"People are private, and there is a party in the court?" Bao Daren pondered slightly, faintly grasping the purpose of Qin Hui's words.
Qin Hui nodded and said: "Yes! Since the establishment of the dynasty, the door of scientific research has been widely opened, and a large number of people of unfamiliar background have been employed. The emperor has delegated power to the scholars, forming a grand occasion for the emperor and the scholar-officials to rule the world. It is just that the great ancestor of this dynasty witnessed the five generations of power ministers. Because of the chaos, I am afraid that the power of scholar-officials will be difficult to control. Therefore, the policy of'interference between different theories' has been laid down, and it is intended to support the dissidents in the DPRK in order to achieve the effect of mutual checks and balances. For a time, although it is beneficial to the emperor to control his ministers, it only stretches into accumulated habits, but it seems to have become the biggest hidden danger of this dynasty."
"Between the politicians and the executives, they attacked each other because of their different political opinions. In order to consolidate their own position, they had to make contact with students and make friends, while the officials of the DPRK and the central government had to invest in different politicians in order to advance to the ranks. In order to seek shelter. Over time, the dynasty discusses matters, whether it is right or wrong, only on factions, whoever wants to do something is mutually restrained, and it is difficult to decide for a long time. Although the Khitan and Jurchens are not as powerful as the current dynasty, the decision is The power is rapid, and its strength is stronger. Although the people of this dynasty are rich and rich, if it is about the military needs, it is more than ten times richer than the Khitan and the Jurchen, but most of the energy resources are helplessly spent on each other. Above the internal friction of the time. The battle with the enemy has not yet started. There are some contenders in the rear, some who are jealous, and some who take the opportunity to plant a relative, nephew and nephew to seek a family background. How can such a government be successful?"
He looked at Bao Daren and said faintly: "March and governance are originally one, but they are not two ends. In the past, the Emperor Zhenzong of the dynasty was imperial court, and Kou Zhun assisted him. The situation is very favorable for this dynasty. Can take the opportunity to break into Khitan, but because Wang Qinruo and Kou Zhun’s political views are at odds, he is afraid that Kou Zhun will use this to make a lifeless contribution, and if he cannot match it, he will ruin Kou Zhun’s words with the Emperor Zhenzong. After a lot of hard work. Since then, the dynasty has never had a half-hearted fight for Khitan. The root cause is that if the troubles in the dynasty cannot be solved, even if there is a million army again, it will be in vain."
Bao Daren frowned, but he had to nod slowly.
What Qin Hui said, every sentence cuts to its disadvantages. Since the establishment of the capital of the Song Dynasty, the Taizu pledged not to kill the ministers and superintendents, but feared the authority and imperial power. Therefore, they used the policy of "interfering with each other" among the governing officials in the DPRK. At the same time, the Yushitai was opened, and it was directly controlled by the emperor. The rest, including the ministers, were not allowed to intervene in the appointment and dismissal of the Yushi Supervisor. The professional impeachment of the faults of hundreds of officials, including the chief, if the chief did not do his job for the country, the censor can hear about the incident and impeach it immediately, even if it proves to be untrue afterwards, it will not be punishable. Yushi Supervisor. On the contrary, the impeached minister, regardless of whether the impeachment is true or not, only needs to write three provinces as soon as the impeachment memorial, and the impeached minister must resign from the top of the memorial, and kneel down to wait before the impeachment. Punishment, in order to show that the hundred officials are fully monitored by the emperor's eyes and ears.
This kind of system design is quite perfect, and the ministers of the government are appointed by ministers with rich administrative experience. The generals can make up for the lack of the emperor's official family who is in a deep palace and is alienated from specific government affairs. The "interference of different theories" and the appointment of officials with different political opinions can not only avoid the situation of relative authority over the imperial power, but also enable the emperor to listen to the pros and cons, analyze the pros and cons, and let the emperor control the final ruling power. The establishment of Yushitai can monitor the movements of hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China at any time. If the officials are obsessed with the party and disagree, it will affect the operation of the government and the government will be impeached and correct their mistakes. Although the Yushi Supervisor has a transcendent status, but low rank, he can only supervise and participate in the implementation of the government and cannot directly participate in the implementation of the government. In this way, the three check and balance each other and monitor each other, even if there is a momentary error in any link. , You can immediately make up for it by the supervision of the other two links, so as not to fall into the chaos of the whole country.
It’s just that there is no perfect system in the world. Such actions can certainly avoid drowsy and chaotic politics. However, the emperor’s officials, the ministers of the zaizhi, and the censors of the censorship must debate each other’s affairs, seeking common ground while reserving differences. Anything that has to be done requires repeated discussions in the hall for a long time. When a compromise is reached, a compromise solution that can be passed has already been talked about, and all the edges and corners have been erased, and it is often completely unrecognizable. The reality is incomprehensible. Second, after discussing and discussing in the courtroom, things have already changed when they can finally make a difference, especially in this era when communication is extremely inconvenient. This problem is even more prominent.
Moreover, the Song Dynasty absorbed the lessons of the late Tang and the Five Dynasties, fearing that the frontline generals would support their own troops and endanger the central government. Therefore, not only did they always revise the military, but also led the army by literati, and even pursued the strategy of controlling the frontline army in the middle of the DPRK, with the generals leading the army. When marching out, according to the rule, the emperor official will issue the next formation plan. When the frontline sergeant marches into the battle, they must act according to the formation plan issued by the emperor official, otherwise it will be resisting the decree and failing to observe the ruler. Being included in a copy by the censor of the censorship is the disaster of ransacking the family and destroying the clan.
In this way, the front-line generals are tantamount to being completely restrained. It is extremely difficult to adapt to the actual situation. He has already lost half of the battle before he fights.
The emperor of the Song Dynasty, except Taizu and Taizong, who were the emperors of bow horses, were born in the army and had a certain knowledge of marching formations. The other emperors all grew up in the palace walls and were raised in the hands of women. In the midst of strategizing, it is just a joke to retire the enemy by issuing a plan for a battle that is thousands of miles away.
On the contrary, the Liao of Khitan in the past and the gold of Jurchen today still retain the semi-civilized state of the original tribal alliance to a certain extent. The system of military and civilian integration and both soldiers and civilians are implemented. Power is concentrated in the hands of a few nobles. The action was the thunderbolt, the thunder was too fast to cover his ears, the enemy was facing the battle, and the coming and going like the wind, the castration was unpredictable, and the ever-changing, which made the Song Army who stuck to the formation found it difficult to resist.
Although this situation was once wanted to be changed, it was not completely broken until the city of Bianliang was broken by the Jinmen, the Song Dynasty moved south, and the central government lost absolute control over the military.
However, with the recent solidification of the Southern Song court, Yue Fei, Liu Qi and other military generals have grown in popularity. Some people in the DPRK have also proposed to restore the former system to strengthen the control of the warriors, and there were many who agreed with this proposal. If it were not for Song Jin Before the agreement was reached, the Jurchen cavalry swept Jiangnan, I'm afraid it will become a reality soon.
Bao Daren's heart moved suddenly, and he understood a little bit why the emperor's official, who had suddenly become so wise and martial, would suddenly want to go to court.
The emperor’s personal conquest, on the one hand, I am afraid that it is just as I originally guessed. I don’t want the military power to be concentrated in the hands of the general for a long time. Yue Fei’s prestige is already very high. With sympathy from top to bottom, if he defeats the Jurchen Jinjin by his own hands, Zong Yue Fei is no longer disagreeable, and it is inevitable that he will be extremely afraid of the situation.
But on the other hand, the personal conquest of the emperor's official family is also an attempt to break all the stale marching conventions of the original dynasty. The emperor's official family's personal presence in the battlefield is equivalent to moving the entire decision-making center from the court to the forefront. Decisions can be made by the emperor's official on the front line according to the actual situation. There is no other strength to be worthy of the elbow, so that you can adapt to the situation, in order to win more with less, and defeat the number of Jurchen golds several times the Song Army in one fell swoop.
Qin Hui looked at Bao Daren’s face, and smiled faintly: “So, you must settle down first. If the evils of the court are not eliminated, the battle with the Jurchen can take advantage of the time and place to make it happen quickly. But it is bound to be unsustainable. If the Jurchens take revenge and attack with all the power of the country, they are afraid that they will not get the foundation to protect the southern half of the Yangtze River. The old man advocated peace and discussion in the past, so I don’t know that he will be ashamed of future generations. It's just that the old man has been infatuated by the ages, for nothing more than the great Song Jiangshan's ten thousand years of foundation, and the world's figures are fiercely discussing, so what is it!"
Bao Daren looked at Qin Hui's god-colored Zhanran eyes and frowned slightly.
What Qin Hui said is well-founded. Even if he knows that there are many far-fetched points, it makes it difficult to argue for a while.
It’s just that Bao Daren had long been determined in his heart. Although he was just talking about lotus flowers, he said that he was in a mess, but Bao Daren also faintly understood its true meaning.
He smiled lightly and asked: "Qin Xiang said that the foreigners must be settled first. If you want to get rid of the Jurchen gold people, you must first go to the imperial court. However, I don't know how Qin Xiang wanted to eliminate this self-reliant state. Over a hundred years of accumulated abuse?"
Qin Hui sat back in the chair, Qin Xi quickly changed into the fragrant tea, Qin Hui lightly took a sip, and then continued: "All malpractices are caused by the excessive separation of powers. At this time of national crisis, if the emperor’s official family receives There is no doubt about the issue of'interference between different theories'. The emperor will be the prime minister, and the prime minister will decide the affairs of the world. When everything in the court is set in the same place, it will naturally be united. Then we will send troops to conquer the Jurchen gold. People, naturally, get twice the result with half, and do no harm."
Qin Xi showed a daze from the side.
Bao Daren sneered slightly, but did not dare to show any clues on his face.
Sure enough!
Qin Hui twisted and twisted, and what he said was still the "virtual emperor's reality" that Goulong Ruyuan said in the Piaoxiangfang in the past.
The king regards the leader recognized by the literati as his counterpart. Once he takes office, the king will let the prime minister do whatever he wants, without many elbows. Once the prime minister acts his virtues, he will be attacked by the subgroups of people from the world. From a theoretical point of view, this is indeed a good design for mutual restraint between the monarchy, the power and the literati. In this way, the monarchy and the power are actually integrated, which is compared with the "different theory" implemented by the original dynasty. The strategy of "interference", due to the most acute contradictions between the monarchy and the rivalry between powers, does help to govern swiftly and increase efficiency, but Bao Daren is very clear. In the present world, this set of ideas is beautiful but fundamentally beautiful. Does not have the feasibility of actual operation.
Qin Hui is the best example!
Many literati have secretly scolded Qin Hui for collaborating with the enemy and traitorously, or forgiving of Qin Hui’s nepotism and linking up with friends, but nowadays, the conflict between the civil service system and the military commander system has turned into a drama, but they have taken Qin Hui as theirs without thinking. Spiritual leader.
The whole group of literati, mostly from the folk, came from a poor family. It is theoretically possible to say that they can experience the sufferings of the folks and supervise the prime minister on behalf of the people.
However, not all literati can speak up in the court, and the literati who stand on the court have actually passed the selection of the standards set by those in power. The scholars who can truly play the role of supervising those in power, consciously or unconsciously, must have already agreed with the ideas of those in power from the heart, so that they can gain a high position. Therefore, if it is used to monitor those in power, it is really difficult to receive any practical results. Those who dare to impeach those in power, if they are not the same deep-rooted and large-scale, intending to replace them, they will inevitably be difficult to speak alone, and even difficult to see in the dynasty. Tang.
In such a way of governing, the winners are only the officials in the court who can use the power to force the monarchy.
"It's just that there is something unclear to the officials." Bao Daren frowned, but his face was sincere: "Now that Qin Xiang has been alone in the court for nearly ten years, he has already said nothing. It can be said that I have already accumulated misfortunes in the Song Dynasty. Except, in a few days, you will be vomiting the old and new, and doing something?"
Qin Hui shook his head gently: "Master Bao's words are not good! One article and one military are the two pillars of the country, but the current ministers or the head of the old man are the only ones who look forward to it, but..."
Bao Daren pretended to say, "It's just that there is Yue Fei in Lin'an City?!"
He smiled and said, "Qin Xiang is overwhelmed. Yue Feiwu was born and a martial artist, how can he compete with Qin!"
Qin Hui laughed dumbly: "I don't know how much the old man wants to take off his shoulders. If Yue Fei can really help the old man carry this burden, the old man can only be grateful, so how can he argue."
He looked at Bao Daren and said: "Yue Fei is a man, loyal and strong, and would rather bend than bend. He is really a first-class guy."
"Oh?" Bao Daren never expected Qin Hui to say good things about Yue Fei, so he couldn't help but move slightly.
Qin Hui sighed softly, "It's a pity that Yue Fei's temperament is destined to only march and fight, but he can't take the overall situation."
"Those who want to reconcile the wok, coordinate the yin and yang, inherit the order of the king, and lead the government of a hundred officials. No matter what you do, there must be a three-point harmony. The most important thing is this kind of temperament. Do you think so?"
Qin Xi took the opportunity to insert a sentence next to him: "Good birds choose wood to live, Master Bao still needs to carefully consider."
Bao Daren was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and arched his hands: "The lower official understands!"
……
Qin Hui looked at the figure of Qin Xi sending Bao Daren out, suddenly there seemed to be a nervous look on his face, turned his head and asked softly: "How is it?"
A woman in a high-and-high cloud bun, dressed in a green-bottomed white silk dress, turned out from the back hall.
She seemed to have the most ordinary face, which was swept away by people, without any impression, but she seemed to have a faint cloud on her face. When you stare at it, you can't tell exactly what you see. .
The strangest thing is that she was dressed as a lady of the Song Dynasty with decorations, but she was holding a crooked stick in her left hand, and in the palm of her right hand, she was holding a very weird little skull, with her demure and elegant temperament. The decorations are extremely inconsistent, but it seems to be the wizard Shanman who has lived in the barren land for a long time.
She came to Qin Hui and said lightly: "This person is indeed a little strange, the soul is not, and the soul is not attached, the main god can't observe the mark of his soul in the day, it seems that he should not belong to this world."
"Huh," Qin Hui let out a long breath: "It really is."
He looked at the sky outside the door, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes: "I had the same feeling in another person."
The woman frowned slightly: "Who?"
Qin Hui turned his head, a smile appeared on his face: "Zhao Go! The emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Go!"
