Chapter 732: Four Themes
Ladies and gentlemen, today's court meeting is the first court meeting after moving the capital to Youzhou. The reform of the law implemented by the Youzhou Pastor is extremely novel, but it does not affect the enthusiasm of me and all Aiqing for the revival of the Han Dynasty. I believe that with the efforts of all Aiqing, my country will definitely be able to surpass the ancestors, and all Aiqing will be able to enjoy the glory of the Taimiao Temple and be respected by all eternity!"
"The ministers will definitely not live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
Perhaps it was the first time to experience such a meeting, Liu Xie's speech seemed very brief, and it ended in a few words, and his words were also very empty and had no actual content.
However, after all, it is the first time, so naturally don't be too particular.
"Your Majesty, the next step is for the minister to preside over today's meeting. ”
Xu Shu gestured to Liu Xie, then straightened his sleeves, stood up, held a book of silk paper in his hand, and said in a clear voice: "Today's meeting has four main themes: first, the change of the national name, second, the reform of official positions, third, the reform of the military system, and fourth, the change of the region. ”
Xu Shu's voice fell, the audience was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.
Of course, it's not because what Xu Shu said is too profound, and everyone can't understand it. On the contrary, it was precisely because what Xu Shu said was too simple, clear, and clear that everyone was shocked by what Xu Shu said. It can be said that Xu Shu's words will cause such a violent landslide and tsunami.
It's just that compared to the shock of the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials, the people on the Youzhou side don't have many expressions.
"Dare to ask Youzhou Mu, what does the change of country name mean?"
Yang Biao didn't need to look at Liu Xie's expression to guess what Liu Xie's face was. The change of the country name can be described as an earth-shaking event, and the top and bottom of Youzhou are like child's play, and it seems to be just a trivial matter to put forward it so blandly. Changing the name of the country is basically equivalent to changing the dynasty, is Yuan Chang planning to put the usurpation of the dynasty on the surface, and he doesn't plan to cover it up at all?
"As the literal meaning is, there will be Xu Cheng to explain to you next, and Mrs. Yang will listen quietly, no need to worry. ”
Yuan Chang's bland words almost didn't make Yang Biao spurt out a mouthful of old blood.
Yang Biao really couldn't understand why they didn't have the slightest ripple, didn't they know what a big deal this was? However, since Yuan Chang said that Xu Shu would explain, he thought he had his reasons. Now the court is weak and has no right to speak at all. If the imperial court is strong, who dares to say such things in front of the emperor, I am afraid that they will be dragged out of the vegetable market and beheaded on the spot.
"Because Gaozu was the king of Han before the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the country was called Han after the establishment of the dynasty. However, the name of the Han Kingdom was too narrow to be recognized by foreign subjects outside the Central Plains. Therefore, after submitting to the Central Plains, it will not take long for the aliens to rebel and break away from the Central Plains again, because they cannot get a sense of belonging from the Han court. Now, the Western Regions Protectorate, Nanyue, Jiaozhou and other places that the predecessors have paid countless lives to conquer have basically separated from the Central Plains and become a country of their own, and the root cause is that the name of the Han Dynasty cannot be loyally supported by them. Therefore, after the painstaking thinking of Youzhou Mu, he decided to change the name of the country to Hua, Huaguo. What is China? It is the land of China, but all the people under the land of China are the people of China. Once the subjects of a foreign race have recognized the identity of the people of China and have a sense of belonging, how can they rebel again? At that time, everyone will be proud of the land of China and the land of China, which shows the importance of the name of the country to the people. ”
Xu Shu's words were impassioned and righteous, so that people had no room for refutation. Of course, the main reason why it can't be refuted is because of the strength, if it weren't for Youzhou's strength here, who would listen to Xu Shu's words, and a bunch of guards would rush up and drag him down and chop him down every minute.
"This..."
Yang Biao couldn't refute it, of course, Yang Biao was not afraid of the 'evil forces', but because what Xu Shu said was true.
The use of the Han Dynasty's country name is because Liu Bang was the king of Han, and it was originally a humiliating experience for Liu Bang to be the king of Han. However, with the efforts of Liu Bang, this humiliating experience became the foundation of the country, so Liu Bang used the name of Han without saying a word, and it is obviously nothing to say how meaningful this country name is. And changing to the name of Huaguo seems to have a good meaning.
Of course, Yang Biao will not say this.
"Ridiculous!"
Yang Biao's three third-level bosses didn't speak, but Dong Cheng stood up and retorted loudly: "If the country name is changed, this world is still Your Majesty's world?
"Isn't General Wei dissent, how can the world not be His Majesty's if he changes the name of the country? Could it be that General Wei intends to plot to usurp the throne?"
"You..."
Dong Cheng pointed at Yuan Chang, with a look of anger on his face, he didn't expect Yuan Chang to talk nonsense with his eyes open, who was present couldn't see that he was Yuan Chang who had different intentions, he actually had the face to say others, it was really hateful. However, what Yuan Chang said is right, it's just a change of country name, the world is still Liu's world, it seems that there is no difference.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what to think?"
Yuan Chang no longer dealt with Dong Cheng, but looked at Liu Xie. Of course, it doesn't matter whether Liu Xie agrees or not, to put it bluntly, Yuan Chang actually informed Liu Xie, whether he agrees or not, he will still implement this plan in the end. It's just that asking Liu Xie is to give him a little face, at least to make him feel that the change of the country name is with his consent.
Liu Xie didn't agree immediately, but looked at Yang Biao and asked, "I don't know what the three lovers of Taiwei, Situ and Sikong think?"
asked Yang Biao about the opinions of the three people, and it was actually Yang Biao's opinion. Yang Biao can be said to be the only remaining old courtier in the court today, old and respectful, and highly respected. If Yang Biao supports it, Liu Xie will have nothing to oppose; if Yang Biao is against it, with Yang Biao's prestige, I believe that most of the hundred officials present will support Yang Biao's opinion. Moreover, if Yang Biao is opposed, how can he say that he is a respected old-timer, Yuan Chang should not go too far.
It's just that Liu Xie is thinking about it, anyone who blocks the reform of the new law, Yuan Chang will not give face, even if it is Yang Biao.
Liu Xie can't see it, it doesn't mean that Yang Biao can't see it. He has been in officialdom for many years, not to mention how strong his ability is, but his vision is not bad, he has already seen that Yuan Chang's thoughts are extremely firm, and no one can change them. Unless, you have the absolute strength to suppress Yuan Chang, otherwise, you can only accept it. Of course, Yang Biao would not say that he could not change Yuan Chang's mind, and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what Youzhou Mu said is not unreasonable. ”
The first sentence of Yang Biao's mouth made the hearts of Liu Xie, Dong Cheng and several other people who did not want to change the name of the country chill, no matter what they thought, Yang Biao continued: "In the past, Jiaozhou, Nanyue, Qiang, Western Regions and other countries have submitted to our Central Plains many times, and then rebelled again, so capricious, but it has never been resolved. After listening to Youzhou Mu's words today, Lao Chen understood that it was not because they liked to rebel, but because they couldn't get a sense of belonging. Just as the people of the world pay attention to the return of fallen leaves to their roots, how can the Han Dynasty, which has no sustenance, make them submit for a long time? Therefore, the old minister thinks that the change of the country name mentioned by Youzhou Mu is a feasible thing. ”
"Weichen thinks what the captain said is very true!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
Situ Zhao Wen and Sikong Zhang Xi were like echo worms, and Yang Biao's opinion was expressed, and they immediately expressed their attitude. Obviously, the situation in the court is very chaotic and weird now. Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi didn't want to be involved in this whirlpool, so they could only follow Yang Biao's footsteps. The emperor, as the titular boss of the world, has no actual rights, while Yuan Chang, as the pastor of Youzhou, controls the Son of Heaven and the court, but unlike Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and Guo Yan, who completely ignore the existence of the Son of Heaven, and will give a certain amount of respect. Yuan Chang's approach is also obvious, if the Son of Heaven is honest and follows the footsteps of Youzhou Mu, then the Son of Heaven will not be harmed; if the Son of Heaven is not honest, he must be hard with Youzhou Mu, and I believe that Youzhou Mu is not a good person. And the Son of Heaven has a little face, and they, the courtiers, obviously don't have it. If you dare to resist Yuan Chang, I believe that Yuan Chang will not be soft.
Of course, it does not mean that all officials are soft bones, greedy for life and afraid of death. It's about having value and meaning to die too. If Yuan Chang has any disobedience, I believe that many ministers with the determination to die will stand up. However, now Yuan Chang's new law reform is implemented in the name of better for the world, if they jump out to oppose it, the Son of Heaven may be fine, and they will be killed like chickens. Moreover, they may be slandered as thieves and leave a stench for thousands of years, which they absolutely believe that Yuan Chang will be able to do.
Liu Xie took a hard breath and said lightly: "Since Taiwei and the other Aiqing think that Youzhou Mu's proposal is feasible, then follow Youzhou Mu's proposal to implement it." From today onwards, my Han Dynasty will change the name of the country to Huaguo, and immediately draft a decree and proclaim it to the world!"
Liu Xie felt that he was a little sad, the first time he used it after getting the jade seal of the country was because of the reason for changing the country name, if the ancestors and ancestors knew about it, I am afraid that they would not be blind. However, Liu Xie was powerless to resist, and he could only endure it silently, at least to save his life, and he still had a day to put things right. If his life is gone, I am afraid that Yuan Chang will randomly find someone from the clan to sit in this position. Liu Xie at least believed that he had the belief in reviving the Han Dynasty, and he was not sure if he was a different person. Therefore, he can only endure it.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Regardless of whether this decision was made by Liu Xie or not, now, since it has become a fact, the officials naturally have only recognition, and there is no shortage of praise.
The first topic is complete, and then the second topic is next.
Xu Shu stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, the next second topic is about the reform of official positions. Since the establishment of the imperial court by Gaozu, the system of three princes and nine secretaries in the former Qin period has been followed. Compared with the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries system has a clear division of labor and good implementation efficiency. However, the times are changing, and past experience tells us that the current system of three public and nine secretaries is no longer in line with the development of the times, and should be changed. ”
Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, the three dukes still had extremely high rights, but after the Sui and Tang dynasties, the three dukes were basically honors, only titles, but no rights. Since it is to reform the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, the interests of the hundred officials present are undoubtedly touched.
However, although Yang Biao is not a person who is greedy for power, when it comes to his own problems, he still asks: "Xu Zheng, I don't know how to reform the law?"
This issue is not only Yang Biao's concern, but there is probably no one present who does not care.
"Captain, wait a minute!"
Xu Shu appeased, and then ordered the staff in Youzhou to bring a pile of paper silks, one for each official, on which the new official position and basic content were written in detail.
"This..."
Looking at the content on the paper, all the officials looked at each other with stunned expressions. After the reform of official positions, there were more than 100 departments, and they were all names they had never heard of. Of course, after reading the introduction of the new official position, they also have a general idea of what the function is. It's just that whether such a change is too big can be said to be earth-shaking.
In the original imperial court, only the prime minister, Taiwei, Situ, Sikong, plus the general, the hussar general, the chariot general, the general Wei and Jiuqing, these dozen people stood at the pinnacle of power. However, as a result of such reforms, there were more than 100 officials of equal status, regardless of the importance of their positions. Of course, for Sangong and Jiuqing, such a change is naturally not what they want. Originally, their status was the most outstanding, except for a few people who could match them, and the others could only look up. However, after such a reform, their subordinates may have the same status as them, how can they accept such a change?
Yang Biao looked directly at Yuan Chang this time and asked, "Youzhou Mu, will such a huge change in official position be detrimental to the operation of the court?"
"Don't worry, Captain!"
Yuan Chang calmly comforted and said: "The reform of official positions will only make the operation of the court smoother and more effective." The new official positions will be implemented only to individuals, and they will be clear about what they should do, so that the people will not be left unsure of how to do things. Therefore, once there is a mistake, the person in charge can be directly found, and it can be said that the new official position can allow the people to have a better evaluation of the imperial court. The new official position has been tried in Jilin Province, that is, the former Goguryeo land, and has been well received by the people, and Taiwei can rest assured. ”
"Now that Youzhou Mu has tried it, I won't say more!"
Originally, Yang Biao wanted Yuan Chang to plan it slowly and not in a hurry. But he didn't expect that Jilin Province had been used as a test site, so he had nothing to say.
However, this time, Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi did not follow Yang Biao's attitude. ntent
