"Jun Xian, go on!" Li Shimin said.

Li Junxian then came up with a plan and said: "Our central government can form a privy council to be responsible for all military mobilization powers, and its status is equivalent to that of the three provinces. The reigning monarch can also serve as a privy counsellor to this Privy Council. Officers with military merit can be appointed by the emperor to be crowned deacons of the Privy Council, and in the future, any need to transfer troops, or major decisions, must be handed over to all the deacons of the Privy Council for consultation, and if no agreement can be reached, then a vote must be sent. The transfer of troops and horses must be unanimously agreed, and other things only need the consent of seventy percent of the deacons of the Privy Council. It is then reported to the emperor, who decides whether to implement it. The emperor can have one veto power. ”

Fang Xuanling heard this, and then asked: "Isn't this similar to our Datang political hall?" ”

At this time, everyone reflected that this was actually similar to the political hall of Datang. The Tang Dynasty political hall was actually the place where the prime minister deliberated, and all the prime ministers of the three provinces could discuss in the political hall and then decide the development of the country. Later, the people who were able to enter the political hall were not necessarily the leaders of the three provinces, and people in other official positions could also join. For example, the six Shangshu, even the second-in-command of the Zhongshu Province, and the six Shangshu, and other people in official positions can join. However, these people were crowned by the emperor as the name of participating in political affairs, participating in political affairs, and participating in the gains and losses of the council, so that they were eligible to enter the political affairs hall, and these people were also called prime ministers. As for the late Tang Dynasty, that is, only those who were crowned as the three products of the Tongzhongshu Sect, and those with this title were prime ministers, and they were qualified to determine the power of the future development of the country.

"Yes, I'm imitating the political affairs hall, but in fact, the political affairs hall is just a committee system." Li Junxian said.

In fact, this political hall is the earliest committee system in China, but the specific status and power are not as refined as the committee system of later generations, but in the initial stage. Moreover, this committee system was not really formulated for better development, but only for the emperor's need to divide powers. In this case. In fact, the committee system cannot be developed.

And with the example of this government hall, everyone can accept that this Privy Council has also carried out the same. After Li Shimin heard this, he also regarded this committee system as a system like a political hall. And now that there are examples, the level of acceptance is much smoother. Everyone thinks that the Privy Council membership system is actually just a clone of the Cabinet of Ministers, and there is no difference.

However, some sensitive ministers have clearly discovered that if they do it in this way, then I am afraid that the military attaché will indeed be able to compare with the civilian official in the future. Don't look at the fact that it is the military attaché who obviously overwhelms the civilian official, but this is only a phenomenon that occurred during the founding of the country. Once the era of peace comes, the position of the warriors will obviously be suppressed. When the time comes, it will be the time for the rise of civil officials. At that time, if the military attache wanted to become the prime minister, it would be difficult. However, if this Privy Council is established, there will be a new way for military attachés to be promoted, and civilian officials will not be able to interfere with the army.

Although the military attaché is now very powerful, he can influence the civilian officials. But everyone is mixed in the three provinces, once the civilian official becomes the governor of the three provinces, isn't it also possible to intervene in the army in turn? If this Privy Council is formed, the civilian officials will no longer be qualified to intervene in the army, and they will all be run by military attachés. Although the military attache could not interfere in political affairs. However, on the whole, the losses were relatively large for civilian officials. Because most of the time the period of peace in the world is longer than the period of war, the period when civilian officials are in power is much longer than the period when military attaches are in power. In such a comparison, there are still more losses for civil officials!

Since they are in power, they naturally have a farther vision. They are able to see nature more deeply. Especially the famous faces of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, they obviously already know the future development, civilian officials cannot interfere in the army, and military attaches cannot interfere in politics. And the only meeting point is the emperor, the highest person. The emperor was able to straddle the military and politics, so that the emperor's position of power could be maintained.

"What do you think?" Li Junxian asked.

Fang Xuanling immediately asked, "General Li, then follow your plan." Since then, the civil and military have been completely equal, and the civil officials have Shangshu Province, and the military attachés have the Privy Council, which can be used as the highest power yamen. And a martial artist can also become a deacon of the Privy Council, or can he be regarded as equal to a position such as a civil official's counselor and governor, and become a 'military minister'? ”

"Yes! Military attachés should also have their own supreme authority, so that the powers of civil and military officials can be divided and not interfere with each other. Nowadays, there are often people who have both civil and military identities, so it is easy to form a concentration of military and political power. We must do our best to avoid this situation, and we must completely separate the military and the government. Li Junxian said.

Du Ruhui immediately asked: "Shouldn't the officials of the army and the government serve each other?" ”

Li Junxian gave an astonishing answer: "I didn't make it impossible for the civil and military to communicate, in fact, the civilian and military attaches can still communicate with each other." ”

"What? Can the military and the government serve each other? What's the difference between this and the past? A civil servant asked.

Li Junxian explained: "If an officer wants to serve in the government, it can be called a change of career, but he must be lowered by a large grade to appoint, and the same is true for civilian officials. Moreover, in the future, the imperial court will never be able to have people who hold both civil and military positions, either in the government or in the military, and cannot hold both military and political positions. This is the case with the Privy Council that I proposed, which completely distinguishes between civil and military officials. ”

"Then what kind of officer wants to change careers?" Du Ruhui asked.

The transfer of officers to other professions is a very important issue. Because it is good to be an officer, but to be transferred to a civilian position, this is of course a little unwilling.

"Our military has a term of office, and it is transferred every three years. After three years of service in each position, you must change positions, and if you are not promoted after three consecutive transfers, you will be demoted to become a civil servant. And if a civilian official wants to join the army, he must have an order from the emperor. Li Junxian said.

"Li Junxian, you said that officials have a tenure? Do I have to change my position in three years? Li Shimin asked.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty did not have a so-called term system, once he became an official position, he was always in this position. As long as you don't make a mistake, you will not be transferred to another position. In the Tang Dynasty, if you want to transfer positions, you must either be promoted, demoted, or flattened for some reason. This mobility is not fixed and does not result in a fixed transfer time. So it's possible for some people to stay in one position for decades. (To be continued......)
