Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 287
Even talented people like Xiao He and Zhang Liang couldn't think of such a long-term view, but everyone knew that once the status of the court was improved, the status of these people would be greatly improved.

Once an official with a thousand stones is released, he can even serve as the prime minister of two thousand stones, and then be transferred to the county guard of two thousand stones, and finally return to Chang'an to serve as Jiuqing. This is the most perfect promotion process.

Best of all, these adjustments affect officials within the kingdom, not the princes and kings.

The prime minister is not permanent at first glance. For the current big man, the emperor and the emperor have not been completely distinguished, and the prime minister is the only person above the princes and kings.

As the emperor Zuo Er, the prime minister's status is already extremely high.

Except for princes and kings with real power like King Zhao, princes and kings with weaker national power did not dare to offend the prime minister.

The reason why Luo Chen did this was because he knew that this seemingly peaceful scene would not last long. During the Zhou Dynasty, the feudal lords were fighting in the dark. Why?

Because the two big countries with no political trust and considerable size are too close, and the Zhou royal family has no ability to reconcile the contradictions, the situation in the world is out of control.

The current central court has greatly enhanced its control over the original Zhou royal family, and there is no need for so many princes and kings across counties and counties, especially the confidants of South Korea and Wei.

Lu Zhi was a little tired from talking, so he asked Luo Xin to read the assistants and subordinates assigned by these senior officials.

This is a complete set of supporting facilities. Xiao He suddenly thought of something, and quickly asked: "Queen Mother, should the Lingnan Kingdom notify the Prime Minister of this matter? According to what you said, the Lingnan Kingdom needs a corresponding institution."

The King of Lingnan, Zhao Tuo, is the most special existence in the current order. He is a member of the Zhuxia system, but at the same time he is a foreign service vassal, and he is a completely different existence from the Liu clan king.

According to the trend of Ji Zhao's previous life, Zhao Tuo, a vassal state that would eventually become an ordinary tributary state, would not have a high status, but the situation is different now.

The existence of the Luo family greatly sublimated the concept of Zhuxia, and stripped off part of the power that belonged to the emperor, until Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were crowned, and the prestige was so high that it could not be higher.

At least in this period, it is by no means a false statement that Luo and the emperor share the world. Of course, the Luo family must take advantage of this convenience to do things. The existence of Zhao Tuo is an attempt.

In the future, the Great Han will expand to a larger world, and there may be many vassal states, such as the Western Regions mentioned by Su Wang's ancestor, but the vassal states of Zhuxia are different from the vassal states of foreign countries.

From the most basic theory, as long as Zhu Xia has the opportunity to become the emperor.

The vassal states of Zhuxia were directly managed by the emperor and the prime minister, while the vassal states of foreign countries were managed by the Jiuqing organization, and the gap was obvious.

As for what counts as Zhuxia vassals and which counts as foreign vassals, there is naturally a clear definition. In short, it is a definition and system that can make Zhuxia flourish.

Lu Zhi heard the words and said: "Not only to inform, but also to send the prime minister to the Lingnan Kingdom, so that the Lingnan King can reorganize the country.

Back then, Bang Zhou entrusted princes with the surname of Ji in the land of Wu and Yue, but the country of Wu was assimilated by the local people, and his tattoos were cut off. It was not until Duke Xuan brought Wu country back into the Zhuxia system that he gradually learned about Zhou rituals.

This is Zhou Tianzi's dereliction of duty, and this situation is absolutely not allowed to happen in Dahan.

Remember the ancestors of the Central Plains, and don't forget that the roots of Zhuxia are in the Central Plains. "

Xiao He Yilin, there are tens of thousands of people that Zhao Tuo took to Lingnan. After all these years, I don't know how many people are still alive. There seems to be some deep meaning in the Queen Mother's words.

Zhang Liang thought for a while, just from what he has heard so far, this is a very large central government system, and there will be about [-]% more officials at the court level alone. Great stretch.

What a wise man he is, he can tell at a glance that this is to prepare for the power of the region. Now put up the shelf first, and then he can directly take over the blank area, and will not fall into the Qin Dynasty that conquered the six kingdoms. The Six Nations are still in the same predicament as before.

In addition to the previous idea of ​​respecting the imperial court and demoting the vassal state, this move is to bring all the talents from Shandong to Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but glance at Luo Xin and Luo Chen. What exactly are the queen mother and these two thinking?
When Luo Xin's voice stopped, the new official system of the imperial court was read out to everyone. Although this set of official system increased the number of officials, it became more organized and clear.

Luo Chen stripped off all those parts with overlapping functions, and clarified the specific responsibilities of each Jiuqing. It is clear at a glance who is doing well and who is not doing well, and it is very difficult to shirk.

Fengchang and Zongzheng merged into one, still called Zongzheng, in charge of the affairs of the entire clan, reporting directly to the emperor, accepting the emperor's orders, and not accepting the prime minister's dispatch.

The three Jiuqing who were in charge of the emperor's guards, Luo Chen also did not make major adjustments, it is better to leave these things to the emperor himself.

His real biggest adjustment is to greatly enhance the status of the prime minister. Among the original nine ministers, the two who can really get on the line with governing the country are Neishi and Shaofu. The Shaofu is more inclined to be the money of the royal family. bag.

Luo Chen believed that this was not good for the governance of the country. The promotion of officials, the construction of large-scale water conservancy facilities, the land, money and food in the world, and the management of commerce in the world, which one of these is not the most important thing.

Even though these people all work under the prime minister's mansion, the status and treatment of Jiuqing must be implemented.

These adjustments made everyone dizzy like a bomb. Some people were promoted suddenly, at least the salary rose in a straight line, and some people suddenly found that their entire government office had been merged.

There was a commotion in the hall, and everyone was talking about it, but after turning around for a while, they found that although the adjustment was large, the adjustment of the top and bottom and responsibilities was actually clear.

The entire imperial court has become a very flat governing body, and there are fewer things such as offering sacrifices to the heavens that have little practical significance for the resumption of production in the world. more decision-making power.

This is of positive significance for the subsequent recovery. Officials do not need to ask the prime minister for everything, and the prime minister does not need to ask Lu Zhi for everything.

Freed from complicated and ineffective affairs, Lu Zhi can have more time to think about future plans.

A strategic plan can be put forward for the affairs of the world, and it can be carried out by an efficient governing body.

After the announcement of these matters, the most important thing is of course to determine the candidate for the prime minister. Lu Zhi asked with a smile: "Mr. Feng, you are highly respected. You have been the prime minister since the founding of the Han Dynasty. I think you are the best candidate for the prime minister."

Xiao He was immediately shocked when he heard the words, and bowed down almost without hesitation: "Queen Mother, I am old, you have innovated the system, and the prime minister is more important than Mount Tai. I really can't bear such a heavy responsibility with my current body. Please choose another virtuous minister."

Lu Zhi nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Oh, Marquis Feng is so talented, but my regent is old, it's really a pity, I will add [-] households to the town for Marquis Feng.

Marquis Feng, you said to choose another virtuous minister, but who is the virtuous minister in your heart?

You have been the prime minister for many years, so you must know the ministers best. "

Xiao He said directly without the slightest hesitation: "Your servant is bold, Dong'ahou is the best, although I haven't been in contact with Dong'ahou for a long time, Dong'ahou's strategy is a hundred times better than my minister's.

You are especially good at making the country rich. Today, the world is exhausted. If there is a great talent like Dong'ahou, it will surely prosper. I congratulate the Queen Mother. At this difficult time, it is the Queen Mother's luck to have such a virtuous minister in the country. Fortunately. "

The voice of these words is loud and powerful, but there is no sense of age.

Lu Zhi sat at the head, clapped his hands and said with emotion after hearing the words: "Binghou is really high-spirited, he resigned from his position and even recommended his colleagues, and he is willing to recommend colleagues with great talents. I am really gratified. If such a virtuous minister Without rewards, can you still stand in the world?
Then add two hundred households for the Marquis of Feng. "

Xiao He said with embarrassment on his face: "The minister is just recommending talents for the country, but the Queen Mother has bestowed a generous favor, which is really beyond the reach of the minister."

This happy harmony between the monarch and his ministers made other people in the hall very envious.

Well, you Xiao He, you really don't want your face because of your posthumous fame and favor. You have only known Dong Ahou for a long time, and you are so unreserved that you can say such nasty things.

If Xiao He knew what these people were thinking, he might just want to laugh, and I'm not lying, Dong'ahou is talented, if he can recall Yinghou, the combination of the two is invincible.

The joy on Lu Zhi's face was completely undisguised, and he asked Luo Xin directly: "Dong Ahou, Fenghou recommended you to be the prime minister. I know your talents best, and I also think you are the most suitable candidate. What do you think?"

Luo Xin bowed slightly and said: "The queen mother bestowed grace, and I have nothing else to say except to do my best."

Knew it.

All the officials above the main hall looked like they really did. As soon as they got out of this official system and saw the position of prime minister with such power, many people guessed that this must be the position of Dong Ahou Luoxin.

Although Luo Xin also worshiped the prime minister before, it is completely different from the current one. In the whole world, Luo Xin is now just under one person.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The bell rang again, and the courtiers slowly left Weiyang Palace. Lu Zhi and Luo Xin watched this scene side by side.

Lu Zhi said softly: "My lord, the burden of the world rests on our two shoulders."

Luo Xin said with a smile: "Ema, this is a blessing!"

----

During this institutional reform in the early Han Dynasty, many scholars seized on the weakening of imperial power to argue that the Han court devolved power in order to restore the exhausted world, but the author does not agree with this point, and on the contrary, the Han court passed Institutional reform, on the contrary, strengthened the centralization of power from the system.

This is to mention the similarities and differences between the two concepts of centralization and absolute monarchy. Centralization is a broader concept. The Han court is a whole group centered on the emperor. In the struggle between imperial power and prime ministership , the imperial power may have retreated a little, but the entire Han court is making great strides forward.

The emperor may have made some concessions in the center, but he is more majestic in the world. We can say that compared with the Qin Dynasty, the degree of autocracy in the Han Dynasty is not so high, but the degree of centralization of the Han Dynasty absolutely surpasses that of the Qin Dynasty. Only these two concepts can understand the historical trend of the Han Dynasty. ——"History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
