Chapter 412 Three Provinces and Six Ministries

The journey to Chang'an was a bit long. After all, it was not a march to fight a war. Instead, Jiang Taifu and others went to Chang'an. On the way, aristocratic families from various places would ask to see Jiang Yuanxi. It took a little more time to stop and go along the way.

On this day, A Fang came to report suddenly: "Your Majesty, General Lu is asking to see you."

Jiang Yuanxi put down the scroll in his hand, "Let him in."

At this time, the convoy stopped in a suburb, and Jiang Yuanxi ordered that they should try not to enter the city to disturb the people on the road.

After Lu Heyu came in, he saluted, with a look of hesitation on his face. Jiang Yuanxi smiled slightly when he saw it, "Is there something difficult for General Lu?"

As former princes, how could Lu Heyu be so happy and angry?It's just for her to see.

"My wife wants to see His Majesty." Lu Heyu hesitated.

Jiang Yuanxi was slightly taken aback, Gu Yidan?
"Your wife is here?"

Lu Heyu nodded, "Your Majesty is going to move the capital to Chang'an, so I sent someone to bring her over. I just arrived yesterday."

I just arrived yesterday, and I am going to ask to see her today, it seems that there is something important.

"Let Mrs. Lu come in and see me." Jiang Yuanxi was also curious about what Gu Yidan wanted her for.

Gu Yidan came in quickly, carrying a small bundle in his hand, seeing Jiang Yuanxi who was smiling but majestic, his heart was inexplicably complicated, he was stunned for a while, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Heyu who had been worrying about her. After winking, he woke up and saluted Jiang Yuanxi.

"The women have met His Majesty." Because Jiang Yuanxi hadn't made a hero yet, Gu Yidan was still white.

"Madam Lu, please." Jiang Yuanxi said with a smile, "Fang, sit down."

A Fang was preparing a futon for Gu Yidan, when Lu Heyu saw this, he said: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

Jiang Yuanxi raised his eyebrows slightly, but Lu Heyu avoided it?It seems that even he doesn't know why Gu Yidan is looking for her.

Jiang Yuanxi was sure, before Lu and Yulin left, they glanced at Gu Yidan with worry in their eyes, and turned their heads three times before leaving.

Afang served tea to Gu Yidan, and also retreated under Jiang Yuanxi's signal, leaving only Jiang Yuanxi and Gu Yidan in the whole room.

Gu Yidan took a sip of tea, saw Jiang Yuanxi's smiling eyes, and suddenly felt that she didn't need to use the past friendship as an excuse, she thought, a person who can be an empress would not even have such a heart, so she He opened the bag directly, took out a document from inside, and handed it to Jiang Yuanxi with both hands.

"Your Majesty, please take a look, this is the statement I came up with after a long time of contemplation."

Jiang Yuanxi took it over and took a look, only read the first few lines of words, his gaze froze, he raised his head to look at Gu Yidan, but seeing her calm expression, she continued to look down.

Jiang Yuanxi read this note three times, still holding the document in his hand, then looked at Gu Yidan, and said with admiration, "Mrs. Lu really has wonderful ideas from time to time!"

For some reason, Gu Yidan got this person's praise, and felt a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, she quickly threw away the discomfort, and said seriously: "What do you think of this, Your Majesty?"

"Changing the Jiuqing system into the system of three provinces and six ministries, Mrs. Lu has changed the official system that the predecessors had never thought of. I think this official system is very good." Jiang Yuanxi couldn't put it down holding the note, still thinking carefully about the content written on it, " Mrs. Lu may explain a thing or two to me?"

Gu Yidan couldn't wish for it, "Your Majesty, the Jiuqing system has been in use for hundreds of years, and I personally think that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Although the division of labor is detailed, it has also caused confusion in official positions, and more human and material resources have been used. And the most important point. If you join forces, the imperial power will be emptied!"

Gu Yidan's heart was beating violently, she tightly clenched her hands on her knees, and stared at Jiang Yuanxi without blinking, for fear that she would get angry because of her last words.

Jiang Yuanxi nodded in agreement, "That's right, the nine ministers are Taifu, Taiwei, Da Sikong, Da Sinong, General, Taipu, Tingwei, Dahonghe, and Zongzheng. Each Jiuqing has a relative. The corresponding government office, like the Taifu, has the Taifu Mansion, in which there are ten people in the Taifu Mansion, one person in the imperial family, and 12 people in the Lingshi. These people do not need to be appointed by the emperor. The Taifu can find them first. People take office, and then report to the emperor. After all, these subordinate officials are busy working under the Taifu. In order to let the Taifu better assist the emperor, the emperor usually will not refute the request of the Taifu.

Just like Emperor Ai of the previous dynasty, if most of the nine ministers resigned, the court would fall into a quagmire and most of them would be paralyzed. If all nine ministers were united, the emperor would have to be replaced. "

Jiang Yuanxi was full of emotion. Chen Jin, the third and last emperor of Beiliang, was known as Emperor Ai. He buried the dynasty within a few years after ascending the throne, and even the entire royal family was slaughtered. When the Li family rebelled, the court The son of the aristocratic family suddenly resigned from office. If it weren't for the imperial examinations that Gan Dongsheng and his veterans and Gu Yidan had set up, Beiliang would have been finished at that time.

Gu Yidan's heart slowly calmed down, she knew that she was right in probing, and Jiang Yuanxi was still the same as the impression she had given her before, and she would not feel offended because of these words, so she gradually spoke boldly,

"Your Majesty is right. The system of three provinces and six ministries I created can bring power into the hands of the imperial power very well. The three provinces are Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province.

The Zhongshu Province drafted imperial edicts, formulated decrees, and issued decrees, which was very similar to the position of Taifu in the previous Jiuqing, but did not have the power of Taifu to select officials, impeach officials and execute punishments, and did not refute the emperor's edict The power of order and remonstrance.

The Menxia Province has the power to review and refute the decrees of Zhongshu Province, and some decrees that are out of date and unfavorable to the people should be refuted.

As for Shangshu Province, it has the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry.Each department governs four divisions, for a total of 24 divisions.The Shangshu Province has one Shangshu Ling, and under the Shangshu Ling there is a Shangshu Zuo Pushe, who manages the three departments of officials, households, and rites.The right servant of Shangshu shot one person, and managed the three departments of soldiers, criminals and workers.

The duty of Shangshusheng is to implement the decrees issued by the emperor. In addition to this, I also set up a station - Yushitai.

There is a censor under the censor platform, and the censor is responsible for supervision affairs, responsible for picketing, impeaching officials, and rectifying discipline.Your Majesty should speak out, and Yu Shi has the power to listen to the heavens.

The folk women privately think that every county, or even every county, should have a Lantai, and the Lantai should be under the control of the Yushitai, and the Yushi appointment will be rotated every three years.Lantai is open to the outside world, no matter what their status is, as long as they are the people of our Dayong Dynasty, even beggars, they have the right to go to Lantai to report the matter of impeachment to the censor. god listen. "

Gu Yidan spoke eloquently, Jiang Yuanxi's eyes lit up when he heard it, the two of them talked one by one, listened to the other, and asked questions from time to time, they even drank the water in the teapot, talking so dryly, Jiang Yuanxi loudly ordered A Fang to come in and serve Tea, and continued to discuss. In the end, the two talked for a whole day, which made Lu and Yu, who were waiting anxiously outside, feel numb in their legs.
