Chapter 685 Cabinet
After carefully reading the restructuring note, Li Zhen pondered for a while, and said, "The Prince, there is a problem with the post of the post..."
Li Jing, who was sitting upright on the upper head, turned his eyes to Li Zhen and said with a smile: "Please tell me right servant."
Li Zhen's eyes met with Li Jing and asked, "By this, the rights of local states and provinces will be reduced, and the power will be concentrated in Daxingtai. However, in addition to the left and right of Daxingtai, the governor's office and the staff of the Five Army, and the General Staff, and the Supervision Office, and the Supervision Office. In addition, what organization are the Justice Department and the Procuratorate?"
"You Pushe asked, "Li Jing smiled and said, "The Supervision Department has been established and started to operate. I believe everyone has already understood its functions. The newly established Department of Justice and the Procuratorate are also very important. The Dachang Taichung has a Ministry of Justice. This Department of Justice is equivalent to the Ministry of Justice, but it is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice. Its functions are comparable to the Dali Temple in the court. It manages the judiciary in the five provinces and thirty prefectures under the Dachangtai. It sets courts in each prefecture, and each county sets courts to handle judicial litigation disputes. It also manages prefecture-county prisons and labor reform farms. The Supervision Department is equivalent to the Censorate established by the court, responsible for picking up, impeaching officials, rectifying disciplines, and can report on incidents, but has no judicial power. At the same time, the Supervision Department is also responsible for the investigation of corruption cases and the filing of prosecutions with the Judiciary."
After thinking for a moment, Li Zhen understood the functions of the three departments of the Supervision Department, the Justice Department, and the Procuratorate Department. The Supervision Department is an intelligence and spy agency directly belonging to the county prince, and the Justice Department is equivalent to most of the functions of the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice. The judicial power, case trial and judgment, and detaining prisoners in prefectures and counties were transferred to the Department of Justice. The Judicial Section, the Judicial Department, and the Judicial Bureau of the Justice Department belonged to the county magistrates, the prefecture's censors, and the provincial admirals.
The functions of the Supervision Office, which is the Censorate, are to report news, pick up officials, impeach officials, and rectify discipline. However, it is more powerful than the Censorate, and also has the power to investigate corruption cases and prosecute criminal cases.
The establishment of these institutions has become increasingly obvious that the prince of his family is increasingly disregarding the court and has begun to truly form his own small court. This change made Li Zhen unable to tell what it felt, but he was a little excited.
However, in this change, the rights of the Minister of War were distributed to the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the General Staff, and the rights of the Ministry of Justice were divided into a large part of the rights to the Department of Justice, which is a change worth pondering.
Jing Xiang, the Minister of War, was a little frightened now. He was originally the commander of the Yizhenjie, and was promoted to the Minister of War, and was the head of the six ministries. But in a blink of an eye, the Ministry of War became a clear water yamen that only cared about administration and logistics, and was the end of the six ministries. He was not worried about the restructuring of the Ministry of War. What he was worried about was whether Li Jing suddenly changed like this, and he did not trust him or something. After all, Jing Xiang had not been in the long term under Li Jing's command, and was always much worse than other senior officials.
Li Jing sat on the top and saw that Jing Xiang had been lowering his head, not feeling high, and understood what he was thinking.
"The newly formed General Staff Academy, I plan to be transferred from Jingxiang to the General Staff Academy, and Wang Pu will be promoted to the position of former Minister of War. The five governors of the Five Army Governor's Office will be Lin Wu as the governor of the Left Army, Zhao Feng as the governor of the Right Army, Wang Chong as the governor of the former army, Zeng Yuanyu as the governor of the rear army, and Lin Wei as the governor of the central army."
Originally, Li Jing planned to set up two governors in each of the Five Armies, but after considering it, there were not so many suitable generals at the moment, so he only set up one for the time being.
No one opposed this proposal. Seeing that Li Jing had removed the power of the Ministry of War, Jing Xiang immediately mentioned him to the General General's Office of Staff as the General Staff Envoy. He couldn't help but feel shocked and looked up at Li Jing with excitement. After all, the commander trusted him, and this was the position of the first in the military.
Li Jing chose to reorganize at this time and thought for a long time. The Daxingtai was just established, and the original Jiedushi of the Six Towns was transferred to Daxingtai, which was considered a promotion, so no one opposed them. At this time, the Liujieshou position was vacant and no one was on duty. At this time, the important position of Jiedushi, the Jiedushi, was abolished and abolished, would have little opposition. After all, the original position of Jiedushi had been promoted, and military generals who were qualified to serve could not be used as military officers. As for civil officials, on the one hand, there were few people with high qualifications, and on the other hand, no one had the position now.
In this way, after the most important position of Jiedu is abolished, the subsequent reform will be much smoother.
The Governor's Office of the Five Army, the General Staff, and the important positions in the third department and six provinces suddenly appeared a lot. Several civil and military officials who were originally qualified to serve as the position of Jieshou could be promoted, and everyone would naturally be satisfied.
Subsequently, Li Jing proposed that Gongsun Lan be the Chief of Supervision of Supervision, Li Meng be the Chief of the Judicial Office, and Li Wei be the Chief of the Procuratorate of the Third Department, and he was the Chief of the Third Department, and he was the Fourth Quarter.
Cui Yunqing was a little opposed to Li Jing's appointment of a woman as a formal official and an important institution as the Supervision Department. However, after Li Jing proposed that Gongsun Lan had always been in charge of the affairs of the former Xiaoqisi, no one insisted on it. After all, in the eyes of everyone, this Supervision Department was completely Li Jing's private intelligence agency, and it was normal for him to appoint a confidant.
After these positions are appointed and removed, what is really important is the appointment and removal of officials from the Five Elements Provinces. However, after the restructuring, although the territory of the province is larger than that of the Jiedushi, it has no rights anymore. However, although military generals and civil servants are restricted, this is also a province and is still very important.
Li Jing proposed to set up the Taizhan District in Liaodong City, which was also renamed Liaoyang. Li Jing also served as the governor of Liaodong Province, with Fu Wentong as the governor and Zhou Dewei as the governor.
In the remaining four provinces, Li Jing appointed Xiao Dingbang, Han Anguo, Song Wen and Han Zhong as governors of the four provinces in East, Beiping, Liaoxi and Anton. The admirals of the four provinces promoted the original four sages Sikong Tu and Luo Yin to the four governors. The four governors were Song Xi, Liu Jian, Xu Cheng and Cui Decheng.
Li Jing did not use Liu Shouqian and Zhang Chengzong's confidant as the governor of the five provinces, but in fact, the governor of this provincial government really had no rights.
After selecting the chief officers of the five provinces, the three departments, the General Staff, and the Five Army Governor's Office, Li Jing came up with a final plan.
Li Jing's last plan was to establish a cabinet based on the Bachelor of Wenhua Hall in addition to the rights center of the Daxingtai Shangshu Province.
Over the years, emperors had to divide the power of prime ministers, and often used eunuchs to restrain prime ministers. However, the great power and the deep harm of the eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty made Li Jing unable to continue this way. Now Li Jing's rights in the big streets, prefectures and provinces were weakened, and the rights were concentrated on the big streets. The left and right were equivalent to the prime ministers, and the rights were huge. The six ministries were also extremely powerful.
Although Li Jing established the General Staff Academy and divided the rights to ruling military aspects, other rights are still huge. The rights without constraints are uncontrollable.
Therefore, Li Jing thought about it and said that since he was unwilling to use eunuchs to restrain the prime minister's power, he finally appointed the cabinet system.
Unlike the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty, Li Jing's plan was to adhere to the prime minister system of the Tang and Song dynasties, and to use the left Pushe as prime minister, the right Pushe as secondary prime minister, and the six ministers as deputy prime minister. In addition, the Wenhua Palace scholars were selected as cabinet scholars, and they acted as eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty's ritual supervisors.
The core of this system is that the Shangshu Province has the right to draft votes, and Li Jing has the right to criticize the reds. Li Jing cannot decide all matters by himself. Therefore, most of the batch of reds will be handed over to the cabinet to write as Li Jing's wishes.
In this way, the last six ministries had administrative power, while the left and right ministries had administrative power, but the real decision-making power was in the hands of Li Jing and the cabinet.
The rank of the bachelor's degree in the cabinet is lower than that of the Six Ministers, and he is not allowed to hold positions in the Six Ministers, the Left and Right Pushe and the Left and Right Pushe. The Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, and the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, the Six Ministers, are not allowed to hold positions in the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, and the Six Ministers of the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, and the Six Ministers of the Left and Right Pushe, are not allowed to hold positions in the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, and the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, and the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, and the Left and Six Ministers of the Left and Right Pushe, are not allowed to hold positions in the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, and the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, and the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, and the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, and the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, and the Left and Six Ministers of the Left and Right Pushe, shall not hold positions in the Left and Right Pushe, and shall not hold positions in the Left and Right Pushe, the Left and Right Pushe, the Left
In this way, the Secretariat was the outer court, while the cabinet was the inner court, which restrained each other from the inside and the outside, but it strictly prohibited eunuchs and harems from interfering in politics.
In this way, the inner court and the outer court can ensure Li Jing's decision-making status.
If you want to compete for the world, Li Jing believes that these institutional things must be established early. The earlier you are found, the fewer obstacles will be encountered and the smaller the internal hidden dangers will be.
Although the system of the inner court and the outer court will inevitably lead to internal and external disputes, since ancient times, the power of the prime minister has been weakening, while the power of the monarch has been rising, and this dispute cannot be changed. Moreover, Li Jing always believed that the internal and external courts with mutual checks and balances are always the only one, which is better for the situation of power and ministers.
Everyone in the hall was the core personnel of Li Jing's court now. By this time, they had fully understood the purpose of Li Jing's restructuring.
Decentralization and balance!
There are separation of powers in the local area, including civil affairs, judicial and military powers, and the military powers are also divided into powers in command, military powers, and military powers are divided into powers. Now it is the core of the big business platform, and the administrative powers, administrative powers, and decision-making powers are also begun to separate powers.
I have to say that although this prince is old, he is very good at playing this trick and is decentralized everywhere, which actually means that the prince is centralized everywhere.
Financial powers are concentrated in Daxingtai, military powers are concentrated in Daxingtai, and administrative powers are also concentrated in Daxingtai.
Below Li Jing, the positions of the left and right Pushe and the Six ministries, which were originally extremely powerful, were already the only ones in the discussion and administrative power.
To fight against foreign countries, we must first settle the country!
This has always been Li Jing's political philosophy. If he cannot strengthen the internal force, then he only knows how to rush hard and beat hard will be just a flash in the pan.
For example, those external tribes invaded the Central Plains, and many tribes won consecutive wars and established regimes in military affairs, but in the end they could not last for a hundred years, or even fifty years.
There were more warlords in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, and five dynasties established central governments, but none of them could last for fifty years.
The reason is that Li Jing believes that they do not have a complete solid system at all.
For example, Li Keyong, the Hedong Army was extremely brave and had almost few enemy soldiers in the east and west. However, Li Keyong attacked from all sides and defeated one enemy after another. In fact, his strategic situation was getting worse and worse, and he was even killed by Zhu Wen to the city of Taiyuan.
Zhu Wen was a hero in his lifetime and replaced the Tang and Jianliang with the place where Xuanwu fought four times. However, as soon as he died, the Later Liang became a yellow flower yesterday. Even the last emperor Zhu Youzhen relied entirely on the Tianxiong Army Yang Shihou to make a living. The situation of warlords of all sizes in the Five Dynasties was basically the same, and there were also small warlords under the large warlords, and they were in chaos.
The Ultimate Mutiny was like a home-cooked meal.
Compared to rushing to attack the city and seize the land, Li Jing is actually more willing to be inside and then outside.
As long as the internal stability is stable, there will be no fear, and even if it is defeated temporarily, it will never scatter.
Everyone listened to Li Jing explaining the details of the tanning problem in detail. Even Cui Yunqing, Li Zhen, Jing Xiang, Gai Yu and others all understood that this new system would be implemented.
What everyone was thinking at this time was more about who would be responsible for this cabinet?
After all, if you are entangled in something meaningless like reform, what people are more concerned about is the changes that will be brought about later.
The left and right servants of Daxingtai will be equivalent to the prime minister and second minister, but there will also be the chief assistant and second assistant among the bachelors of this cabinet.
The inner court and the outer court will be truly lively next!
At this time, the officials of the general system were already calm.
The six chief officials of the General Office of the Five Army Governor's Office have been drafted, and the governors of the five provinces have also drafted them.
Although according to the new system, the generals above the battalion will not directly command troops during the war, and will only be appointed by the Secretary of the State to go to war, and will be transferred in three years. However, in the current war period, the commanders of each army can still lead the troops of his subordinates directly. The only change is that they will have to change positions in the next three years, and the military orders will be followed by the General Staff rather than the Ministry of War.
However, no matter what, the prince just added that the two positions of Staff General and General of the Central Army will be given the title of political participation like the Secretary of the Six Ministry of Ministers, becoming the prime minister who is equivalent to the court's common court affairs.
Jing Xiang and Lin Wei in the hall couldn't help but smile at the corners of their mouths.
Being able to participate in politics and become a member of the government power made the two veterans, both civil and military, feel much more excited.
In this world, even a steady person like Lin Wei cannot truly regard power as dirt!
The discussion finally ended, and a group of civil and military officials left the lobby.
Li Jing leaned on the chair with some fatigue. Gongsun Lan appeared in a palace outfit and handed it over with a cup of hot tea.
"Sanlang's restructuring this time touched a lot, but it would be great if it could be implemented." Gongsun Lan knew in advance that Li Jing would appoint her as the Chief of the Supervision Department. Although the Chief of the Supervision Department was a position that could not really manage the nine departments below, she was still very happy to be able to go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and become a fourth-rank official. In this life, she might not have the chance to marry Li Jing, but she was still very happy to be able to follow him like this.
Li Jing sipped the tea gently and said with a smile: "There is no way to reform the system. The current Jiedu system cannot be implemented. It is better, sooner or later, one day, the soldiers will be arrogant and the general will rebel."
"Can Sanlang trust the generals below?" Gongsun Lan asked unexpectedly.
Chapter completed!
