Chapter Best Ending

Wang Yinglin's thoughts were just as the emperor guessed. He had been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades, was familiar with historical allusions, and knew very well that although the inner court had restrictions that he could not interfere in foreign affairs, the rules were set by people and could be abolished at any time.

As an institution responsible for royal affairs, the inner court seemed to be responsible for managing the emperor's daily life, but it was also the person closest to the emperor and could not be held by his confidants. Therefore, the inner court also had a saying that once the emperor's will was difficult to be implemented in the outside court, it could use the "villain" to do it, and regain control of the government and regain power.

Of course this is not an exaggeration. The palace chaos in previous dynasties, the interference of foreign relatives in politics, the abolition of power by the eunuchs, etc. seem to be chaos in the inner court, but in fact the root cause was the intensification of power struggle between the inner court and the outer court. Therefore, the outer court has always been vigilant against the inner court, taking various measures to limit the power of the inner court and interfere with the internal affairs of the royal family.

Wang Yinglin also knew that the inner court was very powerful at the moment. The Military Affairs Office could go beyond the outer court and directly issue orders to interfere in the affairs of the six ministries, mobilize the army, and appoint and remove officials. Although the Military Affairs Office is in name only, the "Imperial Front Office" is still there, saying that it is responsible for communicating the contact between the inner court and the outer court and assisting the emperor in handling official affairs. In fact, to a certain extent, it has become His Majesty's assistant to handle military and political affairs, and a potential force that influences the emperor's decision.

Wang Yinglin also had to admire the young emperor's vision of identifying people and his ability to train subordinates. Look at Lin Zhiwu, Cai Qiao, Cai Ruoshui, and Duke Zhuang who were now in charge of the imperial court were already officials and capable ministers in governing the world, and their original backgrounds were just ordinary scholars.

The strength of the Imperial Front Office is much weaker than before because of the "old men"'s expatriates. However, now Chen Shishi, Ma Duanlin and Xu Wunan are both heroes of the time. With a little training and training, they can stand alone within a few years. There is also Ni Liang, the chief magistrate of the Imperial Front Army who is always with the emperor. He used to be just a country boy, and now he is also a general who can make good at fighting.

What made the outer court most afraid of was the armed force of the imperial guards. It nominally belonged to the Privy Council, but the Privy Council could not be transferred. He only obeyed the emperor's orders. From food and clothing to weapons, it was supplied by the inner treasury and had nothing to do with the outer court. This also determined that the guards were only loyal to the emperor and would never obey the mobilization of the outer courts, and became an army outside the army directly under the emperor.

As a personal experience of the entire Northern Expedition, the combat effectiveness of the imperial guards also left a deep impression on Wang Yinglin. They both undertook the most difficult tasks in the Jiangdong and Fuli battles. They did not retreat at all in the face of powerful enemies, dared to fight and rush, and could severely damage the enemy and win every battle. In the Battle of Fancheng, the guards moved forward for a thousand miles and conquered the city in half a day, which shows their combat effectiveness.

With such a strong army beside him, guarding the capital and guarding the imperial city, no matter what kind of turmoil occurs, His Majesty can crush all opposition forces into pieces with a greeting. Thinking about the gentry, who wanted to rely on the witch and Han charlatan to stir up public opinion and those scholars who had no power to write a letter to force the emperor to surrender. It is really ignorant of their ability.

Besides, hundreds of thousands of imperial guards in the Song Dynasty were loyal to the little emperor. Wang Yinglin thought that going to Jingxiang to supervise the battle would lead to some twists and turns, but those generals with heavy troops could not resist in front of the little emperor, and they were all tied up. His prestige among the soldiers was even unattainable. Without waiting for his orders, the soldiers spontaneously risked the order to welcome the emperor. It can be seen that the little emperor's control over the army was difficult for Taizu to reach.

Thinking of this, Wang Yinglin felt powerless. The current little emperor was no longer the child ten years ago. He had quietly completed the layout and had his own team in the court. He had quietly inserted his confidant ministers in the local area, so that his decree could be implemented and implemented. Through this Northern Expedition, his prestige in the army was once again consolidated. Especially in his personal expedition to Xiangyang, he took advantage of the situation and eliminated the last force of the old generals in the army.

The restoration of the three provinces this time was just the emperor who integrated all forces of the court, allowing his confidants to enter the highest authority, divide and weaken the opposition, and thus complete the last step of his own control of the court plan. In a few years, even an old minister like himself would retire. At that time, there was only the emperor's voice in the court, and no one could challenge his authority.

It is terrible to think about a child who has set up such a big situation many years ago, but this also proves that the young emperor is so meticulous, long-term, and quick-witted. Through the chances of turmoil in the court, he quietly began to strengthen his own strength and attack dissidents. But this is the best result. The court did not experience great turmoil, and smoothly completed the alternation of new and old and the transfer of power. The old ministers were able to escape unscathed and enjoy their old age.

"Now, all the affairs of the inner court belong to the Imperial City Department, but the affairs of the inner court are becoming increasingly complicated and cannot bear it. I want to restore the eunuchs and ministers to be responsible for the affairs of the inner court." Zhao Bing poured tea for the two and replied with a smile.

"Oh, I think it's true. Now it's not as small as in Qiongzhou, the palace city is small and has fewer affairs. Your Majesty has already married and gave birth to a prince and a princess. The affairs have increased dramatically, and it's hard to bear it by relying on the Imperial City Department!" Wang Yinglin woke up from his thoughts and said politely.

He knew that after the relocation of the Chaozhou Dynasty to Qiongzhou, he only built a palace city with a very small scope. The inner court was simple in its escape and the organization was not complete. Later, it merged with the inner court of the General's Mansion to establish the Imperial City Office to take charge of the affairs of the inner court. There were only a hundred personnel and few eunuchs. He had to rely on the small guard camp at that time to ensure operation.

After returning to Lin'an, the old palace was destroyed by a fire. Your Majesty was reduced and it was not rebuilt. Instead, he borrowed Emperor Gaozong's palace Chongde Palace to rectify and expand it slightly as the palace city. Although the personnel increased and the Six Shangs were restored, some officials were also established but not established, and they had no name. And they were still in charge of the Imperial City Department. Now it seems that it is out of place and does not conform to the etiquette system.

The provincial eunuch had long been established, and was the emperor's close attendance organization, specializing in managing internal affairs of the palace. In the early Northern Qi Dynasty, the provincial eunuch and Changqiu Temple were established; in the early Sui Dynasty, it was later called the provincial eunuch, and later it was called Changqiujian, which was used as eunuchs and scholars to serve the emperor and manage the affairs of the palace. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called the provincial eunuch, or the provincial eunuch, and the provincial eunuch, which was specially used for eunuchs. The chief eunuch, eunuch, and other officials were appointed as the chief officials, who were in charge of conveying eunuchs, guarding the palace gates, sweeping the inner court, and taking care of the emperor's food and daily life.

This dynasty added the provincial governor of the inner eunuch, and the provincial governor of the inner eunuch was named the front and rear eunuch, and the provincial governor of the inner eunuch was particularly close to it. During the confinement of the general servants, those who were in charge of the county were assigned to the provincial governor of the inner eunuch. In the hall of the archery, those who were in charge of the position of cleaning and the merchandise were assigned to the provincial governor of the inner eunuch.

"Your Majesty, will the provincial eunuch still be established?" Xie Fangde asked.

"No, I initially imagine that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will have a secretary supervisor, a hall supervisor, and will serve as a supervisor, a military supervisor, an internal affairs supervisor, an imperial hospital and an imperial city secretary, namely the Five Supervisors, one hospital and one department, and will be in charge of all affairs of the inner court."

"Your Majesty, what are you in charge of the Secretary and the Hall Prison?" Wang Yinglin asked. But he was a little calmer. The rank of the officials in the prison was generally lower than that of the provincial government, so it would be difficult for the internal officials to reach the top in one step and serve as the chief magistrate. This is a kind of restraint of the inner court and can also be regarded as His Majesty's concession.

The Secretariat was a central organization specializing in managing the national collection of books. From the establishment of the Secretary-General in the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the promotion of the Secretariat in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, he knew that after Qin Shihuang burned books, the collection of books in the world was almost complete. In addition to the limitations of hand-copying methods and bamboo and silk carriers, books are the most precious items for ordinary people. Since the Western Han Dynasty, the court has issued many edicts to ask for books, which were kept in the secret palace in the palace, and it is rare for idle people to see them. The word "secretary" comes from this.

In this specific historical environment, the Secretariat naturally received great attention and enjoyed a high status. However, with the development of history and the progress of society, printing and publishing technology gradually matured and the number of books increased. Many places have emerged academies, library buildings, etc., even in the central government, the book collection institutions are not limited to the secretary's office, and their importance is gradually weakened.

In the early days of this dynasty, the books of the classics were returned to the Secret Pavilion, and the secretary only held the sacrificial and tributes. Shenzong Yuanfeng changed the official system, the secretariat was restored, the calendar office, the association office, the National History Records Institute, etc. were all under the jurisdiction of the Secretariat, and the scale was larger than that of the Tang Dynasty. However, after the Jingkang and Deyou Rebellion, the national books were either abducted or destroyed by war, and the Secretariat had been in name only.

As for the Palace, the Palace was established after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and a magistrate was established in the Menxia Province. In the Sui Dynasty, the Palace Insider was established. In the Tang Dynasty, the Palace Insider was changed to the Palace Insider, which was in charge of all the affairs of the emperor's life. The six bureaus of Shang Food Bureau, Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau, Shang Yi Bureau, Shang She Bureau, Shang Cheng Bureau, Shang Nian Bureau. In the year of Longshuo, the Tang Dynasty was changed to the Central Imperial Palace, and the Xianheng year was restored. This dynasty was established, but it was only a quotation official, and the Six Shang Bureau was held by its office, such as Shang Food Returning to the Imperial Kitchen, Shang Yao Returning to the Medical Office, etc., which have been in name only.

"I plan to expand the functions of the secretary and supervisor. Not only will I take charge of the secretaries of the world, but I will also incorporate the imperial front office into it, and set up several bureaus in charge to assist me in handling all the official duties, arranging court meetings, travel, meetings and other daily affairs." Zhao Bing took a sip of tea and said, "The supervisor in the palace is responsible for all the miscellaneous tasks of the inner court, and handed over the wine warehouse, inner wine shop, outer material warehouse, cattle and sheep department, cheese courtyard, wine and vinegar warehouse, chariot and horse courtyard, imperial village, imperial garden, palace, procurement, etc. to them!"

"As for the generals, military weapons and Imperial Hospital, everything is normal, while the Internal Affairs Supervisor is in charge of the affairs of the inner palace, and set up the Six Shangshu Bureaus, all of which are responsible for the management of the inner treasury, serving the royal family and nobles, and are not allowed to interfere in foreign affairs." Zhao Bing slowed down and said, "The Imperial City Secretary is in charge of the palace guards and the Luanyi Guards, abolished the Imperial Front Guards' General Office, and the power will be moved to the Imperial City Secretary!"
