Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 39: Fear More Than Respect
In the Palace of Ganlu, Su Zhao's clear voice sounded, "The major affairs of the country are only sacrificed to the soldiers. , Chen Qing understands the laws and regulations, and should draw up a charter as soon as possible."

In fact, for thousands of years, Ji Zhou has declined, Qin Chu and other countries have not only started a new stove, but also set up a separate official system structure on top of the six officials. There are also imitators.

Of course, for a small country like Su, one has fewer affairs, and the other is lack of courage.

Seeing Jing Hongdao's troubled expression, Su Zhaoqing coughed, and said, "Teacher, the separation of military, government and military orders is also a step to eliminate the influence of Yuan Niuliu's poison. What's the problem with the reform?"

As soon as this remark came out, Jing Hongdao's face became serious, obviously aware that he had overreacted, but he still said solemnly: "Yan Chang is a man with great ambition and few talents, a generation who disrupts the country, Your Majesty must not be deceived by others, and use this person more. "

Su Zhao nodded, and said: "The reform is related to the peace of the country and society, and it is very lonely to wake up."

For things like reforms, changes must be changed, but they must not be rushed. Without the escort of the army, the support of new interest groups, and the general consensus of the general public, even if he is a monarch with great power attributed to himself, he will not be able to stop the Manchu dynasty. The minister's objection.

And his prestige is not enough to overcome all opinions, besides, the current ministers of the Manchu Dynasty of the Su Kingdom treat him with more awe than respect.

Seeing Su Zhao's "disapproving" look, Jing Hongdao sighed, and thought to himself, this prince has a stubborn personality and is eager to deal with things, so he can only persuade him more.

Then, Su Zhao mentioned another matter, saying: "It's very inconvenient for me to draw up orders and order orders. I just want to set up a desk for ministers, and record the affairs of ministers with well-educated people. What do you think, teacher?"

Hearing this, Jing Hongdao frowned and said: "How can you allow bookish people to criticize the country's major affairs at will. Your Majesty's move may attract criticism."

Su Zhao was silent for a moment, then said in a clear voice: "Transmitting documents, formulating government orders, people who are familiar with the Five Classics are indispensable. Kuang Gongqing's children are just flying eagles and lackeys blindly, and it is not a long-term solution. If you can use this to practice political affairs, it will benefit state affairs. , is also good."

Hearing the words, Jing Hongdao was stunned for a moment, his old eyes moved slightly, knowing that he had misunderstood the young prince's intentions.

From Su Zhao's explanation, Jing Hongdao thought that this was a win over of Gongqing's children, in order to appease Yuan Bin's panic after the fall of Yuan Bin, who was terrified by the bloody storm all over the city.

But no matter what, he never thought that this was Su Zhao's preparation for further centralization of power in the future, and even for political reform.

Jing Hongdao pondered for a moment, then said: "If so, there is nothing wrong with your majesty's proposal."

Chen Shao also handed over his hand, but this disciple of the Legalist school, who is well versed in power, moved his eyes slightly, and vaguely understood Su Zhao's intentions, but the Legalist school has always advocated the centralization of power by the monarch, and it is also happy to see this.

Su Zhao nodded slightly, the position of Shangshu was set up in the Qin Dynasty in the previous life on Earth, and in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was merged with Shizhong as Zhongchao.

What does China mean?

It is another team directly under the emperor, which is an extension of the monarchy.

In the current state of Su, it is still popular to open a government and build a government, that is, the chief official recruits officials and issues orders on his own.

The officials who actually recruited are all the children of the public officials.

"Come on slowly, the official system is suitable for the time and place. I will neither stick to the old, nor will I be unconventional. Everything is pragmatic." Su Zhao thought.

Then he looked at Chen Shao again, with a hint of anticipation in his quiet eyes, and said: "Chen Qing, Yuan Ni has accumulated power since he went to the local court, and there are many vassals. Come to reflect on why he is so powerful? It should be that the investigation is not enough...Gu recently heard that the big country of Qin has a Yushitai, and I want to follow suit, set up a Yushitai, control nine questions, use the Yushi doctor to control the constitution and discipline, and inspect all officials , what does Chen Qing think?"

Si Kou is in charge of both judiciary and supervision, well, this era is so chaotic.

That's why Su Zhao thought about reforming the official system, not because he thought the system of three provinces and six ministries sounded better than the six-official system, but because the six-official system was bloated, overstaffed, unclear in governance, unclear in power and responsibility, and low in administrative efficiency.

If he wants to be a king of pleasure, there is no doubt that it is the best to be a hands-off shopkeeper, each of the six ministers will take care of it, and he will govern without fuss.

But if he wants to fight for the hegemony of Tianyuan, the bureaucratic system that makes him a big headache, he has to sort it out first, not to mention other things, dismantle the bloated six-official system, and take a professional, standardized, and systematic official system, which is the right way .

Institutional reform to promote the improvement of the governance system and governance capabilities is really not a joke.

Chen Shao was silent when he heard the words, and he couldn't help thinking on his face.

He knew that the State of Qin set up the Yushitai, but the establishment of the Yushitai undoubtedly encroached on part of the power of the Sikou Mansion.

Throughout the ages, the most taboo of bureaucrats is the reduction of powers and the expansion of responsibilities.

But this Legalist disciple, of course, can also see the benefits of this separation of powers, and from Su Zhao's words, he faintly sensed something, and he was not worried but happy.

Chen Shao took a deep breath, and said: "I think that Sikou Mansion's prison affairs are busy, and there are indeed places that cannot be monitored. It is indeed necessary to set up the Yushitai."

Su Zhao felt relieved when he heard that, Chen Shao did not disappoint him.

In fact, today he is testing the tone of the two courtiers. If the monarch and the ministers reach an agreement, they can propose it at the court meeting.

For some things, it is much better for a courtier to say it than for him to speak.

Moreover, if there is no accident, he should have prepared the post of Yushi doctor for that Yan Chang, but whether this person really has the talent of Shang Han Shen Wu still needs to be investigated.

Jing Hongdao was beside the old god, and glanced at Chen Shao, who was suspicious and fearful, and there was a hint of bewilderment in his old and muddy eyes.

"Since Yuan Bin's downfall, Chen Shao's power has expanded, and now the Lord Marquis relieves him of his supervisory power, obviously he is afraid of this person."

No wonder Jing Hongdao thought so, after Yuan Bin's power was wiped out, Su Guo Da Si Kou Chen Shao, as the chief judge of Yuan Ni's case, was full of traffic in front of the door, which can be described as a bustling crowd.

Su Zhao said solemnly: "Teacher, Chen Qing, first recruit some people to set up the shelf of Yushitai."

Unlike the Privy Council, which only asked Chen Shao to write the charter and structure, he could not help interfering in personnel affairs. After all, Yushitai was a constitutional department, and it was still possible for the two to fill in some staff in the early days.

Then, Jing Hongdao and Chen Shao bid farewell and left.

Watching the two leave, Su Zhao couldn't help but sighed heavily.

Although Yuan Bin's party has been eliminated at present, the reality is that the country of Su is in disarray, and the internal affairs and military affairs are on his shoulders.

Especially for a small country, caught in the cracks of the surrounding big countries, it is not easy to rise?
