The prime minister has been the general term for the highest chief executive since ancient times. "Zao" means dominance. During the Shang Dynasty, it was an official who managed housework and slaves. In the Zhou Dynasty, there were a granddao who was in charge of national affairs, and there were also a granddao who was in charge of aristocratic family affairs, and a town priest who was in charge of a town.\\ The prime minister means assisting. The word "prime" is connected together, which means ministers who assisted the king to control all officials. Therefore, the prime minister is the most sought after by thousands of ministers. The struggle for the power of the prime minister is no less than the struggle for the throne of the emperor.

At first, the power of the prime minister was not inferior to that of the monarch. The king could be the ruler, but could not be the ruler. The ruler was the power of the prime minister. This could prevent the emperor from being stupid and scattered, causing chaos in the world. The prime minister can also be regarded as a position that restricts the emperor's power. Chen Ping, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, summarized: "The prime minister is to assist the emperor, to regulate yin and yang, follow the four seasons, and to follow the four barbarians and princes, to attach importance to the people inside, so that the ministers and officials can take their posts."

However, no emperor likes to be restrained, especially Emperor Wu of Han who is powerful in the world. The division of power of prime ministers began with him. He appointed a group of Confucian scholars as prime ministers to handle daily administrative affairs, while the government affairs center was transferred to the inner court. The prime minister's power gradually transferred to the hands of the chief of the Shangshu. During the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han, He Wu suggested establishing a three-month system on the grounds that the prime minister could not handle a large number of political affairs. So Emperor Cheng changed the censor's imperial court to the Grand Sikong, and then used the Grand Sima, Grand Sikong and Prime Minister as the Three Dukes, which was also a measure aimed at dispersing the power of the prime minister.

After the Jin Dynasty, the multi-prime system was implemented, and the power of the prime minister was further divided. After the Jin Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties were too chaotic, and the power of the prime minister was in chaos. The power of the prime minister was chaotic, the Zhongshu Ling, the Junior Sei, the Shangshu Ling, the Pushe or the general was the prime minister as long as they were close to the emperor. It was not until the Sui Dynasty that the three provinces established the three provinces that stabilized the power of the prime minister. The three provinces were the inner historians of the Neishi Province, the Junior Seishi Province, and the Shangshu Ling of the Shangshu Ling were the prime ministers of a country.

In the early days of the Zhenguan period of Wude of the Tang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty was adopted. However, the system was improved through continuous improvement. The three provincial governors were not enough to meet the needs of the overall system, so they made small fuss with the facts, and they also followed the facts and followed the third rank of the Zhongshu and the Pingzhangshi. At this time, no matter what your status or position you have, as long as you add a title of the Third rank of the Zhongshu or the Pingzhangshi in the Zhongshu and the Pingzhangshi in the official position, you can participate in political affairs and discuss matters with the prime minister. Become the emperor's right-hand man.

The following five dynasties, Song, Liao and Jin priest system basically followed the Tang dynasty, but it also had many of its own characteristics. In short, during this period, the prime minister was no longer worried about his official position. As long as you were valued by the emperor and had a title of political participation behind you, you could discuss matters with the prime minister.

This system did not exist during the Wude period. Li Shimin naturally didn't know about it.

Luo Shixin said it with his memory. He immediately solved the confusion in Li Shimin and gave him a feeling of clearing the clouds and seeing the blue sky: at that time he is the emperor, and everything is up to him. Li Yuan wants to protect Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Yu Wenshi and these old ministers who followed him, and it is understandable. Then don’t touch them, and set up a few more seats for Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji to be able to do the prime minister's affairs, wouldn’t it be enough.

"Okay!" Li Shimin looked at Luo Shixin unexpectedly and said, "You really have come up with a solution!!!" He really didn't expect to get a brilliant plan from Luo Shixin. However, among the people he can trust, Luo Shixin is the only one who knows that this matter can be discussed. So he tried his luck. Even if he doesn't get a satisfactory answer, it's better than thinking hard alone in his heart. But he didn't expect Luo Shixin to help him solve this problem in the simplest way, which was a big surprise.

Luo Shixin said complacently: "What's the matter? I have many ideas!"

Li Shimin was confused and said in a good mood: "I can see that my Lord Shangshu of the Tang Dynasty can indeed say that both civil and military are good... Okay, I will not disturb you from handling the affairs of the Ministry of Justice. If you marry a daughter of Zheng the next day, the gift will definitely be delivered, so it will be inconvenient for you to participate in it in person. Here we congratulate you on your happy wedding, but if you dare to have a new partner and forget my third sister, I will never forgive you."

Luo Shixin first thanked him and expressed his understanding: Pingyang, Luo Shixin's first wife, is indeed not suitable for him to marry Zheng Liwan, as Pingyang's family.

After repeatedly ensuring that he would not treat Pingyang badly, Li Shimin left with satisfaction.

At this time, in the distant overseas, a barbaric country is gradually rising... Yamato!

This is a great thing in the world. If you divide it for a long time, you will be united. If you combine it for a long time, you will be divided. This is a truth that is unchanging when used in any transition.

After the death of the Queen of Ematai, Himeya, who was the first commander of twenty or thirty tribes, Japan was most inevitably in turmoil, until the rise of Yamato. Yamato conquered various tribes and established the first unified state power in the Japanese archipelago. After the change of power, internal attacks, disputes between the court and local tyrants and the central aristocrats also became increasingly fierce, and the "Pani Rebellion" occurred. Katsuki ministers, Ping'an ministers, Dajiao, and the wealthy tribes lost their power one by one in the struggle.

The rich Suwo clan defeated many hostile forces and laughed to the end. Suwo clan's leader Suwo Mazi also formed a political group that controlled the Japanese military and political affairs with the Queen of Japan's Guigu and Prince Shengto.

Su and Ma Zi were in charge of military power, the Empress of Gu, and the Prince of Shengde was in charge of power. They cooperated with each other and led to a significant increase in national strength. In particular, they sent envoys to the Sui Dynasty to obtain scriptures five times, absorbing the cultural administrative system of the Han people, causing a significant increase in economic and cultural growth, and gradually moving from a slave society to a feudal society.

Nowadays, Prince Shengde, Suwo Mazi, has passed away one after another. The Queen of Tuigu was too old to do many things. The Yamato regime fell into the hands of Suwo Mazi's son Suwo Mazi, and was in power.

At this time, Su I, the Emily, met the Baekje envoy Murasu in his mansion.

Mulusu bowed and said, "My Lord, my king has decided to leave for Tang State soon. He specially ordered me to come and report to the Lord. I wonder if he has any instructions?" Mulusu is a doctor from the Baekje Imperial College, but he can only bow down and surrender to Su Ie Yi.

Su I, Ei, said: "Listen to Huiqi, what Huiji and the two said were good developments, and it is worth communicating with me, Sunrise and Shangguo. I will arrange for Yadabezao to accompany you to see if what they said is true. If it is true, I can persuade the Emperor to arrange envoys to interact with him, so that the barbarians can go far away to the vassals and feel the glory of Sunrise and the glory of Sunrise and the rise of my Sunrise and the glory of."

Muluo knelt on the ground, saying that he was.

Su I, Emily, looked arrogant and arrogant.

There is no doubt that the barbarians and far-farers in Su We, the mouth of Emily, refer to the Tang Dynasty.

Even when Japan is undeveloped and unconscious, it cannot hide its wolves ambitions.

They sent envoys to the Central Plains to learn culture many times, but they did not learn the various noble qualities of the Central Plains, and learned the theory of barbarians in the Central Plains.

The Han culture was extremely prosperous, with world-famous cultural heritage and world-famous political system. Under the brilliant culture of the Han people, it further highlighted the barbarism of the surrounding foreign races and the Han people who ate raw meat and drank blood. These foreign Han people have always regarded them as barbarians. However, Japan understood the theory of barbarians and regarded Japan as the center of the world with Yelang's heart, and derived the Japanese-centric theory. Just like a copy of the concept of "barbarians and Xia", except for Japan, the rest are barbarians. In their internal documents, there are laws that call "Tang Kingdom" "barbarians", and Korea is "near vassals" and Tang is "far vassals".

Therefore, during the Sui Dynasty, Prince Shengto sent an envoy to the Sui Dynasty for the first time, and was very domineering in his document, "The emperor wrote a letter at sunrise, and the emperor was safe at sunset." He directly placed his identity on the Great Sui Dynasty. In order to show the superior state of the Celestial Kingdom, Yang Guang was furious, but he did not care about Japan's rudeness, so he sent an envoy Pei Shiqing to Japan for a visit. According to what Pei Shiqing said, "when he met the Japanese emperor, "it seemed inappropriate to perform rituals according to Japanese customs."

In fact, Japan has no intention of being a subordinate to the Sui Dynasty from the beginning, and puts itself equal to the Sui Dynasty, or even above it, unilaterally absorbs culture from the Sui Dynasty and enriches itself, just like animals, just unilaterally seeks it without giving. However, Yang Guang was deceived by the superficial appearance and thought that Japan sent an envoy to congratulate him.

After that, Japan's attitude towards the Tang Dynasty was the same. They claimed to the people internally that they were the center of the world and how powerful they were, and they dealt with the Tang Dynasty with a deceptive attitude. This is why there is a sentence in the "Old Book of Tang" about Japan that said that "the Japanese envoys who entered the court were mostly proud of themselves and did not respond to the truth." It was only because neither the Sui and Tang dynasties took Japan as a "vassal state" in mind that they deceived them with various inferior methods.

On the one hand, Su I, the Emily, looked down on the barbarians who were talking about, and on the other hand, he thought about Huiqi and Huiri brought back news, intending to get benefits from the Tang Dynasty.

Huiqi and Huiri were the monks who left the Sui envoys left by Prince Shengde who sent the Sui envoys. They stayed in the Central Plains to learn the cultural knowledge of the Han people. In the fifth year of Wude, they left the Tang Dynasty and returned to Japan. Through the news brought by Huiqi and Huiri, Su I, the Hokkien, knew that the institutional culture of the Tang Dynasty had been further improved compared to the Sui Dynasty. They happened to be at the top of the development of the bottle and were always wondering if they should send envoys to Tang to study again.

However, in recent years, there have been many things. The Queen of Tuigu is over 70 years old and her health is getting stranger. She has not yet decided to choose the next emperor, but he is determined to establish a puppet emperor, and he is willing to take charge of the national affairs. He has no intention of sending Tang envoys to do big moves and creates problems.

Today, when I learned that Baekje was going, my mind moved. At the earliest, Chinese characters, Buddhism, pottery making technology and other cultures were introduced to Japan through Baekje. It would be better to arrange a few people to get involved in Baekje's mission, and to obtain knowledge through Baekje, and to eliminate the Japanese labor force.
