Zhao Bing began to plan the future court pattern and prepare for the next step of reform. The transfer of Xie Fangde back to Beijing was also one of the steps. He needed officials who were proficient in local government affairs to enrich the court. Xie Fangde was a Jinshi and had served as a Lang official in the Ministry of Personnel for many years. After occupying Jiangnan by the Mongolian Yuan, he went to Qiongzhou to join the court, which was obviously a contribution to the Song Dynasty.

In terms of personal character, Xie Fangde was morally ill-fated. He was ordered to preside over the anti-Yuan struggle of the Guangxi civil army and presided over the government affairs of Huguang for many years. His achievements were obvious to all. He not only supported the Northern Expedition of the Huguang Division, but also provided money and food for the battles in eastern Sichuan and Yunnan, showing his ability to rule. Therefore, Zhao Bing intends to transfer him to Beijing and replace Ma Tingluan, who was preparing to retire, to preside over the Ministry of Personnel.

Wang Yinglin also knew about this, so he couldn't help but talk to Xie Fangde about the arrangements after returning to the capital, and also talked about the emperor's intention to restore the three provinces and reconstruct the court system. He also knew that this matter was very involved, but it was not a bad thing for the literati and official group. This could further strengthen their voice in the court and offset the newly-rise Wuxun Group.

But Wang Yinglin also understood that it would be impossible to convince Your Majesty to make up his mind and change the existing system by himself. In previous conversations, he had discovered His Majesty's concerns and hesitations, which would involve the relationship between the prime minister's power and the imperial power. The key issue was that Your Majesty was worried that his power would be weakened and he would lose the ability to control the government.

Xie Fangde was also proud of his return to Beijing, and he joined the ranks of court officials and wanted to make achievements. Of course, he was also familiar with the information revealed by Wang Yinglin, and advised His Majesty to hope to promote the restoration of the three provinces. But he also knew that His Majesty was not an unreasonable person, but he still had to make the truth with all his heart and soul. He told him that this matter was a good move for the country and the people, and he would definitely adopt it, but how could he say that he still had to talk about skills.

In fact, the days on the boat are very lonely. Although Zhao Bing enjoys life on the boat very much, it is inevitable that he is bored. After all, in his previous life, he could still understand the world from the Internet, and when he gets off the boat, the channels for getting news are cut off. He has no appreciation for singing and dancing, and he is good at reciting poems and essays, so he is sometimes very bored.

Fortunately, the news of his journey back to Beijing has been informed that in order to facilitate the delivery of official documents, it was agreed to place all documents in the office on the way to facilitate the handover. Therefore, Zhao Bing also needs to review memorials every day, and sometimes exchanges opinions with Wang Yinglin. However, with more free time, he often chats with the two in the afternoon. They either cook tea, drink, laugh at the bookstore in the cabin, and discuss the world's affairs, but they feel that time is not so difficult to pass.

The autumn rains were continuous in the past two days, and there was no wind on the river. The boats were driven forward by the river, and the speed was not fast. In the imperial study, Zhao Bing and two great scholars sat around a few, cooking tea in a small furnace next to them, and several people were in a good mood. The three of them had their own thoughts, and the topic naturally guided the current recovery of the three provinces intentionally or unintentionally. Today Xie Fangde first told a few short stories of the previous dynasty:

One was that Emperor Muzong of Tang issued an edict to promote Liu Shijing, from the procuratorate of Dali Shaoqing, and the son-in-law Duwei to the Taipuqing. Wei Hongjing, the minister of the ministry, returned the emperor's edict, thinking that the promotion was unreasonable and refused to pass. The emperor personally issued an edict to them: "The reason for promoting Liu Shijing was because his father made merits in the border area. He had been in his original position for more than ten years, and he also married Princess Yun'an as his wife, so he was preparing to promote him and add some grace to him and his family." After hearing this explanation, Wei and Xue passed the edict.

Another is the story of Huangfu Li. The Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Revenue, was a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the minister of the Central Secretariat, Huangfu Li wanted to stabilize his position through some means. He submitted a memorial to the emperor to reduce the salary of internal and external officials to supplement other expenses of the country. The emperor agreed and issued an edict. However, the minister of the minister of the ministry urged You to think that this matter was inappropriate, so he directly returned the emperor's edict.

Another thing was the incident during Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang believed that General Li Sui was both capable and appointed him as the governor of Lingnan. After the emperor's appointment edict had been issued, Xiao Fang, the minister of the Ministry of Education, thought the appointment was inappropriate and suggested that the emperor cancel the appointment. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was enjoying the music at this time. After listening to Xiao Fang's reasons, he felt that the appointment was indeed inappropriate, so he asked an actor to ride a fast horse to recover the edict on the spot.

After telling these three short stories by Xie Fangde, when he was "sensitive", it was not difficult for Zhao Bing to think that the intention was to explain the benefits of the "three-provincial system", which could help the emperor check for omissions and avoid mistakes. It was also "very reasonable". Even if the emperor's decree was rejected, once it was explained clearly, it would be corrected and approved.

However, everyone has different perspectives on the matter. In Zhao Bing's view, these three stories can be clearly seen that after the emperor issued the imperial edict, the officials of the ministry all refuted. Either the emperor declared the reasons for the imperial edict, or the emperor's imperial edict was invalidated. It is not difficult to conclude that the emperor's behavior will be restricted by the ministry.

Thinking a little more, is it only Menxiaoshan who has this restrictive function? According to Zhao Bing's understanding, not only Menxiaoshan who has this restrictive function, but the Central Secretariat also has similar behaviors. He pondered for a moment: "It is recorded in the "Old Book of Tang" that when Empress Wu was in power, Liu Yizhi worked for the Central Secretariat and was the Minister of the Central Secretariat. Because he did not recognize the imperial edict issued by Empress Wu, he believed that the imperial edict had not been reviewed by the Central Secretariat and the Provincial Secretariat and did not belong to official documents. Empress Wu was furious and believed that Liu Yizhi had disobeyed her will and despised her imperial power, and even directly sentenced him to death. How should we think about this?"

"This..." Xie Fangde didn't expect that His Majesty had answered something irrelevant and did not follow his own ideas. Thinking about it, it was a plan written by the emperor with great effort. He was rejected by a small official at the school. It felt that it was definitely not good. He thought for a moment: "I thought it was not wrong to do things according to the rules of association and had nothing to do with the system. Therefore, Empress Wu took his anger and killed his ministers without hesitation. It was a fool."

"Mr. Dieshan thought that Empress Wu was stupid and then killed him. But once a powerful minister appeared in the court to take power, like a treacherous and slandered minister like Cai Jing in our court, his general leader and subordinates could refute the emperor's will at will. What would happen? Can the emperor let him do it?" Zhao Bing asked back.

"I think if a treacherous man takes power, the emperor can of course punish him, replace him, and use another wise minister..." Xie Fangde replied, but he also felt that his answer seemed pale and powerless and lack confidence.

This is also because he also experienced the darkest moments of the Song Dynasty, first Ding Dazhong, Jia Sidao, and then Chen Yizhong. They were also talented at the beginning, but they often began to appoint private individuals after usurping the throne, attacking dissidents, and then monopolizing the power and controlling the government. However, the emperor was powerless, and even the incident of Chen Yizhong abandoning the throne and "running" the throne, which almost ruined the Song Dynasty.

"What Your Majesty and the Lord are both right. Neither the king nor the ministers are missing. If one side is too strong, it will cause the court to be unbalanced and turmoil. Therefore, it is necessary to consider in detail how to do it. I think the emperor's power cannot be easily removed." When Wang Yinglin heard that this was about to be over, he could not continue. He quickly reconciled it and tried to divert this sensitive topic.

"I am not careful, Your Majesty will atone for his sins." Xie Fangde also hurriedly said. He did not expect that the little emperor would catch himself off guard with the way of "the way he treats him," and secretly said that he should be more cautious when speaking.

"The so-called truth is not clear, and we monarchs and ministers do not need to take so much care when speaking in private. If we follow my wishes, wouldn't it be boring and it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong. And I am not a sage, and I need the assistance of my ministers when I act. Otherwise, all the affairs of the world will belong to me, and I will not be able to solve them one by one if I am exhausted!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and said with a smile, pointing at the official document on the side of the case.

"Your Majesty said very well." Xie Fangde said, "The "Outsider's Left Right" says: The ruler of a man is abide by the law and is responsible for making achievements. He heard that there are officials who are in chaos but have people who are good, and he did not hear that there are officials who are in chaos but have officials who are in charge of the people who are in charge of the people. Therefore, the wise ruler of officials does not govern the people. The theory is based on the root of shaking wood and the net of lead. Therefore, the slutty man who has caught fire must not be ignored. For those who put out fire, the official is the use of a person, and the whip is used by others, and then he will be used by ten thousand men. This is the truth."

"Mr. Dieshan's words are true, I have a deep understanding. When I was in Qiongzhou, the land was narrow and the people were sparse, and I could still handle it. After recovering Jiangnan and taking over Lin'an, the business was complicated every day, and I was already poor enough to deal with it, and I had no time to have time to spare. However, this Northern Expedition was even more complicated. Although you were assisting me, you were overwhelmed and overwhelmed!" Zhao Bing shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He understood that the traditional Chinese political structure has three levels: monarch, minister, and people. Among them, the king represents the decision-making system. The minister, as the operator of the bureaucracy, represents the administrative system. The people represent the vast majority of people under rule and management. The relationship between these three is that the king manages the people through officials so that the entire social life can be effectively operated. Therefore, its administrative management structure is that the king manages the ministers and the ministers manages the people.

Once this structure is broken and the emperor is directly in charge of civil affairs, it is impossible. While Zhao Bing strengthens the imperial power, he must take over many affairs. Then the middle class must also have his consent to execute everything, which puts a heavy burden on the emperor. If he does not have a good physique and a clear mind, it will be difficult to do it. In the long run, he will feel as tired as Yongzheng on the case.

"Your Majesty's hard work has been difficult in the past, but I am deeply moved by this Northern Expedition." Wang Yinglin saw that His Majesty was not angry about it, and he also said with a sigh of relief, "During the Northern Expedition, Your Majesty not only has to plan and plan the war, but also has to deal with official documents at all times. He is not allowed to go to bed late at night. In an emergency, it is even rare to have a moment of rest. I used to be diligent in official work, but now I am ashamed of it!"
