Chapter 548: King of Haidong
Duan Da was the emperor's confidant, and like Yuwenshu, he had already followed Yang Guang when he was still the king of Jin. When Yang Guang was crowned king of Jin, Duan Da was his army.
Duan Da was also born in Guanlong, and in the early years when Yang Jian was not the emperor, he was Yang Jian's personal guard governor. Later, Yang insisted on being the emperor, named Yang Guang the king of Jin, and specially authorized him to join the army for the Jin Palace, and Duan Da followed Yang Guang from then on.
To this day, Duan Da also serves as the general of Zuo Yiwei and is very trusted by the emperor, but it is average to lead the army to fight.
However, there is Luo Cheng in Liaodong, a fierce general who can fight well, and the emperor Xuan Duan Da does not want to use him to fight, but he is his confidant for many years and believes in it.
As long as Luo Cheng does not die, the emperor of Liaodong will still be handed over to Luo Chenglai to command, in case Luo Cheng dies, then it will be temporarily taken over by his henchman Duan Dalai.
"Your Majesty, do you want to think about it again if you give Luo the position of staying in Liaodong?" Yu Shiji also spoke.
Staying in this position was not common in the Sui Dynasty, especially in the Daye Dynasty, it was even more unusual.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty of the Sui Dynasty unified the world again, ending the three-hundred-year dispute between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and there were many innovations in its system. For example, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the system of envoys and governors was changed to general control in the Sui Dynasty, and in the Daye Dynasty, the general control was abolished.
The general management system is to set up a general manager in the key places of the border gates, and the general manager will govern the people on the horse and the army, and he will be in charge of both civil and military affairs, and he will have great power. The Sui Dynasty once set up more than 50 governors, which were divided into large governors who ruled dozens of states, middle governors who ruled more than ten states, and small governors who ruled one or two states.
At that time, Yang Guang used to be the governor of Yangzhou, and several of their brothers were all the governors of dozens of states on one side. For example, Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, led dozens of states in the past, had strong capital, and later dared to rebel, and Yang Liang, the king of Shu, was even more in Bashu. Yang Jun, the king of Qin, commanded Longyou.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, the system of dividing the feudal state of the princes of other dynasties was replaced by this kind of chief of the prince's personal control, although the chief governor ruled dozens of states, but it was only an official position, not a fief.
At the beginning of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the princes and grandsons never had a real fiefdom.
After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne and quelled the rebellion of the Han king, this large and small general management system was completely abolished.
With the abolition of the general management system, there was also the Xingtai system in the early Sui Dynasty.
The imperial court set up Xingtai Shang in the local area, the full name of Xingtai Shangfang Province, which is regarded as the dispatched agency of Shangshu Province, and set up officials such as Xingtai Shangshu Order, as well as Shangshu of the Ministry of War, to dominate the region along the way, and have all the great powers such as military, political, civil, and financial affairs, and the power is quite large.
However, this kind of platform is usually only a temporary setting, and it will be abolished when the matter is completed.
After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he never set up Xingtai Province again.
In fact, the establishment of provinces, governors, and governors is also very practical, especially in the border areas, if the civil and military forces are not unified with each other, or even if the states are not unified with each other, it will lead to too much decentralization of power, and in the face of the situation in the border areas, they can deal with it, especially if they encounter enemy invasion and plunder, they can unify defense and counterattack.
The Daye Dynasty also changed the state to set up counties, with more than 190 counties and more than 1,000 counties across the country. The county guards only the herdsmen did not command the army, and the county commander did not care about the government, and greatly engaged in the separation of civil and military, especially in the later period, the government soldiers and the county soldiers were separated, and the county lieutenants were in charge of the government soldiers, and the county was in charge of the county soldiers.
Although this is conducive to stability, it is not conducive to border passes and still less to warfare.
Therefore, in case of war, the emperor generally has to temporarily appoint a general to take charge of the army, and temporarily govern the counties and counties in the war zone.
However, when there is no war, they are still facing the problem of not being subordinate to each other.
So in the past two years, the emperor began to come up with a stay-behind system.
In the eastern capital of Xijing, when the emperor is not there, he will select a grandson or an important minister to serve as a stay, for example, the emperor is not in Daxing all the year round, so there is a Beijing division to stay behind, and the criminal department Shangshu Weiwen is promoted to Jingzhao Neishi, and assists the acting king Yang Yu to stay in Beijing.
Although he spent a lot of time in the eastern capital, he often toured the west, south, and south, and in recent years, he went eastward, so Luoyang was often absent, so the emperor set up the eastern capital to stay.
In addition to these two capital guards, the emperor also set up many palace guards and local guards.
Yang Guang has more than 40 palaces, generally set up palace supervisors, in some important palaces, there are also heavy soldiers, a large number of armor, weapons, money and food, etc., and there are palaces to stay.
For example, when the emperor was on his expedition to the east, he sent Shangshu Zuo Cheng Langmao to stay behind in Jinyang Palace, responsible for taking care of palace affairs, in case the emperor was fortunate next time.
In some important places, local stays are also set up, such as Taiyuan stay, Donglai stay, Jiangdu stay, Pengcheng stay, etc.
This kind of local stay, in fact, is no different from the previous governor or governor, just a change of name, but it is still much more powerful than the county guard, not only can manage the government and civil affairs of one or several counties, but also can govern all the soldiers and horses in it.
This kind of left-behind is actually a permanent official office, not only left-behind, but also deputy left-behind, in addition to a full set of subordinate officials such as Liucao Shen Military, the main book, Changshi, and Sima.
Staying in one place, in charge of the military, civilian, and financial powers of one place.
The emperor granted Luo to become a Liaodong stayer, which is regarded as a new place to stay, and this stayer is undoubtedly more powerful than other places to stay.
Because the emperor said that this Liaodong stayed behind, and was in charge of the eleven counties of Liaodong, Liucheng, Liaoxi, Xincheng, Jian'an, Lushun, Xuansu, Lelang, Daifang, Zhenfan, and Buyeo.
Outside the Linyu Pass, the east of the sea and the land of the eleven counties are all under the jurisdiction of this Liaodong stay-at-home.
Although the five counties of Buyeo, Xuansu, Lelang, Obifang, and Zhenfan are actually still in the hands of the Goguryeo people, they are just ministers, but even if these five counties are removed, the people still have six counties and 100,000 soldiers.
If it were peacetime, it is estimated that the emperor would not easily set up this Liaodong guard. But at this time, the emperor only felt that he owed Luo Cheng a lot, after all, because he listened to Yu Wenshu's slander, he suspected Luo Cheng as a result, and let Yu Wenhua hurt him secretly.
"I don't think there's anything out of place!"
Previously, Luo Cheng served as the ambassador of Liaoxi and Liaodong, but this ambassador was not a permanent position, but only a temporary envoy, once the task was over, he would have to be handed over, and there would be no permanent subordinate officials. But this Liaodong stay is different, Liaodong stay is the same as Liaodong Taishou, this is a permanent yamen permanent position.
According to the official system of the Great Sui, it is a small examination every year, a major examination every three years, called four examinations, the term of office is limited to four examinations, and the examination is suspended by others to take over, if there is no one, it will be replaced, and after five examinations, it must be suspended and appointed to another position.
According to this system, the normal term of office of an official is three years, that is, after three small examinations and one major examination, if there is no one to take over, then at most he can stay in office for another year, and after four years, he must be reappointed to another post, if there is no suitable official position to be awarded, then he can only be suspended from office to be awarded.
Of course, if you perform particularly well in the assessment, you may also be promoted in advance, or if you are particularly bad in the assessment, you will be dismissed if you are not appointed.
But under normal circumstances, it is a three-year term.
Let Luo Cheng serve in Liaodong for three years, who knows what will become of it, after all, one person controls six counties and commands 100,000 soldiers.
But the emperor sometimes likes to touch his hair, he only listens to what he wants to hear, and he can't listen to anything else you say.
For example, now, he completely ignored the hints of the prime ministers, and was determined to grant Luo to become a Liaodong guard.
The old prime minister Su Wei has been silent, he has already seen through the emperor's temperament, so he is too lazy to waste that saliva, and secretly thinks in his heart, this Luo Cheng has become the king of Haidong now.
