Chapter 1348 Power Fight

In the spring of the fifth year of Yuanfeng, the first month of Xinchou, he was given the title of Su You, Gao Zunyu, and Li Shun ascended the Western Expedition.

In the Western Expedition, all the troops advanced and were stationed in various states. The generals were transformed into prefectures. The officials ordered by Bingchang were appointed as general magistrates.

The three-way transfer department of Su You, the Ministry of Pacification Department of Li Shunju, the prosecutor's department of prosecutors, and the public dismantled them to be dismantled.

Su You reported that he would use the original pseudo-Xia Palace Temple to dismantle it as materials for building the school.

Zhao Xu approved the report.

On the Shun of Guichou, the "Three Provinces, the Privy Council, and the Six Caos" was issued.

In Gengxu, the Jurchen minister of Huanglong Prefecture was attached to Liao, and was given an official position and a seal was given.

Renxu, Yang Wan, a book by Chongwen Academy, compiled the "Detailed Literature of the Suburb Temples since Yuanfeng", and completed thirty volumes to improve.

Yichou, Xu Xi, the chief edict of Zhilongtu Pavilion, was also the chief censor of the Censor.

Guiyou, the official was made, and Wang Gui, the secretary of the Secretariat of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, was appointed as the secretary of the Shangshu, and Cai Que, the secretary of the Political Affairs Office, and the secretary of the Shangshu, and the secretary of the Shangshu, was appointed as the secretary of the Shangshu, and the secretary of the Zhongshu.

Jiaxu, he appointed Zhang Dun as his subordinate minister and Su Song as his minister of the political affairs.

Hanlin scholar Pu Zongmeng was the left chief of the Shangshu, and Hanlin scholar Cai Jing was the right chief of the Shangshu.

When he first discussed the official system, he imitated the "Six Dictations of Tang Dynasty". No matter how big or small it was, he also obtained the orders of the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, and reviewed the subordinates, and the Secretary of the State accepted it and performed it;

The three provinces reported on their own responsibilities, and each performed its own duties, and the political responsibility was also returned to the Secretariat.

It was not until the trump card was fully revealed that Wang Gui realized that he had been fooled by Cai Que like a monkey.

Because before the restructuring, Cai Que always played the role of Wang Gui's assistant and was deeply trusted by Wang Gui.

Cai Que once said to Wang Gui privately: "If you are in the prime minister for a long time, you will be appointed as the Minister of the Central Secretariat."

Since Su You left the court and presided over the overall situation of the Western Expedition, Wang Gui believed that there was no competitor and believed it.

According to rumors, one day after Cai Que reported to Zhao Xu, he stayed to communicate with Zhao Xu alone: ​​"Your Majesty restored the Tang system, and the three high officials have high positions. If the order is set up, the power position is too heavy, it is better to use the left and right servants as ministers of the two provinces, which is enough."

There are some tricks here. You should know that the Yuanfeng restructuring was carried out under the banner of restoring the Tang system.

The highest-ranking bureaucrats in the Tang system were the third divisions, namely the Taishi, the Taifu, and the Taibao; and the Three Dukes, namely the Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong. They were all first-rank.

However, these official positions are too powerful and are therefore void, which means that they are honorary titles for important officials after retirement and do not receive real positions.

The Tang Dynasty followed the Sui Dynasty, and the next step was the true highest government agency of the country - the three provinces, namely the Secretariat, the Menxia Province, and the Secretariat.

Only then are they truly responsible for the decision-making, review and implementation of national government affairs respectively.

Let’s first talk about the Shangshu Province, which has little to do with this matter. The Shangshu Province has jurisdiction over the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Works, and departments under the six ministries.

The heads of each department are called Shangshu, the deputy heads are called Shilang, the chiefs of each department, and the deputy heads are called Langzhong and Yuanwailang.

The six ministries must be in charge. The Secretariat also has a general organization called "Duzhou". Among the Secretariat, there are the left and right ministers of the Secretariat, as well as the left and right ministers, the Yuanwailang, the three ministries in charge of officials, households, the left and left rites, the left and the military, the punishment, and the right craftsmen.

Among them, the left and right chiefs are in the administrative supervision position, while the left and right chiefs are in the nature of general affairs management.

Next is the key to this matter.

Among the three provinces, the Secretariat Province, which is responsible for decision-making and deliberation, is most closely related to the Menxia Province, so they are collectively called the two provinces or the northern provinces, while the Secretariat Province mentioned above is called the Southern Province alone.

The chief of the Northern Province is the Secretary of the Central Committee and the Shizhong.

The Secretariat and Menxia Province jointly uphold military and national political leaders. The Secretariat is in charge of the decision-making and the Menxia Province is in charge of the seal and refutation and deliberation.

All important military and national policies are pre-determined by the Secretariat and drafted as edicts, handed over to the Menxia Province for review and re-report, and then handed over to the Secretariat for promulgation and implementation.

The subtlety of Cai Que's suggestion is to tell Zhao Xu that the power of Zhongshuling was actually too high.

Your Majesty, if this happens, the Yuanfeng reform will become a change of soup and no medicine. So Your Majesty, it is better to just put the Zhongshu Ling and the Shangshu Ling into a false statement.

Of course, Zhao Xu was surprised by the pie that fell from the sky.

Isn’t it just to reduce the power of the prime minister after working hard for several years? Now the second-in-command of civil servants surrendered and said that we don’t want the top leader of His Majesty!

For Zhao Xu, who has always wanted to take the imperial sect, this is of course a great thing.

So "the emperor followed it."

It's fun now. Originally, the highest administrative body of the Three Provinces and Six Ministry, the Shangshu Province should have a Shangshu Ling. However, because Emperor Taizong of Tang served as the Shangshu Ling before he ascended the throne, no one dared to serve as the Shangshu Ling after Emperor Taizong of Tang ascended the throne.

The Shangshu Ling was gone, and the head of the Shangshu Province became Shangshu's left and right servants. Although he was respectful to the left, he was actually at the same level.

Now Cai Que and Wang Gui become equal.

It's not over yet. If the Secretariat still exists, Wang Gui will also become Cai Que's direct leader and will be able to take charge of Cai Que's as the Secretariat.

As a result, when the Zhongshu Ling was abolished by Cai Que's suggestion, Cai Que became the actual manager of the Zhongshu Province, while Wang Gui became the actual manager of the Junshi Province.

As I have just said, the Secretariat is the department in charge of the decision-making of orders and decision-making, and the department in charge of the department is the department in charge of the refutation and deliberation, so Cai Que became the actual prime minister. He discussed any decisions with Zhao Xu and then handed them over to Wang Gui. If you have the courage, please refute them!

Does Wang Gui dare? He dare not.

So this nominal prime minister actually turned into a serious ground-dough sticker stamp!

Wang Gui was completely stunned. How did this trick become like this?!

This turned out that Cai Que and Zhao Xu were united to undermine Prime Minister Wang Gui, so "it was called the second prime minister, but it was actually a dictatorship. Gui gave up his hand, and no one could hear of any officials."

Wang Gui is so regretful. If Su Mingrun is still in the court, it will not be the turn of a villain Cai Chizheng, who is arrogant!

In the court, honest people will naturally be unlucky, but fortunately, there are still traitors to deal with them.

After Cai Que was successful, he wanted to continue to strengthen his position, so he suggested to Zhao Xu again that the Shangshu Province should add the word "up" to the beginning of the document to the Secretariat to express respect.

Who is the Right Chief of Shangshu? Cai Jing.

So Cai Jing said that this is unreasonable: "The three provinces are all political affairs, and etiquette should be uniform; it is indeed necessary to be serious about people, and the law changes from people to people, and it is not to respect the country."

It means that the system of three provinces is theoretically at the same level, with three high officials, Shangshu Ling, Zhongshu Ling, and Shizhong, three identical ranks.

And then the next level is that the Shangshu left and right servants, the Zhongshu Shilang, and the Junshu Shilang, are also at the same level.

Now Cai Que and Wang Gui have taken over the first four positions. If I submit official documents to the left and right ministers of Shangshu, then the word "Shang" can be written.

But as the department of the Shangshu Province submitted official documents to the Department of the Secretariat, the word "shang" is not suitable, right?

This is the theoretical basis for the principle of "putting people as important as the slightest, not respecting the country."

Although Zhao Xu gave the positions of Prime Minister Wang Gui, Cai Que and the second prime minister, he actually did not give much respect to these two people. Many times, because of their small fines, they became jokes in the court.

"The Prime Minister has not been punished by Kinmen before, and everyone is ashamed of it."

It was precisely because Cai Jing saw this clearly that he dared to beat Cai Que's hand that crossed the line.

Because of this battle, Cai did not give the imperial power benefits, and the imperial power would no longer support him.

Therefore, Cai Jing did not give Cai Que any face at all, and asked Zhao Xu directly: "Your Majesty is the prime minister, how can you be so outstanding with your talent and skills? Is it true that you are moving to this position?"

Zhao Xu was honest: "It's suitable for this position."

It means that this is not the time of the reform, it happened to be him in this position.

Cai Jing turned around and smiled at Cai Que, "Look, Your Majesty said it was 'suitable for this position', how could he be arrogant!"

Cai Que had to give up in disappointment.
Chapter completed!
