Chapter 53 Three fires when the new official takes office
After visiting Xun, Cao Chong returned to the Luoyang Marquis Mansion and arranged some necessary matters.
Since he was going to work at Shangshu Desk, Cao Chong naturally understood the official system and relevant personnel of Shangshu Desk.
The Shangshutai of the Eastern Han Dynasty organized a Shangshu Ling, a rank of thousands of stones, and a Shangshu Pushe, a rank of six hundred stones. He was appointed as the Shangshu Shishi, and the Shangshu Ling was not here, so he would handle official duties on his behalf.
The Shangshu left and right chiefs each had one person, and the rank was 400 stones. He was in charge of the document meeting, assisted the orders, and served in charge of the affairs.
The six ministers of Cao, each with 600 shi. The three ministers were in charge of the performance of officials in prefectures and counties at the end of the year; the Ministry of Personnel was in charge of elections and sacrifices; the civil servants were in charge of all related construction and management of salt ponds; the guest was in charge of congratulations for ethnic minorities in the border areas; the two thousand shi, were in charge of judicial litigation affairs; the Zhongdu official was in charge of water, fire, thieves and other public security work.
The Minister of Shangshu is rank 400 stones, and each Cao is 6 people in charge of drafting documents. The Minister of Shangshu is rank 200 stones, and each Cao is rank 3 people in charge of the book.
Speaking of which, Cao Chong's third prince Cao was actually just a small official of 600 stones, but he was called a small official, but in fact he was just a low position and his power was extremely heavy.
The Shangshutai of the Eastern Han Dynasty was extremely powerful, and issued both imperial edicts and political orders; the election of court officials was in charge; the Shangshutai also had the power to inspect, impeach and entrust all officials; and participated in the planning and decision-making of major state affairs, which had a significant impact on the government.
However, although the power of the Shangshutai is heavy, the position of the Taiwanese official is humble, and the superior Shangshuling is only a thousand stones, and is still under the nine ministers. Such a low position is all served by the emperor personally as a capable person, which is easy to control and has high efficiency.
After Emperor He of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many young monarchs and weak lords were often controlled by relatives and eunuchs. Even if the three dukes had to obey the Shangshu, the Shangshu was often controlled by relatives and eunuchs who had greater real power.
This is also the reason why all the officials in the Shangshutai are inferior and have a high position.
This is because of political needs.
Cao Chong's three ministers, Cao Chong, worked in the front pavilion of Tai Pavilion (Shangshutai). He had twelve ministers and eight ministers of Shangshulingshi under his command.
It is one of the most important departments of Shangshutai.
Of course, this department is usually quite idle and doesn't do anything, so the Shangshu Shilang and Shangshu Lingshi, who are under the Three Duke Cao, sometimes go back to do other things.
But at the end of autumn, the court will have year-end assessments of prefectures and counties, and it will be very busy at that time.
The Shangshu Tai Shangshu Ling was Xun, and the Six Caos Shangshu were Chen Qun. As for the Cao of the Ministry of Personnel and Cao of the People, most of them were the people of the Yingchuan gentry, either the surname Xun or the surname Chen.
From this perspective, Xun's power in Shangshutai is indeed too great.
This is also the reason why Cao Cao killed Xun when he knew that Xun was a little bit unfavorable to him.
He has too much power in his hands. When you are loyal, you have to say that if he is unfaithful, then things will be very difficult.
Cao Chong's eyes flashed.
Most of his twelve Shangshushou Shulings were from the Yingchuan gentry, which was not good news for Cao Chong.
You should know that among the Yingchuan gentry, except for the Xun family, no matter Chen Qun or Jia Xu, they were already on Cao Pi's side.
If you don’t understand the ingredients of your subordinates, you won’t be able to use them more easily in the future.
So when he took office, it was time for Cao Chong to change his blood.
The three Duke Cao said more or less about things, and Cao Chong decided to transfer Zhou Buyi over. If he had no time, he could help him do something.
As for Lu Xun, Cao Chong did not dare to let go of all his vigilance against him, so it was very appropriate to stay in the Luoyang Marquis' Mansion.
As for Lu Song and Guo Xiao, Cao Chong has another place for them.
After thinking about this, Cao Chong began to prepare what he wanted to prepare.
The next morning.........
Cao Chong sat in his huge car and slowly headed towards the Shangshutai.
The Shangshutai is adjacent to the Palace of the Wei Dynasty, which is also a reason for facilitating the circulation of government orders.
Soon, Cao Chong appeared outside the Shangshu Deck.
The Shangshutai is not small, but not large. If it is about the area of land, it is even worse than Pingyuan Hou Mansion, and it is even more about the mansion of the General of the Five-Secrets.
Of course, his area is quite large.
Looking inside from outside, the ancient trees are stacked, the houses and palaces are lined up, the strict guards, the serious and classical architectural style, and the stone man and stone mounts make the Shangshu Deck serious.
In fact, the architectural style of every government agency is serious, whether ancient or modern.
Cao Chong walked down from the carriage of the princes, and his goal was more than twenty people wearing government officials.
From his clothes, we can see that some of them were Shangshu Shilang, and some of them were Shangshu Lingshi.
The person standing in front of him was wearing Gongcao's clothes.
Cao Chong came up and the person standing in front of Cao Chong immediately saluted Cao Chong.
"Secretary Chen Shu, pay homage to Shangguan."
He performed the etiquette of his subordinates meeting his superiors.
Since Chen Shu had bowed, the Shangshu Shilang and the Shangshu Lingshi, who were behind him, also bowed to Cao Chong.
Don't hit people with a smile.
Since they are here to welcome them, they are giving them face. Cao Chong is not willing to give them face to those who give them face.
So Cao Chong smiled on his face and slowly walked into the Shangshu Platform under Chen Shu's guidance.
Cao Chong and Chen Shu walked in front, while Shangshu Shilang and Shangshu Lingshi were walking behind.
Cao Chong's group of people had a great show and attracted the attention of many people. However, Cao Chong is not Cao Chong a few years ago. When they saw that the leader was Luoyang Hou, they turned their heads to the other side with tactfulness.
Under Chen Shu's introduction, Cao Chong also had a preliminary understanding of the structure of the Shangshu Deck.
The Shangshutai is divided into front desk pavilion, middle desk pavilion and back desk pavilion.
The front desk pavilion has three Duke Cao and the Ministry of Personnel Cao, while the middle desk pavilion is the office space for other Gongcao, and the back desk pavilion is the office space for Xun.
Under the guidance of Chen Shu, Cao Chong quickly arrived at his office space.
The office space of Sangong Cao is quite large, with a main hall, more than a dozen rows of houses, and a large courtyard.
Cao Chong nodded, indicating that he was quite satisfied with this place.
After arriving at the hall, Cao Chong looked at Chen Shu, then looked at the people behind him, and said, "Chen Shu, come and take me to see the office. Everyone else will wait here first."
waiting?
Chen Shu paused, his face changed a little, but finally he showed a smile and took Cao Chong in. The more enthusiastic you were, the more enthusiastic you were.
Their faces were not very good-looking at the Shangshu and Shangshu Lingshi.
Is this a demonstration?
Or do you think I don't like it?
Three fires will be made when the new official takes office?
The feelings in the hearts of these Yingchuan scholars were not very good.
Chapter completed!
