The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

In the imperial study room, after the emperor showed off to He Xiang and the others the good things Zhao Yao was going to do, he showed them another secret envelope from Zhao Yao.

"Take a good look at this sealed seal," the emperor emphasized.

Sun Kui handed the secret fold to He Xiang, and He Xiang stretched out his hand to take the secret fold.He did not open it in a hurry, but asked first: "Your Majesty, whose secret is this?"

"Xiao Shi's." After the emperor finished speaking, he sat on the chair, raised his feet on the royal table, put his hands in his sleeves, and looked carefree. "Take a good look."

When they heard that it was His Highness the King of Han's secret book again, and heard the emperor repeatedly told him to read it carefully, He Xiang and Taishi Liu were shocked, and then they opened the secret book of His Highness the King of Han Dynasty and began to read it hurriedly.

When I opened the sealed envelope, I found that the content inside was very long.

He Xiang held one end of the secret fold, and Da Sinong held the other end of the secret fold.

The three of them put their heads together and looked at the contents of the secret book carefully.

When they saw the "Three Provinces and Six Ministries System", He Xiang and the others immediately had questions in their minds, what is this?
Taishi Liu and the three of them continued to look down with doubts in their hearts.After watching for a while, the three of them almost exclaimed.

The three of them became more frightened as they looked down.

The emperor saw the expressions on the faces of Da Sinong and the three of them becoming more and more shocked, and he became more and more proud.

After He Xiang and the three of them read the secret book carefully, they read it again from beginning to end.When they watched it for the first time, they just took a rough look and were deeply shocked.When they read it word for word for the second time, they were even more shocked.

"Your Majesty, is this proposed by His Highness the King of Han?" When He Xiang said this, his tone trembled slightly.

"Of course it's him. He has already used the new official system in his small court." The emperor had just seen the contents of the seal, and he was no less shocked than He Xiang and the others. "That brat disliked the fact that the official system of the Zhou Dynasty was cumbersome and difficult to remember, so he came up with this three-province-six-ministry system. He said it was easier to remember and use than the current official system of the Zhou Dynasty."

Taishi Liu took several deep breaths and then managed to suppress the shock that surged into his heart.

Da Sinong was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.He can only use one word to describe it that His Highness the King of Han once said, that is "fuck"!
"Your Majesty, was it really His Highness the King of Han who proposed the system of three provinces and six ministries?" Taishi Liu also asked again, as if he couldn't believe that the system of three provinces and six ministries was proposed by a newly adult prince.

The emperor knew what Taishi Liu was surprised about, nodded, and said with a smile: "It was indeed him who did it. Didn't he explain in detail the responsibilities and functions of the three provinces and six ministries in the secret book?"

"This... His Highness the King of Han is really..." He Xiang no longer knew what to say to marvel at His Highness the King of Han's talent.His Highness the King of Han always surprises them, doing or thinking up things they don't expect.Every time they thought that what His Highness the King of Han made was "scary" enough, but they didn't expect that His Highness the King of Han could make something even more "scary".

Taishi Liu and others knew that His Highness the King of Han was very talented, but they always believed that His Highness the King of Han's talent was in making things, such as the new paper, the plow, printing technology, and the new salt that His Highness had just made.Unexpectedly, His Highness the King of Han was also very talented in court affairs.This system of three provinces and six departments is amazing!
"I remember that His Royal Highness the King of Han is not familiar with the official system of our dynasty." When he was in Lanyuan Pavilion, Zhao Yao asked many times about the responsibilities of certain official positions.At that time, His Highness the King of Chu asked His Highness the King of Han to have a good understanding of the official positions in the imperial court, but His Highness the King of Han disliked the trouble and said he was too lazy to memorize it.He also said that he could not remember clearly.

"That brat Xiao Shi is really not very familiar with the official system of the Zhou Dynasty." The emperor complained in his heart. If he didn't become the emperor, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

"Before His Highness the King of Han went to Lingnan, he hid behind His Highness the King of Wei and slept every day when he went to court. Unexpectedly, he..." Da Sinong wondered in his mind, could it be that His Highness the King of Han was pretending to sleep?

The emperor put away his feet on the royal table, crossed his hands to support his chin, and looked at He Xiang and the others with interest: "What do you think of the three provinces and six ministries system created by Xiao Shi?"

Taishi Liu replied without any hesitation: "Of course it's very good."

Da Sinong immediately agreed: "Master Liu is right."

He Xiang hesitated and did not answer.

The emperor looked at He Xiang and asked: "He Xiang feels bad?"

He Xiang said: "To be honest, I think the system of three provinces and six ministries proposed by His Highness the King of Han is very good." At this point, He Xiang suddenly stopped talking and did not say any more.

"But." The emperor spoke on behalf of He Xiang, "You don't think it's suitable to use it."

"I do not think that the system of three provinces and six ministries is not suitable for the Zhou Dynasty, but the sudden reform of the official system will cause some troubles and even turmoil." He Xiang could naturally see the benefits of the "three provinces and six ministries system", but he suddenly abandoned the official system that had been used before , switching to the "three provinces and six ministries system" will cause people to have a lot of ulterior motives and suspicions.

Taishi Liu did not agree with He Xiang's words. He had always been pragmatic.

"The system of three provinces and six ministries is easier to use than the current official system. Then abandon the current official system and use the system of three provinces and six ministries." Taishi Liu sometimes felt that He Xiang thought too much. He Xiang always thought about something that was obviously very simple. very complicated. "The Emperor is still young, and it is not too late to switch to the system of three provinces and six ministries."

"That's not what you are saying. If when the Great Zhou Dynasty was first established, it would have used the system of three provinces and six ministries. There would be no problem. But now..." He Xiang felt that the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty were now thoroughly familiar with the official system of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Suddenly the official system was changed, and the officials We have to learn again. In the process of getting familiar with something new, it is very likely that we will do something wrong because of unfamiliarity. "Although the current official system is not as good as the three provinces and six ministries system, there is no problem."

Taishi Liu frowned and looked at He Xiang, and asked sharply: "Do you really think there are no problems with the current official system?"

He Xiang choked when Taishi Liu asked him this.Because he knows in his heart that the current official system has many shortcomings.

“Do you really think it’s right to abandon such an easy-to-use system of three provinces and six ministries because reforming the official system is troublesome?” Taishi Liu looked very serious, “Reforming the official system will only be troublesome for a while, but its role is long-lasting. But if we continue to use the current official system, there will be more and more problems, and eventually there will be redundant officials." Taishi Liu had long seen that the current official system had many problems, but he could not think of a better official system to replace it.Now, His Highness the King of Han has come up with a good official system, so why not use it?
He Xiang was speechless when questioned by Taishi Liu.Because he couldn't refute it.

Da Si Nong supported Taishi Liu and said: "I think what Liu Taishi said is reasonable." If the "three provinces and six ministries system" is adopted instead, then he, the Da Si Nong, will become the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and then he will only need to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs. That's it, no need to worry about things other than the household department. "I feel that the three provinces and six ministries system not only makes official positions clear and clear, but also streamlines many official positions that are unnecessary now."

Taishi Liu suddenly saluted the emperor solemnly: "Your Majesty, I think we can switch to the system of three provinces and six ministries proposed by His Highness the King of Han, and this matter should be done sooner rather than later."

Da Sinong followed and saluted: "I second the proposal."

He Xiang said nothing.

The emperor looked at the silent He Xiang: "He Xiang, what do you think?"

He Xiang knew that the emperor had already made a decision in his heart to switch to the three provinces and six ministries system.He knew in his heart that no matter what he said, the emperor would not listen.

"I second the proposal." Even if Prime Minister He wanted to object, he did not have the confidence to do so because he also felt that the system of three provinces and six ministries was good.

"Then you should be busy during this period. After the new year, we will switch to the system of three provinces and six ministries." The emperor suddenly thought of the cabinet system. He pointed at Taishi Liu and the others and said, "I want to build a cabinet. You can prepare a cabinet list for me." Xiao Shi, this brat, has finally done a great thing. With the cabinet, he will be able to relax a lot in the future. At least he won't have to review endless memorials every day like he does now. "By the way, you three and Lao Xue are on the list."

He Xiang and the others were not surprised when they heard that they were on the cabinet list.

"Your Majesty, how many people do you need for your cabinet?" Grand Master Liu always grasped the key point, "Five people, eight people, or ten people?"

"Ten people." The emperor thought that the more people there were, the less things he would have to do.He Xiang and Taishi Liu had guessed that the emperor would say this, and they felt helpless.

"Your Majesty, are ten people too many?"

Taishi Liu said unceremoniously: "Your Majesty, even if you want to be lazy, you can't set up ten people in the cabinet at the beginning. How can you add more people in the future?"

Da Sinong said nothing.Because he feels that whether there are many people in the cabinet has nothing to do with him.He only needs to worry about his future household affairs.

The emperor's little thoughts were seen through, and he was not embarrassed.

"How many people are you talking about?"

He Xiang thought for a while and said, "Let's start with five people."

Taishi Liu nodded in agreement.

"Five people?" The emperor stretched out a hand in disbelief, "Is five people too few?"

Taishi Liu mocked: "How about fifty people?"

The emperor, who was mercilessly ridiculed, chuckled and said, "I do think so."

Taishi Liu sneered: "You have a beautiful idea!"

The emperor said angrily: "I can't even think about it now."

Taishi Liu said very ruthlessly: "No!"

The emperor stared at Taishi Liu sadly, pointed at him, and looked like he was about to cry.

"Old Liu, you are bullying others."

Taishi Liu was so shocked by the emperor's appearance that he almost couldn't help but give him a big roll of his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you are establishing a cabinet, not opening a bathhouse."

Da Sinong was amused by Taishi Liu's words and almost burst out laughing.

When it comes to antagonizing people, Taishi Liu is still the best.

He Xiang suppressed his laughter and said, "Your Majesty, Taishi Liu is right. The cabinet is directly responsible to you. The discussions are all national affairs. The number of people should not be too large. Five people are enough."

The emperor struggled and said: "Five people are too few, let's go with six people. This is my biggest step back."

Taishi Liu, He Xiang and the others thought, as long as there are not eighty or ninety people, just six people.

"Then listen to the emperor, let's set up six people first." After He Xianggang finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the emperor was relaxed when setting up the cabinet, but they had more things to do.When I think about the emperor's tendency to be a hands-off shopkeeper, I'm afraid that the emperor will intensify his efforts after the cabinet is established, and they will only have more and more errands to do.

"By the way, you also need to take care of Xiao Shiti's Hanlin Academy," the emperor said. "There is also the selection of concubines. You should also come up with regulations."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Da Sinong was appointed as Minister of Household Affairs."

Da Sinong hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor announced again: "Old Liu, you will temporarily serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel." The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six departments, which is very important.The emperor would be worried if it were handed over to someone else, but he would be relieved if Taishi Liu was allowed to hold the post concurrently.

Taishi Liu accepted the order: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Leave the post of Minister of Rites to Lao Xue, he is the most suitable."

He Xiang: "I think so too."

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Justice, please recommend someone."

Prime Minister He asked: "Your Majesty, where is the Minister of War?"

"Let Lao Chu be the Minister of the Ministry of War." Chu Ying is the smartest, most stable and tactful among the four generals, so he is very suitable to be the Minister of the Ministry of War. "As for other official positions, you can ask the people below you to recommend them."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I hope you can get this thing done before the end of the year." If you don't get it done before the end of the year, you won't be able to reform the official system after the end of the year.

"My minister obeys."

"By the way, Xiao Shi decided to build a dock in Marsh Mansion. He said that he would build Marsh Mansion into an overseas trading city, and he also said that he would set up a customs in Marsh Mansion and so on."

After He Xiang and Taishi Liu heard this, they exclaimed in their hearts: How many things does His Highness the King of Han have to do?
Da Sinong: Master Liu is so powerful!
He Xiang: If you want to fight against the emperor, you have to be Lao Liu.

Taishi Liu: If you don't fight for a day, the emperor will go to heaven.

Emperor: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

In the end, I still humbly ask for a monthly ticket!
