This time, the adjustment of the imperial court department is a big move.

The original six first-level departments and four second-level departments are redivided into:

The central organs were reorganized into the Government Council and the Central Book Ministry.

The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

There are 15 secondary ministries, including the Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration of Taxation, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Supervision, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Land, and the Ministry of Aquatic Products and Fisheries.

The Government Council has three prime ministers, who are Wei Zheng, Hou Junji and Huang Furui.

Set up six servants (deputy prime ministers), namely Gao Jingming, Ma Zhou, Li Ke, Zhang Xuansu, Yu Ningzhi and Tang Fei.

The Zhongshu Province was served by Cen Wenwen as the Zhongshu Order.

The army still has a general staff headquarters, with Li Jing as chief of the general staff, Li Xiaogong, Hou Junji, Li Ji, Su Dingfang, and Wei Chigong as deputy chiefs of the general staff.

Li Xiaogong concurrently served as the president of the Military Academy, and Hou Junji concurrently served as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials and the deputy chief of the General Staff.

Cheng Yanjin served as the commander of the armed police.

Li Dan continues to serve as the Minister of Industry, and is now the Minister of the First-Class Minister. He was named the Duke of Huai'an County.

Du He served as the head of the Special Forces Department of the General Staff and the commander of the Flying Tiger Army. He was named the Duke of Xushui County.

They are the youngest grandfathers of the Tang Dynasty.

Wei Chi Baoqi continued to serve as the deputy commander of the Flying Tiger Army, and he was on the third grade.

Li Zhi served as Minister of the Navy of the General Staff and Director of the Naval Research Institute.

Cheng continued to serve as commander of the Navy.

The only pity is Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling is a capable minister and a good minister, and his life has made great contributions to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. It's a pity that at the most critical moment, he didn't make the right choice.

In order to appease all the people who support him, although Li Su is reluctant, he can only arrange for Fang Xuanling to retire. Later, he was appointed as the emperor's adviser, and the eldest grandson Wuji made the same arrangement.

In the court, both the old ministers and the newly promoted ministers are the original supporters, and Li Su's control of the court is much higher than the original Li Shimin's control of the court.

The Tang Dynasty united as one, reduced internal friction, and created good conditions for the continued development of Zhenguan and prosperity.

Li Su is determined to build a strong and prosperous Datang, but he is not very clear about the specific goals.

He pondered for a long time and thought of a solution, as the saying goes, one person is short, everyone is wise, what kind of Tang do you want to build? What kind of goals should you establish?

This goal should be something that most people can agree with, so he decided to leave it to everyone to discuss.

He first thought that he wanted the ministers to make suggestions, and then he thought that this was in the interests of everyone in the entire Datang, so it was best to involve everyone.

He came up with a way - an essay.

He decided to launch an essay contest in Chang'an, titled "The Tang Dynasty in My Mind", in which everyone from officials to ordinary people from all walks of life can participate.

All the participants of the essay competition, belonging to the common people, will be subject to the preliminary examination by the local government. Officials are subject to preliminary examination by the ministries to which they belong. Military personnel shall be subject to preliminary examination in accordance with the system of the army.

Then gather in the Zhongshu Province for review, and finally, select 10 essays and submit them to the Government Council for review.

In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the military and civilians in Chang'an to participate in the essay collection activities, all the essays that can enter the review will be rewarded, and the top three will be selected and given heavy rewards.

On the 16th of the first month, the early dynasty, Taiji Hall.

Today is the first early dynasty after Li Su ascended the throne.

Wei Zheng announced the reform of the imperial court institutions and related personnel appointments.

It was then announced that in the future, the morning court would be held once every three days, with two principal heads of various departments as participants, and a large court meeting would be held once a month. The number and number of pilgrimage meetings have been reduced.

Li Su said: "Since the first year of Wude, since Gaozu established Datang, after 24 years of struggle, with the efforts of all the military and people of Datang, Datang has made brilliant achievements.

Especially under the leadership of Emperor Taizong, Zhenguan's rule assessed civil strife, conquered Siyi, and developed people's livelihood, and achieved unprecedented achievements in the history of the Han nation.

I will inherit the unification and will lead the Tang Dynasty to continue to move forward along the road of Zhenguan pioneered by my fathers together with the ministers.

How to build a more prosperous and prosperous Datang requires the collective wisdom and efforts of the ministers and workers, as well as the joint efforts of all the Datang military and civilians.

In order to better establish an inspiring, brilliant and reasonable goal, I decided to hold an essay contest entitled "The Tang Dynasty in My Mind".

It is required that all subjects in Chang'an should participate, and everyone can sketch a better picture of the future of the Tang Dynasty according to everyone's imagination, and the imperial court will select the best ones for reference.

Finally, after the discussion of the court meeting, it was determined as the goal of Datang's future development.

What do you think of my thoughts? ”

Li Su's words caused heated discussions among the ministers.

Yu Ningzhi said: "Your Majesty, what a good idea, mobilize all the subjects, everyone participates, brainstorms, and makes joint suggestions, and you will definitely be able to select the ideal target that meets the interests of the majority of your subjects."

The minister agreed. ”

Ma Zhou said: "Your Majesty, this is really a good idea, after the goal chosen by all the subjects, it will inevitably get everyone's support, which is conducive to the realization of the goal."

The minister agreed. ”

Ministers have expressed their approval.

Li Su said: "Since this is the case, then it is decided." The specific implementation will be undertaken by the Ministry of Chinese Books. ”

Soon after, the province issued specific implementation rules for the essay contest.

Just like in the court, this matter has also caused heated discussions in Chang'an City.

In a liquor store on West Main Street, several drinkers are talking about it.

An emaciated middle-aged man said: "Old Niu, read the notice on the street, this is really new." Historically, the administrative program of the imperial court has been decided by the imperial court, and they have promulgated it, and we ordinary people only have the share of implementation.

This time it's different, the governing program of the imperial court has to listen to the opinions of our people, and the emperor is indeed different from Emperor Taizong and Emperor Taizu. ”

Called Lao Niu, a short middle-aged man, slightly older than the person who spoke to him, he said: "When the emperor was the prince, he was very concerned about our people, and over the years, he has done a lot of good things for the people, I was looking forward to him becoming the emperor, this time he really became the emperor, and it didn't disappoint me." ”

At this time, the chubby owner of the wine shop came over and said: "Two old brothers, since you want us to give opinions, I really have opinions to mention, I think that this tax is still unreasonable, and there is also a sanitation fee, why do we have to pay more for opening a wine shop than for opening a tailor's shop?" ”

Lao Niu said: "Shopkeeper, the notice says that the emperor is asking us to look forward to the future, how can you give your opinions?" ”

The owner of the wine shop said: "Improving the shortcomings of the imperial court and making Datang better, isn't this also looking forward to the future?" ”

The emaciated middle-aged man from before said: "I really have some ideas, and I want to mention it to the emperor, but I don't know much and can't write." ”

Lao Niu said proudly: "You are not as good as me in this regard, my son is studying in a normal school, and he is very knowledgeable, I will go back and mention it to my son and let him write it for me." ”

The same scene abounds in Chang'an City.

East Palace.

Di Renjie has been living in the East Palace since he came to Chang'an. He was closest to Wu Cong and said, "Sister Cong'er, I also want to participate in the essay competition." ”
