At the beginning of November of the first year of Yongchang, no one would have thought that the first holy decree given by the new emperor to King Yan was to allow him to establish a feudal state in the north. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

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

The establishment of the feudal state is different from the traditional feudal kings of the Wei and Jin dynasties, this time it is equivalent to publicly recognizing the status of Wei Shuo's princes, and the Yan State will exist as the princes of the Zhou Dynasty.

In addition to the horror of the outside world, there is more sadness and silence, most people know that today, the Great Jin Dynasty has long existed in name only.

As the largest separatist force in the world, Liaodong has not been under the emperor's orders for a long time, and instead of trying to save face, it is better to face the reality and curry favor with Liaodong.

The so-called not broken and not established, Sima Shao really has the ambition to revitalize the Jin family, and is determined to emulate the old things of the former Han Gaozu Liu Bang showing weakness Xiang Yu Ganqu Hanzhong King, and Guangwu Emperor forbearance and brother hatred to show favor to the first emperor, planning to introduce Liaodong as foreign aid, endure humiliation, taoguang and obscurity, watch the changes in the world, and seek an opportunity to eradicate the internal general Wang Dun first, and then according to Jiangdong to resist Liaodong.

When this edict spread to all parts of the world, the forces of all sides were happy and worried.

The most gratifying person is none other than Liaodong. Especially for Wei Shuo, from a homeless leader to a king of the earth, only he knows the hardships he has paid here, and he has never slackened off for several years, isn't it just for the sake of this?

Although there is still some distance between the king of this country and the king of the world, at least from now on he should act within the territory of the 'Yan Kingdom', and according to the abundant manpower and material resources of Liaodong, it will not take long to complete the important task of unifying the world.

The second most pleasing thing is the Pei family in Hedong, originally the Pei family did not expect that the Pei family was the family with the closest connection with the new Yan Kingdom.

Not to mention that Pei Weigui is one of the giants of Liaodong Wenchen, and there are a large number of Pei children serving in various parts of Liaodong, Pei Yinger, who is single as a princess, can make the Pei family one of the new upstarts in Yan Kingdom.

As Yan Wang's father-in-law, to be honest, in Pei Dun's impression, Wei Shuo has always been the little soldier Cao, and until now he didn't expect Wei Shuo to come to this point.

No wonder the ancients often said: Shibei should be impressed for three days!

Others, such as Liaodong Zhongwen and Wu, are more excited, the last time the imperial court edict enshrined Wei Shuo as the king of Yan was only to Yan and Liaodong as fiefs, and this time directly took the entire northern land as Yan and allowed Liaodong to establish a state, which is actually equivalent to recognizing the independent status of Liaodong.

This feudal state is different from the tradition since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, but it is similar to the Zhou Dynasty's feudal princes. The princes and kings had great power and had the right to construct their own political system. It can be said that at this point, Liaodong is basically no different from the Great Jin Dynasty except that it is still nominally a prince of the Great Jin.

Wei Shuo took the edict of the Son of Heaven, looked left and right a few times, and said to himself: "I didn't expect the Son of Heaven to have such courage, if Sima Shao hadn't died young in history, he might not have had the opportunity to complete the great cause of the Northern Expedition!" ”

……

In order to complete the establishment of the feudal state as soon as possible, Wei Shuo convened nearly 100 civil and military personnel in Liaodong in November for several rounds of consultations, and finally formed a preliminary plan at the end of the month.

At the beginning of December, a large-scale joint meeting was held in the auditorium of Liaodong, attended by more than 100 civil and military officials.

Including the middle and senior officials of the pastoral and general's mansions headed by the four giants Pei Wei, Gao Zhan, Wen Qiao, and Mo Han, as well as local officials such as Assassin Shi and Taishou in various places.

In addition, there are also some mountain chiefs and doctors from various university halls, as well as representatives of folk squires, expounding teachings and Taoist chiefs, and other representatives from all walks of life in Liaodong.

There were hundreds of people in total, plus the guards who were responsible for maintaining order on the scene and the scribes who recorded the text, and the entire auditorium was packed.

Based on the results of the discussion, coupled with some of his opinions, Wei Shuo finally determined the political system of the Yan State.

This plan not only draws on historical experience, but also combines the current reality, and should be regarded as the most in line with the current Yan country.

Considering that the system of three provinces and six ministries had already taken shape, Wei Shuo immediately took out the more mature system of the Tang and Song dynasties in the later generations.

After the establishment of the feudal state, Shangshu Province will be responsible for handling daily government affairs, basically changing the set of pastoral houses to the name of Shangshu Province.

Originally, the head of Shangshu Province was Shangshu Ling, but it was canceled by Wei Shuo, and instead Shangshu was assigned to the left and right servants to be responsible.

Shangshu Province under the household, tax, industry, agriculture, transport, learning, commerce, officials eight departments, here and the pastoral government is the only difference is that there is a lack of a planning department, the Ministry of Planning was assigned to the province by Wei Shuo, responsible for auditing, supervising the operation of Shangshu Province.

The province has set up a left and right scattered cavalry permanent attendants, and the subordinate department and a large number of chambers, which are divided into households, schools, workers, etc., correspond to the ministries of Shangshu Province, and their daily responsibilities are to audit and supervise the corresponding ministries of Shangshu Province.

In addition, Wei Shuo also delegated the power to review the budget to the Ministry of Menxia, and every year the budget of Shangshu Province must be approved by the Ministry of Menxia, otherwise it will not be implemented.

The main duty of Menxia Province is to be in charge of auditing on behalf of the people of Liaodong, and all income and expenditure of Shangshu Province must be questioned by the Menxia Provincial Councillor.

Every year, the servants of Shangshu Province must go to Menxia Province to carry out the 'Spring and Autumn Planning' to explain the tax collection and use to Menxia Province.

Wei Shuo gave the administrative power to Shangshu Province, the audit power to Menxia Province, and Zhongshu Province to legislative power.

According to the regulations, only laws and regulations approved by Zhongshu Province can be implemented to the entire territory of Yan Kingdom.

In addition, no department or person, including Wei Shuo, has the right to promulgate or implement new laws, change tax rates, or increase new taxes without permission.

The chief official of Zhongshu Province is the left and right Zhongshu Shilang, and he leads 365 Langzhong, all of whom are honored people from all walks of life in Liaodong. According to the Liaodong system, whether it is a common family or a farmer, a businessman, a craftsman, or a student, as long as he has contributed to Liaodong, he can be awarded a certain medal, and if he gets the medal, he will have the opportunity to obtain the position of Langzhong.

If you want to obtain the status of Langzhong, in addition to being innocent, you must also contribute to Liaodong.

Therefore, the people who serve as Langzhong are generally farmers who are good at farming, brave soldiers who fight in war, gentlemen who teach and educate people, and even craftsmen who innovate technology.

Outside the three provinces, there are still independent supervision and judicial departments -- the General Supervision Administration, the Dali Temple, and the General Inspection Administration, which are respectively responsible for investigation, trial, and arrest.

These three departments are parallel to the three provinces and are directly responsible to King Yan 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.

Although the three directly subordinate departments are very powerful, it does not mean that they can investigate, arrest, and sentence people at will, and everything must pay attention to evidence, otherwise they will be guilty of slander and framing, and it is very likely that there will be a situation where they cannot be rectified, but they will fall off the horse.

In addition to determining the departments of the three provinces, Wei Shuo also took the Privy Council system of the Song Dynasty as the highest military institution in Liaodong, and its chief officials were the left and right envoys of the Privy Council.

The power of the Privy Council is very large, and only it has the right to transfer troops and command in the Yan State in the future.

Once a war breaks out, the Privy Council will uphold the authorization of Yanwang Weishuo, dispatch soldiers from the Xiangjun Army to participate in the war, formulate corresponding battle plans, and issue combat orders.

The Privy Council consists of six departments, one supervision and two offices, whose status is equivalent to that of the departments of Shangshu Province, namely the General Staff Department (formerly the Military Division), the War Department (the former Infantry Division and the Cavalry Division were merged), the Internal Security Department (the former Guards Division), the Navy Division Department (the former Naval Division), the Government Military Department (the former Government Military Division), the Joint Logistics Department (the former Joint Logistics Division), the Military Intelligence Department (the former Scout Division), the Ordnance Superintendent, and the Military Judge Advocate General's Office.

After completing the reform of the civil and military institutions, Wei Shuo set up the prime minister of the cabinet in the name of King Yan for military and political affairs, and the cabinet members were quite similar to the prime ministers of the political affairs hall of the Tang and Song dynasties, which were composed of the chief officials of the three provinces, the chief of the Privy Council, the chief of the important department Shangshu, and the chief officials of the three directly subordinate departments, and the number was generally about thirteen.

The first batch of people to enter the cabinet included the original four giants such as Pei Wei, Gao Zhan, Wen Qiao, and Mo Han, as well as other department chiefs including Han Shou, Lu Chang, and Shao Xu.

At the same time, in order to distinguish the different statuses of the people, Wei Shuo added different university titles to the ministers who entered the cabinet, from low to high, they were Longtu Pavilion, Tianzhang Pavilion, Wenyuan Pavilion, Guangming Palace, Wuying Palace, Baohe Hall and other six levels.

Among them, those who have attained the highest rank of university scholars are honored as the first assistant to the cabinet, and the rest of the scholars are second assistants or cabinet ministers.

The political system introduced after the founding of the feudal state of Liaodong was completely different from the Wei and Jin systems, which also marked that Liaodong embarked on a completely different path from the Great Jin.

When everything was made public, the outside world was dumbfounded by Wei Shuo's set, but also felt extremely shocked and admired. (To be continued.) )
