"Mr. Yuandu, is the promotion of the political reform plan in progress?" Zhao Si asked Cai Bian, who was sitting at a table on the left in the east study room of Chongzheng Palace.
"Your Majesty," Cai Bian put down his pen and replied respectfully: "Currently, the two major events that the missionary department is fully taking the lead are: the propaganda of Buddhism's purification of evil and the correction of evil, and the second, the propaganda of the political reform plan. The propaganda of Buddhism's purification will begin in June.
It progressed in an orderly manner. It reached its peak in September after the Xiangguo Temple case was finalized. After that, the people's support was settled and it weakened by five points."
"The political reform plan has been advancing since the draft was officially promulgated in May. After the plan was officially finalized in October, it has been promoted as the most important work."
"Well," Zhao Si stood up and invited Cai Bian: "Mr. Yuandu, you have been sitting for a long time, do you want to go for a walk together?"
"It's Your Majesty."
The two of them left the Dongyu Study Room, first put on a fox fur coat in the conservatory, and then walked out slowly, walking slowly in the yard behind Chongzheng Hall.
"Has the disposal plan for Xiangguo Temple been finalized?"
"The Ministry of Rites has made a plan. Xiangguo Temple will be moved to the north side of the city and merged with Kaibao Temple there, which was sealed for committing illegal activities. It will be renamed Shifang Bao Temple."
"Shifang Baosha... Huh, these flower monks... monks who abide by the law cannot be wronged or ignored. Buddhism still has its role in appeasing people's hearts and resolving grievances. No matter how hard we try, this
There will still be unfairness and unjust things in the world, and there will always be conflicts between the government and the people, the rich and the poor. Buddhism is a good medicine."
"Your Majesty, I understand. Buddhism just fulfills its duties and cannot exceed them, just like civil and military officials and many government agencies."
"That's the truth. The original place of Xiangguo Temple cannot be wasted."
"Replying to your majesty, the main part of the place left by Xiangguo Temple has been changed to Zhongmartyr Shrine. Zhang Jizhong wants to take over the rest, saying that it will be turned into Kaifeng No. 1 School. However, it is said in the new system of the Ministry of Rites that education is divided into national education and higher education.
and vocational education.”
"Those with national education are called schools, which are divided into primary schools and middle schools; those with higher education majors are called colleges, and those with comprehensive education are called universities. Therefore, they were changed to Kaifeng No. 1 Primary School and Kaifeng No. 1 Middle School."
"Xiangguo Temple is big enough, so it won't be too crowded if divided into three parts."
As Zhao Si spoke, he raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was all gray and white, and it was hard to tell whether it was a dark cloud or a cloudy sky. The biting cold wind couldn't blow them away no matter what.
"It's going to snow soon. Are the relief centers in Kaifeng City and Henan County ready?"
"Zhang Jizhong has submitted the documents and everything is ready. Over in Henan County, some prefectures and counties are still lacking."
"The governor of Henan is the prime minister of Fengji and Fengji?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. He was recommended by Duke Fan Zhong, An Houqing An Tao, Han Shipu, Han Zhongyan and others, and was promoted from the magistrate of Hangzhou. He is honest, hard-working and upright, and is praised as 'clear as water, as balanced as a balance'."
After hearing these words, Zhao Si turned around and looked at Cai Bian with a half-smile, which made Cai Bian feel a little numb.
Alas, the officials are so smart and sharp, many times more powerful than the previous officials. My little thoughts were seen through at a glance.
"'Clear as water, as balanced as balance', then he should not be a political officer who is close to the people, but a judicial officer who supervises the law. Mr. Yuandu, please consult with Zhang and move to the admonishment platform first. My new system
Here, the Metropolitan Procuratorate... Well, I heard that this Feng Xiangzhi is a close friend of Chen Cisheng, Chen Guan and Ren Boyu? "
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
"Birds of a feather flock together. Then move to Dali Temple first. Dali Temple's young minister happens to be short of one."
"Here."
Cai Bian responded, his expression unchanged, but his heart was turbulent.
In the new official system, civil servants were divided into political officers and judicial officers.
Political officers are divided into government affairs officers and affairs officers. They are all officials who are close to the people, including officials from various ministries and departments in Shangshu Province and local counties, prefectures and counties.
The judicial officers were in Menxia Province, divided into the Procuratorate and Dali Temple.
Correspondingly, judicial officers are different, and they are divided into prosecutors and judges. Prosecutors are the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, supervising the implementation of prosecutorial laws; judges are the magistrates of Dali Temple and local places, and they judge cases according to the law.
Prosecutors and judges do not need to be directly close to the people; they have more to do with officials, large and small.
According to Fengji's moral character, if he became a prosecutor, he would probably still follow the previous habit of censors and admonishing officials, which is completely contrary to the official's requirement to supervise the law in accordance with the law.
Simply transfer him to Dali Temple and become a judge.
Investigate all testimonies and evidence, and judge the case in accordance with the law. Don't complain even if you want to. Aren't you "as clear as water and as balanced as a balance"? This is the most appropriate thing.
Officials not only have a very detailed understanding of the situation of civil and military officials, but also know how to "use them according to their talents."
Cai Bian lowered his head and followed Zhao Si around, when a secretary came over.
"Your Majesty, this is a memorial involving the late Emperor, the Queen Mother and Queen Chong'en. Min Xingge did not dare to neglect it and asked Wei Chen to send it over."
Zhao Si took it and read it carefully. At first everything was as usual, but after reading it twice, his face became a little ugly.
"Mr. Yuandu, take a look." Zhao Si handed the memorial to Cai Bian, and then said to the secretary: "Invite Zhang Xiang... um, and Fan Zhonggong, and the Ministry of Rites of Han."
"Here!"
Cai Bian quickly read the memorial.
The article is not long and the content is concise. It is that there is only one month left before New Year's Eve in the third year of Yuanfu, and the robe sacrifice on the day before New Year's Eve is the most solemn sacrifice in the Imperial Ancestral Temple of the year.
Therefore, I request the officials to give a title to the late Emperor of Temple Temple, a title to the late Emperor of Zhe Temple, a title to Queen Mother Zhu of Shengci Palace, a title to Queen Mother Zhu of Qingshou Palace, a title to Queen Meng of Longyou Palace, and a title to Queen Mother Liu of Chongen Palace.
Your Majesty the Queen...
It seems reasonable. But the danger is hidden in this calmness.
Cai Bian looked at the signatures. The leader was Quan Zongyuan, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. He was a famous scholar and Mr. Yichuan's favorite disciple. Looking at the countersignatures, there were Ren Boyu and others.
I have a good idea.
But what Cai Bian didn't expect was that the young official could actually see the pitfalls in this.
"Mr. Yuando, go back to Dongyu's study."
"yes."
After waiting for a while, Zhang Dun, Fan Chunren, and Han Zhongyan arrived one after another.
Zhao Si didn't say much and handed the memorial to the three of them.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Dun asked hesitantly: "I wonder what your Majesty has decided?"
Zhao Si stood up and walked slowly in the study, releasing the anger in his heart.
"These old masters bullied me too much! Do you think they can tie my hands and feet by digging a hole for me with courtesy?"
Cai Bian, Zhang Dun, Fan Chunren, and Han Zhongyan are all old foxes and have already understood the problems in this memorial.
They looked at each other and remained silent.
"Brother and brother, these people insist on this point, and in the name of filial piety, they encourage me to give honorary titles to the emperor's brother and the emperor's wife! Do you think I don't see it? They want me to be led by the nose.
I secretly issued an imperial edict to let everyone in the world understand that my throne is inherited from my brother!"
Zhao Si's gaze was like a knife, sweeping over Cai, Zhang, Fan and Han.
"I am the emperor, so I cannot go against God's will! That is to say, even if I am the emperor, I cannot object to the source of the imperial power in my hands! If I admit to the world that my throne and imperial power come from my brother, then not only the two
Even the Queen Mother is superior to me. Even the two royal sisters-in-law look like the Queen Mother and are above me. The word "filial piety" can tie me to death!"
After Zhao Si said his words word by word, the hearts of Cai and Zhang could not help but beat wildly.
They finally confirmed that the officials really understood everything.
But the official throne was indeed taken over from the late Emperor Zhemiao, his imperial brother. This seems to be an unsolvable situation!
"Brother's great ambition has not been fulfilled, and the middle road collapsed before Shao Sheng was half way through. Today, there are three points, internal and external troubles, and the survival of this sincerity is in danger. I inherited the great cause of my father, inherited the great ambition of my brother, Shao Sheng Shao, inspirational
Tuqiang..."
After hearing Zhao Si read loudly, the eyes of Cai and Zhang could not help but beat wildly.
Good guy, this is the direct definition of the official family. He inherited the great cause of his father, and the emperor's brother inherited the great ambition.
Great cause and great ambition are completely different things.
"Mr. Yuando, please help polish this edict."
"Here."
"In addition, I want to make some changes in this year's Ancestral Ancestral Temple Ceremony. In addition to giving honorary titles to my father, I will posthumously give Duke Fan Wenzheng the title of King of Wei; Duke Wang Jing will be given the posthumous title of Wencheng, and posthumously give it to the Prince of Yuzhang County, so that we can enjoy the Ancestral Temple together."
Fan Chunren burst into tears and loudly said: "Old minister, thank you, Your Majesty!" This chapter has been completed!
