In April of the twenty-seventh year of Jian'an, Liu Bei was established in Chengdu as the emperor, Feng Bu was the queen, Gan was the concubine, Liu Chan was the prince, and the year name was Zhang Wu.

At the same time, it was ordered to reform the central bureaucratic system, set up three provinces and six ministries, and strengthen the efficiency of the central administration.

It is divided into three provinces, Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Ling Zhuge Liang, Shangshu Province Shangshu Lingfa Zheng, and Menxia Province Servant Zhongpangtong.

In addition, the Imperial History Observatory was set up to supervise hundreds of officials, and Yu Chuan was the imperial historian and led the twelve inspections of the imperial history.

It is also divided into six departments in Shangshu Province, Xu Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Qin Mi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Xi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Dong He, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Liu Ba, the secretary of the household department, and Jian Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Each of the six ministries has its own departments, and the chief officers of each department are set up, and the structure of the six ministries is formed, which together form the central bureaucratic system.

This time, Liu Bei's official reform is only limited to the level of the central bureaucracy, after all, many things cannot be done in one step, especially at the local level, because the influence of the family is still very large, so it can only temporarily maintain the current structure and adjust step by step.

After all, it is still a three-point situation, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Xi, Fa Zheng and others are also afraid that the steps will be too big, and they will accidentally pull it, that is really the desire to cry without tears.

As for the military system, Liu Bei basically did not change, and he still used the Han system.

Worship Guan Yu as a general, fake festival, supervise Jingzhou military and political affairs.

Worship Zhang Fei as the general of the chariot cavalry, fake the festival, supervise the northern and southern armies, and rebuild the northern and southern armies of the Han Dynasty.

Worship Zhao Yun as a hussar general, fake festival, supervise the military and political affairs of Liangzhou.

Bai Ma Chao is the general of Wei and supervises the military and political affairs of Yongzhou.

After that, Liu Bei rewarded some of the meritorious personnel under his command.

For example, in Jingzhou, Liu Bei promoted Xu Shu to General Zuo and added Jingzhou Thorn History, Wang Ji was General Zhendong and Jiangling Taishou, Shi Bao was General Yangwu and Wuling Taishou, Ma Liang was Jingzhou Beijia, Xiangyang Taishou, Fei Yi, Yi Ji, Zhao Lei, etc. were all engaged in Jingzhou governance.

In Yizhou, Yang Hong was the assassin of Yizhou, Wu Yi was the central protector, Huang Quan was the right general and Hanzhong Taishou, Zhang Xi was the former general and the military department Shangshu, Li Yan was the rear general and the governor of Jiangzhou, Li Hui was the general of Zhennan and the governor of Jianning, and Meng was the general of Annan and Jianning Taishou.

In Yongzhou, in addition to Ma Chao, Wei Yan was promoted to the general of Zhenbei and the history of the assassin of Yongzhou, Jiang Xu was the general of Anbei and the governor of Yongzhou, and Ma Dai was the general of Yangwei and Sima of Yongzhou.

In Liangzhou, in addition to Zhao Yun, Xu Miao was promoted to the general of Zhenxi and the history of Liangzhou Thorn, and Pang De was promoted to the general of Anxi and the captain of Huqiang.

Another Xincheng County was established, Shangyong, Fangling, and Xicheng were combined into one, and Kou Feng was appointed as General Anhan and Xincheng Governor to garrison Shangyong, Dong Yun was General Xingye and Xincheng Taishou, and assisted Kou Feng to deal with Xincheng County government affairs, Meng Da was stationed in Xicheng for General Anton, and Shen Tan was stationed in Fangling for General Fuhan.

The rest of the generals, such as Wang Ping, Zhang Wei, Zhang Yi, Hao Zhao, etc., each had a reward.

Liu Bei ascended the throne as emperor and announced to the world, at this juncture, Cao Pi was of course furious. Why is Liu Xie not dead yet, which emperor are you Liu Bei called? !

Let's just say that this Liu Bei is not a good person, you see, now he exposes his ambitions. What Kuang Fu Han family, it is simply that he wants to be the emperor.

This is Cao Pi's true thoughts, he thinks that Liu Bei is a very good person, he can pretend when he was under his father, and he has not revealed his true nature until now.

Not long after he was proclaimed emperor, this Liu Bei followed the title of emperor, which made it clear that he would not give face to Da Wei, and he would not give himself face. Cao Pi really wanted to be a soldier and went to cut Liu Bei, an old boy, with two big ears.

But the problem is that Cao Pi himself knows that he can only think about it, after all, he has just been cut by Liu Bei in the northwest, and it has not been a year since this matter.

Even if Cao Pi is brainless, he knows that now is not the time to crusade against Liu Bei, who is not a subordinate.

But for Liu Bei's act of becoming emperor, Cao Pi couldn't help but respond, and he had to find a way to refute the legitimacy of Liu Bei's claim to be emperor.

Cao Pi is a person who can write the "Classics". He can refute literary classics, let alone a living person.

first gave Liu Bei a name of "arrogance to the emperor", denied the legitimacy of his inheritance of the Han family, and then started from the official reform after Liu Bei became the emperor, and gave him a charge of "destroying the ancestral system" As soon as he came up, he denied the system of three princes and nine secretaries that the Han Dynasty had implemented for more than 400 years, and he was embarrassed to say that he was inheriting the Han family? !

Dawei accepted the Zen concession of the Han Dynasty, but in terms of the official system, didn't it still completely copy the official system of the Han Dynasty, how could you, Liu Bei, a guy with the name of the Han family, dare to reform the system as soon as he became the emperor? !

Are you opposing the system formulated by the ancestors of the Han Dynasty?!

Then how can you be embarrassed to claim that you are a descendant of the Han family, how can you have the face to inherit the Han family?!

Yes, Cao Pi planned to start from these two aspects, launch the propaganda machine of the Great Wei, and completely deny Liu Bei's claim to be emperor.

Cao Pi is also a literary scholar, knowing that doing this kind of thing, you can't think of a play, and there is no Internet to spray Cao Pi and Liu Bei on the Internet these days, so to refute the legitimacy of Liu Bei's claim to be emperor, the best way is to write an article, and then send it to the world, and criticize the legitimacy of Liu Bei's claim to be emperor in the article.

Since you want to write an article, you must fully understand the other party before you can start writing.

There is no need to think much about "arrogating the emperor" or anything, whether it is from Cao Pi's position or from Liu Xie's point of view, this is a basic fact.

But the problem is that this "three provinces and six ministries system", the more Cao Pi researches, the more he thinks that this is a good system.

The three provinces make decisions, implement and supervise, and the six ministries perform their own duties, so that the emperor can not only ensure the centralization of power, but also disperse the power in the hands of the ministers, and most importantly, he can be held accountable and have a division, which greatly strengthens the administrative efficiency of the central government.

If you look back at those officials in your own house, you don't know what you should do every day, and these people who can delay everything they encounter, what are they going to do?!

Cao Pi took Sun Zihe and the exiled two people, and the more he studied, the more he felt that the "three provinces and six ministries system" was good, not to mention anything else, the administrative efficiency alone could be greatly improved.

If we cooperate with Chen Qun's Nine Rank Official Law to select talents, wouldn't it allow the state machine to run at a high speed and greatly improve its strength? !

Yes, at this time, Chen Qun had already proposed the Jiupin Official Law, and this law actually has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that some so-called celebrities and gentlemen who can only talk rhetorically and do not understand actual government affairs will be exposed in their true form, and talents who can really be used for the country will be selected.

But the disadvantage is that this nine-grade official law is too easy to be exploited by the wealthy families, as long as you master the official positions of the big and small, then I say whoever has the ability, who has the ability.

This caused the later situation of "no poor family in the upper grade, no wealthy family in the lower grade", the government was completely controlled by the family, and the emperor basically became a puppet.

The rebellion of the eight kings of the Jin Dynasty in later generations and the situation of "the king and the horse, sharing the world" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty are more or less related to this system.

But at this time, Cao Pi felt that as long as he could strengthen the administrative efficiency of the central government and strengthen the centralization of power, he could avoid the birth of this situation in which the family sat on the throne.

After all, the old Cao family started out, but it didn't completely rely on the family, Cao Cao even Kong Rong, while letting such a famous person in the world dare to kill, the old Cao family can still worry about this problem? !

On the one hand, it is to have a good relationship with the big families and make Cao Wei's rule more stable, and on the other hand, Cao Pi also has a practical need to change the efficiency of the central administration, so Cao Pi still has an appreciative attitude towards the Jiupin Official Law.

And now, Liu Bei's group's "three provinces and six ministries system" has made Cao Pi see a system to strengthen centralized power, and if it is paired with the selection of materials for the Nine Rank Official Law, it may be possible to greatly limit the defects of the Nine Rank Official Law.

As long as the emperor has centralized power in his hands, then the possibility of the family relying on the Nine Rank Official Law will be reduced. These two systems are a good match made in heaven.

It's just that this is a thing that Liu Bei came up with, and he is the emperor of Wei, and it's too late to refute his "disrespect for the ancestral system", how can he be cheeky and copy it directly?!

This one doesn't work, absolutely not. You have to find a way to put on a shell before you can use it yourself.

And in this regard, Sun Zihe and Exile are definitely experts.

These two people may have very average military talents, but their research on the political system is very in-depth, and they are good political talents.

After half a month of research, the two finally discovered that this system is actually an extension of the system of the three princes and nine secretaries, weakening the rights and functions of the three princes, refining and splitting the rights of the nine ministers, reorganizing them into six departments, and strengthening the rights of these six departments.

Generally speaking, it is to limit the responsibilities of the three princes and nine secretaries by splitting their rights, so that although there is a subordinate relationship between them, there is no dependency relationship, and all the sources of rights ultimately belong to the emperor.

If that's the case. Isn't it okay to borrow these cores and redefine the functions of the three princes and nine secretaries? !

Although the actual kernel has changed, it is still wearing the skin of the "ancestral system", we can still scold Liu Bei for not respecting the ancestral system and not being qualified to inherit the Han family.

After Cao Pi listened to Sun Zihe's suggestion of exile, he immediately laughed, and then secretly summoned Chen Qun, Liu Ye and others, and told Sun Zi and Liu Fang their ideas, and asked Chen Qun and Liu Ye to take people to study how to change this skin system.

It's not that Cao Pi doesn't trust Sun Zihe and the exile, it's that these two people are too young, and for the two of them to preside over such an important matter, they are not qualified at all, and no one will take this change seriously.

Only by letting veteran courtiers like Chen Qun and Liu Ye do these things is the most appropriate.

As for Sun Zi and exile. These two people still helped themselves think about it, how to write an article to scold Liu Bei.

And just when Cao Pi was thinking about how to refute Liu Bei and how to reform the system, another unlucky news came.

In October of the second year of the Huang dynasty of the Great Wei Dynasty, Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor in Wuchang, changed the Yuan Huangwu, established the country as Wu, and granted amnesty to the world. His father Sun Jian was posthumously honored as Emperor Wulie, his brother Sun Ce was posthumously honored as King Huan of Changsha, and Sun Edeng was appointed as the crown prince.

Cao Pi was immediately furious.
