The next day.
Before the morning court even started, an imperial decree was handed down from the Xia Palace.
?From now on, the city lord system of the Great Xia Dynasty will be changed to the county system, and the city lords of each city will be changed to county magistrates. The official titles will be appointed according to the size of the city and the city lord's repair. The highest rank is second rank, and the lowest rank is ninth rank.
All city owners must strictly cooperate with the imperial court in the transfer of appointment and dismissal, and there must be no mistakes.
Those who resist the decree and do not obey it will be punished by the nine clans!
Once this imperial decree comes out, one can imagine what kind of shock it will cause!
Although a few days ago, there was news from the Xia Palace that the local city lord system would be reformed, but it has not been implemented, and there is no imperial decree from the Xia Palace. Therefore, although many people are secretly vigilant, they do not take it too seriously.
Where is the reform of the local system so easy.
Great Xia has been passed down for thousands of years, and it has always been the city lord system. It can be said that the city lord system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone is used to this system.
The local city lords and generals jointly manage the city, have absolute control, and are only responsible to the imperial court, and no one else can mobilize them.
But this is also based on the fact that the prestige of the imperial court is enough to deter local cities.
If the imperial court is weak, the control over the cities in these places will not be strong at all. If someone rebels, the involvement will be huge, and it will not be so easy to suppress.
So for a long time, the imperial court has always adopted a policy of appeasement towards the city lords and generals in these places.
To put it simply, the imperial court needs them to help govern and protect the Great Xia, and they also need the imperial court to grant them rights. Only by being famous and relying on the imperial court behind them can they legally implement the rights of the city lords.
Otherwise, not to mention the common people, even if those aristocratic families and sects wanted to fight for the control of the city, they would not be able to resist it.
A few days ago, after the imperial court successfully repelled the coalition forces of the three dynasties, it then integrated and suppressed all the aristocratic families and sects from all over the country. Therefore, the power of the local city lords also increased, and their control over the city became stronger. Disciples of aristocratic families who don't pay attention to them now have to act according to their faces, which is really incomparably fun.
But who knows, this comfortable day has not lasted long, and the imperial court suddenly issued such an imperial edict to reform the local city lord system and change it into a county system.
Through careful understanding, they also understood the meaning of the system of prefectures and counties, which is roughly to divide all the cities of Daxia into several counties and set up a county guard. The county guard is the highest official of the county. Although he does not participate in the management of each city, he does The magistrates of this county are all under the jurisdiction of the sheriff.
At first glance, in fact, the rights of the city lords have not been weakened. They are still the highest officials of the city, but they have just changed their titles.
But the main thing is that suddenly there is a sheriff on their heads!
As for the sheriff, the imperial court did not explain it, so it was obviously not prepared to be elected from among the city lords, but planned to be directly appointed by the imperial court.
This means that they can no longer rely on the high mountains and the emperor's distance as before, and the court can't control them, but they can do whatever they want.
At this moment, hanging above their heads is a knife, a court knife!
And this sheriff is this knife!
They can naturally see that the court's move is to centralize management and strengthen the court's ruling power.
And this matter is by no means that simple, the imperial court must have a backup.
Because this imperial decree only asked the city lords of the cities to cooperate with the imperial court in the transfer of appointments and removals, and did not make arrangements for the guards of the cities.
You must know that the military strength of each city is in the hands of the guards, and the city lord's rule over the city mainly depends on his military strength. Therefore, generally speaking, the relationship between the city lords and the guards of each city is very good. equal status.
But at this moment, the court only asked the city lord to cooperate with the court handover, but did not make arrangements for the guards, which is a bit intriguing.
Everyone guessed that the imperial court should intend to keep the troops in their hands, so for the time being, only the city lord was allowed to cooperate with the handover.
And as expected, the next day, another imperial decree came out from Xia Palace: the imperial court has selected the county guards, and the county guards have already gone to the counties to take up their posts, and ordered the city guards to report to the county guard's office immediately to hand over the military power. , obey the appointment of the sheriff.
Once this imperial decree came out, the atmosphere became even more tense.
Throughout the ages, their own rights have come from strength, and for these local officials, their strength is the military power in their hands!
But now the imperial court wants to control the military power in various places. Will these officials be willing to hand over the military power just like this?
the answer is negative!
Accustomed to holding the military power in their hands and deciding the day of life and death, how could they be willing to hand over the military power just like this.
However, a few days ago, the imperial court repelled the coalition forces of the three dynasties, and also subdued the clans and sects from various places, which had already demonstrated the powerful strength of the imperial court. Although these local officials were conceited, they were not so arrogant that they dared to openly confront the imperial court.
But they didn't want to just sit and wait like this, so many city officials joined forces to vote for loyalty and request the court to take back the order, while dealing with the officials sent by the court to hand over the decree, delaying the decree.
In their view, although the imperial court is powerful now, it is impossible to directly force them to accept the order. In this way, if they are forced to rush, the civil strife in Daxia is not what the imperial court wants to see.
Therefore, most people are confident and feel that the court dare not persecute them too much, ignore the two imperial edicts, threaten to play the court, and ask the court to take back the order.
Of course, there are also some people who choose to wait and see. They are extremely polite to the officials sent by the imperial court. They are extremely obedient on the surface, but they have no actual actions.
No city officials chose to accept the order and cooperate with the court's handover, appointment and dismissal.
The scene became deadlocked like this.
After hearing this news, many aristocratic families and sects who had been suppressed and subdued by the imperial court became active again, and secretly sent people to contact the local government.
Although I don't know what they talked about, but soon after, these officials became even more unscrupulous, full of confidence in their plan, and felt that the court would definitely withdraw their orders.
And the reform of the local city lord system will also be left alone and become a joke.
For a time, dark tides surged everywhere.
The wind and rain are about to come and the building is full of wind!
Xia Palace.
After hearing these news, Qin Wuhen smiled lightly, not feeling any surprise.
That's how people's hearts are!
They honestly obeyed the orders of the imperial court before. First, they had to obey because of the powerful imperial court.
The second is because their interests are not involved.
But now the reform of the local system obviously involves their interests, so they can't sit still.
And the reason why they are so reckless is that they feel that Daxia has just experienced internal strife and foreign aggression, and its foundation is unstable. The imperial court should not dare to force them at this juncture and make Daxia turmoil again.
The most important thing is that this matter involves all the cities in Daxia except the central royal city and the four borders. They feel that the law does not blame the public, so they are even more unscrupulous!
but¡¡
Don't dare to force them?
D?
In Xia Palace, Qin Wuhen laughed, even more unscrupulously!
The next day, an imperial decree was sent out from Xia Palace again.
And with the spread of this imperial decree, the already tense atmosphere in various places instantly became more tense!
At the same time, all over the Great Xia, figures in Jinyiwei and the official uniforms of the Eight Gates began to act secretly one after another
