Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 664

It's night, Chengdu.

In the hall, Liu Chan fought at night under bright lights, using the Jiangyuan Guangu case to think about the institutional problems of the great man.

After all, Dong Yun was appointed as the doctor of imperial history, held festivals, inspected local counties and counties, promoted Fei Shi to be the prefect of Shu County, and rectified the problems of Shu County officials, but solved the target problem, but did not solve the fundamental problem.

Solving the fundamental problem or preventing the recurrence of such incidents is the most important thing, but how to prevent it is a question that requires in-depth thinking. Of course, it cannot be considered apart from the political system of the country.

First of all, according to the political system of the Han Dynasty, it was deformed at the beginning of its founding, and most of the political affairs were in the hands of Zhuge Liang.For this reason, the Great Han established a very special institution, the Inner Government, to facilitate war mobilization. The Great Han appointed court officials to concurrently serve as inner government officials, and obeyed Zhuge Liang's orders, forming an inner government system.

For example, Ma Liang, the governor of Qinzhou, and the governor of the inner palace, Zhuge Liang formed the leadership over him in the palace.During the first Northern Expedition, Wei Yan also served as Sima of the inner government, and he also obeyed Zhuge Liang's orders.

Correspondingly, there are administrative officials, and there are naturally supervisory officials to supervise them.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the central government’s procuratorial system has been composed of two teams, the Yushi doctor (yushi Zhongcheng) and the Sili captain.

The captain of the Sili school was accepted by Zhuge Liang when Liu Chan ascended the throne.Its task is to supervise the civil and military officials in the capital and the seven counties around it.In addition to supervision, Lieutenant Sili also holds the power of elections and the arrest and killing of criminals by order.

There are 12 Sili officials who are responsible for the school lieutenants. Sili are extremely powerful, and they can intervene in politics, economy, military affairs, elections and other matters from the central government to the local government.

In the local procuratorial system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the governor was in charge, and the governor procured the county guards to check and balance each other.Of course, the censor doctor of Yushitai can send supervisors to the localities to supervise the local situation.

The local supervision system of the Eastern Han Dynasty was basically destroyed with the corruption of officials, the change of state governors to state pastors, and the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

As for the Shu Han, which was established in the troubled times, because of the shallow foundation of Lao Liu, it was too late to build a monitoring system suitable for the big Han.During Lao Liu's lifetime, General Zhuge Liang was in charge of supervision and government affairs.

This is why, after Liu Chan ascended the throne, Zhuge Liang not only controlled the political affairs of Shangshutai, but also was the captain of Sili, and had the right to supervise local officials.It's because Zhuge Liang had such rights in Lao Liu's time, but it was strengthened.

Of course, Yizhou Mu itself also has procuratorial duties. The combination of Sili Xiaowei + Yizhou Mu is tantamount to strengthening Zhuge Liang's right to dispose of local officials in Yizhou.

Under such power, Yizhou, under the rule of Zhuge Liang, suddenly appeared as a rich country, punished and cleared.

As for the supervisory responsibility of Yushitai, it is tantamount to being downplayed.The reason why it was downplayed is also very simple. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yushitai was independent from the prime minister, and its chief inspector, Yushi Dafu, had independent supervisory power.Therefore, if Yushitai appears, it will be tantamount to restraining Zhuge Liang's performance.

Therefore, when Liu Chan was in power, although there were related positions such as Yushitai, they were mostly empty and did not have actual power.For example, Meng Huo, a rebel scholar in Nanzhong, entered the court with Zhuge Liang and served as Yushi Zhongcheng (Censor Doctor), which is the mascot.

Yushi Zhongcheng, who has real power in the Han Dynasty, dates back to the period of promoting land administration, and Pan Jun was appointed to this position, but his main duty is to supervise the local land administration system.There is also no monitoring system for the establishment of the Yushitai from the local to the central.

Judging from the present, the political system that seemed to be good at the beginning, with the increase of wars and the aging of Zhuge Liang, has shown great disadvantages.

In the early years, because the war was close to Bashu, the exchange of documents was quite convenient, and Zhuge Liang was more energetic, so he could be distracted from dealing with military affairs.

However, as the territory of the Shuhan became larger and larger, Zhuge Liang, as the chief prosecutor, was not in the center for a long time, but outside the army, fighting for the country.His successor, Jiang Wan, was only a minister, and his procuratorial duties were very weak. In addition, the Yushitai of the Shu Han seemed to be empty.

The collapse of official administration in Bashu is not an accidental phenomenon, but a phenomenon that has accumulated over time.And this phenomenon can also indirectly explain that there is a problem with this inner government governance system, and it is necessary for the big man to improve this governance system.

And Zhuge Liang may also be aware of this problem, and also proposed to give up Yizhou Mu, and let Jiang Wan be the governor of Yizhou, so as to strengthen the governance of Yizhou's internal officials.But unfortunately, it is still a bit late.

Therefore, for Liu Chan, it is necessary to restart Yushitai and strengthen local governance.Appointing Dong Yun as the doctor of imperial censors, holding festivals and inspecting places for the emperor, is the initial action of restarting censor platform.

In Liu Chan's mind, the restarted Yushitai needs to be reformed on the basis of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

As for why a new reform is needed, it is also related to the governance system of the Han Dynasty itself. In the early days, the governor of the state did not serve as a local governor, but only as a supervisor of local counties.Therefore, although there were prefectures during Emperor Wu's period, they were still prefectures and counties in terms of system—the secondary management system of the central government.

The words of the Shu Han are different. After the Shu Han pacified Longyou in the early years, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang discussed the issue of the two-level governance system and the three-level governance system.

As a result of the early opening of Longyou and local wars and other issues, the Shu Han established a three-level governance system of central-state-county-county. The governor of the state did not hold military power, but only handled administrative affairs.

Therefore, under such circumstances, if the supervisory power is held by the state governor in the Han Dynasty, it will inevitably lead to the concentration of supervisory and administrative powers, which will easily lead to local expansion or the formation of cliques.

In other words, the new supervisory system of the Han Dynasty needs to intervene in the state, divide the supervisory power of the governor of the state, and establish a governance system that separates military affairs, government affairs, and judiciary.

However, it is not easy to build a new supervision system. Issues such as whether there are suitable officials and the salary of new personnel need to be considered, which cannot be accomplished overnight.

Therefore, Liu Chan is going to come in steps. First, he appoints Dong Yun as Yushi doctor, strengthens the governance of Yizhou, makes a patch, and continues to trust Ma Liang and Lu Yi.Secondly, discuss with important ministers to determine the Yushitai under the new form.After Zhuge Liang's death, the Inner Palace was disbanded, and the officials of the Inner Palace were selected and moved to Yushitai.

While thinking about it, Liu Chan couldn't help feeling sleepy and yawned.

Today's big Han is different from the Shu Han in the past, which was a land of one state. With the expansion of the territory, the previous appropriate systems need to be optimized.Therefore, the restart of Yushitai is only a part of it, and there will be many policies that need to be optimized in the future.

Liu Chan closed his eyes, leaned back on the table, smelled the incense on the table, felt quite comfortable, and gradually felt drowsy.

Just when Liu Chan closed his eyes and rested his mind, warm plain hands moved to his temples and rubbed gently for Liu Chan.

"Who is it?" Liu Chan asked while enjoying the massage.

"It's a concubine!" Xiao Zhang responded softly.

"How did you come?"

Liu Chan opened his eyes, met those big talking eyes, and asked.

Xiao Zhang was a little shy, lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "Your Majesty said that you will come to the residence of my concubine tonight. It's already late today, but you can't see His Majesty. I'm really worried, so I came to ask to see you."

Before the big Han sent troops to Nanyang, Liu Chan accepted Xiao Zhang into the palace and named him his wife, and the position of queen was still vacant.

Liu Chan raised a smile and said, "Next time, before I arrive, you should go to sleep first."

"I dare not~"

As he said that, Xiao Zhang leaned on Liu Chan's broad chest and said softly: "The concubine hasn't washed His Majesty yet, so An Neng can go to sleep earlier."

Liu Chan put his arms around Xiao Zhang's shoulders, and said with a smile: "These things can be attended by the maids, so why do you have to do them yourself."

Caressing Liu Chan's chest with slender hands, Xiao Zhang said: "If a concubine can't serve His Majesty, why would she dare to call her a wife? And the concubine doesn't feel tired, but is happy for it."

Liu Chan sniffed the fragrance of her hair and couldn't help saying in a low voice: "You are quite similar to Sister Ni!"

"Your Majesty~" Xiao Zhang was taken aback, stopped moving, and shouted.

"Call me Dalang." Liu Chan buried his head in her hair and said.

"Da Lang!" Xiao Zhang hesitated for a while, and finally shouted.

"Ok!"
