When the term of office expires, the people will retain it, and he must be a good official. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoA good official can serve three terms in the same office, just taking the kind of county magistrate as an example, it is equivalent to saying that he can be a parent official in a certain county for nine years.

If you change to the prefect, if you do a good job and are a good official, you can get the support of the local people, and you can do it for a maximum of 12 years. If the governor does well in a certain province or above, even if he does not enter the center, he may be promoted to the rank and work in a province for fifteen years.

Liu Xing's new official policy of combining evaluation and tenure is the true definition of this, and it is also what Yang Shi and Zhu Zhen did not let Ma Kuo say, and they did not know.

As soon as he heard Liu Xing say the true definition, Yang Shi looked at Zhu Zhen slightly, and Zhu Zhen also looked at him slightly.

After looking at each other, the two of them said in unison: "Since there are rules for re-election, the subordinates have nothing to say." ”

In the midst of the noise, the two of them retreated together and quickly retreated to the court.

The two of them retreated, but Liu Xing saw a long-expected look on the faces of the two of them and many courtiers, that is, these courtiers were indeed a little unconvinced by Ma Kuo's appointment as deputy prime minister.

The reason for that disbelief may be because Ma Kuo is too young like himself, or it may be because he has only seen Ma Kuo's good ideas and not seen his true skills. It is more likely that there is actually selfishness and arrogance in the hearts of the people, so that these people are not willing to be subordinated to Ma Kuo, and they also want to be the deputy prime minister.

However, no matter what kind of thoughts they have, Liu Xing will never allow Ma Kuo's mentality to continue to exist.

So when Zhu Zhen and Yang Shi returned to the court, Liu Xing said loudly again: "News came from the bank of the Surabaya River yesterday, saying that the underwater Pixiu has continuously swallowed tens of millions of catties of food, and now it is difficult to move with a full stomach. I have decided to go to Surabaya again in seven days to find Jiuding, and then go to fight the Great Pixiu. ”

After a slight pause at this point, Liu Xing stood up and walked to Ma Kuo's side.

Holding one of his hands, Liu Xing glanced at the ministers of the hall with cold eyes, and continued to say in a loud voice: "When I go to Surabaya, all affairs in the DPRK and China will be handed over to Vice Prime Minister Ma and will be at his discretion. Whether it is the court or the locality, if there is a disobedience when Ma Xiang is presiding over the government, if there is a person who disobeys the government and resigns, if there is a person who violates the law and neglects his duties, he will be severely punished according to the law and will not be tolerated. ”

Liu Xing wanted to go to the shore of Surabaya to find Jiuding, and when the news came from Surabaya yesterday, in fact, many ministers in the court knew the situation there, and naturally guessed that there would be such a thing.

However, even in the past, when Zong Ze was an assistant to the government, Liu Xing's going out and government affairs had to be decided by asking Liu Xing. This time, Liu Xing actually said the words "All affairs in the DPRK and China are in charge of Vice Prime Minister Ma, and he is arbitrary", which suddenly made the noise above the hall again.

In the noisy and soft argument of the ministers, Zhou Tao walked out of the court again, bowed and asked loudly: "Dare to ask the Taifu that you have granted the deputy prime minister the right to arbitrarily and the matter in charge of the matter, can there be a covenant?" ”

Hearing his question, Liu Xing lowered his eyes and looked at him, and said solemnly: "Except for military affairs such as the royal army, all government affairs of the DPRK and China are handed over to the deputy prime minister arbitrarily. From now on, the same will be true, in all government affairs, if I am in Ma Vice-Minister, I will be supplemented, and if I am no more, Horse Vice-Minister will be the Lord. In the future, you can also regard Vice Minister Ma as my Deputy Minister of Political Affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, and those who dare to make a mistake and disobey his orders will be severely punished and will not be forgiven. ”

"Then dare to ask Taifu, if you go out on patrol, the military affairs of the DPRK and China will not be handed over to Deputy Minister Ma to be arbitrary and in charge, but the new military affairs department Wu Shangshu will be in charge?" After Zhou Tao got the answer, he immediately asked again.

"Yes and no." Still staring at Zhou Tao tightly, Liu Xing had actually guessed the reason why he stood up and asked this when he spoke again.

Ma Kuo was born in Wuju, and he has led troops to fight since Wutai Mountain, and his military achievements are not weaker than the five governors.

However, the turbulent times of the Tang Dynasty began when the generals entered the court as the prime minister, and began when the envoys of the feudal towns entered the court to take over the power of the heavens.

At that time, those who were in charge of the country were mostly ****. In the end, most of them either looked for opportunities to rebel, or supported troops to go out of the dynasty to stand on their own and divide one side, which made the glorious Tang Dynasty go to the point of no return for the division of the domain and the final defeat.

Therefore, after Zhao Kuangyin usurped the country of the Chai family, he read history and learned the lessons of the defeat of the Tang Dynasty. That Emperor Taizu once set an iron law, even the founding minister like Zhao Pu is not allowed to obtain military power when he is a prime minister.

Although Liu Xing's new law seems to be in many places specifically aimed at playing against the so-called ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty established by Taizu and Taizong, there are strict provisions on military power, even in the new law.

That provision was that the Chinese ministers of the dynasty, except Liu Xing, who wanted to seize military power, needed to be discussed by the privy council first, reconsidered by the heavenly council, and finally deliberated by the council before they could be specially approved.

It is very difficult to get special punctuality, but as long as Liu Xing says a word, the "special permission for three discussions" is invalid at any time, and Liu Xing can take back the "special permission for three discussions" and the military power held by Wenchen at any time.

In fact, to put it bluntly, a discerning person will understand one thing when he looks at that rule, in fact, the power that originally belonged to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was given to him to be in charge of the army, and the power to determine who was in charge of the army was transferred from the hands of the emperor to the hands of the prime minister. In fact, it is equivalent to further clarifying that Liu Xing is the one who dominates, although he does not usurp the country, he has already seized the imperial power through the law......

Zhou Tao chose to stand up at such a time, and raised the question of the arbitrary scope of Ma Kuo's authority when Liu Xing traveled far away, and Liu Xing certainly knew that the central point of his question was actually to give Ma Kuo the right to control military power.

Knowing what he was thinking, Liu Xing paused slightly, and then said loudly: "Vice Minister Ma temporarily took over the command of the Royal Army Headquarters before Wu Jue went to Beijing and entered the court. When Wu Jue came to the court, he was promoted to deputy prime minister, and he would be in charge of the headquarters of the royal army. The Vice Minister of Political Affairs is Ma Kuo, and the Vice Minister of Military Affairs is Wu Jue, and this is the last thing that I want to announce to you today. ”

"Coax ......"

As soon as Liu Xing's words came out, there was another commotion in the hall.

In the midst of the noise of the ministers, it was Yang Shi who stepped forward, bowed, and looked at Liu Xing on the high rank and said loudly: "Although Taifu and Wu Jue have made outstanding achievements, their talents as the governor of the feudal territory have been limited. If everything in my Great Song Army is handed over to him, I am afraid that many officers and soldiers in the army will not be convinced, and I am afraid that it will cause unrest and change in the army. ”

"Yes, Wu Jue is not enough to be the deputy minister, and he is already a small talent and a big use for the military affairs book. I also asked Taifu to think twice and choose someone else as the deputy minister of military affairs. After Yang Shi's voice fell, Zhou Tao immediately echoed loudly.

After Zhou Tao finished speaking, Zhu Zhen also walked out again, echoing and said loudly: "Although Wu Jue has outstanding military achievements, many of his people have small flaws of greed, and they have long been criticized by the government and the opposition. The subordinates implored Taifu to think twice and choose someone else as the deputy minister of military affairs. (To be continued.) )
