Chapter 423: The Beginning of the Great Reformation

From ten generals to county lieutenants, he is undoubtedly promoted to an official, or the one who ascends to the sky in one step, but Zhao Yusheng can't be happy no matter what, how did he become Guo Wuwei's subordinate again? In case the old guy stumbles and wears small shoes, won't his life be impossible?

Will Your Majesty take care of him, or will you trap him?

Zhao Yusheng wanted to break his head, but he didn't understand what the Son of Heaven meant.

Maybe this is the unpredictable providence!

Ye Hua patted him on the shoulder with a smile and comforted: "Groom, cheer up." You are now Jane in the emperor's heart, as long as you do things well, no one will do anything to you. ”

Zhao Yusheng woke up from his stupidity, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Hou Ye for mentioning it, but my subordinates don't understand anything, and I am afraid that I will live up to the grace of the saint and be ashamed of Your Majesty." ”

"It's good to have a sense of awe, learn the rest slowly, you are a good groom official now, don't think so much."

After Ye Hua appeased Zhao Yusheng, this kid finally relied on his courage to complete the wedding smoothly, and the little princess was sent to the cave room...... Chai Rong was smiling from beginning to end, "I and Qing and others drink this cup and celebrate a good relationship together!" ”

Everyone toasted together, elated, drank and celebrated, and the scene was particularly lively.

can get the blessing of the Son of Heaven, no matter what, this wedding is not bad. Zhao Yusheng's face turned red, he felt that his life was worth it, marrying a princess, having an emperor to attend the wedding, even if he died tomorrow, he could show off to his ancestors with a smile.

After drinking, Chai Rong smiled and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't stay much, you can celebrate well." ”

After the emperor said goodbye and left, Ye Hua and Guo Wuwei got up at the same time and left with Chai Rong. When they left, Fu Zhaoxin and a few generals looked at each other, this thing is so strange!

"You say, let Zhao Yusheng be the county lieutenant, but which county do you want to arrange him in? Also, how could Guo Wuwei become his boss, could it be that Guo Wuwei wanted to be a county magistrate? Also, Zhao Yusheng used to be a military member, how could he be an official directly? Why do I think that all the rules have been broken, what is Your Majesty going to do? ”

Big guy, look at me, I'll look at you, what is Your Majesty going to do, where do they know!

The last few people smiled at Fu Zhaoxin, "Ask your brother-in-law, he knows for sure!" ”

Of course, Ye Hua knew Chai Rong's plan, and this plan was discussed by him and Chai Rong.

"Ye Qing, the last order left by my father to me is to ask me to solve the 200-year-old division of feudal towns, I have reorganized the forbidden army, and I have withdrawn the right to appoint and dismiss the envoys of Jiedu, I thought it was enough. But Li Yun's incident reminded me that what I have done now is far from enough! ”

Chai Rong couldn't help but clench his fists, even after some days, his anger was still difficult to contain!

He once trusted Li Yun, promoted and reused, and wanted to hand over all the embroidered messengers to him.

But what about this guy?

Selfishness, blind eyes, allowing Manichaeism to enter the army, almost caused a catastrophe, if the Yellow River is really dug up, even if Li Yun dies 10,000 times, it is not enough!

The angry Chai Rong gave Li Yun to five horses and sentenced him to death.

After killing Li Yun, Chai Rong did not give up, but carried out a deep reflection, the reason why this situation happened was that power was too concentrated.

At the local level, the Jiedu envoy is not only in charge of the army, but also manages the civil affairs prison warehouse, to put it bluntly, he is a soil emperor, and the power is concentrated in one.

It's just that Li Yun is a "faint king", there is a villain Liu Jichong by his side, and there is Manichaeism, plus there is no one else to supervise and contain it, so he made a major rebellion and almost ruined the Great Zhou!

The lesson is not profound!

Local restructuring is imperative!

And this time the destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty and the occupation of the twelve prefectures in Hedong was an excellent opportunity to implement the new system.

Chai Rong keenly seized the opportunity, but how to promote, Chai Rong has not completely made up his mind, he needs someone to provide pertinent advice.

After this incident, Chai Rong completely recognized Ye Hua's talent. And in order to protect the Yellow River, Ye Hua did not hesitate to "escape", if he misjudged and delayed the major event of attacking Jinyang, Ye Hua would be blamed by all sides, and his reputation would be ruined.

But Ye Hua didn't hesitate, he did what he had to do.

After solving the danger of the Yellow River, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately returned to Jinyang.

If such a minister is not trusted, there will be no one to trust.

"I want to completely rectify the place and collect the power of the moderation, what does Ye Qing think?"

Ye Hua smiled bitterly twice, and wondered: "Your Majesty, the minister is also holding the position of the envoy of the Xiong'an Army, should Your Majesty ask Master Wang to discuss?" ”

"No!"

Chai Rong said arrogantly: "I just want to listen to your opinion, what do you say, I will do it!" Chai Rong paused, and said: "Ye Qing, back then, you and I went north together, hunted with the Khitan, and planned to recover Yanyun, you were not so restrained at that time!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister was young and frivolous at the time, and he didn't know how to measure!"

"No!" Chai Rong sneered: "That's your pure heart, dedicated to seeking the country, my father said that you are a pure minister, you can be entrusted with big things, and he didn't see the wrong person." ”

Chai Rong stretched out his hand and pulled Ye Hua to his side, and then said earnestly: "I have been the emperor for almost a year, and the truth I can hear is getting less and less, and the so-called lonely people are probably like this. I don't want to lose even your friend, Ye Hua, can't you and I be honest with each other? ”

Chai Rong's words, sincerely, with a trace of sadness, indeed, the most difficult chair in the world is the dragon chair! Especially in the face of a rare chaos in thousands of years, if you want to bring the world back to great governance, the burden on Chai Rong's shoulders is heavy, and outsiders can't imagine it!

It's no wonder that he died young, he really can't bear it!

Ye Hua shook his head vigorously and no longer hesitated, "Your Majesty asked the minister to say, and the minister dared to speak, just to give Your Majesty a reference." ”

"Well, you just have to say, I can still hear it." Chai Rong intervened and said in a muffled voice.

Ye Hua coughed and cleared his throat.

"To solve the problem of the feudal town and adjust the local authority, Zhao Pu actually put forward a proposal on this matter, and also gave His Majesty a twelve-character policy...... It's just that the minister thought that although his method could solve the division of the feudal towns, the repossession of all the power would inevitably cause the local weakening and inability to cope with the unexpected situation. Especially at the moment, Big Thursday is facing enemies, and if everything has to wait for the court to decide, it is really inefficient. ”

"The minister thinks that the local government should be adjusted, the first and most important thing is the grain, and the permanent position should be taken out separately and handed over to the household department for unified management and allocation.

"Yes!"

"The second is criminal and prison affairs, the so-called human life is a matter of heaven, and the power of life and death can only be exercised by His Majesty, and other ministers cannot be encroached upon. The minister thought that it was necessary to add a member of the criminal prison to be responsible for the security of the criminal name, arrest thieves, and clean up bandits. ”

"Well, that's right!"

"Is this the third point...... Ye Hua hesitated, how to solve the problem of the feudal town, the experience of the Great Song Dynasty is there, the most important thing is to set up a transfer envoy, in addition to mastering one or several ways of wealth, the envoy also leads the inspection of local officials, maintains law and order, counts the prisons, and recommends the virtuous and other positions, completely depriving the power of the envoy of the jiedu, the dictatorship of the martial arts, and the situation of the division of the feudal town is naturally solved.

But the consequences of doing so are also obvious.

The transshipment envoy deprived the local government of its financial rights, resulting in the decay of the local area and its inability to cope with the changes.

In addition, the transfer envoy was served by a civilian official, which completely excluded Takefu from the power system.

There is no power in the DPRK and China, and there is no power in the localities.

The civil and military are completely unbalanced, and the civilian family is dominant, and everyone knows exactly what the result will be in the end......

"What, Ye Qing didn't dare to say it?" Chai Rong asked.

"The minister, the minister thought that there should be a political envoy in the local area to be responsible for civil affairs, and in addition, in the important border areas, a pacification envoy should be set up to take charge of the military power...... All the pacification envoys are selected from among the respected generals to be responsible for the military affairs of one side for a maximum term of three years, and if there is a war, it can be appropriately extended, but not for a long time, so as not to fall off the tail! All the ministers of the Privy Council shall be called back to the Privy Council upon the expiration of their term of office, and shall assist His Majesty in the coordination of military affairs in case of consultation! ”

……

Ye Hua kept talking, and he told all his ideas about the local official system and the military system, and he had no reservations.

Ye Hua's design basically adopted the advantages of the local government system of the Song and Ming dynasties, and increased the authority of the warriors to avoid the problem of civil dominance...... He made the suggestion out of pure justice.

It's just that what the emperor thinks, it's not up to Ye Hua to have the final say.

Chai Rong narrowed his eyes, thinking about Ye Hua's proposal...... First of all, the division of financial power and the right to criminal name, these two Chai Rong absolutely recognized, and there was no objection.

The core of the next step is the division of power between the political envoys and the economic and strategic pacification envoys.

The political envoy is in charge of civil affairs and personnel, and the economic and pacification envoy is responsible for military affairs and war preparedness, and the two contain each other and cooperate with each other...... "Well, what Ye Qing said is really the way to seek the country!" But I want to ask you, there are many generals in the army at present, and there are not a few who can take on the heavy responsibility of economic strategy. But a few years later, the world will be peaceful, and the will wither, and at that time, there will be many civil servants, what should I do? How to balance the civil and military? ”

Chai Rong has indeed seen far enough, the so-called balance between civil and military affairs is by no means something that can be solved by designing a few official positions. For example, at present, military generals are used as economic strategy pacification envoys, and after one or two decades, they will become civilian officials as economic strategy, which will still cause civilian officials to dominate the power and become a dominant family.

This situation happened in the Song and Ming dynasties.

"Your Majesty, under the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the family is prosperous, under the imperial examination, there are many civil ministers, if Your Majesty wants to balance civil and military, you must give Wufu a way to enter the officialdom!"

Chai Rong suddenly smiled, "Ye Hua, what you are talking about can't be Qin Han's military merit knighthood, right?" ”

"The minister thinks that it is not only a title, but also an official position...... Meritorious martial artists can start from small officials, and in the future promotion evaluation, in terms of political performance, with these people, it is enough to balance the civil servants who are selected by the imperial examination. Your Majesty uses both civil and military forces, learns from each other's strengths, and does not worry about the great Zhou! Ye Hua put forward the most critical proposal.
