Chapter 303: Revoke the Shang Book Order!

(One more!) Thank you for your support! )

On this day, Shen Du came to the Zichen Hall and presented a note to Emperor Chongde. This recital is invited, and it is the order to withdraw the book!

Emperor Chongde opened the song and looked at it, his eyes shrank, and then he closed it calmly. Withdraw the Shang Shu Order! Shen Du dared to play such a sparse performance, why is this?!

Hearing Emperor Chongde's inquiry, Shen Du calmly spoke: "Shang Shuling has a noble status, is in charge of the world's outline, and is in charge of hundreds of officials in the imperial court. The minister can't serve one person in the world, how can the court be tied to the position of Shang Shuling? Shangshu Ling is a very popular minister, if the power of Shangshu Province is concentrated in the hands of Shangshu Ling, and no hundred officials dare to disobey, then the power and the only minister will definitely appear! The imperial court is bound to be chaotic, and there is fear of turmoil. ”

Shen Du's tone was flat, and he said two words that made Emperor Chongde frightened: Minister of Power! Solitude!

According to the official system, the Zhongshu Order, the Subordinate Servants, and the Shangshu Order are all prime ministers. The so-called "power minister" and "sole minister", to put it bluntly, mean that the power of the prime minister of the imperial court is beyond any prime minister under the central bureaucracy and above all officials.

Emperor Chongde was no stranger to words such as "power phase" and "solitary phase", when he was young, the master in the palace said such words many times; Later, when Shen Su was his teacher, Shen Su would also take out these words from time to time.

All because of the overthrow of the previous dynasty, there will be the disaster of "power minister" and "independent phase"!

Historians have an unusually detailed description of this point: "For a long time, the world is authoritative, and it belongs to oneself." But the officials are only promised...... Therefore, Bingjun has been in charge for 20 years, and the government and the opposition have looked sideways and feared their authority. ”①

The previous dynasty had the disaster of power, and then there was a dispute between friends, how could it not be destroyed?

When Taizu founded the country, he rebuilt the three provinces of Zhongshu, which were almost abandoned in the previous dynasty, and made the three provinces pay equal attention to the three provinces, and divided the power of the three provinces equally, just to prevent the emergence of "power minister" and "independent phase"!

These are the merits of Dading Taizu. It is also a lesson from the destruction of the country in the previous dynasty. Emperor Chongde heard a lot. But he grew up in the years of Chengping, and he always felt that these words would only appear in the pile of old papers, and had nothing to do with the current program.

Now, I listened to Shen Du's words. Look at the excessive power of Shangshu Province in recent years. Emperor Chongde knew that these words were not far from him. Even a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Since the "minister of power" and "the minister of independence" are in danger of destroying the country, he will never let such an official appear!

Seeing his expression shaken, Shen Du knew that his words were in his heart. It's about destroying the country. How could the emperor not be shaken?

And these words are not alarmist, as long as Shangshu Province continues to be weighted, as long as Shangshu orders a person who worships power, the appearance of "power minister" and "independent phase" will be too normal.

For a long time, Shen Du and Shen Su had been thinking about how to limit the power of Shangshu Province and Shangshu Ling, and the relocation of the official government was one of the measures. But their thinking is not broad enough, and they are not as Fu Tong thought: withdraw the Shang Shu Order!

Shang Shuling is in the second grade, Dading is just such a person, this person, there really can't be any more! If Shang Shuling who took over was a person with a bad heart like Fang Jixin, then it would inevitably make more officials skewed, and the miasma of the imperial court would be even worse.

Taking a step back, even if the person who took over Shang Shuling is very upright, but can he be mediocre? Such a person is extremely human, and there will also be all kinds of problems.

Since this is the case, then this Shangshu order is not needed!

Shen Du continued to speak: "Shangshu Ling Fang has had an accident for several months, and he has never paid attention to the affairs of the court, but Shangshu Province is operating normally. Therefore, the minister thought that Shangshu Province would not delay the government without the Shangshu Order. His words have been proven by the reality of the past few months.

Since Shangshu Province has lost Shangshu Order, it does not have much impact; And if there is a Shang Shu order, there may be a disaster of "power minister" and "sole minister". In such a situation, everyone knows how to choose.

Emperor Chongde, as the Emperor of Dading, how could he not understand? But he didn't speak immediately because he thought of another word: one or the other.

Dading has three central provinces, if the Shangshu order is revoked, then the three prime ministers will only be left with the Zhongshu order and the subordinate servants. Since Shang Shuling has the possibility of becoming a "power minister" and "sole minister", then there is also such a possibility in Zhongshu Ling and his subordinates.

If the Shangshu Order is revoked, how can the power of the Zhongshu Order and the subordinate servants be restricted? How can you guarantee that the Zhongshu Order and the subordinate servants will not become "ministers of power" and "only ministers"?

He was silent, waiting for Shen Du's answer. Since Shen Du asked for the revocation of the Shang Shu Order, then he would think of various possible situations, so how to solve this problem?

Emperor Chongde was not wrong, of course he thought of this hidden worry, and he also had a way to deal with it. In Shen Du's view, the revocation of the Shangshu order must be more beneficial than disadvantageous, if the withdrawal is not beneficial to the Dading government, then what else to withdraw?

Therefore, he raised his voice and said loudly: "The minister implores the emperor to withdraw the Shangshu Order, and to add left and right servants in Shangshu Province, all of whom are from the second rank, and the same rank as the Zhongshu Order and the subordinate servants, and enter the political affairs hall; At the same time, raise the official rank of the Imperial Doctor and add him to the political hall! In this way, if the three provinces and one province contain each other, the government can be ruled for a long time. ”

Shen Du's eyes have never been so bright, and the whole person seems to shine. Here in Zichen Palace, he finally said the idea in his heart, about the idea of the official system of Dading, this is the official system of three provinces and one official!

He was able to come up with this official system because he was inspired by Fu Tong. Taking walking as a metaphor, Fu Tong took the first step, but Shen Du followed this first step and walked to the end.

Fu Tong's revocation of the Shangshu Order is a very critical part, but what is more critical is what to do after the revocation of the Shangshu Order, how to ensure that the government will be better than when there is a Shangshu Order, this is what Shen Du thought.

After leaving Jialiyuan, he has been thinking: What about the government after the removal of the Shangshu Order?

He thought hard for a long time in the South Garden, and finally came up with a solution, that is, to add left and right servant shots and reuse the political affairs hall!

The imperial court originally had a political affairs hall, but only the Zhongshu Order, the Subordinate Servants, and the Shangshu Order could be included in it, and their role was not obvious in the past. But now, the political hall that Shen Du wants to reuse is not just the chief officials of the three central provinces.

He wants to add people to the political hall, and in addition to the officials of the three provinces, he also has to join the imperial historian. He wants to improve the status of the Yushitai and the status of the Dading Supervision Force!

(Extra: One Update!) Note (1): The words of Li Linfu are used to describe Li Linfu in the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, and they are exempt from responsibility. The political hall system has its own history, but it seems that there are only three provinces, and I think it will be more meaningful to add one, roar. (To be continued......)
