Seeing Xu Ping's expressionless face, Zhao Zhen realized that his actions just now were a little unserious, and smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, continue to say, what did you say in three minutes?"

Xu Ping is not a jester, and he doesn't want to be a jester to please Zhao Zhen. And most importantly, Zhao Zhen himself looks down on the jester. If he really gives him an impression of being unserious, his future will be gone.

As a monarch and minister, these words cannot be said. Since the time of Taizu, he has been more casual than ministers. Taizong is as narrow-minded and harsh as a person, and he is not too big or small when drinking wine. But if he wants to separate occasions, this is Tianzhang Pavilion, which is the gods of the three emperors below Taizu. How could he make such a joke?

After sorting out a thought, Xu Ping said righteously: "Liu, Guan and Zhang made an oath. I remember that in the oath, Liu Bei said, 'Now, the three brothers, work together to save the needy and help the danger, report to the country, and provide peace to the people!' At that time, the three of them were still the people of the Han Dynasty, and report to the country to the country to the eight words of peace. I have always felt that it has fully expressed the true meaning of being a minister!"

Zhao Zhen felt a little strange and asked, "These eight words are excellent, but what's so special?"

"It's special. These eight words indicate the dual identities of ministers. Reporting to the country is loyal to the emperor and the people, while peace and peace are to manage the common affairs of the people with care. It is an identity to the superior, and another identity to the subordinate. These two identities are gathered on one person. To talk about the official system, we naturally have to start with these two identities."

Zhao Zhen has gradually begun to get used to Xu Ping's thinking. He often does not mean that this person is good or that person is bad, but that person is rationally analyzing the problem from an objective perspective. Hearing Xu Ping starts from the identity of a bureaucrat, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but become interested.

"Since Emperor Shi Huang unified the world and became one, without counties and governing the country, the ministers of the court were very different from those in the pre-Qin period. At that time, officials were sent out by the court to govern the local area, and the first thing they faced was the local tyrants. Therefore, the court fully supported the officials, because without such support, officials were not enough to defeat the powerful. Local affairs were controlled by the powerful, so is it still the land of the court? The official system began with a great change."

Zhao Zhen nodded and read the history books carefully, and then he knew that most of the capable officials from both Han dynasties started to control local areas by dealing with the powerful.

"The so-called combination of yin and yang is called Tao. There must be yin and yang, and there must be yin. The combination of yin and yang is where the Tao lies. Everything in the world always rises and falls between yin and yang and tangle. At that time, local tyrants and yang have great power, so officials were united and supported by the court, fighting with local tyrants. Later, local tyrants gradually weakened, so officials naturally did not need such strong support from the court, and the official system changed again. Local officials took office as local officials and were granted by the court.

The power gradually shrinks, and supervision becomes heavier. Nothing else, the local tyrants are gone, and the conflict between the local government and the central government is transformed into conflict between the local officials and the court. The power of supervision continues to infringe on the local power. Once there is a change, the power of supervision becomes the power of the local government, and then there is supervision of supervision. One rises and the other falls, and it is hustle and bustle. The reason is nothing more than that for the world, the local government and the court are one yin and one yang, one rises and the other falls and is entangled."

"In this dynasty, the three yamen collected local elite soldiers and the three yamen collected local money and grain, which had cut off the root of the local conflict with the court. Therefore, although there was a command to supervise the local area and recruit envoys to assist them, it was not as important as the supervision power of the previous dynasties, because it was no longer necessary. At this time, the contradiction between the local and the central government, between the yin and yang, was no longer between the local officials and the court, but between the officials and officials. People often say that in today's world, officials have no feudalism, and officials have feudalism, which can be said to be arguing. To govern the local area, one has to be familiar with the local geography and human feelings, so officials must have feudalism, which is a necessity and cannot be cut off. The officials are sent out by the court, waiting for one term, not to be placed in other places, and then another person is changed to an official. At this time, the officials in the yamen were the powerful men of the Han Dynasty, and the officials were the officials at that time."

"This is not intentional, but step by step will inevitably become like this. Go back to the previous sentence of Emperor Zhaolie of Shu, reporting to the country and sanctuary, officials naturally have these two identities. If officials do not want to confuse these two identities, they will distinguish the officials and officials according to these two identities."

Zhao Zhen was a little confused about Xu Ping's words, but he still understood the general meaning. The reason why there was a difference between officials and officials was because officials themselves had dual identities, and the government ruled with the people was separated from the identity of officials, and the court also had the identity of officials. The two were separated and eventually became two classes.

Xu Ping also said: "So when it comes to the official system, we must first distinguish the difference between officials and officials, which positions are officials, which positions are officials, and which positions are between the two, which can be considered officials and officials. How should officials be managed and how should officials be managed? Only by clarifying these can we be targeted. We cannot use the requirements of officials to ask officials, and we cannot use the requirements of officials to restrain officials. The two do different things, and their identities and requirements are of course different. From an official to an official, we can only understand the identities of both parties to be free from losing them."

"Your Majesty asked me about the system of officials. I can only say that I must first clearly understand every position in the court, whether it is required to be done by officials, or to be required by officials? Then I can arrange the right person to the right position. Only by understanding the difference between the two can I know the rewards and punishments for each position, and select the virtuous and the unworthy people. If I just say that the virtuous and the unworthy are not, it is actually the same as not saying it."

After hearing this long speech, Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "You are so hard that I understand. Some of the current official positions in the court have a respectable status, but in fact they may not be presided over by officials, while some of them have a humble status, but they cannot be entrusted to public officials. The reason is reasonable, but it is really difficult to start with!"

Xu Ping smiled and said, "It's difficult to say it's difficult, but it's actually simple? Where is the difficulty? Today, whether it's an official or an official, who is in his position and does not know what he should do, there are so many things, they are confused themselves, how can they be clear? What's simple and simple? Because the truth is clear, as long as you list the steps and do it step by step, you can always finish things. If you don't have two years to achieve one year, or even ten or twenty years, you can always complete it? Governing the world is like cooking small fresh food. What you fear most is that you are impatient, not how difficult it is."

Zhao Zhen asked, "Then do you think, where is the right way to start?"

"I, please start with the Third Division! It's not because I'm in the Third Division, but because the affairs of the Third Division are very complex, and more than half of the government affairs are now in the Third Division. Now I've cleared the Third Division and completed most of the time!"

Zhao Zhen nodded without even thinking about it, "I am just thinking about it! Okay, what I value is that I never fear difficulties! No matter how difficult it is, I never avoid it when it comes to me! Okay, let's start with the Three Sessions! After two days, when the affairs in the court are not so complicated, I will order the prime ministers to discuss together and make a charter!"

"Your Majesty, wise!" After saying that, Xu Ping looked up at Zhao Zhen. "However, Your Majesty, there is a saying that I want to say in front of you. What I said just now was that the difference between officials was because of unsuccessful reasons. Since it was because of unsuccessful reasons, there was only a difference in positions, and there was no distinction between high and low. For example, today's scholars looked down on officials after becoming officials, regarded them as villains, and even disdained to be complicated public officials. The three officials began to distinguish positions from officials, but they were treated equally, and there was no such distinction between high and low!"

Zhao Zhen lowered his head and thought, "You can't say that, there must be differences, and officials cannot be equated with officials."

"There are naturally differences, and the court's court's court's court's court's court's court's court's court's evasion is the most important, while officials do not require it. Different requirements naturally have different treatment differences. What I said is that there is no distinction between high and low!"

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "No matter whether it is an official, he is doing things for the court, so there should be no distinction between high and low!"

"Your Majesty said this, I know what it means."

Xu Ping knew in his heart that although Zhao Zhen said it happily, he would never think so. Not to mention the difference between officials, officials are also divided into common officials. The ministers in the court have always been taller than others. Those positions close to the emperor are never equal to ordinary positions. But no matter what, it is enough to have a major principle.

Seeing Xu Ping breathing a sigh of relief, Zhao Zhen said: "I agree with you, so I will do another thing."

"Your Majesty just give me instructions!" Xu Ping also spoke happily, but he was alert in his heart, afraid it was not a good thing.

Zhao Zhen looked down at Xu Ping's appearance and smiled and said, "You don't have to be nervous, I won't be difficult for you. How to change the three departments will be in compliance with you. The other officials in the court, how to start the official system, you will also issue a charter. I personally take charge of the government affairs and always do something, and I can't force you to do it."

Xu Ping breathed, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, I have done two small things when I first arrived at the Third Division. One is to set up the Editorial Regulations and the other is to train and teach the officials of the Third Division. What do you think?"

"You mean, I do the same, and gather officials to class?"

"This is what I mean! However, now those who have actual positions in the court now have many inconveniences to recruit. In addition to those who have affairs, there are many officials in the capital, especially many candidates. These people live a difficult life, and some of the candidates even died of starvation in the capital. In the past, in Yongzhou, my most capable subordinate was Duan Fang, the county magistrate of Ruhe. Unexpectedly, the candidates in the capital died of illness-"
