Chapter 959: When Enterprising

With a dignified array, give the villains in the court a powerful counterattack, so that the world and the court can see that there should be another way to do things, and this is what Su You wants to do.

Here, the emperor's attitude is the most important.

I know my position in Zhao Ji's heart, but as a cadre who is as stable as an old dog, he should also know what to do and what not to do.

It is one thing for the emperor to favor you, but it is another thing to rely on the emperor's favor and trust as the foundation of your life, and you will inevitably be despised and spurned by the courtiers.

It is impossible for a real gentleman with a reputation of "luck" and "flattery" to be tampered with.

But how can you stand with the courtiers and get the emperor's favor?

It's actually quite simple – it works.

As long as you're useful to both parties, that's fine.

Zhao Ji is a king above the level, although he is often impulsive, blind, making mistakes, and playing tricks, but at least he is concerned about the country.

This is what Su You and him have in common, grasp this common point, and the relationship between Su You and Zhao Ji will be unbreakable.

On the courtier's side, there are all kinds of characters, changing them like a marquee, and Su You didn't expect to be valued by everyone.

He just needs to get the support of the group of people who are doing their best for the country and forgetting their lives.

In the 100 years of the Great Song Dynasty, there are actually many such people in this era, but because they lack the theoretical tools, scientific and technological strength and political experience of later generations, although they have the intention to kill thieves, they are unable to return to heaven.

What Su You has to do is to put these things in their hands and tell them how to achieve their ideals.

From small places, the successful experience that is in line with the reality of the Great Song Dynasty has been practiced again and again, and then promoted among the same people, attracting more people with the same way to participate, and finally forming a huge political force.

When this force enters the court, it will bring a full of positive energy to the court.

In real history, moderate reformists are not without them, but they lack a huge and solid foundation from the bottom, so they are suppressed by conservatives and reformers in turn, and they have not even been able to bubble up.

Through more than 20 years of hard work, Su You has built this foundation into a solid one, which will inevitably be reflected in the political game at the top.

Now in the court, although the "reformers" are still in charge, the principals have deteriorated and the talents have withered.

The successors of the younger generations have been reduced to villains who only know how to tilt and retain.

The conservatives have long been scattered in all directions, surrounding the center with localities, and disobeying the orders of the center.

But they are all veterans, and the reformers are also shaking, so they can only hunt juniors like Su Shi to satisfy their hunger.

It was an opportunity that Su You decided to seize.

And at this time, what does the emperor need most? What do you want to do most?

In Su You's memory, a historical event will happen next year - Yuanfeng reform.

The reform of Yuanfeng in real history did not completely solve the chronic problems of the Song Dynasty, and finally became a tool for Zhao Ji to consolidate his power.

Although the political power of the Great Song Dynasty has shifted significantly from the side of the imperial power, the help to the country is not obvious.

The imperial power of the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be the weakest in all Chinese dynasties, and it is understandable for Zhao Ji to ask for greater power.

Su You only needs to make the restructuring more refined and pragmatic on the premise of recognizing this, which can be beneficial to the country, and then it can meet the needs of the majority of political forces.

Under the banner of the emperor's will, under the banner of restoring the ancient system, under the banner of recovering the general pattern of the Han and Tang dynasties, and mixing their own things here, this official reform can become both rich and healthy.

This is the effect of medicinal diet, something that only a clever chef can make.

The political system structure of the Great Song Dynasty is actually very reasonable, and the problems lie in efficiency, implementation, and responsibility.

Where is the best place to start? The place you are is the best target.

Taiwan, the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven.

The imperial history corrects the hundred officials of the province and advises the Son of Heaven.

In the Tang Dynasty, each performed its own responsibilities, and gradually merged into one in the Song Dynasty.

But since when did the ears grow claws and the eyes fangs?

This is obviously a department that lacks checks and balances and supervision, so can there be such a department lacking checks and balances in the DPRK and China?

The answer is yes.

But such a department can only act as eyes, noses, ears, mouthpieces, and if it wants to exist independently without checks and balances, it must give up its minions.

In other words, the Imperial Historical Observatory should only be a procuratorial organ, with only the power to investigate, supervise, and prosecute major cases and public officials, and the right to protest against the judgments of the judicial department, similar to the later Supreme People's Procuratorate.

The case was filed, interrogated, and sentenced to the real minion department, Dali Temple, similar to the later Supreme Court.

The actual collection of evidence, investigation, and arrest required the cooperation of the yamen in various places, similar to the later public security.

Within the judicial system, there is a separation of powers, each performing its own duties, mutual restraint, and mutual supervision.

The system of the Song Dynasty was actually very advanced, and only in terms of the judicial organs, on the one hand, it inherited the system of the Tang Dynasty, and on the other hand, it also had its own changes.

The first is the step-by-step upgrade, and the second is the supervision and checks and balances.

In the center, the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department check each other, and then there is a trial and punishment court to supervise.

At the local level, due to the integration of the judiciary and administration, the power of affairs is vested in the transfer envoy of the county and the state.

But in order to make officials pay attention to the rule of law, the Song law also specifically stipulated that local officials must hear cases in person, otherwise they would be sentenced to two years in prison.

In order to better supervise them, a criminal and prison department has been set up at the road level to oversee the administration of justice in the states and counties.

Such a system should be said to be very good, at least in later generations, it was not until a thousand years later that there was such a department, the Legislative Affairs Commission, and the power and strength were far inferior to the Criminal Division.

Therefore, because of the need to offset the problems of reporting channels, communication and transportation, investigation costs, and the inability to adopt flat management, the measures taken by the Great Song Dynasty were even stricter than those of later generations.

The problem is that all this only exists in the system, and because of the unclear responsibilities and powers, just like the Yushitai, the eyebrows and mustaches are grasped, or several hands are grasped at the same time, which leads to people floating and procrastinating, resulting in extremely low administrative efficiency.

There is also the unclear governance of officials, although the officials of the Song Dynasty are still upright, but the officials are as clear as water, the officials are as smooth as oil, and the execution has been reduced by more than half.

The most fundamental problem is that the salaries of the officials are insufficient.

People don't rely on your profession to eat, they are local heroes, they have their own industry, mix their identity, just for their own convenience, how much do you expect to contribute to you?

Therefore, political problems, in fact, can still find their roots in economic and social problems.

Su You drew up an outline and wrote down a few lines of small characters - official system, politics, finance, military, water conservancy, transportation, people's livelihood, education, atmosphere, and national character.

In any system, the decisive factor lies in the people, so it is necessary to start with the executors of the system, the officials.

The disadvantages of the dynasty are in the four redundancy, official, political, military, and poor.

Taizu Honglie, cut the strong domain, flat separation, all Chen stayed and the policy was in the Yu, and the counties were listed and the Qing Jiuyuan was clear. The north and south are repeated and embedded, and the world is almost mixed. Stopping the fight with force, to the peace of the world, and the lord of heroism.

He also punished the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, which was to collect the world's elite soldiers, wealth, and governance power in China and the DPRK. The upper and lower are peaceful, the inside and outside are feasting, the martial arts are prosperous, and the culture is also beautiful.

The town of the Absolute Martial Arts Domain is in trouble, and the wind of literature and morality is prosperous. Declare the rule of cultural relics, the wind of morality and benevolence, such as the Han and Tang dynasties, cover without concessions.

After some exaggeration, there was a turning point - a hundred years in order, and the beginning of decline.

Next, he began to tell about the problems encountered by the Great Song Dynasty, the ancestors did not recover the clouds, resulting in no screen in the north, and they could only be surrounded by elite soldiers under the capital, and the four realms were also heavily armed.

Even so, the enemy dared to enter the country in March with half a month's worth of food, sweeping the people like locusts, which was called "beating the grass valley".

After several defeats, the country was burdened with the annual currency, and its finances became more and more difficult.

At the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, the country was already on the verge of collapse, but he was determined to forge ahead, to remove the old and to make the new, and the atmosphere was renewed.

After ten years of hard work, it has completely reversed the passive situation.

The Song Dynasty was the time to forge ahead.
