In the Chongzheng Hall, a brand new map of Hedong was slowly unfolded and hung up by the chamberlains, and displayed in front of the Han monarchs and ministers. Because for three generations, local prefectures and counties had been seriously damaged, their institutions were chaotic, and many of them were not worthy of their real names. Liu Chengyou had long been determined to reorganize the entire household, clear fields and define boundaries for prefectures and counties all over the world. He took the opportunity to reorganize administrative planning starting from Hedong.
Liu Chengyou was present along with the senior officials from the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, and the Third Department. There were two new faces, the Privy Councilor Zhe Cong Ruan and the Deputy Councilor Guo Rong. Needless to say, Guo Rong, after Guo Wei resigned from the Privy Council, Liu Chengyou thought about it, and after repeated consideration, he placed Zhe Congruan, who had returned from the northwest, to the position of Privy Councilor.
Prime Minister Li Tao stood in front of the map and introduced to Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to redefine the prefectures and counties of Hedong Province. This is the preliminary order.
From north to south, Taiyuan, the northern capital, is renamed as a county and has jurisdiction over nine counties: Jinyang, Mengxian, Shouyang, Yuci, Qingyuan, Jiaocheng, Wenshui, Qixian and Taigu, and governs Jinyang;
The two prefectures of Xin and Dai were abolished and Yanmen Prefecture was established, which governed the six counties of Yanmen, Fanchou, Naoxian, Wutai, Xiurong and Dingxiang, and governed Yanmen;
The two prefectures of Lan and Xian were abolished and Kelan Prefecture was established, which administered six counties: Yifang, Langu, Ninghua, Hehe, Jingle, and Loufan, and governed Yifang;
Baode Prefecture was established in the two prefectures of Feifu and Lin, which governed the five counties of Fugu, Anfeng, Liangu, Xinqin and Yincheng, and governed Fugu;
Feishi Prefecture is Jinning Prefecture, which governs the six counties of Ninghe, Linquan, Fangshan, Dinghu, Lishi and Pingyi, and governs Lishi;
Liaozhou was abolished and became Pingding Prefecture, which administered six counties: Pingding, Leping, Pingcheng, Heshun, Liaoshan and Yushe, and governed Pingding;
Fenzhou was renamed Fenyang Prefecture, which administered six counties: Xihe, Xiaoyi, Pingyao, Jiexiu, Lingshi, and Mianshang, and governed Xihe;
Lu and Qinzhou were abolished and became Longde Prefecture, which administered nine counties including Wuxiang, Tongdan, Xiangyuan, Licheng, Shexian, Lucheng, Tunliu, Shangdang and Huguan, and governed Shangdang;
The two prefectures of Xi and Ci were abandoned as Daning Prefecture, the names of the three prefectures of Jin, Jiang, and Ze remained unchanged, and Huaizhou was merged into Heyang Prefecture.
After the restructuring, our Dahan River East Road has jurisdiction over ten prefectures and three prefectures, totaling 90 counties..."
Li Tao was talking and Liu Chengyou was listening. A series of names of prefectures and counties fell into his ears, but his eyes were fixed on the map. After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou said: "The regulations of Lu, Qin, Jin, Jiang, Ze, Huai, and Heyang will not be changed for the time being, and will be postponed until the former Hedong Jiedu jurisdiction is changed to a prefecture, and then adjustments will be made!"
"Yes!" Li Tao responded quickly.
Liu Chengyou then ordered: "The newly reformed county officials should be implemented as soon as possible without affecting the local administrative operation, and be stable and not chaotic. Fan Zhi is in Jinyang, taking charge of the restructuring matters, cleaning up officials, and the personnel department should actively cooperate. In addition, The two prefectures of Fu and Lin have changed it to Baode Prefecture, and we will not appoint a prefect for the time being!"
"As you command!"
Liu Chengyou looked at Zhe Congruan and Guo Rong and said: "The places of Dai, Lan, Fu and Lin are border states, and the armies guarding the border should be adjusted according to the trend and set up additional military envoys for defense. On the side of the Privy Council, draw up a plan Come out!"
"Yes!" Both responded.
"Such a change in Hedong will shock the world! At the local level, there should be more vacancies for officials, and the central government should also be prepared!" Liu Chengyou sighed.
After hearing this, Feng Dao said: "I have discussed with you that the officials in Hedong have been reviewed and assessed, and those who pass can be retained. For the remaining vacancies, your majesty can open a system for selection, announce the internal and external officials of the two provinces, and pass the inspection to become political directors. His talents will be directly promoted and promoted to Hedong!"
"Just do it!" Without thinking much, Liu Chengyou agreed and reminded: "There have been no major changes in local academic administration in recent years, so we should pay more attention to it. The state, province, palace, and three-level examinations must continue to be implemented . This year's football, if the system is to be launched again, the talents for politics must be selected from scholars..."
"Your Majesty is wise and rules the world with royal principles, which is good news for the Han people!" Feng Dao said with a smile.
After the discussion was over, Liu Chengyou took out a list, held a pen between his fingers, and pondered. There are more than 70 people on this list, all of whom are county officials in Hedong Prefecture and are involved in political affairs. These people have one thing in common: they are all deeply involved with Liu Chong.
Of course, this has been reviewed and either there is no evil or there is some talent. What Liu Chengyou needs to consider is whether to retain these people and how to use them. Although Liu Chong's matter was handled in a low-key manner, there was inevitably a thorn in Liu Chengyou's heart that affected his attitude towards these military and political officials.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou quickly started writing, checking off those with low levels one by one and retaining them all. As soon as he started writing, there were more than ten people, who were a little upset.
His eyes fell on the judges, soldiers, and officials under the Jiedu Mansion in Hedong. Zheng Gong, Zhao Hua, Li Xiang, Wei Rong, Wang Dezhong, these officials were the ones most closely involved with Liu Chong.
He also took out a report, which was a description of the talents, official reputation, and reputation of these talents. Wang Jingchong presented it.
After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Chengyou finally suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and chuckled to himself: "When did my mind become so small? As long as I have that ability, why do I have to worry about it?"
"Pass on Li Fang!"
Soon, Bachelor Li Fang came quickly and stood in the hall, waiting for instructions. Liu Chengyou waved the list in his hand and said: "Mingyuan, send this list to the Political Affairs Hall and give it to Li Tao. Tell him that Zheng Gong, the former Hedong Jiedu judge, retained Zhi Taiyuan, Zhao Hua Zhi Yanmen, and Li Xiang , Wei Rong, and Wang Dezhong Jiedu government officials were all transferred to Huainan Province, while all other state and county officials were retained and assigned to their posts according to their talents!"
"yes!"
"Let Zhongshu issue an edict to Fan Zhi, let him be dealt with in Taiyuan, and straighten up and down the Hedong Road for me!"
Compared with the administration of civilians and punishments, it is easier for the army. There is no room for consideration for those who should be eliminated. With Zhao Kuangyin's acting style, he dealt with them very cleanly. The Privy Council has received several letters from Hedong regarding the reorganization of the army.
Zhecong Ruan and Guo Rong both reported that Zhao Kuangyin was a capable man and had selected three thousand elite soldiers and was on his way south.
"Your Majesty, Wang Jingchong, the envoy of martial virtue, would like to see you!"
Since the Wude Secretary was rehabilitated, the frequency of Wang Jingchong's visits to the palace to report matters has increased significantly.
As he hurriedly entered, Wang Jingchong looked a little solemn. After seeing the ceremony, he reported in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, a secret report from Xijing is urgent. The King of Taiyuan has passed away!"
"Huh! Huh?" Liu Chengyou raised his head, his brows suddenly furrowed, and his voice was a little higher: "What's going on? When did it happen? Their family is in Luoyang, and I'm afraid they haven't settled down yet!"
Wang Jingchong said: "Back to Your Majesty, the King of Taiyuan is old and frail. He also encountered a big change, and his mind and spirit were damaged. On the way westward, he had to go through a lot of fatigue by carriage and horses before he arrived at Luoyang. Occasionally, there was a cold wind, and he couldn't afford to fall ill, so he left that night!"
"If you encounter a big change, your mind and body will be damaged. If you die of illness, you will die of illness!" Liu Chengyou said angrily.
"Yes, I made a mistake!" Wang Jingchong hurriedly buried his head.
"I understand, please step back!" Liu Chengyou sighed and ordered.
Sitting alone at the imperial desk, Liu Chengyou pondered for a while, and then said to Zhang Dejun: "When the funeral report arrives in Xijing, you can directly pass on my instructions to stay in Jingfan in Xijing and help take care of the affairs of Queen Taiyuan on behalf of the court."
"yes!"
Shaking his head slightly, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but sigh and murmured quietly: "I have been extra tolerant and spared your life so that you can enjoy your old age. It's a pity that you don't have this blessing. I can't blame you for keeping you here. So. If you have many descendants, please go with peace of mind..."
