Chapter 775 System (II)

The cabinet system designed by Gao Yuan, theoretically speaking, is indeed the best way to solve the dispute between the monarch and the prime minister, first, it clearly divides the power of the monarch and the prime minister, each pays its own responsibility, each performs its own power, and does not interfere with each other; Second, the power of the prime minister to open the government and govern affairs was abolished, and the cabinet replaced the minister's office, but the cabinet is directly responsible to the monarch, and the prime minister is only the highest official of the cabinet, and cannot decide the appointment and dismissal of cabinet officials or officials of the six ministries, so that he cannot control the cabinet and the six ministries, and loses the opportunity to control the power of the DPRK and China, but the minister still has the power to independently handle military affairs and supervise the implementation of officials, so it can be said that the executive power has not been weakened, except for those careerists who are bent on monopolizing power; Thirdly, the monarch does not need to interfere too much in the administration of the prime minister, as long as he controls the final administrative approval power and personnel appointment and dismissal power, he can firmly control the power and does not have to worry about being overpowered by the ministers. Therefore, it can be said that each has its place.

Although Chun Yubo and Zhang Liang both know that there is no such thing as an absolutely perfect system, because no matter how good the system is, there are loopholes to exploit, and at the same time, it needs to be implemented by people, and if the implementation is not in place, no matter how good the system is, it is useless.

But from the institutional point of view, the cabinet system formulated by the plateau is indeed the most complete administrative management system, even if it is a monarch with mediocre intelligence, as long as it is not completely mentally retarded, according to this set of system to carry out, there will not be too much problem, and if it is a promising monarch, you can give full play to the advantages of this system, fully delegate power, and be able to do something big.

Although Chun Yubo and Zhang Liang are both well-informed people, they can't find any problems with such a system. Therefore, Chun Yubo nodded and said, "Wu Anjun, I think this cabinet system is completely feasible. ”

Zhang Liang also said: "Yes, I can't imagine that the lord can come up with such a system, which is really admirable." ”

Gao Yuan smiled, the cabinet system is ancient China after more than a thousand years of development, and constantly improve the administrative management system, from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, to the middle of the Ming Dynasty basically perfected, and then has been running to the end of the Chun, and constantly repaired and improved, before and after nearly five hundred years, is the longest lasting government system in ancient China, and the two generations of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a person who can stand up the emperor, support the power of the power in the court, whether it is Yan Song of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng, or the Chun Dynasty of Hekun, Failed to really overthrow the emperor, support the real power, and implement the cabinet system, which is naturally one of the important reasons.

In this era, although the cabinet system is an extremely advanced political system, it is still within the scope of social development in this era.

However, the implementation of the cabinet system is only a part of the new official system formulated by the plateau, and there are many other contents, outside the cabinet, the establishment of the Imperial Historical Observatory, responsible for supervising and supervising the behavior and administration of civil and military officials, the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory are directly appointed and dismissed by the monarch, and only responsible to the monarch, and set up a Imperial Historian, who is the highest official of the Imperial Historical Observatory; There is a patrol of the imperial history, and each county has an inspector of the imperial history, which is mainly responsible for the inspection of local government affairs and official behavior; There are also a number of imperial histories.

The establishment of a supervisory body is something that every country will do, so it is understandable for the plateau to set up such a body.

In addition, some other institutions were set up on the plateau as a supplement to the lack of work capacity of the six departments, namely, the imperial servant, who was in charge of the temple sacrifices; Zongzheng, in charge of the affairs of the royal family; the Inner Palace, which was in charge of the finances of the royal palace; Da Honglu, who is in charge of foreign affairs; Dali Temple, which is in charge of interrogating the criminal trials of officials; The lieutenant general shall pay the guards of the palace and the royal city; Lieutenant of the guard, responsible for the guards of the ministries and bureaucratic offices. Jin Yiwei, responsible for intelligence collection.

Some of these institutions are now owned by each country, while others are newly established, and they may not all be established immediately. Six ministries, plus these agencies, can basically cover all the affairs of a country.

Another important content is to divide official positions into three types: rank, rank, and knighthood.

"Posts" are the affairs for which officials are responsible for their duties, and the actual powers they hold are within the scope of "posts" to the Cabinet, the six ministries, and other agencies.

"Rank" indicates the rank of the official, that is, the standard and the height of the official, but there is no real responsibility. Here, the plateau introduced the nine-rank official rank system, which divided the rank of officials into nine grades, and each rank was divided into two levels, and each rank was divided into upper and lower grades, so in fact, the rank of officials was expanded to thirty-six levels, and each level also had a corresponding official rank name, and was divided into civil and military officials.

The official of the first rank is the first grade, the Taishi, the Taibo, the first grade, the Sikong Zheng, the second grade, the golden purple Guanglu doctor, the second grade, the second grade, the lower doctor, the fourth grade, the lower doctor, the lower doctor, the fifth grade, the lower middle doctor, the lower Zhongshun doctor, the fifth grade, the lower court, the sixth grade, the Fengzheng doctor, the sixth grade, the Fengzhi doctor, the seventh grade, the Chengde Shi, the lower Chengzhi, the lower Chengzhishi, the seventh grade, the Chengde Shi, the lower Chengzhishi, the seventh grade, the Chengde Shi, the lower Chengshi, the eighth grade, the Linshi, the Hanlin Shi, the eighth grade, the undertaker, the ninth grade, the ninth gradeThe lower rank is from the ninth rank to the top of the Dengzuo Shi, the lower is the first rank of the general of the dragon and the tiger of the general, the general of the lower Jin Wuwei is from the first rank of the general of Fengguo, the general of the auxiliary country is the second rank of the hussar general, the general of the second rank of the hussar gets off the car and rides the general, from the second rank of the general of the Xiao cavalry, the general of the flying cavalry, the general of the third rank of the expedition to the east, the general of the west of the west, the general of the third rank of the expedition to the south, the general of the north from the third grade, the general of the fourth rank of the Wei Guo, the general of the lower Anguo, the general of the fourth rank of the Zhenguo, the general of the fifth grade, the general of Guangwei, the general of Mingwei, the general of the fifth grade, the general of Xuanwei, the general of the sixth grade, the general of the sixth grade, the general of the left and the right general, the seventh rank of the Chengxin Lieutenant, the lower Zhaoxin Lieutenant, the seventh rank of the Zhongwu Lieutenant, the lower Zhongxian Lieutenant Zheng, the eighth lieutenant of ZhongxianZhongyong Lieutenant Lieutenant Zhongyi from the Eighth Rank to Xiu Wu Lieutenant to Lower Dun Captain Zheng Ninth Rank Shang Baoyi Lieutenant to Lower Righteous Captain from Ninth Rank to Yong Lieutenant and Lower Lieutenant to Wei Lieutenant, so in the future, ordinary officials usually have two official names and one official title, which is the official body responsibility; A rank is the rank of the official. The official position and rank are not hereditary, and the "knight" is a kind of honorary title, which has no real power, but can correspond to the official rank, and the title can be awarded to the official, as an additional seal for the official, of course, it is also added to a salary, or a gift title after the official retires; It can also be granted to ordinary people, merchants, and clans in reward for their contributions to the state, which is equivalent to improving their political status and enjoying certain privileges; And there are two kinds of titles, one can be hereditary, and the other is not.

"Jue" is divided into five levels, namely: Gonghou Bozi Nan. And each level is divided into three classes, of which the four barons are divided into pavilions, townships, and counties, taking the marquis as an example, that is, they are divided into pavilions, townships, and counties; The dukes are divided into counties, counties, and states. The total is fifteen knighthoods. The highest Guogong is the first product, and the lowest pavilion man is from the fifth grade.

Although the title has no real power and is not considered a high-ranking official, it is still quite attractive because the title of the five lords is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. And this is also the advantage of the plateau being the king, if the plateau is still Wu Anjun, he must not be able to use the title of "Gonghou Bozinan" as a title.

The separation of officials' positions, ranks, and titles is an important progress of the ancient Chinese official system, making the officials' duties and rights more perfect and distinct, and much better than the previous one, although in another time and space, this system was not completed until the middle of the Han Dynasty, but the plateau is now unceremoniously used first.

At the local level, the county system is still mainly used, but in some important areas, there is also a state level, which is smaller than the county and larger than the county, but does not directly govern the county. Therefore, it is actually divided into three levels: county, state, and county, and the highest official of the county is the county guard, and the three products are positive; The highest official of the state is Taishou, who is the fourth grade; The highest official of the county is the county order, which is the fifth grade.

Officials of various counties, prefectures, and counties should be responsible for the military, political, and financial affairs of each region, and Gao Yuan had also considered separating local military, political, and financial affairs to weaken local powers, but now is not a peaceful season for the unification of the whole world, but a four-legged stand, so in order to improve the administrative efficiency of the localities, Gao Yuan decided to adopt the local system of integrating the military, government, and finance.

Compared with the official position system, the change in the military system is much smaller, because after Gao Yuan became the ruler of Daijun, a new military system was established, which is still basically usable, and there is no need to make too many changes, as long as some local adjustments are made. The main changes are in two points: first, the establishment of the army has been re-divided; Second, the official rank of the armed forces should be commensurate with the newly established official ranks.

However, the first thing to set up is the central military management body, which used to be directly responsible for military affairs by Gao Yuan, but now it is necessary to set up a formal body. Therefore, the plateau set up the general's office in the middle of the court, the rank is parallel to the six ministries, and it is managed by the cabinet in peacetime, and manages the military, political and military affairs together with the military department, but in wartime, the general's office is directly responsible for the plateau, and the experienced veteran is the general, and the general is responsible for the selection of generals, the assessment and training of the army, and the change of defense of the army; In wartime, he is responsible for formulating tactics, deploying troops, and recruiting troops.

The establishment of the army is still dominated by the corps, but the name of the corps is not to use the name of the place, but to use the number, and each corps has a military-level establishment, each corps has five to seven armies, and the number of each corps is 5,000 to 8,000 people. The highest official of the legion is called the chief general, and he is the third rank; The highest official of the army is the general and the fourth rank; And so on.

Among the several corps previously established, the Daijun Corps will be split into the first and second corps, which will be stationed in the Lingshou area to protect the safety of the capital, and the Shanggu Corps will be changed to the third corps, which will be stationed in Dongyang County; The Yanmen Legion was changed to the Fourth Legion, stationed in Yanmen and Yunzhong; The Yunzhong Legion was changed to the Fifth Legion, stationed in Yuyang and Julu, and the Sixth Legion was expanded to garrison Daijun.

In peacetime, each army was stationed in various places, but in wartime, several army corps were combined to form an army, which was commanded by a commander sent by the General's Office. Or a legion is the main one, drawing some troops from other legions.

In addition, in New Turinshou, there were also three armies: the Praetorian Guard, the Guard, and the Weining Army, and the Praetorian Guard was responsible for protecting the safety of the palace and the royal city; The Guards are responsible for the security of the ministries and offices; The Weining Army was responsible for the safety of the rest of Lingshou City, as well as the surrounding villages and towns.

The entire official system, Gao Yuan wrote three volumes, it can be said that it basically contains all aspects, but it does not include the system in the palace, in fact, Gao Yuan also has some considerations for the palace system, but the palace system is impossible to discuss with foreign ministers, so Gao Yuan did not take it out, waiting to return to the back house, and then discuss with his wives and concubines.

But that's it, it took Chun Yubo and Zhang Liang nearly half an hour to completely read all the systems. After reading it, in addition to admiring the cabinet system designed by Gao Yuan, the two of them have no objections to other systems, and it can be seen that Gao Yuan has indeed spent a lot of effort to formulate such a relatively perfect official system. The two basically had no objections, believing that it could be implemented.
