Under the candlelight, Yu Wenwen looked at the information. Because the biogas system of Chang'an Prince's Mansion has not yet been operated normally, the study room is lit at night, and the light is still OK.

The three provinces and six ministries system that are still under discussion is also acceptable.

Yuwen Wen is already the ruling prime minister. He is only one step away from that position, and it is within reach, but he is not in a hurry because he does not need to stabilize his position with the righteousness of the monarch and his subjects, and can prepare calmly.

Therefore, over the past period of time, he has been making serious preparations and has to spend more than half a year laying the foundation. After his ruling team is "optimized", all kinds of "concessions" will be happy to the people (officials). That thing will naturally come naturally.

This is obvious, there is nothing to be shy about. The emperor is young and has a ignorant position. His mind will not be affected too much, and he doesn't have to act so hard.

At that time, all the ministers would persuade him to enter, and all kinds of disgusting advice were piled up like a mountain. All the civil and military officials in the court were hoping that he would "make a living for the people of the world" and be called emperor. That would be what everyone would like to hope for.

But for the sake of this hope, Yuwen Wen had to work hard.

This is the result of being called emperor by Zen, not a gang fight for the gang. It is useless to rely on fists alone, and it is necessary to use both soft and hard.

A country must rely on bureaucratic groups to maintain its operations. Not to mention bribing all civil and military officials and the various interest groups behind it, they must bribe at least half of them.

There are many ways to buy, and the transfer of political power is one of them. For example, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, King Cao Pi of Wei asked aristocratic families to control the system (the nine-rank Zhongzheng system), and in exchange for senior officials from aristocratic families to support him and be called Emperor Wei by Han Chan.

It is also one of the reasons for acquiescent corruption. For example, in the late Yuan Wei Dynasty, Gao Huan, the Prime Minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, was like this. He allowed the martial artists to embezzle him at will, in exchange for everyone's absolute support for him.

The promise of officials was also one of them. In the late Yuan Wei Dynasty, Yuwen Tai, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, established the 12 generals of the Eight Pillar Kingdom and implemented the system of military troops, allowing his "equal barbarians" to occupy high positions and let the powerful people of Guanlong enter the system.

Yuwen Wen chose to release some of his economic interests and appropriately appointed officials to make a wish to buy them. In this way, he lost only some economic interests, increased some salary expenses, and had a smaller negative impact.

Therefore, Yuwen Wen is constantly engaged in "discount promotions" to sell products called "Where we hope for".

After following the routine, the palace will change its owner, and then he will reach the peak of his life.

Thinking of this, Yuwen Wen couldn't help but feel a little excited and his thoughts became scattered.

According to the fashionable routine, at that time, he would change his reign to the "Republic", using the tic-shaped flag (nine squares representing the nine states in the world) as the national flag, and also has the national emblem and the national anthem.

The House of Representatives (Previous and Lower Houses), and the members of the parliament were elected, and then convened members of the parliament, as well as representatives of the powerful, military honors, gentry, and cold clans to hold a general meeting, formulate the Magna Carta, and implement the constitutional monarchy of the virtual king.

Government institutions must follow the popular principle of "separation of powers" and must strictly guard against imperial power, so that any thatched house of a pariah "can enter in the wind and rain, but the emperor cannot enter in the only one", and lock the imperial power firmly in an iron cage.

Political parties are allowed to form, and each party first runs within the party, selects candidates to participate in the "national election", thereby electing the prime minister, with a term of seven years, and then the winning party is formed.

The imperial power has been locked in a cage, and there must be someone to restrain the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, that is, the parliament.

Any senator (a member of parliament) can propose a bill to impeach the prime minister. As long as the parliament passes the impeachment bill, the prime minister must resign. The cabinet becomes a guardian cabinet, re-election, elect a new prime minister, and re-form the cabinet.

In this way, all political struggles will become parliamentary struggles, and all forces will engage in round table games according to parliamentary procedures. There will be no more civil wars, and there will be no more ambitious people who want to overthrow the emperor.

If someone wants to take power and reach the peak of his life, he can succeed in running for the Prime Minister.

At this point, the country will be forever solid and the throne will last for generations. He who is generous and powerful will surely become a great hero admired by all people in the world.

That's weird.

If he really wants to do this, within ten years, he will be killed by a newly promoted strong man. All the men in the family will die. That person will take away his country and establish a new dynasty.

The so-called constitutional monarchy based on strong imperial power is the gravedigger of imperial power. He keeps digging his own foundation and waits for the imperial power to become weak, and this constitutional monarchy will no longer rely on and collapse.

If he really dares to give up the power, there will naturally be someone to take over. By the way, even his wives and concubines will take over.

Therefore, in this era, what kind of constitutional monarchy is a foolish thing that only political idiots can do.

After putting away his thoughts, Yu Wenwen looked at the information again. The official system reform plan that has been revised has been made and the determined three provinces and six ministries system is the most suitable political system for this era.

The three provinces refer to the Secretariat, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province.

The Secretariat has six ministries, namely the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works. There are twenty-four departments under the six ministries.

Why is it the Ministry of Civil Affairs rather than the Ministry of Revenue? The reason is very simple. "Historically" it was originally the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but later, in order to avoid the taboos of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was changed to the Ministry of Revenue.

The division of labor among the three provinces is roughly as follows:

The Secretariat issued an order, and the Menxia Provincial Government reviewed the order and formally approved it, while the Secretariat (Six Ministry) was responsible for implementing this order.

What if the three provinces have a dispute over an order?

The decentralization of power among the three provinces will inevitably lead to mutual aggression and inefficiency. To solve this problem, we must coordinate actions between the three provinces, and the three high officials will discuss matters regularly under the jurisdiction of the school.

Make a decision at the meeting, and then the three provinces act according to the decision.

This place where the matter is discussed is called "Political Affairs Hall".

Therefore, after the reform, the highest administrative body of the court was the Zhengshi Hall, and officials who were qualified to enter the Zhengshi Hall to participate in the Political Meeting were the prime ministers who were truly unknown.

Who are these officials?

The chief minister of the Secretariat of the Secretariat, two, the deputy chief minister of the Secretariat, several people; the chief minister of the Secretariat, two, the deputy chief minister of the Secretariat, several people; the chief minister of the Secretariat, one person of the Secretariat, one person of the deputy chief of the Secretariat, one person of the left and right servants, one person of each.

There are more than ten of these officials in total, and they are officials of the prime minister level, that is, the "priest" who comes from the generals and comes into the court.

In other words, since the Qin and Han dynasties, the prime minister who had been "love and killing" with the imperial power would be divided into three and turned into three provinces, and the "person" of the prime minister/prime minister was divided into more than a dozen people (the head and deputy chief of the three provinces).

After the implementation of the three provinces and six ministries system, there will be no more single power ministers and ministers above ten thousand people. The threat of prime ministers to imperial power will become smaller.

As for imperial power, we have to face the new opponent of "procedural justice".

What is procedural justice?

That is, the emperor's edict must be drafted by the Secretariat first, and submitted to the emperor for reading. After the emperor approved it, it will be formally finalized and approved by the Ministry of Menxia before it can be issued. At this time, the emperor's edict will be "legal" and the Secretariat will implement it.

If Menxia Province believes that the edict drafted by the Secretariat has problems, it has the right to refuse to use seals (stamps) and seal the edict and reject it, it is a "seal".

If the emperor does not give up and insists that the Secretariat take the edict that there is no seal of the branch and let the Secretariat implement it, the Secretariat can think that this is a "disaster life" and that the treacherous minister hides the emperor, bypasses the loyal ministers and "forges the edict" and has the right to refuse to implement it.

This is procedural justice.

Although it is impossible to completely prevent the imperial power from happening in chaos, there is always a more reasonable system to restrict the imperial power, which is the most suitable means of checks and balances in the current era.

Speaking of checks and balances, since there are three provinces to check and balance the imperial power, who will check and balance the three provinces (administrative agencies)?

It's the Censorate.

The three provinces are in charge of administrative power, the Censorate is in charge of supervision and supervising officials. In addition, there are also Dali Temple, which is in charge of judicial power, as well as Honglu Temple, Guanglu Temple and other official offices.

The three provinces and six ministries system was not a system invented by Yu Wen Wen himself, but an inevitable result of the development of the Central Plains political system over the past few hundred years. The final draft he had in hand was actually very close to the three provinces and six ministries system in the early Tang Dynasty in his original history.

These are the result of the officials' agreement (quarrel). Yu Wenwen spent most of his time listening and making a confident look, but he did not act as a bystander, but added some content.
