Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1498
The establishment of the central system of the three provinces and six ministries of the Daliang Empire represented that the intervention and decentralization of power by the imperial power in the foreign court since the Han Dynasty had finally come to an end, and phased results had finally been achieved.

If the origin of the three provinces and six ministries is traced back, the predecessors were actually the courtiers of the king. In order to ensure the dominance of the monarchy and to form effective constraints on the foreign court, the emperor continued to delegate his authority to these courtiers so that they were eligible to participate in foreign affairs. In the administration of the court, the original system of the three lords and nine lords has been continuously impacted, and even they have the ability to restrict each other.

Of course, in addition to the creation of the central subject system of the three provinces and six ministries, the old system of the Yuan San Gong and Jiu Qing was also preserved, but it was no longer the main body of the central system but only a supplement.

Among them, Sangong has become a real honorary title to reward those senior and important ministers who stand upright.The Jiuqing, on the other hand, stripped off the original political courtesy and degenerated into a purely transactional office, which was used to supplement the lack of emphasis on policies in the three provinces and six ministries.

This can also be regarded as a return to basics after the prosperity has faded. Jiuqing was changed to Jiusi, and the five prisons, which are also transactional, formed a transactional official system independent of the three provinces and six ministries.

Three provinces and six ministries, nine temples and five supervisors, plus a Yushitai where rumors are played and all officials are supervised, constitute the basic structure of the central government office.

This whole set of customized reforms for Taiwan provinces and temple supervisors was gradually completed in more than a year from the beginning of the first year of Daye.This is because the center of the imperial court was born out of the original Luoyang Xingtai, and many creations have already taken shape. In addition to the approval of powers and ranks, normal administrative affairs have not been abandoned.

Of course, during this year, apart from the reform of the central government, the imperial court did not relax its monitoring of the localities.

As for local disadvantages, the biggest one is that the state power is too large. This has been a long-standing disadvantage since the later Han Dynasty. Taking Jiangdong alone as an example, the Soochow regime among the Three Kingdoms was established based on the six Jiangdong counties in half of Yangzhou.And Jingzhou has been divided into important towns in Shaanxi, and has repeatedly contended with the central government.

Not to mention, Liang Emperor Shen Weizhou himself rose from Fangzhen, built a hegemony, and finally created a new dynasty.

Therefore, how to effectively limit and restrict the power of the state governor will be a key issue for the long-term stability of the new Liang Dynasty.

Regarding this point, the imperial court mainly proposed three solutions.First of all, in response to the weakening of the administrative units at the state level, large states are dismantled and small ones are divided into borders.Similar to Shen's splitting up Yangzhou in order to obtain a Fangzhen foundation in the old years, it provides an experience.

This project is destined to be huge. In order to ensure local stability, it cannot be pursued overnight, because the first batch of prefectures to be split is mainly Hebei.For example, the original state governments of Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou were dismembered according to local conditions.

As the first year of the great cause draws to a close, there are about forty prefectures under the control of the imperial court. In the future, it will definitely continue to be implemented to ensure that no independent prefecture can no longer be as large as before to compete with the central government.

The second way is the custom of exile officials. The governor of the state will be evaluated once a year and tested every three years. According to the merits of the political performance, they will be divided into expropriation, exile, dismissal and other different treatment. Flow into other states to continue to serve abroad, or be degraded and dismissed.Set a term of one to three years for those who serve in other states to ensure that they will not stay in one place for a long time and specialize in the place.

The third way is to delegate powers.Previously, the local decree structure was roughly divided into three levels: prefectures, counties, and counties. The new dynasty of Daliang directly banned the administrative units at the county level.

The so-called famous religion is established as a name, defined as a title, named as a festival, established as a meritorious name, and named as a teaching.The so-called name can be interpreted as a noun in a narrow sense.You don't need to understand the inner mechanism of the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, as long as you don't violate the name, you can become a respectful and obedient citizen.

Nouns can be extended to concepts. You don’t need to know more historical details and the evolutionary mechanism of the world. You only need to understand that the Jiupin Official Law is a backward and decadent concept, while the imperial examination is a progressive and enlightened concept. Replacing the former is a kind of progress, there is no doubt about it.

In this way, why the prestige of the aristocratic wealthy township is called "county prestige" instead of county prestige or state prestige, this is a very interesting question.But in any case, at the beginning of the founding of the Daliang New Dynasty, the county was directly abolished and banned as an administrative entity, which virtually resolved a considerable part of the actual benefits brought by the county's prestige to the aristocratic and old families.

With the decentralization of state power and the abolition of county government, the sense of existence of the corresponding county-level administrative units has been greatly strengthened, and the county magistrate has also become a representative of low status and power under Daliang's rule.

In the past year, more than [-] central edicts have been issued, of which more than [-] are determined to be implemented. There are as many as seven hundred.

In the process of delegating powers, His Majesty the Emperor personally practiced it, showing the importance he attached to officials at the county magistrate level with practical actions.For example, in March, July, and October of the first year of Daye, His Majesty the Emperor visited Zhongshu Province in person several times in a row to preside over the selection and appointment of county magistrates.

It is reasonable for the emperor to have such selfishness.Tianzhong Academy has been established for many years, and has cultivated a large number of young and talented people, but these people may be limited by age, experience, etc., and have not yet reached the level of major events, but if they are appointed as a hundred miles, it is appropriate.

These people can be said to be true disciples of the Son of Heaven. Since they entered Tianzhong, they have been deeply influenced by His Majesty's ideas.Now that they are officially embarking on official careers, they are also able to spread what they have learned all over the world, and they will truly have a profound impact on the world.

Among the hundreds of officials inside and outside the imperial court, the ranks are approved. Among them, there is no official for the first rank, and the first rank is also a heaven and man.

From the six members of the first rank, Dazai, Taifu, Taibao, Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong are all Liugongs. As for the generals and chief ministers who are full of domineering flavors, they are abolished and not conferred, and the Liugongs are often only awarded as honors. very professional.

The second rank is the three high-ranking officials, and it is also the highest rank of official officials in Taiwan Province.From the second rank, he was the third head of the East Palace, the governor of the military regions and the governor of the Sixth Army of the Imperial Guard, and the three Yins of Luoyang, Chang'an, and Jiankang.

Zheng Sanpin is the deputy of the three provinces, the six ministers, the three guests of the East Palace, the leading governor, Taichangqing, Zongzhengqing, and the governor of Shangzhou.

As for the county magistrates, who are upstarts among local officials at all levels, they are divided into seven grades and seven grades according to the size of the county.At the same time, whether officials at the county magistrate level can grow up quickly is also related to the depth of the overall reform of the official system in Daliang.

The main reason why the division of states needs to be carried out step by step is not that the affairs are heavy or not, but that the imperial court lacks a reserve of officials with the experience and ability to govern.

Although Luoyang Xingtai also reserved a considerable number of talents before, the subsequent recovery of Hebei and Shanxi also brought a large number of talent gaps.Even if there is special training for young talents in the Secret Pavilion, in a short period of time, the imperial court still lacks officials who are mature enough to be able to push forward state affairs. They can only wait for grassroots talents to grow before they can continue to deepen reforms.

Throughout the first year of Daye, the Luoyang court was busy, including His Majesty the Emperor himself. As for the governors of the three provinces staying in the Zhengshitang located in Menxia Province, it was even more commonplace.

Efforts will naturally pay off. When the first year of the great cause is coming to an end, the reform of the central system has come to an end temporarily, and the central and local governments have begun to operate in an orderly manner.

Of course, the pace of reform will not stop here. For example, after next year, internal and external government orders and posts have been in operation for a period of time, and the advantages and disadvantages will definitely be revealed. Therefore, it is necessary to build the framework of the Yushitai Expand carefully.

Therefore, at the end of the first year of Daye, Li Hong, who stayed in Chang'an far away, was transferred to the imperial court and officially served as the doctor of censors. .

Echoing the direction of the regulations on government affairs, the imperial court also maintained a high-spirited attitude in the military aspect of using troops to fight rebellion.

The king division under the command of Xie Ai in Hebei is still stably and efficiently attacking and suppressing the remnants of the Jie State headed by Shi Zun, the son of the Shihu and the false king of Zhao, and driving the remnants of the Jie State out of the original Zhao County, Xinxing County and other areas, and driving these Jie The remnants of the country are completely confined to the border areas such as Yanmen and Daijun, and they no longer have the power to destroy the overall governance situation in Hebei.

At the same time, the Longyou Wang Shi also played triumphant songs frequently. After the original Liangzhou Prefecture advocated that Chonghua leave and return to Luo, the original situation of stalemate in Liangzhou no longer existed.

After Yu Manzhi took over the important towns such as Fanghan and Guzang left by Zhang Chonghua, he arrived in Longshang with reinforcements from Guanzhong, and immediately launched an attack on Zhang Zuo's forces entrenched in Zhangye, Jiuquan and other places. Zuo was expelled into the Hu tribe in Dunhuang, and finally conquered Dunhuang in early October. The chief of the Hu tribe offered Zhang Zuo his head in fear.

At the end of the first year of Daye, it came to a successful conclusion with the victory of Longyou.In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, His Majesty the Emperor, together with civil and military officials from Taiwan Province, watched a martial arts performance in the old Luojun City.This time, there were [-] elite soldiers from all sides participating in this martial arts performance. Although the number of top soldiers cannot be called the most prosperous, but when it comes to savagery and bravery, it is far ahead of modern times and not inferior to ancient dynasties.

After the martial arts performance, His Majesty the Emperor ordered all the troops to set up a martial arts lecture hall in the sky, and ordered all the governors, military mansions and villages to collect martial arts tributes. Talents were selected in the military examinations of six subjects such as Qi and Yingshu. The six subjects were selected and awarded Yamen and Xiaoguo Captains to reserve power for the country and be selected for military use.

This martial arts exercise took more than three months, and the internal and external armies were all active, as well as the people who were brave and happy to fight. Finally, only 360 Yamen generals were selected among the best, and they were awarded the title of martial arts.It was already the end of the spring of the next year, and all the military generals followed Fenwu Dudu and Runan Wang Shenyun's army to the south, and joined the former Jingzhou town soldiers to formally launch the war of destroying the country against the Chenghan regime in central Shu!
　I won’t write about the process of Cheng Han’s destruction of the country in detail. It’s not good to start the story near the end, so I’ll leave it as a side story.There are still things that have been overlooked. You can leave a message and mention them. Tomorrow, the main text will be finished, and then a few extra episodes will be conceived and updated one after another to make up for the lack of the main text. . .
