Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 435: 3 Dukes and 9 Secretaries

Chapter 435: Three Gongs and Nine Qings
It has nothing to do with personality, but with Liu Bei's identity and position, even if he wants to favor a few old brothers, he still has to consider the ideas of other factions.

No matter how powerful the brothers are, they only have a few people. After all, they started from humble beginnings, and there are not many talents in the family.

But the wealthy families are the mainstream. They occupy too many official positions in the Han Dynasty, and they are also among the middle and high-level officers.

In other words, when necessary, they can even clear the emperor's side.

Sometimes the Qing emperor does not necessarily want to be the emperor, but is dissatisfied with the pie sharer, which is Liu Bei's partial behavior.

But now that I have cleared the emperor's side, I naturally want to give myself as much influence as possible.

Even if the four brothers don't think about themselves, they still have to think about Liu Bei...

Now that the banquet is here, naturally there is no intention to continue.

The two brothers had a few more drinks and then went back to their rooms.

He didn't get drunk on purpose. With Zhang Fei's physique, it would be difficult for him to get drunk now, unless he got drunk on purpose.

Zhang He doesn't like getting drunk. In the final analysis, it is similar to the concept of getting high with drugs. The withdrawal reaction (hangover) the next day is even more fatal.

After two days of this, as Taishi Ci and Guan Yu also arrived one after another, on the day of the Great Court Meeting, the four of them went to the palace to have an audience.

The most uncomfortable thing was the court meeting. I had to get up at around four o'clock and start entering the palace at five o'clock. It might take about ten minutes for Liu Bei to arrive.

Fortunately, there were special seats for court meetings in the Han Dynasty, so there was no need to stand.

Nowadays, underwear has become popular, so the futon in the past has been replaced by a general chair, which is actually a Taishi chair.

However, this kind of chair was invented by Zhang He. According to his status, it is called the general chair.

This invention really frees up the legs. Otherwise, even if there is a futon, it would not be easy if the court meeting takes a long time.

Special cushions are placed on the chairs to facilitate long-term sitting, and of course to take care of people with hemorrhoids.

Although few people eat spicy food in this era, many people drink alcohol, which can still cause hemorrhoids.

At Zhang He's request, Shi Xie helped find millet pepper. This local variety of pepper will soon be on the Chinese dining table, and by then there will be more people with hemorrhoids.

"Your Majesty is here, be quiet!" some visitors shouted.

The eunuch is not a eunuch, but is subordinate to Guang Luxun. After serving for one year, he can take up other official positions.

Liu Bei walked in from the main hall, walked directly to the dragon chair, and sat down slowly, not angry but showing his majesty as an emperor.

"Dear gentlemen!" Liu Bei looked at everyone, "along the way, we have had our share of ups and downs and experienced some setbacks, but in the end, we have calmed down the turmoil for many years! Now that the world is finally settled, you all have contributed to it!"

Without waiting for everyone to be polite, he continued: "I think everyone has received some news about the content of this court meeting. Yes, I want to commend the heroes who have worked silently and even fought bloody battles to unify the world over the years!"

The specific list has been drawn up by Shangshutai.

It may involve a lot of benefit distribution, so I won’t go into details.

"Since the establishment of the imperial court, the three ministers and nine ministers are almost empty. There are many factors to consider, but everyone's lack of resume is the main reason." Liu Bei looked at the ministers and smiled.

The imperial court started too early, and many people even came from poor families. Even if they were from aristocratic families, it was indeed difficult to directly become the three princes and nine ministers.

Not to mention abilities and resume, connections are also very important.

At the level of Sangong and Jiuqing, it is not as simple as ability and resume, but more about connections.

If the connections are not good, no matter how talented you are, if the people below do not cooperate, then no policy will be implemented.

So when it comes to a certain height, personal ability is no longer so important, but human connections and sophistication are more important.

In particular, you have to understand the exchange and distribution of benefits. If you don't understand this, you won't be able to do it for a long time.

Giving them so many years of work at Shangshutai is to allow them to accumulate connections and understand this truth.

Now it is based on this result to judge who can be promoted to Jiuqing and who is suitable to be the Third Duke.

"The Minister of the Jin Dynasty ordered Ju Shou to be appointed as a Taiwei!" The audience called him, and there was no doubt that Ju Shou became a Taiwei of the imperial court.

"I accept the decree. Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jushu stood up to receive the decree.Although I already knew the list, my mood was completely different when I actually read it out.

What China values ​​​​is to be safe. Before announcing something, no matter how much you promise, no matter how you take advantage, there will always be changes.

"Jin Tianfeng will be Situ, and Jin Cai Yong will be Sikong!" the visitor continued to announce.Tian Feng was upright and upright, and it was just right to serve as Situ. Cai Yong was actually able to serve as Sikong, which surprised many people.

Someone immediately realized that Cai Yong had no children and was basically the only one of his generation in power. He was also 64 years old and could not be Sikong for a few years.

But after all, he is a relatively respected person among the old-school forces.

At the same time, he is the father-in-law of Yang Fu and Zhang He, and the mentor of Gu Yong.

Thinking about it this way, everyone thought it was nothing. Anyway, in about three years, Cai Yong was almost begging for his bones.

Tian Feng's situation is similar. He has no children, and he does not pose a threat no matter how high he is.

For example, in the past, the Yuan family had four generations and three nobles, and a lot of disciples and former officials, who easily helped Yuan Ji to rise to power.

If this continues, even if Dong Zhuo does not promote him, Yuan Ji will have to be the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers sooner or later.

But Cai Yong and Tian Feng are different. They have no sons and can only promote people from their own faction.

Of course, some people are dissatisfied. After all, two people from the Jizhou sect have become the Third Duke...

To Jiuqing: Zhou Sheng served as Weiwei, Liu Yuanqi served as Zongzheng, Zhen Yi served as Chief Agriculture Officer, Mi Zhu served as Shaofu, Guan Ning served as Tingwei, Guoyuan served as Taichang, Sun Qian served as Dahonglu, and Wang Xiu served as Tai servant.

These are basically old people who started their careers with Liu Bei, or they are relatives of the country, so naturally no one objects.

It’s just that everyone is very young, and I’m afraid that this term may not be over in ten or twenty years.

There are still many people of about the same age, which makes it a bit difficult. I am afraid that I will not be able to beg for bones in the office of Sangong and Jiuqing.

On the contrary, Fu Wan was appointed Zhi Jinwu. Historically, Fu Wan was named Zhi Jinwu only after Fu Shou became the queen.

Now it is because he is a Han Chinese relative and Zhang He's father-in-law, so he is specially promoted.

"By the way!" Liu Bei coughed lightly, "Most of you here are very young, or rather too young. Being in high positions early will make it difficult for those who are late to learn, and I'm afraid they will have to wait a long time..."

When everyone heard this, their hearts skipped a beat, and they quickly looked at Liu Bei, waiting for his next words.

"So after you take office, your term will be three years. If you pass the assessment in three years, you will stay in office. If you fail the assessment, you will be re-elected for a maximum of three years. After six years, you will temporarily abdicate to make way for others. If you are over 60 years old, you will retire directly." Liu Bei announced .

Nowadays, the Han Dynasty is prosperous beyond its expected period. If you still can't achieve results for six consecutive years, it's either because of lack of ability or lack of communication.

Continuing to rely on it will make it impossible for the big man to develop.No matter how talented you are, you have to step down and make way for someone more talented.

Retire directly at the age of 60. Originally, according to Zhang He's intention, 50 is almost the same.

Yes, this is the result of the discussion between Zhang He and Liu Bei.

After all, two people aged 40 to 30 cannot serve for [-] to [-] years. It is not obvious that those small factions must be killed and eventually integrated into one or two factions.

If there are too few factions, the lifespan of the dynasty will be greatly reduced, which is not what Liu Bei wants to see.

It's just that this involves more things. After all, we have to avoid someone deliberately holding back, but there is always a way to solve it.

"Gentlemen, do you have any doubts?" Liu Bei looked at everyone.

Who dares to have an opinion?
If you have any objections, just prove that you don't have the ability to pass the three-year assessment, so it's better to abdicate directly and let someone get the better job!
Moreover, even if it does not pass, there will still be six years. Six years of being a minister is enough to promote many policies.

The main thing is that even if I retire, I won't have much regret.

"Since it's meaningless, don't waste time!" Liu Bei waved his hand, "Continue!"

"Next, are the rewards for military officers..." The visitor picked up the decree and continued to read it out.

 There is a saying that when you reach the level of Sangong and Jiuqing, your ability to do things is not that important. After all, the actual government affairs desk will take care of it.With an overview of the overall situation, if interpersonal relationships are not handled well, it will be difficult to implement many policies.Even if it is implemented, it will be misinterpreted and implemented haphazardly.

  It is said that Wang Anshi's reform failed in its actual implementation. He doesn't know much about the Song Dynasty, so just listen to it.

  Legend has it that Xiaomi Spicy is a chili pepper originating from Guizhou, Yunnan and Guangxi. I don’t know if it is true.

  I personally like spicy millet. It must be very high in glutamic acid. It is also possible that some MSG was added when making the hot sauce. Anyway, it has a very good effect on freshness and flavor.
