On the first day of August, the leather materials Bian Tao saw in Yewang were sent to Luoyang.
What is the black lambskin made of? Of course it is used to make ceremonial robes, or the highest level sacrificial robes.
The overall tone is upper and lower.
Xuan, which represents the rising of the sun in a day, is a black and red color.
, represents the setting of the sun in a day, and is a yellow with reddish color.
It has been popular since the pre-Qin period and will continue to be popular until now.
It is not often worn on weekdays, but for very formal occasions, such as Zhengdan court meetings, announcements to heaven, sacrifices to family temples, etc., it is necessary to wear this outfit and enthronement is naturally included.
Moreover, the new dynasty is Shui De, still black, and the black lamb fur hat is also very consistent in color, which is perfect.
"Fortunately, the weather had cooled down by then, otherwise it would have been really hot wearing this." Shao Xun touched the leather with perfect texture and said, "
It’s rare for the Duke to be so thoughtful.”
Yu Wenjun stood aside, also a little happy.
She was happy for her husband. She had struggled for him for more than 20 years and was finally close to the top.
However, despite the joy, there are still some small emotions after all.
"Your Majesty is very filial," she said softly.
Shao Xun was slightly taken aback and said with a smile: "He treats me as a father and I protect his power and position, that's all."
Yu Wenjun was noncommittal and looked calm.
Shao Xun felt a little uncomfortable. He put down the black lamb skin and asked the young man to make it as soon as possible. Then he looked at his wife and hesitated to speak.
"Okay, husband." Seeing the man's appearance, Yu Wenjun felt a little better. He took his hand and said, "Business matters are important. Let's go and take care of politics."
Shao Xun nodded, looked at his wife again, and went to the General's Mansion.
The abdication has entered the later stage, and the most important benefit distribution plan of the new dynasty has finally been released.
"It's really not easy." Shao Xun flicked the hard yellow paper in his hand and sighed.
Everyone, including Yang Man, bowed their heads, but their minds were still on the yellow paper.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Yan would continue to serve as prime minister. According to their understanding of the situation, Wang Yifu may be the first and last prime minister of the Liang Dynasty.
After his death, the post of prime minister will be abolished and replaced by ministers, ministers, and officials of the three provinces under the sect, namely Shangshu Ling, Zhongshu Jian, and Shizhong.
Among them, there is one member each for Shangshu Ling and Zhongshu Supervisor. The number of servants is variable, usually two, sometimes slightly more.
Yang Man is a minister and often participates in important events beside the King of Liang. He really wants to enter the institution called "Zhengshitang" and be on the same level as Shangshu Ling and Zhongshu Jian. Even if he is weaker and has a lower status, it is still great.
Glory, because he entered the political affairs hall, he is actually the prime minister - due to the decentralization of power, he should be one of the prime ministers.
Zhang Bin looked calm.
He came from the fourth rank, Zhongshu Shilang. King Liang had already said privately that after the founding of the country, he was the third rank Zhongshu Supervisor. This position was originally from the second rank, but Liang Wang felt that he had the power to draft edicts.
The provincial chief officer should not be too high in rank, so he was demoted one level.
But Zhang Bin doesn't care anymore.
During the great epidemic five years ago, a relative in his family passed away, and he himself felt unwell for a time. Fortunately, the King of Liang paid great attention to him, and not only sent famous doctors to diagnose and treat him, but also took him to the empty Shanglin Garden to recuperate. Only then did he survive.
come over.
Otherwise, he felt that he could not escape the disaster.
After experiencing such a life-and-death event, he has looked past it.
It doesn't matter whether he can go further. As a descendant of Shi Le, he has a shallow foundation in the court and has already made too many people jealous, so there is no need to be too active.
If the King of Liang gives it to an official, he will take it. If he doesn't give it, he won't be disappointed, that's all.
Liang Fenze, the official minister, was sitting on the ground.
He should be able to move a little bit, but he won't expect to be in the position of Shangshu Ling.
It's not that there is no hope, there is definitely hope, but the competition is very fierce. He knows whether Xizhou's basic base can support Shangshu Ling, the number one person under the prime minister.
You must know that as the department that dominates the other two provinces among the three provinces, the Shangshu Ling is the second-rank official. He is responsible for the affairs of the six ministers and can almost be regarded as a "little prime minister."
There was a rumor last month: "The King of Liang wants to depose the ministerial order and will not take up the post, but will take it as a servant."
Now it seems that this is just a rumor and Shangshu Order will continue to exist.
Under the Shangshu order, if the left and right servants are not separated, there will only be one "Shang Shuserve".
Liang Fen knew very well that Shangshu Pushe or Shangshu Zuopushe would be his position, because the King of Liang needed to win over the scholars and wealthy families of Xizhou.
That's what court politics is all about, endless calculations and balances.
Some people are very capable, but due to various reasons, they find it difficult to hold high positions and are forced to give up opportunities to others.
Some people have average ability, but by chance, a high-ranking official will fall on you. You don't even think about it, and the emperor will be angry.
"Is it possible to discuss the matter of setting up the Privy Council, the Training Academy, and the Military Academy in isolation?" Shao Xun put down the yellow paper, stood up, and looked at the blue sky outside the door and asked.
"There is no discussion. People at that time may not know much about these three courtyards." Yangman, the servant, replied.
"It's fine if there isn't one. Recruiting troops is so popular that there must be an office in charge of recruiting troops." Shao Xun said: "The dynasty of the country began to set up provinces, and there were criticisms at the beginning. If there are some rumors, just let them go. Lead the army with the center, and protect it with the center.
The army leads the country's elite with few checks and balances, which is really child's play."
Yamen such as the Privy Council, the Training Academy, and the Military Academy first appeared in history during the feudal separatist period in the Middle Tang Dynasty.
The Chang'an imperial court established a Privy Council, which was headed by a middle official after Emperor Dezong. It usually also held other positions, such as the Tenth Army and the Twelve Guards, Military Envoy, etc. If he did not hold the post concurrently, he would be a lame Privy Councilor, ranking lower among the eunuchs and warriors.
.
The Privy Council only had control over the mobilization of the imperial army.
Coaching Academy, as the name suggests, is a training department.
The Military Academy is the logistics department.
The latter two are mostly found in vassal towns. They do not have a privy council, but they have a low-level replacement agency: Duyu Housi.
If the generals do not go on an expedition and clock in at Duyu Housi, they have no contact with the army, nor can they manage daily training and logistics and finance. They are only responsible for leading troops in combat, that is, the soldiers and generals are separated.
The Northern Song Dynasty learned this.
But this method cannot completely prevent rebellion, because the system is strict enough, but it is missing a link: ethos.
In the eyes of people whose minds are full of revolutionary thoughts, this system cannot restrain them.
In the eyes of people who are tired of rebellion, don't want to go through the trouble, or are full of loyalty and patriotism, this system is useful.
System and culture complement each other and neither one can exist without the other.
Fortunately, the current trend is still very good.
Even in the Northern and Southern Dynasties in history, the rebellious ethos and ideas were not as outrageous as those of the Yamen soldiers in the late Tang Dynasty. The rebellion in the Southern and Northern Dynasties was more of an institutional problem, and the ethos was actually okay.
The chief officer of the Privy Council, the Training Academy, and the Military Academy is called "Jian", each with one member, and his deputy is called "Shao Jian", with two members each.
The chief officials of these three courtyards are Chen Yougen, Pei Kuo and Mi Huang.
Chen Yougen is responsible for mobilizing troops and horses. Without him, no one can mobilize the imperial army.
Pei Kuo is responsible for the training of the Forbidden Army. His ability is average, but he can just follow the script. The training and assessment model of the Yinqiang and other armies are very mature. Mi Huang is responsible for the money, food, equipment and other logistical affairs of the Forbidden Army.
The three people check and balance each other, and each battalion of the Forbidden Army is led by Shao Xun's disciples, so there is no danger - of course, in terms of his prestige, no one dares to rebel even if the leader is reset, but he has to do it for
Think about your children and grandchildren, right?
"The Eight Imperial Guards and the Third Imperial Guard are under the direct control of the Emperor." Shao Xun turned around, looked at everyone, and said: "In the future, the Third Imperial Army may be transferred to the Fifth Military Academy, but I will still be in charge. As for the Fifth Military Academy,
The name Bing Cao is one by one."
Having said this, he looked at Zhang Bin and asked, "Do you want to change it?"
Zhang Bin cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Five Military Ministers follow the old system of the Wei and Jin Dynasties and govern the central, external, cavalry, and other departments."
"Cao Cao of the Central Army is in charge of the troops and horses within the ki, Cao Cao of the Foreign Army is in charge of the troops and horses outside the ki, Cao Cao of the Cavalry is in charge of the cavalry, Cao is in charge of the troops of the other Hus, and Cao is in charge of the troops and horses in the capital."
"In the military system of the new dynasty, the forbidden troops were stationed outside the capital and within the prefecture. However, they were dispatched by the Privy Council, and they were duplicated by the Central Soldier Cao."
"The Su guards come from the military mansions of the world and are stationed inside and outside the palace to fight against the capital soldiers."
"The cavalry also has three imperial guards."
"Only the Foreign Bing Cao and the Bing Bing Cao are still useful. I thought it would be better to combine them into the Ministry of War. The Five Ministers of the Army were renamed the Minister of the Ministry of War."
"This minister is in charge of the military records, chariots and horses, equipment, ceremonial guards, maps, and postal transmissions of the Hu soldiers, Shi soldiers, Zhen soldiers, as well as the Shaofu, Weiwei, and Imperial servants."
"Conscription matters and the relocation of military attachés also fall under his jurisdiction."
After hearing this, Shao Xun thought for a long time and nodded slowly.
Since the Cao Wei Dynasty, system reforms have actually been carried out. To put it more fashionably, productivity is different and the social landscape is also different.
Even Sima Jin carried out a certain degree of institutional innovation.
The Liang Dynasty not only had remnants of the old era, but also had many new things. It would definitely not work without institutional innovation.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, we must continue to observe and make changes.
There are no hard-to-change systems and unchangeable laws in this world. Reform is always ongoing, rather than expecting to be solved once and for all.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War must handle matters such as servants serving as government soldiers, the transfer of military attachés, and even the evaluation of honorary officers." Liang Fen, the Minister of Personnel, said.
Shao Xun pondered for a moment and said, "This matter will be discussed later."
"Yes." Liang Fen responded and Shao Xun thought about it again. The political affairs hall led the three provinces and six ministries. This was the civil servant framework and it was basically settled.
The eight guards of the government, the three houses of the forbidden army, and the military department of the minister manage the world's soldiers and horses. This is the framework of the military ministers and has been set.
The other temples, prisons, and mansions are not so important.
Many of these departments existed long before the emergence of the ministries in the three provinces of Wei and Jin, namely the earliest Jiuqing.
After the three provinces became real power agencies, the powers of Jiu Temple were greatly reduced, and they were also suspected of overlapping business.
But why hasn't Jiusi been revoked? Because it can form constraints with the various departments (six ministries) under the Shangshu Province to prevent one family from dominating. For example, Duzhi Cao in the Six Ministries of Shangshu is in charge of financial expenditures. But in an era when physical goods accounted for the majority of fiscal revenue
, the harvested grain is managed by Sinong Temple, because this department is responsible for warehousing affairs.
This includes both the overlapping and confusing factors of institutions during the transition from old to new, as well as the reasons for mutual checks and balances. It is very complicated.
In the future, Shao Xun will also reform the six departments of Dianzhong, Duzhi, Zuomin, Tian, ​​Wubing and Li under the jurisdiction of Shangshu Province.
This was different from the six departments of Rites, Households, Punishments, Officials, Soldiers, and Works that he was familiar with in later generations, and he was even less accustomed to it.
For example, Zuo Mincao is a combination of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works. It sounds strange, but when you think about the need to recruit people for construction, it is not strange that the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works are combined. Because Zuo Mincao itself needs construction
project.
Moreover, Zuo Mincao does not have the power to collect taxes. The power to collect taxes lies with local counties. Duzhi Zhonglang will be responsible for transshipment, Sinong Temple will be responsible for storage management, and Duzhi Cao will be responsible for expenses.
Shao Xun couldn't stand the chaotic system of the past, but he was more sober and knew that he could not blindly move closer to the system of later generations and had to be careful.
At present, in Miaojiu Temple, which is still controlled by tranquility, he only directly interferes in the appointment and removal of officials in three departments, namely Weiwei Temple, Zongzheng Temple, and Dali Temple.
Zong Zhengqing was appointed by his uncle Liu Shan.
Dali Temple replaced the Tingwei, and the third brother Shao became the Dali Qing.
The former Wei Qing, Chen Xi, was proposed to be appointed Minister Youpu She, and the new Wei Qing was Pingyang City Gate School Wei Jing Cheng.
A series of appointment and dismissal lists will be "leaked" by someone and slowly spread.
Shao Xun will slowly observe the reactions of officials from various civil and military factions, and may make slight adjustments.
After it was completely settled, it was time to change the government.
On the first day of August, the angel returned and presented the third abdication edict.
Shao Xun refused for the third time on the grounds that "I have been living in the Jin Dynasty for many years and I can't bear to destroy the Sima family's foundation."
This was also the last rejection.
Next time, he will reluctantly agree to become emperor under the persuasion of everyone's tears.
Chapter completed!
