Dali Kyoto, inside the Shengtian Hall of the Imperial City.
Qin Wei was sitting at his desk handling court affairs.
It has been more than half a month since he ascended the throne. The ministers in the court have become accustomed to his new emperor, and he is also accustomed to squatting in Shengtian Hall to handle government affairs every day.
Although this kind of life was a bit boring, Qin Wei still settled down and worked hard in order to master the court as soon as possible.
As for the government affairs of the court, although it is a bit complicated, there are also many very important things.
The territory of the Dali Dynasty spanned 9,000 miles from north to south and 14,000 miles from east to west. It was divided into 13 prefectures, with more than 200 prefectures and nearly 2,000 counties, and a population of up to 500 million.
In such a huge dynasty, countless things happened every day.
Qin Wei looked at a memorial and frowned.
"What's going on with this book?" he asked, his face darkening.
Eunuch Lu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Luo Qin, the prefect of Jiangnan Prefecture, and Song Lin, the prefect of Nanning Prefecture, have been feuding for a long time. The two sides have impeached each other and refused to give in. Recently, they have reported several times in a row that the cabinet intends to move
One of them was transferred from Ningzhou, but the opinions of several cabinet elders were not unanimous, so~"
Eunuch Lu didn't say anything else, and Qin Wei's frown deepened.
Jiangnan Prefecture and Nanning Prefecture are both prefectures in Jiangzhou. Jiangzhou is the richest state in Dali, while Jiangnan Prefecture and Nanning Prefecture are also the two richest prefectures in Dali.
There is a saying among Dali people that "if Jiangzhou is cooked, the world will be satisfied".
It can be said that Jiangzhou is the most important granary in Dali. Forty percent of the annual grain tax for the court comes from Jiangzhou. Therefore, even though Qin Wei has never been to Jiangzhou, he still values Jiangzhou very much.
However, the two magistrates in Jiangzhou are constantly fighting. Today you will take part in my case, and tomorrow I will impeach you. You come and go, and he has seen several such memorials in the past half month.
“Why can’t the cabinet have unified opinions?”
Eunuch Lu whispered: "Luo Qin was born in the Luo family of Yuezhou, and Song Lin was born in the Song family of Sizhou."
When Qin Wei heard this, his eyes suddenly showed a hint of displeasure.
For officials in the court, there are the most local factions. There are Liangzhou faction, Jiangzhou faction, Sizhou faction, Yuezhou faction, etc. in Dali Chaotang.
Among them, the Liangzhou faction and the Jiangzhou faction are the most powerful. Even Luo Zheng and Wang Lu in the cabinet belong to these two local factions. The representatives of the Sizhou faction and the Yuezhou faction are Wu Liangzai, the Minister of Rites, and the Minister of Hubu, respectively.
Sun Wenjian.
In the past, under the suppression of Lao Lihuang, these factions in the court did not dare to show up. Now that he has just ascended the throne, these guys want to cause trouble?
"What's the official status of these two people?" Qin Wei asked.
"Both of them are relatively honest officials." Mr. Lu said impartially.
Qin Wei nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said: "Tell the chief minister whether you want them to go to Yuanzhou to be magistrates, or let them be adjacent to each other. I want to see if they still dare to fight!"
Judging from the memorials, these two men were pretty good officials, and the things they impeached each other were all trivial, and there were no major problems.
But it makes sense to think about it. Nanning Mansion and Jiangnan Mansion are both very important to the court. Since the old emperor placed them there, he naturally valued their abilities.
But Qin Wei did not intend to coddle them. The two prefects did not do business and quarreled every day, even in front of his eyes. If they did not deal with them, Qin Wei felt uncomfortable.
"Here!"
Eunuch Lu responded, then exited the study and walked towards the Wenhua Hall.
Qin Wei threw aside the memorial in his hand and took out another memorial.
Flood in Tianjing Mansion, Sizhou, please allocate food!
Qin Wei glanced at it and wrote the word "read".
Natural disasters like this come to Dali several times every year. When they are small, they affect a few counties, and when they are big, they affect most of the state. They are not serious.
In response to this, the court would allocate grain relief, and sometimes tax exemptions.
In this regard, Dali Chaotang has done a very good job and has a complete set of rules and regulations, so Qin Wei does not need to worry about it.
While Qin Wei was dealing with the memorial, there was a sudden commotion outside the study door.
"Your Majesty's great victory!"
"Your Majesty's great victory!"
A shout came from outside the door. Qin Wei looked up and saw Xiao Shunzi running in.
"Your Majesty, great victory!" Xiao Shunzi said with joy on his face.
Qin Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "Where did this great victory come from?"
"Immediate report from Yunyan City. Three days ago, Lord Zhu led an army to attack the Rong camp, killing more than 100,000 enemies and capturing tens of thousands. He also beheaded Wuhuan King Huheer and the Wuhuan High Priest Huge."
Shunzi handed a memorial to Qin Wei and said.
Qin Wei opened the memorial and glanced at it, not feeling much surprise.
A great victory on the northern border is a matter of course. With Li Xun personally in charge, 100,000 forbidden troops and hundreds of thousands of border troops, plus Beiyuan City, if we still can't win, that would be abnormal.
"good!"
"Send a copy to the cabinet and order the cabinet to spread it throughout the world."
Qin Wei chuckled and nodded.
Although there are no big surprises, this is a good start.
And now that he has just ascended the throne, the court and local government officials do not trust him as the new emperor. In addition, the border army is in crisis, and the court and local government offices are somewhat uneasy. Now with such a victory, at least he can let
People are at peace.
"Here!" Xiao Shunzi responded with a smile.
Qin Wei suddenly remembered something and said: "Go to Zhenwu Division and ask Lord Zhuge to come."
"Slave, go right away."
Xiao Shunzi then left the study at a trot.
About two-quarters of an hour later, Zhuge Zheng and I came to the imperial study room.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
"No courtesy, please sit down!" Qin Wei was still busy processing the memorial.
Zhuge Zheng and I didn't bother him and just sat on the chair next to him.
After Qin Wei finished processing the memorial in his hand, he raised his head and said, "I want you to step down from your position as commander of the Zhenwu Division."
"I obey your Majesty's arrangements." Zhuge Zhengwo said calmly.
"Oh, why don't you ask me what I want you to do?" Qin Wei said with a smile.
Zhuge Zhengwo also smiled and said: "I don't think your Majesty will let me take care of myself in old age."
Qin Wei laughed, "It's too early for you to take care of yourself now."
Zhuge Zheng and I are only in their forties now, so it is naturally impossible for them to take care of themselves in old age.
"I am going to let you go to the Yanwu Pavilion and serve as the martial arts master of the Yanwu Pavilion!" Qin Wei said.
"Isn't Wu Zheng Lord Zhuguo?" Zhuge Zheng was a little confused.
Wu Zheng is the chief officer of the Yanwu Pavilion, just like the sacrificial wine in the Imperial College. Li Xun has always been the chief official of the Yanwu Pavilion.
More than two years ago, when Qin Wei first established the Zhenwu Division and needed a large number of warriors, he focused on the Yanwu Pavilion. It was at that time that he went to Qingfu Mountain to visit Li Xun.
Nowadays, Li Xun still holds the concurrent position, but he still doesn't care about the Yanwu Pavilion.
"Just remove him from his post, he won't care about this." Qin Wei said casually.
Li Xun held many official positions, including Taibao, Youzhuguo, Zuodudu of the Central Military Command, and Yanwuge Wuzheng. Among these official positions, the lowest one was Yanwuge Wuzheng.
Then Qin Wei took out a document from under the desk and handed it to Zhuge Zhengwo.
"I am going to reform the Martial Arts Pavilion, you should take a look first."
Zhuge Zheng and I took the booklet and started reading it.
After reading it, Zhuge Zhengga couldn't help but look surprised.
"Your Majesty will promote the martial arts pavilion to the entire Dali!"
Qin Wei nodded and said, "That's right."
Needless to say, the importance of warriors to Dali. How to train warriors was the issue that Qin Wei considered the most during this period.
In fact, his idea is very simple, just refer to the system of Dali Academy.
There are state schools in prefectures, government schools in prefectures, county schools in counties, and the Imperial College in Kyoto.
This is Dali’s system for training Confucian students.
The same goes for the Martial Arts Pavilion. Let every county in Dali set up a Martial Arts Pavilion to collect martial arts geniuses from the people.
If it hadn't cost too much money, Qin Wei would have wanted to implement compulsory cultivation and provide a nine-year compulsory cultivation system for the people of Dali.
But after thinking about it, Qin Wei gave up.
This thing is not something that Dali can play right now. There are insufficient finances and insufficient resources. If it is enforced, it will only cause riots.
"But in this case, wouldn't the sect become more powerful?" Zhuge Zhengwo frowned slightly.
Qin Wei smiled, he understood what Zhuge Zhengwo meant.
Once the martial arts pavilion is implemented in prefectures and counties, the sect will lose the soil for survival.
Think about it, if you use the power of the imperial court to recruit talented warriors, will the sect still be able to recruit people?
If the Yanwu Pavilion is really implemented, within a few decades, the entire Dali sect will have to go out of business.
"Let them be called Yanwu Pavilion." Qin Wei said.
"Well!"
Zhuge Zheng and I were stunned for a moment, and then understood what they meant.
"What if they object?"
"Objection!" Qin Wei raised his eyebrows, "Are they qualified to object?"
Zhuge Zhengwo shook his head and chuckled, "They are indeed not qualified."
In the past, the court was unable to control the sect forces among the people, not only because those sect forces were very powerful, but also because the existence of the six holy places would contain the power of the court.
Now that the power of the Zhenwu Division has been established, all the sect forces in Dali are under the control of the Zhenwu Division.
As for the six holy places, the Shangyuan Sect has been destroyed, the Qiyuan Sect has surrendered to the Chaotang, Xiaoyao Island and Qingfeng Island have been beaten to half ashes, Beiyuan City is now in the honeymoon period with him and the Chaotang, and Nanmu City's
Their attitude is unclear, but their consciousness is unstoppable.
Nowadays, it is easy for the court to deal with the sect forces among the people. They will no longer be as fearful as before.
"Don't be too hasty at this time, I'll give you a year."
"Leave the Zhenwu Division to Tie Shou and let him cooperate with you when the time comes." Qin Wei said.
"I obey the order!" Zhuge Zhengwo responded.
…
News of the northern frontier army's great victory soon spread throughout Kyoto.
Although Qin Wei didn't care much about it, for the court and the people, this great victory was definitely something worth celebrating.
Dali has been prosperous for decades, and has also gone through the chaotic period in the old age of Emperor Laoli. During this period, one after another, major events have happened. Perhaps Dali has achieved victory, but to the common people, those victories
Very disturbing.
The rebellion in Nanyang City plunged countless people into war in the three southwest states of Dali. This was a plan planned by the old emperor for the Nightfall Organization, but it caused the people of the three southwest states to endure irreparable suffering.
Although the riots in the four major city guards lasted for a long time, they affected as many as one million people. Even many people in Kyoto were affected.
After Qin Wei ascended the throne, crises arose on the Dali border, and there was an atmosphere of panic and anxiety from the court to the people.
Now the great victory in the north was like a shot of heart-stimulating medicine, injected into the hearts of the court and the people, sweeping away all the panic and anxiety.
At the same time, Qin Wei, the new emperor, was recognized by the court officials and the people for the first time.
If the emperor wants to establish his power, he must establish meritorious deeds.
Emperor Lao Li can control the court powerfully because he has built countless achievements over the decades, allowing Dali to intimidate the outside world and enrich the country and the people internally. Therefore, he can overwhelm the ministers in the court, even if he is old.
, and no one dared to provoke.
Although Qin Wei, the emperor, did not contribute much to this great victory in the north, as long as he sat on the dragon throne, this achievement would be considered his share.
In any case, the great victory in the north greatly promoted Qin Wei's consolidation of imperial power.
And just as the people of Kyoto were sharing this joy, Zhao Gao also came to the border of Yuanzhou, and with him came hundreds of elite soldiers.
This time, almost all the nets were drawn. The mission was to destroy the alliance between the countries in the Western Region, interrupt the Fire Worship Court's plan to invade Dali, and eliminate some people who were a threat to Dali.
