Since the restoration of the feudal system in the Han Dynasty, there have been constant contradictions between the emperor and the vassal states.

After hundreds of years of internal struggle, the emperor finally reduced the strength of the vassal states, and even became weaker and weaker.

Although the vassal states were nominally the personal domains of the princes, the emperor never lowered his guard against the vassal states.

The official positions of state ministers have always been directly appointed by the imperial court, and these officials sent by the imperial court are to monitor the princes and kings, limit their rebellion to the greatest extent, and even be discovered when they are still in the preparation period.

And the other purpose is to educate the people, the education here is not to teach them to read and write, but to constantly strengthen their subconscious, to make their consciousness deeply engraved that they are first the people of the Han Dynasty, and then the people of the princes and kings.

Liu Ponu didn't go too far into what Liu said, because he hadn't figured out how to operate the more detailed things.

But the basic strategy has been set, and all that remains is the details.

It is obviously impossible to let them go outside the territory without giving them some henchmen, and there is no need to keep too close monitoring of them when they go abroad, you only need to strictly monitor their development trends, and monitor whether they are developing in accordance with the rules set by the imperial court.

than the population?

They absolutely can't compare to this, compared to military power?

At least Liu Ponu dares to guarantee that in the next 100 years, no country in the world will dare to compete with the Han Dynasty for military strength.

So, where did the henchmen of the princes and kings come from?

Where does the starting population come from?

You can't let the princes and kings take their families to lead a group of natives outside the territory, right?

Proper migration is also necessary, so they can only move from their fiefdoms and let those who are willing to follow them go with them.

Therefore, Liu Ponu is now equivalent to the examiner drawing a test range for Liu Ju in advance, as long as he reviews the questions in this range well, he will definitely not do too badly when it comes to the exam.

After leaving from Shanglin Yuan, Liu Ju first went to Shufang Hall to say goodbye to the queen, and then went to Weiyang Palace to say goodbye to Liu Che.

And to Liu Ju's great surprise, this meeting actually made Liu Ju feel that familiar feeling, and what disappeared before seemed to be back.

Liu Che actually told Liu Ju that Jiaoxi was relatively large and had a large population, which was different from other vassal states, so in order to ensure Liu Ju's safety, he was specially allowed to have an army of 5,000 people, and in addition, he also sent an army of 1,000 people to escort Liu Ju to Jiaoxi.

After the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the upper limit of the number of troops under the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty was 2,000, but most of them ranged from a few hundred people, and their use also changed from combat to palace guards, ceremonial soldiers, and so on.

Following!

It's just dawning!

The ministers of the previous dynasty began to wait in an orderly line to enter the palace, and in front of the door of the east palace, dozens of carts were full, and thousands of soldiers were waiting quietly in a neat line.

When everyone started their day's work, Liu Ju left Chang'an City with his family and his family with extremely complicated feelings.

There were bursts of crying from time to time in the car, and none of the people who surrounded Liu Ju in the past were willing to come out to give him a ride at this moment.

This is really a long-standing sight......

The court meeting began normally, and Liu Che didn't have any nonsense, so he waved his hand directly and began to read out the edict to canonize Liu Ponu as the crown prince.

While reading the edict, Liu Che was quietly scanning the ministers below, he was here to stand on the platform for Liu Ponu today, and he was also here to find trouble.

He wanted to see if the group of people who cleaned up a few days ago scared them, and if not, Liu Che didn't mind cleaning up another group of people.

Judging from the results, the effect is not bad, at least no one dares to show a dissatisfied expression in the main hall.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Che announced that the era name would be changed to Taichu, and at the same time, the Taichu calendar would be officially implemented next year.

"Your Majesty, during this period of time, there is too much backlog of government affairs in the imperial court, and the hundred officials are a little at a loss, the country cannot be left without a picture for a day, please make a decision as soon as possible!" After the crown prince was established, Taichang Han Yannian stood up and asked for instructions.

The former prime minister Shi Qing was masturbated, but even if he got rid of a Shi Qing, it wouldn't have much impact, at least his deputy Yu Shi Dafu could still work normally.

But the imperial historian Ni Kuan was also frightened to return to his hometown, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was completely messed up.

The following urgent government affairs were sent to the emperor in a hurry, and ordinary government affairs were a large backlog waiting to be handled.

"Prince, you seem to have mentioned this to me before?" Liu Che looked at Liu Ponu with a fixed face.

"Father, the son said it!" Liu Ponu glanced at Liu Che, although he knew what Liu Che wanted to do as a bad old man, it stands to reason that he should be happy, but now he is full of research on gunpowder, if he didn't want to make himself the prince today, Liu Ponu would really be too lazy to come to this court.

Besides, it's not like you don't know what to do, bad old man, although I know you're trying to make me pretend to be this, but I still have to despise you fiercely.

"Erchen feels that the prime minister is too tired every day, and when he opens his eyes, he can't finish his heart, and he can't finish handling government affairs, and such an overload of work will inevitably lead to some mistakes, if it's one or two, it can be attributed to the prime minister's carelessness, but all of them are like this, which means that this is not a human problem, but a system problem."

"Since the problem has been discovered, of course, we must start to solve the problem, otherwise there will be a new prime minister in the future, and the problems that always appeared before will continue to appear, and the court can allow mistakes, but it is not allowed to always make mistakes on the same issue."

"And the Imperial Historian is in charge of the Imperial History Mansion, and the affairs in the Imperial History Mansion alone are enough for him to worry about, and it is not appropriate to distract him and assist the Prime Minister Zuo."

"Therefore, in order to share the pressure of the prime minister and avoid continuous mistakes in the work, Erchen suggested that the prime minister's office be divided into three, divided into Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province, and the three provinces are responsible for drafting edicts, reviewing edicts, and implementing government decrees."

"To put it simply, it is to subdivide things and make officials gradually become more professional, for example, if there is a disaster in a certain place, my father orders disaster relief, and the Zhongshu Province intends to recruit, and the Ministry of Men is responsible for reviewing and seeing whether this edict is appropriate, and whether there are any violations or unrealistic places."

"After passing the review, the edict will be passed to Shangshu Province, Shangshu Province feels that there is no problem after reading it, then start to implement the disaster relief procedures in accordance with the edict, and as the executive department, Shangshu Province is relatively the most aware of the situation in various places, for example, Shangshu Province knows that my family has no food, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province do not know this situation, through the edict to transfer food from my family, at this time Shangshu Province can explain the situation, and then send the edict back to let Zhongshu Province redraft the edict."

"In this way, every decree needs to be reviewed by three departments in three provinces, so that the probability of problems is very small, and there will be no embarrassing situation where the edict goes down, only to find that there is no food to adjust and no one is available."

"As for the Imperial Historian, Erchen thinks it's more important to concentrate on managing the affairs of the Imperial Mansion......" Liu Ponu Balabala said, and said in such detail.

Even some middle- and low-level officials who are not too sensitive can smell the meaning of Liu Ponu's words.

Doesn't this make it clear that he feels that the prime minister's power is too great, so he wants to take the opportunity to weaken the prime minister's power?

And this time he did it more ruthlessly than before, directly dividing the power of the prime minister into three, and by the way, cutting off the position of prime minister.

If it had been before, there would have been a lot of opposition.

That's the prime minister, who doesn't want to be the prime minister?

And who is qualified to be the prime minister, who is not an elder?

But now, everyone is eager to raise their limbs for this suggestion put forward by Liu Ponu.

Although the prime minister's power has been split into three, it has also added a lot of constraints to them, but you can't just look at the constraints and not see the benefits.

Each of the three provinces does not have absolute decision-making power, which means that the emperor can no longer let them take the blame as before, and he will not go to the prime minister to help the fun at every turn.

There are many people in the position of prime minister, but it does not include the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, if you want to say which position during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is hated the most, if you do a survey and statistics, the position of prime minister can definitely rank first.

There is no other reason, just because you have died enough, more than 20 years, unless you can die of old age in office before the emperor makes a move, or you are a salted fish from beginning to end, otherwise you will definitely not be able to escape this conclusion.

Liu Che has experienced a total of ten prime ministers since his reign, and six of them committed suicide or were killed, and Dou Ying, Tian Wei, Li Cai, Zhuang Qingzhai, Zhao Zhou, Shi Qing (not in history).

Seeing that things were wrong, a Wei Juan who ran away in advance, a puppet Xu Chang, and a salted fish Xue Ze.

These three can be said that except for the salted fish Xue Ze, who is basically worry-free, Wei Juan's life may not be guaranteed if he runs slowly, and Xu Chang is Liu Che is mood at that time If he was in a worse mood, he would be gone.

In the strict sense, among the ten ministers under Liu Che, only Gongsun Hong is the only one who is really good at the beginning and the end.

Gongsun Hong is good at figuring out the emperor's intentions, and always caters to the emperor's intentions in major matters, so he is called a hypocrite, and finally dies of illness in the prime minister's office, and is also the only prime minister who does not have to run away and is not settled.

Under this brilliant record, when Liu Che asked Gongsun He to be the prime minister after Shi Qing in history, it is not difficult to understand why Gongsun He cried.

Although the prime minister is good, but no one envies him, whenever there is a vacancy in the position of prime minister, those who are qualified, or almost qualified, will be nervous in their hearts, and silently say don't choose me, don't choose me.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the prince's analysis is very reasonable, and if he finds a problem, he should solve it, and he must not delay and let the problem develop......"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister supports the prince's proposal......"

"Ministers seconded the ......"

Liu Che looked at the group of people below with a speechless face, although I just want to suppress the prime minister and disperse the power of the prime minister, but you are acting like a plague one by one, am I so terrible?

Liu Che couldn't help but think of a joke that Liu Ponu once said to himself, nine prime ministers, no, now there are ten, and the one who can be deposed when I become my prime minister is the green smoke on the ancestral grave!

Every time I think of this joke, Liu Che is very depressed in my heart, I don't want to kill, but they have to stick their heads over to kill me one by one, what do you say I can do?

"Since this matter was proposed by the prince, let the prince draw up a preliminary list, and by the way, even the rank and some systems have also been ......" Liu Che waved his hand, and handed over the power of appointing and dismissing this official to Liu Ponu with a grudge on his face, although it still has to be reviewed in the end, but basically Liu Che will not doubt the list submitted by Liu Ponu, which can be regarded as his first sponsorship and support for Liu Ponu when he first became the prince!
