At the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there was no position of governor of political affairs. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was self-reliant on behalf of Zhou, and the three phases were set up together, but there was no deputy prime minister. Later, due to the complicated affairs, he began to set up a governor to assist the prime minister.

In the second year of Song Qiande (964), the governor was appointed as the deputy minister. In the sixth year of Kaibao (973), the governor and the prime minister had to discuss political affairs in the political hall, and the power and courtesy were roughly equal to the prime minister. In the event of a vacancy in the prime minister, he shall act as the prime minister.

In the third year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1129), he took his subordinates and the second servant of Zhongshu as the governor of the political affairs. In the eighth year of the dry road (1172), the left and right servants were changed to the left and right prime ministers, and their participation in the governor's affairs was the same, and the posts were often two or one person, and the three years of Jiatai (1203) were set to be three.

Zhao Hong ascended the throne, and after the rewards of his relatives and friends for his meritorious service, he was naturally the ruling minister, which was also the foundation of the stability of the court.

Shi Miyuan's position as prime minister was replaced by Xue Ji, the original governor of the government. And a new position of participating in the governor's political affairs was left to Zhen Dexiu, the head of the household.

Prime Minister Xue Ji, Privy Envoy Xuanxuan, a special case of Prime Minister and Privy Envoy in the Shi Miyuan era, was finally abolished in the Zhao Hong Dynasty.

A prime minister Xue Ji, a privy envoy Xuan Xuan, plus two governors Hu Yu and Zhen Dexiu, this is the central team of Zhao Hongchao.

Zhen Dexiu is the emperor's teacher, and he is also the secretary of the household department, with a high position and power, and it is natural to occupy a position of participating in political affairs.

Xuanxuan has a straightforward temperament, and although he is Shi Miyuan's son and daughter, it seems that he can be reused. Since he is the secretary of the military department, he is no longer suitable to serve as a privy envoy.

Xue Ji and Hu Yu both belong to the "wooden" generation of Shi Miyuan's "marionettes", and they are both smart people with long sleeves and good at dancing. Compared with Zhen Dexiu and Hu Yu, Xue Ji is old-fashioned, more familiar with court politics, and easy to control, and it seems more appropriate to be listed as the prime minister.

These four people are the ruling ministers, and they are also the products of Zhao Hong's repeated trade-offs.

As for Zhongcheng in the imperial history, Liang Chengda's-stirring stick was naturally deposed, and Chen Duanchang, another Qingliu in the court, served as it. On the day of the establishment of the crown prince and the palace change, this gentleman performed well, and openly quarreled with Shi Miyuan, which impressed Zhao Hong.

The Great Song Dynasty appointed the rulers, and most of them were selected from the three envoys, the Hanlin Bachelor, the Zhikaifeng Mansion, and the Imperial History. The four of Xue Ji are all well-educated people with enough qualifications to be the ruler

To strengthen the power of the monarchy, the prime minister must not be strong. The scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty were too powerful and had to be ruthlessly suppressed to avoid the weakening of the monarchy.

Zhao Hong also thought to himself. Xue Ji entered the prime minister, and Chen Duan was always the middle of the imperial history, but it was not his own words, but a jade seal. None of the Manchu officials dared to oppose it.

The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. His father, Emperor Zhao Kuo, was too cowardly, and was played with by Shi Miyuan and Yang Guizhi, which made people only mourn his misfortune and be angry.

Most importantly, he wants this system of governance to be easy to grasp and reform according to his will.

Coming from hundreds of years later, no one knows better than him the ills of this era.

A few gifts were placed on the desk, and Zhao Hong looked at them carefully, his eyes attracted by the two crystal walls on the table.

According to the practice of the imperial family of the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor's relics will also be distributed to the ministers to show the emperor's grace.

The crystal walls are as large as small bowls, crystal clear, and the transparent glass of later generations is no different.

"Dong Songchen, are there many such objects in the palace?"

Zhao Hong really didn't understand in his heart. When the emperor died, he had to give the emperor's relics to the ministers, what kind of truth is this?

When the new emperor ascended the throne, it stands to reason that the scholars and doctors had to give him gifts, because he was their boss. Where is the reason for the boss to pay the employees and befriend the employees?

According to folk customs, when someone dies in the family, relatives and friends who come to mourn have to give gifts.

What's more, these relatives and friends are also their own subordinates.

What are the kings of the Great Song Dynasty worried about? Is the dragon chair under the ass unstable?

When he arrived at Zhao Hong, in addition to a few ruling ministers, there were also a few confidants and important ministers who each rewarded a little bit to express their meaning, and ignored everything else.

It's not that he's stingy, it's just that he thinks it's weird and can't understand it.

Wouldn't it be more useful if these things were exchanged for gold, silver, and grain, and given to the border army and the poor people?

"Your Majesty, I am prolific in Jiangxi, and it has been polished into crystal walls or crystal ornaments, and there are many such objects in the palace, and there are many unpolished objects in the prison. If you have to use it, send someone to get it."

Dong Songchen is clear about crystal.

"Excellent! Then you sent someone to be the overseer, fetched the crystal, and called two craftsmen who knew how to polish, and I would use it for another purpose. ”

These natural crystals are excellent for making telescopes. The structure of the telescope is too simple, and two convex lenses, or one convex lens and one concave lens, can form a telescope.

In this era, let's call it a clairvoyant.

In later generations, telescopes were all over the streets, but in this era, this simple monocular clairvoyant was very helpful for the observation of the battlefield.

Returned to the chair and sat down, picked up the fold on the table and flipped through it, and turned to two copies, Zhao Hong's brows couldn't help frowning.

Several ministers of political affairs jointly signed a petition to seal the parents of his heir, Princess Yu, the princess of Yi, Yu's father, Yu Zhi, as the observer of Tanzhou, and Yu's mother Liu as Mrs. Huiguo.

And his mother-in-law, Zhou Gao, will be named Mrs. Yanguo.

The sedan chair is carried by everyone, is this to seal the world and enjoy it?

Without any merit, a group of harmony, one person attains the Tao, and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, how does this make the people of the world view him as the new emperor?

Everywhere is graceful, when will the disadvantages of the "redundant officials" of the Great Song Dynasty be solved?

Even if the court wants to use people, people who have to do things, those gentlemen, wine bags and rice bags, what use do they want, do they block him?

"See Your Majesty!"

Prime Minister Xue Ji, Privy Envoy Xuan Xuan, the two ruling Hu Yu and Zhen Dexiu, and the four ministers of political affairs entered the imperial study and saluted Zhao Hong together.

Xue Ji is the prime minister, Xuan Xuan is the privy envoy, and the rule of the prime minister and privy envoy in the Shi Miyuan era is gone forever.

Xue Ji's gaze secretly swept to Zhao Hong's waist, and the "Song Wang Sword" was impressive.

"A few Qing family, sit down."

Zhao Hong nodded lightly and pointed to a few chairs in front of the table.

"Don't dare!"

The four ruling ministers saluted together, and no one dared to sit down.

Even if it is the emperor Zhendexiu, he bows solemnly, respectfully, and pokes there.

Before Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor and the scholar sat and discussed. The Zhao Kuangyin Dynasty and the subsequent Great Song Dynasty all stood on the ground.

In front of the emperor, there is no reason to sit.

"Sitting and talking about the Tao, it is called a prince; Do and do, called a scholar; Judging the surface potential, in order to distinguish the five materials, in order to distinguish the people's weapons, it is called a hundred work. Zhu Qing is in charge of national affairs, and he is better than the prince. You don't have to be honest, just sit down. ”

Zhao Hong waved his hand, his face was gentle, but there was no doubt.

"Xue Xiang, next time in the court, all princes, governors, and ministers who are old and infirm can be seated and in the forefront. This is a common practice and can be listed as a daily ritual of the pilgrimage. This is also humanization, so that the ministers are healthy and can do things for the country. I have made up my mind, and there is no need to discuss this matter again. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xue Ji and the four of them fell to the ground, and they were sincerely frightened, and sat down on the chairs.

Sitting and talking about it is not only physical comfort, but also psychological satisfaction.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin took the chair under the prime minister's buttocks, and instead stood and talked, so that the scholars and doctors were disappointed, and their servility soared. Unexpectedly, his tenth grandson, Zhao Hong, changed this back.

Speaking of which, except for Zhen Dexiu, who is still "young", the rest of the people are "old men" in their fifties and sixties, sitting and talking, their waists and legs are much better.

"The first emperor Yan drives, the funeral, the removal of Shi Miyuan's party, all kinds of political affairs, your family has worked hard."

Zhao Hong smiled slightly, and the eunuch brought tea, steaming, a cup for everyone.

"Your Majesty, the matter within the minister's share should be like this!"

Xue Ji replied respectfully on behalf of the four people.

This new emperor, although simple and rude, is also frank and kind, and does not seem to be a violent man with rough lines.

"Your Majesty first ascended to the Great Treasure, the ministers have a congratulatory watch, I wish Your Majesty the rule of culture and martial arts, my Great Song Dynasty and the people are safe, and the country will last forever."

Zhen Dexiu stood up and stepped forward, holding a congratulatory watch in both hands, solemn and solemn.

The congratulatory table is generally a congratulatory table, a share of the new emperor ascended the throne, or the emperor has a celebration of martial arts and other things, and the courtiers offer a message to congratulate. Now that Zhao Hong has ascended the throne, Zhen Dexiu, as the emperor and the head of the court's articles, naturally wants to express it.

"Zhenqing, bother."

Zhao Hong nodded slightly, and Zhen Dexiu opened the greeting table and read it.

"Chen Zhende Xiuyan: On November 29, the Zhundu Jinju Academy handed over the letter of pardon, and congratulated His Majesty the Emperor on the throne, and congratulated him at home and abroad. The Holy Spirit has a work, and dreams of being the heart of God; Hajj is a return ...... Gu Yanyun is prosperous, and now it is a hundred years; And the return of the old realm of the party will be thousands of miles away. Is it only cherished in dedication...... Saint after saint, Yizhao pays the public. The courtier's defilement...... The heavens and the earth are closed, which can occupy the period of peaceful rule; The sun is on the moon, and I am willing to sacrifice ......"

Zhen Dexiu read it in a frustrated manner, presented the congratulatory table, Zhao Hong took it, pretended to look at it for a while, and then closed it and solemnly put it away.

Zhende Xiu's "He Jinshang Emperor Enthronement Table" believes that the outstanding Zhao Hong's inheritance of the unification is a major event that is the destiny of heaven, the will of the people, and the celebration of the whole world, so it should inherit the fortune of heaven and make great achievements. In the meantime, the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty and the changes in the territory were traced, and the emperor had a long way to go, and he must inherit the legacy of his ancestors, make more than hard work, and achieve peace in the world.

"Your Majesty, true public articles and morality first, no one in my dynasty is invincible. This congratulatory table is solemn and elegant, in line with His Majesty's current situation, and the minister congratulates His Majesty. ”

Xue Ji stood up, and a little flattery made Zhen Dexiu unconsciously smile on his face.

"Xue Xiang is too famous!"

Zhen Dexiu waved to Xue Ji, and the two bowed to each other, and there was a peaceful atmosphere in the imperial study.

"A few days ago, Zhenqing was promoted to the ruling minister, and he also went to the thank you table, the raising of dogs and horses is selfless, and he only loves the righteousness of the king; Although the body of the rivers and lakes is far away, dare to forget the heart of Que? Zhenqing is loyal and upright, and I know it well. ”

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and Zhao Hong endured his impatience, haha, sloppy, and complimented his teacher.

In fact, he only understood about half of the real teacher's congratulatory table, but he sang praises and praised virtues, and the flowers were full of flowers, and he only felt that he was on top, and it was really difficult to be grounded.

The Qin people have no time to mourn themselves, and future generations mourn them. Later generations mourn and do not learn from it, and it also makes future generations mourn for future generations.

Compared with these concise and concise stories through the ages, Zhen Deok-so's articles are too gorgeous to resonate with him.

The Great Song Dynasty was plagued by internal and external troubles, lack of national strength, and withering people's livelihood, far from being as calm as described by Zhen Dexiu.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhen Dexiu said loudly, and then went straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, the former division of the palace, and the generals in the army who have a close relationship with Shi Miyuan Xia Zhen have all been arrested and brought to justice, and Dali Temple and the Criminal Department are being tried. There will be a conclusion in a few days. ”

Sure enough, as the emperor said, the king is the king, and the minister is the minister. A decree of the imperial court, Shi Miyuan's henchmen, including the troublesome officers of the front division of the palace, were not obedient and arrested, and they didn't even make a small wave.

"It's a matter of looking at it. True husband does things, I can rest assured. ”

Zhao Hong nodded, expressing his support for Zhen Dexiu.

Zhendexiu is resolute and never beats around the bush, which he appreciates very much. That's the way things should be.

You do things, I don't worry!

Zhen Dexiu's heart trembled slightly, and he hurriedly received the order to thank him.

The emperor's simple words of praise spoke to his heart.
