Two hundred and sixty-one thinking about the population explosion(1/2)

"Zhang Tang, Yan Yi!" Liu Che took a step forward and called out the names of these two people.

"I'm here!" Zhang Tang and Yan Yi hurriedly came out.

Liu Che pointed to the second row on the wooden sign and said to the two of them: "From now on, all the documents and notices in the Gu Palace will be collected by Qing Ji, reviewed by the second Qing, and then reported to Gu. All expenses and income should be paid."

Report to the Second Minister, all promotions and transfers of officials, big and small, except for the emperor's edict and the decree of the East Palace, will be issued by the Second Minister!"

Zhang Tang and Yan Yi looked at each other, and they could see shock and surprise in each other's eyes.

If this is the case, then the two of them have too much power!

In charge of administrative orders, finance, and the promotion and demotion of officials.

This is a small Prime Minister’s Mansion!

The Prime Minister's Mansion of the Han Dynasty was a gigantic palace with thousands of officials in charge.

Liu Che smiled.

The position of prime minister was created during the Warring States Period and was created to adapt to the increasingly fierce wars and diplomacy of various countries. In fact, it has gradually completed its historical mission.

From the middle and late period of Xiaozhu's rule, ancient China gradually realized the threat of the prime minister's power to the monarchy. At the same time, absolute power leads to absolute corruption.

After experiencing the three prime ministers Tian Fu, Li Cai, and Zhuang Qingzhai, especially Tian Fu, who took advantage of the power of the prime minister and ignored the people's livelihood, he broke the Yellow! Chang! Feng! Wenxue River embankment and flooded the mouth of the gourd, causing the Yellow River to change its course.

Zhuang Qingzhai created the unjust case of Zhang Tang, implicating the entire government and opposition parties, and hundreds of people were killed. After these two lessons, he began to set up an internal court and evade the prime minister.

With Xiaozhu's lesson, how could Liu Che create another deformed monster?

Ancient Chinese politics was outstanding in terms of checks and balances in the entire human history of the earth.

Later generations will brag about the separation of powers, but in fact, this is all leftover from the failure of the Chinese ancestors.

The fault is not that Jiashen Tianbian changed, Wu Sangui led the Manchus into the pass, and the world of later generations. Who is Boos, there are still two questions.

There is no country that understands the art of balance and checks and balances better than China, an ancient empire.

Liu Che said with a smile: "You two Qings, please don't be happy... Let the Second Qing take care of this. You may not have much power, but there are many things!"

In essence, Zhang Tang and Yan Yi were responsible for the work of the Later Generations, mainly running errands and delivering messages.

And because it is just a palace plus the 72 square kilometers of Sixian Garden, the power is really not that great. At best, it is similar to the power of a county magistrate.

The most important thing is that the two of them have no right to decide or choose.

For example, they do not have the right to decide those orders and those people's promotions. They mainly play the role of supervision and review.

Of course, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

This new organization will definitely be staffed with a sufficient number of officials.

When the time comes, we will see whether Zhang Tang is more tolerant or Yan Yi is more tolerant.

Liu Che thought for a while and then said: "Shang Rong, Yi Zong, the two Qings will help you and your servants to deal with these chores, especially Shang Rong. You have done it at the Shangshutai, so you should take care of Yi Zong!"

"

"No!" Shang Rong and Yi Zong went out to bow.

Others don't understand the prince's setting, but Shang Rong understands it very well.

Isn't this what he did at the Chancellor's desk in the past?

Organize documents, review documents and laws, supervise the expenditure and income of the Shaofu Yamen, and list them every year.

Although the matter is trivial, it is the key to the entire Shaofu Yamen being able to play its role despite numerous frauds and corruption.

Because the Shangshutai is an institution directly responsible to the emperor, the final results of their audits and reviews will be presented to the emperor.

Liu Che looked at it and found that there were still people who didn't understand it, so he said to Shang Rong: "Shang Qing, please explain it to me!"

When Shang Rong heard this, he kowtowed first and said: "I am stupid. Maybe what I said is wrong and my understanding is wrong. Please forgive me first!"

Then, he stood up, bowed to his colleagues on both sides, and said: "Gentlemen, if I understand correctly, what my family said is that the Ministry of Affairs is responsible for collecting all documents and orders, and passing them on to the Ministry.

The provincial department will review it before submitting it to your home!"

When he said this, many people immediately understood.

The hot inner temperatures of Zhang Tang and Yan Yi also cooled down slightly.

It seems that the power of this sect is limited to just that.

But if you think about it carefully, as an audit agency, how can you say it has no power?

Especially Zhang Tang, he could imagine with his eyes closed that there was huge power hidden in it.

If you think about it, the two official positions of Shi Yushi and Yu Shi Zhongcheng in the Yushi Dafu Yamen are responsible for supervision and review. You can guess the future of this province.

After listening to Shang Rong's explanation, Liu Che smiled and clapped. Although what Shang Rong said was slightly different from what he had conceived, it generally made it clear the difference between the Ministry of Affairs and the Ministry of Menxia.

In short, you can understand the three provinces and six ministries that Liu Che wants to establish as a separation of powers under the framework of a feudal system with Western Han characteristics.

The Ministry of Affairs is responsible for sorting and reporting.

The province is responsible for review and supervision.

Of course, there is still a missing link, the key legislation and implementation.

At this stage, Liu Che's ability to establish a complete division in each of the three provinces is almost the limit.

If you want to bring out the Six Ministries, firstly, the conditions are not mature, and secondly, even in its heyday, the total number of people in the entire palace was only one or two thousand at most, of which soldiers, servants, eunuchs and maids accounted for 80%.

There are only two to three hundred officials left, and the six-department system is of little significance and will give people an excuse to criticize.

Therefore, Liu Che decided not to establish six departments for the time being, but to first explore the operations of the three provinces, accumulate experience, and cultivate talents.

Therefore, Liu Che planned to take the lead in this most critical aspect of the Western Han Dynasty version of Zhongshu Sheng, and then entrust it to his ministers after it was on track and matured.

Of course, you definitely can't say something like "I think you don't have enough experience and something may go wrong. I need to be here to check things out. Otherwise, where will the ministers' face be?"

This book saver still needs a table to support it.

Who is the most suitable?

Liu Che looked at Ju Meng and said: "Queen Ju. From now on, all documents and notices reviewed by the province will be handed over to you for execution!"

Ju Meng came out to pay homage and said: "In my family, I am a vulgar person with little education. This kind of thing..."

Liu Che waved his hand and said with a smile: "I asked Wei Xin, Zhou Yuan, and Master Yan to come and help you. Besides, you should study more! I think so. After three days apart, you should treat each other with admiration! I would like to express these words to you.

mutual encouragement!"

"Since my family trusts me, I will not disappoint my family!" Ju Meng said and kowtowed.

For him, he is indeed feeling more and more pressure.

As Liu De turned into Liu Che and then into the crown prince and moved into the crown prince's womb, the up and down changes were huge.

He is just a knight-errant, and anyone in this hall has read many times as many books as he has.

In fact, he has a great sense of inferiority in his heart.

Especially when seeing Ji An and Yan Yi.

One of these two people has been an official for generations. He has been an official for more than ten generations.

The other one is simply a direct descendant of Yan Hui. The servants can be traced back to the time of Hui Zi. They are from a family of scholars and a family of farmers and readers.

Therefore, Ju Meng has hired someone to give him extra education lessons these days.

But the more he read, the more he realized his humbleness and insignificance.

He was really unsure whether he could carry out the task ordered by the prince.

However, as a knight-errant, he has a stubborn temper.

Once you promise something, you have to do it even to the death!

"I'll treat you with admiration after three days of separation! Your family will regard me as a national scholar, and I will repay you as a national scholar!" Ju Meng swore in his heart.

It is true. At this time, the word scholar has a very important weight in people's hearts, especially in the eyes of people with little education like Ju Meng, it is quite important!

Liu Che had no idea what Ju Meng was thinking at this time. For Liu Che, the main reason why he appointed Ju Meng to be the head of Zhongshu Province was for better control.

He took two steps, pointed at the wooden sign and said, "From now on, you will be the person in charge of the Zhongshu Province!"

Liu Che looked at all the ministers, cupped his hands and said: "From now on, I hope that all ministers, under the guidance of the Ministry of Affairs, the Ministry of Menxia and the Ministry of Zhongshu, will be loyal to Your Majesty and your subordinates will work together!"

"No!" All the ministers bowed and bowed.

At this time, many people began to think of climbing on the giant's lap.

How can you live in officialdom without forming cliques?

After the banquet, Liu Che left behind the three provincial leaders including Ji An, Zhang Tang, Yan Yi, and Ju Meng.

We carefully discussed and broke down with them the things that the three provinces are responsible for and how to deal with them.

At the same time, they were also required to communicate and discuss with him as soon as possible if they discovered any flaws or loopholes or encountered any problems in execution.

After all, the system of three provinces and six ministries was a product that flourished after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Liu Che had no idea whether it would be acclimated to the current climate and lead to any mistakes or omissions after thousands of years.

In addition, the three-province system he has created now is actually a combination of his previous practice in Hejian Kingdom and the three-province-six-ministry system of later generations, the nine-elder system of the Celestial Dynasty, and the social characteristics of this time. It is similar to the real three-province system.
