The Dispatch Academy, originally set up by Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, was responsible for Shaoqing, supervising the examination of the following classes, and annotating the dispatch affairs, and later set up the Mokan Beijing Dynasty Official Academy, which was renamed the Judge Yuan the following year, and the Dispatch House was also merged into the Judge Academy, which was responsible for the examination of the Beijing Dynasty officials, and was divided into internal and external envoys, which was simply responsible for the assessment of officials.

The Inquisitorial Court generally has two people, who are responsible for the evaluation and promotion of civil and military officials, and are mainly concurrently held by the Imperial Servant, although the position is not high, but it has real power, and belongs to the kind of officials who compete with each other in the officialdom.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Inquisitionist Yuan is actually exercising part of the functions of the Ministry of Officials in the Six Ministries, but in the Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty, the Six Ministries have long been hollowed out, and even the Ministry of Officials does not care about the affairs of the Ministry, so the assessment of officials must naturally be a separate department, which is also the Inquisitionist Yuan, which can also be seen that the officialdom structure of the Great Song Dynasty has been full of loopholes from the beginning, and later the loopholes were directly patched, so many unprecedented administrative institutions were born.

However, today's court of judges has caused a major earthquake in the officialdom, because at the time of this morning, Zhao Zhen ordered the court of judges to be merged into the Ministry of Officials, responsible for the appointment and dismissal of officials, examinations, promotions, awards, transfers and other affairs, although this is the responsibility of the Court of Judges, but the key is not here, but the fact that the Court of Judges was merged into the Ministry of Officials.

The six ministries have existed in name only since the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the official positions in the six ministries can only become the official rank of the official officer, and do not control the power of the official position itself, and the direct substantive position needs to be determined by the minister, which has almost become a rule in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, now that the Inquisitorial Court has been merged into the Ministry of Officials, it is actually equivalent to returning the original functions of the Ministry of Officials, making the Ministry of Officials change from a fictitious yamen to a real power yamen, and restore the original functions of the Ministry of Officials.

In fact, if you only look at the merger of the Inquisitor into the Ministry of Officials itself, it is actually not a big deal, it is nothing more than a change in some official positions, but the impact of this matter is extremely significant, because this is the first time since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty that the Ministry of Officials has real power, and although only the Ministry of Officials has been changed now, will the other five departments change in the next time.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, although the functions of the six ministries are different, but in fact they are one, and now the ministry has real power, so the other five ministries are not far from being substantial, but if the military department has real power, what should the Privy Council do? With the real power of the household department, how should the three divisions deal with themselves?

The Privy Council and the Three Divisions are the core institutions of the Central Committee of the Great Song Dynasty, if they are moved, it can almost be said that the entire officialdom will be overturned and reconstructed, and this is no longer an earthquake in the officialdom, but the reconstruction of the entire ruling institution of the Great Song Dynasty, so when the news of the merger of the Inquisition Yuan into the Ministry of Officials came out, the entire officialdom was in a sensation, and almost all the officials were discussing the possible impact of this matter.

Compared with the shock of the outside world, Zhao Zhen and Lu Yijian, who are at the core of power, are very calm about the monarchs and ministers, and even except for the holy decree issued by Zhao Zhen, there is no other explanation, and there are no other five departments, and Lu Yijian is also silent about this matter, and does not seem to pay much attention to this matter.

The reaction to Zhao Zhen and Lu Yijian also puzzled many officials in the Great Song Dynasty, so they turned their eyes to Li Zhang, because they knew that only Li Zhang could solve the doubts in their hearts, and as a result, for a while, Li Zhang's mansion was also crowded with guests, and everyone wanted to get some useful news from him.

"Close the door and thank the guests, just say that I am sick during this time, and I will not see any outsiders for the time being!" Li Zhang ordered directly to the housekeeper in the house.

In fact, the merger of the Inquisitor Yuan into the Ministry of Officials this time is not only the first step for Zhao Zhen to rectify the rule of officials, but also a test for their entire Song Dynasty officialdom, mainly to see their reaction to this matter, but whether the officials support or oppose it, this change will be carried out, the difference is only the size of the change.

However, Li Zhang's closed-door thanksgiving can stop others, but he can't stop real friends, for example, someone came to visit on this day, Li Zhang could only invite the other party in, and Han Qi also smiled when he saw him: "Brother Li, you must know my intention, is there anything you can tell me?" ”

Han Qi is one of Li Zhang's few friends, and the two met as teenagers, and they have often corresponded over the years, so they must not turn him away, of course, Han Qi is also very considerate of Li Zhang, and directly asked if there was anything he could tell him, if not, he would not force it.

"Others definitely don't, but I can still say a few words about you, Brother Han, but according to what I said, Brother Han, your official position is probably going to move recently!" Li Zhang immediately replied with a smile, Han Qi is also one of the staunch reformers, which also attracted Zhao Zhen's attention, plus Han Qi is a rising star in the officialdom, so Han Qi will also be reused this time.

"Oh? Where do you want me to go? Han Qi's eyes lit up when he heard Li Zhang's words, he participated in the recovery of Yanyun before, and also played an important role in stabilizing Yanyun in the future, but he was transferred back to the capital with Liu Ping, and he had just served as the right commander, so he didn't expect his position to change again.

"Privy Council." Li Zhang said with a smile.

In fact, Han Qi made a great contribution to the recovery of Yanyun before, and he should have been reused, but the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty was ranked according to seniority, and the officials above did not retire, and the officials below naturally could not be promoted, so he could only be temporarily placed in the position of the right commander, and now with Chen Yaozuo, Wang Sui and others being demoted, the position is naturally vacant, plus Zhao Zhen needs to promote some young and promising officials for future reforms, so Han Qi is naturally the first batch of candidates.

"Privy Council!" Han Qi also showed a look of ecstasy when he heard Li Zhang's words, with his current position and his previous political achievements, going to the Privy Council will definitely not be an ordinary position, of course, the privy envoy must not think about it, but even if it is a deputy envoy, it can also be considered in the political hall, which is equivalent to becoming one of the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and this is also the ultimate dream of the Great Song Dynasty officials.

"Brother Han, you can enter the political hall at a young age, although it seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact, you also have to bear huge pressure, and Your Majesty will have more things to deal with in the future, and then there will be a time for you to work hard!" Li Zhang smiled again at the moment, and by the way, pointed out that Han Qi went to the Privy Council this time to serve as the deputy privy envoy.

Han Qi is also a very smart character, and when he heard Li Zhang's hint, he immediately laughed excitedly, and then thanked Li Zhang, although his promotion was mainly due to his own merits, but if Li Zhang did not contribute from it, it would not have been possible to rise so fast.
