Chapter 1128: Chaos Four

The Political Affairs Hall Conference is the highest deliberative body that assists the emperor in ruling the country.

The Zhengshi Hall was established in the middle of the Jin Dynasty, Xuanzong and was established in Menxia Province.

At the beginning, only three high-ranking officials participated in the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall, including the Secretariat, the Secretariat, and the Secretariat, these three were of course prime ministers.

Later, the emperor also took other officials to attend the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall, and was called the Minister of Political Affairs, and was the name of the Secretary of the Central Committee and the Secretary of the Communist Party of China. These two officials were also prime ministers, but their weight was slightly weak.

Zhao Xun's second step in reform was to reduce power and reduce the power of the Political Affairs Hall. His approach was to establish a new institution and establish a Privy Council, which was full-time military planning and decision-making, and to separate military affairs from the Political Affairs Hall, separate military affairs. The Political Affairs Hall only manages political affairs. All prime ministers only have decision-making power over daily government affairs. Military affairs were transferred to the Privy Council.

The right prime minister is not the position of the Central Secretariat.

The Secretariat was founded in the early Jin Dynasty and had extremely high power. The meaning of this position was that the Secretariat adhered to the emperor's will and took charge of the secrets. It issued the imperial edict and central government order. It was the government center and highest political organ of the entire Jin Dynasty. Its power was far above the Secretariat and Menxia Province.

The highest commander of the Secretariat Province, Zhongshuling, is the inevitable head of the prime minister. Because of its great power, it has undermined the emperor several times. Several major political changes in the early and middle periods of the Jin Dynasty were all caused by the power struggle between Zhongshuling and the emperor. As the situation developed, the conflicts between the two sides became more and more intense, and eventually led to a political storm and blood flowed into a river.

Therefore, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty who later succeeded to the throne realized that the power of the prime minister was too heavy and the threat to the imperial power was too great. From Lingzong to Xuanzong, after the efforts of the five generations of emperors, the real power of the Zhongshu Ling was transferred to the deputy Zhongshu Shilang, and then reduced it to the Zhongshu Sheren, who was in charge of the government affairs of the Zhongshu Province, and it was divided by several Zhongshu Sheren. This was the early system of political affairs and halls.

Even when the Emperor Wuzong Dynasty was in charge of the court affairs, the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall and the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice were completely emptied, and the real power of the senior officials was completely emptied, becoming a glorious position.

Zhao Xun's political reform completely removed the inevitable connection between the Secretary of the Central Committee and the Right Prime Minister, leaving you without even the name.

The reason is very simple. Although the Zhongshu Ling has become a position without any real power, it still has its function. If an ordinary person holds this position, it is no big deal. However, if the right minister assembles this position, it can form a constraint on the emperor's edicts.

Although the three provinces have become decorations today, the process of the court affairs has not changed.

The emperor issued an edict, and the Secretariat issued an edict. After the Secretariat, formal policies and orders were formed, and officials at all levels began to work.

Although this is not the most important thing, if the right prime minister insists on setting up a card in the Secretariat and the emperor's consciousness cannot be conveyed, then he can also change the method, such as through court meetings or political affairs meetings, discussing and then forming formal decisions.

On the other hand, if Zhao Xun can grasp the two points of the Secretariat and the Secretariat, he can directly issue edicts without going through the court and the political affairs hall, and directly form resolutions and formal orders. Of course, this practice may be strongly resisted by the vast majority of people, especially the aristocratic families. However, judging from this reform, Zhao Xun obviously intends to do this.

The five political reforms involved a wide range of aspects.

Once the resolution was promulgated, hundreds of officials in the court were immediately infuriated. Many people immediately stood up and spoke loudly against the prime ministers, including Xie Shiyuan, Liu Congji and other prime ministers, especially those representative figures of the aristocratic family group, Chen Hu, Helian Chu, Wang Laozhi, Liu Zhi, Xiao Hui, Zhan Taiyiheng, Pei Shichang, Wang Chengzong and others, who even opposed it fiercely.

There are many people who agree, most of them are Zhao Xun's direct confidant officials, and some honest people, such as the Censor Zhai Hongliang, He Tingxuan, and the Zhongshu Sheren Wang Shiyuan and others.

The two sides had a fierce debate in the court.

Interestingly, several major generals of the Shenwu Army also participated in this court meeting. They strongly supported Zhao Xun's political reform.

Li Zhong sat there quietly at the beginning and chose to watch. He obviously did not want to participate in this fierce discussion, but he was the right prime minister of the dynasty, so he could not escape such a situation.

No matter what Li Zhong’s true thoughts were, he could only choose to support Zhao Xun and the resolution to support political reform.

Li Xun and Liu Guanghui were also forced to participate and each made their own statements.

Li Xun did not make a statement on the spot because he had not yet figured out what the meaning of reform was. Liu Guanghui unexpectedly chose to remain silent, that is, he did not support or object. He was a representative figure of the aristocratic family group. His attitude instead caused strong dissatisfaction among many aristocratic officials.

This court meeting lasted for more than two hours. From beginning to end, Zhao Xun almost didn't say much, just sat there quietly.

During the fierce quarrel, Zhao Xun announced the separation of the court, and everyone ended up leaving unhappily.

"Your Majesty is trying to break the sky!"

Chen Hu and other representatives of the aristocratic family groups gathered together, and many people still had strong anger on their faces.

In their opinion, the emperor today is too brave and dares to be strong before his wings have grown hard. Does he have the confidence and strength?

Wang Laozhi said angrily: "For more than 500 years of founding the country in the Great Jin Dynasty, political affairs have always been discussed and done by everyone. Things that are beneficial to everyone can be done, but things that are not profitable cannot be done. What is the emperor who wants to do now? He wants to do a one-size-fits-all and completely strangle all of us to death? Emperor Wuzong is not as tough as him. Where did he get the courage and courage? It is simply done by ordinary men."

Wang Laozhi was obviously a little unreasonable by his anger. He dared to use Emperor Zhao Xun as a common man in front of so many people!

Lu Zhongxun looked at Wang Laoyi and said indifferently: "Mr. Wang, please pay attention to your words. The emperor should not be humiliated."

Wang Laozhi knew that he had made up his words and quickly looked around. Seeing that there were no outsiders, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Hu looked at Lu Zhongxun and said in a deep voice: "You are so calm in the court just now, and you don't say a word from beginning to end. Why?"

Lu Zhongxun sneered: "The main generals of the Shenwu Army have all come today. Why did they come? Who asked them to come? What is the intention of coming? Don't you understand such a simple question?"

After hearing what Lu Zhongxun said, Chen Hu calmed down, thought carefully, and immediately took a breath of air conditioning.

Zhao Xun's intention was very obvious, just to tell them that I have more than 100,000 Shenwu Army soldiers in my hands now. Whether you agree or disagree, this political reform will be carried out by myself.
