Chapter 67 Reorganization of the Privy Council

Zhao Gou dismissed the Privy Council Deputy on his first day in office, a move that shocked the Privy Council Ministers. They knew that Zhao Gou was not good at stubble, and his style was resolute and resolute, without scruples. Everyone knows that Wang Li is a high-ranking person, Zhao Gou still dares to touch him, and he doesn't know where his confidence comes from, this courage makes everyone admire, but also worried, for fear that he will follow in Wang Li's footsteps, looking at him tremblingly and frightened, not daring to have the slightest disrespect.

Zhao Gou looked at everyone intently, everyone lowered their heads, only to see Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "You are a rare talent in the Great Song Dynasty, in a high position, anyone who enters the Privy Council as an official, more or less has some ability, in the future, Lord Ben will not allow the Privy Council ministers to be powerful outside, as long as they are known by the official, they will be dismissed and investigated." I will not investigate what you were like before, and after that, you must fulfill your duties on any day, and if someone dares to fail to do nothing, the first warning, the second time you will be fined for half a year, and the third time you will be dismissed and investigated. ”

"If there is really something that cannot be on duty, then take leave in advance, and the reason for the emergency can be explained afterwards, and if there is such a thing after verification, then the punishment will be waived. To put it simply, all incumbent officials will arrive on time regardless of their positions, and if there is another situation that happens today, Hugh blames Lord Ben for being ruthless, and do not forget that there are many ministers in the DPRK and China who want to enter the Privy Council as officials. ”

The meaning of Zhao Gou's words is understood by everyone. If there is a next time, he doesn't mind all the dismissals and investigations. After all, in the eyes of other officials, the Privy Council ministers have the most oil and water, and the military and political power is controlled by a part, and anyone who enters the Privy Council as an official must have a certain amount of talent, or the emperor's most trusted person to hold important positions. Even if he was transferred from the Privy Council to other official positions, he was sought after by many people, and it became an institution that competed to chase his dreams.

What Zhao Gou said was clearly consistent with what he did. If he really disobeyed Zhao Gou's order, he didn't mind a thorough reshuffle and replace everyone. Therefore, the people can only obey orders and do what they are told. From now on, they can only arrive at their posts on time, do not dare to be late, or be absent without reason, or the official position will not be guaranteed, and they may be sent to the prison for investigation.

"All of you are in the Privy Council, and you are all colleagues, and you have close personal relations. The official does not interfere in personal relations, strictly prohibits those who form parties for personal gain, and those who find it are all eliminated, and will never enter the Privy Council as an official. In addition, I would like to emphasize that all matters concerning the Privy Council, no matter how big or small, are classified as top secrets, and those who leak them are considered guilty of treason, even if they are your relatives, must not be said to me, and must be given strict state secrets. ”

Everyone looked at Zhao Gou dumbfounded, opening their mouths wide, feeling incredible. During their time in the Privy Council, they had never heard anyone say anything like "state secret". At the beginning, the envoys of the Privy Council were always empty, and the supreme minister was also the deputy envoy. The words that Zhao Gou said, as well as the words, made them dizzy and unable to keep up with their train of thought.

In their eyes, the Privy Council was a relatively important institution of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was also the hub of military and political power. However, they had never heard of the Privy Council, which was not allowed to be discussed, nor could it be divulged, leaving them somewhat unclear. It was very different from the previous regulations, and someone asked out loud: "My lord, the lower officials don't understand something!" What is a 'state secret'? And how? ”

The person's question did not arouse Zhao Gou's disgust, but he felt that this person was a little bold, and smiled: "You are good, if you don't understand, you have to ask, don't worry." There must be a teacher in the threesome, and if you don't understand anything, you can say it. ”

"Since you have this question, let me ask you, what kind of body is the Privy Council? It is in charge of the military and political power of the Great Song Dynasty and is a very important institution. The military and political affairs in the Great Song Dynasty must be strictly reviewed by the Privy Council, and then reported to the emperor for decision. If there is urgent information coming from the border gates, it is necessary to deal with the matter in a timely manner, put aside everything in hand, and put the country first. If you fail to keep it a secret, the ministers of the DPRK and China will know about it, and even the people will know it. ”

Everyone was silent, all recalling Zhao Gou's words. When they think about it, they feel that they are right, and this matter really cannot be publicized. If the good news is spread frequently and leaked out, it can still be celebrated by the whole world, but if the bad news is known by the ministers and the people, people will inevitably be panicked, and there will be chaos in the world at that time. No one can afford such a responsibility, not even Zhao Gou. Even if Zhao Gou was the prince, he didn't dare to say that he was safe and sound.

"The fact that colleagues can enter the Privy Council shows the trust that the Holy God has in you. Since the emperor trusts you, you can't live up to the emperor's trust and trust. Zhao Gou said with a dry face, "The Privy Council that this official expects is peaceful, and does not allow any open and secret fighting, forming parties for personal gain, and committing adultery." Since he served in the Privy Council, regardless of his official position, he must fulfill his duties, be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, consider the society of the Great Song Dynasty, and seek the well-being of the people of the world. Since he is here to serve, he must dare to face difficulties, solve difficulties, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of the powerful, the punishment will be punished, anyone who violates the laws of the Great Song Dynasty will be treated equally, and the prince will be guilty of the same crime as the common people, and he will be rewarded for his merit. As long as you fulfill your duties and are honest and honest, you will definitely be promoted to the rank of saint and become famous in history, have you ever understood? ”

Everyone echoed loudly: "Xiaguan understands! ”

Zhao Gou glanced at it, and there was a hint of brightness in everyone's eyes. He firmly grasped everyone's desire to be promoted to an official and a knight, and his desire to go down in history, so that everyone could see a different Zhao Gou and hope. Those who are officials do not think about the people, do not think about the society of the country, covet comfort, only for themselves, so it is useless to stay; If you are loyal and patriotic, sincerely consider the Great Song Dynasty, and do practical things, you should be rewarded.

At the beginning, Wang Li, as a deputy envoy, covered the sky with one hand, and Song Huizong was beyond the reach of the whip, so he could only let it go. Wang Li has Gao Yu behind him, which is really a headache. Song Huizong had to send Zhao Gou into the Privy Council without moving, that is, to remove the tumor, and if he wanted to treat the symptoms and the root cause, in addition to the steady pace, he also had to make ruthless moves. Zhao Gou's appointment as an envoy to the Privy Council was unexpected and reasonable, and the consequences of taking office were a shot in the arm, injected into the Privy Council, so that all officials could see the hope of being promoted to the rank of knight.

Not everyone is like Wang Li, if they want to be safe and sound in the officialdom, in addition to standing in the right position, they must also learn to follow the flames. When Wang Li was in power, he deceived his superiors and subordinates, making the Privy Council miserable, and the officials did not think about the people, but only for the sake of promotion and wealth, and flattered them. After Wang Li fell, some people secretly applauded in their hearts, and some people were afraid, and these people were like Wang Li. Now, Zhao Gou is resolute and resolute, and the rewards and punishments are clear, and it will take some time to change the past style and completely change the Privy Council.

As long as Zhao Gou is in the Privy Council for a day, they will not dare to make the slightest move, if they are caught by Zhao Gou, their official position will not be guaranteed, their future will be worried, and their lives will be worried. Moreover, most people are willing to obey Zhao Gou's orders, and they can't make waves, so they can only obediently obey orders.

From the beginning to give everyone a ruthless, iron-faced and selfless image, to being honest and honest, with clear rewards and punishments, let everyone understand that Zhao Gou, who is only twelve years old, is not a child, nor is he here to play, he is a real gun, and he can't help but be happy.

At the same time, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong sat on the dragon chair, listened carefully to the man's report, and then let him leave, laughed heartily, picked up the teacup, drank the tea, nodded appreciatively, and his eyes were full of joy. The situation reported by that person was everything that happened to Zhao Gou in the Privy Council, and Song Huizong was worried that Zhao Gou would not be able to shake those people. Unexpectedly, Zhao Gou quietly gained the respect of everyone, and also dealt with Wang Li, who he had never dared to deal with, and he was also happy in his heart.

"The combination of grace and power should be the best way to win people's hearts, so that those people will not dare to make mistakes." Song Huizong whispered and muttered, "It still needs to be tempered!" …… There must be hidden dangers in keeping this person, and this person must be dealt with, so as not to give them an excuse to fight back against Lao Jiu! ……”
