Gongfangcheng suggested to the Ministry of Industry to sign a letter of responsibility with the imperial court and specify various indicators and tasks...～
Zhao Xi was helpless when he heard the news.
When the Imperial City Secretary heard about the departments that were interested in signing the responsibility letter: Gongfang City, Lecture Hall, State-owned Temple, Shiyi Temple, Supervisory Yamen... Zhao Xi was even more helpless.
Are you that stubborn?
Zhao Xi thought that under voluntary circumstances, the country should have officials who dare to take the lead. As a result...~it is these newly established departments that really take the lead.
"Officially, Privy Envoy Lu requested to sign a letter of responsibility with the imperial court. Mr. Wenge thought that this year was the beginning of the Military Service, and many situations were difficult to judge, so he blocked Privy Envoy Lu's request. Members of the Privy Council also suggested to wait and see..."
The Imperial City Department was very busy during the Great Court Meeting, and in the past few days, extra manpower was assigned to the signing of the letter of responsibility.
"Lao Wangge and Lu Yizheng agreed on the signing of the responsibility letter at Shiyi Temple. The supervisory yamen was unified and had no objections."
Alas... the so-called clinging to one's faults probably refers to the current courtiers! Concepts cannot be changed by a simple boast.
Zhao Xi still misjudged the ideological rigidity of the ministers and workers of the country, and also overestimated the motivational effect of the court on the ministers and workers.
"How is the banquet situation in Bianliang?"
The courtiers are all experienced, and Zhao Xi needs to know how the courtiers will react to the kind of praise given by the Great Court Meeting.
"Back at the official's house, the banquet in Bianliang was quite lively on the day of the great dynasty meeting. The banquet that day was full of praise for the prosperity of the dynasty..."
Strong? Maybe! Zhao Xi really doesn’t understand the ministers of the dynasty. Since he knows that change makes the dynasty strong, why doesn’t he change his mind and let himself be the pioneer of this era of change, instead of waiting behind to enjoy it.
"How about the cabinet minister?"
"Back at the official residence, the cabinet ministers basically closed the door to thank guests and refused to see visitors. Even the matter of Wang Ge Lao and Lu Yizheng regarding the signing of a letter of responsibility for Shiyi Temple was agreed upon in the household department group and was not communicated in private."
There is a saying in later generations called subjective initiative. All along, Zhao Xi has been guiding, hoping that ministers and workers can exert the so-called subjective initiative.
As a result, it was still the same this time. From the five-year plan to the signing of the letter of responsibility, we never saw much initiative from the courtiers.
Thinking about the changes in the dynasty over the years, I have always planned them myself and then pushed the court forward, instead of leading the affairs of the dynasty. These are two concepts.
Zhao Xi has been guiding, and indeed changes have been made, but the results are really shabby.
The courtiers of the Song Dynasty were accustomed to enjoying themselves, to the so-called rule from the top, and to doing nothing. This is no longer a question of boiling frogs in warm water, this is a question of ideology, or the strength of habits.
Zhao Xi believed that after being in power for thirteen years without stopping changes, he should be able to make his ruling philosophy clear to the courtiers. However, the inertia of laziness and neglect is deeply rooted in the hearts of today's courtiers.
A hundred years have passed like this, not to mention that we now have a record of great victory in foreign conquests. Nowadays, all affairs of the country and the dynasty are prosperous, so why bother causing more troubles? I am afraid that there are not a few cabinet ministers who hold this view.
Zhao Xi sometimes thinks of Wang Anshi's original reform. From another perspective, the so-called conservatives are not necessarily all because of loss of interests. They should be partly because they don't like changes and don't want to change.
At the end of the first day of the Dachao meeting, the glorious achievements of the state made the whole Goulan wine shop in Bianliang overcrowded. There were hymns about the power of the state everywhere. This shows that the courtiers did not not hope that the Song Dynasty would be strong, but that it would be so strong.
Make them very satisfied, so satisfied that they don't need to make progress.
In fact, Zhao Xi has always disagreed with using this word to describe the country or this nation, but the facts forced him to admit... this thing is really stubborn.
The imperial court's institutional shortcomings can be solved by establishing a new mechanism. The imperial court's institutional shortcomings can be changed into a new system. But the courtiers' ideas are rotten and it is not that easy to change. At least, in terms of the gains from this great court meeting, Zhao
It is impossible for Xi to take any more measures.
On the last day of the agenda, the courtiers were very enthusiastic, and even the cabinet ministers were beaming with joy. In the entire Qinzheng Palace, only Zhao Xi looked helpless... Zhao Xi was lonely.
To be honest, when such a situation occurs, Zhao Xi is sure that few officials in the entire dynasty are aware of the root cause of this problem. Maybe it is too metaphysical and abstract, or maybe the dynasty has really made great progress.
It has indeed become so powerful that the ministers can no longer see the shortcomings that still exist in the court.
"Mr. Fu Ge, I am going to conduct rotation training on the political affairs of the country..."
The court meeting has ended, with the joy of the courtiers and the helplessness of Zhao Xi. Zhao Xi summoned Fu Bi to come and play the duel.
To a certain extent, Zhao Xi is quite fond of Fu Bi and has always believed that Fu Bi is a good prime minister. Years of cooperation between the monarch and his ministers have also made Zhao Xi relatively familiar with Fu Bi. It's just that Fu Bi is right.
"Officials, I don't know what the main purpose of official training and discussion is?"
The training of new officials in the Jiangwu Hall has been a long-established issue, and this point has been discussed by the cabinet. But now, during his term of office, he has been trained and discussed in rotation without promotion, which really makes Fu Bi a little confused.
"Mr. Fu Ge, I want to know, what does Mr. Ge think of the current government? Just treat it as a casual chat."
I still remember the scene twenty years ago. At that time, Pang Ji told Zhao Xi: Just make small talk. Now it is also a precondition for small talk...
"Officials, please forgive me for being stupid. In my opinion, the country can now be described as changing with each passing day. Whether it is military equipment, tax revenue, education, people's livelihood, etc., it can be said that it is not the same as it was during the time of the late emperor."
"The veteran is pleased that the resurgence of the Song Dynasty is just around the corner in his lifetime. In the official family, considering the current situation of the country, the veteran would not have dared to even think about it twenty years ago."
Fu Bi did not specifically talk about the rise of the New Army, nor did he talk about the de facto abolition of civilian service. He did not compare the achievements of the three redundants, nor did he compare the soaring tax revenue. It was just a simple emotion, but it was expressed very appropriately.
He is satisfied with the current dynasty.
"So, what is the reason for the changes in the country today?"
"Returning to the official family is the reason for the new government policy!"
"Mr. Ge, although this is a compliment, in fact it is indeed the case. Except for some of Mr. Wang Ge's new laws, the reason why the country has achieved today's achievements all started from me."
"I am not boasting, but I feel it is unsatisfactory. Going back to some previous statements, the Song Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty of Zhao Xi alone, but the Song Dynasty of the entire court, and the Song Dynasty of thousands of people of the Song Dynasty. I am
You are covered in iron, how many nails can you drive in?"
"Mr. Ge, looking at the achievements of the country over the years, how many changes have been made by the courtiers on their own initiative? No! They all came out of the Qinzheng Palace and were promoted through repeated discussions. Mr. Ge, this is not normal.
In other words, this is not the normal state of a dynasty."
"When various schools of thought were debating scriptures, I once mentioned a saying: A hundred schools of thought contend, and a hundred flowers bloom. In fact, I hope this statement can appear in governance, governance, and governance. Obey, I do not deny the significance of ministers obeying the king.
However, blindly following the implementation is a kind of rigidity in itself.”
"The country is thousands of miles from north to south and thousands of miles from east to west. How can all states, counties, and counties be the same? The implementation of the imperial court's new policies in various places cannot be generalized. This requires ministers to take the initiative. But what will be the result? Mr. Ge, maybe the cabinet
I think the letter of responsibility is a task indicator, and I am worried that because of the letter of responsibility, it will cause confusion in the implementation of the new policies in local states, counties, and counties.”
"In fact, the reason why I introduced the responsibility letter system is to urge local officials to take the initiative, so that the entire country can thrive and change with each passing day, not just the court. What is the result? Mr. Ge, I think that the reason why this happened
The essence of the situation is that the courtiers are ideologically rigid, mentally stubborn, and fundamentally unwilling to make progress, as well as the inertia of laziness and neglect of government, weak ideals of family and country, serious complacency, and the prevalence of hedonism."
"That's why I want to conduct rotational training on the government affairs of the country, and try my best to develop the thinking of ministers who discuss government affairs, so as to bring about major changes in the country in the real sense...because they are the backbone of the government."
How long has it been? How long has it been since the official made such a long speech? For a long time, even Fu Bi has been trying to figure out the official's intentions. At this time, Fu Bi really got the official's intentions from the official's words.
will.
Fu Bi didn't know whether there was ideological rigidity, because he was also a minister of the Song Dynasty who was led by inertia. Except for Wang Anshi, who dared to shout out that his ancestors were not lawful, most of the courtiers were led by inertia. He only talked about martial arts.
There are doubts about the practice that can be changed through rotational training.
In addition, in the past few days, Fu Bi calmed down and discussed the issue of the responsibility letter with everyone in the cabinet. It seemed that he also felt that there was something wrong with signing the responsibility letter.
Wang Jiefu's point of view may be correct: although the responsibility letter is all-inclusive, the officials have not specified any item. Whether it can be completed, or whether the project targets can be completed, including determining the targets, to what extent they are completed, etc., is not up to the court.
In the state capital and yamen, this is only a guiding measure, not a forced order, but based on voluntariness. The courtiers did not sign a letter of responsibility, either they have no responsibility or they are content with the status quo.
Combined with what Guan Jia said... Maybe I really misunderstood, or maybe there really is a so-called ideological problem. The key is, can rotation training in the martial arts hall change these?
"Officials and senior ministers are not opposed to rotational training and political discussions, or it may be that they are not clear about the teachings of Jiangwu Hall and dare not make rash comments. However, if the court officials are really as the officials say, they have rigid ideas, dare not take responsibility, and are lazy in politics.
Politically, he doesn’t want to make progress, he is stuck in his ways, and he enjoys too much. Can the rotating training in the martial arts hall be changed?”
"Deliberation is the backbone of the country, and the veteran agrees. No matter what strategy the court adopts, if it is to be implemented in the country, it must be truly understood by the government. The veteran thinks that the cabinet can be familiar with the education system of the Jiangwu Hall, so as to have a good understanding of the government.
Is there a correct evaluation of rotation training?”
Starting from the old guard camp, whether it is the guard camp or the martial arts hall, it has always been independent of the court. Fu Bi, including the cabinet and courtiers, can only feel the results of the education in the martial arts hall, the new army, and supervision
Officials, former ministers of Qiandi, Gongfangcheng, etc. have never had a deep understanding of the teachings of the official family of Jiangwu Hall.
Since the official family intends to use rotation training to discuss politics, this means that the official family wants to let go of the education system of the martial arts hall.
After Fu Bi finished speaking, he clearly felt that Guan Jia was a little stunned. He thought Guan Jia was hesitant, but he didn't expect Zhao Xi to suddenly realize.
He thought he was killing people! In Zhao Xi's mind, he always thought that the theory of Jiangwutang, that is, the old guard camp, was already well known in the court. After hearing what Fu Bi said, he remembered that the court officials had always
They are all avoiding everything in the martial arts hall, and have always regarded it as something exclusive to the official family, or to the royal family.
This is a huge misunderstanding.
"Master Ge, do you think it is better to order Mr. Ouyang to give lectures or to open the martial arts hall?"
"The official family and the veteran believe that if Ouyang Gong gives lectures, it will inevitably lead to a situation similar to the debate between academic schools. The veteran believes that opening up the teaching system of the martial arts hall is a good thing."
System? Maybe forget it. It was just a system that Zhao Xi pieced together some of the knowledge he had in his mind, or more appropriately, a scrap of it, on the basis of reality, focusing on dialectics and loyalty education.
set of theories.
The so-called theoretical system should be said to be a selective patchwork of many contents in Zhao Xi's memory. For example, it expounds the arguments for the development and change of things in dialectics. For example, it expounds the dialectical relationship between the family, country and world. It borrows a few words from ancient sages.
, to the opinions of great people and celebrities in various periods in later generations. It can form a seemingly systematic academic system.
In any case, the theory of Jiangwutang Officials still aroused considerable repercussions in the cabinet. It is hundreds of thousands of words long and written by Zhao Xi since the beginning of the preparation of the guard camp...or reciting it.
It's all right. Of course, there is Zhao Xi's hard work in this. After all, he needs to integrate with the current academic level. It is quite difficult.
The busiest person should be Ouyang Xiu who was immersed in the official theory and was deeply impressed. Even Zhang Dun and Su Che were invited by cabinet ministers to explain the official theory from time to time.
At the same time, former ministers such as Lu Gongzhu, Han Zhen, and Su Song also had to sort out the contents of their official education over the years in preparation for discussion with the cabinet ministers.
The correctness of a theory that has been verified by history is difficult to question. The difference is that compared to the current era, this set of theories lacks a gradual process. However, the Song Dynasty was originally an era of alternation between old and new academic theories.
, is an era of prosperous culture, an era where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend. As the elite of this era, the Song Dynasty cabinet, which also focused on metaphysics, used its own wisdom to make up for the disconnected and imperfect links to a certain extent.
In repeated discussions, mutual exchanges and verifications, Zhao Xi's specious theory based on organizational education for later generations was accepted by the cabinet ministers.
