Zhao Kuo's overall political system design is mainly a design that integrates the systems of various dynasties in history and modern countries.

First of all, civil servants headed by the Prime Minister should become the mainstream, which is the most basic principle.

Why do civil servants become mainstream?

The answer is actually very simple, because the civil servants have a very little threat to Zhao Kuo, the royal power.

In the historical dynasties of China, the dynasties in power in civil servants were mainly the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. In these two dynasties, there were basically few powerful ministers who could invade the royal power. The only powerful minister should be Zhang Juzheng.

This is because even if the civil servant is in power, he has no soldiers in his hands. If he does not have soldiers, he cannot rebel and cannot threaten the royal power.

But the situation in the dynasty where military generals were in power was completely different.

For example, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, commonly known as the "Three Kingdoms Age", it was a typical example. Various military generals who controlled the army relied on their own, and the Han Dynasty emperors were in name only.

The same was true for the Tang Dynasty. The various military governors who controlled the military power were also Zhu Wen, the one who eventually destroyed the Tang Dynasty.

Civil officials were in power, civil officials governed their daily military affairs. Military generals were only responsible for leading troops to fight. After the war, they had nothing to do with the army. This was the proven effective method of the Song and Ming dynasties, and it was also a common method used in modern society. The same was true for the later generations of Emperor Mi.

Secondly, Zhao Kuo adopted the prime minister system, but the prime minister system actually has its drawbacks, that is, if he encounters a very strong prime minister, he may directly undermine the king.

Of course, Zhao Kuo cannot be undermined, but will Zhao Kuo's descendants be undermined?

No one can say this well.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo directly divided the power of the prime minister into three parts, namely the prime minister, the left prime minister, and the right prime minister.

Among them, the prime minister is the largest, and he is the chief civil and military officials, which is the prime minister in the traditional sense.

As the assistant of the prime minister, the two men held two key positions, Si Kou and Taiwei. In this way, the prime minister also had very powerful power. Although both of them were deputy positions, they were enough to balance the prime minister.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, and Interior are all departments that are commonly found in modern countries, so there is no need to repeat them.

As for the county system below, Zhao Kuo did not make any major changes.

The county system has not changed much until now. It is just that due to the larger modern population, more official positions have been added and some departments have been further subdivided. The current population size of the Han Dynasty has not reached that level.

In short, this time the new framework has been completely established.

For Zhao State, this seemed to be just a change in the name of a country and an official, but in fact it was a earth-shaking change.

Some officials loyal to Zhao also strongly opposed this and even submitted memorials to impeach Zhao Kuo directly, claiming that Zhao Kuo was a traitor to Zhao.

Zhao Kuo also ignored these guys and removed them from their official positions, and then let them go home and go to cool off.

Mao Sui actually had different ideas about this matter: "Master, why don't you kill them directly?

If the king is worried about taking responsibility, then I can let these people die quietly, and absolutely no one can doubt us."

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "No, let them live."

They felt that Zhao State was a better country and I didn’t need to change their ideas.

They can continue to criticize my Han Kingdom, but I will let all the Han people know that the Han Kingdom will be better and stronger than the Zhao Kingdom before! If the people have a better life, who will miss the Han Kingdom and who will obey their words?

If they want to continue criticizing Han and criticize me at that time, they don’t need to take action personally, and the people of Han will naturally teach them to be human."

Zhao Kuo’s meaning is very simple. Haven’t you always said that Zhao is good and Han is not good?

Then I will keep you and let you witness the increasingly powerful process of the Han Dynasty with your own eyes, and slap you in the face with a blow.

kill?

This method is too low-level.

To use reality to slap these critics in the face and make these Zhao Guo’s remaining elders speechless, this is the way Zhao Kuo likes! After hearing this, Mao Sui couldn’t help but be convinced: “The king is worthy of being the king. This way of thinking is completely beyond my expectations. Gao, it is indeed Gao.”

For Mao Sui, it was more than ten years ago that he left Zhao State.

At that time, Zhao Kuo was full of energy and full of strength.

So more than ten years later, Mao Sui, who returned to Zhao State again, suddenly realized that Zhao Kuo was no longer the lord he remembered.

Zhao Kuo is not only the famous King of Han, but also has become a mature politician and has a politician pattern.

kill?

Too small in mind.

Which wise ruler in all dynasties is bloodthirsty?

No, none.

Only those who can tolerate criticism like Zhao Kuo can truly become a wise king! Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and walked to the map.

After a long time, Zhao Kuo spoke slowly: "Tomorrow, let the prime ministers and ministers gather, and I will ask them to hold an important meeting."

Mao Sui hurriedly took the order.

After the business was handled, Zhao Kuo took a carriage and returned to his mansion.

The plaque hanging on this mansion once had four words written on it, "Wu Xinjun Mansion", but now the new plaque reads "Hanwang Mansion".

The main entrance opened wide, and Zhao Kuo's carriage slowly drove into the mansion.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Zhao Kuo saw his three wives.

"Husband."

Tian Wan took Qiu'er and Yi Quwei together to salute Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo laughed and grabbed Tian Wan's hand: "Queen, they are all old husbands and wives, so don't do this in the future."

Since Zhao Kuo has become the king of the Han Dynasty, Tian Wan naturally changed from Mrs. Wu Xinjun to the Queen of Han! Tian Wan smiled gently and said to Zhao Kuo: "I am thinking about it. After all, I just became the queen, and I don't know what to do with the rules. It's better to be careful."

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud: "What did the queen say? You are a princess and a queen of my own. Of course, you are here to establish this rule for others to follow. Where is the reason for you to be careful?"

Zhao Kuo was very satisfied with Tian Wan's true wife.

Over the years, Zhao Kuo has been both worried about government affairs or going out for war, and it can be said that he has given his family very little time.

Under such circumstances, Tian Wan took on the responsibility of taking care of Wu Xinjun's back home. Not only did she adjust the back home in an orderly manner, but she also helped Zhao Kuo successfully educate a large number of children.

Many children led by Zhao Qian are now humble and polite, and are also highly praised in the political arena of Zhao.

In other words, Zhao Kuo has been the top noble of the Zhao State for many years and is a top nobleman. Ordinary people dare not easily compete with Zhao Kuo, otherwise, relying solely on the quality of these children, the person who proposed marriage would have already broken through the threshold.

Tian Wan still smiled very gently in the face of Zhao Kuo's praise, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, I have asked someone to prepare the meal. Go and have a meal quickly, and then take a rest and take a shower."

Zhao Kuo looked at Tian Wan's gentle appearance and suddenly felt a hint of heat in his heart.

Although time has passed, it seems that there is no trace on Tian Wan's face.

If the girl Tian Wan, who used to be so pure and beautiful, now Tian Wan is elegant and luxurious, elegant and dignified.

Zhao Kuo whispered to Tian Wan: "Queen, are you interested in creating a prince tonight?"

Tian Wan was stunned at first when she heard this, then a hint of blush flashed across her cheeks, and she said angrily: "Master!"

Zhao Kuo laughed.

For Zhao Kuo, whenever he finishes his busy schedule of handling political affairs, he will go home and chat with his wife and children, which is the greatest comfort in his life.

The next day, Zhao Kuo convened several important officials of the Han Dynasty and held a meeting.

Although the system and official positions have been reformed, there are only nine people who can participate in this meeting, and these nine people are the people who really decide the major affairs of Zhao State.

As soon as the meeting was opened, Prime Minister Xu Li said, "King, you have ascended the throne now, and you should build a new palace."

After Xu Li finished speaking, he immediately gained the recognition of many ministers.

For these Han ministers, as Zhao Kuo's ministers, of course, they hope that Zhao Kuo can handle political affairs in an extremely luxurious palace, which is where the status is truly reflected.

Originally, the Zhao Palace in Handan City was of course a ready-made place, but since Zhao Kuo had already "secretized" the Zhao Palace to King Zhao, then naturally everyone would not continue to persuade Zhao Kuo in this place.

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, I'm going to ask you to come here today to discuss this matter."

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, the left prime minister Pang Xian immediately stated: "The king, the old minister is not talented, and is willing to be responsible for supervising the construction of a new palace for the king."

Other ministers also expressed their opinions that they were very active in this palace matter.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuo immediately smiled.

"No, no, you all misunderstood.

I don’t want to build a new palace outside Handan City, I want to move the capital.”

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, the important officials of Zhao State present immediately showed unexpected expressions.

Move the capital?

This is something that no one has ever thought about.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Yes, although Handan is good, it is the capital of Zhao for hundreds of years.

If I still decided to be here, I would inevitably feel that I had nothing to do with Zhao State.

Therefore, I think moving the capital is the best strategy.”

As the capital of Zhao State, many people here think of Zhao State. This is equivalent to Zhao State's base camp. As a person who replaced Zhao State, Zhao Kuo lived here, obviously had some hidden dangers.

There are actually many such examples in history.

For example, after Qin Xiaogong initiated Shang Yang's reform, he was opposed by the conservative nobles in the Qin State.
