Chapter 142: On the Bureaucratic System
The thirty-fifth year of the reign of Emperor Qin, or the tenth year of the reign of Emperor Qin. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test The history of the Qin Dynasty, including the Qin Dynasty, is very vague, perhaps it was the fire of Xiang Yu Afang Palace that turned these histories into ashes. In the eyes of the old Qin people, the era name of Great Qin was calculated from the time when the First Emperor ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, and among the people of the original Six Kingdoms, the era name of Great Qin was calculated from the time when the First Emperor unified the Six Kingdoms.
Now that it has reached the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Emperor Qin, if the wheel of history is still moving according to the trajectory of the previous life. Then there are still two years, and in two years, the wheel of history will be swept over Li Chen's face,
The first emperor will be smashed into the Great Qin.
Xianyang City, Afang Palace
"Your Majesty, Prince Fusu has been kneeling outside the palace for three days."
"Did he admit his mistake?"
"No, the hundred officials have come to intercede for Fusu Gongzi."
This is a bitter ploy, director Li Chen, the male No. 1 First Emperor, the male No. 2 Fusu, and a friendly cameo appearance as a civil and military official.
This matter began three days ago.
"Daqin is like a huge life, Your Majesty is the brain, then these officials are the internal organs, and the people are flesh and blood. All of these things go hand in hand, and without that the life will die. ”
"Like General Wang, like Li Si and Li Xiang, the older generation is gradually getting old, but the younger generation can't carry the beam. In the past, organs were gradually failing. Now what Daqin continues to do is a new heart, a new organ. But in this process, the old organs naturally do not want to be replaced, they will become the biggest resistance. ”
"Your Majesty, the next reform may touch the interests of civil and military officials, if they go on strike and don't do anything, what will you do if they collectively resign?" Li Chen asked.
"They don't dare." The First Emperor said confidently.
"I didn't dare before, because it didn't touch their interests. Even if they don't dare to come openly, if they secretly disobey the yang and the yin, what should Your Majesty do? Li Chen continued to ask.
"Aiqing direction, whoever messes with me will kill him. Death now and death in the future, presumably they can weigh it clearly. The First Emperor said domineeringly.
What is most needed for reform is the emperor's support and determination, and the first emperor of Yu can always make Li Chen feel at ease.
In Li Chen's plan, the first thing to change was Daqin's official position. If the military attachés of the Qin Dynasty are okay, it can be said that each of the military attaches who were promoted according to the Qin Dynasty's 20-level military merit system does have their own true skills.
But the promotion of civil officials in Daqin is not systematic. In other words, since the Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, including the unified Qin, the promotion of civil officials has been unsystematic.
Let's take Daqin, the civil and military officials of the court, for example, some of these people are hereditary ancestors, some are guest ministers when the first emperor was young, some are promoted by officials, and some are from the lowest officials step by step.
These promotion methods, speaking of which, are the most systematic and reliable to be promoted step by step from officials. But the officials are the lowest, and they are not even officials. is like a temporary worker in a public institution in his previous life, doing the hardest and most tiring work, and he came out to take the blame when the computer was turned off. Being promoted from an official to an official is comparable to a carp jumping over the dragon gate.
The Three Princes and Nine Secretaries system of Great Qin is more like a draft of an official system formed by the transformation from a feudal vassal state to a unified county system. The Three Princes and Nine Emperors system is more like the trunk of a big tree, lacking delicate branches.
The system of three princes and nine secretaries is appointed by the emperor, and if there are no new appointments, then this official system will be hereditary. The system of three public and nine secretaries is a comprehensive central administrative system, and administrative, military, and supervisory powers are integrated. Imperial politics and national politics are mixed up. The power of the system of three public and nine secretaries is basically concentrated in the hands of the chief official, and a small number of ministers hold the power of eight or nine out of ten. The concentration of power makes lower-level officials have no right to speak.
The concentration of power will make the entire court a hall of words, and the ideas of one or two people will override the will of the majority, which is extremely dangerous.
Compared with the official system of Great Qin, Li Chen preferred the cabinet of the later Ming Dynasty and the six-ministry system. It's just that if the cabinet system in the Ming Dynasty is implemented, the first person who needs to be removed is the prime minister left and right, and Li Si and Feng Quji must be a big trouble.
The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty and the six-ministry system are definitely the most brilliant official system in the 5,000-year history of China. You don't see, those emperors of the Ming Dynasty, except for Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, there is no reliable one.
Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen is quite an innocent and pitiful boy, his father died early, he didn't want to be the emperor, and his grandfather had to let him go. As a result, before the dragon chair was hot, he let his uncle take it down.
Emperor Hongxi Zhu Gaochi, I don't know if the emperor likes it or not, but he likes to eat it anyway. When he was the prince, because of the delicious food, he made his father Zhu Dixun. I guess when the emperor is just to eat, no one dares to discipline him. Later, without accident, he died. It is said that when he died, he weighed about 200 pounds, and not a single coffin was fit. You were embarrassed when you died, but you really enjoyed it when you ate. Zhu Gaochi, come on.
Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji, I don't know how the emperor should be, anyway, fighting crickets and thieves and cattle criticism, people give the nickname Cricket Emperor.
Emperor Zhu Zaikun of Longqing has struggled for women all his life. There is a pool party all day long, and as for multi-person sports, there is no record of multi-person sports. Anyway, the dark circles under the eyes are quite heavy, and it is said that they stay up late.
Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun is even more absurd. After killing the most capable Lao Zhang, I originally thought that I would be angry. Who knows that people don't go to court for 30 years in order to let themselves go. Feelings, this is what I can't do, and you can't either.
Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse This is a carpenter who was delayed by the emperor's throne, if this emperor travels to the 21st century, he will definitely not starve to death, and he can go to the construction site to do a carpenter. After all, there are now 300 large workers and 18 small workers.
Not to mention these unreliable emperors, the Ming Dynasty was still being destroyed by scholars and eunuchs, just like that, in the hands of these things, the Ming Dynasty actually lasted for two hundred and seventy years. This made the first emperor, who reviewed several truckloads of documents every day, cry angrily. Lao Tzu was so tired all day long, and the second died. You have endured this for more than 200 years. It can be seen from this how strong the Ming system is.
This is also the separation of Daming, if you try it in Daqin. If you play like this in Daqin, let alone two hundred years, it can be considered capable to last for two months. These remnants of the Six Kingdoms are afraid that they will not be able to turn the sky upside down.
What Daqin needs to reform most now is the system, the emperor is too tired, and the officials at the bottom are too idle. Power was concentrated in the hands of the emperor and a very small number of officials, and the officials at the bottom or even in the middle were more like a tool man who carried out orders.
And these people who make policies and hold decision-making power are too high to reach the people at the bottom. Then, the policies formulated by such people will inevitably not be guaranteed to meet the interests of the people.
In the long run, Great Qin will inevitably become more and more decaying until it collapses.
