Speaking of this, Li Fenghuang's own face was not very good-looking, she sighed lightly, and said: "You and my father have also met, what kind of person do you think he is?" ”

Being reminded by Li Phoenix like this, Zhou Zheng remembered the hysterical old handsome guy on Chinese New Year's Eve. Thinking of this, he was also embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and said more tactfully: "Ling Zun is inevitably a little wild and uninhibited, and his thinking is ......."

"Heh, Gongzi Zhou has saved face for me." Li Fenghuang smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "My father is not good at business, but he likes to make friends with wine and meat the most. Yesterday evening, he went out for another drink, and when he came back, he was full of gibberish. After listening to two sentences, I realized that there was a person who was familiar with Commander Ma at the previous drinking party. According to what the man said, this time the matter of Jinshui Town reached the heavens, and His Majesty was furious. On the other hand, the reward for the 'hero' of the horse commander is naturally from the best. The court specially sent the popular eunuch Ma Hongjun Ma Gonggong to announce the decree to Commander Ma, which shows his great grace. ”

"The garrison commander of the state capital is far less noble than the civil officials, and he has already touched the ceiling from the sixth grade. If he's overtaken this time, he's going to jump to the Overseer's Palace. When the time comes, I will be in the south of the Yangtze River, he is in the north of the Yangtze River, what does he want to do, and what does it have to do with me? ”

"Seeing that you are right, why don't you count the days well? The quadrennial examination for civil and military officials is at the end of autumn this year. No one in the Overseer's Mansion made a mistake, how could a turnip and a pit force the horse commander to be stuffed over? This time the angel came, and he must have given Ma the rank of commander first. Wait until the end of autumn, give him another excellent assessment, and logically promote him in the tide of official transfers. ”

Speaking of which, I have to pause for a moment to introduce the official system of the Davidic Dynasty.

Let's start with the local administrative system of the David Dynasty, the most basic, from small to large, are four levels of villages, towns and counties. Among them, there is almost no administrative system at the three levels of villages, townships and towns, and it is completely under the direct jurisdiction of the county at the next higher level. As for some trivial things that can't be done with officials, that is the matter of Lizheng Baojia and the old clan of the village. In terms of public security, it is maintained by the spontaneous organization of township courage in various localities, and in short, there is no major incident without officials.

And at the county level, there is finally the chief official of the stream, which is the so-called "Baili Hou", the scientific name of Qipin Zhi County. The magistrate is the supreme county and is in charge of all administrative and judicial practices in the entire county.

If a county is large enough, such as Shiqiao County in Pingjiang Prefecture, which occupies almost half of the area and population of Pingjiang Prefecture, then the county will naturally have soldiers to defend it. This part of the military power is also under the direct control of the county. There is no second person who enjoys the same status as the magistrate in legal theory. What county, the main book, and what the classic history are all just the second officials of the county, and they do not enter the stream.

After the county order, go up and go up, and it will be the state capital. The governor of the prefecture is called the governor, and the governor of the prefecture is called the prefect, and the two actually mean the same thing. The prefect's official residence is five products, and he is a big man.

Ordinary people can only see the magistrate. It is very likely that the prefect has worked for four years, and after returning to the exam, he has been transferred to a different place, and the people don't know that he has been here when he leaves!

But this does not prevent the prefect from being a big man, and he can pinch and rub the parents and officials who are high in the eyes of the people, that is, the county magistrate, as he likes.

Like the prefect of the county, the prefect also enjoys the highest power and status of the entire state capital in legal theory. And like his second officer, he is not as bad as the second official of the county. The prefect's assistant officer, including the same knowledge, the general judgment and the garrison commander, all three of them are positive six products.

Recently, the horse commander who is being a demon is the commander of the garrison, the military attache of the six products, and is under the direct jurisdiction of the prefect. The army he was in charge of, about a thousand people, were all compulsory soldiers, who came for military service, not professional soldiers.

Above the state capital, it is the largest administrative division in the local administrative system. As mentioned above, the country is divided into fifteen regions, which are the regions directly under Youjing, that is, Youzhili, and the fourteen Chengxuan political envoys.

At the level of the Cheng Xuan Envoy Division, there is no such thing as a supreme person!

The Legation Division, referred to as the Domain, adopts a management system based on the separation of powers. However, it is not the so-called separation of legislative, judicial and administrative powers in later generations, after all, no one in feudal society can touch the legislative power except the emperor. The separation of powers here refers to the three powers of executive, judicial, and military power, and its chief officials are all members of the three ranks.

Among them, the supreme chief executive of the feudal department, the scientific name Cheng announced the political envoy, and the officialdom was generally called "feudal platform". The supreme magistrate, whose scientific name is to be prosecuted and prosecuted, is generally called "Zhentai" above the officialdom. As for the supreme military officer, the scientific name is the military envoy of the Suppression and Supervision of the Army, and there is generally no honorific title above the officialdom. Only when someone else asks for the Overseer's Mansion, out of the need to pat the back, someone may shout "Overseer". But overall, it's still very little.

And among the three giants of the domain, the two civil officials of the domain and the taitai, there is nothing to talk about, it is worth talking about the pacification of the overseer envoy and the overseer's mansion.

Because David's Taizu Quan was built by fighting against foreign races, and finally drove all the foreign races to the outside of the country. But the so-called "the people who are most familiar with you are often your enemies", Quan Yue did not take the outside of the country lightly because of his temporary victory.

Quan Yue is very clear that the climate above the grasslands and deserts is like the craziest and most ruthless lion. The male lion cruelly abused, and looked up to its offspring that had lived by snorting. In the process, the weak will die, and the strong will inherit the ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness of the male lion and become the spokesman of his will.

And each generation of the co-masters of the grassland and the desert, after calming the iron and blood outside the fortress, will look south. They knew that in the winter there, there would not be a white-haired wind that would freeze the entire tribe overnight; The land there can be cultivated with inexhaustible crops; The girl there had a smooth skin like a stuffy cheese......

"I've been here, Humasiudose." This is the motto that the covenant will never change, and it also explains why he cares so much about army building.

However, it is not enough to understand this truth, and the power treaty is also very clear, so while building a strong army, he has not forgotten to strictly manage and control the army. This kind of control is all the more necessary especially when most of the top leaders of the military are children of soldiers.

Otherwise, the sharper the sword, the more it will hurt oneself if one is given a handle. Quan Yue didn't want the sharp spear he had built to guard against the alien race in the north of the country would destroy his own royal power and glory.

For this reason, the treaty completely separated the conscripts from the professional soldiers, and placed the former under the constraints of the local civil service.

Specifically, the Governor of the Governor's Republic of China had no authority under any circumstances to command the garrisons of the state capitals, unless he had a temporary power granted by the Holy Decree. The only people who can command the garrison of the state capital are the garrison commander of the state capital, and the immediate boss of the garrison commander, that is, the prefect.

And the only one who has the power to recommend the commander of the garrison and help him get promoted is also the governor of the state capital, not the governor of the overseer's office.

This kind of rule restriction makes it impossible for the senior professional soldiers, who are mainly composed of soldiers, that is, the various overseers and their lieutenants, to reach out to the localities. The Overseer's Office could not control the local military, let alone affect the local administration, justice, finance and taxation, and lost the possibility of the military sitting in politics.

But at the same time, the system left by the power treaty gave the army enough attention and support at the level of the feudal department. So that the overseers in various places can have the resources to polish their armies into proud soldiers, and they are proud generals with group combat capabilities.

Of course, there are still limitations. First of all, the promotion and deployment of all military attaches were still in the hands of the Ministry of War, and ultimately decided by the emperor. Secondly, in daily life, the grain and grass salaries of the overseers' mansions in various places are allocated by the lords of the feudal lords in various places.

After talking about the local system, let's go back to the central administrative system.

The David Dynasty abolished the official position of prime minister, and then divided the power of the prime minister, creating the "duality and six-part system". Among them, the six-ministry system is very simple, that is, the six ministries of officials, rituals, soldiers, households, criminals and workers, each performing its own duties and maintaining the operation of the country. This is no different from the time and space where Zhou Zheng is located, which is completely carved out of a mold.

As for the duality in front of the six departments, it refers to two institutions, one is called Tengjiao Palace, and the other is called Qifeng Pavilion.

Among them, the Qifeng Pavilion is similar to the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, with no formal administrative body and no subordinate officials, and does not constitute direct leadership over the six ministries, almost a collection of temporary workers. However, the status of Qifeng Pavilion is very, very high.

There is one reason for this, firstly, in terms of authority, the cabinet is the exclusive senior advisory body of the emperor. Whether it is the six ministries or the officials, all the memoranda presented will be sent to the cabinet in a unified manner.

After reviewing and discussing these recitals, the cabinet elders wrote down their opinions on a piece of paper and pasted them on the recitals and sent them to the emperor, which was the power of the cabinet to draft votes. In most cases, as long as the opinion of the cabinet is fine, the emperor has a cursory look at it, and then uses a red pen to make a batch of red and express his approval.

In the process of drafting and approving the red, the emperor basically does not pay attention to the details. So whoever is unlucky and who is prosperous may depend on whose name the elder wants to write.

And if the emperor and the pavilion elders have different views, he will also find the pavilion elders as soon as possible and discuss them carefully. The world belongs to the emperor, and the qualification to be able to discuss issues directly with the emperor is a super huge power in itself.

Second, this is an element that is completely opposite to that of the Ming Dynasty cabinet.

The biggest feature of the Ming Dynasty cabinet is that it pays attention to the clear background and pays attention to a "non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet". In other words, what kind of people can enter the cabinet? Only those who ranked high in the imperial examination and were elected to the Hanlin Academy could enter the cabinet.

After the imperial examination, this group of Qingliu elements will hardly come into contact with local government affairs for decades. Even if Hanlin was originally from a peasant family, by the time they are qualified to enter the cabinet, I am afraid that they have long forgotten the feeling of "sweat dropping into the soil".

Taking a step back, even if they are really worried about the country and the people, they have almost no experience in the operation of local administrative organs because they have not directly served as local parents. Expecting this group of people to govern the country well and let the common people live a prosperous life is no different from expecting monks to cook good meat dishes.

The characteristic of David's election of cabinet elders is that he only selects officials who have experience in the state capital and above. And this is not a random selection, it is not an official with a high reputation and excellent examinations, and he is not qualified to enter the emperor's list at all. To put it simply, this group of pavilion elders is a "capable minister who governs the world". Even if there is no power brought by the administrative body, and there are no subordinate officials to send, their names alone are a kind of strength.

As for Tengjiaodian, another institution after the "duality", we have to talk about the army building system left by the power treaty.

The power treaty gave the Overseer the same status and power as the feudal officials, and gave it absolute financial resources as a support for its development. At the same time, however, he left behind a number of measures to hinder the Overseer's Palace. After that, what he is concerned about is how to make the support and restraint he left behind work for a long time.

In the view of the power covenant, the simplest way is directly under the central government. The Tengjiao Palace is an organization that directly governs the Overseer's Mansion and at the same time deliberates on the cabinet votes.

Some people may wonder that the power treaty has been engaged in decentralization and checks and balances, how can the Tengjiao Palace in the "duality" not only directly govern the military, but also dictate to the cabinet on the administrative side?

The reason is very simple, Tengjiao Hall is composed of members of the royal family. To be precise, the Tengjiao Palace is composed of princes - all the members of the Tengjiao Palace, regardless of seniority, enjoy the same right to inherit the throne.
