Chapter 80 Rewards to the Ministers (2)

As he said, the faces of His Highness and ministers became even heavier.

The abolition of ancient methods is a major event related to their interests.

At this time, Zhao Dongting continued: "From this year, the Ministry of State, Military Affairs, Supervision, and Law will be established. The four provinces are ranked side by side, and they are in charge of the functions of state affairs, military, supervision of officials and case-based decisions. The Ministry of Defense, diplomacy, education, finance, justice, personnel, construction, agriculture, science and technology will be established below the Ministry of State, and each performs its duties."

All the ministers in the palace were confused.

They heard Zhao Dongting say that the new policy would be implemented, but they did not expect it to be implemented so thoroughly, almost very different from before.

They naturally didn't know that Zhao Dongting had thought about it.

According to the old laws of the Southern Song Dynasty, most officials held high power and low positions, but Zhao Dongting came from time to time and did not care about these things.

According to his idea, it is to keep useful official positions, and remove useless official positions.

In the past, the Southern Song Dynasty had a huge bureaucracy, and just raising idle jobs for eating was a huge burden on the national finances. At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty was in danger and almost started over again. Of course, Zhao Dongting would not miss the opportunity to implement the new policy in this way. He traveled through time with modern ideas, and naturally wanted to promote the modern official system in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In any case, the modern official system is always much more mature than that of the Southern Song Dynasty.

His system is completely a modern social system that we learn from.

Someone of His Highness wanted to ask Zhao Dongting to think twice, but then he thought that the emperor had not announced the chief officials of various provinces and ministries at this time. What if he could serve as the chief officials of various provinces and ministries?

Therefore, the ministers kept their pressure and did not say anything.

Zhao Dongting knew what they were thinking, and smiled slightly outlined the corner of his mouth, saying, "Lu Xiufu came forward to listen to the seal."

"I'm here!"

Lu Xiufu walked out of the ranks.

Zhao Dongting said: "In this great victory, all the pillars and our soldiers have made contributions. I have said before that, once this battle is over, I will reward you. Lord Lu will assist in political affairs and govern the government affairs. I will also give you the title of State Council of the State Council, in charge of government affairs in the court, and in charge of various ministries."

Lu Xiufu was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, the emperor."

In fact, there were still lengthy procedures for the appointment of a senior official in the Southern Song Dynasty, but at this moment of danger, everything was simple.

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly and said, "Wen Tianxiang came forward to listen to the seal."

Wen Tianxiang walked forward.

Zhao Dongting said: "Prime Minister Wen has made great contributions to the fight against the Yuan Dynasty and has great prestige among the people. I have promoted you to the Military Affairs Commission and Commander of the whole country."

Wen Tianxiang burst into tears and his eyes were red, "Thank you, the emperor!"

He just felt that his ambitions could finally be displayed.

Your Highness and ministers were stunned, and Zhang Shijie felt sweat on his forehead.

The State Council and the Military Affairs Bureau shall govern the military and political affairs, which is equivalent to taking all the power in the court, just like the previous Secretariat and the Privy Council.

Chen Yizhong fled. Zhang Shijie used to be the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor, which was equivalent to being the Privy Councilor. But now, the title of the military commander has not fallen on him. Doesn’t this mean that his military rank has been deprived?

Although he knew that the emergence would make Zhao Dongting displeased, he still couldn't help but step forward and said, "Your Majesty, everything is important to implement the new policy. Do you have a long-term plan?"

Of course, apart from him, few of His Highness’s ministers are qualified to raise objections.

Seeing him stand up, some officials close to him quickly followed and walked out of the line, "Please think twice!"

If Zhang Shijie takes charge of the military power, their entire faction will be a great blow.

Moreover, many of them were officials of the six ministries. They were quite alienated from Lu Xiufu because they were close to Zhang Shijie. If Lu Xiufu was in charge of various ministries, they would not have to change their families. At that time, the interests involved in the middle would be incalculable.

The atmosphere in the Political Consultation Hall suddenly became solemn and very subtle.

Zhao Dongting looked at this scene, not surprisingly. Since ancient times, there has been many obstacles in the reform of officials.

He knew that these ministers in the court had their own factions and would not easily allow him to touch their interests, but this also strengthened his determination to reform.

At this time, there were three or two big birds in the Southern Song Dynasty. If they could not be restructured, they would only become more difficult to restructure when they grow stronger in the future.

At this moment, his face became cold and he said heavily: "I have made up my mind. If anyone has any objections, he can resign and retire!"

He made up his mind that even if he lost a lot of talent, he would completely remove the chaotic and huge official system.

Zhang Shijie and the others were shocked when they heard Zhao Dongting say this. No one expected that the little emperor's courage was so great.

The officials from the Zhang Shijie faction dared not say anything anymore, and looked at Zhang Shijie in front of him in a vague way.

Zhang Shijie felt a dilemma at this time. If he retreated, the military power would be unsecured, but if he insisted on giving advice again...

He was wondering if Zhao Dongting would really let him resign and retire, but then he was shocked to find that he was in a state of vain.

Since Zhao Dongting took charge of the government, many actions have made him unable to figure out. Although he is a humeral minister and has power, he cannot tell whether Zhao Dongting will really abandon him. Moreover, with Zhao Dongting's current prestige, even if he resigns from office, he will probably not be able to make any big fuss.

More importantly, Zhang Shijie never thought of resigning and retiring.

Although he likes to win over factions and play with power, his heart is still towards the Song Dynasty and Zhao Dongting.

"The Emperor's Holy Spirit..."

Finally, Zhang Shijie sighed in his heart and slowly retreated back to the line.

Although he couldn't bear to give up his authority, he used to want to save the Song Dynasty from danger. At this moment, the emperor was wise, what else could he fight for?

When the ministers who were in the wind of his direction saw him retreat, they all followed him back to the lineup.

Even Zhang Shijie compromised, so they naturally would not overestimate their own abilities and advise them again.

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly and agreed with Zhang Shijie's actions. If Zhang Shijie dared to say more, he would really have the idea of ​​dismissing Zhang Shijie from office.

At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty could no longer withstand the troubles of all officials. If they want to prosper, they must work together.

Zhao Dongting wanted to revitalize the Southern Song Dynasty, and his idea of ​​implementing the new policy would not be shaken. No matter how loud the opposition there was, he would insist on sticking to it.

For a moment, the ministers in the palace looked dazed and all of them became thoughtful.

At this time, Zhao Dongting said again: "Zhang Shijie stepped forward and listened to the seal."

Zhang Shijie had almost no hope in his heart, and he moved his feet to the hall numbly, "I'm here."

His voice is no longer so full of energy.

Zhao Dongting said: "I have set up a special supervisory province, and now I will promote you to the supervisory order, and supervise all officials!"

Zhang Shijie was stunned, and the entire ministers of the Political Affairs Hall were stunned.
