A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Why is the Privy Council important in this world? Because the officials and the world's scholar-bureaucrats need the Privy Council to suppress the warriors and suppress their ambitions."

In the check-in room, Wen Yanbo's voice was gentle, "I am optimistic about you. When I step down, you will definitely take over. Do you know why?"

Feng Jing, whose face was bruised and swollen, shook his head, his expression indifferent, but he could see some excitement.

When others said this, he would regard it as fart, but Wen Yanbo was different. The former Prime Minister's skills were so outstanding that everyone believed that he would not stay in the Privy Council for a long time.

When he ascends to the Political Hall, who will be left vacant as Privy Councilor?

According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, the departing person can make suggestions for his successor, and officials will value his suggestions.

This is due to professionalism.

A privy councilor who has been serving for several years is leaving. He knows very well what kind of abilities a successor needs, so the person who makes suggestions is probably the most suitable.

What the king has to do is to remove the selfishness from his suggestions before making a decision.

Wen Yanbo glanced at him and said with a smile: "The political affairs hall is occupied by Han Qi and others. Water can't be poured in, but you can't underestimate the emperor. Under such a situation, the emperor will be worried about the people in the political affairs hall." Join forces? It's not about treason, but... to suppress the emperor."

Feng Jing was shocked, "Ms. sir..."

Wen Yanbo said calmly: "You don't know, this is a common thing. In the world, whenever the emperor was strong, the prime minister would bow his head. When the emperor was weak, the prime minister would take over more power. This is a trade-off between one and the other. The power cannot be shaken by anyone. Therefore, the Privy Council is very important. We can control the Political Affairs Hall in the Privy Council. As long as I suggest that you take over, the officials will probably hesitate, but in the end they will choose you."

This is an explanation of the rules for the appointment of top bosses from the perspective of the emperor's checks and balances.

Feng Jing felt that he had benefited a lot. He stood up and handed over his hands, "Thank you, sir. It's just that on the Privy Council side, Shen An has always said that he wants military personnel to help. Those military personnel..."

Wen Yanbo pressed his hand and motioned for him to sit down, "What are you worried about? It turns out that those warriors become timid as time goes by. It's no wonder that others don't dare to speak..."

Feng Jing nodded, then touched the bruise on the corner of his mouth, "That's fine."

Warriors are always a trouble, and Feng Jing always feels uncomfortable when they are around.

"It's just that it was Shen An's suggestion to let warriors enter the Privy Council. Now that it's all gone, will he..." Feng Jing covered his lips, thinking of the beating that night, he couldn't help but cry without tears.

At that time, he learned that he was almost pushed out to have sex with his father-in-law and became cannon fodder. Naturally, he felt extremely unhappy, so he made an appointment to have fun in a brothel.

For many men, the way to relieve depression is to drink wine and have beautiful women. Wine can anesthetize their nerves, while beautiful women can stimulate and relax their bodies.

But he was unlucky enough to meet Shen An, and he was beaten violently when he was caught.

At that time, he vowed to kill Shen An until death.

But when I thought about it afterwards, I realized that it was Shen An who was trying to save him.

Shen An is the big boss of the new party. After being beaten up by this big boss, Feng Jing is now a rookie of the old party. No one can deny it?

Why?

The enemy of our enemy is our friend.

The person Shen An beat up was naturally a die-hard old party member.

This principle applies to both ancient and modern times.

So those people who were ready to use Feng Jing to redeem their money stopped.

A certain person actually wants to be grateful to Shen An, that’s enough!

Wen Yanbo smiled and said: "Why are you worried about this? Although Shen An is proud of it, he can't even think of reaching in if I am in the Privy Council for a day."

This is the confidence of a boss.

Feng Jing nodded.

"Ms. sir."

A clerk came in from outside and said, "Ms. sir, the new ones are here according to the order."

Du Chengzhi of the Privy Council was turned into cannon fodder by the fire bomb incident. Wen Yanbo appointed several candidates and was waiting for Zhao Shu's appointment.

"Oh, let him come." Wen Yanbo smiled.

But Feng Jing wanted to stand up and greet him.

Du Chengzhi is the head of the Privy Council officials. In later generations, he would probably be a secretary-general-like existence.

Wen Yanbo picked up the tea cup, which was a gesture.

As a Privy Councilor, whether he wanted to or not, he had to give the newcomers a dignified signal.

Be respectful, newcomer, or I will deal with you!

This method, which is close to a demonstration, is similar to the method used by tigers to divide their territory.

Tigers will mark their territory by scratching tree trunks and peeing. When outsiders see the scratches on the tree trunks, they will naturally feel fear and run away quickly when they smell the strong smell of urine.

And Wen Yanbo used his own pressure to divide the territory.

Young man, this is my place, please be careful.

But when he saw the person coming in, Wen Yanbo broke through.

"My lower official, Wang Shao, has met my husband and Deputy Envoy Feng."

It's actually Wang Shao?

Something was rolling in Wen Yanbo's mind, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He subconsciously thought of Zhao Shu.

This is probably the official method, used to check and balance me.

There were other thoughts running in his mind, but he was saying different words, "You have accepted the decree. From now on, you will have to watch over many affairs of the Privy Council, and you must not slack off."

"Yes." Wang Shao looked very polite, but his sharp eyes told Wen Yanbo that this was a famous general.

"Go ahead."

After Wang Shao left, Wen Yanbo smiled bitterly and said: "The officials want to check and balance the Privy Council."

On the contrary, Feng Jing became calm, "Yes, the officials will definitely not sit back and watch the Privy Council become our place, so they sent Wang Shao. It's just that Wang Shao doesn't know what his temper is. If he has the temper of a military man... it will be lively."

"I'm just afraid of Shen An!" Wen Yanbo suddenly realized that he was actually afraid of Shen An, "Wang Shao was the first person to formally join his sect. He kowtowed in public and celebrated with banquets... But Wang Shao also lived up to his high expectations. He became famous in the northwest, I..."

He slumped and held his forehead, "That Shen An calmly accepted several young talents. No, although I don't want to admit it, I still have to say that Shen An's ability to teach people is unparalleled in this world.

Look at that Tang Ren. He was just an inconspicuous official in the Privy Council. But after being taught a lot by Shen An, he worked as an official everywhere. When he came back, he was completely different.

Now that Tang Ren is doing very smoothly in the bank, the next three secretaries will definitely be his. "

Wen Yanbo was very melancholy.

"There is also Chang Jianren." Feng Jing thought of the painter, "This is a model of a civil servant turning into a military general, a capable person praised by officials personally. The navy will probably be handed over to him to lead the navy in the future."

"horrible!"

Wen Yanbo looked squarely at Shen An for the first time, which meant that he regarded him as a real opponent.

"Who has been in his family recently... Zhang Dun? A madman who won the Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou's career but refused to succumb to his nephew, so he gave up the official position and returned home." Wen Yanbo felt that Shen An had a pair of wise eyes and could Discover those rough gems.

"Zhang Dun beat Shangguan, but Shen An took care of it." Feng Jing suddenly felt envious of Zhang Dun.

When he almost became cannon fodder a while ago, his father-in-law Fu Bi was unable to protect himself and was unable to help him. In the end, he relied on Shen An's beating to save him.

But look at Zhang Dun, a lunatic. Shen An is willing to use his own merits to cover things like beating Shangguan, which is enviable!

"Pay attention to Wang Shao." Wen Yanbo narrowed his eyes slightly, with a glimmer of light in his eyes, "Don't let him mess up the Privy Council."

"yes."

…

"I've seen it, and I agree."

The officials of the Privy Council came to see the superior.

As the first person under the Privy Envoy and Deputy Envoy, Wang Shao's arrival gave a different signal.

Wang Shao waited for them to introduce themselves one by one, and then said: "The Privy Council has important responsibilities. Each room must focus on its own affairs and not slack off."

"Yes." The fourth room of the Privy Council responded.

Wang Shao looked at the crowd and forced a smile, "Today is a promising era. The Song Dynasty is aggressive in foreign affairs and constantly using troops. The Privy Council has the power to mobilize troops. This requires a pair of discerning eyes. Which army is suitable for this? Which armies are not suitable for the first expedition need to be screened one by one for the emperor’s reference.”

Military training and the Privy Council have nothing to do with each other, but troop deployment is their business. This is the Song Dynasty's version of checks and balances. The Ming Dynasty in the future also had such checks and balances. In a word, it was to let civilian officials check and balance the military men and prevent the military men from plotting rebellion.

But it is not easy to fulfill your duties. For example, the Privy Council is responsible for deploying troops, but do you know which imperial army is suitable?

Wang Shao took a look and saw mostly confusion. He suddenly became angry and said: "From now on, everyone must clearly explain their own affairs. Officials from various ministries come here to explain. If the answer is not what they asked, they will not be able to answer the question." That’s… that’s dereliction of duty!”

This is the rule for a new official to have three things to do when he takes office.

But Wang Shao has never acted like this.

He's setting fire to it.

Exploded.

The Privy Council immediately exploded.

The newly appointed Du Chengzhi actually asked all ministers to report on their duties and conduct assessments. Those who failed to pass were all judged as dereliction of duty.

Damn it!

This person who lacks great virtue is really crazy!

How many officials are there these days who know all the affairs of their own department?

If there are, they are capable officials.

The news reached Wen Yanbo, and he was also dumbfounded.

"It's so..."

No one has ever organized the administration of officials so intensely, and even had to report on their duties one by one and have to conduct assessments.

"Ms. sir..."

Several of Wen Yanbo's confidants looked at him eagerly, like little puppies waiting to be fed.

"Are you afraid that you won't be able to pass this test?" Wen Yanbo asked. UU Reading www. uukanshu.netｔ

These people lowered their heads in acquiescence.

They are all mediocre officials!

Wen Yanbo felt cold in his heart, waved his hand, and then summoned Feng Jing.

"This method is very familiar." Feng Jing stroked his beard and thought for a moment, "Ms. sir, think about Shen An back then."

Wen Yanbo suddenly realized, "Yes, when Shen An entered the Privy Council, he punished all the officials in the four rooms. Now that his disciples are here, they still refuse to give up."

"But Wang Shao's methods are tougher."

"How about..." Feng Jing suggested: "Press it down?"

Wen Yanbo nodded, "Let's try it."

He called someone over, "Go and talk to Wang Shao and tell him to act with caution."

This means that Wang Shao was too radical in his actions.

The man went to convey Wen Yanbo's words. Wang Shao was evaluating his subordinates. When he saw that all of his subordinates were happy, he said: "Eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. These people get money and food every month. This is the official and official family." After signing a contract, they should do their part in accordance with the contract.

But some people just take money and food and do nothing. What should these people do? If you don't take it away, will you keep it for free? "

Freeloader!

Boom!

These words echoed in the Privy Council, and the mediocre officials were trembling.

No one has ever proposed such a metaphor so pointedly, directly comparing mediocre and derelict officials to freeloading fools.

What is even more frightening is that Wang Shao used the metaphor of a businessman's contract and regarded the official family as the big boss, and the officials below were all small businessmen who had signed a contract with him.

Small businessmen must act in accordance with the contract, otherwise it will be a breach of contract!

Once this is said, who dares to argue?

The officialdom of Bianliang was shocked!
