The beauty's name was Wu Yunsu. Li Chengzhong recalled her conversation and temperament and immediately connected her with Wu Yunsu.
"Wushi? Zhongjing Wushi?"
Wu Yunsu nodded: "The Taifu is my grandfather."
Li Chengzhong suddenly realized: "So she is the daughter of Wu Yanqing, the general of the left prison guard? Wu Yingli is you..."
Wu Yunsu said: "He is my brother."
Li Chengzhong thought for a while and asked again: "You are a lady, why do you come to serve me? Who forced you to come? Tell me, I will vent your anger on your behalf."
Wu Yunsu shook his head, bit his lip, hesitated for a moment and then suddenly knelt down and said: "I beg the governor to forgive me, it's my own decision. I have been living with my grandfather in Shangjing. Yesterday I saw the governor's style by the roadside and heard about many governors.
I admire her from the bottom of my heart for her heroic deeds. I am Luopa's friend to Princess Yang, so...so I entered the palace without authorization last night and asked the princess to grant my wish. I can't blame anyone else, but I am all concubine..."
Li Chengzhong asked again: "Then what will you do after I leave?"
Wu Yunsu's eyes were slightly red: "I don't know... I wish to never marry for the rest of my life... If the governor doesn't like it, I will go back, secretly, without telling anyone..."
Li Chengzhong sighed for a long time and then said: "You, please think more carefully about things in the future. What if I leave for Beijing after tonight? Or I won't recruit you to serve? If I didn't ask just now, I might not even know who you are.
have no idea."
Wu Yunsu had a determined look on her face: "I have thought about it. If this is really the case, I will accept my fate. I can only blame my appearance as Pu Liu for not being in the eyes of the governor. But I really want to see the governor in person. I don't ask for anything else.
It's good as soon as we see each other. Just like last night, I was able to be alone with the governor. They were together all night, alone. It was so happy."
Li Chengzhong was speechless. It turned out that he had recommended himself as a pillow. It seemed that there were star-chasers in ancient times, and they were chasing him. This feeling was really... people couldn't help but feel elated. When he saw Wu Yunsu's sad expression, his heart softened, and he
She helped her up and said, "You will go back today..."
Wu Yunsu was stunned, tears fell down, nodded and choked with sobs: "Yes."
Li Chengzhong smiled: "Where do you want to go? Don't cry, go back to the Taifu's house and stay. Later I will send someone to your house to propose marriage. But I have agreed in advance that I already have one at home, and he can also play music, chess, calligraphy, painting and dance.
They are all outstanding, you will call her sister after you go."
Wu Yun Su Po cried. She had been a pampered daughter since she was a child. She no longer cared about etiquette. She cried and laughed, and kept beating Li Chengzhong's chest: "The governor is really... I can't tell you everything... I'm really heartbroken."
Already..."
After beating her for a few times to get rid of her anger, Wu Yunsu went around and straightened her clothes and said: "Well, I will go back now and wait for the governor to propose marriage. The governor can rest assured, I have suffered hardships since I was a child. Qin
I also know chess, calligraphy and painting. I can definitely talk to that sister about going together. By the way, I also like to ride horses and hunt. I wonder if there are any hunting grounds in Yingzhou? My archery skills are also good. I’m afraid the governor doesn’t know about it. I hunt with my own hands.
Have you ever been to Wild Wolf? Your Excellency and your brother have praised me, saying that I can be a female general. When the time comes, I can go out to fight with the governor. The grassland is windy and sandy. I can go and see the frontier fortress. Cen joins the army, General Gao and the others.
I’m really happy that I can visit all the places I’ve been to. By the way, after I’ve been there, I understand the etiquette and won’t compete with my wife. What’s that sister’s name? I must be respectful to you, Commander-in-Chief.
Just don’t worry.”
It seemed that he was a star-chasing fan whose soul had been seduced by Tang poems. Li Chengzhong shook his head with a wry smile and walked out: "Her name is Wan Zhi. I don't have a main wife and a side wife in my family. The so-called 'all living beings are equal', haha."
When he went out, he ran into Zhong Shao waiting. Li Chengzhong patted him on the shoulder and asked: "Old Zhong, how was last night? Was it romantic?"
Zhong Shao said angrily: "Where is the time? Last night, I was busy arranging the military garrison, inspecting the gates and reaffirming the military laws and disciplines. It was a lot of trouble. That Wang Taidi got two girls to attend to him, and one of them fell on the bed.
I can't keep my eyes open. I have to get up early this morning to deal with various military affairs."
Li Chengzhong couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Uh... thank you for your hard work. I was just hiding for a while. I'm sorry, haha."
Zhong Shao said: "What did the Governor say? You are the leader of the entire army. You can only consider the general situation. It is only right to leave these details to the brothers. Besides, the victory of conquering the country is such a great achievement that it is understandable for the Governor to enjoy a night."
To be honest, the brothers have all seen the hard work the Governor has done over the past year."
Li Chengzhong was a little surprised: "Old Zhong, you talked a lot today, why did you change your temper?" Zhong Shao has always been a sarcastic person, but today he actually posted such a long list of emotions, which is indeed a bit unusual.
Zhong Shao was startled, then thought for a while and said: "Perhaps our foundation has grown and we have more things to deal with, so I have talked more unknowingly. At the beginning, we only had twenty-three people, but now we control a whole country.
All the affairs of the tens of thousands of troops have to be given one by one, and I have been talking too much in the past two days. When the governor said this, I remembered that I have probably said more in the past two days than last year combined, haha."
Li Chengzhong consoled him: "Aren't there the ministers below? Many things will be explained to us."
Zhong Shao said: "Thanks to our Yingzhou military system established by the governor, so many people helped us, and we were able to take care of everything. If it hadn't been for them, I would have been exhausted and couldn't have managed it."
While the two were talking, they came to the political hall in the south of the imperial city. In addition to the important personnel of the Yingzhou Army, there were also the chief minister of the Supervisory State, Pei Ting, the Grand Tutor Wu Yindu, Gao, Yang, Li, etc.
All the military generals gathered here to discuss the "constitutional" matter mentioned by Li Chengzhong.
Li Chengzhong has been thinking about the changes in Bohai State these days. After careful consideration, he came to the conclusion that the reason for the turmoil in the country lies in the unclear authority between the old and new forces in Bohai State. Although Bohai State has
The official system and model were all modeled after the Tang Dynasty, but the composition of its power was essentially similar to that of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and even the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty. The power in the country was firmly controlled by the noble gentry. This control was achieved based on conventions or customs, and was
There is no clear law to limit it. For example, the old clans represented by the five powerful families have traditionally firmly controlled all the power. When their power expands, they will extend their hands into every corner of the court, from the perspective of culture and governance.
Taking away more power will make the emerging aristocratic families and poor families have no hope in their career. Therefore, it will inevitably cause a strong rebound from the emerging aristocratic families and poor families.
When the intensity of the backlash reaches a certain level, the conflict between the two sides will inevitably become increasingly fierce. Once the emerging family is lucky enough to have some say, they will definitely target the army. Therefore, things like the "Tribute Dispute" will eventually occur.
It can be expected that it will turn into a military confrontation.
Li Chengzhong's solution is to establish a constitution. The authority of all parties is clarified, and the powerful families shrink their hands to give up a political space to the emerging families. At the same time, they erect a barrier. The authority in their hands is clearly protected, and both parties get what they want. , forming a relatively stable framework over a period of time.
Regarding the idea of establishing a constitution, Li Chengzhong has discussed a rough outline with Pei Ting these days, and has privately solicited the opinions of Gao and other powerful people. What is presented today is a concrete charter for everyone to discuss. .
There is no such thing as a supreme law in ancient law. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, the law of the Tang Dynasty was the "Yonghui Code", and all aspects of the law were integrated into one code. Li Chengzhong's so-called constitution was to make it about the composition of state power. Parts of the framework are proposed separately to be improved and supplemented, that is, to establish a regulation on the political system.
Li Chengzhong further explained the meaning of the so-called "Constitution". Of course, his explanation was only based on his half-knowledge. But it was enough to explain its meaning.
"The so-called constitution is actually the fundamental law, that is, the supreme code. All legal provisions must follow the constitution or not violate the spirit of the constitution. Once any law conflicts with the constitution, it is unconstitutional and should be abolished or modified. Today I have convened you all to discuss this constitution. I hope to create a good system for the long-term peace and stability of the Bohai Sea so that what happened today will not happen again. Please take a look. If there is anything that needs to be added or improved, just put it forward."
Li Chengzhong has set the tone for this meeting, which is to discuss the constitution, not to deny it. That is to say, it can only be improved and modified within the general framework of this constitution, and nothing else will be discussed.
In the "New Testament of the Bohai Kingdom" drafted by Pei Ting and Han Yanhui, the country's system is described item by item. The most important aspect is the clear agreement on the rights of each party.
The first article of the "New Testament of the Bohai State" stipulates that the Bohai State is a vassal vassal of the Tang Dynasty, a military state of the Tang Dynasty, and is controlled by officials designated by the Tang Dynasty. The second article emphasizes that the people of Bohai are the people of the Tang Dynasty, no matter who they are. Regardless of their clan or surname, they are all subjects of the Tang Dynasty. The third article clarifies the scope of power of the Bohai State, that is, the jurisdiction of internal affairs, and the relevant diplomatic and military powers are left to the Tang Dynasty. The above three articles are the highest clauses of the New Covenant and have the highest Effectiveness.
In the New Testament, there are detailed provisions for the king and ministers of the Bohai Kingdom. The king of Bohai is the king of Bohai County of the Tang Dynasty, and the crown prince of the Bohai Kingdom is the prince of Donglou County, who was enfeoffed by the Tang Dynasty. The king and the prince are both served by the eldest clan of the Bohai Kingdom. Generations have changed. The establishment of a king or a prince requires canonization by the Tang Dynasty. Those who have not been canonized by the Tang Dynasty will not be recognized by the Tang Dynasty and will not be supported by the Bohai subjects.
Bohai State follows the system of three provinces and six ministries. The governor of Zhengtang Province is the prime minister, the governor of Xuanzhao Province is the left prime minister, and the governor of Zhongtai Province is the right prime minister. The prime minister is respected. The three prime ministers form a cabinet to handle all state affairs and are responsible to the king. Officials serving as three prime ministers must be from the imperial examination. They are elected every five years, and each term must not exceed two terms. The new cabinet prime minister must be nominated by the king and voted by the Academy of Honors. The cabinet prime ministers nominated by the king shall be elected every year. There should be no less than three people.
The Bohai State established the Honors Council, which is composed of the crown prince, three ministers, three divisions, military generals, six ministries and the chief minister of the Taiwan Temple Supervisor. It supervises the administration of the cabinet and determines the successive cabinet prime ministers based on the king's nomination and vote.
The ten guards of the two armies are the permanent local garrison of the Bohai Kingdom. They are commanded by the Da, Gao, Wu, Yang, and Li families. They are loyal to the constitution and accept the dual leadership of the king and officials designated by the Tang Dynasty. When there is a conflict between the king and the orders of the Tang Dynasty, The Tang Dynasty shall prevail. When the Tang Dynasty needs it, the army has the obligation to fight for the Tang Dynasty. When necessary, the Tang Dynasty can use military intervention to maintain the stability of the Bohai State.
Honglu Temple is responsible for Bohai State's foreign affairs, and the chief minister of Honglu Temple is an official designated by the Tang Dynasty.
…
The most critical points in this New Testament lie in three places: first, the military and diplomatic power of the Bohai State was taken away by Li Chengzhong; second, the cabinet's jurisdiction over domestic political affairs was clarified, and the three ministers were co-ordinated and the chief minister was respected. The system weakens the power of the prime minister to a certain extent and imposes limits on the term of office; third, it clarifies that military power belongs to the five great clans, but it also limits the interference of the five great clans in state affairs - the cabinet prime minister must Passed the imperial examination and was nominated by the king and voted by the Academy of Honors.
Pei Ting and Han Yanhui explained to everyone one by one that the important ministers of the Bohai Kingdom were thinking carefully. The five major clans were happy and worried. They were happy that their status would be more consolidated in the future, but they were worried that it would not be easy to get involved in state affairs in the future. The generals of the Wei Dynasty were also concerned about one thing, that is, how to accept the leadership of the Tang Dynasty militarily.
In this regard, Han Yanhui explained that in terms of military affairs, officials assigned by the Tang Dynasty were responsible for controlling the entire Bohai Army. For now, the Huaiyue and Yuhou Joint Headquarters set up by Li Chengzhong, the governor of Yingzhou, was specifically responsible. He will be responsible for the situation of the joint headquarters. He made an introduction, and then said: "Captain Li is preparing to recruit three Bohai generals into the joint headquarters to make unified decisions on all matters of the joint headquarters. According to General Li's instructions, the right-leading army guard Zhonglang, Gao Mingxun, and the left-hand guard guard Zhonglang General Wu Xingli each led a thousand cavalry to join the Huaiyue coalition. The above two people automatically obtained the position of candidate for the joint headquarters. Of course, all military equipment and equipment were provided by the two clans themselves. Presumably neither the Gao family nor the Wushi family would have any objections. There is still one seat left, I wonder who is willing to join."
Obviously not everyone was willing to let go of such an important position, so the remaining three families started fighting for it.
Da Weijing hurriedly said: "Han Yuhou, Da family's wish"
Li Yuanguang also shouted: "Jinwu Guards is willing to send two thousand troops, two thousand troops!"
Yang Xuanen shouted: "A certain Qianniu Guard is willing to give three thousand."
Han Yanhui said: "We only need one thousand for now, because the new army will be trained by the Yingzhou Army's Operational Training Department. Currently, the Operational Training Department does not have the capacity to train more sergeants. As for who will join, Captain Li will finally be asked." discretion.”
Li Chengzhong did not decide immediately. He wanted to observe again and listen to the opinions of Zhong Shao and other joint headquarters Yuhou, so he stopped the three families' dispute: "Let's discuss this matter later. In this way, everyone has a preliminary understanding of the New Testament." I need to go back and think more about it. I will give you some time. If there is anything that needs to be added or improved, come up with the charter. Let’s discuss it here for today. The meeting is dismissed.” Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better updated. Faster!
