Chapter 353: The Great Turning Point

Two copies of the meeting materials between Wang Qinian and Su Luohai were presented to Zhao and Ju about half a month later, one of these two materials was Wang Qinian's own statement, and the other was the secret performance of the Wenxuan official sent by the Son of Heaven in the army.

In order to strengthen the control of the army, there is now an additional position in the Great Song army, that is, Wenxuan. In addition to commanding operations like ordinary noncommissioned officers, they also have a duty, that is, to educate officers and men on loyalty and patriotism. Therefore, whether it is the Guards or the Forbidden Army, there will be no phenomenon of generals and private soldiers, and through the Wenxuan Officer, the most ordinary soldier, you can feel the emperor's attention and care. The propaganda officials do not intervene in the command of the army, they are the supervisors of the army, but they cannot hinder the military decision-making of the commander-in-chief, but they must report some important matters concerning the commander-in-chief to their superiors through the military propaganda system until they reach the military department and the emperor.

The content of the two documents is largely the same, and Zhao and Ju are quite satisfied with Wang Qinian's changes, he is not only brave in battle, but also quite politically minded, and most importantly, he does not like to waste his wisdom on politics, which is different from Li Ye.

"Your Majesty, the time has come."

A Boya chamberlain came in respectfully and saluted to remind him of the time. Beside Zhao and Ju, there are six Boya Lou attendants, who are responsible for assisting him in handling government affairs, the eldest of these six people is just over forty, and the youngest is over thirty, all of them are young and have some experience in government affairs, they are ambitious, and they are fortunate to be officials by Zhao and Ju's side, as long as they behave well, they can be in the emperor's heart, and the future will soar unlimitedly.

"Are you all here?" Zhao Youju asked casually.

"Everyone has arrived, and no one is absent."

This is a kind of court meeting, but it is not as formal as a grand court meeting, but Zhao and Ju will bring together the heads of various ministries in the DPRK and the central government and officials above the Jiuqing level to discuss issues related to the reform of the official system. Wei Liaoweng was the first to put forward the reform of the official system, which originally reflected the wishes of the scholars and doctors, and by increasing the number of imperial departments, the power taken over by the emperor was divided back again. However, Zhao and Ju used the excuse that the stakes were important and needed to be fully discussed before making a decision, so the newspaper sent Wei Liaoweng's recital.

This means that the idea that these scholars who were originally in Lin'an, who were born in Zhejiang and Fujian, want to control the reform of the official system on their own is shattered, and the more people participate, the more interest disputes there are, and the more interest disputes there are, the more scattered the scholars as a whole become.

However, it will not be possible to drag it out, so Zhao and Ju have been holding meetings on the reform of the official system for two weeks, and the venue is in the newly built auxiliary hall of the Boya Building—this newly built hall is strictly just a conference hall that can seat hundreds of people, which is suitable for Zhao and Ju to hold meetings.

"Let's go."

Zhao Youju was not in a hurry to go, as the emperor, sometimes he had to be deliberately late to remind the courtiers that although he was generous, he was still the most authoritative person in the country.

"Your Majesty, can you decide on a policy for reforming the official system today?"

Soon after the meeting began, Zhao Kui asked urgently, he can be regarded as a representative figure of scholars.

Zhao Youju smiled faintly: "One person's wisdom is short, everyone's wisdom is long, and the official system must be reformed, which is already a recognized thing, but how to change the law, it is a bit hasty to make a decision just by our people." Wouldn't it be better to discuss this matter for a while, and to try to come up with a perfect plan that takes into account the interests of all conveniences? ”

He went around for a long time and still said one sentence, that is, he was not busy making decisions. Zhao Kui's face was slightly gloomy, he hung his head and was silent, but he was very strange in his heart, he didn't know why the Son of Heaven was delaying, if it was to divide the scholars, then after more than 20 days, his purpose had been achieved, if there were other purposes, why did it?

Zhao Kui stroked his forehead a little nervously, because he was sitting, his action did not seem rude. He really couldn't keep up with the way of thinking of this son of heaven, he fell behind step by step when Zhao Jingyun was arrested, and he is still like this now.

He glanced at Zhao Heju again, and the emperor still sat quietly, listening to the courtiers speak one by one, and from time to time he took a pen in his hand to write down the main points of the ministers' speeches on paper, as if he valued everyone's opinions.

In fact, His Majesty does not care about anyone's opinion at all, he is stubborn on all major issues, but so far it seems that every time he is stubborn, the result has proved him right.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kui suddenly felt a little confused, his loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty was unquestionable, and his loyalty to Zhao Heju himself was also average, but he was an authentic scholar, and he had his own position. He didn't think that Zhao Youju was necessarily wrong, but he stubbornly believed that his choice might be better for Da Song and the Son of Heaven.

Yes, the choice in this world is not just as simple as right and wrong, even if it is right, there is also a more right existence.

When Zhao Kui lost his mind, he didn't notice that Zhao Youju was turning the pen in his hand, this was a small habit of his, when he was uneasy and impatient, he would quickly turn the pen, the pen seemed to come to life, jumping and shuttling between the back of his fingers, and it took at least half a minute to stop firmly between his thumb and index finger.

Zhao Youju's heart was not as calm as Zhao Kui saw, on the contrary, his heart was full of anxiety these days.

It was not his only purpose to delay the time and frustrate the scholars' attempts to grasp the spirit of the bureaucratic reform, otherwise he would not have had to make Wei Liaoweng's performance known to the world, and he also had another purpose, which was to take this opportunity to see whether the local officials, especially the officials he had single-handedly promoted, were politically sensitive, and if they did, it would prove that the time was ripe for Zhao and Ju to promote political reform.

But until now, what he expected has not happened, which makes Zhao Heju very uneasy, not to mention others, even Yelu Chucai and Zhao Ziyue, the local officials who came out of Liuqiu, did not understand his intentions, which really made him a little disappointed.

In this battle, although there is no gunsmoke, no sword light and sword shadow, it is still heroic blood. If he only relied on Zhao and Ju alone, he would not succeed no matter what, and he needed to have a force that was closely united around him.

A non-commissioned officer of the Guards quietly appeared behind him, and Long Twelve, who had always been by his side, glanced at the non-commissioned officer, and the non-commissioned officer handed a piece of paper to Long Twelve, who in turn forwarded it to Zhao and Ju.

The courtiers all quieted down, and what was sent to Zhao and Ju at this time should be a great event, and they instinctively noticed something unusual, like a shark smelling blood.

Zhao Youju spread out the paper, looked at it word by word, then closed his eyes and leaned back slightly.

What he had been hoping for had finally arrived.

"This is a joint gift from local officials." In the expectant gaze of the ministers, Zhao Heju handed the piece of paper to Wei Liaoweng: "Wei Qing, read it and listen to it." ”

“…… Therefore, the reform of the imperial court system is a major matter of the state, and it should not be hastily done, but should be decided after His Majesty's advice......"

Wei Weng was a little choppy when he read it, he was a little suspicious at first, and then his voice became high-pitched. The whole twist and turn is very straightforward, it is nothing more than to support the Son of Heaven to preside over the reform of the official system, and the appointment and dismissal of personnel should be decided by the Son of Heaven before there is a better method. If it is handed over to the ministers for public discussion, it is afraid that the group discussion will be raging, and it will be difficult to reach a unified conclusion.

"Yelu Chucai after staying in the Northeast, Zhao Zi said after Yanjing stayed......" After reading the content, there was a whole line of officials who supported it, Yelu Chucai, Zhao Ziyue, etc. were not unexpected, but Wei Liaoweng read the more his voice became lower, because half of those names were scholars from the science path, if they had anything in common, then they all accepted Zhixue, either they were directly interested in Zhixue, or there were intellectuals in their cronies. Moreover, these people, without exception, have been excellent or outstanding in the performance evaluation in recent years.

Unconsciously, there are so many local magistrates who absolutely support the Son of Heaven, what does this mean, the courtiers here are all human spirits, and there is nothing unclear.

When the last name was pronounced, Wei Liaoweng stopped, and after a long time, he slowly pronounced those three words.

"Zhendeok-so."

At the same time, in the Bianliang Liuhou Mansion, Zhen Dexiu licked the tip of the brush, looked at the words he had just written intently, and showed a satisfied smile.

What was written on the paper was Su Shi's song "Fixing the Storm", Zhen Dexiu read his words again, and slowly chanted: "Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not chant and walk slowly...... Looking back at the bleak place, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine. ”

"The word left behind is very well written, it is really a word born from the heart, Poe Lao this word and the wonderful pen after staying, when both are immortal."

Beside him, Xie Yue smiled and complimented, and while speaking, he pressed the paper on the table, as if he was afraid that someone would rob him: "Since you said this painting to the students after staying, you can't break your word!" ”

"Okay, you are a Xie Anren, you have made great progress in kung fu, you have no intention of career, what is the benefit of making the old man's ass?" Jin Deok so said with a smile.

"It's a mistake to say this later, I, Xie Yue, want to shoot on the back, naturally I can shoot without a trace, where can it be like this?" Xie Yue carefully blew the ink: "I really like it tightly, I like it tightly." ”

The two of them said such things indiscriminately, and after a while, Zhen Dexiu restrained his smile: "Anren, I don't know what the situation is in the capital now." ”

"I guess it's loud, silent, loud and invisible." Xie Yue's face twitched slightly, revealing a half-sarcastic smile: "This hand is very gorgeous, but Father Wei Hua will be thinking about it for a long time after that......

With the friendship between Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng, making such a major choice, but not ventilating in advance, will inevitably cause a mustard between the two. In fact, after Cui told Lao Zhishi, except for Wei Liaoweng, who was very vocal at that time, was Zhende Xiu.

"Father Wei Hua knows that I am dedicated to the country, so he will not blame me." Zhen Dexiu explained this, but he was still vaguely ashamed in his heart. This time Wei Liaoweng was bitter, in fact, it was also for his good, he was sandwiched between the Son of Heaven and the scholar, it was already difficult to be a man, if he knew about this in advance, whether he chose to stand on the side of the Son of Heaven or the scholar, it would make him extremely painful.

It's better not to let him know, anyway, in the name of his true virtue show and villain, Shi Dang scolded him, and now he is not afraid of the scholars and doctors following and scolding.

"How do the guilds of the court react?" Zhen Dexiu put aside the annoying things and asked Xie Yue again.

Now Xie Yue has become the most important mastermind of Zhen Dexiu, not only because Xie Yue has studied the subjects of wisdom and wisdom in the past few years, but also because this guy often plays cards according to common sense, and sometimes simply breaks the shackles of the original rules and regulations, which makes people feel refreshed.

Naturally, this person also has a big problem, that is, lustful.

"What else can you react, there are only three things that determine the general trend of the world today, one is money, the second is soldiers, and the third is words...... Zhengong don't stare at me with such eyes, although you don't agree with my words, you can't refute it! ”

Seeing that Zhen Dexiu looked unconvinced and wanted to argue, Xie Yue hurriedly waved his hand, if he debated with Zhen Dexiu, he would not be able to do anything serious today. Zhen Dexiu is the same as his surname, better than Zhen'er, the past two years have been better, if it was changed earlier, it would be even more difficult, no wonder Shi Miyuan wanted to drive him out of the court and then quickly.

"When it comes to money, who can compare to the Son of Heaven, our Son of Heaven has a way to make money, it is said that it is the golden finger given by the true immortal Lu Zu Chunyang in the upper cave, even if the soil can be turned into real gold in his hands! As for the soldiers, not to mention, the Guards are loyal to His Majesty, and the forbidden army is now the same, Zhao Kui can also drive Meng Heng Yu when he is a general, but after so many years in the center, and now he is presiding over the criminal department, you see who else among the generals of the forbidden army listens to him! The third is to say that some time ago, the Japanese doctors forced the Son of Heaven to close the Great Song Times Weekly, and sent Deng Ruoshui and Zhao Jingyun to Xinzhou, which can be regarded as moving back to the game, but the Son of Heaven has many talents in his pocket, and Deng Ruoshui and Zhao Jingyun are gone, but there is a sharper Wu Wenying of the Great Song Daily! Coupled with Wen Tong's photography skills, the Great Song Daily was born, which was no less influential than the original weekly magazine. ”

Half a year has passed since the mining disaster in Jingxi Province in April of the thirteenth year of Yanhuang, and the competition between Zhao and Ju and the scholars in the past six months has been brought out one by one in Xie Yue's laughter and scolding. He said it boldly, and Zhen Dexiu listened carefully, but he didn't stop him.

"If a mad man tries to stop his temperament, it will not be beautiful." Jin Deok-so thought to himself.

"Now the true prince is the first to echo the Son of Heaven in the locality, and most of the provincial road chiefs in the world respond in unison, and the public opinion is completely on the side of the Son of Heaven. Now if they see the opportunity to act, they can also get a piece of the pie, weighing the pros and cons, why worry about them not complying? Xie Yue finally said.
