766 The Third Reich of the Han Dynasty was going out
Although the big man is still a big man, it seems that he has really changed a lot, and Liu Bei has made the big man he was familiar with in the past no longer familiar.
There are a lot of things to do with the layoffs and mergers between major departments, and the transfer of many personnel takes time to coordinate, but the government affairs during this period cannot but be handled, so the Luoyang Imperial Court is indeed in chaos in a certain sense.
This point was already raised when Liu Bei held a meeting, but Liu Bei's will was very resolute.
"The court has to change sooner or later, late change is not as good as early change, slow change is better than fast change, do it faster, do it earlier, it's better than slow movement! So, get it all moving! Don't stop for a moment! I'm sure you can! ”
Liu Bei shouted the slogan, and performed a powerful KFC Dafa on the officials, exerting his super ability in speeches, and attacking with mouth cannons made the officials throw off their legs and run wildly.
Of course, just saying or not doing is never Liu Bei's character.
When the Luoyang Imperial Court fell into a certain degree of chaos due to the merger of departments and the transfer of personnel, Liu Bei and the cabinet stood up and played a major role.
Liu Bei, with the respect of the emperor, led more than 200 cabinet members, with the Chongde Hall as the office, opened the posture, and turned the Chongde Hall into a temporary government affairs processing hall.
Anyway, he is the emperor, no matter what other departments do, they only do their own things, only he, the emperor, because of his unlimited power, can do everything, and he can directly issue orders to various departments.
In the whole decision-making process, Liu Bei was covered by himself.
It was also at this time that Liu Bei exerted his strong spiritual strength and subjective initiative, and ordered the cabinet members to help him classify the things to be dealt with, sort them according to the criticality of the matter, and deal with them little by little from important to unimportant.
If you can't see it with your eyes, let people read it to yourself, close your eyes and rest your mind, and then make a decision.
The handwriting was sour, so let the cabinet members led by Chen Qun listen to his dictation, and then copy it on paper, and after Liu Bei's confirmation, he directly covered and uploaded the national jade seal, and directly handled it and put it into practice.
When the Luoyang court was in chaos, it was Liu Bei who led the cabinet members to move forward bravely, from morning to night, without stopping, and finally successfully survived the most chaotic period of the Luoyang court with 007 high-intensity work.
They ushered in the dawn.
That is, during Liu Bei's reign, the six departments of the General's Mansion had actually become the central organ of the Han Empire, and now after it was changed to eight departments and officially became the decision-making body of the imperial court, the operation of the central court of the Han Empire did not fall into the paralysis that some people feared.
Busy is very busy, and there is chaos, but to say that it is paralyzed, it is too much to look down on Liu Bei himself and his elite cabinet members.
Other departments are not waste, the team is ready-made, and the personnel who handle affairs are also ready-made, but some responsibilities need to be divided.
Each department under the eight departments also needs to divide the detailed rules, and then organize the documents and files, take care of the office space, go through the doors and alleys with each other, understand the location and responsibilities of the other party, and clarify their own responsible persons and the relationship between superiors and subordinates, etc.
It all takes time and a lot of human interaction.
Fortunately, everyone is Liu Bei's person, and they all mixed together, and there is still at least political mutual trust between them.
After a month of jumping chickens, flying dogs, and jumping, the major departments and officials finally finished sorting out the things to be sorted out, and they also had a preliminary understanding of each other.
They knew where the eight departments were working, what other subordinate departments were, who each other's chief executives were, who the second-in-command and third-in-command were, what specific things they handled, and how many official transactions they would have with each other in the future.
As a result, the Luoyang Imperial Court, which was running with the eight departments as the infrastructure, finally settled down a little, and there was no need to hear someone crying and howling like a wolf every day and sighing that life was not easy.
But in the final analysis, during this period, the fact that Liu Bei led the cabinet members to sweatshop-like work with the respect of the emperor is still in front of everyone.
When everyone can't handle affairs normally, Liu Bei, the emperor, is really making efforts and is really working hard.
So everyone has nothing to complain about, and after the finishing is almost done, the operation of the Eight Classics begins.
With the experience of the operation of the six departments of the Great General's Mansion in the past, the operation of the new system of the eight departments is not jerky, and can even be regarded as targeted.
By mid-to-late October of the fifth year of Jian'an, all central officials had begun to get used to the new imperial court running on the basis of eight ministries.
The bureaucrats are remarkably adaptable, especially when someone threatens them with a whip in the back, and they adapt faster than anyone else.
At the same time, the infrastructure of Sili Prefecture and Yongzhou has almost been completed, and the two newly established administrative divisions are also on track.
The initial chicken-fly-dog jump ended, and from the beginning of November of the fifth year of Jian'an, the chaotic period of the Luoyang center ended, the political order returned to the right track, and the burden of government affairs on Liu Bei, the emperor, was also lightened all of a sudden.
The eight Shangshu have their own duties, and they take their subordinates to handle a lot of government affairs for the imperial court, and there are not so many affairs that Liu Bei needs to handle in person, at least it will not be so complicated, and they will come to him in every detail.
Despite this, with Liu Bei's diligence and the situation he was observing at the moment, he could not tolerate being idle at all.
Therefore, Liu Bei announced the simplification of the process of going to the court, and set the early dynasty to be carried out every day, but made it an existence similar to the small meeting of the later dynasty.
The heads of major departments go to Chongde Hall at about 8 o'clock in the morning every day to discuss yesterday's affairs with Liu Bei, participate in government affairs meetings for about an hour, and then start their normal work for the day.
Liu Bei said that he needed to know the general things to be done and the general progress of each department, in addition, he had a lot of things to do that he had to make his own decisions, so he was very busy, basically his eyes were closed, and the day passed.
Although the Third Empire of the Han Dynasty was not a country that was established after destroying the world, Liu Bei needed to do a lot of things, and although a new political system had been established, many things needed to be dealt with.
The sudden change in the political logic that has been in operation for nearly 200 years is a difficult thing for both the central and local governments.
That is to say, Liu Bei's military force is strong, and there are still strong garrisons in the local area, with a strong garrison and excellent combat achievements as the foundation, this can promote this large-scale political reform.
The reform is completed, and it takes time for daily operation to change from rustiness to habit, and during this period, although Liu Bei's burden is not as heavy as before, he still needs to give the entire court a cover.
It became common for the cabinet to work overtime, and it was also common for the emperor to work overtime himself.
To be precise, at this stage, the entire Han Empire was in a relatively turbulent run-in period, and the turmoil and run-in of the central court would be magnified to the locality, and the farther away from Luoyang, the greater the degree of turmoil, if it were not for a strong army, this turmoil would probably lead to more direct consequences.
However, with the army, this situation will be contained to a certain extent, and force is the number one force in this world, and with the deterrence of the most powerful force, many things that were originally unacceptable have become simpler.
The initial helplessness was followed by a relatively painful acceptance.
At this point, what is there not to accept?
Everyone has become an emperor, if you don't accept it, can you still resist?
Besides, Liu Bei's ability to govern the world is indeed something.
Not to mention anything else, the government conference gave some inexplicable hope to officials in some remote areas.
Previously, Liu Bei had announced as a general that the government conference could give everyone more than half a year to collect data and then hold it, but now although in addition to this matter, Liu Bei has not forgotten the matter of the government affairs conference.
In the manifesto to the world, officials are still required to continue to collect data, although the time is a little late due to force majeure, but this is not important.
He set the convening of the government affairs conference on the first day of March next year, that is, the first day of March in the first year of Zhenguan.
The policy he promoted before will not be terminated, and the transition from general to emperor is a relatively smooth thing, which means that Liu Bei's strategy of governing will not change, and the government affairs conference and the official elimination system will continue.
In the last two months of the fifth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei promoted the run-in of personnel under the new system, and at the same time gave the imperial court a cover, leading the cabinet to work crazy overtime to maintain the operation of the imperial court.
On the other hand, Liu Bei also took some time out of his mind to make some private and non-public arrangements for some things other than major policies.
For example, in terms of espionage and intelligence.
Dongyuan is a ready-made intelligence organization, which originally belonged to two parts, one part to the inside of Luoyang City, one part to the outside of Luoyang City, the internal part to Zhang Rang's command, and the external to Liu Bei's command.
Zhang Rang took Dongyuan to infiltrate the homes of many officials and scholars into a sieve, providing Liu Bei with a lot of help and convenience, and those people didn't know how many Dongyuan spies there were in their homes until they died.
Even now, there are still many spies in Dongyuan who exist in the homes of officials and scholars, and continue to lurk as domestic servants, constantly providing information to Dongyuan and Zhang Rang.
Now that Liu Bei is the emperor, the intelligence organization has naturally become his possession.
And before that, not to mention the part he belonged to, there was something wrong with the part under the command of Zhang Rang, and some of the personnel were bought by the rest of the eunuchs at a high price and began to be double agents.
Therefore, Zhang Rang's management of the East Park is not completely without problems.
So this purge of the Ten Standing Servants is also a purge of the intelligence agencies, after the purge is over, Liu Bei asked Zhang Rang to hand over the command of Dongyuan, serve himself full-time, and become a thorough serving eunuch, and he doesn't have to worry about other things anymore.
The inheritance of the entire East Garden was handed over to Liu Hui, who was under the overall command of Liu Hui and carried out a wave of reorganization.
The name is still the same, it is called Dongyuan, and the organization is the same, the intelligence organization inside Luoyang City, the intelligence organization outside Luoyang City, in addition, Liu Bei also added one.
An intelligence agency outside the territory of the Han Dynasty.
It means that the East Park is divided into three sub-institutions, two in China and one abroad, and Liu Hui needs to carry out a new reorganization of the East Park after integrating all the manpower, and then assign and arrange the work.
During the reign of Liu Hong and the four auxiliary ministers, the contradictions in Luoyang City were prominent, and the conspiracies and struggles between each other emerged one after another, and the requirements for intelligence organizations were very high.
But in the new era, all the enemies were swept away by Liu Bei, the old factional disputes had disappeared, and the new factional disputes had not yet had time to appear, so the demand for intelligence organizations in Luoyang City was not high.
Of course, it's not that there isn't, it's just that there is no need to go to the point where Zhu Yuanzhang even pays attention to what the minister's family eats.
The intelligence agencies in Luoyang City are still mainly targeting civilian facilities and some domestic servant groups of key personnel, and the deployment of personnel in these two places can allow Liu Bei to understand the trend of public opinion between the official and the people, and it is almost the same.
The intelligence organizations outside Luoyang City are more in demand and more demanding, and they have the largest number of people among the three sub-agencies, and Liu Bei needs them to become another pair of eyes outside the official supervision system to help him monitor the actions of local bureaucrats.
To deal with this group of people, one pair of eyes is not enough, and another pair is needed, no matter how meaningful it is, yes, it is better than nothing.
This aspect was also Liu Hui's previous focus, but it was previously to collect military intelligence on his opponents for Liu Bei, and now it will be turned into political reconnaissance.
The third aspect is intelligence gathering abroad.
Liu Bei explained this work to Liu Hui very clearly.
The Third Reich of the Han Dynasty had to go out, and he couldn't stay where he was and do nothing, he had to go out, so he needed the intelligence organization to take the lead in exploring the way and groping the route.
For the Western Regions in the northwest, the body poison in the southwest, and many islands in the southeast, these three are important exploration areas, and Liu Hui needs to send enough people to explore the passages in various ways, explore places suitable for people to survive and develop agriculture, and draw maps by the way.
In short, the Dongyuan organization, which specialized in the investigation of political intrigues in Liu Hong's era, needs to be turned into an all-round intelligence exploration agency in Liu Bei's hands, and all intelligence must be collected, whether it is for the enemy or the unknown.
Liu Hui's identity will be the commander of the East Park of Zhong 2,000 Shi, but where the East Park is located, who is there, and what work it is engaged in will be completely secret and will not be announced to the public.
After excluding the eunuch forces from the intelligence organization, Liu Bei did not forget to reorganize the eunuch organization in the palace and make it more and more professional.
Although eunuchs are not a good existence, in the era of imperial power, this thing is the objective demand of the ruler, and it is inevitable.
Therefore, Liu Bei didn't think about deposing them, but he just needed some means in terms of how to use them.
And in a sense, eunuchs are indeed a barrier to imperial power, a strong emperor certainly does not have to worry about damage to power, but for a less powerful emperor, eunuchs are really his power barrier.
However, for Liu Bei at the moment, it is not necessary to use eunuchs to show power, he himself is a symbol of power, no one dares to disobey him, he needs eunuchs, mainly the needs of court life.
The Han Palace is too big, and many places need to be taken care of and maintained, and there are many things that can only be handed over to close eunuchs.
Zhang Rang is a skilled eunuch, before he became a powerful eunuch, he was able to stand out from so many eunuchs in the Han Palace and become the [father] that Liu Hong cared about, you can imagine how strong his professional ability is.
After Liu Bei took away his foreign-related powers, he still handed over the power to assist in the management of internal affairs.
