Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, unified the country and founded the Han Dynasty in 202 BC, the Han Dynasty has gone through the Wenjing rule, Emperor Wu's expansion of territory, Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu's resurgence, and the rule of Mingzhang.  It was glorious, powerful and powerful all over the world, but it ended in AD 200 at the hands of the last Han emperor Liu Yuan, who abdicated the throne of emperor to King Wu Zhou Yu.

    The imperial destiny of the Han Dynasty lasted for 402 years. Under internal and external difficulties, it finally collapsed.

    Since then, a new great "Chinese" empire has arisen on the land of China, and history has changed!

    When he first ascended the throne and established a new dynasty, Zhou Yu granted amnesty to the whole world, appeased the people, benefited the poor, and received rewards from all civil and military officials.  In the harem, Princess Wu Deng Yu was made empress, and Xiao Qiao was made a noble concubine. At this time, Deng Yu was no longer the green sweetheart she used to be with Zhou Yu as a childhood sweetheart.  Watch with admiration.

    The eldest son, Zhou Xun, was fifteen years old. He was smart, wise, kind-hearted, and a leader. He was appointed as the crown prince.  The second son, Zhou Yin, was only eleven years old, but he was majestic and powerful. He studied under Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others. He had the potential to become a famous general. Zhou Yu vigorously trained him in the hope that he would become a pillar of the country and assist his brother in the future.  Zhou Xun.

    After the second son, there are one son and two daughters including Zhou Jun, born to Deng Yu and Xiao Qiao respectively.  The prosperous royal family is naturally a blessing to the country.

    The capital of the Great China Empire is still located in Moling.  At this time, the scale of Moling City has already surpassed Chang'an and Luoyang, becoming the largest city in the world. There are probably millions of residents inside and outside the city!

    Soon after he ascended the throne, Zhou Yu issued an order to change the name of Moling back to Jinling to be more consistent with its status as the capital of the world.  The name Jinling comes from five hundred years ago, when King Wei of Chu built a city on Stone Mountain and established Jinling City.  More than 400 years ago, Qin Shihuang changed Jinling to Moling. Now it was changed back by Zhou Yu. Since then, the name of Jinling has been passed down to later generations.

    ??This is how things should go around in reincarnation.

    The end of the Han Dynasty was not Zhou Yu's intention. He was already the de facto emperor, and all the civil and military officials in the country followed his wishes.  However, the situation is like this, and the subordinates who have followed him for many years all have this intention. If he just gives in, it will chill their hearts.  Moreover, Zhou Yu has made up his mind to get rid of the old evils, change history, and protect the land of China from the ravages of foreign races in the future. Only by himself can he have the greatest possibility of establishing a new dynasty.

    Therefore, Zhou Yu accepted Liu Yuan's concession without ceremony.  He knew in his heart that from now on, he would be independent from high places, and behind the power of the emperor was endless loneliness.  He also understood that the Great China Empire he ruled would shoulder the historical mission of inheriting and prospering China. The life or death, survival or death, glory or decline of the Chinese nation would all weigh heavily on his shoulders.

    Heaven will give great responsibilities to the people of Sri Lanka!

    What Zhou Yu most urgently wanted to implement was the reform of the official system.

    Starting from the Western Zhou Dynasty, its official system was inherited from the Xia and Shang Dynasties, and was established by King Wu, Duke Zhou, King Cheng and King Kang. Shi, Bao, Zai and Dazai were the leaders of Bailiao. There were six official systems, including "Three Dukes": Tai  Master, Taifu, and Taibao, the "Three Guys": Young Master, Young Master, and Young Protector. "Liu Qing" is a political officer, also known as "Six Officials".  The Emperor of Zhou divided the feudal lords into feudal lords, and these princes and kings "exclusively dominated the country" within their territories and enjoyed supreme power.

    With the continuous growth of the strength of the local princes, the Zhou royal family was gradually weakened, and finally existed in name only. In order to compete for the hegemony of the world, various princely states continued to attack each other, and the world was divided and wars continued.

    It can be seen that the method of enfeoffing princes and kings was appropriate for King Wu of Zhou. After all, the society and economy at that time were very underdeveloped and the population was small. The emperor was unable to govern such a vast area. It was a good idea to divide and rule it by the princes who were trusted by the emperor.  .  But the biggest flaw of this method is that the local princes have too much power, which will pose a huge threat to the central court.

    When King Yingzheng of Qin unified China, he established a centralized system of counties and counties, dividing the country into thirty-six counties. The county guards were in charge of administration, the county lieutenants were in charge of the troops, and the censors were responsible for supervising officials. The chiefs of counties under the counties were composed of  The direct appointment by the court greatly dispersed the power of the county governor.  The central official system is a three-gong and nine-qing system, with the prime minister, Taiwei, and Yushi Dafu as the core, and Weiwei, Lang Zhongling, Taipu, Tingwei, Dianke, Fengchang, Zongzheng, Shaofu, and Zhisu Nei.  Shi Jiuqing assisted the prime minister in managing government affairs.

    The official system of the Qin Dynasty was a system that ensured the supreme authority of the emperor. Its shortcoming was that state affairs were not separated from the monarch's family affairs, and government affairs were mixed with palace affairs.

    The official system of the Han Dynasty basically followed that of the Qin Dynasty, with slight changes.  In order to strengthen the imperial power, weaken the power of the prime minister, and establish the Sino-Korean system, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty selected a group of lower-status inner court personnel to participate in the government affairs. This was not only the product of the contradiction between imperial power and prime minister power, but also the result of the expansion of the power of close ministers in the inner court.  The consequence was that the power of eunuchs and foreign relatives continued to grow and they interfered too much in government affairs, eventually leading to the decline of the country.

    ?In addition, the state and county system implemented during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty initially established state governors to facilitate the supervision of officials in various places. However, in the later period, these state governors gradually became more powerful and more powerful, and they became princes one by one.  Kingdom, eventually led to the demise of the Han Dynasty.

    From the perspective of the official selection and appointment system, the Xia, Shang, Zhou and Pre-Qin periods adopted a hereditary system, where royal power and clan power were unified.  It determines the appointment of government officials at all levels through family blood relationships, and determines the rank and rank of officials based on blood relationship.  Those who hold titles and official positions enjoy fiefs and fiefs for generations.  The shortcomings of the hereditary system are huge. Truly talented people cannot be reused due to limitations of their status.

    During the Western Han Dynasty, a recommendation system was implemented. The criteria for recommendation were mainly virtue and talent, rather than family background. It broke through the barriers of the pre-Qin aristocratic hereditary system by blood and included two systems: the imperial examination and the conquest system.  In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the practices of seeking favors, forming cliques for selfish interests, and practicing fraud were prevalent in the selection of officials, and the inspection and recruitment system gradually deteriorated.

    In Zhou Yu¡¯s view, the reform of the official system that he most wants to do is to change the central official system from the three-gong-nine-ministerial system to the three-province-six-ministry system, change the local official system from the state and county system to the provincial system, and change the official selection system from the recommendation system to the scientific examination system!

    The Three Provinces and Six Ministries system is the historical central official system of the Tang and Song Dynasties. It was formally established by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and further improved in the Tang Dynasty.

    The three provinces are Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Shangshu Province.  The Zhongshu Sheng is responsible for formulating decrees and issuing orders. The chief minister Zhongshu Ling has two people. The subordinate ministers are responsible for reviewing the seals and refutations. The chief minister serves two people. The imperial edicts passed by the Zhongshu and the subordinates are handed over to the Shangshu Province for implementation after the emperor's decision.  The duties of the Shangshu Province are execution. The chief minister is one person, the deputy chief minister, and the deputy chief minister is one servant each.

    The Shangshu Province has jurisdiction over the six departments of officials, households, rituals, military affairs, punishment, and work. The six departments are responsible for various administrative matters. Each department has four divisions, totaling twenty-four divisions.  The chiefs of the three provinces discuss state affairs together and perform the duties of prime minister.

    ?Compared with the system of three ministers and nine ministers, the advantage of the system of three provinces and six ministries is that it has clear division of labor, efficient operation, mutual restraint, centralized imperial power and decentralized ministerial power.  (To be continued.
