039 Great Song Palace
Today is the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, originally there was nothing to do with the horse on this occasion, and now the emperor named the horse and the princess to enter the palace to meet him, except for Hong Tao himself, everyone else was confused and dazed, and he didn't know what it was for.
Even Fu Ji, who has always been steady, is not too calm, and always patrols left and right uneasily along the way, trying to see some eyebrows from the expressions of those forbidden soldiers.
"Don't be foolish, it is said that this should be your territory, without it, and then show the officials the way. To tell you the truth, since the horse's hooves were kicked, I have forgotten everything I remembered, and I especially want to go into the palace to have a look. ”
Hong Tao knew what Fu Ji was thinking, but he couldn't tell her the truth, so he could only use distraction methods, and by the way, learn more about what it was like in the palace of the Great Song Dynasty.
The team entered the imperial city from the Xihua Gate, and Fu Ji started from the Xihua Gate. There is a north-south dividing line in the whole imperial city, which is the east-west horizontal street between Xihua Gate and Donghua Gate.
The south of this street is called the Outer Dynasty, and the north is called the Inner Dynasty. The outer dynasty is centered on the Daqing Palace, which is mainly used for activities such as court meetings, political affairs, and amnesty.
On the west side of the Daqing Hall is the Wende Palace, here is the court hall, and the upper court is usually said to be here. Not everyone can go to court casually, they need positions and ranks, a bit like the regular meetings of the top executives of large companies in later generations, how can they be qualified to participate in the real power cadres above the middle level.
And the scene where hundreds of civil and military officials gather together is called the Great Dynasty Meeting, which will be held in the Daqing Palace, and its function is not to discuss politics, but more like a ceremony or ceremony.
Further west of the Wende Hall is the office of the central government agency of the Great Song Dynasty, where the senior leaders of Menxia Province, Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province, and the Privy Council all worked.
The east wing outside the Wende Hall is built into a long collapse, and the east felt summer seat is called the hundred official curtain times, and it is the place where the prime minister issues a decree. The reason why it is called the outer dynasty is from this. Strictly speaking, it is not all the emperor's inner court, a bit like the Zhongnanhai of later generations.
The inner dynasty is the place where the emperor works and lives, and the Zichen Hall is separated by the horizontal street behind the Daqing Palace, and the emperor rested here before going to court. The west side of the Zichen Hall is connected to the vertical arch hall through a small door, which is the place where the emperor receives the courtiers and asks the right questions.
At the end of each day, the officials below the privy envoy must listen to the announcement outside the vertical arch hall, and if the emperor has any problems, he will call whoever to go in and explain.
In the corridor on both sides of the courtyard, there are specially equipped with two mansions, the prince, the three divisions, the Kaifeng mansion, the waiting area for the bachelor to be systematic, and the official position of the assassin history, there is a soft collapse in winter, there are bamboo mats in summer, the wind does not blow the sun, and the officials of the Ming and Qing dynasties are much happier.
Further west of the vertical arch hall is the Imperial Hall and the Jiying Hall, which is the place where the envoys of Fanbang are received to hold the welcome ceremony. After the Song people entered the high school, they would also be personally received by the emperor here. There is also a shengping building behind the imperial palace, if the emperor wants to invite whoever will put a banquet in the building, it is regarded as the royal banquet hall.
There are three small libraries on the north side of Jiying Palace, which are called Longtu Pavilion, Tianzhang Pavilion and Baowen Pavilion respectively, which collect the anthologies of Taizong, Zhenzong and Renzong. At this point, Hong Tao realized that the titles of Longtuge University Scholar, Tianzhang Pavilion University Scholar, and Baowen Pavilion University Scholar all came from here.
Jiying Hall is called Yanfu Palace to the west, just listening to the name Hong Tao thought it was the residence of the queen mother, in fact, it was very different. This is the royal storehouse, and there are five of them. Further north is the Guangsheng Palace, which contains the statues of Taoist gods and Zhenzong, and is the place where the emperor prays.
To the north of the Zichen Hall is the Chongzheng Palace, which is the emperor's private office. There are two pavilions of Yanyi and Erying on the east and west sides of the palace, and the emperor has to listen to all kinds of lectures of masters here every day. There is a Yanhe Hall behind the palace, and unlike all other palaces, this house is facing north, called the Inverted Seat Hall.
Hong Tao guessed several times and didn't guess what this house was for, and then Fu Ji gave the answer with a pouting smile that this was the emperor's royal bathroom......
To say that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is also quite individual, the entire royal treasury is actually face to face with the royal bathroom. It's called Gyeongbok Palace, and there must be a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in it, but it's a pity that Hong Tao can't go in this life and the next life.
The north of Guangsheng Palace and Gyeongbokgun Hall is the real harem, the queen and the concubines live here, there is also an imperial garden in the harem, it is said that there are pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, there are many strange flowers and plants, Emperor Zhenzong also tried to plant Champa rice here.
If you can sketch a topographic map in your mind while listening to the explanation, you will find that the outer and inner dynasties are not symmetrically arranged according to the central axis of the imperial city, but are basically concentrated on the central axis of the imperial city and the west side of the central axis, and nearly one-third of the imperial city on the east side of the central axis is vacant, so what are these places for?
Actually, this question is easier for Fu Ji, because her original workplace is in this third. These places are occupied by those institutions that serve the royal family, collectively known as the Inner Division, which is composed of the Imperial Palace, the Inner Servant Province, the Xuanhui Academy, the Imperial City Division, the Hanlin Imperial Academy, the Inner Incense Medicine Warehouse, the Left and Right Storage, and the Zhubanzhi.
Dianzhong Province is the governing body of Fu Ji's six monks, enshrined in the decrees of the Son of Heaven's clothing, food, housing, transportation, medicine, etc., and has six bureaus under its jurisdiction: Shang Shi Bureau, Shang Yao Bureau, Shang Yu Bureau, Shang Yi Bureau, Shang She Bureau, and Shang Yuan Bureau.
The Inner Chamberlain Province was the administration of the eunuchs, and the number of eunuchs each emperor had was different, sometimes more than a hundred, and sometimes only forty or fifty.
The specific number is not decided by the emperor alone, and several prime ministers and deputy prime ministers also have the right to interfere. If they felt that the royal consumption was a bit high, they would force the emperor to lay off the staff in the palace.
It can be seen that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is almost the same as the British royal family in some aspects, and the imperial power has been further compressed, although it is not only a little symbolic meaning, but compared with the later dynasties, it is really miserable and miserable.
However, the more miserable the emperor, the better it is for the country and the people, and the big and small things are completely decided by one person, and there are pros and cons, and in the long run, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. This can be proved from the enterprise management model of later generations, in order to develop and grow, it is necessary to perform its own duties.
The paternalistic style of the enterprise is very energetic at the initial stage, but once the scale is expanded, the business volume will increase, and the problem will be a big problem, and there are not many opportunities for self-adjustment, because this management model has no self-healing ability.
No matter how powerful a person's mind is, his energy is limited, and it is impossible to cover everything, and it is impossible not to be affected by emotions. Doing ten things right is not as harmful to the enterprise as doing one thing wrong, and who dares to guarantee that it will always be right in life. Decentralization of power and constrained decision-making can effectively reduce the probability of doing something wrong, and the kind of policy of patting the head will basically not appear.
How to transform from family management to modern enterprise is a big issue for business leaders, and it is a great test of wisdom. If the transformation is successful, the enterprise will have the possibility of continuing to develop and improve, and if the transformation is not successful, the bigger it will do, the faster it will die.
The general consul of the Xuanhui Academy, the three classes in front of the palace and the names of the internal attendants, relocation, vacation, and impeachment, and the leadership of the suburbs, court meetings, banquets, accounts and other trivial matters.
The Imperial City Division, this institution is more scary, it is in charge of the opening and closing of the palace gate and the emperor's eyes and ears of the investigation agency, in charge of the ban on entering and leaving the palace city, is it very similar to the Ming Dynasty's Jinyi Guard.
In fact, it is far less powerful, because there are checks and balances on the rights of Shangshu, Zhongshu, Menxia Province, and Yushitai, the emperor does not have so much power to use secret agencies to supervise hundreds of officials.
Therefore, the Imperial City Division can only monitor the internal affairs of the imperial family, such as the likes of the horses, and the officials of the imperial court dare not make any substantive moves, once the imperial history catches the handle, the emperor will not be able to keep their heads.
The Hanlin Imperial Academy is responsible for the emperor's handwriting, enshrines the genus of writing, the book of pictures and the art of piano and chess, and is basically the emperor's scholar's institution.
The inner incense medicine warehouse and the left and right storage warehouses are easier to understand, one is for the storage of spices, and the other is the central treasury. However, this treasury belonged to the imperial court and was only placed in the imperial city, but it was not at the discretion of the emperor.
Zhu Banzhi, this institution Fu Ji is relatively unfamiliar, it does not belong to the internal divisions, but is commanded by the palace front division, it is regarded as the forbidden army in the forbidden army, and about 1,000 people are stationed in the imperial city, responsible for the imperial city and the emperor's travel security work.
