Text Chapter 940 Three Academies and Eight Departments
On the afternoon of the 21st of the lunar month, Guo Shijun rushed to Xi'an from Chengdu, and Li Zicheng immediately summoned him secretly in the small hall, and He Xiaomi was not even present.
After Guo Shijun made a big salute as usual, he sat down opposite Li Zicheng, "The Metropolitan Governor has decided to be the emperor?" β
Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said, "Does Shijun think there is anything wrong?" If not, it's too late! β
"Fei Ye, Fei Ye," Guo Shijun shook his head and said busily: "The Mandate of Heaven Army has occupied several provinces, and it is a military victory. β
Li Zicheng said: "This time as the emperor, will he become a rising bird in the eyes of the imperial court?" β
"What about the first bird? The imperial court is so corrupt that it is no longer able to organize a strong army," Guo Shijun said busily: "The subordinates are not worried about the emperor himself, but ......"
Li Zicheng personally served Guo Shijun tea and said: "If Shijun has anything to say, just say it, between you and me, what else can't you say?" β
Guo Shijun understood Li Zicheng's thoughts, today's meeting, even He Xiaomi was not present, obviously he was about to speak from the bottom of his heart, he arched his hands and said: "The concern of his subordinates is whether the Dadu Governor's Mansion is fully prepared......
Li Zicheng nodded, about the future of Huaxia, he has already communicated and discussed with Guo Shijun, and there is no need to hide between each other, "While there is no old foolishness now, we will use the form of law to determine the system!" β
"Most of the governors are heavy," Guo Shijun shook his body and said: "The subordinates don't mean this, but refer to the candidates!" β
"I'll talk about the selection later," Li Zicheng asked Guo Shijun to sit down again, no need to be formal, "As long as the state institutions are established, it is not difficult to select people, it is nothing more than to sit in the right seat!" β
"The Governor already has a plan in mind?"
"These days, I have been thinking about this matter, just waiting for Shijun to come back and agree," Li Zicheng said: "The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty is just the emperor's mouthpiece, and it has been doing clerical work, and it must be abolished!" β
"The Metropolitan Governor wants to restore the Prime Minister?"
"Whether it is called prime minister, prime minister, or prime minister, it seems to be the same, it is nothing more than a difference in title," Li Zicheng said: "It's better to call the prime minister of the Government Council, it seems to be more in line with the modern trend," paused, and said: "I always feel that there is something wrong with the 'separation of powers'." β
"Governor of the capital, please speak clearly!"
"The separation of powers among the executive, judicial, and supervision, among which the power of the supervisory agency is too small, and it is difficult to play a real supervisory role," Li Zicheng said. β
"Governor, never!" Guo Shijun understood Li Zicheng's thoughts, which was nothing more than to improve the status of the soldiers, so that he could conquer various places and expand his territory in the future, and said urgently: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, the king was strong, and maybe there would be no problem, but after a long time, it will be difficult for the military department to supervise, and sooner or later a situation will be formed in which a dominant family will be formed, and even the military generals will have dictatorship...... Don't let the military department override the other ministries! β
Li Zicheng bowed slightly, the teacher's historical experience is rich, soldiers are different from civilian officials, only the army is nationalized, do not participate in political activities, in order to ensure the stability of the country, the Ming Dynasty implemented "civil control of force", is not unreasonable.
In other words, if the civilian officials cause a rebellion, as long as the military does not participate, in fact, it only needs to change the country's major policies and change the prime minister, and the division is only in the court, and it will not cause civil strife!
Military civil strife and armed conflict will cause great damage to the country, just like the current change of dynasties, if there is a choice, the military should stay away from politics.
Guo Shijun saw that Li Zicheng had adopted his own suggestion, and said: "Governor, there is one more thing, that is, how to limit the power of the prime minister and prevent threats to the imperial power!" β
Li Zicheng knew that along the way, Guo Shijun probably also thought about a lot of questions, so he smiled and said: "I don't know what good way Shijun has?" β
"There are four ways to limit the power of the prime minister," Guo Shijun said: "First, strengthen the separation of powers to prevent the prime minister's family from becoming dominant; the second is to determine the term of office, and the prime minister cannot be for life; Third, the emperor appoints the prime minister and ministers, so that they can supervise each other and prevent the formation of interest groups; Fourth, strengthen the supervision of the prime minister himself, including the establishment of institutions similar to Jinyiwei. β
"Jinyiwei is exempted, but a supervisory agency can be set up, and there is only the right to investigate and collect evidence, but not a private torture hall," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Supervising the prime minister is actually the best protection for the country and the prime minister himself!" β
Guo Shijun nodded and said: "The composition of state institutions is still in the exploration stage, and in the specific governance process, if problems are found, they must be constantly corrected and finally improved!" β
"There is no one-size-fits-all system in the world," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "All systems are for the country and the nation, and can promote the development of the country and the nation. β
"Yes, there is no one-size-fits-all system!" Guo Shijun muttered to himself, as if he was thinking about something.
Li Zicheng suddenly smiled and said: "Shijun, you should be responsible for the position of prime minister, right?" β
Guo Shijun hurriedly waved his hand, "Metropolitan Governor, don't do it!" β
"Why?" Li Zicheng frowned lightly and said, "Has Shijun forgotten the historical mission he should shoulder?" β
"Just because he didn't forget, his subordinates couldn't serve as prime minister," Guo Shijun arched his hand: "My subordinates were not the first to join the Heavenly Mandate Army, and they have no prestige in the army, so it is really difficult to convince ......the public."
Li Zicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, why didn't he understand Guo Shijun's thoughts? Guo Shijun also comes from later generations, once he grasps the "relative power", it is very likely to threaten the "imperial power", and once the two powers conflict, the country will fall into turmoil......
There are no two days, there are no two masters of the country, and two strong people are in charge of the most important departments of the country, which is really not the luck of the country and the nation!
He sighed leisurely: "Shijun, is this to avoid suspicion? β
"The Metropolitan Governor, his subordinates were originally born by education, if the Metropolitan Governor is sympathetic to his subordinates, let his subordinates return to their profession, and give full play to their strengths, the subordinates are already grateful," Guo Shijun arched his hand and said: "This may be the greatest contribution that subordinates can make to the new dynasty!" β
Li Zicheng was silent for a long time, and he didn't act coyly, Guo Shijun thought well, once there was a conflict between the imperial power and the prime minister's power, Huaxia was very likely to lose an opportunity to modernize.
Although the possibility is not too great, he still has to take precautions!
It's okay, since Guo Shijun is willing to engage in education, let's promote new education, this kind of thing, except for Guo Shijun, others may not be able to do it, "In this case, Shijun will be the Minister of Education of the new dynasty!" β
"It's the Minister of Education, and his subordinates are also trembling......"
"Shijun, the promotion of new education is really inseparable from you," Li Zicheng didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he said: "Shijun thinks, who should be the prime minister?" β
"Is there a suitable candidate in the heart of the Grand Governor?"
"The best candidate is Shijun," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "There are two alternative characters, Niu Jinxing and Liang Wencheng, the difference between these two personalities, qualifications, and talents is clear at a glance, and Shijun should be familiar with them!" β
Guo Shijun's heart moved, the meaning of the metropolitan governor, the first choice should be Niu Jinxing, Niu Jinxing is not only lacking in energy, but his ability is indeed far better than Liang Wencheng.
However, this is precisely Niu Jinxing's disadvantage, the new dynasty is established, the new monarch is strong, and there is no need for a particularly outstanding prime minister, Niu Jinxing is too capable, as a strategist and military, it is not bad, and he must not be allowed to grasp the "power" in his hands.
However, Liang Wencheng, although his talent may not be as good as Niu Jinxing, he has followed the Metropolitan Governor since Xining, there is no problem with his qualifications, and he is loyal to the Metropolitan Governor, which is his advantage.
Guo Shijun thought for a long time and said: "Metropolitan Governor, according to his subordinates, Liang Wencheng is more suitable for the post of prime minister, and Liang Wencheng is older, and after five years, according to his physical condition, it will be decided whether he will stay in office!" β
Li Zicheng nodded, as the prime minister in the transition period, Liang Wencheng is indeed the best candidate, Liang Wencheng has been working hard, conscientious, day and night, loyalty can be shown to the sun and the moon, let him serve as the prime minister, is the greatest reward for Liang Wencheng's loyalty over the years.
Liang Wencheng has always served as a civil official of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Office, from the Beichuan Governor to the Xining Governor, to the Qinghai Governor, and now to the civil envoy, the people who have come up from the grassroots level have a better understanding of the people's suffering.
There is also the biggest advantage of letting Liang Wencheng become the premier, that is, Liang Wencheng is a relatively old adult, and he will be re-elected for a maximum of two consecutive terms with a term of five years, so that from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the lifelong system of the prime minister can be broken, which is conducive to restricting the "relative power".
Now that Liang Wencheng has assumed the post of premier, the candidates for the president of the State Court and the President of the Supervision Yuan should be suitable for him, Li Zicheng thought about it for a while, and already had candidates in his mind: Lu Zhiqi, president of the State Court, and Shen Dao, president of the State Supervision Yuan.
Lu Zhiqi was originally the political envoy of Zuobu in Shaanxi, a typical civil official, as long as he was familiar with the laws of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Office, he did not need to put his efforts on the prime minister and officials of various ministries for the time being, but seized the time to establish and improve the provincial courts.
Shen Dao was born as a military attachΓ©, and it may be difficult for him to take up the post of president of the Supervision Yuan, but his task now is not to supervise officials, but to set up the Supervision Yuan of each province as soon as possible, and then establish and improve the Supervision Yuan in the prefectures and counties.
In addition to the separation of powers of the governor, the court, and the Supervision Yuan, according to the "Sichuan model", the "eight departments" below the provincial governor should be set up to exercise civil power.
The candidate for the head of the eight ministers, Li Zicheng is also brewing in his heart!
Li Zicheng and Guo Shijun discussed for nearly two hours, until after dark, in his heart, he already had a rough outline of the new Huaxia, and the only thing that was uncertain was the imperial power.
After Guo Shijun said goodbye and left, Li Zicheng leaned on the wooden chair alone, thought about everything again, and then went back to dinner.
