Half a month later, Li Su ascended the throne as emperor. In the past half a month, it has been in the royal city - and now it has been officially renamed the imperial city.

In fact, it was originally built according to the pattern of the imperial city.

Already in the imperial city, the Li clan ancestral hall was built.

And Li Shimin, Li Yuan, and the ancestral tablets of several generations were all placed inside.

Jongmyo is the most important thing for a clan.

Before ascending the throne, let the great Confucian Kong Chong think about the sacrifice of the fields, the temple, and the shrine.

This Kong Chongsi is the second son of the great Confucian Kong Yingda.

This Kong Chongsi, who has also read poetry and books since he was a child, is a Confucian.

When Li Su came to the Golden State, Kong Chongsi felt that it was tens of thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty.

Confucianism here must be in decline, so he worked tirelessly and took the initiative to follow Li Su to the Golden State.

In order to spread Confucianism, let Confucian etiquette shine on the world.

However, after arriving in the Golden State, Kong Chongsi was changed a lot by the culture of Huaxia City.

Kong Chongsi began to feel that many Confucian ideas could not be applied in Huaxia City.

This caused Kong Chongsi to reflect.

Kong Chongsi also consulted Li Su on this issue.

Li Su explained to Kong Chongsi like this: "Chongsi, do you think, what kind of productive forces were the people at that time during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors? ”

"The people are not clothed, they are not fed, they just survive to survive. By the time of Yao Shunyu, there were changes again, and since then, Xia Shang has been to King Wen of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou. ”

"Are the ways in which these sages govern the same? Obviously, this is not the case. ”

"With the development of the times, the sages will change their way of governing at any time according to the current social situation of the time."

"In this world, everything is changing, where is there an immutable standard that is applicable to the whole world!"

Li Su's words, Kong Chongsi suddenly realized.

The ideas of the sages are good, but their ideas were born in the context of their time.

It may not be suitable for the society of later generations.

Therefore, Kong Chongsi, under the influence of Li Su, became a Neo-Confucian.

He began to actively explore the neo-Confucianism that adapted to Huaxia City.

Now that the new emperor is enthroned, the most suitable person is naturally Kong Chongsi.

And Li Su put on a ceremonial dress, went to the temple, and knelt down to worship the ancestral tablet.

And in the direction of the Tang Dynasty, worship the Queen Mother.

Originally, Li Su's new emperor's enthronement ceremony, if the queen mother could be brought in, it would be a great thing.

However, the Queen Mother is too old to withstand the bumps of the waves.

Therefore, in the end, the Queen Mother was not brought over.

And Li Su can only go in the direction of the Tang Dynasty and worship the Queen Mother.

After these rituals were carried out, Li Su began to go to the Zhonghe Hall to receive the courtesies of the ministers.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were also dynasties before the Tang Dynasty.

Usually, when the ministers saw the emperor, even in the early dynasties, they did not need to kneel and bow.

The kneeling salute was only popularized after the Qing Dynasty.

But at the time of such a ceremony, it is necessary to bow down.

Originally, Li Su came from a later generation after a thousand years, and he hated and was very painful for kneeling and bowing.

Li Su was preparing to abolish the kneeling ceremony.

However, Li Su quickly considered that now was his enthronement ceremony.

He is not the emperor now.

Wouldn't it be nice to start abolishing the familiar etiquette at this juncture?

After thinking about it, Li Su decided to put the process on hold.

Next, Li Su began to accept the greetings of the hundreds of officials who knelt three times and bowed nine times.

Outside the palace, there are various musical instruments on display, including big drums, square rings, cloud pounds, flutes, pipes, flutes, cane drums, cypress boards, etc

Next, the enthronement music.

After this series of work is completed, the next step is to start determining the country name and the year name.

The country name has naturally been negotiated a long time ago.

They decided to directly follow the name of Huaxia City, and the country they established was called Huaxia Kingdom.

The year name will start from the new year and be determined as the first year of Huaxia, that is, the first year of Huaxia.

The future era names will be calculated backwards from the first year of Huaxia.

At this point, the enthronement ceremony was completed, and Li Su officially became the emperor of Huaxia.

Next, it's time to reward the ministers.

After negotiations between Li Su and Shangguan Yi, it was decided to continue the bureaucratic system of three provinces and six ministries.

The system of three provinces and six ministries, in the original historical trajectory, from the Sui and Tang dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, must have its merits.

The democratic system of later generations, as well as the promotion mechanism, is certainly more advanced than the three-province six-ministry system.

However, the current Huaxia country does not have the soil to implement such a system.

For the time being, this system cannot be used.

On top of the three provinces and six ministries, Li Su established Wenyuan Pavilion.

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, there will be scholars to help the emperor approve official documents.

and participate in decision-making on confidential matters.

The scholar was also responsible for drafting the votes for the emperor to approve the minister's decree.

However, when it comes to major matters, the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion do not have the right to decide, they only have the right to make suggestions.

The first scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion is also the chief scholar, of course, it is none other than Shangguanyi.

After being nominated as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, Shangguan Yi was extremely excited, but in the excitement, there was also a trace of loss, and at the same time, there was also a trace of happiness.

The excitement is naturally understandable, this Wenyuan Pavilion scholar, and he is also the chief scholar, and what he drives is basically the right of the prime minister.

For Shangguan Yi, his long-cherished wish for many years has finally come true.

What is lost is that the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, even if it is the chief scholar, is only a newly established position by the emperor.

It seems to be on par with the prime minister, but in fact, it is much worse than the prime minister's authority.

The emperor's move is tantamount to abolishing the post of prime minister.

Concentrate all the power in your own hands.

The setting of Wenyuan Pavilion made Shangguan Yi extremely happy and convinced.

Don't look at the emperor, he usually doesn't take care of things, but he has an extraordinary understanding of controlling the ministers and the bureaucratic system, which is very human.

And Shangguan Yi's final rejoicing mood was actually because he was only serving as the chief scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, not the prime minister.

Although the prime minister is high and powerful, in the end, it will inevitably conflict with the imperial power.

When the time comes, I am afraid that it will be the end of my own.

And the chief scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, even if he is at fault, he is just a dismissal.

Basically, it won't die, and it won't affect the family.

At the same time, Li Su also promoted three officials to Wenyuan Pavilion as university scholars.

So far, in the Wenyuan Pavilion, the four scholars have been completed.

In this way, it is equivalent to once again dividing the power of Shangguanyi.

The other officials, all of whom are human spirits, can naturally see the emperor's intentions.

In their hearts, they all admired the emperor's royal methods.

Next, it is time to appoint the officials of the six ministries.

Li Su appointed Wu Meiniang as the secretary of the ministry, in charge of the promotion and evaluation of officials.

Cui Yingying was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the appointment was ......

All the original officials of Huaxia City were given and promoted.

Xue Rengui, Wang Fangyi, Xi Junmai, Cheng Chuliang, Qin Huaiyu, Wei Chi Baoqi and others were all named generals.

At the same time, Li Su divided all the territory currently controlled by the Huaxia State into fifteen administrative provinces.

A number of urban districts are set up under the province, counties are set up under the urban areas, and townships are set up under the counties, and each township is under the command of a number of villages.

Well, Li Su, this is completely lazy.

The division of administrative regions in later generations was directly copied.

The chief executive of the province shall be the senior provincial officials and senior officials.

Cities and counties continue to be called all the way to townships.

The principal leaders of provinces and municipalities are all appointed by the central government.

In this way, the power was further concentrated in the hands of the emperor.

For now, though, officials are lacking.

At the beginning of the establishment of the entire Huaxia Kingdom, there were countless problems that needed to be solved, and it was really a thousand things.

First of all, from the perspective of infrastructure.

Huaxia needs to be busy for more than ten years or even decades to build infrastructure.

You need to repair the railway, right?

The road needs to be repaired, right?

Cities need to be built, right?

Fortunately, they captured the two large cities of the Family Alliance, as well as countless smaller cities.

These two big cities can be used directly.

As for the countless small towns, they had to be renovated and expanded.

In addition, there are countless mining areas and factories, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure that need to be built.

Where to build the road first, which area to build first, these are all things that need to be worried about by civil and military officials.

And when it comes to software construction, it's even more.

First and foremost, the question of the law is the most urgent.

This must be released as soon as possible, and the people of Huaxia must know that those things can be done.

And those things can't be done.

And what the law stops, if it is done, what kind of price needs to be paid.

The letter of the law, the promotion system of officials, the education system......

And so on and so forth.

The current Huaxia Kingdom has just been founded, and many aspects are blank.

There is simply no precedent to draw on.

Of course, they can naturally learn from the precedent of Datang.

However, this must also be combined with the actual situation of Huaxia.

In terms of law, Li Su thought about it and brought out some legal concepts from later generations.

Of course, it is not copied, after all, the national conditions are very different.

Instead, move out a part of the frame.

This part of the framework also has a great role of inspiration and enlightenment for the legal workers of Huaxia.

At the same time, the current situation of urgently needing officials must also be resolved in the shortest possible time.

Because the number of officials lacking is somewhat large, if we cannot make up for it as soon as possible, the work in major cities will not be carried out at all.

Therefore, Li Su decided to convene an Enke in two months.

And the reason why it is set in two months is because it will take at least two months to notify the entire site.

That's it, there are many other areas, and it is from the sea to make a detour in the past when notified.

There is no way, now there are railways and roads in the west.

Elsewhere, not at all.

Not even electricity and telephones.

In this case, if the speed of propagation can be fast, it will be a hell of a thing.

Still, there are some minimalist paths.

When the Saga Alliance was developing these places, it also built a lot of roads.

Now, it's cheaper in Huaxia.

At this time, all the high-level officials of the 15 administrative provinces and the urban areas below had been appointed.

These officials have already taken up their posts in a hurry.

Or there are some people who are already in office.

It's just that they were originally just city lords, but now they have directly become city officials or mayors.

Next, the governors of various provinces fell into a busy situation.

These fifteen administrative provinces and thirty governors are all old men who follow the emperor.

Now the emperor remembers the old and bestows them such a high official position and gives them such an important position.

You must know that the size of a province they are now is almost equivalent to a Dao in Datang.

Their position is equivalent to one-third of the Datang festival envoys.

Because in the Tang Dynasty, the festival envoy is the military, political and administrative power.

In the Huaxia Kingdom, they only have military, political and administrative powers, which are separated.

The emperor trusts them so much, and at present, the basic conditions of their fifteen administrative provinces are almost the same.

In addition to the south and east, because there are two giant cities left over from the alliance of families, their starting point is slightly higher.

The other thirteen administrative provinces are basically the same.

And as the governors of these administrative provinces, if in the end their administrative provinces develop slower than others, they will really have no face to see at that time.

Now, they have to develop their administrative provinces as quickly as possible.

Of course, the problems they face are also myriad.

First of all, they are facing the problem of a serious shortage of officials.

Not to mention the officials in the cities and counties below and the townships, even the officials in their administrative provinces are seriously insufficient.

If there are not enough officials, it will be difficult to carry out a lot of work.

They have to find someone to work on a temporary basis.

After the imperial court's Enke exam, they were able to assign some officials and supplement them.

Of course, this time, the number of candidates who can be admitted to Enke must be very large.

After all, the number of officials missing now is too much.

However, it is not possible to overflow to the point where you can pass just by applying.

The first Enke exam questions are relatively simple.

Those students of Datang can easily get in.

But the number of exams is afraid that it will not be able to meet such a large gap.

Therefore, the bottom, the position of ordinary officials at the county level, and the position of the township.

There are also those low-level positions, Li Su decided to delegate power to various administrative provinces.

They recruit their own personnel, and they can supplement them by means of recommendation and selection.

Of course, the evaluation of officials is still carried out by the court officials.

If there are a large number of unqualified officials in the officials they select, it proves that there is something wrong with their selection mechanism.

The selection of people has to bear a great responsibility.

Now, because of the severe shortage of talents, Li Su can only adopt the method of combining examination and recommendation to select officials.

After the personnel training mechanism is perfected in the later stage, it is natural that officials will be selected by examination.
