Chapter 617: Separation of Powers
Gao Shun and Li Yunfei explained everything from beginning to end, and the reason why they married that woman was really to appease the hearts of the group of military generals who had taken refuge in Xichuan, and they would report it as soon as possible.
Maybe he was worried that Li Yunfei would suspect that he would support the army and establish himself as a king or something, so after the celebration banquet, he came to apply for the removal of his military rights, the reason was a bit far-fetched, saying that the world was peaceful now, and he wanted to live a stable life. Of course, there is another problem, Gao Shun feels that his ability is not enough to be in a high position, so he wants to unload his armor and return to the field and get an idle job.
Gao Shun only needs to set the rules of the law for him, and he will implement it very strictly, such as the military discipline set, only he is the most strictly enforced, so when leading the army of the scale, it can be called perfect, but it is slightly insufficient when planning large-scale battles.
For example, this attack on Xichuan was because he was too glassy, so the speed of the advance was slow, and Zhuge Liang robbed him of the first credit. However, Gao Shun's character is excellent, and of course Li Yunfei can't really give him an idle position.
“…… Lao Gao might as well go to the Criminal Department, you don't need to take care of the rest, you just need to do things strictly according to the rules, I believe in you! "Thinking about it, the most suitable place for him to go is the newly established Criminal Department.
"But the criminal law?"
"Well, it's not just in charge of criminal law, it's a department with legislative power, and its position is equivalent to being in charge of administrative Chen Gong and external power Xu Shu!" Li Yunfei explained that the new imperial court is ready to start implementing the method of separation of powers, and if it is done well, many problems will be fundamentally solved, but it will take a long time and several generations of efforts to realize this system, and it will be possible to truly realize it.
"This matter is absolutely impossible, the last general is only shallow in learning, and it is really difficult to be competent."
"Of course, legislation is not something you can complete alone, I see that you and Zhuge Liang cooperate very well, so I will let him be your deputy first, and strive to support this legislature...... Of course, if you don't understand anything, feel free to come to me! ”
“…… Wechen received the order, thank you for your trust, Wechen must be strict with himself and lead by example! Gao Shun hesitated, and finally took over this task, with Zhuge Liang from the side, of course, he was more relieved, I think the reason why His Majesty made himself responsible is mainly because Zhuge Liang is still young and his prestige is still a little lacking!
"Come on, it's all your own family, you don't need to be so polite." Li Yunfei hurriedly helped people up. "It's a wine that doesn't taste very good, but it's good for your body to drink a little once in a while, so you can take some with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Weichen is retiring!"
"Well, go ahead, come to the palace often when you have time!"
"Wechen obeys!"
Gao Shun respectfully withdrew from the hall, thinking that now that the world is peaceful, it is time for the bird to hide the bow, he only needs to propose the matter of unloading the armor and returning to the group, His Majesty will definitely readily agree, at most give enough money and food subsidies.
I didn't expect this status to rise instead of falling, in charge of criminal law legislation, this is a big official who really holds real power, the general in troubled times is popular, and the peaceful and prosperous times are of course popular with the officials in charge of criminal law, but how can he be in such a high position......
Gao Shun left the imperial study with trepidation, but Zhuge Liang, who had just returned home, was extremely excited to receive the appointment, the second-in-command in charge of the legislative department, although it was not the first-in-command, but now he has just turned twenty-one years old, and he really can't be in a hurry.
……
"This time to recover Xichuan, a total of 450,000 troops were dispatched, which lasted six months, 3,980 people were killed, 8,573 were wounded, 35,000 enemies were annihilated, and 260,000 were captured...... Zhen Mi took a weekly newspaper that had just been sent over, and read aloud the contents of it, of course, it was read to Li Yunfei, but Li Yunfei was sleepy when he listened, and leaned directly on his lap.
Last night, I didn't sleep all night, and Chen Gong, Xu Shu, Gao Shun, Zhuge Liang and more than a dozen other people, discussed the legislative matter together, for this matter has not had a good rest for several days, of course, many laws cannot be copied to future generations, otherwise there will definitely be a lot of resentment.
We can only use the people of this era to establish a complete and effective legal system in combination with reality as much as possible.
"Your Majesty is sleepy, why don't you go to bed and rest first?" Seeing that Li Yunfei was a little depressed, Zhen Mi's hand was on Li Yunfei's temples and rubbed gently.
"Well, it's okay, during the day, I still don't sleep, or I won't sleep in the middle of the night at night."
"Your Majesty has been suffering from insomnia lately?"
"It's not insomnia...... Beauty, you miss your family, why don't I send you home once? ”
"No, the concubine doesn't want to go home...... If Your Majesty is tired of being a concubine, you can come here less. ”
"Uh, why is the beauty angry?"
"Don't dare to concubine!"
"Do you really miss home?"
"I don't want to, since the concubine is with Your Majesty, she is Your Majesty's person, and this is the concubine's home!"
"Okay, if you don't go back, don't go back, don't be angry, I like to see you carefree." I don't know what the situation is, I heard the conversation between her and Xiaohuan before, and I do feel a little homesick, why don't I want to do it now, it seems that I really don't want to go back, otherwise I wouldn't be so resolute when I go back.
"Well, the concubine is not angry, do you continue to read this?"
"Let's see for myself, listening to your voice, I want to sleep, or I will think about some other nonsense things, and I won't listen to it at all."
I took the special internal reference of the weekly newspaper and continued to browse the contents above. The information is very detailed, Xichuan was officially included in the territory, and the country celebrated for three days, so most of the content on the page is the process of taking Xichuan, the price paid and the harvest.
Not counting the casualties, let's say that the cost of materials is as high as 18 million stones, grain and grass, as well as the extra military subsidies paid for the expedition, tens of millions of silver coins, and millions of silver coins because of the pension of the casualties, of course, there are many other expenses. I have to say that fighting a war is really expensive.
However, the harvest this time was also very large, a total of 5 million stones of grain and grass, 450,000 taels of gold, 2.6 million taels of silver, hundreds of millions of five baht coins, and many jade and agate and other things were seized from Xichuan. I really can't imagine that Xichuan will have so much gold and silver stockpiling, almost half of the current treasury reserves, with this batch of gold and silver put into the market, there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient circulation in the next three or four years.
"The Kunlun Mountain Survey Team, on July 20, the second year of China, found the footprints of an unknown giant beast in the Nalengrad Gorge of Kunlun Mountain, with footprints three zhang long, one zhang and three feet wide, and two feet deep, showing a five-finger ......."
It was indeed a bit unbelievable to suddenly see such a message.
"Beauty, has this news been confirmed?" Li Yunfei pointed to the news and asked, he has been busy establishing the country's constitution in the past two days, so he rarely asks about the news from all over the country, and he has missed such a major discovery.
"Of course it has been confirmed, this news was sent by Princess Qi'er."
"Such a big news, that girl didn't tell me?"
"Is this big news?"
"Isn't it significant to have found traces of such a giant beast?"
“…… This is not very big, has Your Majesty forgotten the big bird with a wingspan of several miles? This giant beast is really insignificant compared to the big bird, so Princess Qi'er didn't take it seriously! ”
"Well, okay...... I really don't know what other powerful creatures there are in this world. ”
"No matter how powerful you are, you won't be stronger than Your Majesty."
"Sister, you exalt me too much, reluctantly in heaven and earth, you and I are just as infinitely small."
"No, Your Majesty is as great as this heaven and earth in the eyes of the concubine." Zhen Mi looked at Li Yunfei's eyes and said affectionately, this look was quite tempting for Li Yunfei.
"Well, I suddenly feel a little sleepy, beauty, can you sleep with me?" Without waiting for anyone to reply, he picked up the person and went to bed.
"Since Your Majesty is sleepy, why do you want to take off your concubine's clothes?"
"How can you sleep without taking off your clothes!"
"Then why did you take off your underwear too?"
"It's an eyesore!"
Originally, Zhen Mi still wanted to say, why is the thing below so hard, but after thinking about it, I still don't say such idiotic words, serve it well, and try to make His Majesty more relaxed.
