Chapter Seventy-One: Shi Zhixuan
On February 22, Shang Xiuxun brought 1,000 war horses and silver had been paid for 20,000 taels of silver and gold bricks one by one. \.//
After reading a few pages, she put down the scroll, went out of the study, and came into the courtyard, where she lived in the governor's mansion, and across a garden was the government hall, but this garden was the other world that was divided by heavy guards.
Houmen is as deep as the sea, not to mention those who call the king and the emperor.
Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but hate herself, why did she come with her, during the ten days along the way, Zhang Xuanning talked and laughed, and her witty words were like pearls, which made her fall down, but as soon as she arrived at Huiji City, she was heavily armored and unexpected, and suddenly made the boundary between the two clear.
Just a few tens of meters away, it is the end of the world.
In Zhang Xuanning's study, several important subordinates are already there.
Although he officially ascended the throne as king on January 1, Zhang Xuanning's personal guards have been renamed "imperial guards" in advance, and the current establishment is 2,500, all of which have been carefully selected.
The commander of the imperial guard is still Zhang Zhongyi, and the following is still Liusu, and the establishment will be expanded to about 10,000 in the future, but the candidates for the imperial guard must not only be brave, but also loyal and reliable, so this is the only point now.
In the study, under a row of windows, outside is a garden with rain and snow. A row of chairs is placed on each side, separated by a long coffee table, which is actually what the future conference table will look like, but it is only implemented here, because it is not in line with the etiquette, and the ministers are too respectful.
Of course, sitting on his head was Zhang Xuanning, and Zhang Xuanning was wearing a four-clawed golden-horned white dragon at this time. His eyes were bright and calm, and he was holding the teacup and sipping tea, and the whole person exuded extraordinary royal strength.
In this era, although the monarchy flourished through the Qin and Han dynasties, the courtiers were not too humble, generally speaking, of course, those who were too disparity had to stand and speak, but the core courtiers were in front of the emperor, and they all had to "sit and talk". Even the prime minister had to stand and speak, which began in the Song Dynasty.
At this time, the place that is qualified to sit and speak, first of course, is Li Bo, and secondly, Yu Xuan, Wei Zheng, Li Baiyao, and Lu Miaozi, which are now the core of the imperial court.
Each of them was given a document and knew the general structure of the court.
Zhang Xuanning knows that each era has its specific background, but in general. It is still possible to go one step further, so he did not hesitate to implement the "seven-ministry cabinet system" in the central government
The decision-making power is finally in the hands of the king (emperor), and the cabinet members are divided into two types, one is the ruling and the other is the participation in politics.
The Prime Minister has parliamentary power, and the executive power is divided into seven ministries. At the local level, there are three divisions, which are in charge of judicial, military, and administrative. Directly responsible for the six departments.
The cabinet has the power of "vote", in other words, all political affairs are gathered in the cabinet, and the prime ministers join the six books to give opinions on various documents one by one. Finally, it was sent to the emperor for approval along with the original document.
In this way, in fact, the king (emperor) is diligent in government, but he can read them one by one, and if he is not diligent, he can rely on the cabinet to operate, which is actually the expansion of the prime minister's power, and everyone present is very clear.
In terms of system, it has been stipulated that it is related to the political affairs of the world. The normal way is the cabinet vote, the emperor Zhu approved, this is the official will, without going through the cabinet to issue the will, most of it is a private matter, a will, or an unimportant matter, called the middle will.
Otherwise, the Cabinet can dismiss it. In other words, the decree of the Emperor without first going through the Cabinet was only the Emperor's personal opinion. It is arbitrary and error-prone, and the cabinet can seal the decree.
Of course, the king (emperor) holds the supreme power, and after the three seals, it will be issued, which is also a helpless thing, but in this way, the pressure on the emperor's public opinion is very great.
In addition, the "seven departments" are the seven ministries of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, industry, and commerce, which do not belong to the jurisdiction of the cabinet, but directly belong to the king (emperor), and the cabinet has no power to appoint and dismiss, but it is a semi-commander-in-chief in political affairs.
Don't think that the emperor's power is restricted, in fact, the rejection of the emperor's decree, since the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang, Song, and Ming, are all systems, until the Qing Dynasty emperor really dictated the world, Zhu Yuanzhang's example is a rare case, and this kind of system is also conducive to the operation of the entire country.
In the cabinet, the ruling level chapter is the second product, the political participation level chapter is the third product, and the various ministries are still the third product.
At the local level, the county is built at the second level, the county is too upright and the five products are upright, and the county order is up and down the seven products.
"You don't have an opinion, right?"
"The ministers have no objections. Everyone present said.
"Since this is the case, then implement it according to this system, Li Bojia is in charge of Pingzhangshi, Yu Xuan, Wei Zheng, Li Baiyao, Lu Miaozi, you and the other four people, plus participating in politics and Pingzhangshi, but at this time, the number is too small, and you wait to take charge of the ministries first. Zhang Xuanning put down the teacup with a graceful expression, and said indifferently: "Mr. is the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Yu Yu is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wei Zheng is the secretary of the Ministry of Crime, Li Baiyao is the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Lu Miaozi is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Commerce
"The ministers have no objections. "None of the people present had an opinion.
Zhang Xuanning's brilliant gaze turned to everyone's faces, nodded and said: "In this way, in general, the central government can also operate, and it will naturally be slowly replenished in the future, and each county will also set up a guard, you wait for the recommendation list to come up, sir, this is up to you." ”
Li Bo said respectfully: "The ministers receive the order." ”
In fact, he used to be in charge of political affairs, and although he is still the first prime minister, the power has been divided in fact, but this is also a matter of course - if this continues, it will obviously lead to conflicts between the monarch and the minister, no matter how careful it is, it is inevitable.
Now, on the contrary, it is a good thing, and the steady establishment and consolidation of power has also enabled the new regime to pass the most critical first hurdle, which is also because the people present, all officials or families, know how to advance and retreat, if it is a peasant uprising, this is the first step, and it is strange that there is no purge and infighting.
Zhang Xuanning laughed and said, "Okay, Lone is very happy. Sir, how are the preparations going for the enthronement ceremony?"
"Your Majesty, preparations have been completed, and on the first day of January, you will definitely be able to ascend the throne, but in the past month, small groups of troops in the vicinity have come to vote. It was divided into hundreds of branches, and the number of people reached as many as 180,000, and the king was asked to show how to deal with it. ”
After the momentum, it is a matter of course that there is a tide of refuge like a river into the sea, and there was one when Du Fu was prosperous, and I remember the history. Lin Shihong was originally proclaimed emperor next year, and more than 100,000 people also took refuge, but compared with Li Valve's first battle to take Chang'an, dozens of counties and hundreds of counties in Guanzhong took refuge together, which is still a big deal.
Anyway, this is a good thing, but if it is not handled properly, it will become a big disaster again, Zhang Xuanning said: "These people wait. Although it is a thief army, it can be transferred to the war, many of them have cores, and they are familiar with the township, so they should not be underestimated, you go down and count. The first selection will be carried out first. ”
"Elect those who are fifteen years old and forty years old and under forty years old as the number of soldiers, and then according to the number of soldiers, confer on each chief the official position, according to our system, the number of officers at all levels shall have their own personal soldiers, and they may choose their own henchmen and fill the other soldiers. All of them will be dismantled and reorganized, and then given to the army after training. ”
It is impossible to break up all of them at once, and the people who will come to take refuge will be chilled, but if they do not do this at all, it will lead to uneven orders and loss of combat effectiveness, and it will also make the army too private from the beginning, so the only way is to compromise the way. If they refuse to do so, they would rather be hostile than co-opt.
Stronger than the Wagang Army. When it was a million, it collapsed when it failed, which was actually because it could not be unified and reorganized.
"In the future battle, will be surrendered to the enemy defeated army, the strong can be absorbed, the weak all disarmed and returned to the field, because of the hostility, so can be for the county service for three years, the south on the whole reclamation is not much, just tuntian as a plan, the reclamation of the good land, can also be rewarded to the meritorious ministers. Zhang Xuanning groaned for a while, and then said: "Try to complete the preliminary inventory before ascending the throne, after Gu ascends the throne, the first thing is the big vassals, they can also be among them, so as not to lose their hopes!"
"The ministers obeyed. ”
"What else?"
"How is the king sure of the country name, what is the year name?" Although it has already been decided, but it is still necessary to reaffirm Zhang Xuanning's meaning, in front of everyone's eyes, Zhang Xuanning drank another cup of tea, although it was a little cold, but this kind of occasion is not suitable for courtiers to enter, and after waiting for a while, he happily said: "Tang is the name of the country, and the name of the year is called Wude! ”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands and said, "Spread my will and summon Fang Xuanling." ”
There was not much time, a middle-aged scholar who was nearly forty years old came in, this person was calm and relaxed, dressed in white, after coming in, he saluted Zhang Xuanning, smiled slightly, and saluted the ministers, indescribably calm and free, and suddenly made everyone flash a look of admiration and appreciation.
"Xuan Ling is a person of the Fang clan, and he is a native of Qizhou. When he was eighteen years old, he was raised as a jinshi in this state, and was successively awarded the rank of lieutenant of the feather cavalry and the lieutenant of the city, and yesterday I came, and a conversation made me admire, and some words even moved me, Xuan Ling, you are in front of you today, and say it again. "Fang Xuanling, of course, he attaches great importance to it, and sent out an invitation early, but he has a family land, although it is said that it is a big family, and it doesn't matter if many children are divided into several families, such as the Zhuge family back then, the three sons served Wei, Wu, and Shu respectively, but they always have to take some risks.
It wasn't until recently that Zhang Xuanning occupied six counties in a row, and it was rumored that he was Yang Su's grandson and got the news that Yang Gong's treasure land, and the Wagang army was prosperous, the north and south were cut off, and the world would be chaotic, so he decided to come after long-term consideration.
It's just that he came a little late, and it is impossible to directly award it to high-ranking officials, so he introduced the ministers first and slowly promoted them in the future.
Although a mere city captain is nothing, a mere Fang Xuanling, no one has heard of it, but the Qinghe Fang family is a Han family in the world, although now the Han family has no power and no soldiers, compared to the Hu family, it is already vulnerable, and there is no real strength at all, but in the intellectual circles, public opinion circles, it is still quite influential, he can come, not to mention anything else, just say that this influence is also worth noting.
"Like the battle of today,
Cut, in the situation is not fighting, whoever can gain the power can win the world. ”
"The powerful, the heavens, the earth, the people, the heroes and the strong in the sky, the earth wins, and the people, if the king of Tang wins the world, he will be cautious!"
"Since the Wuhu, the Chinese clothes are cheap, the family has fallen, although the Sui is a spring and autumn ceremony, but it is also a heavy Hu, and now the Tang King wants to rise. You have to take this game to win. ”
"I also ask the king of Tang to forgive me for my sins, the father of the king of Tang is Yang Xuangan, his grandfather Yang Su, Wei Guogong, great-grandfather Yang Fu, the character Wenyan, and the ancestor Yang Xuan, the word Xuanhe, is a doctor. Yang Xuan's father, Yang Jun, Sikong Gong. Posthumously sealed Linzhen County Bo, said "Gong", Yang Xuan's grandfather Yang En, Hejian Taishou. Yang Xuanzhi's ancestor Yang Hui, Luozhou Thorn History, Hengnong Gong. ”
"The king's branch, from Yang Zhen - Yang Feng - Yang Fu - Yang Zhong - Yang Pin - Yang (Yang Bing, Yang Jun, Yang, Yang Ji) - Yang Chao - Yang Jie - (Yang You, Yang En) - Yang Jun - Yang Xuan (Yang Xuan, Yang Mu, Yang Jian, Yang Kuan) - Yang Fu - Yang Su (Yang Su, Yang Yue, Yang Shen, Yang Yue) - Yang Jishan (Yang Xuangan, Yang Xuanting, Yang Jishan), and then to the king, are all after the Chinese nobles. There is no doubt that this is a family!"
"Now the Hu people have been ravaging Shenzhou for 200 years, stealing in China for more than ten years, taking my Chinese nobles as untouchables, the people are disgusted, and the heavens are evil. In this way, if you still don't recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, when will you wait for the king's holy judgment!" Fang Xuanling finished speaking, and fell to the ground.
In fact, there was more to say yesterday, and it was necessary to be careful, and the key is three points
First. If you don't attract your own family to fight against her, I am afraid that the king's foundation will be in vain, and maybe it will fall into the hands of the Song family.
Second, the king is in the south, and the south has been looking forward to the rise of the Han people for a long time, especially the Sui family's large-scale killing and cleansing of the southern clans, which is even more resentful, coupled with the prestige of his grandfather. As long as you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, you will immediately get the response of the nearby counties, and you will get more than a dozen counties without a fight, so that the overall situation in the south has been decided!
Third, with this prestige, whether it is a family or an official, there is less resistance, and there is a lot of joining emotion, and the difficulty of your current lack of talents. It can be solved in one fell swoop.
Originally, Zhang Xuanning refused to change his surname, saying that the same surname would not succeed the world. It's all an excuse, the key is to commemorate the previous life, but it's been four years in this world, and he has almost solved this knot, so when he talks about the pros and cons like this, he was suddenly moved, knowing that this change of surname, at this just right time, is even comparable to the power of five Yang Gong treasures.
The heart has already recognized, so it is introduced.
Among the ministers, Li Bo, Yu Xuan, Wei Zheng, Li Baiyao, Lu Miaozi and others were all overjoyed, especially Lu Miaozi, Yang Su's former minister, said with a smile: "It should be like this, Xuan Ling doesn't say it, I have to say it." ”
"In this case, on January 1st, first worship the ancestors and change their surnames to recognize their ancestors, and then worship the heavens and ascend the throne!" Zhang Xuanning, ah, no, now it is Yang Xuanning, and he said with great joy: "Xuan Lingqing can be a waiter for the Ministry of Commerce." ”
The great event has been decided, and after the ministers have withdrawn, another false deed has come before to tell the matter.
Hearing the news, Yang Xuanning was taken aback.
"Don't worry, the king has prepared a thousand crossbows, and there are armor soldiers, no matter how strong this person is, it is difficult to threaten the king. Seeing this, he said.
"Well, summon the letter of Roth, and we will see this man again. Yang Xuanning thought about it and said it anyway.
"Obey. ”
Out of the room, the snow was fluttering outside, and there was a crystal light on the stairs.
Since he wants to be the king, of course the governor's mansion has to be renovated, although it is only partial, not much moved, but there are also large changes, walking slowly along the path of the gravel paved garden next to the pool, and there is a white snow in the distance.
There was not much time, Luo Shixin was wearing heavy armor and led dozens of masters to see the entourage, plus at this time, the various Taoist families in the south had already benefited, and their children came to escort and walk in the palace, and the masters slowly enriched their defenses, although they were still a little weak, but they also had a strong defensive force.
When the guards arrived, everyone crossed the path and came to a courtyard, and the eyes suddenly opened up, and the pavilions and pavilions blended into the surrounding environment.
When I climbed the steps, I was greeted by a guard, and when I entered it, I saw a man standing in the pavilion, drinking tea.
It was the middle of winter, the weather was very cold, but this person looked down on the canal flowing below by the railing, wearing Confucian clothes, wearing brocade robes, tall and straight, chic and good-looking, with a little gray temples, there is an indescribable charm and temperament.
The gaze turned around, cold as ice and snow, as if it did not contain any human feelings, and held the wine glass in his hand, crystal clear, as if containing infinite magic.
Yang Xuanning felt a chill in his heart, but he was not affected, and walked up to the pavilion with his soldiers and masters, and said slowly: "Shi Zhixuan, you are finally here." ”
Shi Zhixuan's eyes stared at the endless canal water under the pavilion, sighed deeply, and said in a calm tone: "King Tang knows that I have many secrets, and he specially sent people to invite me many times, how dare I not come." ”
