Chapter 872: Whose Cake Was Moved?
"Your Majesty wants to restore the Qin system?"
In the yamen of the blue-clothed guard mansion, Wang Junlin said with a stunned face: "Your Majesty wants to restore the Qin system?" Almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are opposed, and all the gate valve families are opposed, what a big cake this has moved, don't these people know that Your Majesty will kill people if they disagree recently? ”
"My lord, what kind of food is cake, why haven't my subordinates heard of it?" Xu Jingzong looked puzzled.
"What the cake is is not the point...... Don't interrupt. Wang Junlin glared and said.
Xu Jingzong immediately forgot about the cake completely, and said with a smile: "My lord, Your Majesty's restoration of the Qin system this time is not a simple matter to follow the Qin system......
Wang Junlin gradually came back to his senses, and suddenly remembered another thing that Yang Guang did in history that was praised by later generations, and asked: "Your Majesty has to abolish the state system?" ”
Xu Jingzong said with admiration: "Your Excellency is wise, Your Majesty wants to abolish all state capitals and implement the two-tier system of counties and counties, which will formally restore the regional structure of the Qin Dynasty." ”
Wang Junlin thought that this was indeed the case, but he still couldn't help but be surprised, this is a big reform from top to bottom! Not to mention anything else, it directly reduced the number of official positions in the country by one-third, and it was mainly the officials at the state level who were "laid off", and now the administrative officials who control the state capital from the top and bottom of the Great Sui are basically from the gate valve family and the big nobles, no wonder it has caused such a big backlash, Your Majesty This is to get rid of the shackles of the gate valve family, and directly come to the bottom of the kettle!
"I let you damn gate valve families control the state capital, I directly revoked the state government yamen, let you eat shit and ......" Wang Junlin stood in Yang Guang's perspective, and suddenly these thoughts appeared in his mind, thinking that Yang Guang was playing mahjong as a banker, and he couldn't be fooled by the other three people, so he directly flipped the table!
"Your Majesty, this is ......... cough, Your Majesty is really courageous......" Wang Junlin was sincerely admired.
Xu Jingzong sighed: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has tried to cultivate cronies and henchmen, and found ways to place them in the three provinces and six departments of the imperial court and the local prefectures and counties, but the effect of the county and county levels is remarkable, but the state capital has not made much progress, and the effect of the three provinces and six departments is there, but most of the main positions of the important ministers are still standing by the gate valve family, and now it seems that His Majesty has lost patience......"
Xu Jingzong said these words
At that time, his expression was quite complicated, and there was a faint pleasure in the depths of his eyes. Although Xu Jingzong's city government is very deep, Wang Junlin still understands the unfinished meaning in his words.
Xu Jingzong's family was originally a down-and-out nobleman, a loser in the struggle between nobles, if Yang Guang can't break the status quo of the gate valve family controlling the state capital, it will be difficult to make people other than the door valve family become high-ranking officials, although Xu Jingzong now also belongs to the class of high-ranking officials, but after all, it is not in the scope of the three provinces, six departments and states and counties, which is more or less regretful for him who is a scholar, and deep down in his heart has a lot of hatred for the gate valve family that controls the important ministers and high-ranking officials.
Now it seems that Yang Guang has moved a large piece of the cake of the gate valve family, no wonder it has suffered such a big rebound.
"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and the system of prefectures, counties and counties should have been changed to two levels of counties and counties a long time ago."
"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were only thirteen states in the world, with more than 100 counties under its jurisdiction. After the division of the Three Kingdoms, the southern states of Jing, Yang, Yi, Jiao and other states had great development, and by the time of the unification of the Western Jin Dynasty, the number increased to 19 states. However, in the following 200 years, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Northern and Southern Dynasties were divided, and a large number of ruling regimes were added in various regions and generations, and when the First Emperor Dynasty replaced the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Great Sui, there were 211 prefectures, 508 counties, and 1124 counties in the world, and a county generally only governed one to three counties, and the significance of the three-level administrative division was not great, and many counties were not actually governed, but this additional administrative mechanism still caused a huge local bureaucratic system, increasing the burden on the court and the people......"
Xu Jingzong explained reasonably, his expression was a little complicated, but what he said was extremely reasonable.
"Jing Zong's words are reasonable." Wang Junlin thought so, nodded and said.
Xu Jingzong hurriedly said: "It's just that all the gate lords are suspicious, not only the three provinces, six ministries and nine secretaries are opposed, but also instigated so many officials to oppose it, my lord, should our Blue Cloth Wei Mansion take the initiative to help Your Majesty do something?" ”
After speaking, Xu Jingzong suddenly felt a little weak, after all, it was rare for him to make suggestions this time without thinking from Wang Junlin's point of view, purely what he thought in his heart, what he liked and disliked, which was extremely rare for his character and code of conduct.
"That's right, we want to do something for Your Majesty, but the interests involved in this matter are too great, and we can't act rashly
Let's see what happens. Wang Junlin took a deep look at Xu Jingzong, he knew that he would be released as an official in half a year at the latest, and what he wanted to do must leave the center of the imperial court, and the farther away from Yang Guang was better, so if he had to do it, he didn't want to make extraneous branches at this time.
"Your Excellency is reasonable, the interests involved in this are far greater than when the capital was decided to move, but Your Majesty has made up his mind, and the gate valve family may not back down, this matter is ......"
Xu Jingzong shook his head and sighed, he didn't say the next words, but the implication was that sooner or later, His Majesty would let Wang Junlin help, just like the obstacles encountered when he decided to move the capital, and in the end it was Wang Junlin who helped to get it.
……
……
All the state capitals were withdrawn, and the decision to implement the two-tier system of counties and counties was not passed at the court meeting, but Yang Guang suddenly issued an order for the cabinet to directly start preparing the plan.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the important ministers of the three provinces, six ministries and nine ministers stood up to strongly oppose it, and knelt in front of the Chengtian Gate several times to ask to see Tianyan, but Yang Guang avoided it.
As he gradually grasped power in his own hands, and the court and local governments also installed many of his own henchmen, Yang Guang acted more and more toughly.
However, Yang Guang's cake this time was too big, and the various gate valve families no longer tolerated it.
……
……
The court was noisy and chaotic, and Wang Junlin wore a simple robe and followed Shen Guang to Dongshi.
In an inconspicuous restaurant in Dongshi, Wang Junlin sat in a very inconspicuous small box, watching the shopkeeper rush back and forth to greet guests, while he and Shen Guang drank the golden soufflé slowly.
After waiting for half an hour, two figures walked outside the door, Shen Guang smiled, pointed to the middle-aged man with a white and handsome face who walked in front, and laughed softly: "That is the personal representative sent by the Prime Minister of Goguryeo, Yuan Taizuo, on the bright face is a businessman in Liaodong, named Mao Haiming, and the person behind him is his entourage, his strength is not weak, and he is a master of breaking the merit." ”
When Shen Guang whispered in Wang Junlin's ear, Mao Haiming had already walked to the restaurant with an entourage, and the shopkeeper stepped forward to greet him politely, Mao Haiming was very polite, first saluted the shopkeeper, and then asked where Wang Junlin was in the box, and walked towards them.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
