In the West Chamber, Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng were both extremely rare accidents.

Ru Lianniang has lived in the Li Mansion in recent years, and she has lived a life of a daughter who has never left her home and has no choice but to go to the other side.

In her marriage, as her father's father and Li Chao as her brother, it was not a domineering interference, but a responsible person. If her father and Li Chao don't come forward, they will really become delayed old girls.

Li Chao chose her for her and used the values ​​of this era to choose, of course, that is, a match between the two. With such a choice, it will be easier for the couple to live in the future.

The Li family’s portal can’t choose a farmer or a servant butler for Lian Niang.

"Didn't I ask Lian Niang to come and see the person quietly several times when she arrived? What do she think of Shu Yu?"

Li Chao's ideas are very rebellious in this era. For example, although she helped Lian Niang get engaged with Wei Shuyu, she often provided some opportunities to allow Lian Niang to observe quietly behind the screen when Wei Shuyu came to visit her home.

If you let it go, such a behavior is very rude.

But Li Chao felt that it was very ordinary. The husband you chose for your sister must like him. If the husband and sister disliked him too much, then he would reconsider the marriage.

"Lian Niang thinks that the Dalang of the Wei family is good, gentle and elegant, graceful and polite." The father said with a smile.

Wei Shuyu was born in a gentry after all, his father was a high-ranking official, and his mother was born in a famous Hedong family, so children from such families would naturally not be too bad. Li Chao was also quite satisfied with Wei Shuyu.

"It's good that Lian'er likes it. If she doesn't like it, then I, the brother who chose her to marry, will be blamed." Li Chao said with a smile.

"You have a good opinion of people. The Wei family Dalang chosen for Lian'er and the Fang family Dalang chosen for Lan'er are all very good." The father has always treated two daughters who are not his own, just like treating Li Chao, the adopted son, very attentively. "I heard that Mr. Wei is very valued by His Majesty. There is news that he will serve as the Minister of the Shangshu in the New Year. This is an important position, and he will be appointed as the prime minister sooner or later."

Shangshu Cheng is the subordinate of Pushe, and the structure of the imperial court's central government has been slowly being adjusted. The core of the adjustment is the change in the powers of the three provinces.

Since the Sui Dynasty, the three ministers of the Secretariat of the Secretariat have been the center, and the Secretariat of the Secretariat as the head of the center. But now, the emperor intends to use the two ministers of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat, which are made and review, as the real decision-making center of the court, and lowers the original Secretariat of the Secretariat, so that the decision-making position will be before execution.

The original Zhengshi Hall, the decision-making center above the three provinces, was located in the capital hall of the Shangshu Province. Now after arriving in Xiangyang, Li Shimin changed the Zhengshi Hall to the Zhongshu Province.

Under the three-provincial system, the Secretariat was not responsible for ruling government affairs.

The rulings on government affairs were in the Shangshu Province and the Menxia Province. However, with the reign of Li Shimin, a large increase in the number of documents such as discussions, tables, letters, and letters, and the change in the status of the Zhongshu Province, and the decrease in the emperor's court discussions, the duties of the Zhongshu Temple in serving and proceeding gradually developed into the Senate and Tables, thus gradually gaining the power to ruling government affairs.

In today's court discussions, the two provinces of the Ministry of Justice deal with the division of documents from the lower level, the discussion, presentation, and letter of letter are given to the Central Secretariat. Officials of the Central Secretariat discussed whether it was possible and signed and reported to the emperor.

The power of the Central Secretariat was obtained from the emperor in the past two years, which was even not even in history. In history, the power of the Central Secretariat was gradually obtained until at least Wu Zetian.

The Zhongshu Sheren who obtained this power actually had extremely high authority, and the Zhongshu Sheren was also called the Chu Xiang.

Now that the Zhengshi Hall has moved from the Shangshu Province to the Zhongshu Province, the Zhongshu Province has become the center of government affairs operations, which has adapted to the situation of a large increase in the number of memorial documents such as statements and other memorial documents.

The Six Obsesses and Five Flowers Judgments of the people of the Zhongshu Sheshe were the new system developed under this situation.

In the past, the statements submitted by local officials had to be submitted by the Secretariat, but the authority of the Secretariat in the past was only a service. But now, with the increase of local affairs, more and more documents submitted by local officials were also increasing, so the Secretariat also developed towards the handling of specific government affairs and rulings.

The emperor made a memorial at the beginning of the year, and the envoys of various prefectures, the governors, the governors, and those with the fifth rank and above outside the capital were given congratulations, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to complete the matter and send them to the Secretariat for the record. Later, there was an order that those who reported military and national affairs must report the actual situation. Anyone who had to submit the petition was a statement and sent to the Secretariat for the Secretariat for the Secretariat.

Today, the Secretariat of the Secretariat is in charge of the rule.

Now that the Secretariat of Secretariat is gradually gaining government affairs rulings, the power of the Provincial Capital to decide government affairs is gradually losing. Although the Secretariat of Secretariat is still the same prime minister among the prime ministers, they have become more of the prime ministers in the Secretariat of Secretariat of Secretariat of Secretariat of Secretariat of Secretariat of Secretariat of Secretariat of Secretariat of Secretariat of the State Council, and are no longer the head of the Provincial Capital to decide government affairs in the past.

Even now, the chief of the two poems of the Secretariat began to serve as the Secretary of the Six Ministry. For example, Li Chao was changed to the position of Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi by Li Shimin, and was appointed as the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue. The original title of Pingzhangshi became the Pingzhangshi of Tongzhongshu Menxia, ​​with four words added, indicating that the center of the court has now been transferred from Shangshu Metropolitan Province to Zhongshu Province, and even Menxia Provincial Department has become the center of the decision-making of the court with Zhongshu.

Li Chao was originally the Secretary of the Procuratorate Zuo Pushe, but now he has become the Secretary of the Procuratorate, which is not reduced but promoted.

Sun Wuji, Secretary of the Ministry of War, and Dai Zhou, Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, all added the title of Pingzhangshi in the Secretariat of the Secretariat, and were able to attend the rumor of the Political Affairs Hall.

In fact, the government affairs that the Shangshu City Provincial Conference ruled were gradually transferred to the Zhengshi Hall. This was actually no longer the three-provincial system since the Sui Dynasty, but completely changed. In the past, the three-provincial system was handled by Shangshu left and right, and the local governments had to report the situation to the Shangshu Province.

Now, government affairs are decided from the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall, and the Political Affairs Hall is transferred to the Secretariat. Those who enter the State Affairs Hall are no longer just the chiefs of the three provincial governors, but have become the title of Pingzhang of the Secretariat, and have become the prime minister.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are now the heads of prime ministers in the court, not because of their position as the left and right servants, but because of their official title of Ping Zhangshi, the subordinate of the Secretariat. If they do not have this official title, even if they are the left and right servants, according to the new system, they cannot attend the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall, and naturally they will not be considered as prime minister.

In the court today, the Zhongshu Ling has been on par with the left and right Pushe, and even the Zhongshu Ling is clearly surpassing the left and right Pushe and becoming the new host of the Political Affairs Hall. Li Shimin is considering changing Fang Xuanling to the Zhongshu Ling, and Du Ruhui is the Shizhong, and the two provincial governors of the Left and Right Pushe are vacant.

The determination to replace the Secretariat as the new center of the imperial court was to strengthen the Secretariat.

Basically, this matter has been confirmed. On the New Year's Day tomorrow, the new appointments of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui will come.

At that time, the left and right Pushe will be vacant, and the Fashion Bookstore will actually be led by the two left and right Pushe deputys, Zuo Cheng and the Shangshu Youcheng, who have passed by, to actually preside over the government affairs of the Shangshu Province.

The Shangshu Zuocheng would become the actual chief official of the Shangshu Province, and its power increased greatly. Although the power of the Shangshu Province was weakened overall, the power of the Shangshu Zuocheng was increased.

Even if the Secretary and the Left and Left Minister cannot enter the Political Affairs Hall, it is only one step away from the Political Affairs Hall.

Wei Zheng, a third-rank secretary, was promoted to the fourth-rank secretary, Zuo Cheng, who looked like a demotion, but in terms of authority, it was incomparable.

It is not an exaggeration for my father to say that Wei Zheng was the prime minister, just like Ma Zhou, a member of the Secretariat, is now called the prime minister.

The Left and Left of the Shangshu and the six Zhongshu Sheikans in the Zhongshu Province are all people with extremely heavy central authority in the court. These are the prime ministers who are in charge of the same Zhongshu as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and these are the ones with heavy authority.

The major change between the transfer of Fang Du from the Shangshu Province to the Zhongmen Shuxia is also to be changed next year.

At that time, the Zhengshi Hall was officially renamed as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, which would mark the formal establishment of the system of the Central Secretariat as the central government of the imperial court.

The Secretariat of the Secretariat is generally similar to the political affairs halls in the past. That is, the physical permanent institutions that prime ministers ruled on government affairs, and had their own independent seals. The seals were called the "Secret of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat". The official documents that independently ruled on government affairs would be called hall posts or hall cases, and their subordinates were called the Five Houses and the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat.

This is a political system that is very different from the three-provincial system since the Sui Dynasty. It can be called the Zhongshu Sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-s

In the new dynasty, Li Shimin changed the three-provincial system with the Secretariat as the center, and developed the current system of group priests under the Secretariat, which actually greatly weakened the power of the prime ministers. In the past, under the three-provincial system, although the three-provincial chiefs were all prime ministers, the number of prime ministers was small, and the power of the left and right purshe was extremely powerful.

The Sui Dynasty had the greatest authority. Later, the Shangshu Ling was vacant for a long time, and the left and right Pushe still had great authority. Until now, Li Shimin simply saved the Shangshu and left and right Pushe also vacant. He was the prime minister of the Secretariat, the three provincial governors, the six ministers, the ministers, etc., as long as they were given this title, they could all be appointed as prime minister and joined the Secretariat to participate in major affairs of the court.

In this way, although the number of prime ministers has increased, the power in the prime minister's hands has actually been dispersed, and it is difficult to have powerful ministers like Gao Ying, Yang Su, and Pei Ji who have extremely powerful people in the past.

This change may be unclear to many officials of the Tang Dynasty, especially many local officials. However, for Li Chao, who is in the center, he had already clearly grasped Li Shimin's true intentions. He had already clearly seen that Li Shimin's adjustments could actually be said to be a restructured layout.

This is a major change in the center of the court, which has made the emperor more control over the government.

However, although the center will usher in a great change, Li Chao will still be the main pillar of the court whose status will not be shaken in this change.

Shangzhu Kingdom, the crown prince's grand tutor, the crown prince Zhan Shi, the three departments of Kaifu Yitong, the procuratorate of the Central Secretariat, the Duke of Zhao, the hereditary governor of Fengzhou, and the Minister of Revenue Li Chao. He also served as a series of positions such as Jingzhao Yin, the prefect of Xiangyang, the Xuanfu Envoy of Shannan East, the Grand Governor of Shandong, the construction envoy of Hanjing, the prefect of Hanjing, the prefect of Hanjing, the salt and iron envoy, etc.

In the new Zhenguan dynasty, Li Chao's status in the court did not decline but rose instead. He would only be ranked behind Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, becoming the third person in the court!
