Chapter 161 The meeting of the princes and alliance begins
This is a huge palace.
In this huge palace, there is a magnificent dragon throne in the middle.
There is a little forward of the dragon chaise, and there are nine tiger-shaped stern chairs on both sides, representing the actions of the eighteen department heads of Zhuxia.
In addition to the emperor, the Zhuxia Federation had eighteen departments.
The eighteen departments are on the left: the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Works, the Court, the Supervision Office, and the Internship Court.
Right: Ministry of Education, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of National Defense, General Staff, Department of Logistics, National Security Bureau, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Industry.
These eighteen departments are the eighteen highest departments in Zhuxia, including the Ministry of War, the Ministry of National Defense, the General Staff, and the Logistics Department.
The National Security Bureau, the Court, the Supervision Court, and the Internship Court exist independently and are only responsible to the emperor. The nine departments of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Industry are under the management of the cabinet, and the Prime Minister of the cabinet needs to be a minister of a certain department to do it.
The prime minister of the cabinet is the head of the cabinet, and the real prime minister was formed by many prime ministers. This term and the previous term, that is, the prime minister of the cabinet, were both Liang Yuan Dynasty.
Of course, the prime minister of the Liang Yuan Dynasty did not have absolute rights.
There were nine prime ministers in the cabinet, so they restricted the Liang Yuan Dynasty with eight deputy prime ministers.
The deputy prime minister is the head of each department, but the chief prime minister himself cannot control the actual department, but he has the right to control other departments except the military.
This is also the reason why the Liang Yuan Dynasty took risks and prepared to usurp the throne by force. Otherwise, if the prime minister had absolute power, then the emperor was just a puppet. It would be very easy for the prime minister to change his emperor or let the emperor abdicate.
But in fact, this is not the case. The emperor is elected from the descendants of the previous emperor. If there is only one descendant of the previous emperor, then the descendants of the previous emperor will be 100% of the descendants of the previous emperor.
If there are many daughters of the previous emperor, then the test questions will be set to test the emperor's daughter. The one who passes the test and performs the best will be able to inherit the throne of the emperor.
In this way, the emperors and prime ministers selected by the Xia Federation were not mediocre, but were basically elites.
This is also one of the reasons why the Zhuxia Federation has been developing for so many years, and has been constantly developing.
Go a little further forward on both sides,
In addition to the nine tiger-shaped priest chairs on both sides, there are countless crane-shaped seats and tables in the palace hall. There are a large number of such seats and tables, with more than 100,000.
This palace is the hall where the meeting of princes begins.
With the arrival of the meeting of princes, the hall began to become lively and princes began to enter the venue one by one.
There were more than 100,000 seats, and the front was soon filled with people. The princes sat in their seats, waiting seriously for the arrival of the meeting of princes.
Qin Zheng was also among them. Not long after, the eighteen tiger-shaped stern chairs in front began to be filled with people, and the controllers of various departments of the Xia Federation began to arrive one by one.
In addition, the controllers of various forces in the Xia Federation also arrived one by one.
The controllers of these forces are also the existence of the lords who will be sealed next.
As the spiritual energy recovers, the earth star continues to grow, and the territory of the entire Xia Federation has also become countless times larger. In this way, the places that the Xia Federation could originally control cannot be considered too much in the territory of the Xia Federation, and can only occupy a small part.
In this way, in order to control this huge territory, the Xia Federation prepared to upgrade the original title of princes and lords, so that they could control more territory and pasture for the Xia Federation.
But this is not enough, because the deaths of many princes and lords caused heavy losses to the princes and lords of the Xia Federation. Even if the territory of the remaining princes and lords is expanded and upgraded, they still cannot fully control the existing territory of the Xia Federation.
Therefore, enfeoffing more vassal territories became the best way to do the current situation.
The lords of the princes who were enfeoffed could not be enfeoffed at will, otherwise the lords of the princes who were enfeoffed would not only not be able to defend their territory, but would instead increase the burden on the Xia federations.
Therefore, the major forces became the first to be enfeoffed.
These forces are very powerful and have the ability to guard various territories for the Xia Federation. If these forces enfeoff them, they will greatly increase the control of the Xia Federation over the directly subordinate territory. This is a disguised enhancement of the strength of the directly subordinate territory of the Xia Federation.
Therefore, it is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Of course, if the Liang Yuan Dynasty had no other ideas, according to this plan, the Xia Federation would become very powerful step by step.
Unfortunately, this meeting of princes is obviously not that simple. This meeting of princes is destined to happen.
As most of the people arrived, Prime Minister Liang Yuanchao began to enter the venue, came to the prime minister's exclusive seat, and sat down and waited.
"Your Majesty is here!"
"Your Majesty is here!"
"Your Majesty is here!"
...
At this time, the emcee's voice sounded. Under the sound of footsteps, Zhu Siyao, with the support of a group of close servants, came to the dragon throne in the middle and sat directly on the dragon throne.
At this time, the emcee's voice sounded again.
"Are you all the ministers and princes, stand up and worship Your Majesty!"
As the master of ceremonies rang out, the ministers and princes and the lords of power stood up one by one, bowed to Zhu Siyao and said, "See Your Majesty."
"Everyone is calm!"
Zhu Siyao's crisp and beautiful voice sounded, and then the lords of the power of the princes and ministers who had finished worshipping each other began to take their seats.
At this time, Zhu Siyao's voice sounded again: "The meeting of princes has begun, and now we will start the issue."
Zhu Siyao was straightforward and obviously didn't want to delay, so she was preparing to let the meeting of princes enter the agenda.
At this time, Liang Yuan Dynasty stood up, came to the middle podium, and began to say: "This time, the meeting of princes is mainly to increase the number of princes, increase the title of princes, and allow more powerful people to guard the territory for the Xia.
This time, eighteen princes will be enfeoffed to command princes in various regions and assist the Federation in controlling the territory of the Xia Dynasty. In addition to the princes, the ranks of dukes will be increased to 108, the ranks of marquis will be increased to 300, and the ranks of Counts will be increased to 100,000, and the barons will be increased to 1 million. As for the ranks of jazz, there will be countless jazz.
Among them, the titles of baron or above all have real territories of feudal territory. The lords of jazz are no longer the existence of lords of feudal lords. The lords of jazz will be the existence of honorary nobles and can enjoy the privileges of some nobles, but there is no territory.
