Otherworldly Castle Era

Chapter 230 At the end of the ceremony

After the military parade, the army will leave Suzaku Avenue in an orderly manner, enter the military camp outside the city of Zhongjing, and return to their respective garrisons in a few days.

The Habayashi army also returned to the barracks not far east of the palace and returned to their respective posts, while Jin Yiwei returned to the palace to continue performing his own mission.

After the military parade, for ordinary people, the ceremony is over. For the invited outstanding officials, industry representatives, honorees…, there will be a dinner party waiting for them in the evening.

But for Yang Song and the important ministers in the palace, this ceremony is just over half of the ceremony, and the remaining half is the real highlight for them!

Yang Song and his party returned from the Suzaku Gate to the Yeejeongjeon Hall in the center of the imperial palace. It was where Yang Song held the court meeting. There was a small square in front of Yeejeongjeon. Both sides were the offices of various departments.

There is a smaller palace behind the Yeejeongjeon Hall. It was used as a place where Yang Song met, discussed, and dispatched some officials except for the court meeting. It was equivalent to a smaller conference room.

Further north, the inner court is separated by an inner wall, which is Yang Song’s residence, where Yang Song’s partner and children live.

The inner court of the palace occupies nearly half of the area, gardens, pavilions, water pavilions, pavilions… everything.

After passing the inner court, heading to the north is the square where the Temple of Heaven and Earth is located, and further north is the Xuanwu Gate of the imperial palace…

At this time, Yang Song seated on the dragon chair in the Hall of Evidence. After seeing the officials in the hall, he said: “I am proclaiming the emperor today, and the country of Xia has entered a new era. I and the monarchs should encourage each other!”

“Follow your majesty’s will !”

After Yang Song finished his opening remarks, he went to the main topic without delay: “I will become the emperor, and the Xia country has also become the Great Xia Empire. The establishment of the court’s institutions will also be changed.”

“The previous ‘divisions’ were not sufficient for today’s Xia State.” Yang Song went on to preach: “According to the usual practice, every ‘division’ should also go up and up and become the ‘ministers’.”

“However, I think there should be a level above the’Ministry’ level.” Yang Song said this and stopped for a while. Seeing that all the ministers were listening attentively, he went on to preach: “I will take this level. Call it a “court”.”

After saying this, Yang Song did not wait for the response of the ministers, and directly stated in the form of an order that he had already thought up: “The administrative department was upgraded to the’Government Pavilion’, with nine departments under the jurisdiction of the administrative department. The Ninth Hall under the Division was upgraded.”

“The Military Department was also upgraded to the’Military Pavilion’, and the various ministries under its jurisdiction were also upgraded from the original departments…” Yang Song reiterated the establishment of the various departments.

Regarding the establishment of various departments and their powers after Yang Song became emperor, Yang Song had actually confessed to important officials such as Liu Ji and Li Jing before the ceremony, and now it is nothing more than a formality.

“…The responsibilities of the government pavilion, military pavilion, finance pavilion, and court pavilion are the same as before, except that their specifications are two levels higher.” Yang Song said that until now, he was talking about the original departments. There are still some changes, otherwise he wouldn’t mention it in such detail.

What has changed is the establishment of a new “Strategic Department” in the Military Pavilion, and the original “Military Hall” has been upgraded to the “Military Service Department.” The Finance Cabinet has become the three departments of “Finance, Taxation, and Finance”, which are responsible for finance, taxation and finance respectively.

In addition, in addition to the “Xuanzhengyuan, Taiyuan University, Taiyuan Hospital, and Science and Technology Institute” under the courtyard, a new “Tianxingyuan” was established to be responsible for the development and management of national sports. Self-improvement”!

Probably only the cabinet in charge of administration remains unchanged.

Next, Yang Song will say something completely different: “The Department of Justice and the Department of Intelligence have been upgraded to ministries. Under the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Court is responsible for trials, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for prosecution and supervision.”

“The Intelligence Department was changed to the Ministry of National Security, under its jurisdiction is the Department of Security, which is responsible for coordinating the intelligence of various ministries, the Department of National Security which is responsible for domestic intelligence, and the Department of Foreign Affairs which is responsible for foreign intelligence.”

Regardless of Chen Ping and Song Ci’s expressions, Yang Song continued to preach: “The Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was originally responsible for state-owned assets, national honors, and our industry, has now been upgraded to a cabinet. Honourable Fengchang Mansion for management.”

When Yang uttered the word “Xungui” from Yang Song, the expressions of the Manchu Civil and Martial Arts changed. Although they were trying to restrain themselves, their faces were overflowing with excitement and expectations, but they couldn’t hide them. living.

Yang Song had long anticipated this. Instead of going to the ministers, he instructed himself: “In addition, there are the internal government responsible for the management of state-owned assets, enterprises, and institutions, as well as the management of royal family and clan affairs. Emperor Neiku’s Zongzheng Mansion.”

“Finally, the newly established Hanlin Court and Privy Council, like the other pavilions and ministries, are directly responsible to me.” After Yang Song finished talking about the original, he immediately talked about the newly established department.

“The Hanlin Academy is our consulting agency, and it is also a place for high-level talents. In the future, if a local official or a member of the ranks wants to enter the court as an official, he must first enter the Hanlin Academy after an internship.”

Yang Song’s words can be said to be plain and clear, and it also gave the ministers of the DPRK and the central government a clear position on the newly established imperial academy.

“The Hanlin Academy is headed by Liu Ji as the chief bachelor.” Before appointing the officials of the other departments, Yang Song first appointed the head of the Hanlin Academy, which shows that Yang Song values ​​this department.

“And the Privy Council is an organization responsible for my handling of political affairs, issuing my edicts, passing memorials and memorials for review.” Then Yang Song explained the role of the Privy Council again, and its importance need not be lower than that of other departments.

“The Privy Council is composed of the chief officials of the political cabinet, the financial cabinet, and the court cabinet. It is conducted in the form of a meeting. This institution is a permanent assembly and does not have official positions.”

Regarding the Privy Council Yang Song hadn’t planned to set up this department, but he later thought that the system should be set up earlier.

For Yang Song, this auxiliary organization is just a little tired without him. With him, it is easy to work together. As for the auxiliary function, it is not very obvious.

But then? What about Yang Song’s successor? If it is a mediocre generation, then the establishment of this institution is a perfect solution, but the power of the important ministers in the DPRK will be relatively greater.

For this reason, Yang Song did not set up a special official position for the Privy Council, but has evolved from the “parliament” he learned in another world. It can be regarded as an institutional restriction on the power of officials.

Because Yang Song has carried out a major split of the entire power system of Xia State, and dismantled administrative power, judicial power, financial power, legislative power, important personnel power, and military power.

Under this circumstance, all these powers must be exchanged, negotiated, and acted with the emperor Yang Song as the center. The emperor Yang Song is the center of the entire circle.

If the center of this circle is capable, it can bring together the surrounding power departments to form a solid whole.

If the central point of this circle does not have enough power, then it is a dish of loose sand, which will be unusable.

Therefore, the Privy Council was established to prevent scattered sand.

That is, a slightly larger circle is placed on the jacket at the center of the circle, and this circle is not to worry about subjective factors.

Even after a few years, the worst result would be nothing more than a “constitutional monarchy”, and the Privy Council was transformed into a “cabinet”.

The last is the appointment of personnel in various departments.
