65, solve the family
There are quite a few forces staring at the meatloaf of the sub-sealing officials.
Among them, the major families are the most.
Tang Yan fought so smoothly along the way, and it took six years less than the original Liu Yan'an to basically unify the world, and one of the reasons was because he accepted the olive branches handed by the major families without scruples.
It was cool to use at the time, but now the disadvantage appears.
The big and small families, because they all contributed to the new dynasty, naturally wanted to divide the meat.
But the normal trend of feudal dynasties should be the decline of the world. Tang Yan can't look at the new dynasty that he defeated with his own hands and turn back the wheel of history.
This kind of thing in the family only thinks about making profits for its own family, and it must be suppressed.
But it's not so easy to suppress these families.
Si Muyu and Bai Huankang, the top strategists who were not from a family, discussed in Tang Yan's house for a long time, and they didn't discuss a result.
Tang Yan looked at everyone's quarrel and smiled without saying a word.
It was Si Muyu who knew Tang Yan best, and arched his hand.
"Your Majesty has a clever plan."
Tang Yan: "I... Ahem, I have a plan, everyone Aiqing listens. ”
Everyone suddenly quieted down and waited quietly for Tang Yan to speak.
Tang Yan smiled and said, "It's better to use the weakening of my power as bait, what do you think?" ”
There is no need to say much between smart people, and the bottom are all top strategists, and they immediately understood the meaning of Tang Yan's words.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor wants to centralize power, and the family wants to share power, which will inevitably be contrary to the emperor's interests.
But now His Majesty wants to fight with the family and lose both, so that the imperial power and the authority of the family will be cut together.
And the power that was cut off is most likely to be distributed to Wenchen.
The people below are all Wenchen.
Everyone was thinking for a while, and they didn't know if His Majesty's words were true or false?
How can an emperor be willing to take the initiative to divide power?
Could it be that he was testing these ministers?
Smart people think a lot, and they agree with Tang Yan's proposal 120,000 points in their hearts, but when the words come to their mouths, they block them one after another.
Tang Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw everyone saying beautiful words.
Of course, she knew the thoughts of these ministers. But these ministers didn't know what she was thinking.
If she really traveled to this world, she would live here for the rest of her life. Whether it is for the sake of a more comfortable life in the future, or for the sake of fulfilling ambitions, it is necessary to strengthen the centralization of power.
In this case, when Tang Yan was fighting, he would not accept the olive branch thrown by the family. I'd rather drag the battle line for a few years than get stained with the family's dog skin plaster.
But now, she estimates that she will be able to complete the task and go home in a few years, so she can look at this matter from a very objective perspective.
Concentrate too much power on the emperor alone, if you meet a faint monarch, it is definitely the common people who suffer.
She has insight from the future, and she can't guarantee that every decision will be right in the long run, let alone the next emperor who is obsessed with the authorities.
So as early as a few years ago, when he accepted the olive branch of the family, Tang Yan thought about it, and he wanted to fight with the other party in terms of power, so that Wenchen and the people could benefit.
Tang Yan sighed softly.
She, a carefree female college student, when did she have such a deep and long-term mind? It's horrible.
I don't know if I can adapt to it when I return to campus life?
She ignored the obstruction of Si Muyu and the others, slapped the table lightly, and made a decision.
"The authority of this world cannot be concentrated in the hands of one person. I have made up my mind, so you don't need to persuade me anymore. ”
Everyone wanted to say something more, and Tang Yan directly moved on to the next topic.
"I called you over today, mainly to discuss the resumption of the imperial examination."
Originally, there was an imperial examination in the previous dynasty, but due to the war, it has been suspended for two sessions.
Moreover, the imperial examination of the previous dynasty was also different from the imperial examination in Tang Yan's impression, and its importance was much worse.
For example, in the aspect of conferring officials, only a small number of officials were selected for the imperial examination, and most officials still relied on their families to gain favor.
And Tang Yan wanted to increase the importance of the imperial examination and select students from poor families. It is also the most effective and long-lasting means against the Maison.
Tang Yan had a general understanding of the original ancient imperial examinations in her world, and proposed a large box, with Si Muyu and others responsible for filling in the details, and quickly completed the seven, seven, eight, eight, eight.
At the same time, the rank of officials continued to follow that of the previous dynasty, but some detailed differentiation was made in it, and the cabinet minister system was also added.
Tang Yan was ready to divide some of the rights that originally belonged to the emperor to several cabinet ministers.
Most of these officials will be selected from this year's imperial examination.
Except for the founding period, there will be some officials who are directly appointed by Tang Yan. In the future, all official positions in the imperial court, except for those with titles, must be filled by students who have passed the imperial examination.
By the time the imperial examination and official positions were decided, it was already getting dark.
Tang Yan left the ministers for dinner, and then sent the people out of the palace.
On the second day, he directly announced to the world that except for the officials in essential positions, they would be assigned by Tang Yan first. Other officials are temporarily vacant, and suitable candidates are selected by the imperial examination two months later.
And if you want to be an official in the future, unless you have a knighthood, you must go through the imperial examination.
This move immediately angered the major families.
The family will definitely not be able to defeat Tang Yan in terms of military strength, and it is impossible to fall out with Tang Yan on the surface, so they can only make a stumbling block for her in secret, so that the new emperor who does not know the height of the sky knows that the family is not easy to mess with.
But does Tang Yan care about this?
She didn't care that her authority was weakened by the family.
Because the weakened rights were not distributed to the family. Instead, he was assigned to civil officials by Si Muyu, Bai Liankang and other cabinet ministers.
This matter was tacitly approved by Tang Yan, and it was closely related to the interests of civilian officials.
So the old fox and the little fox all exerted 120,000 points of strength to suppress the family.
Tang Yan watched the power belonging to the emperor being weakened, and there was no wave in his heart.
also took advantage of the distribution of power by civilian officials, and helped the generals to win a lot of benefits.
At the same time, the power of officials is greater, but it cannot be left unsupervised.
Taking advantage of the convenience of mobile phones, Tang Yan launched a regulatory system.
That is, all students who pass the children's examination can score the local officials, and the scores are sent directly to the emperor's mobile phone, and the emperor sends them to the cabinet for the cabinet's reference.
This move was actually Tang Yan's distribution of power to ordinary people with a little knowledge. But Bai Liankang and others thought that His Majesty saw that they were too ruthless in dividing power and reminding everyone.
Everyone was very convinced by Tang Yan, so they stopped what they were doing.
As a result, a big drama of dividing power started vigorously and ended peacefully.
The greatest power is still in the hands of the emperor, but the cabinet ministers restrain the emperor, and the ordinary students restrain the local officials.
The worst thing is the family, who didn't get any power at all, and was busy in vain.
