The next day, it was the official of the Great Song Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty followed the system of the Tang Dynasty because of the Tang Dynasty, and the Zheng Ya said that the ministers and hundreds of officials were there, which was called a constant reference. After the Tang Dynasty, Mingzong began to edict the ministers to enter the prime minister every five days, which was called the living, and the Song Dynasty was because of its system. In the early days of the Great Song Dynasty, the official Ya Chang Shen was also said once every five days.

The civil and military officials went to the Wende Hall to go to the court, which was the regular staff of the Song Dynasty, and was escorted by a prime minister. And generally it is the fifteenth day of the first month, and it will be in the Wende Palace.

And if every five days of the living court, it is in the Chongde Hall or the Vertical Arch Hall, with the Zhongshu, the officials of the two provinces under the door as the head of the class, that is, standing in front. Secondly, the civil and military officials stand according to their ranks. There is a guard of honor in the temple,

The official system and the court discussion system of the Great Song Dynasty were reformed during the Yuanfeng period of Shenzong, which was the famous Yuanfeng reform. But now, most of the living quarters are the vertical arch hall or the Chongde hall.

The officials who participated in the court meeting had to wait outside the palace before three minutes of dawn. Therefore, the officials who live in the capital have to get up on the fourth watch, when the sky is not yet dawn, otherwise they will be late, and being late is a sin of dereliction, which can be big or small, depending on the emperor's mood. The heavier punishment is dismissal and demotion. The punishment is light, and it is a few words of heavy reproach, that is, the emperor reproaches a few words.

Shen Lun may be because he is old and feels less. Maybe it's because there is an important task and I don't dare to delay. Today's court meeting, Shen Lun came very early, and he was still silently brewing the look of the court meeting in his heart.

Since the court meeting was made up of officials from the two provinces under the Zhongshu Gate, everyone followed the prime minister to participate in the court meeting, and of course the prime ministers stood at the head of the class. And the prime ministers all have the positions of the same Zhongshu men, so they can be regarded as the supervisors of the two provinces under the Zhongshu men.

The first is Zhao Pu, who has just been promoted to prime minister, Zhao Pu is currently the same as the Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, a scholar of Zhaowenguan, and the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty. Because Zhao Pu was an old minister in the previous dynasty, he was already the prime minister back then, but he was demoted by Taizu. Now relying on the merits of the Golden Alliance, and then he is the prime minister again.

Zhao Pu also knew in his heart that his status today was given by the official family, so Zhao Pu, who was good at figuring out people's hearts, did not dare to disobey the will of the official family at all.

And the second prime minister is Shen Lun, like Zhao Pu, Shen Lun ascended to the throne three months earlier than him, three months ago, Prime Minister Xue Juzheng died, and Shen Lun was promoted to prime minister.

In addition, there is also the second prime minister Lu Duoxun, the Chinese book squire, and the Ping Zhangshi. This Pingzhang matter is a level smaller than the Pingzhangshi under the Tongzhongshu Sect, but there is a position of Zhongshu Shilang, plus he is also the secretary of the military department. As a result, what was originally a position of deputy prime minister has become a veritable secondary minister.

The rest of the officials stood in shifts, and they had already been led by the eunuchs, but they saw the emperor turn out of the inner hall, and all the ministers bowed down together, and the mountain shouted long live.

After the ceremony, Zhao Guangyi said: "Ladies and gentlemen, if there is anything that needs to be discussed, please come quickly!" ”

So, those prepared courtiers, what Yushitai, the Imperial Court and other officials, one after another, all of them were trivial matters, Zhao Guangyi according to the situation, some of them were approved, and some of them were discussed.

After spending about half an hour like this, Zhao Guangyi was a little anxious when he saw that Shen Lun had not moved. At this time, I saw the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Humeng coming out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the flood relief in Hezhong Mansion has been completed, and now is the time to requisition the people and rebuild the water conservancy!" I implore the emperor to make an early decree to build the river and ask for a stable life for the people of Hezhong Prefecture! ”

When Zhao Guangyi heard this, he asked: "In this case, you can let the household department allocate money and food, and the water department can be responsible for this matter!" ”

The Ministry of Water is a department specializing in water conservancy, which belongs to a department under the Ministry of Industry, but it is a relatively readable department. The level does not reach the level of the six departments, but it is much more important than the other subordinate departments. And the official in charge is the water superintendent.

At this moment, the six ministries are still under the jurisdiction of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province and the Sansi Yamen, and most of the officials such as Shangshu and Shilang are used as additional titles. Among them, there are also privy envoys, and they are generally given the title of Shangshu, because they are originally prime ministers.

And the governor of the political affairs, the peace of the chapter, the privy deputy envoy, this category, is the deputy minister, generally plus the waiter. However, there are exceptions, some have not yet become prime ministers, so they have added the title of squire of the six ministries, and these people are generally people with outstanding qualifications and prestige, that is, candidates for the next batch of prime ministers.

The Privy Counsellor and the Privy Counsellor are the presiding officers of the Privy Council and are in charge of the military. The Privy Council and the merged province of Zhongshu were called the two provinces. But now Zhao Guangyi is a civilian official, and he can be regarded as an official at the level of prime minister, but because he is in charge of the military and does not care about government affairs, he seems to have less power.

And Hu Meng because of his meritorious work in revising the "Taizu Record", he was promoted to the Ministry of Industry and became the quasi-minister, and then he revised the "Taizu Record" together, as well as Shen Lun and Li Fang. And Li Fang was originally qualified to be the prime minister, but because he was originally a minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, among the three, only Shen Lun was successfully promoted to prime minister.

Therefore, Zhao Guangyi still attaches great importance to Hu Meng's proposal, and now it is an issue that he is concerned about. And these prime ministers are equivalent to the deputy county magistrates of later generations, in charge of various departments. Zhao Pu hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now that the grain tax has not been fully collected into Beijing, I am afraid that it will not be enough to rebuild the Yellow River River in Hezhong Mansion!" ”

Zhao Pu is also quite helpless now, the relationship he worked hard to manage before, because of the reason for a long time to dismiss the prime minister, has already been squeezed out of the middle, and now in the court, many officials in important positions are people from Zhao Tingmei, the king of Wei. He is the most powerful.

When encountering this critical moment, only one can come out. However, a person's voice, after all, is limited. Although Zhao Pu is now the prime minister, his prestige is not as good as before.

At this time, a person stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now is the season of winter, it is the agricultural slack period, just right to recruit the people, according to Weichen, you can prepare some materials first, about a month later, the grain tax of the Cao Yun Yamen will arrive in Beijing, and you can start building!" ”

Zhao Guangyi saw that this person was Song Qi, Song Qi was in charge of the three divisions, but he was the judge in charge of the Goudu Court of the three divisions. Speaking of Song Qi, after Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, he was ready to add an official position, but when Zhao Guangyi was the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, he was squeezed out by two people who respected and trusted him very much, one was called Cheng Yu and the other was Jia Yan.

Cheng Yu is good at poetry and songs, but he is not proficient in political affairs, but when he meets Zhao Guangyi, who is a scholar, he respects him very much. In addition, he is cautious and has a generous surname, so after Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, he let him go to the prefect of Kaifeng, and then returned to his hometown of Sichuan and became the prefect of Chengdu.

Because his surname is affectionate, he is a good man, so when he was a prefect, he had a good relationship with his superiors and subordinates and colleagues, and this is a figure that the emperor attaches importance to, and everyone is willing to praise him.

After returning to Beijing, he successively became a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, a bachelor of the Duanming Palace, and later a bachelor of the Civilization Palace, and became the head of the Hanlin Bachelors. But because of his qualifications, he is still one step away from the deputy minister.

And Jia Yan is relatively capable, compared with Cheng Yu, although his talent is a little worse, but his ability to govern is strong, Zhao Guangyi knows that the country is his own, and the official position is someone else's. Therefore, respect for Cheng Yu is respect, but it is not like entrusting Jia Yan with such a heavy responsibility.

After Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, he first worshiped the doctor of Zuo Zhengyi and the privy councilor. It didn't take long for him to be promoted to the deputy envoy of the third division and become a well-known member of the imperial court, as long as he boiled up his qualifications and lived for the next two or three years, he would at least be able to participate in political affairs and be in the position of vice minister. Who knows, this Jia Yan died without the prime minister's life, and within a year.

And it was the two of them who said a lot of bad things in front of the official family, so Song Qi got the position of the third division of the Gou Courtyard. It just so happened that the three divisions and yamen were in charge of grain taxation, salt and iron, degree support, household departments, etc., and their rights were still relatively important. It can be seen that Zhao Guangyi still misses the old love.

Zhao Pu was about to refute, but saw Lu Duosun and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!" ”

Zhao Guangyi was stunned again, Zhao Pu, who has always been aware of current affairs, did not have the first objection today, but Lu Duoxun, who should be opposed, was slow to react.
