Wushuang Wudi of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 96
In February 193 AD, shortly after the Chinese New Year.

On this day, Lu Bu suddenly summoned all the court ministers and generals, and wanted to announce a big event to them.All the people who were called were puzzled. There was no news before?They looked at each other in blank dismay, what kind of big move did Marquis Wen make?
"Everyone, the affairs of the imperial court are slowly getting on the right track. In the near future, this Marquis will work with you to regroup and settle down! However, at present, the imperial court is very empty and disorderly. All the positions of the three princes are vacant; Among the ministers, Guangluxun is vacant, Weiwei is vacant, and Zongzheng is vacant, which makes the court run smoothly, which is absurd!" Lu Bu said first.

Cut, blame us?All this is not due to you, Marquis Wen!You have swept away half of the Sangong Jiuqing!Everyone pouted in their hearts, thinking.

However, when they thought about it again, they couldn't help but get excited again. Hearing this, is everyone going to be promoted?It should be added to the important positions of the Sangong and Jiuqing!Everyone immediately whispered and communicated with each other.

Lu Bu smiled and did not interfere.

Everyone talked, but came to a conclusion that disappointed them.impossible!Don't you know Wenhou?How could he be so kind!Even if it is, those cronies of Marquis Wen will come!The courtiers were suddenly disappointed again.Surprised and happy, startled and fluctuated, it's really difficult for these pillars of the court.

"Also ask Marquis Wen to make it clear!" Everyone simply said.

"This Marquis plans to change the system of Jiuqing!" Lu Bu restrained his smile and said seriously.

His current territory is not very big, and when it comes to restructuring, he seems a little clueless.However, Lu Bu has thought about it carefully, and it is precisely because the current territory is small and the power is weak that it is easy to improve.If we don't do it now, it will not be so easy to change it when we rule the world, with a territory of thousands of miles and a population of tens of millions.

Everyone in the world knows the glory of a huge empire, but they often don't pay attention to it. The bigger the empire, the more the population, the more complicated the various forces, the more difficult it is to manage, and the more difficult it is to achieve improvement; conversely, the more land and population The smaller it is, the easier it is to manage, and the easier it is to improve it.

Liu Bang in the early Han Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty slaughtered heroes. Why, were they cruel?Of course not, as far as the purpose is concerned, it is for the long-term stability of the empire.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu relied on the powerful landlords to seize the world, and in turn was always affected by the powerful landlords; in the Jin Dynasty, the Sima family was actually the representative of the aristocratic family, and Sima Yan was naturally restrained by the aristocratic family.

In this regard, Lu Bu is unwilling to learn from Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang; but he also does not want to be like Liu Xiu and Sima Yan, who have to be suppressed by a class, who kill themselves and make contributions. In the end, do they do it for others!Taking advantage of the present, it is best to establish a set of effective institutions to separate those huge powers and positions, and to cooperate and contain each other.

Everyone also calmed down and listened seriously, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"Since the first Emperor Guangwu, Shangshutai has been responsible for drafting and reviewing edicts, managing secrets, issuing government orders, counseling and making decisions, and inspecting officials. Isn't this Marquis now just recording Shangshu? In fact, Shangshu The power and position of Taiwan has already surpassed the three princes and nine ministers, therefore, this Marquis will now change Shangshutai to Shangshu Province! Officially lead all officials!" Lu Bu threw a heavy bomb.

"What!" All the courtiers chattered naturally, their voices grew from small to loud, and gradually became noisy, and finally, the voices rose up!

Unless they don't jump, this matter is related to their vital interests, and it is a major change in the government!

What Lu Bu said was correct. As the central organ of the emperor's decision-making and issuing orders, the Shangshutai had already surpassed the Sangong and Jiuqing in terms of power.However, now that Lu Bu wants to clarify this point officially, and change Shangshutai to Shangshusheng, it still touches and even shakes the nerves of the officials.

"Marquis Wen! Please forgive me for being bold. The imperial court has its own destiny. The official system was decided by Emperor Guangwu. I'm afraid it can't be changed lightly!" One of the officials who thought he was loyal to the Han Dynasty couldn't help but speak out.

"Marquis Wen! The imperial court is the foundation of His Majesty's governance of the world. I am young today, so I think that the imperial court should not act recklessly!" Another official said.

The others, after discussing, remained silent for a while.They knew very well that at present, Lu Bu was in power and no one in the court could restrain him. Since he mentioned this matter today, he probably had already made a decision.Previously, Dong Zhuo dared to move the capital!Is there anything else that is impossible to happen in this great Han dynasty?All the cunning and cunning courtiers took a wait-and-see attitude to see how many people would object.

The two who spoke out first were surprised to find that there were so many officials in such a huge scene, and they were the only two who objected, and they couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

"The system of the imperial court, the rules of the imperial court, naturally cannot be changed lightly. However, not being able to be easily changed does not mean that it cannot be changed. Today, the world is in chaos, and the majesty and laws of the imperial court cannot escape the Guanzhong controlled by this Marquis. Just four counties! It's time for a change!" Lu Bu said, staring at the two with cold eyes.

"Besides that? I don't know how Marquis Wen should change other systems such as the Jiuqing system. I would like to hear more about it?" Ting Wei Zhang Zhong is still more concerned about how Lu Bu will change, to what extent, and his own power and interests. How will it change?He was scheming and said tentatively.

Listen to Lu Bu's thoughts first, and then decide whether to oppose or support.

Of course, if Lu Bu insisted on changing it, he had no choice but to admit it, otherwise, he might end up dead.He also has a clear understanding of the current situation. Warlords control all parts of the world, and he has no money, food, soldiers, and horses, and words are useless! "You can do whatever you want!"

The others, too, took a wait-and-see attitude, wanting to see what kind of reform Lu Bu was going to make!
"Jiuqing was changed to Jiubu, which is under the management of Shangshu Province. Your ranks remain the same, but your duties and powers have changed slightly." Lu Bu looked at the performance of everyone, and secretly felt that the timing he had chosen was good. This thing seems to be coming to an end.First, no one has the strength to challenge the board. Second, the restructuring of Jiuqing is within the acceptable range of everyone.

ah!Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words. It seemed that this was a decision made by Marquis Wen in order to continue to control the government.Changing Jiuqing to Jiubu, isn't that changing the soup but not the medicine?Besides, this Shangshu province must be controlled by Lu Bu himself, right?Otherwise, who would he dare to hand it over to?In this way, there is not much reason to object.

There was a moment of silence at the scene. It seemed that the restructuring of Jiuqing was about to be passed.
