Chapter 172: Then let's take the prime minister first

Liu Ponu picked up the list that Violent Victory had just sorted out and looked at it.

It's okay not to look at it, but it swept it up at a glance, so that the well-informed Liu Ponu had to call it a good guy in an instant.

In the first place is none other than Shi Qing, the prime minister of the dynasty.

Is this bad old man addicted to masturbating to the prime minister or what's the matter?

Anyway, no matter what happens, the first unlucky one is definitely the prime minister.

He has been an emperor for so many years, but the prime minister who can still start and finish well under the bad old man seems to be unable to use up one hand.

If I'm not mistaken, Shi Qing should be about to burp, right?

And after Shi Qing's hiccup, the next lucky person is Gongsun He, it is said that when the bad old man asked Gongsun He to be the prime minister, Gongsun He cried bitterly and said that he was not capable enough and wanted to resign, but he was dragged by the bad old man and pressed in this position.

Outcome......

As a result, within a few years, Gongsun He's father and son both committed suicide, and the scene was very spectacular.

In addition to Shi Qing, the second place is of course Gongsun He, the lucky one who will become the prime minister next.

I have to say that this violent victory is really ruthless enough.

Since he was dragged into the water, this thing has become more ruthless than one move, Shi Qing and Gongsun He have an inextricable relationship with the prince, and this relationship is no longer something that can be reversed by interests.

Since we can't change their position, let's take the opportunity to eliminate them so that there won't be endless troubles.

"Tsk, it's a ruthless ......" Liu Ponu read all the lists, and had to admit that the violent victory was still a bit level.

It was possible to list all the prince's forces in such a short period of time, and those who were unlikely to be co-opted.

In other words, people have something to say, anyway, I listed everyone for you, you decide who is not correct, and the rest has nothing to do with me.

"Even his superiors have been pulled in, what else can he be if he is not ruthless?" Liu Che smiled and said disapprerovitically.

Although these are his own people, he still understands the truth of a son of heaven and a courtier.

If he wants Liu Ponu to take the position, then he has to accept the psychological preparation of his people to be purged.

If he doesn't want to, then he doesn't have to be in such a hurry to send Liu Ponu to the throne, anyway, when he dies, Liu Ponu won't be able to see him no matter what.

But Liu Che is partial and gives up the throne?

It seems to be a really difficult choice for Liu Che, but that doesn't mean he has no other way.

If he was a person who was greedy for imperial power and was reluctant to let go, then why did he go out on a tour every year before?

And it's the kind that goes for a few months?

Would a man who covets imperial power do such a thing?

Okay, even if you go out to parade to show the imperial power and go out to pretend to play, but as a person who is really greedy for imperial power, when facing this situation, shouldn't you directly take the court with you?

Just like Qin Shi Huang, he worked wherever he went, although he did not empty the entire court, but many people from various departments also went.

This is also the reason why Qin Shi Huang is called a waste of money every time he goes on a tour, as far as a team of his size basically collapses wherever he goes, eating, drinking, and Lazar or something are all of high standards, and the local government simply can't afford such a heavy burden.

But this kind of thing did not happen to Liu Che, and Liu Che went out on patrol more frequently than Qin Shi Huang, and although he also had the burden on the local government, it did not reach the point of unbearable.

It was also a patrol, but the result was completely different, and the fundamental reason was that Liu Che did not leave the Zhengge court and moved away, but only brought a small number of officials and part of the Yulin army.

The specific government affairs were handed over to the prince who stayed in Chang'an to deal with, so that the reception costs in various places were reduced, and the administrative costs did not change, so everything was within an acceptable range.

Abdicate?

Yes, but not recently, anyway, just give in before you die, I shouldn't be breaking my promise, right?

It's a big deal that I give him more power than Liu Ju, in Liu Ponu's words, I call it lying down to win......

Looking at the list in his hand, Liu Ponu began to gradually fall into deep thought.

The Three Princes and Jiuqing basically controlled more than ninety percent of the power of the Great Han, but the Great Han had not set up a Taiwei for many years, and the power of the Taiwei before had also been dispersed to the Great Sima.

The prime minister is very important, but the power of the prime minister is too great, why is it difficult for the prime minister under Liu Che to start and finish well?

Isn't it because the power in the hands of the prime minister is too great, and Liu Che is a very strong emperor, many problems that other emperors can tolerate have become unbearable problems in Liu Che's eyes, so doesn't the prime minister properly become a high-risk profession?

The Imperial Historian is better, but the Imperial Historian is often the prime minister's reserve, and when the prime minister is vacant ten times, at least five times are directly topped by the Imperial Historian, who made him the prime minister's deputy?

Who is not corrected, this is not a question that Liu Ponu should be concerned about.

Even if they have 10,000 wrong, then they will always be bad old men, and Liu Ponu will never stretch out a hand that should not be stretched out.

"Why don't we take this opportunity to directly make a change in the system of the imperial court, so as to strengthen the imperial power?" Liu Ponu thought about it seriously, and then said.

It's going to happen sooner or later, but now is an opportunity.

Many of the three princes and nine kings are on the list, as long as Liu Che can be ruthless, this is a big reshuffle.

Taking advantage of the reshuffle to directly implement the new system, the people who come up will not have too much resistance, and this is a special period, and no one dares to resist.

"Tell me more!" Liu Che squinted his eyes slightly, Liu Che also wanted to change the system or something, but he hadn't found an exact idea yet, but he had been doing it all the time to strengthen the imperial power, so he was also very interested in Liu Ponu's proposal.

"Let's just have three provinces and seven ministries to replace the current three public and nine secretary system!" Liu Ponu smiled slightly, the system of three provinces and six ministries has been verified for thousands of years and is already very mature, and there is no need to change it yourself, just copy it directly.

The reason why one was added is that in consideration of the next commercial operation, the extra is the Ministry of Commerce.

Liu Ponu does not have the kind of thinking of valuing agriculture and suppressing business, and of course he will not delay agriculture for the sake of developing commerce, it is not the system that is wrong, but the people, and no matter how good the system is, it needs people to implement it.

"The three provinces are Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province!"

"Zhongshu Province is responsible for drafting the edict, Menxia Province is responsible for promulgating and reviewing, and Shangshu Province is responsible for implementation, which reduces the possibility of mistakes and can divide the power into three!"

"The seven ministries are the Ministry of Officials, which are mainly responsible for the appointment and assessment management of officials."

"The Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for the management of household registration and financial management, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for ceremonial relations, the Ministry of War is responsible for military affairs, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is responsible for the adjudication of laws and regulations, the Ministry of Industry is responsible for all the work of craftsmen, and the Ministry of Commerce is mainly responsible for foreign trade and normal internal trade." Liu Ponu said suddenly.

Although the Ministry of Commerce was increased, Liu Ponu did not gain an inch, but focused on foreign trade.

Since the opening of the Western Regions Corridor, the Han Dynasty's foreign trade has become increasingly active, but it was all in charge of special personnel before, and no fixed department was planned.

Now Liu Ponu is just formalizing this kind of behavior, and at the same time bringing some private goods with him.

It is true that an agrarian society has the advantages of an agrarian society, but if it does not develop as an agrarian society, there will be problems.

The lessons of history have left deep scars on the Chinese people, and if they don't have a chance, they won't talk about it, but now that they have a chance, Liu Ponu wants to give it a try anyway.

The first is that the benefits brought by commerce are far higher than those of agriculture, and the people are worried that they will go to business and abandon agriculture, causing panic in the domestic food shortage.

The second is the policy of fooling the people, people will be cranky when they have money, and they will become more and more bold, and after a long time, no one dares to guarantee that something uncontrollable will not happen.

In other words, if you look at it, who shouts that they are valuing agriculture and suppressing business, which one has no means to make money?

Almost half of the people who shouted those words were involved in business activities of different behaviors, salt and iron were monopoly, and they couldn't get involved, but grain was not, most people were involved in food, and which one of them didn't make a lot of money?

Therefore, for the elites, valuing agriculture and suppressing business is the best of both worlds, which can not only stabilize the internal stability of the imperial court, but also allow them to make long-term profits and stabilize their social status, why not?

Of course, the emperor knew what they were thinking, but what if he knew?

Even the emperor did not dare to change this rashly, because the emperor could not guarantee that the implementation of commerce would lead to no one cultivating.

Liu Che is also seriously thinking about Liu Ponu's suggestion, reducing Jiuqing to seven, there must be resistance, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

Is it worth it just to do this?

Or is it necessary at this stage?

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Che finally shook his head and said: "The three provinces are okay, the seven departments will be temporarily relieved, I am afraid that those people will be stimulated and I can't stand it, and by the way, I will also leave something for your kid to do, lest I let your kid say that I am not kind!" ”

The three provinces divide the relative power, this is what Liu Che is willing to see, and it is also what he wants to do.

As for the rest, Lao Tzu has done everything, so what else do you want to do?

Besides, how many people do you have now? Even if I do this and carry this pot, you kid won't be able to fill this hole.

"Then let's take the prime minister first, it just so happens that I also want to see if the prime minister is worthy of this moral ......."
