Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Dingding Section 126 Faction


With the establishment of the two major bureaucratic institutions of the Imperial Council and the Imperial Privy Council, the most challenging problems of Wufeng have gradually been exposed, and the issue of government and bureaucracy has become the most complicated and troublesome thing to consider as an emperor question. Wufeng thinks that the current political situation of the empire can still be completely under his control, whether it is government affairs or military affairs, the initiative is still firmly in his hands, but this does not mean that there are no problems.

Wu Feng has read many books about the use of power and system checks and balances by emperors, but he found that in order to control such a huge empire smoothly, he only needs to rely on books and previous experience or a purely imported system It is simply not feasible. Perhaps it is most appropriate to combine the above several reasonable cores, combined with the actual situation of the empire, to embark on a path that belongs to the empire itself.

The separation of the military and the government is only the most basic framework, and the relative independence of the supervisory power and the judicial power does not allow the judicial power to compete with the huge administrative power, and all of this is due to the supreme imperial power. This is a rather complex system engineering. How to make this complex system work effectively and drive the entire empire forward without getting out of control requires summarizing experience step by step in practice and gradually improving it.

Compared to external threats, Wufeng believes that the signs of internal problems are what he needs to pay attention to the most. Official governance has always been the key to the rise and fall of a regime. Making full use of their talents while effectively preventing all kinds of ills that may arise is one of the hot spots that the emperor needs to pay attention to.

The security department successfully completed an important task that I entrusted to them before the establishment of the empire, which is to monitor the increasingly large bureaucratic system. Wufeng is also aware of the problems that exist in every dynasty and every generation It will also exist in this new empire of my own. It is unrealistic to completely eradicate these problems and ills at once. How to minimize the negative impact of these ills and make it a normalized virtuous circle is enough to prove that the entire regime is successful.

In fact, factional struggles have existed since the very beginning of the establishment of Xijiang, and have developed from pure competition in ability to inconsistent views on political opinions and strategies. Various factors are intertwined, ranging from closeness to closeness, which makes the various influences of the expanding control area in western Xinjiang also appear. With the increase of the control territory, it represents different regions, different classes, and different interests. Various forces have also begun to enter the bureaucratic institutions that hold administrative, military, and judicial powers. Although they have chosen to obey the highest interest structure headed by themselves, it is reflected in specific aspects that all parties need to express. The desires and demands are different, and some are even very different and contradictory.

This aspect of the military has been relatively muted, but competition and challenges have always existed. The military led by Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu gradually formed the two largest factions. The generals all supported Liang Chongxin more, while the nomadic cavalry were closer to Cui Wenxiu without any suspense. The establishment of the naval system has also brought new problems. The naval system headed by Lei Cangpu has not been able to truly integrate the entire naval power. The long wind system of the country is a force that faintly contends with each other, and when they unite, they become an important force independent of the army.

This kind of factional dispute in the army is actually not a big deal in the eyes of Wufeng, and there will naturally be disputes about the use of strategies and tactics. Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu's loyalty to him and the good personal relationship between the two, as well as his absolute detached position in the army ensured that the imperial army would not have any voices against his intentions.

In contrast, factional struggles in government affairs are much more complicated, involving the interests of too many forces and classes. Officials have different political opinions and background systems, which may cause these problems to exist reason. Fortunately, the two of Xiao Su can still keep a clear mind on this point. Although the officials at the two levels of the county government below have more or less shown signs of this, they are still at the level of the Government Affairs Council. Wufeng is very pleased to maintain a considerable unity.

After the Bai Yuanzhong incident and the Wuzhi incident, many officials also saw Wufeng's taboo in this regard. No one dares to knock on wooden bricks lightly anymore, and Wufeng has also beat officials at all levels lightly or heavily, overtly or covertly, on many occasions. If he wants to take on more important responsibilities, he must show his talents and be content with Loyal to diligent in own job. These three men are the only way to get promoted. If he wants to take other crooked ways, the only thing waiting for him is the cage of the Imperial Supervisory Council.

The issue of the status of the Situ family and the original great nobles of the Tanghe Empire has always been the focus of negotiations between the Imperial Council and Situ Yutang and the great nobles in the imperial capital. Although the two sides have reached consensus on many issues, the nobles On the preservation of the title, both sides hold their own opinions.

The Imperial Government Affairs Council insisted that the Tang Empire would not recognize the aristocratic status of the Tanghe Empire. They could only enjoy the same treatment as ordinary residents of the imperial capital, but their original property could be preserved. The empire will protect the legal rights and interests of their private property, and all criminal and civil lawsuits against them after the establishment of the new empire will be handled in accordance with the laws of the original Tanghe Empire, and will take place from the date of the establishment of the Imperial Supervisory Council and Trial Court (Grand Court) All criminal and civil affairs must be handled in accordance with the new laws of the Tang Empire.

This satisfies the requirements of the nobles and gentry of the original Tanghe Empire to a certain extent. After all, with the change of dynasty, many low-class people who used to be their tenants, slaves, workers, etc. may have achieved more by joining Xijiang. High status, calls for counterattack and recalculation of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases are also increasing day by day, especially some civil cases involving illegal occupation, illegal mergers, forced buying and selling, and criminal cases involving human life have become the focus. With the establishment of the Imperial Supervisory Council and the Imperial Trial Court (Grand Court), several Circuit Supervisory Councils and Circuit Courts, as well as provincial-level trial courts (courts), have begun to be established. Attorney General Mo Lun's full push.

Moron highly affirmed the establishment of the Imperial Supervisory Council and the Imperial Trial Court (Grand Court), and suggested that the Supervisory Council and the Trial Council (Grand Court) be given more independent and broader powers, and even suggested that the Imperial Supervisory Council and the Imperial Court The Court of Trial (Grand Court) can independently conduct supervision and trial without any other power restrictions, but this proposal was strongly opposed by the Imperial Council and the entire empire, and had to be abandoned without the support of anyone.

Although the property rights of the nobles of the Tanghe Empire have been guaranteed, the Imperial Government Council is also firmly opposed to giving any political special treatment to the nobles of the Tanghe Empire, and will not recognize the original status of the nobles of the Tanghe Empire. So far, in the entire new empire, except for the former Grand Duke Mutu of the Principality of Bali, the former Grand Duke Alan of the Terok Principality, the chiefs of the nomadic tribes and the original heads of the Western Regions, the aristocratic status of everyone can be retained. The aristocratic status must be re-approved by the emperor, and the requirements and conditions for this approval will be quite harsh according to the etiquette department of the Imperial Council. Except for those who have made great contributions to the Great Tang Empire, other The original nobles of the Tanghe Empire were almost directly excluded from this scope, including the Situ family, unless they made contributions to the new empire through other channels.

On this point, the dispute between the two sides was quite fierce. The representatives of the nobles and gentry of the Tanghe Empire even threatened to boycott the formation of the new empire, although they also knew that their boycott would not stop the formation of the new empire and Li Wufeng's ascension to the throne , but they also know that Li Wufeng is absolutely unwilling to see such a discordant atmosphere in the imperial capital at this time~IndoMTL.com~Situ Yutang seems quite embarrassed to be caught in the middle. The Ministry of Etiquette of the Empire has clarified her status as imperial concubine, which is second only to the empress's honorable status. In the original Xijiang system, there are rising voices against the Situ family and some important officials believe that members of the Situ family should not be in the Wufeng harem. It is not easy to obtain such an honor under the opinion of obtaining too high a status, especially Situ Yutang's performance in Xijiang in the early stage made many veterans who have been following Wufeng quite dissatisfied.

The Situ family and the great nobles of the Tanghe Empire also put a lot of pressure on Situ Yutang. In their opinion, since Situ Yutang can obtain such a noble status, it also means that Li Wufeng has accepted the Situ family. Sincerity with the nobles of the Tanghe Empire, Li Wufeng, who is also from the noble family of the Tanghe Empire, should also give some special treatment to the nobles of the Tanghe Empire, and not confuse them with ordinary civilians.

The sharp confrontation puts Situ Yutang in a dilemma. She knows that this issue is not something she can decide. Since Wufeng has established this principle, it may be impossible to overthrow it. The nobles and gentry of the River Empire suddenly became the same as the ordinary people in the city. This huge contrast was unacceptable to these people. How to make the two sides make a certain compromise made Situ Yutang very anxious. Jiangshan Beauty Chronicle, Chapter 2, Swallow Thousands of Miles, Chapter 7, Dingding, Section 126, factions
