Chapter 194: The First Discussion of Separation-Official System and Zhu Zanyi
Yun Xi said: "Forget it, let's put aside the matter of the Western Regions first, and I'll tell you two about my statute for the feudal official system." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
Zhu Yang said: "Do you want to call the fourth brother to discuss together?" β
Yun Xi said: "Ah, although the fourth uncle is brave and good at fighting, but after listening to the fourteenth uncle about the Western Regions, I feel that the fourth uncle is not suitable to be the ruler of the Western Regions, and I want to choose another uncle or brother as the ruler of the Western Regions. But I haven't thought about it yet, so I won't talk about it for the time being. β
Yun Xi waited for this passage to finish speaking, and was afraid that Zhu Di would be blind after it was spread out, so he said: "The fourth uncle is the chief of the current kings, and he must seal a feudal country in the future, but I think that the fourth uncle is not suitable for the ruler of the Western Regions." β
At this time, Zhu Ji said: "Since Your Majesty wants to discuss the official system of sealing the country with your royal brothers, the minister will retire." β
Yun Xi didn't care if he retreated or not, since he didn't want to stay here, Yun Xi said, "Then Uncle Fourteen, you can go back." β
Zhu Shu saluted and retired.
Then Yunxi said to Zhu Yang and Zhu Song: "My charter, imitating the early example of the Han Dynasty, the prince of the feudal country resets the left and right princes' mansions, and the left and right kings are appointed by the capital, and the grades are from the second grade, the left Wang Xiang is a military general, and the right Wang Xiang is a civil minister. The rest of the official positions were appointed by the monarch. β
"Set up six departments in imitation of the Beijing Division. But it is not called the six departments, but the six halls, and the chief officer calls it the servant shooting, from the three products; The adjutant called it the Confessor's servant, from the fourth grade. β
"There is a division under the hall, and the first official calls it a pawn, which is six products; The adjutant called it Diancheng, from the six grades. β
"The local officials are all the same as the official positions of the current Ming Dynasty, starting from the prefecture."
Yun Xi designed a system that systematically imitated the current central system of the Ming Dynasty, except for the left and right princes' mansions. Note that it is the king's mansion, not the king's minister.
There is no point in reinstating the throne alone, as the king can easily bypass these two positions. It is necessary to restore the royal minister's mansion and let the prime minister have subordinate officials who can be appointed by himself, so that he can compete with the monarch, and only then can he be regarded as having independent prime minister's power, and can he play a role as a check and balance that Yun Xi wants.
Why can't the cabinet scholars of the Ming Dynasty be compared to the real prime minister? It is because they do not have independent relative power, and all power is subordinate to the emperor. The reason why scholars look awesome is mainly because the emperor is too lazy and not smart enough, and when he encounters an emperor scholar like Jiajing, he doesn't have much power.
In the Western Han Dynasty, the prime minister had great power, and he could appoint, depose, and reward ministers without the consent of the emperor.
Therefore, after reading "Three Kingdoms", Yun Xi thought that Liu Bei did not trust Zhuge Liang very much, because Liu Bei did not allow Zhuge Liang to open the mansion after he became the emperor, but only allowed him to open the mansion when the White Emperor City was in the city. Zhuge Liang, the prime minister who did not open the mansion, may not have the actual power of Zhang Fei, the captain of the school.
The name of the officials of the Six Departments and the Six Divisions, Yun Xi, is an ancient name that has been translated from the "Book of Han", "Historical Records", "Book of the Later Han", "Book of Jin", and "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" to show that this is retro, not innovative.
After Yun Xi finished speaking, he asked, "Can the two uncles have questions about the official system?" β
Zhu Yang said happily and worriedly: "Your Majesty, you have promised us so many official positions at once, where do we find so many people as officials?" β
Yun Xi said, "That's your own business. If you fall in love with the current official of the imperial court, tell me that I may release him. But I'm not going to put too many people. β
"As for the other officials, look for them yourself. No matter whether you are looking for talents in the people by yourself, or what "Searching for Talents Order" is issued, so that talents can take the initiative to find you, and you can do it yourself. If everything is for you, then why should I make you kings! Yoon-hee's last words were a joke.
Then Yun Xi said solemnly: "But although I have allowed you to appoint many officials, but what you have sealed are all border lands, and there are many places where local officials are located, so there should be no need for these many officials at the beginning, except for the left and right princes' mansions, first put up the shelves of the six halls, and the divisions below may not need them." β
"In addition, in the future, when you officially seal the country, it will be different from being a prince now. In the future, you will be the king of a country, and you will be responsible for all the big and small things in the country, but you can't just take care of it if you want to manage it now, and you don't care about it if you don't want to. β
"If you don't handle it properly and cause a catastrophe in the country, then I will find another uncle to replace you. In that case, not only will you lose your feudal state, but I will also have other punishments. β
Yun Xi stared at Zhu Yang again and said: "Uncle Eighteen Wang, especially the Burmese Propaganda Envoy where you are located, there are many taboos there, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will commit a taboo, so you must pay attention." Of course, we must crack down on those who do not obey the king, but we should not use any military strength in vain. β
"In the northeast area sealed by Uncle Twenty, there are fewer taboos there."
Of course, the reason why Yun Xi specifically told Zhu Yang was not just because of this. In history, Zhu Yang was one of the first four kings to be taken down, even if Yun Wei exaggerated, but it shows that Zhu Yang is not so clean, otherwise there are so many vassal kings in the country, why do you take him to the knife? He is not Zhu Di's sibling.
If it weren't for Zhu Yang's ability to do some things, and he happened to be sealed in Yunnan, Yun Xi wouldn't have let him be this king.
Yun Xi said again: "That's all I think about now, is there anything else?" β
Zhu Yang said: "The Burmese Propaganda Envoy is too remote, and the local and northeastern local officials, even the exiled people, and the Langzhong sent to the past, there is no Han on weekdays, if you want to shake the west of Yunnan, you must have Dali Mansion!" β
Zhu Song also said: "Your Majesty, what is the matter with a Kaiyuan city manager? It's better to seal the whole of Liaodong to me. β
Yun Xi first said to Zhu Song: "No! Uncle Wang's fiefdom is only Kaiyuan City, and the places north of it, Liaodong cannot be conferred to Uncle Wang. However, the guards of Liaodong can be temporarily used by Uncle Wang. β
Joke, how could Yun Xi give the entire Northeast to Zhu Song? He also planned to seal at least one more king in the northeast, so it was impossible for Liaodong to be given to him.
Yun Xi turned to Zhu Yang again and said, "It's because I didn't think about it properly, I can't just give you the Burmese Propaganda Envoy." But if you give Dali to Uncle Wang, the Mengyang Xuanfu Envoy to the west of Dali, the Luchuan Ping-Burma Envoy, the Menggen Mansion, the Golden Tooth Military and Civilian Command Envoy (Yongchang Military and Civilian Mansion), Mengding Mansion, Shunning Mansion, and Menghua Prefecture will all be sealed to you, which is equivalent to sealing out half of Yunnan. β
Zhu Yang smiled and said: "But there are few Han people in these places, only Dali people. β
Yun Xi is not particularly opposed, Yunnan has never been able to rely on this place to raise troops to kill the central power, let alone half of Yunnan. So he said, "I'll think about it again and I'll tell you in a few days." β
Yun Xi saw that they were going to talk about it again, Yun Xi said: "For other things, you go back and discuss with the princes, and come to talk to me after you have the charter." β
Zhu Yang and Zhu Song still had a lot of questions to ask, but Yun Xi said so, and they also retired.
Yunxi then called Zhu Zanyi, the king of Jingjiang in Beijing.
Zhu Zanyi was only seventeen years old at this time, three years younger than Yun Xi, and when she saw Yun Xi, she said, "I have seen Your Majesty." β
Yun Xi said: "Why be polite, just call me Uncle Huang." β
Yes, Zhu Chanyi is the only one among the current princes who is a generation younger than Yun Xi. Therefore, Zhu Zanyi did not speak as restrained as other princes, and said, "What is the matter with Uncle Huang?" β
Yun Xi smiled and said, "Zanyi, you haven't gotten married yet, right?" β
Zhu Zanyi said: "Yes, Uncle Huang. β
Yun Xi said: "Then now my uncle orders you not to marry in private, and my uncle will arrange a good family affair for you in the future." β
Zhu Zanyi looked at Yun Xi's expression and felt that what he said was obviously not a bad thing, but why was his expression so weird? But Zhu Zanyi could only nod and say, "Yes, Uncle Huang." "Anyway, he's still young, so it's okay to don't have a concubine. Anyway, you can still find a concubine!
