As for the so-called name of Zhongzhou.￥f,

The ministers are also no strangers.

Although Yu paid tribute to nine states in the world, he did not have the name of Zhongzhou.

Among the twelve states of Emperor Yao, there was no central state.

But this does not mean that Zhongzhou does not exist.

Just like the name "China", it has been around since ancient times.

No one needs to deliberately name and strengthen it.

The ancient kings always ruled China and dominated the world.

As for the name of Zhongzhou, as early as the Warring States Period, the Yin Yang family and the astrologer family had already spread the legend.

Not long ago, the most famous Yixue giant in the world, the Japanese Sima Jizhu, released his latest book called "Tianguan Sujie".

As soon as this book was published, it was naturally circulated by nobles and scholar-officials.

In this book, the so-called Zhongzhou concept was clearly proposed for the first time.

According to what Lord Sima Ji said: The lunar eclipse begins on the first day of the month...it starts again in the 11th month of the lunar calendar. Therefore, lunar eclipses are common and solar eclipses are not known. A and B are outside the four seas, and the sun and moon do not occupy

, Bing, Ding, Jianghuai, Haidai. Wu, Ji, Zhongzhou, Heji...

As soon as this book was released, it immediately caused an uproar.

And it caused huge waves in the world of Shilin and Shengun.

Because it denies the common sense that solar and lunar eclipses are warnings and warnings from ‘heaven’ to the king.

Instead, I listed the practical information, quoted all the records of solar and lunar eclipses recorded in Qing History since Zhou Gong summoned the public and took power to this day, and then told the world: Solar and lunar eclipses are not the intention of "Heaven". They are related to the withering of vegetation, the sunset and the rising sun

Generally speaking, it is a natural phenomenon and a cyclical regular event.

Many people were furious, even furious.

But in the end, they all had no choice but to lower their heads.

This is because, in today's world, there is no more authoritative star in astrology and Yi studies than Sima Jizhu.

The top academics have spoken out, how can the scumbags keep chirping?

What's more, the data is complete and informative, and the records of solar and lunar eclipses quoted are all well-documented.

You are just a fool. As long as you see the records listed by others, you will know that solar and lunar eclipses are indeed moving in cycles.

The one most affected by "Tianguan Sujie" is undoubtedly the world of magic sticks.

Alchemists and sorcerers therefore had to adjust their deceptive strategies.

But now, the officials finally know.

The biggest impact is on the DPRK situation.

"Tianguan Sujie" is the pioneer and the emperor's test of scholarly public opinion.

The so-called division of the twelve states that follows immediately is the main meal!

If that's the case...

"You are indeed worthy of being Taizong's designated heir..." Many people murmured in their hearts: "This kind of behavior is almost the same as Taizong!"

He was good at planning and then acting, and was good at using combination punches and combos. This was exactly the impression that Emperor Taizong left on his ministers.

Liu Che did not care about the inner thoughts of his ministers.

He looked at the map.

Originally, he had not thought about implementing the twelve-state system so soon.

In his plan, he should have set up four major protective offices on the four borders first, and then divided the states into states after the construction of the protective offices was completed.

However, the actions and actions of the bureaucrats forced him to come up with the state-by-state system in advance.

Because he knew very well that if the current trend could not be stopped and eliminated immediately.

Then, its impact will be infinite.

It will not only affect the present, but also change the future.

Think about it, as soon as the young scholars who took the exams arrived at the place, they saw that their seniors were busy improving their political achievements, but the court was indifferent.

The brushes are brushing hard one after another, but those who don't brush cannot be promoted.

In this case, will they not swipe?

And once they embark on the road of improving their political performance, these people will become addicts.

Brush from the beginning to the end.

It ends up leaving a huge mess.

Therefore, this unhealthy trend must be corrected and curbed.

However, governing a big country is like cooking small dishes.

From the emperor's point of view, if you use the thunderous wind, strike hard and destroy the brush.

It may cause great unrest across the country.

As the saying goes, the law does not blame everyone.

Even the emperor doesn't have many solutions when faced with the collective behavior of thousands of bureaucrats.

When it comes to being tough from the front, Liu Che is the best at being tough.

However, it will inevitably set off the biggest major case since Zhu Luhou.

There are heads rolling in to kill.

Even conservative estimates suggest that tens of thousands of bureaucrats have lost their jobs, thousands of people have been exiled, and at least a thousand heads have fallen to the ground.

It will further intensify the conflict between the emperor as the ruler and the scholar-bureaucrats and landlords below.

It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss.

As emperor, Liu Che always established a political principle: attack the small group and unite the majority.

He always knows that he must win the support of the majority.

Only in this way can political stability and national order be ensured.

What's more, at present, the group of scholars who take the exams is only dominant in Guanzhong.

In most other places, the old bureaucracy is still running.

If he acts rashly and kills those bureaucrats, who will help Liu Che maintain local rule?

Therefore, Liu Che’s choice is to kill the chicken and scare the monkey!

Let’s start with Guanzhong. Anyway, the number of scholars in Guanzhong already has an absolute advantage at the grassroots level.

Today, there are fifty-three of the sixty-eight counties in Guanzhong, and more than 70% of the positions are occupied by scholars.

Taking this opportunity to use the guise of Zhongzhou to kill the remaining old bureaucrats, especially the nepotistic grassroots bureaucrats, is of course the first choice.

"In Guanzhong, the majority of people (in the examination and promotion subsystem) are bound to be happy to see that small group of people (old grassroots bureaucrats) suffer misfortune!" Liu Che thought to himself.

And the Zhongzhou that was thrown out actually existed to crack down on and hold accountable those scoundrels, local powerful people, and government officials.

The same is true for the twelve states.

"I will appoint the governor of the state to supervise the counties and countries of the world!" Liu Che looked at the ministers, opened his hands and said: "Considering that there is no precedent, I will try it out in Zhongzhou first!"

"Place a governor of Zhongzhou with a rank of two thousand stones to oversee the entire territory of Zhongzhou, including all local counties and counties except Chang'an and the tombs of the late emperors!"

"The position of the governor is based on my orders, and under the pretense of my authority, I travel around the prefectures and counties, supervise and handle lawsuits, whether it is possible to depose the governor, and decide and resolve unjust cases. I ask questions according to the six articles. If the questions are not asked by the articles, the local officials will not bother!"

Liu Che confidently said to the ministers: "One rule: make the clan strong and powerful, use the strong to bully the weak, and use the masses to oppress the few!"

This is the national policy of the Liu family that has remained unchanged for decades.

Resolutely attack and eliminate powerful local clans and safeguard the supremacy of state power.

No family law or private law is allowed to override national law.

Furthermore, no family or powerful family is allowed to control local politics.

Anyone who dares to violate this rule will be killed even if he is a prince or a relative!

"Two Articles: Two thousand stones and local officials do not follow the imperial edict, obey the law, turn against the public for private purposes, ignore the edicts to keep profit, invade the people, and gather money for traitors!"

This is the sharp edge that cuts through the bureaucracy.

Moreover, Liu Che specifically emphasized "obeying the law" and "obeying edicts and observing benefits."

His attitude was actually to ask the governor to help him clean up those brushes.

If we follow this rule, none of those who report false or arbitrary data will be able to escape.

However, when the governor handles the case, the result is different than when the emperor issues an edict and the three divisions manage the case.

It is the job of the governor to make corrections.

Identify problems and deal with them promptly and reasonably.

More importantly, if the impact is not particularly bad, the person will usually be dismissed from his post and allowed to go home and farm.

In this way, the means are limited to relatively gentle and gentle normal personnel appointments and removals, rather than life-and-death political strife.
