Chapter 680: The Northern Expedition
The ceremony of the founding of the Han Dynasty lasted for half a day, with a group of old ministers such as Sun Chengzong, and the etiquette of the Han Kingdom was complete.
However, Liu Ximing is not a marionette, and some unreasonable and unsuitable parts of these rituals have also been appropriately deleted.
More crucially, the ceremony of the founding of the Han Dynasty was carried out after the Luzon Assembly agreed and approved.
This is simply a earth-shaking change for the people of the world.
Historically, the king and the emperor have all claimed to be ordained by themselves, or forced the former dynasty to transfer the mandate of heaven.
For otherwise, it does not show the divine authority of the king's destiny.
Liu Ximing set a precedent, on the one hand, he claimed that Liu Shigong was enough to be the king in the world, and on the other hand, it was deliberated and announced by the Assembly.
This is tantamount to telling the people of the world that although the monarchy is divine, it must also be recognized by the people.
This matter has long been sourced among the Chinese sages.
Xun Zi said, the people of heaven are not for the king, and the king of heaven thinks that the people are also.
It was on this basis that Liu Ximing declared the legitimacy of his regime.
After the ceremony, Liu Ximing, who had already become the king of Han, walked down Huanghu Mountain under the protection of the ministers, and first performed the enthronement ceremony in the palace of the king of Chu.
As for Zhu Cihong and the others, they had already moved to the Yong'an palace of the King of Chu at this time.
"Long live the king, long live, long live."
After the splendid decoration of the Imperial Palace, Liu Ximing once again accepted the worship of the ministers.
"The widow was on the throne at the beginning, and he was waiting to develop his ambitions, and he urgently needed the courtiers to serve him, so today he will determine the state system and officials of the dynasty to correct the hearts of the people."
Li Biao, who was tall and strong, immediately stepped forward with a bright yellow holy decree in his hand and read it:
"Fengtian carrier, the Han king's edict said, the beginning of the Han Dynasty, set this year as the first year of the Han Dynasty, and the national flag is a five-star red flag. Decree to renew the form of government and create new official positions......"
"Set up Zhongshu Province to take charge of the government, the prime minister's general leader, under the Guanglu Temple, the Imperial Inspectorate, Xuanhua Temple, Honglu Temple, Lieutenant Temple, Taishi Temple, Xuanyuan Temple, Confidential Temple, Post Temple, Audit Temple."
"Take Su Jin as the prime minister."
"The province of Shangshu is in charge of government affairs, the prime minister is in charge, and it consists of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Xing, the Ministry of Planning, the Department of Education, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Medicine, the Ministry of Police, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of River, the Taifu Temple, the City Bo Temple, the Guoye Temple, and the Taicang Temple."
"With Dou Yuquan as prime minister."
"Set up the province to take charge of the king's affairs, participate in the governor's general affairs, and set up Tongzheng Temple, Zongzheng Temple, Zhan Shifu, Taichang Temple, Taifu Temple, Shaofu Temple, Langguan Temple, Weiwei Temple, and Qintian Temple."
"Chen Yi is designated as the governor of the government."
"There are separate departments such as the Assembly House, Dali Temple, Tingwei Temple, Statistics Temple, Jinwuwei, and Guoan Temple, which are directly responsible to the King of Han."
"Set up the Governor's Office of the Three Armies, the Commander-in-Chief of the Taiwei, and set up the Ideological and Political Department, the Military Election Department, the Car Driving Department, the Arsenal Department, the Staff Department, the Training Department, the Military Police Department, and the Military Dali Temple."
"Take Cao Bianjiao as the captain."
"All armies have been reorganized, and the military establishment is divided into Shi, Tun, Qu, Regiment, Battalion, Brigade, and Division, with 10 men each, 30 tun men, 120 Qu men, 400 regiments, 1,500 battalions, 5,000 brigades, and 20,000 divisions. There is no establishment at the division level and above, and a military commander will be appointed when necessary. β
"Establish a military rank system, military attachΓ©s and civilian officials are completely separated, and military ranks include non-commissioned officer, corporal, sergeant, sergeant, sergeant, military commander, military marquis, lieutenant, lieutenant, general, and marshal."
"The government and the opposition are unified with official titles, and Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province are all called Qing, Shaoqing, Cheng, Doctor, Langzhong, Wailang, and Chief."
"Shangshu Province is called Shangshu, Shangshu Servant, Shizhong, Shilang, Langzhong, Yuanwailang, and Principal."
"From today onwards, a five-level political system will be set up: central, provincial, prefecture (prefecture), county, and township, with the governor connected with Zhongshu Province, and the governor connected with Shangshu Province."
"The government is set up to connect with Zhongshu Province, the prefect is connected to Shangshu Province, the county is set up with the history of thorns, the county is set up with the county, and the township is set up with the township elder and the township order ......"
β¦β¦
The new dynasty system of the Han Dynasty was very grand, and almost completely overthrew the entire old Ming system.
After Li Biao finished reading, all the courtiers were already dumbfounded.
Liu Ximing laughed and got up, flicked his sleeves and said:
"Our Han Dynasty is different from the previous dynasties, so although the official position system has many borrowed names, its functions and positions are very different."
Liu Ximing paced down the throne.
"Since the Qin Dynasty, China has had a great unified dynasty, and the government of China for two thousand years, few people think, are all Qin politics."
"Wow"
In the court, the ministers were in an uproar.
Sun Chuanting bowed in confusion and said: "King, since the Western Han Dynasty, the country has respected Confucianism, which is very different from the politics of the Legalist family of the Qin State, I don't know why the king said so?" β
Liu Ximing smiled:
"To go further, the government of two thousand years is a big thief. Two thousand years of learning are all the learning of the hometown. β
"Since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, the people of the whole country have been regarded as pigs and dogs, and the whole country has only respected the monarch, which is based on the power of life and death, and the rise and fall of the country is not transferred by the will of the people of the world, but by the king alone."
"What is the difference between the whole kingdom and the great thief who has spent all their money to provide for the king and his heirs? The only difference is that the thief has to rely on his own sword to rob it, but the king can come to the door with a tax collector. β
"King Shengming!"
As soon as Liu Ximing's voice fell, Huang Zongxi, Chen Zilong and others all shouted excitedly.
Liu Ximing's voice expounded on it, and it can really be said that all the voices of enlightened people in the world have been spoken.
Since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty for more than 2,000 years, there is no day when the world is not fighting with the king in the court, so the longest of each dynasty is only two or three hundred years.
Liu Ximing simply sat down on the throne and said to everyone:
"Thanks to the love of all the monarchs and their willingness to serve me as the master, and our monarchs and ministers are determined to establish a society of great harmony, then this government can no longer be the same as before."
"The biggest feature of this dynasty is the separation of powers, the separation of judicial, executive, and legislative powers, and the participation of the people in political governance, so that the world can naturally be governed."
In fact, the system formulated by Liu Ximing is largely based on the system of my rabbit.
If a discerning person looks at it, he can find at a glance that this Chinese book province is exactly the same as a certain committee.
Guanglu Temple is in charge of personnel, which is equivalent to the organization department.
Xuanhua Temple is responsible for propaganda, which is equivalent to the propaganda department.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Honglu Temple is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Lieutenant Temple is the Ministry of Armed Forces, and the Taishi Institute is the National History Museum.
The more special is the Xuanyuan Temple, which is divided into the Daolu Division, the Sangha Division and the Pagan Division, which are mainly in charge of religious work.
In order to thank Wudang Yimai for his help in the process of seizing the throne, Liu Ximing simply named this institution after the name of Wudang Xuanyuanguan.
In the future, Xuanyuan Temple will be more preferred, and there is no need to say more.
As for the Secret Temple, the Post Temple, and the Audit Temple, they are respectively responsible for confidentiality, compilation, and auditing.
In Shangshu Province, the more special one is the Taifu Temple, which is actually the tax bureau.
The city is the customs, the Guoye Temple is the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the Taicang Temple is responsible for the national grain reserves.
Corresponding to the Kokuye Temple, there is also a Shaofu Temple in the province of Menxia, which is mainly responsible for the royal business.
After all, the Han Dynasty was still a monarchy, and in order to control the regime, Liu Ximing had to control a considerable part of the financial power.
Of course, not to mention military power, no one else is allowed to get involved.
Liu Ximing's detailed explanation made the courtiers suddenly realize, and everyone had to admire the subtlety of the Han King's design of this system.
Yang Yipeng slapped his hands on the spot, "Wonderful, wonderful, the system of this dynasty is linked one by one, and the minister thinks that the key lies in the words supervision and checks and balances." β
Liu Ximing looked up to the sky and smiled, "Shanye, in addition, there will be a cabinet above the three provinces, and five people, including the prime minister, the prime minister, the governor of the council, the big Nayan, and the Taiwei, will jointly discuss the government and politics, and the oligarchy will call it democratic centralism." β
"Democratic centralism", Huang Zongxi lowered his head and silently recited this new word, but the light in his eyes became more and more prosperous.
Seeing that the system of the DPRK and China was explained, Liu Ximing got up and walked onto the throne, and with a wave of his big sleeves, he directly roared arrogantly:
"Now that the new dynasty has arrived, the people of the world will suffer a lot, and the widows have decided to go east and north, vowing to expel the Tartars."
"Where is the captain?"
Cao Bianjiao strode out of the ranks, "The minister is here." β
"I ordered the governor's office of the three armies to immediately reorganize the army, and we must complete the reorganization of the whole army within three days, and after three days, the widow personally led 200,000 troops to recover Jiangnan."
"Wait for the order!"
In the court, the ministers were inexplicably excited, and they all bowed down together.
"The king is full of martial virtues, and this trip will save my Chinese people from fire and water."
The first court meeting of the Great Han Kingdom was successfully concluded.
On the second day, Liu Ximing continued to hold a big ceremony to canonize everyone in the harem.
Liu Ximing first listed his short-lived son Liu Shanqi as the king, and Liu Chen as the queen mother.
As for the position of queen, of course, it is Xie Chunxi who will hold it.
At the same time, Cao Wanyi, Li Xiangjun, Dong Xiaowan, Yu Qiaoman, Mingyue and other five daughters were named concubines.
But when it came time to canonize the crown prince, the ministers were a little big.
Without him, the heroines in the harem of the King of Han are bigger than the other.
Xie Chunxi is the queen, and the Boring Xie family has always strongly supported Liu Ximing.
Not only did Xie Chengzhou, the national abbot, come out to serve as the secretary of Guanglu Temple, but Xie Wenle was also the secretary of the school.
Among the others, Yu Qiaoman's elder brother Yu Yongkai served as the governor of the three armies, commanding 150,000 soldiers and horses in the southwest.
Cao Wanyi's brother Cao Bianjiao is a lieutenant and has jurisdiction over the country's soldiers and horses.
With such a background, no one dared to speak indiscriminately about the prince.
In the end, it was Liu Ximing who took the board, the prince is related to the lifeblood of the country, and he will wait until the princes are adults.
In any case, the Han Dynasty finally settled everything.
With the order of Liu Xi, the king of Han, the military machine of the whole country was launched after nearly a year of silence.
