Ma Yun became the king on the surface, because he was rough inside and outside, and the four seas were peaceful, and his dependence on Ma Xifan, the king of Chu, had been reduced a lot. In essence, it is the result of the deepening of the reform of the officialdom of Dachu. After the Changsha Mutiny, although the king of Chu hastily issued an edict to rebuild the vassal system and set up high-level official positions such as the left and right ministers, he did not do much to the middle and low-level officials.

The reason is that Ma Yun listened to Zhao Pu's suggestion, and this official reform is an opportunity to buy people's hearts and show his power. If Ma Xifan appoints middle and low-level officials when he is in power, then these people will be more or less grateful to Ma Xifan, but after Ma Yun became the king, appointing these officials will undoubtedly send a signal: You are all appointed by me, you will all be reused by me, and I am the only object of your allegiance. The vast majority of these people will stand on the boat of Ma Yun, instead of being sandwiched between the king Ma Xifan and the prince Ma Yun, swinging back and forth. Ma Xifan's prestige is still there, and if he becomes the king of Chu for a day, he will have the opportunity to regain power, and Ma Yun can only stay in Changsha and watch out for any changes in the officials.

Rather than this, it is better to choose a great time, hurry up and become the king, and personally appoint these officials. Before the enthronement ceremony, Ma Yun hurriedly summoned Xu Zhongya, Tuoba Heng, Fan Zhen, Li Xiang, Zhao Pu, Wang Yun and others to discuss how to carry out personnel transfers.

It's also simple to say, on the Wenchen side, according to the Tang system, it is Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, and they are in charge of the formulation, deliberation and correction of major national policies. The unit at the same level as Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province is Shangshu Province, that is, the Criminal Department, the Household Department, the Officials Department, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War. Shangshu Province generally does not set up Shangshu Orders (because Li Shimin served as Shangshu Order, the Tang Dynasty left this official position to Li Shimin forever, of course, ^_^ sometimes as a fictitious title to reward ministers), but to the Ministry of Shangshu. Corresponding to the six ministries of the three provinces, there are the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Imperial Historical Observatory (the name is different in different periods), which is responsible for the clean government work of hundreds of officials.

In line with the concept of establishing a conservation-oriented society, Ma Yun merged Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province to become Zhongshu Menxia Province, with the first and second grade officials formulating policies, and the petty officials of the sixth and seventh grades impeaching and correcting mistakes. People with small official positions do not mean that their heads are bad, but because of their small official positions, these people don't care too much about this official, but it is possible to tell the truth and do practical things, and it is a good idea for them to correct their mistakes. The governor of this Zhongshu Menxia Province, the imperial court of the Central Plains called it Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, but our Great Chu is a vassal state, and it is a bit uncontrolled and discordant to call this, so Ma Yun set it to the left and right. The left phase is positive, and the right phase is secondary. Invite the Jingjiang military festival to make Ma Xiyin serve as the left minister, and Xu Zhongya and Fan Zhen as the right minister. First, there are too few people in Ma Yun's sleeves, and secondly, it is also a signal to use people for the public, so Xu Zhongya served as the secretary of the ministry again, Fan Zhen served as the secretary of the household department, Zhao Pu was naturally the secretary of the criminal department, Liu Zhaoyu, one of the eighteen bachelors, was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, He Zhongju, one of the eighteen bachelors, was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Wu Ban was the waiter of the Ministry of Industry. As for the military aspect, Ma Yun revoked his own internal and external military affairs, which is similar to the title of commander-in-chief, and established the Privy Council, which consists of seven major divisions: the Arsenal Division, the Military Horse Division, the Soldier Division, the Inspection Division, the Staff Division, the Navy Supervisor, and the Intelligence Division, with the general Wang Yun as the Privy Council envoy, and Liu Yantao and Li Xiang as the privy deputy envoys. At the same time, the official title of Jiedu envoy was formally abolished, and it was set up at the local level, Jingzhou Road, Langzhou Road, Tanzhou (Changsha) Road, Guizhou Road, and Wuzhou Road.

After discussing these, Ma Yun and others discussed the affairs of the scientific expedition. As for the imperial examination, Ma Yun is in line with the idea of reducing talents without sticking to one pattern, under the division of civil and military disciplines, the liberal arts are divided into many items such as poetry, articles, and skills, and the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty is varied, unlike the Ming and Qing dynasties, the civil service examination of the imperial examination has the only designated textbook in the country - four books and five classics, and the only designated format - eight strands.

Waste to be revived, these people are full of energy, from personnel to the imperial examination, from the imperial examination to the administration, before you know it, it will be evening, Ma Yun looked at the sky, and said with a smile: "The state affairs are heavy, you have worked, today we have discussed about the same, tomorrow waiting for the ceremony to be held, in accordance with today's agreement, to promulgate the edict." It's getting late, so after you have dinner with me, let's go back to rest early. ”

"My lord, is there one more thing that has not been discussed?" Xu Zhongya said slowly, looking like a group of ministers. Although Ma Xiyin is the left minister, everyone knows what Ma Yun means by this arrangement, when Ma Xifan, the king of Chu, was in power, the brothers of the old Ma family had a lot of official positions, and they couldn't come to Ma Yun, how could they do it without a few characters from the old Ma family? Isn't this a rumor of discord between Ma Yun and the Ma clan to the outside world? So Ma Xiyin became the left minister, but this left minister is definitely just a brand, without any real power, so isn't he Xu Zhongya one of the ministers? When you become a prime minister, you naturally have to take the relevant responsibilities. He saw that Ma Yun had some omissions, and hurriedly said.

Ma Yun thought about it carefully, military and government affairs, there is nothing missing? He glanced at Xu Zhongya suspiciously.

Xu Zhongya said with a smile: "King, you have already married, and when you become king, you will naturally be crowned queen." "It stands to reason that this matter is obvious, Princess Mingle is being married by Ma Yun Mingmei, and Zhao Ziying can only be regarded as an adulterer, but Zhao Ziying and Ma Yun have a deep relationship, they are pregnant, and Ma Xifan has also canonized her, even if she recognizes the status of Zhao Ziying's daughter-in-law. In this matter, although there is a ** to canonize Zhao Ziying, but this Princess Mingle has a backstage, it is better to ask Ma Yun in person.

Sure enough, Ma Yun smiled and said, "What else should I do?" It turned out that it was for the queen's business, so Ziying was canonized as the queen. ”

When these words came out, Xu Zhongya was relieved. Zhao Pu was relieved, because of Qiao Niang's relationship, Zhao Ziying became the queen, and he couldn't help but support it. Fan Zhen, Wang Yun and others have an indifferent attitude. For the sake of Ma Yun's private marriage, Tuoba Heng was not less subject to the rectification of the King of Chu, which made him somewhat complain about Zhao Ziying, but at this moment, he couldn't clash with the future queen or even the future prince for this little thing, so Tuoba Heng didn't say anything. Only Li Xiang wanted to speak and stopped.

Ma Yun's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly saw Li Xiang's expression, he was in a good mood at this time, so he asked casually: "Mr. Li, do you have anything else to say?" ”

With Ma Yun's prompt, everyone looked at Li Xiang for a moment. Li Xiang is the best of the best, he immediately knew that Ma Yun had misunderstood what he meant, and he wanted to admonish Ma Yun in private, but as soon as Ma Yun said this, he had to admonish him in public. He smiled and said: "The spirit of the Great King Dragon Horse, the Ancient Ming Jun is nothing more than that. Why not follow the example of Da Shun, Empress E's heroic effect in the front? Based on strategic considerations, Li Xiang wanted to suggest that Princess Mingle be the queen temporarily, but Ma Yun and Zhao Ziying have a very good relationship, and they are in public, and Zhao Pu is present, how dare he say bluntly, not Ziying, only Princess Mingle is thick.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Pu didn't have any reaction, but Tuoba Heng stood up and said, "Lord Li is wrong. Since Confucius ruled etiquette and music, the people of the world have understood defeat. One king and one queen, like a day and a month, the harmony of yin and yang is a custom for thousands of years. How can you trample on it wantonly and make the world laugh? In the past thousand years, it is not that there is no one king and more queens, but most of them are Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yu Wenyun and others, pretentious and absurd, how can the king emulate those people! ”

Ma Yun is not a fool, as soon as Li Xiang said this, he immediately understood what Li Xiang meant, what is the second queen, this Li Xiang obviously wants to make Princess Mingle the queen. He understood Li Xiang's intentions, Princess Mingle was Li Jing's beloved daughter after all, and letting her be the queen could not only avoid Li Tang's possible accusations against Great Chu, but also further ease the relationship between Chu and Tang. The state of Chu needs one to two years of peace to straighten out its internal affairs, and if at this time, Chu and Tang are out of harmony because of the moment, it will be a bit troublesome. However, how can Ma Yun forget Zhao Ziying's deep friendship? And if he became the king of Chu, if he even had to be wronged by his own woman, then what did it mean?

Ma Yun saw that Zhao Pu was about to speak, waved his hand to stop him, and said: "This matter, there is no need to discuss it anymore, just canonize Ziying as the queen and Princess Mingle as the princess. Ma Yun gave Li Xiang a step and asked him to draft an edict to show favor to Ziying, so as not to have any pimples in the hearts of the two.

The next day, Ma Yun led a hundred officials into the Anzheng Hall of the Chu Palace, and the King of Chu officially issued an edict to let the king be located in Ma Yun. Ma Yun hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and retreated again and again, before he reluctantly walked to the high throne and knelt on the ground, Ma Xifan, the king of Chu, took a new crown from the hand of the great eunuch Liu Yan who was standing and brought it to Ma Yun with his own hands, and then let Ma Yun sit on the new throne on the left side of the throne and accept the worship of hundreds of officials. After the ceremony, Ma Yun led hundreds of officials to kneel to send Ma Xifan, the king of Chu.

After Ma Xifan left, Ma Yun returned to the throne in the middle, and accepted the worship of hundreds of officials again, after the ceremony, Ma Yun waved his hand, and the great eunuch Zhang Shun on the side unfolded an edict, and read it out loudly, there were five copies of the edict, the first was to praise the great leader Ma Xifan, by the way, to the hundred officials, to express the message of his governance, and the second was to give Ma Xifan the honorific title; The third is to proclaim Jinghu and prepare to open a branch to take scholars, the fourth is to announce the officialdom and take over the official position, and the fifth is to canonize the queen.

After reading it, the hundred officials called Chitose again, but they were secretly digesting the content of the edict.
