Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

That is to say, split the head of the Shangshu Province into two, and let the head of the Zhongshu Province and the head of the sect province concurrently.

In this way, the prime minister of Zhongshu Province can not only promulgate government orders, but also manage the implementation of the six ministries.

The Zuo Cheng and You Cheng of the Shangshu are the assistants of the left and right ministers in governing.

And headed by the right minister.

This is the configuration of the court hall after Song Shenzong Yuanfeng's reform.

Shenzong hoped to improve administrative efficiency through such a restructuring, but the effect was not good.

Because civil servants are becoming more and more bloated and overstaffed, it is definitely not something that can be achieved by changing the official system.

Shang Shu Zuo Cheng Cai Mao is not easy to provoke, his father is Cai Que, the servant of Song Zhezong, that is, Zuo Xiang, deputy prime minister.

(In Song Dynasty, the left minister was the deputy prime minister, and the right minister was the prime minister)

And his father-in-law is even more awesome, Feng Jing!

Feng Jing was the No. [-] scholar in Song Renzong's period, and he was the last No. [-] scholar in the Song Dynasty.

What is ternary and first?

First place in all the township examinations, general examinations, and palace examinations.

Feng Jing had not only served as a political adviser, that is, the current assistant minister Zuoxiang, but also served as a privy secretary, that is, Zhang Jun's position, the top leader of the Privy Council.

The disciples are all over the world.

More importantly, Feng Jing was also demoted, and he was demoted because he opposed Wang Anshi's reform.

Cai Mao, in the political arena, is undoubtedly wearing several halos.

The Cai family and the Feng family behind them are both big and big, with deep roots.

Li Chunyou belongs to Cai Mao, and Cai Mao is the son-in-law of Feng Jing of the old school.

The struggle between the old and new factions of Wang Anshi's reform did not end until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was not completely over until Zhao Gou re-established the Southern Song Dynasty.

Cai Mao is a typical old party. When it comes to reform, the old party is no longer thinking about the rationality of the reform, but as long as it is a reform, it is wrong.

This is the same as arguing about various issues on the Internet in the 21st century. Everyone is not discussing the issue itself, but an emotional confrontation.

Su Shi, a centrist, thought that Wang Anshi was too hasty, and that Sima Guang was too conservative and pedantic, so he did not please both sides.

A truly sober person cannot speak, and when he speaks, he comes to the "Wutai Poetry Case".

So, the "Gyeonggi Road New Policy Regulations" that Chen Dong is working on now, in the eyes of the old school, it is the resurgence of Wang Anshi's new law, and it is adding fuel and firewood, trying to rekindle the flame of the new law.

Although the old sects lost power during Song Zhezong's period and were beaten to disgrace during Cai Jing's period, some people just hid in the cracks of the court, waiting for opportunities.

The opportunist Cai Jing, who was targeting Wang Anshi's successor, went to the field, and the old party's opportunity came.

The Song Dynasty entered the first year of Jingkang, and the Jin army went south, and the court entered into a mysterious operation.

For example, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan didn't want to retreat from the enemy, but summoned ministers to invite Wang Anshi out of the Taimiao.

Putting the main reason for the situation of the Jin people going south to Wang Anshi is to blame Wang Anshi for his reforms, which made the Song Dynasty like this.

Later, when Zhao Gou established the Southern Song Dynasty, he wanted to attribute the main reason for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty to Wang Anshi, and demoted Wang Anshi as a treacherous minister through the ages.

But in fact, without Wang Anshi, the finances of the Song Dynasty would have collapsed long ago.

Shenzong couldn't carry out Yuanfeng reform, and the essence of Yuanfeng reform was to strengthen the imperial power and weaken the prime minister's power. For example, if Shangshu Zuocheng was appointed deputy prime minister, the emperor could directly step over the prime minister and let Shangshu Zuocheng execute government orders.

Strengthening the imperial power is of course an act of offending the scholar-bureaucrats, and most of the scholar-officials in the world complain about Wang Anshi because of their interests.

Back to the debate in the Zhengshitang this time, the chief ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as senior officials from various ministries were present.

Shangshu Youcheng Xu Han said: "Everyone, don't take the discussion sideways. Now we are discussing the issue of officials besieging the Agriculture Department. Who instigated this?"

Li Chunyou said: "Why did those officials go to see Chen Dong, because Chen Dong's new policy is a disaster for the country! This is someone who used the name of reform to form a party for personal gain. Isn't this Cai Jing back then! Cai Jing was personally deposed by the current emperor ! You all forgot?"

The big hat was buttoned, and the surroundings fell into silence.

Zhao Ding said: "Xu Xianggong is right. Why are there so many officials besieging the Agriculture Department? This is the Great Song Dynasty. Political Secretary, what a shame!"

Cai Mao said: "My lord, shouldn't we reflect on why there are dozens of officials besieging it? This is a big matter. If someone insists on going his own way and causes even greater chaos, how will it end?"

Cai Mao glanced at the crowd again, and said, "Have the rations and salaries for the front line been prepared? What if the gold thieves send troops at this time!"

Fall into silence again.

"Gao Qiu beat up the imperial court official at the gate of the Department of Agricultural Affairs. How is this proper? If the imperial court is corrupt, how can we ensure the stability of the people's hearts? If the people's hearts are not stable, how can we fight against the gold thieves together?"

One sharp question after another was thrown out, and various forces got involved on the grounds of the new agricultural regulations of the Department of Agricultural Affairs.

Obviously, the opponents have already formed a huge force by coincidence, and they are like a mountain lying in front of them.

This is just the capital, what kind of reaction will it cause in Sifu?

At this moment, the resistance to reform is truly revealed.

At this time, Zhao Ning had arrived at the palace.

And Gao Qiu also quickly entered Wende Hall, and presented the confession collected in the morning to Zhao Guan's family.

Chapter 201 They may all be spies of the Jinren! (first update)

The confession provided by Gao Lian appeared to be an extremely worthless confession on the surface.

As for the besieging of the Agricultural Affairs Department by officials, these officials gave a lot of confessions. They only said that it was Yang Bing who suggested it at the beginning, and that they went to the Agricultural Affairs Department to find out more details from Chen Dong. They did not say that they were going to besiege.

Society is complex, and social organizations are also complex. As long as there are more than 15 people, it will become complicated.

At the beginning of the proposal, he was collectively coaxed by the emotional officials. He ran to the Department of Agricultural Affairs and saw that the Imperial Guards were guarding him. The more he thought about it, the more angry he began to scold him.

This is the group.

As for being organized and premeditated?

With the way of trial of the Imperial City Division, if there is no organized and premeditated trial, then there may be no premeditation.

However, it is only possible.

The trial of this kind of case is actually very simple. The instigators and organizers can be identified by comparing the key questions of each official and comparing them with multiple copies.

In fact, Yang Bing just raised his mouth, and everyone started to act.

And the key question behind it is that when Yang Bing mentioned it, everyone acted, which means that everyone was together at that time.

Why are grassroots officials from different yamen suddenly together?

This in itself is unreasonable!

As for why they were together, the reason was also asked, and the new policy was discussed.

Who initiates the negotiation?

Yang Bing.

Why is Yang Bing so active?

His confession is that he thinks this new policy has problems and risks.

Look, such high-sounding words.

Make yourself as if you fucking care about the common people in the world!

Isn't it just a trick of political speculation?

The boss understood it, and the subordinates wanted to take this opportunity to gain fame and take a gamble.

If successful, promotion is a rocketship.

If he fails, he will be dismissed at worst, and he can be promoted again in the future.

This is one of the common routines in Song Dynasty officialdom.

Hehe, are you playing tricks with me?

I don't know how to play tricks?

Zhao Ning said calmly: "Recently, secret operations by the Jin people have been rampant. For the safety of the country, we went to check the accounts. All the private accounts of these officials' homes were carefully checked."

Gao Qiu immediately understood, and he said: "Yes, I will arrange someone to do it."

After speaking, he turned around and left.

"return."

"What else does the official want?"

"Where are the instigators behind these gangsters?"

Gao Qiu said: "Run away, but the minister has already sent someone to arrest him."

"Can you catch it back?"

"It is said that it is Wang Qilang from the Chengdong Club, and I will send more people."

The messengers of the bandits are organized and premeditated.

It was very difficult to catch a person running alone in the 20th century, let alone the 12th century.

"Now you have to give me an explanation right away?"

Gao Qiu immediately understood: "I understand that recently, Jinren's secret operations have been rampant and hidden among the people, so I sent people to strictly investigate various clubs in the city, and be prepared to monitor and prevent them at any time."

Clubs and associations are really popular in Song Dynasty.

From princes and aristocrats, down to ordinary people, and even desperadoes, they all love to form cliques and play clubs.

For example, literati play "wine club" and "tea club", "Qiyun club" plays Cuju, and "Miming club" and "Bawang club" are formed by desperadoes.

The one in Liangshan was formed by the merger of civil societies.

There are also various clubs with a strong military color in the folk areas, even down to the Baojia at the grassroots level.

Whenever there is unrest in the local area, the people form associations to protect themselves one after another. Village associations are armed all over the country, and associations buy weapons.

These are the associations of the Song people recorded in the annals of history.

Therefore, at that time, Zong Ze repelled the Jin army in Hebei, raised his arms, and hundreds of thousands of volunteers gathered to respond, most of which were attributed to civil society organizations.

These have advantages and disadvantages. If they are used well, they can be included in the army to supplement combat power. If they are not well controlled, they will be bandits and cause trouble. For example, the betrayed Li Cheng is a member of the civil society, who is also working hard in troubled times.

Another example is Zhao Ning's defense of Tokyo the year before last. Whether it was recruiting soldiers or transporting food, most of them borrowed the power of various civil society organizations in Tokyo.

But right now, the club's hand has actually reached out to the Yamen of the Agricultural Affairs Bureau, and this is the city of Tokyo, at the feet of the emperor.

And that happens to be for a reason.

"Go ahead, this matter is related to the safety of my country in the Song Dynasty, and it has something to do with gold thieves. Remember, we must publicize this point, understand?"

"I understand."

Ransacking the house... Oh no, auditing the accounts, this kind of thing is easy for the Secretary of the Imperial City.

In the political affairs hall of the Eastern Mansion, the debate between the two sides continued until the evening, when everyone became angry and their faces became uglier than the other.

"Go, go see Your Majesty!"

Crowds of people arrived at the gate of Wende Hall.

It seems that there was no result in the final debate. Both sides insisted on their own opinions and planned to bring this matter to Zhao Guan's house.

According to the rules, if there is a huge disagreement in the three gatherings, the ministers of Zhongshusheng, Menxiasheng, and Shangshusheng cannot reach an agreement, and His Majesty can make a decision.

Zhao Ning smiled knowingly when he heard that the officials of the East Mansion asked to see him.

"Xuan come in."

Everyone entered the Wende Hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Li Chunyou, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, preempted the attack. His expression and tone were adjusted instantly, and he squeezed his voice and shouted with a bit of grief and resoluteness: "Your Majesty! Something big happened! Something big happened!" Already!"

Mo Chou on the side looked at Li Chunyou with the eyes of girls looking at green tea whores, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

The other officials hurriedly said: "I will see Your Majesty."

"All free."

Zhao Ning's eyes fell on Li Chunyou: "Li Qing, why are you in such a panic?"

Li Chunyou said: "Your Majesty, 35 officials went to the Department of Agricultural Affairs to learn about the new policy, but they were injured by Gao Qi, and all of them were arrested."

Zhao Ning seemed to be hearing it for the first time, showing a surprised expression: "Oh?"
