Chapter 86 Local Administration Separation of military and political affairs

With the end of Prime Minister Wang Huang's political career, it also represents the rise of a new force and the further strengthening of imperial power. At this time, Cai Jing also came out of the complicated emotions just now, and sorted out his emotions and said: Qi Emperor, the implementation of the system of three provinces and six ministries will greatly simplify the administrative efficiency of the central court. Specifically, the ministers believed that the Guozijian in charge of education, the Yushitai in charge of picketing, the Hanlin Yuan in charge of secretaries, the Dali Temple in charge of supervision, the Jiaoziyuan in charge of economy, the Foreign Affairs Yuan in charge of foreign affairs, and the Imperial City Department in charge of intelligence were also directly to the emperor like the Nine Temples. In this way, in order to facilitate the emperor's decision-making, the specific affairs of the imperial court will be closely integrated, and at the same time, the various ministries will be more simplified and effective, without the previous cumbersome procedures, and will play a very good positive role in the imperial court's order administration.

Cai Jing said that these ministries, although many of them are directly responsible for and reported to me, but how to say it bluntly, I still feel a little explicit, after all, I have greatly strengthened its imperial power, which is equivalent to the complete concentration of power in the hands of the emperor alone, and officials can only kneel down to carry out, but sometimes it involves their own interests, especially politics, which is so straightforward. Grasping the administrative, military, economic, judicial, and educational aspects of the imperial court is also a last resort in today's extraordinary period. After all, if the court situation continues to relax like this, without a high degree of centralization, and without the strength of the whole country to deal with these stubborn diseases left over from history, it will be difficult to rebirth the phoenix of the Great Song Empire.

With the previous experience, everyone naturally raised their hands in favor of the good things that these ministries were beneficial to their own interests and could be directly responsible to the emperor, so they quickly formed a unified opinion. Then came the summary statement of the chamberlain, only to hear a slightly hoarse voice sounded again: After the court decided that the general responsible institution for the education of the imperial court is the Guozijian, which is responsible for the education of the whole country, and is in charge of the education of the capital and the prefectures, governments, prisons, armies, and counties, as well as all affairs related to education. The post of Governor of the Imperial Court will no longer be held by the Imperial Court, and the Imperial Court will appoint another education professional. At present, the Guozijian is under the authority of the director Kunihiko to be fully responsible to the emperor.

It is still the Tang system, and there are three courtyards under the imperial history platform set up by the imperial court, which are the Taiwan Courtyard, the Palace Courtyard, and the Inspectorate, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial History. The Imperial Historical Observatory is the highest judicial supervision organ of the imperial court, and the Imperial Historical Zhongcheng is directly responsible to the emperor. Dali Temple is the highest judicial body of the imperial court, and there is a person who is the head of the temple and two young people, who are directly responsible to the emperor. The Academy drafted the □ of pardon, the letter of state, and the documents used in the court for the emperor, and was directly responsible to the emperor. The Privy Council is the highest military administrative organ in the country, and the posts of Privy Council Envoy and Deputy Envoy are set up to be directly responsible to the Emperor. Jiaoziyuan is the nearest economic department of the imperial court, responsible for the overall planning of the country's economic and financial policies and formulation, and currently has a Shangshu and a number of waiters, directly responsible to the emperor. In charge of the foreign affairs of the imperial court is the Foreign Affairs Yuan, which currently has a scholar and a number of attendants, who are directly responsible to the emperor. The ministry in charge of the national intelligence is the Imperial City Department, which is directly responsible to the emperor and so on.

After the chamberlain announced a series of ministerial functions, the unanimous slogan of the ministers sounded in the palace: The emperor is sage, and the lower officials obey the order. The next step is to discuss the reform of the local administrative system across the country. Or Cai Jing first came out and said: Emperor Qi, colleagues, the reform of the central administrative system of the imperial court has come to an end, and then the specifications and adjustments will be made according to the actual needs in the future, and the old minister is talking about the restructuring of the local administrative system, the overall goal of the restructuring is to simplify the administrative process of the local government, and pave the way for the better development of the local economy.

Specifically, the administrative system at the road level was first restructured, and the administration at the previous road level was directly under the central government to raise Changping official affairs, mention criminal prison affairs, and supervise the transfer of the department, which were respectively responsible for the storage, prison, financial endowment and supervision responsibilities of each road, specifically the transfer envoy commonly known as Cao Si, supervising the states in the road to hand over taxes to the imperial court, and mentioning the criminal prison affairs referred to as the constitutional department to supervise the judicial situation of the states in the road, reviewing all kinds of judicial cases, and promoting the Changping official affairs referred to as the Cang Division to supervise and manage the agricultural production, tea industry, salt industry and other production affairs of the states in the road. It is responsible for the management of government land in the road, the supply of private materials and disaster relief charity. In addition, at the road level, the civil and military affairs are headed by the commander's pacification envoy, whose specific duties are to know, inspect, and supervise the civil, military, judicial, and other administrative affairs of the states in the road, as well as the activities of the state officials. Under the pacification of the Shuai Division, there are a number of officials in charge of the military curtain and Cao Peng in charge of local affairs to assist the Shuai Si pacification envoy in managing the military and civilian affairs in the road, and the other is the general management of the Ma Bu Army, who is in charge of the forbidden army and the box army along the way. In order to further coordinate the administrative management system at the road level, it is specially recommended that the three positions directly appointed and appointed by the imperial court to promote Changping official affairs, criminal prison official affairs, and supervision and transfer envoys be included under the pacification envoy of the road-level chief executive, and be unified under the pacification envoy of the commander's department, and at the same time realize the separation of military and civilian. The commander appeased the commander and brought the following military officials into the general department of the Ma Bu Army, who was in charge of the military. In this way, the separation of military and government was completed, so as to realize the road-level administrative system by the Lu Shuai Division pacification envoy is responsible for civil affairs, Ma Bujun is responsible for the military, civil affairs with different functions, under the jurisdiction of the corresponding departments of the imperial court, personnel appointment by the emperor himself, and the military side of the Ma Bu Army General Department into the Privy Council management, and the current Shangshu Provincial Military Department is responsible for its logistics.
