Chapter 856: Attacking Civil Officials
In the country under Lu Zhe's rule, her civil administration system has repeatedly changed according to actual needs. In the initial period, due to the lack of civil official relations, when Lu Zhe was unavailable, he basically occupied a place to retain the original bureaucrats, and later gradually recruited some people from the civil and opposition scribes to be officials, which can be regarded as setting up the framework of the civil affairs system.
Any force that rises from the grass, such a force will not have many civilian people available at the beginning, that is a kind of class limitation, in ancient times, it was a common phenomenon that it was easy to learn martial arts and difficult to read, and it was the status quo until the beginning of the Celestial Empire.
The rising power of the reckless class, only when the power has developed to conquer a territory, and the leader has a broad enough vision to recruit scribes for the needs of the civil affairs system, will the force change from walking on one foot to stepping on two feet.
Historically, the forces that only focused on force and neglected the construction of civil affairs have basically become stepping stones for others, and a careful examination of the history books will reveal that there are absolutely no exceptions. As the first Chen Sheng to rise up, which of the roles such as Fan Chong, Yellow Turban, Zhang Jiao, etc., has not become a stepping stone? And the people who step on their top positions are basically gate valve families.
The family does not have a hundred years or even a thousand years of history, it is difficult to call it "world", they are the family that has provided outstanding talents for each hero in various dynasty changes. Whenever the change of dynasty comes, the family will be active, and carry out a grand event called "good ministers choose the lord and take office", if some of the people who are the first to rise up are the vanguard army that opened the troubled times, they are the main force of the cholera world.
There are two kinds of gate valves, one is the Wen valve and the other is the Wu valve.
They serve as many high-ranking officials in the court, and they have long been in high-ranking positions to form a circle of collusion between multiple families, and they have used the convenience of power at hand to cultivate a group of eagle dogs. As an example, there was one in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. That is the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, after the collapse of the regime in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu of the Yuan family were able to become the climate before the princes of all parties, and occupied various advantages in the early days of the turmoil in the world.
There are relatively many military valves in the past dynasties, and the military valves are divided into large and small, and the only thing that the military valve and the literary valve have in common is that there are many protégés and former officials, but compared with the literary valve, the relationship network of the military valve is generally in the military.
At the end of each dynasty, the military lord was the incumbent military minister of the undestroyed empire, and could be the garrison of the local frontier fortress. It can also be the military heads of the state capitals, who usually ignore the duty of protecting the country, or watch the empire collapse under the riots, or directly participate in the destruction of the country, or they directly cause the empire to fall apart, and then the various military lords will compete for a new emperor.
The appearance of the family and the gate valve in the ancient pre-Qin era was rare, and even if there was a family or the strength of the gate valve was relatively limited. The historical stage of the rise of the gate valve and the family was in the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially the Northern and Southern Dynasties after the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties.
The establishment of Yang Sui was the beginning, and Yang Sui has been suppressing the family and the gate valve since the founding of the country. It's a pity that the effect is limited, and Yang Sui also ended up dying because of the suppression of the family's gate valve, which eventually led to a strong rebound.
After Li Tang of Longxi Gate Valve replaced Yang Sui, he was wary of the family gate valve, but Li Tang was worried that his empire would be like Yang Sui's suppression of the gate valve and the family's backlash leading to the collapse of the country. Li Tang also chose to go to an extreme. That is to cultivate new gate valves, defeat the old gate valves, repeat this action again and again, and finally the empire will be destroyed under the joint force of the new gate valve and the old gate valve.
Taking the Yang family and the Li family separately, it is because Lu Zhe has been looking for a balanced policy recently. Yang Valve and Li Valve were established under the condition that the national environment valued martial artists, and they were entrenched in the military to have the conditions to cause disaster to the world. At that time, there was no civilian official who could compete with or resist it, so a set of strategies for the civilian and military officials to form a balance was crucial.
The empire built by Lü Zhe. The current situation she presents is that the military attaché clique is too strong, and the civilian clique is relatively weak.
After all, the monarch and the country need to rely on strong force to continuously destroy and annex enemy countries. However, the powerful military attache group is often like a dynamite bag, and if the explosive bag is thrown at the enemy, it is a very good thing, and if the explosive bag is blown up in one's own hands, it is another matter.
Everything must have a set of precautions to take precautions, and many times it does not mean that it will become weak when it is strong to a certain critical point, but that it is strong enough to a certain extent, and there are too many internal grievances and entanglements, because a series of large and small entanglements or hatreds lead to civil strife.
The means of the martial artist to solve the entanglement of personnel are usually very direct, and the examples of private brawls and killings leading to the disaster of destruction are not uncommon, which does not depend on whether the incumbent king can be suppressed or unable to suppress, but the arrogance that will inevitably arise when the martial artist is strong to a certain extent. Once the contradiction of the warriors reaches the point where they want to use private force to destroy the other party's full door, in fact, the warrior group is already out of control, then only by giving enough pressure outside the warrior group can they throw a mouse, so that not only the king must have a certain prestige, but the warrior group should also have a strong opponent.
It's not a joke to say that the civilian clique of the current empire is weak, but in fact, it is also caused by Lu Zhe's own operation being too paranoid. The current civilian clique of the empire can stand on the ruling government and local civil administration, but when the countries are completely annexed, the level of war in the next few years will be reduced, and a new dimension will emerge, and it is time to adjust it slightly.
In the past dynasties, looking at the various departments, one will definitely find a phenomenon, whether it is the central or the local, there are far more departments in charge of civil officials than in departments where military attaches are in charge. In Lü Zhe's empire, there were more departments for military attachés than for civilian officials. Taking the three most important departments of the empire at present, the ruling government, the general's office, and the Taiwei Office are only the domain of the ruling government, while the general's office and the Taiwei Office are completely controlled by the military attaché. This phenomenon would be a good thing in the era of great development, but it is also destined that the civilian government will not have the confidence to compete with the military attache in the formulation of national policies and the central discourse.
The checks and balances that Lu Zhe wants are not to suppress the military attache clique, but to appropriately increase the voice of civilian officials, so that some civilian officials can also have the confidence to speak out when formulating national development strategies. Therefore, it is not advisable to let civilian officials meddle in the military department, and it is not even thought of letting civilian officials take charge of the military department.
In order to achieve the goal of improving the status of some civil officials, Lu Zhe's direction was to expand the scale of the ruling government. Some administrative positions have also been strengthened.
The ruling government has an archon, and the consul coordinates the civil affairs of the empire, and is responsible for the planning, supervision, and construction of the civil affairs of the entire empire.
Reorganizing the ruling government is not a simple matter, it is a huge project, and failure to do so at the right time will create many problems, and the wrong time may even plunge the empire back into chaos.
"There are more and more government affairs, and there are more and more things that need to be dealt with...... It's really ......" The expression on Xiao He's face was not only grateful, but also helpless. It's more of an overwhelm.
Lu Zhe didn't speak at the first time, as the ruler of the empire, he had too many layers to think about and worry about. What he was thinking about now was whether Xiao He realized that he wanted to properly suppress the military attache group before he came over to say those words.
In fact, it is not impossible, the officialdom of the empire is basically the status quo of civil officials being comprehensively suppressed by military attachés, even if he is the consul of the empire, Xiao He needs to use his official position to suppress people at some times, and the dignified imperial consul can't suppress the military attache who is lower than his own administrative level, and it is impossible to say that he can feel comfortable in his heart.
Xiao He needs to be grateful to Lu Zhe. He was directly appointed by Lu Zhe as the first civil official from the county of a county, first to operate all the civil affairs as a local force, and then as Lu Zhe continued to expand, he became the big steward of several counties, and then Lu Zhe established the country and became a hegemon, and he also became the ruling power. Now he is a great steward of the empire with a vast territory.
He has nothing to be dissatisfied with when his life opportunities can reach Xiao He's part, and he also has a minimum of gratitude for Lu Zhe, who has repeatedly reused himself, and has been working hard all the time. In fact, he has long been aware of the phenomenon of excessive martial arts and insufficient literature. In the past, Lu Zhe was more or less vaguely reminded, but Lu Zhe did not respond for some reason, so he stopped talking about it.
Probably after the fall of the Touman Group. Lu Zhe has vaguely expressed his desire to strengthen the status of civil officials on some occasions, Lu Zhe may be an unconscious move under his inner thinking, Xiao He and many civil officials have to think more, the civil official group does not know what kind of signal it means, and temptation and attempt have become inevitable.
Originally, it should not have been the dignified imperial consuls who took the lead in the temptation and attempt, but some low-ranking civil officials should have done it. If it is done by a low-level civil official, even if it will be wrong, the king's intentions will not make much waves, and even if the military attache group has countermeasures, it will not be too fierce, at most, the civil official who made the temptation will be belittled. Xiao He came to do such a thing, but it was different, it was equivalent to the first stage of the war between the two armies entering the decisive stage, and it was directly a bayonet.
When Lu Zhe withdrew from thinking, he glanced at Xiao He meaningfully, and then asked, "Tell me your thoughts." ”
Xiao He was almost trembling when he was looked at by Lu Zhe like that. He shuddered not because of fear, but because of fear, and both fear and fear have a "fear", but they don't mean the same thing. He was afraid of the majesty of a founding king, and he could also see that Lu Zhe had already sensed his intentions, so he didn't talk endlessly at the beginning, but used the short time to brush the thoughts in his mind so that he could come up with the most secure plan.
"The minister thinks that the administrative department dealing with civil affairs is too thin now, and it should be increased appropriately," Xiao He, who said this, looked at Lu Zhe, and when he saw Lu Zhe nodded, he continued: "There are various departments in the ruling government, but there has been no refinement of the departments under the management of each book, maybe we should make improvements to this point?" ”
is talking about reform rather than reorganization, obviously Xiao He also realized that it is not a good time for reorganization, after all, a bigger war in northern Xinjiang is about to break out, and the reconstruction of various places is also at an important juncture, if a large-scale reorganization is proposed, Lu Zhe will inevitably refuse.
"How to refine?" Lu Zhe had already figured out some clues, but he still had to ask.
Xiao He, who was not directly refused, mentioned the spirit: "The minister thinks that the ruling government can add a number of independent ~ independent departments, such as agriculture, industry, and commerce, which are currently relatively responsible for the establishment of a unified department, and those departments are fully responsible for operation or regulation. He paused, and saw that Lu Zhe showed a slightly surprised expression, and he didn't know what Lu Zhe was surprised about, seeing that Lu Zhe didn't speak, he paused and could only continue to say: "The administrative department for civilian criminal law should also be established to deal with a series of situations after the military does not assist in managing public security. As the number of foreign and foreign festivals that need to be celebrated increases, it may be necessary to establish a special department to deal with them. ”
Lu Zhe was really surprised, and summed up what Xiao He said, isn't it what the Jiupin Zhongzheng system looks like? That is, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry have all been raised. Xiao He proposed that those were the subordinate units under the original jurisdiction of the ruling government, but now it is to improve the specifications, and the refinement of responsibilities is only part of it, and what Lu Zhe sees is that Xiao He is seeking an administrative status for the civil officials under his command, a higher administrative status!
"To form a relatively independent ~ independent department, what kind of specifications should each book have?" Lu Zhe smiled, and looked at Xiao He with a smile: "Shangshu's status is the same as that of Zhonglang General, is it lower than Zhonglang General, or higher than Zhonglang General?" ”
Regardless of whether Lu Zhe had an early intention or an impromptu intention, Xiao He saw that Lu Zhe was in agreement, and now Xiao He can't be timid in saying anything.
"There are twenty lieutenant generals in the Wehrmacht Force, and in addition to the lieutenant generals, there are ......also the Tai Lieutenant Administration and the Shangshu of the General's Mansion," Xiao He said.
What do you mean? Even if the ruling government is seeking status, there are still fewer backbone officials than the military, Xiao He vaguely pointed out that if Lu Zhe has the intention of improving the status of civilian officials, it depends on how Lu Zhe defines it.
In response to the change in the status of civil officials, it is impossible to achieve checks and balances in the administrative system if it is low, and it will face a backlash from the military if it is high, Xiao He kicked the ball to Lu Zhe, and what to do is indeed something that Lu Zhe, the king, should consider, and it is also the time to test Lu Zhe's prestige.
National reform is no trivial matter, everything only depends on what kind of ideas Lu Zhe has, and a momentary idea will affect the future of the empire...... (To be continued......)
