On the twelfth day of the first month of the first year of Shangyuan, Zhao Ziliang convened officials and generals from both the military and political sides of the Western Qin Dynasty to hold a military and political meeting in the Western Qin Jiedu Embassy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Since Zhao Ziliang led the army back to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion, the Jiedu Embassy is no longer working, but as the residence of Zhao Ziliang's family.
In the lobby, the officials and generals greeted each other, greeted each other, and were very lively, some people were discussing the main topics of the military and political conference, many people set off ten days ago, and now they have only arrived here, judging from the content of the notice, this military and political meeting is related to the changes in the political situation and military system in Western Qin in the future, and some people are even worried that there will be a large political turmoil, after all, Zhao Ziliang has not been there for so many years, and he is only afraid that he will not be able to control the situation, so he wants to remove a group of people, and there are not a few people who have this kind of speculation.
"The king has arrived—" A shout came, and Zhao Ziliang walked out from behind the screen wearing a royal robe, a gold crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and cloud boots on his feet.
The name of the King of Western Qin is not an ordinary prince and vassal king, it is a real feudal king, the highest ruler of Western Qin, can open a government and appoint officials on his own, plus Zhao Ziliang has the title of general of the expedition to the West, the Western Qin side does not need to ask the Tang Dynasty to conquer independently, although Xuanzong's holy decree does not explicitly say that the Western Qin can establish a country on its own, but everyone knows that the Western Qin has become a country of its own, but nominally it is still under the jurisdiction of the Tang Empire.
The officials and generals stood on both sides of the fist and arched their hands, bent down and bowed together, and shouted: "Welcome to the king, Chitose, Chitose!" ”
Zhao Ziliang said as he walked over: "It always feels awkward to hear this! ”
"Hahaha・・・・・・ "Everyone is an outsider from time to time, and when they hear Zhao Ziliang say this, they can't help laughing.
"In the future, I don't want to call it a thousand years old, if I really live a thousand years old, I'm afraid that some people will say that I won't die of old age!" After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he sat down on the throne and pressed his hand: "It's all exempt!" ”
The officials stood back in place one after another, the lobby of the embassy was not very large, there were many people who came this time, and there were not so many chairs, and it was inconvenient to move around and perform things after the chairs were placed, so the officials and generals were standing.
Zhao Ziliang looked at everyone and said: "This time I brought you here, there are three main things, the most important thing is, of course, the matter of opening the palace and building the government, since I have been canonized as the king of the Western Qin by the first emperor, this palace is also under construction, and the matter of opening the palace and building the government is also to be started, and after the completion of the opening of the palace and the construction of the government, the Western Qin Jiedu Embassy only retains the name, and does not have the matter of exercising military and political functions, and all military and political affairs in the West Qin will belong to the court of the Western Qin in the future!" Cen Shen, you will give you a general description of the charter and structure of the opening of the government! ”
"Yes, King!" Cen Shen agreed, took out a book of folds, stood up, opened it, looked at it, and said to everyone: "Set the royal court as the supreme ruling body of Western Qin, and the lord of the royal court is the king of Western Qin canonized by the emperor of the Tang Empire, that is, the king!" set up a secretary of the royal court to assist the king in handling military and political documents and palm seals; Under the royal court, the government affairs yuan was set up to deal with the affairs of the Western Qin, the military machinery institute was set up to deal with the military affairs of the Western Qin, the judicial temple was set up to deal with the judicial prison, the Jinyi guard was set up to deal with the violations of law and discipline by officials, and the Dadu Protectorate was set up to deal with the affairs of the Fan clans in various places! These two hospitals, a temple, a guard, and a government are not subordinate to each other, and each has its own responsibilities! These are the five highest functional yamen under the royal court, you can raise any doubts you have, and the lower officials will answer them on the spot! ”
Liu Wei stood up and arched his hand: "Lord Cen, since ancient times, the affairs of this judicial prison have been handled by local officials, how can the judicial prison be independent alone?" ”
Cen Shen said: "According to the king's meaning, this is to reduce the burden of the main officials in various places, the main administrative officials in various places have to manage both political affairs and prison sentences, it is too tiring, in the future, the county orders and Taishou only need to be responsible for local government affairs, no longer need to worry about judicial judgment and prison, this matter is responsible for the judicial temple, if there is a case and lawsuit in various places, the local administrative officials shall not interfere!" Do you still have doubts? ”
"This means that if there is a murder case or other cases, the Judicial Temple is responsible for investigating and adjudicating the case?"
Cen Shen shook his head and said, "Definitely! The law of our Western Qin Dynasty adopts the "Tang Law", and the judicial temple is only responsible for trial and prison, while detective, detective, arrest, interrogation of prisoners, search for evidence, and local security are responsible for the patrol room under the local county government or government office! Have more questions? ”
Everyone was silent, and everyone understood that the verdict and the prison were separated from the local government, and only the arrest was still in the hands of the local officials.
Cen Shen continued: "The Government Council has the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister as the chief ministers, and the Prime Minister oversees the government affairs of the Western Qin Dynasty, and the Second Minister assists them. It consists of the Household Division, the Rite Division, the Industrial Division, the Officials Division, the Commercial Division, etc.! ”
"The Military Aircraft Institute has a marshal of soldiers and horses, and the marshal of soldiers and horses is appointed by the king, who controls all the soldiers and horses of the Western Qin, and it consists of the General Division, the Operations Division, the Training Division, the Equipment and Logistics Division, the Military Justice Division, the Resettlement and Pension Division, the East Factory, the West Factory, etc.!"
"The Judicial Temple has one main prison and four deputy prisons, and it has a criminal department, a civil department, a prison department, a lawsuit department, and a complaint department!"
"Jinyi Wei has one commander and two deputy envoys, and it consists of the North Ya, the South Ya and the internal guard, the North Ya is in charge of supervising the impeachment, the South Ya is in charge of arrest and interrogation, and the internal guard is in charge of the rebellion!"
"The Dadu Protectorate has a capital protector, which is served by the king himself, and it consists of the Fan Clan Affairs Division, the Fan Clan Soldiers and Horses Division, the Clan Sect Division, etc.!"
After reading it, Cen looked at everyone and said: "This is the main administrative law enforcement functional agency of the central court of the royal court, and the subdivisions below still need to be further improved after the arrival of the chief official!" ”
Zhao Ziliang asked, "Is there anything else you don't understand?" ”
An official asked: "Your Majesty, since there is a judicial temple responsible for judicial prison and trial, why do you have to set up a brocade guard?" Isn't that duplication of functions? ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "The patrol is set up for the common people and gentry, while the Jinyi guard is set up for officials and nobles, and these two yamen have no trial power, only the right to investigate and collect evidence, arrest and interrogation!" ”
Someone else said: "Your Majesty, the power of the Judicial Temple and the Jinyi Guard is too great, they are the law enforcement function of the yamen, if no one monitors them, then they can arrest whoever they want, and they can interrogate whoever they want?" How can you judge how you want? In the end, wouldn't it make everyone in the officialdom endanger? ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "Of course not, the authority of the Jinyi Guard is mutually constrained, the function of the Northern Ya is to supervise the impeachment and has no right to arrest and interrogate, and the Southern Ya cannot arrest and interrogate without the arrest warrant of the commander, and the main duty of the internal guard is to deal with hostile and meticulous work; The trials of the Judicial Temple all need the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty as the basis for law enforcement, so how can they be arbitrarily judged? Of course, there may really be people who dare to enforce the law and break the law, ignore the law and regulations, so let's set up another guard under this king, named Huwei, the level of Huwei is the same as Jinyiwei, any official can report law enforcement violations to the Huwei Yamen, and there must be real evidence when reporting! If there is no conclusive evidence, but there is a lot of suspicion, you can temporarily detain for 24 hours to facilitate the case-handling personnel to find evidence, but if no evidence is found after 24 hours, you must be released! ”
Another official asked: "My lord, I don't know what kind of yamen and what are the functions of the East and West Factories of the Military Machinery Academy?" ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "The East Factory is responsible for the investigation of the enemy situation against the enemy country, and the West Factory is equivalent to the internal guard in the army."
Since the establishment of Longwei, Jinyiwei, East Factory and West Factory, their respective functions and roles have been heard and frightened.
"Does anyone else have any doubts?" Zhao Ziliang asked, and seeing that no one came out to inquire again, he waved his hand to Cen Shen and said, "Announce the list of institutions in the center of the royal court!" ”
"Yes, King!"
After Cen Shen agreed, he took out another fold, and everyone looked at the fold in Cen Shen's hand nervously, what was written on this thing was related to their future official fortunes.
"The secretary of the royal court, the chief supervisor: Cen Shen"
"Prime Minister of the Government Council: Liu Wei; Secondary phase: Dugu asks customs; Priest ・・・・・・"
"Military Machinery Academy, General Deputy Marshal Chu Ge, Deputy Marshal of the Operations Department Li Siye, Deputy Marshal of the Training Department Chen Qing, Deputy Marshal of the Equipment Logistics Department Zheng San, Wang Zhen of the Resettlement and Pension Department, Gong Ren of the Military Justice Department, Wang Can, Deputy Marshal of the East Factory, and Xuan Eighteen, Deputy Marshal of the West Factory!"
"The chief supervisor of the Judicial Temple: Dugu Jun; Deputy Supervisors: Huang Fuxian, Du Fu・・・・・・"
"Commander of the Jinyi Guard: noble; Deputy Envoy: Zhao Zishan・・・・・・"
"Zhang Jin in the Dadu Hufu Fan Clan Affairs Division, Yao Bingyan in the Fan Clan Soldiers and Horses Division, and Wang Ximing in the Clan Sect Division!"
The name of the yamen of the institution has changed, the constitution and structure of the organization have also changed, and many people have been transferred to the yamen that they have never been involved in, but no one among the high-level officials has lost their positions for the time being, and these transferred people have not been demoted, but have also been promoted.
Zhao Ziliang said to everyone: "The general central yamen of the royal court, the adjutants, etc., are like this, there is not much change, but the composition and responsibilities of the yamen are already different, so this king hopes that you will complete the formation of the yamen you are responsible for as soon as possible, and the following officials basically follow the previous officials, if the part is insufficient, you can transfer it to various places!" Do you still have questions? ”
Everyone clasped their fists and said: "The ministers have no objections!" ”
Seeing this, Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Okay, this king wants to know the population, finance, acres of land, troops, mines, etc. of my Western Qin in recent years. ”
"Yes, King!" Liu Wei stood up and arched his hand: "My tax in Xiqin five years ago was four million guan, and last year it was nine million guan; The total population was 7,425,400,000, of which 3,830,000 were Han Chinese, 1,880,000 Sogdians, 1,300,000 Tocharians, and the others each numbered hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands・・・・・・
