In general, the provincial system of Xingzhongshu replaces the original feudal town system, and its biggest difference is that the original jiedu envoy is the governor of the integration of the local military and government, and the color of division is very strong, some are loyal to the imperial court and pay taxes, and some are not loyal to the imperial court and do not pay taxes; Of course, the reason why this is the case is also due to the willingness of Gao Yue, Du You and even Wei Gao and other Fang Yue to merge the power in their hands with the center of the imperial court: the core of the Xingzhongshu provincial system is "one province and one office", that is, a Xingzhongshu province has only one highest official office, which is managed by the foreign prime minister, and his power in this province is all-encompassing, and all the assassins and county orders are obeyed by him, so as to ensure the centralization of power; In addition, there is one, that is, "temperance officials", although the prime minister of the province of Xingzhongshu has great power, but there are also restrictions, this restriction comes from two aspects, one is that the imperial court will send the official (to participate in the governor's affairs) and him "round discussion", auxiliary at the same time also has the meaning of supervision, the second is that the prime minister of Xingzhongshu Province has a term limit, five or ten years, and then transferred or returned to the court into the "political hall" under the door of Zhongshu, his heirs and subordinates have no right to ask for the festival, and the successor is also finalized by the prime ministers of the political affairs hall.

On the financial side, Lu Zhen said to the emperor:

Since then, the national economy has been divided into three levels, that is, the three divisions of the imperial court are the highest level, the Xingzhongshu province is the second level, and the local prefectures and counties are the third level. The three levels of finance have to publish the "out" and "in" books every year, the two taxes continue to be divided into three products, one product for the "upper supply", one product for the "stay (line in the book) province", and one product for the "stay in the state", the increase over the years, the full amount and the deficit, are checked and reviewed by the three divisions of the imperial court, of course, the emperor's imperial treasury, every year the three divisions will be fixed and punctually allocated, please rest assured.

The provincial military system is divided into two levels, one is the "management of the army", and the first level is the "town army" (some of the Fang towns at the level of the governor of the province of Xingzhongshu, only the town army), the former is equal to the Wuyi army of Huaihai Province, and the fish talisman mobilized by the two armies is directly controlled by the Zhongshu Shilang (or the servant of the door) in Xingzhongshu Province, and others are not allowed to handle it - then the Xuanfu soldiers and horses are responsible for the front-line expedition, and the marching Sima is responsible for weekday drills and logistics, and the power to send troops and transfer troops is all in the hands of the prime minister of Xingzhongshu Province.

This was the beginning of the separation of the military and the government, and Lu Zhen's long-term plan was to organize the Guanjunjun army around Gyeonggi into an army directly under the central government of the imperial court, and the Xingzhongshu Province in the border area would retain the Guanjun army and the Zhenshu army, while the hinterland would simply retain the Zhenshu army in the future, "and today Xiadu Branch and Fangzhen have raised a total of 750,000 troops, and if Xingzhongshu Province implements it for ten years, it is hoped that it can be reduced to 400,000 to 500,000. ”

As for the central organ for managing the army, Lu Zhen said that it is still under discussion.

After the Yanyingdian case, the emperor's heart was like ashes, he knew that the country's prime minister group had abandoned him and began to independently set up an organization that could be central and local, military and political, internal and external.

In addition, the emperor also understood that in the selection of officials, this group of prime ministers has also reached an agreement with local Gao Yue and other powerful factions, and the six grades are still "edicted", and the selection belongs to the Ministry of Officials, but the prime minister of Xingzhongshu Province also has a quota of "selection", which is called "provincial election"; From the fifth grade to the third grade, it will be directly returned to the political hall "Tang Elimination", that is, the prime minister will draw up a list and hand it over to the emperor for approval; And the three products are still recommended by the prime minister as usual, and then "canonized" by the emperor, but at this point, the emperor is often just a stamp.

Although the emperor also has the right to speak and supervise state affairs in the Yanying Palace, this power is already very weak.

The content of the invitation was very long, but with the clear and meticulous explanations of the prime ministers, the emperor could not help but "understand":

In the end, the emperor's hand, as if bitten by a thousand ants, numb, painful, and burning, the tip of the pen trembled in his eyes, and he tried to control it with his sight, but the tip was too thin, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry—when the emperor had finished writing the "Imperial Sun Shadow", he found that his original beautiful calligraphy was actually crooked and distorted.

The emperor put the pen on his back and fell back on the rope bed, his body almost collapsed, how the prime ministers shouted to him long live, his ears could barely hear him, and there he was paralyzed, paralyzed for too long.

When the edict of Xingzhongshu Province was conveyed from the Daming Palace, there was good news at the same time: the emperor accepted the world's Fu Rui and was willing to seal Zen Huayue in the coming year!

After all, if the palace of Daming Palace catches fire for no reason, and Fu Rui dies for no reason, the emperor may have to make an edict.

So the government and the opposition were all happy, hoping that the Holy Emperor's sealing of the Zen could really bring peace to the world.

In the political hall, the prime ministers decided to first implement the "Huaihai Xingzhongshu Province" in Huainan, and then merge Xuanshe, Zhexi and Zhedong to become "Jiangdong Xingzhongshu Province", the latter was upgraded to "Jiangdong Xingzhongshu Province" by Wang Wei, the former observer of western Zhejiang, was promoted to "Jiangdong Xingzhongshu Province's subordinate Shilang Pingzhangshi", and the former Xuanshu observation envoy Liu Zan and Zhedong Observation envoy Li Ruochu were the governors of Jiangdong Province, responsible for Zuo Gong, and the provincial prime minister and the governor of Zhejiang no longer concurrently served as the assassin - Gao Yue's Xingzhongshu Provincial Division structure was set up by Gao Yue himself, and these two provinces were used as experiments. Once it is stable, it will be implemented in the five provinces of Eyue, Shannan East Road, Jingnan, Hunan, Fujian, and Jiangnan West Road.

In the winter, the merger of the provinces of Jiangdong encountered some trouble.

Wang Wei gathered the governor, the governors, and the governors, and the governors, and discussed in the provisional government office of the province, and the first thing was to finalize the location of the "huifu" of the province (in the past, it was called the government and the reason, and the military government and the state government were often combined, and then the central nuclear official office of the province was called the huifu, referred to as the provincial capital) - the history of the Hangzhou thorn said that I have 100,000 households in Hangzhou, and the government should be located in Hangzhou; And Suzhou Thorn history does not do it, he said that the entire Jiangzuo tax I Suzhou bears a lot, should be located in Suzhou; The history of Mingzhou said that the town naval garrison is here, and the largest port is also here, and the meeting should be my Mingzhou; Changzhou Assassin Shi said that you are all fallacies, and the luck to the imperial court is all from my Jingkou, do you still want to stand on your own?

Wang Wei was interested in moving the Jiangfu to Jinling in Shangyuan, Changzhou, but was questioned and opposed by a flock, "Jinling is a place that belongs to unclear, Changzhou is said to be Changzhou, Xuanzhou is said to be Xuanzhou, and it is ambiguous with Hezhou and Chuzhou in Huaihai Province, which is really not embarrassing!" ”

After such a fierce debate for half a month, in the end, it was Wang Wei and Liu Zan and Li Ruochu of Zuo Gong who used their power to make a direct decision: Jiangzuo's provincial capital, and then it was in Jinling Stone City.

However, in Huaihai Province, this kind of argument is impossible, Gao Yue is the sky, and whatever he says is what it is.

Therefore, Gao Yue directly invited Liu Demu, a scholar from the middle school of the court, to come to the governor of the province, and Wu Yuanheng, the former assassin of Caizhou, directly came to the governor of another province!
