Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

In the palace, Zhao Chen is hosting Yu Yunwen, Li Xianzhong and others.

It's just ordinary food, but everyone eats it's unusually sweet.

Zhao Chen looked at Yu Yunwen carefully, and he found that Yu Yunwen seemed to be much more mature than before! Sure enough, after two years of training in the local area, Yu Yunwen has grown again.

"Your Majesty, haven't General Yue come here yet?" Li Xianzhong said.

"They have to arrange military affairs in Korea, and it may take a few days before they arrive!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, do you have to withdraw from the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Education?" Yu Yunwen said.

"Of course, because now there is no need for the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Education and other departments." Zhao Chen said.

"Why do you want to remove the six parts?" Yu Yunwen said.

"The six departments are not withdrawn, but are completely merged with the Military Aircraft Department! I am preparing to reform the six departments. The current six departments are not enough to govern the entire country!" Zhao Chen said.

"Dare to ask your Majesty, how to reform these six?" Yu Yunwen said.

Li Xianzhong was also listening carefully at this moment! Although he is a soldier, he is naturally concerned about the fundamental system of the country when discussing now! Since the Sui Dynasty, China has implemented a three-province and six-department system. After the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, it has a history of six to seven hundred years. Since the establishment of the military aircraft department, the three provinces and the twenty-four departments, six departments and six departments under the three provinces have been established. The rights of the various departments under the six ministries have been continuously declining. Now that the world is stable, Zhao Chen is finally about to completely take action on the three provinces and six ministries! From now on, this world is no longer a world of three provinces and six departments.

"In the past, the six ministries were the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the Ministry of Industry. I think this division is not comprehensive! Governing the world is not just six ministries, and there is no need for many of the six ministries!” Zhao Chen Dao.

"Your Majesty is right." Yu Yunwen thought for a moment and nodded.

"Both of you talk about it, what other department should be added?" Zhao Chen smiled.

There was heavy snow outside, and the room was very warm. At this moment, someone had hot tea, and the three of them were drinking tea and talking about it.

"Your Majesty, the Minister thinks that the Ministry of Agriculture is indispensable! Food is essential for the people, and agriculture is essential! From ancient times to the present, there is no Ministry of Agriculture in the world. It is really inappropriate! Your Majesty wants to completely combine the six departments and the military department. For one, this Ministry of Agriculture is indispensable! In addition, culture, education, and imperial examinations are very important, and the Ministry of Culture can be established! The Ministry of War should be combined with the headquarters of the staff!" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

"Now commerce is more and more important, or should join the Ministry of Commerce!" Yu Yunwen said again.

"Today is too late, you write down your thoughts carefully, and we will discuss this together tomorrow morning!" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

"Good!" Yu Yunwen agreed.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Chen, Yu Yunwen, Wang Shu and others discussed the reform of the system in the Imperial Study Room.

In the afternoon, Zhao Ding arrived from the south, and Zhao Chen and Zhao Ding discussed the matter together! Zhao Ding had a lot of dissatisfaction with the reform of the imperial examination of education, but Zhao Chen told him his thoughts.

On December 23rd, Yue Fei and Wu Jie returned from Korea. Zhao Chen and Yue Fei, Wu Jie, Qu Duan and others discussed the transformation of the staff headquarters into the military headquarters! The military department is still divided into three departments: operations, intelligence, and logistics. In addition, the military is divided into two branches, the army and the navy. The power of the navy will increase in the future! What is the position of the head of the military in the new military aircraft department and so on.

From the beginning of December to the end of December, more and more ministers came to the city of Yanjing. During this period of time, Zhao Chen was extremely busy, and every day he discussed the reform of the country's political system with some important or close ministers.

By the time of the New Year's Eve, more than 120 civil and military ministers came to the city of Yanjing.

These more than 120 ministers can be said to be the officials with the highest status and the most power in the Song Dynasty today. They have chief and deputies of Tianxia 23rd Road, important generals of various armies, and important leaders of the Production and Construction Corps. , Plus some important prefectures, prefects, etc., and there are also some well-known literati and veterans in the world.

On New Year's Eve, Zhao Chen feasted on the officials.

On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, there was a festive atmosphere in the entire Yanjing City. Zhao Chen and more than 120 civil and military ministers came to the Palace of Lizheng and really sat down to discuss important matters.

The Lizheng Hall was full of neat tables and chairs. Zhao Chen sat on the top and the ministers sat below.

"Please see your majesty!" Seeing Zhao Chen stepping up, many ministers stood together and said.

They wanted to kneel down, but unfortunately there were tables and chairs in front of them, and there was no place to kneel.

"Sit down!" Zhao Chen said.

Everyone sat down together.

"In fact, since August and September, I have discussed with Wang Shu about the reform of the military machinery department! These days, ministers have come to Yanjing one after another, and I have also discussed this with you! Wang Shu, you come to tell everyone , The result of our discussion." Zhao Chen said.

Wang Shu is now in the first row below. He stood up, looked behind him, and said: "Our Military Aircraft Department has all discussed it. From now on, the Military Aircraft Department will be renamed the Government Administration Yuan to handle government affairs in the world! In addition, there were three provinces and six departments in the past. All are merged into the Council of Government Affairs! From now on there will be no more military aircraft divisions, no more three provinces and six departments, only the Council of Government Affairs!"

Suddenly the ministers below were in an uproar!

Most of them already knew the news, and many of them had personally discussed with Zhao Chen, but now that they heard this decision, some people are still shocked! They thought that such reforms would take a long time to be implemented, but they did not expect that Zhao Chen would let Wang Shu announce the news today.

"The Military Aircraft Department was originally dealing with war matters. It is no longer appropriate to continue to retain them! The Military Aircraft Department and the three provinces and six ministries can handle the affairs of the world, so naturally they should have been combined long ago! From now on, the Government Administration Council is the only government affairs department in the world. Office! The Government Council has a prime minister who will command a hundred officials! Ten ministries will be set up under the prime minister to manage various affairs in the world!" Zhao Chen signaled Wang Shu to sit down and said loudly.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, the ministers below quieted down again, listening carefully to Zhao Chen's words.

"The ten departments of the Government Affairs Council are the Ministry of Agriculture, which deals with agricultural affairs in the world, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Education, which is used to educate the world, the military department, which handles military affairs, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Finance. , Responsible for the world’s finances and taxes, and set up three departments, transportation, diplomacy, and construction, to manage road traffic, foreign negotiations, and construction in various places! Of course, this is a preliminary decision, and we have to carefully discuss and discuss it! Except for ten. In addition, a general patrol room is set up to manage the world’s patrols to ensure public safety.” Zhao Chen said.

The following more than 120 ministers began to whisper. Before they knew that the Military Aircraft Department was going to be changed to the Government Administration Council, but they didn't know the specific division of the Ten Departments, nor did they know that there was also the establishment of the General Patrol House.

"Your Majesty, what about the former Ministry of Justice?" Li Guang stood up and said.

"The Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the court are combined into one, and the highest court in Yanjing City is set up to manage the world's criminals! There are also courts of different levels in various places!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, what about the former Yushitai?" Li Guang said again.

"As for the Yushitai matter, we have been discussing with the Military Aircraft Department before, and we have not yet decided whether to belong to the State Council or the Supreme Court! If it belongs to the State Council, it is called the Ministry of Supervision. If it belongs to the Supreme Court, it is also the Supreme Court. The independent department of China! Today, I will tell you some of the decisions made by the Military Aircraft Department, and we will discuss this matter in detail in the next few days! You are all living in the inn south of the palace, and you have been discussing it these days. If you have any suggestions, you can come to see me at any time!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, aren't the courts all over the world under the leadership of the State Council?" A minister stood up and said.

"The court system and the Council of Government operate separately! The prince commits the same crime as the common people, and the court can sentence the affairs of the world and officials of the world, and no one can interfere! Even I can choose to amnesty only after the court verdict!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, how does the Consultation Bureau do? Is it under the leadership of the Government Administration Council?" Qin Hui suddenly stood up at this moment and said.

"The Consultation Bureau is a place to participate in and discuss politics. It does not participate in handling state affairs, and it should operate independently!" Zhao Chen said.

For Zhao Chen's statement, the ministers below do not have much opinion! In fact, the current Consultation Bureau basically has no rights. Most people regard it as a place for the elders of North Korea and China to provide for the elderly. Some businessmen have also entered the Consultation Bureau through bribery elections. In fact, they still don’t have much rights. It has improved some social status.

"Since the Advisory Board is discussing state affairs, I have discussed with Wang Shu several times and can be changed to Congress." Zhao Chen said again.

On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were discussing the division of the government affairs council. Some people thought that several ministries should be added, while others thought that there were too many ministries and should be deleted!

In the afternoon, Zhao Chen continued to discuss political affairs with everyone.

The selection of the prime minister, the selection of the ministers, the selection system of the prime minister, the selection system of the ministers, etc., must be determined. It is now the first day of the first lunar month of the tenth year of Xuanwu, Zhao Chen's tenth year ascending the throne, the war is over, the domestic economy is restored, and the basic system of the country is still chaotic. Naturally, Zhao Chen cannot tolerate it!
