    Chapter 284 Reform Although Zhao Yu left, the court meeting still had to be held.  As the supervisor of the country, Li Gang stood beside the dragon chair. There were also eunuchs shouting next to him: "If you have a book, you can go to the court, but if you don't have a book, you can retreat." According to the original rule of the country, it was usually the prince, prince, or minister.  Few examples of censorship.  Zhao Yu did not have a heir apparent, so he obviously did not have enough faith in the character and ability of the princes, so he appointed a prime minister to supervise the country. Of course, this was not the first time in history that a prime minister temporarily supervised the country.  "Officials have their roots" comes from Ouyang.  "Come here" Ouyang said: "Bashu Qiang people are dissatisfied with the king's rule. First they imprisoned our imperial envoys of the Song Dynasty, and now they attacked our border trade of the Song Dynasty. Not only are they not grateful to our Song Dynasty for taking care of them over the years, but they also retaliate for kindness and harm our people of the Song Dynasty.  "They are causing trouble. Therefore, I believe that we should send troops immediately to suppress them." Li Gang said, "Your Majesty told us before leaving that we should figure out a way to deal with the Qiang people first." Ouyang said, "Li Xiang said.  , Now the Qiang people are arrogant and domineering. If we don't send troops to encircle and suppress them, I'm afraid that when His Majesty comes back in more than half a year, it will not only harm one side, but also worsen the border conflicts. " Li Gang thought for a while and said: "Even so, I still need to inform Your Majesty first.  , Your Majesty will make the decision. Besides, we don¡¯t have the right to mobilize troops.¡± ¡°Well¡± Ouyang thought for a while and turned around: ¡°As a supervisor, Li Gang hesitates and dares not make a decision or take responsibility.  Responsibility. Therefore, the Prime Minister implores all ministers to agree to open a meeting and let everyone vote on whether Prime Minister Li will hand over the power of supervising the country." "" Li Gang was stunned. He did not expect Ouyang to target him.  It is true that Ouyang is right. Zhao Yu appointed Li Gang as the supervisor of the country. Li Gang must be responsible for this kind of memorial and can no longer kick the ball to Zhao Yu.  Ouyang said: "After investigation, the Qiang people are only about 4,000 people, and the young and strong people are only 2,000 people. But I am forcing the Song Dynasty, which has 50 million people, to be patient. What is the truth? Since Li Xiang dare not make a decision  , please also give up the power to supervise the country. The Prime Minister will definitely make a troop dispatch plan and implement it after approval by all the courtiers." A minister said: "Prime Minister Ou is right. Those who supervise the country cannot shirk their responsibilities.  Those who do practical things should also ask Prime Minister Li to agree to supervise the country's power at court. "Although the emperor has asked Prime Minister Li to supervise the country, the results of the court meeting can be reported to the emperor. No matter what the result is, I will see that the emperor will not disapprove."  " Li Gang saw that the people below were ready to take action, and then he realized that this was a premeditated seizure of power. However, Li Gang would not think about Ouyang's rebellion, because the supervisory country did not have the power to send troops.  Even if we want to send troops, we need the emperor's approval.  Li Gang asked himself that he did not have the courage to mobilize the army to attack the Qiang people, but at the same time he agreed with Ouyang that he could not wait for Zhao Yu to return before dealing with the Qiang people.  Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "There will be a meeting tomorrow to see who will supervise the country." Zhao Yu was not far away. If Zhao Yu felt that Ouyang was messing around, he could handle it with just one sentence.   Li Gang made a speech: "The emperor traveled far and asked his ministers to supervise the country. He just wanted to stabilize the place and avoid any more disputes. When the court is stable, the people will naturally be stable" Ouyang then said: "The people must be supported and the bandits must be suppressed. If we don't  Pay attention to the opinions of businessmen and ordinary people. When they are bullied, who can they turn to? We can¡¯t whitewash the situation, and we can¡¯t tolerate troubles. We must be realistic and find ways to solve today¡¯s problems. It doesn¡¯t just mean solving them today.  Qiang people" "The styles of the two people are different. Li Gang is mature and will sacrifice local interests when necessary to whitewash peace and maintain harmony.  Overall he looks like a shield.  Ouyang, on the other hand, is enterprising and enterprising, like a sharp sword. When problems arise, they must be solved no matter how big or small. He is willing to do whatever it takes to solve the problem.  Ouyang¡¯s decision to seize power was unexpected to many people, but many people also expressed their understanding.  Border trade business activities have reached an irreconcilable point.  The country's original policy not only damaged the country's prestige, but also damaged the direct interests of businessmen.  Zhao Yu continued to use tolerance, but everyone understood that Ouyang would not tolerate it.  Although this person studied Confucianism, he acted competently and paid attention to fairness.  Ouyang said: "I have already made a plan. If the ministers agree that I will supervise the country, I will go out to ask the emperor for permission. I will also be accompanied by a duke who can mobilize the 30,000 imperial guards from Tokyo to go to the Bashu border to suppress the bandits.  In addition, if I supervise the country, I will adopt group discussions. For example, should we adjust taxes and profits on some industries? As we all know, rice prices fluctuate greatly now, many of which are caused by excessive taxes and profits, as well as tea taxes, revised by Ouyang.  I can't keep up with the pace of social development in the Song Dynasty, and I have to make changes. I can't guarantee how well I can do it. I can only guarantee that if everyone supports me to supervise the country, first, we won't lose face to others, and we won't bully.  Others, but others should not try to bully us. Second, we should focus on improving people's livelihood, increase taxes on profit-making industries, reduce taxes on daily necessities industries, and reduce necessities for the people.s price.  Third, increase the price of rice and wheat grains to stimulate farmers' enthusiasm for farming.  Fourth, the healthy development of commercial market regulations and the realization of the principle of mutual profit and mutual benefit" Ouyang said a total of ten points, while Li Gang didn't say a single one. After comparing each other, everyone knew who to choose. From a policy perspective, Ouyang compared  Being aggressive, Ouyang is looking for problems, or asking about possible problems to solve them. The ministers also understand that if Zhao Yu does not acquiesce or at least does not object to Ouyang.  In terms of his behavior, Ouyang was just messing around. Zhao Yu could bring Ouyang back to his original form with a single handwriting. But Ouyang dared to speak like this. Everyone felt that he was confident. The reason for his confidence was probably the emperor's support.  In this way, the Right Prime Minister Wu Min, who represented Zhou Ping and other young radical businessmen, expressed opposition and doubts about Ouyang's attempt to seize power: "I do not doubt Prime Minister Ou's loyalty, nor do I doubt Prime Minister Ou's enthusiasm for the country and the people.  However, everyone knows that Ou Xiang was originally the magistrate of Yangping County, and to tell a secret that everyone knows, Ou Xiang rarely takes care of Yangping's affairs.  Then I have to think about it, is Mr. Ou capable of supervising the country?  On the other hand, Prime Minister Li has served as a censor, an envoy to the Northwest Military Road, and a tax collector in a county. Since he took up the post of left prime minister, he has been dedicated to his work and has been praised by all officials. He was even praised by the emperor as a great minister.  Song Nengchen.  Although Prime Minister Ou is also busy with errands, most of them are military affairs. In terms of government affairs, he is indeed inferior.  " Some ministers directly accused Ouyang of being shameless, and said that the emperor asked Li Gang to supervise the country, but Ouyang did not know the rules and asked hundreds of officials to accompany him to make nonsense. " Ouyang could see clearly that although several interest delegations expressed opposition to his seizure of power, they still  Appreciating the behavior itself, that is to say, although they do not want Ouyang to be the leader, they support Ouyang's power-grabbing behavior. However, some non-interest groups just accuse him of being the most failed representative of the group.  Wu Min gave a speech, demanding that the power of supervising the country be handed over to him. Bai Shi, the deputy minister of Shumen who represented the landlord's position, also announced his participation in the seizure of power. However, Li Gang, as a representative of the bureaucracy, only said a few words without substance, which disappointed even him.  As the most senior official, the Qing Yi doctor read several opinions from the Qing Yi in the past few days. The first one was Ouyang's proposal for joint governance with Ouyang and several interest representatives.  Cooperate to implement policies. If the policy being implemented is opposed by the partners, a vote will be held. Due to the cooperation of interest groups, the cooperative groups can also gain benefits and they can make political proposals that are beneficial to them.  The interests will be fully supported. In other words, Ouyang proposed that all proposals must pass the court meeting. The difference between cooperation and non-cooperation is that cooperative groups can propose proposals, while non-cooperative groups have no right to propose proposals.  Non-cooperative groups do not have this right in court meetings. In contrast, non-cooperative groups have the right to propose convening a court meeting to dissolve the ruling group. Cooperative groups do not have the right to propose it, but they can vote at the court meeting. There are nearly a hundred officials who have a clear position.  There are more than 50 people. There are about 40 people who don't know what's going on. Although they don't know, they have to vote now. Whether you know it or not, you have to choose one of the candidates. And Li Gang is not prepared.  Full, and he had no intention of co-governing, and he didn't know who he represented. In the end, only Ouyang, Wu Min, and Bai Shi competed for power. Ouyang won by a large margin Zhao Yu slowly read through the papers from Tokyo.  Gong, the business power represented by Ouyang defeated all major forces. Of course, this was not because of the strength of the business power. It can only be said that Ouyang himself had strong strength. Ouyang invited Bai Shi to co-govern, and Wang Min became the largest opposition party.  : "I received news that Wu Min is secretly meeting Li Gang.  Talk about a coalition.  " Zhao Yu smiled and said: "Ouyang didn't even set any rules for the game.  " "Your Majesty, the rules of the game have been decided.  It was compiled by doctors Qingyi and Xiangyi.  "The Ninth Eunuch took out a copy of the notice and said, "Write here that it will be two months before you are allowed to raise doubts about the ability of the people in power and ask for a court meeting.  If the number of people who agree reaches 30%, a court meeting can be held. If there is no confidence in the ability of the ruling personnel to occupy the majority, the ruling personnel will step down and the original opposition party will take over.  What a mess?  " Zhao Yu asked: "Have you seen its benefits?  " Ninth Eunuch thought about it and shook his head: "Our family didn't see it.  " "The businessmen represented by Ouyang are somewhat different from the younger generation of businessmen represented by Wu Min. Ouyang represents the overall interests, while Wu Min represents the individual interests of the businessmen.  As far as the Qiang people are concerned, Wu Min will not use troops against the Qiang people because of the interests of individual businessmen, because this will lose a lot of votes against using force against the Qiang people.  Zhao Yu said: "Ouyang goes up and becomes the executioner to help."Get rid of the scourge of the Qiang people.  If there are adverse reactions in the future, Ouyang can step down and replace him with a gentler person, such as Li Gang.  The 9th Eunuch took a breath: "Your Majesty, do you want to stop taking care of it?" "It's not that I don't care, but that I don't care about some things." Zhao Yu said: "I have military power and the power to appoint officials. I can't say anything. But it's like  I don't want to deal with things like the Qiang people, and I don't want to deal with the remaining Jurchens for the sake of reputation. In this way, I only need to take care of the public, and I don't have to be trapped in the palace.  And it can also listen to public opinion." "Your Majesty is wise," Zhao Yu asked. "For example, I know that Ouyang is greedy or uses power for personal gain, but Wu  Who among the officials is willing to take care of Ouyang's corruption? But after this is implemented, if Ouyang dares to be corrupt, Wu Min will definitely blame him. Wu Min will show Ouyang's corruption to the courtiers. In this way, Ouyang will be corrupted.  I have no choice but to step down. The courtiers are no longer in harmony, and everyone is staring at each other's filth. This is the emperor's balancing act, which is the true wisdom." After thinking for a while, the Nine Eunuchs asked: "Will they be punished in this way?  People with ulterior motives will take advantage of it." "The military power will not be in my hands." Zhao Yu said: "Furthermore, they are all staring at each other. Not to mention disobedient actions, even if they push down an old man on the street, they will be attacked for disrespecting the elderly.  ." Zhao Yu discussed with Ouyang and rejected the two factions proposed by Ouyang, but divided it into four factions.  He also secretly met with Bai Shi and Wang Min.  Expressed the intention of political reform.  Of course, a supervisory agency is also indispensable, and the Qingyi doctor is the supervision tool, because firstly, the Qingyi doctor cannot be bribed, and secondly, the Qingyi doctor has no conflict of interests.  Third, Qingyi officials did not join any faction.  Are the famous emperors of past dynasties more capable than the famous ministers of past dynasties?  It is obviously negative. No matter which factor it is, it is difficult for the emperor's talents and knowledge to surpass all the ministers of this dynasty.  It's just that the ministers show their heads but don't show their heads.  Zhao Yu knew this very well, and knew that although his ability to govern was stronger than that of Song Huizong, he was indeed inferior to Li Gang's hard work, Ouyang's enterprising, etc.  And because I was worried about my reputation or other reasons, no one below dared to do it.  "In the case of the Supreme Emperor, if she had not been in power, neither Ouyang nor Wu Min would have stopped fighting.  Bai Shi would have ceased war and negotiated peace, but it would not have lasted long because the waste of military spending would have been impeached and opposed by Ouyang and the others.  As for Song Huizong, Zhao Yu's identity was the most difficult to deal with. She couldn't stop the war. She had sufficient reasons for the cessation. Others didn't dare to say that she was wasting military expenditures, which made her helpless if she didn't want to stop.  This is an exploration of the model by Zhao Yu and Ouyang.  Although Ouyang is aware of the advancement of various systems, he also feels that they may not be able to adapt to the country's national conditions.  Zhao Yuhui agreed to weaken certain royal rights, which had a lot to do with his lack of heirs.  Although he lost certain rights, the emperor no longer became the focus of conflicts.  Whether the emperor is a tyrant has no direct relationship with whether he is overthrown.  In this way, it was very effective to prevent the peasant uprising from being targeted at the emperor and keep the emperor out of the matter.  But at the same time, the emperor also controlled military power, amnesty power, appointment and dismissal of officials, and other powers that were sufficient to influence the court's decision-making.  Although he does not directly participate in the management of government affairs, he controls everything.  Zhao Yu replied to the public and agreed to give Ouyang the right to mobilize 30,000 imperial troops in Tokyo. At the same time, he also complied with the public opinion and gave Ouyang the right to supervise the country.  In addition, he also wrote several letters to the opposition parties, encouraging them to catch Ouyang's pigtails.  ¡­ ¡­ Although Zhu Da is not a famous general, it is undeniable that he is still a relatively good general and has experienced many battles.  Murong Mo has rich combat experience. Since he was originally from the Northwest Military Road, he has a good understanding of the characteristics of nomadic people fighting in high mountains.  Ouyang received a majority vote of confidence at the court meeting and supported the war against the Qiang people. After that, he gave the Privy Council the right to send troops and appointed Zhu Da and Murong Mo as generals. The Privy Council will be responsible for achieving the strategic goals of these 30,000 people.  As for how to command the army and fight the war, Ouyang wanted to interfere, but was stopped by Wu Min.  Wu Min believed that Ouyang was an amateur in fighting, and he was thousands of miles away, so gesticulating was like talking on paper.  Ouyang accepted this criticism.  Before Zhu Da even left Beijing, the Qing Dynasty's court meeting system was put in front of everyone.  Define the form of the court meeting in words, the relationship between the ruling party and the opposition faction, etc.  The most important point is that Dali Temple and Yushitai will become independent supervisory agencies.  For example, if someone catches Ouyang with a sore foot, he can sue Dali Temple and think that Ouyang is not qualified to govern anymore.  Then Dali Temple and Yushitai came forward to investigate. Once it was confirmed that Ouyang violated the court meeting system, Ouyang could be forced to step down. If Ouyang had other problems, Yushitai could only report and propose re-election.  Zhu Da came out and led the 30,000-strong Tokyo Forbidden Army armed to the teeth.  Ouyang is the representative of the hawks. He is fond of the nomads and the border tribes.The method of division and assimilation is favored.  Ouyang did not allow them to form gathering areas and have their own language.  Wu Min agreed with this, but Li Gang opposed it, and Bai Shi, who was in power with Ouyang, also opposed Ouyang's idea.  However, due to political needs, Bai Shi supported Ouyang, while Wu Min opposed Ouyang.  Both Wu Min and Li Gang were waiting for big problems to arise in Ouyang's policies and finally pulled him down.  For example, if Zhu Da is defeated, or if other Bian tribes rise in panic, it is possible for Ouyang to step down.  Li Gang has little interest in rights, but he is very opposed to Ouyang's policy towards the border tribes.  In order to change all this, he could only regain his power and change his policies.  This is different from dealing with the emperor. You may use reason or ten thousand words to move the emperor and reverse the emperor's policy.  Li Gang knew that it was impossible for him to convince Ouyang, because the policies adopted by Ouyang had a unified understanding within his administration.  If Ouyang acts recklessly, Ouyang will probably be kicked off the stage by his own people.  This system was not just mentioned, it was an idea that Zhao Yu had been planning for a long time.  However, the original representative figure was not Ouyang.  Zhao Yu believed that Ouyang was either wandering around or being punished by himself, and it was almost impossible for him to go to court.  Ouyang himself was not interested in being an official, especially the complicated court meetings, but he was attracted by Zhao Yu's reform plan.
