Chapter 441 Restructuring


Chang'an, hunting ground in the suburbs.

Liu Cheng chased an antelope on horseback for half an hour before he found an opportunity.

This guy was hiding in a bush, and his shooting range was only the size of a bowl.

Liu Cheng took out an arrow and put it on the bowstring, took aim and was about to release the arrow.

The antelope seemed to notice it and jumped out with a kick of its limbs.

He was not angry.

Hunting requires patience.

Being impatient will definitely lead to a mediocre performance.

The antelope suddenly jumped into an open area.

Liu Cheng's eyes lit up at the opportunity, and he immediately started running sideways on his horse, and shot the arrow based on his feeling from a long distance.

With a "whoosh" sound, the antelope fell to the ground, struggling and twitching.

"Driving" Liu Cheng rushed over on his horse, leaned over and stretched out his arms to pick up the antelope that was hit by the arrow.

At this time, the guards behind also rode over and Liu Cheng threw the antelope over: "Go on" A guard opened his arms to catch the antelope, but his face was red.

The antelope weighed thirty kilograms, and the impact of being thrown could be imagined.

It was not easy for the guard to catch it.

"My lord, my lord!"

Jia Xu, dressed in regular clothes, galloped over on horseback, shouting as he ran.

Liu Cheng turned his horse and looked around, then turned around and asked, "Jia Wenhe, you want to bother me when I go out to hunt, can you let me rest for a few days?"

Jia Xuler stopped his horse and smiled wryly, cupping his hands and saying, "My lord, if it were a trivial matter, I would have handled it myself, but this matter is a big deal."

"It's time to take a break.

Let's go talk under the shade of a tree."

Liu Cheng said, jumped off the horse and handed the horse to the guard.

He told the others: "Skin and roast the antelope, faster."

"yes" A guard had already placed two small horses under the big tree.

Liu Cheng took the water bag handed over by a guard, waved to Jia Xu, and the two of them arrived under the big tree one after another.

Liu Cheng sat down on a horse, opened the water bag and drank a few sips, and said to Jia Xu: "Sit down and talk."

"Yes."

Jia Xu agreed with his hands, sat down at Xiaomaza next to him and said to Liu Cheng: "I just received the battle report sent by General Zhang Liao.

Karasuma will replace Shanyu Tadun, Liaodong, Youbeiping, Shanggu and other three places.

The king was all laid to death.

Our army killed more than 30,000 Karasuma cavalry and captured more than 12,000 people.

Karasuma Shanyulouban led tens of thousands of old and weak prisoners, and a memorial was sent to Chang'an soon to ask for merit.

The memorial was sent to Chang'an. " "Hahaha, okay."

Liu Cheng laughed and said, "I said that Zhang Liao has the talent of a general and can act alone.

This time, I did not disappoint."

Jia Xu handed the battle report sent by Zhang Liao to Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng took it and read it over, and said: "The handling of those Karasuma old, weak women and children and the more than 10,000 captive Karasuma cavalry is a troublesome issue. , put this matter on hold for the time being, and wait until tomorrow to convene the important officials of the imperial court to discuss it before making a decision.

How is the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan going?"

Jia Xu said: "After summarizing and analyzing the information collected from various places, I am afraid that Gongsun Zan will not be able to hold on for long.

I think the court should make plans early."

Liu Cheng thought for a while and said: "It is better to let them decide the winner for the time being.

If the court had prepared in advance, they would not give it a go.

Don't underestimate these people.

I dare to say that they are already here."

There are spies in Chang'an City, and the imperial court's Even if Yuan Shao defeats Gongsun Zan, he will not be able to completely control Youzhou in a short period of time.

The imperial court will have enough time to make arrangements and attack Youzhou.

When the time comes, the imperial army will attack from both sides.

I want to see how Yuan Shao resists."

Jia Xu leaned forward and said, "Yes."

Liu Cheng got up and walked along the shade of the tree, and Jia Xu followed.

"By the way, what do you think about the official reform proposed by this king?"

Liu Cheng asked as he walked.

The reform of the official system has been proposed for more than a year and almost two years.

During this time, not only court officials, but also local officials have also held a lot of discussions.

The focus of the reform of the official system is the three provinces and six ministries system proposed by Liu Cheng.

The Shangshu Desi was taken out of the Shaofu and changed into the Shangshu Province, responsible for central decision-making; the Menxia Province was established to review government orders and edicts; the Zhongshu Province was established to take charge of confidential government affairs, Promulgation of the Regent's Order.

At the same time as the reform of the official system, there is also the proposal of official grades.

The grades of civil servants are divided into nine grades and eighteen grades, with the highest grade being the first grade and the lowest grade being the ninth grade.

Each grade is divided into two levels: promotion and subordinate.

Military attachés do not talk about grades, but only military positions and ranks.

Military ranks are divided into six and eighteen ranks.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "This matter has been brought up for more than a year.

At present, the opinions of all parties in the government and the opposition have basically reached an agreement.

I think it is time to promulgate and implement it."

Liu Cheng nodded and said: "Well, I will listen to Xun Yu and others' opinions on this matter.

In addition, the emperor needs to say hello.

For such a big thing like restructuring, we still need to obtain the emperor's consent."

Jia Xu didn't answer.

The two talked about the situation in Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou.

Jia Xu said: "My lord, I heard that Liu Bei was actively recruiting soldiers after he stationed his army in Xiaopei, and now it has grown to more than 10,000 soldiers.

Lu Bu is very afraid of this and has already planned to send troops to attack Liu Bei."

Liu Cheng was quite surprised: "Oh, Liu Bei has such a strong appeal, but his soldiers are not so easy to recruit."

"Liu Bei has a reputation of benevolence and righteousness.

I don't know what other people think of me, but my subordinates think that Liu Bei is quite good at pretending.

The people really hate him."

Jia Xu shook his head as he spoke, and then suggested to Liu Cheng: "My lord, my subordinates feel that if Lu Bu really leads the army to attack Liu Bei, the imperial court can order Chen Gong and Xu Rong to send troops to attack Xiapi in one fell swoop and seize it."

Now that Chen Gong and Xu Rong have been in Qingzhou for seven years, Lu Bu has gained a foothold, and Qingzhou has also developed.

It is time for them to contribute."

"Yes, they have been there long enough."

At this time, the antelope meat was already roasted, and a soldier brought a piece of roasted antelope meat to Liu Cheng and Jia Xu.

Liu Cheng cut off a piece with a knife and tasted it.

The skill of the barbecue soldiers was pretty good, and the flavor was baked in.

Liu Cheng ate five kilograms of meat in one breath.

Five kilograms of meat sounds scary, but it is really not much for people like Liu Cheng who have extraordinary strength.

The higher the strength, the more energy they consume every day than other people.

Eating a few kilograms of meat is nothing.

Jia Xu was full after only eating a small piece and could not eat any more, while Liu Cheng not only ate five kilograms of meat, but also drank a jar of wine.

The next day, Liu Cheng summoned the courtiers and officials to discuss matters at the Regent's Palace.

In the palace's meeting hall, there were many civil servants and military generals gathered together.

Liu Cheng looked at the crowd and said: "Today I have brought you here to discuss two main things.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

First of all, the first thing is the reform of the official system and the military system.

This matter has been proposed for more than a year.

At present, we are still following the previous plan.

The decision-making, promulgation, and implementation of many government and military orders have been severely hindered, and have reached the point where changes have to be made.

Today, this matter must have a result.

If you have any different ideas that you can put forward, I will "No guilt" The courtiers and officials looked at each other.

Xun Yu thought for a moment and stood up first and said: "My lord, all the other subordinates agree, but it seems that the eunuchs in this sect are responsible for it.

It doesn't seem good to hand over such authority to the eunuchs."

Bar" Liu Cheng explained: "The king's original plan was indeed to let the eunuchs be in charge of the provinces, but after all, the emperor is not in charge of the government now, so it seems a bit awkward for the eunuchs to be in charge of the provinces.

The birth of the three provinces and six ministries was actually responsible for the regent's palace. , so the people in each yamen agency are all courtiers and officials, and they can no longer use eunuchs.

I thought about it for a long time and decided to make it more powerful than the three provinces and six ministries.

A yamen is the highest decision-making body and is the cabinet.

The king is fully responsible for it.

In addition to the six ministries, an inspectorate is established to take charge of the supervision of officials.

The members of the cabinet are Shangshu Ling and Shangshu.

Among the six people, Zuo Pu She, Zhong Shu Ling, and Men Ling, one is the chief assistant of the cabinet, another is the secondary assistant, and the other four are members."

All the courtiers and officials began to discuss in low voices.

At this time, a man stood up and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I think the power of the Ministry of Punishment is too great.

It integrates punishment, trial and judgment.

The powers of the Ministry of Punishment should be separated out, and the power of the Ministry of Punishment can be assigned to the Ministry of Punishment for investigation, prosecution and sentencing." power, take the power of trial and judgment out of another yamen in the city."

The three provinces and six ministries only abolished the yamen of Tingwei, and all the powers related to the case were transferred to the Ministry of Punishment.

It was indeed too heavy.

Many officials and ministers agreed with this person's proposal.

Liu Cheng thought for a while and said: "It makes sense, then give the power of investigation and punishment to the Ministry of Punishment, and set up a Dali Temple to be responsible for trial and judgment.

If the case involves officials, ministers, palace nobles, let the Ministry of Punishment , Dali Temple and the Inspectorate are conducting a three-division joint trial.

Do you have any other thoughts or opinions?"

At this time, someone stood up and asked: "My lord, the official positions of civil servants are divided into nine grades and eighteen grades, and the military ranks of military attachés are divided into six grades and eighteen grades.

Is there any comparison between civil and military officials who are more junior and who is more important?

What should happen if a civilian official meets a military attaché?

Distinguish between sizes"

Liu Chengze said: "Once the new official system and military system are promulgated, the civil and military systems will be divided and go hand in hand.

Civilian officials will not control the army, and military attachés will not do political affairs.

Military ranks are related to grades, one level corresponds to the other, and the higher one will be respected, except for the state and county soldiers.

Except under the jurisdiction of local officials, local officials are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the local garrison, let alone have contact with the local garrison generals.

If the garrison officers and soldiers disturb public order, violate the law and discipline, The local officials can negotiate with the garrison generals, who will impose punishments and give explanations.

If the garrison generals ignore, shield, or protect them, the local officials can complain to the garrison generals' superior generals, who must report the matter as quickly as possible.

Send people to verify and make fair dispositions.

Later, the military will set up a special military discipline supervision office to be responsible for investigating and handling disciplinary officers and generals
