489 Bureaucratic Reform

After Luan Yi announced that Heaven and Earth became the Holy Pope of the Chinese Empire, the fact that he never moved into the palace made the people very surprised. For a time, there were different interpretations of this matter.

Some people said: "The reason why the Pope did not move to the palace was that the palace was too small, and he wanted to build a palace outside Luoyang City that was larger than the entire Luoyang City to show the imperial style." ”

There are also people who say: "The Pope is very rich in the world, and he has countless gold and silver treasures in his hands, and the Pope's Palace, of course, is now called the Papal Palace, and the Papal Palace cannot fit it, so he is ready to transform the palace into a huge treasury for the storage of gold and silver." ”

In addition, the common people combined with the craftsmen to demolish the four gates and walls of the palace overnight, threatening that the pope would raze the palace to the ground and convert it into a huge barracks, which was specially used for military training and military training. Compared with the first two statements, the third one has a nose and an eye, and has the most supporters.

In any case, the change of the imperial palace became the most enthusiastic topic of discussion among the people in May and June of the eighteenth year of the Shengyuan Dynasty when they had nothing to do.

In order to prevent bloodshed among the people, Luan Yi ordered the Holy Light newspaper to issue an official statement in July: Luan Yi did not stay in the palace because he felt that although the high walls of the palace blocked the small night, it also erected an insurmountable gap between the emperor and the people. In order to get close to the distance with the people and understand the people's livelihood and the market, Luan Yi decided to abandon the palace, which had nearly 1,000 mansions, and settled permanently in the Papal Palace behind the Imperial Cathedral. As for the future use of the palace, Luan Yi told the people that in addition to the continued retention of various government offices, most of the backyard buildings, including the wall, will be demolished.

In the future, the Imperial Garden, located in the northern part of the Imperial Palace, will be open to all the people and become a public garden in Luoyang City, which is also known as a park; A large-scale theater will be built around the harem, and after completion, there will be paid performances of singing and dancing to entertain the public. After the buildings including the vestibule sanctuary are to be razed to the ground, a four-kemari court with 15,000 seats will be erected, and people can come here to watch kemari or polo matches at their leisure.

"The people of the Emperor's Imperial Garden can also go?" As soon as this news came out, the people rejoiced and chanted the papal virtue.

After ascending the throne, the first thing Luan Yi did was to carry out drastic reforms. Reform begins with the political system.

Facts have proved that since the Zhou Dynasty, the system of three princes and nine secretaries that has been used for thousands of years is inefficient, and even Luan Yi has not fully understood what his scope of responsibilities is.

Unclear responsibilities and unclear division of labor lead to frequent overlapping rights in daily work, and the consequence of overlapping rights is that when encountering good things, all departments swarm up to grab credit, and when encountering difficult things and miscellaneous matters, each department shirks the blame and plays Tai Chi with each other. I can't do anything for half a day.

In the current social background of development, Luan Yi, who is well aware of the importance of the division of labor for social development, naturally cannot let such an inferior system continue, and decides to implement administrative reform with the goal of the system of three provinces and six ministries that began in the Jin Dynasty.

In fact, before this, Luan Yi had already introduced the system of three provinces and six ministries to all aspects of the management of the Church of Our Lady, and the bishops he set up were the bishops of Zhongshu, Shangshu, Zhongshu, Baigong, personnel, An**, justice, discipline, and Tianli - the twelve cardinals are actually the deformation of the three provinces and six departments. Therefore, the officials of the DPRK and China are no strangers to the system of three provinces and six ministries, and they have also witnessed the superiority of the clerical system of the church.

Therefore, when Luan Yi proposed the reform of the official system, he did not encounter much obstacle, and the only difficulty was the issue of the matching number of officials in the DPRK and China after the change of official positions. In addition, the new court he wants to build should tend to be younger, and the placement of some of the old court halls is also a big problem.

If those old ministers are forcibly ordered to return to their hometowns, the world is now decided, and it is inevitable that there will be a bit of a sense of unloading the mill and killing the donkey. But if they are not dismissed, their thinking cannot keep up with the current form, but they occupy a lofty position.

This gave Luan Yi a headache for a while.

When Luan Yi was faced with a dilemma, his old lady Lu Zhi, the old lady who forgot about the year, stood up and wrote to say that he was old and asked to return to his hometown.

Luan Yi knew that although Lu Zhi was close to age, he was still strong enough to handle the government. The reason for resigning is to set an example for other old ministers in the DPRK and China.

Luan Yi was very grateful for this and agreed to Lu Zhi's request to resign. However, although he allowed Lu Zhi to resign as a lieutenant, he instead made him a sacrificial wine in the Imperial Military Division University Hall, allowing him to continue to stay on the front line of cultivating imperial military talents.

Lu Zhi wanted to refuse, but he couldn't stand Luan Yi's eager pleas, so he had to accept his life.

Lu Zhizhi is tantamount to a good start, the old ministers in the court are people who have been in the officialdom for a long time, since Luan Yi proposed to reform the official system, he guessed that he was blocking the way of the court reform, rather than relying on the position and not taking the humiliation of himself, it is better to retreat bravely and leave a good reputation. Then they all said goodbye to their hometowns.

Luan Yi did not allow all of them, gave the old ministers full severance pay, awarded them lords, and promised the future Imperial University Hall to give priority to their children.

As for the small number of former ministers who pretended to be confused and refused to let go of their rights, they did not enjoy this kind of treatment, they were either forcibly repatriated to their hometowns by Luan Yi, or they were transferred out of the center of power and became marginal existences of power.

The reform of the official system was carried out smoothly, Cao Cao Shangshu Province was shot by the left servant, and Cheng Yu was appointed as the right servant; Wang Yun served as the left servant of the subordinate province, and Guo Jia served as the right servant of the province; Xun Yu served as the left servant of Zhongshu Province, and Tian Feng served as the right servant. Pang Degong, Mao Jue, Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Xun You, and Huang Chengyan were appointed as officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and Fu Zhu, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Luan Fu, Xu You, and Cai Yan served as squires in each department.

Within a year, the officials of the six ministries were in place, and the new imperial offices gradually became operational in mutual adaptation.

After the reform of official positions, Luan Yi also carried out a wide range of changes to the local official system. The military power was separated from the state assassins, and the generals were sent to accept local military affairs. Local prefectures and county and county commanders only have administrative powers and are responsible for local people's livelihood, production, and taxation, while military generals are responsible for maintaining local security and avoiding foreign invaders and mountain bandits. In addition, the main task of the local church is to monitor the proper performance of the duties of the government and the military, and to report to the church headquarters in a timely manner.

As a result, a tripartite administrative management system was formed, which not only provided the people with a clearer state of affairs, but also further strengthened the centralization of power.

In the summer of the twentieth year of the Shengyuan Dynasty, just as the spring breeze of reform was vigorously held in the land of China, a secret message was transmitted from the grassland outside the Saiwai to Middle Earth.

According to the news, after the death of the old Xiongnu Shan Yu Hu Chuquan, King Zuo Xian, as the heir to the throne, deserved to inherit the throne of Shan Yu. Looking at Qubei Rong ascending to the throne and taking office as King Zuoxian - Qubei's brother Quwen, who was removed from the throne of Zuoxian because of the defeat of the Xianbei people, was very unwilling, and in a fit of anger, he decided to unite with the Xianbei people to attack Shan Yuting, and wanted to take back the throne of Shan Yuda from the hands of Qubei.

"This matter is still in the dark, do you want to inform him?" Qubei has been friends with the empire for many years, so after Guo Jia got the news that he was in danger but didn't know it, he immediately came to report Luan Yi.

Luan Yi got up from behind the table and paced a few steps, "No need to know. ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Guo Jia asked.

Luan Yi raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Praying mantis catches cicadas......"

"The Yellow Sparrow is behind?" Guo Jia smiled proudly.

"Yes!" Luan Yi continued: "Wait for Xianbei and the Huns to lose both, and it's not too late to clean up together." He turned his head to face Xu Shu and said: "Brother Fu, immediately mobilize the soldiers and horses of Sizhou, Qizhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou to gather in Liangzhou, remember to go out day and night, take the small road instead of the avenue, and when you arrive in Liangzhou, you must not enter the city, hide in the deep mountains, and you must not let Xianbei and the Huns carefully find out that the imperial army has been assembled on the Xiongnu border." In addition, I ordered the Bingzhou Flying Bear Army and Youzhou Cheetah Army to be on standby, and the Jizhou Eagle Army to advance northward, waiting for my order to be ready to send troops outside the fortress at any time. Five days later, the Imperial Central Army maneuvered in the direction of Chang'an in the name of drills. Tomorrow, you, me, Feng Xiao, eldest brother, and Lao He will go out of the city in the early morning in three days and join the army. Mao Xiaoxian was responsible for mobilizing military rations for the armies from all walks of life. As for the imperial court......"

He said to Xun Yu: "To the outside world, I will say that I am sick, and the affairs of the DPRK and China will be handled by Wen Ruo for the time being, and the difficult issues will be discussed by the cabinet elders, and the minority will obey the majority." If you really can't make up your mind, you can send elite horsemen to the army. Remember, no one must find out that I have left the capital. ”

"Whoa!"

……

It is said that since the sixteenth year of the Shengyuan Dynasty, the Huns, instigated by the Luan Yi Money Offensive, have continuously sent small-scale soldiers and horses to attack Xianbei, and plundered slave traders from various Xianbei tribes into Middle Earth, bringing unprecedented crises to the Xianbei people.

The Xianbei tribes knew that if this continued, they would one day face a catastrophe, and at the moment of crisis, the contradictory Xianbei tribes reached an unprecedented unity, and successively gathered under the banner of the Xianbei Kebi tribe headed by Kebineng.

Kebineng's strength grew stronger day by day, and he overthrew the cowardly and incompetent Xianbei and Lian Khan, and subdued the Xianbei tribes that were enemies with him.

After the unification of Xianbei, Kebineng sent troops to the Xiongnu to avenge the dead and exiled clansmen as their primary goal. It's just that because the Xiongnu were friendly with Luan Yi and were blessed by the Han people, they didn't dare to move troops for a long time.

Just when he was lying on his back and waiting to accumulate strength before using his troops. The former king of the Xiongnu, Zuo Xian, threw an olive branch to him - to moderate the 30,000 tribes under his command and were willing to be the guide to help Kebi to attack Shan Yuting.

The condition is that after placing the order in court, he will be supported to serve as the new single Yu. At that time, he will bow down to the Xianbei Kebineng Khan.
