Chapter 1083
Yanying asked the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to discuss major military and political issues in Yanying Hall. Later, sometimes they changed places, but it was still called Yanying asked the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to ask the right to
Shao Shude originally planned to hold a question in Lichun Palace, but the name was so so he changed the place to Xianju Hall on the north side of Shangyang Palace.
Xianju Hall was completed last year, and it began to be renovated before and after the New Year, and has now been completed.
On this day, the Privy Councilor of the North and South yamen, the Deputy Privy Councilor, and the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries all arrived. The prime minister of the Zhengshi Hall is generally the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries. As long as any chief official is granted the status of "Pingzhangshi in the Secretariat of the Secretariat", he is the prime minister and can enter the Zhengshi Hall to work. If he does not, he is not the prime minister.
Shao Shude slowly walked into the Xianju Hall and looked at the officials of the three provinces and six ministries who were gathering together, and he felt that there were too many people.
In fact, after the Anshi Rebellion, the political system of the dynasty had undergone considerable changes. Military power was concentrated in the Privy Council, and the civilian power was also divided into a large part by the Hanlin Academy.
The Hanlin Academy was close to the emperor. From the time of Xuanzong, it began to accompany the emperor to study, play chess, draw, write poems, write articles and even draft edicts. Over time, all the contacts were all high-level secrets and gradually began to have high power.
During the Five Dynasties, the Northern Song Dynasty almost followed the system of the Middle and Late Tang. By the Ming Dynasty, the Hanlin scholars were even more amazing, almost as the prime minister's reserve.
Perhaps, every emperor needs a private secretariat.
The organization of the Political Affairs Hall can be said to be a cabinet or a Military Affairs Office, because its personnel are all part-time jobs. For example, Wang Duo, the commander of the army in the past, was the Minister of Rites, who was the prime minister of Tongpingzhang.
Nowadays, the four prime ministers, Zhu Pu is the Secretariat, Xiao Lu is the Secretariat, Pei Shu is the Secretariat of the Ministry of Revenue, and Pei Zhi is the Secretariat of the Ministry of Justice. All of them have their own duties. The Prime Minister (Tongping Zhangshi) is strictly part-time.
The National Government Affairs Hall usually has two to four people. Shao Shude felt that Yan Ying asked about the "enlarged meeting" of this de facto political affairs hall, which could be merged with the political affairs hall.
Three provinces may really be abolished into one province.
But this is a matter of the future, so now we should follow the old system.
"Can Du Du?" Shao Shude walked to Du Rangneng, the former Hexi Jiedushi who had just rushed back to Luoyang, and asked with concern.
Du Rang was already 61 years old after the New Year, and had a serious illness, and was not in good health. This time it was really difficult for him to get tired from the boat and ride.
"Hexi has been eliminated, so we can no longer call the prime minister." Du Rangneng joked: "Unless the Grand Tutor recommends to the Queen, I may still be able to enter the Political Affairs Hall."
"Haha." Shao Shude felt a little relieved. Old Du could still joke with him. No matter how physically he was, at least his mental state would be fine.
"Mr. Du is a famous family, and has knowledge of his academic performance. The court still needs to rely on it." Empress He quietly observed Shao Shude's expression and saw that he was very close to Du Rangneng, so he said.
"I'm sorry for the queen." He didn't know the queen's current status and tendencies, so he could only be cautious in his words and actions.
"Scholar Du." Shao Shude had the highest status except the queen, so he sat down at the queen's head and said, "Can you teach me everything about Hexi Road?"
Du Rangneng thought for a while and said, "In the first year of Tianyou, there were three prefectures and ten counties, with more than 102,900 households and more than 451,500 households, and more than 300,000 foreign troops including Tubo, Uighurs, Longjia, Sogdian, Wu, Dangxiang and other foreign troops. In Henan, it only has a household registration for a large county."
Speaking of this, Du Rangneng smiled bitterly.
"The prefectures and counties in Henan with a population of 800,000 are not found now." Shao Shude said: "And, Hexi cannot just look at the household registration. Delete Dan and Heishui two major ranches, so it is difficult to exchange for money."
The jurisdiction of Hexi Town is vast, equivalent to the five cities of Wuwei, Jinchang, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Jiayuguan in Gansu and the Alxa League in Inner Mongolia. It has an area of no less than 500,000 square kilometers, and perhaps more.
Besides, the population is also quite large, and in Shao Shude's opinion, it is even a little too high. Although it may be much worse than later generations, he does not want to cause too heavy environmental disasters. This will bring more rain and more people to support, but will there be less rain in the future?
"What if I stop the town of Guiyi Army?" Shao Shude asked again.
The Guiyi Army now governs the Sha, Gua and the four counties, roughly in the Dunhuang area of later generations, and the area is also very large. If included, then there will be five prefectures and fourteen counties on Hexi Road, which will have larger areas and larger populations.
"I heard that Zhang Huai was deeply ill. There is still some possibility that he is there. If he is not there, there may be changes." Du Rangneng said.
Old Du has been in the west for many years and has heard about the situation of his neighbors in the west. His suggestions should be taken seriously.
Shao Shude nodded, already a little clear in his heart.
He stood up and saluted the queen, saying, "Empress, I suggest sending envoys to Dunhuang as soon as possible."
The queen looked at Shao Shude and said happily: "But. I don't know who can go?"
"I think it's only possible to send important officials." Shao Shude said: "The Minister of the Honglu Li Hanggong is highly respected and has made great plans for secrets. He can go to Dunhuang with his integrity and persuade Shangshu Zhang to offer his land to the court."
"Accurate." The queen agreed without hesitation.
Everyone was speechless.
Yan Ying asked right, have you ever asked us for our opinions? Although we wouldn't object.
"The matter of establishing Taoism in Hexi cannot be delayed. I suggest that you choose a prime minister and an important minister as the governor." Shao Shude bowed and reported to him.
"Who is the best?" asked the queen.
Shao Shude glanced around the hall and his eyes fell on Zhu Pu.
Zhu Pu sighed inwardly, knowing that Shao Shude wanted to install his own people in the Political Affairs Hall, he would inevitably be unable to sit steadily as the prime minister. Instead of doing this, it would be better to take the initiative to leave the town and sell personal favors.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Empress, Grand Tutor. In the past, when Cen Jiazhou entered Muhexi, he wrote the famous saying "100,000 families in seven miles of Liangzhou, and the Hu people half-played the pipa". My heart yearned for it and was willing to be the governor of Hexi Road."
There are 100,000 families in seven miles of Liangzhou, and one is 100,000 families in seven cities of Liangzhou. There are Guzang and Shenniao County two counties affiliated to Guo, which is indeed seven cities.
There are "100,000 families" in the entire Liangzhou city, which may be the romantic words of the poet, but it also indirectly shows that Liangzhou had a large population and dense population at that time. Perhaps a large number of Hu people were not included in the household registration, so that the migrant population and the non-staff population were far more than the household registration population.
The queen turned her gaze to Shao Shude.
"Liangzhou must be the capital of Zhu Xiang." Shao Shude smiled and said, "I recommend Zhu Xiang as the governor of Hexi Road."
"Accurate." The queen agreed immediately.
Feng Yanqing couldn't stand it anymore, you two could at least pretend.
"The Empress, Taifu, the people in Hexi are complicated and they have to be suppressed by fierce generals." Lao Feng was afraid that others would see the problem.
Shao Shude pretended to think for a while and asked, "Who can be the commander-in-chief of Hexi?"
He also noticed that today's questioning almost became his one-man show, and the stupid woman, Empress He, looked passionate, made him a little embarrassed, so he deliberately sought opinions from others.
"Empress, Grand Tutor." Xiao Lu took the right place, and he heard him say: "Guo Qi, the commander of the left wing of the Tielin Army, is stubborn and has great courage. He can defend himself and be strong, and he must first take up the battle. He can hold this position and protect Hexi without any worries."
When Guo Qi was young, he fought with Tubo, and his intestines flowed out. He stuffed them back and continued to chop people. He was extremely brave. He was over fifty years old and was really not suitable to lead troops on the front line of the imperial guards. He asked him to be the commander-in-chief of the Hexi Prefecture Army. It was just right, and I believe he was very happy.
The queen turned her gaze to Shao Shude again, and Shao Shude glared at her quietly.
"Then...then let Guo Qing be the commander of Hexi Road." The queen said stumbled.
After talking about Hexi Road, Prime Minister Pei Zhi mentioned the establishment of the road in Longyou and Guanxi Road.
Longyou Road is under the jurisdiction of eleven states including He, Wei, Lan, Qin, etc. Recently, there have been another Qiang-class chieftains from the two states of Dang and Dang. If you operate well, you can have a place of thirteen states.
The Guannei Road is not big, but there are many prefectures and counties, including Jingzhao Prefecture, Gan, Yao, Tong, Hua, Jin, Fu, Fang, Yan, Dan, Bin, Ning, Qing, Jing, Yuan, Qi, Long, Feng, Xing, and Yang.
Shao Shude has a deep foundation in these two places and a good mass base, so it doesn’t matter how he arranges the candidates.
After Feng Yanqing and Xiao Lu helped to play "fight the ball" twice, he continued to start a one-man show.
The eldest son of the seventeen-year-old Shao Chengjie was appointed as the governor of the Guannei Dao and the left-behind capital of the Western Capital.
The former Longyou Jiedu governor Wei Zhaodu was transferred to the position of the governor of Longyou Dao.
He also appointed Li Bai, the former governor of Wusu Army, as the commander-in-chief of the inner road of the Guannei Road. The Wusu Army must have aborted the town. In just a few days, if Li Bai resisted, the position to compensate him would naturally be gone.
Ren Long was the commander-in-chief of Longyoudao.
Long was the former governor of Suzhou, deputy envoy of Hexi Jiedu, and chief of the Long family. He has a great influence in the local area, and tens of thousands of young people can still be strengthened. In recent years, he was relatively obedient. When Suzhou changed its territory and returned to the current, he did not resist. Moreover, the 5,000 Yumen Army sent to the Central Plains were also annexed. This unit was famous when he fought Zhu Quanzhong, not because of his combat effectiveness, but because of his red hair.
Li Bai and Long both appointments are of compensation.
Politics requires constant balance. Shao Shude doesn’t want to ruin his reputation. It’s not very good to burn bridges across the river.
"Since you have no objection, you can approve the report from the Grand Tutor." Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, the queen immediately ordered the drafting of the appointment and drafting the book.
She doesn't understand politics very much, but she understands men.
The Taifu spent a lot of effort to push things, and she had no reason to stop them, nor did she want to stop them.
Whoever man can protect her life and bring happiness to her will be listened to.
The queen of the fallen country, what else can I say? Just stand in the last shift, please win the favor of the Taifu, and let yourself and your three children continue to be rich and worry-free.
What kind of family and country are so righteous? I am a woman and I can’t control so much.
Feng Yanqing also felt a little moved.
First, we sorted out the imperial guards in the southern yamen and the foreign soldiers in the northern yamen, mobilized the army's management and expedition to regularize.
Then they divided the various paths and took back the military power of the governors in the world, and then separated the military and political affairs, and governors and the people were in charge of the commanders and commanders to manage the troops without interfering with each other.
Actually, no one has thought of these things. But thinking about them is one thing, and doing them is another.
The King of Xia did it, and it was really not easy for him to rely on his 20 years of military power.
