Chapter 230 The Last Ceremony

After the military parade, the army left Zhuque Avenue in an orderly manner and entered the military camp outside Zhongjing City, and would return to their respective bases soon.

The Yulin Army also returned to the military camp not far from the east of the palace and returned to their respective posts, while the Jinyiwei returned to the palace to continue to carry out their own mission.

After the military parade, for ordinary people, the ceremony was over. For the invited outstanding officials, industry representatives, honor winners..., there was still a dinner waiting for them in the evening.

But for Yang Song in the palace and the important officials in the court, the ceremony was just over half, and the remaining half was the real highlight for them!

Yang Song and his group returned from Zhuque Gate to the Gongzheng Hall in the center of the palace. It was where Yang Song held a court meeting. There was a small square in front of the Gongzheng Hall, and both sides were considered the offices of each department.

There is a smaller palace behind the Political Consultative Hall. This is a place where Yang Song meets, discusses, and dispatches some officials in addition to the court meeting. It is 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 about half of the place, including gardens, pavilions, waterfronts, pavilions and terraces.

And after passing the inner court and heading north, it is the square where the Heaven and Earth Temple is located, and further north is the Xuanwu Gate of the Palace...

At this time, in the Political Consultation Hall, Yang Song had a high dragon throne. After seeing the officials in the hall taking their seats, he said, "I am the emperor today, and the Kingdom of Xia has entered a new era from now on. I and you all should encourage you!"

"Abide by Your Majesty's will~!"

After Yang Song finished his opening remarks, he entered the main topic without delay: "As soon as I became emperor, the Xia Kingdom became the Great Xia Empire, and the establishment of the imperial court will change."

"The previous 's 's 's ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s ' s '

"However, I think there should be another level above the level of the 'minister'." Yang Song said this and stopped for a moment. Seeing that the ministers were all listening attentively, he continued to say, "I call this level the 'ge."

After saying this, Yang Song did not wait for the ministers to react and directly said the order he had already thought of: "The Administration Department was upgraded to the 'Political Pavilion', with nine departments under the jurisdiction, and these nine departments were upgraded from the Administration Department's nine departments."

"The Military Department was also upgraded to the 'Military Pavilion', and the departments under the jurisdiction were also upgraded from the original departments..." Yang Song re-explained the establishment of various departments.

Regarding the establishment of various departments and their authority after Yang Song became emperor, Yang Song had a briefing on Liu Ji and Li Jing and other important officials before the ceremony, and now it is just a formality.

"...The responsibilities of the Zheng Pavilion, Military Pavilion, Finance Pavilion, and Court Pavilion are no different from those before, except that their specifications are two levels higher." Yang Song said that he was talking about the original departments, and there were still some changes, otherwise he would not have mentioned them in such detail.

The military pavilion has set up a new "Strategic Department", and the original "Soldier Hall" has been upgraded to "Military Service Department". The financial pavilion has become three departments, "Finance, Taxation, and Financial", which are responsible for finance, taxation and finance respectively.

In addition to "Xuanzhengyuan, Taishangyuan, Taishangyuan, Taishangyuan, and Science and Technology Institute", a new "Tianxingyuan" responsible for national sports development and management was established under the court hall. Its name is taken from "Tianxingyuan, a gentleman strives for self-improvement"!

There is probably only the government cabinet responsible for administration that has not changed.

Next, Yang Song will say something completely different: "The Judicial Department and Intelligence Department have been upgraded to a ministry, and the Ministry of Justice has a Dali Court responsible for trials, and a Censorate in charge of procuratorial and supervision."

"The Intelligence Department was changed to the Ministry of National Security, and it has the Security Assistance Department responsible for coordinating intelligence from various departments, the National Security Department responsible for domestic intelligence, and the Foreign Information Department responsible for foreign intelligence."

Yang Song would go without caring about Chen Ping or Song Ci's expression and continue to preach directly: "The Internal Affairs Office, which was originally responsible for state-owned assets, national honors and my industries, has now been upgraded to a palace, and has a Fengchang Mansion, which is responsible for the management of honors and honors."

When Yang said the word "National" from Yang Song's mouth, the expressions of civil and military officials in the court changed. Although they were trying hard to restrain themselves, their faces were filled with excitement and expectation, but they could not hide them.

Yang Song had long anticipated this and did not take care of the ministers, but ordered himself: "There are also the Zongzheng Mansion responsible for managing state-owned assets, enterprises, and institutions, as well as the Zongzheng Mansion responsible for managing royal family and royal family affairs, and the Emperor's inner treasury."

"Finally, the newly established Hanlin Academy and Privy Council are directly responsible to me, just like the other pavilions and departments." After Yang Song finished speaking the original, he immediately talked about the newly established departments.

"The Hanlin Academy is my consulting agency and also a reserve for senior talents. If local officials or ex-election officials want to enter the court as officials, they must first enter the Hanlin Academy and undergo internship."

Yang Song's words were clearly stated, and also gave the ministers in the court a clear positioning of the newly established Hanlin Academy.

"Liu Ji is the chief grandson of the Hanlin Academy." Before Yang Song appoints officials from other departments, he first appoints the head of the Hanlin Academy, which shows how Yang Song values ​​this department.

"The Privy Council is an institution responsible for my political affairs. It issues my edicts, passes and reviews memorials and memorials." Then Yang Song explained the role of the Privy Council again, and its importance does not need to be low in other departments.

"The Privy Council is composed of the head office of the Zheng Pavilion, the Finance Pavilion, and the head office of the Court Pavilion, and is held in the form of a meeting. This institution is a permanent conference institution and does not have official positions."

Regarding the Privy Council, Yang Song was not ready to set up this department, but later he thought that the system should be established earlier.

For Yang Song, this auxiliary institution is just a little tired without him. With him, you have to go with it. As for the auxiliary function, it is not very obvious.

But what about Yang Song's successor? If he is a mediocre person, the establishment of this institution will be a perfect solution, but by then the power of the important officials in the court will be relatively high.

For this reason, Yang Song did not set up a special official position on the Privy Council, but was formed by the slightly evolved "parliament" he learned in another world. It can be regarded as a system restriction on the power of officials.

Because Yang Song made a major split of the entire power system of Xia State, dismantling all administrative power, judicial power, fiscal power, legislative power, important personnel power, military power, etc.

In this case, all these powers must be communicated, negotiated, and acted with the Emperor Yang Song as the center. Yang Song, the emperor, is the center of the entire circle.

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

If the center point of this circle does not have enough ability, it will be a pile of sand that will be useless.

Therefore, the Privy Council was established to prevent the situation of loose sand.

That is, a slightly larger circle is placed outside the center of the circle, and this circle does not have to worry about subjective factors.

Even after several years, the worst result is nothing more than "constitutional monarchy", and the Privy Council has been transformed into a "cabinet".

Finally, the personnel appointments of various departments are made.
