After Sima Shu introduced the power of Shangshu Province, everyone present realized that Shangshu Province would be the center of power of the imperial court in the future, and the Nine Shangshu would exercise specific administrative power instead of Jiuqing. As expected, the first Shangshu Ling was indeed obtained by Zhang Hua, and the left and right servants were Zhang Bin and Du Xi, both of whom were the prince's henchmen.

Zhang Hua, Zhang Bin, and Du Xi also served as the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of the Army, and the Ministry of Households.

After introducing Shangshu Province, Sima Shu began to talk about Zhongshu Province with everyone.

"As you all know, I inherited Cao Wei from the Central Book Province and was mainly responsible for the central decision-making body. Its function is to study the book and participate in confidential decision-making. Therefore, people at the time had a cloud that 'the post is in the middle book, and the edict is issued', and it is also said that 'the post of the middle secretary should be sent to the edict'. According to Gu's plan, in the future, Zhongshu Province will continue to be in charge of decision-making and decision-making, and will be responsible for drafting and formulating imperial laws. ”

"Zhongshu Province has a chief official Zhongshu Ling, and two Zhongshu Shilang in the deputy, and there will be an inspectorate under it, and more than 50 people will be in charge of the imperial history and nine branches of the imperial history to be in charge of the imperial court discipline and the gains and losses of hundreds of officials, and the officials will select people of insight to serve as the officials, and at the same time, Zhongshu Province will also set up 365 undertakers, responsible for reviewing and formulating relevant laws of the imperial court."

"These imperial histories patrol the places every day and supervise the officials. Once an official is found to have violated the law, he can be impeached by various sections of the province. After receiving the impeachment, the corresponding sections will immediately file a case and ask the officials of the province of Shangshu where the impeachment has been impeached or the officials of the prefecture to come to the court for consultation and confront the impeachment of the imperial history. Once the evidence is conclusive, the impeachment case can be considered. Once the impeachment case is passed in the province, it is immediately reported to the emperor, and the emperor will remove the impeached official based on the result. ”

Hearing this, everyone present was a little thoughtful, Pei Wei and the others felt that it was a little unrealistic to compete with Zhang Hua for Shangshu Province, but if they could go to Zhongshu Province, it would be good, and it would be good to rush for the power to impeach hundreds of officials!

It seems that the power is greater than that of the Jin Dynasty's Si Lixiao, and Zhongshu Province doesn't seem to need much ability to deal with mundane things, which is just right for a celebrity like them!

The administrative power and supervision power were all divided, and the remaining power of supervision and deliberation was given to Menxia Province by Sima Shu.

Menxia Province was changed to another appearance by Sima Shu, with the Huangmen Shilang as the main official and the commander-in-chief Menxia Province, and the adjutant scattered and rode two permanent attendants. In addition, there will be 365 councillors in the province to exercise the power of "undertaking (people's) will". Cheng Lang each county elected two people regardless of status for a term of five years to live in Kyoto, and the others were supplemented by the Luoyang area.

"Your Highness, what is the Promise Lang?"

"In the future, those who are engaged in military, industrial, commercial, agricultural, academic and other positions will be selected with outstanding achievements. In the future, whether it is a soldier, a businessman, or a farmer, as long as he is elected as a promiser, he has the right to deliberate on the gains and losses of the government. ”

Sima Shu's intention caused the unhappiness of Wang Yan and other ministers of the family, and he was a little dissatisfied when he thought that in the future, these noble-born sons of the family would sit together with a group of mud-legged people to criticize the government. But seeing that the prince couldn't refute it, they didn't dare to touch the mold.

Menxia Province represents the will of the people of the world according to the setting and definition of Sima Shu, and is in charge of auditing the tax payment and expenditure of the imperial court. The Shangshu Province was responsible for collecting taxes and expenditures, while the Menxia Province was responsible for overseeing the rates of basic taxes such as land taxes and salt and iron taxes, the types of taxes, and examining where each copper plate was used.

"Ladies and gentlemen, every year Shangshu Province has to carry out the 'Spring and Autumn Plan' in Menxia Province. That is to say, Shangshu Province will go to Menxia Province every spring to conduct a 'summary report on the expenditure of the previous year and a budget report for the next year', and in the autumn, it will also go to the province of Menxia to conduct a 'semi-annual summary report'. In addition, Shangshu Province must pass the examination and approval of the Ministry of Men to increase the basic tax by any amount. ”

Listening to the prince's account of the powers of Menxia Province, Zhang Hua and the others thought for a while, just now the prince greatly increased the power of Shangshu Province, but he supervised and restricted it through Menxia and Zhongshu Provinces. Everyone felt that although the crown prince was young, he was proficient in the art of imperial balance, and if Emperor Wu had this insight back then, I am afraid that the imperial court would not have fallen to the point it is today.

There is an audit office under the Ministry of Menxia, which is the audit department of the future imperial court. It is specially responsible for the review of the expenditure items of various departments, and after the report is made in Shangshu Province in the spring and autumn every year, a review report is also made for the reference of the candidates.

In normal times, once the Audit Office discovers that there is a problem with the expenditure of a certain department or a certain place in Shangshu Province, it can also submit it to the Ministry of Men and Xia Province for review and then conduct a confrontational impeachment.

At the same time, in order to deal with the affairs of the imperial court, Gu planned to set up a cabinet, which would be composed of officials from the Jialu Shangshu. For example, if Lord Zhang Hua was a scholar at this time, and Lone added a title to his head to record Shangshu's affairs, he would be a member of the cabinet. How do you distinguish the size of the cabinet members? They will be distinguished by their own bachelor's ranks, and for this reason, they plan to set up five levels of scholars: Wenyuange Scholar, Wuyingdian Scholar, Taiji Hall Scholar, Baohedian Scholar, and Guangming Hall Scholar, and there will also be a second-level such as the title of Xieli University Scholar. ”

"Your Highness, isn't this cabinet the supreme leadership body of the imperial court? Who can serve on the Cabinet? After listening to Sima Shu's introduction to the functions of the cabinet, Wang Yan couldn't wait to ask, he very much wanted to know whether the chief official of Zhongshu Province had the power to enter the cabinet.

"Well, Gu initially plans to have a total of eleven members in the cabinet, including the heads of the three provinces and the secretaries of some important departments, plus the head of the Privy Council who is in charge of the whole [***] team."

Wang Yan immediately relieved himself when he heard this, if it was according to what Sima Shu said, he estimated that he would be able to get a university scholar. Sima Shu was a little speechless about his cheap father-in-law, since the crown prince took power, Wang Yan suddenly became active, not only supporting the prince's big farm plan, but also keeping pace with Sima Shu in everything.

After Sima Shu finished distributing executive, legislative, and supervisory powers, he began to use judicial power to talk about things. Sima Shu attaches great importance to judicial reading, and he always believes that judicial reading is a great progress in social civilization. Therefore, he separated the historical criminal department directly from Shangshu Province and took Dali Temple as the master.

Sima Shu gave the administrative power to Shangshu Province, and the legislative supervision power to Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province respectively. And he is ready to hand over the third power of the separation of powers, the judicial power, to Dali Temple.

Dali Temple is equivalent to the Supreme Court of the Jin Dynasty, which is in charge of judicial proceedings, trial of sentences, and judgments of cases. All cases adjudicated in various localities are convicted and sentenced to death by the Dali Temple for examination and approval, and the Dali Temple also has the right to review any case that it feels is problematic or appealed by the General Procuratorate and the Metropolitan Procuratorate from the local judicial departments at all levels, and its trial rulings have the highest legal effect.

Dali Temple has the supreme ruling power of the law. Once the officials of Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and their subordinate institutions are directly judged to be illegal, even the cabinet members and Lu Shangshu will not escape the results of being held accountable.

"Dali Temple will be composed of seven Dali Temple Zhengqing and 18 Dali Temple Shaoqing, 18 Shaoqing are divided into: trial Shaoqing and judgment Shaoqing, respectively in charge of criminal and civil. Zhengqing and Shaoqing were nominated by Shangshu Ling and approved by Zhongshu Province, while Menxia Province had the right to refute them, and once passed, they were finally appointed by the emperor for a lifetime term. ”

"The head of Shangshu Province cannot arbitrarily appoint and dismiss Zhengqing and Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Shangshuling only has the right to nominate. Only when Zhengqing and Shaoqing are vacant, Shang Shuling has the opportunity to nominate him, otherwise all the Zhengqing and Shaoqing of Dali Temple can only stare dryly if they disagree with him. ”

"Dali Temple has branches in various places. There are three levels of adjudication offices at the state, county, and county levels. It is for the legal department to adjudicate the law. There shall be at least 16 state judges in the state jurassment office, 14 or more county judges in the county jury office, and 12 or more county judges in the county jury office. The state judges and county judges are appointed by the Dali Temple Zhengqing and Shaoqing peace council, and the county judges are appointed by the state magistrates. All judges and prosecutors must be law school graduates and proficient in the law. ”

Only then did everyone understand that the Dali Temple and its subordinate departments at all levels have extremely heavy functions and powers, and can effectively supervise local governments at all levels. Therefore, in addition to the fear of being haunted and not "micro-serving" to visit the imperial history of the local procuratorate, the rest are the judges of the legal departments at all levels.

According to Sima Shu, the judge is very different from the administrative officials of the local government, and it is not a "system" from entering the school to becoming an official, and there is no friendship at all. Moreover, the judges only serve for three to five years in each place, and then move on to other places.

In addition, the expenses of the judicial department are directly allocated by the household department, and then at the internal level, there is not much connection with the local government. Therefore, the judges of the judicial department do not have such a good relationship to talk about when they decide to break the case, and once they are judged to have violated the law, not only will the previous administrative handling be invalid, but they will also have to be punished, which is not easier than being impeached by the imperial history.

The prince's hand is really powerful, it can be said that in the future, the local officials of the Jin Dynasty will no longer be as good as before, and they must always be careful not to be grabbed by the imperial history and judges.

"What I want to talk about below are two more important directly subordinate agencies, the General Procuratorate and the General Patrol Police, these two departments, like Dali Temple, are separated from the jurisdiction of the three provinces and are directly responsible to the emperor himself."

"The responsibility of the General Prosecutor's Office is to cooperate with the General Patrol Police Department in the investigation of criminal cases, and the two supervise and balance each other. The General Patrol Police Office is responsible for apprehending criminals, while the General Public Prosecutor's Office is responsible for filing a lawsuit against Dali Temple. ”

"One of the most important responsibilities of the prosecutors under the Attorney-General's Office is the power of impeachment and the supervision of administrative affairs. If the procurator finds that the Dali Temple below and the assassin officials have violated the law, they have the right to report and expose it to the higher procuratorial agency. ”

As for the General Patrol Police Department, Sima Shu set it up as a "different world" Ministry of Public Security, but deprived it of some powers, leaving only law enforcement powers such as maintaining public order and investigating cases. Patrol police stations at all levels are set up in various localities to accept the "dual leadership" of the patrol police headquarters and local governments.
