Politics is never a black and white binary of right and wrong.

Reform has never just been a contest between reformers and conservatives.

It is even less likely that all those with vested interests will jump in immediately after hearing about the reform policy.

People who jump right away are either reckless. At least with their mentality, they will never be able to reach the middle or upper class.

Either he is a minor official, wants to be attached to someone, and takes the opportunity to have an official career.

There is an old Chinese saying that things will go well if things are slow.

Its core meaning is only one word: drag!

This incident seemed to involve officials besieging the Secretary of Agriculture, but in fact the real purpose was not that simple, and the bureaucrats were not that stupid.

Those guys sent a bunch of little shrimps to besiege the Secretary of Agriculture. They just wanted to attract the attention of everyone in the court, make the matter bigger, and finally make everyone unable to step down.

Then they forced Dongfu to engage in "three gatherings".

The so-called Dongfu Sanju is a written rule of the Song Dynasty.

The following Zhazi went to the Shangshu Hall of the East Mansion. The Shangshu left and right ministers wanted to approve the document. If they could confirm the matter, they would directly sign and seal it.

If something is uncertain, just write one word, such as "上,下", which means to convene officials in Shangshu Province to discuss and resolve.

For example, if you write "中", you need to go to the imperial court to obtain the decree and follow the arrangements of Zhao Guan's family.

For example, writing "Ju" means discussing with the prime minister.

Another example is writing "Sanju", which means that the governors of the East Prefecture, including Zuo Pushe and Zuo Cheng, will discuss together. In other words, the problem will be raised to collective discussion.

This is the daily life of the Eastern Mansion of the Song Dynasty.

So yesterday when Chen Dong was at the memorial, Zhao Ding closed the door of the political hall, smashed cups and chairs with a group of officials inside, and finally passed the memorial politely.

But now some officials are besieging the Department of Agricultural Affairs, which is actually giving other people in Dongfu a reason to report the "three gatherings" again.

Once the "three gatherings" are reported again, Zhao Ding will be under greater pressure and the matter will go to the emperor.

This logic is actually very simple to understand.

The prime minister of the Song Dynasty was not the chief minister of the cabinet whose power was castrated in the Ming Dynasty. The prime minister of the Song Dynasty still had some decision-making power. He could sign and seal, and the decrees took effect directly.

After all, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty was still the head of the government.

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was both the head of state and the head of government. He integrated national justice, moral integrity, administrative power, military power, personnel power, financial power, etc. All matters, no matter how big or small, must be approved by the emperor to have legal effect.

As for the financial crisis in the late Ming Dynasty, it was not a loss of power, but administrative collapse.

Having said that, everyone now agrees that this nonsense "Gyeonggi Road New Agricultural Policy Regulations" was created by Zhao Ding instigating Chen Dong.

Therefore, the target of the current attack is apparently Chen Dong, but in fact it is Zhao Ding. He wants to organize a "three gatherings" and invites the officials to discuss it again.

At this time, dozens of officials were surrounding outside the Agricultural Affairs Bureau.

Several young officials yelled loudly: "Chen Dong, you shameless traitor, you don't have the nerve to show off!"

Those who didn’t know better thought that the famous writer traveled through time and was scolded.

"Chen Dong, you bastard! If you have the ability, come out!"

"Chen Dong, you are a rebellious minister and traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people! The Song Dynasty was harmed by people like you!"

"How can we ruin our ancestors' country like this?"

"Wang Anshi is second! Wang Anshi is second! This man is a wolf in human skin!"

"The Song Dynasty is over!"

"The Song Dynasty is about to end!"

"..."

Everyone said something to each other at the door without feeling embarrassed at all.

They stormed the main entrance of the Yamen several times and were intercepted by the imperial guards. One official's official uniform was torn, but they were still stopped in the end.

Inside the Agricultural Affairs Bureau.

Chen Dong is checking the current rental status of Huangtian.

The large Sinong Hall is filled with all kinds of documents. Documents are piled up layer after layer, and the bookshelves at the back are also full.

Those are the fields that have been rented out recently after the clan's fertile farmland was released. One family has 20 acres, another has 30 acres, and the most is 40 acres.

Officials such as the chief officer, the Lingshi, and the Lingshi are all sorting out the documents.

Zhang Bolin said: "Chen Sinong! Those officials are blocking the door, and many people are unwilling to come in to collect the rented fields! This is not an option!"

Chen Dong said: "Don't worry, let them block it. I don't believe that the Dongfu Prime Minister will ignore it, and I don't believe that Yushitai and Jianyuan will ignore it!"

Zhang Bolin said angrily: "Sinong, I will take the people out now and drive them away!"

"You still think we haven't fought enough? Hu Quan is still lying on the bed now!"

Zhang Bolin dropped the pen in his hand and said angrily: "It's really annoying! Now the Song Dynasty is going to war with the Jin people. It's short of money and food. If you ask them to pay more, they will jump on it one by one!"

Suddenly, an imperial student who had been following Chen Dong ran in and shouted: "Sinong, someone climbed over the courtyard wall from behind and came in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of fierce men rushing in with sticks in hand.

An official shouted loudly: "What are you doing! This is the Yamen!"

Those people didn't say a word, they rushed in and started fighting.

The shouts inside alerted the guards outside, who immediately rushed in and captured the ferocious men inside.

Fortunately, the Imperial Guards arrived in time.

Even so, many officials inside were injured, and some documents were even torn up.

At this moment, Gao Qiu came with people from the Imperial City Department.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Imperial City Secretary Ban Zhi began to drive people away.

Wang Chen, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, shouted angrily: "Who are you!"

An imperial city commander pushed him away and said in a cold voice: "Captain Gao is here. How courageous are you to block the way of Captain Gao!"

When everyone saw these people, their expressions immediately changed.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Imperial City Secretary Panzhi began to drive people away.

"Hey, who am I? It turns out to be Captain Gao!" The speaker was a head of the household department named Yang Bing. He rolled his eyes, "Isn't Captain Gao playing Cuju? Why are you in the mood to come here?

.”

Gao Qiu held two walnuts in his hand and was playing with them one by one.

I saw him swaggering out of the middle road, walked up to Yang Bing, and looked at him.

Yang Bing said coldly: "What advice does Captain Gao have?"

Gao Qiu didn't say anything, and suddenly slapped Yang Bing on the face, knocking Yang Bing unconscious.

"you……"

"Who do you think you are!" Gao Qiu spat, "Which yamen's petty official are you? How dare you act wild in front of me! Tell me who your superior officer is and ask him to come over and see if he dares.

Fart in front of your great-grandfather!"

Yang Bing was about to speak, but Gao Qiu slapped him again, and with a snap, Yang Bing screamed strangely this time, covering his face and retreating quickly.
