The three provinces and six ministries are a system that has been developed and formed for a long time since the Western Han Dynasty.

The three provinces refer to Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province, and the six departments refer to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry under Shangshu Province. Each ministry has four divisions, making a total of 24 divisions.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seized the power of the outer dynasty and set up an internal dynasty headed by a general to deal with military affairs. The original Shaofu Shangshu and the Zhongshu confessor to convey the seal, communicate the internal and external dynasties, and be the origin of the Shangshu Province in later generations.

In the Han Dynasty, Shangshutai was set up to lead the affairs of hundreds of officials, and the chief was called Shangshuling. However, at this time, Shangshutai still belonged to the Shaofu sequence in the system, and the official character was low, so the general, the great Sima, and the Taifu were sent to govern in the name of recording Shangshushi.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the temple was set up as the emperor's attendant and consultant. Officials such as serving in the middle and scattering cavalry are mostly filled by scholars with outstanding knowledge, which is a temporary election.

However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, although there was Shangshutai, which had become the main organ for handling government affairs, it was an official office subordinate to the inner court after all, and could not be said to be a formal government organ of the state.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the official system established by the Northern Zhou Dynasty modeled on the Zhou rites was abolished, and the central bureaucratic system with the three provinces and six ministries as the main body was formally established. The governors of the three provinces are all ministers, and at the same time, the three dukes and the three divisions also participate in the government and are also prime ministers.

The three-province system in the Tang Dynasty was characterized by the transformation to two provinces and one province soon after its establishment. The impetus for this change was the control of the imperial power over the relative power and the improvement of administrative efficiency.

The emergence and development of the three provinces and six ministries system are all in Li Li's mind. From the moment he took charge of the Xiliang Army, he was planning the reform of the political system. He is well aware of the pros and cons of the three-province six-ministry system. When power was delegated to the three provinces, power was relatively decentralized. It will not form a situation of one dominance, which is convenient for the emperor to control, and is conducive to centralized rule; However, the three provinces check each other and restrain each other, and although their powers are scattered, it is easy to breed mutual blame-shifting, doing more mistakes and doing less mistakes, and shirking each other's responsibilities, thus leading to low administrative efficiency.

Plus. Li Li came from later generations and had a very high recognition of the military and political division system, so he has been deliberately creating a system atmosphere of separation between military and government affairs, with civilian officials governing local states and counties, and military generals specializing in military affairs and conquest; It is like two parallel tracks, running side by side without interfering with each other, maintaining a relatively independent operation situation.

In view of this, Li Li has been seeking a point of convergence between the three-province six-ministry system and the dual-track military and political system, and wants to blend the two political systems together. A brand-new political system was formed, which was not only conducive to the rule of imperial power, but also could maximize administrative efficiency. This idea has been brewing in his mind for more than ten years and has been put into action. Make a bold attempt to quietly change the current system, so that the subordinates can imperceptibly accept the new system. Operate within his predetermined system of rule, eventually changing the entire bureaucracy.

The founding of Xiliang is an important opportunity. It is the best time to formally implement the system of three provinces and six ministries, and it is also a test field for realizing the separation of military and government that Li Li has planned for a long time.

However, the system that Li Li has been planning for a long time is still based on the system of three provinces and six ministries. For the purpose of separating the military from the administration, the three provinces were renamed the Shangshu Province and the Military Aircraft Department, with the Shangshu Province in charge of government affairs and local governance, and the Military Aircraft Department in charge of the army and conquest. Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Officials, Soldiers and Households is the most important, because it is currently in the period of war, it is not suitable for all the reforms, so the six ministries remain unchanged for the time being, and they are still under the jurisdiction of Shangshu Province, and will be improved in the future.

Limited by the current situation, the three kingdoms are in full swing, the shape is tense, and war is on the verge of breaking out. Therefore, the new system planned by Li Li cannot be put in place in one step, and must be gradually advanced and completed step by step as the situation develops and changes without affecting the current situation. What is being implemented at present is only the rudimentary form of the new system, with the Military Aircraft Department as the main body, supplemented by the six ministries, and there is no clear separation between the military and the government.

Li Xuan was awarded the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and he was the prime minister of state affairs, in fact, he was the chief official of Shangshu Province, that is, the prime minister. The Minister of Military Aircraft, including Li Xuan, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, is the core member of the Military Aircraft Department; The Military Aircraft Department was the center of power in wartime, and was in charge of military affairs together with Li Li. This is the development of the form of war, the troubled times are still martial, and the military war must be the center, so the military aircraft department is particularly important, and the army is the foundation to maintain the rise and fall of the Jin State.

?????? On the Changle Hall, Li Ru stood on the upper steps, still reading out the edict of reward.

"The edict of Youzhou Thorn Shi Huaxin is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the state Thorn Shi Cui Yan is the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and Xun Chen is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry; Teng Xiao was appointed as the general of the expedition to the north, Xu Rong was the general of the expedition to the east, Zhang Liao was the general of the expedition to the south, and Bo Cai was the general of the expedition to the west; Huan Fei is the general of Zhendong, Dian Wei is the general of Zhenxi, Zhao Yun is the general of Zhennan, and Ma Chao is the general of Zhenbei; Huang Zhong is the general of Annan, Xu Chu is the general of Anbei, Gao Shun is the general of Anton, and Teng Yu is the general of Anxi??????"

The lengthy edict of reward was read for half an hour, involving more than 300 civil and military generals under Li Li's command with an official rank of more than 1,000 stones, all of which were officials left in the edict, and the remaining state and county officials were rewarded, most of them were promoted, and the remaining part was rewarded even if they were not promoted.

With Li Li's ascension to the throne as emperor, all the civil and military officials under his command rose with it. Among them, the promotion of civil servants has been relatively stable, and the phenomenon of seniority is relatively obvious. In contrast, the rewards received by the generals this time can really be regarded as leapfrogging promotions, especially the battalion commanders or battle-hardened generals, the rewards are unprecedentedly rich, there are not a few people who are promoted to the third level, and there are hundreds of generals who worship the generals and marquises, and most of the middle and low-level generals who followed Li Li to fight at the earliest. Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why they tried their best to support Li Li's ascension to the throne, which perfectly interprets the true meaning of a person's ascension to heaven.

It is worth mentioning that a large number of rising stars have emerged in this award, such as Guo Huai, Hao Zhao, Sun Li, Zhang Yi, Wang Ping, more than 30 young generals. Compared with the generals and veterans in the army, they did not have outstanding records, nor did they lead a battalion of men and horses, but they were able to stand out from thousands of generals, which shows that they are extraordinary. has become the backbone of the million-strong army of the Jin State, and it may not be able to replace the position of a group of veterans over time. Come from behind and take charge alone.

At the same time as rewarding civil and military officials. More than a dozen wives and concubines under Li Li's name also received the rewards they deserved. Li Xin, the main room, ascended to the throne and continued to be in charge of the inner house, Cai Yan, Dong Wan, Ren Hongchang, Chen Yu and Dian Wuflawless and other five wives were promoted to the concubines, and the remaining ten concubines were also promoted to concubines. Since then, a strange phenomenon has been formed: except for one queen in the entire inner palace, the other sisters are all concubines, and their status is almost the same. Moreover, the queen and the concubines still live together and are still called sisters. There is no separate palace, there is no favoritism; In terms of expenditure, as always, the distribution is equal, and Li Xin is in the middle of the distribution, and Zhen's Zhang Ai is in charge of all the industries under the name of the inner government, supplying the daily expenses of the inner government.

This is because they both have children, and according to convention, they should have corresponding titles, plus they have lived together for a long time, and their relationship is deep, not sisters but better than sisters. And Li Li has always treated them equally. There is no discrimination, which invisibly lets them know that their men hate the internal house fight, which prompts them to put away their thoughts that they shouldn't have. It is necessary to live in harmony with the sisters.

What's more, Li Li told them before he ascended the throne that his sons all learn and grow together. When they grow up, they must enter the army or go to the county to experience, and they all rely on their own efforts to gain fame. If you want to get the crown or inherit the throne, you must accumulate enough merit and take charge of it as soon as possible. and then lead an expedition or go with the army to fight.

On this point, Li Li's attitude is extremely resolute, there is no doubt about it, because he has enough time to train his son and choose an heir who has both ability and integrity. At present, his eldest son Li Hao is eleven years old, and the remaining sons are as old as Li Hao, the youngest of the dozen sons is now five years old, and Li Li is only twenty-nine years old now. Therefore, he has a lot of time to train his sons, and as long as he squeezes out some free time, he can personally educate them to adulthood. Even so, when they grew up, Li Li was still in the prime of life, and it was not a problem at all that he could choose an heir with his own hands, and then help him on the horse and give him another ride. As long as he pays a little attention, once he finds signs of infighting, he can stop it in time, so as to properly settle and guide well, so as not to kill each other, so as to put an end to court infighting.

It is precisely because of the large number of children that Li Li decided that even if his sons grow up, they do not need to be knighted. Let them not have a premature status difference between them, do not artificially set up obstacles and increase contradictions, create a good growth environment for them, let them grow up together with peace of mind, and then rely on their own ability to gain fame, so as to determine the future development direction and status. This is Li Li's obsession, and it is also a rock-solid belief. Since he has raised these children, he must be responsible for them, he must educate them well, and there must be no fratricidal incidents, otherwise his Li Li's life will be crippled and a failure.

?????? After rewarding the ministers, it was a grand military parade.

This is the highlight of the enthronement ceremony. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong in the military parade, Li Li had already dispatched five battalions of soldiers and horses to Beijing, including the Feixiong Battalion under the Huan Fei Tent, the Qinglong Battalion under the Xu Chu Tent, the Gao Shun Tent Camp under the Gao Shun Tent, the Jinfan Battalion under the Gan Ning Tent, and the Wuwei Battalion stationed in Yuzhou, and formed six military parade teams with the Dian Wei Tent Tiger Battalion under the Gongwei Tent guarding Gyeonggi. After half a month of intensive training, the six soldiers and horses who had changed their equipment entered the royal school and showed their military might to the fourteen foreign missions and the two major vassal states. The three armies were mighty and majestic like armies, and the appearance of each team made the envoys who came to watch the ceremony change their colors, and they were deeply moved and shocked.

In the third month after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Emperor Li Li of the Jin Dynasty issued an edict that shocked the world, which opened the prelude to the War of the Three Kingdoms.
