Chapter 653 Resistance
Zhao Bing was not surprised when the two masters visited each other, and it was time to come. Of course, all this was due to the military reform plan. Some of them were too sensitive, that is, the blank collar seal on his collar. Of course, this was also the most difficult part. This not only changed the situation of the dynasty, but also changed the tradition that had lasted for three hundred years of Song Dynasty. However, he still changed into a sailor uniform before coming out to meet guests again.
"Your Majesty, what kind of clothes are this?" Ying Jieyan looked at Zhao Bing walking over in such a dress and said in surprise.
"Sir, is it good-looking?" Zhao Bing asked with a smile.
"This... it seems that Your Majesty has lost a little weight!" Ying Jieyan narrowed his eyes and looked up and down, frowned.
"Is that so? What do Mr. Jiang thinks?" Zhao Bing's belly was indeed a little smaller when he touched his face, but he felt that he was tired and had nothing to do with military uniforms, so he asked Jiang Zhu again.
"It looks good, did Your Majesty make it himself?" Jiang Qi tilted his neck and nodded, praised and asked again. He knew that except for the little emperor, no one in the entire dynasty could come up with this inconsistent with the style of the world, but he was really beautiful in his heart.
"Shangshu Jiang, this is the water army uniform designed by His Majesty for the new army!" Wang De sent tea and said.
"Oh, Your Majesty still has such a leisurely will!" Jiang Yu and Ying Jieyan looked at each other and said with some amusement.
"Shangshu Jiang's words are wrong. What Your Majesty does is not to play, but all of them have meaning..." Su Lan was dissatisfied with His Majesty and told the two of them the function that His Majesty had just said.
"Haha, Your Majesty is really perfect. Even a military uniform can think so thoughtful, why are you so careless in major matters?" Ying Jieyan listened to Su Lan's words, his eyes stayed on his face for a moment, and then turned to the little emperor.
"Why did you say this? This New Year's people are not just for scolding me, right?" Zhao Bing asked vigilantly when he saw the old man laughing maliciously.
"I dare not. Tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival. Zuo Prime Minister and Xu Shangshu have no time to clone the matters to prepare for the lantern festival. I specially ordered me to tell His Majesty something that should be informed!" Ying Jie said politely.
"Haha, the Zuo Prime Minister didn't care about this. It should be because Governor Liu came, but he bothered Mr. Lao and the Minister of War to tell me about etiquette. Isn't it too strange?" Zhao Bing looked at the two of them and said with a smile.
"Cough cough..." Ying Jieyan, who was drinking tea, choked and hurriedly covered his face with his sleeves and started coughing.
"Help me massage my back!" Zhao Bing hurriedly ordered Wang Dedao when he saw this.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Ying Jie coughed a few times and waved his hands repeatedly.
"The two gentlemen must have come for military reform. If you have any questions, just say it without going around the corner." Zhao Bing said.
"Governor, look..." Jiang Qi's face turned red, and he said with a strict sleeve.
"I said I will discuss it later after the New Year, you have to pull me here!" Ying Jieyan shook down his sleeve and glared at Jiang Yu.
"Okay, okay, I'm so anxious about this matter, but..." Jiang Qi said helplessly after hearing this.
"Do you two men have any differences on the plan? If we have our master and apprentice discussing together, there is nothing to say, and there are no outsiders here!" Zhao Bing understood most of the time when they saw the two of them hesitantly.
He knew that the most benefited from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, whose power was expanded, was no longer an optional leisure place, but an important department that could be equally divided with the Ministry of Revenue after becoming a Ministry of Personnel. As the Minister of State, Jiang Yan was of course the biggest beneficiary. As long as he did this, he would be half a step away from the position. Ying Jieyan and Lao Cheng were steadfast and understood that the military reform would definitely infringe on the interests of some people, so he naturally reserved his opinions on the sensitive issues, or even opposed them. The two of them had a dispute, so they asked for an explanation from him.
"Since Your Majesty has said that, you don't have to hesitate anymore!" Jiang Yu immediately turned to Ying Jieyan after hearing this.
"Zong Bao, why are you still so frivolous? If the old prime minister is still there, he will definitely scold you!" Jiang Yu's words made Ying Jieyan a little embarrassed and he pointed at him.
"The two gentlemen are here to visit. What I think should be a matter of military reform. The division of military branches and the abolition of the three yamen and the reorganization of each army will not arouse much opposition in the court!" Zhao Bing did not want to make fun of them, so he went straight to the point and nodded when he saw the two nodded and said, "As for strengthening the Ministry of War and presided over military affairs, I think there will be any opposition, but it will not be a resistance. The difficulty is the matter of class change and civil and military capital transfer. I am also doubtful about this, so I ask the two gentlemen to review it first!"
"Your Majesty is right, and I also think this is the case. If you readjust the class and break the boundaries between civil and military affairs, it will not only violate the laws of the ancestors, but also make scholars dissatisfied. If you force it, it will probably cause shock to the court." Ying Jieyan nodded and said.
"Sir, I think that although there will be resistance in this matter, the war is constantly happening now. It is the time when the warriors work hard. If they still suppress it blindly, it will not be conducive to the great cause of restoring the country. Your Majesty makes the Ministry of War in charge of military and political affairs, and the Privy Council will only have the responsibility for fighting, which is better than the previous laws." Jiang Xu then also expressed the differences between the two, and obviously supported them.
"Zongbao, you must know that Taizu and Taizong were able to reverse the ills of warrior autocracy with the power of the two dynasties. We have not had any rebellion of the vassal states in the previous dynasty in the Song Dynasty for three hundred years. Although there were accumulated ills, it was not the case..." Ying Jieyan retorted, but as he spoke, he lost his voice again, and obviously he knew the disadvantages.
"The two gentlemen are well-educated. They must know the rise and fall of each dynasty, and know the balance between civil and military affairs. But they should also know that the distinction between civil and military affairs was not true before the Han Dynasty. It was common for civil officials to lead troops to fight and military officials to take office as prime ministers. Even when they arrived in Tang, military officials managed the place, and scholars led troops to expand the borders were still in history. Although these two dynasties were destroyed by military officials and rebelled, they also established the prosperous era of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Until our Taizu knew the disadvantages, it made the civil and military even more alienated..." Since talking about history, Zhao Bing also expressed his own point of view.
He knew that the Song Dynasty was another period of China's transition from division to unity. It reversed the situation of the decline of central government in the late Tang Dynasty, the decline of central government for more than a hundred years, and the endless social wars, which brought feudal autocratic centralization to a peak. "The root of political affairs is greater than the official system." The reason why feudal autocratic centralization in the Song Dynasty could last for three hundred years was that the administrative management system laid in the early Northern Song Dynasty did play a great role.
The Zhao Song Dynasty established by launching a military coup, in order to stabilize people's hearts and reduce the threat from the old forces to the new dynasty, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin did not touch the bureaucracy of the Later Zhou Dynasty. During the Taizu and Taizong dynasties, they also adopted the method of "pseudo-department and still remained". However, this was just a strategy. They punished the five dynasties of "the king was weak and the ministers were strong", "the separatist vassal of the vassal states", and "the military ministers were abusing power" and added new institutions next to the old institutions.
However, the official system formulated by the two old men was not only aimed at military personnel, and scholars were also on guard against each other. For example, three departments were established next to the Secretary of the Central Committee; three courts were established next to the Ministry of War, and other judicial officers were established next to the Ministry of War, and three courts were established next to the Ministry of Justice; and three courts were established next to the Ministry of Justice; and three secret halls were established next to the Secretariat. They were established next to the Emperor's Office of Justice, and so on to divide the power of the ministerial power and the power of the provincial and ministerial temples. Even if a large number of old officials were retained to receive their salaries, they could not control the real power, and they were also allowed to control each other, so that the emperor could control and control it.
At the same time, in order to combat the arrogance of the military people, the Song court also formulated various systems to restrict military officials. For example, setting up multiple levels of military officials and chasing them for border merits, without any extraordinary merits or special achievements, there is no reason to surpass them. Therefore, the civil officials and the civil officials and the official envoys must each have nine turns. At the same time, in a step-by-step manner, the civil officials and civil officials in the capital were appointed as magistrates and county officials, so as to take over the power of the local governments, such as military officials and military officials, "one change every three years, and the position of the outside world is relegated to the outside world." The military officials who were originally in charge of the local government were given generous salary, and their power was deprived, making them a noble rank for military officials to transfer.
"Your Majesty said it is right. Taizu ruled the world with scholars, but weakened the power of the prime minister and suppressed the power of the military. He really had the intention of establishing imperial power!" Ying Jieyan had to admit that Taizu's national policy in the early years of the founding of the country, so that scholars would curb the military and prevent the separatist rule of the vassal state from happening again.
"I think this strategy of Taizu was to invade the two powers and take the least, not to put the military man to the lower level. It was just that the literary style after Renzong became increasingly popular, and the military man's status became increasingly inferior, and he adopted the strategy of controlling martial arts with literature. As a result, there were few victories in the Khitan, the Battle of Western Xia and the subsequent battles against Jin and Meng. I think the two gentlemen know about this..." Zhao Bing said.
He divided the Northern Song Dynasty into two periods before and after using the relationship between Emperor Zhenzong of Song and Renzong, and compared the changes in the status of those who came from the Shufu military profession and made a comparative analysis of the policies before and after. The later official system was becoming increasingly strict with the military man. If a soldier had gained military merits and promoted, he would not affect others' discrimination against him because of his change in his identity. The alternative Wang Deyong and Di Qing had almost the same experience in the Privy Council as Ma Zhijie and Cao Wei's ending was exactly the same.
Especially during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song, the Xifu Changer, who was born in a military general, was either a mediocre person and was despised; or he had a small military merit, he was suspicious and attacked, and he was almost a decoration. After the arrival of Jiayou, the Privy Council actually became the unified world by civil officials, while the military generals were almost eliminated. The phenomenon of mediocre and cowardly military officials being the throne of the Pufu was really ridiculous, and it confirmed the name of the weak Song Dynasty.
"Your Majesty said it is a bit biased. This strategy has been guaranteed to the Song Dynasty for three hundred years, and it is not a shame to give military officials!" Ying Jieyan was not very excited after listening to the young emperor's great argument. He knew that the scholars had an unshirkable responsibility in the current situation in the Song Dynasty. He also changed his view of Your Majesty. He thought that this child was not well-educated in classics and history, but the way of the sage king was clear.
"Mr. This is a bit reluctant. Zhang Yan, a man at that time, once commented: The Song Dynasty treated military officials with great honor and less rituals." Zhao Bing smiled and said, "The Prime Minister Fu Bi was even dissatisfied with it. He said: The Privy Councilor was in charge of the military commanders of the world and the military power of the emperor. Those who had no reputation and lacked talent in entering the Western Palace will inevitably be ridiculed by the people of the world. I believe that these are also known!"
"This... I know, but I think Your Majesty changes the military official system, which is parallel to the civil servants, so that they can transfer capital, and they need to be cautious!" Ying Jieyan had to admit that the strategy of using civil servants to control martial arts was ruined by the scholars, which was suspected of being overcorrected, but he was still cautious about His Majesty's change of the official system.
"What the sir said is good, but if this defect is not eliminated, it may be difficult for the soldiers to use their lives, and restoring the country is even more empty talk!" Zhao Bing frowned after hearing this. Although he agreed that there would be obstacles to changing the official system, the following words cannot be said to be unimportant.
It took Zhao Bing a few years to understand that the low status of the military men in the Song Dynasty was not only reflected in the distribution of power, but also in the promotion. These were not only manifestations of the extremes of the policy of "using civilized military power" at that time, but also the product of conservative politics during the period of Empress Dowager Liu. It seemed that only in this way could the status of military generals be suppressed to the extreme.
There were differences between ranks and military positions in the Song Dynasty. Martial officials represent the rank of officials, and they were not in real positions. At the same time, the ranks of military officials were promoted to the corresponding grades, but this also became a tool for scholars to suppress military personnel. In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the official ranks were used as 30 ranks, and the official ranks and titles were basically based on the "Tang Official Order". The civil and civil ranks and military officials were each twenty-nine ranks. Except for the lack of the first rank, there was no difference between the first rank and the first rank, since the first rank and the first rank, the first rank and the second rank were below, and there was no difference between the civil and military officials.
Things changed in the Zhenghe year. Taking the "Edict on Change of the Name of Officials in the Military" as the boundary, it was divided into two stages: the old name in the early stage and the new official name in the later stage. However, regardless of the new and old names, the martial ranks were composed of several levels: the chief official, the official official of the county, the rampant official, the chief envoy of the Ministry of the Ministry, the deputy envoy of the Ministry, the ambassador, the minor envoy, and the palace servants were not classified as miscellaneous ranks. The characteristic of the new name was that the martial ranks at different levels were combined into the 52 levels from the Taiwei to the Chengxinlang, but the civil officials had not changed, forming a different system of civil and military affairs.
During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, further adjustments were made, the Zhulang Commander was moved under the high-ranking official, and the unqualified martial arts rank Jinyong Deputy Guardian was added, and the second level of the guard Que Jinyong Deputy Guardian was increased to eighth level; plus the 52nd level of the rank, totaling sixty levels, and it was used by military officials and eunuchs. The most direct influence was that the martial artists had long journeys to promotion.
