Chapter 440: The shortcomings of the Nine Qing System

"At your request." Zuo Wei's whole person was in high spirits, "Before that, let's first understand the Jiuqing system and the six-part system. ”

"Hmph, this is a well-known thing, you are embarrassed to say it." The West said disdainfully.

Zuo Wei sneered: "Since you know for sure, then let me ask you, which Jiuqing system is the Jiuqing, and what are they responsible for?" ”

"Rely on me?" The West sneered, "Are you worthy?" ”

Zuo Wei shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't want to test you either, but you said it yourself, everyone already knows about the Jiuqing system, but I think that there are many people who don't know which Jiuqing is and is responsible for those things in the imperial court." ”

Ying Zheng, who was in the private room, nodded slowly and said: "That's right, the people only know that the court has me, the first emperor, and the left and right prime ministers, and the rest only know that there are many big officials in the court, what positions these big officials are and what they are responsible for."

This left-back can think of this, and it seems that there is indeed some time. ”

Li Si said: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Fu Zikang said: "Your Majesty, the people know Jiuqing, otherwise the people would not go to the Tingwei Mansion to complain when something happens." ”

Ying Zheng bowed his head and said: "That's right." ”

At this time, in the hall, Zuo Wei continued to speak: "Jiuqing are Tingwei, Fengchang, Lang Zhongling, Weiwei, Taifu, Dianke, Zhili Neishi, Zongzheng and Shaofu.

Among them, Fengchang, in charge of the ceremonies of the temple, has a very high status, and belongs to the head of the nine Qings.

Lang Zhongling, in charge of palace guards; Lieutenant of the Guard, in charge of the palace gate guards; The servant, in charge of the palace and the state horse; Tingwei, who is in charge of judicial trials; pawn, in charge of foreign affairs and ethnic affairs; Zongzheng, in charge of the affairs of the royal family and the clan.

He was in charge of the tax and the treasury and revenues; Shaofu is in charge of the taxes of the mountains and seas and ponds and the handicrafts of the government that are exclusively used by the royal family.

It seems that Jiuqing was in charge of ceremonies, the guards of Xianyang City and the imperial palace, the management of the country's horses, as well as the laws, royal affairs, and so on.

And is there one of them who is in charge of the people? No, there are two, one is the law, and the court officer interrogates the people, and the other is taxation, and the history of the rule of Li Neishi collects grain from the people. ”

"The people naturally have the lives of the people, why does the imperial court have to manage so much. Besides,

Shouldn't the people break the law and let the court captain come to trial, and shouldn't the court collect taxes from the people? The West said angrily.

"Haha......" Zuo Wei laughed, "The officials don't think about the people, but let the people pay." Are you embarrassed, haven't you been called a good official for the country and the people?

The Jiuqing system is not an official for the people, not an official for the court, not an official for His Majesty, but an official for themselves and an official for the family. ”

"You're talking nonsense." The West said angrily.

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, everyone knows it." Zuo Wei said when he came.

"Under Liushui." Liu Shui looked at the people present one by one, and finally said to Zuo Wei, "Brother Zuo said that the officials of Jiuqing are not for the people. Only for yourself. I beg to differ.

If the officials of Jiuqing only care about themselves and ignore the people, how can the world be governed so peacefully and prosperously? ”

"A discerning person knows at a glance that this is the credit of His Majesty and the emperor. If it weren't for His Majesty's discerning eyes and knowing the emperor.

Do you think that we now have a quyuan plow, so much high-yield grain, and a lot of crops, and I heard that rice can also yield more than 300 catties per mu.

In addition, there are refined salt, weaving workshops and so on. ”

"Even so, it needs the help of hundreds of officials, how can it be possible to manage the entire world by relying on Your Majesty and the Emperor." Liu Shui said.

In the private room, Feng Chang bowed his head and said: "This son is reasonable, the whole world belongs to His Majesty, but without Weichen and others to help His Majesty, My Majesty will probably be busy." ”

Ying Zheng glanced at him and said, "I remember the merits of all Aiqing. ”

Li Si said: "Your Majesty is Shengming, but what Zuo Wei said also has a certain truth, all the official positions of Jiuqing are for Your Majesty and the imperial court, and there is absolutely no official position for the people."

As for the hundred officials, there must be.

But now it is the politics of the Jiuqing system and the six-ministry system, and for the hundred officials, the Jiuqing cannot represent the hundred officials.

However, the six ministries can represent the hundred officials, because the six ministries can solve the problem that most officials are under the jurisdiction of the six ministries. ”

Ying Zheng bowed his head and said, "Keep listening." ”

"No." The people answered.

Li Si and the others understood that Yingzheng didn't want to say it, but just wanted to listen to people outside.

in the hall.

Zuo Wei spoke again: "Brother Liu is right, among the hundred officials, there must be good officials who have the heart to be the people, just like the prime ministers of the left and right.

Li Si, the prime minister of Zuo, reformulated the Qin law for the people, greatly reduced the punishment system, and at the same time tailored the law for the people, so that everyone was willing to abide by the law.

and Prime Minister Zuo brought a lot of new farm tools to everyone, so that the people of the world have benefited a lot in agricultural affairs.

Now, if you go to the field and ask any common people, they will say that Prime Minister Zuo is good.

There is also the right prime minister, he knocked down the price of refined salt, and everyone thinks that the right prime minister is a great good person.

These are good officials, good officials who are masters of the people. ”

When Li Si and Feng Qujian heard this, the left guard in their hearts was a little happy.

Immediately afterwards, Zuo Wei said: "Brother Liu, now we are talking about the nine-secretary system and the six-ministry system, not the hundred officials.

Therefore, Brother Liu replaced the Jiuqing officials with hundreds of officials. Do you think that Jiuqing officials can be worth hundreds of officials, or are hundreds of officials inferior to Jiuqing officials? ”

"Good fellows. This is to provoke contradictions between the officials of Jiuqing and the hundred officials. Feng Quji's heart thought. 33

Everyone in the private room also felt that Zuo Wei was provoking Jiuqing and Baiguan's thoughts.

"Interesting, I never knew that there were so many talents in my land." Ying Zheng smiled slightly, and already remembered this left guard in his heart.

Not only Yingzheng, but everyone present remembered it.

There are people who support him, and there are people who hate him.

Those who support him are all with him, and those who do not support him are his opponents.

The West said: "You have reduced Jiuqing to worthless. So how good can the six parts be? ”

"When you say something like that, it means that you don't know anything about the six-part system, or you just scratch the surface."

"Who told you I only know the fur?" The West is not convinced.

Zuo Wei sneered: "Okay, I just talked about the shortcomings of the Jiuqing system, now you can talk about the shortcomings of the six-part system."

First of all, I will tell you what the six-part system is, and then tell you about the persistence of the six-part system. ”

"Okay, you'll listen to me." The West said in a deep voice: "The six departments are the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Households.

The Ministry of War is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the world's officials, the Ministry of Household is in charge of the world's taxes, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the world's ceremonial priests, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is in charge of the world's criminal cases, and the Ministry of Works is in charge of the world's fortifications. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
