After listening to Zhang Yue's words, the six ministers were thinking about it.
After the restructuring, the power of the imperial court was redistributed. For every official, the most important thing that is most concerned about and is most concerned about is official promotion.
To describe it accurately, sitting on this mountaintop and looking at that mountaintop.
If you don't move and someone else sits on the top of the hill in front of you, you will feel an inexplicable feeling in your heart.
This time, Zhang Yue's group took three of the six ministers' books at once. How could the officials in the hall not have any ideas?
But official promotion does not fall from the sky.
One is that you have to know how to worship the mountain top, and the other is that you have to look for good opportunities from every move of the court.
Over the years.
Zhang Yue can keep his word. The promise Zhang Yue made to you before, or the pie he drew for me in advance, can be fulfilled later.
If you fail again and again, the officials below will become discouraged. Officials will not take the initiative to stick to you and rely on you.
Everyone in the court knows that Zhang Yue is the master of Ma Liang, and the cake you draw is the real cake.
Never give a blank check.
Zhang Yue raised two issues, one is that the restructuring is a restructuring, but it seems that administrative efficiency has not been improved so far, and the other is that the Liao Kingdom broke the Yanmen Pass.
Zhang Yue discussed these two things together.
Han Zhongyan on the side said: "Prime Minister, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council are in charge of military affairs. Why should we combine it with the old system of the Tang Dynasty and the state? It is better to abolish the Privy Council and return the power to the Ministry of War."
"Otherwise, when the Liao Kingdom comes, how can you refuse?"
Zhang Yue glanced at Han Zhongyan. Lu Gongzhu had represented the Privy Council a few days ago to oppose the continued use of troops against Dangxiang.
This caused dissatisfaction on the part of the other party, who immediately wanted to beat him up.
In fact, before the reform, officials had suggested to the officials that the Privy Council should be abolished. However, the officials directly said that the ancestors established the Privy Council because they did not want the prime minister to be in charge of military affairs.
While speaking, the two prime ministers Zhang Yue and Wang Gui listened without saying a word.
Therefore, we still follow the old system. On major military matters, the governors of the three provinces and the Privy Council discuss and decide together, while on minor matters, the Privy Council still handles them.
The Ministry of War is only responsible for the training of rural soldiers, the records of the Xiang army, and spying on military affairs. Because after the establishment of the Six Ministers, Han Zhongyan, although a high official, has less power. The Minister of the Ministry of War is the least important among the six Ministers.
After Han Zhongyan finished speaking, several officials expressed their support for Zhang Yue's intention to merge the Privy Council into the Ministry of War. There was a strong trend of saying, "It's not too much for you, brigade commander, to have a cavalry division."
However, Zhang Yue also understands that efficiency and checks and balances are inherently contradictory.
Seeing that Zhang Yue did not express his position, Han Zhongyan said: "If that doesn't work, just leave the major matters to the Privy Council and the small matters to the Ministry of War."
Zhang Yue said: "I'm not here to discuss this with you today. Do you have any other plans?"
Han Zhongyan is now the presence of gags. In such discussions, one person sets the stage and several people sing the show, so that the real purpose does not appear so prominent and conspicuous.
Wang Anli on the side said: "Prime Minister, I have a foolish opinion."
"When Duke Huan of Qi saw the ruins of the Guo family, he once said why it came to this place. Others replied that it was because he liked good people and hated bad people (good and evil)."
"Qi Huangong asked, isn't this the foundation of one's life? Why is it so?"
"The other party replied that because of this, the good could not be used, and the evil could not be eliminated (if you like good people, you cannot promote them, and if you hate bad people, you cannot eradicate them). In the end, both good and bad people hated him, so in the end the Guo family perished.
"
"It has been half a year since the imperial court was restructured, and the system of three provinces and six ministries has been restored, such as the East Branch of the Judge and the West Branch of the Judge, Liu Neiquan, and the three branches are now merged into the Ministry of Personnel. The three divisions, Sinong Temple, and the original Hubu
And it is the current household department."
"The ministers of each ministry are in charge of the affairs of the ministry, and the ministers and ministers are in charge of the affairs. In addition, there are nine temples and five eunuchs, but why are things still slow? The reason is that there are not enough ways to reward and punish people. Can good deeds be rewarded, and bad deeds cannot be punished."
After Zhang Yue finished speaking, Li Qingchen, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said: "Prime Minister, of course rewards and punishments are good, but after the restructuring is initially decided, it is difficult to make any drastic changes!"
"Now that people have settled down, the officials below need to proceed step by step in order to understand the intentions of Lord Huanghuang. We only do one thing in one generation. It is enough if we can order the party to restrain our hands from the west and reject the Khitan from the north for a while."
As the official minister, Li Qingchen was undoubtedly the head of the six ministers and had a very important voice.
As soon as Li Qingchen finished speaking, Huang Lu said: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty, Jiacheng Zhou, established officials through affairs, and established salaries based on titles. The details of the size and size are all described. The duties are divided and the subordinates are divided. The regulations for the completion of the work are supervised by the second generation for preparation.
Qi Long."
"But after the restructuring, the various government offices still passed the blame and blocked things. How could it be in line with His Majesty Dong Zheng's wishes?"
Chen Mu also said: "Prime Minister, the affairs of the country are now divided into three provinces and divided into six ministries. Therefore, the responsibilities are based on the name and the responsibilities. However, although the general situation is good, the laws and regulations for handling it are not complete."
"In the past six months, the provincial officials' edicts have become a piece of paper when they arrive at the local level. Hundreds of officials have submitted them, and they have arrived in various ministries, Cao Cao, monasteries and prisons. Either they are written in vain to cope with them, or they have been wasted for years without any content."
"Such officials are degrading and wasting their salaries. They are really useful but useless."
After hearing this, Zhang Yue took a sip of tea and calmed down his thoughts.
In the six months since the restructuring, all yamen, big and small, have changed their official names and seem to have a completely new look, but the work procedures are still the same.
The center and the localities deal with each other's problems, and the practical things each wants the other to do become a game of words, with the top perfunctory and the bottom trying to fool the top.
Therefore, Zhang Yue was so angry that he wanted to govern the country with "righteousness". He had to reorganize the existing officials and change their blood.
Zhang Yue said: "You have seen how the restructuring has gone in half a year, but the people below are still doing nothing!"
"To tell the truth, the truth is that we are not afraid to cut off half of the officials in the world and recruit the other half! But how many people and families will cry if this happens?"
"However, if you want to govern a country, you must first govern the officials, so what can you do?"
Cai Que took a look and everyone else thought that Zhang Yue was just threatening. After all, half of the officials were actually laid off. This was something that Fan Wenzheng couldn't even think of when he cut off three redundant officials. Only he, Cai Que, knew that Zhang Yue was really
There are plans to reorganize and change the current officials.
This is also Zhang Yue's consistent method. Be prepared on both sides at the same time. If you want to threaten others, there is something real out there.
So Cai Que is not sure which one is Zhang Yue's original intention.
Cai Que said: "Prime Minister, there is something I don't understand. Your Majesty's original intention was for the three provinces to be balanced, but now all major matters are handled by Zhongshu. Why is this?"
Zhang Yue said: "The books in the Book of Documents and the disciples go back and forth with each other. Such a big matter is slow and difficult to resolve."
"So I have discussed it with Prime Minister Wang. If it is a trivial matter, we don't need to record or describe it in a negative light."
"That's it." Cai Zhen didn't say anything more. If he continued, the two of them would be at odds with each other.
Zhang Yue saw Cai Que acting like this, then he turned his head and said, "You can talk about the way of reward and punishment that You Cheng just said!"

Wang Anli, who is the right prime minister, continued: "Prime Minister, I think that in today's affairs, I am anxious to get rid of useless words and seek practical results from my actions."
"In the reign of Yao and Shun, there was a patrol for five consecutive years. During the Han Dynasty, there was a plan to do something. Now we must set limits and examine the affairs in each department and government office, and hold people responsible for the affairs!"
Li Qingchen objected: "Prime Minister, the most important thing in governing a country is perseverance."
"Although the method of testing responsibilities is good, the officials below are not convinced, and if they are not strong enough, it will be difficult to continue."
Wang Anli said: "Prime Minister, the best way to govern the world is to govern according to the law. If there is no law to hold people accountable for things, how can it be done?"
Li Qingchen said tit for tat: "Prime Minister, the rule of the world depends on people, not laws. These interpretations of magic are left to the mind. Yao cannot correct the words of a country, which is close to the fallacy of Legalism."
Huang Ludao: "Prime Minister, in the past, we were testing people, not things. We were only testing officials' moral character, but not their diligence in doing things."
"The Ministry of Household Affairs sent a message to a certain state, but it was not heard for three months. It was not until the message was issued again that it responded to the previous message, saying that it was delayed on the road. Some officials are so negligent!"
"This makes the officials all over the world feel at ease, and they are living in officialdom. Now it is necessary to avoid empty words and deal with words."
Zhang Yue listened to Huang Lu and others' discussion, but he thought a lot himself.
Wang Anli said: "Prime Minister, many of the officials below have made suggestions and suggestions, many of them are true knowledge and insights, but when it comes to the department, they all say 'yes'."
"Forgive me for being ignorant. I don't know what the word "ke" means. Should it be done? Should it be done? The last word "ke" is still shelved on the shelf, without responsibility for its consequences or effectiveness. In the end, no matter how good the plan is, it becomes a piece of paper.
"
"Even after the imperial edict was issued, the officials below were unable to do it. Although the imperial court repeatedly taught them, the officials below always behaved respectfully, but turned around and threw them aside."
Zhang Yue was also amused when he heard this.
That's what restructuring is like. The enemy you're fighting doesn't seem to be one or two specific people.
But it seems like you are fighting with the air every day.
The officials I have personally appointed and promoted over the years are relatively good, but those who are not from my own faction are not.
In fact, there are reasons for officials who disobey. For example, capable officials such as Su refused Huaye's request to cross the river three times. No one would dare, but in the end they still respected Su's request.
Because this is respect for ability, such objection is allowed.
But the problem with the Song Dynasty is that the following people have too little execution ability.
Therefore, after Zhang Yue made the initial decision on the restructuring, he resorted to the Ming Dynasty's "test method".
Just like when you build a car, what you built before was a car. The test method is like an engine. Without internal and external cooperation, it will not work.
Things must be done step by step, and meals must be eaten one bite at a time.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue said solemnly: "I think Wang Youcheng's idea is feasible. It is not difficult to legislate the affairs of the world, but it is difficult to implement the law; it is not difficult to listen to what is said, but it is difficult to ensure that the words are effective!"
The officials below listened in awe.
"If you inquire about things without considering the end, and start things without careful consideration, even if you make a sage king and know his ministers, it will not be enough to achieve results!"
"How can we make sure what we say is true and what we do is sure to bring results? I think this method is feasible!"
…
What Zhang Yue said in the capital hall that day was copied into the Di newspaper.
And Wang Anshi, who is retiring in Zhongshan, is sitting next to his donkey and reading slowly.
When he read, "It is not difficult to legislate the affairs of the world, but it is difficult to implement them; it is not difficult to listen to words, but it is difficult to ensure that words are effective!"
Wang Anshi couldn't help but trembled, and said to himself: "This is a very good way to pass the exam!"
"Why didn't I think of it before?"
After saying this, Wang Anshi's regret was evident in his words.
