Great Sui God of War, great strength at the beginning!

Chapter 233 Six Department System and Cabinet System

The fun with the people in the capital city of Luoyang lasted until the middle of the night before it really ended. On the second day, Luoyang City returned to its former appearance, but it was a little more lively than before.

"Qizou Emperor, the Turkic army in the north has been harassing our Dawu border for several months. The front line urgently reported that the Turkic army's attack on the city has become more and more frequent. In addition, General Luo Cheng, the Duke of Yan, was seriously injured, so he was arrested. Yang County may not be able to resist for long!"

Changsun Wuji stood up first and said to Wang Chen.

Wang Chen nodded, and luckily Sun Simiao was there, otherwise Luo Cheng might have died of poisoning.

But even if Sun Simiao's medical skills are the best in the world, Luo Cheng's injury will not heal within ten days and half a month. After all, it will take a hundred days for his muscles and bones to be injured, so Yuyang County now relies entirely on Luo Song to guard the city gate.

"Then tell me, what should we do next?"

Wang Chen's expression didn't change at all, and he asked casually.

"Of course it's a fight. Brother Luo was attacked by their Turks in the back. It's really hateful. Your Majesty, Cheng Yaojin asked to bring [-] elite soldiers north to Yuyang County!"

In today's imperial court, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhang Wen, and Cheng Yaojin are only seven or eight generals who are good at fighting.

Xue Rengui, Yu Chigong, and Mu Guiying went to fight against Tubo, while He Meng was in Liucheng County, Xin Wenli went to Zhenbei City, as for Pei Yuanqing, he led his troops to restrain Liu Heitai, and Zhang Wen's wife Liu Ruyan also just gave birth to a child Soon, it is not advisable to leave the station.

After thinking for a while, Wei Zhengxiang took two big steps to the right and walked out, saying:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that to fight against the outside world, the inside must be settled first!"

"Although the Turks are powerful, there are [-] Beixiong soldiers in Zhenbei City, and [-] troops in Yuyang County, and General Luo Song is also a general on the battlefield with [-] enemies. Don't worry too much!"

"Your Majesty, on the contrary, Li Tang inside and Liu Heita under Dou Jiande's command are really stuck around our necks. I think that our main purpose now is to take down Li Tang and Liu Heita first. Go north to conquer the Turks!"

Wei Zheng's words were deeply approved by Wang Chen. Although Wang Chen wanted to deal with the barbarians of the foreign race first, but he must first settle down when he is out of the way. This sentence is indeed more reasonable.

Moreover, for Wang Chen, the Turkic threat to Wang Chen is far inferior to that of Li Shimin!
"Weichen also agrees with Wei Yushi's statement that we must first settle down in the outside world. If we Luoyang send a large army to the north, then Luoyang will be empty, and Chang'an is close to our Luoyang, so it is easy to be attacked by them. In this case, we will really be attacked. Attacked from both sides!"

Xu Maogong immediately stood up and agreed.

When Cheng Yaojin heard that his two elder brothers stood up against him, he curled his lips and stood back. Although Cheng Yaojin looked silly, it didn't mean he didn't understand anything.

"Well, I agree with what the two lovers said, Li Tang, I will definitely take them down first, and then go north to chase the grasslands!"

"My Emperor Shengming!"

Wei Zheng and Xu Maogong clasped their fists and flattered each other again.

"According to my decree, mobilize 20 troops from Luoyang City, and then mobilize 50 troops from the surrounding counties and cities, a total of [-] troops, which is said to be [-] troops. After one month, the army will be directed at Chang'an City. This time, I want to drive Personal conquest!"

Wang Chen stood up, flicked his wide sleeves, and ordered Xu Maogong to be the army adviser, Zhang Wen to be the vanguard, and Yu Wencheng to be the accompanying general.

After the edict was issued, Wang Chen left the palace.

Why did it take a month to attack Chang'an?

That's because, according to Li Shizhen's diagnosis, the child in Li Xiuning's womb was born in less than a month.

In the Taiji Hall of the imperial palace, Cao Yu, Xu Maogong, Wei Zheng, Yang Gongren, Zhang Jiuling, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and three or four more prestigious courtiers from the dynasties all arrived.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what orders you have given us?"

Xu Maogong asked.

"Come on, give your lords a seat!"

Wang Chen leaned on the dragon chair and said to the eunuch beside him.

"Yes!"

The eunuch immediately went to summon a few young eunuchs to move stools for Xu Maogong and others.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After everyone clasped their fists at Wang Chen, they sat on the stools.

"The reason for calling everyone here this time is because I feel that some systems left by the Sui Dynasty are not perfect enough, so I want to improve some systems, not only that, but also set up some department management!"

Wang Chen said lightly that the six-part system must be advanced, and he no longer wants to be busy reviewing papers every day, and not only the three-province six-part system, but more importantly, the cabinet system.

The cabinet ministers do not have any real power. Their main task is to handle the memorials for Wang Chen, but the most important thing is to do the red dressing by Wang Chen himself, and the real power will still be firmly held by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, if I have guessed correctly, Your Majesty should have his own ideas, right?!"

As expected of Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng immediately said with a smile.

Wang Chen nodded with a smile, and then took out the manuscript he wrote first and handed it to everyone present.

The manuscript is about the planning of the six-part system and the planning of the cabinet system.

"Your Majesty is truly a god-man. I didn't expect His Majesty to be so good at these government affairs!"

After reading it, Wei Zheng immediately exclaimed.

Everyone was speechless, are you bragging about the emperor?
What a Wei Zheng, he handles internal affairs very well with his emotions, he has no sense of the world, right?This mouth is simply extremely sharp.

Wang Chen didn't say much either, Li Shimin must have seen Wei Zheng's mouth well in history.

"It's really extraordinary. This six-part system can greatly improve the efficiency of officials, and this cabinet system can also make the emperor a lot easier."

Yang Gongren and Zhang Jiuling also praised it.

Indeed, I thought that my own emperor was a super warrior who was good at fighting, but I really didn't expect that he would be so accomplished in government affairs!

The system of three provinces and six ministries, just take six ministries and replace the three provinces with the cabinet. In this case, the centralization of power will be more stable!
This is Wang Chen's thinking. After all, he is just a mortal, and he will die sooner or later, so he has to plan everything for his son in advance.

"Well, Weichen thinks it's really feasible!"

"Report to Your Majesty, I have no objection!"

All the ministers said one after another.

"Okay, since this is the case, I will follow this system!"

Wang Chen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, what about the candidates for the six ministers and the cabinet ministers?"

Yang Gongren said cautiously, regardless of Yang Gongren's anxious feeling, his Shangshu Zuo Pushe is the highest position in the civil servants of the Great Wu Empire, but this suddenly changed the system, so can he still be a member of the six ministers? Can I be a member of the Cabinet of Ministers?
"Hahaha, you don't have to worry, Mr. Yang. Your reputation is well-known in Dawu. Scholars all over the world call you a teacher. I plan to do this for you, Minister of the Ministry of Officials!"

Wang Chen directly gave the Ministry of Officials, the head of the six departments, to Yang Gongren.

Although Yang Gongren was a relative of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Chen was still not afraid. According to the system's detection, this Yang Gongren's loyalty to him was as high as 95%!

Furthermore, Yang Gongren is fully qualified to take up the post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, no matter in terms of seniority, ability and reputation in the world.

Taking a step back, even though the Great Sui was unpopular, there were still many scholars who had feelings for the Great Sui, but I used Yang Gongren from the Sui Dynasty again, which also showed my eclectic talent!

"My humble minister Yang Gongren thanks His Majesty for your grace! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After hearing Wang Chen's assurance, Yang Gongren immediately beamed with joy, and immediately knelt down to Wang Chen to thank him, even raising his loyalty a little bit.

The rest of the ministers didn't think it was wrong at all, because Yang Gongren's qualifications and prestige were indeed there.

Among the ministers present, only Shangshu Youpu shot Zhang Jiuling and General Cao Yu who could wrestle with Yang Gongren.

After all, Cao Zi and Zhang Jiuling followed Wang Chen a long time ago, and now, the prestige among the world is quite high, and their abilities are obvious to all.

Sure enough, Wang Chen immediately decided to make Zhang Jiuling the chief assistant of his cabinet, and Cao Yu the second assistant.

Wang Chen also has his own reasons. The separation of the two official positions of the chief assistant of the cabinet and the official minister is also a kind of mutual check and balance.

Yang Gongren has already served as the head of the six departments, so naturally he will not covet the position of the first assistant anymore.

Zhang Jiuling and Cao Yu also knelt down to Wang Chen to express their gratitude.

"Cabinet ministers, I think only nine are needed!"

A total of more than a dozen ministers present felt tense, meaning how many of them might lose the election?
Of course, compared to the cabinet, the six ministers must be more powerful, except for the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"The position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, I believe you people, I'm afraid it's meaningless. I'm going to hand over this position to Mo Fei from the Mohist family. As for that boy Yang Gao, let him be the commander of Tiemu Siming. At the same time, go to the Ministry of Industry for a walk!"

Wang Chen directly decided on the candidate for the Ministry of Industry. After all, none of the ministers present was willing to go to the Ministry of Industry, an unloved department.

The six ministries have gone to the second, and there are still the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Rites. Among them, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War are obviously very good, especially the Ministry of War in troubled times, which is also quite powerful.

"Do you want to recommend yourself for the next official position?!"

Wang Chen smiled and looked at the group of people in front of him, enjoying himself.

Yang Gongren and Zhang Jiuling, who had already obtained their official positions, moved their stools and ran to the edge. Anyway, they have nothing to do with them now.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, you also know that the old Taoist is used to being lazy. The old Taoist thinks that I, a military officer, and the Guozijian sacrifice wine are pretty good, so I don't need anything else!"

Xu Maogong was the first to speak. Everyone thought Xu Maogong was going to recommend himself, but in the end he wanted to do nothing!

Indeed, the essence of Taoism is to do it from the heart. Xu Maogong assisted others to fight for hegemony in the troubled times, not for the merits of being a dragon, nor for the glory and wealth, but actually for the sake of displaying his ambition and knowledge.

Wang Chen nodded slightly, and also understood Xu Maogong's meaning, "There is no problem with what you said, but I can't be lazy anymore, and you want to continue to be lazy? Aren't you sincerely making me uncomfortable?"

"Well, you can go to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War. Hey, if you dare to refuse, I will let you set up a fortune-telling stall on the street!"

Seeing that Xu Maogong wanted to refuse, Wang Chen directly stretched out his hand, raised his index finger and pointed at Xu Maogong, making Xu Maogong want to cry without tears.

And the other people present are also wanting to cry but have no tears. If you don't want to give you an official position, if you don't want it, you can give it to us!

Afterwards, at the suggestion of everyone, the Minister of the Household Department gave it to Xiao Yu. This younger brother of Empress Xiao, Wang Chen also has no problem, and Wang Chen is more at ease about Xiao Yu's ability to handle affairs.

As for the minister of the Ministry of punishment, Wei Zheng will take office.

The Ministry of Punishment needs tough bones and fear of power. Coincidentally, Wei Zheng is really such a person, who is not afraid of anyone, who catches and bites, Wang Chen needs this kind of talent!
The Minister of Rites gave it to a well-known senior minister in his fifties in the Sui Dynasty.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui are not too old at this time, at least they are still considered young in the officialdom, so Wang Chen only let them serve as ministers and other positions, and the cabinet also let them be backup personnel, but enjoy the rights of the cabinet.

Although they are only backup personnel, the rest of the ministers dare not underestimate them at all, because the backup means that they will definitely take their positions in the future. If they are old, the younger generations will have to rely on Changsun Wuji and others to take care of them. !
In this way, after more than a dozen people's discussions, the officials were appointed.

Originally, the Great Court Meeting is nothing more than a process, that is, a form, a form of imperial power used for symbolic meaning, and the real major event is handled by the emperor summoning his confidantes to discuss in the side hall, just like it is now.

After the discussion, everyone walked out of the Tai Chi Hall.

Changsun Wuji felt refreshed at the moment. Although he was just a servant of the Ministry of Officials, Yang Gongren was not young anymore, and he would be the top of the Six Departments in a short time!
This is something I never dared to imagine.

"Changsun servant, today the old man is preparing a little wine at the house, and I hope that the eldest grandson will respect me!"

Yang Gongren naturally knew how much Wang Chen valued Changsun Wuji, so he looked at his subordinate with a smile.

"Old Yang invited me, how could Wuji refuse, Wuji will definitely go to the appointment!"

Changsun Wuji looked at Yang Gongren's kind words, and immediately responded respectfully.

"Hahaha, the old man is waiting for the eldest grandson servant in the mansion!"

Yang Gongren nodded and walked out of the palace.

Wang Chen also heard these words in the Tai Chi Hall, and sighed slightly.

I killed hundreds of families, but after decades or hundreds of years, there will be hundreds of families in the Great Wu Empire.

This is inevitable, this is something that cannot be eliminated. Although it seems that there is no family, but the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui, and even the descendants of Xue Rengui, Cheng Yaojin Luocheng and others are all possible Become a great family in the future!

"call!"

Wang Chen let out a sigh of relief, then shook his head, what he can do is to try to advance the development time as far as possible, so that that kind of fairer system will come sooner!
