Chapter 584: The Scholars Come to the Dynasty (1)
560.
Five nonsense?
In the palace of the King of Jin, all the ministers felt that the words of Hao Meng, the king of Jin, seemed to be a bit unfounded.
Who doesn't know, the 400-year-old Tianwei of the Great Han Dynasty, the surrounding alien races prayed that the Han Empire would not harm them, how could they have the courage to enter the Central Plains?
Is there really that kind of alien race that can't be thought of, the Han Empire? Well, now it's the army of King Jin, and you can teach those aliens to be human beings in minutes.
Hao Meng naturally couldn't say bluntly to the ministers that after more than 100 years of war in the Central Plains, the population of the Han nation had withered to what point. It was precisely because of that opportunity that the surrounding alien races dared to invade the Central Plains.
This is a historical record of later generations, and at this time it did not conform to the national conditions of the Han Empire.
However, Hao Meng did not forget that there are nearly two million Xianbei people on the Xianbei grassland!
Moreover, the rebellion between Han and Ma in Xiliang seems to have an active figure of Zhuhu in the Western Regions.
In this case, as a traverser, how could Hao Meng sit idly by?
It's just that right now, Hao Meng just mentions it, when Xiliang is recovered in the coming day, these proud soldiers and fierce generals will know how far the alien races around the Central Plains have grown!
……
After the reprimand of arrogance and rashness, the next thing is to reward.
Throughout the ages, the first thing the emperor did after ascending the throne was to reward his ministers. As for the amnesty for prisoners in the world, etc., that has to be put to the next step.
"Mrs. Feng Cai Wenji is the princess of Jin!"
Immediately, a maid held the canonized documents and went to the harem.
This is the proper meaning of Hao Meng's entry into the knighthood.
Hao Mengjin is the king of Jin, and the first person who needs to be enthroned is a member of the harem.
Hao Meng's harem, at this time, there was only his wife Cai Wenji, and she deserved to be the main owner of the harem. If Hao Meng still has three wives and four concubines, he will have to be canonized as a side concubine or something at this time.
Of course, if Hao Meng's heirs had already been born, they should have been canonized at this time.
It's a pity that Sister Cai has been pregnant for ten months, and she doesn't know what day she will give birth.
In fact, a pregnant woman can give birth at about eight months; There are very few people who are ten months pregnant, but they are not nothing. Throughout the ages, it is not uncommon for a baby to be born after 12 months of pregnancy.
Of course, like Nezha, it took three years and six months to be born, and that is not a human being at all!
……
canonized the harem, and the main drama is to reward the ministers.
However, Hao Meng was only on the throne at this time, but it was not very suitable for him to be knighted and his ministers. If at this time, the ministers under his command will be made marquis, earls or something, how will he be rewarded after Hao Meng really sits on the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future?
Crowned princes with different surnames?
If there is a day, Hao Meng will definitely not do it.
If so, there is nothing to seal, and there is no reward, it is estimated that it is the time when the love of the monarch and the minister is exhausted.
At that time, no matter how good the foundation was, it was estimated that they would have to draw their swords against each other.
At this time, it is not feasible to be knighted on a large scale, but it is still feasible to be promoted.
"The Jin Kingdom is newly established, and the official position of the royal court should be different from that of the Han Dynasty." Hao Meng said.
This is the case with the so-called nation-building system.
Hao Meng has now established the kingdom of the Jin Kingdom, so naturally there should be a set of systems for the Jin Kingdom.
Historically, many newly established dynasties have followed the system of the old dynasties.
For example, the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, the Tang Dynasty followed the Sui system, and so on.
This kind of system, which follows the old dynasty, cannot be said to be bad.
After all, it's better to follow the system of the old dynasty than to grope for a new system by a blind man, isn't it?
It's just that Hao Meng has a "vague memory" of 5,000 years in his mind, and he knows that a slightly better set of court systems that adapt to the current society, why should he follow the old system of the Han Empire?
……
"Lonely, the court of the Jin Dynasty should be set up as six departments: the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry." Hao Meng said.
As soon as the words fell, some of the officials below lowered their heads and answered: "Isn't this the old system of the Zhou Dynasty?" ”
The central administrative body of the imperial court was divided into six departments, which were really established during the Zhou Dynasty.
It was only by the time of the Qin and Han dynasties that the functions of the six ministries were mastered by the so-called three princes and nine secretaries. Although the six ministries were restored during the Sui and Tang dynasties, they were not the highest level of administrative institutions, but were divided into Shangshu Province, one of the three provinces.
Until the Ming Dynasty, the Six Ministries were the highest level of administrative body, directly responsible to the emperor.
And this is exactly what Hao Mengmeng wants.
"The Ministry of Rites is mainly in charge of: all kinds of ceremonial sacrifices, educating the people, selecting talents, and receiving with other countries. In addition, the casting seal is also under the control of the Ministry of Rites. ”
Ritual sacrifices, educating the people, selecting talents, etc., this is the main function of the Ministry of Rites from the beginning.
In particular, in the era when there was no imperial examination, the selection of talents depended entirely on the recommendation of the Ministry of Rites. Of course, although many people are recommended by nepotism, it cannot be denied that the recommendation system was still quite good in the Qin and Han dynasties and before.
At the very least, if the person being recommended does not have real talent and learning, there must be a level of the ministry, right?
In the entire 400 years of the Han Dynasty, there are also people who have been recommended for filial piety, but have not been awarded official positions!
Many of the grassroots officials under Hao Meng's command were actually recommended or self-recommended. It's just that before they went to work, Hao Meng also had them assessed.
This is the predecessor of the imperial examination system that Hao Meng intends to implement in the future.
"The chief official of the Ministry of Rites is Shangshu, and there are two adjutants, who are divided into left and right attendants."
"The Ministry of Rites is the secretary of the country, Cai Yong, and he is given a purple service chapter. The left waiter is Kong Rong, and the right waiter is Tao Qian, giving the red service Huazhang. ”
As the attendants read out the edict, Cai Yong, Tao Qian and Kong Rong came out in time to receive the edict.
……
Kong Rong and Tao Qian were both former princes, and they were both forced to surrender by Hao Meng.
Earlier, in order to stabilize the situation, Hao Meng could only send both of them to Qingzhou. Although their official position is a county guard, what they do is to preside over the work of reclamation.
At this time, the general trend of the world has been decided, and Hao Meng is not afraid that they will have two hearts anymore. What's more, now they are only the deputies of the Ministry of Rites, and there is a famous Confucian on them who is pressing there!
So, before entering the king of Jin, Hao Meng transferred them back to Jinan City.
The main thing is that these two people may not be able to be officials and princes, but they still don't say anything about learning.
Those functions of the Ministry of Rites, with these academic hosts, there will not be much of a problem.
"Under the Ministry of Rites, it is divided into five divisions: the Rite Division, the Enlightenment Division, the Election Division, the Diplomacy Division, and the Casting and Sealing Division."
Then, another attendant read out the candidates for the chief officials of the five divisions.
Cai Yong, Tao Qian, and Mi Zhu, after all, are the chief officials, and they don't have so much energy to do things themselves. With these five divisions, there will be a special person in charge of specific matters. And the old man and the man, they only need to bear the general rule.
