Chapter 617 Talk About Separation of Powers

Gao Shun and Li Yunfei explained everything. The reason why they married that woman was really to appease the hearts of Xichuan's civil servants and generals who had come to seek refuge with them. As for the report as soon as possible.

Perhaps it was because Li Yunfei was worried that Li Yunfei would suspect that he would support his troops and establish himself as a king, so after the celebration banquet, he came to apply for the removal of his military power. Of course, another problem is that Gao Shun feels that his ability is not enough to be in a high position, so he wants to resign and return to the field and find a idle job.

Gao Shun only needs to set the laws and rules for him, and he will implement them very strictly. For example, he is the only one who strictly enforces the set military discipline, so it is perfect when he leads an army of large scale. It is slightly insufficient when planning large-scale battles.

For example, the attack on Xichuan this time was due to being too spectacled, so the speed of advancement was slow, and Zhuge Liang took the lead. But Gao Shun's character is excellent, of course Li Yunfei can't really give him a free job.

"...Lao Gao might as well be in charge of the Criminal Department. You don't need to worry about other things there, you just need to strictly follow the rules. I believe in your character!" After thinking about it, the most suitable place for him is the newly established Criminal Department.

"But the criminal law?"

"Well, it is not only in charge of criminal law, but also a department with legislative power. Its position is equivalent to that of Chen Gong in charge of administration and Xu Shu in charge of foreign affairs!" Li Yunfei explained that the new court is going to implement the separation of powers. If it is done well, many All problems can be fundamentally solved, but it will take a long time to realize this system through the efforts of several generations before it can be truly realized.

"This matter must never be done. The last general has little talent and learning, and it is really difficult to be competent."

"Of course legislation cannot be accomplished by you alone. I think you and Zhuge Liang have cooperated very well. I will let him be your deputy first, and try to support this legislative body...Of course, if there is anything you don't understand, come to me at any time. Find me!"

"... I accept the order, thank you for your majesty's trust, I will be strict with myself and lead by example!" Gao Shun hesitated for a while, and finally accepted the task. With Zhuge Liang's assistance, he was of course more at ease. I am responsible, mainly because Zhuge Liang is still young, and his prestige is still somewhat insufficient!

"Get up quickly, we are all from our own family, so there is no need to be so polite." Li Yunfei quickly helped him up. "This is wine, although it doesn't taste very good, but drinking it once in a while is very good for your health. Take some back."

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty, and I will retire!"

"Well, go, come to the palace and walk around when you have time!"

"The humble minister obeys the order!"

Gao Shun respectfully withdrew from the palace. He thought that the world was peaceful now, and it was time to hide everything. He only needed to propose the matter of disarming and returning to the regiment. His Majesty would definitely agree to it, and at most he would give him enough money and food subsidies.

I didn't expect that this position would not fall but rise, in charge of criminal law legislation, this is a high official who really holds real power, generals are popular in troubled times, of course, officials in charge of criminal law are popular in peaceful and prosperous times, but how can I be in such a high position? ...

Gao Shun left the imperial study with trepidation, Zhuge Liang, who had just returned home, was extremely excited to receive the appointment. The second in charge of the legislative department, although he was not the first in command, had just turned twenty-one years old. Can't be in a hurry.

...

"This time to restore Xichuan, a total of 450,000 troops were mobilized. It lasted six months. 3,980 people were killed, 8,573 were injured, 35,000 enemies were wiped out, and 260,000 were captured... ..." Zhen Mi took a weekly newspaper that had just been delivered, and read the content aloud, of course it was for Li Yunfei, but Li Yunfei felt sleepy after listening, and leaned directly on his lap.

I stayed up all night last night. I discussed legislation with Chen Gong, Xu Shu, Gao Shun, and Zhuge Liang. I haven’t had a good rest for several days because of this. Of course, many laws cannot be copied from later generations. Otherwise, there will definitely be a lot of resentment.

We can only rely on the people of this era to combine reality as much as possible to establish a well-established and effective legal system.

"Your Majesty is sleepy, why don't you go to bed and rest first?" Seeing Li Yunfei's lack of energy, Zhen Mi put her hand on Li Yunfei's temple and rubbed it gently.

"Well, it's okay. I still don't sleep during the day, or I won't sleep in the middle of the night at night."

"Your Majesty has suffered from insomnia recently?"

"It's not insomnia...beauty, you miss your family, why don't I take you home once?"

"No, the concubine doesn't want to go home... If Your Majesty feels tired of being a concubine, you might as well stop coming here."

"Uh, why is the beauty so angry?"

"I dare not!"

"Do you really miss home?"

"I don't want to, since I have followed His Majesty, I am one of His Majesty's people, and this is my home!"

"Okay, if you don't reply, don't reply. Don't be angry. I like to see you carefree." I don't know what the situation is. I have heard her conversation with Xiaohuan before, and I really feel homesick. Now Why don't you think about it anymore? It seems that you really don't want to go back, otherwise you wouldn't be so determined to go back.

"Well, the concubine is not angry, should I continue reading?"

"Let me watch it myself. Listening to your voice, I want to sleep, or I just think about some other random things, and I can't listen to it at all."

After taking the special internal reference of the weekly newspaper, continue to browse the above content. The information is very detailed, Xichuan was officially included in the territory, and the national celebration was three days, so most of the content on the page is the process of taking Xichuan this time, the price paid and the harvest.

Not counting the casualties, just talking about the cost of materials, it was as high as 18 million shi, grain and grass, and the extra military subsidy due to the expedition, tens of millions of silver coins, and the pension for the casualties was several million Silver coins, and of course many other expenses. I have to say that fighting is really costly.

However, the harvest this time is also very large. A total of five million stones of grain and grass, four hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold, two million and six million taels of silver, hundreds of millions of five baht coins, and many jade and agates were seized from Xichuan. Things, generally speaking, the gains of this war are much greater than the losses. I really didn't expect that Xichuan would have so many gold and silver hoards, which are almost half of the current national treasury reserves. With this batch of gold and silver put into the market, there will be no need to worry about insufficient circulation in the next three to four years.

"The Kunlun Mountains survey team found the footprints of an unknown giant beast in the Nalingele Canyon of Kunlun Mountains on July 20, the second year of Zhonghua. The footprints were three feet long, one foot and three feet wide, and two feet deep. Five-fingered..."

It was really incredible to see such a news suddenly.

"Beauty, has this news been verified?" Li Yunfei asked pointing to the news. He has been busy establishing the national constitution these two days, so he rarely paid attention to the news from all over the world, and unexpectedly missed such an important discovery.

"Of course it has been confirmed. This news was sent by Princess Qi'er."

"The girl didn't tell me such important news?"

"Is this news significant?"

"Isn't it important to find traces of such a giant beast?"

"...It can't be said that it's very big. Has Your Majesty forgotten that big bird with a wingspan of several miles? This giant beast is actually insignificant compared to that big bird, so Princess Qi'er didn't take it seriously. ah!"

"Well, well... I really don't know what powerful creatures there are in this world."

"No matter how powerful you are, you will never be stronger than His Majesty."

"Sister, you praise me too much. In the world, it's hard. You and I are both infinitely small."

"No, Your Majesty is as great as this world in the eyes of my concubine." Zhen Mi looked at Li Yunfei's eyes and said affectionately, this look was quite alluring to Li Yunfei.

"Well, I feel a little sleepy all of a sudden, beauty, would you like to sleep with me?" He picked her up and went to the bed without waiting for anyone to reply.

"Since your majesty is sleepy, why did you take off my concubine's clothes?"

"How can you sleep without taking off your clothes!"

"Then why did you take off your underwear?"

"Keep it in the eyes!"

Originally, Zhen Mi wanted to ask why the thing down there was so hard, but after thinking about it, she decided not to say such idiotic words, but to serve her well and try to make His Majesty feel at ease.
