Chapter 7 Three Provinces and Six Ministries
"The minister is here!" Cao Meng responded and bowed.
"How did I arrange for you to do yesterday?" asked Liu Hao.
"Back to the emperor, the minister found out until midnight yesterday, and he had already put all the remnants of Dong Sancai in prison, because it was too late last night, so he didn't disturb the emperor's rest. As he spoke, he handed over the fold in his hand, and the eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to take it up.
Liu Hao took it and looked at it, and nodded very gratefully.
After Dong Sancai's remnants were all subdued, he was able to put all his mind on the coup.
At this time, Daxia was already terminally ill, and he had to take strong and ruthless medicine to be cured.
"You have done a good job, I am very pleased, I canonized you as the general of the Yulin Lieutenant today, the commander of the Yulin Army, and within three months, the Yulin Army will be expanded to 10,000 people, I hope you can become my humerus minister in the future." Liu Hao directly promoted Cao Meng's official position, and even let him command tens of thousands of forest troops, which is absolute trust in Cao Meng.
Although Cao Meng's ability is very strong, of course Liu Hao can't give him the title of official at once.
In his plan, Lu Zhi, Wang Chong and others can be used as a transitional period, and Cao Meng and the talented generals found later will be his backbone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely not let Your Majesty down!" Cao Meng knelt down to thank him with some excitement.
"Where is Nie Bu?" asked Liu Hao again.
"The last general!" Nie Bu originally had no chance to go to court, but Liu Hao specially allowed him to come today.
"I named you the general of Huben Zhonglang, commanded 20,000 imperial forest troops, reorganized the remaining troops of Dong Sancai, and expanded the army to 20,000. Your Imperial Guards are not under the command of any generals, and are my private army. "The reason why Liu Hao wanted to canonize Nie Bu and let him command the private army was because Nie Bu was just a person with superior force but no brains.
And with Nebu by his side, he is also a good bodyguard.
Although he has cultivated the Divine Skill of the Great Emperor of the Ages, his real strength is still very weak now, and with Nie Bu by his side, the safety factor will suddenly be greatly improved.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the last general will definitely live up to the trust!" Nie Bu knelt down to thank him, and his mood was also mixed.
Originally, he was Dong Sancai's subordinate, and after Dong Sancai was killed by the emperor, he would definitely die, but he didn't expect that the emperor not only did not kill him, but also promoted him to an official and arranged such a heavy task, even if his IQ is not high, it is also a mess of emotion at this time.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play. At this moment, Situ Yang Biao came out to participate in the book.
"Quasi-play. Liu Hao looked at Yang Biao, to see what he, Lord Situ, would say.
"Your Majesty, suddenly expanding the private army by twenty or thirty thousand, there is simply not so much money and food to support the soldiers...... Yang Biao said.
Liu Hao waved his hand to stop Yang Biao from continuing.
"I have a way to deal with money and food, and now I will start today's important business. ”
Liu Hao said and looked at the hundreds of officials in the hall, and wherever his indifferent gaze passed, no one was afraid.
"The reason why my Great Xia Kingdom has reached this situation is because of the outdated official system in the DPRK and China, so today, I must change this system, I have designed a new system, you can take a look at it first. ”
As Liu Hao spoke, he asked the eunuch to send the new official system he had compiled last night.
This official system is actually the [three provinces and six ministries] that was more prevalent in the Sui and Tang dynasties in China.
The reason why the three-province six-ministry system is used is that Liu Hao has carefully considered.
In this era, the reckless use of the system after the modernization of the earth, whether it is Western capitalism or Eastern socialism, the span is too large, and people in this era cannot accept it at all.
However, the system of six ministries of the three provinces was the most tightly organized central official system in the feudal period, which was established in the Sui Dynasty and continued to be used until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Even if it evolved into a cabinet system during the Ming Dynasty, it was much the same, the only difference was that the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty was completely able to leave the emperor aside and give orders to ensure the normal operation of the country.
Of course, for this point, Liu Hao will of course also change, and the three provinces in the future can slowly evolve into a cabinet.
Of course, he must still hold the absolute right in his hands.
The schematic diagram of the three provinces and six departments is clear at a glance.
Under the emperor were the three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia and Shangshu.
Zhongshu Province is responsible for issuing orders, the chief Zhongshu orders two people, the subordinate province is in charge of the refutation and deliberation, and the Changgong serves two people.
The edicts passed by the Zhongshu and the Men were submitted to the Shangshu Province for execution after being ruled by the emperor.
Shangshu high-ranking official Shangshu Ling has one person, and there are two deputy chiefs on the left and right.
Shangshu Province has jurisdiction over six departments: officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, each of which has four divisions, totaling twenty-four divisions.
Such a strict official system is enough to revitalize the almost paralyzed official system of Great Xia.
Therefore, Liu Hao thinks that it is best to use the three-province six-ministry system to transition first.
Isn't there a saying in later generations that goes like this:
If you take too big a step, you're going to get to the egg.
After looking at the system of three provinces and six ministries, as well as the responsibilities of each department, all the officials were shocked.
They are all talented people, and just after reading it once, they immediately understood the tightness and benefits of this central bureaucratic system.
Even many people sighed in their hearts, if there was this official system before, it is estimated that the eunuchs of their relatives would not have much chance to mess with the court.
The most important thing is that this set of strict official system was compiled by the young emperor who was only fifteen years old.
From now on, who would dare to say that the young emperor is incompetent?
