Chapter 464: Centralization

There was no single prime minister in the Tang Dynasty.

The power of the prime minister was divided into the Secretariat of the Secretariat, the Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks' Monks

There are six ministries. The Secretariat, the Secretariat, and the Secretariat together are called the system of three provinces and six ministries. Among them, the Secretariat is responsible for making ideas on matters that need to be decided, put forward opinions on matters that need to be made, and then submitted to the emperor for approval, forming an imperial edict, and then sending it to the Secretariat for review. If the Secretariat has no opinions, it will be handed over to the six ministries of the Secretariat for formal implementation. In this case, the emperor has the power to veto, and the Secretariat can also have the power to disagree. The Secretariat does not have the power to make decisions but only the power to execute.

The operation mode of the three provinces and six ministries ensured the decentralization model and divided the power of ministers as much as possible. In the late Tang Dynasty, a system of deliberation hall was formed on the basis of the three provinces and six ministries. In Chang'an, there were fixed places for deliberation, and it was called the political affairs hall.

The purpose of the existence of the Political Affairs Hall is to bring all the officials from the three provinces and six ministries to attend the meeting. If there are any problems, they will fight clearly on the spot. Therefore, the Political Affairs Hall is also a place for senior officials to quarrel or fight. The officials of the Tang Dynasty are basically all good at literature and martial arts, and naturally they are unambiguous when fighting.

Speaking of which, this kind of system has both democracy and concentration, and the final plan is also the result of optimization. Whether it is the emperor or the prime minister, it is just a link in the decision-making process.

Under such a system, the status of the ministers was very high. During the Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as the emperor kneeling down, and at most it was just bowing as a courtesy.

The power of the emperor and the power of the ministers are extremely successful in mutual restraint.

After Luzhou was captured, Xue Ping, Tian Lingzi, Han Qi, Qin Zhao and others naturally discussed it together. Anyway, they were all regarded as the Imperial Palace faction by Li Ze, so there was no need to hide it at all.

When the emperor arrived in Zhenzhou, even though he only had a corner of the northern land, the court still had to stand up. In the eyes of Xue Ping and others, the three provinces and six ministries were all rebuilt.

This time, Tian Lingzi, the minister of the ministry, accompanied the emperor to flee north, and was wandering all the way, without any contribution and hard work. What's more, during the Huguan assassination incident, he was desperate and had only a few teeth left on his mouth. It was also considered to be a contribution to protecting the emperor. Naturally, he could continue to sit down in the position of the minister.

Xue Ping used to be the Minister of the Yellow Sect, but now he is the most powerful and prestigious person among the emperors. He must have a position in the Secretariat or the Secretariat. In their opinion, the Secretariat is in charge of the six ministries, and Li Ze is afraid that he will not give it to him, so he must work hard to get the position of Secretariat.

In this way, they would have two seats in the three provinces, and Li Ze would definitely have to stuff one person in, but among the three provinces, they still had the advantage of two to one. Even if Li Ze was in charge of the government affairs, they would have the capital to compete with him. As long as the system of the deliberation hall still exists, they would have bargaining and checking and balancing Li Ze.

Therefore, Xue Ping and the others were more eager for the rules mentioned by Li Ze. What they feared the most was that Li Ze pretended to be confused and kept the emperor in Zhenzhou in an unknown way, so they had no position to say.

Only when rules are set and everyone works in this rule can they have room for activities.

But now, they were both shocked and angry.

Li Ze is indeed ready to re-establish rules and build systems, but it is not what they imagined.

A light sentence beat the things they had worked hard to plan to pieces.

The three provinces were abolished and the prime minister was established alone. Li Ze was naturally responsible for whom the prime minister prepared for. The six ministries were directly responsible to the emperor. Can the emperor be in charge of the emperor now? The emperor was seriously ill and the prince was young. The so-called six ministries were directly responsible to the emperor, which means that Li Ze was responsible to him in disguise.

What else do they have to do with this

The Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Rites, etc., can they get those departments and historical departments? It is impossible to imagine that the officials in Wuwei are appointed by Li Ze. Who would have the people? The Ministry of War is based on Han Qi, Qin Zhao, and Xue Ping's little troops. How can they fight against Li Ze's tens of thousands of troops? Do they have money? What they eat and use now is not what Xue Ping knows more. The Duzhi Department of Wuwei is actually the function of the Ministry of Revenue. The way they do is the court's Ministry of Revenue. Even if he goes to Chang'an now to catch the old Minister of Revenue, he is afraid he will be confused, his hands are blind, his eyes are dizzy, and he can't even understand the accounts. Once these three important departments go to Chang'an, what role can these departments play in the current situation?

Once you are marginalized now, it will be difficult to turn things around in the future.

This system was tailored by Li Ze for his monopoly of power. Xue Ping stood up suddenly: "I object!"

Li Ze raised his hand disinterestedly and signaled Xue Ping to continue.

"Three provinces and six ministries, the Tang Dynasty has been implemented for many years, and it is effective and rashly changed, which is not conducive to the implementation of the government! It can effectively check and balance the power of the only man, and the emperor is incompetent."

"What is effective in action?" Gongsun Changming said coldly: "Because it is effective in action, the Tang Dynasty has become like this now, so the emperor has to hunt north, causing all the eastern capitals of Chang'an to fall."

"You!" Xue Ping turned around and glared at Gongsun Changming.

"Isn't it?" Gongsun Changming sneered: "When I was in Chang'an, I also saw the joint discussions of the three provinces. I dare to ask Tian Shizhong. During those joint discussions, there was one thing you discussed and found a result. Isn't it a rush to end a relief case in a quarrel and fight? All of them can be solved by just a few words. But because of this and that reason, it was delayed again and again, and eventually the disaster-stricken places were hungry and the people were living in poverty. After you finally came up with a plan, where can you find the people who were relief? The most ridiculous thing is that the court still allocated money and grain, and the money and grain were actually distributed and fell into the hands of whom, everyone knows it!"

Tian Lingzi opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

Gongsun Changming cleverly avoided the key points in Xue Ping's speech. The most important thing that Xue Ping said was that the last two powers were in power, and the only husband was in power was implied by Li Ze. But Gongsun Changming directly turned the topic to the effectiveness of the affairs of the Political Affairs Hall.

The Political Affairs Hall itself is of course an excellent system, but the problem is that by now, the Political Affairs Hall has become a place for power and profit above the court. Deliberations are no longer for solving problems, but for demonstrating their own power and seeking their own interests. Such a Political Affairs Hall is of course useless. Not only can it not be done, but it will also be extremely bad.

Because the officials of the Political Affairs Hall no longer discuss because of things, but purely for their own interests. We must oppose everything that is not conducive to me, and we must support everything that is beneficial to me.

What's the final point of this matter

This is what Xue Ping is now embarrassed. He could not openly point out and point out that Li Ze wanted to be a single husband, so he could only point it out, but Li Ze pretended not to hear it. Gongsun Changming's words made Xue Ping unable to refute it. Because Xue Ping knew very well that once he refuted, Gongsun Changming could list a lot of things to illustrate how corrupt the system exercised by the court is now. I am afraid that more dark scenes will be revealed. At that time, the civil and military officials in the lobby will be laughed at.

Seeing Xue Ping standing in the center with embarrassment, Li Ze waved his hand and said, "Shilarious Minister Xue, now I am just talking about my thoughts, and I didn't say that I must do this. From Luzhou to Zhenzhou, there is still a while, and we have time to discuss whether it is right."

Xue Ping walked back helplessly and sat down, panting heavily.

"But, what I want to emphasize is!" Li Ze suddenly emphasized his tone: "This time we won the Battle of Zhaoyi, it is just that we have taken the first step to revive the Tang Dynasty. The days ahead will inevitably be more difficult and the road will be more difficult. Although the three provinces and six ministries system and the political affairs hall system have been the most important political system of the Tang Dynasty for a long time, it is obvious that since the development has reached now, it has no longer met our current actual needs."

"Now, we need to be efficient, we need to enforce orders, and we need to be united. If the rebuilding of the court system, as Mr. Gongsun said, can do anything else, let alone reviving the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that we will not be able to do it even if we are in a corner." Li Ze swept over the people in the house and said coldly: "I can't tolerate anyone who fights for power and makes small plans. He cannot stay with me. For such a person, I suggest that you find a way out as soon as possible, so as not to break the law at the time and be destroyed too late!"

It was like a gust of cold wind swept across the hall, and everyone straightened their backs.
