The court meeting of the Great Song Dynasty was lengthy and long, which was the result of the Zhao family's differentiation of the prime minister's power, the power of the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty has been "divided into three parts of the world", the privy envoy has mastered the military power in the hands of the prime minister, the three envoys have mastered the financial power, and the governor's political affairs have further divided the administrative power in the hands of the prime minister.

In the end, the privy envoys, the governors, and the three envoys were all responsible to the emperor, so there was a situation where the court meeting took turns to perform things, but even if the court meeting dragged on for a long time, Zhao Zhen would not cancel the restrictions on the power of the minister, and the court meeting should still be carried out.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the military power has been completely owned by the emperor, and in order to suppress the generals, the improvement of the status of the civil servants is inevitable, and now it is time to weaken the power of the minister, Zhao Zhen will naturally not be soft.

As the emperor, Zhao Zhen, no matter how much he compromised, he had to hold the administrative power and the military power in his own hands, he didn't trust anyone, only believed in himself, but in order to continue the correctness of this emperor's dictatorship, Zhao Zhen must make his heir a Ming monarch like himself.

Therefore, Zhao Xu, the crown prince, also has to participate in the court meeting, of course, he can't participate in the open, but he is also in this hall, Zhao Zhen opened a warm pavilion in the Qianyu Palace, in order to give his son the opportunity to learn and observe the government.

But Zhao Zhen will never let his son appear before the courtiers to participate in the court's politics, the deep meaning is to let him interfere with the courtiers, and the object of anyone's allegiance is only the emperor, even the crown prince and the prince cannot interfere with the emperor's decision and affect the courtiers' sidelines.

There are many lessons in history, the most important point is that Zhao Zhen knows what to let go of, let his son be in charge, he will not firmly grasp the power in his hands, until he dies, he will implement the excessive power, in this way, wouldn't it be to send Zhao Kuo, who talks on paper, to the throne of God?

In his opinion, this is irresponsible to the Great Song Dynasty, irresponsible to the people, and irresponsible to his son.

The Great Dynasty will always pick up urgent matters and ask the emperor to instruct, and the rest of the government affairs can be returned to the public office to deal with, and some need to be sparse on the emperor, and those who do not need to ask the emperor will be sent to Zhongshu Province, which is the normal political operation of an empire.

Zhao Zhen's habit is to deal with state affairs during the great court meeting, which is very efficient, such as the current imperial court, although the summer tax in the affected places is exempted, even if the people harvest grain, they do not have to pay taxes, but they can buy and sell freely.

So Zhao Zhen issued an order: "Order all localities to close their positions, buy summer grain from relief warehouses, and supplement the expenses of various places with commercial taxes." ”

Bao Zheng, the third envoy, said: "Your Majesty, the commercial tax has not been collected yet, and if you can't pay it at this time, I am afraid that you will lose the trust of the court." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and said: "In this way, after paying the commercial tax, after passing the decree, you must not slack off!" ”

The envoys of the Goryeo mission secretly watched at the gate of the side hall, they really wanted to see what the Great Song Dynasty would be like, and what was the difference between it and Goryeo, even Kim Shin Kwon, who was the main envoy, stepped forward to snoop.

At this time, they don't care about any face and prestige, the inner servants on the side will naturally not stop them, in their opinion, there are no guards guarding the door, these Koreans are free, there is no need to restrict them, not to mention these people at the door and constantly inhale, such a spectacle is rare in the palace, and it is really ridiculous......

And Zhao Zhen's series of treatments were very surprised in the eyes of the Goryeo mission, they really couldn't imagine how much the commercial tax of the Great Song Dynasty could have, and they could actually buy such a large amount of summer grain produced by the people from all over the world.

Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty had not interacted for decades, and the degree of understanding was not as good as that of the Liao Dynasty, which had adopted a closed policy towards Goryeo for so many years, in order to fear that Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty would resume their vassal relationship again.

At the beginning, the Liao Dynasty was quite laborious in the Great Song Dynasty's "help" to make Goryeo completely break off diplomatic relations with the Great Song Dynasty, and there was no contact between the two countries for decades, even if Zhao Zhen led the Great Song Dynasty to become stronger and stronger, the Liao Dynasty had long blocked the news from Goryeo.

Only the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty would describe the current appearance of the Great Song Dynasty when they went to Goryeo to buy and sell, and the Goryeo people felt that this was deliberately exaggerating, and the Great Song in their eyes was still the Great Song Dynasty that was almost destroyed by the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Dynasty......

The blockage of the news made the vast majority of the Goryeo people not know the truth, and this was deliberately done by the lord of Goryeo, first, he did not want the Khitan people to know, in fact, Goryeo had already understood the outside world, and came to avoid letting the courtiers and the people fall into fear of the Central Plains Dynasty again.

As Zuocheng, Kim Shin-kwan was a "close minister of the Son of Heaven" in Goryeo, and the Great Song Dynasty he knew was completely different from others, which was why the King of Goryeo would send him as an envoy.

Compared with the Great Song Dynasty, the court meeting of Goryeo can not be compared, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is right, in Goryeo is indeed the outer king and the inner emperor, but after seeing the court meeting of the Great Song Dynasty and the majesty of the emperor, Jin Shenquan smiled slightly bitterly, although they are both emperors, but there is a big difference between the two.

The repeated exclamations of the members of the mission made Jin Shenquan's face slightly red, and his expression was quite embarrassed, in fact, when they came ashore from Dengzhou, they were amazed by everything in the Great Song Dynasty, the stretching highways, the tall cities, the prosperous markets, and the well-informed young people, all of which told them about the strength of the Great Song Empire.

The grandeur of Beijing City is even more than they have ever seen before, the city several feet high seems to be up to the sky, turning his head to look at the window, not to mention the fate of the mission, even as the envoy himself was stunned by this huge imperial city.

He once followed the mission to the Great Song Dynasty, but at that time, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty was still in the city of Tokyo, and now it is in the city of Beijing, and the two imperial palaces can be described as earth-shaking changes.

When Jin Shenquan came back to his senses, he saw the slightly disdainful eyes of the palace attendants, looking at a group of entourages who were discussing this and that of the Great Song Dynasty, obviously these are normal things in the eyes of others.

With a dry cough, Jin Shenquan spoke: "Quickly return to the position, what kind of system does the arch watch become?" ”

The envoy's entourage also realized the inappropriateness of this move, and quietly looked at the palace attendants of the Great Song Dynasty, although there was nothing unusual on the surface, but in his heart he was afraid that he had already smiled, and several people gathered together in embarrassment, waiting for the emperor's summons.

I don't know how many times, when everyone in the Goryeo mission only felt hungry, someone came to summon them, and the person who came was Chen Tong, who knew the inner court: "Goryeo mission, Your Majesty Xuan'er is waiting to meet you!" ”

Jin Shenquan hurriedly got up and said, "The foreign minister obeys the order!" This senior official is bothering you to lead the way...... "After that, he followed him with the general attaché of the mission, Chen Tong was uncomfortable for a while, turned around and walked out of the side door of the side hall and looked back: "Hurry up and follow, forbidden in the heavy land, no watching!" ”
