Chapter Eighty-Four: The Law Remains the Same VS The Law Changes with Time (2)

Whether it is Shangshu's left servant, or the subordinate Zuo Taifu, or the general of Xingshen, they all hold part of the power that once belonged to the prime minister. In other words, the official position of prime minister was split into three officials.

Such a system sounds like it weakens the power of the prime minister, who was originally under one person and above ten thousand people, and also solves the contradiction between some of the prime minister's power and the imperial power.

But it also brought several drawbacks, which were not much of a show at the beginning of the establishment of the three-province system, but with the passage of time, they have gradually appeared in front of the world.

The biggest drawback and consequence of this is party strife. In other words, since the establishment of the three-province system, party strife has also been born.

The officials of the three provinces, all of them are one party, forming a party for personal gain, forming a gang and forming a faction, which has already made the atmosphere in the court a miasma.

Therefore, in view of this, some officials who do not participate in party disputes have put forward the idea of reforming the bureaucratic system. Among them, Changyang Hou Yu Shifan is the representative. He advocated abolishing the three-province system and setting up a body composed of several or dozens of people to jointly decide certain matters.

Yu Shifan's proposition actually experimented with strengthening the imperial power.

However, the supreme governors of the three provinces all represent the families to which they belong, and behind them, there is a family that is rich and rivals. The interests of the family are paramount, and in their eyes, the interests of the state can be dispensed with, but they must protect their own family interests. Therefore, when Yu Shifan proposed to change the law, he was immediately persecuted, and the change was delayed again and again, and even almost overthrown.

All these things, the top of the list of the county school born in the Furong Building, are naturally known. Some people think that the three-province system should be retained, and they will stand on the side that represents that interest; And some people support Yu Shifan's change of law, so they will naturally stand on this side.

That's why there is such a theme of tongue warfare at the Heroes meeting.

Gongsun Yan's loud shout, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, and then in the Furong Building, thunderous applause broke out.

"Gongsun Gongzi said it so well! What is the law of the ancestors can be said to throw up a big question. If Ling Zhi and the others answered, then it would be enough. If Ling Zhi can't answer, I'm afraid this meeting will end here. ”

Qin Yi sat in his place, listening to Gongsun Yan's words, he couldn't help but appreciate, and at the same time he was worried about Ling Zhi's team.

Gongsun Yan's words can be said to be the root of this war of words. What kind of law is changed? Restructuring, what kind of system is being changed?

Obviously, as Gongsun Yan said, the law-changing figures represented by Changyang Hou Yu Shifan want to become the law of the ancestors in Gongsun Yan's mouth; And the change is naturally the corresponding official system.

"Hmph, Gongsun Gongzi, pay attention to your words? Emperor Xuanzongwu was not the founding ancestor of Great Xia! Ling Zhi seemed to think of something, so he stepped forward and replied next, "Emperor Xuanzongwu can only be said to be Zhongxing Daxia, not the ancestor of the founding of the country!" ”

"Since it is not the founding ancestor of Great Xia, then there is no so-called ancestral law. If there is, it should have been founded by Emperor Taizu, but the prime minister system he founded back then had already been abandoned during the time of Emperor Xuanzongwu. From this point of view, what Emperor Xuanzongwu did back then had already changed the law of the ancestors, so there was no need to worry about it at all. Therefore, the future generations only need to do what is prescribed! ”
