The rules and systems of the Great Cadres have not been perfected, after all, the transition from the former vassal states of Bangzhou to a centralized power is not just a matter of words.

Li Si continued: "More than 500 years ago, King Wu divided the world, and the princes did not know etiquette, acted recklessly, and were disrespectful to the Son of Heaven, so Zhou Gongdan made Zhou rites. ”

"The Zhou rites are cumbersome and grand, the classes are clear, and there is a large army to deter, the Son of Heaven eats nine tripods, the princes eat seven tripods, and the princes eat five tripods, so the princes obey the Zhou rites. Since then, the Son of Heaven, princes, ministers, doctors, scholars, and commoners have performed their duties. ”

"Since then, etiquette has collapsed, and now the world has returned to dryness, and the old system is no longer appropriate."

"It is not right that the powers and responsibilities of officials are not clear, they pass the buck to each other, the system is not perfect, and there are many people who bend the law for personal gain."

"Now that the Holy Son of Heaven has unified the universe and swept away the Liuhe, he should customize a new system to clear the world and distinguish between respect and inferiority."

"Emperors, princes, marquis, ministers, officials, and the common people, each performing his duties and doing his best."

"Qianguo abolished the six-state system and implemented a three-level administrative system at the prefecture, county, and county levels at the local level. The east, west, north, south, and four capitals and gods are all directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The five capitals are the same as the secretaries of state, and they can participate in the government. ”

"The dynasty has a system of three princes and nine secretaries, and the three princes are the prime ministers, generals, and imperial historians. Jiuqing is in charge of specific affairs. Treasury of the government, prisons, farming, etc. ”

"In addition, there are all kinds of additional officials, such as servants, loose riders, permanent attendants, and internal attendants." These positions were either held by eunuchs or the heirs of noble scholars. Although he does not have the right to participate in politics, he can follow the emperor, and if he is really talented, the emperor can also be directly promoted.

This system was naturally discussed by Wang Luo and several important ministers in the court, and Wang Luo made some changes to this system. All officials above the county level can be directly appointed by the emperor. Even if it is the prime minister of the three dukes, Wang Luo can also make a decision.

Of course, this is because Wang Luo is the founding king, and in order to stabilize the imperial power, Wang Luo has reduced the rights of the prime minister and the three dukes.

"Your Majesty, the king's energy is limited, in the past, Huai only occupied half of the world, and the variety of affairs is a headache. Your Majesty, you are talented, unforgettable, sharp-minded, and can quickly handle government affairs. ”

"The time of the day is limited, and if all the affairs are left to the king, the king will not be able to finish them even if he does not sleep, so he appointed a prime minister to assist the king in handling affairs."

"At the beginning, Huai only occupied half of the world, but now that the great cadres dominate the world, all kinds of affairs will only become more complicated, and there are more than thousands of things to deal with in one day? I also ask Your Majesty to expand the rights of the Prime Minister and the Third Prince. Han Fei admonished.

Only the straight Han Fei dared to say this kind of right, and whether it was Sun Qian, Xu Chaoyi or Li Si next to him, he didn't dare to speak at all.

Although Wang Luo was a little suspicious, he also knew Han Fei's temperament, so he was not angry. Although Han Fei can write "Han Feizi", his own use of the art of scheming is far behind.

Wang Luo thought for a while, if the power of the minister is reduced, all the major affairs of the country will be handed over to him, and he does not have enough energy and time to deal with it, but he is a little worried about expanding the power of the minister, so he asked: "What you said is very right, the complicated government affairs are not something that the king can deal with alone, but the power of the minister is expanded, how to place the prime minister to usurp power?" ”

"The matter of the division of the three families is still in front of us, and the widow has to worry!" During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was not one or two families that usurped the power of the monarch, and even the high-ranking Zhou Tianzi finally became an ornament, and Wang Luo didn't want the foundation that he and his ancestors had accumulated from generation to generation to be usurped.

Han Fei said: "The major affairs of the country are in the worship of Rong, and it is said that only the name and the instrument cannot be dummy." ”

"Your Majesty is the supreme commander of the army, all generals need to be appointed by Your Majesty, promotions in the army are completely controlled by Your Majesty, and the generals of the army are summoned regularly.

The positions of generals and generals should also be on the same level as the prime minister, and your majesty will be able to control the army. ”

"At the same time, as the monarch, you control the appointment of middle and high-ranking officials, and even if you expand the power of the prime minister, the prime minister cannot usurp the power."

Han Fei's meaning is very simple, expand the power of the prime minister, let him handle more government affairs, deprive foreign dynasties of personnel rights to the army, and the emperor controls the army and personnel power.

In this way, as long as the monarch is not a fool, he can control the power of the country. The right to control personnel can control the prime minister's faction and personal interests, and if you control the personnel power of the army, you can control the army, and with the army in hand, he will control the country.

What Han Fei said was very correct, but Wang Luo was not so easy to be fooled, according to what Han Fei said, it looked very good, but as long as the money and food were controlled, it could also affect the army. Not to mention that if he really handed over all the rights of government affairs, what would become of the emperor? Only responsible for stamping?

Wang Luo took a deep look at Han Fei, this fool was probably used as a gun again. However, although there are many pitfalls in Han Fei's proposal, he is right about one thing, that is, political affairs are cumbersome, and he can't handle them all by himself. So it is true that there is a need to expand the power of the phase, but it cannot be done according to their ideas.

Wang Luo thought for a while and said: "Government affairs are cumbersome, and it is indeed a big problem, so add a Shangshutai to assist in handling government affairs, and the Shaofu will fill it." ”

As soon as Wang Luo's voice fell, the ministers in the hall were stunned, they wanted to fight for more rights, but the rights were won, but they returned to the Shaofu. The Shaofu is dedicated to the financial and living affairs of the royal officials, and is regarded as the minister of the Son of Heaven.

The Shaofu Chong Shangshutai is to distribute the rights of the outer court to the inner court, and to put it bluntly, it is still under the jurisdiction of the emperor. However, the ministers opened their mouths to say what they wanted to say, and they did not dare to speak out against it. In the end, this matter was passed by Wang Luo, and the rights of the prime minister were successfully divided.

In addition, the prime minister is divided into left and right, and the power is further reduced. As long as his heirs and future generations of emperors don't fool around, the assets of the Chinese can be kept, and the prime minister can't make any waves.

But if there is such a thing as King Li and King Ra, then you can only consider yourself unlucky, and unless the ancestor makes a move, you will not be saved.

After dividing the power of the prime minister, Wang Luo can also hand over a large number of affairs to the left and right Cheng monk Shangtai, and at the same time, Wang Luo also attaches great importance to the Taifu in Jiuqing, and the Taifu is in charge of the country's money and grain, which is also the top priority.

Wang Luo knew very well that the rights of money, food, personnel, and the army must be controlled.

Next, Han Fei, Sun Qian, Xu Chao and others discussed the remaining official system, and after Wang Luo confirmed it, it was officially announced.

"Today's audience said that the society has been stable for a hundred years!" Wang Luo laughed in high spirits.
