Chapter Seventy-Three: Liu Wenxiu's Eastward Journey II

The group abandoned the boat and rode on horseback and entered the city of Wuchang.

In Wuchang City, although it is not as bustling as the upstream people. But it's also very densely populated.

Liu Wenxiu and Zhou Fuchen acted together, and Zhou Fuchen played the tooth card of General Fubo, and pedestrians on both sides avoided it.

But it's just an avoidance. is not too afraid of the travel of high-ranking officials of the Xia Army.

Thinking of the panicked atmosphere in Chengdu, Liu Wenxiu couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart. Under Wang Zhaoling's persuasion, Zhang Xianzhong cracked down on the Sichuan Shidaifu bureaucracy.

However, Zhang Xianzhong may be very good at marching and fighting. But when it comes to political maneuvers, it's not so good.

The Great Western Army only occupied the area near Chengdu, and the enemies in eastern and southern Sichuan fought back and forth with the official army.

The people's hearts are not very stable, and there must be people who want to bet on both ends. This is also human nature. And Zhang Xianzhong wanted to suppress it, so naturally he had a bad grasp of proportion, and the attack surface was too large.

And the gentry scholars were famous people in the Ming Dynasty society. Although the killing is not large, the impact is very large, and it creates a situation of panic in the whole society.

Compared with Wuchang's side, it can't be compared at all.

Luo Yulong's greatest achievement was to establish the civil official system of Great Xia.

Of course, this is also with the help of Jiangnan talents.

After all, the end of the Ming Dynasty almost dominated the south of the Yangtze River. Nanzhili, plus the number of officials in Zhejiang, almost stood more than fifty percent of the Ming court.

This is the foundation of the momentum of the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty, and Qian Qianyi is also the leader of Donglin.

With his help, he recruited many experienced Ming ministers.

The civil service system was reorganized.

After all, Nanjing is the old capital of the Ming Dynasty, although the six departments here in Nanjing are all furnishings, but the basic management rights are still there, and the administrative and military power of the entire Nanzhili is among the six departments in Nanjing.

Qian Qianyi established the Great Xia civil official system on the basis of the six departments of Nanjing.

However, Great Xia did not completely inherit the Ming Dynasty system, and the minimum military system was completely different from that of the Ming Dynasty.

Luo Yulong and his son had an undoubted change in the Ming system, that is, the integration of the cabinet scholars with the six Shangshu.

This may seem like a simple design, but in fact it is an unprecedented act of decentralization.

Even the Luo family and their sons, together with Zhang Xuan, probably didn't think of this.

There is no other reason, they do not understand the Ming system.

In the system designed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Liubu Shangshu is the head of government, but the real decision-making power is in the hands of the emperor, and even the transfer of large sums of money in the household department must be approved by the emperor. Without the emperor's consent, the six departments are still there

Books can't do anything to change.

Emperor Hongwu is a monarch.

Later emperors naturally could not inherit such an act of Emperor Hongwu. The Cabinet came into being, but the Cabinet was born with a lack of congenital deficiencies, and it was developed from a secretarial organ, and he was only responsible for doing things on orders at most.

The emperor put part of the decision-making power, the so-called power of the red cloth, above the eunuchs.

This also caused the ministers of the Ming Dynasty not to collude with the eunuchs, and they could not control the power.

Luo Yulong himself did not know much about the specific administration, and was even very unfamiliar, he combined the six Shangshu with the functions and powers of the cabinet scholars, and the specific attention was all rough, never paying attention to the details

It can be said that all decision-making powers are decentralized, except for military and financial powers. A lot of big things. Modifications and additions to the Ming system. It's all set at the cabinet level.

The power of the cabinet has increased greatly, and matters other than military affairs are almost a combination of the cabinet and the celebrant and the celebrant superintendent.

In fact, the Qing court was also doing the same thing, that is, supplementing and revising the Ming system.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty fell to this extent was actually the collapse of the Hongwu system. But the most convenient ruling system to establish now is to inherit the system of the Ming Dynasty and make changes on top of it.

From this point of view, the Great Xia and the Qing Dynasty are similar in terms of system, both inherit the Ming system in civil affairs and open a separate one in military affairs.

In any case, any system is better than no system at all.

Zhang Xianzhong's side has no system and no rules, and Zhang Xianzhong's attack is too large, which has caused panic among the people.

Compared with the situation under the rule of Great Xia, it cannot be compared at all.

Liu Wenxiu's sigh in his heart did not subside, Zhou Fuchen had already placed Liu Wenxiu in the post house.

Luo Yulong and Liu Wenxiu are also old acquaintances.

After all, there is not much difference between the positions of the two sides in the dedication camp and Cao Ying's status, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, under Yang Sichang's heaven and earth net, Cao Ying and the dedication camp are quite closely connected, and the two sides have a good friendship with each other. Just as Wang Zhaoling's judgment.

For Luo Yulong now, after he has just ascended the throne and controlled Great Xia, on the one hand, he wants to calm down and let the whole of Great Xia adapt to his rule.

Habit is a powerful force. Everyone is used to it, and Luo Yulong's rule is a matter of course.

On the other hand, Luo Yulong is also eager to make some meritorious achievements, so that everyone in Daxia can see that he Luo Yulong, the current Luo Long. It is not a tiger father and a dog son. And the olive branch thrown by Zhang Xianzhong was naturally taken in by Luo Long.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Wenxiu arrived, within a day, Li Guofu personally came to deliver a message and invited Liu Wenxiu to enter the palace.

Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Wenxiu came to the gate of the palace early in the morning.

Liu Wenxiu came very early, and came here in the early morning when it was dawning, but he just waited in the ear room and listened

After the quiet whip sounded outside, the civil officials of the brigade went inside to do the work, and discussed for several hours in a row, and only after the light of day did the ministers disperse.

During this period, Liu Wenxiu used some snacks to cushion his stomach. After the court meeting dispersed, Liu Wenxiu was invited into the side hall.

As soon as Liu Wenxiu entered the side hall, he only felt that the light was slightly dim, and his eyes shrank slightly, and then he got used to it. I saw Luo Yulong sitting behind the desk, one side was full of bookshelves, as if it was a library, and on these bookshelves, there were different labels, such as Nanjing, Zhejiang, Huai'an, Fujian, Jiangxi, Huguang, Henan, Dongyu, Nanming, Daxi, as well as taxes, troops, land, customs, and so on.

And the notes on each bookshelf are also somewhat different, some are filled with a bookshelf, and even a lot more, and some are only loaded with a layer of bookshelf, Liu Wenxiu peeked at it, but saw that there was only one layer on the bookshelf in Daxi, and dozens of books were just sparse.

I don't know that Zhang Xianzhong's current power is not enough for Daxia to pay more attention to. Or Daxia doesn't have the energy to pay more attention to Daxi.

Liu Wenxiu gathered his mind and saluted: "The foreign minister pays a visit to the Emperor of Great Xia." ”

"Haha----。" Luo Yulong laughed loudly: "Brother Liu, why should he be like this. You and I have been friends for many years, what are you polite? ”

Liu Wenxiu listened to Luo Yulong's laughter, and his heart was slightly relaxed. Maybe Luo Yulong didn't feel it himself, but Liu Wenxiu clearly felt that Luo Yulong was not what it used to be.

In the past, Luo Yulong was just a general who charged into battle, but now Luo Yulong has a bit of the style of a master, although his personality can still be obvious, not as quiet as Luo Rucai, no one can guess his thoughts, but he also has a bit of bearing.

After all, in Nanjing for a year, Luo Yulong already has some experience in how to deal with state affairs.

Luo Yulong came out to help Liu Wenxiu, and the two guests sat down. Luo Yulong asked, "How is Uncle Zhang?" ”

Liu Wenxiu said: "Your Majesty is bothered, my father is well, and Queen Xinna." Spring and autumn are in full bloom. ”

Speaking of this matter, Liu Wenxiu's heart sank slightly, this queen is not too friendly to Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons, without him, the four righteous sons are powerful, how should the queen's concubines deal with themselves in the future? This question has become the biggest contradiction between the four righteous sons and the queen's prime minister.

Zhang Xianzhong seems to have a wait-and-see mentality.

On the one hand, Zhang Xianzhong also has the mind of passing on his career to his descendants like Luo Rucai, on the other hand, Zhang Xianzhong also knows that his team is established in the hands of the four righteous sons, and the matter of inheritance cannot be easily started, otherwise it will be a big deal if Xiao Wall is in trouble.

Even so, Liu Wenxiu, as one of the four righteous sons, has already smelled something bad. Sending him as an envoy to Bactria may be one of the signs. After all, Liu Wenxiu, as a major general, is more important than an envoy, no matter how suitable it is, it can't change Liu Wenxiu's real power I don't know how much. It's not the same as before, and whether you can recover after you go back is another matter.
