Chapter 200 The Old School's Counterattack
Zhao Ning was low-key when he came out, and he was low-key when he returned.
At this time, all the cups that could be smashed were smashed in the political hall.
In order to promote harmony in the atmosphere, Zhao Ding ordered all the chairs to be moved out. Everyone should stand and discuss matters.
After all, chairs are for sitting on, not for greeting each other.
If you don't want to sit down, move out.
He also ordered people to sweep away all the broken cups, then closed the door of the political hall and continued the discussion.
On one side, the chief secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was writing the minutes of the proceedings.
The hall fell into a dead silence.
Suddenly, Li Chunyou, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, slammed the table angrily and shouted: "Ms. Xu! Don't evade the important! Is the problem now about those officials going to the Agricultural Affairs Department to cause trouble? Chen Dong, who is now the Agricultural Affairs Department, proposed a new policy
Article, do you know what the consequences will be once this new policy article is implemented!"
As we all know, Li Chunyou's backer is Cai Mao, the minister Zuocheng.
The creation of Shangshu is one of the configurations of the Prime Minister of the East Prefecture.
The right servant of Zhongshu and Shangshu Youpushe is the right prime minister and the prime minister.
The minister and minister Zuopushe was the left prime minister and deputy prime minister.
Shangshu Zuocheng, deputy prime minister, mainly responsible for execution, known as consul.
Shangshu Youcheng, the deputy prime minister, is also the executive, and is known as the consul.
This was the configuration after the restructuring by Yuanfeng, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, which restored the real power of the three provinces and six ministries. Shangshu Youpushe was originally the top leader of Shangshu Province.
The Shangshu Province is responsible for the execution of the six ministries. The Zhongshu Province assists the emperor in issuing decrees, and the subordinate provinces have the right to reject them.
This is the power relationship between the three provinces.
In order to better implement the imperial policies, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty asked the minister of Zhongshu Province to concurrently serve as the right pusher of Shangshu Province, and the minister under his subordinates also served as the left pusher of Shangshu Province.
In other words, the top leader of the Shangshu Province is split into two, and the top leader of the Zhongshu Province and the top leader of the Menxia Province serve as concurrent posts.
In this way, the prime minister of Zhongshu Province can issue decrees and manage the execution of the six ministries.
The Zuo Cheng and You Cheng of Shangshu assist the left and right prime ministers in governing.
Also headed by the Right Prime Minister.
This is the layout of the court after the restructuring of Emperor Shenzong Yuanfeng of the Song Dynasty.
Shenzong hoped to improve administrative efficiency through such restructuring, but in fact the effect was not good.
Because the civil service is becoming more and more bloated and overstaffed, it cannot be achieved by changing the official system.
Cai Mao, the minister Zuocheng, is not someone to be trifled with. His father is Cai Que, who was a servant during the Zhezong period of the Song Dynasty. He was also the left prime minister and deputy prime minister.
(In the Song Dynasty, the left prime minister was the deputy prime minister and the right prime minister was the prime minister)
And his father-in-law is even more awesome, Feng Jing!
Feng Jing was the number one scholar during the Renzong period of Song Dynasty, and was the last number one scholar in the Song Dynasty who passed the Three Yuan Dynasty.
What is Sanyuan Jiedi?
Ranked first in all provincial examinations, general examinations, and palace examinations.
Feng Jing not only served as the Councilor for Political Affairs, that is, he is now the minister of the family, Zuo Xiang, but also served as the Councilor for the Privy Council, that is, Zhang Jun's position, the top leader of the Privy Council.
There are disciples all over the world.
More importantly, Feng Jing was also demoted, and he was demoted because he opposed Wang Anshi's reform.
Cai Mao is undoubtedly covered with several layers of halo in the political arena.
The Cai family and the Feng family behind them are both big families with big businesses and deep roots.
Li Chunyou was a member of Cai Mao, and Cai Mao was the son-in-law of Feng Jing of the old school.
The struggle between the old and new factions in Wang Anshi's reform did not end until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty. It did not end completely until Zhao Gou reestablished the Southern Song Dynasty.
Cai Mao is a typical old party member. When it comes to reform, the old party members no longer think about the rationality of the reform, but that as long as it is a reform, it is wrong.
This is just like debating various issues online in the 21st century. Everyone is not discussing the issue itself, but an emotional confrontation.
Su Shi, a centrist, thought Wang Anshi was too hasty and thought Sima Guang was too conservative and pedantic, so he did not please both sides.
A truly sober person cannot speak. If he speaks, the "Wutai Poetry Case" will occur.
Therefore, the "Gyeonggi Road New Deal Regulations" that Chen Dong is working on now, in the eyes of the old school, is just a resurgence of Wang Anshi's new law, and adding fuel and firewood, trying to rekindle the flame of the new law.
Although the old faction lost power during the Zhezong period of the Song Dynasty and was beaten into disgrace during the Cai Jing period, some people just hid in the cracks of the court, waiting for opportunities.
The opportunist Cai Jing, who was targeting Wang Anshi's successor, left office, and the old party had an opportunity.
The Song Dynasty entered the first year of Jingkang, the Jin army moved south, and the court entered into mysterious operations.
For example, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan did not want to retreat from the enemy, but summoned ministers to invite Wang Anshi out of the Ancestral Temple.
The main reason for the situation of Jin people going south is attributed to Wang Anshi, and Wang Anshi's reforms were blamed for making the Song Dynasty become like this.
Later, when Zhao Gou established the Southern Song Dynasty, he wanted to blame Wang Anshi as the main reason for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty and demote Wang Anshi as an eternal traitor.
But in fact, without Wang Anshi, the Song Dynasty's finances would have collapsed long ago.
Shenzong was even less able to carry out Yuanfeng's restructuring, and the essence of Yuanfeng's restructuring was to strengthen the imperial power and weaken the power of the prime minister. For example, by promoting Shangshu Zuocheng as deputy prime minister, the emperor could directly bypass the prime minister and let Shangshu Zuocheng execute the decrees.
Strengthening the imperial power was of course an act to offend the scholar-bureaucrats, and it was mostly a matter of interest for the scholar-bureaucrats in the world to criticize Wang Anshi.
Returning to the debate in the Zhengshi Hall, the governors of the Song Dynasty, as well as ministers and senior officials from various ministries were present. The direction of the discussion seemed to have changed to the debate over the reform of the year.
Xu Han, the Right Prime Minister of Shangshu, said: "Don't take the discussion astray. Now we are discussing the issue of officials besieging the Agricultural Affairs Department. Who instigated this matter?"
Li Chunyou said: "Why did those officials go to see Chen Dong? Because Chen Dong's new policies are harmful to the country! This is someone using the name of reform to form a party for personal gain. Isn't this Cai Jing back then! Cai Jing was personally dismissed by the emperor.
!Have you all forgotten?”
This big hat was put on, and the surroundings fell into silence.
Zhao Ding said: "Xu Xianggong is right, why are there so many officials besieging the Agricultural Affairs Bureau? This is the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, a state of etiquette. There are rules and regulations in the court, and dozens of officials besiege the Agricultural Affairs Bureau."
How dignified is the Chief Secretary!"
Cai Mao said: "Master, shouldn't we reflect on why dozens of officials went to besiege it? This is a big matter. If someone insists on going his own way and causes a greater chaos, how will it end?"
Cai Mao glanced at the crowd again and said: "Are the military rations and military pay on the front line ready? What if the gold thieves send troops at this time?"
fell into silence again.
"How dignified is it that Gao Qiu beat up a court official in front of the Agricultural Affairs Department? If the imperial code is corrupted, how can we ensure the stability of people's hearts? If people's hearts are unstable, how can we fight against the gold thieves together?"
Sharp questions were raised one after another, and various forces got involved on the grounds of the new agricultural regulations of the Department of Agriculture.
Obviously, the opponents have unanimously formed a huge force, and they are like a mountain lying in front of them.
This is just the capital, what kind of reaction will it cause in the land of Sifu?
At this moment, the resistance to reform really became apparent.
At this time, Zhao Ning had arrived at the palace.
