Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 37
Outside the Zhongyuan Hall, the first rainstorm after the summer "crashed" sounded, the plane trees swayed with the wind, and the sound of rain hitting plantains sounded again and again. Under the rain curtain, the sky and the earth were vast.

At the corner of the corridor eaves and the watchtower of the palace, under the corridor eaves, the armored soldiers of the Forbidden Army Hall, wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats, stand with their halberds in the heavy rain, standing still.

At this time, three days had passed since the funeral of the former monarch of the State of Su. The case of rebellion by Yuan Bin, the chief minister of the State of Su, finally spread throughout the 53 counties of the seven counties of the State of Su, causing a sensation. He was punished, and his cronies and party members were even wiped out.

The pouring rain seemed to have washed away the bloody and killing atmosphere in Wenyi City for the past three days.

In the hall, Su Guogongqing gathered together again. Unlike the last time, in addition to the six officials, there were also some Su Guogongqing clans serving as governors, as well as Han Dai, the governor of Wenyi. In the empty palace, the jade steps were as bright as water, It reflects people's shadows.

Until today, this has the posture of some civil and military officials.

It can be seen that this is an enlarged meeting of Su Guogong.

"Your Majesty, all of Yuan Ni's party members have been wiped out." Si Kou Chen Shao held the memorial and said loudly: "I am in the treasury of the Yuan Mansion. I own 850 pairs of wrought iron armor, 13 strong crossbows, and more than 750 swords and guns. , and there are 46 hectares of property fields, [-] two catties of gold, [-] bolts of silk, more than [-] pearls, and copper coins and jewels cannot be counted."

At the head of the hall, above the three-tiered jade steps, Su Zhao was dressed in a bright yellow crown, wearing a marquis crown with pearls hanging down his head, and sat on the throne. Adding to the body, the temperament that sets off becomes more and more precious. Hearing this report, he said coldly: "It's shocking... After hearing this, Zhu Qing, do you have any thoughts or feelings?"

At this moment, Su Zhao suddenly realized a problem. After the "magnanimous" governance of Dai Su Jun, the land was occupied by the nobles, and many people became hermits and escaped households. As a result, the vast land of the seven counties of Su State was only a million people. .

Jing Hongdao cupped his hands and said: "Yuan Ni has been in the family of Shangqing for less than ten years. He has plundered and plundered, and accumulated millions of family assets. All of them are anointed by the common people of our country. Now if you are guilty of a crime committed by heaven, your superiors will punish you with capital punishment, and you will obey the heavens and respond to people, and everyone will be convinced."

Sikong Fan Yanxu said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Ni is domineering and tyrannical, and has wolf ambitions. The old minister has noticed it before. It is true that the rebels are hiding their armor and crossbows in order to seek rebellion."

Even though Yuan Bin is the Great Sima of Su, he can't hoard armor, knives and guns in his treasury.

Zongbo Su Mao also echoed, "If it hadn't been for the emperor's handling by Lei Ting, there would have been Su Yi's Guo Zuo, who would have been usurped by Yuan Ni sooner or later."

Although these words sound a bit alarmist, but in line with the current situation of Yuan Bin being cut off, to a certain extent, it is also a kind of standing in line.

The other ministers below are also full of verbal criticism.

Su Zhao's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Masters, next, I will inform the officials at all levels of Su State about Yuan Ni's evil, and eliminate the influence of Yuan Niliu's poison, so that everyone can take warning."

But at this moment, a voice sounded from outside the hall, a young captain wearing a black cloak stepped into the hall, the moisture on his body had not faded, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Dang County has military information to report. "

Su Zhao nodded, with the majesty on his face undiminished, feeling some changes in Su's luck in the dark, faintly aware of it, turned his eyes to Cai An, and said in a deep voice: "Nian."

"Yesterday, General Chunyu broke Yanshan's thieves, and he is cooperating with the Dangjun governor to appease the soldiers and civilians..." Cai An took out the letter from his sleeve and began to recite, his voice gradually becoming lighter.

And when this news fell into the ears of Su Guogongqing in the Zhongyuan Hall, they all showed excitement.

Undoubtedly, this is good news for Su, which is a bit "precarious" today.

Su Zhao said happily: "General Chunyu will grow stronger when he is old, and he will surely bring disasters and chaos to Dangshan Mountain. He can be called the pillar of the country."

Su Guogong below also congratulated, and there were endless praises.

In fact, some people below are also worried that after Yuan Bin's death, the generals of the Su State will wither and be unable to resist foreign aggression. Hearing the victories from the front line, it shows that the State of Su is not unavailable.

Below, there is Gongqing, thinking: "Now that Yuan Ni has been destroyed, General Chunyu has eliminated the bandit chaos, and now the position of Sima is vacant, maybe..."

But this kind of matter, since Su Zhaoqian just decided it arbitrarily, no one below raised it.

Cai An said: "General Chunyu still has a letter."

Su Zhao's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Submit it."

Then, Cai An took two steps forward and handed it to the eunuch Ling Youjiang.

Su Zhao opened the envelope, and after reading it, his solemn face became slightly less serious. The letter was actually written about the Yuan family's subordinates. The captains of the three counties heard that Yuan Bin was punished, and they all asked for their own guilt. In the tent, and asked Su Zhao when the class teacher.

Su Zhao took a deep breath, and ordered: "Let General Chunyu not be in charge for the time being, and rectify the military preparations of the three counties of Dang, Yanling, and Changshui on the spot..."

Speaking of this, Su Zhao suddenly discovered a problem, the position of Sima was vacant, and the order had to be stamped with Sima's seal before it could be sent to the counties. Fortunately, he could also draw up orders.

Now, only the royal family of Ji Zhou can issue edicts, edicts, regulations, and edicts.

Princes and princes can only write some orders and stamp them with seals, which will have the effect of decrees.

Su Zhao picked up the form on the imperial case, wrote an order with a pen, stamped it with a seal, and asked the eunuch to order You Jiang to pass it to Cai An.

At this time, Dazai respected Hongdao, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the important affairs of the country are only for the worship and the army. Now that Yuan Ni has been eliminated, the position of Sima cannot be left vacant for a long time. It is urgent to select capable ministers to take over the military administration."

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials whispered to each other, ready to move.

The princes imitated the Zhou rituals and established an official system. The so-called Xia Guan Sima had one senior Sima (qing), two junior Sima (middle doctor) and four military Sima (lower doctor).

The former is a title, and the brackets are titles.

The Son of Heaven—Princes—Qing Dafu—Scholar, this is the powerful class in this world.

However, after Yuan Bin's downfall, the two young Sima attached to him were imprisoned one after another for their crimes against Yuan. One was executed and the other was deposed as a commoner.

It can be said that the Sima government office in Su State has almost come to a standstill.

Su Zhao frowned, he already felt the roughness and unfamiliarity of this kind of official system, "This kind of official system will gradually be replaced when there are many dynasties and many affairs... I want to organize three provinces and six departments, but now The mainstream is still Doctor Qing."

The bureaucratic system has always changed with time. The blindly stacked structure and overstaffing will increase administrative costs and reduce governance efficiency in a disguised form. However, too simple and careless will also lead to absence of governance and unclear powers and responsibilities.

Therefore, to promote the governance system and governance capabilities of the Soviet Union...

Su Zhao's thoughts diverged for a moment, he cleared his cough, and said in a loud voice: "The selection of the chief minister is related to the safety of the country and society, and we must think carefully about it."

In his vision, military orders and military administration will naturally be divided into two. The result of the combination of the two is that soldiers will gradually become privately owned. will be the last.

As for how to separate, he initially intends to set up a Privy Council to take charge of military orders, and replace the power of the Ministry of War with Sima to manage military affairs.

However, this major issue of institutional reform still needs to be discussed with Jing Hongdao and Chen Shao.

In this era, it is not empty talk to add official positions, and the names cannot be randomly named, and even classical books need to be found.

Su Zhao thought about it: "In addition, it is not difficult to set up a censor to supervise all officials... By the way, there is also a desk to handle official documents, otherwise, the majestic lord of the seven counties has to write his own orders? "

It's just that Doctor Yushi wanted to usurp some of the supervisory powers of the chief officers, so I don't know what Chen Shao would think.
