Great Tang princess

Chapter 706 The Provincial System Gradually Improves

Wu Yizong, who was strangled by the neck, only felt that his breathing became more and more difficult, and his limbs began to become weak.

At this moment, he clearly felt the approach of death, and a strong sense of fear instantly swept through his body.

Even the lower body couldn't help it, a stream of liquid gradually smeared along the crotch.

Seeing that it was almost done, Li Yuechen came over and raised his hand to pat Li Longji's shoulder.

"Okay, let go, I'll be really strangled in a while."

"Why keep such people?"

Having said that, Li Longji loosened his belt obediently.

"Cough cough cough..."

Feeling alive, Wu Yizong collapsed on the ground, coughing and breathing heavily.

Li Yuechen shook his head not far from him: "To be honest, even if I kill you here today, do you think the saint can still order me to pay for your life?" .”

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking, waved to Li Longji, and entered the Jixian Temple.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Wu Zetian drinking morning tea first.

Li Longji on the side quickly saluted.

Wu Zetian raised his hand, said nonchalantly, and then couldn't help smiling: "This kid is much better than Shiro."

What happened just now happened outside Jixian Temple, and she could see the whole process.

Li Yuechen smiled at the side: "Anyway, I stayed in the army since I was a child, so it's naturally different from my brother."

But he secretly said in his heart, no matter how you say it is the Tang Minghuang in history, who can become the emperor, which one is a simple role?
Then I added another sentence, that is, there is something psychologically wrong!
……

Wu Zetian did not continue to ask about Wu Yizong's affairs, nor did he continue to appear in front of the emperor.

Two days later, he reported that he was not in good health and asked to be appointed as an official. The emperor agreed with a swipe of his pen.

Give him some money and let him go back to his hometown in Shanxi.

This matter ended so simply, so simple that it didn't even cause any waves in the court.

However, this incident really caught Li Yuechen's heart.

Although it can be regarded as Guotai Minan today, it has not yet entered the information society.

In such an era environment, gangs of evil forces are particularly prone to appear.

So in the next time, I discussed with my mother again, and planned to make Dali Temple pay more attention to this aspect in the future.

Li Yuechen also knew that it was absolutely impossible for the darkness to be completely wiped out.

But it must not let it expand endlessly, that would be quite dangerous!
With the reform of the police and the Jinwu Guard, the authority and tasks of Dali Temple today are much larger than before.

There is no problem in entrusting them with issues of public safety like this.

The cabinet also expressed no objection to this proposal. After all, a stable country is good for everyone.

In addition, I have been so busy with the provincial system recently that I don't have time to pay attention to these.

Many cabinet ministers put forward seemingly good proposals to change to a provincial system, but most of them were rejected by the emperor.

For example, a minister suggested that since the governor and governor are the first and second in command of a province, they should have the right to command the army.

But now that the army has made it clear that it will gradually be controlled by the royal family, how can it be possible to agree to this request?

So Wu Zetian clearly stated in the reply to the approval document that the military and the government should be separated, so that they can only worry about administrative issues, and don't think about military affairs.

At the same time, Li Yuechen also proposed that the future Zhechong Mansion would also be under the jurisdiction of the army, not the local administration.

In her vision, the Zhechong Mansion would be made into an institution similar to the future Ministry of Armed Forces, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.

In addition, after the division of provinces is completed, the next-level system will be implemented.

In fact, in this era, there are really not many human gathering places that can be called "cities".

Apart from the two international metropolises of Chang'an and Luoyang, only Taiyuan and Yangzhou can be called cities.

Other places, at most, are county towns, or even villages and towns.

So for now, there is no need to set up too many cities, just follow the existing pattern.

Most places are still dominated by counties, which are directly under the jurisdiction of the province.

When it develops in the future and the population and economy catch up, then consider upgrading to a city.

In addition, some ministers in the cabinet disagreed with Li Yuechen's setting the position of the city's top leader as the magistrate.

Because the top leader at the provincial level is already called the governor, Futong Prefecture, the city leader should not be called this.

In short, it means that one of the two must be changed.

In the eyes of the ancients, these homophones and the like should be taboo.

Li Yuechen also didn't want to completely change customs, respecting tradition was not a bad thing, and she was willing to listen to them on such small matters.

So at Zhang Jianzhi's suggestion, the title of the city's top official was named Cheese, ah no, Zhishi!
Li Yuechen doesn't care much about this, it doesn't really matter what it's called, the important thing is to figure out the scope of functions.

In addition, the court should be separated from Dali Temple and set up separately.

The significance of the existence of the court, besides providing common people with a place to litigate, the most important thing is to convict and judge.

From now on, Dali Temple will only be responsible for the detection of cases and the arrest of criminals, and the power of conviction will be handed over to the court.

In addition, the Overwatch Council was established separately, and its specific functions... were the same as in the future.

In this way, it is tantamount to dividing part of the power of Dali Temple.

Although the current Minister of Dali Temple is not qualified enough to argue with Li Yuechen directly, he is one of the factions of Zhang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, so he himself came to the line.

……

In the main hall of the Princess Mansion, Li Yuechen showed a troubled look, sipping tea one after another.

Xiaodong on the side held a letter: "Your Highness, Mr. Zhang Ge sent someone to send it."

Li Yuechen nodded: "I know, when he came back today, he had already said it."

In fact, when he came back today, Zhang Jianzhi said that he wanted to come and have a chat.

At first I thought it was a joke, but Li Yuechen agreed, but I didn't expect it to be good, and all the posts were sent.

These days, people from the upper class cannot visit directly.

You have to send a post first, tell the owner that you plan to visit the house some day, and you will come only after obtaining permission.

To be honest, Li Yuechen didn't want to see him.

To be precise, none of the ministers in the DPRK wanted to see them, and I always felt that talking to them was a very laborious feeling.

But the post has been sent, and the discussion is still a serious matter, and it is impossible to see it, so I can only agree.

In the morning of the next day, Zhang Jianzhi hinted that he had come to the Princess Mansion, and the captain of the guard, Yi Liuru, invited him into the main hall.

When they came to the main hall, they didn't ask him to sit on the chair in the middle, but came to the tea table on the side and asked him to sit down.

This tea table is made of red sandalwood that was a tribute from the Western Regions, which can be regarded as a small luxury.

After sitting down for a while, Li Yuechen, who had changed his clothes after practicing, came to the main hall.

Zhang Jianzhi hurriedly saluted, raised his head for a glance, and then hurriedly lowered his head.

As the weather gradually became hotter, Li Yuechen also put on a long sleeveless vest, exposing his two white arms to the air.

This kind of dress is really nothing in today's Dongdu. Many women in the upper class dress like this at home.

Even the emperor wore it like this when he was free, which was no longer a big deal.

However, in the eyes of an older man like Zhang Jianzhi, it was still a bit indecent.

Li Yuechen didn't care about these things, and sat down directly opposite him: "Mr. Zhang Ge, come here, and speak directly if you have something to say."

While talking, he waved his hands to ask Xiaodong to bring the teapot to make tea.

Zhang Jianzhi said with a smile: "It's not a big deal to come here today, but I just have some doubts and ask His Highness for advice."

"Elder Zhang Ge can be regarded as a great Confucian in the world, and a first-rank warrior in this palace, what can we do with Elder Zhang Ge?" Li Yuechen asked back.

While speaking, he picked up the teacup and blew gently on it twice.

This teacup is a bone china cup made by the porcelain workshop, pure white and translucent.

This thing was also given to the palace a lot, but my mother lacks interest and prefers glass.

Relatively speaking, it is still more popular with foreign businessmen.

Zhang Jianzhi said with a smile: "I just wonder why the provincial system separates the power of conviction from Dali Temple."

"This is also for the sake of the country's stability. Don't today's secret guards also have the right to convict?" Li Yuechen asked rhetorically.

The secret guard, can be said to be the existence that makes many people frightened by the news, which is enough to show its great power!

However, even so, they only have the power to arrest and interrogate, and cannot convict, let alone execute prisoners without permission.

Zhang Jianzhi said softly: "Your Highness, since ancient times, this Dali Temple..."

"If everything is judged according to the ancient times, then there will be no such thing as the prosperity of the country and the people's peace today! Elder Zhang Ge thinks, is what I said right?" Li Yuechen interrupted him directly.

Li Yuechen didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he directly stated the facts.

For so many years, if it weren't for the anomaly of my old lady, your life would not be much different from 200 years ago.

In this regard, Li Yuechen still has a sense of superiority.

For a moment, Zhang Jianzhi didn't know how to speak.

After all, what they said is correct. For so many years, if it weren't for this princess, how could the family eat fine salt like flour?
How can one be so extravagant as to use straw paper to go to the toilet?How can I drink this clear tea?

Moreover, if it weren't for the princess's superior combat power and the invention of various powerful weapons, how could it be so peaceful?

It is precisely because of this princess that the surrounding countries have not dared to make any changes for many years.

Now even the nomads on the northern grasslands are very stable.

Everything that this country can have today is made by this seemingly non-traditional princess.

"What Your Highness said is naturally reasonable, but it's just that the power of conviction in Dali Temple was suddenly separated, and a court was established separately. It feels a bit..." Zhang Jianzhi looked for suitable adjectives while drinking tea.

"It's too much?" Li Yuechen said it for him.

"No, no, no, I definitely don't mean that..."

Li Yuechen smiled: "I know that you have always been close to Mr. Di Ge, and you want to agree with his ideas. Then, what do you think will happen if Dali Temple spreads all over the country in the future, if the power is too large?"

Hearing what she said, Zhang Jianzhi was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately reacted: "So that's it, I understand!"

"Everything I do is to hope for the stability of the country, as long as I understand it!" Li Yuechen nodded with a smile.

When talking to a smart person, you don't need to speak too clearly, he will understand quickly.

Besides, he has a close relationship with Di Renjie, so it doesn't matter if I say a few more words to him.

Zhang Jianzhi didn't expect that this princess actually thought so, that if she wanted to spread Dali Temple all over the country, how many Jinshi would be enough?

But if you think about it carefully, the country seems to be quite rich now, so you don't need to worry about this issue yourself.

And this is also a good thing for the criminal department where I am, after all, with more management, the authority will naturally be greater.

The matter was resolved, and the atmosphere between the two became much more harmonious in an instant.

After chatting casually for a while, Li Yuechen said with a smile: "It's almost noon, Zhang Ge, why not just have lunch at my princess mansion. The cooks in my princess mansion are all taught by myself. It's not bad either!"

"The subordinate is lucky today!" Zhang Jianzhi was not polite, and immediately agreed with a smile.

Although in terms of rank, his Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of the Ministry of War belong to the same level, but Li Yuechen is a princess, a first-class prince, and a first-class prince, so it doesn't matter if he claims to be a subordinate.

Besides, this self-proclaiming can be regarded as a statement, meaning that she is willing to support her.

Whether it's him or Di Renjie, they just hope that someone surnamed Li will inherit the throne in the future.

As for whether it was Li Xian or Li Yuechen, they didn't care.

What's more, all of them think that Li Yuechen is more suitable to be emperor than the present prince Li Xian.

……

Ten days passed quickly, and Li Longji's vacation was over, and he was going back to Qingdao.

That morning, Li Yuechen came to the Xuanwu Gate to see him off.

It's not bright yet, but it doesn't affect the line of sight.

Standing in front of him, Li Yuechen asked softly, "How are you talking with your grandpa?"

"I talked about a bunch of ethical theories, and I feel a little boring." Li Longji replied.

Seeing Li Yuechen's complexion, he immediately added: "But my nephew understands! Family affection is higher than other emotions! Therefore, close relatives cannot be combined."

"I hope you really understand." Li Yuechen nodded, "In the military camp, you can take a look at the logistics even if you have nothing to do on weekdays, observe more, any species, blood relatives, will not have good things! I hope you can remember in the future !"

"Don't worry, aunt, my nephew understands, and I will never mention this matter again!" Li Longji repeatedly promised.

Having said that, Li Yuechen has nothing else to say.

After all, she is not a psychiatrist, so she doesn't know how to solve his problem, so she can only let him understand and discover it by himself.

After another casual chat, Li Yuechen watched him board the airship.

After getting on the carriage, Yiluoru asked: "Your Highness, should I go to the palace or go back to the princess mansion?"

Li Yuechen shook his head: "Go to medical school."

After this incident, she felt that it was time to talk to the medical school about mental illness.

Especially for the royal family who will be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future, mental health is a very important thing!
But I have no way to give them any advice in this regard, so I can only let them figure it out from scratch.
