The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

After Zhao Jie ascended the throne, he respected the Secretariat and enriched the six ministries, making the scholars of the Song Dynasty feel that the imperial power was unique, and the power of the ministers was gradually increasing. How could they sit back and ignore it? They wrote letters to request the restoration of the Three Secretaries and the Secretariat.

The two provinces under the jurisdiction also adopted a non-cooperation attitude to resist, intending to force the emperor to decentralize power, Li Gang stepped down and suppress the military. Some even petitioned the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji, wanting to ask him to return to power.

"Your Majesty, now all the departments and departments in the court have orders that are not implemented. It is difficult to promote the reduction of duties and reduce officials. The army is still in a state of incompetence. This is all incompetence. Please ask your Majesty to seek other talents!" Li Gang is now in the whirlpool of public opinion.

Life was very difficult, so I resigned to Zhao Qiong.

"Li Xiang, you are the leader of all officials. Naturally, your affairs are complicated. Of course, you have suffered the most grievances. I know that, and don't take it seriously. Even if you let it go, you still need your efforts to revive the Song Dynasty!" Zhao Qi comforted him.

Li Gang's resignation was nothing more than two reasons. One was to retreat to advance and want to gain more support from him; the other was to test his attitude towards him, so he would give him a reassurance.

"Your Majesty, I feel exhausted both physically and mentally and difficult to support me, so I will let me return to the field!" Li Gang said again after hearing this.

"Oh, I know that Li Xiang has the ambition to govern the country and save the people, and I respect you for your unyielding character of not fearing difficulties. At this time, it is not a gentleman who asks to resign if there are only a small setback. Now the Song Dynasty is in a turmoil, and there are Jurchens who are eyeing each other.

There are rampant bandits in the country, and the emperor's brother is still in the north, and the court is in ruins, and corrupt officials are everywhere. The scholars also talk about the romantic and romantic. The Jurchen invasion was the time to serve the country, but they were afraid of the enemy, and they were completely ruthless.

Forgot the saint's teachings. The situation has just improved. I don't know how to share the worries of the country, but I'm talking nonsense. I'm not pragmatic and I'm just a corpse and a corpse!" Although Li Gang tried his best to hide it, his acting skills were too poor and his eyebrows were almost flying

It was difficult to escape from Zhao Qi's eyes. Obviously, it was just a routine to resign again, waiting for his retention to show his loyalty to the wise ministers.

"Your Majesty is wise, how dare you not fail to work hard!" Li Gang said again, but he also heard the anger in the words of the officials. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with the scholars, and he was also vague in his heart. The current status of scholars is also the Emperor Taizu of the time.

The words of the Song Dynasty brought about the glory of the scholars of the Song Dynasty for a hundred years. The performance of scholars in the Jingkang Incident is actually a disappointment, which can be said to have failed the original intention of Zhao's family to raise scholars, and this new official family owns

He was involved in the warriors at a young age. Of course, he became instinctively close to warriors and had already developed prejudice against scholars. Now he tried his best to raise the status of warriors. If the handling is not done properly, the officials will try their best to suppress scholars and play with warriors as the country.

It is not impossible, the neck is hard to be hard after all.

"Revitalize the Song Dynasty. Recover Yan Yun, attack Huang Long, and welcome the late emperor. It is our responsibility, and we must not give up easily. Li Xiang should not say anything about resigning from his official position!" Zhao Qi nodded and said, feeling secretly happy in his heart.

Li Gang is not a completely ignorant person.

"Your Majesty. The Jin people went south to many officials, and many officials in the court were eliminated during the investigation of the riots. There were many vacancy in each house and department. Should we procure the entreaty department early and select talents for the country to fill the vacancy?

"Li Gangyan said that he also knew that he was isolated in the court and had no close friends, so it was difficult to carry out his work. While opening a college degree to select talents for the country, he could also cultivate his own power.

"It is naturally imperative to open a science subject, but now is not the time. The opening of a science subject in the Song Dynasty has also led to excessive abuse. Many talented people are unwilling to join Cai Jing and others, and there are countless officials waiting to be selected for leisure, which is difficult to have a single one.

Showing talents or condescending to be a minor official will not only waste the country's education, but also bury good talents!" Zhao Qi stood up and walked around the hall and said, "Who was waiting aside to be happy and happy, but His Majesty didn't know this turn.

How many people have been transferred in? In this way, Li Xiang has to be earned.

"Does Your Majesty want to select officials from old officials to enrich the court and the local government?" Li Gangyan said. He knew that the officials were struggling from the local government, and it was not easy to hide it from him.

"Not all, although the people of the new science and the Imperial Academy are quite knowledgeable and energetic, but those who study hard are not experienced and have no experience. It is difficult to understand the difficulties and do not understand the sufferings of the people. You can vigorously select one from the officials.

To be promoted, a group of new people will go to the local area to serve as officials, accumulate experience and increase experience, so as to be of great use!” Zhao Qi said.

In the prefectures and county yamen in the Song Dynasty, in addition to the officials appointed by zhong yāng, there were also a large number of officials. In the prefecture-level jail, there were Kongmu officials, seizure officials, demolish officials, and jail officials.

Grain and material officials, etc. In the county government office, there are guards, records, hand divisions, post offices, etc. Some sources of officials are recruiting, some are dispatched, and some are selected. There are many names of officials, and their main responsibilities are

The collection of taxes and handling of lawsuits is an important and unignorable component of the feudal ruling group.

From the perspective of social functions, officials played a great role in ensuring the normal operation of the feudal state machinery. The only difference between officials and officials is that officials are in charge of government orders and officials are in charge of affairs. In other words, officials are mainly responsible for managing the books.

The administrative affairs of the department or region focus on macro-management and control, and have certain decision-making power, thus presenting functions such as guidance, management, supervision, and coordination.

The official and the official and the official are engaged in the specific practical work of the department. They perform the tasks assigned by their superiors, and their functions are more prominent. The official and official and official in the Song Dynasty were spread throughout the organization at all levels, and because of the centralization of power

The strengthening of the system and the expansion of bureaucratic politics, as a relatively political force, appears more active on the political stage.

"Your Majesty was the "unity of officials and soldiers" system of the king and prime minister back then, so as to reduce officials and personnel at the same time?" Li Gang reacted quickly and immediately thought of it.

During the reign of Emperor Shenzong, he had cut down on too many officials. In Wang Anshi's own words, "The officials have enough salary and political affairs will be carried out, and political affairs will be carried out, and political affairs will be carried out will be greatly beneficial." For this reason, he proposed that the officials and soldiers will be united.

'The idea is to implement the immunity law, allowing merchants to pay more money to increase their salaries. On the other hand, the warehouse law is implemented at the same time, that is, severely punishing corrupt officials who are corruption and abused.

Later, this experience was promoted to Beijing Hundreds of 100 ounces of money and local institutions. The stolen money can be punished by a hundred ounces, and the 100 ounces of 10 ounces were assassinated. Not only that, people were encouraged to report and expose them and give them a reward of 100 ounces. Unfortunately, Wang Anshi's officials and soldiers were combined.

One's approach was abandoned halfway with the failure of the reform, and the original administrative rule that had changed has returned to its original state of mind.

"Yes, the salary of officials is meager, and it is extremely difficult to change positions. If you can select talents from them, you can also make them feel at ease and reduce expenses. Wouldn't it be a matter of killing two birds with one stone!" Zhao Qi nodded. Although there were officials in the Song Dynasty.

After all, the minority who may get a job or a half position may have to endure at least twenty or thirty years even if they receive this honor, so these people have to find another way out.

"Now that officials are strong and weak, Your Majesty wants to use this to change the pattern of the court and local governments, promote redundant things, and replace those officials who are unfavorable to do things, but the reputation of officials is too bad, and he is afraid of doing things that will damage the reputation of the officials.

Things!" Li Gang nodded and shook his head, this matter was too big. This kind of matter of using the official office was used during the Taizu period. He once said: It is difficult for officials to seek governance, and if the salary is too small, then the salary is not enough,

Rather than having redundant staff and heavy expenses, it is better to save officials and gain more salary.

"The matter is due to human affairs. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the political affairs of the Song Dynasty were clear and officials could all feel at ease. This was because they focused on rectifying the administration of officials and were diligent in supervision, and the supervisory functions were implemented well. During the Qingli New Policy period, the supervisory department strengthened the supervisory department to prefectures and county officials.

The inspection was one of the measures to rectify the administration of officials, which made the 'lazy people who were ignorant and ignorant, and many people who retired for a while, and the administration of officials in the prefectures and counties have been clarified', and those who are still doing well use national laws." Zhao Qi said.

Zhao Qi also knew that it was not just the Song Dynasty, but historical records were full of records of treacherous officials. Objectively speaking, we should not only see the side of their behavior in various ways, but also pay attention to the normal operation of their entire state machine.

An indispensable role.

In fact, officials in the Song Dynasty implemented the policy of separation of officials, positions and assignments, resulting in the consequences of not having long-term jobs, no responsibilities, and poor government affairs. Most of them did not practice laws and regulations, and they knew little about the old examples and all of them were not good at writing.

Rely on the case-making practices.

But there are also officials who seize the opportunity that officials cannot serve for a long time and take advantage of their lack of government affairs to cheat. They collude with each other, commit traitors and cause harm to society. Even wise officials are difficult to guard against, and officials are strong and weak.

The phenomenon still increases and remains unabated.

Secondly, in administrative affairs, some shrewd and capable officials can also fully utilize their abilities when they are trusted by officials. In addition to entrusting officials, they also allow them to participate in politics and discuss politics and ask for advice, indicating that there are many talented people among the officials.

, In terms of the general functions of the official class in social politics, he plays the role of managing and implementing state government affairs like the entire official team. In addition, as a relatively political force, Lixu has become a restrictive official under the centralization of power.

Important weapon.

The strong official position of officials is not because the status of officials and servants has changed a lot compared to before, but because the role of a political class with ruling functions in social and political life is more prominent than before. Of course, this function is aimed at specific

In society, it has both the side that maintains social stability and consolidates rule, and also the side that harms society and disintegrates rule.

"I'm sure!" Li Gang nodded. This move by the government is a powerful tool to break the deadlock between the court. When the two sides fight, the government is the one who benefits the most, followed by himself, and then his status will be more stable.

As for the concern that the officials and servants are in chaos, it is well known that if a good system can be implemented well, the administration of the government will be clear. If it cannot be implemented well, it will inevitably lead to the government's rule. The dereliction of duty of the supervisor will make the situation worse,

Finally led to today's dilemma... (To be continued...)
