Chapter 190: Reforming the Bureaucratic System

"One hundred and fifty-two years after the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, it suddenly fell apart, and there was a danger of being overhanged, the sin was not in the Cheng father and son, but in the demon queen disaster country, Erzhu tyranny, and black otter rebellion.

"In today's China, there are three legs, there are rebels and thieves in the west of the country, and there are puppet emperors in the east of the country.

"In this troubled era, the Great Wei Tiger is located in the north and south of the Yellow River, and the trust of the Son of Heaven is respected.

"Recently, Cheng read the history and felt that Qin annexed the six countries with the border land, so he was able to cover the Shang monarch into Qin.

"Cheng wants to emulate Shang Jun, change the law to seek strength, mix China, and open the Great Wei Dynasty for peace for all generations, what do you think?"

Gao Cheng sat on the main seat, chatted with a group of cronies and scribes in the hall, and asked everyone's opinions.

Since it is to change the law and reform, it is natural that the culprit of the split of the Northern Wei Dynasty cannot be counted on the head of Emperor Xiaowen, and he can only throw the pot to the Empress Dowager Hu and others.

Everyone present was Gao Cheng's henchmen, vying to agree, but Gao Cheng felt that something was missing.

I thought in my heart, when the court discussed, I had to arrange a trust, cry to Yuan Shanjian and complain that the law of the ancestors could not be changed, and then I would be deafened by myself:

'The sky is not enough to fear, people are not enough to be compassionate, and the law of the ancestors is not enough to keep!' ’

Gao Cheng thought about the script and immediately put it aside, and now the important thing is to negotiate reform matters with his cronies.

The change cannot be achieved overnight, and the stall cannot be rolled out all at once, but must be carried out in an orderly and gradual manner.

"General, the servant thinks that the first thing to change the law is to enrich the people, and if the people are rich, the treasury will be full, and the country will be safe, and the army can be trained and strengthened, so the servant asks the general to give priority to enriching the people."

Sima Zhang Liang of the Little General's Mansion retreated.

But Jin Yang, the servant of the ministry, did not have the same opinion, and I said-for-tat:

"Little general, government decrees need to be implemented by officials, Shangguan thinks that the first thing to change the law is to reform the official system, and if the power is turbid, then the government decree will be unimpeded, and Shangguan asks the little general to reform the official system first."

The cronies attending the meeting also united into two factions because of Zhang Liang and Jin Yang's suggestions, and expressed their opinions one after another.

Low Cheng rubbed his bare chin and groaned for a long time.

Liang Yi, as a servant of the ministry, asked to reform the official system first, which implied selfishness.

But it is also deeply in line with Low Cheng's mind, as Liang Yi said, no matter how good the decree is, it also needs to be implemented by officials.

It was destined to be a comprehensive and deepening reform, involving all aspects of the Xiao Wei government and the opposition.

The chaotic bureaucracy of the Northern Wei Dynasty today undoubtedly hinders the change of law.

Only by simplifying the complex and learning from the powers of the government can the officials be rewarded and punished in the process of changing the law, so as to ensure that the government decrees are implemented from the central government to the local governments.

Since there was no decision, Low Cheng expressed his support for Jinyang on the spot, thus ending the controversy.

Zhang Liang was also discouraged, what Jin Yang said was really unreasonable, it was just for official business.

Besides, as a person who has served Liang Yizhao in the past, but the lord has not adopted his own opinion, so he will be depressed, which I have long been depressed.

Although Low Cheng boasted that he played a decisive role in the rise of Duan Rong, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the first hero of Low Huan Jianyi was none other than Cui Xianzhao.

After all, the surrender of the eight towns was given by Cui Xianzhao, and the low Huan went east was also Cui Xianzhao's approval, and even Hu Sichun, He Basheng and others were forced to rebel by Cui Xianzhao.

Since it was decided that the reform of the official system should be the first priority, Low Cheng let the staff speak freely and talk about the shortcomings of the current official system.

The unanimous focus is on the twin tracks of the central authorities.

The Eight Gaolong system, inherited from the Qin and Han dynasties, has not been abolished, but the emerging eight provinces and eight ministries system has taken shape.

That also led to the emergence of two sets of leadership teams in the center of the court.

In the long reform of the bureaucratic system, the real power was gradually transferred to the eight provinces, and the system of the Eight Gaolong has been virtualized until now, but the power of opening the government has been retained, and the prefectures and temples that have not been disposed of have been established.

The cronies agree that the dual-track approach is full of low Cheng, and I think it's time for me to step forward and end the nearly 400-year-old system of the Eight Golongs.

At that time, he slowly added the country to Low Huan, and he was only to vacate his power, and he was also preparing for the abolition of the Eight Gaolong system.

Dong Zhuo is in Xiangguo, under the Eight Princes.

In any case, it can make the reputation of the low huan affected by the reform of the official system.

As the central secretary and the secretary of the order, the eight provinces have seven of them, and the establishment of the eight provinces and eight ministries as the only authority of the central government is also their own interest appeal.

The difficulty in abolishing the Eight Goloons system was to appease the officials who served.

The Eight Princes awarded the honor, although it is only a false position, but it is also an honor.

And for the officials of the temples in the Eight Gaolong system, the official position is even more fundamental.

In this regard, Low Cheng has long been unable to deal with it, so he has to use Du Bi again and the group of imperial historians under my command to defeat a group of non-low-party people who are either mediocre or too corrupt.

Vacate the position for placement.

Of course, it is not possible to persuade the elderly.

There is no way to vacate the position, and that is also where Low Cheng is not different from the few reformers in ancient times.

Low Cheng's power did not come from the Son of Heaven, but from my father, Low Huan, so I had to talk with Gao all night about the idea of reform.

Only when the two fathers and sons reach an agreement can they go south to Luoyang with peace of mind and show their strengths.

I need to worry about the opinions of scholars, and I don't even have the ability to fabricate accusations, so let's debate with Emperor Xiaowen on our own, whether we should change the law and try to be weak.

Of course, as a person who has no power, the use of power can be unscrupulous, and the practice of killing no one if no one can learn it is too rude, and who will dare to advise future generations to learn from it.

Cracking down on the corrupt and mediocre people, vacating their positions, and thus abolishing the Eight Golong system, is also a proper use of power.

After the abolition of the Eight Gaolong system, it is also necessary to take a step back and improve the eight provinces and eight ministries system.

Before discussing with his cronies, Low Cheng clarified the principles of decision-making in Zhongshu Province, review in Door Province, and implementation in Shangshu Province.

Why has the low Cheng review never been reviewed by the Provincial Government?

In the first year of Taichang (532), on the suggestion of low Cheng, Yuan Shanjian, who was supported by low Huan, repaid the favor with a peach, and awarded the eight divisions of low Cheng and Kaifuyi.

And the servant is the provincial magistrate of the door, so it can be understood why the low cadres are depressed because they lost their position in the waiter.

The reason why it is only said that Low Cheng controlled the two provinces of Zhongshu and Shangshu was because before Liang Yi took power, the scale of seven or less servants was maintained for a long time.

Because Sima Ziru came out of Luo, he was transferred to the state assassin and stepped down from the post of servant.

Now there are only eight servants in Luoyang City, including Low Cheng, Low Longzhi, and Gong Jiuqing.

However, due to the merit of stabilizing the Gao family, Sun Teng will be transferred to Luoyang, and he will be awarded the title of Taibao, one of the eight divisions.

And Gao Cheng, who went to Luoyang to recuperate, was also awarded the post of servant, plus the post of Situ, one of the eight dukes.

Low Cheng has no ambition for power, and now among the eight provinces, there are no two provinces in his hands, and I plan to completely control the province of Menshang, and truly integrate decision-making, review, and execution.

In this way, it is necessary to change the situation in which the seven attendants coexist.

But those seven people are all the henchmen of the father and son of Low Huan and Low Cheng, and it is possible to take suppressive measures no matter what.

What can be done is not to replace official positions.

Since Low Cheng was appointed as the supervisor of the middle school, his authority was the same as that of him, and the slightly inferior Zhongshu Ling dared to be in the same column as me, and he could learn to invite the old man to return to his hometown.

Low Cheng also intended to change Gao Cheng from Shizhong and Situ to Zhongshu Ling.

My uncle didn't come to Luoyang to recuperate, but to fight for power with himself as a Zhongshu Ling.

And Zhongshu Ling is also categorically insulting Gao Cheng's identity.

Of the seven attendants, only seven remained.

Low Cheng left his staff to continue to discuss in the small hall, and he went to the palace wing room to write a letter to Low Huan on the escort of Low Ji Shi and others, asking me to vacate the corresponding position for the left servant of Shangshu and Liang Yicai in the Gao family, and transfer him to the north.

That is also a convenience brought by the ordinary system of Duan Rong Liang Yi - Luoyang military and political seven-yuan system.

Whether officials are transferred to Liang Yi or served in Luoyang, they will be regarded as being expelled from the central government.

Low Cheng can learn from Low Huan will make corresponding arrangements, and it is not difficult to place a Liang Yicai in the small Xiangguo Mansion and Zhongli Mansion.

Besides, Liang Yicai has also been in Luoyang for seven or eight years, and it is time to make a transfer.

In a letter, one of the seven attendants went to one of them, and only eight people remained, namely Low Cheng, Low Longzhi, and Sun Teng, who was about to go south before receiving the order from Luoyang.

Gong Jiuqing's dismissal will only add a position in the middle of the waiter, and it can also vacate the position of Shangshu's left servant.

Low Cheng plans to use that position to make a replacement with Sun Teng, and change me from the servant to the left servant of Shangshu, and in the case of Shangshu Ling Low Cheng staying in Zhongshu Province for a long time, he and the right servant will shoot low and long, and exercise power on his behalf.

That operation can also make one more of the only eight remaining attendants, leaving only Low Cheng and my faithful uncle, Low Longzhi.

The original intention of the Western Jin Dynasty to set up the door province was restored, and two people were set up to take charge of the door and the province.

And Low Longzhi does not have the position of Shangshu's right servant, so he must live in Shangshu Province for a long time, arrange the implementation of various affairs, and must have time to separate.

That situation also means that Low Cheng only needs to appoint a henchman as the Yellow Gate Squire, and he can completely control the Door Province.

In this way, in the real sense, it will concentrate the power of the eight provinces of books, books, and doors.

Every time the imperial court promulgates a decree, it must go through such a set of processes: low Cheng makes decisions and approves them as the middle secretary; Then I will review it myself as a servant; In the end, it was sent to Shangshu Province, and I, as Shangshu Ling, instructed Shangshu's right and left servants to arrange for the specific implementation of the eight departments.

And the candidate for the Yellow Gate Squire, Low Cheng is also firm between Chang Shi Cui Ang and the Lord Bo Wen Zisheng.

Low Cheng instructed his relatives to arrange for the letter to be sent to Gao's and then back to the chapel.

Outside the house, the discussion on the reform of the official system was in full swing, and when they saw Low Cheng coming back, they also stopped talking.

Of course, the reform of the bureaucratic system may end with the abolition of the Eight Golong system.

Low Cheng sat back on the throne and suddenly said to the shogunate chief Striang:

"Huaiyuan, he hasn't been running around in your shogunate for a few years, and it's time to take up his post in the curtain, do you want him to serve as the squire of the Yellow Gate, is he willing?"

When Cui Ang heard this, he was happy and self-defeating, and hurriedly answered the order.

Low Cheng said to Wen Zisheng again:

"Huaiyuan came out to serve, and Changshi was replaced by Pengju, as for the position of the master Bo left by Pengju......"

Low Cheng looked around, and finally landed his gaze under Zhang Shiqi.

There are also two chapters in the evening and in the evening.
