Chapter four hundred and ninetieth overbearing can not be king
Liu Xiang's words made Xun Yu silent for a long time.
To be honest, if you want to end the troubled times, the person in front of you is the best choice, and the Lord is indeed a wise king.
Don't be extravagant, work hard to govern, be considerate of the people, love soldiers like sons, have an unparalleled military strategy, and dominate the world.
End the troubled times, end the troubled times! Xun Yu's heart was agitated, this was what he wanted all his life.
However, one cannot distinguish between good and bad, just because they are the children of a wealthy family, one should find any excuse to kill them.
This is not right!
That’s not the truth!
"They can farm and do business. As long as the lord gives them a chance, they can do it. Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants will always have a way out to calm the troubled times. You can't just kill them all. There is no such reason."
Xun Yu himself didn't realize that his voice was full of pleading.
Liu Xiang has become powerful. He has a population of 20 million, hundreds of thousands of troops, and millions of militia under his control. Many children from poor families have joined him. New nobles have emerged. The old aristocratic families of the Han Dynasty have become yesterday's flowers and are completely powerless.
resist his will.
It was extremely difficult for Xun Yu to maintain the dignity of his family, otherwise he would not have acted in tandem with the scholars of the Central Plains.
This is an extremely taboo thing. It means risking one's life. Life and death only depend on the Lord's thoughts, because this is the path of a powerful minister, and under the current situation, it is impossible for him to become a powerful minister who can lead hundreds of officials.
At the very least, the generals' group would not listen to him, nor would his relatives or clan members.
"My lord, you cannot rule the world by being tyrannical."
"Wen Ruo, this is not the difference between kingliness and domineering. Do you know what kind of behavior is most hated by others?" Liu Xiang supported the railing in the corridor with his hand and continued without waiting for Xun Yu to answer:
"Taking away something owned by others is very resentful. Human nature is to fight for the lost benefits. They will deliberately take it back and pass this hatred to their children and grandchildren. There are some hidden dangers, but it is better to deal with them as soon as possible.
It’s better to dispose of it.”
Xun Yu could not refute this. He was neither an ignorant young man nor a hypocrite with flexible moral standards.
After being stunned for a long time, I really couldn't think of how to refute, so I said in a low mood: "I, I am begging for bones."
Liu Xiang rolled her eyes at him. He was only in his thirties, a beggar skeleton, and patted his shoulder: "It's too hot outside. Come with me to the study to talk."
After saying that, he turned around and left. He was afraid of the heat and wanted to go to the study to enjoy the coolness. As he walked, he said loudly: "Is Wenruo depressed? We have agreed to work together to put an end to troubled times. I am not the kind of person who can only share adversity.
People who share wealth and honor, the position of Shangshu Ling is still waiting for you. Future Xun Lingjun, come with me to the study room and let's discuss the issue of reorganizing the official system."
He was indeed wary of the energy of the Yingchuan Xun family, not just for a day or two. He knew from the beginning that he was not aware of this problem until this joint campaign, so he did not have any negative emotions such as being forced into the palace.
I had been using the Jizhou Group and my relatives as a check and balance before, and I didn't feel the anger caused by the situation being out of control.
He couldn't bear to put aside such an excellent tool man as Xun Yu, let alone kill him. It was such a pity for such a great talent.
He had long wanted to change the official system into a system of three provinces and six ministries, and had been thinking about it for several years. He just took advantage of the opportunity of enthroning the throne to enrich the central government with officials in the government, and changed the system in one fell swoop.
In fact, he also wanted to establish a grade system. Official positions in the Han Dynasty did not have clear grades, but were only divided by salary. There were also a lot of hidden rules, which was quite confusing.
Because I have never been involved in official circles, many things are unclear. Instead of learning those messy things, it is better to re-establish the rules myself.
He has the qualifications to be willful.
Xun Yu came today with the intention of being punished, but looking at Liu Xiang's back, he naturally followed him. Since when did he become accustomed to following this figure?
I really haven’t thought about this issue carefully, as if it has become an established fact by subtle influences.
There was an ice mirror placed in the study room of the side hall. The golden bronze surface exuded a refreshing cool air, which drove the heat of midsummer out of the hall. The blazing sunshine at noon was also blocked outside. Liu Xiang drank a bowl.
The chilled sour plum soup made me breathe out a breath of coolness with great enjoyment, feeling refreshed from the inside out.
Comfortable!
In order to take care of Xun Yu's hobbies, he ordered people to light a burner of agarwood and prepare to discuss the official system.
"In the old days, the official system was a bit messy, with overlapping powers and unclear clarity. I intentionally set up a three-province and six-ministry system. I had already established the Menxia Province before, to take care of my private property and manage the attendants and staff around me. This will not change in the future.
Afterwards, it was planned to establish the Zhongshu Province, which would be under the control of Zhongshu Ling, who would be in charge of secrets and issue edicts.
Then the Shangshu Tai was changed to the Shangshu Province, which was governed by the Shangshu Ling. Six departments were established under it, including the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment.
The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the assessment, appointment and dismissal of officials; it transfers the powers and responsibilities of Si Nong to the Ministry of Household Affairs, which manages the court's treasury, finance and taxation, household registration, and salaries; the Ministry of War is responsible for military registration, ordnance, military orders, etc.; it transfers the powers and responsibilities of Sikong
The Ministry of Industry is in charge of various projects, craftsmen, farming, and water conservancy;
The Ministry of Rites manages sacrifices, academic affairs, and vassal diplomatic affairs; the Ministry of Punishments is in charge of national criminal decrees and the review of criminal names. However, I don’t want to include Tingwei in it. I want the two ministries to stand side by side and establish a supreme judicial department for mutual supervision.
The chief official of the six departments is Shangshu, under whom there are ministers, ministers, chief ministers, and historians.
As for the classification of officials at all levels, I haven't thought about it yet. Does Wen Ruo have any suggestions?"
Xun Yu blinked and felt that this was a good opportunity. Instead of thinking carefully about the division of responsibilities among the three provinces and six ministries, he quickly recommended talents: "I recommend a great talent who has great ideas about official hierarchy and is good at law.
I will definitely be able to help my lord."
"Does Wen Ruo admire this person so much? Tell me quickly who he is!" Liu Xiang was very interested. Xun Wen Ruo was a treasure trove of talents.
"His name is Chen Qun, his surname is long, he is from Xuxian County, Yingchuan, he is talented and has good character."
Of course Chen Qun and Liu Xiang knew that a descendant of the Chen family in Yingchuan, the founder of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, and the main compiler of "Wei Lv", had served as Shangshu Ling and Sikong in the Cao Wei Group, and he was a talented person in governing the world.
He was also Xun Yu's student and son-in-law.
I just don’t know if I can marry Xun Yu’s daughter at this time.
"Where is Chen Changwen now? Send an audience to conquer him immediately." Liu Xiang had a headache about the classification of officials. The founder of the nine-grade Zhongzheng system could indeed bring a lot of help.
Of course, he will definitely not fully adopt this system.
In fact, the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, also known as the Nine-Rank Official Personnel System, was the system for selecting officials of the Cao Wei Group in its early days. It inherited the imperial examination system of the Han Dynasty and the imperial examination system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It occupies a very important position in the history of ancient Chinese political systems.
It is one of the three elected official systems in Chinese feudal society.
The source of the official grades of later dynasties came from here.
It was just that it was used incorrectly during the Jin and Jin Dynasties, and it became a situation where "there are no poor families in the upper class, and no noble families in the lower class", and it became a tool to maintain and consolidate the rule of the clans.
The rise of the clan has been unstoppable since then.
Therefore, Chen Qun's reputation in later generations is not very good, but he is indeed very talented and has good personal ethics.
Liu Xiang really wanted to talk to him.
Xun Yu said with a smile: "Chen Changwen is in Chang'an Prison at the moment. Does the Lord want to see him?"
His goal was achieved by arousing his lord's interest, because he knew very well how much his lord cherished talents.
"Ha, Xun Wenruo, Xun Wenruo, you are waiting for me here!"
