On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 565 Decentralization
The envoy who went to Xuzhou to read the imperial edict and canonize Cui Qiji as the prince had not long since left Jinyang, and Cui Qiji, who was far away in Pengcheng, had already packed his bags.

He knew his father too well. When Li Jing came to Xuzhou to replace Du Ruhui as the chief historian, Cui Qiji already knew that he was about to enter the court as the prince.

Above Surabaya, the Xuzhou navy is practicing. After two years of training, at least it looks good.

"In the future, the Xuzhou Navy will be handed over to Mr. Li."

Cui Qiji on the high platform said to Li Jing.

Li Jing smiled and said:

"The son enters the court, there is another opportunity, I only hate Li for not being able to congratulate the son immediately."

The news of Cui Che's founding in Jinyang had not yet reached Xuzhou, so Li Jing naturally still called him his son.

The Xuzhou navy was built from scratch, and it was built by Cui Qiji, and it cost him a lot of effort. Now that he wants to hand over this navy to Li Jing, he doesn't feel reluctant.

Because Cui Qiji understood that he went to Jinyang to prepare to take over the whole world in the hands of his father in the future.

"Borrow Li Gong's auspicious words."

Cui Qiji smiled and said that although his position as the crown prince should be a certainty, but he did not receive accurate news, he was unavoidably upset, Cui Qiji counted the days every day, and only hoped that the envoy would come soon.

Back in Pengcheng, his wife, Princess Nanyang, greeted her outside the mansion. Now she has fully understood.

Husbands and sons still have to kiss their natal family after all.

"Husband is back, today he performed outside the city, why didn't he bring his concubine with him?"

Princess Nanyang naturally took Cui Qiji's arm.

Since his wife was preached by his mother Yang Lihua, Cui Qiji could clearly feel the changes in his wife.

Cui Qiji also didn't want to be like his uncle Yang Yong, leaving his father with the impression that his family was restless.

If you can't even manage your own back house, how can you govern the world in the future.

Therefore, Cui Qiji is also actively repairing his relationship with Princess Nanyang. Recently, he spends most of his time in Princess Nanyang's room, and Princess Nanyang is also very competitive and pregnant again.

Cui Qiji caressed Princess Nanyang's slightly raised belly through his clothes as if no one was there, and said soothingly:
"Army exercises are too murderous. If you go, what should you do if the fetus in the womb is frightened?"

When Princess Nanyang heard the words, a sweet and satisfied smile appeared on her face. The relationship between the couple was not as tense as when Cui Che ignored Yang Jian calling him back to court.

Of course, for Princess Nanyang, there is another excuse for self-comfort, which is to be able to intercede for her brothers and sisters through the mouth of her husband Cui Qiji in the future.

The North and the South confronted each other. Before that, the South turned against the Central Plains, and Liu Yu was the only one who succeeded.

But Liu Yu was facing the chaotic situation in the north.

In the situation where the north has been unified, no one is optimistic about Yang Guang's ability to regain the Central Plains, even Princess Nanyang thinks so.

The only thing to consider is how long the southern regime can take advantage of the natural danger of the Yangtze River and hold on under the oppression of the north.

Perhaps it was after the Western Jin Dynasty that the north and south split for more than 270 years.

It may also be the confrontation between Sui and Chen. The Sui Dynasty destroyed Nanchen in only nine years.

Cui Qiji has now completely let go of Xuzhou's military affairs, and handed everything over to Li Jing for disposal.

This move is not only to show goodwill to Li Jing, but also to show his father who is far away in Jinyang: he does not have too much memory of military power.

Cui Qiji has seen too many examples of father and son who were intimate before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and became suspicious of each other after they became emperor and prince.

The most vivid example is his uncle Yang Yong. Cui Qiji can be said to have watched how his uncle was driven down step by step from the position of prince, and in the end all his descendants were poisoned by his second uncle Yang Guang.

Yang Yong's experience also reminded Cui Qiji that even if he really became the prince, it doesn't mean he can sit back and relax.

Cui Che had protected Cui Qiji very well these years, another son, Cui Yanqing, was severely punished by Cui Che just for wanting to be named among the courtiers.

Cui Qiji saw it in his eyes, and was also moved in his heart. Naturally, he had to carefully maintain his relationship with his father and refrain from doing suspicious things.

Just looking at Yang Yong, you know that as the eldest son, he has Gao Jiong, He Ruobi, Yu Qingze, Shi Wansui and other important ministers and generals supporting him, but as long as Yang Jian made up his mind to be easy to reserve, Yang Guang finally became the prince position.

The incident between the two uncles taught Cui Qiji too many lessons, making him understand that only his father can determine his own destiny.

Now that he is wantonly cultivating wings, it has no effect except to arouse Cui Che's suspicion.

Therefore, when Li Jing came to Xuzhou, Cui Qiji treated him with courtesy and showed him goodwill, but he did not try to win him over secretly.

The crown prince of Dayan knows how to measure.

While Cui Qiji was waiting for the emissary of the declaration, Emperor Dayan and his confidants who were far away in Jinyang were also perfecting the various systems of the new empire.

In the center, the Yan Dynasty inherited the system of three provinces and six ministries since the Eastern Wei, Northern Qi, and Sui dynasties. Fang Xuanling, the minister, was in charge of the general affairs, and Pei Xiu, the minister, and Dou Luyu, the minister, were the three ministers.

At the local level, after discussing with his confidant ministers, Cui Che decided to divide the north into six areas according to the situation of mountains and rivers and the convenience of transportation.

That is, Hebei Road, Hedong Road, Henan Road, Guannei Road, Longyou Road, Huaishui Road
Each province has supervisory envoys, who have no right to interfere in the military administration of each state, but only have a supervisory role and report directly to the imperial court.

Below the Dao, there are states and counties. The military and government of each state are separated.

Only the post of governor can concurrently lead the military administration.

This move naturally strengthens the centralization of power.

Cui Che completely overturned the idea of ​​letting his sons have their own towns, and let his sons serve as the general managers of each place. Although it can stabilize the stability of the country in the early stage, he was deeply touched by the lessons learned by Han Wang Yang Liang.

If it wasn't for Yang Liang's assist, Cui Che would have started with Youzhou alone. During the capture of Hebei, Cui Che would have to guard against Hedong to join the war, and even harass Youzhou.

Cui Che immediately issued an edict, making Cui Yanzong, the King of Yong, the supervisor of Guannei Road and the governor of Qizhou. In addition to supervising the Guannei Province states, he also took charge of Qizhou's military administration, but he could not interfere in the affairs of the Guannei Province states.

He also appointed Liang Wang Cui Yanqing as the supervisor of Henan Province and the governor of Qingzhou, with the same power as Cui Yanzong.

The eldest grandson of King Wei Cui Youzhi is still young, so naturally he will not be released to other places, but will be raised in the palace by Cui Che.

The supervisors of the remaining four ways are civil servants.

The governors of each state, except in wartime, no longer directly command the soldiers and horses of neighboring states and counties.

In wartime, with the permission of the supervisory envoy, the school lieutenants of each state led the troops and belonged to the neighboring governors to obey the command.

After discussing with his confidants, Cui Che launched this set of administrative division system, which undoubtedly carried out drastic reforms on the basis of the original Sui Dynasty.
