Zhao Xi's whole idea, he couldn't figure out the origin, whether it was the era he lived in or the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years later.
Both are, and neither is. Zhao Xi is more inclined to adapt to this era and develop a new structure.
Zhao Xi does not belong to this era, but he is no longer a person of the original era. Perhaps it is determined by his status here. He does not want to admit that he has been mixed up with the light, but in fact, he still adapts to it.
of this era.
Imperial power and centralization are core issues that Zhao Xi cannot avoid.
Zhao Xi has the ability to make the dynasty's system more reasonable, and he can formulate a system that prevents his descendants from becoming ignorant. However, he has never been willing to abandon the supreme imperial power. Therefore, in the entire grand plan, he abandoned the content of decentralization of powers, and instead
Strengthened the concentration of imperial power.
Of course, to a certain extent, cabinet members have also made progress in limiting imperial power in the entire system. However, from the perspective of later generations, Zhao Xi's progress is almost nonexistent, and it is still the essence of the supremacy of imperial power.
In the conception of the entire framework, Zhao Xi deliberately omitted the details of checks and balances between monarch and ministers, leaving room for his descendants and future ministers.
If the king is wise, he can use the system to centralize power. If the king is mediocre and his ministers are strong, the ministers can use the system to limit the monarch's power.
Maybe this is the best way...~ Zhao Xi thought to comfort himself.
In fact, Zhao Xi also knows that it is not the system that really plays a decisive role, but the people who implement the system.
Just like today, when the system cannot adapt to the actual situation, or the system leads to decline, even the ancestral system can be changed, unless the system can always promote development...~
Looking at the social systems of later generations, Zhao Xi felt that there were some castles in the air and no ground for survival.
Therefore, he took only half a step forward and created a system that seemed to be very practical for today.
The Eternal Foundation is a false proposition. Zhao Xi knows that especially this kind of system where imperial power is supreme will eventually be replaced.
From the standpoint of the Zhao royal family, all he can do is to delay the change of dynasty as much as possible.
As for the original situation of being overthrown by aliens decades later, it would never happen. Because of him!
Zhao Xi always insists on finding a new way to do things, or in other words, he must find a new way.
Living in the royal family, Zhao Xi could not fully understand the current situation of this era. He only knew that Zhao Song's world began to decline from this time period.
There is a saying in later generations called the wheel of history, which means that the times have their own inevitable development, just like a rolling wheel. And Zhao Xi chose to give this wheel a little external force in a suitable way.
This was his carefully considered choice.
The so-called reform is the re-division of interests. From the beginning, Zhao Xi did not engage in drastic measures to cut through obstacles and touch the existing interest pattern.
Instead, he chose to make another cake, using the profit-seeking human nature to attract people to change subtly. When this gravity pulled the original interest structure out of shape and the structure was no longer stable, Zhao Xi went deep into it and readjusted this decayed structure.
.
Until now, Zhao Xi has not had any large-scale conflicts with any interest class, but has achieved the effect of adjusting the inherent pattern of interests.
As an emperor, it is actually easy to divide the cake. The difficult thing is to make more cakes so that more people can benefit.
Zhao Xi never touched other people's cheese, but made his own cheese and gave it to more people.
Even if Wang Anshi intended to re-divide the interests, with Wang Anshi's ready-made spearhead, Zhao Xi did not snatch it away. He still cleverly and euphemistically created more interests.
With the Youth Law, Zhao Xi launched the bank; with the Market Change Law, Zhao Xi allowed the court to intervene in transaction supervision and created an industry of government-run and private assistance; taking advantage of the reform of the official system, he promoted the establishment of a supervisory system...
None of this series of actions competes with the inherent interests for jobs, but every one of them shakes the foundation of the inherent interests.
All of this has allowed those who seek profit to gain, those who seek official positions to obtain official posts, and those who seek fame to gain fame. But one thing is consistent, that is, they have all stepped out of their original circles and given up their original persistence to a certain extent.
.
Throughout the afternoon, Zhao Xi has been immersed in his own world, or introspection, since he finished writing the structural text of the official system reform.
Zhao Xi is used to thinking about what he has done after a period of time...
In other words, it’s okay to take a break from your busy schedule and relax yourself.
The glass of the small window in the Qinzheng Hall made the light coming in a little messy. The light fell to the ground and blurred the edges of the window into pieces.
Zhao Xi has been in this era for almost thirty years, and he thinks he is doing pretty well.
At this time, even the most personal Wang Zhongzheng will not be around, only Zhao Xi himself. Make a pot of tea, give yourself space, and look at your heart soberly...
"Your Majesty...~"
Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps. Before anyone arrived, the voice came in first, with a hint of nervousness...
After following him for so long, Wang Zhongzheng learned to be steady and he rarely panicked like this.
Zhao Xi knew that something big had really happened!
"Your Majesty, there is smoke!"
"Huh? Langyan...~?"
At this moment, there was another rush of footsteps outside the hall. There were many, very fast, and very messy.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation at the border, and the smoke has spread to Bianliang!"
Fu Bi, who was in his sixties, gasped and explained the matter clearly as quickly as possible.
"Yanmen Pass? Or Fu Lin Prefecture?"
Zhao Xi stood up. He didn't even know how he got up.
It still happened!
Zhao Xi was a little annoyed. He had considered this possibility. Zhao Xi had considered this possibility since he decided to capture Mochuan City.
Because he was busy with the chaos in the court and had a sense of luck, he did not deal with it in advance. In the end, it happened.
"Your Majesty, smoke has broken out in Yanmen Pass and Linzhou."
Fu Bi did not have any doubts about the official's questioning. He thought that Wang Zhongzheng had already reported it.
"Rich Prime Minister, how should we make arrangements? The war has started, and there is no other choice! Prepare for war!"
"Your Majesty, I would like to suggest that, first of all, all officials should cancel their rest and stay in the palace to wait for the tasks assigned by the court."
"Second, from today onwards, all the princes of the Zhengshi Hall will take turns to be on duty at the Qinzheng Hall. New troops will be sent to garrison at Dutingyi."
"Third, quickly summon Lu Gongzhu from the Martial Arts Hall and Di Hanchen to the Qinzheng Hall to discuss matters. Quickly notify Han Yuru in Gongfang City and Su Zirong to go to the Qinzheng Hall to discuss matters."
"Fourth, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War must act quickly to inspect the soldiers and generals in various ministries and mobilize soldiers to prepare for war."
"Fifth, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Third Secretary and the Gongfang City must arrange the armaments, money, food and civilians for the army in advance."
"Your Majesty, I think this battle may not be easy, and the enemy is not good."
The Linzhou side of Fuzhou should be Xixia, and Yanmen Pass must be Northern Liao.
Fu Bi couldn't figure it out, how could Bei Liao betray the Chanyuan Alliance and use troops at the same time as the Western Bandits?
Once the Xixia and Northern Liao alliance, the country will face not only the smoke of fulin and Yanmenguan, but also the smoke of wolf in Hebei, Yan, Huanqing, Huichuan, and even the newly opened Xihe River...~
If you are not careful, it will be a disaster for the country!
