In the Youzhou Thorn History Mansion, the candles are bright.

After a day of discussion in the government hall today, the officials were already very tired.

Not to mention Wen Yanbo, Lu Chengqing and others, let's just say that Wei Zheng is a workaholic who works for eight hours a day, and his spirit is a little tired at the moment. Only Li Chongjiu is in good spirits.

Li Chongjiu's gaze swept over everyone, all the ministers barely sat up straight, and Wen Yanbo, who had long been out of energy, kneaded his eyes and cheered up.

Therefore, Wen Yanbo and the others did not dare to slack off for a moment.

Wen Yanbo first asked: "Why does the king say that the rule of three generations cannot be sustained?" ”

The sons of the pre-Qin Dynasty, except for the Legalists, no one all admired the three generations, so today's scholars all think that the three generations are the most exemplary dynasties, otherwise there would not be Wang Mang's original reform of the ancient system.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "You are all tired, anyway, today is definitely going to talk about the night, and you are not in a hurry, so you will stay and rest in the Thorn History Mansion." ”

All the officials said yes together.

Li Chongjiu asked outwardly, "What kind of snacks are prepared in the kitchen?" ”

The outsider reported: "Your Majesty, Madame is worried that you are too late to discuss the matter, so she has already ordered the kitchen to prepare white fungus lean porridge. ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "How many bowls can I hold, enough for me to eat with a few Aiqing?" ”

"Of course, Madame ordered someone to boil a big pot for you, and the fire in the small stove has not been extinguished, if the king wants to eat, just tell his subordinates to do it."

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but praise Yang Ehuang's thoughtfulness, and said: "Okay, you see what to do, feel free to send a few things, but the white fungus lean porridge must be served first." ”

Soon, the steaming white fungus lean porridge was served bowl by bowl, although the portion was not much, but it was very exquisite.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wei Zheng and the others were already hungry, and after thanking them together, they picked up a spoon and drank porridge to eat.

Li Chongjiu also munched on it, and soon the kitchen served a basket of mutton and onion cakes, as well as a pot of crucian carp to make fish soup.

In the cold and freezing, everyone drank the steaming fish soup and the mutton and onion cakes, and after a while, they ate very comfortably, and their tiredness was swept away.

Wang Jue breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've eaten such a meal." ”

Everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks, stretched their waists, and returned to the topic.

Li Chongjiu said: "When there are three generations, one party is governed, and the mouth is not more than tens of thousands, so the monarch handles government affairs, and the lower can pass through the top, and if there is a change, it will be changed, so the government is clear." ”

"And the cause of the Sui family's turmoil is that its monarch is autocratic, and its law is in chaos. The Son of Heaven is multiplied by the weight of ten things, and he is dedicated to government affairs, and he breaks ten things every day and five is not hit, and the middle one is just that, if he does not win, what about it, the lower intention cannot be passed, and it is too late to regret it? Ten thousand opportunities a day, I have lost a lot, and I have accumulated years and months, which is difficult to return. ”

Li Chongjiu's words, in short, three generations, the monarch ruled the population is relatively large, the place is not wide, so the words can be reached, the lower can not be hidden, this point is easy to explain now, now in a large country with a large population, it is difficult to clear the government, but a small country, because it is easy to govern, but it is very rich, and the people's living index is high.

Wen Yanbo is not an easy person to be persuaded, and asked at the moment: "Then how difficult is it to be so governed?" ”

Li Chongjiu said: "Therefore, I believe that the Son of Heaven must appoint virtuous and virtuous people, and he should be regarded as a high-minded man, and all the departments should serve his duties, so that the temple is full of righteous gentlemen, and stay away from the villains in Gouying." Therefore, I decided to customize it first, and then set the law, otherwise the rules and regulations will be complete, and if the officials do not want to abide by them, what is the use of the rules and regulations? ”

Li Chongjiu's words are the essence of modern political thought, but Wen Yanbo, Wang Qi and others actually nodded together to express their understanding, which surprised Li Chongjiu, and it seems that the wisdom of the elite of this era cannot be underestimated.

Wang Qi asked: "Then according to the king's will, should we put aside the law of our ancestors and set our own system?" ”

Li Chongjiu shook his head, of course this is not allowed, if it is said that the Chinese people worship the system of three generations, it is a mistake to go back to the ancient times and move against the current, then put aside a qiē and create their own system, then it is utopia, that is utopianism. If politicians are also unclear-minded, this is a disease that must be treated.

Li Chongjiu said: "Gu generally also respects the five provinces and six Cao of the Sui Dynasty, and on top of this, Gu has made slight modifications. ”

Hearing that Li Chongjiu was not ready to make a big change, everyone was relieved, and now Youzhou has some signs of fighting for hegemony in the world, and it must not be changed from east to west, and it must be used as a test field to deal with, let alone mention it.

Wen Yanbo served as Wen Linlang in Zhongshu Province, so he was well aware of the Sui Dynasty's code system.

Wen Yanbo said: "The so-called five provinces and six Cao, five provinces, are Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, Shangshu Province, Secretary Province and Inner Service Province, and Shangshu Province, six Cao officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers. ”

"Among the five provinces, the secretary province, the collection of palm map books, the compilation of national history, and the astronomical calendar can be described as leisure, and the inner service province is the eunuch who serves the inner court, so the officials of the Great Sui Dynasty removed the unimportant secretary province and the internal service province served by the official eunuch, and directly called the three provinces and six Cao system."

Li Chongjiu nodded, the three provinces and six Cao, which is very close to the famous system of three provinces and six ministries in history.

In fact, the Tang Chengsui system, the three provinces and six ministries system are basically unchanged, the three provinces are directly subordinate to the Son of Heaven, and the three provinces are ordered to govern the world's hundreds of millions of people, thousands of miles of territory, and the six ministries are directly governed by Shangshu Province.

Generally, the province of Zhongshu drafts a decree and hands it over to the Son of Heaven, and after the Son of Heaven approves it, it is handed over to the province of Menxia, and after the province of Menxia passes guò, the book can be handed over to the province of Shangshu for implementation. If not, you will go back to the Chinese book province to revise and go through the process again.

Only the decrees of the two provinces under the Zhongshu Gate and the emperor's personal consent were handed over to the six ministries of Shangshu Province for specific implementation, and all states, counties, counties, and military prefectures in the world were directly responsible to the six ministries.

To put it bluntly, it is the so-called power, that is, the decision-making power, the parliamentary power, and the executive power. Zhongshu Province discusses politics, Menxia Province and the emperor make decisions, Shangshu Province administrative, to put it bluntly, that is, Zhongshu Province mentions what to do, Menxia Province and the emperor make decisions together, and Shangshu Province goes to work.

And a thousand years later, in the Ming Dynasty, it became the cabinet to mention what to do, the emperor or eunuch made the decision, and the six ministries went to work.

The system of the Great Sui, which continued the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, and even the Ming Dynasty a thousand years later, improved so much on the basis of three provinces and six ministries.

In the Qin and Han dynasties, the decision-making power, the parliamentary power, and the administrative power were all only borne by the prime minister, and the so-called three provinces were divided into three parts to achieve power balance.

Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "As for the three provinces and six Cao, no, the three provinces and six departments are more pleasant, so they will follow this official system." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, but they couldn't help but think that King Zhao was completely inheriting the old system, where was there any place for reform.

Wei Zhengxin felt that it was inappropriate, and looked at everyone, he actually had a plan in his heart, and when he saw that everyone was silent, he said directly: "What the king just said, the loss of the Sui family, the Son of Heaven broke ten things every day and missed five things, why is this caused by the Son of Heaven abolishing the door and going down to the province." Therefore, the king should pay attention to the province and not repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, everyone felt that what Wei Zheng said was to the point. Indeed, Yang Guang was arrogant and conceited, and he told his subordinates that I did not like people by nature, so he dismissed all the officials in Menxia Province, and since then exercised a veto.

On the contrary, such as Li Shimin, he has become a famous monarch who follows the advice, and the reason is because Li Shimin has a powerful subordinate province. In history, such as Wang Qi, Wei Zheng, and Zhang Xuansu were all ministers of Menxia Province, the most famous of which was Wei Zheng, when he served as a counselor in Menxia Province, he refuted more than 200 mentions in total, many of which were Li Shimin's own.

Wei Zheng said that the reason why you understand is that you also listen. Li Shimin also said that by taking people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses, and Wei Zheng died, and he died in one mirror. This gentleman sings and harmonizes, and this is the reason.

Therefore, when Wei Zheng wanted to focus on the province, Li Chongjiu seemed to see himself who had ascended the throne as the emperor in another time and space, and returned to the palace angrily after the resignation of the dynasty, and said to the empress Yang E: "I swear to kill this Tian Shehan." ”

Emperor Yang E asked, "Your Majesty, which Tian Shehan is it?"

He replied: "It's not Wei Zheng, it's still a bastard, he will insult me every time he meets." ”。

After that, Emperor Yang E returned to the palace and changed into a court dress and stood in the court. I was surprised and asked, "What are you doing here?" Is it cold? ”

Emperor Yang E said with a gentle and virtuous look: "The concubine heard that the lord is straightforward; Now Wei Zheng is bluntly admonished, it is because of His Majesty's wisdom, and the concubine dares not to congratulate! ”

So he could only knock out his front teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and he had to pretend to be very happy, and he didn't know that he didn't know that the female carp was blowing the straw and was bluffing

Li Chongjiu looked at Wei Zheng, but when he saw Wen Yanbo, Wang Qi and the others had already nodded secretly, obviously this important mention of the lower province had their support. This is very simple, to put it bluntly, use the power of the courtiers of Menxia Province to curb Li Chongjiu's monarchy, and there is no courtier who does not like it.

Thinking of this, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but scold secretly, he launched the system of three provinces and six ministries, but he didn't lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot. However, this Wei Zheng is also really cunning, if he doesn't agree, isn't he going back to Yang Guang's old path and becoming the same faint king?

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Wei Aiqing is reasonable. But ......"

As always, Li Chongjiu changed his words and said: "At present, the great cause is being created, Li Tang is eyeing the tiger, the Turkic heroes are in the north, and there are still more than a dozen princes in the world. I want to sweep away the heroes, hundreds of battles, countless small battles, if everything is discussed, will it not be a lost fighter? In addition, the counties have just been in ruins, big and small, there are thousands of things, if anything has to be seen by the lonely king, the province of the door to see it again, is it not a mistake, delaying thousands of livelihoods. ”

"When this method is peaceful and prosperous, it is still possible, but when the world is in chaos, it is never advisable."
