The development of the matter made Zhao Xi feel confused.
Whether it was Su Shi being investigated or the General Inspector's Yamen sending officers to investigate Wang Shao, it did not cause some forces in the court to collide with each other. These two things seemed to be two simple things, and they were never related to these two cases.
Associated bullets.
It ended so quietly?
Zhao Xi ordered the Imperial City Department to monitor it closely, but the fact was that there was nothing unusual.
Until the inspector sent to Hehuang came back and announced the results of Wang Shao's incident through internal reference... it could be regarded as rectifying Wang Shao's name.
Both incidents are over, and there are still no related incidents...
The only impact of these two incidents seems to be to promote the work of the supervisory yamen.
The Su Shi case proved that the supervisory yamen of the state must be punished if they are responsible, and the Wang Shao case also proved that the purpose of the supervisory yamen is to make conclusions based on evidence.
The real benefit from such a result seems to be the supervisory yamen. Since these two incidents, the number of internal reference reports has increased sporadically, and more of them have been verified to be true. The court seems to be changing the method of impeachment of courtiers out of thin air.
, gradually changing in a well-founded direction.
Such a result made the political ministers look at Zhao Xi a little differently.
Don’t they all think that Zhao Xi planned these two things? It’s really possible.
This method, this sign, is indeed very similar to Zhao Xi's technique.
But in fact, it was really not Zhao Xi who was the instigator. Let’s not talk about it, just take the blame. It is beneficial to the Song Dynasty and to the advancement of the Supervisory Yamen. He, Zhao Xi, does not care about taking this name.
As for who the spoiler is, he will always show up.
In fact, Zhao Xi really doesn't want his ministers to do things based on the king's look. But the fact is that when the king has considerable authority in the court, even the husband will look at the king's face.
The second draft of the three-level decision-making system has been completed, and it has been sent to the prefectures, counties, and counties for discussion for the second time. It should be implemented in less than a year.
It's just Wang Anshi's art of war. Zhao Xi thought that it was time for the Zhengshitang to be completed, but there was no movement.
This is caused by Zhao Xi's attitude.
At that juncture, Wang Anshi proposed a military strategy, but the officials asked him to take it back and discuss it later. In the eyes of the ministers, this meant shelving it, or even rejecting it... So, the ministers didn't take it seriously.
Even Wang Anshi focused entirely on understanding the changes in the court. As for questioning his son, Wang Anshi didn't even think about it.
"A few days ago, Mr. Wang proposed the method of raising troops. Can you, Mr. Wang, discuss it? Can you make a final decision on whether it is feasible or not?"
During a regular meeting, Zhao Xi suddenly asked about this matter.
Judging from Wang Anshi's resentful expression, he probably really regarded the series of events some time ago as an official plot.
It's just that the sudden mention of the art of war really caught the gentlemen a little off guard.
Fu Bi was the one who carried the flag. Even if he held on, he still had to answer the officials' questions.
At any rate, he had seen it and considered its shortcomings. After sorting out his thoughts, he started talking.
"Your Majesty, the determination of security chiefs and inspections in the Military Law is based on official status and wealthy households. This is nothing originally. If the military is promoted on this basis, it may become the second civilian service system."
"Since His Majesty came to the throne, although he has not explicitly abolished civil service, he has not even called for civil service in war. In fact, civil service has basically been cancelled."
"In addition, over the years, workshops have been built in Gongfangcheng and infrastructure has been built in the counties, prefectures and counties of the country, which has led to the abolition of civil service. Now, once the military law is introduced, I am worried that local governments will follow the practice of civil service, and eventually
Not only does it fail to ensure the quality of the soldiers, it actually increases the burden on the people and causes constant local disputes."
"At the same time, the common people are worried about being recommended as soldiers, so they will even take advantage of the daily armor training and do it perfunctorily."
These words show that Fu Bi is really familiar with the art of war, otherwise it would be impossible for him to fully understand the disadvantages in it.
"Prime Minister Fu, the law of war is the law of war, and civil service is civil service. The two cannot be confused. If there is any confusion, the supervisory office can investigate and deal with it."
"Nowadays, there is a serious shortage of soldiers in the country. Even basic patrols are stretched, and the troops cannot be mobilized normally. How can the court stop eating because of choking? We cannot turn a blind eye to the situation of the army in the country just because we are worried that the law of war will be misinterpreted. Your Majesty, I think that the law of war is
feasible!"
The officials once again mentioned the art of war, which meant that they promoted it intentionally. Wang Anshi naturally had something to say.
"The words of the Prime Minister are wrong! Although we are now in charge, who has not entered the official position from a young official? How can the most basic affairs be compared with those of prefectures and counties?"
"Moreover, the objects of supervision of the state's supervision system have been clearly stated in the supervision regulations as ministerial workers. The security guards and inspections in the military law are equivalent to those of gentry and wealthy households. They are applicable to the penal system of the Song Dynasty, but may not be applicable to the supervision regulations."
Smart people are smart people. Han Qi could find the basis for his rhetoric from the simple dialogue between Fu Bi and Wang Anshi. He even understood the core essence of the art of war to a certain extent.
"The shortage of troops in the country is a fact, and it has indeed reached a point where it must be solved and solved as soon as possible. Since the Battle of Yanmen, the new Jiangnan Army that went north is still stationed in Hebei Province. Once there is chaos in Jiangnan, the court will be caught off guard."
Han Jiang felt that as long as the officials mentioned it, they should have already had an idea.
Leaving aside the art of raising troops and simply talking about the current situation of the country's shortage of troops, this is the discussion environment for officials to express their own ideas.
"It's better to select troops than to raise them!"
"Xiang Wen, please explain in detail how to select soldiers."
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, at the beginning of the dynasty, Taizu had already selected troops. Nowadays, the treatment of soldiers in the country has been improving year by year, and many aspects of the military have been greatly improved. It is not a bad idea to implement Taizu's method of selecting troops.
.”
Tsk...Zhao Xi thought Wen Yanbo could say any new words!
"In fact, whether it is raising or selecting soldiers, the most essential thing is how the people view the soldiers. This requires considering the status and treatment of the soldiers."
"In my opinion, the first thing is that the requirement for tattoos on soldiers needs to be cancelled. Tattooing on soldiers, as we all know, is a way to prevent deserters in troubled times. There is no need to cancel it now."
"The second point is the issue of transfer of nationality. Once you become a soldier, you will remain a soldier for life, with no hope of promotion, and you will be blocked from transferring to civilian status. This has led to too many old, weak, sick and disabled people in the army, and there is confusion.
The mentality of eating and waiting to die. You can see the clues from the several cases of military transfer to civilians."
"The final issue is the treatment of soldiers, and there is also the issue of the promotion mechanism of soldiers."
"If the imperial court solves these three shortcomings of the current military, whether it is selecting or raising troops, it may not be a problem."
"However, after I saw the king's military strategy, I had another idea, that is, the military service system."
"The so-called military service system is to first stipulate the number of years of military service and smooth the channels for military and civilian transfers. Secondly, to straighten out the promotion channels for soldiers within the army so that the people can see the hope of becoming soldiers."
"Third, the imperial court issued policies to support the military, improve the status of military dependents and families of soldiers, and provide certain preferential treatment policies."
"The most critical point is that I suggest that the imperial court issue an edict that all people of appropriate age in every country are obliged to perform military service. Only in this way can the military service system be realized."
