How do you say that sentence to the visitor?
Globalization and free trade are the only way out for the 12th century; financial innovation is a dead end.
As for the current situation, when money and food gradually become less of a problem, military action will become a matter of course. This matter was quickly approved, almost by default.
There is also the establishment of six departments. To be honest, the key point of the discussion on this matter was a little beyond Zhao Jiu's expectations.
Originally, Zhao Jiu thought that although the matter was proposed by the Minister of Revenue Lin Jingmo, the other ministers might not agree with it, because this kind of thing, in addition to playing a supervisory role, is obviously beneficial for the prime minister to control the six ministries... However, unexpectedly, the six ministries did not have much objection, but a fierce dispute broke out over the issue of who would control this new supervisory department.
The provincial capital, the Privy Council, and the Censorate all cited classics and believed that they should be in control.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a while.
Of course, this is another case of Zhao Jiu's ignorance... Historically, the six departments and related evaluation and supervision systems were established for central government officials in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the prime minister was a position in name only, and the cabinet was nominally just the emperor's secretariat, the same as the Hanlin academicians, while the six ministries were long-term departments with real power, so there has always been a dispute between the cabinet and the ministries.
But in the Song Dynasty, it was just the opposite. From the perspective of the political tradition of the Song Dynasty, the political status of the prime minister was unquestionable, but it took only a few years for the six ministries to gain real power.
Therefore, the current situation has arisen - the six ministries themselves have no objection, but in fact the two ministries of the East and the West, which have prime ministers in charge, and the Censorate, which has almost half a prime minister, are arguing fiercely.
This is something that must be resolved before the southern tour.
But compared to expanding the army, it should be very simple... Once it's sorted out, Emperor Zhao can just say one word.
Finally, there is the Southern Tour. There is not much to say about this matter. At the grand court meeting, the proposal made by Hanlin scholar Lu Benzhong in the memorial slightly gave everyone a low profile... and there was no fierce opposition.
Just like that, after all the calculations and chaos, when the court was dismissed, all the officials could not help but have their own thoughts and returned to their respective departments.
At this time, Gou Longruyuan, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works who had just returned to his official residence, was shocked to find the documents of transfer from the capital province on his desk, as well as the order from Emperor Zhao asking him to investigate the mastermind behind Hu Yin's unfilial trend.
The edict was written in strong language, and at the end it was signed with the imperial handwriting of Emperor Zhao, "Zhao Jiu of Cangzhou", plus the authentic seal of the emperor, and the outer layer to which the edict and documents were attached were all exactly the same without the need for stickers.
Gou Longruyuan certainly knew what this meant - it meant that this decree represented the will of the highest power in the empire.
The imperial power, and the only highest representatives of the bureaucratic system that could nominally impose some restrictions on it, have reached a consensus on this issue.
The afternoon in June during the hottest season may be the hottest time of the year, and the wind in the air is hot.
Gou Longruyuan, former Left Vice Minister of Works and current Minister of Dali Temple, sat in his own public housing, first he was frightened and sweating, then he paced back and forth in hesitation and fear, and finally he was motionless after his whole body turned cold... As smart as he was, how could he not know that his actions had been exposed?
However, even so, the new Chief Justice of the Dali Temple still spent a whole afternoon forcing himself to face reality, because he did not dare to admit that Emperor Zhao wanted to kill him.
This conclusion is too sensational.
The sun gradually set. Deep in the street across the street, a bell suddenly rang in the Daxiangguo Temple, announcing the end of the duty for the officials on both sides of the Imperial Street. It also made Gou Longruyuan, who had been pondering in the public house for a long time, react. He threw down the order and forced himself to walk out of the public house with reason. He first came to a public house under the opposite corridor and called out He Zhu, the right vice minister of the Ministry of Works. Then, under the watchful eyes of the officials on duty, they went into the public house in the middle of the Ministry of Works courtyard.
The door of this public housing unit has always been open to anyone because it was the public housing unit of the Minister of Works, Hu Yin.
Hu Mingzhong had no intention of leaving his shift and going home immediately after hearing the bell. He raised his head from the table full of documents and first glanced at Gou Longruyuan, who looked pale and motionless. He then lowered his head to look at the documents on the table, signed his name, and then looked up again.
This time, he saw He Zhu, who was following behind Gou Longruyuan with an obviously confused look on his face, so he bowed slightly as a courtesy.
In the public housing, several clerks who had packed up their things swiftly placed two chairs opposite Hu Shang's desk, and then tactfully left their shift and went home. For a moment, there were only three senior officials sitting around a table in the public housing.
Hu Yin's expression did not change, he just sat upright and looked at the two people in front of him; He Zhu was puzzled for a moment, so he looked at Gou Long Ruyuan who had called him.
Gou Longruyuan, who looked pale, hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly, "Minister Hu, the emperor has ordered me to transfer to the position of Dali Temple Minister to investigate the case of your false accusation... The emperor's meaning is that there must be someone like Wang Ciweng behind this case, and I must find him out and punish him severely."
Minister He was stunned for a moment, and he finally understood why Gou Longruyuan called him over, but for a moment he didn't know whether he should congratulate Gou Longruyuan, express sympathy to Hu Yin, or express his opinions on the case.
Finally, the Right Vice Minister of Works simply looked at Minister Hu Yin without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, Hu Yin's expression did not change at all, he just nodded slightly... It was obvious that just as He Zhu thought, this trusted minister of the emperor, who was willing to protect his life at the cost of his own life, must have known about this matter a long time ago.
