Chang'an, the internal security reform plan has been released.
The first was disarmament. The 40,000 internal guards were reduced by 30,000 to 10,000.
The inner guard is divided into one hall, nine departments and fifty battalions. The hall is Xuanwu Hall, which is modeled after the White Tiger Hall of the imperial court. It is the front end of the inner guard and is responsible for filing, dividing and closing cases.
The internal security acceptance office has been cancelled, and internal security no longer accepts individual complaints. If an individual has any problem, he or she can go directly to the county government or other government agencies to report the case, and then the county government or other government agencies will decide whether to transfer the case to the internal security.
After receiving the report from other government agencies, the Internal Security Bureau Xuanwu Tang will start an review. If it does not meet the internal security responsibilities, the report will be dismissed and the case will not be filed.
If the review meets the responsibilities of internal security, the case will be formally filed and then assigned to one of the nine functional departments. For example, the case of casting counterfeit money will be assigned to the Treasury Department. The Treasury Department will start investigating the case. If troops are needed, an application will be submitted to the Metropolitan Controller.
An army was dispatched from fifty battalions under the control of the capital.
The separation of functions and the military is also one of the essences of the internal security reform.
The separation of the three powers of filing, functions and the military results in the power of the internal guards being caged.
The result of locking power in a cage is not important. What is important is who holds the key to this cage. Of course, it is not the court, but the emperor.
The inner guard has always been a sword for the emperor. The blade was too sharp and the subordinates had too many opinions, so the emperor made a new scabbard and inserted the sharp edge of the inner guard into the scabbard.
When necessary, the emperor draws his sword and shows his sharp edge.
At present, Li Chenghua is still in charge of the Imperial Guard, and Liu Wutong is still the deputy capital commander, acting on behalf of the capital commander.
After the implementation of the internal guard reform, the effect was immediate. Officials drank wine and no internal guards caught them. When disputes arose over competition in shops, no internal guards intervened.
The inner guards seemed to have disappeared in Chang'an, at least the people could not feel it.
But in fact, the internal guards are still there. If the various government offices cannot solve major cases, the internal guards will definitely appear.
At night, the study room in the Daming Palace is brightly lit.
Li Ye paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his hands. On his desk was an eagle letter from Li Chenghua from Broken Leaf. He had received five eagle letters from Li Chenghua in a row, but this was the only one.
The letter made him feel overwhelmed.
Jin Shanling actually gave birth to a son, the second year after Jin Shanling went to Samarkand.
Li Chenghua said that he was his son, so of course Li Ye believed Li Chenghua. There was no paternity test in the Tang Dynasty, so Li Chenghua naturally had undeniable evidence.
By calculation, the child must be fifteen years old. Eagle's letter said that he grew up with the girls of the Tang Dynasty and must be a boy like Jia Baoyu.
Li Ye gave a long sigh, picked up the eagle letter on the table, and went out.
Queen Dugu Xinyue has a big belly and is sipping a cup of milk tea. During this time, she likes sweets, especially milk tea. In the past, she was just average and dispensable.
Now she is as fond of milk tea as Yang Yuhuan.
At this time, the door knocker rang, and a palace maid said: "The Holy One has arrived!"
Li Ye then opened the door curtain and came in. Dugu Xinyue put the tea cup aside, pursed her lips and smiled: "Why are you here, Your Majesty?"
Li Ye sat down next to his wife, held her hand and smiled: "Auntie said you are more likely to be a boy, what do you think?"
Dugu Xinyue shook her head and said with a smile: "I feel like it's a girl. Auntie is not right this time!"
"Is there any basis for this?"
"Of course I do. When I was born with Xingsha, I especially liked sweets. Later, when I was born with Tan'er, I started to like meat again. This time I am fond of sweets. I must be a little girl."
"I like it too, little lady!"
Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "There is a big issue now, and I want to hear your thoughts."
"What happened?"
"Do you still remember what I told you about Jinshanling?"
Dugu Xinyue nodded and said with a smile: "Could it be that Jinshan Ling wants to come to Chang'an again and become a concubine?"
"That's not true, but she actually gave birth to a son for me. I didn't know about it for so many years."
The smile on Dugu Xinyue's face disappeared. The prince and concubine were obviously completely different in nature.
She said after a while: "Husband, are you sure that child is yours?"
"Chenghua confirmed it, she said it was mine?"
Dugu Xinyue was also extremely convinced of Li Chenghua. She nodded, "Since Chenghua said he is yours, it shouldn't be wrong. What are your husband's plans to take him back to Chang'an?"
"I don't know. I'm very confused right now. This happened so suddenly. I was not mentally prepared at all. I actually had an illegitimate child. That's why I want to listen to your advice?"
Dugu Xinyue thought for a moment and said, "Husband, you can think about your situation back then!"
Li Ye was shocked. He actually forgot that he was an illegitimate child. Li Ye nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you, madam, for reminding me!"
Dugu Xinyue said softly: "Jin Shanling hasn't said anything for so many years, which means that she doesn't want to give her son to you at all. It should be that she is in danger now and can't protect herself, so she made the decision to entrust her to the orphan. I think my husband
No matter what you think about Jin Shanling, whether you hate or miss him, these are not important. What is important is this child. He is the blood of your husband. You should recognize him and bring him to Chang'an. As for how to arrange him in the future,
That's another story."
Li Ye sighed, "How can I ask for a wife like this? I am lucky to have such a kind and tolerant queen."
Li Ye immediately made up his mind to take Jin Shanling's son back to Chang'an first.
Li Ye thought for a while and then smiled and said: "Li Chenghua also brought back 3,500 Tang Dynasty girls from Samarkand."
"ah!"
Dugu Xinyue was startled, "Three thousand five hundred people?"
At present, the queen is basically responsible for the placement of girls who have returned from overseas. This is something she has taken the initiative to take over. Everything is going smoothly now because the number of girls is not large. For example, the first batch of discovered girls numbered fifty-five. Now all
When she was a little maid in the palace, Dugu Xinyue had several of them around her.
But the problem is that she is now eight months pregnant and will probably give birth next month. How can she still have the energy to take care of the affairs of overseas girls?
Li Ye knew his wife's difficulties, so he smiled and said, "I will ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to arrange for them, so don't think about it."
Dugu Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "How will your husband plan to arrange the household affairs?"
"Look at your age. If you are younger than 16 years old, you can go to school first. If you are older than 16 years old, you can work in a spinning workshop to earn money to support yourself. If there is a suitable opportunity, arrange a blind date for them with soldiers from Chang'an.
They find a good home."
Dugu Xinyue nodded, "This is a good idea, the key is to reach Chang'an safely."
Li Ye smiled and said: "There will be a special army to escort them back, and there will also be officials to receive them along the way."
"Then I'll feel relieved."
Li Ye returned to the study and immediately wrote an eagle letter and sent it to Sui Ye early tomorrow morning.
In Sui Ye, Bai Xiaode assembled an army of 60,000. After full discussion with the generals, Bai Xiaode made a deployment. The Tang army was divided into three lines, the southern line, the northern line and the middle line. The northern line was led by Huben Zhonglang General Yang Riyou, who led a group of troops.
The army of ten thousand recaptured four military cities including Ashbulai City, Julan City, Talas City and Baishui City. Then the army went south and met with the main force in Tuozhi City in Shiguo.
The center line was personally led by Bai Xiaode, who led an army of 40,000 to capture the Bakhanna Kingdom and the Shi Kingdom. This was the top priority of the Western Expedition. Bai Xiaode judged that the army to attack Suiye was located in these two places.
Li Fei Yuanli was in charge of the southern front and led an army of 10,000 to attack Juzhanti. If Juzhanti was guarded by a heavy enemy force, he would wait for the main force to gather before attacking.
After arranging the three armies, the three armies set off in great strength early the next morning.
Suiye is still a logistics base, and there is no room for failure. Guo Xin is still stationed with 7,000 troops.
