Chapter 14: The First Decree
After a while, the queen finally knew who Lu Xun was.
It turned out that in addition to "Journey to the West", this person also wrote "Dream of Red Mansions", "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", "One Thousand and One Nights", etc., and got Yang Mu's promise, and these stories will be told to her one by one in the future.
Speaking of this "One Thousand and One Nights", according to legend, a king was cruel and jealous, married a girl every day, and killed it the next morning, until the thousandth woman, she used the method of telling stories to attract the king, and every night to tell the most wonderful place, the day just dawned, so that the king could not bear to kill, and allowed her to continue to tell the next night, until the thousand and one nights, the king was finally moved, and grew old with her.
Yang Mu thought to himself, how can this story be a bit similar to his own experience, it may be recorded in the history books of later generations that in ancient times, there was an emperor of Cangguo who was afraid of his wife, so he had to make compromises and tell stories to the queen every day, until the one thousand and one nights, and finally moved the queen, and they hated to see each other from then on...... Becoming a brother and sister?
Of course, this is just Yang Mu's conjecture, after successfully leading the queen onto the thief ship, he returned to the origin of the problem and asked the queen to tell her own story.
Who knows, the queen's face was cold and silent.
Yang Mu is helpless, is this trying to repay the debt? Just now, my mouth was dry, and I talked about it in vain?
He brewed his emotions, carefully pondered the words, and was about to make a strong and safe denunciation, but he saw the queen suddenly turn her face sideways, and a pair of beautiful eyes like electricity stopped on his face.
Yo, it seems that I was impressed by my talent and was ready to confess.
"Does the Holy Maiden know?" The queen said suddenly.
Yang Mu was stunned for a moment, searching for memories in his mind, and then shook his head.
"I don't even know about the Holy Virgin Mountain, but I deserve to listen to my story?"
Yang Mu: "......"
There may be no way to talk about this day, Yang Mu finally knows that the woman in front of her looks like an arrogant fairy on the surface, but in fact, she may be a woman who doesn't understand the world and rarely communicates with people, after all, this is too bad at communicating with people, and you can talk to death in two sentences, have you ever seen it?
So, before preparing to leave, Yang Mu asked the most doubtful question: "You...... It must have been robbed on purpose, right? β
The queen nodded.
Yang Mu was stunned, admitting it so simply? It's okay to cover it up a little, this really hurts people's self-esteem, only people who are as stupid as pigs can see the beauty can't take their eyes off, and invite a dominatrix back, and canonize the queen with a fart, and be complacent when she is played.
"If you stare at me again, believe it or not, gouge out your eyes?" The queen said coldly.
"Hehe, don't be angry, don't be angry, man, it's normal to see a beautiful woman who can't take your eyes off, you can only blame you for being too good-looking." Yang Mu smiled dryly, and asked carefully: "I guess, you should not be chased and killed by the enemy, and then deliberately snatched back by me to avoid the disaster, right?" β
"That's right." The queen's answer was clean and unmischievous.
Yang Mu scolded in his heart, the original owner of this body, are you a pig? was unlucky and sad, not only was he put on a set, but he was also secretly injured and occupied by others.
However, this is only an objective factor, even if there is no queen who has been robbed, Zheng Kang's army in the north will go south, and the country will still die, and the emperor will still die, so it is better to cheapen himself.
How to describe it, there is a tigress at home, sniffing roses?
In the end, Yang Mu was frustrated and found that maybe he was really not qualified, no matter how much he seduced and asked questions, the queen refused to reveal half a point.
Helplessly, after staying in Yuling Palace for a while, he had no choice but to leave, and then instructed Ji Ling'er to find a few sets of well-fitting clothes and send them over, and let her live a simple life.
It's just a pity that such a large piece of delicious swan meat flew to the mouth.
Early in the morning of the second day, a group of courtiers came to the Zichen Palace, where the monarchs and ministers discussed the new official position and lord system, and began to implement the three major decrees.
Yang Mu's twelve-ministry system is very simple, that is, it is modeled on the three provinces and six ministries in the Sui and Tang dynasties, setting up six departments: the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Industry, and then adding the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Medicine, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Supervision.
However, three of the provinces were directly omitted.
Because the emergence of the system of three provinces and six ministries, in fact, is the result of the erosion of the imperial power, which is equivalent to dividing the power into three parts, the original establishment of twelve departments, the rights of the gate valve families have been weakened, if the left and right prime ministers are abolished, then it will inevitably cause a strong counterattack, and the gains outweigh the losses.
On the other hand, from a historical point of view, in fact, the three provinces also have great limitations. Zhongshu Province is the decision-making department, formulates various decrees, and after obtaining the approval of the emperor, it is then forwarded to Menxia Province for review, and if passed, it is then handed over to Shangshu Province for distribution and handed over to the six ministries for implementation.
It can be seen from this that Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province play a decisive role in the decree, when formulating policies, the emperor often only convenes the governors of Zhongshu and Menxia provinces to discuss together, the governors of these two provinces are regarded as the real prime ministers, and the current system of left and right prime ministers in Cangguo is not much different, rather than drastically changing a situation, it is better to follow the existing system.
To Yang Mu's surprise, after this official position system was determined, it also received a batch of applause.
For example, Fan Hongji, the right prime minister, pondered for a while on the spot, shouted wonderfully and nodded.
"Why is the right phase like this?" Yang Mu was surprised and asked.
"Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister for his gaffe, this system is too exquisite." Fan Hongji stroked his beard and exclaimed: "At present, there are many official positions in my Cangguo, and the responsibilities of various officials are not clear, and they often pass the buck to each other. This system has a clear division of labor, which can just sort out the responsibilities of each minister and put them under the jurisdiction of one department, so as to increase the efficiency of the government. β
Yang Mu nodded, secretly happy in his heart, it seems that there are still people who understand in the court, in fact, this is also one of the backgrounds of the birth of the six parts in history.
"But...... The old minister had a doubt, and asked His Majesty for advice. Fan Hongji thought about it and frowned again.
"Please say the right minister."
"The first six departments can indeed cover state affairs, but what is the meaning of the six double-word departments in the back, the old minister is puzzled."
As soon as the right minister's words came out, they immediately attracted the echo of other officials, and in fact, many people were very puzzled by this, thinking that it was completely unnecessary.
Yang Mu knew very well in his heart that the six departments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Medicine, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Supervision really did not see much use for the current Cangguo, but Yang Mu, who was familiar with the history of human development, knew that the establishment of these departments was very necessary for Cangguo, and it would definitely shine in the future.
However, it is not enough for him to think that it is necessary, and it must be accepted by everyone.
Yang Mu pondered for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes wide and pointed at himself, with a serious expression: "Zhongqing, you see, is my spirit not very good?" And dark circles under your eyes, looking like you haven't woken up? β
"Your Majesty works hard for state affairs, the blessing of the country, and the happiness of the community!" The ministers were puzzled in their hearts, and they didn't know what was wrong with Your Majesty.
Yang Mu waved his hand and said, "No, I have rested well in the past two days, but last night, the old fairy gave me a dream again!" β
Dreaming?
Dream again?
The ministers immediately cheered up, after the last time, they had completely believed in the statement of the immortal dream, what kind of Chinese ancestor, the Yellow Emperor, was definitely a real immortal!
"Actually, I am also very confused, but the Yellow Emperor said that none of the twelve departments can be missing, and it must be the pillar of the country in the future, but considering the current situation, only six single words are needed at present, and the remaining double words and six parts are not set up for the time being, and they will be put on the agenda when needed in the future and discussed with you."
Consulting?
The ministers were relieved, and what they were most worried about was that the emperor would make these strange official positions and insert a large number of people to empty the door valve of the family, since they would discuss it together in the future, it would be better.
Immediately, Fan Hongji, the right prime minister, drafted the first decree, stipulating that all the original official positions should be abolished, and according to the talents of the ministers, they would be remixed into six departments, and each ministry would have a Shangshu and a left and right attendants.
Among them, the Ministry of Officials is responsible for the appointment, dismissal, evaluation, promotion, transfer, and assignment of civil officials across the country; The household department is responsible for the national household registration management, taxation, money and other financial matters; The Ministry of Rites is responsible for ceremonies, sacrifices, and government announcements; The Ministry of War is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of military attachΓ©s nationwide, the issuance of military orders for recruitment, weapons, logistics, and other matters; The Criminal Department is responsible for the operation of the national judiciary and the promulgation of laws and regulations, and can directly hear major and important cases; The Ministry of Engineering is responsible for various projects, craftsmen, tuntian, water conservancy, transportation and other matters.
At the same time, in every city in the country, there are three positions: county commander, county commander, and county lieutenant, among the three, the county commander is the head, and they are all imperial court officials, whose responsibilities are to preside over the government, assist the county order, and lead the soldiers and horses of a county. In imitation of the imperial court, there are six offices, such as officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, which are called six rooms, and the clerks are called officials, and they are also appointed and dismissed by the imperial court.
