Chapter 795 Didn't mention official restructuring at all

Those who opposed the reform of the official system had already made sufficient preparations and exhausted their energy. They planned to snipe Chu Xian and Bai Chuchen fiercely at the court meeting.

Even if Chu Xian is a member of the Shoufu Pavilion and a Daoist, but this time their own interests have been affected, even the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu will have to get over it.

What's more, in their view, they are also powerful, so why be afraid of them?
Officials from the court have arrived one after another. Today's atmosphere is special, just like the weather outside at the moment, with dark clouds and gloomy air, as if everyone is covered with a mountain.

On the Xianzuo of the Shoufu Pavilion, several ministers were already present, and Zhao Heng, Minister of the Ministry of War, also had a worried look on his face at the moment, because the official reorganization this time is also applicable in the army, that is to say, it is not yet known what to do. How many military officials will be affected? Although it is generally a good thing, it is impossible that there will be no rebound.

In addition, the last time Chu Xian proposed to reform the Shoufu Pavilion first, this will also have a lot of impact. What Chu Xian wants to do is to separate the military from the government. In this way, he, the Minister of the Ministry of War, will no longer be able to participate in internal affairs However, on the other hand, military power will also be strengthened. This matter is neither good nor bad.Moreover, Chu Xian also proposed a very creative move and measure, that is, the separation of duties by authority, but the position is not limited to one person.

In the current holy dynasty, one person has one position. No matter how big or small the official position is, or how many affairs are involved, a corresponding official is required. Even if it is only a nominal position, one person is needed to fill in the hole.

What Chu Xian thought was that one person could have multiple powers attached to him.

In this way, many irrelevant duties can be directly assigned to one person, just like the chief officer of a place, who can complete the affairs by himself, but now needs three or five people to share them, which is unnecessary. On the contrary, it is better for one person to take on multiple duties, which can be done better.

In fact, the Shoufu Pavilion has already agreed to this matter, and Grand Master Xiao Yu admired this method even more, because according to Chu Xian's arrangement, the chief seat of the Shoufu Pavilion can concentrate military and political power on one person. Can't do it anymore.But in the same way, regardless of the increase in power, the power will be weakened, just like the appointment and removal of officials at the Shoufu Pavilion level. It needs to be discussed by all members of the Shoufu Pavilion.

In addition, just like Zhao Heng himself, he used to be the Minister of the Household Department and only had such a position, but in the future, he can increase some positions.

Chu Xian's plan is to divide the First and Auxiliary Pavilion into two chambers, the Interior Yuan and the Military and Political Yuan, and divide them by position. If there is only the Military and Political Yuan's position, then the affairs of the Interior Yuan are absolutely not allowed to intervene.

In this way, many affairs will become orderly, and Zhao Heng sighed more than once, this Chu Xian is really a genius, he can even think of such a way.

Moreover, Grand Master Xiao Yu is also open-minded enough. In this matter, he obviously also fully supports Chu Xian's reform of officials.

Things are good, but the key point is how to deal with the 'rebound' of the entire officialdom, and the court meeting is the top priority. There are not many people in the Shoufu Pavilion, more than 20 people. It is relatively easy to reach an agreement, but the court meeting is different. Within Jingzhou, Those who are above the fifth rank can participate, and all can participate in the discussion and administration of state affairs. If someone takes the lead in opposing and resisting these hundreds of officials, things will be difficult to handle.

Because of the Holy Dynasty’s governance system, the Shoufu Pavilion and the Chaohui are under dual control. Similar to this kind of internal affairs measures, it must be at the level of the Chaohui, and it involves system reforms. Half of the officials of the Chaohui are not enough, and the number must exceed [-]%. .

In the past, there were many government orders that could not be implemented because of this system.

Thinking about it this way, the pilgrimage system that has been extended for so many years does not seem to be so perfect.

"So Chu Xian, you are directly going to attack the Chaohui this time. You really have the guts... There is no way to say it. Even if you are a Shang Shuling, if you do this, if you are not careful, you will end up in eternal doom." Zhao Heng thought in his heart. self-mumbling.

He looked worried, obviously worried about this.

That was the restructuring of the Shoufu Pavilion proposed by Chu Xian at the last meeting of the Shoufu Pavilion. In addition to the inner and outer courts of the Shoufu Pavilion, it will also greatly strengthen the "authority" of the Shoufu Pavilion.

Although the Shoufu Pavilion has always been the core of the power of the Holy Dynasty, in fact, the "authority" of the Chaohui is the greatest, just like the land reform that Chu Xian wanted to implement last time, it must go through the Chaohui, only the Shoufu Pavilion Pass, that's useless.

But just like the reason why Chu Xian needed to change the Shoufu Pavilion before, the problem of the Chaohui is the same, that is, it is too 'cumbersome', and all matters, big and small, have to be discussed through the behemoth of the Chaohui, and many people do not know a certain field Officials can influence or even participate in decision-making, and this is the problem.

At this time, a new face appeared at the court meeting. Many officials looked over and discussed the other party's origin in a low voice. Those who were well-informed would tell their colleagues that this was Bai Chuchen, the assistant officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Shangshuling City. .

"He is Bai Chuchen? The one who first proposed the reform of the official system?" Some people were hostile, or most of the officials looked at Bai Chuchen with inexplicable expressions.

"Now this Bai Chuchen is also on the rise. From a small eighth-rank county magistrate, he was promoted to third-rank, and became a fifth-rank Shangshu Ling Zuoguan. This person must have extraordinary talents and skills." One person sighed, and the other was not angry Said: "No matter how talented you are, you will be promoted too fast, and your foundation will not be stable. Sooner or later you will stumble."

Obviously, Bai Chuchen's arrival caused quite a shock.

During this process, some officials must have wanted to use magic to investigate Bai Chuchen, but they were disappointed because they couldn't see anything.

Even the immortal officials at the Shoufu Pavilion level were mostly shocked at this moment, because even they couldn't detect what kind of aura this Bai Chuchen had.

The other party seemed to be blinded by a master using spells, as if wearing a mask of spells, which could block all prying eyes.

The servants couldn't see through it, so they looked at the ministers, who didn't know that the ministers couldn't see it either, but relatively speaking, they could at least see some clues.

For example, the only person who helped Bai Chuchen hide his breath was Chu Xian.

It can be seen from this that Chu Xian's ability is now extremely high. There are rumors that Chu Xian's cultivation is no less than that of Fei Yuxian. Now it seems that this rumor is definitely not groundless.

In fact, not to mention them, even higher-level immortal officials can't see through it at this moment.

Yang Zhenqing, Wang Shenling and the others were all shocked in their hearts, but they were extremely calm on the surface. If it is really possible to see through the disguise made by Chu Xian, in this court meeting, there will never be more than a handful of people.

Perhaps, only two generals, Da Situ, Da Sima, and Grand Master Xiao Yu have such abilities.

But even if these five saw through something, they wouldn't say it.

This time the court officials came in full order, and it seemed that many of them came prepared, presumably waiting for Chu Xian or Bai Chuchen to come up with a way to reform the officials, and then immediately criticize and obstruct them.

In short, at least dozens of officials have been secretly colluding, and they are bound to join forces to stop it.

Everyone is already ready to go, ready to go.

Today will definitely be a confrontation, unless Chu Xian and Bai Chuchen's side "quiet their flags and drums" and stop advocating the reform of officials, there will definitely be conflicts.

At this time, Bai Chuchen came out and started talking.

Those officials who were preparing to fight back were also tense, and they would immediately argue and fight back as soon as the other party raised it, but the next moment, they were stunned.

Because Bai Chuchen was not talking about the restructuring of officials, but the restructuring of the Shoufu Pavilion.

Naturally, the other party said it in the capacity of Minister of Internal Affairs, which represented Chu Xian's meaning, and Bai Chuchen was just expressing it at the moment.

The Shang Shuling made an opinion here that the current structure of the Shoufu Pavilion should be adjusted, and the functions and powers should be delineated according to the differences between affairs and positions, and it should be divided into two parts: the Internal Affairs Yuan and the Military and Political Yuan.

Among them, the Ministry of War in the six ministries is divided into the jurisdiction of the Military and Political Yuan, and the rest are all classified into the Internal Affairs Yuan.

In addition, there are 47 posts in the Shoufu Pavilion, which belong to the existing members of the Shoufu Pavilion. Some people hold several positions and their power has increased.

Moreover, the House of Internal Affairs and the Yuan of Military Affairs will recruit some officials respectively, which is equivalent to expanding the members of the Shoufu Pavilion. Of course, the power of the Shoufu Pavilion will also be more concentrated and its authority will be greater.

The so-called ebb and flow, the increase in the power of the Internal Affairs and Military Affairs Yuan, correspondingly, the power of the court will be weakened, and it is not a small weakening, but a great weakening of the influence and administrative power of the court.

It's a pity that most of the officials in the court are not aware of this, or, even if they are aware of it, they don't think so deeply.

Their attention is still on the restructuring of officials, and the restructuring of the Shoufu Pavilion does not seem to be so relevant to their immediate interests.What's more, they couldn't get in on the restructuring of the Shoufu Pavilion, they just heard it fresh.

Naturally, some people will raise doubts and objections. After all, this is a change of thousands of years of administrative rules. Those who are conservative and old-fashioned will of course feel uncomfortable.

But obviously, the matter of the restructuring of the Shoufu Pavilion was first proposed by the minister Chu Xian, and secondly, it seemed that it had already been discussed and approved in the Shoufu Pavilion, so even if they objected, they had nothing to do. effect.

Obviously, the restructuring of the Shoufu Pavilion cannot be completed with just a few words. There are obviously too many things to do next, and what makes those officials who are ready to counterattack the restructuring of officials most uncomfortable is that they have not done anything from the beginning to the end. Hearing any news of official restructuring made all their preparations useless.

It's like gathering all the strength to punch it, but it's like hitting the air, not to mention the awkwardness and discomfort.
