On the twelfth day of the first lunar month of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhao Ziliang convened a military and political meeting with officials and generals from the military and political aspects of the Western Qin Dynasty at the Western Qin Jiedushi Mansion.
The originally deserted Western Qin Jiedushi Mansion suddenly became lively.
Since Zhao Ziliang led his army back to the Central Plains to suppress the rebellion, the Jiedushi Mansion has no longer been in office, but has been used as the residence of Zhao Ziliang's family.
On weekdays, in addition to greeting Chen Qingqing, Nie Sanniang, and Zhao Ziliang's children, officials Normally they would not be disturbed, so the Jiedushi Mansion had always been deserted, but the convening of this military-government meeting caused the Jiedushi Mansion to change instantly.
The officials and generals in the lobby were greeting each other and chatting with each other.
It was very lively.
Some people were discussing the main topics of the military and political conference.
Many people had set out ten days ago and just arrived here now.
Judging from the text of the notice, Judging from the content, this military and political meeting Regarding future changes in the political situation and military system of Western Qin, some people are even worried that there will be major political turmoil.
After all, Zhao Ziliang has not been around for so many years, and they are worried that he will not be able to control the situation, so he will have to replace a group of people.
There is such speculation.
There are not a few people.
"The king has arrived," a shout came, and Zhao Ziliang walked out from behind the screen wearing a royal robe, a golden crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and cloud boots on his feet.
The title of King of Western Qin is not just an ordinary prince or vassal king.
It is a real king of various lands.
He is the highest ruler of Western Qin.
He can open a government office and appoint officials on his own.
In addition, Zhao Ziliang has the ability to conquer the Western Qin Dynasty.
The title of general, Western Qin There is no need to ask the Tang Dynasty for permission to conquer on its own.
Although Xuanzong's imperial edict did not explicitly say that Western Qin can establish its own country, everyone knows that Western Qin has become its own country, but it is still under the jurisdiction of the Tang Empire in name only. .
The officials and generals stood on both sides, clasping their fists and cupping their hands, bowing and shouting together: "Welcome to your Majesty, Thousand Years Old, Thousand Thousand Years Old."
Zhao Ziliang walked over and said, "I always feel awkward hearing this."
"Hahaha" Everyone was an outsider.
When they heard Zhao Ziliang say this, they couldn't help laughing.
"In the future, don't call me a thousand years old.
If I really live to be a thousand years old, I'm afraid some people will say that I am too old to die."
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he sat down on the throne, clasped his hands and said, "No need to be polite."
The officials all stood back to their original positions.
The lobby of the Jiedushi Mansion was not very large.
There were many people coming this time and there was not enough room for so many chairs.
Once the chairs were placed, it would be inconvenient to move around and play things.
Therefore, the officials and The generals all stood.
Zhao Ziliang looked at everyone and said: "I have come here for three main things this time.
The most important thing is of course the establishment of a government office.
Since I have been canonized as the King of Western Qin by the late emperor, the palace is also under construction.
The matter of opening a government office and building a government office must also be started.
Well, after the opening of the government and the establishment of the government office are completed, the Western Qin Jiedu Envoy Office will only retain its name and not have the ability to perform military and political functions.
In the future, all military and political affairs of the Western Qin will be under the Western Qin royal court.
Cen Shen, you are here Let me briefly explain to you the charter and structure of establishing a government office."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Cen Shen agreed, took out a book, stood up, opened it, and said to everyone: "Suppose the Royal Court is the highest governing body of the Western Qin Dynasty, and the head of the Royal Court is the King of Western Qin who was canonized by the Emperor of the Tang Empire, that is, The King set up the Royal Court Secretariat to assist the King in handling military and political documents and seals; under the Royal Court, he set up the Government Affairs Council to handle the affairs of the Western Qin Dynasty.
The Military Academy was set up to handle the military affairs of the Western Qin Dynasty, the Judicial Temple was set up to handle judicial prisons, the Jinyi Guards were set up to deal with officials' violations of laws and disciplines, and the Great Protectorate was set up to handle the affairs of the tribes in various places.
These two academies, one temple, one guard, and one government They are not subordinate to each other, but each is responsible for their own responsibilities.
These are the five highest functional yamen under the royal court.
If you have any questions, you can raise them, and the officials will answer them on the spot."

Liu Tiao stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Master Cen, since ancient times, the judicial and prison matters have been handled by local officials.
How can we separate the judicial and prison matters alone?"
Cen Shen said: "According to the king's intention, this is to reduce the burden of the main officials in various places.
The main administrative officials in various places have to manage both political affairs and judgments and prisons.
It is too tiring.
In the future, county magistrates and prefects in various places will only be responsible for their local areas."
Just government affairs, there is no need to worry about judicial sentencing and prison sentences.
This matter is handled by the Judicial Temple.
If there are cases and lawsuits in various places, local administrative officials are not allowed to interfere.
Are you still confused?"
"This means that if a murder or other case occurs, the Judiciary Temple will be responsible for investigating and judging the case."
Cen Shen shook his head and said: "It's not because our laws in the Western Qin Dynasty adopt the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
The Judicial Temple is only responsible for trials and prisons, while investigation, investigation, arrests, interrogation of prisoners, search for evidence, and local security are all handled by the local county or government offices.
Do you have any other questions about the person in charge of the patrol room below?"
No one said anything, everyone understood that the sentencing and prison sentences were separated from the local government, and only the police were still in the hands of local officials.
Cen Shen continued: "The Government Affairs Council has the prime minister and the junior minister as its chief officials.
The prime minister has an overview of the government affairs of the Western Qin Dynasty, and the junior ministers assist him.
Under it are the household secretary, the ritual secretary, the industrial secretary, the official secretary, the commercial secretary, etc."
"The Military Academy has a Marshal of Soldiers and Horses, and the Marshal of Soldiers and Horses is appointed by the king.
He is in charge of all the soldiers and horses of the Western Qin Dynasty.
It consists of the General Affairs Department, the Operations Department, the Training Department, the Equipment and Logistics Department, the Military Law Department, the Resettlement and Pensions Department, and the Eastern and Western Qin Dynasty.
Factory, West Factory, etc.”
"The Judiciary Temple has one chief prisoner and four deputy prisoners, and it consists of the Criminal Department, the Civil Affairs Department, the Prison Department, the Judgment Department, the Complaints Department, etc."
"The Jinyi Guards have one commander and two deputy envoys, and under them are the North Yamen, the South Yamen and the Neiwei.
The North Yamen oversees impeachments, the South Yamen oversees arrests and interrogations, and the Neiwei oversees rebellions."
"The Great Protectorate has a Protector-General, who is personally served by the King.
Under him are the Department of Fan Clan Affairs, the Department of Fan Clan Soldiers and Horses, the Department of Clan and Religion, etc."
After Cen Shen finished reading, he looked at everyone and said: "This is the main administrative and law enforcement agency of the Royal Court Center.
The lower subdivisions need to be further improved after the chief officer takes office."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Is there anything you don't understand?"
An official asked: "Your Majesty, since there is a Judicial Temple responsible for judicial prisons and trials, why do we need to set up Jinyi Guards?
Isn't this a duplication of functions?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "The patrols are set up for the common people and gentry, while the Jinyiwei is set up for officials and nobles.
Moreover, these two yamen have no judicial power, only investigation and evidence collection, arrest and interrogation power."
Someone else said: "Your Majesty, the Judicial Temple and the Jinyiwei have too much power.
They are law enforcement agencies.
If no one supervises them, then they can arrest whoever they want and interrogate whoever they want.
If you decide whatever you want, won't it endanger everyone in the officialdom?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "Of course not.
The powers of the Jinyiwei are internally constrained.
The North Yamen supervises impeachment but has no power to arrest and interrogate.
The South Yamen cannot arrest or interrogate without an arrest warrant from the commander.
The main responsibility of the inner guards is to deal with The hostility is detailed; the trials in the Judiciary Temple require the laws of the Tang Dynasty as the basis for law enforcement.
How can they be arbitrarily judged?
Of course, there may be people who dare to enforce the law and break the law, ignore the laws and regulations, and act indiscriminately.

So, let’s set up another one under my king.
One guard , named Huwei, the level of Huwei is the same as that of Jinyiwei.
Any official can report law enforcement violations to Huwei Yamen.
When reporting, there must be real evidence.
Whether it is Jinyiwei or the patrol room, when enforcing the law, there must be real evidence before arrests can be made.
If there is no conclusive evidence but there is strong suspicion, the person can be temporarily detained for twenty-four hours to facilitate the investigators to search for evidence.
However, if no evidence is found after twenty-four hours, the person must be released."
Another official asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the East and West factories of the Military Academy are and what their functions are."
Zhao Ziliang said: "The East Factory is responsible for detecting the enemy's situation against the enemy country, and the West Factory is equivalent to the internal guard in the army."
Since the establishment of Longwei, Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Xichang, their respective functions have become disgraceful and frightening.
"Does anyone else have any doubts?"
Zhao Ziliang asked.
Seeing that no one came out to ask again, he waved to Cen Shen and said: "Announce the list of various institutions in the Wangting Center."
"Yes, Your Majesty" After Cen Shen agreed, he took out another folding book.
Everyone looked nervously at the folding book in Cen Shen's hand.
What was written on it was related to their future official career.
"Secretary and Chief Supervisor of the Royal Court: Cen Shen" "Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council: Liu Tiao; Secondary Prime Minister: Dugu Wensu; Officials" "Military Aircraft Academy, General Deputy Commander Chu Ge, Operations Department Deputy Commander Li Siye, Training Department Deputy Commander Chen Qing, Equipment and Logistics Department Deputy Commander Zheng San, Resettlement and Pensions Department Wang Zhen, Military Justice Department Gong Ren, Dongchang Deputy Commander Wang Can, Xuan Shiba, deputy commander of the West Factory" "Chief Supervisor of Judicial Temple: Dugujun; Deputy Supervisors: Huangfu Xian and Du Fu" "Commander of Jin Yiwei: Gao Shang; deputy envoy: Zhao Zishan" "Zhang Jin, the doctor of the Fan Clan Affairs Department of the Great Protectorate, Yao Bingyan, the doctor of the Fan Clan Soldiers and Horses Department, and Wang Ximing, the doctor of the Clan and Religion Department" The name of the agency yamen has been changed, as have the organizational charter and structure.
Many people have been transferred to yamen that they have never been involved in.
However, no one among the senior officials has lost their official position, and these transferred people have not been demoted. promotion.
Zhao Ziliang said to everyone: "In general, the chief officers and adjutants of the central Yamen of Wangting are like this.
There have not been many changes, but the composition and responsibilities of the Yamen have been different.
Therefore, I hope that you will complete the establishment of the Yamen you are responsible for as soon as possible.
The officials below will basically use the previous officials.
If there are insufficient parts, they can be transferred to various places.
Are there any questions?"
Everyone clasped their fists and said, "I have no objections."
Zhao Ziliang nodded when he saw this and said: "Okay, I would like to know the population, finance, land area, military strength, mines, etc. of our Western Qin in recent years.
Mr.
Liu Tiao, can you give me a detailed report?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Liu Tiao stood up and said with cupped hands: "Our tax in Western Qin five years ago was 4 million guan, and last year it was 9 million guan.
The total population is more than 7,425,400 Han people.
The Sogdians account for 3.83 million, the Tocharians account for 1.38 million, and the others each account for hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands
