Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are indispensable battles.

Unlike modern fights between political parties in various countries, they still have to set up a banner to win over some people to support themselves. The purpose of the party struggle in ancient China was much simpler, that is, in order to get themselves in power, and all those who dared to obstruct their progress should be criticized. In this way, those who want to do something practical for the country and the people are forced to join the game. If you don't come in, you can't get into the position, and if you can't get in the position, you can't do anything, and even if you get in the position, you have to always beware of others to make trouble, this is a whirlpool that can't be withdrawn.

Even if the world knows that what you are doing is right, the first thing people do after they squeeze you down is to denigrate your merits and nullify your claims. Therefore, our country has been capricious between this change and the change again for generations, and the people are at a loss, and all the resources and time are consumed in internal friction.

The Song Dynasty not only could not avoid vulgarity, but also carried forward this style. Especially during the reign of several emperors after Song Renzong, basically reformers and conservatives were playing chess with the luck of the nation.

However, a country cannot do without party strife, and of course this cannot be eliminated. If only one voice exists in a country, it may be able to present a miracle of rapid development in a short period of time. But this cannot become the norm, and without a force of supervision, absolute power will lead to absolute **, which is beyond doubt.

Zhao Zhen has been thinking hard about what kind of country he should build the Great Song Dynasty into, and looking at the history of China and the situation of later countries, he has not found a single example that can be fully used for reference.

At this time, the vast majority of the people did not know what was going on, and the Shidafu group held the right to speak from top to bottom, and it was estimated that there was no drama in what kind of democratic elections they wanted to do. Even if there is a multi-party government, there may be nothing to do with the people. In a word, the majority of the people are too ignorant, and it is all up to the scholars and doctors, but they should be the main body of the country, not those minority scholars, as future generations, Zhao Zhen is convinced of this.

Not long after Ding Wei was demoted, there was another major event in Tokyo that shocked the government and the opposition. Zhao Zhen abolished many mediocre and incompetent people in one go, and then promoted a large number of officials like a trick, and most of the cabinet ministers were replaced, and they were all relatively young officials. This set of combination punches beat those guys who sat and watched the wind and water rise, so that they couldn't find the north. Many self-righteous old guys thought that they would be favored by Zhao Zhen, but the birds didn't bird them, which made them extremely angry, but they were just angry and angry, and they didn't have the courage to go to Zhao Zhen's stubble.

The reason why Zhao Zhen made such a big move was that he felt that he had limited time in his life and could no longer give them foreign workers. Second, after the establishment of the Guoan Temple, according to his instructions, the secret saucers dug up many corpses and corrupt officials, and there were many officials at all levels from top to bottom. The reality of the situation was much more serious than he imagined, so he had to sacrifice a thunderous force to strike.

All of a sudden, the depressed talents hiding in all corners, under the guidance of Zhao Zhen's memory, were pulled out one by one through the hands of the secret saucers, and continued to squander their blood for the Great Song Dynasty.

This is a strange era, an era in which everything can be decided with one word, but for Zhao Zhen, this is the best. This year, Zhao Zhen just patted his head and moved his mouth, and the pattern of the Great Song Dynasty court underwent earth-shaking changes.

In the fourth year of Tiansheng, the important ministers of the previous dynasty died one after another, and Zhao Zhen held great power and began to preside over the reform of the imperial court institutions.

In the Song Dynasty, the phenomenon of court officials was serious, and the institutions at all levels were overlapping and bloated, and the work efficiency was low. Zhao Zhen issued an order to set up the Imperial History ** and set up the Supervision Yuan, which belongs to the Supervision Department and the Integrity Department, and is in charge of the power of impeachment in audit investigation. The Dali Temple was renamed the Supreme Court of the Great Song Dynasty, which was fully responsible for the review of all cases. The "three departments" were merged into the Ministry of War, and the "three departments" were merged into the household department, and together with the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Officials, the new six departments of the State Council were formed.

After the institutional reform, the Privy Council, the State Council, the Supervisory Yuan, and the General Court of Judgment will be formed as the core of the ruling body, with the six ministries of the State Council as the main body. The official position of each president is the president, and they all pay homage to the governor, form a cabinet to manage state affairs, and are responsible to the emperor. The emperor appointed one of the six Shangshu of the State Council as the president of the State Council and held the post of prime minister, as the supreme head of the administrative body. At the same time, the emperor may also add a number of non-substantive governors to participate in the formation of the cabinet. When the nine-tier officials of the cabinet oppose the emperor's will, they can return the holy decree.

As an emperor, he naturally has the highest ruling power, and his status is lofty and inviolable. Cabinet decisions on day-to-day affairs must be approved by more than half of the Cabinet ministers. After this adjustment, the Privy Council is responsible for the dispatch and operation of the army, and its subordinates are the General Staff Division, the Logistics Division, the Intelligence Division, and the Military Judge Advocate General's Department. The Ministry of War does not have the right to transfer troops, but is only responsible for the training of troops and the dispatch of generals to lead troops.

All financial affairs are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and the former chief of the "three divisions" is appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Households, but all revenues and expenditures must be reviewed by the Supervisory Yuan. The original responsibilities of the Ministry of Industry and Rites remained unchanged, and the Ministry of Rites increased the management of educational affairs. The Criminal Department is in charge of public order maintenance, investigation and arrest, of which arrests require a written document issued by an official of the Supervision Yuan at the corresponding level before they can be executed. The Ministry of Officials is in charge of official file management, performance appraisal (with the participation of the Supervision Yuan), etc.

In general, after this reform, the six ministries have been improved in terms of rights to a certain extent, and all financial rights and part of the military rights have been recovered. At the same time, it also handed over the judicial power, only retained a little law enforcement power, and accepted all-round supervision, which means that the power cannot be used indiscriminately, which is very different from the previous state of inaction.

At the same time, there have been changes in the corresponding official positions and powers at the local level. The entire administrative system of the Song Dynasty was divided into four levels, namely roads, prefectures (prefectures), counties, and towns. The first three levels are appointed by the imperial court, and the town is composed of a joint meeting system of village chiefs elected by each villager, and the imperial court appoints the recommended village chief as the town chief. The Yamen was responsible for administration, the pacification was responsible for military affairs, the Supervision was responsible for supervision, and the General Judgment was responsible for the trial of cases. The prefect (prefecture) and county are respectively the prefect (prefecture) and the prefect, the corresponding supervision department is the prefect (prefecture) supervisor and the county supervisor, the corresponding general judgment department is the prefect (prefecture) judge and the county judge, and the corresponding military chief is the defense envoy and the county lieutenant.

The restructuring lasted about three months, and was known as the "Tiansheng Restructuring" in history.

The first batch of officials after the "Tiansheng reform", especially the high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China, aroused the strong attention of the general public, and they all speculated about which great god could obtain Zhao Zhen's approval and be able to take charge of the center. The phenomenon of buying and selling in the Song Dynasty was very active, and the government did not manage it much, and many places even opened a market with it.

But the result is destined to disappoint those who want to get rich. Zhao Zhen thought about it and finally chose Yan Shu as the prime minister, worshiped the scholar of Tianzhangge, and served as the secretary of the criminal department. Chen Zhizhong, the governor of the government, the scholar of the Wen Pavilion, served as the secretary of the ministry. Yang Zongbao, who visited the governor, served as the secretary of the military department. Fan Zhongyan, the governor of the court, a bachelor of Baowen Pavilion, served as the secretary of the household department. Sun Fu, the governor of the court, the bachelor of the Guanwen Palace, served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Zhang Zhibai, the governor of the government, a bachelor of the Xianmo Pavilion, served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Bao Zheng, who was famous in later generations, was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with his fair and selfless image, and Zhao Zhen inevitably included him in his sight. In the bureaucratic system he constructed, the General Court tailor-made it for him. There is no doubt that Bao Zheng also visited the governor and was responsible for the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty Judgment Yuan system.

As an extremely important supervision department after the restructuring, this is a guarantee that he will be lazy in the future, and the selection of the person in charge also makes Zhao Zhen struggle with his brains. Zhao Zhen took the files of the court officials and rummaged through them, and finally found one named Lu Zongdao. Lu Zongdao is not only old but also has a very straight temper, when Song Zhenzong was still in power, he arrested and criticized whom, which is what Zhao Zhen needs most, and he will also be pulled out to visit the governor and take care of the Supervision Yuan.

The Privy Council, which is the supreme command of the army, is much simpler, and the changes are the least, and Zhao Zhen solved it by casually flipping out two of them from the Great Song Dynasty talent pool. The Northern Song Dynasty was dominated by literati who controlled the army, and most of them did not understand military affairs at all, and all this privy envoy was only used by the emperor to limit military power. So two lucky people, Chen Yaozuo and Zhang Dexiang, served as the secret envoy and deputy envoy respectively, and at the same time visited the governor.

It can be seen from this that those who can participate in the formation of the cabinet must be awarded the title of governor of the government, and the entire cabinet is almost at the top of the pyramid, and there is a special one among them, his name is Lu Yijian. To say that he is special is not to say how awesome he is, of course, he is indeed awesome, and it is not easy to be selected by those people. This is because he is the only one who participated in the capacity of Kaifeng Fuyi, which is equivalent to the current mayor of Beijing.

As soon as the restructuring decree came out, it unsurprisingly caused a national sensation. You little kid is tossing around there, completely ignoring the existence of our scholars, and saying that you want to rule the world together?

The world is turbulent, and it seems that a thunderstorm is brewing......

And what is Zhao Zhen doing as the eye of the storm? To be precise, he was complacent, excitedly preaching his political ideas to the newly appointed cabinet members, and telling everyone about his improved version of the political system that combined the later British "constitutional monarchy" and Sun Yat-sen's "separation of powers". There is no suspense, this theory from more than a thousand years later made the elites of the Song Dynasty, who were groping for a balancing strategy, see a new direction, and unanimously stated that they would strictly implement Zhao Zhen's strategy and build what he called the perfect empire.

Zhao Zhen finished his speech, flipped through the secret plates sent from all over the place, and smiled disdainfully when he saw those jumping clowns.

Although the Northern Song Dynasty's strategy of emphasizing literature over military force had many flaws, it also left a cowardly image for future generations, but Zhao Zhen loved the decision of his ancestors to death at this moment. In other dynasties, if the emperor tosses around, the first thing to consider is whether there will be a rebellion. And in the Song Dynasty, this is the least need to be considered, the generals are all overwhelmed by the civilian officials, who has the heart to rebel.

Some people may say that the civil officials will rebel, and Zhao Zhen will give him two hehe......
