I became the son of Renzong

Zhao Xi hopes to be as thorough as possible, and also hopes that the cabinet can understand more.

Perhaps compared with the previous cabinet, this one is a little more radical, but it is not so unscrupulous.

Zhao Xi still believes that the cabinet can properly handle the formulation of the team strategy of the four princes to the cabinet.

This is just a free move, and it can also test the reaction of Beiliao... The issue of sea power is not considered important in this era, whether it is Guochao or Beiliao.

……

There is never an end to government affairs, either this or that.And because of the changes in the country and dynasty in recent years, everything has become more and more complicated, whether it is the local area or the court.

It's just that some things can be decided by the chief official of the imperial court, some need to be discussed by the specific responsible yamen, some can be decided by the cabinet, and some need to be agreed by the cabinet.

However, all affairs, as long as the report reaches the court level, it needs to be reviewed by the king.

This is still the situation after Zhao Xi implemented the three-level decision-making system. If the system in the early years was put aside, a king would not have any leisure time at all.

It's not that Zhao Xi is lazy. In Zhao Xi's view, if all the affairs of a dynasty are decided by one person, it's not just a matter of exhausting the decision-maker. It's the process itself that indicates the end of the government.

Zhao Xi didn't want that.

Therefore, it is definitely a major event that can be discussed by the cabinet and the king now.For example, the question of when Guochao and Beiliao will fight.

As for other things that require the king's approval... Zhao Xi rarely changes the conclusions of the cabinet and the six ministries and nine ministers. To a certain extent, the current court office has adapted to or fully understood Zhao Xi's ruling philosophy.

In today's imperial court, the heads of the various yamen of the imperial court rarely bother the officials.

Zhao Xi wanted to know about the country, mostly through the form of repayment.

Although it is impossible to promote the so-called freedom of speech at present... In fact, there is no absolute freedom of speech at any time.

Relatively speaking, the current state still has a certain degree of freedom of speech. After all, anyone who can speak out in newspapers can be regarded as a scholar, and it can also be classified as a scholar class.

Zhao Xi is also advocating a certain degree of freedom of speech in a subtle way.

Therefore, Zhao Xi raised the right to dispose of the return of the country to the court level, that is to say, the local prefectures and counties are not allowed to interfere with the operation of the return of the local prefectures.

Moreover, the right to dispose of the repayment was handed over to the internal reference, that is, it was merged with the supervisory office.

In this way, scholars are also given the right to criticize local governance, and at the same time have certain supervision.

Of course, the general understanding of the country is that the supervisory office is the emperor's pro-army, which means that the officials are the only ones who decide to resist the speech.

Zhao Xi hopes that in this way, he can understand the entire kingdom to a certain extent.

Today's king's secretary supervisor is already a huge team. It is no longer just three or five people messing around like in the early days of the kingdom, simply recording official speeches.

Today's secretaries need to screen out the information needed by the officials, or the content related to the government of the country, from the reports of all the state capitals, counties and counties of the country.

In this way, Zhao Xi has three lines of supervision over the entire country, the Imperial City Division, the Supervisory Office, and the private reporting.

"Officials, the internal reference once compiled a request to see..."

Zeng Bu is now the editor-in-chief of the internal reference, and he has the discretion to simply report matters of speech when it does not involve the supervision of the general yamen.

In other words, the editor-in-chief of the internal reference is more like the helm of the country's public opinion, and the internal reference is more and more like a government office.

However, Zeng Bu seldom played correctly alone, or none at all.

In the past, Cai Que was an internal counselor, and he often joined in the fun, following Fan Chunren to meddle in the government... All cabinet discussions must be attended by the chief inspector who supervises the yamen.

However, since Zeng Bu became an internal counselor, perhaps because of the rapid development of the country and the court, which made him busy with his affairs, or perhaps because of his different ways of doing things, he rarely appeared on the scene of cabinet discussions.

Unless Fan Chunren, or the cabinet is present by name.

As for meeting officials alone, even less.

Today, Zhao Xi was a little surprised that he left the cabinet and the General Supervisory Office and had an audience alone.

It is estimated that it should be pure, about things like boycotting speeches.

Zhao Xi also pays attention to public opinion, not to mention that the imperial court has plans to fight against the Liao Dynasty, so they don't want any noise from the public opinion.

Zhao Xi originally thought about summoning Zeng Bu for a while and asking him to pay attention to this issue.I didn't expect myself to come.

"The minister knocked on the official's house..."

"Oh...give me a seat...~Zixuan, sit down and talk..."

Except for the elders, other ministers and workers still need to be granted a seat by the official.

"Officials, there is an article that the Jingzhao government did not dare to make a decision on, and asked the internal counselor for instructions. After reading it, I don't know how to deal with it..."

Zeng Bu is very clear that public opinion belongs to the government, and all the reports of the state are the mouthpiece of the government, or the mouthpiece of the court, and Zeng Bu is also aware of this.

In this regard, after Zeng Bu took the post of internal counselor, he stipulated that all articles related to the imperial court must be submitted to the internal counselor for review.

Zhao Xi recognized this provision, and even endorsed Zeng Bu with an edict.

Unexpectedly, there were articles that even Zeng Bu could not decide.

"Oh, who is the author? At what level is the article written? What is the article talking about? Or who is criticizing? Or criticizing officials who are too high-ranking?"

Zhao Xi thought about it, and it was only these few possibilities that made it difficult for Zeng Bu to make a decision.

"Officials, this writer's name is Zong Ze, Zong Rulin. He didn't write in a fixed state capital, or this writer is on a study tour."

"After seeing this article, I compared his name and found many articles by him. In the past, they were all articles about traveling and learning, or about local customs and customs."

"This time, it is a long article on the strategy of the country and the DPRK. I dare not make judgments."

Zhao Xi was fascinated when he heard the name, and he didn't listen to what Zeng Bu said later, and he didn't even notice that the inner eunuch had already presented the manuscript brought by Zeng Bu...

Zong Ze, a name Zhao Xi is familiar with, is actually a writer.

Chapter 850 It Doesn't Feel Good To Decide On Life And Death

Think about it, at this time, it will be four or fifty years before the Song Dynasty moved south, and it will be four or fifty years before the most tragic event of the Zhao clan.

Zhao Xi's surname is Zhao, and the original him is also surnamed Zhao, and he is even an authentic descendant of the Zhao family, so how can he forget the most unbearable shame.

Zhao Xi used to feel ashamed every time he talked about this incident when he was in school. He even felt that the teachers and classmates at that time looked at him differently.

In the first lunar month counting 40 years from this year, the Jurchen dynasty established by the Jurchens who are still being abused by the Khitans of the Northern Liao Dynasty will send a large army to the city of Bianjing 40 years later to force the country to negotiate peace.

And the king of the Song Dynasty of the Zhao family has no strength to stand up...

Jurchen asked for 500 million taels of gold and 5000 million taels of silver coins, and ceded the three towns of Zhongshan, Hejian, and Taiyuan.
