Zhao Ziliang finally showed mercy to his subordinates, Zhang Yi and Wei Yuanfu were also secretly relieved, not only saved their lives, but also retained their qualifications to be officials, which is already a great luck, the two of them were happy in their hearts, as for what officials to study in the academy, just go to study, the two got up and stood aside after thanking them.

Zhao Ziliang looked at Quhuan: "Quhuan!" ”

"The minister is here!" Qu Huan hurriedly stood up and hugged his fists in agreement.

Zhao Ziliang is more serious about Quhuan, Quhuan is not a pure martial artist, he likes to read, but he does not have the weakness of a scribe, he is a Confucian general. Quhuan has a lot of experience as a general, he spent most of his time in the area of Longyou Shanzhou, first as a captain under Ge Shuhan, participated in the battle of storming Shibao City, was promoted to general because of merit, and turned to fight in the north, south, east and west during the Anshi Rebellion, and fought in the past ten years.

"In view of your outstanding performance and merits during the Anshi Rebellion, the pacification of Li Lingyao's rebellion, and the three towns of Heshuo, this king has asked the emperor to canonize you as the Duke of Chen Guogong and seal 300 households; Promoted to special advancement and served as the general of the Jingdong garrison! After taking office, he entered the Officials' Training College every afternoon, and graduated after passing the examination in March."

Quhuan immediately agreed: "King Xie!" ”

Jingdong garrison general is a new position after the reform of the imperial military system, Zhao Ziliang divided the Tang Dynasty into a number of military regions throughout the country, stationed in the standing army, each military region set up a general, three products, one supervising the army, from the third product, four generals, four products, and a number of lieutenant generals, Lang generals. In the Guanzhong area, there are two military regions, namely Jingdong and Jingxi.

The purpose of dividing the military region to station a standing army is as follows: First, to disperse the guards of Chang'an, there are too many soldiers and horses stationed around the capital, and there is a great demand for grain and grass, which has brought huge pressure on the demand for grain and grass in the Jingzhao area, and the concentration of soldiers and horses is too easy to cause friction, and at the same time, it has also caused an unfavorable situation in which there are too many soldiers and horses in the Beijing division, and the troops in other places are weak. Once something happens, it takes too long to mobilize troops and horses.

Second, it is necessary to put an end to the deformed deployment of troops that used to be heavily stationed in the border areas and had empty internal troops.

Third, after ending the situation of separating feudal towns, we should collect soldiers and horses from all over the country, reorganize and train them, eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled, leave behind elite soldiers and strong generals, and place these soldiers and horses.

After the division of military regions and the stationing of standing armies, it will be convenient to mobilize, and at the same time, the deployment of garrison troops throughout the country will become uniform, which will facilitate the raising of grain, grass, armaments, and baggage.

The situation on the front line to counter-insurgency is very good, and Zhao Ziliang is always paying attention to it, but he is considering the issue of setting up regional administrative officials. In the Tang Dynasty, there were also administrative institutions at the level of "Dao" above the state-level administrative level, such as Longyou Dao, Hexi Dao, Hedong Dao, Henan Dao and so on.

In the past, the imperial court set up ten major jiedu envoys in the ten provinces of the border area, and the jiedu envoys had both military and administrative powers, but there were no jiedu envoys in each province in the hinterland, and it was only after the Anshi Rebellion that they began to set up jiedu envoys in the inland hinterland.

However, the large number of Jiedu envoys set up caused the localities to begin to disobey the orders of the imperial court, which is also the root of the division of feudal towns, and now Zhao Ziliang cut the feudal domain, and successively abolished the Jiedu envoys in various places, but in order to strengthen the control of the imperial court over these areas, Zhao Ziliang believed that it was necessary to set up the "Dao" level of the administrative chief at the state level, the state was equivalent to the regional city in later generations, and the Dao was equivalent to the provincial level in later generations. However, some provinces have a large territory, while others have a smaller territory, and Zhao Ziliang divided the large provinces into two, for example, Jiannan Province is divided into Jiannan East Road and Jiannan West Road, Lingnan Province is divided into Lingnan East Road and Lingnan West Road, Jiangnan East Road is divided into Zhejiang Province and Jiangsu Province, and Jiangnan West Road is divided into Hunan Province, Hubei Province and Jiangxi Province.

At the court meeting on the first day of the second month of the fourth year of the Great Calendar, Zhao Ziliang put forward his own ideas to the courtiers and let the courtiers start a discussion, he knew that a new system must solicit a wide range of opinions and in-depth discussions, and some things became more and more clear the more they were discussed, perhaps there were many errors and loopholes that were not found at the beginning, but after extensive and in-depth discussions, the problems appeared.

After more than a month of continuous discussions, the specific plan for the establishment of the provincial government yamen has basically taken shape, and Zhao Ziliang also made a decision at the court meeting on 15 March, and issued an edict to first determine the location of the administrative office of the political envoy in each province, and the local government should first set up the political envoy's office, if there is a ready-made mansion, it is naturally the best, if it cannot be found, the imperial court will allocate money to build it, and at the same time, Zhao Ziliang issued an edict stipulating that the scale of the political envoy's office, prefecture, and county yamen cannot be exceeded. As for the candidates for the political envoys of various provinces, Zhao Ziliang is still under consideration.

For a while, many officials of the imperial court began to be moved, you must know that if you can serve in the local area and make political achievements, you can be promoted very quickly, and it is not so easy to be promoted and promoted in the imperial court.

According to Zhao Ziliang's regulations on the rank of political envoys, the left political envoy is the third grade, the right political envoy is the third grade, and the right political envoy is the deputy of the left political envoy, who is in charge of some affairs alone and assists the left political envoy in handling a government affairs, but there must be only two political envoys in charge of government affairs, there must also be officials in charge of justice and supervision, and at the same time, there must also be a military chief officer who has jurisdiction over the local garrison. In addition, a local garrison was set up under the command of the commander, of which the envoy was subordinate to the third rank, and the commander was the fourth rank.

The court officialdom in Chang'an City began to be active, and many officials of the imperial court began to run away, hoping to be sent out to be a political envoy, even if they couldn't be a political envoy, they could also be an envoy. The generals also have a relationship to run the door, and although the commanders are only some local miscellaneous soldiers, the grade is not low, and it is the fourth grade, which is the same as the grade of a high-class state.

According to Zhao Ziliang's division, the entire Tang Dynasty is divided into 27 provinces, each of which has to appoint two political envoys on the left and right, one according to the inspection envoy and one commander envoy, adding up to nearly 100 people, and it is extremely laborious to select nearly 100 feudal officials from the various yamen and local governments of the imperial court.

Zhao Ziliang spent some things to determine the twenty-seven political envoys of Zuobu, and the remaining provincial-level officials and generals were handed over to the officials and staff of the regent palace for selection, and he first set several selection principles, so that the officials and staff members followed these principles to obtain the resumes and files of the officials of the imperial court and the local government offices, and sent people to investigate the origins, conduct, talents, and political achievements of these people.

On 20 March, Zheng San, Du Fu, Li Mi, Li Muchen, Yan Zhenqing, Li Kui, and Li Xian came to see Zhao Ziliang and submit the first list of appointments.

Zhao Ziliang took over the appointment plan, and when he saw that the four of them were all haggard, he couldn't help asking, "I'm afraid your life is not easy these days, right?" ”

Du Fu arched his hand and said with a wry smile: "King, don't mention it, in the past month, officials and generals have been knocking on the door of Weichen every day, and the minister is really unbearable!" Later, he simply blocked all the people who came to see him, and he didn't see a single one! ”

Zheng San said: "Lord Du, you and Brother Mu Chen both live near the palace, and those officials who are looking for you to run away don't dare to be too presumptuous, for fear of being impeached by the Yushitai when they find out. I live outside the city, and every day in the middle of the night people visit, most of them military attachés, and they have a lot of strength, and my doors are about to be knocked down, and the thresholds are kicked down! ”

Li Mi said: "Weichen has long known that there will be people who will run for officials, so at first none of them were seen, and after half a month, everyone in Chang'an knew about it, and those who ran for officials did not come!" ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled, opened the appointment plan and looked at it, and after reading the first page, he picked up the brush and drew a few circles on it, and then continued to look down and drew a few circles with the brush.

After reading it, Zhao Ziliang said: "This king thinks that some candidates for the position are not suitable, you can take it back and discuss it!" ”

Everyone stood up and said, "Yes, my lord! ”

"There is another thing, this time in the Dao level to set up the official yamen, there are many official positions, in addition to the left and right political envoys, according to the inspection envoy and the commander of the envoy, there are other official positions with slightly lower official positions, there must be many people are eyeing these positions, and they are also trying to find ways to obtain, you just said that some people continue to run for officials in order to obtain official positions, send money and goods, this king hopes that you can keep the bottom line, adhere to the principles, do not be corrupted and bought by those people, for those who come to run for official positions, you all write it down for this king, The more he wants to be an official, the more he can't give it! ”

"Wait for you to understand!"

Ten days later, the third appointment plan was placed on Zhao Ziliang's desk, the first two appointment plans were rejected by him, this time he was more satisfied, signed and stamped the seal and then released, the courtiers had been looking forward to it, this appointment was copied into many copies and posted in various yamen of the imperial court, and many local officials were also on the list, and the yamen of the imperial court officials specially sent people to send the official documents for transfer.

After the implementation of the appointment plan began, the officials who had received the appointments left for various provinces, while officials in other places also received the appointment documents and prepared to take up their posts. Zhao Ziliang also issued an edict stipulating that the original regulations on the evaluation of officials' political performance should remain unchanged, and that the performance of officials of the third rank and above would be personally assessed by him, the regent, and that the officials of the fourth rank and below the fourth rank would be assessed by the Ministry of Officials, and that the term of office of officials should be four years, and they could only be re-elected once in one position at most, that is, eight years. If you make a mistake or the assessment does not meet the standards, you can be demoted or dismissed at any time.
