The three provinces and six ministries are systems that have been developed for a long time since the Western Han Dynasty.

The three provinces refer to the Secretariat, the Menxia Province, the Shangshu Province, and the Six Ministry refer to the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works under the Secretariat. Each department has four departments, with a total of twenty-four departments.

Emperor Wu of Han seized the power of the external dynasty and established an inner dynasty headed by the general, which specialized in handling military and national affairs. He used the Shangshu, who originally belonged to the Shaofu and the Central Secretariat to convey the seal and communicate with the internal and external dynasties, which was the beginning of the Shangshu Province in later generations.

During the Han Dynasty, the Shangshutai was set up, commanding all officials and officials were called Shangshuling. However, the Shangshutai was still in the Shaofu sequence in this system and had low official ranks, so he sent a general, a Grand Sima, and a Taifu to uphold the government in the name of recording Shangshu's affairs.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shizhong Temple was established as the emperor's attendant and consultant organization. Shizhong, Sanqi Changshi and other officials were appointed, and most of them were knowledgeable scholars, and they were selected for the Qing Dynasty.

However, although there was a Shangshutai in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it had become the main agency for handling government affairs, it was an official office affiliated to the inner court and could not be said to be a formal government agency of the country.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the official title system established by the Northern Zhou Dynasty imitated the Zhou rituals was abolished, and a central bureaucracy system with the three provinces and six ministries as the main body was established. The chiefs of the three provinces and six ministries were all ministers. At the same time, the three ministers and the three divisions also participated in the government affairs and were also prime ministers.

The characteristic of the three-provincial system in the Tang Dynasty was that it changed to two provinces and one province shortly after its establishment. The driving force behind this change was the control of imperial power over the ministerial power and the improvement of administrative efficiency.

The emergence and development of the three provinces and six ministries system were in Li Li's mind. From the moment he took charge of the Xiliang Army, he was planning the reform of the political system. He was very clear about the pros and cons of the three provinces and six ministries system. When power was delegated to the three provinces, power was relatively dispersed. It would not form a single-only situation, which would facilitate the control of the emperor and be conducive to centralized rule. However, the three provinces restrained and restricted each other. Although the power was dispersed, it was easy to breed mutual quarrel, do more mistakes, do less mistakes, and shirk responsibility, resulting in inadequate administrative efficiency.

In addition, Li Li has come from later generations and has a high recognition of the military and political system. Therefore, he has been deliberately creating a systematic atmosphere of separation between military and government affairs. Civilian officials govern local prefectures and counties, and military generals are dedicated to military affairs and conquests; just like two parallel tracks, running side by side without interfering with each other, maintaining a relatively independent operating situation.

In view of this, Li Li has been seeking the fit between the three provinces and six ministries and the military and political dual track system, and wants to combine these two political systems to form a new political system, which is conducive to the rule of imperial power and maximize administrative efficiency. This idea has been brewing in his mind for more than ten years and put into action. He made bold attempts to change the current system quietly, allowing his civil and military personnel to subtly accept the new system. He operated in his predetermined ruling system and eventually changed the entire bureaucratic system.

The founding of Xiliang this time is an important opportunity. It is the best time to officially implement the three provinces and six ministries system, and it is also a test field for realizing the separation of military and political affairs that Li Li has planned for a long time.

The system that Li Li planned for a long time was still based on the three provinces and six ministries system. In order to achieve the separation of military and political affairs, the three provinces were changed into the Shangshu Province and the Military Affairs Office. The Shangshu Province was in charge of government affairs and local governance, and the Military Affairs Office was in charge of military and conquest. Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue were the top priority. Because it was in the war period and was not suitable for all reforms, the six ministries remained unchanged for the time being and remained under the jurisdiction of the Shangshu Province, and they were later improved.

Due to the current situation, the Three Kingdoms are in harmony, the situation is tense, and the war is about to begin. Therefore, the new system planned by Li Li cannot be implemented in one step. It must be gradually promoted and completed step by step without affecting the current situation without affecting the current situation. What is being implemented now is only the prototype of the new system, with the Military Affairs Office as the main body and the Six Ministry as the supplement, and there is no clear separation of military and political affairs.

Li Xuan was granted the title of Minister of Personnel and was in charge of the prime minister and state affairs. In fact, he was the chief official of the Secretariat, namely the prime minister. The military minister, including Li Xuan, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, was the core member of the Military Affairs Office. The Military Affairs Office was the center of power in wartime and was in charge of military affairs with Li Li. This is the need for the development of the war situation. Martial times must be regarded as the center of military war. Therefore, the Military Affairs Office is particularly important, and the army is the foundation for maintaining the rise and fall of Jin.

In Changle Hall, Li Ru stood on the upper steps and was still reading the reward order.

"The governor of Youzhou Hua Xin was appointed as the Minister of Rites, the governor of Bingzhou Cui Yan was appointed as the Minister of Revenue, and Xun Chen was appointed as the Minister of Works; the principal was appointed Teng Xiao as the General of the North, Xu Rong as the General of the East, Zhang Liao as the General of the South, and Bo Cai as the General of the West; Huan Fei was appointed as the General of the East, Dian Wei as the General of the West, Zhao Yun as the General of the South, and Ma Chao as the General of the North; Huang Zhong was appointed as the General of the South, Xu Chu as the General of the North, Gao Shun as the General of the East, and Teng Yu as the General of the West."

The lengthy reward edict was read for half an hour, involving more than 300 civil and military officials under Li Li with more than 1,000 official ranks. These were all officials left in the edict. The remaining officials of various prefectures and counties were rewarded, and most of them were promoted. Even if the remaining part was not promoted, they were rewarded with money.

As Li Li ascended the throne and became emperor, all the civil and military officials under his command rose. Among them, the promotion of civil officials was relatively stable, and the phenomenon of seniority was more obvious. In contrast, the rewards received by the generals this time were truly considered jumping promotions, especially the generals of each battalion or the powerful generals who had been on the battlefield. The rewards were unprecedentedly generous. There were many people who were promoted to the third level, and there were hundreds of generals who were awarded the title of marquis, and most of the middle and low-level generals who followed Li Li Zheng to fight. Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why they tried their best to support Li Li ascend the throne, perfectly interpreting the true meaning of a man's attainment of the Tao.

It is worth mentioning that a large number of rising stars emerged during this reward, such as Guo Huai, Hao Zhao, Sun Li, Zhang Yi, and Wang Ping. Compared with the long-time generals and veterans in the army, they did not have outstanding achievements, nor did they lead a battalion of troops alone, but they were able to stand out from thousands of generals, which shows that their talents were extraordinary. They have become the backbone of the million-strong army of Jin State. With time, it may not be impossible to replace the position of veterans. They came from behind and stood alone.

While awarding civil and military officials, more than ten wives and concubines under Li Li's name also received the rewards they deserved. Li Xin, the official wife, became the queen and continued to take charge of the inner palace, Cai Yan, Dong Wan, Ren Hongchang, Chen Yu and Dian Wuxia, and five wives, promoted the imperial concubines, and the remaining ten concubines also promoted the imperial concubines. In this way, a strange phenomenon has been formed: except for one queen, the other sisters are all concubines, with almost the same status. Moreover, the empress and the concubines still live together, and they are still called sisters. There is no other palace, and there is no favoritism. The expenses are distributed equally as always, and Li Xin is distributed in the middle, and Zhang Ai of Zhen is in charge of all industries under the name of the inner palace to supply the daily expenses of the inner palace.

This is because they all have children and should have corresponding status according to convention. In addition, they live together for a long time and have deep feelings. They are not sisters but are better than sisters. Li Li has always treated them equally. There is no difference, and they can invisibly know that their men hate the struggles in the inner family, which prompts them to put away their thoughts they shouldn't have and must get along with their sisters in harmony.

More importantly, before Li Li ascended the throne, he told them that his sons were all studying and growing up together. After they grew up, they must enter the army or be sent to the county for training, and they must obtain fame and fortune through their own efforts. If they want to get a title of king or inherit the throne, they must accumulate enough achievements and stand alone as soon as possible. Then they will lead the army to expedition or follow the army to fight.

At this point, Li Li's attitude was extremely firm, without a doubt because he had enough time to train his son and select an heir with both moral integrity and ability. His eldest son Li Hao is eleven years old, and the remaining few sons are as old as Li Hao. The youngest of the dozen is now five years old, while Li Li is only twenty-nine years old now. Therefore, he has plenty of time to train his sons, and as long as he squeezes out some free time, he can personally educate them to grow up. Even so, when they grow up, Li Li is still young and strong, and can choose heirs by hand, then help him on the horse and send him off for another journey. It is no problem at all. As long as he pays a little attention, once he finds signs of internal strife, he can take action to stop them in time, so as to properly place them and guide them well, so as not to slaughter each other, so as to eliminate internal strife in the palace.

It is precisely because of the many children that Li Li decided that even if his son grows up, he would not have to give them a title. So that status differences will not arise too early, and do not artificially set obstacles for them, increase conflicts, and create a good environment for them to grow up peacefully, grow up in harmony, and then gain fame with his own abilities, thereby determining the future development direction and status. This is Li Li's obsession and a rock-solid belief. Since you have raised these children, you must be responsible for them and educate them well. You must never have any brothers' karma, otherwise Li Li's life will be incomplete and a loser.

After the ministers were rewarded, there was a grand military parade.

This is the highlight of this throne ceremony. In order to ensure that the parade is foolproof, Li Li transferred Huan Feixiong Camp under the tent, Xu Chu's Qinglong Camp under the tent, Gao Shun's camp, Ganning's Jinfan Camp and Wuwei Camp stationed in Yuzhou into the capital, and formed a six-strong parade team with the Huben Camp under the Dianwei Camp under the tent of the capital. After half a month of training, the six re-equipped troops entered the Royal School and showed their military power to the fourteen extra missions and the two major vassal state missions. The combat cavalry charge, infantry and military exercises, navy shooting, the three armies were like arm envoys, majestic and majestic. The appearance of each team made the missions who came to watch the ceremony change their faces, deeply moved and shocked.

In the third month after the founding of the country, Emperor Li Li of Jin issued an imperial edict that shocked the world, which kicked off the Three Kingdoms War.
