Shang Shutai, headed by Shang Shu Ling, assisted by Shang Shu Servant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

During the Qin and Han dynasties, Shangshutai was under the command of Shaofu, one of the nine Qings, but it was a subordinate agency, in charge of sending and receiving and keeping documents, and there were only six or seven people at first.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the status of Shangshutai was gradually improved, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, six Cao Shangshu were formed, which were called "eight" together with Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Servants.

Under the eight seats, there are more than 30 Shangshu servants and about 20 Lingshi.

After the rise of Shangshutai, the authority is sometimes large, sometimes small, after the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms period, the north and south are all affected by the family Jiuqing, and have to find another way, often one country has a move, and other countries immediately follow suit.

As a result, the independence of Shangshutai from the Shaofu became one of them.

With the expansion of Shangshutai's functions, it has gradually become a government affairs center, and the number of government personnel in it has also increased, increasing the number of positions and numbers, so the strength has expanded rapidly.

However, Shangshutai is also divided, such as the Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, even if it is separated from Shangshutai.

This whole process, in fact, is a kind of iterative change of the official system, is the process of Jiuqing's authority to the transformation of Cao Shangshu, the whole process, in addition to the promotion and expansion of authority, the continuous expansion of the scope of management, but also accompanied by the adjustment and gradual improvement of internal authority and structure.

It can be said that mastering the Shangshutai, the control of the entire dynasty, can reach a very high level, similar to the prime minister, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Shangshuling is in the court meeting with the Si Li school captain, the imperial history of the same special seat sitting, called the "three single seats", it can be seen.

Nowadays, this Shangshu Ling also has three qualities, rank thousand stones, crown Jinxian two Liang Na Yan Wei, five o'clock court clothes, wear water jade, copper seal ink ribbon, and the position is on the right side, and the order is worshipped.

In terms of specifications, the status of this former governor of the subordinate institutions of the Shaofu is already equivalent to that of Jiuqing, and his rank is the same, and in terms of position and actual authority, he was already the de facto supreme political official in the later period of the Three Kingdoms.

However, the Shangshu Orders of the New Han Dynasty often had constraints, which was to show the autocracy of the Shangshu Orders at the same time as the authority of the Shangshutai was expanded, so there was often a seat to record the Shangshu Orders above the Shangshu Order.

Strictly speaking, this record of Shangshutai is not actually an official position of Shangshutai, but is given to officials other than Shangshutai to represent the emperor's general Shangshutai affairs, which is a kind of part-time job, often concurrently held by outsiders.

Today's record of Shang Shushi, naturally the power of the Guanghan King Liu out, there is such a Taishang chief, the days of Shang Shuling can also be imagined, but even so, this is still a hot position, the authority is restricted, it is only relative, in general, it is still the authority to the sky, if the foundation is stable, even the Guanghan King who recorded the Shang Shushi, also has to be a little scruples, after all, the prince still has to grasp the military power, can not run the Shangshutai wholeheartedly.

"Therefore, since the beginning of the East China Sea King, the Shangshu Order has changed, there is almost no fixed person, and even there is a time when there is no vacancy, now I am the Shangshu Order, I should first avoid the edge of the King of Guanghan, follow his will, first stabilize his position, and wait for the Shangshu Tai to be concentric, all know my majesty, and then figure others, and then the King of Guanghan can also be calmly opposite."

In the Zhang Mansion, Zhang Ying, the contemporary authority backbone of the Zhang family, was talking with his confidant Wang Bu, and the news about appointing him as Shang Shuling had been transmitted to the mansion and was really settled, that is, in the past few days.

After planning for so long, it can be said that the dust has settled, and it is time for the helm of this family to breathe a sigh of relief for a while, but he also knows that there are still things to come, so he often recruits people to come over these days to give orders about internal and external affairs.

Wang Bu smiled and said, "Isn't that what the benefactor did?" Since the false Shangshu Order, everything has been consulted by the King of Guanghan before making a ruling, if the King of Guanghan is dissatisfied with something, it will be abolished immediately and reformulated. ”

This should be a fake Shangshu order before, this is not to say that he became a fake Shangshu official, but refers to the temporary, temporary acting, generally speaking, fake a position, is the precursor to the real promotion.

Sure enough, his humility finally impressed the king of Guanghan, and made the prince of the real power decide that Zhang Ying was sincere and trustworthy, so he would rest assured that he would be corrected, instead of being replaced like the previous few fake Shangshu orders.

"Expedient measures, they are all expedient measures, such an encounter, in fact, is not conducive to majesty, but majesty must always be raised after it is really stable, my Zhang family has been suppressed for a long time, if you don't act like this, how can you rise again?" Zhang Ying shook his head helplessly, "Actually, it is also the previous Shangshu Order, which is changed too frequently, which will inevitably make political affairs unstable, and also make the family dissatisfied, so I happened to meet it." ”

Wang Bu said: "However, the benefactor is now in the position, and he can slowly draw it in the future, the king of Guanghan seems to be gentle, but in fact, he is stubborn and self-serving, he raises a bunch of ministers, but it is only used to show that he can recruit talents, but he will not be able to take advice, I think it is not a long-term appearance, maybe ......"

"Hugh said so," Zhang Ying waved his hand and lowered his voice, "Be careful that the wall has ears." ”

Wang Bu was clear, so the topic changed: "Now that the benefactor has taken the throne, many things that were difficult to plan and put down in the past can be put back on the agenda." ”

Zhang Ying nodded and said: "Yes, I am about to stand up, there is nothing more awe-inspiring than what I couldn't do in the past, and now I can do it easily, what do you think." ”

Wang Bu said: "There are three things that can be done now. ”

"What three things, tell me."

Wang Bu stretched out a finger and said: "First, half a year ago, Jiangzuo's Zhou family invaded Zhang's land, and falsely accused the children of the Zhang family of being a disaster in the township. ”

"Wang Sheng, you are trying to test me, how can I only have this bit of mind?" After Zhang Ying heard it, he laughed, and finally shook his head and said: "This is a family matter, how can it be leveled with a public weapon?" If it is for this, others will not respect me and fear me, but will laugh at me for private use, abuse of authority, or just fight for power for juniors, if you want to suppress the Zhou family, there is no need for such means, now Shu is in chaos, Li Thief rebelled, there is a Zhou family will be stationed in Hanzhong, just transfer, where is the need for much trouble. ”

Wang Bu immediately made an attitude of admitting his mistake: "The benefactor is wise, and the children of the family are arguing, but it is a trivial matter, and suppressing the surname Zhou is a big matter, and it is the subordinates who are short-sighted and have found the wrong direction." ”

Zhang Ying shook his head, and then said, "Don't use these words to say more, let's talk about the second thing." ”

Wang Bu nodded, stretched out his second finger, and said: "The court and the Xiongnu agreed, the two sides made peace without fighting, and then co-opted several of the Xiongnu, and contacted the Tiefu Xiongnu, and promised with that Tuoba Xianbei, in order to divide and suppress the Xiongnu, but that Liu Cong is really capable, plus Liu Yao helped, half a year, the two most powerful kings before that, one was forced to rebel, was broken by Liu Yao, fled in a hurry, and the other was weakened a lot, and there is no threat at the moment. Why don't you rule the frontier and defeat the king? ”

Zhang Ying also frowned when he heard this: "Although the previous policy of the imperial court was good, it was difficult to implement it due to the disputes of various families, which gave the Xiongnu a chance to unify, and the instability of Shu and the south, so they had to be distracted by other things, but now it is a little difficult." ”

Wang Bu listened to the words of his master, and couldn't help but look sideways, because he knew very well that the so-called disputes between the various families were actually uneven in the division of interests, and the Zhang family also played a disgraceful role in it.

If you look at it from the perspective of later generations and bystanders, the new Han Dynasty did not return to attack after the defeat, and then agreed to provoke division but failed to implement it, and finally let the Xiongnu re-consolidate the national situation.

A large unified empire can deal with a small country in a corner of the frontier in such a way, and if a person is in power, it can be better than this.

But the problem is that there are many such examples in history, as if they were clear to the Later Jin, and even those who destroyed the enemy country, but were destroyed by its restoration, such as Wu Yue's love and killing.

Even, in the original history, it was during this period of time that a great dynasty collapsed, and then between the countries, such a situation was repeatedly staged, Zhao and Yan, Qin and Jin, and so on.

In the end, it is because the country is big, but it is not a single person.

If it is only one person, then the will will be implemented, and if you say that you will beat you, you will admit it, but since it is a country, it is countless people, countless people form countless families, and several families constitute a force, each force has different pursuits, and the goals of each other may be far from each other, so they cancel each other out, so that a big empire will stand still.

I can't do anything, but I can do bad.

So, one monk carried water to drink, two monks carried and drank, and three monks had no water to drink.

Not to mention, around this empire, there are all kinds of side drums, there is something going on here today, there will be a prisoner tomorrow, and there are still people within this empire who are up and down.

In this case, the internal forces are not stable, one side is the other, maybe today this one is in power, tomorrow that one will take its place, otherwise how can Zhang Ying sit in the position of Shang Shuling.

Therefore, the previous policy was issued, and before it was time to implement it, the situation changed, and it is normal.

Zhang Ying was certainly worried about the comfort of Northern Xinjiang, but what he asked for was not this.

"Liwei is elected, the Huns may be a big disaster, may not be able to succeed, if not, it will damage the prestige, I will not take it."

Hearing the lord's words, Wang Bu immediately understood, knowing what kind of majesty the lord's family needed, so he took a deep breath, stretched out his third finger, and said with a smile: "I heard that among the hundred tea shops today, someone talked about Huang Si a hundred years ago......
