After sealing the prime minister, the next step must be the privy envoy, the prime minister has been decided, then there is no suspense about this privy envoy, it must be none other than Richie, and the result is exactly like this. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter)

Then dozens of officials were sealed in a row, these officials were promoted by exception, most of them were children of poor families, because there was no backstage, so although he was full of Jinglun and obtained the Jinshi, but he has not been allowed to reuse, the advantage is cheap, pragmatic, and diligent, and the disadvantage is that he lacks experience and status, the key is that Zhao Kai does not want to continue to use those old fritters, what he needs is a new force, and cultivate his own set of political systems.

After the canonization of officials, Zhao Kai successively promulgated decrees to reduce and reduce officials, and the money was basically aimed at those above the fourth grade.

As for the reduction of officials, don't look at the front has swept away so many officials, but this is far from enough, in the Song Renzong period, the number of officials has reached 17,000, and in the Song Huizong period, due to the traitorous ministers to control the government, the phenomenon of buying and selling officials is very strict, the number of officials is the highest in history, reaching more than 23,000 people, and there are about 5,000 officials in the central government alone.

The Tang Dynasty had only thirty or forty Jinshi in each session, and the Song Dynasty had four or five hundred people at every turn, which was like playing, and the territory of the Song Dynasty was only half of that of the Tang Dynasty, so you can imagine how dense this official was.

Zhao Kai knew very well in his heart that his sudden ascension to the throne was an excellent opportunity, if he did not take advantage of this turmoil at this time, he relied on the military authority in his hand to deter. It will be even more difficult in the future to quickly straighten out the government and the opposition. So he made up his mind that he must strike hard and cut officials on a large scale, especially if the central government wants to set an example, he must control the number of people within 500, which is one-tenth of the previous one, but this time he will not target people, but will change the official position.

The Song Dynasty had a very large number of official positions. An official brings several deputy envoys, and there are many, many ministry officials and Lu officials, these officials basically have nothing to do, they just eat and drink all day long, read newspapers, and the other is a false position, such as the official title of "Langzhong of the Ministry of Officials, Bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and Zhikaifeng Mansion". The officials are officials, the Longtu Pavilion is the bachelor, and the Kaifeng Mansion is the actual position, and the first two are empty titles, and such high-ranking officials are full of central and local power institutions, resulting in a very bloated official body.

So Zhao Kai was in the decree. announced a large-scale reduction of official positions, abolished all those who were useless, and those officials were naturally laid off, and he even used the royal family as an example, the former royal relatives and relatives. You can be an official at the age of seven or eight, but now you can't. It is strictly stipulated that one must be at least 16 years old before he can become an official in the court, and he must first go to a remote place to take up his post for training, and then transfer back to Beijing after a few years.

The royal family is like this, so the son of the prime minister and privy envoy is even more needless to say, and he must no longer be like before, relying on the blessing of Lao Tzu, relying on the policy of "grace and shade", and being rewarded as an official as soon as he was born.

One of the most critical is the reform of the three divisions.

In fact, the reform of the three divisions was not uncommon in the Song Dynasty, usually divided and combined, with three envoys for a while, three envoys for a while, and three envoys for a while, and three envoys for salt and iron, degree branches, and households.

And now Zhao Kai has once again merged the three into one, appointed Zheng Yi as the three envoys, in charge of the three divisions, and then set up three deputy envoys of salt and iron, degree branch, and household capital, the reason why he did this is nothing more than hoping to quickly recover the financial power.

Many people have already expected it.

Among them, the happiest is the Zheng family, this prodigal son not only turned back to the shore, but also became the third envoy, Guy Li Qi and Qin Hui are all fighting alone, Li Qi originally had a Bai family as a backing, but now he has been abolished, there is no family power, so the Zheng family also took office with Zheng Yi, and became the top family in Tokyo.

With this series of personnel arrangements, a new pattern has emerged, Wuzi is still a three-legged situation, although Li Qi and Qin Hui have great personal power, but the Zheng family has family support, and it is still very balanced.

The biggest beneficiary of equilibrium is definitely the emperor.

This made the ministers have to admire Zhao Kai's methods.

After the announcement, Li Qi suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has taken care of a lot, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to serve as an economic envoy, and I hope that the emperor can arrange another person to serve as an economic envoy." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were surprised.

The position of economic envoy is now a sweet spot, but no one dares to fight the idea of this economic envoy, because they know that they do not have this ability, looking at the government and the opposition Li Qi is suitable alone, in other words, although Li Qi wears many hats, but only this economic envoy is the most stable, but he wants to hand over the position of economic envoy, which makes people look like flowers in the fog.

"Aiqing has a point." Zhao Kai nodded and said, "Then you have a better candidate." ”

But anyone who has a little experience, seeing that Zhao Kai is so light, he agreed, knowing that this must be an internal decision, so he chose to be silent, but those who have just been promoted do not understand these ways, and many people have stood up, and they all agree that this position is none other than Li Qi, and the rest are not qualified at all.

At this time, Qin Hui suddenly stood up and said: "Although the Jin soldiers have retreated and signed an alliance with my Great Song Dynasty, the situation between our country and the surrounding countries has not yet stabilized. ”

The implication is that Li Qi should be a consultant, take care of the overall situation, and formulate strategic guidelines, because the new law still depends on him to promote.

Those newly appointed courtiers, seeing that Qin Hui also stood up to express their position, also understood that this matter was not so simple, and raised their heads one after another to watch these bigwigs perform.

Zhao Kai snorted, agreed, and said to Li Qi: "Li Qi, do you have any opinions?" ”

Li Qi hurriedly said: "Weichen has no opinion. ”

Zhao Kai asked again: "But who should be the economic envoy?" ”

The ministers are you looking at me, and I am looking at him. It's just that no one dares to volunteer to stand up, after all, this position is too important. If they weren't completely sure, they wouldn't dare to be the first bird.

Zheng Yi secretly glanced at the rest of the people, and muttered to himself, if I name that person, will I become the target of everyone! couldn't help but feel worried again, and after hesitating for a while, he still stood up, as a gentleman. How can he lose his trust in others, and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a good candidate." ”

Unexpectedly, he was even persuaded by the Zheng family. Zhao Kai remained silent and said, "Oh? Come on. As everyone knows, Li Qi just persuaded Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi said: "This person is the wife of the privy envoy, Bai Qiannuo. ”

An uproar ensued.

The ministers all looked at Zheng Yi with wide eyes, as if they were looking at a madman, even if they were from the Zheng family. I was also surprised.

Zhao Kai frowned and said, "Bai Qiannuo? She's a woman, huh? ”

Zheng Yi said: "Weichen knows, but the emperor asked the best candidate, and did not specify the men and women. Bai Qiannuo is the best candidate, as for whether it is suitable or not, the minister will not dare to say anything. ”

is worthy of Zheng Erlang, who will take advantage of loopholes better than me, and he also put the responsibility on Zhao Kai. Richie laughed darkly. He is obviously playing a literal game with Zhao Kai, anyway, his task is to throw out this issue. He doesn't have to worry about the rest.

Chen Dong suddenly stood up and said: "Although what Envoy Zheng said is reasonable, Bai Qiannuo does have a good understanding of the new law, and he has a deep understanding of the economic concept of the privy envoy, I am also ashamed of myself, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best candidate, but the problem is that Bai Qiannuo is a woman after all, and I have never had a precedent for a woman to be an official in the Song Dynasty, so please think twice." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, many people immediately stood up to oppose it, among these people, a small number of them opposed it because of their old-fashioned thinking, but most of them are still for the sake of profit, to put it in detail, it is for the interests of men, this is a patriarchal society, how can we let women ride on our heads, this precedent can not be opened.

Zhao Kai nodded, but he didn't say much, he had already said it anyway, I can approve it, but only if you Li Qi have to convince the ministers.

Qin Hui suddenly stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, strictly speaking, it is not uncommon for women to be officials in my dynasty. ”

Zhao Kai said: "Aiqing's words can confuse me, I don't remember that there was an example of a woman being an official in my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Qin Hui said: "In the process of repelling the Jin army this time, the Zhejia army and the Jin army fought a big battle in Yunjiabao. ”

Zhao Kai said: "I also heard about this battle, at that time, the Zhejia army was in danger, but fortunately, the second general led the troops to arrive, and only then did they repel the Jin soldiers." ”

"The fact that General Chong II was able to arrive in time is indeed the main reason, but there is one person among them, who also plays a vital role, if it weren't for her advice, the Zhejia army might not be able to wait for the arrival of reinforcements."

"Who is this person?"

"It's the third daughter of the late veteran general Zhe Keshi, who frightened the Western Xia soldiers, Zhe Meiyue."

As soon as Zhao Kai heard the name of Zhe Keshi, he said with a look of reverence: "The prestige of the old general, I have been like thunder since I was a child, and I have also heard of the contribution made by Zhe Meiyue in this anti-gold campaign, and I have also heard of it. ”

Qin Hui said: "What the emperor said is that in fact, in the Zhejia army, women have long been used as generals, and there are many female famous generals, which is no news in my Great Song Dynasty, since women can command the army and go into battle to kill the enemy, then why can't they go to the palace as officials?" ”

As soon as he said this, the ministers were silent for a while, because this is a fact, many emperors of the Song Dynasty appreciated the female generals of the Zhe family, and even met with many female generals of the Zhe family, although they were not given a formal official position, but they were given a qiē treatment of the official position, and within the Zhejia army, the female generals of the Zhe family have real military power, and the soldiers have to respect them as generals, and any Song person with a conscience has admiration for the women of the Zhe family.

You must know that military attaches are more bloody and masculine than civilian officials, and women can be generals, so can't they be civilian officials, this is too unreasonable.

In fact, before Zhu Xi in the Southern Song Dynasty, the status of women in the Song Dynasty was still very good, I am afraid it was lower than Wu Zetian's time, and the women of the Song Dynasty couldn't help but play everywhere, go out, compete with those talented people, study in private schools, and be able to go into battle to kill the enemy.

There is no bullshit saying that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented".

Historical celebrities like Sima Guang once said: "No one can fail to learn." Is there any difference between men and women? ”

This makes a lot of sense, so why can't women learn it?

It is precisely because of this that a number of outstanding female representatives such as Li Qingzhao, Zhu Shuzhen, Wu Shuji, Liang Hongyu, and Zhe Taijun emerged in the Song Dynasty. Even if it is Master Li, it is worth talking about.

It was only later that with the deterioration of Confucianism, the Three Platforms and Five Constants were put on the line, and women's thoughts began to be imprisoned. Like the Qing Dynasty, there must not be a talented woman like Li Qingzhao who worries about the country and the people.

"You have a point."

Zhao Kai said, suddenly looked at Li Qi, and said, "Li Qi, this Bai Qiannuo is your wife, shouldn't you say a few words?" ”

Li Qi was slightly stunned and said, "Back to the emperor, Weichen is just thinking about a problem. ”

Zhao Kai said a little depressed: "Let's hear it." He knew that the rhythm had been controlled by Richie, and that it had become more than half of the story.

Li Qi said: "Weichen is thinking, when the Jin soldiers went south, many ministers fled south, and Zhang Bangchang, Wu Min and others chose to humiliate and sue for peace, betraying the country, as for Nie Hao and others, it is even more shameful to talk about, they are not only men, but also the pillars of my dynasty, but what is the first choice they made in the face of the great disaster of the country, on the other hand, Li Qingzhao, Liang Hongyu and other women, one is willing to live and die with Tokyo, how many impassioned articles have been expressed, inspiring the people, For the defense of the capital has made great contributions, one is on the Yellow River, and the golden soldiers who fought fell into the water, we think that our men should be ashamed of this, what I want to say is, if there are only two candidates for the prime minister, one is Li Qingzhao and one Li Bangyan, who will you choose? ”

This is a typical Richie question, and no one dares to answer it, because no matter how you answer, you are wrong!

It's kind of your knowledge. Li Qi smiled secretly in his heart, and said again: "Although it is said that the virtuous do not avoid relatives, but Bai Qiannuo is my wife, I am really ashamed to recommend, if you can have a better candidate, then I will also raise my hand in favor, but if not, it depends on whether you think that the interests and development of the country are important, or the dignity of men zhòng, but I think that dignity is obtained by your own hands, not because of your ass - oh no, gender determined." ”

It's all said like this, and you're still ashamed? Zhao Kai expressed strong disdain for Li Qi.

Qin Hui immediately said: "Weichen thinks that what the privy envoy said is very reasonable, let Bai Qiannuo be the economic envoy, one can reflect the emperor's thirst for talent, if a woman is talented, she can be reused by the emperor, not to mention a man." As long as you have the ability, no matter where you come from, you can be reused, which will definitely win the favor of the poor people in the world; Second, it can also inspire the world's scholars, why such an official position, the whole country, only one woman is suitable for the role, which has to make us men embarrassed, should reflect well, this can also be a good promotion of the economics of the privy envoy, so that more people can invest in it, for my Great Song Dynasty to cultivate a group of novel talents, now my Great Song Dynasty is very lacking in this kind of talent; Third, the imperial court is now short of talents, and in extraordinary times, when extraordinary means are used, they cannot be confined to one pattern, and when they make drastic moves, appointing a woman as an official is also required by the situation, not for other reasons. ”
