Chapter five hundred and forty-eight began

"I have given you the order of the master of law and ancestors, and great etiquette for human ethics, and the same is true for the country. The system of our Song Dynasty is controlled by treacherous and slanderous people and destroyed by the stupid officials..."

Chenpi recited the edict, and his voice was calm, sharp and tense.

The ministers below listened silently.

When the official sitting on the dragon throne was not in charge of the rule, he abolished the Three Divisions and returned the power to the Six Ministry, thus gradually restoring the "Three Provinces and Six Ministry System". In fact, the Song Dynasty's court had actually completed the "Fa Zu".

Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others were welcomed by such reforms.

The centralization of power in the court is equivalent to putting power into their hands. It has actually eliminated many systems and the constraints on power, which is very different from the situation of the Shenzong Dynasty.

"Replenish the six ministries, gather three provinces, use the effectiveness of defeating people, and use the system to clarify the government and clear the government... The Political Affairs Hall will unify the six ministries and manage the national politics..."

The ministers held up the tablets and bowed, listening silently.

The "Old Party" felt nervous and uncomfortable, and there were also sighs.

The word "check and balance" runs through the bones of the Song Dynasty, especially the court, and is full of the words "check and balance".

Within the six ministries, within the three provinces, the court, the local government, and the army, there were 'checks and balances' everywhere. This was the result of the Song Dynasty's bloody and tears learning from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Now, such "checks and balances" have been abolished, and the three provinces and six ministries of the Tang Dynasty have been restored.

"The ancestor of Dharma admires the ancestors" can block the mouths of too many people.

Even though the "old party" was uncomfortable, they had no choice but to oppose it in the court.

"I'm here."

After Chenpi finished speaking, she looked up at the ministers below.

"I received the order."

As the great minister of the current dynasty, Zhang Dun was the first to raise his hand to respond.

"I will receive the order."

The ministers held up the scepter, and the sound was loud.

Chen Pi did not hand the edict to Zhang Dun this time, and put the one in his hand on the plate held by the yellow gate aside. He took out another one and said, "Definitely the military system."

"I will receive the order."

This time, the first person to speak was Privy Councilor Zhang Shi, then the Chief Minister of War Xu Jiang, and then the officials of the two yamen.

Chen Pi looked at it and said, "I have been ordered by Emperor Taizu to set up the tripod and Emperor Taizong's country. It has been more than a hundred years since the military strength is exhausted and the military system is gradually abolished. With the discussions of the ministers, the new system is set up in the army with the strength of all dynasties..."

Zhang Feng, Xu Jiang held the scepter and his face remained motionless.

Even for the "military reform", even for them, it was difficult for many places to accept it. It was only under the forced pressure of Zhao Xu, and hoped to turn around on its own to ensure the stability of the army and firmly grasp it in the hands of the court, and would not repeat the disaster of the vassal states in the late Tang Dynasty.

The "old party" was even more anxious. They were afraid of the disaster of the feudal states!

If they really appear again, they will suffer the greatest losses!

But they have no choice. The "Military Reform" has been implemented for nearly two years. The three northern routes have basically taken shape and are being promoted in depth.

On Jiangnan West Road in the south, it is also a sharpening knife.

"The Privy Council leads the commander of the Ministry of War, the French army, and the French army, collects the imperial guards in the Da Nei, and sets up the thirteen troops in various routes, places, and arches to Bianjing... Imprison this."

After reading Chenpi, he almost habitually looked up at the ministers in the hall.

"I will receive the order."

Zhang Feng, Xu and others responded together, and others such as Zhang Dun and others did not speak.

Zhao Xu sat on the chair, his eyes flashing across Zhang Feng, Xu Jiang and others' faces, and he could clearly see the condensation and relaxation of their flashes.

Zhang Dun, Cai Bian, Wen Yanbo and others were so calm that they could not see any emotions.

Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes slowly glanced among the ministers without moving.

Whether it is the ‘new party’, the ‘old party’, or it is neither friends nor parties, many people are frowning secretly and looking down at this moment.

‘Military Reform’ has always been a huge thorn in their hearts, like a thorn in their throat and a ray of light on their backs!

Zhao Xu sat upright, listening to Chenpi reciting the imperial edict while also thinking.

Strictly speaking, it is not how advanced or outdated his reforms were. His many reform requirements were based on reality and were referenced by the Han and Tang Dynasties. The reason for conflict with court officials was that the word "checks and balances" in the Song Dynasty penetrated into everyone's bones.

As long as they move the word "check and balance", they will feel severe insecurity, panic, and unable to sleep at night.

‘Policies are easy to change, but people’s hearts are difficult to change…’

Zhao Xu whispered in his heart, thinking about ways to strengthen the normal public opinion and change the customs of the military and civilians of the Song Dynasty.

"I have given you the order of the Lord: There is no way to escape from the law... With the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, we can calm the hearts of all peoples and ensure the great return of the country..."

"I have been ordered by the Lord: respect etiquette and law, follow it with self-restraint, be the way of people, behave in heaven and earth, and the origin of the rituals of the Saints, consolidate the country and maintain peace, and turn the sun and the moon..."

...

Chenpi was reciting edicts, and her mouth was dry and her voice began to hoarse.

The court officials bowed and repeatedly said, "I will receive the order." They were also very tired.

But no one was pretentious and followed the established procedures and walked step by step.

The "Shaosheng New Deal" covers too many, including the summary of the "New Deal" of emperors of all dynasties in the Song Dynasty, as well as Zhao Xu's reforms to all aspects of the political system of the Song Dynasty.

The laws of the Song Dynasty, rituals, royal family laws, equal land laws, tax laws, official laws, etc., have been brewing for a long time, and now the imperial edicts have been issued in the Zichen Hall.

This is undoubtedly the most firm declaration of the Song Dynasty, and it became the collective will of the Song Dynasty!

This is announcing to the court officials and to all the subjects of the Song Dynasty: The new policy of Shaosheng has begun!

The court officials kept holding the tablets, listening constantly, repeating the "memorials and others' orders".

They didn't know these edicts before, but they had known the contents of them for a long time.

The Zhengshi Hall and the Six Ministry of the Temples have been entangled with these issues for too long, and it was a time of conflict and was decided through the running-in.

The contents of these imperial edicts and edicts still have content that are difficult for both the "new and old" parties and third-party forces to accept, such as the contents of the Song Dynasty, such as the overhaul of the rituals, the salaries of the royal family, the reduction of welfare of the court officials, etc.

In short, the "Shaosheng New Deal" is a serious constraint on them in the eyes of many people, depriving them of too many privileges and benefits, but rushing them to do things.

This is also the fundamental reason why the "new law" is defined as "evil law" in the court and the government and the court's open robbery, exploitation, bullying and bullying.

As more and more promulgations are issued, the expressions of court officials are constantly changing.

The "Shaosheng New Deal" far exceeds the previous "new law" and the "new policy" of all dynasties. The scale of the attacks is unprecedentedly large and profound, which concerns the interests of almost everyone in the court and the opposition.

This kind of high-intensity and intense reform means that Zhao Xu has completely grasped power and has the great achievements of Zheng Xia, standing at the highest point of power and moral prestige.

At the same time, the "New Party" took the blame, otherwise he would have been ousted as the emperor.

In other words, if the "New Party" returned from being cleansed, all of Zhao Xu's reforms may be just his idea, and he can only come carefully step by step. Perhaps it will take another ten years to twenty years before it will be like this now.

Just right, that's just right.

The returned "New Party" is full of resentment and strong obsession with the "New Law", together with Zhao Xu, pushing the "Shaosheng New Policy" to overcome obstacles step by step.

Zhao Xu sat on the chair with a majestic expression, solemn and firm look down at all the court officials.

His face was calm and his heart was as raging as fire.

Finally, it's about to start!

"I will receive the order! Unite and unite, get rid of the old and welcome the new, create the country of our Song Dynasty, which is prosperous and strong, and create a prosperous era that has not been seen in ancient and modern times!"

The ministers were neatly and stood up with a loud voice.
Chapter completed!
