong or to quell the rebellion, they can form a huge joint force, and it will be decided in one battle. Therefore, if the husband agrees with this strategy of the imperial court, then immediately reply to the letter, and Zhang Wen will quickly send people to Qingzhou to invite Taifu Liu Yu, and Jizhou Mu Hanfu to Quanzhou to discuss major matters. ”

Mu Guiying said at the end of the letter: "The plan that Zhang Wen brought to the northern Xinjiang is very perfect, and it is obvious that many ministers of the Chang'an court have carefully planned and thought about it for a long time. This plan is beneficial to all forces, whether it is the eldest princess, Taifu Liu Yu, Fujun, or Han Fu, Yuan Shao and other state and county bureaucrats, they have all benefited from it. ”

"With the current strength of Fujun and Northern Xinjiang, there is no military decision at all, on the contrary, Fujun is constrained by the crisis of population, wealth and food, and it is a time when he is at a loss and in danger. The establishment of the Quanzhou Imperial Court helped Fujun alleviate these crises that Northern Xinjiang was currently facing. ”

Moreover, after the establishment of the Quanzhou Imperial Court, the husband obtained the military administrative power of the Han Dynasty and part of the military strategic decision-making power in the true sense, and the power of the husband increased significantly. The most important military administrative powers are the right to personnel, the right to allocate military funds, and the right to organize training. With this de facto personnel power, the husband can arbitrarily appoint and dispatch generals with a rank of more than 2,000 koku. Almost all the state and county armies subordinate to the Quanzhou court are under your control. ”

"Taifu Liu Yu does the prime minister's affairs and does what he should have done, but he is still a Qingzhou pastor, and many difficulties in Qingzhou that he is most concerned about can be partially solved because of the establishment of this imperial court."

"Whether it's Han Fu or Yuan Shao, all the people in the Dong Alliance have finally found the righteousness for their Dong Alliance, and the shadow of rebellion, extermination, and stench for thousands of years has finally dissipated from their hearts, and what awaits them will be meritorious deeds and a name in history. And what makes them most gratified is that Fujun, their worst enemy, has finally become a minister of the same palace, so don't worry about your strong force anymore. On the contrary, with the husband and the army of Northern Xinjiang, quelling the scourge of the Yellow Turban and currying Dong to eliminate the traitors has become an easy task, and it is no longer a distant matter. ”

"Of course, the Son of Heaven, the eldest princess and the imperial court are the biggest beneficiaries, because they have saved the Han Dynasty, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that are about to be overturned, and the lives of thousands of people."

"I implore my husband to make up his mind for the sake of the community." (To be continued.) )
