784 Shangshutai overhauled
What the ministers were looking forward to was the details to be announced in the fifth and sixth edicts.
The fifth edict is very detailed, with a lot of words and a lot of information.
The main thing is to divide the civil officials and ministers.
The main tone of this reward is to introduce the power regulation of the central and local governments of the Wei Empire planned by Guo Peng, as well as the heads of the old or new departments, who are promoted or raised, and those who are neither promoted nor raised, will be given knighthood rewards, anyway, everyone has it.
There is no doubt that Guo Peng continued the basic system under the system of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries in the Central Committee, but although Guo Peng established the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, he more directly made the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries virtual than the Eastern Han Dynasty.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the status quo of the right to return to Shangshutai and the three princes was mostly a political vase, Guo Peng went further.
Among the entire Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, only Situ Cai Yong and Taifu Xian Yuyin are in office, and the remaining ten seats are all vacant.
Except for Xian Yuyin, who got the position of the servant because of the matter of raising horses, there is no one else in Jiuqing, and in terms of the three princes, Situ Cai Yong is obviously a political mascot.
What is certain is that at the level of the central government, Guo Peng completely abandoned the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, and took Shangshutai, Yushitai, and Staff Tai as the main administrative core.
Guo Peng made Shangshutai official, completely separated it from the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, and placed the cabinet as the emperor's confidential secretary department, directly under the emperor.
The establishment of the Imperial History Observatory and the Staff Desk has not changed, Guo Hong and Xi Zhong are still the leaders of the Imperial History Observatory and the Staff Desk, and the two have been rewarded with knighthoods, and their deputies Qiao Rui and Guo Jia have also been knighted.
The Imperial Observatory is still responsible for monitoring the dereliction of duty and breaking the law by officials, and is strongly advocating for impeachment.
The General Staff consulted with the Emperor on military aircraft, and was ordered by the Emperor to go out to assist the army in battle.
Wang Cang, the first assistant of the cabinet, was transferred, and the candidate for the first assistant of the new cabinet was Cao Cao, the former minister of Wei, Guo Peng let Cao Cao serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, and he was given a knighthood as a second-class marquis, and a thousand households were added to the food estate, and he was given a generous reward.
The original Wei Kingdom regained the administrative unit of Jizhou because of the establishment of the Wei Empire, and Guo Peng was transferred to Han Hao, the former Taishou of Hongnong County, to serve as the assassin of Jizhou.
And Shang Shutai has changed a lot.
Cheng Yu is still the unyielding Shang Shuling, the original left servant shot Chen Ji died of illness after taking the initiative to resign, and only Tian Feng was left with one servant, Guo Peng never added an official, never added another servant, so the heads of Shang Shutai are Cheng Yu and Tian Feng.
These two people are still in office, but outside of these two people, Guo Peng has changed a lot.
He directly made a big change to the entire Shangshutai, and changed it beyond recognition, and most people were directly confused when they saw it, not knowing how this division came about.
On the basis of the six departments of the Ministry of Officials, Rites, Soldiers, and Criminal Works, eight departments were divided according to his ideas: the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
With Cheng Yu as the Shangshu Order, he is in charge of the entire Shangshutai, and is also in charge of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and is in charge of the rewards and punishments of officials across the country.
With Tian Feng as the secretary of the book, he assisted Cheng Yu to be in charge of the Shangshutai, and was also in charge of the Ministry of Engineering, and was in charge of urban construction, water conservancy construction, and transportation construction nationwide.
Wang Cang, the former chief assistant of the cabinet, was transferred to the secretary of the Ministry of Finance, in charge of tax statistics, expenditures, and treasury construction nationwide.
He was transferred to the former Henan Yin Zaoyi as the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and was in charge of household registration statistics, the measurement of acres of land, and the construction of the agricultural system nationwide.
Xin Bi, the former official of Shangshutai, was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, replacing Da Honglu to take over diplomatic affairs, and under Guo Peng's order, he recollected all information about the Western Regions.
Cui Yan, the former Taishou of Wei County, was transferred to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, in charge of the construction of the ritual system of all sacrifices and annual festivals of the central court, and restructured the new Wei rites on the basis of the Han rites.
Dong Zhao, the former Taishou of Hedong County, was transferred to serve as the secretary of the military department, in charge of the army's material storage and logistics transportation, etc., and was not directly involved in the military, but directly involved in the military was the general staff, and the military department was equivalent to the logistics department.
He was transferred to Guo Yi, the former Taishou of Taiyuan County, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, in charge of law enforcement, and at the same time was the core department for the formulation of the new "Wei Law", replacing part of the powers of Tingwei, and standing side by side with the three divisions of Sili and Yushitai.
Because the two legal departments of the Yushitai and the Criminal Department were headed by Guo, Guo Peng appointed the position of Si Li's lieutenant to Guo Yuan in order to look better.
Guoyuan is also an old minister, is one of the disciples recommended by Zheng Xuan, a master of scripture in Guo Peng's Qingzhou era, and has served in local positions, from the county order to the county guard to the position of the Central Shangshu Tai Shangshu, the resume is very beautiful, and the knowledge is solid, fair and selfless, Guo Peng handed over the position of Sili Lieutenant to Guoyuan.
In addition, according to the previous agreement, Guo Peng asked Xun You to be Henan Yin, in charge of the construction of the capital area, which can be regarded as an explanation for his efforts.
This is generally the case with administrative divisions, and the lateral transfers of some other officials are very common and not worthy of attention.
And what really deserves attention is the overhaul of Shangshutai itself.
This best reflects the new emperor Guo Peng's structural thinking on the political system of the new dynasty, as well as the future emperor's governance strategy.
It is precisely in this regard that it is difficult for the ministers to understand for a while, because Guo Peng's structure is different from any previous way, and the degree of subdivision is very high.
I don't blame them, in the case of information asymmetry, it is naturally impossible for them to quickly understand what Guo someone's intentions are.
Guo's intention is naturally to take advantage of the unspoken political rules of the dual monarchies since the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and do his best to defeat this unspoken rule that is completely unfavorable to the centralization and autocracy of the monarchy.
This peculiar political rule directly affected the political ecology that followed up to the Sui and Tang dynasties, which Guo could not allow.
The political structure of the Han Dynasty can be said to be a mixture of the political system of Qin and the political system of Zhou.
The so-called Han Cheng Qin system is better said to be the combination of Qin and Zhou, which can be seen from the fact that Liu Bang Dafeng was the king of the clan.
The Qin Dynasty never divided the kings, but in the Western Han Dynasty, there were real power princes and kings, which was obviously different from the system of the Qin Dynasty.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the princes and kings gradually lost power, and after a long period of time in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it finally became the current point of having no power at all.
Even some of the kings who were divided were very poor, such as Liu Hong, the Spirit Emperor when he was not yet the emperor.
Qin II died, and Liu Bang wanted to inherit the Qin system.
So when Liu Bang saw the lesson that the Qin Dynasty was quickly swept away because of the lack of help from the clan, he began to mumble in his heart.
After the kings with different surnames rebelled, Liu Bang was even more sure that the foreign ministers could not be trusted, and only his own people were the most credible, so Liu Bang divided the princes and kings surnamed Liu in the local area and gave them power.
It is impossible not to divide the clan king to defend the central government, but the county system is conducive to the centralization of power, so to sum up, a parallel system of counties and states has been carried out.
In this regard, Liu Bang believes that the Han dynasty has been stabilized.
However, the rebellion of the Lu clan and the rebellion of the Seven Kings after his death is enough to prove that the idea of wanting centralized power and local arch guards is too naïve.
The parallel of the two completely different orientations of the county and the division of feuds will inevitably bring disaster.
Outsiders are unreliable, and your own people are not reliable, so what can you do?
Cold.
As far as Guo knows, all dynasties and dynasties have been very distressed about this kind of thing, and they are worried that if there is no place for their own people to hold the town, it will lead to the emperor being isolated when there is rebellion, but they are also worried that if their own people are big, they will rebel against the central government and compete to be the emperor.
So with the reincarnation of the dynasty, the political behavior of dividing the clan king and not dividing the clan king is also reincarnated, one round at a time, which is very interesting.
Their starting point is to protect the world of one family and one surname, but no one will admit in their hearts that it is extremely dangerous for the imperial power to be in the hands of a family, and it is inevitable that it will be taken away.
The dynasty has come to an end, and it will not change because you have or not have a prince with the same surname.
Are there still fewer kings surnamed Liu in the world?
Is there still a small number of relatives in the Han family?
How many people can stop Guo someone?
Guo has never thought that this kind of thing is really necessary to discuss, in his opinion, if a dynasty goes downhill, it is definitely not a matter of dividing the feudal or the county, there is no need to discuss it at all.
