When Zhao Yu heard that the three concubines were pregnant, he didn't feel any surprise, but more fright. Think about the fact that I am only sixteen years old this year, I was only a junior high school student in my previous life, and I married a group of cardamom girls, and after a while, I was followed by a group of squeaky 'little radish heads', how should I live this life?

"Official, what's wrong with you? It's a happy event to add ding to the family! Su Lan looked at the little emperor's black line and wanted to cry without tears, which was completely different from the happy appearance of others when they learned about it, and poured him a glass of water.

"Sister Su, I have never been a father, and I don't know how to be a father!" Zhao Yu said with a sad face. He was a bachelor all his life in his previous life, and he only had the experience of being a son, and he saw that others were fathers, but today it was suddenly his turn to be a father-to-be, so he was not prepared at all.

"Official, this ...... Having a child will naturally be! Su Lan also had no way to answer this question, but she felt that His Majesty's question was funny, and said with a smile.

"Alas, it's three at once, it's really sad!" Zhao Yu drank the water in the cup again.

"The official family, this is a happy event, the palace has added Ding, the royal family has spread its branches, the queen mother is so happy that she can't close her mouth when she hears it, and she must be reprimanded when she sees the official family like this." Su Lan poured the waterway for the emperor again.

"The Queen Mother is also eccentric, I went to ask for peace today, the Queen Mother only left them for breakfast, but sent me back, is the son important, or the grandson is important?" Zhao Yu drank the water again and said angrily.

"The official family must have misunderstood, the queen mother left the queen mother to talk, it must be for the draft, not intentionally not to leave the official family for dinner." Su Lan saw that the little emperor drank water as if it were wine, so this time he only poured half a glass for him.

"Draft?!" Zhao Yu heard this, but jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and said loudly.

"What's wrong with the official? According to the usual practice, some show girls will be selected in the palace every year, and some people will be released. Su Lan explained with a smile.

"Six concubines are enough, and there is no need to work hard and hurt money and disturb the people." Zhao Yu waved his hand and said.

"The queen also made clear to the queen mother about the meaning of the official family, but was refuted by the queen mother." Su Lan spoke for the queen.

"Oh, but she's sensible this time." Zhao Hao smiled. He understands that the queen, as the master of the harem, is the most taboo is 'jealousy', and she can't spoil the major event of royal reproduction because of her selfish thoughts, so even if she is extremely reluctant in her heart, she must enrich the harem for the emperor's husband Zhang Luo's draft, otherwise she will not fulfill her duties.

"The official family is really interesting, even if the harem of the emperors of all dynasties is not three thousand beauties, it is also seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, but the official family says that six people are enough!" Su Lan chuckled when she heard this, but when she looked up, she found that His Majesty was staring at her intently, touching her face and saying in surprise, "Why do the officials look at the slaves and maids like this?" ”

"I wonder why it wasn't my sister who conceived?" Zhao Yu tilted his head, his eyes still not leaving Su Lan's face and asked.

"Naturally, the slave is not blessed...... Su Lan lowered her head when she heard this, and said softly with shame and loss, the handkerchief in her hand had been twisted.

"I will make my sister a concubine, and the queen mother of the province will have to worry about it!" Zhao Hao said with a grin. She was the first woman she was pampered with, and if she was pregnant, she only needed to add a title. But it backfired, and several others were pregnant, but there was an empty gun here, so he had to push the boat with the water.

"Official...... Don't talk nonsense! Su Lan blushed and whispered, "The slave maid also heard that the queen mother intends to transfer a few people from the palace people who were selected last year, but the slave maid has passed away, and there is no such blessing." ”

"Is the Queen Mother still thinking about carrying the daughter of the Cheng family?" When Zhao Yu heard this, he immediately became alert, and asked with a frown.

"Miss Cheng is both good in terms of family background and color art, why do the officials have a grudge against her?" Su Lan asked rhetorically.

"The nature of the country is easy to change, its growth is good, and it is quite talented, but there is a loss of virtue, staying in the palace will inevitably cause trouble to the palace, and it will be released from the palace this year." Zhao Hao didn't want to play any palace tricks, especially this lord was competitive, but he was narrow-minded and couldn't tolerate her. Even if he does not transfer, his personality may threaten the life of his unborn child, and the only way to remove the hidden danger once and for all can only expel him from the palace as soon as possible.

"Official, if Miss Cheng is released from the palace, I am afraid that she will also be rejected by the world, and she will be lonely for a lifetime." Su Lan relented, and couldn't bear to say it.

"That's no way to do it, it's much better than killing your family in the palace in the future, at least you can save your own life." Zhao Hao said without pity. However, he also knew that with the birth of the little beings, the harmonious situation in the palace might be broken, and the tragedy of the brothers and sisters would be staged. It's so upsetting to think about......

Although he was unprepared for the joy falling from the sky, Zhao Yu quickly accepted it. Recently, he summoned the officials of the military department one after another, inquired in detail about the preparation of grain, grass, equipment, clothing, military salaries, and the morale of the soldiers, and summoned Jiang Cheng from the western part of the Yangtze River to enter Beijing, listen to his opinions, and work out a battle plan with the Privy Council.

Of course, all this was done in secret, and the situation was only known to the chief and vice-ministers, the officials of the province and the Privy Council, and the officials of the relevant functions, but in the court meeting held today on the western expedition, he had a disagreement with the ministers. According to his meaning, the chief general of this expedition to the west is also in charge of military and political affairs, so even if the unified command is strengthened, it is also convenient to dispatch materials in the jurisdiction. However, his opinion was opposed by most people, even Chen Renweng and Jiang Xuan were no exception, thinking that the imperial court should send a senior official to command and coordinate the overall situation.

This matter made Zhao Hao very troubled, his opinion was out of combat needs, but the starting point of the ministers was the state system. In fact, the starting point of both sides is the same, both are in order to successfully recover Xichuan, but there are differences in operation, but Zhao Yu is difficult to convince the other party. And when the war was about to begin, the upper echelons could not form a unity, which made him anxious and helpless.

"Under the Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister; The doctors are uneven, and I am engaged in the sole merit. It was Confucius who deleted the "Book of Songs" and retained a folk song "Beishan" of the pre-Qin Dynasty, which is not only well-known to later generations, but also a tradition that scholars use to support China's political "family world". However, what later generations did not know was that there was another interpretation in the Song Dynasty, which also became the theoretical basis for the Great Song Dynasty scholars and kings to rule the world together.

In the opinion of the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, the misreading of this sentence is due to the fact that the book does not seek to understand it. In fact, the ballad "Beishan" expresses that it has nothing to do with "family and world" and "property rights", but the subjects are complaining about the unfairness of the king's distribution of conscription: it's all the king's business, why am I the only one working so hard? Even if we take out the sentence "under the whole world, it is not the king's land", it describes the state of "ownership" of land under the well field system, not that the land in the world belongs to the king.

And since the fall of the Warring States period and the disintegration of the feudal system, except for the short era of strict implementation of the uniform land system, China's land system has always been private ownership. In other words, "the whole world is not the king's land" is not a description of the ownership of property rights in the legal sense, but only a declaration of sovereignty in the political sense.

In this way, the saying that "under the whole world, it is not the king's land" does have the flavor of "the family of the world", but the scholars of the Song Dynasty have an explanation, and its meaning has been reversed: "The king has no outside, takes the world as his home, the land is not his field, a people is not his son, and the property is in the sea, such as in the palace, and the tribute is in, how can he be my cloud?" According to the biography of the calendar, since "Yu Gong", I have not heard that the Son of Heaven has private wealth. ”

According to their interpretation, "under the whole world, it is not the king's land" does not mean that the people have no selfish property, on the contrary, "under the whole world, it is not the king's land", which means that the son of heaven has no selfish wealth and takes the world as his home. Further deduce: since the Son of Heaven is rich from all over the world and takes the world as his home, then he must not collect money privately, let alone spend extravagantly. The monarch's daily expenses are not a private matter, but a public matter, so they need to be regulated by the government.

In addition, after Taizu established the country, he established a political system with checks and balances on the separation of powers. In order to prevent the dominance of power and the threat to the monarchy, the Song Dynasty took three measures. First of all, the highest administrative body was divided into the Zhongshu Gate and the Privy Council, and the part of the military power that originally belonged to the Prime Minister was assigned to the Privy Council. Second, the governor was added as a deputy minister to prevent the prime minister from being specialized. In addition, the Prime Minister's National Treasury was set up in three divisions, and the financial power was also separated from the Prime Minister.

In terms of local power, civilian officials were dispatched to preside over prefectures and counties, directly responsible to the emperor, and a general judgment was set up to restrain the governor of the prefecture. Above the state capital, the road-level institutions representing the central government are mainly Caosi, Xiansi, Cangsi and Shuaisi. The first three are in charge of the finances, justice, and relief of the first road, and are also responsible for supervising the state and county officials of the first road. Shuai Si is in charge of military and public security along the way. As a road-level organization, the four divisions not only have their own duties, but also supervise each other, and this kind of mutually restrained power structure seems to be a stacked bed, but it makes it impossible for any local officials to dictate and dictate, and it is unlikely that there will be a disaster like the division of feudal towns.

Under this political system, a unique supervision mechanism was formed in the Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the military generals in the military power from abusing their powers, or even separating one side, in addition to adopting the military system of 'soldiers do not know the generals and do not know the soldiers', they often sent large officers or emperors and eunuchs to supervise the army when sending troops. Under this system, the generals who lead the troops often have to look at the face of the supervising army, and they are not only tied to their hands and feet, but also delay the fighters, and even affect the trend of the entire war. This kind of bloody lesson was not uncommon in the Song Dynasty, so that there was a strange incident of Tong Guan, a eunuch leading the troops to fight, and the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was not unrelated to this system.

However, Zhao Yu could not refute the ministers, and it was precisely because of the betrayal of the Lu brothers in the Battle of Xiangfan at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty that the two Huai were lost, and finally led to the destruction of the country. In their opinion, the fundamental reason is that the imperial court trusts Lu Wende, and does not send important ministers to sit in Lianghuai according to the ancestral system, which leads to his loss of supervision, deceiving his superiors and subordinates, and constantly growing, so that the imperial court loses control over him, which leads to the defeat of the entire war of resistance against Mongolia.

The geographical location of Xichuan is equally important, while Chongqing chokes the waterway of the Yangtze River to the middle and lower reaches, and to the west can take Sichuan and Shu. The ministers thought that after the capture of Chongqing, once the generals who led the troops had a rebellious heart, as long as they controlled the waterway of the Yangtze River, they could block the counterinsurgency army, and to the west, they could occupy Sichuan, so as to break away from the imperial court and call the king of Sichuan and Shu.

At present, the two sides with different opinions are at a stalemate, but the clarion call for war has been sounded, and tens of thousands of soldiers are ready to go. Zhao Yu is unwilling to give up this opportunity no matter what, but if the stalemate continues, he will miss the fighter, and it is difficult for him to accept the compromise. While he was pondering, Wang De came in and said that he had been invited to meet by the two governors, Jieyan and Liu Huang, saying that the first draft of the compilation had been completed, and that His Majesty had asked him to review it.

Zhao Yu smiled when he heard this, he knew that the two old men must have come for this matter, after all, the stalemate would lead to the intensification of the contradiction, which was also something that everyone did not want to see. That's why he came to discuss and seek a solution in the name of Fengshu, and of course he was invited. But what he didn't expect was that the two old men really brought a stack of manuscripts, and where he had the heart to read them carefully at the moment, he casually asked them to explain the narrative.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they did not use this as a pestle, Liu Huang explained first, and Zhao Hao could only sit down and listen to the lecture as before. It begins with the strict political system of China's past dynasties, which is equivalent to the preface to this book. In essence, the administrative system in ancient China was a centralized bureaucratic political system, the administrative organs of the state were pyramidal hierarchical structures, and the local administrative organs at the county and county levels were all dispatched organs of the central government in the local area, not autonomous institutions generated by the local governments themselves.

Under the imperial system, how to make such a huge bureaucratic machine run effectively has become a problem that Chinese thinkers must face since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Therefore, the background and origin of China's supervision system is the question of how to regulate this huge bureaucratic machine after the centralized bureaucracy was formed during the Warring States Period. In traditional Chinese culture, Confucianism focuses on ethical concepts, emphasizing the rule of etiquette, and determining the hierarchical order between people from the family to the country and the whole society through the etiquette system.

However, how to operate from top to bottom of this huge bureaucratic apparatus is not enough to rely solely on the etiquette system, which needs laws and regulations to unify the bureaucracy at all levels of the state to implement the corresponding policies, and how to ensure that the officials of the organs at all levels truly implement the policies and laws prescribed by the central government, then put supervision on the agenda.

The traditional Chinese political structure is three levels: the monarch, the subjects, and the people. Among them, Jun represents the decision-making system. The minister, as the operator of the bureaucracy, represents the administrative system. The people represent the vast number of people who are governed and managed. The relationship between these three is that the king manages the people through the officials, so that the whole social life can be effectively operated, so its administrative structure is that the king governs the ministers, and the subjects govern the people......
