Chapter 146: The Reorganization of the Earth Shaking Mountains
With Zhao Xu's order, the imperial guards quickly surrounded the Political Affairs Hall and detained Yi Yingren and guarded them separately.
Many people were shouting and terrified.
"Why did I catch me? I didn't commit any trouble. Those things have nothing to do with me..."
"I don't know Dou Lin. We just drank it a few times and said a few times. It's okay for us..."
"I am not the Lu Party or the Fan Party. Chen Sheren, please say a few words..."
"I am Mr. Cai, you can't arrest me, Mr. Cai, I want to see Mr. Cai..."
The imperial guards held people from the three provinces and were isolated to rooms not far away.
Chen Qi walked around the three provinces and the Political Affairs Hall, counting people and items, and holding a list, both excluding and selecting people.
Jiang Jing is moving to Su Song’s duty room and wants to move to the green tiled house.
At this time, Su Song, Zhang Dun and Cai Bian were discussing the structure and personnel of the "New Political Affairs Hall". Su Song wanted to impose sufficient restrictions on the imperial power and ministerial power, but Zhang Dun strongly opposed it.
Cai Bian had no reason to help Su Song. In the case of two to one, even though Su Song was the prime minister, most of them were changed according to Zhang Dun's idea.
The palace was busy, and the outside of the palace was so shocked that it almost lost its voice.
The three provinces were enfeoffed, all officials were detained, and the Shangshu Zuo Chancellor Fan Chunren was imprisoned, which made the already turbulent city of Bianjing so depressed that it was breathless.
The Ministry of Justice moved very quickly and showed Fan Chunren's letter, saying, "The center is for military affairs, the young master is the commander of the Bians" was enough to block everyone's mouth.
It is a big taboo for civil officials to collude with Bian Zheng!
It was particularly sensitive in the Song Dynasty!
But this still failed to stop the surging of the government and the country. After a brief shock, all kinds of memorials to defend Fan Chunren emerged one after another. The attacks on Su Song, Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others became even more fierce, floating into the palace like snowflakes.
"Everyone is in danger..."
In a courtyard near Xiangguo Temple, a middle-aged man in a gorgeous dress sat in the pavilion, holding a wine glass and saying with a smile.
There was a military general sitting in front of him, very heroic. He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "King Yan, what do you think?"
King of Yan, Zhao Hao.
He had rushed back before and had been hiding in the mansion.
Now he is not as timid as Xuande's disciples that day, his face is handsome and calm.
He glanced at the general and said with some emotion: "Our official family is young after all. Look, if he continues to make trouble like this, there will be a big mess sooner or later."
The general looked at Zhao Hao without a moment and said, "The commanders, deputy commanders of the Third Office, and Du Yuhou are still in the palace, and the dissatisfied voices in the army can no longer suppress them."
Zhao Hao didn't look at him and said, "Don't think about it. Although my eldest nephew is young and reckless, he is not stupid. With Su Song, Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others, he has basically controlled the court. If you want to do something random, you are just seeking death."
The general looked motionless and said, "The King of Yan misunderstood. We are all ministers, and we will never be willing to infringe on the emperor."
Zhao Hao looked outside the yard, feeling in his heart that he might not have made any trouble, but why are you looking for me?
Zhao Hao knew it clearly, his eyes stared at the blue sky and white clouds with a faint look, and continued to smile with emotion: "Han Zhongyan, Su Che, Lu Dafang, Fan Chunren... Su Song has been subdued, only one Fan Bailu is missing, the husband left by the Empress Dowager is gone, the court has been cleaned... My eldest nephew is such a good method..."
The general also looked outside and said, "The rebound of the government and the opposition will not be small, but as time goes by, it will become bigger and bigger."
Zhao Hao naturally knew that the more he smiled, he said, "I have a good show, and I don't know how my eldest nephew will deal with the world's leisurely mouth..."
The general did not respond, and the King of Yan kept pushing his words away without hesitation, making him unable to understand Zhao Hao's true intentions.
Zhao Hao kept smiling, not saying a word about danger.
...
The movement of seizure of the three provinces was far more than the time when the Sansi Yamen was sealed, and the outside of the palace was almost exploded.
Focusing on the core of "ancestral system", "rituals and laws", "stability of the country", and "stable people's hearts", one by one, the meritorious stories appeared rapidly.
The entire Kaifeng City is discussing this matter, and with the previous incidents of seizure of the Three Secretariats, the Secretariat, and the imprisonment of Lu Dafang, the people in Kaifeng City seem to suppress their endless anger and are about to erupt.
Officials from all over the prefectures outside the capital were still thrilling that Lu Dafang was imprisoned and committed suicide. Soon after, they would know that the three provinces were gone.
Changes in the central system will inevitably have a profound impact on local governments and involve their fundamental interests.
It can be foreseen that a greater boiling boil is coming!
Zhang Dun and Cai Bian from the Green Tile House were obviously expected, and they were busy all day and night.
Su Song, Zhang Dun and Cai Bian discussed with the people selected from the former three provinces in Qingwafang. Six ministries and seven temples held meetings to conduct ministries. Reform memorials were made one by one, and the power and duties were distributed. The meetings and small meetings were almost stopped all day long.
In addition, they also have to work hard to deal with all forces, stabilize the situation and calm people's hearts.
Meiren Meng even summoned a noble lady in the capital in Renming Hall and drank tea in Renming Hall to reminisce about the past. Zhao Xu also appeared later and rewarded some women and their officials, and rewarded more than ten of them in one go.
Five days later, the palace was bowed.
The three ministers of the Qingwa House, six ministers of the six ministries, seven ministers of the seven temples, and sixteen people stood in the main hall of the Chuigong Hall.
Su Song is used to being silent, Zhang Dun is full of spirit, Cai Bian looks excited, and everyone else has their own expressions, but in short, it is mostly excited.
With the distribution of power and duties, the power of the Three Provinces and the Three Sessions were divided by the Zhengshi Hall and the Six Ministry and Seven Temples, and the real power of the Six Ministry and Seven Temples was greatly expanded!
Zhao Xu looked at the documents on the desk. There were more than 200 reform clauses formulated by their monarchs and ministers these days.
The Ministry of Personnel has re-in charge of the selection, allocation, inspection, appointment and removal of officials, and the examination of the class has become history.
The Ministry of Justice mastered the criminal prison, and the Criminal Court and other things were silently abolished, becoming one of the three real courts.
The Ministry of Revenue has obtained almost all the powers of the Sansi Yamen, holding taxes, household registration, land mu and other powers in its hands.
The Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Works, etc. also increased their powers greatly.
Relatively speaking, the Ministry of War has not changed much. Most of its powers were separated by the Three Yas and the Privy Council, and the three provinces were not involved.
The Qi Temple also gained the power to expand, eliminating many checks and balances, and being assigned to the rules and regulations. The positions and powers of the Void Descendants have become real power yamen.
Zhao Xu looked at it slowly and nodded secretly.
These days, they have had meetings day and night in Chuigong Hall. Zhao Xu has had many disputes with these people, and finally achieved his ideal results.
Zhao Xu looked at it for a while, closed it, nodded and said, "Just do it."
Zhang Dun left the list and said, "Abide by the order. If the ministers do not write a letter, the three provinces and the three officials will abolish the power, and the power will be given to the Zhengshi Hall and the Six Ministry and Seven Temples. At the same time, officials at all levels will be appointed and removed and allocated, and the order will be approved."
This is a necessary procedure.
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "I know there are troubles outside, but you must be firm and not shaken."
"I will obey the order!" The people raised their hands together.
Such a large reform action is far beyond the "Yuanfeng" reform, and it is still in the midst of many chaos, which will definitely cause huge controversy and opposition.
The current official system of the Song Dynasty was basically solidified, and everyone was relatives after turning a corner. If someone was told, talking or doing something randomly at this time would cause trouble.
Zhao Xu took the teacup of tangerine peel, took a sip, and said, "The court should stabilize as soon as possible, sort out the local area and make preparations for reform. In addition, the preparations for the other side of Huanqing Road cannot be stopped. We will only mobilize elite soldiers and generals! In this battle, we can only win but not lose! Then tell Huanqing Road that we cannot wait for the Xia people to come, be ready, and we can take the lead in attacking, knock the Xia people down for me, and beg for mercy!"
Zhang Dun was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and immediately responded, saying, "I obey the order!"
The crowd looked at Zhang Dun with their eyes flashing. Almost everyone understood that compared to Su Song, an "old minister of the previous dynasty", Zhang Dun was the prime minister of the new dynasty.
Zhao Xu put down the teacup and continued: "It's so complicated now. Your family works harder. Every two days, three ministers from the Zhengshi Hall meet with the Qingwa House of the Six Ministry and Seven Temples in the Qingwa House. Every five days, in the Chuigong Hall, I will discuss the country with you!"
"I will obey the order!"
The ministers in the Chuigong Hall raised their hands to respond at the same time, and the sound was loud and echoed in the Chuigong Hall.
Except for some of the better facial management, almost everyone is very excited. If they have power, they naturally have to do things. Moreover, they are mostly "new parties" and are extremely eager to restore the new Xining law and reform the bad policies of the Song Dynasty for many years!
Zhao Xu looked at the group of people with a smile, and his heart was as excited as a tide, saying, "Take some time and make a plan. We cannot do things like headless flies, nor can we repair things at the forefront. We must have long-term goals and plans, be targeted, not too long, set four years first, do not require full-scale and speed, and focus on the main problems to solve them..."
The meaning of "not fully recovering Wang Anshi's reform" is already very obvious.
Su Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand and said, "I obey the order."
Zhang Dun was a little unwilling to give in. He wanted to speak but was taken first by Su Song. He could only look serious and raise his hand.
The ministers more or less let go of their hearts. Among them, there are not many people who want to fully restore the Xining reform. After so many years, they have realized the various problems in the reform.
Moreover, the full resurgence is too difficult to deal with, and the conditions are not met for the time being.
Zhao Xu set a decision, so naturally no one could object.
After talking for a while, the ministers left the Chuigong Hall in groups of three or three.
A group of people gathered together and whispered, both nervous and excited, and discussed various things inside and outside, as if they were eager to do something.
Zhao Xu watched them leave, exhaled gently in his heart, and said to himself:
"It's finally over."
The complex political situation and the system of checks and balances really restricted Zhao Xu's hands and feet, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Now, it has finally been cleaned up.
Chen Pi stood aside, becoming more and more cautious. He set a rule for him: Don’t talk too much if you can!
He understood clearly. The official in front of him was too brave and had a grand structure. He had to be cautious and smart enough to stay by his side!
Three days later, Fan Chunren was sentenced and took away all official positions, and his honor was honored. He was exempted from punishment and ordered to guard the tombs of the late emperor.
On the same day, the three ministers of the Political Affairs Hall jointly submitted a letter requesting the restructuring, the abolition of the three provinces and the three officials, the criminal court, etc.
The content of the report was heard, and the government and the country were in an uproar!
Chapter completed!
