In fact, since the establishment of the dynasty, power has been operating through layers of agents. The emperor cannot directly control what the people do. He can only control ministers and generals. The ministers control local officials, and the generals control middle and lower-level generals.
, then the local officials take charge of the noble families of the gentry, and the generals and subordinates take charge of the leaders and corps commanders, and then directly implement the people and affairs through them.
The reason why this system works is that the emperor is the symbol of political power. In a sense, he has the divine power of kings. He enjoys the right to distribute benefits and all interpretation rights. He transfers power and benefits in exchange for the allegiance of ministers. Here is the emperor
This is true for all layers of bureaucracy, and it is the same for generations of dynasties. No wonder some people say that China came from the Yanhuang Dynasty. Except for later generations, no royal power of any dynasty can reach the county, and the administrative end cannot touch the county.
specific matters.
Just like Lu Guang, he is of course the supreme commander of the 100,000-strong army, but it seems difficult for him to take care of the affairs of a specific soldier. Although he can decide life and death with one word, many matters still have to go through the deputy generals and generals.
, a long history, joined the army to implement it down the court. And these people relied on Lu Guang's authorization to command the office, generals and lower-level people to finally complete the affairs.
Duan Ye does not lack brains and wisdom, and he has an understanding of the future trend of things. However, he has never been an official, and he does not know how things are done. Now he has a God-given opportunity.
Nowadays, Duan Ye is struggling with the mountains of materials in front of the copywriting. These silk scrolls, bamboo slips and small pages of paper record in detail the origins, family backgrounds, hobbies and political attitudes of the relatively influential people in Kucha City. The degree of completeness is
, the wealth of materials really made Duan Ye speechless. He didn't expect Qin's intelligence agency to be so developed.
Next, it is natural to determine countermeasures based on these materials. In fact, the principle is very simple. Pull those who are close to Qin, pull and suppress those who are ambiguous, threaten those who are resistant, and send people to arrest those who are not able to do so.
It sounds like this, but there is a pile of documents waiting. Duan Ye had to quickly read the materials, then give clear opinions and determine the tone, so the clerk quickly started drafting, and Duan Ye had to go to work on the next task.
, and often when I get a headache from reading the materials, the previous one has been written, and Duan Ye has to put forward his opinions again, and the cycle repeats.
More importantly, Duan Ye had to complete so many things before the dinner started, register them accurately, and deliver them!
Although Jiexia issued an order and these office clerks basically cooperated, Duan Ye knew very well that if he did not perform well, he would definitely suffer. These people would not dare to disobey orders, but soft-topped grinding is a solution.
Yes, when things go wrong, you will naturally suffer the consequences. These scholars have many ways to clean themselves up.
Therefore, Duan Ye worked hard, and of course he was very polite to them. He managed to finish the work before the deadline.
Duan Ye took a long breath, stretched out, and finally realized the pain of those emperors who later grabbed great power, such as Zhu Baba and his like. He was just too busy with such a trivial matter. They were so busy.
The extent of this can be imagined. It is no wonder that except for the Ming and Qing Dynasties, all dynasties have always had a prime minister.
But the matter was not over yet. Duan Ye could not make the final decision on these matters and had to be approved by Lu Guang. So Duan Ye ordered them to copy out the official version as quickly as possible and then went to the front hall to find Lu Guang.
At this time, the front hall was Lu Guang's temporary office. After the announcement, Duan Ye was about to salute, but Lu Guang waved his hand with a smile and said: "Okay, no need to be polite, is Duan Canjun here?"
"Excuse me, Duan Ye has compiled the invitations for tonight's banquet and who needs to deal with them, based on the materials provided by the department. Please take a look at them."
Lu Guang's fingers gently clasped the yellow pear wood table and said slowly: "Have you finished processing it?"
"Back to the festival, that's right." Duan Ye was a little unsure of Lu Guang's meaning.
"Then...that's it, you go and send the matter and do it according to your opinion." Lu Guang said without thinking.
"But Jie Xia, this is a big deal, you better take a look at it." Duan Ye said hurriedly.
"Hehehehe, don't be suspicious of people, don't be suspicious of employees, Duan Ye, I can trust you." Lu Guang said with a smile, "Besides, if I have to do all these small things, then why should I set up so many official offices?
?Okay, let’s leave these things to Zuo Sima Lu Zuan.”
Duan Ye couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart. It turned out that Lu Guang had appointed his favorite son, Lu Zuan, who was once a lackey and could not survive in the Imperial Academy, but was actually a talented person, as his main assistant!
Lu Zuan was Lu Guang's eldest son, but he was born a concubine, so he probably could not ascend the throne. But because of this, Lu Zuan was a humble and low-key man. After his youthful absurdity, he studied and practiced martial arts and worked very hard. He was the most diligent among Lu Guang's disciples.
Talented people.
Historically, Lu Zuan escaped from Chang'an after the Feishui War, but now he is already in the army. It seems that Lu Guang heard his words and sent someone to summon him at Xingye. It seems that Lu Guang's mind has been made up.
Duan Ye couldn't help but glance at Lu Guang secretly. When Lu Guang said this, his expression was peaceful and his eyes were full of love. It was obvious that he liked Lu Zuan very much.
The young man who came in was a few years older than Duan Ye. He looked polite, handsome and elegant, but his sharp eyebrows looked very powerful and his eyes were bright. After he saluted, he was friendly and humble to Duan Ye and spoke.
Come to make people feel like a spring breeze. Although they are talking about business matters, Duan Ye suddenly feels like a spring breeze.
The true master! Duan Ye sighed in his heart. Unfortunately, this person is, to some extent, one of his biggest enemies.
After the handover was completed, Lu Zuan went to handle it, but Lu Guang asked Duan Ye to stay. He first praised him and then asked: "What do you think of this person, Silk Zhen?"
Duan Ye was shocked. It seemed that the historical context had not changed. Lu Guang still thought of him after all! Yin said: "Under the festival, this man has lived in seclusion under the name of Bo Chunwei for more than ten years. In the end, he suddenly revolted, but was killed by Bo.
If Mengbai's chess had not been superior and the forces left behind by the late King of Kucha had not been able to defeat him, he would have been defeated by Bo Chun. All in all, Duan Ye thought that this person was very happy with his achievements. On the surface, the city was quite deep, but in fact
My thoughts are still not delicate enough.”
"That's right." Lu Guang nodded, "This person is self-righteous. He doesn't have enough wisdom to engage in conspiracy, and he doesn't have enough strength to engage in conspiracy. It's nothing. However, he has made a mark in this section. Guess what, he
What did you say?"
"Presumably...he asked to be Jie Xia's puppet," Duan Ye thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, it's a puppet!" Lu Guang smiled, "He is really awesome. He actually directly said that he is willing to be a vicious dog of this section, to watch over Qiuci, to appease Qiuci on behalf of this section, and to suppress Buchen, haha
Haha, tell me, should I agree to this section?"
"You should agree." Duan Ye said quickly.
"Huh?" Lu Guang was a little surprised, because what he meant was actually non-committal. He didn't expect that this person who had always been very good at figuring out his boss's intentions would put forward his opinion so simply!
Lu Guang put away his smile. Seeing that Duan Ye was not joking, he couldn't help asking seriously: "Tell me, why?"
