Chapter 254: Restructuring and Peace Talks

Li Xuan has not fallen asleep for more than ten days, nor has he entered a state of meditation, because he is very busy now. In addition to planning the Taoist sect, he is also busy with the new dynasty. Moreover, his marriage with Qin Su has been officially put on the agenda, and the Li family has started to prepare.

At the beginning, the two chose three wedding locations, namely Liaodong, Qizhou and Luzhou. Now Liaodong and Luzhou are out of date. The situation in the imperial capital has not yet been decided. The royal family and nobles of the previous dynasty have not yet been dealt with. Jing Xiu started a major case because of the investigation of the national treasury. The atmosphere in the city is quite serious and it is not suitable for the wedding. In the end, Li Xuandu decided to marry Qin Su at the Eight Jing Villa. The burden fell on the heads of the Li family. Zhang Haishi returned to Penglai Island specifically and handed over the fleet affairs to Li Taiyi for the time being.

Li Xuandu had already agreed with Qin Qing that the Daxuan court could not stay in seclusion like the Dawei court. It not only had to open the sea ban, but also build a naval division. It was initially designated as three major naval divisions, namely: Beihai Naval Division, Donghai Naval Division, and Nanhai Naval Division. Among them, the Beihai Naval Division was mainly the fleet of Butian Sect, the East China Naval Division was mainly the fleet of Qingwei Sect, and the South China Naval Division was mainly the fleet of Cihang Sect. The three sects did not hand over all the fleets, and still retained more than half of the fleets.

The early military system of the Great Wei Dynasty was to command the commander to guard the local area, and the general officer was a temporary position and was the supreme commander when the army went to war. Later, the system of the garrison began to collapse, and the general officer became the supreme military officer garrison in the local area, replacing the function of the commander. Strictly speaking, the two sides did not belong to each other, so a higher governor should be coordinated and commanded in the center.

After the general officers are rampant and become permanent officials, if a large army goes to war, the highest general will be held with the seal of the general and be respected as the general. The general will not be established like the early general officer. It is a temporary official position. When the war is over, it will be handed over to the General Seal. The general has great power and can control all military and political power in the war zone and control the governor and governor in the war zone. Therefore, when Qin Xiang takes the seal of the general, Qin Daofang, the governor, also takes Qin Xiang's opinion as the main point.

Qin Qing decided to abolish most of the garrison systems in addition to several special garrisons such as Qingluan Guards, and the newly built naval division implemented a recruitment system, because the three major naval divisions were not limited to one state, but spanned several states, so their chief general was not ordinary general officers. They imitated the Beijing camp and set up a general general officer, one level higher than ordinary generals.

As for Qingluan Guard, he was demoted from Qingluan Guard's Governor's Office to Qingluan Guard.

According to the system of the garrison, it is divided into three levels: Du, Wei, and Secret. The commander commander is abbreviated as Du Secret. The highest commander is the "Du Secret", the second rank, and is affiliated with the Governor's Office of the Five Army. The commander is located below the commander is the "Guid Commander" and the guard is below the guard. The emperor personally went to the twenty-two guards, called the "Control Commander's Office of the Five Army", and is not affiliated with the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

"Wei" is normally "du", but the full name of Qingluan Wei is "Qingluan Wei's Personal Army Command Commander" and is directly affiliated with the emperor, so there is no "du" above, and naturally there is no "du commander", only "wei commander", and the third rank.

This is one of the few garrisons that have been decided to retain. Yang Lu served as the commander. Although the grade is not high, it undoubtedly has a weight. Qin Qing also appointed Yang Lu as the young master of the realm of creation. He was no longer aggrieved by Yang Lu, the great master of the realm of heaven and man.

If nothing unexpected happens, Li Taiyi will represent Qing Weizong as the general of military affairs of the future Donghai Navy. At the same time, Qin Qing also plans to abolish the Governor of Qizhou, Youyan, and set up the Governor of Qizhou, Jinzhou, and Zhili, and the Governor of Zhili, and the Governor of the East China Navy and Qizhou. The candidate for Zhili is Qin Daofang, the current Governor of Qizhou.

The other two major navy divisions were controlled by the Governor of Liaodong, and the Governor of Jiangnan, and the Governor of the Governor of Liaodong, and the Governor became a real chief of border ranks.

Another thing is that Qin Qing decided to abolish the garrison system while abolishing the five-army Governor's Office, which was in name only, and to collect power from the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War obeyed orders from the cabinet, which combined military and political power and directly obeyed the emperor. The final decision was still in the hands of the emperor.

In short, the cabinet commands six ministries, the Censorate, and the local governor. The cabinet members are appointed by the Secretary of the Six ministries or other important officials. The cabinet has the power to vote and propose. After the eunuchs are deposed, the emperor directly holds the power to criticize the royal family and has the power to make final decisions.

This is a change in official positions. In addition, Qin Qing also streamlined the honorary officials, dispersed officials and titles as much as possible.

The Great Wei Dynasty has always been divided into officials, honorary officials, and scattered officials. Officials are official positions that truly hold real power, such as the six ministries and nine ministers, local governors, etc. The scattered officials are also called scattered ranks. They have no power, just an empty name, and enjoy the treatment of the corresponding ranks.

The honorary officials are similar to titles, but not exactly the same. For example, the famous "Shangzhu Kingdom" is a first-ranked honorary official. For example, when some important officials passed away, the emperor awarded the honorary official a prize.

Qin Qing decided to abolish the system of honorary officials and scattered ranks and only retain the title system. The titles were divided into seven grades from the emperor: princes, princes, dukes, marquises, counts, viscounts, and barons. Regardless of inside and outside, they were not inherited and decreased in turn until the common people.

At the same time, Qin Qing retained the twelve honorary positions including "Three Dukes", "Three Orphans", "Three Divisions", and "Three Young Masters", that is, the Grand Tutor, Taibao, Shao Master, Shao Gong, Shao Bao, Prince Tai Shi, Prince Taifu, Prince Tai Bao, Prince Shao Master, Prince Shao Gong, Prince Shao Bao, etc., and there is no real power, and it is used to add or posthumous gifts.

Among them, the "Three Masters" are the first rank, the "Three Owl" is the first rank, the "Three Masters" are the second rank, and the "Three Young Masters" are the second rank.

Zhang Suqing was awarded the title of Grand Tutor and was regarded as a minister at the highest position. However, according to the rules, after being awarded the title of Grand Tutor, the emperor had to hold the etiquette of disciples, so few people could be awarded the title of Grand Tutor during their lifetime, and most of them were posthumously given after their death. Similarly, the crown prince also had to hold the etiquette of disciples to the crown prince's young master.

When Qin Qing released the news, the government and the opposition were talking a lot. Few people dared to ask for the titles of "Three Dukes". The key was the titles that could be passed on to their descendants. Now it depends on the titles of Zhao Zheng and Qin Xiang to determine the titles of others. One of these two is the head of civil officials and the other is the head of military generals. If they can get the title of king, the other second-class person may be able to be dukes, but if the two are just dukes, then the others will be the waiting and the Count.

As for Qin Daoyuan and Qin Daofang, as royal families, they cannot be summarized. Most of them are royal titles, but even so, the royal family seems very thin.

Now Qin Daofang is the local governor and is not in the imperial capital. Qin Daoyuan followed Qin Qing to the imperial capital. In addition to serving as the Minister of Revenue, he also had a clan order. However, the number of clan members is small now and there is nothing to manage. The main thing is to move the emperors of the Xu family in the previous dynasty from the Taimiao together with Mei Shenglin, the Minister of Rites, to move the ancestors of the Qin family into it. It is not difficult, but the key is the cumbersomeness.

Qin Qing was busy with internal affairs, but Qin Xiang's war was extremely smooth.

With the assistance of Taipingzong, Qin Xiang captured the entire territory of Luzhou at the end of July, and Chuzhou became an isolated land. Prefectures and counties asked to surrender one after another, and almost went down without fighting. During this process, Shen Yuanzhong, Xu Feibai and others made meritorious service. After Qin Xiang submitted a report to the court, he appointed Shen Yuanzhong as the governor of Luzhou and Xu Feibai as the governor of Chuzhou.

In this way, a situation of confrontation between the two sides across the river was formed. After losing Luzhou, the defense of the Thousand Miles of Rivers was full of flaws everywhere, and crossing the river was not difficult.

On the other hand, Shangguan Wan and Ning Yi's peace talks went very smoothly.

Strictly speaking, Mr. Bai Lu, the four mountain masters, Ning Qi, Huang Shiyuan and others were all prisoners of the Taoist sect and did not have the qualifications to negotiate. Only when Sikong Daoxuan did not participate in the final battle of the imperial capital was he able to truly represent the Confucian sect and the Taoist sect.

During this negotiation, the Taoist sect allowed the Confucian sect to retain four major academies, but the three major palaces had to depose two, and could only retain one, as a punishment for the Confucian sect. People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Sikong Daoxuan finally agreed to give up the Wanxiang Academy, deposed the Tianxin Academy, and preserve the longest-standing Sheji Academy.

For example, today, Xinxue Palace is still in the hands of Xie Heng, Yang Song, Di Jiang, Jin Chansou, Chi Yangweng and others, and they are stubbornly resisting. Their support is indispensable to the small court of Southern Wei, so Tianxin Academy is bound to be deposed. As for the Wanxiang Academy, it is the high priest of the Sikong Daoxuan. Although he is the high priest of the Wanxiang Academy, considering that the Sheji Academy had produced such sages such as Yasheng and Xun Qing, and it has the longest history. The predecessor of the Wanxiang Academy was the Wanxiang Divine Palace built by Empress Mingkong, which is not enough to be compared with the Sheji Academy, so he took the initiative to preserve the Sheji Academy.

After the peace talks, Sikong Daoxun claimed that he was speechless in front of his ancestors of all dynasties, and voluntarily resigned from his position as the high priest and retired to the mountains and forests.

After Li Xuandu received the news, he mobilized masters from the Taoist sect and above the Heavenly Man Realm to eliminate the last resistance forces of the Confucian Sect. On the other hand, he ordered the change of the Wanxiang Academy to the Wanxiang Dao Palace, expel the Confucian disciples, and changed them to worship the Taoist sages such as the Taishang Daozu, Nanhua Daojun, Yang Zhu, etc. At the same time, Li Xuan was grateful to his master Li Daoxu who studied here, and ordered the addition of the Master Li Daoxu's tablet in the Wanxiang Academy, which was located behind the sages.

Ning Yi is fully responsible for this matter and Lu Shiying assists.

Ning Yi was also a disciple of the Wanxiang Academy, but now he has become a Taoist sect. He turned around and rebuilt the Wanxiang Academy into the Wanxiang Academy. It has to be said that fate is arousing people. However, Li Xuandu's move did not mean that Ning Yi was embarrassed. He planned to develop the Wanxiang Palace into a place similar to the Imperial Academy, and to gather famous teachers from all walks of life here to preach and receive careers. He invited some real people from time to time. Dazhen people gave lectures here. All Taoist disciples could come here to further their studies, and Ning Yi became the first palace master.

Lu Shiying, also known as Mrs. Lu, only temporarily assisted. After establishing the Taoist sect, Li Xuan would set up six halls according to the structure of the inn, among which the person in charge of finance was Duzhi Hall, and Lu Shiying was the first hall master.

After the peace talks, under the command of Shangguan Wan, the Taoist forces, mainly Yin-Yang Sect, Zaoge Sect, and Zhenchuan Sect, entered Zhongzhou in large numbers. Wang Tan, the governor of Qinzhong, could not withstand the huge pressure from the Taoist Sect, and after losing the final protection, he took the initiative to surrender.
