Wen Chou on the side whispered: "Lord, you just talked about abolishing the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries system. ”

"Oh yes..." Yuan Xi continued: "Abolish the system of three princes and nine secretaries, and change it to a system of three provinces and six ministries. What is the three-province six-ministry system? The three provinces refer to Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province. Their role is to make decisions, issue orders.... ”

"The six ministries are the Ministry of Officials, which are in charge of the promotion, appointment, and selection of officials in various places. The household department is in charge of the world's money and grain account books. The Ministry of Etiquette is in charge of etiquette. The military department is in charge of the local army. The Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Law, the Ministry of Works.... ”

"Under the six departments, there are twenty-four divisions, and the division of labor is clear."

"With these departments, all the things in the world are concentrated, and when we sit in Yecheng, we can know the affairs of the world, and it is also very convenient to manage. I have already scrutinized it many times, and this official system is far better than the system of three princes and nine secretaries, and I have ordered people to print many copies, so you can all take a look. Yuan Xi asked Wen Chou to distribute all the prepared copywriting, one copy for each person.

"What I just said is not very detailed, but the general meaning is reached, you can read it carefully, and then discuss it with me." Yuan Xi's mouth was dry, and he sat down to drink tea.

The ministers held the copywriting and looked through it carefully.

After a long time...

"Back to the lord, this system is excellent and can be used. It's just that... There is a little bit of a flaw. It would be better if this flaw was corrected. ”

"Tell me about it."

"Yes."

"The lord introduced in the copywriting that Shangshu Province is the highest decision-making body, and the consul general does everything, but he does not have the right to issue orders, so they can only write down the things they decide and submit them to the Zhongshu Province. The Ministry of Books is responsible for reviewing and reviewing the documents, documents, and decrees to be issued, and sending them to the Ministry of Menxia. The Ministry of Men agreed before it could be released. If you do not agree, you can reject the decision of Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province, and then discuss and decide. This system is very good and minimizes mistakes. It's just that... It's too cumbersome. The lord tried to think that if an order was issued during the war, it would have to change hands several times, such as escorting grain and grass to the front line, and it could not be carried out for a long time, for fear that the soldiers in front would starve to death, and the order had not yet been issued, wouldn't this be a self-seeking obstacle? I thought... These three departments can be omitted and all of them will be concentrated in the Military Administration Department. It is convenient to issue orders, and it also saves the cumbersome passing around. ”

"Reconsideration."

Tian Feng stood up and said.

The rest of the officials were silent.

Guo Tu has always liked to protect himself, and he spoke according to Yuan Xi's wishes, and he didn't follow blindly at this time.

"There's some truth to what you're saying..." Yuan Xi couldn't help but think about it again.

The system of the Sui and Tang dynasties is good, but it must also conform to reality. What is Actual? The Three Kingdoms were a chaotic time, with wars going on almost every day, and more orders needed to be issued than ever before. However, the three-province system has cumbersome procedures, and the orders cannot be issued, and the consequences caused are immeasurable.

Yuan Xi combined the current situation and made modifications: "Since the three-province system is troublesome, let's omit it." The twists and turns of the six ministries were all sent to the Military Administration Office, and all military and internal affairs were decided by the Military Administration Department. ”

"Mr. Fu."

"The minister is here."

Yuan Xi sat down and said, "The officials of the six ministries need about a hundred, you make a list and submit it to me for reading." In addition, your military administration department should also make a slight change and assign those who are idle and have limited ability to the departments below. Because under the six departments, there are twenty-four divisions. A large number of officials are required to manage. ”

"Your Ministers obey."

The matter of the official system was decided in this way.

Yuan Xi picked up the copywriting in front of him again: "Next, let's talk about the second thing." Everyone knows that although the Han family is declining, it has not perished, although the Son of Heaven is young and has no name, but he is still the Son of Heaven, and although I am the lord of Jizhou, I have jurisdiction over five or six states, and I have gained half of the world, so I can still be a minister. Since he is a minister, he cannot be promoted to an official at will. But if you don't promote officials, how can you govern the world, how can you fight? That's why I've decided to make a hypothetical bounty... ”

These words are somewhat new.

The whispering of the civil and military people.

"Dare to ask the lord, what is a hypothetical reward?" Tian Feng asked.

Yuan Xi chuckled and said, "I'll explain it to you." What a hypothetical bounty means... You say he's true, he's true, you say he's fake, he's fake. In other words, I will give you a reward now, and there is no legitimacy, because I am not the emperor, and the Emperor of Han will not give you rewards one by one, and your title will not be recognized by anyone. Maybe... It can't be called a reward, it should be called a promise. If one day, I have won the world, all the rewards will come true. If you don't win the world, then no matter how many rewards you have, it's just empty words. I say that, do you understand? ”

To put it bluntly, Yuan Xi was afraid of Ma Chao and didn't want to oppose the Han Dynasty too early. The previous abolition of the Han Dynasty's system of three princes and nine secretaries was already a great rebellion, and if it was openly declared to the outside world and rewarded officials, it might cause dissatisfaction among many people.

The abolition of the system of three princes and nine secretaries can be regarded as throwing stones to ask for directions, and test the reaction of the princes and the people.

And the matter of rewarding officials can only be done secretly, anyway, all the princes do the same.

Tian Feng said: "Since the imperial court moved the capital to Xuchang, the princes from all walks of life have their own policies, and rarely ask Xuchang for advice. The appointment and reward of all officials were at the discretion of the princes. Although it is unreasonable, it is also tacit. The lord said that this was a promise, and the minister thought it was excellent. The minister also believes that the promise will be fulfilled. ”

"Well, it's good that you understand." Yuan Xi said: "I decided... The official position is still the same as that of the imperial court. According to your past merits and talents, a large-scale promotion will be carried out. ”

"Yuan Hao."

"Yes."

Yuan Xi said: "Compile the merits and materials of all officials and generals and hand them over to me." I will give a resolution within a month. At that time, not only will the appointments of the six ministers be announced, but your new titles will also be announced. ”

"No."

Tian Feng should go down.

........

........

The meeting lasted all morning.

Everyone's legs hurt when they were standing, and there was no way to end it.

Because there are so many things to discuss.

Yuan Xi only mentioned the resolution of the formation of the six departments, how to set it up and where the office was located, no one knew it, and it could only be continuously improved under Yuan Xi's suggestion.

Originally, he was going to announce the change of military rank, but because there were too many things to discuss, Yuan Xi did not mention it again.

The pilgrimage ends.

The officials went back to lunch.

Yuan Xi also went to the backyard and dined with Zhen Mi and Gao Ling.

"Husband, the concubine has something to ask you." Gao Ling brought over a chopstick dish.

"Why are you so polite today. Just say something. ”

"Forget it, I'll talk about it later..." Gao Ling glanced at Zhen Mi and said.
