Yue Fei had been worried about Zhang Jun before, always wondering whether this guy might be too impulsive.
Although he has done this kind of thing on the Jiangnan battlefield, after all, everyone is willing to do such things as cleaning up garbage under orders.
But for someone like him, Zhang Jun, who simply wraps things up... this is really too cruel.
Many officials of the Song Dynasty tried their best to impeach Zhang Jun, which also made Yue Fei, a general who had fought alongside him, very worried.
Today, Yue Fei looked back at this matter and found that there was a strong conspiracy in it.
No, it's very unusual.
Yu Wenxuzhong knew that there was a problem here, but he showed no sign of it, as if he had chosen to abandon the many scholar-officials who fought alongside him in an instant.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Jun did such a big thing, and these people present were still protecting Zhang Jun to the death.
Yue Fei just didn't understand all the circumstances before, but now he understands them.
This is not about anyone abandoning someone, nor about anyone protecting someone, it's just that everyone is using each other.
Zhang Jun is the butcher and executioner, and the price these people pay for keeping Zhang Jun is also to free themselves from the shackles.
This is a new round of reform, which means that the Song Dynasty will completely get rid of the ancestral laws, but the price of doing so is very heavy.
As Zhao Huan said before, the Song Dynasty did not have relatives of powerful ministers, but the premise was that the laws of the ancestors should not be changed.
Once it moves, the balance will be broken. However, the group of vested interests who have finally stabilized over the years will tacitly unite to resist this matter.
These people include all aspects, they may be the confidant guards and commanders around Zhao Huan, they may be the generals around Yue Fei, they may be the direct disciples of Li Gang, Zhao Dingyu and Wenxuzhong, or they may even be them themselves!
Because at the moment when Confucianism and Taoism were shattered, loyalty was no longer the most standard answer in the world. The nations of the Tang Dynasty came to embrace all rivers, but the word loyalty was diluted again.
No one knows how many people remain loyal in the face of interests.
Judging from the fact that Zhao Huan divided all the officials into several battlefields and each led one side, this was not about cleaning up the garbage, it was just about asking for a certificate of surrender!
They are the five generals Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, Liu Qi, and Guo Yaoshi.
There are also four important ministers, Zhao Ding, Zhao Kai, Li Gang and Yu Wenxu.
Those officers and generals who died on the battlefield in various "accidental" circumstances were their certificates of surrender.
In this process, Yaoshi Guo, who has always been cunning and timid, has been eliminated.
Zhang Jun, who is also the most ruthless, is about to become an upstart surpassing Yue Fei.
It's not that Zhang Jun is more capable than Yue Fei, nor that Zhang Jun will replace him as Yue Fei's marshal in the future. They are still responsible for their own battlefields.
But Zhang Jun used his actual actions to tell Zhao Huan that he was willing to be a lonely minister.
When a lonely minister dies and his whole family is slaughtered, the official family needs such a lonely minister...
After thinking about this matter, Yue Fei became more aware of the current situation, and also knew that the current matter was beyond his control.
“Since the official positions in the court and the local government need to be changed, we should just change them in a bigger way.
Remove all the useless posts in my Song Dynasty, keep these useless things useful, and set up the three official posts as the first-class posts, but without the right to be the first-class official, and reward many old ministers for their old ways!
Another six ministries were set up to take charge of the governance of the world, the Yushitai was established, and the Zhijianyuan was abolished.
The Privy Council and the Three Yamen were abolished, and the Fifth Army Governor's Office was established to take charge of the military affairs of all parties.
Recruiting soldiers, training, and sending troops to fight were integrated into one, and they were integrated into the Five Army Governor's Office. Five governors were established, and governors and governors were established in various places to temporarily take charge of important military and political affairs. "
Zhao Huan directly set the tone, and this tone was basically a combination of the later Ming Dynasty and the previous Tang Dynasty.
Asking him to immediately change a method that is completely suitable for the Song Dynasty is a bit nonsense to be honest. He, Zhao Huan, does not have this ability, and even Li Gang and the others together do not have this ability in a short period of time.
Therefore, in this short period of time, Zhao Huan directly proposed the system of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, and then made some changes, canceling the craftsmanship and other parts that were not as good as those of the Song Dynasty.
At the same time, it is enough to get rid of the eunuch system and retain one Imperial City Division to avoid the exclusive power of eunuchs.
Although in Zhao Huan's view, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty really didn't have much reputation, and they looked like they were not as good as Tong Guan. Compared with Li Fuguo back then, they were in the sky and on the ground.
But the eunuch is not a good word in the end, and Zhao Huan does not want to cause trouble for himself and his descendants.
After the overall tone is set, all that's left is to discuss the details.
"Since we are going to use the Three Officials and Three Solitary Officials to replace the false positions, we cannot place them all in the first rank position. We can lower all the official ranks by half a step to make room for the difference.
San Gong has existed since ancient times and can be regarded as the first grade, but Sangu has never been heard of before and can be regarded as the first grade.
In this way, the court can also be stabilized. "
Li Gang opened his mouth to come, but the truth is still very accurate.
"Set the Grand Master, the Grand Tutor, and the Taibao as the three masters of the first rank, and set the Young Master, the Young Master, and the Shaobao as the three orphans of the lower rank. If there are more people who need glory, they can be added in front. embellishment.
The Crown Prince’s Grand Master, the Crown Prince’s Tutor, the Crown Prince’s Protector, the Crown Prince’s Young Master, the Crown Prince’s Young Master, and the Crown Prince’s Young Protector.
With the title of Prince, the official position is between the first rank and the second rank, which can ensure that we have enough officials in the court. "
"This is a great thing to say, but these are just minor details. Let's talk about the most important six parts first."
“I have decided to establish six ministries in the DPRK and Central Government to take charge of the people’s livelihood, administration, and the operation of military, food, grass, and transportation.
Each of the six ministries, namely the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Works, has one minister, one minister on the left and right, ten ministers, and twenty directors..."
"Your Majesty, there are too many doctors!" It was Zhao Ding who spoke this time, "If we go by what we roughly discussed before, there will be six departments and twenty-four yamen.
In this part, there are just four branches of yamen.
If there are too many ministers, it will be a matter of clique. At this time, it is better to remove the ministers than to increase them. Four ministers are enough.
If the affairs are busy, six departments can be added as six subordinate officers, and all subordinates will be assigned to Shizhong, left and right will be assigned to Shizhong, and all subordinates will be assigned to Shizhong.
These are minor officials in the court, so it doesn't matter if there are more people. "
Zhao Huan nodded silently, and then wrote and drew on the paper in front of him again.
"Then let's talk about the functions and powers of these six departments first. You can discuss it with me here."
"We must obey your orders."
"Personnel Department: Responsible for the management, assessment, promotion, etc. of officials all over the world.
Household Department: Connected with the three departments, it manages the income, expenditure and expenses of each place respectively.
Ministry of Etiquette: In charge of national auspicious ceremonies, school education, admissions to Imperial College, and imperial examinations.
At the same time, he is responsible for entertaining envoys from all over the world and banqueting meritorious officials.
Ministry of War: manages the military affairs of the world. It is mainly responsible for mobilizing food and fodder from the five directions to prepare for emergencies. In wartime, it is assigned to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.
The Ministry of Punishment: manages the criminal names of the world, and examines the prevailing laws in various places. If there are special circumstances, it can be adapted to local conditions. At the same time, it is determined whether the national laws need to be changed based on the current situation. This ancestral law can no longer harm the country and the people.
Ministry of Industry: That is to manage city construction, world logistics, water conservancy in various places, and crafts manufacturing, etc. "
Zhao Huan informed everyone of the changed powers of the six ministries in one breath, and the court fell into a brief period of contemplation. Even Yue Fei began to think about the issues here.
Everyone is discerning and knows about the other five military governors' offices, the governors and governors in various places, even the Yushitai mentioned later, and other things that may be added, but it is difficult to guarantee that there are six more important ones.
This can be said to be in charge of the lifeblood of the Song Dynasty.
"The rights of the six departments are great!"
"Even if he is restrained by the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, his power is a bit too great."
Li Gang and Yu Wenxuzhong are both old people from the Song Dynasty. They are used to the extreme decentralization of power in the Song Dynasty court, although they also want to enjoy the convenience brought by their rights and express their anger.
But when they saw the six drafts now drafted, they still felt a little numb.
Some rights are simply too great.
Zhao Ding also nodded slightly after the silence.
"Although severe cases require strong medicine, but this suddenly gives the Sixth Department such great power, I'm afraid the people in the Sixth Department will have something in mind...
As the saying goes, it is essential to be on guard against others. When Your Majesty should be careful, it is better to be more careful. "
"Then you mean to deprive him of his rights...or give him a lower score?"
"It's not necessary." Yue Fei, who should have been the last person to speak, spoke up at this time, "Your Majesty is wise. Naturally, the general would not have thought of such a good strategy, but the general knows that if you want to isolate someone in the army, you only need to Just promote his subordinates.
In the following generations, although there is no harmony with etiquette, it is the best way to deal with many incompetent people in the military today.
Since the decentralization of power is not what His Majesty wishes, then the power of their subordinate yamen can be elevated, and they can even compete with one of the six departments.
In this way, although their positions and official positions are different, they can be alerted in terms of power.
And after all, it still belongs to the six departments. As long as the six ministers and His Majesty understand it in their hearts, there will be no checks and balances.
After all, if something goes wrong with the people working here, these six ministers will be the first to be punished..."
After Yue Fei finished speaking, he saw everyone looking at him, and his face suddenly turned red. Then he quickly bowed to Zhao Huan and said that he was lying.
Then he retreated into the corner again.
But this time, Li Gang and others were smiling.
"Yes, yes, Pengju has become more and more into the state."
"You gentlemen, you have given me a reward..."
"Hey, what kind of husband will there be after today? I'm afraid we will have to enter the six divisions and start over."
"Ahem..." Zhao Huan coughed lightly and continued, "In that case, then merge Dali Temple into the Ministry of Punishments, merge Taichang Temple Guanglu Temple and Honglu Temple into the Ministry of Rites, and merge Taipu Temple into the Ministry of Rites. It was merged into the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Hanlin Academy was merged into the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites was deprived of the responsibility for imperial examinations.
Only the first three years of imperial examination responsibilities are left, and the rest will be rotated by various ministries! "
"So, so good!"
