"The prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, the son of heaven at the top, and the hundred officials at the bottom. If there are more than a few prime ministers, wouldn't it be easy to cause confusion of powers and blame each other in case of trouble? ”

Hearing Liu Chan's suggestion of 'group phase system', while his eyes lit up, Liu Bei couldn't help but be a little puzzled

"Hehe, since it is the establishment of a 'group of ministers', it is natural that it can't just add a few prime ministers. Why didn't my father take advantage of the situation to change the official system and clarify the terms of reference. In this way, it can not only avoid confusion of functions and powers to the greatest extent, but also effectively prevent the occurrence of a single thing. In addition, the 'group phase' mentioned by the son is actually not a prime minister in the real sense. ”

looked at the puzzled and puzzled father, but Liu gave another solution that made him even bigger.

"Change the bureaucracy? This...... It seems that you have already been in your mind, and you will talk carefully to your father. ”

After hearing Liu Chan's suggestion to change the official system, Liu Bei, who originally felt at a loss for what to do, saw his confident appearance, how could he not know that he already had a draft.

"Father, borrow a pen and paper!"

Seeing his father's puzzled and eager eyes, Liu Chan was not verbose, and directly took out a piece of smooth and snow-white ice muscle paper from the desk, and began to write and draw on it.

……

"Three provinces and six ministries?"

Looking at the eye-catching 'chicken feet text' on the snow-white paper, Liu Bei couldn't help but read it out softly with curiosity.

"That's right, it's the three-province six-ministry system!"

While continuing to draw the architecture diagram of the three provinces and six ministries on the paper, Liu Chan did not raise his head to explain to Du Bi's father.

"The so-called three provinces are the emperor...... Well, under the lord of the country, there are three provinces: Zhongshu, Menxia, and Shangshu. The Ministry of Zhongshu is in charge of filing and drafting edicts and decrees, while the Ministry of Menxia is in charge of refuting edicts and decrees, and is responsible for deliberating the drafts of edicts and decrees drafted by the Ministry of Zhongshu to decide whether to implement them or not. As for the province of Shangshu, it is the administrative office, which is responsible for the implementation of the decrees formulated by the Zhongshu and Menxia provinces. ”

Pointing to the three provinces below the emperor on the structure map, Liu Chan explained his responsibilities to Liu Bei in detail.

"The governors of the three provinces are respectively Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong, and Shangshu Ling, and then each of them places the adjutant Zhongshu Shilang, the subordinate Shilang, and the Shangshu Province left and right servants. The chief lieutenants of the three provinces are all in the title of prime minister, but they no longer have the right to open the government! ”

After introducing the detailed responsibilities of these three provinces, Liu Chan also said the most critical point of this 'group of ministers', and no longer exercised the right to open the government.

"Only the name and power of the prime minister are given, and the right not to open the government is not given, so what about the specific affairs of this country?"

When he heard Liu Chan say that this 'group of ministers' no longer has the right to open the mansion, his eyes lit up, but Liu Bei was a little puzzled.

"Father, don't worry, isn't this just the end of the three provinces, and there are six more to follow, hehe!"

Seeing his father's look of joy and doubt, Liu Chan immediately listed six departments under Shangshu on the structure diagram.

"Shangshu Province and then set up officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers six departments, each with Shangshu and left and right attendants. Under each ministry, four divisions were placed to replace the responsibilities of the previous Prime Minister's Thirteen Cao. Such as the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials, the Department of Seals, the Department of Honors, and the Ministry of Meritorious Examination, the Department of Households, the Department of Branches, the Ministry of Gold, and the Department of Warehouses...... The first division of each ministry is named after the headquarters and is called the 'headquarters division'......"

In his father's expression, which gradually became dumbfounded, Liu Chan quickly added the division and functions of these six departments to the architecture diagram.

"This is only the most important government bureaucratic structure of the country, in addition, the Imperial Historical Observatory of the Supervision of Hundred Officials is at the same level as the three provinces, and its prefect Imperial History Zhongcheng is also awarded the title of Prime Minister; Under it, the imperial history of each state, county, and county was set up to supervise it, and it was used to replace the assassination history that could be turned into a local official. ”

"In addition, there are nine temples of Taichang, Guangshe, Weiwei, Zongzheng, Taifu, Dali, Honglu, Sinong, Taifu, Guozi, Shaofu, Junqi, Jiangzuo, and Dushui as supplementary ...... of the six departments."

Subsequently, after the completion of the 'main structure' of the three provinces and six ministries, Liu Chan immediately added the Yushitai in charge of supervision, and the nine temples and five superintendents as a supplement to the six ministries.

Of course, the internal provinces that manage the affairs of the court, such as conveying edicts, guarding the palace gates, and sprinkling and sweeping the inner court, are naturally also indispensable, after all, this is a 'feudal dynasty', isn't it?

"As for the military attaché, my son thinks that after all, the current time is the use of force, and it is enough to still use the old system of my Han Dynasty, but there is no need to change it......"

"Adou, this ...... All of this you came up with? ”

After seeing Liu Chan add the military attache system to the structure of the three provinces and six departments, Liu Bei, the father who was already stunned and stunned on the side, finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart at this moment, and looked at him with a face full of disbelief.

No way, compared with the chaotic bureaucracy that the Han court has been developing in the form of 'patching' for hundreds of years, the system of three provinces and six ministries given by Liu Chan is not only simpler and clearer, but also its various functions and responsibilities are not much better than before.

It can be said that since Qin Shi Huang became emperor, this is the most complete set of state bureaucracy he has ever seen.

"Hehe, could it be that my father has also heard of the six-ministry system of these three provinces elsewhere? Or is there anything wrong with the six-part system of these three provinces? ”

Looking at his father with a shocked and incredulous face, Liu Chan did not answer directly, but joked confidently.

"What's wrong? Hahahaha, the system proposed by my son is the most perfect national system known to my father, how can it be inappropriate? ”

directly identified the 'three provinces and six ministries' as Liu Bei invented by Liu Chan, which was called a joy and pride at this time.

Just kidding, although the system of six ministries in these three provinces was gradually developed from the Han Dynasty, it was not until the Sui and Tang dynasties a few hundred years later that it really took shape. And since its formation, it has been used by successive dynasties, and there have been no major changes until the fall of the Pigtail Dynasty.

Now that Liu Chan has moved out such a set of fully mature advanced systems hundreds of years in advance, it can be said that it not only meets the needs of society, but also does not pull eggs because of too big a step.

Therefore, apart from being shocked and delighted, how could Liu Bei find anything wrong. Not to mention Liu Bei, even if the 'Dragon and Phoenix Combination' is moved, it still can't find the slightest fault.

"Come on, quickly invite Kong Ming, Xiaozhi, Zizhong and others to come to discuss the matter!"

Although he was very satisfied with the system of three provinces and six ministries drawn up by Liu Chan, this was a major matter related to the country after all. Therefore, Liu Bei naturally couldn't do anything 'arbitrary' in this matter, but immediately asked people to invite Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and other confidants and important ministers to discuss.
