Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 965
The next day, the political affairs hall.

"Tuyuhun is on the verge of making a move recently. A lot of small groups of cavalry invaded the border. Several Zhuangzi suffered disaster, and they were all looted."

Cen Wenwen was worried.

Every year when winter comes, the barbarians must loot and plunder the border to rob money, food and material reserves to survive the winter.Before this time, the borders are tight everywhere. If a small group of cavalry invades the border, it is fine. Once a large group of cavalry breaks into the border and invades the hinterland, it will cause incalculable and heavy losses.

Fang Xuanling pinched his forehead, sighed and said, "Is there any official document from the British?"

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er appointed Li Jing as the general manager of the Xikaidao march, commanding the Minister of War, Hou Junji, the chief of the Jishi Road march, Ren Chengwang, the Minister of the Criminal Ministry, Li Daozong, the chief of the Shanshan Road march, Li Daozong, the governor of Liangzhou, and Li Li, the chief of the Qiemo Road march. Daliang, the governor of Minzhou, Li Daoyan, the marching chief of Chishui Road, Gao Zengsheng, the chief of the Yanze Road marching in Lizhou, and the Turks and Qibi He Li who returned to Tang Dynasty attacked Tuyuhun.On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month of the following year, Li Daozong defeated the Tuyuhun army in Kushan.

Fu Shun, the son of Fu Yun, the king of Tuyuhun, led the whole country to surrender to the Tang army. Fu Yun hanged himself and died, and Tuyuhun belonged to the Tang Dynasty.Fu Yun's son, Fu Shun, was named Khan and Prince of Xiping County, and Tuyuhun became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

In the 11th year of Zhenguan, Li Ji was changed to the British Duke, and the hereditary governor of Qizhou.At that time, the hereditary governors appointed by the imperial court were only in name, and they did not take office in prefectures and counties, so he took the official position of governor of Bingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office and led the prince Zuowei from a distance. In the identity of Shi, he handled local military and political affairs in Bingzhou for Jin Wang Li Zhi, who was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou.

Right now Li Ji is in Chang'an, but Bingzhou is deployed by him, and Tuyuhun has been under the supervision of the Governor's Office of Bingzhou, so everything in Tuyuhun should be in charge of Li Ji.

Cen Wenwen said: "The British prince is still collecting information, and wants to determine whether this is just a private act of some scattered tribes, or whether the royal family of Tuyuhun is also involved. That fellow Fushun was supposed to enter to pay homage to His Majesty after winter, but it has been delayed. Well, things are a little strange."

Several ministers were silent for a while.

I really don't know how those Tuyuhun people thought that they wanted to break away from the Tang Dynasty and stand on their own. Didn't they know that if it weren't for the support of the Tang Dynasty, they would have been swallowed by the Tubo behind them?

Barbarians are barbarians, and they always act unreasonably, which is a headache.

Footsteps were heard at the door, and Wang De, the chief servant, came in, saluted several ministers, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has invited several ministers to the Dragon Palace to discuss important matters."

His Majesty Li Er would sometimes come to the Political Affairs Hall to listen to the discussions of several ministers, but in the summer, he was sprayed by Wei Zheng, who had been sick for a long time.Wei Zhengyan said: "Since the political affairs hall is set up, it is necessary for the prime ministers to gather together for discussion, and to gather the best ideas from all the families so as to obtain the most appropriate ideological and political strategy. Your Majesty, sit here and insert a word, the prime minister. How can the assistants refute your words?"

I will listen to what His Majesty Li Er said, and I will not speak.

As a result, Wei Zhengyan said: "Since you don't express your opinion, what's the use of listening to it?"

His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to see Wei Zheng trembling and kicking his legs to die. He couldn't get angry, so he had to leave with his sleeves angrily, and never came to the Political Affairs Hall again...

Several big brothers looked at each other, got up together, and followed Wang De to the Dragon Palace.

When they arrived at the Dragon Hall, they saluted first, and then sat down in the main hall. Fang Xuanling asked, "I don't know what's important for Your Majesty?"

His Majesty Li Er was not in a hurry to talk about things. First, he asked the maid to serve hot tea and some exquisite pastries for the ministers to enjoy.

Several ministers ate a few pieces of cakes and drank tea.

His Majesty Li Er said: "I want to change some upper states into 'mansions' to strengthen the imperial court's control over all parts of the world. In addition, Jingzhao Mansion will be established in Yongzhou to govern Chang'an, Wannian, Lantian, and Xinfeng. , Weinan, and Huayin counties."

Prior to this, there was no such institution as a "fu" in the administrative division.

But now that the territory of the Tang Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, the central control of the place will inevitably be gradually weakened.According to His Majesty Li Er's conception, the "fu" system was established, and the "fu" was set up in the important place of the palace. In addition to Jingzhao Mansion, Henan Mansion (Dongdu, Luoyang), Fengxiang Mansion (Western Capital), and Taiyuan Mansion were set up in the world. (Northern Capital), Jiangling Mansion (Southern Capital), and Hezhong Mansion (Central Capital) are all directly under the jurisdiction of the central government, so as to strengthen the imperial central government's control over all parts of the world.

The newly established Jingzhao Mansion is not only the "Zhili" territory of the Tang Empire.

Several prime ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering why His Majesty proposed such a major plan so abruptly.

But since the emperor proposed it, as the prime minister, he must discuss its feasibility.

Fang Xuanling was the first to express his agreement: "In this way, the unity of central authority will be greatly strengthened. Except for the Jingzhao Mansion, the military and political power of the other five prefectures can be directly governed by the central authority to the greatest extent, instead of the previous power It is often due to the confusion of small things, which is less efficient. Veteran agrees."

Any change that can strengthen the centralization of power should be affirmed and supported. This is the principled position of the prime minister.

Changsun Wuji murmured for a while, and said: "The old minister agrees in principle, but the five prefectures will be separated from the states where they are located. Should we send additional officials, or should the officials of the previous states be concurrently appointed?"

It has to be said that any issue involving personnel is a big issue.

Adding additional officials will inevitably lead to a bloated bureaucracy and increase the financial burden of the court; if officials from various states in the past concurrently serve, will there be passive slowdown and ambiguity?

His Majesty Li Er was also scratching his head. He just planned to do this as soon as his brain got hot, so as to strengthen the centralization of power and enhance the imperial power, but he didn't think so much.

Cen Wenwen was silent and hadn't expressed his opinion yet.

He was pondering the intention of the emperor's move. Besides going out to strengthen the imperial power, would there be any digressions?

Fang Xuanling glanced at His Majesty Li Er, and saw that his expression was a little embarrassed. After all, it took several days to come up with such a system. It seemed to be full of loopholes from the very beginning, and it was inevitable that it would be a bit embarrassing.

After thinking for a while, Fang Xuanling said, "According to the old minister, why not adopt the regulations of the Shibo Department?"

His Majesty Li Er was slightly stunned: "Shi Ship Secretary?"

What does this have to do with the Shibo Division?
Cen Wenwen slapped his thigh and praised: "This method is good!"

"I'm confused, Xuanling, tell me what's going on, I don't quite understand."

The greatest advantage of His Majesty Li Er is that he is not ashamed to ask, and he will never pretend to be confused about things that he does not understand. The few people in front of him are the most outstanding figures in the empire, so it is not shameful to ask them.

Fang Xuanling said, "Let Jing Ren talk about it."

"Jingren" is the character of Cen Wenwen.

The Shibo Department was created by Fang Jun, and Fang Xuanling's affirmation of the Shibo Department's charter here is unavoidable for people to be suspected of "boasting".

His Majesty Li Er said helplessly: "What's there to be modest about? That kid Fang Jun did a good job. When we make mistakes, we have to beat them hard, but we, as elders, have to affirm the results. Alright, Cen Wenwen, tell me."

Cen Wenwen laughed and said: "Why should Fang avoid suspicion? It is a matter of face for a child to be promising. Nowadays, people in Guanzhong always say the phrase 'children should be like Fang's last love'. This is not a joke, no Do you know how many people envy you?"

He said it unintentionally, but Changsun Wuji beside him turned pale...

Mother, you all have good sons, but my son went astray and ruined his reputation, right?
After Cen Wenwen finished speaking, he also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and was a little embarrassed. He coughed dryly and said: "The Shibo Department is a new system and a new government office. It has never existed in ancient times, and there is no experience for reference. Therefore, Huating Hou was presenting it to In the document of Zhengshitang, a point of view of "trial implementation" is proposed, that is, to choose a place for trial operation, to find deficiencies and accumulate experience in the process of operation. This method can perfectly avoid the unpredictability brought about by blindly operating the city shipping department all over the world. Therefore, I think that the idea of ​​changing the state capital proposed by His Majesty can also be operated in this way. Choose one of the several places mentioned by Your Majesty to 'try it out', even if it turns out that the effect is not as expected Generally speaking, problems only occur within a controllable range, so that the whole country will not panic and have far-reaching consequences."
