Chapter 959: The Time to Progress

With a dignified formation, the minority and medium-sized people in the court will be able to see that there should be another way to do things, which is what Su You is going to do.

Here, the emperor's attitude is the most important.

I know my status in Zhao Xu's heart, but as a stable official, I should also know what to do and what not to do.

It is one thing for the emperor to favor you, but relying on the emperor's favor as the foundation of one's life is another thing, and you will inevitably be despised and despised by the court officials.

It is impossible for a master who is truly acquainted with scholars and nobles to get involved in such reputations as "lucky progress" and "flattery".

But how can we do it when standing with the court officials and gaining the favor of the emperor?

It's actually very simple - useful.

As long as you work for both parties, that's fine.

Zhao Xu is a king above the level. Although he is often impulsive, blind, makes mistakes, and makes tricks, he is at least concerned about the country.

This is what Su You and him have in common. If you grasp this common point, the relationship between Su You and Zhao Xu will be unbreakable.

As for the court officials, the characters were all kinds, like a revolving lantern, and Su You didn't expect to be valued by everyone.

He just needs to get the support of the group of people who do their best to this country and sacrifice their lives.

The Song Dynasty raised scholars for a hundred years. In fact, there were many such people in this era, but because they lacked theoretical tools, scientific and technological power and political experience from later generations, they were willing to kill thieves, but they were unable to turn things around.

What Su You has to do is hand over these things to their hands and tell them how to realize their ideals.

From small places to practice successful experiences that conform to the reality of the Song Dynasty again and again, then promote them among fellow practitioners, attracting more people with good fortune to participate, and finally forming a huge political force.

When this force enters the court, it will bring abundant positive energy to the court.

In real history, moderate reformists are not without them, but they lack a huge and solid foundation from the bottom, so they are suppressed by conservatives and reformists in turn, and even a bubble has not emerged.

Through more than 20 years of hard work, Suyou has built this foundation extremely solid and will definitely reflect it on the political game at the upper level.

Now, although the "reformists" are still in charge of the court, the person in charge has deteriorated and the talents have withered.

The descendants of the generation have become villains who only know how to fight and regain their positions.

Conservatives have long scattered all over the world, surrounding the central government with localities, and obeying the central government's orders.

But they were all veterans, and the reformists could not shake them, so they could only hunt younger generations like Su Shi to satisfy their hunger.

This is an opportunity, Su You decided to seize it.

At this time, what does the emperor need the most? What do he want to do the most?

In Su You's memory, a major historical event will happen next year - the Yuanfeng Reform.

The Yuanfeng Reform in real history did not completely solve the chronic diseases of the Song Dynasty, and eventually became a tool for Zhao Xu to consolidate his power.

Although the political power of the Song Dynasty had a major shift towards the imperial power, its help to the country was not obvious.

The imperial power of the Song Dynasty was the weakest in all dynasties in China. It is understandable that Zhao Xu had more power.

Suyou only needs to make the reform more refined and pragmatic on the premise of acknowledging this point, which will be beneficial to the country and meet the needs of the most political forces.

Under the banner of the emperor's will, under the banner of restoring the ancient system, and under the banner of regaining the grand pattern of the Han and Tang dynasties, and adding your own things to this place can make this official system reform rich and strengthen the body.

This is the effect of medicinal food, something that a skilled chef can produce.

The political system structure of the Song Dynasty was actually very reasonable. The problem was efficiency, execution, and responsibility.

Where is the best place to start? Where you are, you are the best target.

The censors, the emperor's eyes and ears.

The censor corrected all officials and advised the emperor to correct the emperor.

In the Tang Dynasty, each performed its own responsibilities, and gradually became one by the Song Dynasty.

But when did sharp claws grow in the ears and fangs grow in the eyes?

This is obviously a department that lacks checks and balances supervision. So can there be such a department that lacks checks and balances in the court?

The answer is yes.

However, such departments can only act as eyes, nose, ears, and mouthpieces. If they want to exist independently without any checks and balances, they must give up their minions.

In other words, the Censorate should only be a procuratorate, and only have the right to investigate, supervise, and prosecute major cases and public officials, and have the right to appeal the judgments of the judicial department, similar to the later Supreme People's Procuratorate.

The case, trial, and sentence must be handed over to the real minion department, Dali Temple, similar to the later Supreme Court.

In fact, the actual collection of certificates, investigations and arrests require the cooperation of local government offices, similar to the later public security.

Within the judicial system, the three powers are separated, each of them is responsible for their duties, restrict each other and supervise each other.

The system of the Song Dynasty was actually very advanced. As far as the judicial organs were concerned, they inherited the system of the Tang Dynasty on the one hand, and also had their own changes on the other hand.

First, upgrade step by step, and second, supervision, checks and balances.

In the central government, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice restrict each other, and then there is a criminal trial court to supervise it.

In the local area, due to the unity of judicial administration, all the power of affairs belongs to the magistrate's transfer envoy.

However, in order to make officials pay attention to the legal system, the Song Law also specifically stipulated that local officials must personally hear the case, otherwise they will be sentenced to two years of imprisonment.

In order to better supervise them, a prison prison department for the Trial was established at the road level to specifically supervise the judicial affairs of various prefectures and counties.

Such a system should be said to be very good. At least it was not until a thousand years later that such a department was re-established - the Legal Affairs Committee, and its power and strength were far inferior to that of the Criminal Department.

Therefore, because the reporting channel problems, communication and transportation problems that have disappeared in later generations, and the cost of investigations, and the inability to adopt flat management, the measures taken by the Song Dynasty were even more stringent than those taken in later generations.

The problem is that all this only exists in the system, and because of unclear responsibilities and powers, just like the Censorate, you can grab your eyebrows and beards with a few hands at the same time, which leads to people being overly erratic, procrastinating, and causing extremely low administrative efficiency.

Also, the administration was unclear. Although the officials of the Song Dynasty were still fair and honest, the officials were as clear as water and the officials were as slippery as oil, and their execution ability was reduced by more than half.

The most fundamental thing is that the salary of the officers is insufficient.

People don’t rely on your industry to make a living. They are a local tycoon, they have their own industry and have a status for their own convenience. How much effort do you expect to contribute to you?

Therefore, political issues can actually be found from economic and social issues.

Su You drafted an outline and wrote several lines of small characters with his pen - official system, politics, finance, military, water conservancy, transportation, people's livelihood, education, customs, and national standards.

The decisive factor for any system lies in people, so the first thing to do is to start with the executor of the system - the official.

The disadvantages of the national dynasty are four redundant things, namely officials, government, military, and poverty.

Taizu Honglie, who cut down the powerful vassals and separatist rulers, had his capitals and established the capitals and established the county and the nine gaoes. The north and south were repeatedly connected, and the world was almost in harmony. He used martial arts to stop the sword and achieved peace in the world, and was the lord of greatness.

He also punished the rebellion of Tang Ji, and collected elite troops from all over the world, wealth and power in the central and central courts. The upper and lower levels were at peace, and the inner and outer feasts were at home and outside. His martial arts were prosperous, and his civil governance was also beautiful.

The danger of the domineering and domineering states of the vassal states was to create a prosperous and prosperous style of literature. It declares the governance of cultural relics and the style of morality, benevolence and righteousness, just like the Han and Tang dynasties, which was not allowed.

After exaggerating, a turning point came - it was revealed that it had declined after a hundred years.

Next, we will start to talk about the problems encountered by the Song Dynasty. The ancestors did not recover Youyun, resulting in the lack of Pingxian in the north, so they could only use elite troops to surround the capital, and the four realms also deploy heavy troops.

It is beneficial to the enemy but not to us. Even so, if the enemy carries half a month of food, he dares to enter the country for three months, and sweeps away the people like locusts, which is called "grass-killing valley".

After several defeats, the country was burdened with annual monies and finances became increasingly difficult.

When His Majesty ascended the throne, the country was on the verge of collapse. He was determined to work hard, dared to make progress, and set off the old and new, and his atmosphere was completely refreshed.

After ten years of hard work, the passive situation has been completely reversed.
