Chapter 120: Taizu's descendants can't be emperors
The Constitutional Yuan was newly established, but it did not immediately point fingers at various departments, but mainly focused on collecting data.
With less than three months to go before the end of the year, Zhao Jun made some requests.
First, all departments are required to hand in the internal statistics of their departments this year; second, they are required to submit the current list of officials; and third, several new departments are to be established.
At present, the new departments adjudicated mainly include the Ministry of Statistics, the Ministry of Geology, the Bureau of Firearms, the Bureau of Creation, the Ministry of Jiaozi, and so on, which are used for statistical data, exploration and development, firearms research, invention and creation, and banking and finance.
As for the dismantling of the rest of the departments, the subdivision of powers, the system of official responsibility, and the issue of new state policies, it will probably not begin until next year.
However, Zhao Jun has already asked Lu Yijian and them to let out the news, which can be regarded as giving various departments time to react.
And by the way, you can also see the wind direction of other departments.
If some departments want to make a stumbling block here, and some people want to do something, then take advantage of this time to solve it together.
Save the time when you really start your career in the future, and you will be in front of you and on the back.
I have to say that his way of dealing with it is still relatively sophisticated.
This is due to the fact that I took "Political History" in college, and studied ancient and modern politics.
In fact, there is no need to study it deliberately, just look at the comparison between the ancient functional departments and the modern functional departments, and you will know that there are general similarities.
For example, the functions of the ancient military department and the modern Ministry of Defense are very different. The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of finance, which is almost no different from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Civil Affairs in later generations.
So the comparison between ancient and modern is basically a change of name.
What Zhao Jun did was not to make drastic reforms, but to clearly divide the chaotic functions of officialdom in the Song Dynasty, set things right, and return to their proper departmental tasks.
Instead of kicking the ball everywhere, in the end, the big fart has to be dealt with by the political affairs hall.
Therefore, in this regard, the resistance should be much smaller.
The specific division of functions is Zhao Jun's next task, but he already has a certain idea.
For example, at present, the three divisions and six departments can be dismantled and reorganized.
The three departments were changed into the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Finance, the household department in the six ministries was the Ministry of Population Statistics and Taxation, the Ministry of Industry was dismantled into a geological department, the criminal department was changed into the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple was changed into a court system, and a procuratorate system was added to achieve the separation of judicial powers.
Then it is to make the Imperial Historical Observatory a supervision department, the Ministry of Officials as the Ministry of Personnel and the Organization Department, the Ministry of War as the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of Etiquette out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Culture, and the Ministry of Propaganda.
Strictly speaking, these departments had corresponding powers in ancient times, but the division of responsibilities was not so clear, and the powers were large and small.
Now that it is dismantled and reorganized, some will retain their original functions, some will separate some new departments from their original functions, and some will simply add some departments, so as to clearly divide the original chaotic functions and powers and responsibilities that cannot be specified in detail, and the national development plan will be much clearer.
In this way, the power organs of the Song Dynasty will be headed by the Constitutional Yuan, and the following will be divided into departments such as the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Finance (the original three divisions), the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Education, the Propaganda Department (the function of the former Ministry of Rites), the Ministry of Geology (the function of the former Ministry of Industry), the Dali Temple (the court system), the Procuratorate (the procuratorate system), the Yushitai, the Bureau of Statistics, the Firearms Bureau, the Creation Bureau, the Ministry of Communications and other departments.
These departments are equivalent to the high-ranking official units of later generations, and in ancient times, they were also equivalent to the original three provinces and six ministries, and there has not changed much in terms of responsibilities and roles, that is, the functions are clearly determined, and what departments do what they do, not as before, you can manage me, you can care, and I can not care about such a chaotic situation.
So in general, the first thing Zhao Jun did after he got started was still very planned. There was no drastic reform, and there was no large-scale elimination of officials, but only sorting out, and even adding some official posts. Just like if you want to repair the computer room, you must first clean the wiring of the computer room.
After the meeting, everyone went back to their desks to take care of their own business. Now that the Constitutional Yuan has been newly established, there is no direct transfer policy, so it will continue to be carried out in accordance with the functions and powers of the previous Political Affairs Hall.
Fan Zhongyan is an alternate, his main position is Kaifeng Mansion Yin, so he went to Kaifeng Mansion, and Yan Shu also went to the Third Division.
Zhao Jun now has the power to act as a prime minister like LΓΌ Yi and Jian Wang Zeng and them, but he did not immediately intervene in government affairs. Lu Yijian and they were more comfortable in dealing with these things, and it would be to add chaos to them if they went by themselves, so he didn't stay in the Constitutional Yuan and went out to do his own business.
And just when the Constitutional Yuan was newly built, the Great Song Dynasty was in ruins, and it was about to usher in the dawn.
What happened in the early dynasty also quickly spread throughout Bianliang.
The fact that Zhao Jun is the youngest son of the first emperor has been noisy and alarmed many people.
The first one is naturally Dazong Zheng Zhao Yunrang.
Because Zhao Zhen is twenty-six years old and has no son, in order to avoid the loss of the country, as early as last year, at the suggestion of the courtiers, Zhao Zhen adopted Zhao Yunrang's son Zhao Zongshi into the palace and was raised by Queen Cao.
So in the face of this sudden news of the young son of the first emperor, Zhao Yunrang was shocked.
At noon, Zhao Yunrang's house in Xuanpingfang, Zhao Zongyi hurriedly walked into the hall, Zhao Yunrang was drinking tea, he liked to drink flower tea the most.
Outside, the autumn wind rustles the leaves.
Seeing the eldest son recklessly breaking in, Zhao Yun let Zongzheng's face rise and shouted, "Panic, what do you look like?" β
Zhao Zongyi hurriedly said: "Father, something is wrong. β
"What?"
Zhao Yunrang put down the teacup in his hand.
Zhao Zongyi said: "In the morning, the official family set up a political system to control hundreds of officials, and he was the prime minister of the ancient world. β
"Huh?"
When Zhao Yunrang heard the news, he frowned and said, "How can this be? The prime minister is already powerful, and now he has resumed the prime minister, has the official family forgotten about Cao Cao? β
Zhao Zongyi smiled bitterly: "The key is to set up a political institute, but the governor of this political institute is Zhao Jun." β
"Zhao Jun?"
Zhao Yunrang's eyes widened and asked, "That Zhao Jun from the Imperial City Division?" β
"Yes."
Zhao Zongyi said: "Now Bianliang is rumored that this Zhao Jun is the youngest son of the first emperor, so he has to be valued by the official family." β
"Ridiculous."
Zhao Yunrang stood up from his chair, his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed.
Zhao Zongyi hurriedly said: "But now Bianliang is spreading." β
"What's the use of passing on these things? As long as it is not a clan, Chuan Potian is just a surname Zhao. β
Zhao Yunrang didn't panic too much, he was a great Zongzheng, and no one knew better than him whether there was a person named Zhao Jun in the sect.
Zhao Zongyi saw that his father was quite calm, so he also calmed down and said, "It's the child's gaffe." β
Although Zhao Yunrang said this, he couldn't help but be a little worried, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately asked Zhao Zongyi: "What is the movement in the palace?" What happened to your thirteenth brother? β
Zhao Zongyi said: "There is no news in the palace, the thirteenth brother is raised by the queen, and yesterday the queen also sent someone to say that the thirteenth brother is very cute." β
"Hmm."
Zhao Yunrang pondered for a moment, and then said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, just let me deal with it." β
"Yes."
Zhao Zongyi responded respectfully.
Then the father and son talked about some other things, and Zhao Zongyi left.
After the eldest son left, Zhao Yunrang walked slowly in the house.
Although he is sixteen years older than Zhao Zhen, he and Zhao Zhen are actually the same generation, and during the Zhenzong period, he never had a son, and he was once sent to the palace as a prince to cultivate.
As a result, Zhao Zhen was born later, and he was useless as a spare tire, so he was sent out of the palace in disgrace.
This incident has always made him feel very ashamed.
After all, he was only one step away from that position back then, but he missed it because Zhao Zhen was born.
So Zhao Yunrang hated Zhao Zhen all his life.
It's just that he hides it very well, never behaves in front of outsiders, and has always been respectful to Zhao Zhen and doesn't give Zhao Zhen any handle.
Now the opportunity has finally been waited for him.
In these years, Zhao Zhen followed his father's old path again, and he had no children at the age of twenty-seven, and at the suggestion of the courtiers, he brought Zhao Yunrang's thirteenth son, Zhao Zongshi, into the palace.
Although he didn't ascend to that throne, it seems that it is not bad to pin his hopes on his son.
This made Lao Thirteen the greatest hope in Zhao Yunrang's life.
As a result, a Zhao Jun suddenly appeared now?
"Zhao Jun?"
"Zhao Jun!"
Zhao Yunrang pondered carefully in the hall, and muttered two sentences in his mouth.
This Zhao Jun could never be the son of the first emperor.
Otherwise, there would definitely not be a little rumor for so many years.
And this person is not a clan.
At least in his memory, there was no one named Zhao Jun in the clan, including Taizu's lineage.
So what exactly is the situation with this person?
Will it pose a threat to Zongshi's position as the prince?
Zhao Yunrang narrowed his eyes.
Let's be honest.
He didn't think the threat was great, or even nothing.
After all, Zhao Jun's origin is unknown, and he has not entered the family tree, so it is impossible to become the heir of the emperor.
Even if Bianliang rumors are flying all over the sky, when will Bianliang have no rumors.
Even if he is a clan, the clan is still divided into the Taizu lineage and the Taizong lineage. At least Taizong's lineage is sure that there is no such person as Zhao Jun.
So Zhao Yunrang didn't think that Zhao Jun could cause him any trouble.
The only problem is.
This person is in charge of the political system, controls the hundred officials, and becomes the head of the hundred officials, will it pose any threat to my son's succession to the throne in the future?
If this person is very powerful and can influence the emperor's decision-making, what if someone else returns to the palace to raise him?
Zhao Yunrang groaned softly.
In his opinion, Zhao Zhen is twenty-seven years old, and there has been no movement in the palace, so he should not be able to have children.
If his thirteenth son goes well, the possibility of becoming a prince is very high.
But I'm afraid that this Zhao Jun is making some kind of trouble.
After all, in addition to their Shang Gongjing King's lineage, Taizong's descendants also have descendants of King Zhen Gongyi, King Chu Gonghui, and King Zhou Gongsu, and there are many descendants.
Especially King Zhou Gongsu, that is, King Jing Zhao Yuanyan.
At the beginning, his heirs were also brought into the palace by Empress Dowager Liu and were his strong competitors.
In case this Zhao Jun said that he moved the official family and sent the descendants of other families into the palace, then his situation would be very passive.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yunrang did not hesitate, and immediately went back to the study to write a recital.
He wrote the slash for two purposes.
The first is to use the rumors that Bianliang is full of rumors about the young son of Emperor Zhao Jun as an excuse to ask the emperor if there is such a thing, so as to test the details of Zhao Jun.
Secondly.
In case this person is really a clan, then he can talk to Zhao Jun about it, if the other party supports his child, then everything is easy to say.
If the other party didn't support it, then he would have to announce the matter and ask for Zhao Jun to return to the clan.
Anyway, Zhao Yunrang was sure and sure that this person named Zhao Jun was not from Taizong's lineage, even if it was Taizu's lineage, it didn't matter.
The descendants of Taizu can't be emperors.
