295 New Dynasty and New Style (I)
Liu Yong was sitting on pins and needles, but his legs were like lead, and he just couldn't stand up. It is not uncommon for people to have a full temperament at www.biquge.info the last moment, but there are very few of them. Most of the officials are a little sleek, and now the situation in front of everyone is very clear. Compromise led to a new imperial court, and with the help of the Tang people, this new imperial court had a great chance of re-establishing the authority of the central government. And there is no longer a full man in the new court, and all the positions of real power are vacant.
Seeing that the old man Yuan Shoutong took such an active position, most people were not stupid, knowing that Yuan Shoutong had reached a consensus on cooperation with the Tang people, there was a chance that Yuan Shoutong's status would be quite high in the future imperial court.
Liu Yong wanted to show his loyalty and integrity, but he hesitated when it came to the end, after all, Yongyan and the Tang people had already given all the courtiers a step down, they were still courtiers of the Qing Dynasty, and they were still loyal to the emperor, but this emperor had changed people.
Three days later, all the Hanchens who submitted their names met Yongyan in the Taihe Palace. This time, Yongyan's spirit was much better, and he put on his bright yellow princely outfit to symbolize his esteemed status. But when Yongyan looked at the courtiers with excitement, he felt like eating a fly.
The courtiers who stood neatly and neatly were still in the same bowed and obedient posture as when they were in the court, but they were not wearing their own supplementary clothes, but all black Tang State formal clothes. Everyone has a big braid hanging from the back of their head, which is not pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.
This set of clothes was naturally forced by the Tang people to wear it, for the reason. The previous make-up service represents the previous official position. And the new court will adjust the new official positions. So the old-fashioned supplementary clothes obviously shouldn't be used, so you can wear our Datang formal clothes. Some courtiers behave iron-clad and resolutely don't wear it, so there is no way, you don't want to be an official. But in the end, there are still no people who have no eyesight.
The scene in front of him reminded Yongyan of some of the decrees given to him by the Tang people, all of which he was going to promulgate after he officially ascended the throne. The first of these decrees is that the Great Qing Revolution is old and new. In order to open the atmosphere of peace and civilization, from now on, the order of shaving hair and easy to obey will be abolished, and people can choose their own hair clothes. In addition to the formal attire of the Tang Dynasty, all courtiers were forced not to kneel, and in the new decree, various etiquette was simplified or changed. When the lower officials face their superiors, and the people face the officials, they all bow as a courtesy. The most serious one is to completely abolish the Eight Banners system and abandon the system of coated slaves with a master-slave relationship in a slave society. The Tang people demanded Yongyan. No one in the world is a slave, which also completely prevents the Manchus from becoming the masters of the Han people in the world.
In that year, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs. dug up the roots of the Han people, and now the Tang people have to force themselves to dig up their own Manchu roots. Although the new decree is not coercive, as long as this opening is opened, there will always be people who will abandon the costume of the Tartars, whether it is to restore Hanfu or imitate the Tang people, which is a frightening thing.
But Yongyan had no choice, he had to follow the instructions of the Tang people. In fact, even if he wanted to maintain the Eight Banners, half of the population of the Eight Banners had already been taken away by the Tang people. His treasury and the treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were also empty, and he could not afford to raise so many hardcore crops. In terms of social system, the superior position of the Manchu people has been abolished, and they have completely become normal nationals of this country, not supernationals.
Today's meeting is just Yongyan's encouragement to be listed as a minister, to paint a better future, and so on. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was the Tang people who let these Hanchen know that Yongyan's attitude was actively cooperative. The meeting was relatively short, Yongyan immediately got up and left, and the people in the staff office became the protagonists and began to announce new court reforms. Everyone was focused on one of the ways out.
This change is not insignificant, Bai Nan's operation almost changed the Qing court. The reform of the Qing court was a direct advance towards the modern enlightened monarchy. The imperial court was changed to a cabinet system, and Yuan Shoutong, the former minister of military aircraft, served as the prime minister, leading all government affairs of the imperial court. In addition to the Prime Minister, the Cabinet has six major cabinets to assist the Prime Minister in dealing with issues, and his status is second only to the Prime Minister. The Cabinet has various ministries and institutes under its jurisdiction, which are responsible for specific affairs.
The military department is still in charge of the military, the official department is in charge of officials and personnel, the household department is in charge of civil affairs and household registration, and the criminal department is in charge of public security and prisons. The Ministry of Industry managed the construction, and the management of handicrafts and industry was added, and the power was greatly increased. The Ministry of Rites was completely split, and the Ministry was still the School Department, which was in charge of education and examinations, and the Guozijian and Qintianjian were merged into the Admission Department. The Ministry of Cao is responsible for water conservancy and transportation, and the Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for agriculture, increasing from six to eight
The Hanlin Academy is retained, which is equivalent to the Central Secretariat. The unit in charge of foreign affairs is the Honglu Academy.
In terms of justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was retained, and the Dali Temple was changed to the Dali Yuan, which was responsible for supervising officials, and was also the highest supervisory body, directly responsible to the emperor, and the Dali Yuan was equivalent to the Supreme Court. The Criminal Department is only in charge of investigation and arrest, not in charge of convictions, and the Dali Yuan is responsible.
Rifan Yuan was in charge of ethnic affairs, Taijoin was in charge of state worship, and Gwangroin was in charge of propaganda. The highest chief of the academy is the secretary of state, the deputy minister is Shaoqing, the highest chief of the ministry is Shangshu, the second chief Shilang, Shangshu and the Secretary of State are at the same level, and Shilang is at the same level as Shaoqing.
As a result, there were eight ministries and eight courts under the cabinet. The local reforms were equally enormous, as the collapse of the Eight Banners and the Green Camp system, coupled with the deliberate separation of military and political affairs from Pak Nam, made the governor of a province and no longer managed military affairs. Each province follows the example of the central government and sets up its own departments and bureaus. The province directly sets up a government, and the government is a county.
In this way, the two distinct creatures that are equal to officials are united, and it can be said that it is a miracle that opened the sky in ancient times. This also means that the imperial examination in the future will also be reformed drastically.
In terms of grade, the prime minister is in the first grade, and his status is respected, the bachelors of the six palaces are from the first rank, the secretary of state and the local governor are in the second grade, the squire and the young secretary are from the second grade, and the provincial deputy is also from the second grade. The prefect directly broke through to the third grade, and the deputy position was from the third grade. The county is the fourth product, and the deputy is from the fourth product. The following officials are the five products and the five products. The original nine-grade and eighteen-grade system was abolished and replaced with the current five-grade and ten-grade system. In fact, it is similar to the state, provincial ministries, departments and bureaus, county departments, and township departments of the republic.
In this way, the bureaucratic hierarchy has been simplified, the transactional nature has been enhanced, and some units of less practical significance have been eliminated, which is undoubtedly a very positive reform. However, the officials were still extremely shocked by this, although many of the official names have not changed, but it is obvious that their status and power have changed a lot. It's just that the officials don't have much room to put their beaks, they can point at the nose of the Tang people and scold, but the Tang people ignore them.
If you love to do it, if you don't like it, you can get out, it's that simple.
Yuan Shoutong has already locked the only Zhengyipin position, although he has a lot of attacks behind his back, but most people are still envious. And the remaining six palace scholars, from the position of Yipin, are obviously also very sought after by officials, and some officials with enough qualifications began to think about how to obtain the position of palace bachelor. The more promising ones are Cai Xin, Liang Guozhi, Wang Jie, Ji Huang, Dong Huan and others, all of whom have served as ministers of military aircraft, or are about to serve as military aircraft, and their qualifications and abilities are not lacking. Moreover, these people didn't think about it, and went to Nanguwei Island to farm and open mines, so these four people would almost definitely get the official position of the palace bachelor. In this way, there is still a university scholar missing, and Liu Yong's chances are relatively large.
Due to the separation of the scholars of the palace from the Shangshu and the Secretary of State of the Eight Ministries and Eight Academies, Liang Guozhi, Wang Jie and others were promoted to the status of the second assistant and the second minister, and they would no longer hold the positions of Shangshu and other positions, and the original Manchu officials had already resigned, so the Shangshu and the Secretary of State of the Eight Ministries and Eight Academies were almost vacant. This gave a large number of Beijing officials who originally had relatively low positions to opportunities.
In fact, this court is not completely devoid of Manchu people, there are still a large number of Manchu governors, generals and governors in the local area, in order to complete Jiaqing's full control of the empire as soon as possible, so they will continue to stay, and even Yongyan will issue an edict to persuade them to come to Beijing to serve in some high positions. Of the sixteen ministers of the Eight Courts and Eight Ministries, at least three seats were reserved for the Manchus.
Someone suggested that Guilin, Sazai, Bayan and other Manchu feudal officials be lured into the capital, and then all of them should be sent to Nanguwei Island. Obviously, such a method was not conducive to the new imperial court's control of the empire, which in turn led to the Tang Dynasty not being able to control the Qing Empire more quickly.
In the final analysis, the Cuckoo Project was never a game in which a group of angry Qing Emperors traveled thousands of miles to Qing the country, overthrow the wild boar skin, and then restore Han rule. The core of the Dujuan plan is to safeguard the interests of the Tang Dynasty, and to obtain a stable source of immigrants and develop and build the country of the Tang Dynasty by controlling the Qing State in disguise. At the same time, to open up the trade situation and obtain the Qing market, on the one hand, to obtain huge profits from commerce and trade, and on the other hand, to use cheap and high-quality Datang commodities to disintegrate the small peasant economy of the Qing Dynasty. In the end, a large number of small farmers went bankrupt, society was in a period of turmoil and change, new industries and new ideas would gush out, and it was the Qing court instead of the Tang government that sat on this stove. The infamy was borne by the wild boar skin, and then the Tang Dynasty promoted a profound social change, and when the time was ripe, he would go down the mountain to pick the fruit. As soon as the banner of the king of the city was pulled, the Qing Dynasty became Tang.
This is a long-term process, Bai Nan does not know how long it will take, if it is fast, it will be more than ten years, if it is slow, it will be possible for twenty Chinese New Year's Eve, in short, in his lifetime, it must be seen. Paiknam, who was born in the Republic, has always possessed the calculation and patience of our party to strategize and win a decisive victory, and in order to achieve a great goal, he can go step by step. Now in this early stage, what he needs to do is to set up a Qing court that is not so backward and is still under his own implicit control. (To be continued.) )
