Chapter 316: The Party Throws in Song

The year has just passed, the privy deputy envoy Li Shi died, dropped out of the dynasty for a few days, and gave the right servant of the book to shoot, and the name Xiancheng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the death of Lee, there were some minor changes in the Privy Council. Zhang Shixun was changed from a privy envoy to a privy councillor, and Wang Deyong, Sheng Du and Han Yi were also privy councillors. Immediately afterwards, Du Yan, the former imperial historian who was expelled from Beijing by Lu Yijian two years ago, returned to Beijing to serve as a member of the Privy Council, ranking behind Wang Deyong and above others.

The ranking of the position of the chief executive is that the prime minister comes first, the privy envoy comes second, the privy council affairs are second, then the governor's affairs, then the privy deputy envoy, and then the turn of the privy councillor, and the signing and so on are ranked last.

The Privy Counsellor and the Privy Councillor are both officers of the Privy Council, with the same functions and powers, but with high and low status, and are generally used in turn before that. In this change, although there was little change in personnel and official positions, the status of the Privy Council was reduced compared to that of the Chinese Secretariat.

Since the beginning of the New Deal, the imperial court has money in its hands, and all kinds of political affairs have been carried out quite smoothly. In contrast, there were too many problems in the army last year, and this change reflected the dissatisfaction of the emperor and the court with the actions of the Privy Council some time ago.

At this time, the Song Dynasty sang and danced up and down, and it was a prosperous scene. After so many years since the founding of the country, it has only now truly achieved a lack of use, and officials at all levels, from the central to the local, have a sense of raising their eyebrows and pride. The government finally began to get used to it, and no longer worried about how to collect money every day, but began to think about tax reduction, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, one by one. Xu Ping has been talking about spending money in the past two years, and it is only now that it is slowly accepted.

This is something that has never happened before, since ancient times, the government has relied on the imperial grain and national tax to live, only from the bottom to the top, how can there be a reason to send money to the bottom? But Xu Ping turned this dream into a reality. The money supervisor printed the money on paper, and the various yamen headed by the three divisions wanted to spend the printed money, and many officials felt amazing when they thought about it.

Crises often sow seeds in times of prosperity, and the more times like these, the more we cannot relax. Unlike others, Xu Ping did not dare to relax, and was bent on fixing, institutionalizing, and forming laws for the good policies that have been proven now. Since the New Year, he has taken the people of the three divisions to sort out the policies of the past two years, no matter how big or small, and go up to the detailed edict office.

The nominal task of the Imperial Decree was to organize the edicts, delete and merge them, and compile the completed edicts into a book. In fact, this is the legislature, and in addition to the edicts that have been sorted out, these edicts will also be interpreted, and together they are the law. In other words, it is possible that the original edict was just a reason, and the real intent was in those interpretations.

The compilation of one state and one county is presided over by the local governor, and the three divisions are implicated in a wide range of cases, although the compilation is the edict of the first division, it is still necessary for the governor to raise it in name. Chen Zhizhong and Han Yi raised the hook, in fact, they only grasped the general direction, and the specific work had to be done by Xu Ping and the people of the three divisions, and finally the two of them were promoted and reviewed.

Since Song Taizu, in order to prevent his descendants from messing up state affairs, he has always paid attention to the construction of the system. Theoretically, the political affairs of the Song Dynasty required one thing and one system, everything had a system, and if there was no system, it would be used as a precedent, and if there was no precedent, it would be discussed by the imperial court. In this case, codification is extremely important, and once the system is established, political norms are formed.

Xu Ping himself tried while doing the new deal, and after he succeeded, he established the system before it came to an end.

Last year, in a leap year, this year's spring came exceptionally early, and the sun shone warmly on the body before the first month. Xu Ping walked out of the imperial office, stretched his waist, raised his head and squinted and sneezed, feeling extremely comfortable.

With Xu Ping here, the archives of the three divisions of the yamen are better than those of the other yamen, and it is not troublesome to sort out the edicts. Moreover, Xu Ping and his subordinate officials often discussed on a daily basis, and a common understanding had been formed within the three divisions, and there was no controversy about the interpretation of the imperial edict, and the entire compilation work was carried out in an orderly manner and quite smoothly. At that time, Lu Yi compiled the "Regulations of the Chinese Book", and after completing it, he proudly said that with this book, even a mediocre person can be the prime minister. Xu Ping hopes that the compilation of the three divisions will be completed this time, and he can also say to people that with these decrees, even if a nerd comes to be the envoy of the three divisions, he can still make the world use it.

Slowly walked back to his chief's hall, sat down behind the case, and let the official serve tea, Xu Ping took a big sip comfortably, and picked up the morning newspaper on the case to watch. After a few glances, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at it in a daze for a while, and a sip of tea squirted out. This sudden frightened the public officials on the side, and hurriedly pleaded guilty and came up to clean up.

Putting the tea down, Xu Ping pointed to the newspaper and asked, "When was this delivered?" Why didn't you show me earlier? ”

The official said, "Provincial Lord, when you arrived at the Imperial Decree Office, the Imperial Court had just sent the imperial report. Because he was not instructed, the small one was not given to the provincial lord in a hurry, it was a small mistake, and I will remember it later. ”

Xu Ping waved his hand: "That's it, since it was just delivered, it's not your fault." ”

After speaking, Xu Ping took the newspaper in his hand, stood up, and walked around the official hall. After thinking about it, after a long time, Xu Ping sighed: "I think I'm a third envoy in charge of the affairs of the Privy Council, and I have a lot of things to worry about, if there are no such messy things that people can't watch, who is willing to care?" Alas, it is still necessary to manage it once. ”

After speaking, after returning to the case, he picked up the pen and wrote the chapter. When he was about to hand it over to the official to send, he took it back again, thought about it and said, "Forget it, I'll go to Ouchi for a trip, I'm just afraid that it will be bad if I don't play this time." ”

After dealing with some urgent business, and seeing that it was past noon, Xu Ping left the Sansi Yamen, followed the imperial city, and arrived outside the vertical arch of the Great Interior. After going through the formalities according to the usual procedures, I realized that Zhao Zhen was listening to Jia Changchao's lectures, so I had to wait.

Jia Changchao, like many scholars in this era, is not a true scholar. During the Tianxi period, Zhenzong went out of the city to pray for the valley, and he offered a eulogy beside the road, because it was well written, and it was in line with the heart of Zhenzong, and he was given the same Jinshi after calling the academy. Jia Changchao was well educated and good at explaining, and later served as the Guozijian storyteller, which was appreciated by Sun Zheng. When Sun Zheng was a scholar, he recommended Jia Changchao to replace him, and from the first year of Jing You, he served as a storyteller in Chongzheng Palace, and specially explained the classics of history to Zhao Zhen.

Just by accompanying the emperor to study, Jia Changchao has always been a straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and he is a servant, and no number of dead and alive officials can compare to him. Learning and excellence, Jia Changchao is the one who truly interprets this sentence.

After waiting for half an hour, the door informed Xu Ping and asked him to enter the hall.

Only when Zai Zhi wants to see the emperor doesn't have to schedule shifts here in the gate, Xu Ping is still far behind. Normally, with his official position, he asks to see him today, and it is good to be able to enter the palace tomorrow. Zhao Zhen asked him to go in now, because he crossed a lot of people in front of the line.

When he arrived at the Chongzheng Palace, he saluted like a ceremony, and Zhao Zhen ordered to give a seat.

Seeing that Jia Changchao was still sitting in the hall, Xu Ping hesitated, but still stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister read the court newspaper today, saying that the chief of the Northwest Party Xiang Shan Yu Weiliang was dissatisfied with Yuan Hao's perverse behavior, and the clan came to vote. The generals along the border had no knowledge and refused to accept Weiliang and others, for fear of causing dissatisfaction with the party, and the court had agreed to their invitation, I don't know if it was or not? ”
