I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 620 The Beginning of a Great Change

Workshop City suggested to the Ministry of Industry to sign a letter of responsibility with the imperial court, and specify the tasks of various indicators...～
Zhao Xi was also very helpless when he heard the news.

However, the Department of the Imperial City inquired about the departments that were interested in signing the letter of responsibility: Workshop City, Jiangwu Hall, State-run Temple, Shiyi Temple, Supervision Yamen... which made Zhao Xi helpless.

Is it that stubborn?

Zhao Xi thought that under voluntary conditions, the country should have officials who dared to take the lead, but it turned out...~ It was these newly established departments that really took the lead.

"Officials, Privy Councilor Lu requested to sign a letter of responsibility with the imperial court. Elder Wen Ge thought that this year was the beginning of the military service law, and many situations were difficult to judge, so he blocked the request of Privy Councilor Lu. Fellow members of the Privy Council also suggest to wait and see..."

During the Great Court Meeting, the Imperial City Division was very busy, and in the past few days, they have even sent extra staff to sign the letter of responsibility.

"Old Wang Ge and Lu Yizheng agreed on the signing of the letter of responsibility at Shiyi Temple. The supervisory office is unified from top to bottom, and there is no objection."

Alas... the so-called obedience to the disabled probably refers to the current courtiers!Concepts are really not something that can be changed simply by boasting one time.

Zhao Xi still misjudged the rigidity of the ministers' thinking in the court, and also overestimated the incentive effect of the court on the ministers.

"How is the banquet in Bianliang?"

The courtiers are all veterans, and Zhao Xi needs to know how the courtiers react to the praise of the Great Court Meeting.

"Back to the official's house, the banquet in Bianliang was quite lively on the day of the Great Court Meeting. Everywhere in the banquet on that day was praising the prosperity of the country..."

Strong?maybe!Zhao Xi really doesn't understand the ministers and workers of the Guochao. Since he knows that reforms will make the Guochao strong, why not change his mind and make himself a pioneer in this era of change, instead of waiting to enjoy it.

"How about the cabinet ministers?"

"Back to the official's house, the cabinet ministers basically thanked the guests behind closed doors and refused to see the visitors. Even Wang Gelao and Lu Yizheng signed a letter of responsibility for the Shiyi Temple, which was negotiated in the household department group and did not communicate in private."

Later generations have a saying called subjective initiative.Zhao Xi has always been guiding, hoping that the ministers can exert their so-called subjective initiative.

As a result, this time it was still the case.From the five-year plan to the signing of the letter of responsibility, the courtiers have never seen too much initiative.

Thinking about the changes in the country and court over the years, I have always planned it myself, and then pushed the court forward, not with the various affairs of the country and court.These are two concepts.

Zhao Xi has been guiding, and it has indeed changed, but the results are really shabby.

The courtiers of the Song Dynasty were used to having fun, used to the so-called vertical arch and ruled, and used to doing nothing.This is no longer a matter of boiling frogs in warm water. It is a matter of ideology, or the strength of habits.

Zhao Xi believes that he has been in power for 13 years and has not stopped reforming, so he should be able to let courtiers understand his ruling philosophy.However, the inertia of lazy administration and slack administration is deeply rooted in the hearts of today's courtiers.

A hundred years have passed like this, not to mention the fact that there is still a record of great victories in foreign wars.Nowadays, all affairs of the country and the court are flourishing, so why should there be more troubles?I am afraid that there are not a few cabinet ministers who hold such views.

Zhao Xi sometimes thinks of the original Wang Anshi reform. From another perspective, the so-called conservatives are not necessarily all because of the loss of interests, but partly because they don't like change and don't want to change.

The first day of the Great Court Meeting ended, and the outstanding achievements of the Dynasty made the Goulan restaurant in Bianliang overcrowded, and there were hymns about the prosperity of the Dynasty everywhere. Let them be very satisfied, satisfied to the point where they don't need to be aggressive.

In fact, Zhao Xi has never been in favor of using this word to describe Guochao, or this nation, for the idea of ​​small peasants, but the facts made him have to admit... this thing is really stubborn.

The mechanism of the imperial court is flawed, and a new mechanism can be established.The shortcomings of the imperial court's system can change the new system.But the courtiers' minds are corrupt and they want to change, which is not as easy as it sounds.At the very least, it is impossible for Zhao Xi to take any measures for the harvest of this great court meeting.

On the last day's agenda, the courtiers were very enthusiastic, even the cabinet ministers were beaming.In the entire Palace of Qinzheng, only Zhao Xi looked helpless... Zhao Xi was lonely.

To be honest, when such a situation happened, Zhao Xi was sure that very few officials in the entire kingdom could realize the root of this problem.Maybe it is too metaphysical, too abstract, maybe the country has really made great progress, and it is indeed strong, so that the ministers can no longer see the shortcomings that still exist in the court.

"Old Fuge, I'm going to give rotation training to the government of the country..."

The Great Court Meeting has come to an end, in the joy of the courtiers, but in the frustration of Zhao Xi.Zhao Xi called Fu Bi to play the right.

To a certain extent, Zhao Xi still had a high opinion of Fu Bi, and always believed that Fu Bi was a good looker.Years of cooperation between the monarch and his ministers also made Zhao Xi relatively familiar with Fu Bi.Only Fu Bi got it right.

"Officials, I don't know what the officials focus on in rotation training and discussing politics?"

The training of new officials in the lecture hall is a long-established topic, and this is discussed through the cabinet.But now during his term of office, he is training and discussing politics in rotation without promotion, which really makes Fu Bi a little confused.

"Old Fu Ge, I want to know, what does Ge Lao think about the current government affairs? It's just a small talk."

I still remember the scene 20 years ago, when Pang Ji told Zhao Xi: Just chat.Now it is also a condition for pre-chat...
"Officials, forgive me for being dull. In the eyes of veterans, the current state of the country can be described as changing with each passing day. Whether it is military equipment, taxation, education, people's livelihood, etc., it can be said that it is not the same as when the first emperor was in the same breath."

"Veteran is very pleased that it is just around the corner to see ZTE in the Song Dynasty in his lifetime. Officials, in terms of the current situation of the country, veterans would not have even dared to think about it 20 years ago."

Fu Bi did not specifically talk about the rise of the new army, did not mention the de facto abolition of civil service, did not compare the problems that have been solved by the three redundancy, and did not compare the soaring tax revenue.It's just pure emotion, but it expresses his satisfaction with the current state very aptly.

"So, what is the reason why the country has changed today?"

"Going back to the official's house is all the reason for the official's New Deal!"

"Ge Lao, although you are complimenting me, it is true in fact. Except for some new laws of Wang Ge Lao, the reason why the country has achieved today's achievements is indeed from me."

"I'm not boasting, but I feel unsatisfactory. Going back to some previous statements, Guochao is not the Great Song Dynasty of me, Zhao Xi, but the Great Song Dynasty of the entire court, and the Great Song Dynasty of thousands of people of the Great Song Dynasty. I am The whole body is made of iron, how many nails can you drive?"

"Ge Lao, looking at the achievements of the country over the years, how many of the courtiers took the initiative to make changes? No! They all came out of the Palace of Qinzheng, and then after repeated discussions from top to bottom. Ge Lao, this is not normal, Or it’s not the normal state of a dynasty.”

"Back when various schools of thought debated scriptures, I once mentioned a saying: a hundred schools of thought contend, and a hundred flowers bloom. In fact, I hope this saying can appear in governance, governance, and governance. Obedience, I don't deny the meaning of ministers and workers obeying the king, However, blindly complying with the implementation is itself a kind of rigidity."

"The country is thousands of miles north and south, and thousands of miles east and west. How can the prefectures and counties be the same? The implementation of the new policies of the imperial court cannot be generalized in all places. This requires the initiative of the ministers and workers. But what is the result? The old cabinet, maybe the cabinet Thinking that the letter of responsibility is a task indicator, I am worried that because of the letter of responsibility, it will cause confusion in the implementation of the New Deal by local states and counties."

"In fact, the reason why I introduced the letter of responsibility system is to urge local officials to take the initiative, so that the entire country will prosper and change with each passing day, not just the court. What is the result? Mr. Ge, I think that the reason for such a situation The essence of the situation is that the courtiers are rigid in their thinking, stubborn in their minds, unwilling to make progress at the root, lazy in government and inactive in government, weak in family and country, serious in their own ways, and hedonism prevails."

"That's why, I want to carry out rotation training for the government of the country, try to develop the thinking of the ministers and workers who discuss the government as much as possible, and make a real big change in the country... because they are the backbone of the country."

How long?How long has it been since officials have made such long speeches?For a long time, even Fu Bi was speculating about the official's intentions.At this time, Fu Bi really got the will of the officials from the words of the officials.

Fu Bi didn't know whether there was rigidity in thinking, because he was also a courtier of the Song Dynasty who was led by inertia. Except for Wang Anshi who dared to call out his ancestors' incompetence, most courtiers were led by inertia.He just had doubts about the practice that could be changed by rotation training in the martial arts hall.

In addition, in the past few days, Fu Bi has calmed down and discussed the issue of the letter of responsibility with the cabinet members. It seems that he also feels that the signing of the letter of responsibility is a bit inappropriate.

Wang Jiefu's point of view may be right: Although the letter of responsibility is all-encompassing, the officials did not specify any of them.Whether it can be completed, or to complete those project indicators, including determining the indicators, to what extent, etc., is not in the imperial court, but in the state capital and government offices.This is just a guiding measure, not mandatory, but on a voluntary basis.The courtiers did not sign the letter of responsibility, either they did not take responsibility or they were content with the status quo.

Combined with the words of the official... Maybe I really misunderstood, or maybe there is a so-called ideological problem.The point is, can rotation training in the martial arts hall change these?
"Officials, veterans don't object to rotation training and discussing politics, or because they don't know the teachings of the martial arts hall, they dare not make rash comments. However, if the courtiers are true to what the officials say, they have rigid thinking, dare not take responsibility, and are lazy in politics. Politics, not enterprising, self-styled, serious about pleasure. Can the rotation training in the martial arts hall be changed?"

"Administration is the backbone of the country, and the veteran agrees. No matter what kind of strategy the court wants to implement in the country, it must be able to truly understand the government. The veteran thinks, can the cabinet be familiar with the teaching system of the martial arts hall, so as to have a good understanding of the government Rotation training has a correct evaluation?"

From the old guard battalion, whether it was the guard battalion or the lecture hall, they had always been independent from the court hall.Fu Bi, including the cabinet and courtiers, can only feel the results of the teaching of the martial arts hall. The new army, inspectors, former ministers of the hidden residence, workshop city, etc., have never had a deep understanding of the military affairs of the martial arts hall. doctrine.

Since the officials intend to train and discuss politics in rotation, it means that the officials are going to let go of the teaching system of the martial arts hall.

After Fu Bi finished speaking, he clearly felt that the officials were a little dazed.He thought the officials were hesitant, but he didn't expect Zhao Xi to be stunned.

Self-righteousness kills people!In Zhao Xi's mind, he always thought that the theory of the Jiangwu Hall, that is, the old guard battalion, was well known in the court.Hearing what Fu Bi said, he remembered that courtiers have always avoided everything in the martial arts hall, and have always regarded it as the official family, or it is exclusive to the royal family.

This is a big misunderstanding.

"Elder Ge thinks it's better to let Mr. Ouyang give lectures or open the martial arts hall?"

"Officials, the veteran thinks that if Mr. Ouyang gives lectures, it will inevitably lead to a situation similar to the debate of academic schools. The veteran thinks that it is good to open up the teaching system of the martial arts hall."

system?Maybe.It was just a set of theories formed by Zhao Xi based on some of the knowledge in his own impression, or more appropriately, on the basis of reality, mainly based on dialectics and loyalty education.

The so-called theoretical system should be said to be a selective patchwork of many contents in Zhao Xi's memory.For example, it expounds the argument of the development and change of things in dialectics.For example, it expounds the dialectical relationship between family, country and world.From borrowing a few words from the ancient sages to the opinions of great figures and celebrities in various periods of later generations.Can form a seemingly systematic academic.

In any case, the theory of talking about Wutang officials still caused considerable repercussions in the cabinet.The eloquent hundreds of thousands of words were written by Zhao Xi from the beginning of the preparation of the guard camp... or it is not necessary to recite it.Of course, there is Zhao Xi's painstaking effort in this, after all, he needs to integrate with the current academic level.It's tough.

To say that the busiest one should be Ouyang Xiu, who was deeply impressed by this set of official theories. Even Zhang Dun and Su Zhe were invited by cabinet ministers to explain the official theories from time to time.

At the same time, former ministers such as Lu Gongzhu, Han Zhen, and Su Song had to sort out the contents of their education by officials over the years, so as to prepare for discussion with cabinet ministers.

A theory that has been verified by history is difficult to question in terms of correctness. The difference is that compared with the current era, this set of theories lacks a gradual process in the middle.However, the Great Song Dynasty was originally an era in which new and old academic theories alternated, an era of prosperous culture, and an era in which a hundred flowers bloomed and a hundred schools of thought contended.As the elite of this era, the Song cabinet focused on metaphysics. To a certain extent, it made up for the disconnected and imperfect links with its own wisdom.

In repeated discussions, in mutual communication and verification, Zhao Xi's set is based on the education of later generations.Plausible theory, accepted among cabinet ministers.

This is the beginning of the big change...
