It's just that the appointment of a temple order can only be completed after going through the six procedures of Taichang, Shaofu, Guangluxun, Cabinet and Son of Heaven.

I don't know how many times more cumbersome than the original.

If this matter had been done before, it would have only been done through a government office of the Shangshu Department.

Moreover, as a cabinet scholar, Zhang Anshi has no right to meddle in any link except for the draft.

If he really wants to do this, Zhang Anshi must use his personal relationship to find Taichang, Shaofu and Guangluxun to intercede.

This is not a self-effacing statement, but a real plea.

In the past, whether it was Lingshang or General Sima, the rank was much higher than that of Jiuqing, and they were their proper officials.

Under the circumstances at that time, even if Zhang Anshi did not intervene in this matter directly, he could still give an order to Jiuqing and let them do it according to their own ideas.

But now the situation is completely different, the cabinet scholars and the Jiuqing two mansions have the same rank, but the division of labor is different, but there is no distinction between upper and lower.

Then, if Zhang Anshi wants to do this, he can no longer use his identity to force Gong Sui and them.

So I really have to intercede one by one.

However, the Son of Heaven reformed the cabinet system in a way that prevented some people from abusing their private powers, cronyism, and forming parties for personal gain.

I'm afraid that no one in the Jiuqing and Second Mansions would dare to connect and do such a thing that is easy to be feared by the Son of Heaven at the risk.

"Brother, don't forget, the officials of the Jiuqing Second Mansion are almost all former ministers brought by county officials from Changyi State, they used to be inconspicuous in the court, but they are not incompetent."

"Just like the new Great Sima Wang Ji, it seems that he is a useless Confucian student, but before he led someone to escort the Son of Heaven to seize the military power of the lieutenant of the middle base, and even led the troops to block the thieves under the horizontal gate."

"In addition to being thoughtful, the biggest skill of the county officials is to buy people's hearts, these old ministers of Changyi State have been getting along with the county officials day and night for many years, and they have long been dead to him."

"Although they are both Confucian students, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult than ascending to the sky if I want them to do something against the original intention of the county officials now." What Zhang Anshi said was heartfelt, and there was some desolation and helplessness.

Although Zhang Anshi is not as obsessed with power as Huo Guang, and he does not have any intention of encroaching on power, after all, he has lived in the court for a long time and was suddenly robbed of the power in his hands, and he will inevitably feel lost for a while.

After Huo Guang was imprisoned in this general's mansion, Zhang Anshi's power reached its peak, and it was only two months before he was taken away by the Son of Heaven.

So much so that Zhang Anshi regrets it from time to time, regretting that he didn't make plans for his brother and family at that time.

I have the right not to use it, and I will not be deceived if it expires.

"Ziru, don't say it again, my brother knows your difficulties, and he will never mention this matter again, just make a court order, and after doing it for many years, there is nothing bad about it." Zhang He said with a wry smile.

"Brother, don't worry, if there is a chance, I will definitely try my best to say yes to my brother." Zhang Anshi said with shame on his face.

"You and I are already old, Peng Zu and they are the most important, what can they do about their future?" Zhang He said worriedly.

"Brother, don't worry, I know the priorities, although I can't help them directly, but there are still people who will buy my old face at the critical moment, and I have a sense of proportion in this matter." Zhang Anshi said firmly.

"Okay, then there will be Lao Ziru."

The two brothers did not say anything more, and there was a brief silence between the study rooms once again.

Not long ago, this was Huo Guang's study, and it was not easy for them to come once, but now it has become a place for the two brothers to discuss secret matters, and they can't help but feel a little complacent and afraid.

Especially Zhang Anshi, he has been here more than once, and remembers that there was a picture of Zhou Gong becoming king on the wall.

That was the source of Huo Guang's power.

At this time, the picture of Zhou Gong Cheng Cheng had long been missing, and only a dazzling mark was left on the wall.

Huo's family is indeed prominent, but after all, it does not exist at all.

Although Zhang's is not as good as that, it is still standing.

This is where Zhang Anshi is stronger than Huo Guang.

"Ziru, after the county officials have been changed like this, the government seems to be more complicated, won't it lead to a bad government?" Zhang He, whose mind had stabilized, asked a digression.

"Brother can't look at it like this, it's really cumbersome for courtiers to meddle in court politics, but for county officials, there is no change, and it's even much faster."

"In the past, if the county official wanted to do something, he had to go through the Shangshu Bureau, and then issue an edict or order to Jiuqing through the prime minister or the big Sima."

"But now it's different, the three dukes have been abolished, and the cabinet is not the official of the Jiuqing Second Mansion, so that the Son of Heaven is equivalent to directly ordering the Jiuqing and Second Mansions, and the cabinet is just drafting an edict, and the county officials can even draft the edict themselves and send it to the Jiuqing and Second Mansions."

"In this way, the county officials will order, the cabinet will draft the edict, and the Jiuqing and the two governments will directly implement it, and the implementation of the government will be much faster."

Zhang Anshi spoke eloquently, and soon made the advantages and disadvantages of the cabinet system clear - inferior to courtiers and superior to the Son of Heaven.

"No wonder the county officials did not let the old officials of Changyi State enter the cabinet, but let them serve as the chief officials of the Jiuqing Second Mansion, it turned out to be to prevent ......," Zhang He did not dare to go on.

"Brother is right, it is to prevent the cabinet from being disobedient, if the cabinet resists, the county official can directly order the Jiuqing and the second government to completely abolish the cabinet."

"Ziru, what is the reason for the county official to make such a big disturbance in the court?"

"The county officials naturally want to let the follow-up new policies be implemented smoothly, and naturally to enrich the people and strengthen the people." Zhang Anshi shook his head and said.

"Brother Wei always thinks that this new policy is really scary, do you know what the law is going to change for the county officials?"

"The county magistrate has already made a plan in his heart, and he likes to secretly Chen Cang, so he doesn't discuss this new deal with us at all, so I don't know the inside story." Zhang Anshi was even more helpless.

"Then we have to wait?"

"Well, I can only wait, but I also guess where the Son of Heaven is going to start next."

"What?" Zhang He asked with some excitement.

"I'm afraid it's the imperial examination system that I mentioned a few months ago."

"Really?"

"Brother, don't forget, there is another big event to happen in a few days."

Zhang He looked dazed, but he couldn't remember what was going on for a while.

"Shiqu Pavilion debates." Zhang Anshi said this.

When Zhang He heard this, he suddenly realized that he remembered this matter that had been decided a few months ago.

"Debate on the scriptures and the imperial examination, I'm afraid it's another earth-shaking event, and it's difficult for Chang'an City to have peace anymore."

The laughter of the children not far away is getting more and more lively, and the sound of the bamboo orchestra is also getting better, which is a cheerful atmosphere.

Children are still fine, don't worry about this sycophant court.

The two brothers said no more, and the long night passed. (End of chapter)
