Li Chongjiu said it was open and honest, but in fact he was the monopoly of power and dictatorship. Wei Zheng was not easy to fool, so he would not be able to be beaten by Li Chongjiu's two-word style.

As expected, Wei Zheng's temper suddenly came up, and he shook his sleeves and said, "As the saying goes, wisdom is enough to refuse advice, and words are enough to pretend. Prince, are you using these words to discourage the weak ministers?"

Li Chongjiu thought to himself that he had not given the important responsibility of the disciples to Wei Zheng, and he was like this now and would be more than good in the future. Li Chongjiu had to admire Li Shimin from the bottom of his heart. I wonder what he felt when he was signing the imperial edict and then returning from the disciples to the disciples one by one.

Li Chongjiu said calmly: "It is difficult to start a business, but it is not easy to maintain success. How could he hear that the Qin Emperor and Han ancestors have to be punished by others? Even Li Si, Xiao He and Zhang Liang are just giving advice and running around."

Although Li Chongjiu said peacefully, he revealed an unquestionable attitude in his words. Even Wei Zheng was stunned. Li Chongjiu glanced at everyone and said, "I will not give the right to refute anyone, and this matter cannot be changed."

Li Chongjiu first drew a path, which is the principle, that is, the bottom line, and negotiations are not allowed.

A major disadvantage in the later period of the three provinces and six ministries was that the Secretariat and the two provinces fought there. If the officials of the two provinces were not harmonious, the Secretariat and the Secretariat wrote the Secretariat and the Secretariat were refuted one by one, and it would be easy to be used by the party and become a battlefield for both sides to beat the ball.

There can be many people involved in the political discussion, but there can only be one person who makes the decision to draw conclusions.

Since it was impossible to separate the three powers in ancient times, Li Chongjiu took over the decision-making power of Menxia Province to the monarchy. He handed over the Secretariat, who discussed politics and the Secretariat, who governed politics, to the ministers, to achieve the result of checks and balances between the power of the monarchy and the power of the ministers. This is also the advantage of the system of the empty monarchy in the Ming Dynasty.

Li Chongjiu first declared his bottom line. Later, he said: "As we all know, the Emperor of Sui was a very smart and wise emperor, but smart and wise people were often very fond of merit. Therefore, the ministers who were flattering below responded to the sage's will, and then they had three campaigns of Goguryeo and opened the canal to empty the national strength. The Emperor of Sui liked to interfere in the affairs of his ministers and in such chaos. Therefore, the abolition of the Menxia Provincial Department was not the only cause of the destruction of the Great Sui Dynasty, but the affairs of the Minister of the Emperor of Shang Dynasty were the real destruction of the Great Sui Dynasty."

Everyone seemed to have another mystery when they listened to Li Chongjiu's words. Should Li Chongjiu not interfere, the Secretariat and the Secretariat?

Li Chongjiu said, "Therefore, my reform is not to fully imitate the old dynasty, nor to abolish the Menxia Province, but to strengthen the Secretariat, and weaken the power of the Menxia Province and abolish the Shangshu Order. Do you understand?"

"I beg you to tell me!" Wen Yanbo said with his fists.

Li Chongjiu pondered for a while. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were countless precedents such as Wang Mang and Cao Cao, especially the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The prime minister has become synonymous with usurpers, so after the three provinces and six ministries, the prime minister was divided into three to prevent others from being proficient. In the Sui Dynasty, the Central Secretariat, the Shangshu Ling, and the Shizhong can be called prime ministers. Becoming the civil officials leader, this is the result of the separation of prime ministers.

But in this way, there are still powerful ministers. The Shangshu Ling is the first to be eye-catching. There are words in the agenda of all officials. The Shangshu Provincial Department is in charge of everything, which means there is no matter in the world that the Shangshu Provincial Department cannot manage.

Therefore, since the establishment of the five provinces and six Caos of the Sui Dynasty, the Shangshu Ling has almost become a false title. For example, after Li Tang and Li Shimin served as Shangshu Ling, no one was appointed anymore, and he was replaced by Shangshu Pushe. Later, even the Zhongshu Ling and Shizhong became a false title. This was all to prevent the ministers from being dictatorial, so he strengthened the monarch's power and achieved the effect of checks and balances of power.

However, Li Chongjiu was not prepared and abolished the Shangshu Ling and the Zhongshu Ling. He had already made it clear that checks and balances of power are all about peace in the world and a stable regime, so he would seek structural stability internally because there were no external troubles.

Now that the world is in power, and the four directions are not yet stable, the primary requirement is to implement government orders, to be effective from the top, and to have decisive execution. This requires a strong monarchy. Therefore, all emperors who came from civil servants in all dynasties were decisive and decisive people. Therefore, Wei Zheng proposed to set up a ministry to restrict the monarchy, which was absolutely impossible for Li Chongjiu.

After pondering for a while, Li Chongjiu finally made his decision and said, "In the official system of Zhao State, the Ministry of Education deposed the Shizhong, and the Second-Chief of the Secretary of the Ministry of Education deposed the Minister of the Huangmen, and only six counselors were appointed to correct the gains and losses of the memorials; the Minister of Education deposed the Shangshu Ling, and the Second-Chief of the Secretary of Education left and right, and the Secretary of Education left, and the Minister of Education left, and the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of Education left, and the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works. The Minister of Education established one Zhongshu Ling, four Zhongshu Shen, and eight Zhongshu She."

After Li Chongjiu made the decision, Wen Yanbo and others were thinking about the meaning. However, Li Chongjiu abolished Shizhong and Huangmen Seiya, the power of the Menxia Provincial Department was much worse than before, and it was almost useless. The Shangshu Provincial Department abolished the Shangshu Order and appointed the left and right purshes, and its power was weakened. Among the three provincial chiefs, only the Zhongshu Ling was left.

Li Chongjiuyan wants to strengthen the Secretariat, how to strengthen it?

Wen Yanbo asked: "In the past, the official documents submitted by each county must be first passed by the Secretariat, and then reviewed by the Menxia Province, and then handed over to the Emperor and the Secretariat. There is no Zhongshu Order at present, so will all official documents be submitted directly to the King by the Secretariat?"

"No, I have already arranged it," Li Chongjiu said with a serious expression. "All documents are submitted to the Secretariat first. For example, if you submit them to the Secretariat, such as the commendation, thank you, congratulations, etc., the Secretariat will handle all the unimportant documents, leaving only the official documents for the Secretariat to report to the Secretariat. Before all the documents of the Secretariat, write a copy of the draft reply on the paper and attach it to the Secretariat to read. If the Secretariat allows you, it will be sent to the Secretariat. If you cannot, it will be re-written."

As soon as this statement was made, everyone was amazed that the power of the Secretariat was suddenly increased. The main task of the Secretariat was to wait for the emperor to draft an edict. At present, all official documents from all over the country were submitted and handed over, which was equivalent to the officials' words in his hands.

Wei Zheng heard the words and said, "I am worried about this. The power of the Secretariat is not too great. If a treacherous minister is confused and blocks the way of speech, and is unable to reach the heavens, isn't it a repeat of the same mistake? Why not let the censors in the Menxia Province supervise them."

As soon as these words were said, several people had a little unnatural face. According to the current situation, the first Secretary of the State of Zhao was probably served by Wen Yanbo. Didn’t Wei Zheng say this doubt Wen Yanbo? But everyone looked at him, Wen Yanbo’s face was calm and he had no resentment at all. He really had the demeanor of a prime minister.

Li Chongjiu nodded. This was also a problem for all dynasties. The most famous Zhongshu Ling in history was Yang Linfu and Yang Guozhong. The two blocked the way of speech and bullied the superiors but did not hide the subordinates, which made the whole country excited. The only reason was that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was kept in the dark.

Li Chongjiu pondered and said, "Wei Aiqing's words are very true, and the counselors of the Ministry of Education should indeed supervise the actions of the Secretariat."

Wei Zhengyan said: "But the counselor of the Ministry of Education is only at the fifth rank. How can we question the senior official of the second rank?"

Li Chongjiu felt a headache for Wei Zheng's stubborn temper. After all, he still had to restore the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Education to fight against the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. Li Chongjiu couldn't help but think that in order to prevent the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet that replaced the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, had set up several Grand Secretarys to elbow each other to prevent the dictatorship of the Chief Secretary. But this was obviously not suitable. In Li Chongjiu's heart, the future Secretary of the Central Secretariat would have to assume the responsibility of Xiao He's rules. When he was leading his troops outside, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat would be in charge of the rear and handle matters of all sizes and big things. If someone sent to elbow and a dispute arose, would he still report to himself who was thousands of miles away to make a decision?

But Wei Zheng said that the danger of the Secretariat's orders controlling the government orders was not unreasonable.

Li Chongjiu said, "I will order the county magistrates to submit a special memorial to the Censorate, but they will not pass the Secretariat and directly accept the orphans to prevent the disadvantages. This is the case."

Wen Yanbo, Wei Zheng and others nodded one after another. This was a good idea. Everyone talked about it, but they all felt that there was no big loophole and they no longer had any objections.

But Wen Yanbo and Wei Zheng were surprised that Li Chongjiu seemed to have never discussed it with any other, but these systems were easily used, as if they were born to know it. Could it be that there are really geniuses from heaven in this world who are nobles from heaven?

Wen Yanbo, Wang Gui and others were all elites of this era, but they only had the word "convinced" at this moment. But they knew that these views in Li Chongjiu were all the result of thousands of years of struggle between the rulers and the ministers in the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties. Countless emperors and generals worked hard to study the method of checking and balance of power to this point, and Li Chongjiu made great strides in a short time without any effort.

The Zhao State system was decided, and the civil servants then paid the most attention to, who is the greater the official position and who is the less.

According to the official system of the Sui Dynasty, the three provincial governors were at the same level. Although they were at the same level, the Shangshu Provincial Secretary was above the Minister of the Menxia Provincial Minister, and the Minister of the Menxia Provincial Secretary was above the Minister of the Central Secretariat. In fact, this is also the embodiment of the power of the three ministries.

Li Chongjiu was dismissed from the Minister of the Secretariat and served as the Minister of the Huangmen, the Minister of the Shangshu, and the Minister of the Shangshu, among the civil officials, the Minister of the Shangshu, and the Minister of the Shangshu, the situation where the three of them were most respected. If they changed to the past, they could all be called prime ministers.

When Li Chongjiu first opened the government office and built the yamen, he regarded Wen Yanbo as the chief secretary and Chen Xiaoyi as the Sima, and he was the respect of civil servants.

But now, when Li Chongjiu was founded, he captured Taiyuan, Hengshan and Boling counties. The three counties were all big counties that were similar to Zhuo County, and their power was doubled. The matter was much more complicated. Wen Yanbo and Chen Xiaoyi were no longer suitable for everything.

Li Chongjiu is about to become emperor. Who is the new Secretary of the Central Secretariat?

Li Chongjiu looked at the ministers, Wen Yanbo and others lowered their eyes slightly, so as not to be seen by Li Chongjiu. Apart from the traitor who planned to usurp the throne, any civil servant who fought for the rest of his life was not to be above the temple and be the leader of the ministers.

Li Chongjiu paused and looked at Wen Yanbo. In another history, when Wen Yanbo defected to Li Tang, he moved from the Zhongshu Sheren to the Zhongshu Secretariat, and finally moved to the Zhongshu Ling in the fourth year of Zhenguan.
