After the three of them discussed this, they actually had detailed steps from the decision-making level to the implementation level. The next step is to push them down step by step.

Once this matter is successful, Zhao Xu can not only consolidate his authority, but also install many of his own people in the local government.

In the future, his government orders will be able to go directly to the local area, and their implementation will definitely be much better than now.

Just when Zhao Xu was full of fighting spirit, Ouyang Bian suddenly let out a shocking voice.

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Xu asked with concern.

Ouyang Bian pointed to several manuscripts and said, "This manuscript is submitted by Sima Guang."

Zhao Xu nodded: "Is there any problem?"

Ouyang Bian had some headaches: "He opposed clearing the fields."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but have a headache either.

No wonder they all had a headache, Sima Gang, oh, it’s not Sima Gang, no, Sima Guang is a straight man, has a good reputation and a strong head.

The previous Pu Yi's proposal was that he brought a group of censors, the bosses of the Political Affairs Hall, and the backer Zhao Shuyingzong.

Han Qi's resignation was also caused by Sima Guang and the censors. These censors are not afraid of heaven or earth. They are truly the type of people who are not afraid of things and find something if they have nothing to do.

There is no way, because they are doing this themselves, and this is their performance.

It's understandable.

"What is his reason for objection?"

Zhao Xu asked with concern.

Ouyang Bian rubbed his eyebrows: "Didn't they submit a memorial?"

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Isn't this a policy not yet formed? They must have a target if they want to oppose it."

Ouyang Bian nodded, right, this is just a discussion.

He handed over the manuscript.

When Zhao Xu saw it, he said, "A good guy, a big article."

What are the previous kings and the Taizong Taizu all came out to wander around.

Anyway, the central argument of a large article is that you, Zhao Xu, ascended the throne, do not act rashly!

Your grandfather Renzong can't do this well. You are still young and not the time to do this.

At this time, you must be obedient and cultivate yourself well, and don’t cause trouble to the country.

Zhao Xu: "..."

It has to be said that Zhao Xu admitted that Sima Guang was a true gentleman, but sometimes the true gentleman could speak too much.

Zhao Xu said with a headache: "If Sima Guang objected, this matter would be difficult to deal with. Ji Mo, you have been the censor and are also the same person as them, and a former comrade-in-arms. Can you communicate with them?"

Ouyang Bian nodded: "I went back, but these things cannot be based solely on personal friendship or national affairs. If everything depends on personal feelings, what's going on?"

Zeng Gong agreed with Ouyang Bian’s statement: “That’s right, our Song Dynasty emphasizes governing the country according to law, and cannot governing the country by people. Ji Mo said it right.”

Zhao Xu nodded and asked, "What do Ji Mo think?"

Ouyang Bian reminded: "Do your Majesty still remember the hearing I told you before?"

Zhao Xu woke up: "What do you mean?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "That's right, it's just a try."

Zeng Gong said in surprise: "What is a hearing?"

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "The hearing was said by Ji Mo and I. We have talked about it before. If someone objected to a policy in the implementation of a policy, what should we do at this time?

Ji Mo asked the so-called hearing, which means gathering people who hold opposition opinions together, and the policy makers and executors answered questions in a concentrated manner.

Makers and executors listen to objections and then seize the favorable parts of it to improve it, which not only solves the shortcomings of the policy, but also turns opponents into supporters."

Zeng Gong savored it slightly and immediately felt the wonder of this so-called hearing, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"It is said that Ji Moqi has a lot of ideas. If so, there will be no opponents in the implementation of the policy."

Ouyang Bian shook his head gently and said, "It's not that simple. Not only are opponents, but they are also incomprehensible.

The hearings strive for neutrals, not opponents.

Opponents are all vested interests, and the reform touches their interests. How could they support them?"

Zhao Xu laughed.

"It's enough, Ji Mo, have you said that the reform is to make friends more and enemies less.

With the hearing, we will have more friends than our enemies after all, right?"

Ouyang Bian laughed: "That's right, as long as we are not in a hurry, our friends will always be fewer than our enemies.

Why I insist on doing it one by one is because every specific reform is a reallocation of interests.

Every time there are new beneficiaries and vested interests.

The new beneficiaries are our friends because they will profit from the reform and they will support us strongly.

And the vested interests will be our firm enemy, because we will take out the interests from them and no one will agree with them, so they will definitely stand firmly on our opposite side.

What needs to be vigorously strive for is those who have no conflict of interest in this reform. They may stand on our side or on the side of the enemy.

At this time, we have to pull them to our side through various means, and our reform can be successful.

But one of the keys is that when a reform is not on the right track, we should not immediately carry out the next reform. Brother, do you know why?"

Zeng Gong thought for a while and said, "According to your ideas, every reform will have opponents. If multiple reforms are implemented at the same time, too many opponents will be established at the same time.

Then they will unite and oppose all reforms, so that the reforms will not be sustainable."

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "That's exactly!"

Zhao Xu praised: "Listen to your words is better than reading for ten years. In the past, every time I heard about the new law of Qingli, I always sighed, sighing that the old ministers of Qingli were framed, so that the new law could not be sustained.

But now based on Ji Mo's theory, it is that the Qingli New Law has violated too many people and established too many enemies.

So in the end, it was a waste of time. It was understandable if you think about it."

Ouyang Bian was very satisfied with Zhao Xu's understanding. Why did he often talk about these things to Zhao Xu during these times? It was almost in detail, almost in theoretical discussions, and some even made taboos.

Especially the analysis of the concepts of monarchy and the discussion with Zhao Xu on how to control public opinion and suppress opponents with force, one after another is to let Zhao Xu understand how difficult the process of reform is.

Only by understanding this can Zhao Xu not make a rash move.

Advancing is the biggest enemy of reform!
