If Li Xuan wants to engage in judicial independence, the people who support it the most are naturally the people of the Inspectorate, especially the current Inspectorate's Zuodu Yushi Shi Shi Wu Yan is even more supportive.

Because of the complete independence of the judiciary, this means that the Inspectorate can completely get rid of the influence of the cabinet, so his political status will be much higher, and his words in the imperial study will be more weighty, rather than more embarrassing than now.

At present, the core of power in the Tang Dynasty is basically concentrated in the imperial study, although there is no clear explanation, but it is undeniable that the imperial study of the Tang Empire has become an institution similar to the former Ming cabinet.

It has many powers, not only limited to administrative power, but also military power, because among the ministers on duty and the ministers on duty in the imperial study, there are also representatives of the military.

At present, the representative of the army is the real boss of the army, Hao Bonian, but he is not on duty as the head of the Privy Council Operations Department like Lei Wan, but as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

As for Admiral Revin, he officially withdrew from the Imperial Study this year, and also stepped down from the position of Minister of War and became the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

Deputy Privy Council, this is a position specially arranged by Li Xuan for many army bigwigs, and it is also the highest-level position in the army in the Tang Empire, and only the rank of general can be held.

However, this kind of office is more like an honorary position, and if there is no other assignment, then it is just a false position.

So far, the number of generals who have served as deputy envoys to the Privy Council has reached nine, and according to Li Xuan's arrangement, the number of deputy envoys to the Privy Council will basically remain at more than five and less than ten for a long time in the future.

In the future, Li Xuan also decided that he would not be transferred to the generals of the various ministries under the Privy Council to be on duty in the imperial study, but would only be selected from the deputy envoys of the Privy Council, which could be regarded as an adjustment to the current position system of the army.

After all, in the past, the Minister of War like Lei Wan was directly appointed as the Minister of the Imperial Study, but he put aside a real power general like Hao Bonian, although it was said that he could control the authority of the real power general, but for so many years, Hao Bonian and other military bigwigs have stayed in Jinling City honestly, and they will not even take the initiative to leave Jinling City without a holy decree.

This kind of performance, of course, is to save their own lives and avoid arousing Li Xuan's suspicion, and Li Xuan also saw it.

As the so-called reciprocating the favor of the courtiers, Li Xuan still has to reward the loyalty of the courtiers, and let them lead the troops directly, which is impossible, because in the current military system of the Tang Empire, generals with the rank of lieutenant general are allowed to command an army, and in the Tang Empire, an army is basically responsible for an entire theater of operations, and there is no need for a higher command organization.

At least not at the moment!

In order to give the new generation of generals below the opportunity to be promoted, maintain an upward channel, and at the same time to control the troops, it is impossible for Li Xuan to delegate generals at the level of generals to the field troops.

Unless there is a major battle that requires the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of people in the future, in this case, generals with the rank of general will be sent to the front line to command the army.

But this situation is unlikely to happen in the next few decades!

In this way, how to arrange these generals with outstanding military achievements is actually a troublesome matter, and those who can arrange these generals are also the ministers of the Privy Council, and above the ministers, Li Xuan has specially engaged in the position of deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and then selects personnel from the deputy envoy of the Privy Council to join the imperial study, thus forming a whole new set of high-level promotion system.

Of course, not every general can join the imperial study, and there are still a few people who can join the imperial study, but it also gives them a hope.

In any case, every minister who can enter the imperial study now, whether civil or military, is already the pinnacle of the Tang Empire.

However, even within the Imperial Study, although the ministers on duty are nominally of equal status, there are actually differences, and most of these people's status comes from the institutions behind them.

Among them, the highest political status, naturally Liu Bagou, his power naturally does not come from the part-time Ministry of Agriculture, in fact, he does not care about the affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture, his power comes more from the prestige of the elders of the two dynasties.

Then came the representatives of the army and navy, that is, Admiral Hao Bonian and Admiral Ouyang Gui.

Ouyang Gui succeeded Bao Yifen last year and became the minister on duty in the imperial study, and unlike Admiral Lei Wan, who did not retire but became a deputy envoy to the Privy Council, Bao Yifen retired directly and became a reserve.

This is not because Li Xuan is dissatisfied with him, or he has any political problems, but because his body can't hold on, he has been the minister on duty in the imperial study for a long time, and the head of the military command department under the naval command, Bao Yifen's work is very busy, and he finally couldn't hold it last year.

When he was less than 50 years old, he was bedridden as soon as he fell ill, and finally had no choice but to retire from active duty and turn into the reserve.

Over the years, there have been many more generals like Bao Yifen who retired because of age, injuries and other reasons, or civil officials of Zhishi, after all, the years are ruthless, and now they are all sixteen years of Xuanping, and the courtiers who followed Li Xuan to fight the country in the early years, even if it is a person like Hao Bonian, he was only in his twenties back then, but now he is in his forties.

And Liu Bagou was nearly fifty years old back then, and now he is in his sixties.

That is, Liu Bagou's body is quite tough, so he can still hold it, but he can't do it for a few years.

In recent years, although many old courtiers have gradually left the core and high-level of the empire, but this is not a climax, Li Xuan estimates that in another five or six years, I am afraid it will be difficult to see the old courtiers around him again.

There is no other reason, the years are urging people to grow old!

They can defeat the powerful Qianming, follow Li Xuan to conquer this huge country, and promote the continuous expansion of the Tang Empire to the periphery, but they still can't defeat time!

Over the years, the representatives of the army and navy in the imperial study have all completed the rotation.

However, Hao Bonian and Ouyang Gui, who are new to the imperial study, are also the same as their predecessors, they all stick to their duties in the imperial study, keeping in mind the principle of separation of military and political affairs, as long as things do not involve military affairs, then they basically will not express any opinions.

Although they say that when they speak, they carry a lot of weight, but most of the time they do not speak.

In addition to the military representatives, there are three big names in the cabinet, the secretary of the Ministry of Taxation, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, and the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce.

At the same time, it is because he controls the tax department, and the tax department is a self-contained system, in the imperial study, except for Liu Bagou, he basically does not give much face to others.

Although the heads of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Commerce have been changed several times, every new Secretary of the Ministry of Commerce and the Secretary of Commerce are not simple people.

In this comparison, on the contrary, the three people of the Inspectorate Zuodu Yushi, the president of the Grand Court and the head of the Hanlin Academy, spoke lightly in the imperial study.

The head of the Hanlin Academy spoke lightly, because he didn't dare to speak, because the Hanlin Academy was too special, and he dared to get involved in large-scale struggles easily.

As for the Inspectorate and the Grand Court, no one listens to what they say.

There is no way, although the two institutions of the Inspectorate and the Grand Court are nominally independent, they are subject to too much restraint, and this confidence is not enough, so naturally no one listens.

But if the judiciary is completely independent, then it will be able to make the Inspectorate and the Grand Court completely free from the constraints of other departments of the cabinet, which will be reflected in the imperial study, and it will also make Shi Wuyan speak more hard.

Therefore, judicial independence is a great thing for the two institutions of the Inspectorate and the Grand Court, and it is even more good for Shi Wuyan.

However, for the rest of the Cabinet, this is not a good thing, because it almost means that the Cabinet will completely lose its influence on the Inspectorate!

However, when the Inspectorate jumped up and down, Liu Bagou, the actual head of the cabinet, was closed to the guests, without the slightest objection, which made many people unable to understand it.

When you can't understand it, you will naturally not easily stand in line, and even in this reform, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Finance, which are expected to suffer the greatest losses, are very rare and silent.

They are all waiting, waiting for the opinion of the Son of Heaven on this excerpt!

Is it a direct refutation or approval?

Is it to stay in the middle or transfer it to the imperial study for approval, or directly convene a relevant meeting for this matter?

Each different choice of the Son of Heaven represents a different direction, and even the same choice often represents a different meaning.

As a courtier, the most important thing now is to judge the intentions of the Holy Son of Heaven, and then follow the steps of the Holy Son of Heaven Li Xuan!

If you get it wrong, you're out of luck!

Li Xuan didn't let the courtiers wait too long, and soon made an instruction, the content of Zhu Pen's instructions was very brief, and it seemed to be a very ordinary three words: "I know"

Then he forwarded the fold to the Imperial Study for circulation.

These three words seem to be ordinary, but they are unusual in this excerpt.

If it's just an ordinary excerpt, such a comment basically has no meaning, it is nothing more than that I already know about it, what should I do, it is a normal comment, Li Xuan reviews so many excerpts every day, and five out of ten books are to review these three words.

But on such an important excerpt, such a comment is enough to make people find many unusual meanings!

What does it mean?

That is, the Son of Heaven did not directly refute this excerpt, and at the same time, he did not directly agree to the approval that he had read it and transferred it to the imperial study for handling, but an ambiguous 'I know' and let the minister on duty in the imperial study circulate it!

What does this mean?
