Li Chongjiu said it magnificently, but in fact, it is a monopoly of power and dictatorship, and Wei Zheng is not easy to fool, where will Li Chongjiu be beaten in two words.

Sure enough, Wei Zheng's temper suddenly came up, and he flicked his sleeves and said: "As the so-called wisdom is enough to refuse advice, and words are enough to disguise wrong, are you using these words to push Weichen?" ”

Li Chongjiu said in his heart, he has not yet given Wei Zheng the heavy responsibility of the province, he is like this now, and he will pay it back in the future. Li Chongjiu had to be honest at this time, admiring Li Shimin, I don't know what kind of mood he felt when he looked at the edict signed by his imperial pen and called back from Menxia Province one after another.

Li Chongjiu said calmly: "It is difficult to start a business, and it is not easy to keep it, how can I hear that the Qin Emperor and Han Zu will decide everything by others, even if it is Li Si, Xiao He, and Zhang Liang, they are just giving advice and running under them." ”

Although Li Chongjiu's words were peaceful, but his words revealed an unquestionable attitude, even Wei Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, Li Chongjiu's eyes swept over everyone, and said: "Lone will not give the right to refute to anyone, and this matter must not be changed." ”

Li Chongjiu first drew a line, this is the principle, that is, the bottom line, and negotiations are not allowed.

A big drawback in the later period of the three-province six-part system is that the Zhongshu, the two provinces under the door, fight there. In case the officials of the two provinces do not get along, the decrees written by the Zhongshu Province will be refuted one by one by the Menxia Province, which will easily be used by the party and become a battlefield for kicking the ball on both sides.

There can be many people who participate in the discussion of politics, but there can only be one person who makes a decision.

Since in ancient times, it was impossible to achieve the separation of powers, but Li Chongjiu returned the decision-making power of the Menxia Province to the monarch's power, and handed over the Zhongshu Province and the administrative Shangshu Province to the ministers, so as to achieve the result of mutual checks and balances between the monarchy and the ministers. This is also the advantage of absorbing the system of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Chongjiu first stated his bottom line, and then said: "As we all know, Emperor Sui is a very smart and wise son of heaven, but smart and wise people are often very happy, so the following flattering ministers should be in harmony with the holy will, and there are three expeditions to Goguryeo, and the opening of the canal will hollow out the national strength. And Emperor Sui likes to act on behalf of the emperor and personally meddle in the affairs of his courtiers, so the decree is chaotic. Therefore, the abolition of Menxia Province was not the only cause of the Great Sui's demise, but the wanton interference in the matter of the two provinces of Shangshu was the real reason for the destruction of the Great Sui. ”

Everyone listened to Li Chongjiu's words, and there seemed to be another mystery, did Li Chongjiu want to intervene, Zhongshu and Shangshu two provinces?

Li Chongjiu said: "Therefore, my restructuring is not to fully emulate the old dynasty, nor to abolish Menxia Province, but to strengthen Zhongshu Province, and weaken the power of Menxia Province, and abolish the Shangshu Order, do you understand?" ”

"I beg the king!" Wen Yanbo clenched his fists and said.

Li Chongjiu pondered for a while, since the Qin and Han dynasties, there are countless precedents such as Wang Mang and Cao, especially in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the prime minister has become synonymous with usurper, so after the establishment of three provinces and six ministries, it is to divide the power into three to prevent others from arbitrarily. In the Sui Dynasty, in the early Tang Dynasty, Zhongshu Ling, Shangshu Ling, and Shizhong could all be called prime ministers and become civil leaders, which was the result of the separation of powers.

But so like the appearance of powerful ministers, Shangshu Ling was the first to attract people's eyes, and there was a saying in the records of hundreds of officials, Shangshu Province, everything is always there, and it is said that there is nothing in the world that Shangshu Province cannot manage.

Therefore, since the Sui set up five provinces and six Cao, Shangshu Ling, it has almost become a fictitious title, such as Li Tang Li Shimin served as Shangshu Ling, no one has served anymore, and he has changed to Shangshu Servant shè to manage affairs, and then even Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong has become a fictitious title, which is to prevent the dictatorship of his subordinates, so he strengthens the monarch's power and achieves the effect of checks and balances of power.

However, Li Chongjiu was not prepared to abolish the Shangshu Order and the Zhongshu Order, and he had already made it very clear that the checks and balances of power were all peaceful and stable in the world, and when there were no external troubles, he sought stability in the internal structure.

And now the world is divided, the Quartet has not been appeased, the first requirement is to implement the decree, the upper and lower effect, and have decisive execution, which requires a strong monarch in hand, so the emperors who were born in cloth in the past dynasties are not decisive and resolute. Therefore, Wei Zhengti set up a subordinate province to restrict the monarch's power, which was absolutely impossible for Li Chongjiu.

After Li Chongjiu pondered for a while, he finally said his decision, and said: "The official system of my Zhao State, the subordinate province is abolished, and the deputy official is abolished to the Huangmen waiter in the matter, and only six doctors are set up to correct the gains and losses of the chapter; Shangshu Province abolished the Shangshu Order, and set up the deputy official Shangshu left and right servants shè, Shangshu left servants shè, jurisdiction over the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the left servant of Shangshu shè, jurisdiction over the household department, the criminal department, and the Ministry of Industry. Zhongshu Province has one Zhongshu Ling, four Zhongshu waiters, and eight Zhongshu Sheren. ”

After Li Chongjiu said the decision, Wen Yanbo and the others thought about the meaning. And Li Chongjiu abolished the servant, after the Huangmen Shilang, the power of the province was not as good as before, almost nothing, Shangshu Province abolished the Shangshu Order, and after the appointment of the left and right servants shè, the power was weakened, so that among the governors of the three provinces, only Zhongshu Ling was left.

Li Chongjiu said that it is necessary to strengthen the province of Zhongshu, so how to strengthen it.

Wen Yanbo asked: "In the past, the official documents submitted by the counties had to be reviewed by Shangshu Province first, and then reviewed by Menxia Province, and then handed over to the Son of Heaven and Zhongshu Province. ”

"No, Gu has already been arranged," Li Chongjiu said with a straight face, "A qiē official document will be submitted to Zhongshu Province first, such as a qiē official document such as Song'an, Xie En, He Zhe and other unimportant official documents, and Zhongshu Province will deal with it on its own, leaving only the official document of the Song Shi to be presented to Gu." Before the official document of Zhongshu Province, write down the words of the proposed reply on a piece of paper, and attach a copy to the orphaned relatives to read. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was amazed, and the power of Zhongshu Province was suddenly raised. The main task of the original Zhongshu Province is to wait for the Son of Heaven to draft an edict, and at present, the official documents of various places are sent and forwarded, which means that the words and roads of the officials are in their hands.

Wei Zheng listened to the words on the side and said: "Weichen is worried about this, the power of Zhongshu Province is not too great, in case there are Jiān ministers who are blinded and block the way of speech, and the intention cannot reach the heavens, isn't it a repeat of the mistakes of the past?" It is better to order the provincial officials to supervise. ”

As soon as these words came out, several people's faces were a little unnatural, according to the current pattern, the first Zhongshu Ling of Zhao State is likely to be served by Wen Yanbo, doesn't Wei Zheng doubt Wen Yanbo when he says this? However, everyone saw that Wen Yanbo's face was light and light, and he was not gloomy at all, and he really had the bearing of a Zaifu.

Li Chongjiu nodded, this is also the trouble of all dynasties, the most famous Chinese book order in history is Yang Linfu, Yang Guozhong, the two blocked the way of speech, deceived the upper and lower without concealing it, and made the whole country, but Tang Xuanzong was kept in the dark, and the reason is here.

Li Chongjiu pondered and said: "Wei Aiqing's words are very true, and the doctors of the subordinate provinces should indeed supervise the actions of the Zhongshu Province. ”

Wei Zhengyan said: "But the provincial counsel doctor, but on the fifth grade, how can you question the master of the second grade?" ”

Li Chongjiu had a big headache about Wei Zheng's stubborn temper, and said that he still wanted to restore his position as a provincial servant under the sect in order to fight against the Zhongshu Ling Division. Li Chongjiu couldn't help but think that in order to prevent the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet that replaced the Zhongshu Province from holding the power to discuss politics was bigger, and several scholars were set up to elbow each other to prevent the first and auxiliary from exercising the power. But this is obviously not suitable, the future Zhongshu Ling, in Li Chongjiu's heart, is to take on the responsibility of Xiao He Cao Gui, when he is leading the troops outside, Zhongshu Ling sits in the rear, and deals with big and small matters.

But Wei Zheng is not unreasonable about the danger of Zhongshu Order's control of government decrees.

Li Chongjiu said: "Then order the counties and counties to guard, and supervise the imperial history to have a special fold to play, but it is not through the province of guò Zhongshu, and it is directly inherited from the lonely, so as to prevent malpractices, so it is decided." ”

Wen Yanbo, Wei Zheng and others nodded one after another, this is a good way, everyone discussed it, and they all felt that there was no big loophole, and they no longer had any objections.

But to Wen Yanbo and Wei Zheng's surprise, Li Chongjiu didn't seem to have consulted with anyone, but these systems were at their fingertips, as if they were born to know, could it be that there are really geniuses from heaven in this world.

Wen Yanbo, Wang Qi and others are all elites of this era, but at the moment, there is only the word "worship". How do they know that these views in Li Chongjiu's chest are the result of thousands of years of struggle between the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties and the monarchy and vassals. Countless emperors have tried their best to study this method of checks and balances of power to this point, and Li Chongjiu strode forward without much effort.

The system of the Zhao State was decided, and the civil officials were the ones who were most concerned about, who was the big official and who was small.

According to the official system of the Sui Dynasty, when the governors of the three provinces were at the same level, the Shangshu Provincial Shangshu Order was above the Provincial Servant of the Menxia Province, and the Provincial Servant of the Door was above the Zhongshu Provincial Zhongshu Order. In fact, this is also the embodiment of the power of the three departments.

Li Chongjiu dismissed the provincial servant under the door, gave the Huangmen waiter in the matter, and after the Shangshu Provincial Shangshu Order, among the civil officials, the remaining Zhongshu Order, the Shangshu left and right servants, the most respectful situation of the three, in the past, the three of them can be called prime ministers.

When Li Chongjiu first opened the government and built the government, he took Wen Yanbo as the long history and Chen Xiaoyi as Sima, which can be described as the respect of civil officials.

But now, when Li Chongjiu opened the government and built the government, he captured the three counties of Taiyuan, Hengshan, and Boling, all of which are large counties similar to Zhuo County, and their power has doubled. Things are also a lot more cumbersome, and it is no longer suitable for Wen Yanbo and Chen Xiaoyi to take care of each other.

Li Chongjiu said that the emperor is imminent, and who is the new Zhongshu Order, the left and right servants of Shangshu?

Li Chongjiu looked at the ministers, Wen Yanbo and the others all lowered their eyes slightly, so as not to be seen by Li Chongjiu the eagerness in their eyes. Except for the Jiān thief who plotted to usurp the throne, which civil official has struggled all his life, and his dream is not to be above the temple and at the top of the courtiers.

Li Chongjiu paused and looked at Wen Yanbo. In another history, when Wen Yanbo defected to Li Tang, he moved from Zhongshu Sheren to Zhongshu Shilang, and finally moved to Zhongshuling in the fourth year of Zhenguan.

And with Li Chongjiu for several years, with his understanding, Wen Yanbo is definitely well-deserved. (To be continued.) )
