I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 497
Set a proposition, and the ministers and workers will solve the problem, solve the problem, and finally announce the answer.Such a process will be very impressive to the scholar-bureaucrats who have passed the imperial examination.

Every time he goes through such a process, it is equivalent to Zhao Xi's preaching of his ruling philosophy.

Judging from the five or six years of pro-government experience, Zhao Xi believes that the initial results have been achieved.

Perhaps it was clear to the onlookers that Zhao Xi received Fu Bi's memorial to the sale of the products and crafts of the workshop city before the ministers and workers who were discussing the government had come to a conclusion...

Whether Ding You, a courtier of the state, will return to the court after the time is up is up to the court to recall him, especially a courtier like Fu Bi.The main issue is the position after returning to the court. He doesn't want those low-level officials to rely on Bianliang and so on.

Fu Bi expressed deep concern about the sale of the products and crafts of Workshop City, and analyzed the consequences of the sale of the products and crafts in detail.There are also suggestions that it should be led by officials.

If you are not in the court, you can put aside those messy interests and look at the problem from the perspective of a real minister.

This is also telling Zhao Xi that it's time for him to be rich, but Ding worried.

This matter... Ouyang Xiu seems to have forgotten his idea of ​​leaving the Political Affairs Hall during this time. Now that Fu Bi is going back to the court, Ouyang Xiu no longer mentioned the matter of asking him to go out.

During this period of time, Manchaotang was in Shiyifa and Gongfangcheng, and there was not even a single impeachment.In addition, I mentioned the reform of the official system, and the architectural pattern of the Palace of Qinzheng...~Old Mr. Ouyang doesn't want to leave the Zhengshitang, right?
In view of the impression of Ouyang Xiu in the two lifetimes, Zhao Xi was really embarrassed to demote him casually.

In fact, Zhao Xi valued Ouyang Xiu's role in the lecture hall...

"The proposed purpose..."

Originally, there was only Wang Zhongzheng alone in the Palace of Qinzheng, but a group of people appeared in an instant, from the inner eunuch who was grinding, to the Hanlin who made edicts, to the people from Zhongshushe who recorded daily notes...

It was an imperial edict about Fu Bi's recovery...Zhao Xi had no choice but to choose this way.

The edict needs to go through the Political Affairs Hall, and Ouyang Xiu will definitely see it.Zhao Xi can decide what to do next based on Ouyang Xiu's reaction after seeing the edict.

According to Zhao Xi's plan, the three-level decision-making system of the cabinet, the ruling and the court, the number of cabinet members is not the current number of political affairs halls.But in Zhao Xi's case, Ouyang Xiu was defined as the ruling level, not the cabinet level. Even if it was the cabinet level, he didn't want Ouyang Xiu to occupy the seat of the Political Affairs Hall.

I misunderstood Ouyang Xiu, the old man is really not greedy for power, it's just that he didn't want to bother the officials by inviting him out all the time during the troubled times of the court.

No, as soon as the edict arrived at the Political Affairs Hall, Ouyang Xiu asked for an audience.

Ouyang Xiu had a memorial in his hand... It seemed that the old man was always ready.

"Mr. Ouyang, there are some things I still need to clarify with you. Since I came to the throne, the stability of the court is the first need. Therefore, the political affairs hall and even the court have not changed much."

"The purpose of this is to prepare for the reform of the official system in the future, and I am not going to add officials to any officials who have left the political affairs hall or the court. I want to change some of the customs."

To deal with a gentleman like Ouyang Xiu, Zhao Xi didn't want to deceive, and told the truth, explaining the possibility of leaving the Zhengshitang first.

"Your Majesty, the old minister respects His Majesty's words, and frequently lectures in the martial arts hall. The old minister has some opinions, which should be stated to His Majesty..."

"I read all the rules and regulations formulated by Your Majesty in the lecture hall, including the courses and handouts prepared by Your Majesty for generals, captains, and soldiers in the lecture hall. Veteran ministers can read them all. I want to ask, does your majesty intend to educate the generals? Conquer the world with generals?"

This is not surprising, Zhao Xi set up the Lecture Hall for the purpose of arming the minds of generals with loyalty.It is not surprising that Ouyang Xiu can read these from the copywriting he wrote over the years.

"Forgive me for being rude. I don't know why Your Majesty left civil servants aside in such a huge plan? After five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the Taizu's ancestral law of civil and martial arts can't be wrong. I don't deny that the martial arts hall can condense the loyalty of generals, but In what way is Your Majesty going to change the civil and military distinctions in the court? How to stop the courtiers' Youyou's mouth?"

Perhaps Ouyang Xiu was about to leave the core layer of the court, but he was able to open up like this.

"Mr. Ouyang, in view of this situation, it is also a helpless move. I also know how difficult it is to change the differences between the civil and military dynasties. Because the previous dynasty perished due to martial arts, and experienced the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it will take another hundred years. The civil-military gap is deeply ingrained in the state structure of civil and military affairs."

"I'm afraid today's scholars began to instill the idea that scholars are above all else when they were enlightened? But in my opinion, loyalty is the core quality of a minister. I still have confidence in educating generals and instilling the concept of loyalty. ...What does Mr. Ouyang think about the country and the court?"

"Nowadays, scholars admire Feng Dao. He is a man who has lived through the thirteen dynasties, but who would have thought that Feng Dao would assist the thirteen dynasties and be a world of several families and surnames?"

"I'm not prejudiced against civil servants. In fact, I think civil and military are both fundamental, and there should be no difference. The key lies in what kind of thinking they use to arm their minds, and what kind of understanding they can have about the state is the key. "

"But Mr. Ouyang must be very clear about what courtiers are like, and what the entire class of scholar-bureaucrats is like. The martial arts hall is not the guard camp in the early years, nor is it the prince's pro-army. The civil servants are not attractive, not because I want to put them aside, but because I can't grasp the thoughts of the civil servants."

"Ouyang Xianggong should have seen it too. Since my early years, all industrial layouts have been accompanied by the intention of the ministers and workers to return to their hearts. I even separated the workshop city, the martial arts hall, and the rail transportation from the court hall. Appropriate talents who are loyal to the state and the Song Dynasty, not courtiers who have a thousand-year-old family and a thousand-year dynasty!"

Zhao Xi answered Ouyang Xiu's doubts very bluntly, pointing out that Wenchen's words were dirty and mischievous.

Ouyang Xiu is a gentleman, and only when facing such a gentleman can Zhao Xi speak freely.

"Why does Your Majesty send veterans to the lecture hall?"

What the officials said shamed Ouyang Xiu as a member of civil servants. This is the truth, and it is also the reason why he has no intention of going to court.

It's just that the official's purpose for letting him go to the lecture hall, he needs to be clear.At his age, values ​​are stereotyped and difficult to change.

"Because Ouyang Xianggong has the quality of loyalty. More importantly, I think that simply emphasizing literature or martial arts is not a normal state of the dynasty."

"The Martial Arts Hall is not attractive to civil servants now. I want to take advantage of Ouyang Gong's status in the literary world to bring the trend of scholars to the Martial Arts Hall. If it is impossible to do something, I don't mind starting with children."

"For me, as long as I am loyal to the Song Dynasty, there is no boundary between civil and military. Therefore, I hope that Ouyang Gong will do my best to achieve such a result."

From every dispute in the court in the past few years, Zhao Xi saw clearly that Ouyang Xiu, whether it was court debate, or the law of young crops and the law of the market, he always stood at an angle that had no position.

This may be because of the hurt of the cronies in the early years, or it may be because of the sadness of the chaotic dog, but it does not prevent Zhao Xi from taking advantage of Ouyang Xiu's influence in the scholarly world.
