Chapter 344 Everyone has their own thoughts

Zhao Shu now sees how happy Su You is: "Mingrun only comes through the pipes."

Su You said: "Next, the dispatch of the transfer envoys to the four Sichuan Gorges will be very important. They must be officials who are familiar with Shu's affairs with barbarians. I would like to ask first, who can be appointed?"

Zhao Shu asked Han Qi: "My lord, what do you think?"

After reaching a compromise with Tai Jian, Han Qi felt much more relaxed: "Zhang Andao, Zhao Ledao, and Song Zijing all have clear voices in governing Shu. I believe that all three of them are qualified for the job. This can be decided by your majesty."

Zhao Shu thought for a while: "Mingrun, you are from Shu, and all three of them have interacted with you. Who do you think is the best?"

Su You looked at Zhang Fangping, and saw Zhang Fangping waving his hands slightly, so he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the people of Shu are discussing together. Mr. Zhang is good at managing finances, Mr. Zhao is good at governing officials, and Mr. Song is good at caring for the people. The three of them govern Shu, and each has his or her own strengths."

"However, today the barbarians have returned, which is a new step in the Song Dynasty. The selection of officials should be the first priority."

"If the officials are magnanimous and simple, and the barbarians and Han people are treated equally, then the border people will be at peace. But if the spring taxes and autumn taxes are exempted, the rest will be reduced, and the people will be self-sufficient. This is to take the power of one public and reap the effects of the three publics."

"I heard that Duke Zhao is now serving as the transfer envoy to the capital of Hebei. Last year, he wanted to inspect the treasury of the famous treasury. The former prime minister Jia Gong knew the name and sent his subordinates to tell him: 'Previously, the supervisor had never inspected the treasury of Mr. Jia. How could the transfer envoy still inspect the treasury of the famous treasury?"

Can't you trust the Prime Minister?' Duke Zhao said: 'If you don't check the name, the counties will not accept it.'"

"So Jia Gong was displeased. Later, he went to work under the Central Committee to inspect the deficiencies of righteousness and bravery in Hebei Province. It was found that there were more than 800 officials who had been serving as apprentices for two years."

"Zhao Gong also reported to the Central Committee: 'It has been verified before that when I first received the imperial edict, many officials were dismissed and many officials died and moved away. Nowadays, most of the officials are new arrivals. If they are all governed, the new arrivals will be punished. Please mark the end of the year as

If the limit is not enough, then punishment will be imposed.' The imperial court agreed, and all the officials in Hebei were exempted. When Jia Gong knew about it, he felt ashamed to submit."

"The new border areas of Shu are in need of capable officials like Mr. Zhao who can adhere to principles and be flexible in dealing with them. Therefore, from the perspective of Shu and Yi people, I believe that Mr. Zhao's transfer to Chuanxia Four Roads will make it even more difficult."

suitable."

Zhao Shu and Han Qi Fubi both nodded.

Su You turned around and said to Sima Guang: "Sima Dajian, do you still have any questions?"

Sima Guang couldn't think of anything wrong for a moment: "No more for now."

Su You said: "Well, then I have a question."

Sima Guang said: "What's the problem?"

Su You said: "Previously, the great admonishment said that last year it was recommended that the officials prepare troops and select generals, but the court did not take any action. What I want to ask is, if someone can rectify the military system and implement the method of generals, will the great admonishment object?

?”

Sima Guang said: "That's natural."

Su You added: "If this method is appropriate, it can be implemented, but that person is someone whom the great remonstrance despises. How should the great remonstrance deal with it?"

Sima Guang said displeased: "Does Mingrun look down on me?"

Su You said: "I don't dare. Let Su You put it another way. If this person's actions are inappropriate and there is only one desirable method, can this desirable method be preserved?"

Sima Guangyi said righteously: "If I am in power, I should keep it. If I am not in power, I should also suggest to the prime minister that I should keep him!"

"Okay!" Su You turned around, paused, and looked at the people around him: "Su You participated in the court meeting for the first time. Before, when he saw Tai Jian's strong opposition to the Prime Minister, he thought that we were at odds with the Song Dynasty. Now I know that Tai Jian was against the prime minister.

The original intention of the remonstrance is to stop worrying."

"Your Majesty, our officials have been transferred too quickly. It is a big disadvantage for people to leave the government. If Mr. Zhang is in the third department, the state will have sufficient supplies. If Zhang Gong goes to the third department, the state will be short of supplies. What is the reason?"

"When national policies are implemented, if they want to be effective, it may take ten years or a hundred years, but the previous policies have not been effective, and then the successors will abandon them and implement new ones. Once they are abolished, they will be abolished again and again, and there will never be a time to revive."

"Meishan Sitong Company has implemented a new accounting method, which is very efficient. It has been twelve years now. The books have been standardized and the accounting system has been upgraded twice. The accounting department still maintains the old account books and has a backlog of documents as high as seven or eight.

It is inconceivable that someone who has not been able to negotiate for years should be placed in Sitong Company."

"This is true for all the financial affairs of a country, let alone the departments. When Zhang Gong was in Shu, he transferred the new accounting method to the accounting department, which was very convenient. The method was originally intended to be implemented in the accounting department, but in the end, it was able to be implemented before he left.

It has been postponed to this day.”

"Your Majesty, what was Shuzhong like ten years ago and what is it like now? It is said that the Song Dynasty is in urgent need of cheering up. In my opinion, I will first pick a few small things that I can do and start doing them. Then spread them out slowly and persist.

The results can be seen. Instead of being like the mid-Qingli New Year, which is full of changes, total abandonment, confusion and confusion, and ultimately no results."

"It's not easy to lift, but it's not moving. It's like hauling a heavy load with a big truck. It's hard at first and the progress is slow; then it gradually speeds up and becomes easier; in the end, it runs smoothly without any effort."

"If it's difficult to get started, you change horses and carriages. If you can't, you change horses and carriages. If you can't, you will change horses and carriages again. You will waste time and work in vain."

"As the saying goes: 'It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to cultivate people.' Therefore, once the strategy of transforming the southwestern barbarians into their native lands was decided, I asked the emperor and the Song Dynasty, and three generations followed it. It will not be easy for a hundred years!"

Fu Bi first agreed: "Your Majesty, changing orders from morning to night and breaking the trust of the people is indeed a taboo in governance. Mingrun's words are justified."

Han Qi has experienced the failure of the Qingli New Deal: "What happened during the Qingli period...Oh, is there really no good plan? It is advisable to never forget the past, to be the teacher of the future, and to speak wisely."

Sima Guang also said: "Your Majesty, Su You's first sentence is more important than the last sentence. First pick a few small things that can be done, spread them out slowly, and persist. It is better than making a comprehensive overhaul. This is the most ideal thing.

"

Those who say good things about themselves may not really mean it for themselves, Su You knows this very well.

For example, Han Qi is no longer the Han Qi he was during the Qingli New Deal. Even during the Qingli New Deal, he was at odds with the reform core members Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi.

In September of the third year of Qingli, not long after the New Deal was implemented, the imperial court received a report from Zheng Jian, the commander of the Shaanxi Fourth Route Army, and applied to build a walled city in the Shuiluocheng area.

Fan Zhongyan agreed and reported it to Song Renzong, who also agreed.

However, neither Fan Zhongyan nor Song Renzong expected that Han Qi, one of the three reform giants, would resolutely resist the construction of Shuiluo City in Shaanxi and become the starting point for the core split in the Qingli Reform.

There were rumors in both the government and the public that a few years ago, in order to take care of Song Renzong's mood, Empress Cao and Fu Bi did not advocate forcibly establishing Zhao Zongshi as the prince.

But just in case, Empress Cao had prepared the edict of passing the throne, stamped it with a jade seal, and kept it in her arms every day.

However, soon after Fu Bi returned home to mourn his mother's death, Han Qi took the opportunity to incite officials and forced Song Renzong to issue an edict to the world and make Zhao Zongshi the prince.

Song Renzong had no choice but to issue an edict. After returning to the palace, he cried bitterly.

After Song Yingzong ascended the throne, Han Qi, the great hero whom he agreed to support, immediately took the position of chief.

After Fu Bi returned from the mourning period, according to the usual practice, the prime minister should continue to serve as prime minister after the funeral, but Han Qi said: "This approach is not a good thing for the court." He changed the sentence to Privy Councilor.

Fu Bi felt aggrieved and complained to his friends several times: "Both the government and the public regard me as the same as Yao Chong and Song Jing. Unexpectedly, although I am intentional, he is ruthless!"

Therefore, after the death of Song Renzong, Fu Bi has been excluded from the center of power, while Han Qi used the title of "presiding over three dynasties and establishing two emperors" to tease Empress Dowager Cao several times.

Fu Bi was the privy envoy. The matter of assassinating brave men in Shaanxi was supposed to be a military matter, and Fu Bi should be in charge of it. However, it was Han Qi who was the first to propose it and who jumped the most fiercely.

As a result, they encountered Sima Guang's tenacious resistance.

What about Sima Guang? Since the death of Renzong, he has been constantly brushing up on his sense of existence, using his reputation as a moral reputation and etiquette expert to point fingers again and again, and his status in the Zhijian Yuan has been extremely influential.

Fu Bi is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

In the past, expressing support for Han Qi's Shaanxi policy was a last resort, but once he had no choice, he immediately changed his tune and supported Su You, even if he was just an entry-level official promoted to the imperial court.

Under this situation, Han Qi had no choice but to change his attitude.

Now that he is the prime minister, he has too many things to care about. Shaanxi was just a crackdown on Fu Bi. Sima Guang's backlash was so violent that he did not expect it.
