In the first year of Zhenlong, under the instruction of Li Jing, Li Yi, the king of state affairs in the supervision army, officially wrote to the Chang'an Imperial Court, proposing that Youzhou Jicheng be officially promoted to the sixth capital of the Tang Dynasty, with Beijing as Xijing, the eastern capital as Tokyo, and the northern capital as Beijing. Fengxiang Mansion is Xijing, Chengdu is Nanjing, and Yanjing is Shangjing. Zhongjing Jingzhao Mansion, Tokyo Henan Mansion, Beijing Taiyuan Mansion, Nanjing Chengdu Mansion, Xijing Fengxiang Mansion, and changed Youzhou to Shuntian Mansion, a total of six prefectures and six capitals.

Shangjing Shuntianfu, set up a left-behind imperial court, with the superintendent of the country and the king of the country Li Yizhen to guard the state affairs of the superintendent of the army in Shangjing, and the important affairs of the military state of Pingzhang Qin King Li Jing as the Shangjing to stay in Beijing, Shuntianfu Yin. At the same time, three provinces and six ministries were set up in Shangjing, one should be set up in imitation of the Chang'an Imperial Court, Shangshu, Menxia, and Zhongshu three provinces, and there were three Taiwan, six departments, five temples and nine prisons, and the rules of the Ministry of Detention were only half a level lower than that of the Chang'an Central Imperial Court. Li Jing was appointed as the Shangshu Commander and Zhongshu Order, and served as the Imperial Historian of the Imperial Historical Observatory.

Three provinces, six departments, nine temples, five prisons and three stations were newly established, and they were merged with the Qin Domain. After the merger, there were always six provinces in Shangjing, in addition to the three core provinces of Shangshu, Menxia and Zhongshu, there were also three provinces of the secretary province, the palace province and the inner service province to assist, in charge of the palace and other affairs. In addition to the six departments under the Shangshu province, there are nine temples that supplement the functions of the six departments, and the Qin domain also has eighteen sub-departments such as finance, construction, and transportation, which are not directly under the six departments, but are new divisions independent of the six departments and twenty-four divisions.

The original supervision office, procuratorial office and other offices are still retained, and together with the original cabinet of the Qin Domain, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the General Staff Yuan, the scale of the central ministry of the entire Qin Domain has expanded a lot, and the division of functions has become clearer.

In general, it is still the pattern of the provincial cabinet and the government. The three provinces, the Cabinet, the General Staff Yuan, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces are the core.

The various ministries and offices in Beijing have been merged, reorganized, or newly established. The entire power structure of Yanjing has also been reshuffled again.

Li Jing also took this opportunity. Began to transfer the important officials of the center.

Cui Yunqing and Li Zhen of Shangshu Province were the two left and right servants, and Li Jing transferred them to Menxia and Zhongshu Provinces, and other officials of Shangshu Province were also transferred to the two newly established provinces, and then officials from local provinces and some Yanjing officials were transferred to form a new Shangshu Province. At the same time, the cabinet was also renewed, and the original cabinet scholars were transferred to the local government, and the new cabinet scholars were selected from various colleges and colleges to serve as highly respected scholars. Even the General Staff and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies were together with the Ministry of War. The three yas are reversed.

In a short period of time, Li Jing made a major adjustment to the upper echelons of the entire Qin Domain, and its purpose was naturally to prevent people from being in charge of the first government for a long time, especially the prime ministers of the political hall who participated in political affairs to control the first government for a long time, so that the power of the prime ministers was too great, so as to influence and restrain Li Jing's monarchy. Long ago, Li Jing set the term of office of each official position, which is not empty talk.

For example, the left and right servants of Shangshu Province are the prime minister and the deputy minister, and Li Jing has long stipulated. Five-year term with a maximum of two consecutive years. After the expiration. He had to be transferred to another position. According to Li Jing's system, in the future, the chief officials of various provinces, such as the left and right servants of Shangshu Province, the left and right servants of Menxia Province, and the left and right servants of Zhongshu Province must have the resume of serving as the governor of the local government before they can be selected. After a minimum of one term or two terms, the chiefs of the three provinces will either retire or have to be transferred to the central and other provinces according to the system. The second appointment in the three central provinces can only serve for one term and five years, and after the end of the year, either increase the rank of bachelor or taifu to become an adviser to the king of Qin and no longer take care of specific affairs, or transfer to the local provinces to serve as governors.

This is a strict rule, the chief official of the three provinces must first have the experience of the local governor, and then he must serve as the chief official of the Shangshu in the six ministries, and then he can become the chief official of the three provinces. After entering the three provinces, for the first time, he can be re-elected for two consecutive terms, up to a maximum of ten years. Then you have to transfer to the other two of the three provinces, or to a local province. For the second time, the chief officials of the three central provinces can only serve one term, and at the end of the term, they must resign, or be transferred to the local government, or add honorary titles to become advisers to the king of Qin, and no longer care about specific practice.

The same is true for other major central government positions, and cabinet members can only be elected from academies and academies who are over 50 years of moral integrity, and cannot be re-elected after serving a maximum of two terms.

The General Staff Yuan, the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, and the three offices of the Military Department, which are in charge of military power, have strictly stipulated that they cannot be re-elected, and at the end of the five-year term, the three offices must be transferred.

Although such a system will have some drawbacks, such as some virtuous ministers may be subject to the term of office, and cannot be renewed after the expiration of the term. However, Li Jing believes that shortening the term of office of officials still has more advantages than disadvantages. The circulation of the entire bureaucratic system will greatly increase the centralization of power by the central government and the monarchy, and prevent the danger of the emergence of power or the decline of the functions of various ministries. In the same way, this is also a way to strengthen the authority of the monarch and balance the great power of the ministers in the official setting of the Qin domain.

Under Li Jing's current authority, this new reform was soon enacted.

Cui Yunqing was transferred to the province of western Liaoning as the governor, retaining the title of prime minister of Tongping Zhangshi and the title of Taifu, but he was no longer a member of the political affairs hall, which means that he was no longer the real prime minister. Shangshu's right servant shot Li Zhen, and was transferred to the post of the left servant of Zhongshu Province, according to the new system, the six chief officials of the three provinces are directly the governor of the political affairs hall and the prime minister. Therefore, Li Zhen is still the real prime minister. However, from Shangshu Province to Menxia Province, he also left from the position of secondary minister, and the system stipulates that the prime minister is served by the left servant of Shangshu Province, and the second minister is served by the right servant of Shangshu Province.

The post of the new Shangshu Provincial Left Servant Shot, Li Jing nominated Zheng Congyan to hold it, and the post of second minister was held by Zheng Jin. The result of this visit surprised many people. Although Er Zheng is extremely famous in the world, they are after all Li Tang's ministers, and they have not been defecting to the Qin Domain for a short time. It was difficult for them not to be shocked that King Qin actually worshipped the two of them directly, and also served as the prime minister and deputy prime minister respectively, and was in charge of the core department of Shangshu Province. However, many people immediately thought that Zheng Congyan and Zheng Zheng were both appointed by Li Jing as the governor of the newly established province in Northeast China a few years ago, and now, this has just completed a year in office. From the institutional point of view, the two have the resume of the governor of the local province, which is completely in line with the fact that the chief officials of the three provinces must have the resume of the governor of the province first. And the two were transferred back to Yanjing from the Northeast last month, and they both served as Shangshu in each of the six ministries for a month. From a system point of view, there is not the slightest problem with their worship. But from the other side, it can be seen that this is what King Qin has planned a long time ago, and in order to let them pay homage to the prime minister, he has already begun to pave the way for them a year ago.

A new term of the Council was established, and this time a total of 13 ministers were appointed to participate in political affairs and worship as prime ministers. There are six chief officials in the three provinces, plus three Shangshu departments of the History Department, the Household Department, and the Military Department in the six ministries, as well as two each from the General Staff Council and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, a total of thirteen prime ministers. However, the cabinet in the core ministry stipulates in the new system that it is forbidden to worship the prime minister. The role of the Cabinet itself is to balance power, so the Cabinet is not allowed to enter the Council. However, the powers of the Cabinet have not been reduced in the slightest, and this time the Cabinet has been expanded from the original nine to 13 cabinet members.

The first assistant of the new cabinet is the famous scholar Sikong Tu, and the second assistant is Zheng Gu of the ten philosophers of Fanglin, a native of Jiangxi. All thirteen members of the Cabinet were conferred the title of Mandarin Court Fellows.

There are thirteen prime ministers in the government hall, and thirteen cabinet scholars in the Wenhua Court.

At the same time as this round of major adjustments to the center of the Qin Domain, Li Jing also carried out a round of major adjustments to the locality.

In April of the first year of Zhenlong, the northeast region had basically stabilized, and the Qin domain had gained full control. In the same month, Li Jing officially issued an order to confer the title of King Da Wei Ying of the Bohai Sea as the Duke of Shunguo on behalf of the imperial court, and the former Bohai region and other regions in Northeast China, from the sea in the east to the eastern end of the Mongolian Plateau outside the Great Khingan Mountains, where the Huangshui originates in the west, will be divided into provinces and counties, including Lake Baikal in the North Sea.

In the area outside the Yanshan Mountains, in addition to the four provinces of Liaodong, Liaoxi, Andong and Rehe, eight new provinces of Haidong, Liaoning, Jilin, Songjiang, Hejiang, Heishui, Nenjiang and Xing'an were newly established, and the entire area outside the Guanxi was divided into thirteen provinces. To the south of the Bohai Bay, to the east of the island of Kushuo, to the north of the Outer Xing'an Mountains, to the west of the Great Khing'an Mountains outside the Beihai, this vast area, all of which are the land of the thirteen provinces outside the customs of the Qin Domain.

In Guannai, there are five provinces of Beiping, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, and Huaihai, as well as eight nominally eight provinces that nominally respect Qin's domain, including Shannan Province of Qin Zongquan, Jiangbei Province of Yang Province, Jiangnan Province of Qian Biao, Dongchang's Zhedong Province, Zhang Rui's Fujian Province, Yu Gui's Lingdong Province, Yuqiu's Lingxi Province, and Yu Cong's Annan Province.

There were eighteen provinces under the actual control of the Qin Domain, and eight provinces of an allied nature. In addition, there are three giant islands in the sea, Ryukyu Island, Hainan Island, and Tamna Island, but the three islands have a large territory, but the population is too small for the time being, so only one state is set up for each.

There are more than 100 states in 18 provinces, with a population of more than 30 million.

On the newly printed map of the world, the red Qin domain area accounts for one-third of the traditional territory. And if the vast territory of the northeast newly opened up by the Qin Domain is counted, then the area actually controlled by the Qin Domain has even exceeded half of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the map, Li Jing couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

But just when Li Jing looked at the map and felt that it might be time to start the layout to the southeast coastal area, Dong Chang of his alliance Eight Towns was proclaimed emperor.

This is the news that surprised Li Jing, and it is also the news that makes Li Jing feel bad for an instant.

Soon, Li Jing received another letter from Qian Bi, which had been on the road for almost half a month before it was just delivered to Yanjing. The content of the letter made Li Jing's face a little gloomy, Qian Biao jumped out so eagerly to help Li Jing sweep away Dong Chang and restore his reputation, which made Li Jing keenly intuitively realize that Dong Chang's claim to the emperor was not simple.

According to the inference of who benefits the most and who is the most suspicious, Dong Chang is the emperor, and the biggest benefit is undoubtedly Qian Biao, so it is very likely that Qian Biao is also the biggest black hand behind this matter.

After pondering for a while, Li Jing immediately began to ask Zhao Jiang to convey that the members of the new political hall and the new cabinet members would go to the Qinzheng Hall to discuss the matter, and also summoned the senior officials and generals of the Supervision Department and the military in Beijing to attend the meeting as observers.
