Chapter 2546 2222. New Deal Ideas

Lu Xiufu, Chen Wenlong and others are all over the age of retirement. Judging from their eagerness just now, Zhao Dongting guessed that they should soon propose to retire.

Over the years, they have insisted on working for the court. If they force themselves to stay in the court, it will inevitably be a bit too unkind.

Moreover, Zhao Dongting really couldn't bear to let them work hard all day long.

They have devoted most of their lives to the Song Dynasty and worked hard, and they should have enjoyed a blessing.

After a while, he said to Zhong Jian again: "Since recent, there are people with extraordinary performances within two ranks of officials in the court?"

Zhong Jian looked up and stared at him blankly.

Zhao Dongting said, "It's okay to just say it. I think that I can't calm down after returning to the palace for a few days. The State Council ordered them to come to me and say they were going to retire."

Zhong Jian was slightly surprised, "The emperor means to ask me to recommend someone who can be competent for the position of state affairs?"

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Just tell me what you think! I still have to discuss it with the ministers of the cabinet."

In fact, in recent years, he has given all government affairs to Zhong Jian and others, and it is not easy to find out the intention of the ministers in the court. He wants to see what these people are doing and showing when he is not there.

Zhong Jian pondered for a long time, "I wonder if the emperor wants to launch the Youth-Hungry Sect or the Qualification Sect?"

It is no longer a secret that the imperial court is divided into these two factions. It was originally divided by age, so it has no effect.

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "As long as you have the ability, you can do it."

He actually had a plan in his mind, but he didn't tell him about it.

The rule of the Song Dynasty that if there is no big mistake, one can be a full-time official until one is old is a disadvantage. According to his idea, the term system must be implemented.

Three years is one term.

Under normal circumstances, the same person is re-elected for up to two terms in the same position, and then the position adjustment is required.

In addition, if the same person has served in the same official position for a total of fifteen years, he will no longer be recommended and nominated for the same official position.

Of course, due to special reasons during the term of office, it must be such as physical health, lazy governance, etc., and it is not counted here.

This is still just Zhao Dongting’s initial thought, and obviously he still needs to continue to refine it.

And now, he is just thinking that during the first term of the cabinet, it is appropriate for those people to enter the cabinet.

Taking advantage of the retirement of Lu Xiufu, Chen Wenlong, Wen Tianxiang and others, it is a good opportunity to implement the term system.

Zhong Jian obviously couldn't think of so much, so he answered: "I think that Li Zhaoen, Xiyi and others are all capable people. Even with the current deputy commanders, they are all calm."

Zhao Dongting chuckled.

He knew what Zhong Jian meant, and he was more calm than he was less enterprising.

This seems to be a common problem among older Song officials.

However, the imperial court still needs such people. If they are all bold people, the Song Dynasty may not be able to withstand such torture.

When he returned to the palace, Zhao Dongting really didn't get the news. Seeing Lu Xiufu and others looking at him with a gaze, he could only follow them to the cabinet.

These cabinet ministers are afraid that they are already eager to see his return.

After sitting down in the cabinet lobby, Zhao Dongting smiled bitterly and said, "You all hurriedly asked me to come here, are you afraid that something is wrong?"

Lu Xiufu and others smiled bitterly.

Lu Xiufu said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is now over the age of retreating to the second line. Do you still plan to let the old minister continue to serve as the state commander?"

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "This has to give me time! I have just come back, so where can I find someone who can be competent for the state order?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiufu and others were prepared.

Lu Xiufu took out a list from his arms and said, "This is a list of officials whom I think can take over our position. Please check it out."

Zhao Dongting was a little confused and took the list from Lu Xiufu.

There are more than a dozen names mentioned by these people. The names of Li Zhaoen and Xiyi are listed, and the ones that are more prominent among the deputy decrees of each province and the ministers of each ministries.

Most of them are still a little different from the age of sixty.

There are only two people who are sixty years old and have only been about two years away, and they were excluded by Zhao Dongting.

He looked at the list carefully, but put it next to him and said to Lu Xiufu and others: "I wonder where you all my dear friends want to work next?"

They are only at the age of retiring, but not at the age of fully retirement.

Lu Xiufu and others had no plans for this, just looked at Zhao Dongting.

According to their qualifications, I really don’t know where to go. Apart from the emperor, it is the best for the provinces to rule the order. Now, the court seems to be useless and half-empty positions that are equal to the ranks of the Zhengling.

"Actually, I have a plan in my mind."
