Everything starts with profit and ends with profit.
Regardless of official rank, dispatch, or the selection of three-level decision-making officials, interests are not at the core.
When Zhao Xi formulated the new official system, it was also based on interests. Only by ensuring that the interests of most ministers and workers were not damaged and giving them a vision can the stable promotion of this major innovation be ensured.
"In the official family, the current rank and rank of the dynasty are high. How to deal with the situation where the dispatch does not match the official's position due to unintentional reasons? For example, the situation of veteran ministers."
Zhang Fangping, a real veteran minister, served as a counselor in political affairs during the late emperor's time, and he was regarded as an official.
Because Zhao Xi focused on stability after taking the throne, he had no chance to enter the court again. Frustrated, Zhao Xi refused to retire several times.
Zhang Fangping has a square character. Although he has not been involved in government affairs for many years, when officials called him to participate in this political discussion, he did not bother to argue about money and food. He wanted to do things more.
Nowadays, the Song Dynasty is really prosperous and prosperous, and Zhang Fangping has the idea of returning to the court.
"An Daogong, your question involves the three-level decision-making system. If you have no objections to the official system, let's discuss the three-level decision-making system."
Zhao Xi is still familiar with Zhang Fangping, and it can even be said that Zhang Fangping played a considerable role in starting Zhao Xi's overall layout.
Back then, Zhao Xi led the escort camp to the south, traveled to Dali, planned a mining city, and gathered courtiers for the first time. Zhang Fangping gave him great support.
To be honest, Zhao Xi was still in his infancy at the time, and Zhao Yun let his father and son run the business for decades and had great influence among the courtiers. In a sense, Zhang Fangping supported Zhao Xi at that time, and it would not be wrong to say that he had the merit of supporting him.
Pass.
In terms of Zhang Fangping's qualifications, among the current political ministers, only Wen Yanbo and Han Qi are stronger than him.
This person can be considered a stubborn person, but he is an enlightened stubborn person.
Since the absence of Sima Guang in the political hall, Zhao Xi has always hoped that there would be an upright and stubborn man among his father-in-law. However, because he planned to promote the reform of the official system and the court needed stability, Zhao Xi has not transferred Zhang Fangping to the court.
In fact, Zhao Xi specially summoned Zhang Fangping for this political discussion, so he should understand the meaning.
Zhang Fangping asked at this time, also wanting to confirm his thoughts.
In terms of age, Zhang Fangping, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongbi are all of the same age. He has not given up his ambition to do something, and hopes to catch up with the development trend of the country and finally leave his name forever...~This
It is the obsession of being a scholar.
The official reform plan has been finalized. The so-called discussion requires such a ceremony and such a process.
The interpretation was completed a long time ago and has been finalized several times.
The three-level decision-making system that reflects status and rights is what everyone present is concerned about.
Regarding the three-level decision-making system, the courtiers knew only a limited amount, or in other words, the court disclosed only a limited amount to the public.
In the content announced by the imperial court, it only stated that the imperial court would implement the three-level decision-making and deliberative system of the imperial court, with the imperial assembly participating in government affairs, deliberation, and the cabinet.
The function of the court meeting is to participate in political affairs. To put it bluntly, it means that you have the right to participate in the important affairs of the country, but there are restrictions on the methods.
Those who enter the court meeting can comment on the affairs of the state and the state, and can also put forward suggestions and opinions for improving the affairs of the state and the state, but they are required to use written methods.
The source of the court attendees was mentioned in the content announced by the imperial court. It can be said that it is quite wide, covering almost all counties and counties in the entire country.
Deliberation should be the power level of the country and the country, and it is the level that has the right to evaluate, discuss, reject or agree with the direction of various policies of the country.
In a sense, deliberation is equivalent to the original dynasty meeting, which can discuss, criticize, debate, etc. on a certain policy of the dynasty.
At the political level, there is also the function of responding to questions from court officials participating in political affairs.
For example, the prefect of Qinzhou is responsible for discussing government affairs, while the magistrate of Qingshui is participating in government affairs for the court. When the magistrate of Qingshui proposes that a certain measure of the Qinzhou Prefecture is ineffective or inappropriate, the magistrate of Qinzhou must respond to the objections of the magistrate of Qingshui, and must also comply with the order.
Its satisfied.
Perhaps this can be regarded as a check and balance. In terms of position, the Qinzhou magistrate is higher than the Qingshui County magistrate. He has certain jurisdiction over Qingshui County and even has a say in the promotion of Qingshui County magistrate. Moreover, the officials of Qingshui County Yamen are used by Qinzhou magistrates.
The moderation of the prefect.
However, through the court meeting model, Qingshui County Magistrate had a direct channel to Tianting, and he could comment on the work of Qinzhou Magistrate at the court meeting.
Similarly, those who participate in the political affairs of the DPRK and comment on the various policies of the DPRK are not restricted by official rank, title, dispatch and geographical location. They can even directly comment on the policies of cabinet members.
Of course, all rights in the three-level decision-making system must be directed towards governance, that is, to matters rather than to people.
There are special channels for the supervision system to impeach people.
In other words, Zhao Xi limited the three-level decision-making system to the scope of pure government affairs, letting government affairs belong to government affairs, and impeachment to impeachment, avoiding the original situation of noisy meetings.
While cabinet members have rights, they are also subject to checks and balances at the level of deliberation and participation in political meetings.
The cabinet members are different from the administrative affairs. The administrative affairs are held concurrently, and the cabinet members no longer hold other official positions in the court.
For example, Wang Anshi is now the third envoy, and Wen Yanbo is now the privy envoy. Once the three-level decision-making system is implemented, they must resign from their original posts.
Regardless of whether it is Pingzhang military affairs or the chief officials of the East and West governments, they will no longer hold concurrent positions. There will be a unified title...cabinet.
Cabinet members will implement a division of labor system. For example, Wen Yanbo can be in charge of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War. For example, Wang Anshi can be in charge of the three envoys and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The division of management itself is a kind of check and balance. The six ministries and nine ministers, prefectures, counties, supervisory yamen, lecture halls, workshops, etc. can all be supervised by cabinet members, but cabinet members can only recommend the appointment of these political officials in charge of their yamen.
power, no power of appointment or removal.
However, the implementation and promotion of all policies and measures for departments in charge of cabinet members must be recognized and approved by cabinet members.
In daily official duties, cabinet members will handle the business of their respective departments, which will ultimately be reviewed by the prime minister... who is the first person in the cabinet, and the final decision will be submitted to the king for approval.
The deliberation is a mechanism for the imperial court to regularly negotiate the affairs of various yamen, in order to ensure that major matters of the yamen are not decided privately by the cabinet and the yamen in charge.
This also ensures that the king can fully understand the operation of each government office in the country without having to go into details.
Participating in politics, debating politics, and cabinet form a three-level decision-making system that is subordinate to each other and has checks and balances on each other.
Each cabinet corresponds to different affairs, and there is a superior-subordinate relationship between discussing affairs and participating in politics. In the whole line, the upper level has restrictions on the rights of the lower level.
Whether it is personnel or political affairs, the final decision-making power belongs to the king.
In this way, power flows from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top, forming a system of cross checks and balances. While strengthening the supremacy of imperial power, it also decentralizes the governance of the entire dynasty.
