Once the candidate for the chief minister of the cabinet is decided, the subsequent matters will be much easier to handle. Because many candidates need to be recommended by the chief minister of the cabinet, and the political meeting will discuss and judge. The lists of several assistant ministers of the cabinet were quickly finalized, Yang Xiu, Ma Qingshan
And two veteran ministers with high reputation were finally approved by the Council to become the four assistant ministers of the cabinet. Among them, Ma Qingshan's identity is actually the most controversial. Some people used the fact that he did not participate in the imperial examination and had no fame as an objection to him.
The reason for serving as an assistant minister in the cabinet was of course refuted by Lin Jue. These people still use the imperial examination merit as the criterion for judgment, which obviously violates the principle of emphasizing both civil and military affairs and applying the ability according to their ability proposed by Lin Jue. These people obviously still hold the view that
They persisted in adhering to the old rules and thought inertia that it was only natural that they should manage court affairs through civil servants who had passed the imperial examination.
Lin Jue told everyone that Ma Qingshan joined the army, and his fame came from the battlefield. Studying and taking scientific examinations is one way, killing enemies and making meritorious deeds is another way. Both of these paths are for the Great Zhou Dynasty, regardless of the difference.
No matter high or low, everyone has the same qualifications. After the Zhou Dynasty experienced such a catastrophe, it was obviously a stupid move to still cling to the idea of valuing civility over military affairs.
When it came to selecting the chairman of the Political Council, most people originally chose Lin Jue to concurrently hold this position. But this time Lin Jue really refused. On the one hand, the Council exists as the highest authority and supervisory body. If he concurrently serves as the cabinet,
If you hold the position of Speaker, that would go against the original intention of the reform. It would give people a sense that they are supervising themselves and stealing from themselves. On the other hand, this will also set an extremely bad precedent. If someone follows suit in the future, it will be a disaster.
This will create a situation of dominating the political agenda. Although the chairman of the political council is not a position of real power, he is influential after all and will subtly influence the decision-making of the political council.
Lin Jue thought for a long time and decided to recommend Chen Zhiliang, Yuan Xiandao and an old minister named Liu Shizhong to serve as the positions of Speaker and Deputy Speaker. This not only took care of the established clan forces behind Chen Zhiliang, Yuan Xiandao and others, but also kept Chen Zhiliang and Yuan Xiandao away from the cabinet and supervision.
It is better for this group of old guys to stay in the Council and argue with a large group of council officials. Lin Jue even made a small plan. If Chen Zhiliang is elected as the Speaker, then he will
It is recommended that Yuan Xiandao be the standing officer of the political council. In this case, Chen Zhiliang and Yuan Xiandao will each have their own hilltops, and there will be disputes in the long run. In that case, they will be more comfortable.
Sure enough, Lin Jue's choice made Chen Zhiliang, Yuan Xiandao and others very happy. In the end, Chen Zhiliang became the best candidate for speaker. Chen Zhiliang is a competent candidate as speaker. After all, he has wide connections and high moral standing. For everyone in the large parliament,
, there must be such a person to control the situation. Yuan Xiandao and two local road transfer envoys became the deputy speaker. Yuan Xiandao was fully recommended by Lin Jue to become the standing officer, which gave him some comfort after failing to be elected as the speaker.
As for the candidate for the chief supervisory minister of the Supervisory Yuan, Lin Jue must not be left out. He has the best choice, and that is Ma Bin. In the final analysis, Xuanyiwei is the intelligence agency within the Luoyan Army established by Ma Bin.
There is no legality. If you still act in the same way as before, you will be criticized. However, the Xuanyiwei intelligence system established by Ma Bin is an asset that Lin Jue will never give up.
Source, this is not only a way to spy on intelligence, but also a convenient courier system for delivering messages. This is definitely a very useful system, and it can also allow Lin Jue to know the inside story of most things. Xuanyi Wei wants to
If you want to exist, you need to legalize it and use the resources of the court to expand. The establishment of the Supervisory Yuan can effectively integrate the Xuanyi Guards into the supervisory system. After that, some actions of the Xuanyi Guards were covered with legal cloaks and became
It's only natural.
Of course, all of Lin Jue's considerations are not to destroy the centralized rule and balance of power structure he created. However, there are many things to be done after this, and the knives will be very big. Lin Jue does not want to be trapped in a cocoon.
Being constrained by the structure you created, and becoming helpless and unable to achieve anything. Isn't that a joke in the world?
To put it bluntly: Dominate Chao Gang and cover the sky with one hand? I, Lin Jue, can do it, but others cannot. This is not greed for power or selfishness, but to facilitate the advancement of my next actions. Moreover,
Only Lin Jue himself knew that he would not mess things up. After all, his identity and knowledge were completely different from theirs. As for others, Lin Jue did not dare to predict what they would do after they took power.
Lin Jue served as the chief minister of the cabinet, with four auxiliary ministers under his jurisdiction. Most of the ten officials under his jurisdiction were from the Luoyan Army. Important ones, such as the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of War, were all held by people close to Lin Jue.
Lin Jue, the military power, must be firmly in his hands. Originally, Lin Jue, the head of the Ministry of War, preferred Shen Tan, but Shen Tan seemed to have some considerations and refused to take up this position. In the end, Lin Jue recommended Liang Qi, letting Shen Tan
Assumed the post of head of the Ministry of Punishment. After Liang Qi's appointment was approved, he became the first person in the history of the Zhou Dynasty who was born a bandit but became the head of the imperial military department. This made Liang Qi extremely happy and sighed.
Originally, Lin Jue's idea was to establish a yamen dedicated to military affairs, such as keeping the structure of the Privy Council unchanged. But in this way, he would have to serve as the Privy Council envoy in order to legitimately control the military power. But in this way, the organization would be incompatible with the general administration.
There was overlap like before Zhou Dynasty, and it would be too obvious for him to serve as the privy envoy. In view of this, Lin Juecai placed the military power under the control of the military department. In this case, the military power was under the cabinet, which was equivalent to direct control by himself. So
This actually caused dissatisfaction among Chen Zhiliang and others, but Lin Jue gave an explanation. Although the cabinet is in charge of the military, major military matters need to be approved by the political council, and the military is not used at will. The "military rules" that need to be formulated in the future will also be constrained.
There is no need to make a fuss about the behavior of the army. Chen Zhiliang found it quite reasonable after hearing this. After all, the Council is the highest authority and has the power to decide on major affairs. The appointment and dismissal of the chief minister of the cabinet is in the hands of the Council, and naturally, together with all his
All powers are under the jurisdiction of the Council. If Lin Jue uses troops in violation of regulations, the Council will remove him from the position of chief, which is equivalent to depriving him of his military power.
The reason why Chen Zhiliang thinks so is because he believes that the thousands of people in the Council have included all the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No matter how powerful Lin Jue is, he would not dare to be an enemy of the world. This is actually why Chen Zhiliang, Yuan Xiandao and others believe that the Council
A basic understanding that a great deal will be achieved. If they did not have this understanding, they would never support or believe in the unheard-of thing of the political council.
.
After three days of intensive recommendation, discussion and voting, the staff structure was basically completed. Although it could not be said to be exactly what Lin Jue wanted, Lin Jue knew that some concessions had to be made, otherwise the show would not be able to continue. It must be
To give everyone a feeling of respecting the decision of the political council, some inconsequential concessions must be made. However, Lin Jue will never be ambiguous about major matters and the appointment and dismissal of personnel. And Lin Jue's concessions actually also give the political officials a sense of respect.
Injecting a great motivation. They found that the decision of the Council could really make Lin Jue obey, and they further believed that the Council was really a power institution that could make Lin Jue bow his head. They became more and more convinced of the Council system.
Believe it or not.
After the personnel are finalized, the more arduous process of legislation begins. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty originally had laws, this time the legislation is obviously different. Although the existing laws can be used for reference, most of them need to be re-considered and drafted.
Some even need to be pushed back to the beginning. This process is tedious and brain-consuming. This is why the people on the street saw that the officials who were riding in black carriages, riding tall horses, and wearing bright clothes became unkempt.
It's slovenly and even a little bit neurotic. The legislative process is simply too tedious.
In order to speed up the progress, after the "General Laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty" was passed, the political meeting was divided into more than a dozen groups to formulate and discuss various provisions, and finally finalized and finalized them in a unified manner. Since this is what everyone needs to follow in the future.
Law, so most people understand its importance and dare not take it lightly. Lin Jue even personally participated in the entire process, day and night. In this matter, Lin Jue knew that he must be comprehensive and cautious. Because it will involve
The billions of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty must not be trifled with. If we want to get close to the goal of governing the country by law, the law itself needs to be comprehensive, accurate and in line with the current situation. The consequences of bad laws are nothing more than chaos.
Those local military and political officials who came from afar never expected that they would stay in the capital for several months. It was still the hot summer when they came, and after all the important affairs were completed, it was already late autumn, and it was almost time to
It's winter.
The efforts of thousands of people from top to bottom finally completed the establishment and formulation of all institutions and laws before winter. For everyone involved, this is also a process of transformation, self-sublimation and learning. Because of the participation in the law
Every official has a deep understanding of all aspects of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. This is a unique experience and learning process for these local officials. This allows them to have a deep understanding of the country called the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Gaining a deeper understanding also cultivates their overall view of the world. For most officials, this is enough to change and influence their future lives.
On the ninth day of October, the day of the Beginning of Winter, Lin Jue attended the closing meeting of the Council for the first time as the Chief Minister of the Cabinet. On that day, dozens of imperial edicts were issued at the same time, announcing to the world. It was announced that the system of two governments and three departments in the Great Zhou Dynasty would be ended, and government affairs would be discussed by the cabinet.
The Council of Supervisors was established for a new governance structure. All previous laws were abolished and the "General Laws of the Great Zhou" and twenty-six branches of various laws were promulgated. The imperial edict for personnel appointments was also issued to the world at the same time.
The world was shaken by it, and all the people were shocked. People didn't know what this meant, but they all understood one thing, that is, a new era was coming.
