The celebration ended quickly, and the eighth year of Jian'an also fell" The wars that broke out in various parts of Dahan this year were no less than last year, and even more. In the first half of the year, Zhang Xiu continued to go south to Yizhou, trapped Badong, and broke Yanyan, the situation in Yizhou has gradually become unfavorable to Liu Zhang, but with Shu County in hand, Liu Zhang still has the ability to resist Zhang Xiu. And between the two heroes of Yuan and Cao in the north, there was another big battle of the Battle of Yicangting, which ended with Cao Cao's victory, and Cao Cao, the two heroes of Kwantung, had already laid the victory.

However, just when everyone thought that Zhang Xiu was going to return to the state and Cao Cao was going to take Hebei, the backyard of the two caught fire at the same time. After the end of the Cangting Battle Network, the news came that Sun Jian had broken through Hefei, Cao Cao knew that it was not good, and immediately returned to the division to save Huainan, and finally saved Shouchun and Huainan.

The situation on Zhang Xiu's side was even more severe, and the western Xianbei, the central Xianbei, and the Southern Xiongnu joined forces to go south, and the three parties joined forces to pass the 300,000 army. In the face of so many Hu people and defending such a long front at once, none of the princes of the Han Dynasty dared to say that they would win, but Zhang Xiu proved with facts that no matter how many Hu people were in front of Zhang Xiu, they were just local chickens and dogs.

This time, it can be regarded as letting the princes of the Han Dynasty see Zhang Xiu's strength clearly, because this time is a real unreserved attack after Zhang Xiu's full wings, and it is a head-to-head confrontation, which makes all the princes feel trembling. Through this battle, all the princes understood a truth, they must take the route of elite soldiers, otherwise it will be difficult to defeat the edge of Zhang Xiu's army!

Among these princes, Cao Cao is undoubtedly a step forward, after all, Cao Cao established the tiger and leopard ride earlier than Zhang Xiu, but Cao Cao does not have Zhang Xiu's courage and so much financial resources to build tens of thousands of elites, so the current Cao Cao is also half a step behind Zhang Xiu, but how to say that he is ahead of other princes. Now all the princes of the Han Dynasty are ready to show their elite soldiers, of course, this is not about Zhang Xiu's business, you must know that the elite soldiers are not so easy to get out, and without Feng's baptism of war, it is impossible to have strong elite soldiers.

In the spring of the ninth year of Jian'an, the net arrived, and in the mansion of the general of the fat cavalry, Zhang Xiu's subordinates gathered together.

At the beginning of the year, Zhang Xiu gathered all the civil and military affairs, which was already a practice, and everyone talked and laughed with each other and came to the mansion of the fat cavalry general. The look was relaxed.

However, when everyone sat down and heard Chen Song's first words, everyone's smiles dispersed, and their expressions became serious and solemn. I saw Chen Song take the lead and said: "Now there are many people under the Fat Cavalry General's Mansion, and many positions are chaotic, Song thinks that the internal reform of the Fat Cavalry General's Mansion should be carried out, and Song has a nine-grade system to determine the official position?" ”

Everyone here is Zhang Xiu's confidant and important minister, and he is also the elite of this era, and when he hears Chen Song's words, he still doesn't understand what Zhang Xiu means, after all, Chen Song is Zhang Xiu's brother-in-law. And without Zhang Xiu's instructions, how could Chen Song suddenly put forward this statement, to put it bluntly, Zhang Xiu spoke through Chen Song's mouth. In fact, as early as last year, when the new law was promulgated, everyone already knew that this day was not far away, and Zhang Xiu's confidants and ministers knew that he wanted to create a new system, but the time had not yet come.

Originally, everyone thought that Zhang Xiu would wait a few more years and then carry out the restructuring after receiving Yizhou, but now that Zhang Xiu proposed it, everyone thought about it carefully and felt that it was the right time. First of all, Zhang Xiu broke the Hu people last year, and the momentum was unmatched for a while, and no prince dared to touch Zhang Xiu's edge at this time.

Moreover, the princes of Kwantung restrained each other, and Sun Jian of Jiangdong also restrained Cao Cao in the south. Although Cao Cao repeated his old tricks, he used the strategy of two tigers to fight for food as he did against Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei. However, the hundred-legged insects of the Yuan family died but did not freeze, and Cao Cao failed to swallow Hebei for a while.

The strength of the Kwantung princes is not as good as Zhang Xiu, and it is a blessing that Zhang Xiu does not come to fight them, so he naturally does not dare to pull Zhang Xiu's tiger whiskers at this time. The external situation is very good. Internally, due to the problem of grain and grass, he could not go on the expedition, and after this period of time, Zhang Xiu also had to conquer the Hetao in the north and Yizhou in the south, and there was not much time to carry out reforms, so it was indeed a more appropriate time to use the situation that the internal and external conditions allowed to carry out the reform.

After Chen Songwang finished speaking, Zhang Jiang pretended to be curious and asked, "Jun Heng, what's going on with this nine-grade system?"

Chen Song nodded, took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, handed it to Hu Che'er, and asked him to show it to Zhang Xiu, and at the same time explained: "Nowadays, the official position of the Han Dynasty is all based on the rank of the official, and one person has multiple officials, so it becomes extremely chaotic, and it is even more inappropriate to just talk about the level of the official." Therefore, Song believes that when Ge is divided into nine grades with a total of eighteen ranks, and then divided into civil and military, the civil and military are not subordinate to each other and the civil and military officials cannot be concurrently held at the same time, only one general, or a person temporarily authorized by the general can mobilize the civil and military at the same time.

And the civil and military are divided according to the quality of the month, stable, small

As soon as everyone heard this, they still didn't know the purpose of this system, and the so-called change of the nine-grade system was just an excuse, after all, a new system must have a new way to determine the level of official positions, and the latter few sentences can only be transferred by the general and those who are temporarily authorized. That is to say, the civil official rank chief has no right to transfer the lowest-grade military attaché, today Chen Song can only be transferred by the general, and he can naturally change it to only the emperor can be transferred.

But now the situation of the Han Dynasty is like this, even if the people in the world are loyal to the Han family, they can't see the opportunity for the revival of the Han family, and the general trend is like this, and the so-called revival of the Han family is just a pretext and an excuse. Everyone understands this truth, and they have followed Zhang Xiu for so long, and they have all been labeled as Zhang Xiu, even if they want to take refuge in the Han family, which one will believe it. Now they have no way out, they can only support Zhang Xiu, if Zhang Xiu can unify the world in the future and ascend the throne as the emperor, then they are all the founding heroes, of course, if they are defeated, they will be chaotic ministers and thieves. Whether you want to go down in history or want to be stinking for 10,000 years, this choice goes without saying that everyone knows how to choose.

The people who settled down and thought about the system proposed by Chen Song carefully, which was actually to move the civil and military division that Zhang Xiu had previously set in the local area to the mansion of the general of the Fat Cavalry. It is difficult for both Wenchen and military generals to dominate, if Wenchen threatens Zhang Xiu, then Zhang Xiu can transfer troops to deal with it, on the contrary, if the military generals are alone, then cut off money and food. Of course, it cannot be said that this will definitely prevent the commission of disorder, but the risk of committing a crime is still reduced a lot.

After listening to Chen Song's explanation, everyone nodded, this nine-grade system is obviously to protect the rights of Zhang Xiu and his Zhang family's descendants, since they chose Zhang Xiu, they naturally will not object, and this can also try to avoid civil strife, such as the current chaos among the princes

Chen Song has already started. The crowd agreed. Zhang Xiu no longer went around in circles, and directly said that he wanted to change the system, and first assigned political affairs to six ministries, which were the household department, the officials department, the rite department, the criminal department, the Ministry of industry and the degree branch. The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of household registration, population, and civil affairs, the Ministry of Officials is in charge of official promotions, assessments, and other matters, the Ministry of Rites is mainly in charge of the imperial examinations and the reception of envoys of the Son of Heaven and princes, the Criminal Department is in charge of executions, arresting criminals, etc., the Ministry of Works is naturally in charge of large and small projects under Zhang Xiu's rule, and the Degree Branch is in charge of all financial revenues and expenditures.

Why, the six departments are naturally Zhang Xiu from the six departments of the three provinces in the later generations, among them, because the power of the household department is relatively large, so the right of the household department to collect taxes and financial expenditures is divided into the degree branch, and the household department is mainly in charge of civil affairs. The functions of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Industry have not changed much. The military department was divided separately due to the division of civil and military affairs, and the degree branch that was separated from the household department was added to it. As for the Criminal Department, its original power to independently revise the criminal law and determine the punishment was also cut by Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu's consent was required to revise the criminal law. Of course, all six departments can put forward reasonable requirements and ways to deal with Zhang Xiu, and these are not much to say.

For the six departments, Zhang Xiu also put all of them under the jurisdiction of Shangshu Province, which belongs to the second grade, which is actually equivalent to the great Situ of the imperial court, but the name naturally cannot be called this, so he used the name of the history of the general of the fat cavalry, and the person who held this position was naturally Zhong Chai Zhong Yuanchang.

Although the six ministries are only executed, the post of Shi Shi, the head of the General Fat Cavalry, has real power and can discuss politics with Zhang Xiu, of course, he does not have the power to make a separate order. As for the post of lieutenant of Si Li, Zhuge Jin, whose ability to govern is no less than Zhong Xuan, took over. And the six ministers, all belong to the three products. Chen Song was in charge of the household department, although Chen Song was also good at strategy, but his learning was closest to Zhang Xiu, and it was best for him to assist Zhong Feng in handling civil affairs when he was young. The Ministry of Officials is in charge of Chen Gong, and the Ministry of Rites continues to be handed over to the old man Cai, who is nearly seventy years old but still old and strong, Zhang Xiu didn't really want Cai Yi to take this position, after all, he is old, but first, there is no one under his command who can control the scene, and secondly, Cai Yi also insisted, so Zhang Xiu had to agree. And the Ministry of Industry is naturally responsible for Ma Jun, the Ming family, and the degree branch is not much in charge, so Zhong Xuan's original deputy Yan Pu is in charge. In the end, the criminal department was handed over to Cheng Gongying, who was still far away in Yizhou and had not returned, and Zhong Ci was temporarily in charge before Cheng Gongying returned.

The civil affairs department is in charge of Shangshu Province, then the military administration is in charge of the newly established military aircraft department, and all the generals under Zhang Xiu are all included in the military aircraft department. The military division's sacrificial wine is generally the second product in the nine grades and Shangshu Province, and the deputy military division of Fazheng also has the third grade. As for the general where Zhao Yun lives, he is also classified as the second grade, which is temporarily the highest under Zhang Xiu, and as for the first grade, he is naturally Zhang Xiu, the fat general.

In addition to civil affairs and military affairs, of course, there are also sentencing and supervision. Historically, sentencing and sentencing were under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department, but in order to prevent the Criminal Department from abusing lynching, the sentencing and sentencing were separated, and the Criminal Department was only responsible for enforcement. As for sentencing and sentencing, a separate judicial ministry was established to deal with it, and the judicial ministry of sentencing and sentencing was suddenly raised to the same level as Shangshu Province. The governor of the Ministry of Justice transferred Du Ji, who was known for his fairness, back to Chang'an to take charge, and Gyeonggi was naturally the second grade, and the Liangzhou Assassin was served by Yin Zhang of Henan, and the government affairs of the entire Henan were directly handed over to Zhuge Jin, the commander of Chang'an. After all, there is Luoyang in Henan, so Zhang Xiu has long wanted to include it in the Sili Lieutenant to deal with it personally, but because Zhong Xuan has too many affairs, it is difficult to take over, and now he just takes this opportunity to take Luoyang into his direct subordination.

The last supervision department is the newly established Ministry of Taiwan and the Ministry of Admonition, both of which are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Entry, and the governor of the province is Yang Zhuo, who has always been in charge of the Department of Supervision. The Taiwan officials in this department are mainly to impeach Zhang Xiu's officials of all sizes, and they can do whatever they want, but after the impeachment, the Taiwan officials do not have the power to deal with it, and the grade of this official is not high, and it is only the sixth grade.

The role of the counselor is to impeach Zhang Xiu himself, as long as Zhang Xiu has any recommendation mistakes, the counselor can jump out and enter the advice, and Zhang Xiu and a group of officials in Shangshu Province discuss matters, the counselor can also be present, if Zhang Xiu handles the civil affairs improperly, the counselor can enter the advice, of course, when discussing the military situation, the counselor can leave according to the situation. Moreover, Zhang Xiu also gave the counselor a privilege, that is, to avoid death. Of course, this exemption from death is not that he can avoid death if he commits a crime, but that the admonition of the official angered Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu cannot kill him out of anger, in fact, this article is more for Zhang Xiu's descendants.

In this way, the ministry is responsible for crimes between officials, and the criminal department is responsible for problems among the people. However, no matter whether the Ministry of Men or the Ministry of Criminal Justice wants to arrest or verify a person, they must obtain permission from the Ministry of Justice before they can be executed, and lynching cannot be abused after arrest or at the time of verification.

This is the new system set up by Zhang Xiu, a new three provinces and six ministries plus a military aircraft department. Each of these brand-new three provinces and six ministries does not have excessive powers, and they also separate the supervision department from the sentencing and sentencing departments, preventing collusion and interference, and putting an end to corruption and other behaviors to the greatest extent. And Zhang Xiu also has a lot of restrictions on himself, the official is one, and there is the implementation of civil affairs, if everyone in Shangshu Province does not agree with Zhang Xiu's method of governance, Zhang Xiu's proposed method can not be passed, and it needs to be revised again, if it cannot be passed three times in a row, Zhang Xiu can be forced to pass directly. Of course, there is very little chance of this situation happening, after all, no one will have so many people join forces to oppose Zhang Xiu, as for Shangshu Province, although there is only Zhong Xuan now, it will naturally continue to increase in the future. Yo and tomorrow's young grandchildren, it's really hard to find information and connect in series, so I hope everyone subscribes, and asks for subscriptions and rewards, as for the system there may be loopholes, this is for sure, "There is no perfect system in the world, if there are loopholes, I hope you point out that these two chapters can be regarded as expressing the best ancient political system in the little brother's ideals."
