Chapter 831: The Three Courtyards of Civil and Military Affairs

Wen Yanbo said: "Can't you do it? ”

Answering the question, Zheng Lang still replied: "Yes, unless the people are expropriated arbitrarily, if that is the case, I have at least ten ways to increase the national finances, and immediately make up for the deficit, but can I do it?" If we can't forcibly expropriate and extort money, whether it is tea, alum, and iron, vinegar, ink, paper, wood, etc., because of the small profits, we must increase many officials and petty officials, as well as miscellaneous expenses, and not harsh the people may not necessarily make profits for the country, but will lose money, and bring inconvenience to the people. ”

Only one group of people will benefit, and the magnates will increase the same large gains. As for the people, they are even more bitter.

"Xingzhi, in addition to restructuring and reducing troops, what are the strategies for increasing sources and reducing expenditure?"

"I haven't thought of it yet."

"If Xingzhi thinks of it, I will cooperate, and when the country is in danger, survival is in this instant." Wen Yanbo said.

"Okay."

The wine and food came up, the food was silent, in short, in this meeting, Wen Yanbo extended some olive branches in order to protect himself, but the sincerity was far from enough. Zheng Lang also released some kindness, but he didn't say it in his heart. It's far less intimate than when the emperor cooperates.

In this regard, Zheng Lang was not too disappointed.

That time is not that time. At that time, Wen Yanbo's heart path was different from this time's heart path. This way of thinking has led to his style of acting.

More and more officials are being recalled to the capital.

Zheng Lang once remembered a sentence that revolution is not a dinner party, not a fuss, not so elegant, so painting and embroidery, so polite, revolution is a riot, a class overthrows a class and a class violently.

If you don't fully approve it, what will you do after overthrowing it, the old magnates will go down. Soon a new magnate was created. Or stuck in an endless loop. And Zheng Lang is thinking carefully. China's 5,000-year-old history has been in this strange circle, and although it has improved for a while, it is only for a while. For a long time, he is still struggling and sinking in this strange circle.

Zheng Lang didn't want to support that class either.

From this sentence, he only saw two meanings, one was the cruelty of reform, and the rule of Huang You could only be said to be reform. It's not about reform, it's cruel to be reformed.

Secondly, it is not a struggle between one person and another class.

So these months have been messy.

The overall idea is only known to a few people, Zhao Ji and Gao Taotao, plus Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, and his wife Cui Xian, just a few. 2,500 Beijing officials were delegated at once, and the positions of Beijing officials were seriously compressed, and even Zheng Lang led 1,500 Beijing officials, so he took over the current busy government officials. Create a sense of urgency. Let these 2,500 Beijing officials fight with local officials.

Take advantage of the temptation of deed shares, the sanction of the policy. The moralization of the Charity Society tempted a group of top elites to defect, allowing them to lead the middle and middle classes to fight against the stubborn group of top elites.

It's really messy down there.

But otherwise, this restructuring will not be successful, not only the restructuring but also the reform of the exemption law, commercial taxation, armor protection law, and so on.

March is coming to an end, and Zheng Lang is only then admonishing one thing.

The system of selecting officials under the ancestral family law was restored.

After Zhao Kuangyin carefully analyzed the reasons for the corruption of the Tang Dynasty, he came to a conclusion, that is, it was corrupted since Li Linfu. If there was no Li Linfu, there would be no story in the back series. This argument can't be said to be unreasonable, from the end of the Kaiyuan Dynasty to the early years of Tianbao, it was the time when the Tang Dynasty's national strength was at its strongest.

So the power of the prime minister was divided.

The three divisions were used to divide the prime minister's financial power, and the Privy Council and the three yamen divided the prime minister's military power.

Zhao Kuangyi still felt that it was not enough, and successively established the Beijing Dynasty Official Dispatch Institute (later merged with the Judge Yuan), the Beijing Dynasty Official Mo Survey Institute (soon renamed the Judge Yuan), and the Makushi Prefecture County Official Mo Survey Institute (later known as the Examination Academy). The Inquisitor's Court is responsible for the affairs of Shaoqing, invigilators, examinations, and annotations, and is divided into internal and external envoys, and two people are set up in the Inquisitor's Court, who serve as the governor of miscellaneous affairs in the name of the emperor, and there are a number of minor officials under the documents. The examination institute is in charge of the merits of the state and county officials, and the dethroned is in charge of the ministry of the ministry of the internal system, but it is a separate system from the internal system of the envoy department. These two courts are in charge of the officials of the capital and the civil servants of the prefectures and counties.

There is also a three-class courtyard.

The three classes of the court are impermanent, the civil officials are above the two systems, and the military ministers are above the envoys. There are subordinate officials, and there are eleven officials, and the public is not one hook and one hook officer, two people in the front, and seven people in the back. There are three responsibilities, responsible for counting the names of the envoys, examining the school and grinding the envoys, and appointing the envoys. To put it bluntly, it is to work with the Privy Council to elect and appoint military ministers of the Song Dynasty and relieve the Privy Council of the right to appoint military ministers.

The prime minister also has the right to elect officials, that is, the official department is Liu Neiquan, and the reason for the addition of the three courts is Tian Xi, and the upper performance criticized, now there is a division to command, and most of the holy decrees are taken from the Zazi (the prime minister's annotation is regarded as a holy decree), and the officials plan to annotate, and they must be introduced to the imperial court. ”

It means that the prime minister's selection of officials was passed casually. This is not right, it should be detailed with the internal circulation of the ministry, and then handed over to the emperor for approval, and then handed over to the two systems for deliberation and then written into a formal edict, so as to prevent the expansion of the relative power.

But this is unlikely, how many officials are there in the country, even when Zhao Kuangyi was elected, there were nearly 1,000 officials who were elected and deposed in a year, could it be that Zhao Kuangyi went to see them one by one? Yongzheng can't do it. Only then did the three courts of civil and military affairs appear, which constrained the power of the two governments to elect officials. When it is serious, the prime minister does not dare to make his own opinions.

Later, the brick family laughed and said that the Song Dynasty did this in order to centralize the imperial power, and could only let the emperor's cronies have the right to elect officials, and use this to set up the prime minister.

This is not true.

It is right to alternate the power of the prime minister, but the ministers of the three courts are the emperor's cronies, is the prime minister not the emperor's cronies, and use an enemy as the prime minister? It is not only the prime minister who is in the air, but officials at all levels have carried out strict overhead restraints, including the emperor himself, and there is also a prefix for the restoration. If the emperor's decree is not agreed to by the two systems, it cannot be called a holy decree, where does the centralized imperial power come from?

Zheng Lang is very much in favor of this.

The right thing is too terrifying, including Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, and other famous ministers have fallen at its feet. In the last years of Zhenzong, the functions of the three courts of civil and military affairs gradually lost their effectiveness, and the power of the prime minister was gradually further concentrated. Han Qi's basic function of the three hospitals was gone. Ouyang Xiu abolished the three major ministers in cursive writing that had not been approved by the two systems, and what kind of constraints did the three courts talk about!

At its peak, there were only two ministers left. Where did the two imperial governors serve as judges?

In history, Wang Anshi changed the law in order to centralize power. Simply carry out continuous restructuring. In the end, all three courts were attributed to the Ministry of Officials, and attribution to the Ministry of Officials was equivalent to re-attribution to the hands of the Prime Minister. After obtaining the entire power of electing officials, the power of the prime minister was further concentrated.

It is convenient for Wang Anshi to change the law, and it is also convenient for Sima Guang to abolish the law. Compared with Han Qi, it is more convenient to employ people and demote officials. started with a large-scale revenge, and finally gave Cai Jing dictatorship.

In the short term, once the functions of the three hospitals are restored, it will be detrimental to Zheng Lang. But in the long run, it's a good thing for the country. As long as it is not destroyed, even if the powerful lords like Han Qi and Cai Jing will lose half of their right to elect officials, and they can't use their cronies to take charge of various departments, so they can't dictate their words.

Zheng Lang also euphemistically used Han Qi's example to explain to Zhao Ji.

If the two-system system and the three-chamber system were not destroyed, and the power was small, the first emperor was confused and wanted Puyi. Han Qi can only face two outcomes, one is to follow Zhao Shu. One is to follow the official's proposal and persuade Zhao Shu. If it is the former, these mechanisms exist, and Han Qi will be deposed. In order to keep the phase from losing, Han Qi will definitely choose the second outcome under the strict supervision and restraint mechanism.

There are two variables in the second result, one is that Zhao Shu is annoyed and ashamed, and Han Qi is the prime minister, and stubbornly implements Pu Yi. Second, he was forced to choose to compromise due to the opposition of his ministers. The former result also seems impossible, as long as Han Qi dares to turn the tide, Han Qi still has huge prestige before the Puyi dispute, think about it, even Song Zhenzong dared to push directly to the front line, Empress Guo was killed inexplicably, can Zhao Shu successfully depose Han Qi with a perfect mechanism? First of all, it is impossible to get through the two systems.

The first emperor did not make mistakes and left more or less bad records in the history books. At least in the eyes of the people of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Shu was too frustrating to do this, and Zhao Wei couldn't argue.

The reputation of the first emperor is perfect, because of Han Qi's integrity, hundreds of officials will follow, officials will not collapse, Han Qi can also spare more energy to govern the country, will there be the current black holes and all kinds of serious malpractices? Is it true that Han Qi is a pure traitor? Don't talk about Han Qi, even Li Linfu wants to govern a good country without being harmed by his rights.

Zhao Ji and Gao Tao lost their minds when they heard it.

Didn't think about it at all.

Why does Gao Tao believe in Zheng Lang so much at this moment? It's not just that she compromised with her family and gave face, but these thoughts. It is impossible to say that it created a system for the Song Dynasty, but it is a benign system for the Song Dynasty for more than 300 years.

However, in the end, Zheng Lang also put forward a small condition, which could not be put forward at the beginning of the restructuring, and could only be proposed when the officials were cut almost equally. Otherwise, it will bring some trouble to the reform, not that the prime minister is not a close confidant of the emperor, but that it is possible that the officials of the three courts are not good enough to be cronies of the emperor, and they do not stand on the position of the emperor and the country, but stand on the position of scholars and magnates to make trouble for the reform.

The second thing is the right of the Chinese book.

When Zhao Kuangyi was emperor, he heard a report from the governor Kou Zhun that he commanded his subordinates without authorization in the name of Zhongshu Zazi, which immediately aroused his vigilance. Because Zhao Kuangyi had personal experience, Zhao Kuangyin once cultivated Zhao Kuangyi, and at the same time thought that Zhao Pu was meritorious and trusted Zhao Pu, so that Yu Tang Ti (Zhongshu Zazi) was better than his fate. In fact, Zhao Pu's dictatorship was almost similar to Zhang Juzheng's, and Zhao Kuangyi was pressed by Zhao Pu at that time. Later, Zhao Pu defected and assisted him to ascend to the emperor and become the prime minister again, but at this time, the rights of the prime minister were far less than the rights of the prime minister at that time.

Zhao Kuangyi linked the two things, thinking that Kou Zhun wanted to create a bad sign again, and quickly dismissed the deputy prime minister, and issued an edict: "From now on, the major event must be decreed, and the joint use of the note should also be performed before it can be implemented." ”

That is, if there is any major policy or example, it must be used to make an edict, otherwise the hundred officials do not need to pay attention to it, and this edict does not have to be approved by the emperor, that is, the prime minister will write the order and send it to the officials of the two systems, and after further deliberation by the officials of the two systems, the officials of the two systems think that it is right, and then write the edict. If there is a dispute, it will be handed over to the emperor for adjudication. If you think it's wrong, send it back directly, don't think about it, we won't pass it.

Remove half of the Prime Minister's decision-making power.

Even some small things must be agreed by the officials of the two systems before orders can be given to the subordinates.

Now that this system is gradually being destroyed, Zheng Lang will pick it up again, ignoring the latter one, and even trivial matters will be adjudicated by the officials of the two systems. So what else does the prime minister do? Moreover, the number of permanent officials of the two systems does not exceed 10. Can you get busy?

Two proposed. Everyone was dumbfounded.

It's not opposition, it's just the prime minister's rights that are lost. What do the prime ministers think? Zeng Gongliang has Fu Bi and Zheng Lang below, sitting in the position of the No. 1 prime minister like sitting on pins and needles, Wen Yanbo made Sima Guang and Wang Anshi laugh and make them crippled. There will be Tang Jie coming soon, what can you think? Zhao Luan doesn't care. Fu Bi didn't know what to think, but after the restructuring, many institutions that had been taken away by the East Mansion were returned to the West Mansion one by one, even if some rights were ceded. Xifu is still stronger than it used to be. Han Jiang is a staunch reformer, so naturally he will not oppose it. Shao Kang is making soy sauce, or only Lu Gongbi's mind is unpredictable, but Lu Gongbi is lonely, what can he do?

Besides, don't forget the friendship between Zheng Lang and the Lu family. Lu Yijian admired Zheng Lang the most before his death, and his younger brother was still Zheng Lang's student. And what can you say?

The prime ministers are not against it, and no one else is against it.

Why did Guan Jian say that the referee was almost cut? Zheng Xingzhi, you are also a little damaged.

Everyone looked at each other with strange faces.

See the expressions of the people. Zhao Ji couldn't help but want to laugh again, and forcibly held back. His face was swollen and red, and he said after a long time: "If you agree, Wang Jue, you can write an edict." ”

Anyway, in the past few years, after Zheng Lang's analysis like a crumb, Zhao Ji also felt that it was impossible to rectify it.

The mechanism of the three courts has been restored, Zheng Lang is also lazy, from the court to the central government after the restructuring, the officials want to change, you can do it yourself.

But in the end, Zheng Lang relaxed.

According to the situation of the Zhao Zhen Dynasty, Wang Anshi approved 15,000 and hundreds of officials, but in the end, Zheng Lang's hands were loosened, and the Beijing officials were loosened from Wang Anshi's 1,600 people to more than 2,600 people, and the local officials were also loosened to more than 16,500 people. It is almost nearly 4,000 more than the number approved by Wang Anshi. The number of officials as a whole reached 19,200, and it could not be increased any more, and the number of officials was once controlled at 15,000 and a few hundred at the time of Pang's origin, an increase of 4,000.

But the cuts were also ruthless, and the whole 5,800 officials were cut, and for this alone, almost a monopoly on salt was saved.

Among them, more than 1,600 were old, weak, sick and disabled, and were persuaded to quit one by one, and more than 800 were seriously cruel, greedy, or dark, and these people were directly and never hired. The remaining more than 3,000 officials were scattered to various academies to be gentlemen, or assigned to some big officials to study and reflect on the small officials. If you don't want to, you can also go home and retire in advance, and when you go home, don't expect the court to hire you again. Which one to go back? And Zheng Lang slept in Zhongshu for almost half of this time, not only after the officials below reviewed it layer by layer, but also through his final review. Not 10,000 officials, but 5,000 people, except for the old, sick and disabled group, it can be said that all of them have evil deeds or serious inaction.

You can also brush a few thousand more people, and if you really think that you can brush up unqualified officials, at least half of them can be brushed. In the end, Zheng Lang endured it. But also issued an edict, this restructuring is not the ultimate reform, just to reduce the controversy to make concessions, the imperial court is still redundant, for example, the Beijing officials are very busy during this time, 1,500 people will take care of it, why did it become 2,600 Beijing officials? This is a concession also.

In the end, the official officials of the imperial court could not exceed 18,000.

If you don't work hard, you will continue to brush in the future.

Continue to give the officials below a sense of urgency, not only will there be more places in the end, but there may also be layoffs, and there are more huge officials below waiting for candidates, and the officials who have fallen down are also waiting for their positions. With a sense of competition, officialdom will no longer be as groggy as before.

The actual quota is indeed a lot, there is no way, this is the final compromise of the first wave of reform.

It was not only the officials who compromised, but also the hidden fields, fines and deeds.

The opposition was heavy, and some Beijing officials were disheartened, and I stopped being an official. Yes, since you take the initiative to resign, you will be allowed to return. The reason is very simple, it is not that these people are quiet, but that they do not want to offend the scholars and magnates. They continue to exist, and in the future, they will tacitly ignore the invasion of national interests by the elites, and this is the dynamic of their hearts.

The true words are really accurate, the Beijing officials who went down were scared, and the officials kept laying off one after another, which also made them feel kinky, and most of them worked hard. In fact, the largest number of Beijing officials were retained this time, and 1,100 of the 2,500 Beijing officials went down and eventually 1,100 returned, and more than 1,100 people filled the vacancies in various places. Only 200 officials were elected, and most of them were charged with corruption and bribery. For others to discover the choice of Quan. There are very few officials who really go down because of inaction.

One of them desperately. The investigation was ruthless, not only did he turn out the old background of almost all the officials below, but the amount of money confiscated reached more than 16 million, and Zheng Lang checked the origin of these funds one by one. In the end, more than 12 million yuan was returned.

But if a warning is given, it will not be an example, and if there is, the penalty will be doubled.

Calm the resentment of some powerful and powerful.

All kinds of petty officials and yamen were deposed and abolished even more. Reaching a crowd of 110,000 people, it also depends on it, if it is a strong man, etc., the officials need it, with them, it will be very convenient to serve, but the local rich do not like it, because the more these yamen, the more money they will bear for exemption from service. As for the small officials who have entered the core of power, although the officials cannot do without them. I don't necessarily like it much, and some places are strong. It can make the power of officials empty, but the elites like it. With these small officials, a family has the right to speak, and can use this right to benefit the family, even for the evil township. The petty officials themselves may not care about the dozens of salaries a year, but they can make profits for their families, can embezzle and accept bribes, and can enrich their own pockets, and their direct and indirect gray income is often no less than the income of officials.

This time, more than a quarter of the successive layoffs have been made.

Not only the strong men, but also the kind of powerful officials.

It is not as large as the major operation in the fourth year of Xianping, but it is also the second largest operation in the history of the Song Dynasty.

Originally, the money for the errand had nothing to do with the state, because the exemption law was broken, and the servants had to pay salaries, which also became one of the culprits in the settlement of the financial deficit. However, in the long run, the recovery of the exemption law has little to do with the state finances, but the pressure on the collection of exemption money in various localities has eased.

The number of hidden fields found out is even more amazing, although the eighty states have not touched those big states and mansions with many powerful people, but these eighty states can be regarded as the most fierce areas of the hidden fields in the Song Dynasty. More than 600,000 hectares of hidden fields were found before and after, and the number of hidden fields that forced the major main households to move automatically reached more than 800,000 hectares. However, many of the people who confessed to themselves were the main households outside the eighty states, some were afraid, some wanted to covet the name of the good household to obtain the share deed of the prisoner, and some were forced to confess to themselves within the eighty states.

For the first time, the area of cultivated land in the imperial court household register was restored to 4.7 million hectares. It is much worse than the 5.2 million hectares in the time of Song Zhenzong, and it should not be forgotten that the area of new cultivated land brought by Liangguang and Jinghu South Road, Jiangdong Wei, and the Farmland Water Conservancy Law is at least more than 800,000 hectares, and if you add the spontaneous reclamation of the people, it can be close to 1 million hectares. In other words, do not verify the actual cultivated area, only compared with the time of Song Zhenzong, so many hidden fields were found, and the national cultivated land area was virtually reduced by 1.5 million hectares.

On the one hand, according to the regulations, once the hidden fields are found out, all of them will be handed over to the informant or the households below the fifth grade for distribution, unless they take the initiative to confess, and now there are more than 600,000 hectares of hidden fields, Zheng Lang re-investigated, and returned nearly 300,000 hectares of hidden fields to the main households one after another. As for the rest, they are all stubborn, and if they are divided, they will be divided. In exchange for a silencing of opposition.

On the one hand, according to the inspiration of the Xifeng reform in history, an edict was issued that from now on, no household below the fourth class shall be allowed to be bought or purchased, nor shall it be bought or sold for cultivated land below the fourth class household. All transactions with the purchase and purchase of cultivated land can only be carried out in the third class and above.

And the purchase of this is a good intention, including the court or other uses, especially military silk and linen, the latter is the heaviest, Qing calendar and buy silk silk reached three million horses. Originally, the court's intentions were also good, and the price offered was fair. But the top gave a horse of silk money, and after the officials withheld it layer by layer, how much was left in the hands of the people? Therefore, it has become one of the heavy burdens of the poor people. Cai Jingshi directly turned and bought into a fixed tax and stripped the people.

It is impossible to buy it without thinking about it, but the households above the third class have the capital to protect themselves, and the officials dare not be too harsh. The ultimate goal of reform is not only for the prosperity of the country, but also for the people. This is the key to the difference between Zheng Lang and Wang Anshi's reforms.

In addition, strict measures have been taken, all officials who have purchased land from households below the fourth class will be dismissed, and those who purchase land from poor people below the fourth class will be returned to their households free of charge, and the money for the purchase will not be refunded.

This is the decree.

How much can be implemented, it is very doubtful. However, there is better than nothing, and it can effectively give more life to the poorest people.

In addition, using the area of cultivated land in the imperial court to compare, the investigation of the hidden field is not over, compared with the time of Zhenzong, the whole 1.5 million hectares are less, and the actual hidden field is at least more than 3 million hectares. I still have to check, I hope you can do it yourself. Take the initiative to hand it over.

There are also share deeds punished by the various prisons. Zheng Lang returned more. Almost ninety percent was returned, and of course I also made a warning, not as an example, if there is a next time. I don't want to return it. The rest of the more than 10% of the deed shares are stubborn, and the extremely bad owner can no longer make any concessions, so all of them are handed over to the banknote bank to deal with one by one. This alone has resulted in more than 8 million yuan.

In fact, the imperial court did not get much, and after more than 2,000 Beijing officials went down, nearly 7 million yuan were spent on business trips and other expenses. In fact, if it is possible, Zheng Lang is ready to return it all, but if he does so, he will lose his vigilance.

In short, in the end, Zheng Lang made a big compromise.

There is still a lot of opposition, but much less than before.

In addition, various changes that were previously implemented, such as the Exemption Law, the Kura Law, and the Armor Protection Law, were restored one by one.

Zheng Lang was tired to death. The first step of restructuring has been relatively perfect to achieve the goal in mind, that is, not to initiate reform in the future. As long as the reduction of troops is carried out, the Song Dynasty has been pulled up from the brink of death.

When May came, Zheng Lang closed the last book and said to Zeng Gongliang: "Ming Zhong, I can take a breath for the time being." ”

The matter of restructuring is over, where is the Third Yuan not over, and the reappointment of many officials, the workload is huge, and it still has nothing to do with Zheng Lang.

Zeng Gongliang said: "Take a breath." ”

This breath is not to let Zheng Lang rest, but to let Zheng Lang take a breath, you can't play anymore, and if you play again, some powerful people can ask assassins to assassinate you.

Zheng Lang's forehead, he had expected all these things a long time ago, so he put the reduction of troops and the reform of the military system in the second place, which was controversial, but it would not stir up the world like this time. The third step of reform will be next year. And one thing will happen next this year, Jingshi has had many earthquakes, and it cannot carry out the third step of reform, and it will inevitably be used as an excuse to attack itself.

Are the reforms working?

Almost all the officials in Beijing felt the change.

Decree.

In the past, when the decree was issued, it always felt stagnant, but after the restructuring, the decree was unimpeded, and there were some old Beijing officials who had served as relevant officials in the Zhao Zhen Dynasty.

Some smart people think of another word, the waste of redundant government that Zheng Lang repeatedly said.

Zheng Lang and Zeng Gongliang successfully completed the task and reported to Zhao Ji with several prime ministers.

Zhao Ji was also stroking his chest.

It's not easy.

He asked a few Zaizhi to sit down, looked at Zheng Lang and Zeng Gongliang, and then looked at Wen Yanbo and asked: "What kind of people are Ding Wei, Wang Qinruo and Chen Pengnian?" ”

Wen Yanbo was at a loss, not knowing what Zhao Ji meant by asking this sentence, did he mean that I was Ding Wei Wang Qinruo and others? didn't think about it, and said: "At that time, the construction of the palace was said to be open, and more than half of the ancestors' savings were consumed (referring to the savings of the inner treasury), and the treasury has not been fully enriched so far. ”

The answer is not what is asked, besides, what is the relationship between the sins created by Ding and the current treasury? More than 50 years have passed, and the imperial court doesn't know if it is 6 billion or 7 billion, even if Ding Wei bewitches Song Zhenzong to build some palaces, what can it be in the face of this huge expenditure?

Zhao Ji suddenly said: "Wang Dan is the prime minister, must he be without fault?" ”

Han Jiang said on the side: "Once you try the advice, the true sect will not obey, and you will not be allowed to go to the position." ”

"If something is wrong, how can you ask for blame?"

Song Zhenzong and Ding Wei did not do well, when they were persuaded, can they avoid keeping silent? At this point, everyone understands why Zhao Ji asked Wen Yanbo, you are an old minister of the Three Dynasties, in addition to opposing Zheng Lang's new commercial tax and admonishing Xiang Chuanfan to pacify the two capitals, what else have you done? This is Zhao Ji's dissatisfaction with Wen Yanbo's inaction.

Wen Yanbo's mouth opened, but he didn't say it in the end.

However, Zheng Lang faintly felt uneasy.

No, this kid still needs to be educated, and he is a little eager and frizzy. The restructuring is all over, and we must be quiet for a period of time to stabilize the good situation. Once Zhao Ji's question spreads today, the officials below will continue to mobilize the people in order to do what he likes. That's not beautiful. This sense of rhythm must be grasped well, and only when it is stabilized and let it bear the fruits of victory can there be a reason to carry out the next step of reform.

With so many faces, Zheng Lang won't say it, but if he has the opportunity, he can slowly talk about the stakes when he speaks.

Zhao Ji looked at Tang Jie again and asked, "Tang Qing, I want Wang Anshi to be the master of Hanlin, what do you think?" ”

At this time, Wang Anshi was already the third envoy, and he was not promoted when he became a knowledgeable system. But there is a very important trend, Zheng Lang, Han Qi and others are all famous in the northwest, so they became prime ministers. Or a small number of local officials, with a strong political reputation, are promoted to be deputy prime ministers. Before the appointment of a normal prime minister, one of the most important procedures must be passed, which is to go through two systems. First, the officials of the two systems often meet with the emperor, and the emperor can understand his person thoroughly. The second is that although the officials of the two systems do not decide matters, they will have a good foundation when they enter the two governments to decide on matters in the future.

In the past, Zhao Zhen once wanted to use Zhang Fangping and transfer him to the two systems, but due to the turmoil in Sichuan, he went down to save the emergency, and he was transferred back again, and he wanted to reuse it and let Ouyang Xiu get it.

Wang Anshi performed well in this restructuring and made great contributions, and was transferred to the two systems for no reason, but the drunkard's intention was not to drink.

Tang Jie replied: "It is difficult for An Shi to be a big responsibility. ”

"Isn't it literary? Is there not enough governance? Is menstrual technique insufficient? Zhao Ji asked rhetorically in a row.

"Your Majesty, after the minister arrived in the book, because of political affairs and An Shi often communicated, although his people are knowledgeable, but the mud is ancient, unrealistic, if you enter the two systems reluctantly, if Your Majesty has other meanings, it will bring many changes to the country." This is Tang Jie's response to Wang Anshi after he arrived in the middle book.

Of course, he knew that Wang Anshi was Zheng Lang's student and now an important arm. However, it is impossible to expect Tang Jie to bow his head to Zheng Lang, just do what he wants.

Wen Yanbo looked at Tang Jie blankly, he didn't gloat, but thought of another question, today the emperor is dissatisfied with himself, could it be this kid Jin's slander.

Zheng Lang was also silent.

It's not very opposed, Wang Anshi's entry into the two systems is okay, but now he is still the same as Zhao Ji, there is some impatience, and it may not be a good thing to enter the Chinese book before this impatience is worn out.
