Zhongshu Province, Political Affairs Hall.

Eleven prime ministers gathered in the early dynasties.

In the old system, the prime minister often discussed matters in the province under the door, which was called the political hall. In the past, the power of the subordinate province was heavy, and the prime ministers naturally discussed matters in the subordinate province. And the eldest grandson Wuji resigned, and the DPRK and the Central Committee used the Chinese letter to make Li Ji the oldest.

As a result, Li Zhi moved the political hall to Zhongshu Province, which also means that although the emperor canceled Li Ji's title of presiding over the government, he still has the most respect for Li Ji among the prime ministers.

The political hall was changed to the door of the middle book, and the seal of the government was also changed to the seal under the door of the middle book.

The political hall was moved to Zhongshu Province, and the biggest change in the name of Zhongshu was the change of the prime minister taking turns to write the pen, and there were eleven permanent prime ministers under the Zhongshu Gate, all of whom had unified names and added the same Zhongshu Menxia Sanpin, Pingzhang Title, and the servant shooting and Shangshu did not carry the same Zhongshu Menxia Sanpin name, so they could not enter the Zhongshu Menxia meeting and make decisions on military affairs.

All these changes are actually the balance of power with the change of the political situation.

For example, in the early Tang Dynasty, the political affairs hall was located in Shangshu Province, and among the three high-ranking officials, Shangshu Ling had the highest power, and later because Shangshu Ling's power was too heavy, and under the pretext that Li Shimin had done Shangshu Ling, he no longer gave this official to the courtiers, and took the left and right servants as the chief official of Shangshu Province and the head of the prime minister.

At the beginning, the prime minister only had three people, Shangshuling, Zhongshuling, and Shizhong, and later Shangshuling was actually vacant, so it became four people: left and right servants, Shizhong, and Zhongshuling.

At the beginning, there was no political affairs hall as a system of meeting the prime ministers, Li Shimin was not the crown prince, he killed his brother and forced his father to seize the throne before ascending the throne, and his ruling was not stable at the beginning of his reign, at that time there were many factions within the court, and the political situation was naturally complicated.

In order to achieve the purpose of consolidating the throne, he retained the high positions of the old ministers of the Gao Society, added space to Pei Lian, and let Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi and others still keep their posts. On the one hand, he also appointed his cronies Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others to important positions such as Shangshu's right servant, Zhongshu Ling, and waiter to take power.

At the same time, he also used the former prince to build old ministries such as Wei Zheng and Wang Qi as officials to deliberate and advise, and let them serve as Huangmen attendants and counselors, and take advantage of the psychology of those who have lost power to express their sincerity and meritorious service to supervise political affairs and prevent the masses from being blinded.

He also promoted many Shu landlords to alleviate the contradictions of the Shishu at that time.

In order to meet the needs of all aspects, he broke the old routine and added many prime ministers of various titles in addition to the original three high-ranking officials, such as participating in the government and participating in political affairs.

In this way, as the number of prime ministers does not increase slightly, it becomes a matter of course to adopt a collective system.

On the other hand, Li Shimin is widely virtuous and virtuous, and he is more confident in his ability to control the court, so he also dared to create a system of group discussion with many prime ministers.

Although the group system was originally a last resort to reconcile various factions, on the other hand, it did show Li Shimin's superb control ability.

In order to disperse the excessively large power of the prime ministers, Li Shimin vigorously improved the status of Menxia Province and made full use of its deliberation function to balance the distribution of power among the three provinces, so as to achieve a balance of power and let the prime ministers contain each other, especially to change the situation that Shangshu Province was dominated by one province during the Gaozu period.

With the emergence of the name of the provincial governor under the Zhimen, the real power of the prime minister began to gradually flow from the left and right servants to the lower-ranking officials.

The original intention of the establishment of the political hall was to reduce the friction between the three provinces, coordinate the relationship between them, improve work efficiency, and avoid the entanglement between the Chinese book and the two provinces.

In Taizong's later years, the political affairs hall had some centralized and mixed colors of discussion, deliberation and even execution, and the political affairs hall at the time of Li Shimin did not form the full-time nature of the prime minister's assembly and detachment, and it was not separated from the administration.

The appearance of the three products and the titles of Pingzhang under the Tongzhongshu Sect has made the prime minister in the political hall no longer just three high-ranking officials, at this time, those experienced ministers can also be advisers and continue to exert their residual heat. Some low-level officials also have the opportunity to worship each other.

This opened the door for the emperor to balance the power of the prime minister.

Li Zhichu succeeded to the throne, with the uncle of the country, the elder Sun Wuji presided over the government, and at that time the eldest grandson Wuji to the Zhongshu order to know the three provincial affairs, which also made the status of the province of Zhongshu began to improve, although after the eldest grandson Wuji was reappointed as a servant, but the time was very short, Li Ji succeeded to the Zhongshu Sect, he was the prime minister of the highest qualifications, the highest prestige, so Li Zhi further ordered the political hall to move to the Zhongshu Province, so the door of the Zhongshu changed to the Zhongshu Menxia.

It all shows that according to the system, the emperor's edict must be signed by the prime minister of the government hall before it can take effect. Not only that, Li Zhi also canceled the titles of Shangshu Servant Shooting and Tongzhongshu Sect Sanpin and Pingzhang, and actually made Shangshu Servant not interfere in the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall, and the senior officials of Shangshu withdrew from the Political Affairs Hall, and Shangshu Province also became a special executive organ.

The group of ministers under the Zhongshu sect has also formed a special political body, which is the highest state organ for decision-making on military affairs.

In fact, Zhongshu and Menxia Province are already in a state of merger, integrating decision-making and deliberation, and no longer repeating the situation of paying equal attention to the three provinces.

The political hall under the Zhongshu Gate is only a simple political body, and the matters decided in the political hall meeting must be presented to the emperor for review, and the emperor will make the final ruling before the decree can be issued, which is also a restriction on the power of the minister.

In order to balance the imperial power, the implementation of the imperial edict must be accompanied by the prime minister of the government hall, otherwise it will be illegal and recognized as a formal edict.

The edict that has not been signed by the prime minister is called the central decree, and the official who has not been signed by the prime minister is called an oblique seal.

Emperor Li Zhi awarded Li Xiao as the Wuzhen Prefecture Inspector Assassin History, and if he was promoted to the rank of middle doctor, if he was not approved by the prime ministers, it would be obliquely sealed and could not be recognized.

Eleven Prime Ministers.

Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong, and four servants under the Zhongshu Door, and then there are Imperial Historians, and the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Soldiers, the Household Department, and the Secretary Superintendent, all of which are added to the Ping Zhangshi and the three titles of the same Zhongshu Door.

The two servants of Shangshu Province who originally entered the door of Zhongshu were also changed to Zhongshu and Menxia Shilang at this time, and the new servants no longer had the right to participate in the meeting of the political hall, and they were no longer a member of the prime minister.

"That hillbilly Li Xiao has been in a lot of trouble recently, and His Majesty is also very dissatisfied, I think it is a good punishment to demote him to the Samhan Peninsula, what do you think?" Li Ji looked around at the other ten Zai's fellow ministers.

As the prime minister on duty for political affairs, Li Ji presided over the meeting, and he had actually set the nature of the matter at the beginning.
