Chapter 677 The small court is beginning to take shape
(Thanks to Piaomiao Feng and Dafeng Baozi for their monthly ticket support. Thank you everyone, I am always moved!)
As the end of the year approaches, the General Mansion began to prepare for the New Year's Festival. This year, Goguryeo was destroyed, and the entire middle and lower reaches of the Liao River and the lower reaches of the Yalu River were captured, plus the two prefectures of the Liaoxi Corridor and the Jitan Prefectures of Yanshan.
In the fifth year of Qianfu, Li Jing's territory suddenly expanded by more than three times.
Although wars broke out in the Central Plains, the territory of Northeast Road was a year of great harvest and joy. Last year not only achieved great military victory, but also a year of great harvest of grain. Thanks to the Northeast Development Plan and the launch of various infrastructure construction, Dengzhou's handicraft manufacturing and trade were also extremely prosperous, and the minerals in each state were also very popular.
After winning so many battles, it is a turbulent time now.
Under such circumstances, Li Jing had already planned with Li Rang and others to give a large reward to the soldiers. At the same time, in order to allow those Goguryeo who moved to Denglai in Ziqing and Denglai and the Han people in the Central Plains who moved to the northeast to have a richer New Year, Li Jing was also preparing to draw out a sum of money to buy various New Year goods and distribute them to them, which was also a kind of subsidy.
Li Rang and others agreed with Li Jing's proposal. This holiday gift was mainly about sending physical goods, which was another large government order. While the shop owners made a fortune, the coach's mansion could also get a tax in the end.
As the New Year approaches, the New Year atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. People are taking the saved New Year's money to buy New Year's goods everywhere. With the food and clothing, everyone has some extra money, so the New Year naturally has to be richer. Pull a few feet of flower cloth for the wife at home to make new clothes, buy a few kilograms of cotton for the children, make a warm cotton robe for each person, and buy a door god to fight the New Year beast. Buy new peach talismans. In addition, it is also popular to paste couplets in front of the door during the New Year and paste the word "Fu" on the door. These are naturally indispensable. Since other people's families have it, their own family does not lack these two dollars, of course they have it.
In addition, you have to buy some candy cubes, melon seeds, hawthorns, hazelnuts, pears, oranges, and so on. You have to buy some tea and entertain guests. During the Chinese New Year, wine is naturally indispensable. In addition, you have to have fresh vegetables such as cabbage and cabbage. Now you have some extra money in your hand, so you will naturally have to be richer this year. You have to buy chickens and ducks, and you have to buy more fish. You have to buy twenty or thirty kilograms of pork, and then buy some mutton and beef.
There are men and women with satisfaction and pride smiles everywhere, with children or daughter-in-law around them, and they are filled with joy.
At this time, Li Jing sat in the golden palace of Goguryeo and discussed matters with the generals.
The Daming Newspaper suddenly published an article about the announcement that the four towns wanted to support Li Jing as the emperor, which really shocked Li Jing. This incident soon spread to various towns in Liaodong, causing discussion among soldiers and the people of the people, workers and merchants below.
Everyone argued with each other and formed three opinions. Some people believed that Li Tang was the righteous and did not want to see Li Jing become a traitor. This part represents the concept of most people at present, that is, they have become accustomed to the situation where the vassal states are strong and independent while continuing to respect Li Tang as the righteous and honest. Everyone is accustomed to the current situation over the years and is willing to see that the town is strong and independent, but they do not want the vassal states to completely oppose the Tang Dynasty. Instead, they are willing to see that the vassal states and the court are like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Zhou royal family and the princes.
After all, this idea is certainly related to the current situation in the past century after the Anshi Rebellion of Tang. After all, the vassal states are strong and independent. As long as they do not rebel against the Tang Dynasty, everyone will live a peaceful life and the people will live a stable life. But once they rebel against the Tang Dynasty, the court is forced to fight with it. When the war comes, the people will inevitably suffer. This is all learned from the past. No matter who wins and who loses in the end, the people will suffer the most in the war. Now that the life of the towns in Northeast Road is so good, who would like to suddenly leave such a life. Therefore, everyone is more content with the status quo and does not want to bear the war caused by changes.
Another group of people supported the marshals and simply opposed the Tang Dynasty. After all, everyone controlled the town to change the territory after Li Jing was under the jurisdiction of the town. Everyone had a jar of food, a house with wind and rain, and clothes to avoid the cold. Everyone had a good job, and their children could study well, and even had scholarships. If they didn't study well, they could also send them to the military academy. This kind of life was something they didn't dare to imagine before. Everyone knew that this kind of life was rare, and no one was willing to go back.
In the past, when I heard the newspaper that the four towns in Hebei were willing to regard Li Shuai as the emperor and overthrow the Tang Dynasty together, everyone was very excited and supported. In everyone's opinion, it was not impossible to have the support of the four towns in Hebei, and the princes led the army of the country and replaced it. If Li Jing became the emperor of the world, everyone's life would definitely get better and better, and they would no longer be worried. They were always worried that after waking up, they would find that the current beautiful life was just a dream.
Of course, there are still many people who have no opinions at all. No matter what the newspapers say to everyone, they just watched and listened to it.
After learning about the discussion outside, Li Jing sent a lot of people to collect everyone's opinions and finally concluded the investigation results.
At this stage, about 60% of the people are actually willing to support Li Jing as a separatist vassal state, but they also oppose Li Jing's anti-Tang. And about 30% of the people support Li Jing's anti-Tang at this time, believing that Li Jing's replacement of the Tang Dynasty could allow everyone to live a better life. With about 10% of the people left, they have no idea about this problem and just follow the crowd.
This investigation result made Li Jing understand the ideas and ideas of most people at present. Even the people who benefited from him under Zhen** rule did not support the anti-Tang Dynasty, so there would definitely be more people in other Tang dynasties.
Li Jing had no intention of opposing Tang at this time, and when he saw this, he became more determined to his plan.
Not long after that issue of the Daming News, the court sent an envoy to formally award Li Jing the Minister of the Northeast Road Daxingtai, the second rank. He also ordered Li Jing, the officials under the Northeast Road Daxingtai, to be selected and appointed by Li Jing.
Li Jing was not only unexpected but also somewhat expected when he received this edict.
This is obviously because of the consequences of the support of the four towns in Hebei. The court reacted quickly and was generous in favour.
It was actually a big street in Northeast Road. This big street in Taiwan was the same rank as the Shangshu Ling of the Central Court. Although it seemed to be lower in value than the Shangshu Ling of the Central Court. But in fact, given Li Jing's actual separatist rule in the Northeast, the court gave this position completely and completely let Li Jing completely separatist rule in the Northeast.
In the future, Li Jing will be able to truly establish a small court, manage the Northeast with full authority, and become the veritable King of the Northeast.
However, Li Jing also clearly understood that the more eager the court was to increase the ranks, the more generous the titles were to increase the titles. The more it showed that the court was deeply afraid of him.
Every time the court adds an official position to Li Jing, it does not mean that the court relies on Li Jing and expects him, but its fear of Li Jing. If this continues, either Li Jing completely rebels against the king, or the court finally frees up his hands to liquidate Li Jing, and there is no possibility that they will go back to the past.
However, both the court and Li Jing understood that they could never go back to the past.
He gently tapped the table. Li Jing said loudly: "Everyone, the angel has just brought His Majesty's edict. Your Majesty is very satisfied with us destroying Goguryeo, regaining the land of Andong, and promoting the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. He specially issued an order to reward all the soldiers of the army. Moreover, from today on, the Northeast Daxingtai will be established in the six towns in the northeast. This king will serve as the Minister of the Northeast Daxingtai from now on. The rest of the subordinate officials will be appointed and removed by the King. The Northeast Daxingtai will represent the court to fully handle the military, political and civil affairs of the six towns, 21 prefectures and 100 counties."
As soon as these words came, the civil servants and generals in the palace were all happy and extremely happy.
In this way, Li Jing's status in the towns in the northeast was completely consolidated, without any loopholes, and was legal and reasonable. This position made these two officials who were more inclined to temporarily govern the military and military affairs of each town, and further consolidated the order of the 200,000 troops in the northeast region.
Northeast Road Daxingtai-six towns-twenty-one prefectures-one hundred counties, the entire Northeast region has formed a complete four-level administrative distinction.
Everyone knew what this meant, and their faces were filled with excitement.
Li Jing said loudly: "Now I announce the appointment and removal of Taiwan's official position in the Northeast Road Main Station!"
The hall was quiet for a while, and this was the establishment of the small court. Once the Great Station of Northeast Road was established, it would almost be the ruling institution of the entire Northeast region. If Li Jing led everyone to conquer the world in the future, the various official positions of this small court might basically be the positions of all the heroes in the Golden Palace in the future.
"The Minister of Shangshu of the Northeast Road was appointed by a certain person. He was under the command of the left and right Pushe. He was appointed as the second rank of Cui Yunqing, the Left Pushe, and the Left Pushe, and the Right Pushe, the Left Pushe, the Left Pushe, the Left Pushe, the Left Pushe, the Left Pushe, the Left Pushe, the Left Pushe, the Left Pushe, the" of Li Zhen," said a member of the Left Pushe, a member of the Left Pushe, the Left Pushe, the" of Li Zhen."
Under the order of the Shangshu of Li Jing, the most important position was the left and right Pushe. There were many people who were qualified to hold these two official positions. Not only the commander of the Six Towns, but also the commanders of each army were also qualified to compete. As everyone speculated, Li Jing finally handed over these two important positions to civil servants. And if nothing unexpected happened, the most important position of the left Pushe was handed over to Cui Yunqing, a teacher with respect in the Northeast Dao, who was the smallest of his own power. The position of the right Pushe was no exception to Li Zhen and Li Xingxu, who had always been the first strategist under Li Jing.
Cui Yunqing and Li Zhendu each served as the governor of a town, Jie Zheng and a state, and now he is the Minister of the Xingtai Shangshu Province, and his authority is amazing.
However, Li Jing then announced another appointment, which shocked everyone. Li Jing announced that Cui Yunqing would be removed from his post as the governor of the Funing Army of Zibo and Qingzhou, and Li Zhen would be removed from his post as the governor of the ** governor of Denglai Town and Dengzhou.
When Cui Yunqing and Li Zhen heard this appointment, they were not surprised at all. The others immediately understood that Li Jing must have discussed such an important matter with these two people in advance. Judging from Li Jing's style of conduct, the prince's favorite thing is the way of balance, and it will never be easy to grasp too much power. Now that Cui Yunqing and Li Zhen have been promoted to serve as the left and right servants of Xingtai, it is impossible for them to serve as the commander of the Zhenzhen. This is also the way of balance! In fact, it is similar to the situation in the court. They either have to be a general or become prime minister. If they want to be the prime minister and the governor, they can only be the prime minister, not the real prime minister.
Judging from Li Jing’s arrangement, it is obvious that he is entering the industry and cannot hold important positions in each town.
The official positions of Xingtai are completely imitated by the Central Secretariat. There are official positions in Xingtai.
Behind the left and right servants, the most important ones are the six ministers. However, the six central ministries are headed by officials, while Xingtai is headed by the Ministry of War.
Li Jing also considered the candidate for the Minister of War for a long time, and even discussed with Li Zhen, Cui Yunqing and others. Li Jingchu wanted to use military generals as the Minister of War, but after thinking about it over and over again, considering the current ordinary atmosphere of the late Tang Dynasty, he still planned to use civil officials as the main officials and then use military generals as the deputy.
"Jing Xiang was appointed as the Minister of War of Daxingtai, the third rank. He was dismissed from Jingxiang as the governor of the Pinglu Army in Liaoxi and the governor of Yingzhou. He was appointed as the fourth rank of the Minister of War of Daxingtai, and was dismissed from Lin Wei as the Minister of War of Pingzhou. He was dismissed from Lin Wei as the Minister of the Pingzhou Defense Envoy, and was dismissed from Pei You's naval army as the governor of the military commander."
One order after another was issued, and the original important officials of the entire Northeast Road made a huge change.
Cui Yunqing is the left servant, and Li Zhen is the right servant.
Jingxiang was the Minister of War, Gai Yu was the Minister of Personnel, Li Rang was the Minister of Revenue, Guo Cheng'an was the Minister of Works, Li Liang was the Minister of Rites, and Li Chun was the Minister of Justice.
Each of the six ministries had two servants, two doctors, two Yuanwailang, and two supervisors. Each ministries had four divisions, and six ministries had twenty-four divisions. Each department was mainly a doctor, and one Yuanwailang was the deputy. Each department had one Langzhong, two Yuanwailang and four supervisors.
In addition to the six ministers of the left and right ministry, there is also one minister in the fourth-rank Daxingtai, one minister in the left and right ministry, one minister in the seventh-rank Daxingtai, and six minister in the ninth-rank Daxingtai.
The original six towns of the six towns of the court coach Cui Yunqing, Li Zhen, Jing Xiang, Gai Yu, Guo Cheng'an and Li Liang all entered the Daxingtai, and their original positions of the court coach were all vacant.
There are more than 100 officials of the entire Daxingtai. Li Jing has temporarily appointed and removed only the left and right servants, the left and right ministers, the six ministers, and two ministers of the Ministry of War. Most of the remaining official positions are temporarily vacant and need to be discussed with the officials.
However, six positions of military governors and six positions of governors were suddenly vacant, which made many of the military leaders present look hot.
Although Li Jing has always been accustomed to serving as a civil servant and a governor, now Li Zhen and others have been promoted to Daxingtai. For a time, in terms of qualifications and reputation, no one can be appointed as the candidate for the commander of the six towns, such as Lin Wu and Wang Chong.
In fact, Li Jing has no suitable candidate for the Jieshou Commander now. Li Jing has always avoided appointing military generals as Jieshou Commander. Li Jing had also thought about removing the position of Jieshou Commander, but for the time being, he could not do so.
Li Jing couldn't accept that officials from Daxingtai served as the governor. In Li Jing's plan, he wanted to take advantage of the establishment of Daxingtai to reduce the rights of the leaders of the towns and take all the rights to Daxingtai.
