Three days later, the Great Chu royalty issued a new decree.
First, the imperial power was separated from the imperial family and divided into three parts: the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Political Affairs, and the Ministry of Law. The three ministries were of equal status and were controlled by the three leaders.
Chief Grand Marshal of the Ministry of Military Affairs: Shui Liu Xiang.
Chief Consul of the Ministry of Political Affairs: Yan Guilai.
Chief Justice of the Ministry of Law: Chu Wuqing.
The people were very curious about the Great Chu royalty's methods, but they were not too worried.
Firstly, news from the frontlines had always been kept secret to avoid causing panic among the people.
Secondly, the Great Chu royalty was the orthodox and was deeply rooted in the people's hearts. No matter how the dynasty was reformed, it was still the imperial family's right. As the people, they were already used to it.
Thirdly, Shui Liu Xiang of the Ministry of Military Affairs and Chu Wuqing of the Ministry of Law were indisputable.
Whether or not there was this reform, Shui Liu Xiang was still the actual commander-in-chief of the Ministry of Military Affairs. The Seven Great Generals of the Human Race had always been loyal to her and could not be replaced.
Furthermore, other than Shui Liu Xiang and her 18 beloved ice sculptures, no one else would be able to guard the Heavenly Moat Canyon.
Not to mention that Flowing Water wouldn't give in, even if she wanted to, she wouldn't. No one would dare to take this job.
As for Chu Wuqing's position as Chief Justice, it was also indisputable. Could it be that … a country's laws and regulations could be made and enforced by others?
As an emperor, only by holding the power of life and death in his hands could he intimidate his subjects. Otherwise, who would care about him as the emperor of the Great Chu? How could he display the dignity of an emperor?
As for Yan Guilai, although no one knew who he was, it was obvious that the Great Chu royalty had realized that they did not have the ability to govern and were not good at this.
Since they could not do it themselves and were not good at it, they might as well hire someone who could do it and was very good at it.
Things like this were not rare. On the contrary … there were many such things happening in the marketplace.
Many of the children of wealthy families were not good at business. After their ancestors passed away, those children of wealthy families would hire talented professionals to help them run their shops or businesses. This kind of thing was too common. It could even be said that it was known to all.
Therefore, no one was against Yan Zhaoge's return. Instead, they were looking forward to Yan Zhaoge's return. They hoped that Yan Zhaoge would be able to do something to improve the current predicament of mankind.
There was nothing much to say about the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Law. They already existed, and now they just changed their names. Everything else was basically the same as before.
The only novelty was the Chief Justice of the Great Generals!
According to the new rules and regulations, the three divisions were not affiliated with each other. Flowing Water Fragrance, Returning Swallow, and Chu Wuqing had the same status. None of them could suppress the other.
Most importantly, they had absolute power in the areas they controlled.
For example, Shui Liu Xiang could expand the army for war, manufacture armor and weapons, recruit soldiers, and even declare war on the demon race. Shui Liu Xiang did not need to explain anything to the other two ministries. She could make her own decisions.
Another example was Chu Wuqing from the Ministry of Law. Making laws and enforcing laws were the Ministry of Law. No matter how dissatisfied Yan Guilai and Shui Liu Xiang were, they could not interfere. Chu Wuqing also did not need to explain anything to them.
Finally, there was Yan Guilai. Other than not being able to interfere with the matters of the Ministry of Law and the Ministry of Military Affairs, in fact … Yan Guilai's power was no different from that of an emperor.
Other than the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Law, everything else was arranged and decided by the Chief Justice, Yan Guilai. No matter what he did or how he did it, he only needed to explain it to himself. He did not need to explain it to anyone else.
Of course, this alone was not enough. It was still the same saying. Absolute power would lead to absolute corruption.
Therefore, other than the three ministries, there was also another ministry. The task of this ministry was to supervise the three ministries and their leaders to prevent them from making mistakes.
To put it bluntly, this ministry was similar to the original five Grand Advisors. Its role was to supervise.
If this ministry did not exist, Yan Guilai could make a decree that all the industries of the human race would be under his name. They would become Yan Guilai's private property.
Chu Wuqing could also make a law that anyone who did not listen to him would be beheaded!
Flowing Fragrance could also start a war as she wished. Her targets could be the officials of the Ministry of Political Affairs or the judges of the Ministry of Justice. She could attack whoever she wanted and destroy whoever she wanted. After all, her power was unlimited and no one was supervising her.
The position of this supervision ministry was not above that of the leaders of the three ministries.
Although its role was to supervise, it was a subsidiary of the three ministries. The three ministries would send people to supervise each other and make decisions together.
Shui Liu Xiang from the Ministry of War sent Hua Nongyue.
Yan Guilai from the Ministry of Politics sent Jun Wuyou.
Chu Wuqing from the Ministry of Law sent Nangong Huayan.
Other than these three, Beiye Piaoling, Sima Pianxian, Crape Myrtle Martial Emperor, and Dongfang Tianxiu were also stationed. They became the seven Deacons of this ministry.
However, just these seven people were obviously not enough. Although these seven people's individual strength was not bad, and they were in charge of the affairs of a small area, it was obviously not too big of a problem.
However, they did not have the ability to manage the overall situation of the human race and balance the relationships between the three ministries. Simply put, they were not capable enough and were not smart enough.
Therefore, after a discussion, Bai Bing received everyone's approval. Together with the other seven people, they formed the Investigation Bureau. Bai Bing was the chief investigator!
The Investigation Bureau's job was to investigate and study the rules and regulations of the three ministries.
With Hua Nongyue's Bi Lou, Jun Wuyou's Huang Quan, and Nangong Huayan's Baihua as the core, the investigation was comprehensive.
Once they found that there was something wrong with the laws and regulations of the Ministry of Law, Ministry of Politics, and Ministry of War, the Investigation Bureau could directly investigate and even hold a meeting to vote.
Hua Nongyue, Jun Wuyou, Nangong Huayan, Beiye Piaoling, Sima Pianxian, Crape Myrtle Martial Emperor, Dongfang Tianxiu, and Bai Bing … A total of eight people voted.
Among them, as the chief investigator, Bai Bing had two votes. The others each had one vote, making a total of nine votes.
Under the supervision of the Investigation Bureau, for example, if Chu Wuqing made unreasonable laws and regulations, or if he disregarded human life, the Investigation Bureau had the right to hold a meeting to stop the making of laws and regulations. They also had the right to conduct a thorough investigation of the relevant cases to bring justice to the people.
The same logic applied to the Ministry of Politics and the Ministry of War. The Investigation Bureau also had the same function and power.
Simply put, the Investigation Bureau had no right to interfere with the work of the three ministries. However, if the three ministries were to act recklessly, the Investigation Bureau had the right to stop them and prevent them from acting recklessly.
Moreover, for the time being, no organization or department could change or abolish the three ministries' leaders. Even if they made a mistake, they could only stop them but not impeach them.
