Just as Kou Ji guessed, after Han Yang was suspended, the melodrama of impeaching Han Yang floated into the palace like snow flakes. The people at Yushitai listed eight major sins for Han Yang, one of which was to treat his subordinates harshly.
Zhao Zhen dismissed Han Yang's position as Shangshu in the Criminal Department.
After Han Yang was dismissed, Song Yang reported sick leave to Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen took advantage of the opportunity to give Song You the title of prince and grandmaster, and relieved him of his actual post.
Since then, all the veterans in the court have gone. Among the remaining civil and military, the oldest is Fan Zhongyan.
When the young and middle-aged people completely occupied the dominant position of the Song Dynasty officials, the Song Dynasty government and the opposition were pressing.
If the old Song Dynasty Hall was like a ruler, now the Song Dynasty Hall is more like a sharp sword out of its sheath.
When the sharp sword is out of its sheath, it is natural to gain something.
Under the guidance of Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen, the sharp sword hit the Great Song Dynasty Hall with the first blow.
The four departments of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Officials, as well as the Yushitai, Dali Temple, and Honghu Temple, have undergone a reform.
All ministries, platforms, and temples are under the administration of the Zhengshitang, which is under the administration of the Imperial History Department, the Government Affairs Department, and the Criminal Law Department.
There are nine sub-divisions under the three divisions.
The political affairs of the Song Dynasty have been further promoted and subdivided.
Zhengshitang was renamed Zhengshiyuan.
The imperial court added the Institute of Management.
Together with the Privy Council, they are called the Third Chamber.
Each of the three houses has one principal official of the second grade and two auxiliary officers of the second grade.
The nine divisions under the jurisdiction of the three houses each have one principal official of the third grade and two auxiliary officers of the third grade.
There are 27 departments under the jurisdiction of the Nine Division, each with a senior official of the fourth grade, and two subordinate officers of the fourth grade.
In addition, each court, department, and ministry has a number of officials.
There are high ranks and land, the highest level of the official can't be higher than the 4th rank, and the lowest ranks 9th.
In addition, the imperial court has specially appointed a minister of the prime minister, from the first grade, to the top of the third house, to assist the official prime minister Chao Tsun.
The post of Prime Minister is specially set up by all the officials.
At the beginning of the establishment, Zhao Zhen had already discussed with the new prime minister Kou Ji and the three chambers of the main court. The prime minister was like the general regent in the Song Dynasty political arena, which was a short-lived one.
When Kou Ji resigns, the post of Prime Minister will be banned and will no longer be established.
Kou Ji is the first prime minister, the last prime minister, and the last first-ranking member of the DPRK.
After Kou Ji stepped down, the minister in power in the DPRK will no longer have a rank.
The first grade and the first grade will become the bestowed officials after the veteran leaves the court.
It's just an honor, it won't have any practical power.
The royal family's salary will not be cut off at four o'clock, and they will be supported to death.
But their memorials can no longer appear in the court, nor can they affect the political situation in the court.
After they left the court, the only thing they could play was the remonstrance when they were dying.
Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen were sitting in the Shishi Hall, watching Chen Lin take off the Shishi Hall signboard at the entrance of Shishi Hall with Gong E and the eunuch in the palace, and put the signboard of the Council Hall.
Kou Ji looked helpless, "Officials, the ministers feel that the ministers can serve in the affairs of the political affairs council. There is no need to give them the position of prime minister, which is a mere increase in trouble.
If the descendants of future generations grasp this point and use the words of the Prime Minister again, then Taizu and Taizong’s efforts to weaken the relative power will probably be weakened in vain. "
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Four brothers, you want to be a member of the political party, have you considered whether Baiguan would agree to it?"
Kou Ji curled his lips and said nothing.
Zhao Zhen laughed loudly.
Kou Ji knew why Zhao Zhen laughed.
The reason why the hundreds of officials asked Zhao Zhen to set up a first-grade prime minister was to hold Kou Ji up high, so as not to prevent Kou Ji from sitting in any of the three houses and affecting the other two houses.
After all, with Kou Ji's current power and majesty, it is still easy to sit alone in one house and remotely control the other two houses.
The hundreds of officials obviously saw the benefits of the three houses, and didn't want Kou Ji to destroy the situation of the three houses, so they asked Zhao Zhen to set up a special position to confess Kou Ji to Gao Gao.
Kou Ji knows the feelings of the hundred officials and understands their practices, so he can only smile bitterly at this, "a bunch of little rascals, for fear that I will bully them among them..."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Isn’t that a dragon in the tiger-wolf pile is a bully? People just think that you, the dragon-fish, mixed in their tiger-wolf pile will affect the situation that the imperial court has finally created. That’s why you are given It's coming out."
Kou Ji did not refute Zhao Zhen's call to him as Jiaolong.
Although he had passed the throne to Kou Tianci, in the eyes of Zhao Zhen and Manchu Wenwu, he was still King of Han.
Kou Ji sighed: "They insisted on confessing to the minister, and the minister recognized him, but you have to keep the minister in the palace to accompany you to review the memorial notes, isn't it a bit wrong?"
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Outside the imperial palace, there is a government office for the Privy Council, and a government office for errands. The government office for errands is under construction, but there is no prime minister’s office for you.
Since the outside of the palace can't accommodate you, then you can only stay with me in the palace.
From now on, this Council Chamber will be the place where you and I will review the memorandums. I will be in the center, you will be on the left, and the third court will be on the right when the affairs of the courtyard and the courtyard are reached.
When they come, you and I will accompany them to discuss politics. If they do not come, we will have the final say in the Chamber. "
Kou Ji smiled bitterly and said, "As a foreign minister, he stayed in the palace for a long time and remained unchanged."
Zhao Zhen laughed, "I will worry if others live in the deep palace for a long time. But Brother 4, if you live in the deep palace for a long time, I am not worried at all."
Kou Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Zhao Zhen approached Kou Ji, and asked curiously, "Is it possible that the fourth brother has gotten more sexual interest after he gets older?"
As soon as Kou Ji was about to speak, he heard Zhao Zhen yell at Chen Lin: "Chen Lin, Chen Lin, go, and replace all the people in the council chamber with beautiful Gong'e. If the fourth brother is interested in that, when the fourth brother returns to the house Bring it on."
Chen Lin grinned and agreed, "The slave and maid complied with the order..."
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen dumbly.
Zhao Zhen winked at Kou Ji and said: "If Brother Si feels that those women in the palace are not spiritual, I can choose some beautiful women into the palace in my name, and let Brother Si choose them."
Kou Ji hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no officials can do nothing."
Zhao Zhen waved his sleeves grandiosely and said, "Four brothers don't need to worry, I am now in my prime of life, and I have chosen some beautiful women to enter the palace. No one has made irresponsible remarks."
Kou Ji said dumbfoundedly: "If the official is elected, then all will stay. Anyway, there will be no official."
Zhao Zhen heard the words and sighed: "Four brother, in two or three years, you will be almost forty. You don't want to add another brother to Godsend? Don't you think Godsend is too lonely
I heard that Liu Heng's nag was hooked up with the three oirans in the Fairy Hall, and two of them were pregnant with his children.
I don't think there is any relationship between Liu Heng and those women in the dust. I think he is just to add two more brothers to his son, so that his son will not be lonely.
Liu Heng's idiot knows how to open branches and leaves, wouldn't the fourth brother not want it? "
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The minister has a god-given one, and the official is worried about me. It's better to worry about Run'er. Run'er's age has arrived, and the official doesn't plan to help him choose a show girl
When Zhao Zhen heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry..."
Kou Ji saw this with a smile on his face, but he was scolding his mother in his heart.
The dog's heart is obviously not dead, but also thinking about Kou Hui.
Kou Ji didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, for fear that Zhao Zhen would get involved with Kou Hui again, so he accompany Zhao Zhen to chat about some gossip.
Chen Lin led people to quickly set up the chamber.
After everything was set up in the Senate Hall, each of the three courts, the highest government office in the court, entered the Senate Hall with a thick stack of memorabilia.
"Chen Ouyang Xiu..."
"Chen Fan Zhongyan..."
"Chen Yang Wenguang..."
"See the official, met the prime minister..."
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji waved their hands, and the three got up.
Zhao Zhen said nothing, Kou Ji smiled and stared at Ouyang Xiu, "Ouyang Xiu, the Political Affairs Council has just begun to restructure, and the resistance below is very strong. Are you still used to it?"
Ouyang Xiu said, "Going back to Shangguan, although the political affairs council has a heavy burden, but Bao Zheng, Tang Jie, Pang Ji, etc. are used to help, it is still a habit to go down to the government."
Kou Ji nodded and said: "That's good. If you meet some tough people or pedantic people, don't be polite, and don't be merciful when you should start."
Ouyang Xiu arched his hands again, "The lower official understands."
Kou Ji looked at Yang Wenguang again, and said with emotion: "You are a general at once, and now you are buried in the case all day, are you afraid it will be uncomfortable?"
Yang Wenguang looked bitter, and said honestly: "The next officer, a military minister, is really unaccustomed to handling those complicated official documents."
Kou Ji bluntly said: "When you are fine, you can learn more about how to deal with complicated official documents. It is not too late to learn. Nowadays, there are no strong enemies around Da Song. Even if one suddenly appears, it is not your turn to bring it personally. Soldiers go into battle, so you are likely to spend a long time on the case in the future.
If you don't learn it, you will be easily fooled by your subordinates and will easily affect national affairs.
Your father was like this back then.
He sits on the border and has outstanding military exploits, but he is so lacking in government affairs that he was fooled by his subordinates and repeatedly reprimanded by Taizong.
You can't follow your father's footsteps.
People say that Jiangmen Huzi, the tiger is not only on the battlefield, but also in the court. "
Yang Wenguang gave a deep salute to Kou Ji, "The official understands..."
Kou Ji nodded and looked at Fan Zhongyan again, "You are in charge of all the money and food of the Song Dynasty, and you have a great responsibility. You need to be cautious in case of trouble. If you are more cautious, if there is a slight difference, the court may catch countless money and food."
Fan Zhongyan solemnly said: "The official understands..."
After Kojti ordered the three, he leaned back on the seat and stopped speaking.
Zhao Zhen sat up slowly, and said with a smile: "What the fourth brother said is what I said, and I hope the three Aiqings will remember."
Yang Wenguang, Fan Zhongyan, and Ouyang Xiu gave the ceremony together.
"Hey..."
Zhao Zhen pointed to the seat on the right side of the Council Chamber.
The three of them bowed their hands and walked over and sat down with Zoushu in their arms.
After sitting down, Zhao Zhen asked, "Is there any major event in the DPRK that needs me and my fourth brother to deal with in recent days?"
Ouyang Xiu put aside the notes in his hand, and said, "Back to the official house, with the exception of the Kaifeng Prefecture, Shaanxi Prefecture, Chuan Prefecture, Jiangning Prefecture, and other nine prefectures, the rest of the prefectures are arrogant about the restructuring.
What the officials meant was to punish them a little bit, then change their positions, and give them a warning to see the after-effects. What do the officials think? "
Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "There is no bloodless restructuring. I have no intention of fighting against those pedantic people.
Just follow your instructions and give them a warning first. If they still dare to violate the power, then the demotion should be demoted and the kill should be killed.
Don’t keep your hands, don’t care who is behind them.
If someone embarrass you with something like a backer, you can tell me, and I will deal with his backer together. "
Ouyang Xiu nodded slowly and said, "Hey..."
Kou Ji asked, "How about the frontier houses?"
Ouyang Xiu said with a bitter face: "The frontier prefectures are now full of a large number of criminal records. Many local government offices are not sound. It is easy to implement the New Deal, but if you want to see results, I am afraid that you will have to wait for those criminal records to become the citizens of the Song Dynasty. That's all right."
Kou Ji groaned: "In the future, we can find a way to slowly introduce the borderland's criminal status to the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty. However, all the border residents who have escaped from their nationality can move part of them into the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty.
At the same time, some poor people in the hinterland of the Song Dynasty can be moved out to make up for the lack of the people in the border areas.
At the same time, we must invest more in education. "
Ouyang Xiu nodded and said: "This matter is also considered by the officials. But now the fourth batch of Mengtong students in the Great Song Mengxue have graduated. They are far behind the local scholars, so they can't enter the Imperial College, Taixue, and Wenchang School. You can’t enter the major academies such as Yingtian Academy.
The current situation is very embarrassing.
People who have no intention of continuing their studies have entered a hundred professions and become the mainstay of them.
Those who intend to continue their studies are a bit at a loss now.
If they continue to learn, they don't know what to learn, and if they don't continue to learn, they will be unwilling.
Except for the children of some big families, who have schools in their homes to continue their studies, students from poor families now have no place to study.
So what the students mean is whether it is possible to carry out county school and government school in accordance with the plan set by the government and the prime minister. "
Zhao Zhen sighed and said: "The conditions for the establishment of county schools and government schools are ripe. The location of the college and the school building are easy to solve. The key is that the husband is hard to find.
After the establishment of county schools and government schools, not only the inherent six classics of the students will be taught, but other subjects will also be taught.
There are eight subjects in the county, and I am afraid that the prefectural school will be divided into two colleges, and each college has eight subjects.
So the number of gentlemen needed is huge.
The imperial court can't solve it now. "
Ouyang Xiu was a little confused when he heard this.
After pondering for a while, Ouyang Xiu asked in surprise: "Does the official family intend to pass on some knowledge of Da Shi?"
Zhao Zhen nodded and shook his head again, "Some of them are big food studies, but most of them are books written by the fourth brother and other erudite doctors.
For example, four brothers and the teachers of Taixue, Guozijian, and Wenchang Academy jointly sorted out arithmetic, some of which originated from my inherent arithmetic in China, and some were derived from Da Shi arithmetic, and some of them were based on their own advances. The teacher teaches and summarizes the arithmetic.
Compared with the previous complicated arithmetic, the new arithmetic is more organized, progressive and extended.
The PhDs of arithmetic from Taixue and Guozijian have said that once the new arithmetic is launched, a large number of arithmetic masters who will not lose to them will emerge.
But currently, only the fourth brother is proficient in new mathematics.
Those PhDs in mathematics from Taixue and Guozijian can only be regarded as crude.
It is impossible for me to let a prime minister personally go down to give lectures in various counties, right? "
When Ouyang Xiu heard Zhao Zhen's words, he said in a deep voice: "Officials, it is difficult to promote the knowledge of a family. Only when it becomes the knowledge of everyone can it be widely taught.
Therefore, officials should not shelve the establishment of county schools and government schools because of their family knowledge.
The minister thought that the county school and the government school should be established first, and the existing subjects that can be promoted should be included.
Later, new subjects such as mathematics will be added slowly. "
Zhao Zhen said quietly: "I also know this truth. I am afraid that after the establishment of the county school and the government school, new disciplines will be added, and the gentlemen in the county school and the government school will not agree.
If they use this to make trouble, the power is much more powerful than that of the wealthy.
I won't be able to deal with it then. "
Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu frowned. After pondering over and over again, Ouyang Xiu gritted his teeth and said: "Then Guoxue should be established above the government school. Guoxue is directly under the control of the imperial court, and new subjects and scientific examinations are set up in Guoxue. Those who cannot pass the scientific examination are not allowed to enter the Chinese Studies.
If you don't enter the national studies, you can't go out of office for life.
People from local government and county schools have to set up new disciplines if they want their students to become official.
Otherwise, you won't be admitted to Chinese Studies. "
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji glanced at each other. Zhao Zhen said to Ouyang Xiu: "In this way, the time for students to study will probably become very long."
Ouyang Xiu said in a deep voice: "It was just right to enter Mongolian school at the age of five, enter the county school at the age of eleven, enter the school at the age of fourteen, and enter the national school at seventeen.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji looked at each other again, and there was a smile in their eyes.
Seeing this, Ouyang Xiu's heart jumped.
He has a feeling of being tricked.
He felt that Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji might have long thought of setting up Chinese Studies, but they didn't say that they were waiting for a bully to come and tell them about it, so that they could take the offending people away.
He seemed to be the one who took a lot of money.
Zhao Zhen smiled and asked Kou Ji, "What do you think of Brother Si?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "The minister thinks Ouyang Xiu's words are reasonable."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Then do as Ouyang Aiqing said, and leave the matter to Ouyang Aiqing."
Ouyang Xiu's face was a bit bitter.
Hearing the dialogue between the two of them as if they were acting, he could be sure that he was in the middle of the game.
Kou Ji saw Ouyang Xiu's thoughts and said with a smile: "Relax, you don't need to memorize the infamy. It's just that enlightenment is a millennial plan and must be carried out persistently.
I will not stay in Bianjing for too long, and it is impossible for officials to focus on enlightenment all the time, so someone needs to keep an eye on this matter all the time.
When the new discipline is implemented, I will implement it in my name.
When others scold me, they scold me, and they can’t scold you.
You just need to help me and the official stare more on this matter.
In addition, go to the Imperial College and see if you can persuade Jia Changchao to become the head of the Ministry of Education and Culture.
He is a person with great potential to become a college student, and he has contributed to the compilation of the Tiansheng Dictionary.
He also attaches great importance to enlightenment, so if he is appointed as the head of the enlightenment department, he should be able to achieve something. "
When Ouyang Xiu heard this, he was relieved. He smiled bitterly and frankly: "The official is really worried that he will be scolded to death by scholars in the world."
Kou Jishi smiled and said: "Do you think that a simple Chinese learning can force those people to be subdued? Before the new academic doors are completely opened, it is estimated that the heads of the academies will be filled by great Confucian masters who are proficient in the Six Classics.
If they lose their temper, they can fight for their lives.
So just relying on Chinese learning can't stop them. "
Fan Zhongyan, who had been silent for a while, said in a deep voice: "The officials and the prime ministers are planning to take the imperial examination for new studies?"
Ouyang Xiu looked surprised.
Incorporating new studies into the imperial examination system had a much greater impact than restructuring.
The Six Classics, which dominated the imperial examinations for hundreds of years, suddenly had to go to the examination room with the new school that just came out. Can those great scholars and scholars who study the Six Classics tolerate it
Kou Ji glanced at Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu, and smiled indifferently: "I know what you are worried about, so I'll ask you a question. How can a person who is not proficient in mathematics be an official in the Institute?"
Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu fell into silence.
Fan Zhongyan, as an affair of the Imperial Academy, is well aware of how complicated the accounts of the Imperial Academy are and how much money he controls.
A person who is not proficient in mathematics, accounts, or government affairs at the Institute of Management, cannot be an official at the Institute of Management.
Mathematics is just one of the simplest requirements for an official at the Institute of Science and Technology.
If you can't even satisfy this, it would be a disaster to join the Institute of Management.
A small wrong decision, or a small omission in the accounts, is likely to cause the court to lose a lot of money.
Although Ouyang Xiu did not serve in the Institute of Management, he had a good relationship with Fan Zhongyan, and he often heard about the affairs of the Institute of Management from Fan Zhongyan's mouth.
He roughly knows the amount of money that the Institute of Management is now in charge of, and he also knows how complicated the accounts of the Institute are today.
People who are not proficient in arithmetic and accounting can only do some errands and miscellaneous tasks when they enter the institute.
To be an official or chief official is to harm others.
Seeing that the two were silent, Kou Ji continued to ask: "How can a person who does not understand the criminal law be an official in the Criminal Law Department?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan still did not speak.
Kou Ji said frankly: "You have also served as local officials. You should understand that accounts, criminal laws, etc., must be presided over by someone who is proficient.
Those who are not proficient will be deceived if they go.
Every year, officials deceived by subordinates abound in the imperial court because they are not proficient in various government affairs.
When we choose officials in the future, we can no longer choose officials according to the Six Classics.
Some highly demanding official positions must be held by a proficient person.
Therefore, it is imperative to add new things to the imperial examination.
We must not only add new things to the imperial examination, but also arrange the elected officials to their appropriate positions.
Only in this way can the imperial court be able to understand government orders, and there are fewer omissions. "
