"Your Highness, please get up!" Zhao Zhe said with a smile.

The person in front of him is Duan Heyu, the lord of Dali Kingdom, and it can also be called Duan Yu! The lord of Dali is the emperor of Dali, in Dali, people call him "Your Majesty", but now that the city of Dali is broken, Duan Heyu is no longer the lord of Dali, but the king of Zhennan of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhe then called him His Royal Highness!

He helped Duan Heyu up personally, and summoned everyone next to him to get up together.

Among them, there are two elderly monks, who are brothers Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun! Both of them had wrinkled faces, and their eyes were not as bright as those of young people.

The two of them seemed to be very haggard, and their faces gave people a sense of "bitterness".

Forty years ago, Gao forced Dali Emperor Duan Shouhui to abdicate and become a monk, and then supported Duan Zhengming to succeed him and change the name of the year to Baoding! However, Duan Zhengming has only been on the throne for ten years, and the Gao family forced Duan Zhengming to abdicate and become a monk, and the Zen position was the same as Gao Shengtai, the head of the Gao family at that time!

After Gao Shengtai's death, Gao Taiming became the head of the Gao family, returned the throne to the Duan family, and supported Duan Zhengchun as the emperor!

It's just that Duan Zhengchun has only been the emperor for ten years, and Gao Taiming once again forced Duan Zhengchun to abdicate and become a monk, and supported Duan Zhengchun's son Duan He as the lord of Dali!

The lord of a country, even if it is a small country like Dali, it is also supreme glory and supreme power, if it is not a last resort, who wants to become a monk from the emperor? There are twenty-two lords in the history of Dali, nine of them are monks, most of these nine are monks after the Gao family took power, before the Gao family, the lord of Dali did not have a monk halfway.

Even if Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun are monks, they are still under the supervision of the Gao family, which is equivalent to house arrest, and they have lived like this for decades, it is not difficult to imagine that they have a bitter face!

Including Duan Heyu, it also gives people a sense of bitterness! Although Duan Heyu is the lord of Dali, he has never been able to leave the palace since he ascended the throne! There were envoys from the Great Song Dynasty and Tubo who came to Dali, and they also went to see the head of the Gao family first, and then they could only meet the lord of Dali after the consent of the head of the Gao family!

In fact, Duan Heyu is still the "Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, Yunnan Jiedu Envoy, Shangzhu State, and Dali King" enshrined by Song Huizong, but unfortunately these are just meaningless titles.

At this moment, Duan Heyu stood up, he looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt that the sky was incomparably blue, as if it had never been so blue! He hasn't left the palace for more than ten years, he hasn't come to the palace gate! After ten years under house arrest, he knew that this time he was truly liberated!

For a while, Duan Heyu couldn't help but burst into tears!

Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun were also emotional, and their eyes gradually became moist.

"General, I don't know how the Great Song Dynasty will settle my Dali Duan clan's people?" Duan Zhengming thought for a while and said.

"King Zhennan is going to Yanjing to meet His Majesty, and after that, King Zhennan is afraid that he will stay in Yanjing City for a long time! As for the two of you, you can continue to be monks in Tianlong Temple, and if you want, you can also return to the world! In the future, you can go everywhere like ordinary Dali people, and you can also go to Yanjing, that is to say, you are completely free! Zhao Zhe said with a smile.

"Really?" Duan Zhengming was still incredulous.

"Nature is true! But there's one more thing you need to do before that! Zhao Zhe said.

"I don't know what it is? General, though! Duan Zhengming said.

"There are many Yi tribes in Dali, you have to help us pacify these Yi tribes and let them take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Zhedao.

"General rest assured! This is what I promised Da Song before Dali Duan's family, so naturally I Da Song will do it! Duan Zhengming said.

"As long as you are at ease and be the king of Zhennan of the Great Song Dynasty and the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, you can be glorious and rich forever! This Dali Palace is still yours, and the property inside is also yours, and we will not take it away. Zhao Zhe said with a smile.

"Thank you, General! Rest assured, general, we will never have two hearts! Duan Zhengming smiled bitterly.

In fact, the Dali Duan clan has no power at all except for some members of the royal family! They don't have their own direct subordinates at all, and none of the civil and military ministers of Dali obey them, otherwise they wouldn't have become puppets.

The Dali Duan clan has suffered so much, and now they can be free and rich, and they are very satisfied in their hearts!

"How is the Great Song Dynasty going to govern Dali?" Everyone walked towards the palace, Duan He said.

"In the future, Dali will become a province of the Great Song Dynasty, His Majesty will appoint officials here, and the system here will be the same as other places in the Great Song Dynasty." Zhao Zhedao.

"Provincial?" Duan Heyu said curiously.

"Not bad! Now in Yanjing City, His Majesty and the ministers of the DPRK and China are discussing this matter! The Great Song Dynasty was vast, with thousands of miles in the north, south, east and west, and His Majesty wrote to me to divide the world into many provinces to administer the world. Zhao Zhe said.

He was talking to these people from the Duan clan in Dali, but his mind had already flown to the sky.

In the south there is another country, and its name is Annam!

At this moment, Zhao Zhe is thinking about Annan!

Annam is the Vietnam of later generations! Its relationship with China is known from its name! Annan is taken from the meaning of "stable south"! Historically, even after the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty did not officially recognize the independent status of Annam! It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that Song Xiaozong "gave the country the name of Annan and named Li Tianzuo, the king of Nanping, as the king of Annan", and in this era, such a thing is obviously impossible to happen! From top to bottom in the Central Plains, no one thinks that Annam belongs to an independent country!

From the Qin Dynasty, it was the territory of China! Until now, dynasties have changed constantly, and for more than a thousand years, they all belong to China! At the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Annan suddenly split and declared independence, and it was impossible for the people of the Central Plains to admit such a thing!

In the past, the Great Song Dynasty had insufficient troops to recover Annan, but now they have enough troops and combat power!

"What is the general thinking?" Seeing that Zhao Zhe was a little distracted, Duan Heyu couldn't help but understand.

"I'm thinking about the war in the South." Zhao Zhe smiled and said.

"War in the South? Is there still war in the South? Duan Heyu was surprised.

"Soon! There will be war in the South! Zhao Zhe said.

In Zhao Zhe's view, the war in Annam is much more important than the war in Goryeo! Because Annam is different from Goryeo, Annam is a part of China and must not be lost, while Goryeo is divided and merged, and in a sense it is a truly independent country! What belongs to you, you must take it back!

"Big brother, I don't know what the situation in Yanjing City is now? I'm afraid that the imperial court will have to make a big change this time! Zhao Wu followed behind Zhao Zhe in a military uniform and said.

"Don't worry, everything will get better and better!" Zhao Zhedao.

******

In Yanjing City, these days, Zhao Chen and the ministers of civil and military affairs have been discussing the fundamental system of the country.

It was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and late at night, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks was constantly heard outside, and in the palace administration hall, everyone was still sitting together to discuss state affairs.

Outside, an attendant brought in the food, and the discussion continued after dinner.

It wasn't until the time of the child that the "Outline of the King James Constitution" was finally formulated!

The highest authority of the country is the Government Council, the National Assembly, and the Supreme Court, with the Government Council in charge of power, the National Assembly having legislative power, and the Supreme Court having the highest judicial power! The three were independent of each other, did not interfere with each other, and all three were united in their allegiance to the emperor.

Of course, the legislative power of the National Assembly is only nominal, and many ministers of civil and military affairs have not yet realized the importance of legislative power, including members of the National Assembly.

The emperor is the supreme ruler of the country, the supreme commander of the army, and the highest symbol of the country, the prime minister of the government is the emperor's assistant and assists the emperor in exercising political power, and the speaker and the supreme judge are the emperor's advisers.

The Government Council is divided into ten ministries, and the weight of the ten ministries is also different!

The Prime Minister will serve a term of five years, and he cannot be re-elected for more than two terms! The same is true for the Speaker and the judges of the Supreme Court, who are elected for a term of five years and cannot be re-elected for more than two terms!

Cancel the original 23 roads, and the world is divided into 36 provinces!

The governors of the 36 provinces are accountable to the Government Council and appointed by the Government Council!

In addition to the emperor, the vassal kings, officials, and common people of the world have the same status! The government is to serve the people, not to sit on the people and enjoy the blessings! Of course, these seem to be empty words in this era, but Zhao Chen still wrote them in the outline of the King James Constitution.

By the time it was the 17th day of the first lunar month, the prime minister and the ministers of the ministries were decided! Wang Shu is still the prime minister, and Zhao Ding, Zhao Guang, Qin Hui, Yu Yunwen, Hu Quan, Wang Shipeng and others are ten ministers respectively!

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, the ministers of the thirty-six provinces were confirmed!

A quarter of the 36 provincial ministers are former military aircraft department Zhang Jing, a quarter are from the army, retired from the army, a quarter are from the production and construction corps, and a quarter are former ministers!

So far, most of the ministers, including the Government Council and the 36 provincial ministers, are Zhao Chen's descendants, and the whole country is completely under Zhao Chen's control! In the past, many of the 23 Xuanfu envoys in the world were former ministers, but now except for a few people, most of them are officials promoted by Zhao Chen since he succeeded to the throne.

Provincial councils also need to be established in the provinces, and Zhao Chen gave five to ten years! The provinces also have provincial courts, which are relatively independent and not subject to the jurisdiction of the government.
