Out of the cabinet, Zhang Chao rode to the palace.
During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin named the emperor Ziwei Palace, and changed it to the Forbidden Palace after Chengqian succeeded to the throne.
The Forbidden Palace is located in the north of the imperial city, there is a clamp city in the west, there is an east city in the east, there is a round wall in the north, the important city of Yaoyi, the whole palace is in the north of the imperial city, and it is divided into the north palace Changle Palace, the East Palace Prince's Mansion and the Forbidden Palace.
The whole palace city is convex, the city wall is four zhang eight feet high, the width is more than five zhang, the rammed layer is three inches thick, and the inside and outside are covered with bricks.
Compared with the Taiji Palace in Chang'an, it is greatly surpassed in terms of courage and defense.
The sandwich city, the east city, the round wall, and the Yaoyi city around the palace city are actually the places where the forbidden army guards and garrisons.
Today, those stationed outside the palace are all brought by Zhang Chao from the south.
"Anguo Zhao Wang" When the guards saw him coming, they came forward and saluted.
Zhang Chao nodded, took out his pass waist card, and the guards routinely checked it, and then let him go.
He did not dismount and rode directly into the palace.
As the prime minister of the dynasty, the prince, and the prince's teacher and father-in-law, Zhang Chao received a special order from the emperor to ride a horse in the palace.
The emperor even gave Zhang Chao a special purpose to bring a sword to the court and praise the unknown.
It's just that Zhang Chao doesn't really bring a sword to the court.
However, the palace was very large, and it was a waste of time to walk, and he didn't like to sit on a chariot, so he rode into the palace.
The Imperial Study.
Zhang Chao presented the list of the cabinet's feudal territories and the fiefdom plan to Cheng Qian.
In the imperial study, on the side of the hall, are Ma Zhou and other scholars.
There are two bachelors and seven bachelors, which is comparable to the cabinet setting.
These people, headed by Ma Zhou, were the emperor's working secretaries, responsible for preparing the emperor's consultation and ghostwriting for approval.
The duties are similar to those of the free-riders of the past, but the authority and responsibilities are higher.
The list of conferral titles is very long, with 20 feudal kings headed by Zhang Chao in front, more than 100 princes in the back, and more than 1,000 princes and princes.
Up to now, Datang has awarded nearly 5,000 knights, which can be said to be a bit indiscriminate.
But the fiefdom is strictly controlled outside the Central Plains, and many are even directly sealed on other people's territory, such as the Golden Peninsula where the eldest princess was enclosed this time, and Luzon and Boni that Zhang Chao sealed, that land is not a terra nullius, it is also a master.
It is not heart-wrenching to be generous to others.
This is also a precedent opened from his father, the first is to use the Goguryeo people's Liaodong to divide the heroes, and now, the court has punished the feud, regardless of whether he has a lord or not.
"The crown prince Taibao only expanded the seal a little bit on the original fief this time, and I don't think it's appropriate."
Cheng Qian pointed to the expansion seal of Zhang Tiegun, the king of Liaoxi County, and said, "The prince Taibao has worked hard and deserves to be rewarded." ” Cheng Qian asked Zhang Chao to choose a fief for his father Zhang Tiegun.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, and the minister will choose Heling Island."
Heling is the name of a country on the island of Java.
From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains called Java as Heluodan, and there were also called Yevati, and it was called Heling in the Tang Dynasty.
A few years ago, he once sent an envoy to the court, sent a few parrots and sent a few monks.
Because there were too few gifts, Li Shimin didn't even look down on them.
In fact, this Heling is only a small country, occupying only a small part of Java, and they themselves don't know how big Java is.
Although Cheng Qian had also been to Lingnan, he only knew that this tomb was in the south of Boni and in the southeast of the Golden Peninsula according to the map drawn by Zhang Chao.
Anyway, it is very far away from Datang, although there are many indigenous states on this island, but anyway, it is to reward the heroes with other people's land, especially this is Zhang Chao's own choice, of course Cheng Qian has no opinion.
Li Ji's fief was also changed, and it was changed to the south of Zhang Chao's Zhao Guoling in the northwest of Jiaozhou, located south of the Majiang River, which is still the territory of the Zhenla people.
The fiefdom was very large, and it was directly given 600 li.
But that place, the high mountains, is much worse than Zhang Chao's piece of Zhao Guoling.
At least Zhang Chao still has several big rivers there, and Li Ji's new fief is full of mountains.
Cheng Qian was very happy with this change, and he didn't have a good impression of Li Jike.
Zhang Chao proposed to let Li Ji serve as the secretary of the military department after he returned, and he was originally very dissatisfied.
It's good to change Li Ji's fief from Mo Nan to Zhenla.
The fiefs of the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling are very good, one has been changed to Li Tai's Yili River Valley, and the other has been changed to Li Zhi's Broken Leaf River Valley, the land is fertile, the water and grass are abundant, especially located on the Silk Road, a good place, and the fief is also large.
Ma Zhou's fief is close to Zhang Chao's Dawan Valley, in the Nami River Valley of Kanggu.
"Merit is rewarded, this is the foundation of my Tang Dynasty, very good, I am accurate."

Zhang Chao's reward this time means that everyone is happy.
Thousands of people were knighted or crowned, and other nobles also increased the area of their fiefs to a greater or lesser extent.
For the imperial court, it is all on the four sides of the Central Plains anyway, and even directly on other people's territory.
Whether it is a feudal prince or a feudal county marquis, the imperial court does not need to give these nobles a fortune.
On the contrary, for each additional fief, the princes would later manage the territory, and the court would take half of the taxes generated.
The more princes, the more fiefs, the more fiefs, the more the territory of the imperial court expands, and the more taxes are increased, no matter how you look at it, it will do more harm than good.
Cheng Qian has also always supported the theory of colonial expansion advocated by Zhang Chao.
Fighting for more living space for the Han family, he agrees with this statement, anyway, for the Tang Empire, it is harmful and unprofitable.
"Your Majesty, the number of hereditary nobles and fictitious lifetime nobles in the empire is quite large, as many as more than eight thousand.
The minister thought that the current qualification system for members of the upper house of parliament was not suitable, and the minister requested the establishment of a local provincial first-class noble house.
The members of the upper house of the imperial court are elected by each province, so that the number of members of the upper house of the imperial court is controlled within 1,000, which is more appropriate.
Otherwise, there are too many of the more than 8,000 members of the upper house, and they will not be able to really discuss matters. ” The Tang Dynasty is indeed suspected of indiscriminate knighthood now, entirely because of the current title, the court does not use it for Yulu, and secondly, it cannot shadow the descendants of the emperor, so the court has no worries at all.
It is very easy for meritorious heroes to obtain real knighthoods, and even meritorious people can be transferred to sons.
And most high-ranking officials can also be awarded a fictitious lifelong title based on their qualifications, such as the prime minister of the imperial court, if the prince will directly fictitiously seal a national duke, the court's Shangshu, at least a fictitious county marquis, the Taoist Xuanfu envoy, the general of Zhuwei, must be fictitious a county uncle.
Aristocrats are indeed not rare now, especially in the capital, which is really everywhere.
Zhang Chao's family has a prince, a county king, two princes, and a bunch of county princes.
This is also Zhang Chao's intention to guide, making the court feel as if the title is beneficial and not expensive.
This is Zhang Chao's move, which will not have much impact in the short term, but it will have a great impact later.
"This one does."
Cheng Qian turned his head to Ma Zhou and said, "Dean Ma, you and the scholars will help me draw up a constitution for the Dao Council. ” The Hanlin Academy is for the emperor's consultation and can be regarded as a military think tank.
The real governance was the cabinet, but Ma Zhou and they gave advice to the emperor.
How to do the two-level parliament must be proposed by the cabinet, but in the end it is not adopted, or whether it is appropriate or not, this must first pass through Ma Zhou's suggestion, and have a further understanding before making a final decision, which is also the embodiment of the role of the Hanlin Academy.
"Motosuke."
Cheng Qian said to Zhang Chao with a smile, "The cabinet has also begun to operate, and I heard that the cabinet has not yet had a clear division of labor."
The cabinet ministers do not hold other positions, which is the basic system that has been established from the beginning, but the cabinet, as the prime minister, must reflect the functions and powers of the cabinet, which must be reflected by being in charge of the temples.
The eldest grandson Wuji is now playing to the emperor, saying that Zhang Chao is in the cabinet to make a statement, dictatorial power, and monopoly of power.
Of course, Cheng Qian didn't want this situation to happen, he relied on Zhang Chao, but he didn't want to be overtaken by Zhang Chao.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the minister has been thinking about the division of labor in this cabinet for the past few days, and now it has basically been decided.
The minister presides over the cabinet and is in charge of the center, and the minister, in addition to personnel, finance, auditing, and auditing, is also personally outlined.
The second minister, Fang Xuanling, is responsible for the standing work of the cabinet, as well as the people's livelihood economy, taxation and finance, and also assists the minister in charge of finance and taxation, supervision and auditing. ” Hearing Zhang Chao say this, Cheng Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the eldest grandson Wuji has wronged Zhang Chao, and he does not intend to monopolize the power of the cabinet all the time.
It is a good thing to be willing to divide the work, so that the cabinet is the real cabinet.
"The other seven group assistants, the minister's idea is that one group assistant corresponds to one of the six departments, and one group assistant is responsible for the counterpart liaison with the parliament, the Hanlin Academy, the Yushitai, and the Dali Temple."
"The work of contacting the Zhuya is very important, and the minister intends to hand it over to Sun Wuji, the king of Shangdang County.
Chu Suiliang is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, Cen Wenwen is in charge of the Ministry of War, Yu Zhining is in charge of the Household Department, and Yang Shidao is in charge of the Criminal Department.
Du Yan is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and Dai Xuan is in charge of the Ministry of Industry. ” There are six departments of the imperial court, and everything is total.
The administrative part can basically be classified into six departments.
Therefore, it is more reasonable to say that one auxiliary is in charge of the other.
When it comes to the eldest grandson Wuji, he doesn't care about the six ministries, but goes to liaise with the parliament, Hanlin and other departments that do not belong to the cabinet, which is not in charge but in contact.
Obviously, Zhang Chao said that the eldest grandson Wuji has high merit, prestige, and strong ability, but in the final analysis, he just doesn't give him real power.
And among the six departments, the heaviest power is the officials, soldiers, and households, generally known as the upper three, Zhang Chao also arranged his own hardcore Chu Suiliang, Cen Wenwen, Yu Zhining, and even the criminal department, which is responsible for justice, has also arranged his own person Yang Shidao.
It turned out that Du Yan and Dai Xuan on the Hanjing side were only in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry.
According to the normal cabinet management system, the six ministries are responsible for administration, and each Shangshu is naturally the head of the first department, presiding over the daily affairs of the six ministries.
Local affairs, after being submitted to the central government, are divided into six ministries.
The six ministries are responsible for the corresponding affairs, and after the disposal, they must also report to the cabinet for reconsideration.

And the auxiliary minister in charge of the first disposition, each prime minister also has his own set of subordinate officials.
After the initial disposal, important matters must be discussed at the cabinet meeting, and the decision must be finally made by Zhang Chao, the first assistant, and then the yellow will be pasted, and then the emperor will be played.
The Emperor, with the assistance of the Hanlin Academy, made the results of the review.
It is then sent to the six sections of the House of Representatives, which will deliberate and pass, and then send it back to the six departments for final implementation.
It can be said that this is actually a very complicated set of procedures.
The prime ministers of the Cabinet are not only in charge, but they also focus on decision-making at Cabinet meetings, and are responsible for both decision-making and implementation.
Both the Emperor and the Six Branches have the right to refute and deliberate.
Prime ministers have the right to make decisions, but because the cabinet implements the system of subsidizing the first assistant to the yellow system, it is actually a system of democratic centralism.
Zhang Chao played a word game with them, the biggest power of the prime ministers is still in charge, if the eldest grandson Wuji is in charge of outreach, and there is no actual charge of the six yamen, then his power will be greatly reduced.
Cheng Qian originally wanted to hand over the ministry to the eldest grandson Wuji to be in charge, but it can be seen that Zhang Chao said that the external liaison was so important, but it was difficult to refute it for a while, and in the end he still failed to insist on his own opinion.
