Chapter 438 Zhao

Li Chongjiu looked at Wen Yanbo, and asked with a smile: "Wen Aiqing, is this year your Geng?"

Wen Yanbo replied respectfully: "Wei Chen was born in the second year of Jiande, and since Qu Zhizhi has been wasting his time forty-eight times."

"Time flies. A few years ago, Wen Aiqing went to Huaihuang Town to offer three strategies. I still remember it alone. Does Aiqing still remember?"

Wen Yanbo recalled the past with a look of nostalgia.After a long time, Wen Yanbo said with emotion: "I don't want the king to remember. At the beginning, I offered three strategies. The first strategy was to take Zhuo County as the foundation land, the second strategy was to enrich the people and stabilize the territory, and the third strategy was to promote Confucianism and educate the place. Now the three strategies The policy has been implemented, my lord is wise and powerful, and has been trusted by the king, and I am really happy."

Li Chongjiu said gratifiedly: "I have Wen Aiqing, like a fish in water. In the past few years, I have worked hard in Youzhou. But now I have a cloud of talents in Youzhou. There are many capable ministers and officials in Tongji. You are the head of civil servants, what advantages do you think you have over others?"

Wen Yanbo was the first scholar who voluntarily defected to Li Chongjiu, so Li Chongjiu has always entrusted him with great importance. Afterwards, Wei Zheng, Lu Chengqing, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xuansu joined Youzhou successively.Everyone inevitably disagreed, saying that Wen Yanbo's success today was purely because he took the lead, but in terms of talent, he was no better than Wei, Lu and others.

Of course Wen Yanbo also knew this. He looked at Wang Gui and Wei Zheng on the left and right, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Serving the country diligently, being resourceful and strategic, a minister is not as good as Zhang Xuansu; a minister who is both talented and civil and military, and strategizing is not as good as a minister." ;Able to handle affairs, without delays in cases, ministers are not as filial; with remonstrance as the heart, shame the king is not as good as Yao and Shun, ministers are not as good as levy; promote turbidity and promote the clean, disease and evil like good, ministers are not as good as Wang Shujie, but the instructions are detailed and the cashier only agrees, The minister and several ministers and workers are as long as one day."

Wen Yanbo's words were neither humble nor overbearing, which not only showed his determination to be Zhongshu Ling, but also made his colleagues not jealous, everyone nodded together, even Wei Zheng and Wang Gui couldn't help stroking their beards, and secretly praised them in their hearts.

Li Chongjiu laughed when he heard this. He has always been very good at words, but it seems that Wen Yanbo's calm and eloquent ability is far inferior to Ji Chuan's, but he speaks just right at the critical moment. This is real kung fu.

Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "The report is detailed, and the cashier only agrees. For a day, Wen Aiqing really has the bearing of a minister, enough to be the order of Zhongshu. I hope Wen Aiqing can help me in the future."

Wen Yanbo knelt down and said: "I will bow down and die."

But seeing Wen Yanbo's voice choked up a little, he was obviously very excited.Establishing the order in the book is considered to be more than half of the general's formulation.

The next day, when discussing the system, Li Chongjiu announced the official system of the system of two provinces and six ministries.

In addition, according to the Sui system, the eleven temples are responsible for royal affairs. Taichang, Guanglu, Weiwei, Zongzheng, Taipu, Dali, Honglu, Sinong, Taifu, and Guozi will be eleven temples, and each temple will be divided into eleven temples. Zhiqing, Shaoqing.

Li Chongjiu simplified this, but some had to be kept, such as the head of the eleven temples, Taichang Temple, which was responsible for sacrifices, rituals and music, medicine, divination, Guanglu Temple, which was responsible for the diet of the royal banquet, and Weiwei Temple. Guard of honor, arsenal, Zongzheng Temple is responsible for the royal genealogy, and Taipu Temple is responsible for royal carriages and horses.

Li Chongjiu simplified everything, shooting an inner court official, coordinating all matters, food and drink for Yang Ehuang, the house Deyun to manage, arsenal of honor, carriages and horses by personal soldiers, and the five temples were directly removed.It's not that Li Chongjiu doesn't want to set it up, but right now he's just becoming a king, and there's no need to be so extravagant. With Youzhou's current financial resources, he doesn't have the money to support so many idlers.

At the same time, the Honglu Temple, which received foreign guests, was assigned to the Ministry of Rites, the Sinong Temple, which managed the royal assets, was assigned to the Ministry of Households, Jiangzuo Temple, which was in charge of royal civil engineering, and Taifu Temple, which was responsible for handicraft industry, was assigned to the Ministry of Industry.Among the eleven temples, only Dali Temple and Guozi Temple remain.

Dali Temple is responsible for the review of official crimes and civilian death sentences, which is almost equivalent to the modern Supreme Court, while Guozi Temple is the official school of Youzhou. One is criminal law and the other is teaching.

Dali Temple and Guozi Temple are not owned by Shangshu Province and Zhongshu Province, but directly under the imperial court.

The central system is generally determined, and the place below is the place. After becoming the queen, Li Chongjiu will no longer set up the Youzhou Governor's Mansion.The Six Caos of each county are directly responsible to the Six Departments of Shangshu Province, and the government orders are communicated by the Zhongshu Province.

Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province, directly under the jurisdiction of Shanggu County, Yanmen County, Zhuo County, Anle County, Yuyang County, Beiping County, Liaoxi County, Taiyuan County, Hengshan County, Boling County, a total of ten counties, plus Li Chongjiu in Huaihuang , Yuyi Second Town, and the newly established Ruoshui Prefecture Protectorate, with a total of eleven administrative units.

Although someone proposed to Li Chongjiu to set up state management in the county, Li Chongjiu did not agree.However, Li Chongjiu merged the two counties of Hengshan and Boling, and Xu Shiji served as the governor of Hebei Province.

Xu Shiji didn't have to go through the six parts, Zhongshu Shilang, but directly shot to the left and right servants of Shangshu Sheng, who was in charge of Zhongshu Sheng Zhongshu Ling, so as to obtain the most timely deployment of soldiers, horses, money and food, as well as the first-time communication of news.

Ruoshui Prefecture's Protectorate also followed this example,
The rest of the county system and county system remain unchanged, following the old system of the Sui Dynasty.

Sui Huangtai three years, Tang Wude three years, the first month.

Li Chongjiu mobilized [-] soldiers and more than [-] civilians to build an altar ten miles south of Jixian County.

The altar has four floors, each eight feet and one inch high, the lower floor is twenty feet wide, the second floor is fifteen feet wide, the third floor is ten feet wide, and the fourth floor is five feet wide. It will be built in twenty days.

On the day of the completion of the construction, a mighty royal team left from Youzhou to the south of the city.

The ones who went first were a thousand soldiers holding black feather banners, and a thousand cavalry led by Yinghe Fu guarded behind.

After one thousand rides, there were the mighty Youzhou Three Thousand Mansion Army, the mansion army's black iron armor, holding a large banner, rolling up, and the yellow dust from the footsteps covered the sky and the sun.

After the Fanqi government army, it was Yijia Lubo, Zhongshu ordered Wen Yanbo to lead all the officials of the Zhao Kingdom, with 81 chariots behind them, and walked slowly.

After the chariots were driven, two teams of cavalry and six teams of infantry, with silver armor on their heads and chests tied with silk, cleared the way in front, while twelve soldiers holding the banner of Zhao Zi came from behind.

But this is not over yet, the Imperial Forest Army composed of twelve rows of cavalry, holding horizontal knives, bows and arrows, walked slowly, with drums and music behind them.

Advocacy includes drums, big drums, cymbal drums, festival drums, small drums, and Yubao drums. Music includes flute, xiao, ji, long-sounding and middle-singing, big horizontal blowing, 筚篥, and golden cymbals.

After the advocacy team, Yubao, Daren, Huizhu, and Banjian all passed by together, dazzled, and saw Zhao Wang driving behind.

The chariot was surrounded by 41 drivers, with white and yellow axes erected on the left and right. On the other two sides, Wang Mahan and Yu Chigong were escorted by the left and right generals. There were more than a dozen teams of cavalry and infantry guarding the chariot.

After the car was driven, there were another thousand Fanjun cavalry with white feather flags in their hands, commanded by the commanding army.

The last one was Tanzong. The left and right infantry teams led by Ugunai were divided into 48 teams.

Outside the altar in the southern suburbs, Li Chongjiu invited unofficial gentry and village elders from Youzhou to watch the ceremony together.
In addition, from the grasslands, the five tribes of the Xi clan, Khitan, Mohe, Shiwei, and the head of the Qi.When they saw Li Chongjiu's guard of honor of ten thousand people, they couldn't help being stunned and shocked.

After arriving at the altar, Li Chongjiu got out of the car, and saw him striding forward in a five-dragon crown suit. The nobles and old people on the side all jumped forward when they saw him, showing great respect. Congratulate Li Chongjiu in awe, and offer congratulatory gifts one by one.

Li Chongjiu said in his heart that this ostentation is still effective. Although it is a little bit of a thirteen, it is indeed effective.

The common people don't know how many victories the country has won in a year, how many places have been pacified, and how much money and food have increased in a year. Only through such an intuitive display can they understand.For example, after Wu Zetian usurped the throne, she couldn't wait to build the Vientiane Shrine, which also had this intention.

After Li Chongjiu accepted everyone's congratulations, he immediately went up to the altar. After the ceremony was completed, all the officials, soldiers, and common people knelt down under the altar, shouting a thousand years old.

On this day, Li Chongjiu ascended the throne in the south of Ji County, and his country was called Zhao. He confronted Li Tang in Guanzhong from east to west.
