I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 614 A Familiar yet Unfamiliar Atmosphere
In the preparation stage of anything, no matter how you think about it, you feel that it is not enough, and you always feel that there are some shortcomings.

The beginning is the beginning, there is nothing wrong with it.

Just like the current Great Court Meeting, from the submission of proposals for participating in politics to the submission of answers, to Zhao Xi's five-year plan, no matter whether everything is ready or not, this day is still here.Zhao Xi felt as if it was no different from usual.

He still got up at Yinshi, and he still ran and exercised along the inner garden, and Wang Zhongzheng accompanied him as usual.

It has been more than 20 years, and the habit has been maintained like this. The palace guards are also familiar with the routine of the officials, stretching at the sentry post at the same time, and saluting when they see the officials passing by.

Then, Zhao Xi washed and changed his clothes under the service of the maids, put on court clothes, and brought a guard of honor, and walked towards Qinzheng Palace on the hour of Mao.

The same road, the same mood, but different thoughts.

Along the way, Zhao Xi wanted to go through the agenda of the Great Court Meeting, but his mind was completely empty...~ I remember the same thing happened in my previous life when I got married. Until this day, there was always something inappropriate in my mind. When this day comes, On the contrary, there are not so many scruples.

This day must pass.

Today's court meeting is completely on the agenda set by Zhao Xi. Unlike the past, even the Ministry of Rites can't find ready-made regulations.

Zhao Xi was really relieved.After all, this is the first time, and it is the first time that I lead the change. Whether it is successful or not may be related to my prestige.

It's just that today, success or failure is finalized.

To be honest, if it weren't for Wang Anshi's three sentences, if he hadn't gradually established his prestige in the court, if he hadn't been fighting with civil officials time and time again, his great changes in the court might not have been possible.

How many times over the years, Zhao Xi released too many benefits, how many times he dug pits and buried civil servants, and Wang Anshi's ancestors were not lawful, so that this kind of grand court meeting model came into effect.

Arriving at the Hall of Qinzheng, there should have been a different mood, but Zhao Xi couldn't find any difference from the usual, that's all.

Maybe it's a habit, maybe it's the trust of future generations in the advanced model of future generations, Zhao Xi really doesn't feel any private tension.

That's right, I am a king, and a king who has accumulated prestige for more than 20 years, so I should be so calm.

Since ascension to the throne, Guochao has not only eliminated many bad policies of the court, but also greatly improved the comprehensive strength of Guochao.

It is just to change and implement a court meeting model.

"Your Majesty is coming..."

Before entering the Hall of Qinzheng, Wang Zhongzheng let out a roar of excitement, which made Zhao Xi, who was a little dazed, quickly gather up his messy thoughts.

Walking towards the top of the steps very casually and freehand...~
When Qinzheng Hall was first built, Zhao Xi designed it for such a grand meeting.

The first row of His Majesty's steps, the middle seat is vacant... because Fu Bi needs to preside over the court meeting.On the left and right are Han Qi and Wen Yanbo, and then Han Jiang, Zhang Fangping, Wang Anshi, Chen Shengzhi, Sima Guang, and Lu Gongbi lined up on both sides.

There is no ranking in the cabinet, but the position in the Qinzhengdian Dachaohui is fixed.There is a seat sign, and each corresponding seat sign enters the seat.

Seat sign, during the great court meeting, only the cabinet and the government council have seat signs, while political participation is marked according to the regions and functions of the government offices, prefectures, counties, etc.

Seat...~ This point is much loved by courtiers.

To be honest, it is really embarrassing for the courtiers to stand like this for several hours at a time.What's more, the grand dynasty set by the government will last for five or seven days. If it is really hard to stand for so many days, who can bear it?
Besides, the court meeting in the previous dynasty originally had futons.Going forward, in addition to the futons where the ministers sit on their knees, low tables will be set up during court meetings.

After Taizu established the court, he removed the futon and banned the form of officials and workers sitting at the court meeting.

But this time, Zhao Xi created a new court meeting model, and once again allowed courtiers to sit down, this is one of the reasons for reducing resistance.

The key point is that there is a trend of thinking about ancient etiquette among the courtiers, which also allows Zhao Xi's court meeting model to pass smoothly.

Of course, the main reason is that change has become the norm in today's state, gradually allowing courtiers to accept changes in all aspects of the state.

Zhao Xi looked at the square platform on the left side of His Majesty's steps...~ It was specially set up for the chief minister of the cabinet who presides over the court meeting.

He nodded to Fu Bi, then raised his hand: "Give me a seat!"

His voice was not loud, but the establishment of the echo wall in Qinzheng Hall allowed his voice to reach any corner.

"Now begins the first agenda of the Great Court Conference. I, Fu Bi, will report to His Majesty the emperor on behalf of the cabinet ministers the government affairs of the Song Dynasty and the 13 years of government affairs..."

Whether this process is smooth or not, that's the only way now.

Because the Ministry of Rites has nothing to refer to, no one dares to talk too much about it, basically what the officials say is what they say.

Then, Fu Bi started a statement similar to a work report.

The work reports in ancient and modern times are the same, basically counting the results in detail.In view of this being the first such grand court meeting, when the cabinet drafted this work report, it almost started from the official ruling...~This is the node where the will of the official family can be reflected in the court.

In the past 13 years, the achievements of Guochao are really huge.This is not pompous.

In terms of national defense and military affairs, in the second year of Zhenghe, because Dali borrowed the late emperor's death and the country kept the system, the Gao family in Dali was in civil strife and deliberately got involved in the mining city.Guochao sent troops to Dali to bring order out of chaos, and once again made great strides in southern Xinjiang, making the southern border of Guochao peaceful for at least 50 years.

In the ninth year of Zhenghe, Xixia and Beiliao plotted the secret recipe of Guochao's firearms. The two sides combined hundreds of thousands of troops to break Yanmen and enter Daizhou.

In this battle, the demeanor of the imperial army was played, making the barbarians of Liao and Xia dare not look south.

Hehuang opened the border, starting from the occupation of Gaolan, advancing step by step, taking Lanzhou, and attacking Kemiaochuan City, resulting in the attachment of many tribes in Tubo and Shatuo.The opening of Bianhehuang and the opening of commercial routes in the Western Regions were also basically realized.

Since Zhenghe, Guochao has made great achievements in national defense and military affairs, and has opened up thousands of miles of land for Guochao.

The so-called political ideology should have come first, but unfortunately, there is no such term in this era, and Zhao Xi couldn't find anything to elaborate on it, so he omitted it.

It is wrong to say that there is no belief in this era. They believe in their ancestors, and their belief in their ancestors has continued to future generations and is deeply rooted.

If we say that there is faith in this era, we cannot find a systematic and theoretical belief.

Zhao Xi didn't think about creating a charter of faith, it was out of date, and he couldn't play with it.

Next is the report on education.According to Chen Gong's intention, this point should be reported first, but Zhao Xi insisted, and finally the cabinet compromised.

Then...~ Fu Bi spent a lot of time in this regard.

Starting from the first year of Zhenghe, he has counted the measures and achievements of the country's prosperity in these years.

From the jinshi and ranks of the university competitions over the years, to the role of movable type printing in preaching culture, from the increase of education in local prefectures, counties, and counties, to the construction of the National Tribute Academy, from the enlightenment of young children to the literacy of soldiers, everything that follows Fu Bi is not bothered to state anything related to enlightenment.

Even Xixia and Northern Liao sang the poems of the country and dynasty as a statement.

In this page, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong, Su Shi, Sima Guang, Su Xun, Su Zhe, Zhang Zai, Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Yi, Cheng Hao, Shao Yong, etc., all the schools and scholars who are famous in the country, all the scholars in the literary world Fu Bi did not hesitate to praise those who were famous.

Zhao Xi found that when Fu Bi was narrating this chapter, the Hall of Qinzheng was the quietest, and people were most focused.

To be honest, Zhao Xi thought it was a bit of a joke for Taizu to increase the hat wings, and he had no intention of changing the official hat.

However, because the current court will change, the courtiers are all sitting next to each other, and they must be prevented from whispering.

Therefore, the supervisory yamen introduced measures for bad records of the court meeting, and the inspectors participated in the court meeting at a ratio of [-]%, randomly seated among the courtiers.

And when Fu Bi reported the length of Song Wenhua, it was the only one that did not need the supervision of a censor.

Wen...~Wu...~If you want to be truly equal in the country, you have a long way to go!

Then, Fu Bi began to report on the development of the industry.In fact, this piece should be called economic development.Whatever it is, it doesn't matter what you call it, the key is that Zhao Xi wants to convey a concept...~Industrial development has a great weight in his governance.

The content of this section is basically a summary of Workshop City, State-run Temple and Shiyi Temple.

At this point, let’s start from the workshop of the old guard camp, and then expand the discussion.

Again, the appeal of this part is just as strong.After all, it involves interests and achievements.

Interests, every official present here is all mixed with Guochao's industrial workshops.From the earliest Guangnan Manganese Mine, Dali Mining City, to the Huaizhou Carboniferous Mine, to the cement, horse-drawn carriages, wool, etc. in the workshop city, and then to the purchase of new products in the workshop city...~It's all money!

Political achievements, the official's five-year plan, starting from the summoning of the chief officials of the imperial court, all the ministers and workers will know that industrial development will become one of the contents of the political performance evaluation, and it will still be a very important part of the weight.

Therefore, this part of the attention is also very high.

Zhao Xi's mind was not on Fu Bi's work report, not only that he had already reviewed that report, but mainly because the format made him a little dazed...it was too familiar.

For Zhao Xi's change in the Dachaohui, the change in the model is not the main thing.In Zhao Xi's mind, this kind of communication, deliberation and discussion before the court meeting is the most important.

Doing so can ensure that there will be no more noisy phenomena in court meetings.

Communication is placed before discussion...~ This is Zhao Xi's guidance on the court meeting, government discussions and cabinet discussions.

Fu Bi is still elaborating, from achievements to prospects, which is the five-year plan proposed by Zhao Xi.

As a result of the cabinet's final discussion, the five-year plan was not separately issued as an edict, but read out in the work report.

It's a bit nondescript. The original five-year plan finally became a model for the annual summary and the next year's work plan.

After all, it was the first push, and Zhao Xi didn't really pursue perfection.Some things, as long as there is a beginning, there will always be a specific trend to gradually improve.

Zhao Xi has been paying attention to the performance of the servants below.Was there any confusion that I thought there would be, even those eye-catching inspectors were also attracted by Fu Bi's work report, just like listening to everyone's lectures, listening quietly.

Perhaps this method makes people feel novel, but I have to admit that the spirit of seeking knowledge of the officials of the Song Dynasty.

This kind of work report, for Zhao Xi of later generations, apart from nostalgia, there is also a trance, absolutely no intention of listening attentively.

For nearly an hour, Zhao Xi wanted to sip some tea to moisten his throat, but Fu Bi's tone remained the same, neither rush nor rash, neither high nor low.

However, Zhao Xi could feel the change in Fu Bi's mood. Every time he talked about Guochao's current achievements, Fu Bi could not restrain his excitement. When looking forward to the future, he could feel his confidence in his tone.

Only words with emotions can truly fully express their deep meaning.

Even the cabinet ministers sitting in the front row, who are already familiar with the work report, were also driven by Fu Bi's emotions, lamenting the great changes in the country since the Zhenghe years.

In terms of taxes, in the 13th year of Zhenghe, the Gongfangcheng family alone was comparable to the tax revenue of Kaifeng government in the first year of Zhenghe.

In addition, the country now only supports more than 20 new troops, and the money and food left over from military expenditures are enough to cover the government and the country's tax revenue in the first year.

Since the year of Zhenghe, although there have been small-scale disasters, because Annan and many small countries in the south, under the guidance of the market grain trade, have devoted all their efforts to planting grain and continuously supplying grain for the Great Song Dynasty. There was a big incident of refugees and victims, and there was no measure to turn the people into Xiangjun.

Changping warehouse, Huimin warehouse, since Zhenghe year, there is an operation of emptying old grain every year.

Looking at Zhenghe Nian, it is also obvious to the courtiers that the current Song Dynasty has become more and more tough in foreign affairs.

The grass bones of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and the capture of the Xixia Army, have never appeared since Zhenghe.

On the border, the most frequent merchants are merchants who come and go with Liaoxia and Song Dynasty.

The prefectures and counties on the frontier, which were originally infested, were filled with escapees from Northern Liao to the south and Xixia to the east.

This is the real effect of the way of the sage king!

Fu Bi read out while controlling his emotions, he was excited.When he was drafting the work report, this feeling was not obvious. When he read it out, the results that lifted his spirit almost made him unable to control his emotions.

If he wasn't reading it, he would have taken the courtiers to congratulate the officials sincerely!
Da Song is really going to be strong.From the data in this report, Fu Bi felt strong from the bottom of his heart.

Looking forward to the future, it is being read out in accordance with the items listed in the official five-year plan.During the original discussion, the cabinet ministers were slightly disapproving.

When Fu Bi read the report throughout, he found that this was consistent throughout.

Past achievements are the foundation of the future.

Only such a specific report can clearly let the courtiers understand the current state and the will to manage and govern.

Zhao Xi seemed to be infected at this time too, infected by the unity of purpose in the Hall of Qinzheng.

People are like this, even if they are usually foolish, they will consciously adjust their behavior in a solemn environment.

That's how it is today.Even Zhao Xi, who was already used to making reports, was infected by the atmosphere in the Hall of Qinzheng, and gradually put himself into it, feeling the confidence of the entire courtiers in the future with his heart.
