Chapter 364 Passed by the Administrative Secretary!
Chapter 364 The Government Affairs Department passed!
In fact, they are not worried about the imperial examination system, after all, they have already come out and are in a high position.
What they mainly opposed was a series of reforms by Wu Zhi.
Let’s not talk about other things, just change the system of grace and embellishment, and it will be impossible for them to recommend their relatives to be officials in the future.
It is equivalent to weakening the development potential of their family.
There is also an promotion system. In the past, in order to win over the world's literati and officials, the Song Dynasty developed a system that could be promoted by pursuing qualifications. This is the benefit of their literati and officials.
But now Wu Zhi's new law has basically blocked this path of ascent.
In the past, you could be promoted if you didn’t do anything and make mistakes. Now, according to Wu Zhi’s method, if you don’t have any achievements, you may not be promoted if you fail the review.
Moreover, according to Wu Zhi's meaning, his system review is very strict and has many standards, which are various inspections for promotion of individual officials.
For example, some state officials, local population changes, local economy, annual grain output, etc. are all related to political achievements.
They heard what it meant. It was precisely because of this that they felt that if Wu Zhi was really made, these people would be shackled.
In this way, their treatment is not as good as before. Is that so great?
Doing this way is equivalent to Wu Zhi establishing a party himself.
Those who came from the Government Affairs Department were naturally Wu Zhi, and those who came from the imperial examinations were naturally Cai Jing’s people.
This almost divided the court into two forces to confront each other.
People from the Government Affairs Department start from the bottom and are selected and promoted by the superiors. When sent to other places, they can even be promoted all the way.
All of these are inseparable from the Government Affairs Department, but they are out of the control of Cai Jing and others.
Most of the officials at the scene attacked Wu Zhi like crazy, hoping to get Wu Zhi out.
Someone else said: "Mr. Cai, King Yan must not do this! This is absolutely impossible to establish a government affairs department!"
"Yes, these reforms of the King of Yan cannot be implemented, otherwise the Song Dynasty will inevitably cause turmoil! It is not good for the country!"
In fact, Wu Zhi only mentioned it occasionally to Song Huizong in the Department of Government Affairs, but he did not object.
In other words, as long as Wu Zhi does it well and he does whatever he wants, this is also the reason why Wu Zhi dares to say it.
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were messy before, and now the Liao Kingdom has become the territory of the Song Dynasty, so a series of rectifications must be carried out.
The reform begins from now on, and it is an opportunity.
Song Huizong also knew that if he did not support Wu Zhi, some situations in the Song Dynasty would not be able to change.
So he didn't say anything.
The civil and military officials at the scene were quarreling hotly.
On Zeng Bu's side, since Wu Zhi and him were in the same group, Zeng Bu himself always thought about reforming. No matter what he changed, Zeng Bu was very supportive of reforming the Song Dynasty.
His group of people supported the rectification of the Song Dynasty, so he was also ecstatic when he heard about Wu Zhi's series of plans.
They said before, but they also encountered opposition from many people, and Song Huizong was not so supportive, which led to those who advocated reform not taking much action and were helpless.
But now it's different.
The King of Yan came forward to reform and reform, and Song Huizong would definitely support this weight.
Only Wu Zhi said that reforms should be made, so that people with great importance could promote the changes in the Song Dynasty.
Seeing so many people oppose it, even more intense than when they proposed reforms, Zeng Bu and his group were also a little scared.
The main things proposed by Wu Zhi are more sharp, targeting the interests of scholars and officials.
I secretly thought that King Yan really dared to do it!
Anyway, they absolutely support it.
I just don't know if it can be done.
After all, Wu Zhi succeeded, and the people who came out of the Government Affairs Department in the future were all from Wu Zhi's faction. It is not a trivial matter not to be controlled by Cai Jing and others.
At this moment, Wang Fu said: "Mr. Cai, please say something. King Yan's reform is too ridiculous. You are the prime minister. Only you can give your Majesty advice!"
At this time, a censor speculated that Cai Jing would not agree and would firmly oppose it, so he stood up and wanted to please Cai Jing, because he was Cai Jing's disciple and could not run to Wu Zhi's side, so he could only seize Cai Jing's path.
At this moment, he looked excited and indignant: "Your Majesty, the new law of King Yan is not conducive to the stability of the Song Dynasty. I believe that this law must not be passed! If Your Majesty wants to implement it, I firmly oppose it, even if it is hit and killed in this hall..."
Wu Zhi's eyes flew towards this man. There were quite a few people like him. This man took the lead and immediately a group of censors stood up and expressed their desire to hit the wall to show their ambitions.
I'll wipe...
Wu Zhi was a little ashamed. These people would hit the wall at any time. Is it too fierce to object?
I didn't see you really dare to collide!
You bumped...
In fact, they were not really collide, they were just fiercely opposed to using it to please Cai Jing and pretend to behave.
Of course, some people were afraid of offending the King of Yan and did not dare to speak out.
However, when everyone thought Cai Jing was going to oppose it strongly, Cai Jing stood up: "Your Majesty, I think the reform method of King Yan is not unenforceable!"
Hearing this, a group of censors were stunned and looked at Cai Jing in shock. What's going on? Did they make a mistake?
After pretending for a long time, it didn't fit Cai Jing's intention. Wouldn't they have done it in vain?
A group of censors were extremely embarrassed and felt a little embarrassed. They retreated back to their original position, lowering their heads and stopped talking.
Song Huizong was a little surprised: "Why did Cai Aiqing say this?"
Cai Jing and Wu Zhi have always been in a strife. No one expected that they would come out to support Wu Zhi at this moment.
Cai Jing continued: "There were many rebels before the Song Dynasty, and some things did have problems. In addition, the land of Liao has returned to the Song Dynasty, and new ways of rectifying it is needed. I think I can give it a try first. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to stop!"
Wang Fu looked at Cai Jing a little unbelievable. Why did Cai Jing speak for Wu Zhi?
What's going on?
Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Li Yan, and many court officials looked shocked.
Logically speaking, Cai Jing shouldn’t come out and firmly oppose Wu Zhi’s new law?
Because Cai Jing stood up, many court officials were confused and finally defeated many court officials who were about to come out to speak.
Zeng Bu's eyes lit up. Seeing Cai Jing looking at Wu Zhi again, he understood in his heart that it was probably Wu Zhi who persuaded Cai Jing to succeed.
Or the threat was successful.
Otherwise, Cai Jing would never be so easy to talk to.
Among the court officials, although the King of Yan is powerful, Cai Jing has trained many people over the years. Many court officials have something to do with him, which is an unbreakable relationship. Even though Cai Jing is not as strong as Wu Zhi, those whose disciples were promoted and taken care of were Cai Jing's people.
They are a group and it's hard to separate.
Cai Jing supported and opposed it, but he was much smaller.
Seeing this situation, Emperor Huizong of Song stood up: "Now that the Song Dynasty annexed the Liao Kingdom, the implementation of the new law is unstoppable. For the sake of the entire Song Dynasty and the stability of the people of the world, a new law must be adopted.
This new method starts with Yanyun. If it doesn’t work, it will just be fine. If it can be done, it will gradually spread across the country. My dear friends don’t have any objections. If it doesn’t work in Yanyun’s new method, it will stop. If it is beneficial to the Song Dynasty, it will naturally not be stopped!"
After Song Huizong said a few words, Zeng Bu immediately stood up: "Your Majesty said so much! The new law is beneficial to the country and the country, and it is worth trying. Our Song Dynasty has indeed used the new law to govern it over the years!"
Zeng Bu was most excited.
How many years have he been waiting for this day?
He didn't have this energy and could not push it, but the situation of King Yan standing up at this moment is unstoppable!
Zeng Bu couldn't help but sigh that King Yan is still powerful!
Zeng Bu also said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that since it is implemented in the fief of King Yan, the Government Affairs Department will be established by the King Yan and will be in charge, which is relatively safe!"
Song Huizong nodded: "Well, this is natural. I will leave this matter to you, and you have the full responsibility for everything!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wu Zhi smiled inside.
This is equivalent to the fact that Song Huizong approved the establishment of the Government Affairs Department himself.
Chapter completed!
