Chapter 1027 Jinyiwei and Imperial City Division

In Chang'an City, more than a month passed since the emperor appeared at the New Year and New Year meeting on the first day of the July 1st, and the emperor never showed up in front of all officials again.

Only the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall of the Foreign Court and the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy of the Inner Court can often enter the palace to meet the emperor. In addition to the prime minister of the Prefecture, only the chiefs of the Censorate and the Privy Council can ask for the emperor.

Fortunately, when the dynasty appeared, the rumors about the emperor's critical illness and even his death were self-defeated. At the daily attendance and dynasty meetings, the crown prince was still the regent on behalf of the dynasty, but Empress Shan quietly stopped obeying the government behind the curtain.

As the Helong front line continued to report success, the solemn atmosphere in the court was gradually replaced by the joy of celebration.

The officials and civilians of the government and the opposition have gradually become accustomed to the new way of governing the government in the Chang'an court. The emperor had prime ministers outside the court and the grand magistrates inside and outside the court. The government affairs hall was made yellow, the Hanlin Court discussed politics and criticized the red, and the Privy Council held the power of military orders alone. The Censorate had the power to impeach the prime minister of the court, and the personal military commander's office was the emperor's eyes and ears, so a new stability was formed.

The final decision-making power is always in the hands of the emperor.

The three provinces and six ministries have become executive organs.

The court meeting has now become a routine ceremony. It often attends just to go to the Golden Palace to call a name and go through the motions. Even the court meeting is just to visit the emperor with the marquis of the capital, and will not discuss any state affairs at the court meeting.

Therefore, it is no longer important whether the emperor participates in the court or not.

What is important is that the courts and courts are following the emperor's will. In everyone's opinion, the current court system is actually the emperor who imitates Emperor Wu of Han to strengthen the imperial power and authority.

From the three high officials in the early Sui Dynasty to the prime ministers, to the later failure to grant the three high officials to the three provincial officials as prime ministers, and later expanded the scope of prime ministers, including the Ministry of War, Ministry of Personnel, and Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Prime Minister was eventually expanded to nine people. The Hanlin Academy was established, and nine Grand Secretarys of the Palace and Pavilion were held to control the power of the Zhu Criticism. In fact, the prime minister had been severely divided and deprived.

Zuo Pushe, the Shangshu in the early Sui Dynasty, was the first real prime minister, but now, both the Political Affairs Hall and the Hanlin Academy take turns to preside over the meetings of the court, and there is no prime minister or the prime minister.

In addition, the single Privy Council has separated the military power of the prime ministers. Therefore, the system of internal and external courts and ministers of the 18 prime ministers in the court can no longer compete with the imperial power. At the same time, the other two supervise and restrict each other to avoid the output of power and force.

"Your Majesty, Siye is about to arrive at Weiqiao."

Li Junxian, the chief commander of the personal army, reported.

In the Yulin Palace, the emperor came to inspect the Yulin Cavalry today, and read it every ten days. This is the custom of the Yulin Army. The Yulin Cavalry who performed well in each reading will receive additional rewards from the emperor and recorded it in the archives.

Since the stroke, the emperor has taken a bow and shot an arrow for the first time today.

He took a lot of effort to pull a stone bow, and the arrow shot out, which was a little crooked. The target of thirty steps was only hit by the side, almost leaving the target.

However, this arrow still attracted countless praises from Yulin Lang and Yulin Cavalry. The emperor was almost paralyzed before. Now, in less than three months, he can actually shoot the arrow and hit the target with thirty steps. It's amazing.

Luo Cheng laughed.

"It's still weak with both arms. This is just a single stone bow. You can shoot arrows and shoot fixed targets. As a result, you can barely hit the thirty steps, which is too far away."

Li Junxian said, "The Emperor was able to win three-stone strong bow back then, and hit a hundred steps away from the rushing cavalry. However, Your Majesty has recovered very well. It is estimated that in two or three months, he will be able to regain his former courage."

Luo Cheng lowered his bow and had no intention of shooting again.

He also needs to strengthen his recovery. For him now, the intensity of archery is still a little too high, and he has to proceed step by step.

"Siye is very fast, he will arrive at Weiqiao so quickly."

"Your Majesty, Murong Shun, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Gong, come and wait for the generals to come back. Privy Councilor Zhang Shuai is still in charge of the aftermath in Jincheng and will come back later."

Luo Cheng wiped the sweat from his face and walked slowly. Li Junxian followed two steps behind.

"Fifth Lady, you have been in charge of the personal military mansion for several years, right?"

"I have been replacing Wang Junguo's personal military residence for five years." Li Junxian said truthfully.

Five years have been around for a long time. The pro-military military residence developed from the dark guards and the shadow guards in their early years. The shadow guards were first brought out by Wang Junxian and Zhang Liang, and later they were merged into the two and changed into the personal military residence, which was led by Wang Junguo. Although Wang Junguo later rebelled, this person was still very capable. In his hands, the shadow made a qualitative leap.

However, Li Junxian has taken over the past five years, but the strength of the personal military palace has further improved. As the emperor's eyes and ears, their abilities are still very good.

It can be said that the secret spies in the personal military mansion are now spread all over the world.

"I intend to split the personal army's Duwei Mansion into the personal army's Duwei and the Jinyiwei, and set up another Imperial City Office."

Li Junxian was stunned for a moment.

"The personal military palace is divided into two parts. After that, the personal military palace is responsible for direct guards and emperor ceremonial guards. The Jinyiwei is responsible for patrol and arresting and reconnaissance of all officials."

"As for the Imperial City Department, it is responsible for visiting traitors, evil words, and evil, and supervising the Jinyiwei."

After all, the emperor wanted to implement checks and balances to the end. There were internal and external courts in the court. Now even the emperor, the personal army's chief magistrate, did not intend to let go, and he divided it into three.

The pro-military military office is no longer responsible for intelligence reconnaissance, but only serves as a guard of escorts and honor guards, and is more purely responsible for the pro-military military duties.

However, the newly established Jinyiwei and Imperial City Command have the responsibilities of reconnaissance, but they each have their own priorities.

The Imperial City Division was established in the palace and was led by eunuchs, called the Imperial City Division, which was simply the admiral. Their greatest responsibility was to monitor, investigate and make mistakes, and speak evil, including monitoring the Jinyiwei, with the purpose of balancing the Jinyiwei.

Emperor Luo Cheng knew very well that in order to strengthen the imperial power, intelligence agencies such as the Jinyiwei must be missing, but they must also be strengthened. Building another Imperial City Department is the best solution.

Just like the prime minister is in charge of the government affairs, but among the dynasties, the Censorate has the power to impeach and supervise the Prime Minister, and the appointment of the chief officials of the Censorate is not subject to the prime minister. This is a check and balance.

The Imperial City Department is responsible for investigating and arresting people, and at the same time gives them the power to hear. In major cases, the Imperial City Department has to send people to hear the trial, but Luo Cheng does not give the Imperial City Department the right to interrogate. They only have the power to monitor, investigate and take people, but the final questioning and conviction does not belong to them, which is also a restriction on them.

As for the Jinyiwei, they still inherited the reconnaissance of the former military governor's office, supervised all officials, princes, and royal families, and also had the functions of collecting military information, instigating enemy generals, beheading and assassinating them.

The Jinyiwei has similar responsibilities to the Imperial City Department, but they have more military tasks to collect military information, instigate and assassinate enemy generals, and behead and assassinate these military tasks. At the same time, their scale is slightly larger than that of the Imperial City Department and they also have the responsibility to supervise the Imperial City Department.

Similarly, Luo Cheng only gave the Jinyiwei the power to supervise and arrest him, but did not give them the right to interrogate him.

The Jinyiwei and the Imperial City Office are both witnessed and heard by the emperor, but in this way, the emperor does not have to worry about being deceived.

"If you listen to both sides, you will be clear; if you listen to both sides, you will be dark. I hope that the Jinyiwei and the Imperial City Department can do a good job in reconnaissance and arrest in the future."
