Chapter 478: I Can't Get Used to It
In the end, Zhuge Liang had no choice, and spent nearly a month to summarize the new official system with the inspiration he gained from Zhang Xi and his own thinking, and formulated two parallel administrative systems, which were played to Liu Bei together in the names of Zhang Xi and Zhuge Liang.
This kind of thing, let Liu Bei make his own decision.
Whether to adopt the "cabinet" system, which is more beneficial to the imperial power, or to adopt the more familiar "three provinces and six ministries", and leave it to Liu Bei to weigh the pros and cons.
And Liu Bei also had a headache to think about it for a long time, and finally chose the "three provinces and six ministries system".
In fact, Liu Bei himself is more inclined to the "cabinet system", which can ensure that the emperor completely grasps the power, and there is no need to worry about the emergence of usurpers like Cao Cao and Wang Mang. Even a powerful minister like Huo Guang is unlikely to appear.
But considering the actual situation now, Liu Bei had to choose the latter.
Because now is a turbulent era, not a peaceful and prosperous era, not an era of stability, but an era that needs to forge ahead.
In addition, given the current power and influence of the clans, even if the "cabinet system" is adopted, there may be a situation in which the clans take turns to come to power.
With the consistent style and discipline of these families, they may defend the imperial power for their own rights, but more importantly, these people will still mainly protect the interests of the family, which is not a good thing for the people.
Even if one is not good, it is not impossible for the big families to unite to erect the imperial power.
Rather than this, Liu Bei should use the "three provinces and six ministries system", such a decentralized power, as long as the emperor is not a real waste, even if he understands a little bit of the principle of checks and balances, at least he can grasp some rights, so as not to be bullied.
Again, although the "Three Provinces and Six Ministries System" is not the same as the current system of three princes and nine secretaries, there are similarities in the case, and there is no need to make too many changes, but it is just a redivision of the functions of the three princes and the nine secretaries.
On the contrary, the "cabinet system" has nothing to do with the "three provinces and nine ministries" system, which is a product derived on the basis of the "three provinces and six ministries", and many people will not know what they should do if they rashly use the "cabinet system" to undertake the "three public and nine secretaries system".
After several back and forth considerations, Liu Bei still decided to adopt the "three provinces and six ministries system" to replace the "three princes and nine secretaries system".
Of course, the birth of a new bureaucracy is not such a simple matter.
It is impossible to say that Zhuge Liang has a table, Liu Bei can decide it in one sentence, and the imperial power in these years has not been strong enough to this extent.
Therefore, Liu Bei had to issue the new official system on Zhuge Liang's table to the main civil and military generals under his subordinates for discussion, and finally decided on the specific official system, and at the same time to give his subordinates a psychological preparation to know what they should do after the reform.
In fact, no matter which locality or class the interests of the people they represent, they all think it is quite good.
"Three Princes and Nine Secretaries System", in fact, the most important part is in the Three Publics, Jiuqing is often the right to suggest, there is no right to decide, and even some functions are subject to the constraints of the Three Publics, but the Three Princes only have three positions, and the pressure of competition is too great.
However, in the "three provinces and six ministries system", there are a total of nine positions that can be given to everyone.
Although the three provinces have a subordinate relationship with the six ministries, it does not mean that the three provinces can directly intervene in the decision-making of the six ministries, but only have the right to decide on the decisions of the six ministries.
Even when necessary, the emperor could directly bypass the three provinces and directly intervene in the decision-making of the six ministries. The six Shangshu are also an important part of the decision-making level of the imperial court.
This is much higher than Jiuqing's authority.
Although I feel that the "three provinces and six ministries system" has three fewer important positions than the "three public and nine secretaries system", the power in my hands is completely different.
This kind of restructuring is actually very popular within Liu Bei Group, and some people have even begun to move up and down to seek a suitable position.
For example, a figure like Xu Jing knows that his position within Liu Bei's group is not high, but his reputation is very high, and he can be regarded as a famous person in the world. If you don't fight for the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, you will be sorry for yourself.
You must know that the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is a very important position, and the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites are: the five rites of Kaoji, Jia, military, guest, and fierce; To manage the affairs of schools throughout the country and to monitor the affairs of talents and vassals and foreign countries.
The Ministry of Rites also has four divisions: the Department of Ceremonial and Cleaning Officials, which is in charge of the ceremony, military etiquette and the management of the state and county personnel inspection; The priest of the ancestral sacrifice is in charge of auspicious and murderous affairs; The host and guest clearance department, in charge of the guest ceremony and the reception of foreign guests; The fine food and cleaning officials are in charge of the affairs of the feast and the sacrifice.
Not to mention anything else, just one palm "inspection talent" is enough for the world's celebrities to fight for the head.
Really, let alone Xu Jing, it was Sima Hui who was far away in Jingzhou, if he wasn't too old to travel far, he would have wanted to go to Chengdu and compete with Xu Jing for the position of secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Speaking of this Sima Hui. Sima Hui, who should have died a long time ago in history, has been living more and more nourishing in Jingxiang's Yuelu Academy in recent years, except for receiving visiting Confucians on weekdays, he basically recuperates in the back mountain of Yuelu Academy, and occasionally goes to Qianshan to give lectures or something, and his small life is very comfortable.
It's just that I'm getting older and older, and it's not suitable for traveling far, and my family is not at ease, so I can only give up and let Xu Jing pick up this bargain.
But the more Sima Hui thought about it, the more angry he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was unpleasant, you Xu Jing, a master who went out of the city and surrendered, just this character, are you embarrassed to be the secretary of this Ministry of Rites? !
Sima Hui is a celebrity, and it is not good to read Xu Jing's black history on formal occasions, but in private, Sima Hui looks down on Xu Jing's style very much.
The more he thought about it, the more unhappy Sima Hui became, and sent someone to invite Yu Xuan.
Since the establishment of Yuelu Academy, because of Sima Hui's retention, Yu Flip has not returned to Jiangdong, and has stayed in Yuelu Academy Yu Flip can be regarded as seeing through, his stinky mouth, the first half of his life offended too many people, has been slandered, and the second half of his life in Jiangdong as an official is also a disgusting goods, up to Sun Quan Zhang Zhao, down to his subordinates, no one said that he was good.
If you continue to stay, a foul mouth will say something hateful and offend people who shouldn't be offended. It doesn't matter if you're yourself, but it's not good to implicate your family.
It's better to stay in Yuelu Academy, write books, give lectures, and spray whoever you want when you're fine, anyway, they're all junior disciples, who would dare to talk back? !
But now, Sima Hui invited Yu Tuo, and wanted to recommend Yu Tuo to re-emerge, and he was very hesitant to compete with Xu Jing for the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Yu Fang knows his temper, and his mouth is unforgiving, although he has been studying and writing notes in Yuelu Academy all these years, his reputation is far worse than Xu Jing.
Xu Jing's family can pretend, and their popularity is good, as soon as Xu Shao's "Yuedan Commentary" came out, some people followed and held stinky feet. He scolded too much in the first half of his life, and was scolded too much in the second half of his life, although he was also a great Confucian for a while, but his reputation really couldn't be compared to Xu Jing.
Another one, Yu Flip followed the Sun family before, and now he is out of the Liu clan Yu Flip is a Huiji person, and his family is in Jiangdong, is this really good?!
Then Sima Hui followed suit.
First, Sun Quan is a person, although he is not very particular about being a man, but he is also the lord of Jiangdong, and the bottom line is still there after all, and it is impossible to have any disadvantages to Yu Tuo's family because of Yu Tuo's Shi Liu Bei. If he didn't have this bearing, then Sun Quan would not be able to sit firmly in the position of the lord of Jiangdong.
Second, do you want to see that pretentious Xu Jing become the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?!
Xu Jing's goods, his life's knowledge is just like that, and his character is even more average, if such a person becomes the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, if Uncle Liu Huang rules the world in the future, then Xu Jing must not be the number one person in the world? !
Would you like to see this product become the number one person in the world?!
Don't say it, if Sima Hui says this to others, maybe someone will pretend about his reputation or influence. But Yu Translation will not.
Yu turned this person, his mouth is stinky, but his personality is also straight, and when he encounters people and things that he is not used to, he will spray if he wants to, and he doesn't look at who the target of the spray is.
Even Xu Jing's goods dare to covet the title of "the world's first celebrity"? !
Okay, it doesn't matter if we fight for this Ministry of Rites Shangshu or not, but if you don't spray this shameless Xu Jing, you are really sorry for your conscience.
In this way, Yu Chuan packed up his salutes, took Sima Hui's letter of recommendation, and went straight to Chengdu.
And Yu Xuan, who was in Jingzhou, knew that Liu Bei's group was reforming the official system, and Xu Jing was trying to "compete" for the position of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and it would not take long for the news to spread to Jiangdong and Sun Quan's ears.
Sun Quan didn't care at all about whether Yu Flip was going to find Xu Jing's stubble, and he wouldn't go to Liu Bei because of Yu Flip This troll Liu Bei felt that there was any pity Yu Flip Spray people are regardless of location and occasion, even Sun Quan was not less Splashed by Yu, Sun Quan wished that this thing would get out of here and challenge Liu Bei s blood pressure.
What Sun Quan really cares about is - why should Liu Bei change the official system if he has nothing to do?!
Combined with the previous incident of Cao Pi being the emperor in Yecheng, Sun Quan, who was not low in political IQ, suddenly realized what Liu Bei was going to do.
Liu Bei, that old boy, he wants to be the emperor.
So here's the problem.
Cao Pi's kid has already been called the emperor, and Liu Bei's old boy is about to be called the emperor and is also a part of the three-point world, why can't my Sun Quan also be called the emperor?!
The more Sun Quan thought about it, the more he felt excited.
