In the Political Affairs Hall, Xu Ping repeatedly considered it and discussed with the other priests, and decided not to give the Guiyi Army the guest ceremony to Cao Xianshun, who came to the capital. He gave him a letter to Han Qi and ordered him to visit the people's sentiments of Gua and Sha Prefectures, and then make a decision. Once he gave the Guiyi Army the guest ceremony to the Guiyi Army who surrendered to the land, he would open a royal palace in Shazhou and be truly crowned kings, rather than a deceased king like Li Foma and Ning Lingge who looked like a circle in the capital.

The world has been unified and can no longer be feudal. The kings who were enfeoffed in Shazhou are just the spiritual sustenance of the people there, and local governance is still sent by the court to send officials from the imperial court. The spirit belongs to the spirit, the reality belongs to the reality, and the Buddha's king is more a symbol of Buddha Bodhisattva in the real world. Compared with Xu Ping's previous life, people like living Buddhas are similar to those of the living Buddhas.

The title of king is ready-made. King Xiping and the governor of Guiyi Army were once awarded this title. As for the status of Buddhism, it is up to the locals to decide and the court can recognize it.

Buddhism in the northwest is prevalent, and it is different from the Central Plains civilization. To win the hearts of the people, we must admit this difference. The difference is different. We cannot cut our feet and walk on the feet, which will cause trouble. With the spiritual symbol of King Xiping, we can unite the hearts of the people in the northwest and have infinite benefits for the Song Dynasty to restore the vast Western Regions. At the same time, it can also resist the continuous advancement of another civilization. As for the future, whether it will be the same as the Central Plains, it depends on the efforts of future generations.

Cao Xianshun, who was about to come to the capital, suggested that he would be promoted to his title before Yuanhao destroyed Shazhou, and from the founding marquis of Qiao County to the founding monarch of Qiao County, all kinds of officials, positions, meritorious officials, prosecutors, and scattered officials should be promoted together. From then on, they would be idle princes in Kaifeng City, and they would not have to be kept strictly as careful as Li Foma and Ning Lingge, and live a happy life.

The Cao family of Guiyi Army recognized that after Cao Cao, the county was Qiao County, so the titles of Duke and Marquis were mostly tied to Qiao County. As for whether they were real Cao Cao, or even from Hu people who came from foreign ethnic groups, there is no need to go into it. It is normal to choose a Han surname and then recognize a famous ancestor in history after becoming famous.

The decision of the Zhengshi Hall was written into a mature letter, and the ministers signed and sealed it one by one, and Xu Ping sealed it up. Most of the political affairs were decided in this way. Later, the familiar letter was sent to the Da Nei, Zhao Zhen painted it, and then went to the Zhengshi Hall, and Zhigao drafted an imperial decree.

Of course, the emperor had the power to disagree with the master of the prime minister, but the master also had the power to insist on it, and it depends on who would make concessions in the end. When Zhao Pu was prime minister, he had to use the officials he valued. Taizu disagreed and forced him to act like a scoundrel and said, "I just don't know, what can you do!" Zhao Pu insisted, the king and prime minister were in a stalemate for a long time, and in the end, Taizu made concessions. Once the incident became even more stalemate, Taizu tore Zhao Pu's familiar form to pieces and threw it on the ground. Zhao Pu picked it up and went home to stick it back. Taizu had no choice but to agree.

Political affairs must be released from the Secretariat. The emperor has no power to appoint officials himself. If he decides political affairs, he must have the same opinion. If both sides really cannot cooperate, they can change the prime minister. It depends on whether the ministers have the ability to recognize the prime minister.

After the seal was completed, Xu Ping looked at the hand edict sent from the palace one by one. The hand edict was what Zhao Zhen wanted to do and sent it to the Secretariat. The prime minister had no objection and directly issued the imperial edict to the imperial edict. After the seal was used, he would return it and sent it back to the palace. The prime minister's official title was to be the same as the Secretariat's Menxia Pingzhangshi, which was integrated with the Secretariat's Government and Secretariat's Government. The three-provincial system during the Sui and Tang Dynasties had actually been abolished, and the prime minister's system in the Qin and Han dynasties was partially restored. The power of the Secretariat's seal was partially transferred to the Tongjinyintai Secretariat's seal. However, this yamen was quite weak compared to the Secretariat, and sometimes the prime minister ignored them directly.

The edict on political affairs was divided aside, and Zhao Zhen’s private affairs were put aside. The private affairs were nothing more than a concubine who had to give him a title and monthly salary, and a relative who had to give him an official position and a relative who had a royal family. The emperor was also a human being, and he would inevitably have various human entanglements. Zhao Zhen’s ears were soft, and he often said in front of him that he wanted an official and money, and he agreed casually. Sometimes, in order to show that he really loved which concubine or who would help him, he would write a edict in person.

The emperor promised to do whatever he wanted, and the prime minister had to do whatever he wanted. Xu Ping piled up Zhao Zhen's hand edicts on his own private affairs and pulled them into a cloth bag placed next to him. At the end of the month, Xu Ping would return the bag to Zhao Zhen when he came to the palace to report the matter.

This method was not first created by Xu Ping, but he followed the example. Wang Zeng said that resentment was his own and kindness was superior, and this practice was also part of it. This handwritten edict could not be blocked by the prime minister. If the imperial edict was issued, Zhao Zhen would wait for the imperial edict to be criticized by the ministers. Most of the time, he was criticized and he had to take it back. The prime minister was also implicated and embarrassed. If this kind of thing happened a lot, it was a manifestation of the prime minister's dereliction of duty and would be criticized by the censors.

After removing Zhao Zhen’s private affairs, Xu Ping looked at the edict on political affairs carefully. What can be implemented? Put it aside and let the prime minister pass on the signature and seal it. Xu Ping disagreed, and put it away directly and explain the reasons to Zhao Zhen when he entered the palace to report the matter. Xu Ping recognized that other prime ministers had different opinions and would propose it at the meeting of the political affairs hall, and everyone would make a decision together.

This is Xu Ping's daily work in the Political Affairs Hall every day, and most of his energy and time are spent on it.

It is the prime minister who governs the country, not the emperor. The emperor decides who will be the prime minister. The restraint between the power of the monarch and the power of the prime minister is guaranteed by the system, not by the emperor's character or the ability of the prime minister. Power and responsibility are matched together, and without power, there will be no responsibility. If the emperor deals with political affairs directly, no prime minister is willing to blame himself and be kind to him. No one in the world is a fool. Officials are subordinate to the regime, not the emperor's retainers and servants.

A few days ago, Xu Ping talked about the slave system with Zhao Zhen, and believed that it was unreasonable that there were still slaves from the Tang Dynasty. After Zhao Zhen considered it, he agreed to Xu Ping's opinion and issued a direct edict, regardless of officialdom and private affairs, he would give slaves and servants all over the world a good place.

Since the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, private slaves have been illegal. Although there are still slaves in the people, they are actually hired good people and are just hired to work with money. However, there are also official slaves, the main source is the families of rebels, and they are mostly assigned to the affairs of the various departments in the capital. The personal restrictions of these people are no longer large, but in the legal sense, they are indeed slaves and untouchables.

This time, the abolition of slaves was mainly targeted at the official slaves, completely removing their personal restrictions. There will be no untouchables in the world from then on. Of course, the prostitutes and others in the public are called miscellaneous species, and the clans and officials are not allowed to marry them. This is a discrimination against professions. These people are not untouchables and do not engage in this profession, and they are also normal ordinary people. Xu Ping has not yet decided whether these discriminations are suitable for professions. This time, he will ignore them first and discuss them later.

Next to the hand edict, Xu Ping wrote his opinion and later asked the priest to circulate and discuss. First, whether the legal meaning of master and servant should be abolished, that is, the content that slaves are not allowed to sue the master is changed to be completely based on the family's people who live together and share wealth.

Law will inevitably involve ethics, and there are no exceptions in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. Ethical issues have caused heated discussions in society, and most of them involve law. The hot topics in Europe and the United States in Xu Ping’s previous life were not social discrimination, but the legal agreement or not to agree that they can become husband and wife. In this era, ethical issues of law are involved. What is the most important thing is family? Father, son, grandchildren and grandchildren are related to blood, so what is the stepfather and stepson? What is the basis for the formation of a family? Is it love? Or is it because of a position recognized by law? Or is it because they have common children? No love, no children?

The identification of these issues involves inheritance of inheritance, whether couples can divorce, and how to collect taxes from the regime. The Song Dynasty used a general approach, that is, to replace the family with people who live together and share money. This is a practice adopted in the sense of tax collection, that is, if the property belongs to one household and does not have private money, it is regarded as a person who lives together and shares money. Slaves have no selfish wealth, which means that there is no private money in this household. Of course, he still has his original family, but that is the business of another household. In the financial sense, when employed as a slave in other people's homes, his responsibility for tax service in the regime was transferred from his original home to the employer's home.

There are many problems involved, such as serving the military, slaves joining the army, whether they serve the military for their employer's family, or serving the military for their original family? Or whether military service has nothing to do with the family, is the obligation of all adults? So who will bear the losses of the employer during the employment period? The regime wants to show the people the public, and these cannot be done randomly.

The second opinion written by Xu Ping is the contract for the employment of the master and servant, and it is clear that the cost shall be borne by the employer. The legal guarantee of the employment relationship is of course not free, otherwise it will easily lose seriousness. The fees may be low, but they cannot be exempted. This is the content of stamp duty. The clear responsibility of the employer is to avoid unnecessary disputes.

The third opinion is the employment period. Xu Ping suggested that it be clear that it will be three years. After three years, both parties are willing to maintain it, so they need to re-establish the contract. The current five years and ten years are still too long and there is insufficient flexibility. Within the years, what kind of responsibility should one party bear if it breaks the contract and how much compensation should be given to the other party be given.
