I am Da Song

Chapter 156

There are many new faces in the court meeting, the most important ones are the six ministers.

Because the area under the jurisdiction of the imperial court in the first month was only in Tokyo, Zhao Huan was out to quell the rebellion in February, and it was not until March that he finally became familiar with the six ministers.

Except for Chen Zhizhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is Xie Ke's family.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is generally called the Tianguan, because he is in charge of the promotion of officials in a dynasty.

However, this Heavenly Official of the Great Song Dynasty does not have much majesty, which is also the normal state of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

The authority of today's officials is as hot as the summer sun, and no one dares to look directly at it.

With such a powerful official family, the power of the prime minister, the power of the ministers, etc. have to be sluggish.

Xie Ke's family is even more cautious, because he knows very well that his promotion has nothing to do with his ability.

It was entirely because Tang Ke, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials and Prime Minister, committed the crime of Hun. During the national crisis, in order to seek peace, he tried his best to cooperate with the Jin people's request and ordered the cession of tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Hedong and Hebei.He also ordered the world to disband Qin Wang's army, so that he committed public anger and was almost beaten to death in front of the palace by the people of Tokyo.It's hard for him to be an old bone, his feet are very slippery, and he escaped by luck in the siege of thousands of people.

But after this incident, he was ashamed to continue to be an official in the court, and he got out of the capital in despair.

Therefore, Xie Ke's family was promoted from Minister of the Ministry of Officials to Minister of the Ministry of Officials.Under such circumstances, how could the Xie Ke family dare to resist the official family who personally commanded the army and the people to repel the Jin army?He can only keep up with the pace of the officials and support the decisions of the officials in everything.I was afraid that I would follow in the footsteps of the previous Shangshu, be beaten up by the soldiers and civilians in Tokyo, and be driven out of the capital.

The situation of Cheng Zhen, Minister of Rites, is exactly the same as that of Xie Ke's family, there is no difference at all!The former Minister of Rites, Feng Xie, was also the Minister of Zuo Cheng at the same time. Because of the harmony, it was too miserable to be punished by the officials.In the past, Feng Xi was also able to participate in decision-making as a representative of the main peace faction in the imperial court, but the officials deliberately named him to supervise the battle outside the city and transferred the imperial armory.Taking the opportunity to slap him to the end and still not relieved, Yushi Zhongcheng Qin Hui included him in the list of house raids.

Zuo Xiangmei Zhili just took the opportunity to promote Cheng Zhen from the Minister of the Ministry of Households to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.Therefore, he was Mei Zhili's confidant just like Chen Zhizhi, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is a close friend of Prime Minister Li Gang. When Yu Shi Zhongcheng impeached the Minister of the Ministry of Industry for corruption, he was promoted by Li Gang and named Su Chi.

This name is not very famous, but his father's name is known to everyone, named Su Zhe.That is Su Shi's younger brother.

Su Zhe was beaten into the Yuanyou Party during the Huizong Dynasty, that is, Sima Guang's faction.

Da Song's hatred for the members of the Yuanyou party was absolutely gnashing his teeth.At that time, the officials of Yuanyou were relegated and moved to death, but the capital was still not satisfied. The name of the Yuanyou party headed by Sima Guang was engraved in stone, and it was erected in front of the gate of Wende Hall (which is now the place where Tingtui is located). traitor party".All three hundred and nine people whose names were borrowed were imprisoned for their descendants and were not allowed to be officials in the capital and Jindian, capital of the capital.

Later, the party control was loosened. In order to change the fate of the family, Su Chi immediately supported the Yuanfeng Party members, that is, Wang Anshi's faction.

This move, due to chance, is in line with the general trend of the court.Everyone knows that the officials appreciate Wen Gong Wang Anshi very much.Sooner or later, Su had clearly expressed his position before Jingkang, which naturally caught the attention of the prime ministers.It shows that he didn't follow the trend after the official expressed his position.So it was immediately reused by Li Gang.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is Li Ruoshui. This minister was promoted from Quan Zhi Kaifeng Mansion to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment due to his meritorious service.

The Minister of the Ministry of War is the confidant of Sun Fu, the right minister, named Nie Chang.This is a very prestigious minister like Sun Fu, dignified, and he will take revenge.The death of Wang Fu, one of the six thieves, was caused by his assassination on the way.

However, the Ministry of War has no power now, and Zhao Huan assigned military power to the Privy Council.He, like Sun Fu, is an embellishment figure of the imperial court.It is to appease people's hearts with veterans and ministers.

This group of people may be strong or weak, but together they determine the fate of the entire country of Song Dynasty.

Li Gang's military ability may be relatively average, but as a prime minister, he is indeed resolute and decisive, and his style is vigorous and resolute.

The court pushed Zhao Huan to sit on the dragon chair and listen, while Li Gang took full charge of the process.After waiting for everyone to be seated, Li Gang went straight to the point and said to the chief ministers: "The Jin people wanted to order me to cede the rivers and mountains in the east of the river and the rivers and mountains in Hebei. Now in the land of two rivers, there are still Hulu entrenched. It is time to clear the mountains and rivers. Today's court meeting is to quickly appoint the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong, so that the imperial court can regain control of the situation in Hedong."

"If you have any candidates, you can propose them. In the end, vote together on the candidates proposed by you. The three people who get the most votes will be the result of the court recommendation. In the end, it is up to the officials to decide who to appoint as the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong. Go to Hedong to rectify government affairs and reopen Salt."

Sun Fu spoke first, and said: "The old man recommends Wang Di. He is now serving as a servant of Xianmo Pavilion, and a conciliator of Kaide Mansion Road. Under him, the Jinren have never conquered Kaide. He also cooperates with Zongze to cut off the Jinren. The retreat is due to the national disaster. According to the system, it should be rewarded heavily."

Hearing Sun Fu's words, all the ministers in the room nodded slightly.The point is that no one dared to stand up and object. This Wang Di was the grandson of Wen Gong Wang Anshi, and he devoted himself to serving the country, defending the city to the death and fighting the Jin people.No matter how you look at it, the officials are full of affection for him, and it is purely to annoy the officials to come out and object at this time.

When Sun Fu proposed this candidate, Li Gang and Mei Zhili stopped confronting him.They all just mentioned a confidant to help them show their faces and leave an impression on the officials. They never thought of competing with Sun Fu for this spot.

Both of them intend to concentrate on getting the appointment of a planner.In any case, you must help your cronies to the position of planning.

The court's push was extremely efficient, and Wang Di was pushed in front of Zhao Huan with the highest support.

Zhao Huan did not hesitate, and immediately passed, saying: "I will issue an edict to Wang Di, and move him to be the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong Road, ordering him to take office immediately, comfort the people in the territory, and resettle the people. At the same time, assist Han Shizhong to expand the conscription and start the Northern Expedition Prepare. I hope that by next year Hebei and Hedong can form at least [-] troops, and the Northern Expedition will recover the rivers and mountains."

Next, all the ministers were full of energy, and the most important part came, which was about to promote a new minister of the Song Dynasty.

Jixiang is the envoy of the three divisions, in charge of the national finance, under which there are Duzhi Division, Salt and Iron Transshipment Division, and Household Department Division.

Once the Song Dynasty abolished the planning and planning, and placed it under the name of the household department.

But Zhao Huan's soul comes from later generations, and the most concerned thing is taxation.Even places like temples and Taoist temples can't help but strictly rectify and clear taxes.

Naturally, he refused to merge the three envoys into the Ministry of Household Affairs. Instead, he intended to increase the power of the financial department, and further let the minister of finance and the prime minister keep pace.

In Zhao Huan's plan, the prime minister is in charge of administration, the minister of planning is in charge of finance, and the prime minister is in charge of military affairs.Such a separation of powers and a streamlined structure.The powers and responsibilities of prime ministers and prime ministers are no longer allowed to be unclear. Everyone can intervene in the three aspects of military, politics, and finance, and each person cannot be fully responsible for any aspect.

The ministers who participated in the court promotion are all very old and have experienced ups and downs in the officialdom. They are very clear about who can make money and increase fiscal revenue.

When Li Gang announced the proposal of the court, almost all the ministers rushed to speak first.

After all, there are not many such national treasures left, and everyone is afraid that others will announce their proposals in advance.
