The next day, the government hall.

"Tuyuhun has been on the move recently, and there have been many small groups of cavalry invading the border, and several Zhuangzi have been damaged and all of them have been looted."

Cen Wenwen was worried.

Every year at the beginning of winter, the barbarians must rob the border and rob the money, grain and material reserves for the winter. At this time, it was a time when the border gates were tight, and if a small group of cavalry invaded the territory, it would be fine, but once a large force of cavalry broke into the border and invaded the hinterland, it would cause incalculable heavy losses.

Fang Xuanling pinched his forehead and sighed: "Is there an official document delivered by the British public?" ”

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er took Li Jing as the chief of the Xihai Road march, commanding the military department Shangshu, the Jishi Road marching chief Hou Junji, the criminal department Shangshu Rencheng Wang, the Shanshan Road marching chief Li Daozong, the Liangzhou governor, and the last road marching chief Li Daliang, the Minzhou governor, the Chishui Road marching chief Li Daoyan, the Lizhou Thorn Shi Yanze Road marching chief Gao Yongsheng and the Turkic and Qihe Li of the Tang Dynasty to attack Tuyuhun. On the eighth day of the fourth month of the leap year of the following year, Li Daozong defeated the Tuyuhun army at Kushan.

Fu Shun, the son of Fu Yun, the king of Tuyuhun, led the whole country to surrender to the Tang army, Fu Yun hanged himself and died, and Tuyuhun was attached to the Tang Dynasty. Fu Yun's son Fu Shun was named Khan and King of Xiping County, and Tuyuhun became a subject state of the Tang Dynasty.

In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Li Ji was renamed the Duke of England and inherited the history of Qizhou Thorn. At that time, the hereditary assassin Shi sealed by the imperial court was only in name, and he did not take office in the state and county, so he took the official position of the governor of the state and the governor of the prefecture to lead the prince Zuo Wei rate, and there was half a year in the capacity of the governor of the prefecture to deal with local military and political affairs for Li Zhi, the king of Jin, who was named the governor of the prefecture.

At present, Li Ji is in Chang'an, but the annexation of the prefecture is his deployment, and Tuyuhun has always been under the supervision of the metropolitan governor's office of the prefecture, so everything in Tuyuhun should be in charge of Li Ji.

Cen Wenwen said: "The British princess is collecting intelligence, and wants to determine whether this is just the private behavior of some scattered tribes, or whether the royal family of Tuyuhun is also involved. ”

Several Zaisuke were a little silent for a while.

I really don't know how those Tuyuhun people thought that they would have to break away from the Tang Dynasty and stand on their own, don't they know that if it weren't for the support of the Tang Dynasty, they would have been swallowed by the Tubo who was eyeing them behind them?

Barbarians are barbarians, and they always don't follow the reason, which is a headache.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Wang De, the chief attendant of the chamberlain, walked in, saluted a few Zaifu, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has invited a few Zaifu to go to the Shenlong Palace, and there are important matters to discuss." ”

His Majesty Li Er sometimes came to the political hall to listen to the deliberations of several Zaifu, but in the summer, he was sprayed by Wei Zheng, who had been on the sickbed for a long time. Wei Zheng said: "Since it is the establishment of a political affairs hall, it is necessary for the Zaifu to gather and discuss, and learn from the strengths of all families to brainstorm, so as to get the most appropriate ideological and political strategy, Your Majesty, you sit here and insert a sentence casually, how can the Zaifu refute your words?" ”

His Majesty Li Er said that I would listen, and I would not speak.

As a result, Wei Zheng said: "Since you don't express your opinion, what's the use of listening to it?" ”

His Majesty Li Er was helpless, looking at Wei Zheng's trembling state that he didn't know when he would kick his legs and swallow his breath, and he couldn't get out of the fire, so he had to throw his sleeves and leave, never to come to the political hall again......

Several bigwigs glanced at each other, got up together, and followed Wang De to the Divine Dragon Palace.

When he arrived at the Divine Dragon Palace, he gave a salute first, and then sat down in the main hall, Fang Xuanling asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty has to do?" ”

His Majesty Li Er was not in a hurry to talk about things, so he first asked the palace maid to serve hot tea and bring a few exquisite pastries for a few Zaifu to enjoy.

Several Zaisuke ate a few pastries and drank tea.

His Majesty Li Er then said: "I want to change individual Shangzhou into 'mansions' and strengthen the imperial court's control over all parts of the world. In addition, Jingzhao Mansion was added from Yongzhou, with jurisdiction over six counties of An, Nian, Tian, Xinfeng, Weinan and Huayin. ”

Prior to this, there was no such thing as a "government" in the administrative divisions.

But now that the territory of the Tang Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, the center's control over the local area will inevitably gradually weaken. According to the idea of His Majesty Li Er, the "government" system was created, and the "house" was set up in the important place of the palace, and in addition to the Jingzhao Mansion, Henan Mansion (Eastern Capital, Luoyang), Fengxiang Mansion (Western Capital), Taiyuan Mansion (Northern Capital), Jiangling Mansion (Southern Capital), and Hezhong Mansion (Central Capital) were set up in the world, all of which were directly governed by the central government, so as to strengthen the control of the imperial court center over all parts of the world.

The newly established Jingzhao Mansion is both the "Zhili" territory of the Tang Empire.

Several Zaifu looked at each other, wondering why His Majesty had come up with such a big plan so abruptly.

However, since the emperor proposed it, he had to discuss its feasibility as a zaifu.

Fang Xuanling was the first to agree: "In this way, it will inevitably greatly strengthen the unity of the central powers, except for the Jingzhao Mansion, the military and political powers of the other five prefectures can be directly governed by the central government to the greatest extent, rather than the previous rights are all vested in various places, often because of a little trivial matter is unclear and less efficient." The old minister agreed. ”

Any change that strengthens the centralization of power should be affirmed and supported, which is the principled position of Zaisuke.

The eldest grandson Wuji pondered for a moment and said: "The old minister agrees in principle, but these five prefectures must be separated from the states where they are located, should they send additional officials, or should they be concurrently served by the officials of the previous states?" ”

I have to say that all personnel issues are big problems.

The addition of additional officials will inevitably lead to a bloated bureaucratic structure and increase the financial burden on the imperial court; In the past, if the state officials held the same position, will there be a phenomenon of passive sabotage and ambiguity?

His Majesty Li Er also scratched his head, he just planned to do this as soon as his brain was hot, in order to strengthen the centralization of power and enhance the imperial power, but he didn't think about it so much.

Cen Wenwen was silent and had not yet expressed his opinion.

He was pondering the intention of the emperor's move, and in addition to going out to strengthen the imperial power, would there be any extraneous meaning?

Fang Xuanling glanced at His Majesty Li Er, and saw that his expression was a little embarrassed, after all, it took several days to come up with such a system, and it seemed that there were loopholes everywhere at the beginning, and it was inevitable that his face would be a little unbearable.

After thinking about it, Fang Xuanling said: "According to the old minister, why not adopt the regulations of the city department?" ”

His Majesty Li Er was slightly stunned: "City Division? ”

What does this have to do with the city?

Cen Wenwen slapped his thigh and praised: "This method is good!" ”

"I'm confused, Xuan Ling, tell me what's going on, I don't quite understand."

His Majesty Li Er's greatest advantage is that he is not ashamed to ask, he will never pretend to be confused about things he can't understand, and the few people in front of him are the most outstanding figures in the empire, and it is not a shame to ask them.

Fang Xuanling said: "Let's let Jingren talk about it." ”

"Jingren" is the character of the Cen text.

The City Ship Division was created by Fang Jun, and Fang Xuanling affirmed the charter of the City Ship Division here, which inevitably gave people the suspicion of "boasting".

His Majesty Li Er said helplessly: "What is there to be modest about this? Fang Jun's kid is really doing a good job, we have to beat hard when we make mistakes, but if we have made achievements, we must also affirm it as elders. Okay, Cen text, you say. ”

Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "Why should Fang Xiang avoid suspicion? It is a long-faced thing for a child to have a chance, and now people in Guanzhong always have the phrase "giving birth to a child should be like a house and leaving love", this is not a joke, I don't know how many people envy you in their hearts? ”

He said it unintentionally, but the eldest grandson Wuji on the side had a dark face......

Mother, you all have good sons, but my son went astray and was ruined, right?

After Cen Wenwen finished speaking, he also realized that he had lost his words, and was a little embarrassed, so he quickly coughed dryly and said: "The City Ship Division is a new system and a new yamen, which is unprecedented in ancient times, and has no experience for reference. Therefore, Hua Tinghou put forward a 'trial' point of view in the copy submitted to the political affairs hall, that is, to choose a place for trial operation, and to find deficiencies and accumulate experience in the process of operation. This method can perfectly avoid the unpredictable risks brought about by blindly operating the city in the world, so that the minister thinks that the idea of changing the state government proposed by His Majesty can also be operated in this way. Choosing one of the places mentioned by His Majesty to 'try it out', even if it turns out that the effect is not as expected, it will only be a problem within a controllable range, and it will not cause a national panic and far-reaching impact. ”
