Chapter 0133 Five Hundred
No matter how lively a banquet is, it will eventually come to an end. Seven consecutive days of drinking and eating meat had made many people lazy. Qu Yunmie could not bear to see others idle, so he naturally would not allow his soldiers to have this situation. Therefore, for several days in a row, he went out early and came back late in the military camp. Xiao Rong was relieved without him bothering him.
Gao Xunzhi, Xiao Rong and Song Suo sat together to review the list. Song Suo recommended, Xiao Rong analyzed, and finally Gao Xunzhi made the final decision on the new governors of Nanyang and Runan counties. …
The process seemed quite complicated. In fact, Song Suo only nominated three people in total. Everyone could see how picky Song Suo was. Xiao Rong then kicked out one of them and decided on the destinations of the remaining two. The names of the two were then sent to Gao Xunzhi. It was actually just a formality. After all, Gao Xunzhi trusted Xiao Rong very much. Unless there were major problems, he would never reject Xiao Rong.
After the list was finalized, Gao Xunzhi took it out to look for people. As he was older and more prestigious, he was always in charge of such earnest conversations.
The three of them quietly decided the future of Nanyang and Runan. You know, the old governors there were still alive. They thought they had served Zhao Xingzong well and were very proud of themselves.
As for whether they would do anything after receiving the dismissal order… Chenliu is heavily guarded, and the two places are so close to each other. If they dare to use force, Qu Yunmie will be worried about having no place to vent his anger after having eaten and drunk enough. I believe that after getting the news, King Zhenbei will happily run to suppress them.
If they dare to use soft tactics, Xiao Rong doesn't care. As a county governor, you can't even handle such a small problem. If you always ask the higher-ups to help you when something happens, it only means that you are a waste and you should step down and make room for others as soon as possible. ...
Just when writing the formal appointment document, Xiao Rong paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
Song Suo immediately raised his head and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Xiao Rong: “…”
Song Shuo has been very sensitive recently. He cares a lot about the slightest sign of trouble. I don’t know what he cares about.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Rong said, "I think today's incident is quite interesting."
Song Suo was puzzled: "What's the point? In my opinion, when they were dismissed, they should have been given a three-foot white silk. They even dared to neglect the people I sent. They should be ready to be killed and die as a token of apology."
Xiao Rong: “…………”
It has been almost half a year, and let alone making any progress into a very smart person, Xiao Rong even felt that Song Suo had regressed a bit. Whenever he encountered something like this, he would become extremely extreme.
They are a bit like the former Yu Shaoxie. To be honest, Yu Shaoxie no longer calls for war and killing. He is still brave and stubborn, but he always uses both kindness and force to deal with similar things. It can be seen from the letters sent back by Sheng Le that Sheng Le is becoming more and more stable. The prisoners of war and the Xianbei people have become obedient. It takes a lot of ability to calm so many troublemakers.
Xiao Rong wondered, could this be the legendary God closing a door for you and opening a window for you?
Xiao Rong couldn't help but look at this door which seemed to be very stubborn at the moment.
Song Suo: "...Why are you looking at me again?"
Xiao Rong shrugged: "You look good."
Xiao Rong thought Song Suo would blush after hearing this, after all, he was a pure-hearted guy. However, Song Suo never let him down.
Nodding, Song Shuo said to him as if he was giving him a gift: "Yes, if you want to see it, then see as much as you want."
Xiao Rong: “…”
The topic had been changed by the confident Song Shuo, so Xiao Rong kept silent and did not explain further.
He laughed because the way the three of them handled the matter today was a bit like the three-province and six-department system of division of labor and cooperation.
In the early days of feudal society, society was extremely turbulent. To be honest, the current situation is not as good as it was in the early days. After all, people at that time did not quite agree with the profession of emperor, and the concept of "Son of Heaven" was not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The emperors were busy protecting themselves and their families, so naturally they had no time to concentrate the imperial power in their hands.
A few decades later, society became relatively stable, and any emperor with a bit of ambition tried to take back the power in his hands.
The system of three provinces and six ministries is just a relatively mature system of decentralizing the power of the prime minister. Before the system of three provinces and six ministries came into being, there was an extremely long process. The title of prime minister alone has changed countless times in the past thousand years. In a sense, the position of Situ that Xiao Rong now holds is actually a position that shares the power of the prime minister.
But immaturity has its reasons. The position of Situ can be big or small. A step closer can make him the Grand Situ, who, like the Grand Sima, can control the government. A step further can make him the Minister of Civil Affairs, whose only function is to handle finances and he cannot control the prime minister above him at all.
Xiao Rong held his head high. There were reasons why positions like Situ, Sikong, Taizai, and Taifu were eliminated. They held too much power. Even if the emperor tried hard to separate them, as long as the title was associated with the person, and the person in the position was very powerful, he would have the opportunity to suppress others of the same level.
The defeat of Nanyong was partly due to this official system. There were too many first-rank officials, and even Sun Renluan had to give face to those people. Everyone had a say and felt that they had weight, so the atmosphere in the court naturally became chaotic.
Of course, this is only a relatively small reason. The more important reason is that they are too nepotistic. If they want to deal with a person, they have to deal with that person's family, in-laws, teachers, and party members together. Just like Yang Zangyi back then, why didn't he get into any trouble and could continue to be the prime minister after causing such a big disaster? It was because his background was too strong. Unless they played dirty, neither Yang Zangyi nor Sun Renluan could touch each other.
It gives me a headache just thinking about it. If the system had asked Xiao Rong to save the little emperor, Xiao Rong would have died together with the little emperor. …
Although Xiao Rong knew that there were more stable official systems in the world, they were too advanced. Compared with this era, the three provinces and six ministries were already very fashionable. A court could not only have young people who were easy to accept new things. There must be many middle-aged and elderly people with deep roots. The wisdom of the elderly should not be underestimated. Moreover, destroying Nanyong did not mean killing all Nanyong people with one stick. Even in a rotten court, there were still a few pillars. The loyalty of these people could make the new dynasty go more smoothly. Otherwise, Xiao Rong even wanted to win over Sun Renluan.
Well, that's it. The official system can be improved slowly, but the aristocratic families must be eliminated. You can't have your cake and eat it too. People should not be too greedy.
Xiao Rong lowered his eyes slightly and put the written document aside. At this critical moment, he didn't need to think about sending the document to Nanyong to have the young emperor seal it. Since they had already torn their relationship apart, why bother to do something like trying to cover up the truth? *
