Chapter 452: I Know
Regardless of the era or regime, military power is an extremely sensitive topic, first of all, the mind of the ruler, and secondly, the separation of civil and military officials.
Let's not mention the thoughts of emperors like Li Xuan, just talk about the confrontation between civil officials and military attachΓ©s, this kind of confrontation has been extremely serious since ancient times, regardless of whether it is Chinese or foreign, and it is very rare to hear of any political regime where civil and military officials can live in harmony.
Later, after the Meiji Restoration, Japan and modern America were all quite antagonistic!
Even within the military, the antagonism between the arms is just as serious!
Now that someone in the Ministry of Taxation has proposed to set up a tax inspection corps, and it is still 2,000 people in size, and the equipment is the same as that of the regular army, if this matter is exposed, it is estimated that many generals in the military will have considerable opinions!
Nowadays, in the Tang Dynasty, whether it is a regular or auxiliary military force, it is actually related to the military, not to mention the regular army and the garrison army, even if it is a robbery hunting camp on the ground, it is also the dual leadership of the military and the internal patrol department, especially when it comes to combat tasks, it is basically commanded by the military in person, but it is not said that the patrol police department has the power to command alone.
Today's tax inspection team in the Ministry of Taxation has caused dissatisfaction among some members of the military, but today's tax inspection team is relatively small and scattered, and at the same time, it is not involved in detailed operational affairs.
However, the Ministry of Taxation now wants to set up a formal armed force such as the Tax Inspection Corps on its own, and this kind of thing is intolerable on the military side.
In fact, not only the military, but even Li Xuan himself felt that it was not suitable.
Although there was a Song Ziwen's tax police corps in later generations, it was a time of warlord melee, but it was just such a separate example.
Moreover, the Ministry of Taxation belongs to the Cabinet, and in the final analysis, it belongs to the civil and bureaucratic system, and if the Ministry of Taxation has set up a tax inspection corps, then the separation of civil and military affairs that Li Xuan has always insisted on is tantamount to a joke.
This example must not be opened!
I opened the report, and then I typed a big Γ and wrote a comment: "Not allowed! β
After thinking about it, he added: "All organs under the cabinet are not allowed to prepare for the army in the future, and this is a permanent rule!" β
Li Xuan doesn't plan to speak, and he doesn't even open his mouth to future generations!
Otherwise, today the Ministry of Taxation will come to a tax inspection corps, tomorrow the patrol police department should come to a patrol police corps, the day after tomorrow there will also be an inspection corps from the Inspectorate, and the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Agriculture and other departments will come to one, wouldn't it be chaotic!
The formal and auxiliary military forces in the Tang Dynasty must belong to the Privy Council!
Even the Guards that Li Xuan planned to rebuild were no exception!
The Guards that Li Xuan intends to rebuild, although it is said to be a guard force directly under the emperor, will also be placed under the Privy Council, why?
Because the Guards are actually the same as the army, garrison army, robbery camp, etc., all of which are armed forces that only belong to Li Xuan, Li Xuan, the emperor, is the supreme commander of the Privy Council, and the Privy Council does not have positions such as presidents and vice presidents, and the highest is the directors of various departments.
The particularity of the Guards is that the Guards are responsible for the personal safety of the emperor and the royal family, acting as a guard force, which is different from the regular army and the garrison army in the army system, but in essence, it is still part of the military composition of the Tang Dynasty.
After writing down the annotations, Li Xuan looked at the name on the fold again, and after a little deliberation for half a minute, he darkened the bell on the table, and then outside the door was a waiter from the Hanlin Academy.
Li Xuan said: "Let Qian Qili from the Ministry of Taxation come in the afternoon!" β
Qian Aoli, the former director of the grain collection department of the tax department of the Tang Dynasty, the current Zuo Shilang of the tax department, and the second-in-command of the entire Tang tax system, is the one who proposed the tax inspection team.
The attendants of the Hanlin Academy wrote it down and went out, while Li Xuan re-reviewed the other chapters, and the rest of the things were still big and small, and Li Xuan's speed of reviewing the pieces was always extremely fast!
Except for some special things, most of them are simply annotated with the word 'read', and if you read and write more, you will occasionally change 'know'.
Of course, for some more important things, he will also leave a few more words or a few lines of annotations, such as Sun Yawei, the prefect of Liping Mansion, who reported that after the battle of Liping Mansion, the people's livelihood withered, homeless, and there were many people without rations, and he asked the imperial court to give some money and food to help the victims.
In this regard, Li Xuan's annotation is: I have read, all departments of the cabinet should provide relief as soon as possible to prevent changes in the livelihood of the disaster, and the relief should be based on work for revitalization, and the Inspectorate should also inspect hundreds of officials to strictly prevent officials from embezzling disaster relief money and food, if there is a offender, the crime will be increased by three degrees!
There is also a twist and turn sent back by Ma Wei, in addition to talking about the situation in Liuzhou Mansion, he also patted Li Xuan and asked Li Xuan if the dragon body is healthy, the weather is already cold, Your Majesty, as the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, must wear more clothes to take care of the dragon body and so on.
Li Xuan commented: I am safe, it is a cold winter, and I should help the people of Liuzhou to survive the winter safely, so that there are frozen bones on the road, so I am safe!
After reading such a recital, I didn't know it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon!
In fact, Li Xuan didn't have much time to review the recitals every day, because there was a Hanlin Academy under him, and these Hanlin people had actually approved all the recitals except for the secret folds in advance, and they would also make summaries of some relatively long recitals for Li Xuan to see.
Then recently, with more and more concerts, Li Xuan also began to delegate a certain amount of power to the Hanlin Academy of Hanlin Academy, that is, in addition to military affairs, when the Hanlin people reviewed the music in advance, they would take the first step to make a preliminary handling opinion, and use blue banknotes to sandwich the movement, if Li Xuan felt that the processing opinions submitted by the Hanlin Academy could be used, he would generally choose it directly, if he was not satisfied, he would directly return to the redraft, or simply Li Xuan would make a decision directly.
For example, in the above-mentioned Sun Yawei's recital, in addition to the two sentences approved by Li Xuan, the Hanlin attendant who was in charge of this recital also made two detailed treatment plans, and the whole plan was sprinkled with hundreds of words, basically giving treatment opinions, including relief to the victims, where to collect money and food, how to supervise the inspectorate, how to deal with the displaced people, and so on
Otherwise, Li Xuan would not be able to deal with the twists and turns that he kept submitting every day!
However, in order to prevent the Hanlin Yuan from exceeding its authority, Li Xuan strictly stipulated that the Hanlin Yuan could not intercept or change any fold, and it must be submitted in the original text.
At the same time, the final decision must be made by Li Xuan, the emperor, himself!
In other words, the Hanlin Yuan only proposed a preliminary solution to Li Xuan, and often asked for more than two at the same time, but only Li Xuan himself really had the right to make a decision, and the Hanlin Yuan did not have the power to make a decision.
Li Xuan's positioning for the Hanlin Academy has always been very clear, that is, a secretarial body used to reduce the workload here, rather than a power body that can make any decisions!
But recently, he also felt that some of the Hanlin people in the Hanlin Academy were always a little less capable, and many times the proposed handling opinions were unsatisfactory to him.
For this reason, he is already preparing to carry out a certain reform of the Hanlin Academy, and continue to subdivide the various departments in the Hanlin Academy, expanding to 28 large and small sections, including military, civil affairs and other affairs, and the section chiefs of these sections are also ready to be transferred from some capable and practical middle-level officials of the Tang Dynasty.
And in order to prevent these section chiefs of the Hanlin Academy from having too much power, he stipulated that all section chiefs, deputy section chiefs and even ordinary staff members who served in the Hanlin Academy should not serve for more than three years, and after three years, they were not allowed to stay in Beijing if they were reassigned to other positions, and they must go to the local government to take up their posts, and they could return to Beijing to take up their posts after three years, and they could serve in the Hanlin Academy for the second time after six years.
At the same time, it is stipulated that no internal promotion is allowed in the Hanlin Academy, that is to say, the ordinary staff members in the Hanlin Academy cannot be directly promoted to the deputy section chief and section chief within the Hanlin Academy.
At the same time, it is also strictly stipulated that those who are in the Hanlin are not allowed to make friends with foreign officials, but those who have too close contacts with foreign officials will be dealt with strictly.
And those who leak the contents of the recital without permission will raid their homes!
Those who leak the content of the military affairs chapter without permission will be punished by the nine clans!
In addition, there are many large and small systems specially designed to limit the power of the Hanlin Academy, there are hundreds of them, and in summary, this prohibition is also prohibited, Li Xuan is eager for them to do nothing except review the chapters, and it is best to be directly imprisoned in an airtight prison.
Well, in fact, he really did this, and the Hanlin Courtyard was set up next to the temporary operation, and there was a guard battalion in charge of guarding it, and no one was allowed to enter or leave except for the Hanlin people.
On the one hand, Li Xuan delegated power to the Hanlin Academy, but on the other hand, he also put layers of shackles on the Hanlin Academy, making them dance with shackles, in order to prevent the deterioration of the secretarial institution of the Hanlin Academy.
The Hanlin Academy that Li Xuan made out is very different from the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty and the military aircraft department of the Qing Dynasty, first of all, the biggest difference is that they actually don't have any decision-making power!
All the decisions are in Li Xuan's hands, and what they have is the right to suggest!
Moreover, there is no difference between Hanlin and Hanlin, each department is only responsible for one aspect of the content, even if it is a department responsible for the military, Li Xuan is divided into as many as seven.
The reason why there are so many departments of the Hanlin Academy is to divide and rule, so as to prevent the power of a certain department from being too great.
Because even if it is the right to suggest, this kind of power is also great for a feudal dynasty, and Li Xuan has to guard against it!
After processing the recital, Huo Shouqi, a scholar at the Hanlin Academy, walked in, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, most of the people who came to face the saint outside have already arrived!" β
Li Xuan said: "Has Qian Qili arrived?" β
Huo Shouqi said: "Master Qian has arrived, just wait outside!" β
Li Xuan sighed, and then said, "Let him in!" β
Li Xuan wanted to see Qian Aoli, naturally not to prepare for the establishment of any tax inspection corps, that matter is unreliable, because it involves the separation of civil and military and military affairs.
Li Xuan wanted to see him, but it was for other things!
