Valley Emperor

Valley Emperor

If Li Xuan wants to pursue judicial independence, the people who support him the most are naturally the people from the Inspectorate, especially Shi Wuyan, the current censor of the Inspectorate Zuodu, who is in favor.

Because of the complete independence of the judiciary, this means that the Inspectorate can completely get rid of the influence of the cabinet, so his political status will be much higher, and his words in the imperial study will be more important, not compared with the present Awkward.

At present, the core of the power of the Tang Dynasty is basically concentrated in the imperial study. Although there is no clear statement, it is undeniable that the imperial study of the Tang Dynasty has become an institution similar to the cabinet of the former Ming Dynasty.

It has many powers, not only limited to administrative power, but also military power, because the ministers on duty and the ministers of walking in the imperial study also have representatives of the military.

At present, it is Hao Bainian, the real boss of the army, who represents the army in the imperial study, but he is not the same as Lei Wan.

As for Admiral Lei Wan, he officially resigned from the imperial study this year, and also stepped down from the position of the head of the war department, and turned to serve as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

The deputy envoy of the Privy Council, this is a position specially arranged by Li Xuan for many army leaders. It is also the highest-level position in the army in the Tang Empire. Only the rank of general can be held.

However, this position is more like an honorary position. If there is no other assignment, then it is just a vacant position.

So far, the number of generals who have served as deputy envoys of the Privy Council has reached nine. According to Li Xuan's arrangement, the number of deputy envoys of the Privy Council will basically be maintained at more than five and ten people for a long time in the future. the following scale.

In the future, Li Xuan also decided that he would not transfer the generals of the various ministries of the Privy Council to the imperial study, but would only be selected from the deputy envoys of the Privy Council, which could be regarded as an adjustment to the current army's job system.

After all, in the past, the head of the war department like Lei Wan directly served as the minister of the imperial study, but he put aside the real generals like Hao Bainian. Although it is said that the authority of the real generals can be controlled, but over the years, Hao Bainian and other military leaders have They are all honestly staying in Jinling City, if there is no imperial decree, they will not even take the initiative to leave Jinling City.

This kind of performance, of course, is to protect their own lives and avoid causing Li Xuan's suspicion, and Li Xuan also saw it.

As the saying goes, for the loyalty of the courtiers, Li Xuan still has to reward them and let them lead the troops directly. That is impossible, because in the current military system of the Tang Empire, generals with the rank of lieutenant general are commanded. An army, and in the Tang Empire, an army is basically responsible for an entire theater, and does not need a higher command structure.

At least not currently!

In order to give the next generation of generals a chance to be promoted, maintain an upward channel, and at the same time to control the troops, it is impossible for Li Xuan to assign generals at the level of generals to the field troops.

Unless there is a major battle that requires the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of people in the future, in this case, generals at the level of generals will be dispatched to the front line to command the army.

However, this situation is estimated to be unlikely to occur in the next few decades!

In this way, how to arrange these outstanding generals is actually a hassle. Those who can arrange these generals are also the ministers of the Privy Council, and above the ministers, Li Xuan has specially appointed a deputy to the Privy Council. Then select personnel from the deputy envoys of the Privy Council to join the Imperial Study, which constitutes a whole new set of high-level promotion system.

Of course, not every general can join the Imperial Study Room, and there are still a small number of people who can join the Imperial Study Room, but at least it gives them a hope.

In any case, every minister who can enter the imperial study room, whether civil or military, is already the pinnacle of the Tang Empire.

But even in the imperial study room, although the ministers on duty all have the same status in name, there are actually differences, and most of these people's status comes from the institutions behind them.

Among them, Liu Bagou had the highest political status. Naturally, his power did not come from the part-time Ministry of Agriculture. In fact, he ignored the affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture. His power came more from the prestige of the elders of the two dynasties.

Then came the representatives of the army and navy, namely Army Admiral Hao Bainian and Admiral Ouyang Gui.

Ouyang Gui succeeded Bao Yifen as the minister on duty in the imperial study last year. Unlike Admiral Lei Wan, who did not retire, but became the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Bao Yifen directly retired and became a reserve officer.

It's not that Li Xuan is dissatisfied with him, or that he has any political problems, but because his body can't hold it anymore. He has served as the minister on duty in the imperial study for a long time, and the head of the military command department under the naval commander. Bao Yifen's work is very good. I was so busy that last year I couldn't hold it anymore.

When he was less than fifty years old, he became bedridden when he fell ill, and finally had no choice but to retire from active service and become a reserve.

Over the years, Bao Yifen and Bao Yifen have retired due to age, injury and other reasons, or they are civil servants who have made official careers. In fact, there are many, many more. After all, the years are ruthless. A courtier, even someone like Hao Bainian, was only in his twenties back then, but now he is in his forties.

As for Liu Bagou, he was nearly fifty years old back then, and now he is in his sixties.

In other words, Liu Bagou's body is still strong, so he can hold it, but he won't be able to do it for a few years.

In recent years, although many old courtiers have gradually left the core high-level positions of the empire, this is not a climax. Li Xuan estimates that there will be another five or six years. I am afraid that it will be difficult to see the old courtiers around him.

There is no other reason, the years make people grow old!

They can defeat the powerful Qianming, follow Li Xuan to conquer this huge country, and promote the continuous expansion of the Tang Empire to the surrounding area, but they are still unable to defeat time!

Over the years, the representatives of the army and navy in the imperial study have all completed their rotation.

However, Hao Bainian and Ouyang Gui, who are newly recruited to the Imperial Study, are the same as their predecessors. In the Imperial Study, they stick to their duties and keep in mind the principle of separation of military and government. As long as the matter does not involve military affairs, they will basically not publish anything. Opinion.

Although it is very important to say that they speak, but in most cases they do not speak.

In addition to the military representatives, there are three big names in the cabinet: the Minister of Taxation, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Minister of Commerce. Among them, Qian Yuli has always been the Minister of Taxation. Although he is often talked about of impeachment, he is not. Is always sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

At the same time, because it controls the tax department, and the tax department is a self-contained system, in the imperial study, except for Liu Bagou, they basically don't give much face to others.

Although the heads of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Commerce have changed several times, each newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Commerce is not a simple person.

In this comparison, on the contrary, the censors of the Zuodu of the Inspectorate, the president of the Grand Court, and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, the three people who spoke in the imperial study were relatively light.

The bachelor of the Hanlin Academy speaks lightly, because they dare not speak, because the Hanlin Academy is too special, and they dare to easily get involved in large-scale struggles.

As for the Inspectorate and the Grand Court, no one listens to what they say.

There is no way. Although the two institutions, the Inspectorate and the Grand Court, are independent in name, they are too much restrained, and they are not strong enough, so naturally no one listens.

However, if the judiciary is completely independent, then the Inspectorate and the Grand Court can be completely freed from the constraints of other departments of the cabinet, which will also make Shi Wuyan speak more rigidly when reflected in the imperial study.

Therefore, the independence of the judiciary is a good thing for the two institutions of the Inspectorate and the Supreme Court, and it is a good thing for Shi Wuyan.

However, for other agencies of the cabinet, it is not a good thing, because this almost means that the cabinet will completely lose its influence on the Inspectorate!

However, when the Inspectorate was jumping up and down, Liu Bagou, the actual chief assistant of the cabinet, thanked the guests behind closed doors, without the slightest objection, which made many people incomprehensible.

When you don't understand it, you naturally won't stand in line easily. Even in this reform, the personnel department and the finance department, which are expected to lose the most, are rarely silent.

They are all waiting~www.wuxiaspot.com~ waiting for the Son of Heaven's opinion on this book!

Is it a direct refutation or an approval?

Is it to stay in China and not send it, or transfer it to the imperial study for approval, or directly hold a relevant meeting for this matter?

Every different choice of the Son of Heaven represents a different direction, and even the same choice often represents different meanings.

As a courtier, the most important thing now is to judge the intention of eliminating the Holy Son of Heaven, and then follow the steps of the Holy Son of Heaven, Li Xuan!

If you get it wrong, you will be very unlucky!

Li Xuan also did not make the officials wait too long, and soon gave an instruction. The content of the Zhubi instruction was very brief, and it seemed to be just three words: "Got it"

Then hand over this book to the imperial study for circulation.

These three words seem to be ordinary, but they are unusual in this book.

If it is just an ordinary essay, such a comment basically means nothing. It just means that I already know about this matter, so what should I do? It is a normal comment. Li Xuan reviews so many essays every day. Five of the ten books have been criticized for these three words.

But on such an important account, such comments are enough to make people find many unusual meanings!

What does it mean?

That is, the Son of Heaven did not directly refute this book, nor did he instruct that he had read it, transfer it to the imperial study for processing, etc., but rather an ambiguous "understood" and let the minister on duty in the imperial study circulate it!

What does this represent?
