At the same time as the melee in the city ended, the attack of the Jin army outside the city also completely failed, neither waiting for Zhao Chenggong nor Xiao Qingli to join the sticky Han, and still failed to shake the Bianliang City that had blocked him for half a year......

And he also died more than three thousand elites.

Almost all of the death squads that were his vanguard were folded under Bianliang City, with five thunder guns, bowl guns, three-eyed guns, ballistas, bed crossbows, counterweight trebuchets and even rockets and 10,000 enemies, all kinds of hot and cold weapons that could be called powerful over and over again ravaged those daredevils who had to take off their heavy armor in order to cross the moat. These carefully selected strong warriors, who were mostly Jurchen veterans, fought with weapons on the battlefield that did not suit them and spanned at least a hundred years, or even seven or eight hundred years earlier than the original history, and fell on both sides of the muddy moat in batches, staining the deep trench called the Hulong River with their blood, and dyeing the summer river with a depth of more than a zhang.

But Sticky Han is really unwilling!

What's more, he doesn't know what the situation in the city is like, Zhao Gou has completely failed? Or did you break your promise? Or is it in a stalemate? Or even fighting?

He doesn't know anything!

The towering city walls blocked his view at all, so that he did not know the situation in the city at all, the only thing he could know was that the fire and smoke were extinguished, and it seemed that the situation was stabilizing, but he really didn't know who would win and who lost, so he stopped under Bianliang City again, waiting for the exact news in the city in the heat of summer, in the suffering of lack of materials, or waiting for him to get closer and closer to the end.

And the city ......

"Sven sweeps the floor!"

Uncle Zhang rode his horse at night and sighed in the chaotic streets.

In front of him was a surging crowd.

In the applause of countless men, women, and children, a large number of militia members escorted several civilian officials past, those familiar faces of him can be said to be unrecognizable at this moment, and the faces that were beaten with crooked eyes and slanted mouths were full of horror, and one of them had been stripped off of his official uniform, and the gauze hat was picked up by a militiaman, and only one of the hat wings remained, turning on the top of the bamboo gun like a toy.

"What do you have to do with us?"

Liu Yanqing, who was traveling with him, said: "Once the son of heaven is a courtier, of course, the new monarch will use a new minister to succeed to the throne, these guys dare to be in the same party as the reverse structure, so naturally they have to be ready to be beheaded." ”

"How could the imperial court ever kill a scholar?"

Uncle Zhang said.

That's true.

In the Great Song Dynasty, civil officials were almost never killed for their crimes, even if they were capital crimes, especially after the civil officials completely controlled the government in the later period, an unspoken rule had been formed, that is, no matter what crime an official committed, he had to find ways to reduce his sentence, even if the death penalty was at most exile. In the later period, it was already difficult for the emperor to kill a few civil officials, and the entire civil official system would oppose it, Fan Zhongyan once defended a criminal civil official to avoid death, and his reason was that he could not set a precedent for the court to kill civil officials, and finally even simply told the emperor that there were no rules for killing civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty.

But now......

Uncle Zhang looked at the guillotine standing in front of the palace and sighed.

"Then from now on!"

Liu Yanqing said with a sneer.

It is said that he is the number one warlord in Bianliang City at this time, except for the national teacher, not only as the deputy commander of the Imperial Camp Division, the eldest son is in charge of an army, and the third son also controls a team with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Qinwang Army system.

That's definitely having a say.

A few of them can be said to have their own ghosts into the palace and into the Daqing Palace.

At this time, there were very few officials in Bianliang City who were qualified to go to this hall, even if they added the generals who were specially summoned, they still looked empty, and the ten-year-old little emperor Zhao Chen was sitting on the throne, and the twenty-five-year-old queen mother was also sitting on his right, and the mother and son were in the court together......

It is said that this scene in the Great Song Dynasty is very common.

The Queen Mother of the Great Song Dynasty also has a glorious tradition, such as Gao Taotao, Liu E, even the great painters are pushed up to the Queen Mother, and these Queen Mothers are doing a good job, whether Gao Taotao or Liu E can be regarded as the master of the master, at least they are much stronger than the great painters, even in the Southern Song Dynasty, there is a tradition of women in charge, such as Li Dao's daughter. So neither Zhang Shuye nor Liu Yanqing had any special feelings about this scene, but what made them stunned was that at the same time as they walked into the main hall, the national teacher also walked into the main hall with a large group of people who looked like ordinary people, but not from the main gate, but from the back, so not only them, but other civil and military officials in the hall were also stunned.

"National teacher, who is this?"

Li Ruoshui asked.

He is one of the few civil officials who survived, originally scolded the Jin soldiers in history and was killed, in the words of the Jin people, the death of the Liao State, dozens of righteous people, and Li Shilang was the only one in the Southern Dynasty.

"Li Qing, this is called by the old body."

The queen mother said: "There is a new chaos in the city, in order to stabilize the people, it is necessary to make the situation of the upper authorities be issued, so that the people and the court are clear to each other, so the national teacher is invited to invite some elders to attend the court meeting. ”

Well, this is another moth of the national teacher.

Bianliang City has actually been controlled by the militia or the citizens, those who are in the local imperial camp army, those militia teams that can be reconvened at any time, have absolute control, but the problem is that because of identity restrictions, they cannot exercise their own power, they are all civilians and the lower level of the army, and it is impossible to participate in any decision-making, at most through Yang Feng's channel. But this is not in line with Yang Feng's purpose, what Yang Feng wants is for the citizens to really gain the power to participate in decision-making, so he must first send the representatives of the citizens to the court, and he instigated Zhu Lian to introduce a group of representatives selected by him into the court in the name of facilitating the situation, even if it is just to attend, it will open a breakthrough.

As for the next step......

"Queen Mother, this is not in line with the ancestral system, right?"

Uncle Zhang said.

At present, the civil official system is headed by him and Li Ruoshui, the latter was previously the secretary of the ministry, and he had been appointed as the governor of Kaifeng Mansion before, and he was a privy envoy, and other high-level civil officials who escaped this catastrophe are Liu Tao, and although he is a famous peacemaker, the former prime minister Tang Ke, who is more loyal to Zhao Huan, did not participate in the coup d'état, and was also summoned to the court at this time.

In short, since the four of them, there are less than twenty civil officials in this court, and there are a lot of military generals.

"But the ancestral system is not forbidden."

Yang Feng said.

Uncle Zhang quickly shut up.

There is no need to dwell too much on this kind of trivial matter, in other words, he knows very well that his mission today is to fight for power for civil officials, not to restore the past, but at least it can't be bullied, those generals are all gearing up, Liu Yanqing was already very arrogant just now, how could the generals dare to speak like this in the past.

And Yang Feng is the de facto boss of the court, there is no doubt about this, and he cannot be offended in such a trivial matter.

That's it, those old people......

In other words, this title is a bit unfortunate, there is no old one in it, they are all middle-aged people, one by one, standing behind the ministers with their hands crossed in an orderly manner, just like a group of supervisors, watching the meeting between the military generals and the queen mother's official family.

The content of the meeting was simple.

Reform of the imperial court.

To be precise, it is the reform of the official system, at this time has not been imprisoned, or simply the original court officials who are dead do not exist, those systems in the past must not be maintained, even if they are temporarily improvised they must be reformed, and this reform has been authorized by the Queen Mother The national teacher, the national teacher has also come up with a reform plan, and today is to discuss whether to follow this plan, and this plan also means that the future power center of the Great Song Dynasty, those reformed official positions have to be fought for.

"First of all, the cabinet system."

Yang Feng stood beside the Queen Mother, holding a stack of manuscripts in his hand and said: "Set up one person in the cabinet, the old man is not welcome, the second assistant two, Zhang Shuye, Liu Yanqing, Zhang Shuye and the secretary of the ministry, Liu Yubing, the remaining four of the six are Tang Ke, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Li Ruoshui, the secretary of the criminal department, Sima Pu, the secretary of the criminal department, and the old man of the Ministry of Works. ”

The ministers looked at each other, obviously satisfied with the result, after all, they were all their people.

"Abolish the Privy Council."

Yang Feng then said: "The Generalissimo's Mansion will be re-established, the Generalissimo's Mansion will control the soldiers and horses of the world, all military power will be attributed to the Generalissimo's Office, the army's mobilization, training, operations, appointments and dismissals will all be under the Generalissimo's Office, the official family will be the generalissimo, the old man will act as the deputy marshal for military affairs, the Generalissimo's Office will set up the General Staff Department, the General Logistics Department, the General Armament Department, and the General Training Department, which will manage the operational logistics equipment and training respectively, and each of the four departments will have a chief officer and one person in the ......cabinet."

"What is the Ministry of War doing?"

Liu Tao was stunned.

"Reserves, conscription and some trivial matters, in the future, the forbidden army and the township soldiers will be abolished, and the Great Song National Defense Force will be reorganized, and the reserves will be organized and trained in the local area, that is, all young and middle-aged people who meet the conditions will be transferred to the reserves, and the government soldiers will be trained at leisure, and the soldiers of the National Defense Force will be recruited from the reserves."

Yang Feng said.

"Conscription and not conscription?"

Liu Tao said.

"Conscription is the same as military salaries, and besides, the recruitment of soldiers in the imperial court is not the same as catching strong men?"

Yang Feng said.

Liu Tao stopped talking, and the other ministers didn't speak, this guy made it clear that he had a monopoly on power, but no one had the ability to oppose it at this time, so he had to shut up, and they still had an advantage in the cabinet, but at this time there were few people, and Li Gang and Zong Ze would definitely have a position in the cabinet when they joined in the future, so they would have an advantage.

The generals also shut up.

Their positions have long been decided, the Imperial Battalion Division Army and the Qinwang Army have been reorganized into the National Defense Army, and the commanders of each army are theirs, and the four departments of the Generalissimo's Office are also military, which are all official positions with real power, not to mention that there will be town guards in various places in the future, and the entry of the chief officers of the four departments into the cabinet plus the second auxiliary means that their military system occupies five seats in the cabinet, and the civilian officials only have seven seats, but at present, only five are in hand, and the national division is actually closer to the military.

"Are you all in any opinion?"

Yang Feng said.

Wenwu shook his head together.

"Then let's come to the next item, level three, uh, no, it should be the Four Peoples Assembly."

Yang Feng said.
