Chapter 196 The First Emperor, Liu Bang, Emperor Wu of Han

Liu Bang's overthrow of the Qin Dynasty essentially overthrew Zhao Gao and continued Qin Shihuang's dream.

Liu Bang is a fan of Qin Shihuang, and what he did basically continued according to Qin Shihuang.

The Han followed the Qin system.

In order to counter Xiang Yu, Brother Liu Bang used a united front strategy.

Without seizing the world, the princes and kings with different surnames were entrusted in advance.

After Liu Bang became emperor, he could only implement the parallel system of prefectures and states.

The status of these princes and kings with different surnames is second only to the emperor. They monopolize power in the feudal country, support their own troops, collect taxes and mint coins by themselves, and become de facto independent kingdoms.

Some emperors often enfeoff the fiefs that have not yet been brought back to their own territory to the heroes below.

This is to encourage ministers to open up territories. For example, many heroes in Qin State did not have their fiefdoms in Qin State. This made those ministers very depressed.

To put it bluntly, it's just a cake, and you can't eat it at all.

But there are exceptions. For example, Su Qin used Taoyi as a fulcrum of leverage, because at that time the boss of Qin State was the fief king of Taoyi.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the prime minister had a lot of power. The prime minister could directly appoint officials with a value of less than 400 shi, and recommend officials with a value of less than 2000 shi. There was a high probability that the recommendation would be adopted. In this way, a huge interest group was formed around the prime minister.

The framework of China's great unification was solidified by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Qin Shihuang made a start. Emperor Wu of the Han adopted Zhufu Yan's suggestion and issued a decree of grace: In addition to being inherited by the eldest son, the throne of the princes and kings can also be inherited in the form of "tweeting grace" Separate the other sons in this Marquis.

The new Marquis was freed from the restrictions of the original kingdom, was geographically independent, and its political power was basically deprived, and it was under the jurisdiction of local county officials.

After constantly cutting watermelons like this, those vassal states became small countries with few people.

Emperor Wu cut off half of the Hou State at that time.

The problem of local separatism was solved, and Emperor Wu had to start to solve the problem of power ministers. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the Sino-Korean system in order to strengthen the imperial power and weaken the power of the prime minister.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty selected a group of low-status inner court personnel to participate in the government affairs. Most of these people were clerks of ordinary background and were easier to control.

Gradually, the decision-making center changed from the outer court to the inner court. The government affairs of the imperial court were often discussed with the ministers, ministers, generals and other close servants of the "Chinese court" in the inner court, and then informed the officials of the "outer court" headed by the prime minister.

The actual role of foreign court officials was deprived and became pure executors.

The establishment of the Sino-Korean system was not only the product of the contradiction between imperial power and relative power, but it also led to the later dictatorship of eunuchs and foreign relatives.

During the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, the power of the three princes of Da Sima (former Taiwei), Da Sikong (former Yushi Dafu) and Prime Minister (Da Situ) was further weakened, and they slowly moved towards honorary status.

The power of Shangshu was expanded, and Shangshuling was in charge, and five Caos were set up.

In the middle and late Han Dynasty, the central government affairs were gradually transferred from the Sangong to the three provinces, and the administrative affairs were gradually transferred from the Jiuqing to the Six Ministries.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the prefect was changed to the governor of the state, and he was in charge of the military and political power of the state. Once the local officials had guns, they became a separatist force.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, local administrative divisions were transformed from the two-level system of prefectures and counties to the three-level system of prefectures, counties, and counties.

Therefore, during the Three Kingdoms period, many people were called Zhou Mu, which means warlords.

For example, Cao Cao was a shepherd in Jizhou, and Lu Bu was a shepherd in Xuzhou.

Therefore, the barrel of the gun must not fall into the hands of the local government, otherwise it will be a separatist regime.

The evaluation of promotion in the Han Dynasty was mainly based on political achievements. The evaluations were all in the form of meetings, and public evaluations were held, similar to today's online question and answer.

In the end, the assessment report sheets of officials at all levels were uniformly submitted by the prime minister to the emperor, and the emperor reviewed the important ones, and those who performed well were given salary increases and titles.

Those who perform poorly will be degraded, salary cut, and serious empty openings will be dealt with.

But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many officials were appointed to sow discord.

The main line of the Han Dynasty was still the county system, in which the appointment and removal of cadres became the core power, and the selection of officials was mainly completed through the inspection system and the recruitment system.

The probation system is a selection system that inspects talents, then recommends them to superiors and even the central government from the bottom up, and then determines the appointment through assessment.

The main content of the investigation and assessment of the inspection system is filial piety and honesty; talents with outstanding talents; Mingjing who can understand the scriptures;

The expropriation system is a supplement to the investigation system, and it is mainly a selection system that recruits famous people for assessment and appointment.

Among them, "conscript" is conscripted by the emperor, and "pi" is conscripted by the local government.

Similar to today's walking wizards.

It can be said that the system of the Qin Dynasty can generally be said to be the creator and creator of the Chinese political system.

If there were no series of systems created by the Qin Dynasty based on national conditions, then the Han Dynasty might be able to create its own system, but it was far from as simple and convenient as the Han Dynasty system formulated by borrowing from the Qin Dynasty system.

Throughout the history of China, the establishment of the political system is inseparable from the Qin Dynasty.

Of course, all this is due to the promotion and improvement of Li Si's unique county system.

Therefore, throughout the history of the Qin Dynasty, although Shi Huang was remembered forever as the unifier of the empire, Li Si, as the chief designer, should not be forgotten by people.

Li Si has to be said to be the most important promoter of the political system change of the Qin Dynasty.

In the process of taking stock of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si will always be a mountain that cannot be bypassed.

Although he is obsessed with fame and titles, this is inseparable from the actual situation of his grassroots background.

But these efforts he made during his reign should indeed be praised and inherited.

Although the later dynasties knew that the First Emperor was the first emperor of China, they should know that Li Si was the chief architect of the empire.

It can also be said that if there is no Li Si, then there will be no unification of Qin Shihuang.

Now that the inventory is here, it almost completely affirms the importance and status of Li Si in the Great Qin Empire.

Of course, one cannot be perfect.

Li Si, who was watching the video inventory, couldn't help but get excited.

He didn't expect that this confidant who has traveled through the millennium turned out to be Mr. Wu Chen.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about Qin Shihuang, who had an unsightly complexion beside him, and bowed slightly to the sky mirror above: "Thank you Mr. Wu Chen for your affirmation, and thank you for the inventory of the sky mirror."

After finishing speaking, Li Si turned around and bowed slightly to Qin Shihuang: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qin Shihuang's face was flat, and he couldn't see any expression at this moment. After a long time, he sighed: "I didn't expect that there would be so many dynasties in my descendants. Is it true that there are no eternal dynasties in this world?"

"Your Majesty, although there is no long-lasting dynasty in this world, the Great Qin and some systems established by Your Majesty will surely be a model and a source of imitation for future generations."

"From this point of view, this eternal world is still your Majesty."

The light of the sky mirror flickers slightly

[End of stocktaking]

【Give Shi Huang a 300-year lifespan】

[Give the North Stability Card, which can ensure the peace of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for a hundred years]

【Give good weather and good weather】

【Give a good harvest】

Many plane dynasties were extremely surprised, especially the 300-year lifespan and the hundred-year peace. This is simply saying that the Qin Dynasty's rule still has at least 300 years of history.

In this 300-year history, as long as Qin Shihuang develops slowly, he will definitely be able to choose a powerful and even more suitable monarch for the development of Daqin than him.

Qin Shihuang's face was agitated, and he stood up suddenly from his seat: "Come here, bring my He Shibi here. I want to thank the Sky Mirror and Mr. Wu."
