"Officially, Fan Qiong, the guardian of Xiangyang, has not arrived yet, and he has taken in the guilty minister Zongyin, so he has a heart to punish!" At this moment, Hu Yin, the censor in the palace beside Yan Xiaozhong, once again made trouble with words regardless of the occasion and atmosphere.

"Official!"

Just as Zhao Guanjia was about to speak, Liu Ji immediately expressed his position. "Fan Qiong has nothing to fear. I have been appointed by the emperor to take office in Xiangyang. A mere warrior will never dare to cause trouble easily!"

"It's not that..." Zhao Jiu quickly suppressed the old gentleman, and then immediately looked at Han Shizhong who was watching the excitement.

Han Shizhong, who had watched the excitement for half a day, quickly stepped out of the queue and saluted with his hands raised: "Guan family, wait for me to transfer the troops and horses to Xiangyang City, and within ten days, Fan Qiong will be captured alive!"

"I was about to say this..." Zhao Jiu couldn't help but pause mid-sentence. From the outside, it seemed that the official was moved by the enthusiasm of his ministers.

Of course, in fact, Zhao Guan's family is a little troubled by this personal team that he deliberately attracted but has not yet formed... Just look at it and you will know. Compared with those mature husbands, none of these people look like important ministers.

:

Han Shizhong was certified by officials and private individuals as having a good waist and courage, but he also had to be a so-called internationally certified rogue in the Song, Jin, Liao and Xia Dynasties;

At the age of thirty, Zhang Jun suddenly became the censor Zhongcheng, who was almost half the prime minister. He inevitably had some record-breaking thoughts, so he spent more than half of his energy trying to figure out his thoughts as an official;

Hu Yin speaks regardless of the atmosphere and holds strong opinions;

Bachelor Xiaolin is bored, and he seems to like crying recently;

Liu Ziyu likes to put on airs, neither looking down on others nor letting go of his airs;

Yan Xiaozhong doesn't know whether it was because of his sudden success or because of his nature. It may have something to do with his appearance. Anyway, he likes to talk loudly;

Yang Yizhong looks perfect on the outside, but he is an all-rounder on the inside;

Even Liu Ji, who thought he was a mature person who could be won over, ended up crying and dying as soon as he shook hands casually. He couldn't understand what was going on...

At this time, Zhao Guan's family really missed Zhao Ding. At least he acted and spoke normally.

But back to the present, complaining is complaining, these people are the hope of Zhao Guan's family in the future. Because Zhao Jiu knows very well that his official family is not a serious official family!

Serious people like to secretly write down people's good and bad secrets in small notebooks and study them every day before meetings?

A serious official has an excessive desire to perform all day long?

Serious officials show no respect for their decency every day, play tricks with ministers, and often lose their dignity in the army of local tyrants?

In addition, the more important point is that after all, these people have either some ability or some integrity. If he really left these people, Zhao Jiu, with his small body, could defeat more than 20 people from the east and west sides of the Jin Army.

Ten thousand households, or can we manage more than half of China, which is a mess?

So, if we tolerate each other for the sake of the country, how can we leave?!

"I was about to say this." After being stuck for a while, Zhao Jiu, who returned to normal, continued to hold Liu Ji's hand... In fact, Liu Ji held it too tightly, and Zhao Guanjia couldn't let go... He said sternly to Han Shizhong

"Han Qing, since Shaanzhou has been resurrected, I want you to immediately supervise the troops to go north to Xijing. On the one hand, you will carefully supervise Wanyan Yinshuke and Wanyan Bali and they will retreat quickly. On the other hand, you must quickly defeat the enemy who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty."

Yang Jin, a military thief, assisted the big Zhai and the small Zhai to conquer Xijing and regain a foothold; thirdly, try to open up the Shaanzhou channel and assist Shaanzhou one or two... The Zhai family in Xiping originally belonged to Caizhou, and under your command, he also worked with the big and small Zhai

We are brothers, so after today, you will take him with you! When Xijing stabilizes, you can return to Huaixi to rest and train."

"I obey." Han Shizhong obviously felt that this order was a bit unexpected, but he still accepted the order immediately. However, after receiving the order, he couldn't help but inquire seriously. "But since I am going to Xijing, I have to ask the officials about two things...

"

"Tell me."

"The Taiwei Lu Qinglu, who is in charge of the affairs of the Guard Infantry Division, is still in Sishui. When I go there, who will give the first military order?" Han Shizhong replied solemnly.

"Of course Han Qing comes first!" Zhao Jiu blurted out without thinking, but after thinking for a moment, he solemnly reminded him. "But a good minister must also respect Lieutenant Lu's contribution to the Si River for many years!"

This was a bit unsystematic, but no one around me objected, and it was even a bit too quiet.

In other words, although the assignment of Lu Qing has some meaning of low-level and high-ranking, he is still a serious official of the three yamen, that is, the so-called Bu Shuai of the three yamen and three marshals passed down by word of mouth, and the famous Mr. Gao who takes the sports route.

Like the palace commander he served, he belonged to the highest theoretical military rank in the Song Dynasty. In the past, the Sanyamen and the Privy Council formed the two highest military power agencies in the Song Dynasty. The so-called one has the power of troops but does not have the power to send troops, and the other has

He has the power to send troops but has no power to use them.

However, another obvious fact is that since he ascended the throne, this official used the military power of the Marshal's Palace to rebuild an imperial camp, and then actually used the imperial camp to replace all the functions of the three yamen, so in this matter

, but all ministers, whether civil or military, will only support Han Shizhong.

Otherwise, you are denying the overall legitimacy of your practice!

Of course, there is another point that the Zhao Guan family did not think of for a while, but the people below took it for granted that Lu Qing was in Sishui and had always been attached to Zongze who stayed in Tokyo. However, Zongze, who has such great power, was restricted.

Staying behind is almost the instinct of all civil servants!

This has nothing to do with morality or political stance. It is really the instinct of bureaucrats. Even Zongze is a serious civil servant.

In fact, before Han Shizhong established a town in Huaixi, he delimited Caizhou and Shunchang Prefecture (Yingzhou, later Fuyang area), which theoretically belonged to the North Beijing Road, and then Li Yanxian became the envoy of Shaanzhou Town, including Yue Fei, Zhang

The reason why Rong was appointed as the governor of the town so smoothly is because deep down in the hearts of these bureaucrats, they all felt that this move had vague political correctness. Caizhou and Shunchang Prefecture theoretically belong to the twilight zone of power left behind by Tokyo.

; Li Yanxian's previous commendations were all carried out through Zong Ze; the existence of Yue Fei and Zhang Rong can effectively control Zhang Suo and Zhang Jun.

Things must be guarded against, and things must be controlled... It has not changed for many years, and the Zhao Guan family, who kept saying that they would fight against these things, did not notice the twists and turns at all.

'He has clear righteousness, is very talented in small things, and is sincere to others. Things seem to have an end and a beginning, and the end is clear. But he is rough in the middle, not very careful, and his behavior is fierce. This is his disease'... This is Li Gang before Prime Minister Li Gong.

A few days ago, I wrote an evaluation of someone in a letter to my confidant and friend, Lin Qi, the head of the Household Department.

Stop talking and turn to the front. Han Shizhong immediately accepted the order and then continued to play the duel.

But at this time, someone around him suddenly couldn't control himself: "In the official family, Zhang Jun, the prime minister in the imperial examination, took the liberty to hear that after all, the three-yamen system has been in operation for hundreds of years... Well, Taiwei Lu has merits and demerits, and the Korean system

Although Zhi's military strategy is sound, his actions are very cautious and without virtue. I'm afraid that if Han Zhi decides to do this, Lieutenant Lu will be dissatisfied, which may cause unwarranted disaster."

Listening to the second half of the sentence, Zhao Guan almost thought it was Hu Yin who spoke, because the words were so similar to Hu Yin's style.

But having said that, since it was Zhang Jun who said this, it has a deeper meaning.

In response to this, Zhao Jiu was silent for a moment and still asked in a deep voice: "What does Zhang Qing want?"

"I have taken the liberty of asking you to go to Ruzhou to temporarily supervise the military affairs in Xijing." Zhang Jun bowed his head in response. "It is a rule in this dynasty that civil servants supervise the division... If I go to Ruzhou, I will be able to stabilize the situation in Xijing while keeping Taiwei Lu safe."

Revival."

"No need, I will talk to Zong Liushou about this matter." After this reminder, Zhao Jiu came to his senses. "Liu Taiwei has been relying on Zong Liushou in Sishui. With his mediation, everything will be fine."

Zhang Jun chatted and retreated.

The Zhao Guan family finally took the opportunity to let go and returned to their seats... At the same time, Liu Ji, Yan Xiaozhong, and Hu Yin also returned to the queue.

"Actually, there is an important matter. I wanted to say it last, but since it has already involved the three yamen and the royal camp, and there are really not many important things today, I will just speak frankly." Zhao Jiu looked around.

, raised his voice, and all the ministers who were walking around had a clear understanding in their hearts, and then they all stood in awe. Han Shizhong, the only one who was still standing in the middle, saw that the situation was not good and quickly retreated.

"The national system is the fundamental priority of the country and should not be changed easily." Zhao Guanjia said slowly. "But now is no different than in the past. The unyielding trend between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom is a foregone conclusion. I said this in Bagong in the past

The mountain has been judged, and it can never really stop unless one side is destroyed and the country is destroyed. In this case, the system must be changed to adapt to the current situation..."

Although the ministers below responded seriously, they did not change their expressions, because this topic was something that everyone had thought about. In fact, someone had mentioned it as early as in Nanjing (Shangqiu). Behind the Bagong Mountain, Lu Yihao, the magistrate of Yangzhou, even once

The letter went to Xingzai and proposed a package plan involving the official system, military affairs, and finance.

After that, other important ministers in various fields also put forward their own plans. In the past two days, although it was hasty, the ministers qualified to discuss matters before the emperor also discussed this issue and put forward some rough plans.

Generally speaking, the final plan is a simplification and merger to facilitate military coordination.

"First, the Zhongshu Province, the Shangshu Province, the Menxia Province, and the Secretary's Province are all integrated into one. From today on, there will no longer be a right prime minister or a left prime minister... The prime minister of the East Prefecture is the official prime minister and the deputy prime minister. They are in charge.

In terms of government affairs, he is in charge of six ministries, nine temples, five prisons, six courtyards, and four elections. He is qualified to go before the emperor to discuss military and political affairs. In the line of conduct, Xianggong Lu is the chief and Xianggong Xu is the deputy!"

After Zhao Guanjia finished speaking, Lu Haowen and Xu Jingheng came out in serious appearance and bowed down.

"Of course." Zhao Guanjia quickly added. "Xiangong Li is still responsible for the military and state affairs. He is in charge of the East and West mansions and is in charge of hundreds of officials. He is still above all his officials."

Naturally, no one cared about this nonsense, because no one would think that Li Gang was really back, and that someone like Lu Haowen could stand up to him.

"Secondly, from now on, the Xifu will also abolish the appointment of Tongzhi Privy Councilor and other dispatches, and they will all be called Privy Envoys and Deputy Privy Councilors... The Privy Councilors here are naturally the Prime Minister of the Zong who stayed in Tokyo, Prime Minister Wang, Prime Minister Yu Wen, and those who are recuperating in Huainan.

Xianggong Zhang (Zhang Xi) is the deputy privy envoy, the privy envoy, and the deputy privy envoy, that is, the Prime Minister of the East Prefecture, and he still participates in the affairs before the imperial court as before."

This Privy Council is almost like changing just one name... When everyone saw Wang Boyan and Yu Wenxu standing up, they couldn't help but slander him.

However, Zhao Guanjia paused for a moment and then continued:

"Thirdly, from today onwards, the three yamen will be abolished and all powers and responsibilities will be transferred to the imperial camp. Yang Weizhong and Lu Qing will be under the control of the deputy capital of the imperial camp. The imperial camp will also belong to the Privy Council of Xifu, and the department of household affairs will be transferred to the Privy Council.

The subordinates are in charge of confidential writings, military counselors, and the chief and deputy commanders of the imperial camp. They are responsible for joining the army and staying on the front lines. They are responsible for setting up envoys, managing envoys, pacifying envoys, suppressing envoys, and those who establish festivals in the army. They can all follow the Privy Council.

Let the emperor discuss military matters."

Everyone shuddered slightly, this was the true unity of power and responsibility... The design of the century-old military power division of the Song Dynasty was forced to be reunited by the current situation.

If you had known this before, why did you do it in the first place?

"Fourth, the powers and responsibilities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs overlap, and based on the previous lesson that most of the six thieves were eunuchs, and when the country is in crisis, it is not appropriate to expand the number of internal servants, so they are combined into the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is also concise.

In these cases, there is a chief's chief's guard, headed by Lan Gui, who continues to be responsible for banning Jiyi's writings, and a deputy's chief's guard, headed by Shao Chengzhang from the Empress Dowager Yangzhou's side. The rest are reduced to guard's, still in charge of various places.

The mission remains the same."

"Fifth, the imperial squadron is listed separately, and there is an imperial commander, with Yang Yizhong as the leader, and a deputy commander, with Liu Yan as the leader, and all the troops in the imperial camp are directly subordinate to me."

These two have nothing to say, but Feng Yi's return has not shaken Lan Gui's identity at all, which is interesting.

"These are several important matters that have been discussed. As for the Yushitai and the Academy, they are simple and naturally unchanged. They are still directly owned by me like the East and West." Zhao Jiu said here, his tone slowed down, as if he had something to say.
To be continued...
