Chapter 175

Ying Jieyan urgently stopped the meeting. Following the palace down to the study, he looked at the depressed highman without saying a word for a long time.?                                                                                                             

?He felt that Your Highness is a good child, who works in an orderly manner, foresight, passion and motivation. However, he also has many problems. He likes to be lazy when studying and plays without any limit. However, these are common problems for children, and it is not a big deal. As long as you hit it frequently, it will be fine. Your Highness’s biggest problem, no, can no longer be called a problem, but a fatal flaw - not following the rules.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, several young emperors have also appeared, but they all followed the affairs of the empress dowager and the assistants of the important ministers. They often had to wait for adulthood to withdraw the curtain before they could take power. His Highness opened a government office at the age of seven, and the ruler was unique in the Song Dynasty. The one who broke the taboo that the prince could not participate in political affairs and led troops was a second person except Emperor Gaozong. What was even more surprising was that he could handle affairs without a teacher. The master who was ordered to assist was more like a puppet, while His Highness was the actual manipulator of a series of actions of the General Mansion.

After that, His Highness reorganized the government army, abolished the old rules in the army, and formulated new laws. Then he crossed the border to conquered Guangzhou, breaking the customs rules that everyone agreed upon, and distributed the confiscated property to the people. When he left, he violated the unspoken rules of the officialdom again, and left without a sentry. The same was true when he arrived in Qiongzhou. He had to change what he didn't like. But Ying Jieyan knew that some harmless things could be changed, but some rules could not be moved. At the least, it would cause turmoil in the officialdom, and in severe cases it would be suspected of being usurped.

Today, because the states and counties failed to recruit the required civil servants on time and in full, His Highness had to modify the control, but he was strict in his duties but knew that the official system was the foundation of the country and could not be changed by momentary intention. Of course, the matter of administration was not only at this time. There were also many knowledgeable people in the past dynasties, and they must have known it, but why didn't everyone say that they would change it? Because it was learned from the past, the Xining reform and the Qingli New Policy, which ended in the end without success, and the reformers either died or demoted.

His Highness is different from other court officials who advocate reform and reform. He not only came from the royal family, but also had the title of prince. He was too sensitive to his identity. He was not sure how many people were watching his words and deeds. Especially as a young man, he was in polite military and political power, he was a prince. His recent actions were too popular and he was very motivated and had great contributions to the lord. If he carried out reforms, there would be nothing to do. If he aroused the suspicion of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, it would be not just a demotion. It is very likely that he would be treated as a rebellious person. The general's mansion would disappear with it, leaving only legends...

"Sir, why did you stop the meeting today and refuse to make a conclusion in court?" Zhao Bing said aggrievedly. He came to this world in a daze and wanted to save his life, but he found that he had just pulled out a trap. Unexpectedly, a cow was involved. While busy saving his life, he had to take on the obligation to take care of the cow. He did not care about its food and drink, and he had to build a cow shed for it to shelter from the wind and rain, find a spacious land to roam, and while serving it carefully, he had to worry that it was unhappy to take on its own family. Isn't this a matter of nothing to be sought?

"Your Highness, you can do something, but you can't do it." Ying Jieyan stroked his beard and said. He knew that your highness would not change his mind easily. How could he convince him?

"Sir, now that the government of Qiongzhou has become corrupt, it has reached a point where it must be changed. What should I do?" Zhao Bing asked back.

"This system has been implemented in nearly three hundred years since our dynasty established itself. Not only in Qiongzhou, but also in the whole country. It is not something that can change." Ying Jieyan He said.

"Sir, it is precisely because of this that the whole country has been lost. If we do not change, Qiongzhou will probably not be able to protect it. In extraordinary times, we must use extraordinary methods!" Zhao Bing responded with a smile.

"The affairs of Your Highness's reform are not just about Qiongzhou, but it involves the whole country and involves a lot. Moreover, the matter of changing the official system is the responsibility of the court, and it is not something that Your Highness can easily touch." Ying Jieyan certainly knew that this was the case, but he avoided talking and said in a word.

"Sir, I don't want to be so big, I can only implement it in Qiongzhou!" Zhao Bing said with a smile. He knew that reform was definitely not a gentle thing, it was blood flowing like a river. Before, Shang Yang was dismembered by five horses, and later Wang Anshi was forced to retire. Even Jia Sidao wanted to implement the Public Land Law not long ago, but was demoted. Of course, he contained too many selfish thoughts, and wanted to use reform as a means to attack political opponents. He did not have so many ideas, but just wanted to do his part.

"Your Highness, it's because of this that it's even more unchangeable!" Ying Jieyan said with a wry smile, "That day, in Jiazi Town, I wanted to open a prefecture in Qiongzhou, some court officials thought that your highness was willing to be independent. I believe you have heard of this for a long time. If it were only implemented in Qiongzhou, wouldn't it be better to ask for your own advice?"

"Mr. What the sir said is reasonable, but if it is still the case, it is impossible to do anything. In the future, the baggage needs to be transported and the city defense needs to be repaired. It will be even more difficult to recruit the civilians. We have already lost three points before the battle." Zhao Bing admitted that what Ying Jieyan said is true, but if he does not change, he will die faster, and this only takes a little change to change the end. Therefore, he was very unwilling and still wanted to try to convince Ying Jieyan.

"Your Highness's loyalty to the king and the country are known to me and the generals' mansion, but it is difficult for the people in the court to predict. The Fengbo Pavilion was just a false statement!" Ying Jieyan was unmoved on this issue and stubbornly sticking to the bottom line.

"Sir, are you just watching the defeat come to nothing? Why not stay in Guangzhou and even go abroad? Why waste money and food here?" Zhao Bing was a little anxious, thinking that he had been hiding in this corner, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to do something, so he said anxiously.

"Your Highness, don't be upset!" Ying Jieyan saw His Highness jumping up quickly and comforted him, "Your Highness, we need to solve this problem in urgent need. Moreover, you are the leader of the general's mansion. If you can't hold back so much, the upper and lower levels will be in chaos and panic!"

"Well, I'm too impatient." Zhao Bing immediately became quiet after hearing this. He didn't know what to do, and the flock behind him was still running away!

"Your Highness, can you explain this matter in detail and see if you can make some adjustments?" Ying Jieyan said again when he calmed down.

"Okay!" Zhao Bing nodded. His idea was actually very simple, which was to introduce modern management models, strengthen grassroots construction, and value those with both moral integrity and ability, at the same time reward diligence and punish laziness, and establish perfect incentive measures...
