Chapter 474 Conflict
Zhao Xu wanted to reform, and the "New Party" led by Zhang Dun also wanted to reform.
Zhao Xu's reform was naturally based on his experience in later generations and wanted to establish a system that was efficient enough to eliminate the chronic disease of "people are in trouble" from top to bottom in the Song Dynasty.
Strictly speaking, the reform of the "New Party" is actually a kind of "improvement", which has repaired and repaired, and created many new laws, but it cannot fundamentally solve the problem, but will instead cause more trouble.
Therefore, Zhao Xu and the "New Party" are consistent in general, but there are many principled conflicts in specific reform strategies, methods and methods.
Whether it is the ‘old party’ or the ‘new party’, they are essentially bureaucratic groups of the Song Dynasty. They all respect the ‘ancestral system’ and oppose the impact on the ‘ancestral family law’.
However, the "New Party" relied on Zhao Xu, who had the great achievements of Zhao Xu defeating Xixia in person and not having enough money to balance him.
Zhao Xu was not the Emperor of Shenzong after all. What he wanted to do was not considering the ancestral system, family rules, and views of the government and the people, and promoted it with all his might.
Such an emperor who is determined and arbitrary, and only relies on Zhao Xu to recover, he really does not have much ability to deal with Zhao Xu.
It was nothing more than that in some details, they struggled symbolically, and Zhao Xu gave in symbolically, and seemed to have reached a "consensus" and got to where they are today step by step.
Now, it is the eighth year of Yuanyou, and next year is the first year of Shaosheng. After the change of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Shaosheng will implement an unprecedented and huge reform plan, and the "political system" is the first step.
Shen Qi raised his hand and heard Zhao Xu's words, hesitated and said: "The government, the government and the government expressed support for the government... the court, the three provinces and six ministries of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but there were many different voices about the promotion of the Ministry of War, weakening the Privy Council, the Dali Temple is independent of the court, the power of the Political Affairs Hall is too large and too concentrated, and the 'military reform'."
What Shen Qi said is actually quite a bit rare. Zhao Xu hated the system of the Song Dynasty and wanted to overthrow and rebuild it. Not only these things?
The meaning of Shen Qi's words is that the court officials were suspicious and hesitant about the reforms brewed by Zhao Xu and the Song Dynasty court. In addition to the "old party" with a clear attitude, there is also the "new party". Even Zhang Dun did not agree with many contents, but because of Zhao Xu's suppression, Zhang Dun and others agreed.
Zhang Dun and others may not object, but the people below did not have direct pressure from Zhao Xu. The six ministries and high-ranking officials of various temples were all talking about this. They had too many complaints about this "political system" reform plan, and they would not be happy.
Zhao Xu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea quietly.
He had expected this situation and left enough room for operation.
Zhao Xu thought, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "It is normal to have objections. Since it is a discussion, you must speak freely and let them organize it and report it to the Zhengshi Hall. If the Zhengshi Hall cannot handle it, I will come again."
Seeing that Zhao Xu had no intention of giving in, Shen Qi had to raise his hand and said, "I will receive the order."
Zhao Xu looked up outside and said, "Is the new list of governors from Thirteenth Routes coming out?"
Shen Qi let go of the topic just now, with a much relaxed expression and said, "As far as I know, some people are interested in retreating, and the court is not very satisfied with some people's abilities, and there are some disputes."
There are twenty-three "big roads" in the strict sense of the Song Dynasty. Putting aside the Jingji Road where Kaifeng City is located, there are twenty-two, and Zhao Xu and Zhengshi Hall are already merged.
If we talk about the understanding of court officials, no one knows better than Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others, and Zhao Xu is not as good as that.
"Okay, go to the Political Affairs Hall to urge you. The matter is too complicated, and you should cut it off, and you should cut it off." Zhao Xu said to Chen Qi.
Chen Qi responded and said, "Yes. I will leave."
Zhao Xu watched him leave and breathed softly.
As the year approaches and the change of the country is approaching, a series of things will be decided before the end of the year. It is really a lot of things. The lights of the Political Affairs Hall and the Sixth Ministry have turned into three shifts.
After a while, Zhao Xu calmed down and moved a thick 'classic book' beside him, with three large regular characters: Da Song Dynasty.
Zhao Xu looked at it seriously and pondered it, holding a pen in his other hand, recording some ideas.
In Zhao Xu's view, the Great Song Dynasty's law is the mother and foundation of all the rituals and laws of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, it seems simple, but in fact it covers everything. You must be very careful, even if you use every word you use repeatedly.
The first sentence of the opening preface is: Emperor Zhao, Shao Yingjun's order, obeyed the will of heaven, the lord of the Song Dynasty, led the territory of thousands of cyclists, and defeated the welfare of all people.
This sentence was written by Cai Bian.
Zhao Xu thought carefully and always felt something was wrong, but he wanted to modify it but couldn't find the right wording.
This is for people all over the world to see. They should be open and upright and upright, and can be ashamed of people's hearts. They can be empty but not too pragmatic, and they cannot be considered too long-term.
Zhao Xu looked carefully for a while, let go of this sentence and began to look back.
Later, it explains the history of the Song Dynasty, praises the great achievements of emperors of all dynasties, and also clarifies some responsibilities and goals.
Zhao Xu watched with concentration and recorded many things casually. He needed to discuss them carefully with Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others, and improve them as much as possible without leaving any major loopholes.
I don’t know how long it took, Chen Pi came to Zhao Xu and whispered: “The official family, the concubine is welcome.”
Zhao Xu was stunned and looked up and saw that it was already dark.
Only then did he realize that his back was sore, he sat upright and stretched his body, and suddenly said with a smile: "Do you want to compete for power with me?"
Concubine Zhu liked Xiao Quaner very much and often stayed in the Qinghou Hall. Zhao Xu and Empress Meng had no choice but to "rob" several times, and they were scolded. The two remembered the lesson and did not easily bring Xiao Quaner to the Qinghou Hall.
Chen Pi did not smile, lowered her head and said, "There are several princesses who entered the palace before, first met the queen, and then went to the concubine's place to sit for an hour."
Zhao Xu's mind was still a little stiff, and he moved his neck and said, "What's the matter?"
Chenpi said: "It may be related to the law of the clan."
Zhao Xu said oh, took the teacup delivered by the yellow door, and took a sip.
The "Shaosheng New Deal" is a reform in all aspects of law, political system, etiquette and law, and almost all of them are included. Among them, the "Lian Family Law" was also introduced for the royal family of the Song Dynasty.
The law of the royal family stipulates the treatment of the royal family, and strictly restricts the treatment of the royal family in the royal palace, inheritance, inheritance, hereditary titles, land, salary, wedding and funeral expenses, etc.
In particular, Zhao Xu learned from the lessons of the excessive expansion of the royal family in the late Ming Dynasty and dragged down the national finances, compressed the royal family's expenses to a "reasonable" range, and adopted the policy of "reducing titles in the next generation".
The royal family of the Song Dynasty was not actually expansive, or the population of the Song Dynasty was not large. Judging from the descendants of Emperor Yingzong, the number of male members of the three generations is less than twenty. Among them, the sons of Emperor Shenzong and the sons of his two brothers is only thirteen.
In this third generation, Zhao Xu had one son, who was less than one year old, and he had fourteen people.
Four generations and fourteen people, this is worse than that of ordinary wealthy families.
Zhao Xu's method of preparing for the future naturally conflicts with reality. Besides, the Song Dynasty was rich and officials were rich, let alone the royal family.
Zhao Xu suddenly wanted to cut off their vested salary and land acres, and also limit the size of their palace. The money and food obtained from the court for marriage and funerals, and more importantly, he had to be reduced to his title!
Which company can bear this?
