Chapter 952 The cabinet that has already revealed its prototype
With a complicated mood, Zhao Xing finally stepped into the Luoyang Palace, which he had the honor of visiting once again. At this time, except for the guards of the Crouching Tiger Army, there were no other idle people in the entire palace.
The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace had already surrounded Emperor Liu Bian and moved to Xuchang. Although the army of Jin State had only entered Luoyang after several months, the palace was still kept clean enough. It seems that after the emperor moved to Xuchang, the Taiwei Mansion often arranged personnel to come and clean it.
When he went south, Zhao Xing was thinking about why Lu Zhi knew that he might never return to the north, but he still stubbornly insisted on bringing all the troops from Luoyang area to cross the Yellow River to attack Jiguan and Wohu City. When he saw a completely preserved Luoyang city, he finally understood what Lu Zhi was thinking. Lu Zhi must have heard of Zhao Xing's order to prevent the northwest Route Army from bombarding the western capital Chang'an. This great scholar of the times was unwilling to give up his persistence, and did not want Luoyang City and the people in the city to suffer, so he took away all the troops from Luoyang area and confessed to the world and Zhao Xing in the most heroic way.
With Lu Zhi's death in the north, Lu Zhi's youngest son in the Taifu Mansion had taken his family to Wangwu Mountain to guard the tomb for Lu Zhi, so now the Taifu Mansion has become an empty house with few families. Lu Zhi had three sons, Lu Yu was the youngest, and the other two sons followed Lu Zhi to fight south and north in his early years, and all died on the battlefield. Now Lu Yu is dedicated to guarding the tomb for his father and living in seclusion in Wangwu Mountain, but he also left a line for Lu Zhi. Zhao Xing respected Lu Zhi's morality and ethics, and allocated a lot of money to build a tomb for Lu Zhi. Under his care, the descendants of the Lu family would eventually prosper again.
Zhao Xing strides into the hall where the emperors and ministers in the court discuss matters, and looks around. There is not much heroic feeling in his heart. Instead, there is a faint sadness and sigh lingering in his heart.
Zhao Xing turned his head to Li Jinsi behind him and said, "Arrange people to remove all the steps in the court and redecorate the conference hall according to the style of the largest combat command room in the Pingxi Palace. From now on, when the monarch and ministers discuss matters, they will sit around in front of the strip conference table, and no longer place the emperor's seat in a high position."
Li Jinsi followed Zhao Xing for many years, and of course he could understand what Zhao Xing meant. The largest combat conference room in the Pingxi Palace adopts the layout of a circular strip table. When discussing matters, Zhao Xing sat at the top of the strip table. The left row was full of senior military generals, and the right row was senior internal officials. Special invitations who needed to attend the meeting temporarily sat around the periphery of the strip table. On the wall directly opposite Zhao Xing was sitting, a huge map of the territory of the Han Dynasty was hung. All civil and military officials attending the meeting could get up and come to the map to explain on the spot when explaining the situation.
Over the years, senior civil and military officials of the Jin State, including those who were fortunate to attend the meeting temporarily, have all fallen in love with this style of discussion from the bottom of their hearts. Everyone is even worried that after Zhao Xing ascended the throne, this happy and efficient way of discussion will be abolished. Now with Zhao Xing's words, Li Jinsi knows that Zhao Xing still does not like to do things that are fooled, and is still always considering "de-desored" the emperor and pursuing an equal and democratic way of discussion.
Accompanied by important generals such as Xu Huang, Li Jinwu, Li Jinsi and Zhao Zhenbang, Zhao Xing did not choose to live in the palace after inspecting Nangong and Beigong. Instead, everyone unexpectedly moved into the courtyard he bought when he came to Luoyang to sell wine.
Eighteen years ago, Zhao Xing was just a small county magistrate (a level smaller than the county magistrate) in Shangdang County. When he came to the imperial capital Luoyang, it was a very luxurious thing to have a courtyard. However, with Zhao Xing's identity as the king of the world, he moved into this dilapidated small courtyard with several very important generals around him, which was too shabby and simple.
Liu Jili, who went south with Zhao Xing, said with some emotion: "When the Yellow Turbans caused Luoyang to be in trouble, I abandoned this courtyard and went north to Wohu City. I didn't expect that many years later, I could still live in with Guochang again. It was a good story in life!"
Zhao Xinghun said indifferently: "The palace in Luoyang is too big, and I feel really uneasy when I live in it. Living in this courtyard will help me keep a clear mind and clarify my future ideas, and can also guide everyone to quit the narrow thinking of success and defeat. After all, Beigong and Nangong will be transformed in the future, Beigong will be the history museum of the Han Dynasty, and Nangong will be the office of the Government Affairs Council of the Han Dynasty."
As the news that King Pingxi entered the imperial capital Luoyang spread throughout the Sili area and even the northern states, the originally panicked and depressed Sili area quickly welcomed millions of people to join. Those people from all over the country who had been striving to become a citizen of Chouhu City and could not get the opportunity to adjust their thinking and direction as soon as possible, and settled in Luoyang as an alternative.
Everyone's little abacus was rumbling. As long as Zhao Xing lived in Luoyang, Luoyang will surely usher in a wave of rebuilding in the future. At that time, Luoyang's status is probably higher than that of Wohu City. If he can move into the imperial capital Luoyang as soon as possible, it will be equivalent to boarding the King of Pingxi in the future. Whatever he does is not smooth sailing!
In fact, this is an important reason why Zhao Xing went to Luoyang in person. Zhao Xing was in charge of Luoyang, first of all, so that he could command all armies to complete the most encirclement and suppression of Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Secondly, he wanted to prove to the people of the world that Luoyang, which would be better without Emperor Liu Bian and court ministers, would live in Luoyang. Finally, he wanted to guide his internal affairs officials to build Luoyang into the future economic and financial center of the Han Empire.
In Zhao Xing's vision, the cultural and technological center of the Han Empire will be retained in Wohu City in the future, because there are Taihang Academy, many research institutes, as well as new factories and workshops that are deeply influenced by Zhao Xing's thoughts; the military and political center of the Han Empire will be located in Chang'an, because Chang'an's special location can well control the Western Regions and the northern desert, which can be said to be the center of China's fortune and must be firmly occupied; the economic and financial center of the Han Empire is located in Luoyang because of Luoyang's convenient land and water transportation and a complete and spacious urban foundation.
From the perspective of long-term construction and development, if politics, military, culture, economy and finance are placed in a super metropolis, it will cause the city to become increasingly congested and will also cause serious regional imbalances.
There is Wohu City north of the Yellow River, Luoyang south of the Yellow River, and Chang'an on the Guanzhong Plain. Connecting these three cities together in straight lines on the map is a wide triangle area that can effectively radiate far and far to all directions, which will be very beneficial for strengthening the central government's control over the empire.
Shortly after Zhao Xing arrived in Luoyang, internal affairs officials from all over the country received Zhao Xing's idea of reforming the political system. Although Zhao Xing explained it in a discussion tone in his letter, everyone could feel that Zhao Xing was ready to carry out drastic reforms.
Liu Yu, who was in the Western Regions, felt very complicated after receiving a letter from Zhao Xing. In the letter, Zhao Xing clearly stated that the new Han Empire would appoint Liu Yu as the first president of the Government Council, and would lead the daily work of twelve major departments, including agriculture, industry, commerce, culture and education, sanitation, water conservancy, finance, etc. Now he mainly seeks candidates for the heads of these twelve departments from Liu Yu.
Being able to serve as the first president of the Government Council is not only a very noble honor, but also the actual power is probably not less than that of the emperor. Zhao Xing said very clearly that in the future, the emperor will only set major policies for the development of the country, and the specific planning and implementation will be completed by the Government Council leading the twelve major departments. The emperor will not interfere in specific affairs.
As a descendant of the Liu family in the old Han Dynasty, Liu Yu was able to serve as the position of President of the Government in the new empire founded by Zhao Xing. He was naturally excited and moved, and even had some other things that were unclear. However, Liu Yu did not immerse himself in this complex mood for too long. He hoped from the bottom of his heart that this new political system could bring a new atmosphere to the Han Dynasty, so he accepted Zhao Xing's appointment without hesitation and listed a long list, and captured all the officials he thought were suitable for holding positions in the Government Council in the future.
Jia Xu, who was in Chang'an, also received a letter from Zhao Xing. The content he saw was similar to Liu Yu's, and there were some specific differences. Zhao Xing also explained and explained his ideas and determination to reform the top level of the Han Dynasty in detail, and invited Jia Xu to serve as the first president of the Legislative and Constitutional Amendment of the Han Dynasty.
Among all Zhao Xing's counselors, Jia Xu is the oldest. If you just use superb wisdom to describe Jia Xu, it is not comprehensive and profound enough. In Zhao Xing's view, Jia Xu has the most thorough understanding of people's hearts. He will take a group of equally intelligent and extremely intelligent people to be responsible for formulating and modifying the laws that maintain the long-term prosperity of the Han Empire. Many loopholes can be blocked in advance and make those guys who are determined to take advantage of loopholes in the law. Zhao Xing is preparing to let Guo Jia and Pang Tong be the deputy of Jia Xu. As long as these three great people join together to "plan" the people of the world, they will definitely formulate a code that will shine for thousands of years!
Tian Feng, who occupied Yecheng, also received a letter from Zhao Xing. Because of his upright character and integrity and integrity, he has always been respected and appreciated by Zhao Xing, and his status is similar to Jia Xu among Zhao Xing's many advisers. This time, Zhao Xing threw a position that might offend many people to Tian Feng without hesitation. Zhao Xing was preparing to let Tian Feng replace him as the president of the Dahan Supervision Office.
Before the State Council and the Legislative Constitutional Amendment were established, in order to prevent corruption among officials from all over the country, Zhao Xing personally took charge of the Supervisory Office and dealt with several borers, which played a very beneficial role in rectifying the administration and eliminating the official style. In the future, Zhao Xing decided to hand over this burden to Tian Feng, and at the same time prepared to let Chen Gong and Xu Shu take on the role of deputy officers for Tian Feng. With these three equally wise and extremely intelligent people, Zhao Xing was still very relieved.
From Zhao Xing's series of ideas, it is not difficult to see that except for the appointment of officials and the army being still captured by the emperor, at least half of the monarchy was handed over by Zhao Xing voluntarily, which is not far from the dual monarchy constitutionalism he envisioned.
