The matter of establishing a province was discussed for more than two hours before it was decided, and the ministers and generals also had a general understanding of the specific process and functions of the establishment of the province.

The ministers and generals knew that the reform of the imperial court system to be discussed next was the most important thing, so they all cheered up.

Qin Dong continued: "Okay, the matter of establishing a province is so decided, and the establishment of a province will be implemented throughout the country after the reform of the imperial court and political system." Since it is necessary to reform the imperial court system, then the old official system of the royal court will be abolished, including the regent palace, so there will be no regent palace in the future, and other official offices will also be abolished, and all officials and clerks will be included in the newly established official office, secretary, you tell you about the specific situation of the newly established imperial court system! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The secretary immediately took out a roll of parchment and opened it and read: "The new imperial court has His Majesty the Emperor as the supreme ruler of the empire. The whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's ministers, and all the ministers, generals, and all the subjects of the empire must unite around the emperor's majesty.

The secretary's speech was clear. All the officials understood and understood the main functions of the three most important departments, which are simply the three highest departments of government affairs, military affairs, and metropolitan inspection. Someone stood up and saluted Qin Dong and asked, "May I ask the secretary, what specific positions have been set up in these three courtyards to manage the entire organization?" ”

The secretary said: "The State Council has one prime minister, six vice prime ministers, and six vice prime ministers to assist the prime minister in acting in the affairs of the whole country. They are the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Crime, and the six vice prime ministers are specifically in charge of a department, and each department has a secretary as the supreme officer to manage the affairs of the ministry.

Let's talk about the Ministry of Officials first. The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examination, promotion, and transfer of officials throughout the country.

The secretary stopped here to give the ministers and generals time to digest, and after a while, Qin Dong opened his mouth and asked, "Do you still have any questions about the various functional organs of the State Council?" If there is no doubt, then continue, and the secretary will talk about the Military Aircraft Institute and the Metropolitan Inspection Academy! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The secretary then read: "The Military Aircraft Institute is personally in charge of the Emperor, and he is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and the transfer of troops at and above the regimental level must be approved by His Majesty before they are allowed to be transferred, and the promotion, appointment, dismissal, and title of officers and generals at and above the regimental level must be approved by His Majesty, and the transfer of troops below the regimental level and the promotion, appointment and dismissal of officers below the regimental level are entrusted to the subordinate functions of the Military Aircraft Academy.

And the right capital envoy has jurisdiction over the right deputy capital envoy, the right governor envoy and a number of supervisors of the imperial history to supervise the interior! ”

Hearing this, all the officials understood that in this newly established imperial court system, various departments cooperated with each other but restrained each other. Power is not concentrated in the hands of one person, the greatest power is the emperor, for example, in the State Council, the six vice prime ministers have to cooperate with each other to assist the prime minister in managing the affairs of the six ministries, and check each other, and there are six vice prime ministers under the prime minister, these people are certainly not the same as the prime minister. Therefore, the prime minister cannot monopolize power, and the emperor only needs to say a word, and the prime minister has to leave the class. Even within the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The imperial envoy of the left faction is responsible for supervising the officials of the imperial court and local provinces, while the right faction is responsible for supervising the left faction, but the imperial envoy of the left faction is the boss of the metropolitan procuratorate, and it is not so easy for the people of the right faction to rectify his people. The two sides can be described as mutually restrictive.

Felton stood up and asked, "Your Majesty." Since there is a military aircraft institute, why should there be a military department among the six ministries under the State Council? Is there some overlap between the functions of the Ministry of War and the Military Aircraft Academy? ”

Qin Dongdao: "There is no overlap, the military department of the six departments of the State Council is only responsible for the selection of local garrison military attachés, the management of the military status of soldiers and officers, the manufacture of ordnance, and the formulation of military orders. Secretary, let's move on to Jiuqing".
