Cao Cao of the Han Dynasty wrote a book with Wang Xiu Shu: "Your bathes in the body and is full of virtue, and he is a legend in this state. He is loyal and capable of achievements, and is a world-class beauty. His name and reality are consistent, and he is far from the crowd.

The name and reality do not match, this is the chronic disease of the Song Dynasty's official system.

Zhao Xu actually realized this problem, but he wanted to reform but never thought about how to change it, and the impact was too great.

Once the official system is changed, power will be transferred. There are naturally so-called vested interests in power. Those who hold high positions naturally do not want to change it, because this matter is bothering and it is easy to change their power or even disappear.

In this way, the resistance will naturally come out.

Ouyang Bian said: "The so-called true name is mainly to restore the functions of the six ministries, nine temples and five supervisors, separate the power and responsibilities, and perform their own duties. Only in this way can the work be done well if the person is dedicated to the task.

The Zhengshi Hall is the integration of the three provinces under the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, and it is better to restore the system of the three provinces, so that Your Majesty can participate in the political affairs."

Ouyang Bian's tone was plain, but what he said seemed astonishing as a bolt from the blue in Zhao Xu's ears.

His heart beat, and he felt his breathing pause.

If that's the case, I'd like it so much!

Zhao Xu was extremely excited.

The power of the emperor of the Song Dynasty was not to do whatever he wanted. It was supervised by officials at all levels headed by the prime minister, especially the power of the prime minister was too great. All the three provinces of the central organization were under the command of the prime minister. The emperor actually could not directly manage the government affairs.

It would be fine if the prime minister supports him, then his ideas can be implemented. If the prime minister does not support him, his ideas will not even be able to leave the inner court.

There is a Tongjinyintai Department in the Political Affairs Hall, which originally belonged to the Ministry of Education, but after the merger, it became the Political Affairs Hall. This department is specifically responsible for the matter of refuting. The head of the Tongjinyintai Department of the Song Dynasty was called Zhisiguan, and the Ming Dynasty censors were keen on the tradition of being spanked. The glorious tradition of Zhisiguan of the Song Dynasty was to reject the emperor's edict.

However, the three provinces system has opinions from the Secretariat Province, and after the ministers gather, they will be handed over to the Secretariat's servants, and then drafted an edict according to the emperor's will, so that the emperor can participate in the decision-making legitimately.

This is a great benefit to the emperor!

But Zhao Xu thought for a while and frowned again. It was not that he didn't want to, but that the civil servants of the Song Dynasty were unwilling.

The civil servant group of the Song Dynasty not only focused on military generals, but also strictly guarded the emperor's power. So when Renzong ruled in his later years, it was not that he was willing, but that he was criticized when he spoke. If he was criticized too much, he would simply stop talking.

Ouyang Bian understood at a glance. He smiled and said, "Actually, this matter is not that difficult. If there are opponents, there will naturally be supporters. Many people have been dissatisfied with the official system of the Song Dynasty. Most of the scholars and officials are criticizing it. As long as Your Majesty releases the news, many people will express their support."

Zhao Xu suspected, "Really?"

Ouyang Bian nodded with a smile: "Yes, what is important is whether there is a reliable method of reform."

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "What is the idea behind Master Wang?"

Ouyang Bian's heart was shocked, but his face did not change at all: "I will convince the teacher."

Ouyang Bian actually understood Wang Anshi's attitude towards Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi was interested in tax system and military reform, but he was not very interested in official system reform.

In fact, it is understandable that if Wang Anshi himself wants to take power and reform, he has to set up more new institutions to implement reforms, such as the establishment of the Three Departments and the Regulations Department, such as the future proof of the Zhongshu Wufang and the Zhongshu Jianshu Jianshu, etc. These are institutions that can increase power.

If the official system is reformed, it will definitely slow down its reforms and will cause greater difficulty.

However, Ouyang Bian was also sure to convince Wang Anshi.

If you want to convince Wang Anshi, you will naturally associate the reform of the official system with Wang Anshi's economic reform. For example, through the official system, and then expand the power in Wang Anshi's hands, so that Wang Anshi will be much more interested.

What Ouyang Bian has to do now is to urge Wang Anshi and Zhao Xu to join forces to do this, instead of doing their own things, so that they will not repeat the old mistakes.

In the original history, Zhao Xu had no discussion with Wang Anshi on the change of the official system. It was not until the Yuanfeng years that when Wang Anshi, who had retired saw Yuanfeng change the official system, he realized that this happened.

Before this, Zhao Xu kept Wang Anshi completely confidential about this matter.

So much so that Wang Anshi was shocked when he found out.

Ouyang Bian said this, but Zhao Xu was actually worried. He started to talk about him, so Ouyang Bian stopped talking about it.

After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, Ouyang Bian opened the curtain slightly, and the cold wind in early spring surged in, making Ouyang Bian feel excited.

This time I came back, and had a conversation with Wang Anshi and Zhao Xu. Although I was having a good conversation on some things, some things changed in the end.

Although Wang Anshi strongly promoted him to the position of chief officer of the three departments and regulations, all he did was just what Wang Anshi wanted to do. Although those were also what Ouyang Bian wanted to do, they had been replaced.

Zhao Xu was still quite impressed by his ideas, but during the conversation, he attached great importance to Wang Anshi's ideas. Ouyang Bian found that his ideas were greatly reduced in importance to Zhao Xu.

This cast a cloud on Ouyang Bian's heart.

Is this the inertia of history?

After all, Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi are better than countless people in the world when they meet?

However, if you follow Wang Anshi's path to change, it will be in vain in the end!

When I came back this time, Ouyang Bian was thinking about doing a big fight.

By depriving the three officials of the power, then returning the power to the six ministries, nine temples and five supervisors, letting more people participate in political affairs, and through the reform of the official system and the examination method he did not say, a team of civil servants with high efficiency and integrity can be built, so that they can cope with the subsequent ups and downs.

But now it seems that this idea is impossible to achieve.

Neither Wang Anshi nor Zhao Xu supported him. He could not stand on the opposite side of these two people, support Han Qi, Sima Guang and others to oppose the reform, right?

Ouyang Bian was worried.

If this is the case, I shouldn't have come back at that time, so it would be better to go back to operate Gyeongju.

In Gyeongju, you can avoid the next big storm in the court, and you can also run your business in Gyeongju, and wait for the storm to stop before coming back to clean up the mess.

Now that I have to face the surging storm together, it is really not worth the effort.

He is now in the position of establishing the three departments and regulations, and must be regarded as a party member of Wang Anshi... Well, no matter where he is, it is considered.

Although Ouyang Bian found that his political views were different from Wang Anshi's, they were even more different from Han Qi, Sima Guang and others!
