With the establishment of the two major bureaucratic institutions of the Imperial Council and the Imperial Privy Council, the most challenging problems were gradually exposed, and the problem of bureaucracy and bureaucracy began to become the most complex and headache to consider as an emperor. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Wufeng thinks that the current political situation of the empire is still completely under his control, whether it is government affairs or military affairs, the initiative is still firmly in his hands, but this does not mean that there are no problems.

Wu Feng had read a lot of emperors' books on the use of power and institutional checks and balances, but he found that in order to smoothly control such a huge empire, it was simply impossible to rely on books and previous experience or a simple imported institutional system.

The separation of military and political affairs is only one of the most basic frameworks, and the relative reading power of supervision and judicial power does not make the judicial power able to compete with the huge administrative power, and all this is due to the supreme imperial power, which is a rather complex system engineering, how to make this huge and complex system operate effectively, and drive the entire empire forward without getting out of control, which needs to be summed up and explored step by step in practice, and gradually improved.

Compared with external threats, Wu Feng believes that the signs of internal problems are the most important thing for him to pay attention to, and the rule of officials has always been the key to the rise and fall of a regime, how to successfully mobilize the active surnames of these officials under his command, give full play to their talents as much as possible, and effectively eliminate all kinds of ills that may occur, this is one of the hot spots that the emperor needs to pay attention to.

Before the establishment of the empire, the security services successfully completed an important task entrusted to them, that is, to monitor their own growing bureaucracy, and Wu Feng also knew that the problems that exist in every dynasty and every generation will also exist in his new empire, and it is unrealistic to completely eradicate these problems and ills at once, and how to minimize the negative impact of these ills and make them a normal cycle of good surnames is enough to prove that the entire regime is successful.

As a matter of fact, factional struggles have existed since the beginning of the establishment of Western Xinjiang, and various factors have been intertwined from simple competition of ability to inconsistent views on political views and strategies, from close personal affection to close relations, and various factors have been intertwined, so that the influence of the control areas in the western Xinjiang control area is constantly expanding. Although the bureaucracy of judicial power has chosen to be subordinated to the supreme interests headed by itself, in concrete aspects, the wishes and demands that each side needs to express are different, and some are even very different and contradictory.

The performance of the army in this regard is relatively modest, but competition and challenges have always existed, the military led by Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu has gradually formed the two largest factions, and most of the other factions are attached to these two parties, Liang Chongxin and his family have considerable influence in the new imperial army, and the generals born in the Gaoyue clan are more supportive of Liang Chongxin, and the nomadic cavalry is closer to Cui Wenxiu without any suspense. The establishment of the naval system also brought new problems, the naval system led by Lei Cangpu was not able to truly unify the entire naval force, and the imperial system formed by the old naval forces of the empire gradually became a force that could faintly compete with the Changfeng system dominated by Lei Cangpu, and they combined to become an important force outside the army.

In fact, this kind of factional struggle in the army is not unavoidable in the eyes of Wu Feng, and there will naturally be disputes about the use of strategy and tactics, Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu's loyalty to themselves and the good personal relationship between the two and their absolute transcendent status in the army ensure that the emperor [***] team will not have any voice against their intentions.

In contrast, factional struggles in political affairs are much more complex, involving the interests of too many forces and strata, and the different political views of officials and the different systems of origin may be the reasons for the existence of these problems. Fortunately, Xiao Su and the others can still keep a fairly sober mind at this point, although the officials at the two levels of the county government below have more or less appeared some signs of this, but they still maintain a considerable unity at the level of the government council, which makes Wu Feng very pleased.

After the Bai Yuanzhong incident and the Wuzhi incident, many officials also saw Wufeng's taboo in this regard, no one dared to knock on wooden bricks easily, Wufeng also knocked on officials at all levels on many occasions lightly or heavily or openly or covertly, if you want to take on more important responsibilities, you must show your talents, be content and be loyal to your own work, these three are the only way to be promoted, if you want to go through other evil ways, only the cage of the Imperial Supervision Yuan awaits him.

The issue of the Situ family and the original noble status of the Tang River Empire has always been the focus of negotiations between the Imperial Government Council and Situ Yutang and the great nobles in Yanjing, although the two sides have reached an agreement on many issues, but the two sides have their own opinions on the retention of the noble title.

The Imperial Government Council insisted that the Tang Empire would not recognize the nobility of the Tang River Empire, and that they could only enjoy the same treatment as ordinary residents of Yanjing, but their original property could be retained, and the empire would protect the legitimate rights and interests of their private property, and all criminal and civil lawsuits against them after the establishment of the new empire would be handled in accordance with the laws of the original Tang River Empire, and all criminal and civil affairs that occurred from the date of the establishment of the Imperial Supervision Yuan and the Trial Yuan (** Yuan) must be handled in accordance with the new laws of the Tang Empire.

This to a certain extent satisfied the requirements of the nobles and gentry of the original Tang River Empire, after all, with the change of dynasty, many tenants, slaves, workers and other inferior people who were once their tenants may have achieved a higher status by joining the Western Xinjiang, and the call for a counteroffensive to resettle unjust, false and wrongful cases is also increasing, especially some civil cases involving illegal occupation, illegal annexation, forced purchase and forced sale, and criminal cases involving human life have become the focus. With the establishment of the Imperial Court of Supervision and the Imperial Court of Justice, several itinerant courts and circuit courts, as well as prefectural divisions (tribunals), began to be established, all of which were fully promoted by Molun, who was said to be the first Minister of Justice of the Empire.

Mo Lun highly affirmed the establishment of the Imperial Court of Supervision and the Imperial Court of Trials (** Yuan), and suggested that the Court of Supervision and the Court of Trials (** Yuan) be given more and broader powers, and even suggested that the Imperial Court of Supervision and the Imperial Court of Justice (** Yuan) could supervise and adjudicate without any other power restrictions, but this proposal was strongly opposed by the Imperial Government Council and the whole of the Empire, and even did not get the support of anyone and had to give up.

Although the property rights of the nobles of the Tang River Empire were guaranteed and promised, the Imperial Council also resolutely opposed giving any special political treatment to the nobles of the Tang River Empire, let alone recognizing the original aristocratic status of the nobles of the Tang River Empire. In addition to the aristocratic status of the former Grand Duke Allen of the Principality of Gerok and the chieftains of the nomadic tribes and the original lords of the Western Regions can be retained, the nobility of all people must be re-recognized by the Emperor, and the requirements and conditions for this recognition will be quite harsh according to the setting of the Rites Department of the Imperial Government Council, except for those who have made great contributions to the Tang Empire, other nobles like the original nobles of the Tang River Empire are almost directly excluded from this range, including the Situ family, unless they have contributed to the new empire through other channels。

The dispute between the two sides was quite fierce on this point, and the representatives of the nobles and gentry of the Tang River Empire did not hesitate to threaten to resist the emergence of the new empire, although they also knew that their resistance could not prevent the emergence of the new empire and Li Wufeng's ascension to the throne, but they also knew that Li Wufeng absolutely did not want to see such a discordant atmosphere in Yanjing at such a time.

Situ Yutang looked quite embarrassed in the middle. The Imperial Ministry of Rites has clarified her status as the imperial concubine, which is second only to the empress's noble status, and under the rising anti-Situ family voices in the original Western Xinjiang system and the opinions of some important officials who believe that Situ family members should not achieve too high a status in the Wufeng harem, it is not easy to obtain such an honor, especially Situ Yutang's performance in the Western Xinjiang in the early stage has made many retainers and generals who have been following Wufeng quite dissatisfied.

And the Situ family and the great nobles of the Tang River Empire also exerted a lot of pressure on Situ Yutang, in their opinion, since Situ Yutang was able to obtain such a noble status, it also meant that Li Wufeng had accepted the sincerity of the Situ family and the nobles of the Tang River Empire, and Li Wufeng, who was also from the Tang River Empire noble family, should also give some special treatment to the nobles of the Tang River Empire, and not mix them with ordinary civilians.

The sharp confrontation made Situ Yutang in a dilemma, she knew that this issue was not something she could decide, since Wufeng had determined this principle, it was impossible to overthrow it, but to make the once high-ranking Situ family and the great nobles and gentry of the Tang River Empire suddenly become the same as the small people in the market, this huge contrast is also unacceptable to these people, how to make the two sides make a certain compromise makes Situ Yutang anxious.
