Chapter 730 - General, third in the middle of the court


In the West Chamber, Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng are extremely rare accidents.

Rulian Niang, in the past few years in the Li Mansion, has also lived a life where Miss Qianjin does not go out of the door and does not step out of the second door.

Her marriage, as her father's father and Li Chao's brother as her brother, is not a domineering interference, but a responsibility.

If Dad and Li Chao don't come forward, it will really become an old girl who is delayed.

And Li Chao chose for her, using the values of this era to choose, of course, it is the right one.

With such a choice, it will be easier for the couple to live in the future.

The door of the Li family, you can't choose a farmer for Lianniang, or a servant housekeeper or something.

"Didn't I arrange for Shuyu to come over and let Lianniang come and quietly see people a few times, what does she think of Shuyu?"

Li Chao's concept is very deviant in this era, for example, although she helped Lianniang get engaged to Wei Shuyu, she often provided some opportunities for Lianniang to quietly observe behind the screen when Wei Shuyu came to visit her home.

Let go of other houses, such a move is very rude.

But Li Chao thinks it's very ordinary, the husband he chooses for his sister must be liked by his sister.

If the husband and sister don't like it too much, then he will reconsider the marriage.

"Lianniang thinks that the Wei family is a good person, gentle and elegant, and polite."

Daddy said with a smile.

Wei Shuyu, who was also born in a scholar family, his father is a high-ranking official, and his mother is also from the Pei family, a famous family in Hedong, and the children taught by such a family are naturally not too bad.

Li Chao is also quite satisfied with Wei Shuyu.

"It's good if Lian'er likes it, if she doesn't like it, then I, the brother who chose her to marry, will be to blame."

Li Chao said with a smile.

"You still have a good eye for people, the Wei family Lang chosen for Lian'er, and the Fang family Lang chosen for Lan'er are all very good."

Dad has always treated his two daughters who are not his own daughters, in fact, as if he were treating Li Chao, his righteous son, very carefully.

"I heard that Duke Wei is very valued by His Majesty, and there is news that he will be appointed as Shang Shucheng after the year, which is an important position, and sooner or later he will be added as prime minister."

Shang Shucheng is Zuo Er, a subordinate of the servant, and now the structure of the center of the court has been slowly adjusted.

The core of the readjustment is the change in the functions and powers of the three provinces.

Since the Sui Dynasty, it has always been the center of the three provinces of Zhongshu under the Shangshu Gate, of which the Shangshu Province is the first of the centers.

But now, the emperor intends to make the two provinces of Zhongshu under the door of decision-making and review the real decision-making center of the imperial court, and the status of the original Shangshu Province is lowered, so that the decision-making is before the implementation.

The original political affairs hall, the decision-making center above the three provinces, was located in the capital hall of Shangshu Province, but now after arriving in Xiangyang, Li Shimin changed the political affairs hall to Zhongshu Province.

Under the three-province system, the province was not responsible for adjudicating government affairs.

However, with the reign of Li Shimin, a large number of documents such as proposals, tables, and pleadings have increased and the status of Zhongshu Province has changed, as well as the decrease in the emperor's deliberations in the upper court, the duties of the Zhongshu people to serve and perform have gradually developed into senatorial seals, and thus gradually gained the authority to adjudicate government affairs.

In today's court regulations, in the division of labor between the two provinces of Zhongshu from the bottom, the discussions, tables, and petitions are in the Zhongshu Province, and the officials of the Zhongshu Province discuss whether it is possible to sign and march with the emperor.

The power of the Zhongshu Sheren was only obtained from the emperor in the past two years, which was not even in history.

In history, this kind of power of the Zhongshu Sheren was gradually obtained at least until Wu Zetian's time.

The Zhongshu Sheren who have obtained this kind of power are actually extremely powerful, and the Zhongshusheren are also known as the Chu Xiang.

Nowadays, after the government affairs hall was moved from the Shangshu Province to the Zhongshu Province, the Zhongshu Province has become the center of government affairs, which has also adapted to the situation of a large increase in the number of documents such as the Manifestations.

It is in this situation that the new system of the six charges and the five flowers of the people of the Zhongshu House is developed.

In the past, the performance of the magistrate had to be presented by the Zhongshu Province, but in the past, the authority of the Zhongshu Province was only to serve and advance.

However, with the increase of local affairs, there are more and more pleadings played by local officials, so the province of Zhongshu has also developed towards the handling and adjudication of specific government affairs.

At the beginning of the emperor's year, the congratulatory table of the envoys of the Xuanfu of the Dao, the governor of the capital and the assassin of the prefectures, the governor of the capital and the five or more of the Beijing officials were outside, so that the Ministry of Rites was compared and sent to the book to record the account.

Later, there is a decree, all those who play military and state affairs must refer to the real state, and those who need to play the petition are all expressions, and they will be sent to the province of Zhongshu.

Today's Zhongshu Province is also in power.

At the same time that the province of Zhongshu is gradually obtaining government rulings, the power of the provincial capital of Shangshudu to decide government affairs is gradually being lost.

Although Shangshu's left and right servants are still almost the prime ministers and deputy prime ministers among several prime ministers, they have actually become the head of the prime ministers in the Zhongshu Provincial Political Affairs Hall, rather than the head of the provincial capital of Shangshu in the past.

For example, a few days before the New Year, Li Chao was reappointed by Li Shimin to the same Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, and the title of the school was added to the rank of the school's middle book, and he also served as the secretary of the household department.

The original title of Pingzhang has become the Pingzhang matter under the door of Tongzhongshu, and four words have been added, indicating that the center of the imperial court has now been transferred from Shangshudu Province to Zhongshu Province, and even Menxia Province has become the decision-making center of the imperial court together with Zhongshu.

Li Chao was originally the left servant of the school inspection book, but now it has become the school inspection order, which is not down but up.

Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the military department, and Dai Guan, the secretary of the ministry, all added the title of Pingzhang under the door of the same book, and were able to pay homage to the prime minister to attend the rumors of the political hall.

In fact, the government affairs adjudicated by the original Shangshudu Provincial Council have gradually transferred to the ruling of the Political Affairs Hall, which is actually no longer the three-province system since the Sui Dynasty, but has completely changed.

Under the previous three-province system, it was handled by the left and right servants of Shangshu, and the local government had to report the situation to Shangshu Province.

Now, the government affairs are decided by the Council of the Government Council, and the Government Hall is transferred to the Zhongshu Province.

Those who entered the political hall were no longer just the governors of the three provinces, but became the title of Pingzhang under the door of the same Zhongshu, and they were both prime ministers.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are now the heads of the prime ministers of the DPRK and China, not because of their position as servants and servants, but because of their official title of Pingzhangshi under the Tongzhong Shumen.

If you don't have this official title, even if you are a servant on the left and right, according to the new system, you can't attend the meeting of the political hall, and naturally you can't be the prime minister.

In today's court, the Zhongshu Order has been on an equal footing with the left and right servants, and even the Zhongshu Order is faintly surpassing the left and right servants, becoming the new host of the political affairs hall, Li Shimin is considering reappointing Fang Xuanling as the Zhongshu Order, with Du Ruhui as the servant, and the left and right servants are vacant.

To strengthen the determination of Zhongshu Province to replace Shangshu Province as the new center of the imperial court.

Basically, this matter has been decided, and on tomorrow's New Year's Day, the new appointments of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui will come down.

At that time, the left and right servants will be vacant, and at that time, Shangshu Province will actually be presided over by the two former left and right servant deputies of Shangshu Zuocheng and Shangshu Youcheng.

Shangshu left and right Cheng will become the de facto head of Shangshu Province, and his authority will be greatly increased.

Although the authority of Shangshu Province has weakened on the whole, the authority of Shangshu has increased.

Even if Shangshu can't enter the political hall, it can be regarded as only one step away from the political hall.

Wei Zheng, a secretary of the third grade, was changed to Shangshu Zuocheng, who was a fourth grade, looked like a demotion, but in terms of authority, it was not the same.

Dad said that Wei Zheng is the prime minister, which is not an exaggeration, just like Ma Zhou, the person of the Zhongshu House, is now called the prime minister.

Shangshu Zuocheng and the six Zhongshu people in Zhongshu Province are all a group of people who are now extremely powerful in the center of the imperial court.

Hefang Du was transferred from Shangshu Province to Zhongmen Shuxia for this big change, and the political hall will also be renamed next year.

At that time, the political hall was officially renamed Zhongshu Menxia, which would mark the formal establishment of the system of Zhongshu Menxia as the center of the imperial court.

The Zhongshu Gate is roughly the same as the political affairs hall in the past, that is, the prime ministers adjudicate the substantive permanent institutions of government affairs, and have their own independent seals, official documents and bureaucrats, which are called the seals of the Zhongshu Gate, and the official documents that independently adjudicate government affairs will be called the Tang Tie or Tang Case, and the subordinates are called the five rooms, and the officials behind the hall.

This is a set of political system that is very different from the three-province system since the Sui Dynasty, which can be called the Zhongshu Door System, relative to the three-province system, the basic characteristics of the Zhongshu Door system, that is, the prime minister has a permanent body for adjudicating government affairs, the Zhongshu Gate has become the highest decision-making and administrative organ above the three provinces, and the six temple supervisors who have made posts and posts become the main body of government affairs, and the official documents involving the government affairs of the imperial court have formed a new procedure for uploading and disseminating.

In the new dynasty and new atmosphere, Li Shimin changed the three-province system with Shangshu Province as the center in the past, and came up with the current set of Zhongshu Sect group slaughter system, in fact, it also greatly weakened the authority of the prime ministers, under the past three-province system, although the governors of the three provinces were all prime ministers, but the number of prime ministers was small, and the authority of the left and right servants was very great.

Sui fashion book order authority is the largest, and then the Shangshu order has been vacant for a long time, and the authority of the left and right servants is still great, until now, Li Shimin simply put the Shangshu province to the air, and the left and right servants are also vacant, with the Zhongshu Men under the Pingzhang matter as the phase, the governors of the three provinces and the six Shangshu, Shilang, etc., as long as they add this title, they can all worship the prime minister, and enter the Zhongshu Door to participate in the major affairs of the court.

In this way, although the number of prime ministers seems to have increased, in fact, the authority in the hands of the prime minister has been dispersed, and it is difficult to appear powerful ministers with extremely heavy authority like Gao Ying, Yang Su, and Pei Lin in the past.

This change may still be vague for many officials in Datang, especially many local officials.

But for Li Chao, who was in the center, he had already clearly grasped Li Shimin's true intentions.

He clearly saw that Li Shimin's adjustments could actually be said to be a re-structural layout.

This is a major change in the center of the imperial court, and this change makes the emperor have stronger control over the government.

However, although the center will usher in a great change, Li Chao will still be the pillar of the court whose status will not be shaken in this change.

Shangzhu Guo, the crown prince and the prince, the prince Zhan Shi, the Kaifu Yitong three divisions, the inspection of the school Zhongshu Ling, Zhao Guogong, the hereditary Fengzhou Thorn History, the household department Shangshu Li Chao, but also concurrently served as Jing Zhao Yin, Xiangyang Mansion Yin, Shannan Dong Xuanfu Envoy, Shannan Dong Metropolitan Governor, Han Jing Construction Envoy, Han Jing Mansion Yin, Salt and Iron Envoy and a series of other positions.

In the new Zhenguan Dynasty, Li Chao's status in the court has not even decreased but risen, and he will only rank behind Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to become the third person in the court t1706231537:
