Chapter 872 Customized by hundreds of officials, transforming into dragons!

"Free gift!"

Li Yan raised his hands, sat on the throne, and looked at the ministers standing up straight below.

For the reformation of official robes, he combined the colors of the Tang Dynasty with the patterns of the Ming Dynasty, and came up with the following design——

The first-rank purple robes for civil servants are embroidered with cranes; the second-rank purple robes are embroidered with golden pheasants; the third-rank purple robes are embroidered with peacocks; The green robe is embroidered with Xixi; the eighth-rank green robe is embroidered with orioles; the ninth-rank green robe is embroidered with quail.

The first-rank purple robes of generals are painted with unicorns; the second-rank purple robes are painted with lions; the third-rank purple robes are painted with leopards; the fourth-rank crimson robes are painted with tigers; The eighth-rank green robes are painted with rhinoceros; the ninth-rank blue robes are painted with seahorses.

Looking at this change, one can't help but think of the classic line "The clothes of civil servants are embroidered with birds, and the clothes of military officers are embroidered with beasts. If we put on this skin, which one of us is not a beast?"

In fact, the term "clothed beast" was originally a commendatory term, representing official position and status, but later it became a derogatory term because of the inaction of the official.

So whether you are a beast or not has nothing to do with what kind of official robe you wear. Even if you don't embroider anything, the atmosphere in the officialdom is a mess, and there are still beasts.

Now that the new dynasty has just established, the atmosphere in the officialdom has taken on a new look, and all the ministers have begun to obey.

"The King of Yan has an order, the new rule of the king is established, and the chief ministers of the two great houses."

"The Ministry of Zhongshu is the foundation of government, with six ministries in charge, the Dudu Mansion in charge of the military, and the three armies in charge. Both civil and military affairs go hand in hand, and the world is peaceful."

"Appoint Cai Jing as the right minister of Zhongshu Province, Zheng Yipin;"

"Appoint Zhu Wu as Zuo Cheng of Zhongshu Province, Zheng Erpin;"

"Appoint Wu Yong as the right minister of Zhongshu Province, the second grade;"

……

Three purple-robed officials came out to listen to the seal.

The left and right Xiangguo of Zhongshu Province are all the first rank. At present, there is a Zuo Xiangguo vacant. The Pingzhang Zhengshi is the first rank, which is currently vacant.

These six are high-level leaders of Zhongshu Province, but now three are vacant. It can be seen that Dayan's lack of civil officials is indeed true. Presumably this imperial examination will make the scholars crazy.

Of course, even with the current imperial examinations, it is impossible to be promoted to a high position in a short period of time, but there are still a large number of middle-level officials in the Ministry of Education, such as the fifth rank of the left and right ministers, the sixth rank of the Yuanwai Lang, and the seventh rank of Du Shi and the inspector. Zhao Grinding, Guan Gou Cong Qipin, etc...

Moreover, these positions are all important in the center, and there are also many vacancies. As long as you can enter the Ministry of Education, you must have a bright future.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Li Yan first established the Zhongshu Province, but he referred to Zhu Yuanzhang. When he was called King Wu, the Zhongshu Province was first established. The left and right prime ministers.

Zhu Yuanzhang inherited the Yuan system, while Li Yan believed that in the process of unifying the world, the system of three provinces should not be used to balance each other, but everything must be implemented with the highest efficiency.

As for what to do with Zhongshu Province's dominance in the future, he may not necessarily make a similar choice to Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang killed Hu Weiyong, took the opportunity to abolish the Zhongshu Province and the prime minister, and took control of the common government with six parts, directly under the emperor's orders, and the centralization of power was unprecedentedly strengthened. ended.

In ancient times, the emperor and the prince, and the emperor and the prime minister were often in a mixed relationship of cooperation and opposition. The former was fighting for power, and the latter was seizing power.

Needless to say, the prince, the fight was extremely fierce, and the emperor and the prime minister also had three stages.

The first time was during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The previous law of increasing power that "no meritorious service, no lord, and no lord, no prime minister" was changed, so that the prime minister became directly appointed by the emperor.

The second time was during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, when the functions of prime minister were divided among Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province, which became a decentralized system.

The last time was in the early Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang directly abolished the prime minister system, brought the six ministries under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, and at the same time put the Yushitai over the six ministries, which not only achieved the purpose of diverting the power of the prime minister, but also improved the supervision mechanism.

From the point of view at the time, it was really good.

But it is a pity that the side effect of such a high degree of centralization is that the burden of work has become extremely heavy, let alone the emperor behind, Zhu Yuanzhang himself sighed because of the many words in the memorial, "It is difficult to be a king, and it is not easy to be a minister. Therefore, if you want to be frank, if you want it to be specific to the situation, if there are too many words, you can listen to it personally." In fact, there are too many memorials.

At this point in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yan once lamented that Li Zhi seized power in such a way that he couldn't handle it by himself, so he had to hand it over to Empress Wu to handle government affairs. In the end, he raised a power monster, so why bother?
The emperor wanted to centralize power, and wished to have all the power in his own hands, but there are so many things in a country, and the power is given to you, so you have to be able to take care of it.

So the prime minister was gone, but the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had to form a group of secretaries to share his worries, which eventually evolved into a cabinet.

Without the prime minister arbitrating power, the cabinet can still have powerful ministers. The key is that the instability of this political organization has also caused great obstacles to the politics of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, there must be a degree in everything. When the centralization reaches a certain level, it must start to decentralize.

Li Yan has greatly improved the specific powers of the next six departments managed by the Ministry of Education.

"The Ministry of Officials is the organ that manages civilian officials. It is in charge of the selection of ranks and ranks, the removal of officials through examinations, the award of awards, and the finalization of registration. .”

"Appoint Gao Qiu as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, from Yipin;"

"Appoint Yang Xing as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the third rank;"

"Appoint Zhu Long as the director of Wenxuan, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Chen Da as the director of seal inspection, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Li Yun as Director Ji Xun, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Cao Zheng as the director of merit examination, the fourth rank;"

……

The second batch of officials stepped forward to take orders.

Among them, Gao Qiu's expression was agitated, but he was unavoidably apprehensive.

My family knows my own family affairs. With his level, can he be competent for the work of the Ministry of Officials?
But Li Yan only said two words to him before, fairness.

He is going to strengthen the authority of the six ministries, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is the most important thing. The person in this position is the most important thing after the prime minister.

From the current point of view, in the Dayan camp, Gao Qingtian is the only person who holds the hat of an official, can be relatively fair, and can convince everyone.

Because of his good reputation, Li Yan also appointed a military officer position. For the sake of modesty, Gao Lian only wore the third-rank leopard uniform of a military officer, but he looked more eye-catching.

After the Ministry of Officials, there is the Ministry of Households.

"The Ministry of Households is in charge of land, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters. Internal government affairs are set up according to the division of labor by region. Today, it is divided into Yanyun [-]st Road, Henan [-]nd Road, Hebei [-]nd Road, and Shandong [-]nd Road. , under the four divisions of money law, treasury, warehousing, and water affairs."

"Appoint Chai Jin as Minister of the Household Department, from Yipin;"

"Appoint Jiang Jing as the servant of the household department, the third rank;"

"Appoint Zhu Gui as the director of Qianfa, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Du Qian as the director of treasury, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Song Wan as the Director of Warehousing, Zheng Sipin;"

"Appoint Tong Meng as the director of water affairs, the fourth rank;"

……

The third group of officials stepped forward to take orders.

Chai Jin suppressed his excitement.

Although he was very active in the establishment of the township army, he has been providing logistical support to the township army since then, and he has indeed made great contributions.

But the so-called closeness is different. In comparison, Jiang Jing, as the direct descendant of King Yan, founded Suian Academy together in the capital. Later, because he did not follow him to the north, he failed to participate in the battle to restore Yanyun. below oneself.

This also shows that this award is indeed a position determined entirely by credit, and it is fair and just.

Of course, Chai Jin is also very clear that the current position does not represent the last official position of the new dynasty, but more like a probationary period.

If they are not competent, there are still a large number of talents waiting eagerly to catch up.

Therefore, it is necessary to use the knowledge acquired in the academy to make myself qualified for the current position.

After the Ministry of Households, there is the Ministry of Rites.

"The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the five rituals of Ji, Jia, Jun, Bin, and Ji. It manages school affairs across the country, imperial examinations, and affairs between vassals and foreign countries.

"Appoint Li Gefei as Minister of Rites, Cong Yipin;"

"Appoint Han Jiayan as the servant of the Ministry of Rites, the third rank;"

"Appoint Zhang Shangying as the director of scientific research, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Bai Shizhong as the director of culture and education, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Liu Zhengfu as the director of the Yi Temple, the fourth grade;"

"Appoint Yu Shen as the head of the host and guest department, the fourth rank;"

……

This department is basically composed of scholar-bureaucrats from the former dynasty, and the average age has skyrocketed.

This group of scholar-bureaucrats was originally unwilling to be an official in the new dynasty, and they would get a bad reputation because they were responsible for the two masters. Until King Jian took refuge in Yanyun with his clothes and an imperial edict, and Zhao and Song were formally returned to Yanyun, they came out to become officials with peace of mind.

However, Li Gefei, the patriarch of the country, was a little terrified, and always felt that something was wrong. The son-in-law made such an arrangement, it seemed that the former scholar-officials had been reused, but if something happened, wouldn't the responsibility be entirely theirs?

Of course, now that Shilin is having a carnival, once the authority of the six ministries is strengthened, wouldn't they, who control the imperial examinations and culture and education, continue to flourish?

After all, even if the Ministry of Officials reassesses, the first officials still have to come from the imperial examination!

very beautiful!
Li Gefei sighed secretly, he could only go forward to thank him.

After the Ministry of Rites, there is the Ministry of War.

Although Li Yan divided another Dudu's Mansion to handle the actual war, the Ministry of War at this stage is undoubtedly the highlight.

"The Ministry of War is in charge of the national military and guards, the selection and award of military officers, and the simplification of government orders. It is in charge of the screening and simplification of prescriptions, the ranks of soldiers, and the number of military personnel.

"Appoint Ding Run as Minister of the Ministry of War, from Yipin;"

"Appoint Lu Da as the Minister of the Ministry of War, the third rank;"

"Appoint Yang Zhi as the Minister of the Ministry of War, the third rank;"

"Appoint Hu as the director of Wuxuan, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Duan Jingzhu as the chief of the driving department, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Zhu Hu as the director of the staff, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Yan Shun as the director of the arsenal, the fourth rank;"

……

If civil service is Yan Yun's weakness, military service is undoubtedly a strong point. Even if the military department is biased, it is still very important for the preparation and strengthening of the army at this stage, and it does not hinder the frontline fighting.

Because the teaching content of the academy at that time was that civil servants could also lead troops to the front line, and military generals could also appease the local people in the local area.

A big head that was so excited last night that it didn't fall asleep, stepped forward to listen to the seal with arrogance.

"I didn't expect my old man to have a first-rank official residence. This life is worth it!"

Ding Run was wearing a purple robe, thinking that a few years ago he was a lowly official in the imperial city who bought pancakes every morning, and now he has transformed himself into a minister in charge of the Ministry of War, with the corners of his mouth bent upward from time to time, it is really unbearable Can't live.

Compared to Chai Jin's worries, he didn't think that he would be overtaken by others. With the merit of rectifying Liangshan, as long as he made meritorious service in the confrontation with the Northeast Jurchens, would he be afraid of losing his position?

After the Ministry of War, there is the Ministry of Punishment.

"The Ministry of Punishment is an institution in charge of the national penalty decrees and the review of criminal names. It examines laws, reviews criminal names, and directly hears cases above the crimes in the Gyeonggi area.

"Appoint Gongsun Zhao as Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, from Yipin;"

"Appoint Pei Xuan as the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, the third rank;"

"Appoint Jiao Ting as the director of supervision and arrest, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Zou Run as the director of prison, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Le He as the chief of the penalty department, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Sun Xin as the director of sin redemption, the fourth rank;"

……

This is also the only one where the head of the department is not there. Gongsun Zhao is still on the side of the Jurchen tribe, but Li Yan keeps this position for him, and feels that he must belong to it.

There are too few people who can stick to principles in the officialdom. This kind of people may seem old-fashioned and unreasonable, but they are especially suitable for criminal punishment.

After Gongsun Zhao, it was Pei Xuan.

Kongmu, the sixth case, has accumulated a lot of experience since he joined the Imperial City Division. His character is upright and upright, and he is also suitable for an official position in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Thinking of his original plot, he took refuge in Liangshan and was also in charge of rewards and punishments, but Liangshan's environment of calling brothers and brothers was useless at all, and now he can show his talents.

After the Ministry of Punishment, there is the last Ministry of Industry left.

"The Ministry of Industry is in charge of civil engineering construction, utilization of utensils, drainage of canals and weirs, and mausoleum construction. All government-run industries such as civil engineering, water conservancy engineering, machine manufacturing, mining, metallurgy and textiles in the country are comprehensively managed. Tuntian Fourth Division."

"Appoint Ling Zhen as Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, from Yipin;"

"Appoint Meng Kang as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zheng Sanpin;"

"Appoint Tao Zongwang as the director of construction and repairs, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Jin Dajian as the director of Yu Heng, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Tong Wei as the director of Dushui, the fourth rank;"

"Appoint Xiao Rang as the director of Tuntian, the fourth rank;"

……

After the establishment of the official positions of the Central Secretary and the Sixth Ministry, the envoys next to him also realized that the change of the official system by His Royal Highness King Yan was obviously bold compared to the Song Dynasty's single power and multiple divisions.

The former ministers were empty posts, all of which were used by high-ranking officials for the elderly care. The real managers of the six books were ministers, but at the same time, most of them were concurrently held by prime ministers. The division of power was intricate.

At this time, while the Ministry of Central Secretariat is coordinating the management, it also increases the authority of the six ministries. The Minister of State has become a veritable official position, and each ministry has also become a key department with real power. If it really operates as in the system design, the efficiency of the central authority will undoubtedly be greatly increased. .

But whether this group of young faces can do the job is a big question mark.

Li Yan is very clear that the personnel assigned now are determined by their merits, but it is really difficult to keep their position after becoming an official.

After all, most of those who followed him were very young and lacked experience in martial arts. The training of the academy allowed them to raise a certain upper limit, but they couldn't make up for everything after all. In the next period of governance, they were bound to be eliminated. officials.

But this is the case when the dynasty changes. It is not like a stable peacetime. The succession of power is step-by-step.

That's why he separated proclaiming the king and proclaiming the emperor. This is the buffer period to verify the operation of the various ministries.

A relatively efficient national system will always adapt to the current social environment, instead of copying it and being complacent about how great it is, that is self-moving.

In fact, how many ancient people in history have caused turmoil in the world like that, and the people are in dire straits...

In view of this, after the Zhongshu Province and the Sixth Ministry, Li Yan has another arrangement for the Dudufu, which is directly in charge of the military.

"The official system of the capital governor's office was established, and the governors of the various armies were in charge of military and state affairs, military defense, border preparations, and military orders.

"The king of Yan led the governor himself, and he is the first grade;"

"Appoint Lu Junyi as Zuo Dudu, the second rank;"

"Appoint Hua Rong as the right governor, the second rank;"

"Appoint Shiqian as the governor of Tongzhi, from the second grade;"

"Appoint Du Xing and Yang Xiong as ministers of confidentiality, Zheng Sanpin;"

"Appoint Xie Zhen and Xie Bao as the special attack ministers, and they are the third ranks;"

"Appoint Fan Rui and Dai Zong as ministers of Qilan, the third rank;"

"Appoint Zhu Ting and Gao Lian as supervisory ministers, Gao Qiu is the same as the third grade;"

"Dingbu Wufa, ten people choose a fire chief, fifty people choose a team, and they are the ninth rank; a hundred people choose a hundred households, and they are the seventh rank; thousands of people choose a thousand households, and they are the fifth rank; ten thousand people have a chief and deputy commander. It is the third grade and the fourth grade.”

"Appoint Suo Chao as the commander of the Beiping Army, and Liu Tang as the deputy commander;"

"Appoint Xu Ning as the commander of the Guangxin Army, and Shi Xiu as the deputy commander;"

"Appoint Zhang Qing as the commander of the Zhenrong Army, and Lu Fang as the deputy commander;"

"Appoint Shi Wengong as the commander of the Ansu Army, and Guo Sheng as the deputy commander;"

"Appoint Qin Ming as the commander of the Weiyuan Army, and Xiang Chong as the deputy commander;"

"Appoint Luan Tingyu as the commander of the Ninghua Army, and Li Gong as the deputy commander;"

"Appoint Li Ying as the commander of the Baoding Army, and Ou Peng as the deputy commander;"

"Appoint Sun Li as the commander of the Weisheng Army, and Huang Xin as the deputy commander;"

"Appoint Guan Sheng as the commander of the Deshun Army, and Wei Dingguo as the deputy commander;"

"Appoint Hu Yanzhuo as the commander of the Yongning Army, and Shan Tinggui as the deputy commander;"

In addition to the army units, there are three naval divisions:
"Appoint Zhang Heng as the commander of the Linjiang Army, and Ruan Xiaoqi as the deputy commander;"

"Appoint Ruan Xiaoer as the commander of the Lianshui Army, and Zhang Shun as the deputy commander;"

"Appoint Li Jun as the commander of the Tongyuan Army, and Ruan Xiaowu as the deputy commander;"

At this point, the township army, which already had the embryonic form of the system before, was formally divided into ten strong armies, plus [-] naval divisions, and became a powerful weapon that Dayan would sweep the world in the future.

"Appoint An Daoquan as the history of the imperial hospital, the third rank;"

"Designate Li Qingzhao as Princess Yan, Mrs. Yipin;"

"Respect Lin Yuanjing as the king's father; respect Li Yanning as the queen mother;"

……

When civil and military orders were made, and even the concubine and parents were rewarded, all the officials returned to their positions one by one, and this time it was another tsunami: "I am waiting to thank you!"

Li Yan slightly raised his hand and frowned.

He could observe other auras, but he couldn't notice that at this moment, above his head, there was also an invisible purple flood dragon rising slowly like the rising sun, and quickly soared above Yanjing.

Fortunately, there was an immediate change.

attributes have been improved.

[Luck path: 40 (fortune is natural, due to aura)] → [Luck path: 43 (fortune is natural, dragon aura)]
