Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Zhao Ji had waited in Tai Chi Palace for more than ten days. It was March, but he never saw Ge Bing, Liu Shikai and others again.

There were more than a thousand people returning with him this time. Some other people came to visit him. Every time he saw him, he looked anxious.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhao Chen came to the Tai Chi Palace, and he found that Zhao Ji was writing something on the paper.

"What is Grandpa doing?" Zhao Chen smiled.

Zhao Ji was taken aback. He raised his head and saw that it was Zhao Chen. He immediately covered the paper with his hand! He wrote the list of appointments of courtiers! In these days, he had already thought about which ministers should be appointed after he took office. Ge Bing would become the prime minister, Liu Shikai would become the privy envoy, and the other ministers would be hired! As for the millions of troops, it is natural that most of them will be abolished. Zhao Chen's current military aircraft department must all rush to the local area, and Zhao Ji will regain control of all the political affairs.

"It's nothing. I haven't written for a long time since I came back from the north, so I came to practice calligraphy." Zhao Ji said with a smile.

"Is Grandpa okay in Tai Chi Palace these days?" Zhao Chen said.

"Okay, everything is fine! It's just a little lonely." Zhao Ji said.

"I heard that people outside the palace often visit Grandpa! If grandpa is bored, he can also go out of the palace and take a look! This Yanjing city was once the capital of the Liao Kingdom, and the scenery is good! There are also some surrounding Yanjing. Some mountains and lakes, grandpa can also go out of the city to play, I will let the soldiers go with grandpa." Zhao Chen said.

"Ah! I can go out of the palace?" Zhao Ji said in disbelief.

He originally thought that after he came here, Zhao Chen would definitely monitor him closely, and it would be difficult for him to leave the palace! It's like when he was in Kaifeng, after Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he was soon put under house arrest! Although Zhao Chen did not say that he was under house arrest, he did not dare to leave easily.

"Of course you can go out of the palace! Even ordinary people can play around, let alone the Supreme Emperor of Song Dynasty? After the child became the emperor, there are not many rules in the palace. Empress and Supreme Emperor can leave the palace at will, just need to have The guards follow and protect your safety." Zhao Chen said lightly.

What he said is true, he will not limit Zhao Ji's freedom at all! Zhao Ji goes wherever he wants. He also knows Zhao Ji's political ambitions, but he doesn't take Zhao Ji's ambitions in his mind! This world is his Zhao Chen's world, the ministers of civil and military affairs are all drawn by him, and hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians in the world worship him crazily. No one, even the former Supreme Emperor, can do anything in this era!

Zhao Ji was in ecstasy at this moment. He thought about it, but couldn't help but ask: "Ge Bing, Liu Shikai and others have not come to see me for many days. Did something happen to them?"

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Some time ago, more than a dozen ministers tried to subvert the court, and they have been captured and sent to prison. After the court made a verdict, they have been exiled to the northwest."

"Ah!" Zhao Ji stayed there for a while, and after a moment, said: "How is it possible? How could they subvert the court?"

"They admit it themselves! If grandpa is interested, you can go to the court to ask for the file! In fact, they came back from the north, and they have suffered all the hardship. The court gave them houses and silver. If they can't make it through, the court will still Continue to support them! They can stay in Yanjing City, where they are carefree and live a prosperous life! But they are still dissatisfied, have become common people, and even want to control the government, try to subvert the court, violate the court's laws, and the court also They have to be exiled!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

Zhao Ji's face suddenly became pale!

"Grandpa is not too young, and he is slowly enjoying himself in Yanjing City. Although the imperial court pays more attention to thrift, it is far inferior to Kaifeng, but it is countless times better than in the Five Kingdoms City! Grandpa, don't you think?" Zhao Chen Tao.

Zhao Ji nodded silently.

"The child will often visit Grandpa after he is free." Zhao Chen said.

"Ge Bing and the others are not too young. Now they are exiled to the northwest, I'm afraid they may not be able to withstand the bitter cold of the northwest!" After a while, Zhao Ji was a little unwilling to say.

"They can stay in the five-nation city, and they should be able to stay in the northwest! Moreover, after they arrive in the northwest, they will not be engaged in farm work! There are millions of young people in the northwest, and those young people also need someone to teach them. They can teach them to read. It can be considered as a contribution to my Song Dynasty." Zhao Chen said.

"Where is Xun'er these days?" Zhao Ji said again.

In the past few days, Zhao Xun was not in the Tai Chi Palace. Zhao Ji was busy with "political affairs" and no longer cared about this grandson. However, after suddenly waking up and knowing that he would never get involved in national affairs, he finally remembered Zhao Xun.

"The queen is lonely in the palace alone, and Xun'er is only four years old, so it happens that the queen teaches him." Zhao Chen said lightly.

"The queen is the daughter of the anti-thief, how can she teach me the descendants of Zhao Song?" Zhao Ji said angrily.

"The queen used to be the first talented woman in the Northwest. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy, and she is just right to educate her. Grandpa, if there is nothing else, the child will leave!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he headed outside, where Zhao Ji shouted angrily, but it was a pity that Zhao Chen didn't stop at all! Zhao Chen was very disappointed in his heart for this grandfather who had little affection! When Zhao Ji came back from the north, he could enjoy the blessing. Zhao Chen would not lose his eating, drinking and fun, and would not restrict his freedom, but he was a subjugated king who tried to subvert the court! With Zhao Ji's ability, if he is really in the position, I am afraid that this country will go along the old road again, and the current good situation of Da Song will be destroyed! He was disappointed in his heart, so he didn't want to talk to Zhao Ji more, and his attitude towards Zhao Ji was very cold!

Zhao Chen has already gone far, and Zhao Ji is standing at the door of Taiji Palace blankly, his eyes are dim, as if he's getting older all of a sudden! Feeling that he could no longer control the political affairs, he was discouraged and felt that there was no point in living anymore! In fact, when he was in the Five Kingdoms City, he was looking forward to coming back! As long as he can come back, even if he is an ordinary citizen, he is willing! But after returning, he immediately wanted to control the government!

Zhao Ji returned to the imperial study room. In the evening, he called Yu Yunwen to the imperial study room and asked about the construction of the court.

"Your Majesty, there are courts in all of the more than 500 states and counties in Yanyun and Central Plains! In addition to the courts, there were still many soldiers staying in various places. Now more than 500 states and counties have established patrol houses. The system of this patrol room is different from before. The previous patrol room completely obeyed the orders of the prefects and prefectures, and the patrols were also formed by the prefects and prefectures! Now, although the patrol houses also obey the orders of the prefects and prefectures, they have great autonomy. Right, they also have to obey the orders of the upper-level patrol room! It’s just that the number of patrols is a bit small now, and they still need to expand their recruits!"

Zhao Chen nodded. He knew that the current patrol room was very similar to the public security bureau of later generations! In ancient China, "Quai Kuai" was entirely appointed by the county magistrate, and the fate of "Quai Kuai" was determined by the individual county magistrate. Nowadays, the patrol room is set up separately from the county government. Even the county magistrate can hardly manage the specific work of the patrol room. !

"You can recruit some people from the northwestern youths to become patrols! Are there other problems in the courts and patrol rooms?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, after many people commit things in towns and villages, it is often the locals who use lynching without going through court at all! Weichen thinks this should be changed." Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

In fact, in ancient China, the government never really managed to reach the village level! The clans in the countryside are powerful, and if anyone commits a crime, they will be punished by the clans!

But now, Zhao Chen naturally cannot continue to tolerate this phenomenon.

"On the one hand, let people from the Propaganda Department go to towns and villages to do more publicity, so that the villagers understand that going through the court is the proper way after a crime, and no one has the right to lynch! If someone uses lynching, he will be severely punished! In addition, Let patrols from all over the country go to the countryside. If someone uses lynching, arrest them immediately, without mercy! This two-pronged approach will put an end to lynching in the countryside! In fact, Yanyun and Zhongyuan have just regained the wealth of many landlords in the countryside. The homes were all killed by the Jurchens, and many villagers were made up of people who wandered around. There are very few large clans. Now is a good time to change the concept of villagers!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, there is another question. The current court legal system uses the old old laws. Your Majesty once said that many of these old laws are ridiculous! You said that you want to enact a new law, but it takes too long to specify the new law. Not good at this! Your Majesty, I hope you can choose some other ministers to formulate the new law." Yu Yunwen thought for a while, said.

"Relocate Li Ruoshui from Hanzhong and let him take charge of the formulation of the new law! The formulation of the new law is not a matter of a moment. It may not be completed in a few years. In the future, the country will change and new laws will be added continuously. ! I guess Li Ruoshui would not be able to accomplish this by himself! Some of the most fundamental and important laws need to be discussed together by the Military Aircraft Department, the Frontier Generals, and the young leaders of the Production and Construction Corps! Let Li Ruoshui find someone to do this first. At the end of the year, if we have time, we will gather all the important figures of the court to discuss together." Zhao Chen said.

"Good!" Yu Yunwen nodded, thinking it was a good idea! Combining the wisdom of everyone, we will be able to formulate a good law! Only with good laws can we better govern the country.

"Your Majesty, we have one more thing to say." After a while, Yu Yunwen said again.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, we have occupied the world now, how to select officials in the future? From the perspective of Weichen, we still have to adopt the imperial examination! Your Majesty should implement the imperial examination as soon as possible!" Yu Yunwen said.
