Chapter 454: Chen Qun

Zhang Jiedao: A letter to Chen Qun, a native of Xu County, Yingchuan, the grandson of Chen Yu, the former chief of Taiqiu of the Han Dynasty, and the son of Chen Ji, the great Honglu. In the fourth year of Jian'an (199), Chen Ji died, and Chen Qun resigned and went home to keep filial piety. He is currently in his hometown in Yingchuan.

(Chen Qun was a great bull who invented the ancient Chinese system, and he invented the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.) In later dynasties, the rank of officials all started from this. In the past, there was no grade, and the size of the official rank was calculated according to how many stones there were, for example, the county guard was 2,000 stones. Moreover, Chen Qun is also the formulator of "Wei Law". Interpreter of the Analects. Chen Qun served as Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rong for three generations, and with his outstanding ability to govern the world, he was loyal and conscientious, and made outstanding contributions to the construction of the etiquette system and political system of the Cao Wei regime. )

The key link of the positive system in the nine products. The so-called Zhongzheng is the person in charge of evaluating the characters in a certain area, that is, the Zhongzheng official. The state has a large central official who is in charge of the evaluation of the characters in several counties in the state, and each county has a small central official. The magistrates were originally elected by the county governors. After the Jin Dynasty, it was selected by Situ in the three princes of the imperial court.

This is a bit of a later meaning for the parliaments of Western countries. Officials can only take office if they have the consent of the center, but the center itself does not have any administrative power. I have to admire Chen Qun's mind for thinking far enough.

However, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is to serve the political system of the gate valve in the Wei and Jin dynasties. It is also the transition from the Han Dynasty to the imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty.

Because it is a product of gate valve politics, in the end, there is no cold door in the upper grade, and there is no gentleman in the lower grade. Ordinary people have no way out of the day. If you want to be an official, it is even more difficult to enter the sky.

Zhang Jie called Chen Qun to come, of course he wouldn't be able to engage in the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, but he could engage in a nine-grade official rank system.

Just like the later dynasties, for example, the six Shangshu, the Tang Dynasty was the third product, the Ming Dynasty was the second product, and the Qing Dynasty was the first product. The general county order is seven products. This is much better than the original division of official positions according to the merits.

Originally, Zhang Jie planned to set up a system of three provinces and six ministries, but Zhang Jie also knew that Shangshu Province of the three provinces was in charge of six ministries, and its power was too great, which was a great threat to the imperial power. It can be said that many absolute powers are greater than the emperor.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the province of Shangshu was still unified by six departments, and the chief was called the prime minister. In the thirteenth year of Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu, Hu Weiyong was punished, the prime minister was abolished, the Zhongshu Province was abolished, and the six ministries were directly responsible to the emperor. At this point, the three provinces of the three-province six-ministry system were completely abolished. The fundamental reason why Zhu Yuanzhang killed Hu Weiyong was to take back power. Because the prime minister has too much power. Seriously threatened the imperial power.

The power of the emperor of the Song Dynasty was actually very small. But in the Song Dynasty, there was a Privy Council to control military power. The ministers did not dare to rebel, and the Song Dynasty did not kill the scholars, so the ministers were still grateful to the emperor, and Bao Cheng dared to spit on Song Renzong, and this was the battle.

This is a dynasty like no other in history. In the past four hundred years, the two Song Dynasty have not killed a few scholars. In the Song Dynasty, as long as you were admitted to the Jinshi, it was equivalent to getting the gold medal for avoiding death. The most that can be done is to be demoted to a foreign place as an official.

And the strange thing is that if your political and metallurgical opponent crushes you, even if the emperor wants to kill you, the Manchu ministers, including your political and metallurgical opponents, will prevent the emperor from killing you. This is also why Shang Ying's reform was divided by five horses, and Wang Anshi's failure to change his law was to change places to become an official.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty system was basically continued, and the six ministries were directly responsible to the emperor, which greatly consolidated the imperial power. Plus the Military Aircraft Division. Therefore, the dynasty with the strongest imperial power in Chinese history was the Qing Dynasty. In fact, this can be regarded as the credit of Zhu Yuanzhang's abolition of the three provinces.

Zhang Jie said: Shiyuan, you just write, Brother Changwen, the Han is not saved. Jie is preparing for the great cause of founding the country, but the only person in the world who knows his brother's talent is Jieer. The nine-grade system, "Wei Lu" is waiting for Brother Changwen to improve. I hope my brother will come to Los Angeles as soon as possible and discuss the big plan!

My lord, is this the end? Pang Tong said.

It's over, there's no need to write too much, Jie dares to prove it, as long as Chen Qun sees Jie's letter, he will immediately come to Luoyang.

also wrote a letter to Chen Lin.

Zhang Jiedao: Just write Brother Kong Zhang, Yangwu has been farewell for several years. My brother misses it very much. Jinjie has a big matter to discuss with his brother, and asks Brother Kong Zhang to come to Luoyang quickly.

My lord, I have written it, please use a seal. Pang Tong said.

Zhang Jie said with a smile: This letter cannot be stamped, it can only be signed. Just sign the letter. Then Zhang Jie wrote an ugly name.

Someone came, Zhang Jie shouted.

Dian Wei came in and said, "What's the matter?"

Oh! Brother, you sent someone to Hebei to find Chen Lin. Chen Lin is currently in Hebei. It's okay for you to ask people to go to Zhengnan first. Zhengnan should know that Chen Lin is in Yecheng.

Promise!

Also, let Yuanfu go to Yingchuan Xu County. Give the letter to Chen Qun and protect him to come to Luoyang by the way. Please be polite. If you can't find it for a while, let the county order of Xu County lead the way.

Promise!

At the beginning of the new year, Jiang Gan came to Xiangyang. Xuan Zhao and named Liu Qi "King of Chu".

When Liu Qi received the edict of the Son of Heaven and was named the king of Chu, his mind was a little cloudy for a while.

Liu Qi said to Jiang Gan: Ziyi was born first, and His Majesty is far away in Chengdu. Mr. came from Luoyang, how could it be that Mr. came to deliver the edict? This edict can't be an edict, right?

Jiang Gandao: The king's words are serious, the edict is true, and it is covered with a jade seal to pass on the country, how dare you fake the holy decree.

Liu Qi still didn't believe it, but Jiang Gan was a messenger, and he couldn't offend him, so he could only call everyone to discuss. Dao: Mr. go back to the post house to rest first. Tomorrow, I will invite my husband over to the banquet.

Promise!

Wait for Kuai Liang, Liu Xian, Yi Yuan, Cai Mao and others to arrive. Liu Qi said: The Son of Heaven suddenly issued an edict to seal Qi as the king of Chu, how do you explain it? And the edict was delivered by Jiang Gan, the envoy of Wei Hou Zhang Jie.

Everyone was also a little surprised. Liu Xiandao: How could the Son of Heaven issue an edict to crown the king of Chu? It can't be an overkill, right?

Liu Qi took out the edict and said: This is the edict, which has the jade seal of the country and the seal of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Xian opened the edict, took a closer look, and said: The seal is real.

It's just that this is not written by the Son of Heaven himself. However, the edict issued by the Son of Heaven is generally the edict prepared by the Yellow Gate Squire, and the Son of Heaven is stamped with a seal.

In this way, the edict is true, but why did the Son of Heaven suddenly issue an edict to seal the king of Chu? Shouldn't it? And even if it is an edict from the Son of Heaven, it should come from Chengdu. How could it be Jiang Gan? Jiang Gan is in Luoyang!

Kuai Liang understood what was going on, this was obviously Zhang Jie's edict, but the jade seal on the edict had already been prepared.

Yi Dao: Maybe before the Son of Heaven went to Chengdu, Zhang Jie forced the Son of Heaven to edict. It's just that the edict has only been passed down now.

Liu Xiandao: Why did Zhang Jie do this? What's in it for him?

Yi Jidao: It's very simple, Zhang Jie is planning to be the king himself. Seal others as kings first, and then seal yourself at the end, so that you will block other people's mouths! If my guess is correct, Zhang Jie will also crown Sun Quan as king.

Liu Qidao: I see. It's just that Gaozu once said that those who are not surnamed Liu are called kings and the world are punished together. Does Zhang Jie really dare to risk the world's disapproval to claim the king?
