My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 446 Wu Xun Makes Trouble
Chuigong Palace, Political Affairs Hall.

Li Gang, Wu Min, Guo Zhishun, and Huang Qishan are the four cabinet ministers, and Zong Zeyuan is in Hedong.

There were also Zhang Jun and Ma Kuo, Wang Lin's trustworthy backup ministers, gathered in the main hall. Although it was late at night, they still looked excited and were discussing state affairs with great interest.

At this moment, it is May [-]th of the first year of Dayan's revival.

A new era kicked off.

As the core team of the entire new dynasty in charge of government affairs, the responsibilities of the Zhengshitang were entrusted to an unprecedented height by Wang Lin.

The power is so great that it shines through the past and the present.

The emperor directly controls the military power.

Except for military power, all other administrative and economic state affairs are handed over to the Zhengshitang as an agent, and the emperor will not intervene in a leisurely manner.

The day-to-day government affairs and the government affairs that maintain the country's operations will all come from the Zhengshitang.

The appointment and removal of officials, including the imperial court and local officials below the third rank, are also all under the leadership of the Zhengshitang.

The emperor just reserved the authority to intervene at any time.

The appointment and dismissal of officials of the third grade and above shall be proposed by the Zhengshitang, and the emperor shall decide.

What kind of heart and courage is given to the Zhengshitang with such great power!

And what trust!
As a traveler, Wang Lin knows how much time and energy it takes to deal with the government affairs of a huge country.

Most of the so-called diligent emperors in ancient history were exhausted to death, intervening in every detail, so it's no wonder they were not exhausted.

Wang Lin will never be entangled by these daily trivial matters, he still wants to enjoy life and will not get lost in power.

The state affairs are left to Li Gang, a few high-level core small teams, to lead the huge team of civil and military officials of the imperial court, and it is enough to rely on the regulations of the imperial court to maintain the operation.

Dayan, a huge state machine, cannot be driven by any one person alone.

As for him, as long as he firmly grasps the military power, the imperial power will be safe.

Wang Lin knew very well that since ancient times, the group of civil servants may have monopolized power or fought for power, which is the so-called party struggle, but it is rare to hear of civil servants usurping power.

Moreover, the political character of people like Li Gang has passed the test of time, and Wang Lin naturally gave them unprecedented trust.

Don't use people with suspicion, don't use people who are suspicious.

Of course, the court's philosophy of emphasizing civility over military affairs must be gradually reversed.

But being endowed with power and the most extensive power is not what the courtiers like Li Gang and Wu Min are most excited about. What makes the courtiers most excited is Wang Lin's unconventional solo behavior.

Although his alternative maverick does not conform to the regulations and etiquette of this era.

But it is beneficial to the government, to the country, and to the common people of the community.

For example, Wang Lin resolutely abolished the harem draft system and reduced the number of people in the harem, which can greatly reduce the royal family and harem's extravagant expenses.

It is clear at a glance how much money is spent on a palace with only a few hundred people, and a palace with tens of thousands of people.

Moreover, the new dynasty has no clan, and the court has less burden.

Another example is Wang Lin, at the end of the enthronement ceremony yesterday, when he feasted on the ministers, he proposed that in the future, a system of high salaries and honesty should be established for civil servants.

His original words were to treat courtiers kindly, but strictly control corruption.The Great Yan Dynasty wanted the courtiers to live decently and enjoy a good life.

According to different ranks, courtiers will receive different amounts of income from the court in addition to their salaries.

He even promised that in the future, when the gold is destroyed and the territory is opened up to restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, all the unclaimed land obtained from the battle will be designated as Yangliantian.

The property rights of Yanglian land belonged to the imperial household department, but the courtiers had the right to cultivate and use it for life, and the income was not taxed.

If dismissed, Yang Liantian will be taken back.

At the banquet, Wang Lin showed the ministers a huge map of the world.

It also painted an incomparably magnificent frontier prospect for everyone.

The idea of ​​raising Liantian shocked the ruling and opposition parties.

Almost all the courtiers are discussing how much land they can get in the future according to their rank.

This was based on the fact that the courtiers had high hopes for Wang Lin to open up territories, no one doubted that Wang Lin was drawing big cakes.

Therefore, the release of a plan to raise Liantian aroused the great interest and enthusiasm of the courtiers and Chinese officials in Dayan's military expansion.

As we all know, Wu Xun is keen on using soldiers, and he wants to confer titles with military merits and obtain enfeoffed land and food towns.

But civil servants have never received any substantial benefits.

It's different with Yang Liantian, and civil servants can get a share of the pie.

Li Gang said slowly: "Everyone, the emperor's thinking about raising Liantian still needs to be considered from the long-term. Guo Xiang, you are in charge of the household department and the world's economy, and you have to come up with a careful planning charter."

Guo Zhishun nodded: "I obey."

Wu Min suddenly said again: "Everyone, it has been deeply ingrained in the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years to emphasize civility over military affairs. A certain emperor seems to want to support martial arts to suppress civil servants. What do you think?"

Guo Zhishun sighed: "Emphasis on culture and despise martial arts has led to the weakening of the Song Dynasty. At present, I, Yan, is a horse herder and strong soldiers are preparing for war. The emperor is determined. In the future, the eighteen prefectures of Yanyun must be restored. How can we do it without strong soldiers? So the use of force has already been done. Unstoppable."

Zhang Jun and Ma Kuo exchanged a look, they listened more and talked less.

After all, in terms of political experience, the two of them are far behind Li Gang, Wu Min, and Guo Zhishun.

Wu Min took over the words: "Warriors are in charge of the country, and they resort to military force, which is not good for the country. At present, it is still necessary for warriors to work hard to fight for the country, but in the future, it is still necessary to persuade the emperor, and civil servants to rule the country is the kingly way."

Li Gang smiled: "You don't need to worry too much for the time being. The current Wu Xun is just a legacy of the Song Dynasty. The real Wu Xun is the emperor's favorite generals in the army. They will be the real Great Yan Wu Xun in the future."

Li Gang took out a large list of the generals in Wang Lin's army, "This is the edict for the distribution of the generals that the emperor repeatedly ordered. Do you have any comments?"

Everyone shook their heads in silence.

This was the result of their negotiation and the emperor's approval.

In order to ensure the stability of Dayan's army, Li Gang and Wu Min suggested that most of the generals in the army maintain the status quo, and the official positions will not be granted temporarily, but honors and titles will be the main ones.

This was also what Wu Min was most worried about.

This means that in the future Dayan Dynasty, there will be a large number of martial arts, the number is quite terrifying.

In the future, if the territory is opened up, the emperor will definitely reward the generals. In a few years, I am afraid that Dayan will be like the scene of kings and princes with different surnames who have military exploits springing up like mushrooms in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The subordinates of the center brought hot tea and snacks to several courtiers, and the sound of cocks crowing and dogs barking could be heard outside the window.

Only then did Li Gang turn his head and look outside the hall, seeing that it was already dawn, he couldn't help but tiredly said: "Everyone, you have stayed up all night, old man, let's go back to the pavilion for a short rest, and then go to the palace to pay homage to the emperor, how about?"

Everyone said yes.

……

palace.

vestibule, side room.

Wu Song rubbed his brows wearily, got up and said: "Xiaoyi, it's already daylight, so I'm going to stare for a while, and then get up to see the emperor."

Yan Qing leaned over the desk without raising her head, waved her hand and said, "Second Brother Wu, please go ahead."

According to Wang Lin's opinion, the Imperial City Department under Wu Song's overall reform was established to form the Beijing Army and Horse Department, which was responsible for patrolling and arresting thieves in the capital, clearing streets, ditches, prisoners, and fire bans.

It is equivalent to the combination of the Public Security Bureau and the Urban Management Bureau of the imperial capital.

The Tiger God Guard was reformed into the Imperial Army Duwei's Mansion directly under the Emperor, and was renamed Jin Yiwei.

As the military organization of the emperor's bodyguards, Jinyiwei's main function is to "directly control the bodyguards, patrol and arrest", in charge of prisons, grant the power of inspection and arrest, and set up two towns and governors in the north and south.

The commander of Jin Yiwei is directly responsible to the emperor.Jin Yiwei can arrest anyone, including royal family members, and conduct closed interrogations.

In other words, the safety of the imperial palace and the emperor was transferred from the Imperial City Division to the Jinyiwei who was in charge of Yanqing.

It can be foreseen that within a period of time, the Jinyiwei, which was rebuilt from the huge and scattered Tiger Guards all over the world, will serve as the emperor's pro-army and one of Wang Lin's important tools for commanding the world and maintaining imperial control.

As important as the military.

The Beijing Bingmasihui set up dispatched agencies in the streets and squares of the capital, and Jinyiwei did the same.

In the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei was a third-rank institution, and Wang Lin was directly promoted to a special yamen of Zhengyipin, which was listed separately from the yamen of all ministries of the imperial court, in order to demonstrate the authority of Jinyiwei.

As for the military and horse department in the capital, it is a third-rank institution, which complements the Kaifeng government office.

After two years of hard work, the branch of Jinyiwei has basically been laid. What Yan Qing needs now is to further standardize and sort out, and then carefully arrange the manpower to ensure the absolute loyalty of this special military organization to the emperor.

The bell of the dawn was heard in her ears, Yan Qing got up and stretched, pushed the door and walked out, and punched in the courtyard.

As the emperor's absolute confidant, he was responsible for the safety of the emperor and his family members in the harem, so he naturally set up his Jinyiwei Commander Yamen near the palace, and he himself directly lived in the palace.

Suddenly there were noisy voices and footsteps outside the palace, Yan Qing's complexion changed, and she hurriedly put on her clothes and ran out.

The news came from the Tiger God Guard who was on duty. It turned out that a large group of ex-Zhao Song Wuxun had gathered outside the palace.

Yan Qing was dressed in purple Jinyiwei's embroidered uniform, with a wingless crown on her head and a sword on her waist. She stood majestically on the steps in front of the main entrance of the palace, with a group of murderous Jinyiwei in front of her and behind her.

The dawn gradually broke through, and a group of martial arts gathered at the archway in front of the palace.

King Yan looked around at the crowd, and he recognized that the leader was General Yunhui Cao Kun, head of the Cao family of Zhao Song Wuxun family.

In addition, there are representatives of dozens of Wu Xun families such as the Zhe family, the Yang family, and the Gao family.

They are all a group of Wu San Honored Officers of the fourth, fifth or lower ranks of the Song Dynasty.

Martial honors and titles in the Song Dynasty cannot be hereditary, but they can be sealed.

That is to say, relying on the glory of their ancestors, the children of the Wu Xun family can be appointed as officials. Most of them are military officials without real positions.

The emperor of the Great Counselor Dynasty ruled the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, emphasizing literature over military affairs, so Wu Xun's life was not easy.

Therefore, the Wu Xun family strongly supported Wang Lin's change of dynasty. The main reason was that Wang Lin was obviously a king who valued martial arts and military equipment.

The Wu Xun family hopes that the new dynasty can change Wu Xun's fate.

And Wang Lin was indeed doing things to improve the status of Wu Xun before, such as promoting the marriage between the noble family and the Wu Xun family.

The younger brother of the imperial concubine Li Qingzhao, Li Hui, also married the daughter of the Wu Xun family under the emperor's behest.

These are strong political signals.

However, after the enthronement ceremony, the court spread the idea that the new emperor would implement civil servants to support Liantian.

This directly made the Wu Xun family full of expectations unable to sit still.

Hearing dozens of people below Cao Kun clamoring to see the emperor, Yan Qing looked indifferent and said calmly: "Cao Yunhui, if you make noise outside the palace, if you disturb the emperor, it will be a death penalty!"

Cao Kun cupped his hands and said: "Master Yan, I just want to see the emperor with everyone, and ask the emperor if the promise made that day can still be fulfilled?"
