Zhao Bing basically understood the relationship between the emperor and the three dukes and nine ministers. The prime minister was originally the emperor's private minister, equivalent to the emperor's official or adjutant, and could naturally manage royal affairs. From another perspective, the palace was just a special department under the court, and the palace affairs were naturally ruled by the prime minister.

So at that time, the emperor asked the Censor Central Chief, the Censor Central Chief, and the Censor Central Chief reported to the Censor Central Chief, and then transferred to the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister had any matters, he would follow this procedure and transfer from the Censor Central Chief to the Central Chief, and then transferred to the inner court. In this way, Zhao Bing was confused. The education he received was that China had been feudal politics since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the emperor was autocratic, which was somewhat different from historical facts.

"After the Han Dynasty, there were Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, with frequent dynasties, the Central Plains were turbulent, the official system was chaotic, and there was no achievements. It was not until the Tang Dynasty entered the Tang Dynasty." Wang Yinglin saw that the emperor had not made any comments, thinking that he had understood it, and then said, "The Tang Dynasty changed the pattern of the prime minister's own government affairs during the Han Dynasty, and set up three provincial and six parts to resolve the power of the prime minister, one was the Secretariat, the Menxia Provincial Department, and the Third was the Secretariat, and the Censorate was appointed to supervise the power."

"The head of the Secretariat is the Secretariat, the chief officer of the Menxia Province is the Shizhong, and the senior official of the Shangshu is the Shangshu Ling. The Tang Dynasty was divided into the ninth rank and the first and second rank officials were all given as elders and did not bear actual administrative responsibilities. The third rank was below the third rank, and they were the actual responsible officials. The Secretariat, the Secretariat and the Shangshu Ling were all third rank officials."

"Oh, the leaders of the three provinces were in charge of the government at that time. Why was the rank of officials so low? Why did they lead the officials?" Zhao Bing frowned and asked after hearing this.

"Your Majesty asked the most!" Wang Yinglin took a sip of tea and continued, "The Secretary of the Central Committee is based on the official name, which means managing documents in the inner court; the Secretary of the Central Committee serves the emperor in the palace; and the Shangshu version is the secretary of the imperial court. After the Tang Dynasty, it was completely different from the previous functions. It was precisely this that the official rank was very low in the early stage."

"So that's it!" Zhao Bing nodded. He thought that he was also a minister of the feudal aristocrats. In the Spring and Autumn Period, he was only a retainer of the feudal aristocrats, but by the Qin and Han Dynasties, he turned private into public and became the consul of the formal government. It was not surprising that later generations followed suit.

However, Zhao Bing knew that Wang Yinglin skipped a paragraph and did not say it, perhaps because of taboos or some scruples. As he knew, there was a saying in history that "China-Korean" was written in textbooks, and it was not a reason for the surveillance. The emergence of China-Korean was because the emperor found that the prime minister's power was too great, and he had been undermined and his actions were restricted. In this way, he divided the power of the prime minister, including Shizhong, Changshi, Shangshu and other officials. Of course, these official names appeared earlier than the Han Dynasty.

The Shangshu Province was originally a minor official under the Shaofu of the Qin Dynasty. He worked in the main hall and was responsible for sending various documents. Shang meant "in charge", and the Shangshu as an official position came from this. Because the Shangshu was walking around the emperor and could access many confidential documents, his status was increasing.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the Secretary of the Secretariat was simply abolished the Secretary of the Secretariat and established a new institution - the Secretary of the Secretariat, and used eunuchs as officials, Pushe and other officials. This shows that the Secretary of the Secretariat could meet the emperor anytime and anywhere, and the eunuchs were naturally because normal men were not allowed to enter the harem, and eunuchs could. During the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han, the Secretary of the Secretariat was abolished, and scholars were re-appointed as the Secretary of the Secretariat, Pushe and the four ministers including the Secretary of the Secretariat, and three ministers, civilians, two thousand stones, and the Changshi were added. This is the source of the Secretary of the Secretariat and the Six Ministers of the Secretariat.

Scholars were naturally normal men and could not enter the inner palace at will. In this way, they became part of the court officials and entered the national system. By the time the status of Shangshu Ling was unprecedentedly improved during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the real Prime Minister was not as good as Prime Minister, and the Three Dukes were completely undermined. Over time, the emperor gradually became less at ease with Shangshu Ling, so Shangshu Ling also began to follow the old path of the Three Dukes.

The Central Secretariat was abolished, and in the Cao Wei period, the Central Secretariat and the Central Secretariat were established. The Northern Zhou Dynasty established the Central Secretariat. In order to avoid taboos, the Sui Dynasty changed its name to the Central Secretariat and restored its name in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Menxia Province, the Menxia Shizhong was originally a minor official under the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty. Because it was mainly responsible for the official document exchanges between the Prime Minister and the Emperor, its status was gradually improved. In the Western Han Dynasty, it became a title, and any official could be the one. The Shizhong's responsibilities at that time were equivalent to the emperor's life secretary, and he had to even give him shit and urine.

As for the four Caos of Emperor Cheng of Han, the Eastern Han Dynasty changed the Changshu Cao to the official and the Ministry of Personnel. Cao Wei changed the Ministry of Personnel to the Ministry of Personnel, 2,000 Shi was the capital official, and the Min Cao was the left civilian, and the Duzhi and the Ministry of Temple were added. The Eastern Wu also established the Minister of Revenue. The Western Jin Dynasty established the Minister of the First Ministry, which was in charge of engineering affairs. The Northern Wei established the Minister of Yi Cao, and the Northern Qi established the Minister of Temple. The Northern Zhou Dynasty established the Minister of the Ministry of Temple of Temple. The Ministry of Civil, Civil, Li, Military, and Engineering were established. The Sui Dynasty changed the Minister of the Central Government to the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of the Ministry of Justice was changed to the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. So the names of the Secretary of the Six Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of Justice were decided.

"The Secretary of the Central Secretariat, the Secretary of the Three Secretariat each has its own duties. The Secretary of the Central Secretariat issued orders, and all the imperial decrees and orders of the court were issued by the Secretary of the Court, and in name was the emperor's edict, which was called an edict in the Tang Dynasty. In any orders that were important political affairs must be issued by the Emperor. But in fact, the emperor himself did not write an edict, but the Secretary of the Secretariat drafted it, which was called an edict. In the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat was the chief official, and there were also the Second Assistant Officer of the Central Secretariat, and there were also the Secretariat attendants under the Secretariat, with seven or eight people in the posts." Wang Yinglin continued to explain.

"In the Tang Dynasty, the three-provincial system, the Zhongshu Sheren was not at a high level, but they had the right to write edicts. When the Zhongshu Sheren issued the edicts, they were mostly drafted by them. The Zhongshu Sheren drafted the manuscripts by each of the three-children, which was called the Five Flowers Judgment. Then the Zhongshu Ling or the Zhongshu Sheren selected a draft from many first drafts, supplemented it and became a formal edict, and then submitted the emperor to draw a word of edict. After painting the edict, it became the emperor's edict, and then went to the Ministry of Education. Therefore, the power of the imperial court to make an order during the Tang Dynasty was actually in the Zhongshu Sheren."

"After writing various edicts in the tone of the emperor, the Secretariat will send these edicts to the Menxia Province, and the Menxia Province will review them. Regardless of whether the review can be passed, the Menxia Province will sign the review opinions on the edict and return them to the Secretariat. If the review is passed, the Secretariat will submit them to the imperial court. The emperor's imperial calligraphy will write the words "Can'an" and return them to the Secretariat. The original copy will be archived by the Secretariat. Another copy will be copied and stamped with the seal and handed over to the Secretariat. If the edict does not pass the review of the edict, the Menxia Province will also sign the unpassed opinions on the edict, and even directly modify them in unreasonable places on the edict, and then return them to the Secretariat."

"Hmm!" Zhao Bing nodded, but shook his head again, thinking that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was also controlled like himself and controlled like a puppet, and he was not happy.

"What's the matter with your Majesty?" Wang Yinglin saw the emperor nodding and shook his head, thinking there was something wrong, so he looked at him and asked.

"No, I'm just a little emotional!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and chuckled.

"Oh!" Wang Yinglin did not dare to ignore His Majesty's attitude, but after thinking about it, he understood the emperor's little thoughts and continued with a smile.

"The functions of the Shangshu Province were not very different from our dynasty in the Tang Dynasty. They were all implemented by the Shangshu Province after the agreement between the government affairs halls of all major affairs. The Shangshu Province was divided into six departments, including the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works. However, the order of the six departments was sometimes slightly changed. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it was changed to the official, the civil, the civil, the military, the criminal, the labor, and the labor. By the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the order was the official, the civil, the civil, the military, the civil, the civil, the criminal, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil, the civil

"Why did the later prime minister 'decided'?" Zhao Bing interrupted.

"This..." Wang Yinglin was stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly in his heart. He tried his best to avoid talking to His Majesty about the distribution of power, which made His Majesty feel disgusted, resulting in the failure of this matter. Otherwise, wouldn't he become the target of the public criticism of the Shilin? After all, becoming a prime minister is the ultimate wish of every scholar. And if you want to let His Majesty extinguish the idea of ​​restoring the three sentences because of your careless words, it would be a hundred deaths.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister's dereliction of duty is not caused by a moment, but by the world's burden of reputation and wanton expansion of power." Wang Yinglin pondered for a moment and reorganized the following words, "Your Majesty should know that the prime minister's power is divided into three provinces. Whenever the country is concerned, it is necessary to discuss it together. The place where the government is located is called the Political Affairs Hall. If you can enter it, you will be like the prime minister and will be sought after by scholars for a while."

"At the beginning of the system of discussion, it was only the head of the three provinces. But later, more and more officials participated in the discussion of the Political Affairs Hall. All officials who participated in the discussion of the Political Affairs Hall were equivalent to the prime minister. The power of the prime minister was further dispersed, and the number of people who called the prime minister increased day by day."

"Oh, at that time, the prime minister was afraid that he would become a fish in the river. Everyone could issue orders, which led to chaos in the government and a bad government!" Zhao Bing laughed and remembered the shipbuilding company in his previous life. It was also a family business, with a lot of brothers and children, either with the title of vice chairman or deputy general manager. He may not know much about the business, but with the title, he can have a say in the company office meeting.

Whenever an office meeting is held, it is a "grand event" for the company. The deputy leaders who are hard to see on weekdays will come as scheduled. Everyone is worried that any deputy general manager will smash his job if he is not careful. The most nervous is the security department. If those old men only talk, it would be fine. Maybe they will turn into military fights. They will have to come to the scene to suppress them. In the end, the security guards will often receive the "grievance award".

"That is, after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor stipulated that only those who were given the third rank of the Tongshu Sect and the Tongshu Sect and Pingzhang were the real prime ministers, and other officials could not be called prime ministers. There were fewer and fewer officials in the three provinces, so many officials in the three provinces were successively excluded from the rank of prime ministers. The three provinces and six ministries were in name only." Wang Yinglin replied.
Chapter completed!
