Three Kingdoms: Summon the Heroic Soul Yue Fei at the beginning

Chapter 339 Ambition and Official System

Chapter 340 Ambition and Official System

Once in a small county town in Yingchuan, Ye Xiao, as a down-and-out family, experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He still remembers that year, he and his sister Ye Zitian hugged each other tightly in the mansion, afraid of The Yellow Turban Army broke through the city, then rushed into their homes and massacred them wantonly.

In that year again, under the leadership of Yue Fei, the subordinates organized by Ye Xiao rebelled against the Yellow Turban Army. After defeating a wave of Yellow Turban Army attacks, Ye Xiao only wanted to protect himself at that time, but faced with the provocation of the family, the Yellow Turban Army invaded again. , Ye Xiao was forced to pick up his weapon again.

In this way, he entered Yingchuan from a small county town. After arriving here, he was treated by Wang Yun. It can be said that his official career was magnanimous. Then he led the governor of Yuzhou until Dong Zhuo entered Beijing. Yuan Shao invited the eighteen princes to crusade During Dong Zhuo's time, Ye Xiao didn't do anything, he was just clearing out the local Yellow Turban army and aristocratic families in Yuzhou.

At that time Ye Xiao understood that even if he followed Yuan Shao to fight Dong Zhuo with all his strength, there was no way to change anything, the eighteen princes would still collapse, after all, the hearts of the people were not in harmony.

As his power grew, he became bigger and bigger, and slowly, more and more people protected him. He began to look at many things with a kind of compassion. He didn't want the people under his jurisdiction to suffer. any pain.

So much so that when Emperor Xian entered the city, he didn't make things difficult for Emperor Xian, and even when Emperor Xian was killed, he still recommended Emperor Xian's son to ascend the throne. Doesn't he have the world in his heart?Yes, it's just that what he has to do is to repeat the day over and over again, instead of simply ascending to the throne and possessing the beauty of the world.

"Ye has only one wish in his life, and that is the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people."

Ye Xiao looked at Man Chong in front of him and slowly said four words. These four words were extremely simple, but they kept echoing in Man Chong's ears like a drum at dusk and a bell in the morning.

"National Peace and Peace."

Man Chong muttered these words slowly, he lost his mind as he spoke, he did not expect Ye Xiao to have such lofty wishes, you must know that in this era there are too many princes like Ye Xiao, there are countless The princes were thrown into the long river of history by time and turned into bubbles.

And those who survived all wanted to ascend to the throne of God, holding the jade seal that said "be ordered by heaven, and live forever", and then stand on the emperor's throne overlooking the world. In their eyes, there are no people, no country.

What are the common people in the eyes of these people?The people are scholar-bureaucrats, and the people are sons of good families, not the heads of Guizhou, who are not able to fight back after being hit by a disaster. Only Ye Xiao did it. He saved countless people in Qingzhou and Xuzhou during this drought. Most of these common people are the heads of Guizhou in the mouth of scholar-bureaucrats.

Just when Man Chong was wandering in the sky, Ye Xiao didn't stop, but spoke again slowly.

"Guotai Minan" is easy to say, but difficult to do. Ye can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee one thing. As long as Ye is alive, I will lead the people in the world to get rid of the status quo and stop them from suffering. As Mr. Man Chong said, killing decisively, insidiously, and ruthlessly is indeed the fastest way to rise up, and also the fastest way to dominate the world, but I don't want to see that, what I hope is to go to the world through reform, and It’s not about taking over the world and then reforming.”

Ye Xiao's words actually revealed helplessness. When he communicated with Man Chong for the second time, he also had a question in his mind, that is, if he really convinced him to rule the world like Man Chong did, then he now How to carry out various reforms?
In this era, its productivity has huge limitations, and there is no way to surpass the times and come to engage in some super-productivity things.This point has been confirmed by the great traveler predecessor Wang Mang.

Ye Xiao didn't want to be the second in the capital, that's why he had to go through at least a year of governance after he won a piece of land, and then he would push away the new system. Even this time, he was thinking twice about the reform of the land system. It was decided later.

Ye Xiao's words kept echoing in Man Chong's ears, and even Man Chong didn't know how he left Ye Xiao's mansion.

Time flies by, and the end of the year arrives in a blink of an eye, and at the end of the year, Diao Chan gave birth to a daughter, Ye Xiao, and named her daughter Ye Yingzhu.

Since then, Ye Ying had a younger sister, and Ye Ying was very happy because he could often see this younger sister, and Ye Xiao took advantage of this short period of tranquility to spend a relatively happy Spring Festival with his family.

At this time, after a year of recuperation, those affected areas have recovered as quickly as possible. Ye Xiao believes that as long as the Spring Festival is over and the spring is plowed, everything will be fine.

"Food, what is most lacking in food right now is food."

In the room, Ye Xiao gathered Man Chong and others together, and began to discuss the plan for the second year. Naturally, before that, Ye Xiao also introduced Man Chong to everyone. After Liu Bowen and others heard Man Chong's remarks, they all agreed He had a look of admiration.

"Everyone, the land issue is almost over now, and the official system will be discussed next."

Today, the official system of the Han Dynasty still uses the system of Sangong Jiuqing. This system has continued from the Xia Dynasty to the present, and this system also has its characteristics, that is, to a certain extent, it helped the emperor share the affairs and improved the efficiency of the court.

But its disadvantages are also very big, that is, the prime minister has too much power, which often leads to power struggles between the prime minister and the emperor.

After all, on the surface of the Sangong, the Taiwei controls the military and the imperial censor is in charge of the officials. The prime minister helps the emperor handle government affairs, and the position of the Taiwei is basically a fiction. No emperor is stupid enough to hand over military power, let alone the imperial censor. It plays the role of supervising the officials, and it does not have much restraint on the emperor.

This led to the great power of the prime minister, which is why in history, after Cao Cao hijacked Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he asked to be prime minister, and Ye Xiao naturally understood the disadvantages of the three lords and nine ministers.

"Everyone, I also have two sets of methods here for you to discuss."

"First, we divide the three princes and nine officials into three provinces, all three provinces are ruled by the prime minister, and under the three provinces are divided into six departments, namely the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Punishment. These six departments are responsible for different things. , so that the division of labor is clearly defined and the responsibilities are in place.”

"Secondly, we set up a cabinet system, and then the emperor directly leads the six ministries."

"Let's discuss it, everyone."

Ye Xiao threw out this topic and sat down on a chair again to drink tea. Whether it is the three provinces and six ministries, or the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty, they are all weakening the Sangong and Jiuqing, and strengthening the centralization of power. As for why Ye Xiao didn't use elections The reason is that people nowadays don't know what the meaning of elections is. Blind elections may be manipulated by people with ulterior motives.

"My lord, I think that the three provinces should be implemented."
