In the first year of Long'an, in August, the Son of Heaven decreed that the capital should be guarded as King Yong. With-Dream- . lā

As soon as the edict came out, the world was in an uproar.

Although this is not the first king with a different surname in the Great Jin Dynasty, there is a significant feature in both Qianyan and Daiguo before.

That is, Murong Hao and Tuoba Yi Lu were both born in Hulu, which are essentially different from Wei Shuo's Yanhuang and Miao descendants, and the resulting impact is also very different.

In addition to being horrified, the outside world is more sad and silent.

Some far-reaching people have seen it clearly, and now the imperial court is declining, and the Great Jin Dynasty has existed in name only.

And this will undoubtedly fuel the ambition of some people and make them speed up the pace of rebellion.

No matter what the outside world reacted to, anyway, Hexi was very happy and most of them protected King Fengyong.

And the most gratifying person is none other than Dunhuang Guo.

Thinking that back then, the Guo family was forced to marry Guo Yuan to Wei Shuo out of desperation, who would have thought that Wei Shuo had become a prince in the blink of an eye.

What makes the Guo family even more excited is that Hexi has faintly shown signs of dominating the world.

If Wei Shuo finally becomes the lord of the world, then the Dunhuang Guo family will definitely rise with the tide.

Ignoring the disturbances from the outside world, after sending Cui Hong and Wang Mi away, Wei Shuo was ready to take the opportunity of being crowned king to further promote government reform.

Speaking of which, since Wei Shuo became the ruler of Hexi, he has successively promoted several government reforms.

Whether it is the separation of military and political affairs, or the implementation of the imperial examination and the rule of law, it is all to consolidate the foundation of its rule.

After a decade of hard work, he is now firmly on the ground, and he is finally able to make bold moves to implement further reforms.

At present, the government affairs of Hexi are handled by the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the left and right Changshi are in charge.

This set of institutions has been in operation for nearly ten years and has made outstanding contributions to the strength of Hexi.

However, as the territory became larger, the Metropolitan Protectorate was gradually unable to meet the current needs.

Strictly speaking, the Hexi regime is more like a "hegemon" controlled by the ministers alone, and this has also been the political norm since the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Both the Wei and Jin dynasties were gradually established by powerful ministers with military power, who formed a set of institutions that exercised their powers freely outside the formal bureaucracy.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties set this precedent until the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the general system has gradually become customary by temporary measures.

Otherwise, Wei Shuo tossed around in Hexi like that, and it didn't cause much turmoil, precisely because everyone had already seen it.

But today, with Wei Shuo becoming king, the territory has expanded to a certain extent, and it is obviously not possible to do it as before.

It can be said that Wei Shuo's move today is almost designing a political organization for the new empire in the future, and he can't help but be careful and careful.

Before officially adjusting the organization, Wei Shuo first had to communicate with several important henchmen such as Cui Hao, Song Xuan, Zhang Zhan, Cui Hong, Zong Chang, and Shi Wei.

On this day, in the side hall, Wei Shuo and a group of henchmen gathered together to discuss the adjustment of the organization.

Organizational adjustment is not just a simple appointment and dismissal of personnel, but will also involve too many conflicts of interest, and there are many debatable things in it.

"After thinking about it carefully, we can absorb some of the strengths of the Han, Wei, Jin and other dynasties, and then combine our own advantages, and finally come up with an organizational structure that is in line with the actual situation in Hexi."

"Not to mention anything else, in fact, the three-province system is very good."

"During the Cao Wei period, Shangshu was no longer an official subordinate to the prime minister, but became an independent government agency. Shangshu Province has one Shangshu Ling, one Shangshu left and one right servant. ”

"And due to the establishment of the Zhongshu Province, the Shangshu Province no longer decides on policies, but is instead responsible for the handling of specific state affairs, which is similar to the responsibilities of the Metropolitan Protectorate."

"According to the regulations, Shangshu Province has five Cao, namely Zhicao (in charge of the transfer of officials), Zuomin (in charge of the people's household registration and taxes), Kecao (in charge of the subject country and diplomatic affairs), Wubing (in charge of the selection of officers and military training), and Duzhi (in charge of the treasury) to govern affairs."

"Each Cao has a Shangshu, and there are waiters and Lang Zhongguan under the Shangshu."

"And there are twenty-five langs in the palace, the official department, the driving department, the gold department, the Yu Cao, the Bi department, the south master guest, the ancestral hall, the degree branch, the treasury department, the agriculture department, the water department, the Yi Cao, the three dukes, the warehouse department, the people Cao, the two thousand stones, the capital officials, the middle soldiers, the foreign soldiers, the capital soldiers, the other soldiers, the cavalry, the examination work, the Dingke, etc., to assist Shangshu in the division of affairs."

"Shuo thought that on the basis of Cao Wei Shangshu Province, it could be added, subtracted, and modified to meet the needs of Hexi."

"For example, there are too few Cao under Cao Wei Shangshu Province, and the division of labor is not clear, and these need to be completely overturned and reset."

"In addition, the title of Cao and the ministry is entangled, and it needs to be further divided clearly."

"After preliminary consideration, Xinshangshu Province will set up eight departments, including officials, degree branches, households, agriculture, industry and commerce, learning, transshipment, and foreign affairs."

"From now on, all Cao in Shangshu Province will be renamed the department, and the chief official of each ministry will be Shangshu, and the deputy will be the left and right servants."

When everyone present heard this, it suddenly became clear that most of the capital protectors had changed the brand of the capital protection mansion to the name of Shangshu Province, and it seemed that Shangshu Province would be in charge of all government affairs in the future.

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts suddenly became hot, and they all set their eyes on the positions of the various ministries.

As for Shangshu's left and right servants, if nothing else, it will naturally fall into the hands of the two long histories.

Wei Shuo seemed to have insight into everyone's thoughts, and he continued: "In view of the weight of Shangshu Province, in order to give checks and balances, Shuo will increase the authority of the subordinate province and give it the responsibility of auditing and supervising. ”

"The province has set up a left and right scattered cavalry permanent attendants, and the audit department and a large number of Lang Lang, who are divided into households and scholars, correspond to the ministries of Shangshu Province, and their daily responsibilities are to audit and supervise the ministries."

"To put it in layman's terms, Shangshu Province decides how and where to spend the money, while Menxia Province decides whether the money should be spent and whether it is spent correctly."

"That is to say, every time Shangshu Province spends a sum of money, it must be approved and supervised by the Ministry of Disciples."

As soon as these words came out, the officials who were originally interested in the hot Shangshu Province suddenly hesitated.

Because they found that Shangshu Province was not as good as they imagined, they were watched by people doing everything, and they would make themselves a mess if they were not careful.

Cui Hao, Song Xuan, Shi Wei, Zong Chang, Zhang Zhan and others looked thoughtful, in their opinion, King Yong's change of the traditional Shangshu Province and Menxia Province beyond recognition is completely implementing his idea of decentralization and checks and balances.

However, Wei Shuo still did not give up, and he began to make a big move against Zhongshu Province again.

After the Wei and Jin dynasties, the officials of Zhongshu Province were particularly valued, and the Standing Committee of the Emperor took important responsibilities with secrets, so the main power of the central organs gradually moved to Zhongshu Province.

However, Shangshu Province was gradually alienated, and Shangshu Ling only carried out daily government affairs and could not participate in confidential affairs.

Now Wei Shuo returned the weight to Shangshu Province, which is equivalent to weakening the authority of Zhongshu Province.

As a result, Zhongshu Province was given legislative power by Wei Shuo.

"From now on, Zhongshu Province under the rule of Hexi has the right to promulgate laws and regulations."

"No ministry or person, including the king, has the right to impose new laws or change tax rates without permission."

"The chief official of Zhongshu Province is the left and right Zhongshu Shilang, and the subordinate quota is the singular Langzhong."

"The promulgation of any law requires the consent of more than half of the Langzhong."

"And those who are qualified to serve as Langzhong must be people with honorable positions, otherwise even if you are from a wealthy family, you have no right to enter the Zhongshu Province Ren Langzhong."

"At present, there are at least thousands of people who have received the rank under Hexi's rule, and in order to ensure fairness, it is necessary to select the widest possible range of people to serve as Langzhong as possible according to different regions, positions, etc., and the quota is tentatively set at 365."

Wei Shuo gave the legislative power to the Zhongshu Province, but he was worried about being controlled by the nobles of the family, so he set the above rules.

At present, most of the people who have received the Hexi Medal are from the Hanmen Shu clan, including brave soldiers, farmers with high farming skills, and self-employed people who pay taxes seriously.

Even including gentlemen who teach and educate people, craftsmen with innovative technology, etc., are representatives of almost all walks of life, but there are no children of the family among them.

"Finally, in addition to the three provinces, there are also supervision and judicial institutions such as the General Supervision Administration, Dali Temple, and the General Inspection Administration, which are respectively responsible for investigation, trial, and arrest."

"These three institutions are parallel to the three provinces and are directly responsible to the king and the cabinet, and other officials at all levels, such as the three provinces, have no right to dictate to the General Supervision Administration, Dali Temple, and the General Inspection Administration."

"As for what the Cabinet is...... We'll talk about that later. ”

"After introducing political affairs, let's talk about the reform of military institutions."

"I intend to abolish the General's Mansion and set up a Privy Council instead, with five ministries, one prison and two offices, and the status is equivalent to that of the ministries of Shangshu Province."

"They are the General Staff Department (formerly the Military Division), the War Department (the former Infantry Division and the Cavalry Division were merged), the Navy Division Department (newly established), the Government Military Department (formerly the Government Military Division), the Joint Logistics Department (formerly the Joint Logistics Division), the Military Intelligence Agency (formerly the Scout Division), the Ordnance Superintendent, and the Military Judge Advocate General's Office."

"From this day onwards, the Guards will no longer be under the Privy Council, but will be under the control of the newly established Ministry of the Interior."

"It has two major institutions, the Guards and Military Department and the Jinyi Guard, and is directly responsible to Lone."
