Liu Yu said solemnly: "Just like Wang Zhengjun, when he finally faced the usurper from his nephew Wang Mang, he fought tooth and nail to defend the Liu family. He even wanted to smash the imperial seal to prevent Wang Mang from usurping the throne. This is also the imperial seal."
The origin of the missing corner, but if it really comes to this point, how can a female generation stop it? In my opinion, the emperor's inheritance system that only looks at blood and not ability is what is needed
It has completely changed. Wang Mang is qualified to dominate the world with his virtue and ability. Others also have this ability and should have this opportunity."
Liu Jingxuan said seriously: "So you think that the emperor's son may not necessarily have such virtues and abilities, so it is necessary to give way to the virtuous. The sons and nephews of the aristocratic family may not have the abilities of their fathers, so they also need to make way for the virtuous. This is to completely destroy the family."
Land changes, right?”
Liu Yu nodded and said: "If the family world is just the private property of your family, it needs to be protected and preserved, but if it is a public power, there is no reason to stay forever, because the world is for the public and belongs to everyone.
It's not that you can really become the emperor's family by using the banner of Daitian herdsmen, nor can you pretend to be the emperor's real power and let the emperor be a puppet, so that your big family can hold power forever. Although there are many families in the world.
Hundreds of aristocratic families take turns to be in power and share power, or it can be said that the four major guards like Black Hand Qiankun are in power secretly. But in the end, the power does not go beyond the aristocratic family, and others have no way to rise. Moreover, all discussions and voting are done secretly, and most of them are plotting to harm the people.
This is not advisable.”
"So what I want from the Political Hall, and the intelligence agency behind it, is for virtuous and capable people to transfer to this organization after giving up their actual power, specifically to monitor the administration of civil servants and military generals.
With this move, they can no longer directly take power as officials. Otherwise, while supervising and administering the government and the military, it will soon become an organization with no restraints and a few people dominate it. This is tantamount to putting the dark side of the world on the bright side.
And their discussions will gradually no longer be made public, so this should be avoided."
Liu Jingxuan murmured: "I kind of understand your thinking. This is actually the same as what you just said about the separation of civil and military affairs at the grassroots level. You want to separate power, so that the current officials and generals who have the power in their hands are
Someone monitors and evaluates their work so that they can no longer monopolize power as before. Especially the local officials who are appointed from abroad do whatever they want, and the task of monitoring their work falls to the important ministers and commanders who once held power as officials and had a huge intelligence agency under their command.
In their hands, after they have resigned or retired from the army, they have begun to specifically monitor and inspect the performance of officials in various places. If they continue to act recklessly and violate disciplines, they will be removed from office, and their responsibilities will be investigated and punished according to national laws."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Ah Shou, you have made great progress. You can understand these things as soon as you hear them. Do you think there will be any problems if I implement this idea in the future?"
Liu Jingxuan curled up his lips and said: "I think it sounds good, but there may be problems in practice. The retired officials in the political hall are high-ranking officials who used to have great power, not the minister of servants.
, that is, generals and commanders. After they retire, it is likely that their original subordinates, subordinates, students, and even nephews will succeed officials and generals from various places. Will such supervision turn into officials protecting each other and shielding each other, or
In order to protect the interests of his faction and attack the factions of other political hall elders who are not dealing with him, he will use this intelligence agency to cover up the illegal behavior of the officials and generals he wants to protect, and to do everything possible to find
What’s wrong with the other party?”
Liu Yu laughed, patted Liu Jingxuan on the shoulder, and said: "Your idea is very good. The elders of the Zhengshitang actually have the power to appoint and remove officials and generals in the world. This power is too great. It is equivalent to what was done before."
The emperor's power is distributed to several elders in the political hall. If there are conflicts and personal grudges among these elders, then the situations you mentioned may indeed occur."
"So, the elders of the political affairs hall must give priority to virtue. You may have made a mistake just now, that is, the elders of the political affairs hall must be high-ranking officials and generals at the level of servants, ministers, and commanders. But I didn't say that.
, even in my opinion, as long as the elders of the political affairs hall have experience as county guards, they are qualified to join, because they are familiar with local government affairs and know the government affairs situation at the county level, which is better than senior officials who have been officials in the central court for a long time.
, and even more aware of all kinds of corruption and fraud underneath."
Liu Jingxuan's eyes widened: "A county governor, who is not even a governor, can enter the political hall? Isn't this unrealistic? Isn't the position too low? I'm afraid others are unlikely to be convinced."
Liu Yu said calmly: "This requires controlling the proportion later. It cannot be all central court officials entering the political hall, nor can all local officials join. But no matter what the proportion is, one thing must be insisted on, that
Those who enter the political hall must not only have rich experience in power and governance, but also have good moral conduct and a public heart. This is more important than anything else."
Liu Jingxuan immediately said: "Then how to show this public heart? Who will judge whether this person is a public-minded person? Isn't it possible to have a public heart if you don't let your nephews come out to be officials and behave very cleanly? Many people can act,
He will hide it. For example, Wang Mang, in order to become emperor, would even kill all his sons who broke the law. Who can compare to him in terms of publicity and law-abiding? Before usurping the throne, everyone thought he was a saint, but only after he ascended the throne.
Expose your true colors, such a traitor seems to be loyal, a fake seems to be true, how can you judge?"
Liu Yu nodded vigorously and listened carefully. After Liu Jingxuan finished speaking, he said seriously: "What you said makes sense. In order to control the power of the political hall, someone must pretend like this, because if it is for
If you take power by yourself, you can even sacrifice your nephews and subordinates, so that you can be honest and not greedy for money for a long time. Therefore, there should not be only one elder in the political hall, but there must be multiple ones. In this way, Wang Mang can supervise and check each other.
It is impossible to deceive the eyes of the world, but it is absolutely impossible for multiple Wang Mang to come together, especially if a bunch of Wang Mang get together to supervise and restrain each other, then it is impossible to achieve the result of having sole control of power for eternity."
