Han Zuo Gaomen

Three provinces and six departments
At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane was renewed, especially when it involved major national events such as the creation of the Yuan Dynasty, because the atmosphere of celebration in the entire Heluo continued until the end of the first month, and everything returned to normal order.

During the January celebrations, one of the more eye-catching events was the entry of the Zhang family from Liangzhou into Luo Guiyi.The Zhang family continued to work hard for generations to preserve the Hexi lineage. Zhang Jun's heir, Zhang Chonghua, also received the care and attention of the Taicheng Center. He was appointed Qing noble by Taicheng Secretary Pavilion, and presided over the compilation of the national history of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Of course, the courteous reception given to Zhang Chonghua alone was not enough to reverse the imperial court's response to the entire Longxi and Liangzhou. With the [-] elite Zhenwu Army as the vanguard, the Longyou and Guanzhong Wangshi assembled an army of [-], and challenged Zhang Zuo, the traitor in Liangzhou!

The regional war in Liangzhou was far inferior to the previous Northern Expedition in terms of scale and significance. Therefore, apart from the rebellion, the construction of many regulations in Taiwan Province was not affected by this, and it continued as usual.

The Heluo Center originated from the Huainan Governor's Mansion and took shape in Luoyang Grand General Xingtai.Although it has covered all kinds of state affairs in terms of functions and powers, it still cannot avoid the many long-standing disadvantages of the hegemony's governance, so it must go through a thorough top-down rectification before it can be transformed from an abnormal hegemony organization into a real government. central government.

At the beginning of the first month, at the New Year's celebration, His Majesty the Emperor announced to the world that the nine ranks and eighteen ranks of officials were approved, laying down the basic idea of ​​the central reform.

The Luoyang hegemony first inherited the Zhongxing regime in Jiangdong, which cannot be erased no matter how the new dynasty denies the politics of the previous dynasty.Although the slogan of breaking the former dynasty has been shouted before, in reality, how the former dynasty remains everywhere, the world is also eagerly looking forward to it, and many people even have a mentality of watching a joke.

It is easy to shout a slogan, but it is difficult to implement it.

After all, the order of the Xia Dynasty has been passed down to this day, and no dynasty or generation has been able to completely avoid the influence of the previous dynasty. Even after the Later Han Dynasty, after the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, the former Jin Dynasty and the Middle Dynasty still inherited a considerable part of the legacy of the Later Han Dynasty. In terms of the operation of the order at the bottom, the aristocratic politics that has been influential since the later Han Dynasty has been strengthened rather than weakened.

Because the new dynasty of Liang Liang wants to end the previous dynasty, it is destined to be a huge project.

It is a political trend that has appeared since the beginning of China and North Korea.

Prior to this, both the Wei and Jin Dynasties had inherited the rank and salary since the Han Dynasty, such as two thousand high-ranking officials and four hundred high-ranking officials. One of the distinctive features of this is that the rank of officials is directly linked to their salaries, which is clear at a glance.

However, since the disputes among the feudal lords in the later Han Dynasty, the so-called regimes were often only local separatist forces, and they did not have enough ability to centralize power and collect funds. Therefore, the salaries of officials were often in name but not in reality.Therefore, there is a trend, that is, when appointing officials, it is often just a false name to stipulate a rank, instead of bluntly stating the amount of salary.

This has resulted in the imperial court not only having two thousand high-ranking officials with a clear rank, but also a lot of extra officials with high ranks and vain salaries.When it comes to the fundamentals, it is actually economic strength.For example, China and North Korea were once indiscriminately entrusting officials to the point where they continued to prosper. If they really wanted to pay their salaries in real terms, the annual fiscal revenue of China and North Korea would probably not be enough to support the salaries of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

However, it is human instinct to seek profit. The imperial court decides products but does not pay salaries, and officials hold great power, so they must find a way to realize their power.For example, Shi Chong, a well-known tycoon in China and North Korea in his first year of college, is well known to later generations who made his fortune by looting when he became the governor of Jingzhou.

Many problems cannot be formed into rules and regulations, and they can be pushed to the root, which is often the reason for many ironic situations.The Daliang New Dynasty approved official ranks of nine grades and eighteen ranks, and the official ranks were directly linked to salary. This should be regarded as a basic operation in the eyes of later generations, but in this world view, it is a kind of pioneering work.

Assessing the ranks of officials and issuing salaries has become one of the great achievements of Daliang that can end the previous dynasty.This statement may seem ridiculous, but it really has an extraordinary meaning in this world.It should be noted that in the history of later generations, a large part of the reason for the great contributions made in the establishment of the Northern Wei Dynasty system, such as the equal-field system and the three-head system, was that the Northern Wei court could not afford the salaries of officials.

The reward of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, has been a slogan that cannot be shouted for a long time.This is because the central government's ability to centralize power is seriously insufficient, which affects the central finance. The so-called conferring of officials and titles is often just a blank check, and the specific profit depends on the specific ability of the officials.With such an extensive governance model, the administration of officials is naturally out of the question.

Today's Daliang court can be said to be a powerful center that has never been seen in modern times. The number of registered residents has reached 700 million. This is only from Henan, Jiangdong, Guanlong and other places. As for Hebei, Shuzhong and other places Systematic naturalization reorganization has not yet been carried out.

Although there is still a gap compared with the heyday of China and North Korea, the administrative capacity and efficiency of the central and local governments are far from comparable to those of China and North Korea. towards comparable.

In this way, it is a very simple matter to approve the official rank.This point has been confirmed, and the court officials have laws to follow. Although not everyone is as clean as water, there is a more concise and efficient operation method in the fight against corruption.

Another more serious problem in the official system of China and North Korea is the overlapping, ambiguity and proliferation of powers.There is a common practice of multi-management and ordering out of many departments, but often the real important tasks lack control and supervision.

The formation of this phenomenon is not a short-term evil.Both the Wei and Jin Dynasties were powerful ministers who dominated the country, and the instinct of the powerful ministers was to blur their powers and seize power as much as possible. The overlapping and blurring of powers was conducive to them grabbing and usurping real power.

Regardless of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, even if it dates back to the Later Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu’s great meteorite technique created the Han Dynasty, and his achievements in his life are worthy of praise, but the Eastern Han Dynasty that was left behind was sick in the womb from the very beginning. It was based on a major setback after Wang Mang's new dynasty leaped forward.

There was no shortage of famous ministers in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the emperors of the past dynasties had few wise ZTE, and the so-called famous ministers were not compliments in the usual sense, but just famous.The so-called death of the Han Dynasty by strength does not mean that the Eastern Han Dynasty was really strong enough to be insulted, but that it was built on the basis of strong ministers and tyrants.This point can be said to be vividly expressed in the separatist regimes of the princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Eastern Han Dynasty itself did not have a normal political ecology, and relatives, eunuchs, and scholar-bureaucrats trampled on each other to exercise power.In the process of this game, no one can be called the absolutely correct party, it is nothing more than the same party and the same party.

Although the stars of the Three Kingdoms of the later generations are shining, no matter which one is Wei, Shu and Wu, it is just a peace of power that adapts to chaos, which is not a normal political structure.It wasn't because people were incapable of intelligence at that time, but because of the way of the world.

Since the Daliang New Dynasty is advertised as breaking the previous dynasty, whether it is the former Jin Dynasty or the earlier Wei, Shu and Wu Kingdoms, including the politics of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is actually little value for reference.However, the establishment of a system cannot be born out of thin air, it must be based on the current time.Therefore, the prosperity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which returned to the unification of later generations, has become a ready-made template for reference.

Although the current Daliang New Dynasty is separated from the real Sui and Tang Dynasties, there are still hundreds of years in between.But the intervening hundreds of years were full of wars raging between the North and the South, and the exploration of the system can actually be said to have stagnated and stagnated.Even though the British lords emerged in the middle for a while, providing a system model that can be maintained temporarily, but after all, the personal gains and losses of the general public in the north and south cannot be taken into account.

In the course of thousands of years of history, although there are sufferings that have brought endless pain to the people of Zhuxia, it must be said that it is precisely because of the intermittent life and death of being reborn repeatedly that Zhuxia has the motivation and space to make continuous progress .

In the process of this progress, barbarians from far and near continued to rise up and become powerful for a while.But as the saying goes, it’s okay to take two steps, rise up in a moment, be rebellious in a sudden, and have not experienced the test of time’s mighty power. What qualifications do you have to laugh at a cultural heritage that resists both glory and shame and is still going forward bravely!
Because when the Luoyang Central Committee was restructuring, it directly proposed the flourishing template of three provinces and six ministries, and dismissed the post because of the power of affairs.

The chief of the Zhongshu ordered that Du He, who had been in charge of Taiwan's government affairs before, naturally deserved to be appointed as the Zhongshu Ling.The Shangshu was in charge of administration, and each of the six subordinate departments served as a laborer. He Xi, an old man from Jiangdong, and Cui Yue, a celebrity from Hebei, served as the left and right servants respectively.

Zhongshu Sheng and Shang Shu Sheng were originally under the old system of the previous dynasty. This reform is only to clarify each other's responsibilities, and it is not considered a creation.Then the separate establishment of Menxia Province and designated as one of the three central provinces can be called a kind of creation.

Just as Shangshu, one of the six ministers, was able to participate in the governance of the outer courts by truly dividing Cao's affairs, if one really wants to trace the predecessor of Menxia Province, it can also be achieved in the early Jin Dynasty of the Central Dynasty.But before that, the subordinates were either called provinces or directly called Shizhongsi, which was roughly equivalent to the original Shangshu, and they were only the emperor's cronies, so they were in an embarrassing situation.

Especially after the Nandu Zhongxing, the imperial power itself was weak, and the situation of the servants attached to the imperial power was even more difficult, either as powerful ministers and officials, or just an arrangement to put people away and praise vanity.

But now, the Menxia Province has been independent, and has been given the power to hold secrets, discuss state affairs, and even review imperial edicts and sign memorials. The embodiment of will, used to check and balance the weight of Zhongshu Province, is another extension of the monarchy.

As for the Six Departments of Government Affairs, it is to strengthen the system of the division of Cao since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, so that the six ministers can truly participate in the administration of state affairs, and the power of the Zhongshu Prime Minister is lowered again, which is of great significance to the strengthening of imperial power.
