The more familiar you are with reading the books of saints and sages, the more you will understand what is going on in this world.
Han Qi understood what his son said, especially the previous part, and so did Fu Bi.
When officials reach their level, they will naturally not be like the ignorant people who really think that officials are the emperor, and they will naturally understand that the world is not a world of one family and one surname, but a world of people.
It is better to say that you can get corresponding rewards in a dynasty because of your own efforts. I believe that this idea exists in the hearts of most ministers.
But today, his son's theory really touched him.
Indeed, without the Song Dynasty, how could Han Qi have the status of being the leader, and how could he have the glory of being one of the top five Jinshi of the Han family.
Without the official family and the people, who will he serve as the governor? To assist the king? To shepherd the people?
Naturally, the rise and fall of the Song Dynasty was the rise and fall of Han Qi, the rise and fall of the Han family, and the rise and fall of the entire court.
The truth is indeed such a truth, but for a person of Han Qi's age and level, it is impossible to really change him much.
Touching is touching, and change is another matter.
"The rich prime minister, Junyan is dull and stupid, and he is not Bi Shaolong. I am wondering, is it good or bad for the court and for them personally if such a mellow and dull person performs supervisory duties?"
It was the latter that Han Qi was worried about. He always felt that these supervisors seemed to have been deceived by the officials into cannon fodder, serving as the spearhead of the officials' rectification of the courtiers.
He was very worried.
"Zhigui, inspectors don't need to be clever, they need to be honest. They are only responsible for following the rules and regulations and performing investigation tasks. It doesn't matter whether they are stupid or not."
"Zhigui should know how the laws and regulations are formulated. And the process of handling the officials under investigation should also be clear to Zhigui. Why do we need to worry about them?"
Han Zhigui has abilities and wisdom, but his structure... is lacking! Now that he is struggling with this point, Fu Bi is a little disappointed.
"Fu Xiang, I have probably browsed the directory of supervisors. All the supervisors at the state level are from Jinshi background, and their subordinate officials, including the chief supervisory office, prefectural, county and county supervisory offices, have special names and benevolence.
There are too many Yin officials, and there are countless descendants of the successive governors of the court and the six ministers and nine ministers..."
It wasn't that Han Qi wanted to speculate on the official family with malicious intent, it was the official family's past record with civil servants that made him have to think more.
There seems to have always been a sense of hostility between these people who were given official posts by Te Zuoming and Enyin, and the courtiers and officials who were scholars.
Such an arrangement is likely to cause the entire civil service group to fall apart.
It is not that there are no fights between civil servants in the court, but civil servants have always been highly unified in terms of checking and balancing the imperial power and restraining military commanders.
As for the current supervisory yamen... they are loyal to the imperial court, loyal to His Majesty, and loyal to the Song Dynasty. They are no longer loyal to their own class, the scholar-bureaucrat class.
Han Qi believed that this was the main purpose of the government setting up supervisory offices. He could see the civil servants eventually having to rely on the officials, and he seemed to see the results of the officials influencing the Song Dynasty with just one word... It was terrible.
!
From now on, I am afraid that the imperial dynasty will become the real supremacy of imperial power.
"Zhigui, with the guidance of the Supervisory Office, the entire country can perform its duties and maintain a certain order, which is the best state."
"The country has thousands of threads, the court has only one needle, the family has its head, the state has the king, whether it is a civil servant or a military commander, a state-run temple or a workshop city, a martial arts lecture hall or an inspector, they are all the yamen that make up the imperial court of the Song Dynasty.
Why should we distinguish whether it is civil and military leadership or whether it is dominated by monarchs and ministers?”
"You also know the concept and framework of the three-level decision-making system. It will eventually form a structure in which the cabinet governs different departments. The king is only the final arbiter and will no longer interfere too much in government affairs."
"This indicates that the purpose of balancing the strength of ministers and workers and the officials and decentralizing power has been achieved. The officials rebuilt the official system of the dynasty, not to centralize power, but to decentralize power."
"From the approval of various industries, the determination of tax revenue, to the court's industrial income, the distribution of the court's annual revenue, and then to the distribution of taxes and expenditures, they are led by the Barter Temple, the State-owned Temple, the Ministry of Revenue and the Three Envoys respectively. This is the division of financial power."
"The military equipment is handed over to Gongfang City, the generals are handed over to the Privy Council, the captains are determined by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and unified training is completed in the martial arts hall. This has formed a pattern in which soldiers, captains, generals, and teachers all perform their respective duties.
This is the separation of powers in military affairs."
"Let's talk about the official structure of the court. The court meeting implements an annual system. The roads, prefectures, and prefecture levels of the country will conduct annual work reports. This will form a certain degree of competition at the court meeting, and also allow the court to understand local governance at a glance."
"The political meeting is held once a quarter to decide on policy directions for specific affairs of the country. The personnel composition of these two levels will include six ministries and nine ministers, local and state chief officials, military generals and other personnel. This is guaranteed.
When formulating policies, the imperial court can maximize the benefits to a wider range of people."
"As for the cabinet, each one usually manages its own affairs, but they are connected through morning meetings, so that every cabinet member can understand the current important affairs of the country and facilitate communication with each other."
"The governance of the entire court is almost entirely entrusted to the courtiers. Officials only focus on specific affairs and control major affairs of the country. This is the decentralization of political power."
"The Supervisory Yamen is responsible for the supervision of the entire imperial court and is directly responsible to the officials. This is the right thing to do."
"As for the composition and training of the censors, whether they are from Jinshi background, children of aristocratic families, or special names, it is better to say that the officials are taking advantage of them, rather than balancing them."
“Only in this way can we avoid the supervisory yamen from colluding in the end, directly form a check and balance relationship within the supervisory yamen, and avoid the supervisory yamen becoming a tool for fighting with each other.”
"The Supervisory Yamen is an official and has an official career, but he is independent from the imperial court and is related to the imperial court. After being trained, he will naturally form a specific way of doing things within the Supervisory Yamen. It is said that it will soon become a part of the Great Song Dynasty.
It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s a new trend.”
"Zhigui, we should be lucky to have such an official family, such a king, and such a big structure, which can support the great changes of the country and allow the Song Dynasty to achieve a true renaissance. This is what we and others will leave behind forever.
ensure!"
"Zhigui, look broadly and don't limit yourself. Open your mind and devote yourself to this era of great changes. In recent years, there have been clues, or it has begun to bear fruit. Zhigui, go all out to assist the officials, and future generations will
I will always remember you for your hard work!"
Fu Bi was very excited, or he wanted to use his excitement to tell Han Zhigui: Stop staying in your own prejudices.
This was also Fu Bi's last advice to Han Qi. Regardless of changes, Fu Bi was not prepared to give any advice next time.
He almost explained everything to Han Zhigui about the official will that he could understand.
Han Qi didn't know how to describe his mood at this time. He seemed to remember that during the Qingli Year, he, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Su and Du Yan, under the leadership of Old Xianggong Fan, prepared to make drastic changes to the country's weak and weak past.
The scene of poverty.
But what is the result? Just like a gust of wind, in the hesitation of the officials, Mr. Fan died and was displaced...
