Li Zhen carefully read this reform excerpt, pondered for a long time, and said: "King of the county, there is a problem under the office. ”

Li Jing, who was sitting upright, bowed slightly, turned his gaze to Li Zhen, and said with a smile: "The right servant shoots, please speak." ”

Li Zhen's eyes met with Li Jing, and asked: "According to this excerpt, the rights of local states and provinces will be reduced, and power will be centralized in Daxingtai." It's just that in addition to the left and right servants of Daxingtai and the six Shangshu, there are also the Governor's Office and the Staff House of the Five Armies, and then the Supervision Department. In addition, what are the Judicial Office and the Public Prosecutor's Office? ”

"The right servant is good at shooting." Li Jing said with a smile: "The Supervision Department has been established and put into operation, and I believe everyone is clear about its functions and roles. The functions of the newly established Judicial Office and the Public Prosecutor's Office are also very important. There is a criminal department in Daxingtai, which is equivalent to the criminal department, but it does not belong to the jurisdiction of the criminal department, and its functions are equivalent to the Dali Temple in the imperial court, managing the judiciary in the 30 states of the five provinces under the jurisdiction of Daxingtai, and setting up courts in each state and each county to deal with judicial litigation disputes. and managed state and county jails as well as labor camps. The Supervision Department, which is equivalent to the Imperial Historical Observatory set up by the imperial court, is responsible for picketing, impeaching officials, and enforcing discipline. At the same time, the Supervisory Office is also responsible for the investigation of corruption cases and the prosecution of public prosecution cases with the Department of Justice. ”

After thinking about it, Li Zhenluo already understood the functions of the three departments, the Supervision Department, the Justice Department, and the Procuratorate Department. The Supervision Department is an intelligence and secret service agency directly under the county king, and the Department of Justice is equivalent to most of the functions of the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and the judicial power in the prefecture and county, the right to adjudicate cases, and detain prisoners are transferred to the Department of Justice, and the judicial section, judicial department, and judicial bureau of the judicial department are respectively subordinate to the county lieutenant, the prefecture's procurator, and the provincial governor.

And this supervision office, that is, the function of the Imperial Historical Observatory. Rumors. Picketing and impeachment of officials. Discipline. However, it has greater powers than the Imperial Historical Observatory, and also has the power to investigate corruption cases and prosecute criminal cases.

The setting of these institutions has increasingly shown that the county king of his own family has become more and more unscrupulous about the court. began to really form his own small court. This change made Li Zhen unable to say what he felt in his heart, but he was faintly excited.

However, with this change, the right to write the book of the military department was divided into the Governor's Office and the General Staff of the Five Armies. The division of the powers of the Criminal Department to the Department of Justice is a change worth considering.

Jingxiang, the secretary of the military department, is now a little panicked, he was originally the marshal of a town, and he was promoted to the head of the six departments. But in the blink of an eye, the military department has become a Qingshui Yamen who is only in charge of administration and logistics, and it is the tail of the six departments. He was not worried about the restructuring of the military department, what he was worried about was whether Li Jing suddenly changed like this, whether he didn't trust him or something, after all, Jing Xiang had not been under Li Jing's command for a long time. It's always a lot worse than the rest of the hierarchy.

Li Jing sat on the top and saw that Jing Xiang had been hanging his head and his mood was not high. Know what is on his mind.

He immediately said: "In the newly established General Staff Academy, this king plans to transfer Jing Xiang to the staff envoy of the General Staff Academy, and Wang Pu will be promoted to the post of the former secretary of the Military Department. The five governors of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were Lin Wu as the Governor of the Left Army, Zhao Li as the Governor of the Right Army, Wang Zhong as the Governor of the Former Army, Zeng Yuanyu as the Governor of the Later Army, and Lin Wei as the Governor of the Central Army. ”

Originally, Li Jing planned to set up two governors in each of the five armies, but after thinking about it, there were not so many suitable generals for a while, so he only set up one for each for the time being.

No one objected to this proposal, and Jing Xiang saw that Li Jing had reduced the power of the military department, and immediately put him in the General Staff Office as a staff envoy for the transfer of troops, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and looked up at Li Jing violently, his heart was full of excitement. After all, the marshal still trusts him, and this can be described as the first position in the military.

Li Jing's choice to reform at this time was also considered for a long time. Daxingtai had just been established, and the original Six Towns Jiedu envoy was transferred to Daxingtai, which was considered a promotion, so no one objected. At this time, the position of the sixth section marshal is vacant, and no one is in office, and at this time, the abolition of this important position will be abolished, and the opposition will be very small. After all, the original marshal has been promoted, and the military generals who are qualified to serve cannot be used as military attachés according to the original regulations, and in terms of civilian officials, firstly, there are few people with high qualifications, and secondly, no one has sat in that position anyway.

In this way, after the abolition of the most important knots, the next reform will be much smoother.

The Governor's Office and the General Staff of the Five Armies, as well as the important posts in the three departments and six provinces, suddenly increased a lot, and several civil and military officers who were originally qualified for the position of marshal could be promoted, and everyone would naturally be satisfied.

Subsequently, Li Jing proposed that Gongsun Lan should serve as the supervisor of the Supervision Office, Li Meng as the judicial commissioner, and Li Wei as the prosecutor. The chief officer of the three halls is unified as the fourth product.

Cui Yunqing was slightly opposed to Li Jing's appointment of a woman as an official and an important institution like the Supervision Department, but after Li Jing put forward the reason why Gongsun Lan had always been in charge of the affairs of the original Xiao Cavalry Division, no one insisted on it. After all, in the eyes of everyone, this supervision office is completely a private intelligence agency of Li Jing, and it is normal for him to appoint a person close to him.

After the appointment and dismissal of these positions, what is really important is the appointment and dismissal of officials in the Five Elements Province. However, after the restructuring, although the provincial territory is larger than the Jiedu Empire, it has no rights. However, although military generals and civil officials are restricted, this is also a provincial place, which is still very important.

Li Jing proposed that the Daxing Taizhi Office be located in Liaodong City, and Liaodong City was also renamed Liaoyang. Li Jing concurrently served as the governor of Liaodong Province, with Fu Wentong as the governor and Zhou Dewei as the governor.

In the remaining four provinces, Li Jing appointed Xiao Dingbang, Han Anguo, Song Wen, and Han Zhong as governors of the four provinces of Dongdong, Beiping, Liaoxi, and Andong respectively. The governors of the four provinces promoted the original four sages, Sikong Tu and Luo Yin. The four governors are Song Xi, Liu Jian, Xu Cheng, and Cui Decheng.

In the appointment of the governors of the five provinces, Li Jing did not use henchmen such as Liu Shouqian and Zhang Chengzong, in fact, it was also because the governors of the provinces really had no rights.

After deciding on the candidates for the chief officers of the five provinces, the three departments, the General Staff Council, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, Li Jing came up with the most reluctant plan.

Li Jing's last plan was to establish a cabinet based on the Wenhua Palace, in addition to the power center of Daxingtai Shangshu Province.

For generations, the emperor had to divide the power of prime minister. Eunuchs are often used to contain power. But the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty were powerful. The scourge is deep. But it made Li Jing unable to continue this way. Now Li Jing's Daxingtai, the power of the prefecture and province has weakened, and the power is concentrated in Daxingtai. The left and right servants are equivalent to the prime minister, and the power is huge. The rights of the six ministries are also enormous.

Although Li Jing established the General Staff to divide the military powers, other powers were still enormous. Unfettered rights are uncontrollable.

Therefore, Li Jing thought about it, since he was unwilling to use eunuchs to contain the power. Then the cabinet system was adopted at the end of the year.

Different from the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty, Li Jing's plan was still to adhere to the prime minister system of the Tang and Song dynasties, and to use the left servant as the prime minister, the right servant as the secondary minister, and the six Shangshu as the deputy minister. In addition, the scholars of the Wenhua Palace were elected as cabinet scholars to play the role of the Ming Dynasty celebrants and eunuchs.

The core of this system is that Xingshangshu Province has the right to draft votes, and Li Jing has the right to approve the red, and Li Jing cannot decide all matters by himself, so most of these red rights will be handed over to the cabinet to write according to Li Jing's wishes.

And so it goes. The last six ministries have administrative power, while the left and right servants and the six Shangshu have the power of the council. But the real decision-making power is in the hands of Li Jing and the cabinet.

The rank of the cabinet scholar is lower than that of the six scholars, and he is not allowed to concurrently hold the provincial positions of the six scholars, the left and right servants, and the left and right ministers. The left and right servants, the left and right servants, and the six Shangshu of Shangshu Province are also not allowed to concurrently serve as scholars.

In this way, Shangshu Province is the outer court, and the cabinet is the inner court, one inside and one outside the other, but it is strictly forbidden for eunuchs and harems to interfere in politics.

In this way, the inner court and the outer court can check each other, so as to ensure Li Jing's decision-making position.

If you want to compete for the world, Li Jing believes that these institutional things must be established early. The sooner you start, the fewer obstacles there will be, and the fewer internal risks you will have in the future.

Although this system of the inner court and the outer court will inevitably lead to internal and external disputes, since ancient times, the power of the prime minister has been weakening, while the power of the monarch has been rising, and this kind of dispute cannot be changed. Moreover, Li Jing always believes that the internal and external courts with mutual checks and balances are always better than one family being dominant, resulting in the situation of power and ministers.

Everyone in the hall is now the core personnel of Li Jing's small court, and by this time, they have fully understood the purpose of Li Jing's restructuring.

Decentralization and balance!

There is a separation of powers in the localities of civil affairs, justice, and the military, and there is also a separation of powers in the armed forces to command troops, the power to transfer troops, and the power to hold troops.

I have to say that although this county king is old, he plays beautifully with this hand, and the decentralization of power everywhere actually means that the county king centralizes power everywhere.

Financial power is concentrated in Daxingtai, military power is concentrated in Daxingtai, and administrative power is also concentrated in Daxingtai.

Under Li Jing, the originally powerful positions of the left and right servants and the six ministries had only parliamentary power and administrative power in the blink of an eye.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside!

This has always been Li Jing's governing philosophy, if he can't make the interior stronger. Then I only know that the blind rush and attack of the road is just a flash in the pan.

For example, when the Cypriot tribes invaded the Central Plains, how many tribes fought militarily and established political power, but at most they could not last for a hundred years, or even for 50 years.

There were more warlords in the five dynasties of the late Tang Dynasty, and there were five generations that established central power, but none of them lasted more than 50 years.

The reason for this is that Li Jing believes that they do not have a whole solid system at all.

For example, Li Keyong, the Hedong army was brave and unparalleled, and there were few enemies in the east and west, but Li Ke attacked from all sides and defeated one opponent after another, but in fact, the strategic situation was getting worse and worse, and he was even killed by Zhu Wen under the city of Taiyuan.

Zhu Wen I was a hero, and he replaced Tang Jianliang with the place of the four battles of Xuanwu, but as soon as he died, Houliang became yesterday's yellow flower. Even the last emperor Zhu Youzhen completely relied on Yang Shihou of the Tianxiong Army to live. The situation of the big and small warlords of the five generations is basically the same, and there are still various small warlords under the big warlords, and they are chaotic.

The usurper mutiny is the same as a home-cooked meal.

Compared with rushing to attack the city and seize the land, in fact, Li Jing is more willing to go inside first and then outside.

As long as the internal stability is stable, there will be no fear, even if it is a temporary defeat, it will never be scattered in a hurry.

Everyone listened to Li Jing's detailed explanation of the details of the tanning problem, that is, Cui Yunqing, Li Zhen, Jing Xiang, Gai Yu and others, and they all understood that this new system was bound to be implemented.

At this time, everyone was thinking more about who would be in this cabinet?

After all, entangled in the meaningless thing of restructuring, everyone is more concerned about the changes brought about later.

The left and right servants of the Daxingtai will be equivalent to the prime minister and the second minister, and there will also be the first assistant and the second assistant in this cabinet.

The inner court, the outer court, the next will be really lively!

At this time, on the contrary, the officials of the military general system were already calm.

The six chief officers of the General Staff and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies have been drawn up, and the Governors of the Five Provinces have also been drawn up.

Although according to the new system, generals above the battalion level in the future will not directly command the troops in non-wartime, and only in wartime will they be appointed by Shang Shuling to go to war, and they will be transferred in rotation every three years. But now that it is a time of war, the army commanders can still directly lead their subordinates, and the only change is that they will have to change positions in the next three years, and the military orders in the future will be subject to the General Staff rather than the Military Department.

However, in any case, the king of the county just added that the two positions of staff envoy of the staff of the General Staff and the governor of the Chinese army, like the six Shangshu, will be added to the rank of political participation, and will become a member of the prime minister equivalent to the imperial court Tongping Zhangshi.

The corners of the mouths of Jing Xiang and Lin Wei in the hall couldn't help but show a smile.

Being able to increase the rank of political participation and become a member of the parliamentary power made the two veterans of Wen Yiwu feel a lot more excited.

In this world, even a stable person like Lin Wei can't really treat power like dung!

The discussion finally ended, and the group of civil and military officers exited the lobby and left.

Li Jing leaned back on the chair a little tiredly, and Gongsun Lan appeared in palace clothes and handed it over with a cup of hot tea.

"San Lang's restructuring this time has touched a lot, but if it can be implemented, it will be very good." Gongsun Lan had already known in advance that Li Jing would appoint her as the Zhongcheng of the Supervision Department, although it was said that the Zhongcheng of the Supervision Department was a position that could not really govern the nine divisions below, but she was still very happy to be able to go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and become the fourth rank. In this life, she may not have the opportunity to marry Li Jing, but she is still very happy to follow him like this.

Li Jing took a sip of tea lightly and said with a smile: "There is no way to reform the system. Today's festival system can never be implemented, it is better to sooner or later, one day, the soldiers will be arrogant and will rebel. ”

"Can't Saburo trust the generals below?" Gongsun Lan asked with some surprise.

Li Jing shook his head, "It's not a question of believing it or not, but when you put the power in their hands, but you don't have enough checks and balances, this power will be corrupted sooner or later." This is the inevitability of human nature, just like a child who walks through the market with a lot of money, and will eventually attract people to prying eyes. What we need to do is to put an end to this possibility and prevent it from the beginning. (To be continued......)
