Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy Six: Nine-Rank Court Ritual System
In just three days, everything about Da Yan began to re-enter the track, or in other words, not only Da Yan, but the whole world became active again.
At the first court meeting of the New Year, civil and military officials gathered, led by Yuan clan members, Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and Yuan Mai participated one by one, and Yuan Ping had already turned to Anqiu.
On the high throne, Yuan Xi took a memorial and said with satisfaction: "Brother, I have already read the plan for establishing a sect mansion, which is very perfect, especially the way it proposes to be jointly assisted by Zuo Zongzheng, You Zongzheng, Zuo Zongren, You Zongren, You Zongren, and You Zongren, are even more outstanding. The sect mansion is responsible for the royal family and relatives. It really needs to discuss together to be fair and appropriate."
"Thank you for your praise, but I really don't dare to take credit for it. This suggestion is what the left prime minister said," Yuan Tan, who was standing in the first place, immediately said loudly.
"Mr. Marquis is polite, I just said something casually," Tian Feng said modestly immediately.
"Haha, all the contributions are made. From today on, the eldest brother will serve as Zuo Zongzheng, and will fully handle the three positions of Zongren Mansion, the third brother, Mai, and Ping respectively serve as the three positions of You Zongzheng, Zuo Zongren, and You Zongren," Yuan Xi announced loudly.
"No!!" Yuan Shang and Yuan Mai immediately stood up to respond. This incident had already been pissed off with them. It was just a false title. Naturally, they would not refuse. In the future, this is also the symbol of the ancestors of the Yuan family.
Yuan Xi nodded and shouted: "Shangmen Shang, Dali Temple Minister, and Chief Censor"
"I'm here" I saw Xu Miao, Sima Yi, and Jiang Wan immediately stood up from among the civil and military officials.
"I looked at the division of rights of the three parts, and I felt it was inappropriate in some places." Yuan Xi became a little more serious.
"Please tell me clearly," Sima Yi said curiously,
"I have said long ago that the Tolerance Department was born entirely for the people. It does not involve our Dayan officials. The Dayan officials are the Censorate, and the Dali Temple is the final decision. However, your memorial still involves many officials below the county in the Tolerance Department." Yuan Xi said in dissatisfaction.
"King, I have considered this matter, but the current officials in Dayan are not assigned by many officials below the county and county, but the subordinates and the aides arranged by the county magistrates themselves. Therefore, they actually have no official quota, and the local censors cannot effectively integrate, nor can they handle it legitimately," Jiang Wan immediately explained.
Yuan Xi smiled slightly and said, "I know about this matter, I will not hide it from all court officials. In the past, Gu had secretly engaged in the rank of an official because this general and that general were unable to distinguish between people below, and he thought it was the same? Left Prime Minister."
"Minist is here," Tian Feng immediately stood up with a serious face and said loudly: "According to the advice of the king, our Dayan officially implemented the nine-rank ritual system from this year. One rank is the highest, the ninth rank is the lowest, and the ninth rank is the lower, and the ninth rank is the imperial officials. In one month, the various prefectures will be officially promulgated."
When the "Nine-rank ritual system" heard this name, the civil and military officials in the hall became curious. After all, the officials of the predecessors had never had a rank.
"In addition to clarifying the level of officials at all levels in our Dayan, this ninth ritual system is more important to establish the superiority and inferiority of the superiors and subordinates, so that the people can understand intuitively that they are either a small county magistrate or a heavenly king," Yuan Xi said with a smile.
"King, this strategy is very good. In this way, Dali Temple, Censorate, and Toll Affairs Department can completely perform their duties." Hearing this, Sima Yi suddenly said with excitement on his face.
"Haha, okay, then continue to implement it!" Yuan Xi waved his hand happily.
However, late that night, Sima Yi suddenly entered the palace urgently and asked to see Yuan Xi.
"Zhongda, it's so late, is there anything wrong?" Yuan Xi came to the back of Huagai Palace and asked unexpectedly.
"King, I and the Left Prime Minister carefully learned about the Ninth-rank ritual system. I think this system can not only be used to divide grades, but also serve as a weapon for royal power. The Great Yan talent selection system," Sima Yi said excitedly.
Yuan Xi's eyes suddenly froze. Sima Yi was indeed thinking about that aspect just like his previous life. He had changed his name.
"Tell me what you think," Yuan Xi suppressed his anger and asked faintly.
"The officials at all levels of the Great King, the Han and the Great Yan, except for the occasional major test, are actually obtained through local recommendations. I suggest that the Nine-rank ritual system be changed to the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and set up Zhongzheng in various places, so that they can be responsible for the local recommendations and examination of family background, morality, and talents. In this way, the officials of various prefectures and counties can be directly deprived of their own power to establish their subordinates, and all the power of appointment and removal of officials are taken to the royal family to ensure the supremacy of the royal family." Sima Yi said excitedly.
"Don't let your mother goofy farts." When Yuan Xi heard this, he suddenly cursed.
Sima Yi was shocked and said with a nervous look on his face: "Big, great king, what did I say wrong?"
"What is the ninth rank Zhongzheng system? You are not defending the royal power, but maintaining the power of the gentry." Yuan Xi slapped the table heavily.
Sima Yi was so scared that he knelt on the ground, and said with a pale face: "King, I have no intention!"
"Your strategy seems to establish the kingdom, but it is actually a disaster for thousands of years. There is no problem with this generation of Gu, but as long as two or three generations, the so-called Nine-rank Zhongzheng system will become a powerful family of the gentry and a powerful weapon for the promotion. If you tell Gu, how to compare with the gentry and the gentry, you will tell you what phenomenon will happen, that is, there is no poor family, and no noble family, and the whole world will be controlled by the gentry. Not to mention the royal power, they can even privately change the royal power. Today, Gu really wants to kill you immediately." Yuan Xi said with an extremely cold tone. The Nine-rank Zhongzheng system has led to the emergence of one family, only by bloodline, which is the root of the disaster, and eventually led to the most miserable Five Barbarians invasion of China in China's history, hiding the glorious and proud years of the Han people.
Sima Yi trembled all over and reacted instantly. Because he was his own aristocratic family, he took it for granted that the aristocratic family must be much better than the poor family. Their character would definitely be loyal to Dayan to the death, but he did forget that this was exactly what Yuan Xi was most taboo about.
Yuan Xi looked at the loyalty value that was as high as ninety-five, who had achieved the loyalty of being with his life, calmed down a little, shook his head and sighed: "Your loyalty to Gu, Gu understands that you really want to ensure Gu's supreme royal power, but don't bring yourself to everyone. Many gentry and wealthy families are not as loyal as you, and the emperors of descendants do not have the prestige of Gu to suppress everything. Don't mention this plan again."
"King" Sima Yi left tears in shame.
Yuan Xi personally helped Sima Yi up and said softly: "It's okay, Zhongda, you have a good intention, go back!"
"Thank you," Sima Yi said gratefully with tears in his arms.
When Sima Yi left, Yuan Xi's face instantly became frighteningly cold.
