Chapter 742: Reform of the Political System?

Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming!

After deciding to trade with the Sea Clan, Li Tang finally decided to send Fan Li to the east to preside over the overall situation, and it was Zhuge Liang who had just entered Chang'an to replace Fan Li's worker.

When the emperor's decree was issued, the whole court was shocked, and many courtiers spoke out to stop it.

The left minister, the son of heaven, the chief hundred officials, one person under the ten thousand people, generally speaking, as long as you don't make mistakes, you can't easily replace them.

If it is not handled well, it is very likely to cause turmoil in the imperial court.

Even many courtiers were talking behind their backs, letting Li Tang unload the mill and kill the donkey.

Fortunately, the decree handed down soon after resolved the conflict.

"The emperor's decree, Feng Fan Li is the governor of the east, has the highest administrative power, judicial power, control officials and other rights in the eastern territory, and Feng Fan Li is the prince of the country, can open the government, and form a staff ......"

A large amount of real power fell from the sky and fell into the hands of Fan Li, making many ministers who felt worthless for Fan Li close their mouths, and the flashing light in their eyes became extremely hot.

The expatriate place, in the hearts of the people, has always been a symbol of punishment, demotion of officials, and no longer paying attention, but after this incident, they changed their original concepts.

Governor, open the government, form a staff......

Each word is a representative of power, an authority that everyone envies, and a symbol of the righteousness of the Holy Family.

"The emperor, the micro-ministers were frightened, and begged to take back the right to open the mansion and form a staff. In the imperial study, Fan Li, who was envied, knelt on the ground and said with a frightened face.

As the left minister, the person who has the most contact with Li Tang is also the person who is most familiar with the Tang Dynasty political system, and he knows that the essence of opening the government and forming a staff is to divide the monarchy.

Logically speaking, in the absolute monarchy and centralized government of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of decentralization system is impossible.

Once generated, it is either change or death......

"Fan Aiqing, you get up first!"

Li Tang was helpless, put down the scroll in his hand, stood up, helped Fan Li and explained: "The emperor knows what you are worried about. ”

"A few years ago, the emperor was too vigilant and always wanted to grasp everything in his hands, but now he finds that with the expansion of the territory, the original political system is no longer suitable for ......."

"A hundred thousand miles of territory, a million miles of territory, the emperor still has the energy to manage it, but what about the billion miles of territory, the trillion miles of territory in the future, the trillion miles of territory, the trillion miles of territory?

"Decentralization has become the ...... of the times"

"What the emperor is considering now is whether to use the official system to decentralize power, or to use the system to decentralize power!"

"This time, the establishment of a treaty port in the eastern territory is related to national taxation, and the emperor needs a trustworthy and capable person to sit in charge. In terms of qualifications and abilities, it is none other than Aiqing. ”

After helping Fan Li up, Li Tang walked to the wall and looked at the four territory maps, his face full of excitement.

The first one, the territory map of the original Qingxiao country!

The second one, a map of the territory of the four major countries!

The third one, occupy the Qi Tianhou Kingdom and expel the territory map of the ten imperial kingdoms!

The fourth map, which has just been hung, is hundreds of times more than the third map, and it is the territory map of the Eastern Continent.

Fan Li also stepped forward, looking at these maps, with tears in his eyes, inch by inch of mountains and rivers and inch of blood!

Those familiar territories were all taken from the hands of the enemy after countless days and nights of hard work and countless soldiers spilling their blood.

"Emperor, what is the decentralization of the official system, and what is the decentralization of the system?"

Looking at the country, Fan Li asked suspiciously, although he already had some guesses in his heart.

"The bureaucratic system of decentralization is to set up official positions, supervise each other, and achieve multiple separation of powers, such as the establishment of governors and directly governed institutions in local areas. And the decentralization of the system is to change the system, implement the sub-feudal system that you are familiar with, and divide the territory and canonize the vassals under the great unified country. ”

Li Tang said, his face was solemn, and his words revealed his incomprehensible feelings.

As an emperor, who wants to give up the power in their hands?

However, it is imperative to divide power, otherwise the territory is too vast to govern at all.

This is also the reason why the Tang Dynasty set up the capital protection palace in the previous life, and the Yuan Dynasty set up the Xuanzheng Yuan and implemented the provincial system.

"The emperor, Weichen suggests that the official system be decentralized!"

When Fan Li heard this, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly explained the reason: "Since ancient times, class differentiation has led to class struggle. If the system is decentralized, the inheritance system will greatly increase the class division. ”

"Nowadays, in the Tang Dynasty, slavery has just been abolished, and the class differentiation is not very obvious, at least in terms of status, creating a relatively peaceful social environment, and countless poor people have embarked on official careers ......"

"If the system is decentralized, it is to plant a time bomb in the era of peace, and it will not explode in a short time, but when our generation is no longer in power, after the transition of power, the shortcomings of the system will be completely exposed. ”

"To put it mildly, how many Chinese military officials can withstand the temptation to take power alone?"

"I'm afraid that it won't be long before the country we have worked so hard to build, just after the beginning of the prosperous era, will become a bubble, burst at the touch of a button, and become another Qingxiao country. ”

After Fan Li finished speaking, he was already kneeling on the ground, and his words seemed to be denying the separation of powers in the system, but in fact they were also denying the dictatorship.

This is also fortunate that the atmosphere of the Tang Kingdom is open, otherwise his words alone would be enough to be beheaded countless times.

"Okay, you retreat first, pack your bags tomorrow, go to the eastern territory, and open a trade ...... with the Sea Clan."

Li Tang was shocked by Fan Li's words, held back the anger in his heart, waved his hand and said, his face was a little cold.

"Yes!"

Fan Li's body trembled, slowly stood up, and exited the imperial study.

"Absolute power will create absolute corruption? This emperor does not believe it, one day, this emperor will find a way to establish an immortal capital, so that the Li family throne will be inherited forever ......"

Li Tang squinted his eyes and said firmly, a cold air swept in all directions, making the four territory maps freeze and shatter in an instant.

"The emperor, don't blame Weichen for saying too much, but Weichen wants to tell you that the system of decentralization cannot be implemented. How difficult is it to do this for the great cause of thousands of years and to pass it on for all generations? Unless, you will always be the king, and you will always be ...... saint."

Fan Li, who walked to the palace schoolyard, looked up at the sun and muttered to himself.

............

"Your Majesty, more than 300,000 scholars, have been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, and the Criminal Department is still playing, how should I be judged?"

Pouring into the Imperial Palace, the Heavenly Mirror Heavenly Commander looked tired, but he still reported meticulously.

"How do I try to judge? Summons, dismiss the criminal department Shangshu, and punish the three clans! In addition, the criminals in the heavenly prison, don't move, I have my own arrangements. ”

Emperor Xia smiled indifferently, treating the Shangshu family of the Criminal Department as beasts, no matter what the reason, they would be directly wiped out, which made the heart of the Heavenly Mirror Heavenly Commander who was kneeling on the ground tremble, this is tens of thousands of people!

But he didn't dare to object, so he could only accept the order tremblingly!

A day later, Emperor Xia entered the Heavenly Prison, stood among the prisoners, and performed the Law of the Bloody Emperor, killing more than 300,000 scholars, all of them, rich in blood, soaring into the sky, wandering resentful souls, and laughing all over the sky.
