Chapter 526: The Dust Settles

p

After listening to Wei Shuo's introduction of this new organizational framework, everyone present fell into shock.

The magnitude of this innovation is so great that it can almost be said to have overturned everything and started over.

In addition to being shocked, everyone admired King Yong for coming up with a reasonable structure in a short period of time.

They are all the elites of this era, and they know very well that the formation and determination of any set of political frameworks will take a long time of exploration and accumulation.

For example, the Qin and Han dynasties evolved on the basis of the Zhou law, and it took hundreds of years to take shape.

In the future, the system of three provinces and six ministries, which was popular in the Sui and Tang dynasties, was already in the ascendant as early as the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Like this Hexi reform, King Yong almost single-handedly designed a complete organizational framework.

Although King Yong repeatedly claimed that he had learned from the experience of the Wei and Jin dynasties, everyone had already seen it clearly.

King Yong just borrowed some official titles from the Wei and Jin dynasties, and its essence has long been replaced with something new.

This new set of organizational framework basically continues the idea of separation of powers and checks and balances that Yongwang has always advocated.

Including the civil and military sides, the administrative power and the supervisory power are all under one side, and no one can interfere with the other.

In addition, the political concept of the criminal master and the rule of law has been re-emphasized and vigorously promoted.

"Ahem, the general framework has been introduced, but there is only a little tail left that has not been told, that is, what is the cabinet?"

"Why did Lone set up a cabinet? Its purpose is to deal with all major military affairs quickly and effectively. ”

"It is impossible for us to convene a joint military-political meeting to solve every major incident."

"That's too much trouble."

"The Cabinet is a miniature version of the military-government joint conference, and only a small number of civil and military personnel are eligible to participate, and in the future, all militaristic states will be under the sole responsibility and handling of the Cabinet.

"Even some major matters do not necessarily have to be left alone, so as to avoid the inability to deal with emergencies in time due to human factors."

"In addition, because the cabinet system is dominated by multiple people, there is no need to worry about someone having dictatorship."

The reason why Wei Shuo introduced the cabinet system is that the cabinet embodies the idea of centralization and decentralization.

The reason for saying that power is centralized is that in the future, all major military affairs, no matter how big or small, will be handled by the cabinet.

However, because of the large number of cabinet members, the birth of powerful ministers was avoided, which was a disguised separation of powers.

Sure enough, as soon as Wei Shuo's words came out, there was a commotion at the scene.

Obviously, everyone is aware of the extraordinary status of the cabinet, and it may be the highest authority in Hexi in the future.

Thinking of this, anyone who thinks that he is qualified to enter the cabinet suddenly has a burning heart.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, I wonder if the number of cabinet members is fixed? How many people will there be? ”

"As the saying goes: no rules, no rules! Therefore, there are strict regulations on the conditions and number of people who can enter the cabinet. ”

"But now that the cabinet is newly established, everything is still in the exploration stage, and Lone may adjust the composition of personnel according to the actual situation."

"Let's talk about it, what do you think about this institutional reform?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one took the initiative to speak.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wei Shuo encouraged again: "I hope that a good system will be established today and it will continue forever. ”

"This is planning for the next hundreds of years, and I hope you will seriously consider it and carefully put forward your own opinions."

"His Royal Highness is far-sighted and wants to establish a century-old system, and the minister is very admired, and he will give his full support."

"Thank you for your support."

"The minister and the palace have known each other for many years, and they can rely on the support of His Royal Highness to have today, and they will never abolish the public for personal reasons."

"As a courtier, I have to remind Your Highness that political reform is very important, and there are too many entanglements of interests."

"At this point, even Hexi is not as good as the Southern Dynasties."

"The military and political power of the Southern Dynasties has always been held by the nobles of the family, and the distribution of interests is relatively simple."

"But Hexi is different, His Royal Highness can achieve today's achievements because of the support of all walks of life such as the Hanmen, the naturalized Hulu, and the family."

"The interests of the various classes are entangled with each other, no matter how dissatisfied Your Highness is with this, but it does exist and has a great impact."

"Political reform is bound to cause fierce contention among all parties, but politics itself is a process of compromise and struggle."

"I hope Your Highness will consider it carefully and implement it carefully."

"This is a good word, but please rest assured that the body industry will act cautiously."

……

In the first year of Long An, in September, Wei Shuo ascended to the throne of King Yong, which opened the prelude to political reform.

That is, after the throne, Wei Shuo issued the first edict of King Yong, that is, announcing the abolition of the capital and the general's palace.

Immediately afterwards, he announced the composition of the Cabinet, the three provinces, and the Privy Council through the official newspaper.

Among them, the chief officials of the three provinces and the Privy Council, together a total of eight people have all entered the cabinet, and the specific personnel are Song Xuan, Cui Hao, Liu Muzhi, Wang Zhenwei, Zhang Zhan, Shi Wei, Zong Chang, and Yang Han.

Finally, with the addition of Jiang Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of Internal Security, the first cabinet has a total of nine people.

These nine people represent almost all the forces in Hexi, such as Song Xuan, Zhang Zhan, and Jiang Ji Nailong, who were born in the right family; Liu Muzhi and Zong Chang were greatly supported by the Hanmen forces; Wang Zhenwei is not only a military representative, but also has an in-law relationship with the Guan Long family; Shi Wei and Yang Han are representatives of the veteran meritorious class.

At present, among the cabinet members, only Cui Hao has a relatively transcendent status, but he represents the Central Plains and Hebei families.

When everything was made public, the outside world felt very much about Wei Shuo's set.

There are people who are happy and some people who are disappointed, but in any case, everything is settled.

……

Zheng Wen knew the reason why he didn't get anything from this trip to Guanzhong, and King Yong didn't behead them to show the public after persuading them to enter the turmoil, and he had nothing to complain about.

In the end, Zheng Wen had to let out a long sigh, gloomily packed up, and prepared to leave Chang'an with endless loss.

In addition to Zheng Wen, Wei Zhen, the representative of the Guan Long family, was also a little gloomy.

He thought that Wei Shuo would take advantage of the situation to accept the family, but he didn't expect Wei Shuo to be so resolute and still exclude most of the family from the center of political power.

When all the dust settled, Wei Zhen couldn't hide his loss in his heart.

Under the pretext of being unwell, he locked himself in his study and saw no one.

Wei Zhen sat in the study and read, but he was obviously uneasy, and he didn't read a word for a long time.

Suddenly, the voice of his son Wei Daofu came from outside the door.

"Father, son has something important to see!"

Wei Daofu is Wei Zhen's most valued descendant, and he is also his eldest son, who became a secretary in his early twenties, and won the praise of His Royal Highness King Yong.

Although Wei Zhen is not in a good mood, he still wants to see his son when he has important things.

"Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and Wei Daofu walked in from the outside.

"The boy greets his father."

"Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, father."

When Wei Zhen saw that his son was wearing formal clothes, he asked, "Have you just gone to court?" ”

"Back to my father, the child just came from King Yong's mansion."

Wei Zhen was stunned and said, "What are you doing in King Yong's Mansion?" ”

Wei Daofu said respectfully: "This is the important thing that the child wants to report to his father. ”

"Today His Highness summoned the child......"

"Temple...... What does Your Highness want you to do? ”

For some reason, Wei Zhen's face suddenly changed greatly, and he couldn't speak.

Wei Zhen thought that Wei Shuo was not going to stop there, and was ready to take his son Wei Daofu under the knife.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be sincerely frightened, and at the same time regretted that he had taken the liberty of inciting the family to persuade him.

"Father, Your Highness and your son have been talking for more than half an hour."

"He said that Director Guo Yiguo will leave his post as secretary and supervisor, go to the local area for training, and take up the post of county governor."

"In this way, the secretary and supervisor will be vacant, and His Highness is ready to let the child take over."

Wei Zhen was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect his son to be the secretary and supervisor.

The secretary and supervisor don't look at the quality is not high, but it is the official position that can be closest to His Royal Highness King Yong.

In Hexi, I don't know how many young talents are secretly coveted.

And Wei Zhen didn't expect that this benefit would fall on his son today.

After a long time, Wei Zhen suddenly woke up, and the corners of his mouth slowly showed an extremely bitter smile.

King Yong is worthy of being the hero of the world, and this imperial method is used perfectly, playing with all the families in the palm of his hand.

But did the Wei family dare to refuse? Can't!

Wei Zhen knew very well that as long as he refused, it would be tantamount to tearing his face with King Yong, and what was waiting for the Wei family would be the disaster of annihilation.

At the same time, Wei Zhen also gradually understood that King Yong's attitude towards the family was nothing more than both use and prevention.

But what about Wei Zhen? Now it is no longer the Wei and Jin dynasties, and years of war have already caused the strength of the Northland family to drop greatly, and it is not enough to compete with King Yong.

"Since King Yong has entrusted you with such an important position, you will do your job well and live up to King Yong's good intentions."

"Son saved!"

"In addition, today, Dadu Hu has recruited many young talents to serve as secretaries, including Zheng Ye."
