Chapter How to Match

At this time, Zhao Bing talked to the two, and always felt like a thorn in his throat. He couldn't help but miss his teacher Deng Guangjian. He had a straight temper, and he never knew what it was to be tactful. But at that time he had a lot of misunderstandings and disputes with him, thanks to Ying Jieyan's handling of it, otherwise, with his "bold temper" when he was young, I was afraid that he would have been expelled from the commander's mansion.

However, after so many years, Zhao Bing has gradually understood the way these ministers speak. First, you must carefully consider that there should be no ban or outspoken words in your words, otherwise you will be impeached and even lose your life regardless of what you say. Secondly, you must learn to observe your expressions and not make yourself unhappy; third, you must be careful when speaking, and do not speak directly. You must understand "tactic". To be straightforward, you must hide half of your words, and tentatively avoid losing room for maneuver.

Zhao Bing is very helpless about this kind of game where everyone is clenching their fists and playing puzzles. It takes time and effort. You have to grasp the keywords from a bunch of nonsense and find the key points before you know what they are going to say. Then you have to analyze carefully what they want to achieve what they say. Such a conversation becomes a game of wits and courage. Both sides are open and secretly, and they go back and forth, seeking solutions from it. Long conversations often last for multiple rounds to achieve results.

Of course, this method is not without benefits. At least everyone has enough time to consider it and will not get bored all of a sudden, making it difficult to continue to discuss. Zhao Bing was also "hardened" from it, learning negotiation skills and the art of speaking, and being able to express his meaning in obscure words, so that the ministers can understand the holy heart, know the holy intention, and make the right decisions.

Ministers should also show enough wisdom. If you have not guessed the emperor's meaning from seemingly unintentional words, or have a wrong intention, then don't blame the emperor for not giving you a chance. It is not necessarily a loss of office, but a cold bench is settled. Zhao Bing believes that this is actually the method of trump the blame for the superiors. If the matter is done wrong, it is because you are a minister who did it wrong. I have never said such a thing, and of course the blame cannot be put on your own head.

Of course, officials who can go to the palace to discuss matters are not easy. No one is mixed into old fry, and it is not easy to make them take the blame easily. They will try every means to avoid becoming the scapegoat. Of course, some people are willing to do it and are brave enough to take the blame for the emperor, but Zhao Bing dares not use such people. For example, Qin Hui takes the blame for Emperor Gaozong and Wang Fu takes the responsibility for Emperor Huizong, they all have a strong desire for power and purpose. He takes the blame for you, but you may lose your life as a result.

The conversation between the two sides just now was actually hidden. The three provinces were restored to the three provinces. It seemed that he had taken advantage of him, but in fact, Zhao Bing pointed out that it was not certain. Because at first glance, it seemed that he was dividing the power of the ministers, but in fact there was a division between the imperial power and the ministers, because he understood that there was no perfection in the world, and any system would still find infinite loopholes in the hands of shrewd emperors and powerful ministers.

The emperor could use envoys and officials to serve Yue, while the powerful ministers could easily cross the line through the Confucian school, thus gaining power. Huizong also developed a "Imperial Pen" system, which could bypass a series of systems and directly issue orders to the affairs department, leaving Cai Jing, who was in power at that time, could do nothing.

Some people may say that the three-provincial system can be called the prototype of the modern system and is a very advanced administrative management system. As a time traveler, you should understand very well why you still hesitate, either stupid or stupid! But Zhao Bing, who is in it, understands that the ancient three-provincial and six-department system and the modern separation of three powers are really not the same concept.

The three provinces and six ministries are an administrative whole, while the three powers are equal in the separation of powers, which is clearly different from the three provinces and six ministries. Among the three provinces, the Secretariat initiated the work of discussing politics and drafting edicts can actually be regarded as replacing the right of the imperial court to discuss; the Menxia Province reviewed the relevant draft edicts, which actually replaced part of the rights of the prime minister; the Secretariat is the actual executive organ, and the Six ministries are the executive departments of the Secretariat. It is not difficult to see from this that the Secretariat seems to have the functions of parliament and supervisory organs, but there are actually differences.

First of all, the legislative power is actually still retained in the hands of the emperor, and the supervision function under the sect is more like a tool used by the minister to fight against the imperial power. The Shangshu Province, as the actual executive body, seems to have been excluded from the competition between the emperor's power and the prime minister's power. But in fact, the relationship between the Shangshu Province and the six ministries also has a delicate balance between the prime minister's power and the imperial power. The Shangshu Chief Official is responsible to the emperor, while the Six ministries are the only orders for the prime minister's power.

Therefore, Zhao Bing thought that the three provinces and six ministries were reorganizing and distributing the imperial power and ministerial power at the same time, and did not have anything to do with the separation of the three powers. And from a modern perspective, the three provinces seemed very scientific, but the problem was that the administrative efficiency was inefficient, and more importantly, the emperor's power was not reflected. The power of the Shangshu Province was too great. After all, the Shangshu Province was the Shangshu Province, which was a danger of overshadowing the emperor...

"Bohou, I am deeply moved by what I say. Your Majesty is the fault of his minister!" Xie Fangde sighed.

"When I was tired, I thought that letting go of officials to govern the people can make me feel relaxed, but officials often act misconduct, which hurts the people and blames me for being stupid. It is hard to feel at ease." Zhao Bing also sighed lightly. He had already made a sound just now. He wanted to decentralize power, but he was worried that officials would harm the people if they were illegal.

"The "Outside the Right Lower" says: The ruler of a man is abide by the law and is responsible for making achievements. He heard that there are officials who are in chaos but there are people who are good, and he did not hear that there are officials who are in chaos but there are officials who are in charge of the people who are in charge of the people. Therefore, the wise ruler of officials does not govern the people. The theory is based on the root of shaking wood and the net of lead. Therefore, the slutty man who has caught fire must be ignored. For those who put out fire, the officials who run a pot and fire will be used by one person. If they use whips to send people, they will be used by ten thousand men." Wang Yinglin said.

Zhao Bing is sometimes speechless about these scholars who love to hang books and bags, and often quotes some difficult and difficult words from saints. If he had heard this a few years ago, he would have been stunned and didn't know what it meant. Fortunately, after hard study over the years, he could also know one or two. Here, the lord refers to the king. The king's duty is to govern officials, that is, govern officials, not the people.

The main theme of this passage is that the responsibilities of a king are to manage officials, and the responsibilities of an official are to manage the people. If there is any problem with the officials, they cannot blame the people, and they must hold officials accountable. If there is anything wrong with the people, such as accidents such as fires, they are dereliction of duty by officials and they must be held accountable. In an accident, the responsibilities of the official are to make full use of their organizational resources to extinguish the fire, so that the management of the country can be carried out and clear. Therefore, the wise ruler's responsibility is to govern officials rather than the people. If the officials are cured, the order in all aspects of society will naturally be straightened out.

"The Book of Shang Jun: The Confession of Envoys says: The emperor is with officials, and the matter is in harmony but the matter is profitable. Now Zuo Yu is in charge of the other party. If the horse is able to do so, then Zuo Yu has no choice but to escape from his evil, and the profit is different. If the profit is in harmony but to hate the same, the father cannot ask his son, and the king cannot ask his ministers. The officials are in harmony but to hate the same. The affairs are in harmony but to benefit but to dissatisfied is why the previous king is upright. What Your Majesty is worried about is also what the ancestors are worried about!" Wang Yinglin chuckled and slapped Duan Wendao.

Zhao Bing understood the reason for his words, but in fact he said two things: one is that in terms of national management, neither the monarch nor the minister can do without the other. This refers to "the relationship between affairs", but in terms of interest relations, the officials seek personal gain will inevitably infringe on the public interests of the country.

Zuo and Yu refer to horse raising and driving horses. It means that if horses can also be seen and spoken, then all the bad deeds of Zuo Yu cannot be concealed. Therefore, the interests between the two have opposite sides, which is the so-called "combination and profit and difference". Shang Yang used this to describe the relationship between officials and the people. Officials are the ones who rule and manage the people. Officials and the people are necessary elements of the state administrative agencies, which is a combination.

However, in terms of interest relations, if officials seek personal selfish interests, it will inevitably be contrary to the interests of the people. If the people can see and speak, then any personal evil of the officials will be exposed, and the officials will not escape their evil. The horse can see and cannot speak, and the people's eyes are sharp, so of course they can see clearly, and the people's mouths can also explain the evil things they see clearly. If the people's words are let go, then the officials will not escape their evils.

On the contrary, if the relationship between the two parties is "combined in profit but hates the same", if the interests of both parties are completely consistent, even if the father asks his son and the monarch asks his subordinates, he will not tell the truth about the interests. This is also what Shang Yang is worried about. Let the people speak and reveal the bad deeds of officials, what will the officials do?

They will use their functions as officials to govern the people and thus protect themselves. In plain words, in a region or unit, the interests between officials and officials are the same, and their likes and dislikes are the same. Therefore, when problems arise, no one will come forward to report this matter, and often form a series of cases and nest cases.

Therefore, if the top leaders of some departments and institutions that hold certain power in the local area commit crimes, they often lead a group of people in the team to participate in the matter and share interests. This is the reason for the continuous continuous cases. Therefore, in the bureaucratic system, to establish a supervisory agency, it is necessary to make the interests and jurisdictional affiliation between the two different rather than in line, which means mutual restraint.

"Well, my Censorate is under the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. If the Prime Minister violates the law, who will monitor it?" Zhao Bing nodded and agreed with their statement, but another new problem arises. What should I do if the three high-ranking officials violate the law and discipline?
