An imperial decree shocked the world.

When this imperial decree was announced in the court, everyone was shocked.

Six departments are sacked!

This is unprecedented, and this move immediately triggered violent turmoil.

However, this cession was not directly abolished, but was demolished and shattered.

The Ministry of Personnel alone was divided into four small parts, basically each department was equivalent to one department. Although the functions did not change, the overall power was more scattered and the organizational structure became more complex.

The most changing is the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War directly has no direct military power, but only retains four parts: national defense staff, logistics armed forces, personnel organization and strategic planning. All military power is directly subordinate to the Military Council. This inconspicuous military Council is not the final say of the emperor. Whether it is war or mobilizing troops, it requires the consent of more than half of the members of the Military Council.

The simplest example is that the emperor now attacks whoever he wants to attack. After the military reform, the emperor said he wants to attack whoever he wants to attack, but more than half of the people in the core circle disagree and can directly reject the emperor's proposal.

In other words, the imperial power was caged, but at the same time the emperor also had a privilege, which was to initiate a decision to remove other members. If passed, no matter who it was, he would be directly removed.

In addition to unified command of the national armed forces, the Military Council also takes into account many special functions, such as formulating military regulations, issuing decisions and orders, deciding military strategies and combat policies of armed forces, managing national defense scientific research and production and national defense assets, funds, etc.

In other words, after this imperial edict, the military and political power has been completely decentralized, and all current systems will be abolished. After a new round of relevant military bills is issued, they will become a fully military.

In addition, the current military system will be reorganized, the military system of ban, wing, prefecture, township, etc. will be abolished, and the military district will be changed to military district positions, and the military district commander will manage and control the basic contents of the military district.

Then there is the relevant promotion system, which changed from the original singleness to the current multi-channel nature. The army should have independent talent education and training capabilities, and some professional intensive training can be carried out in the army.

The military system has also changed to a conscription system. The military service was forced to serve, but the years of service were shortened to five years. During these five years, the army will be responsible for cultivating relevant skills and paying equal remuneration. However, if it is in wartime, the retired soldiers have unconditional obligations to join the army.

After the change of the military system, the number of state's standing troops will be sharply reduced to one-third of the current level, but the military budget remains unchanged. In other words, while the number of troops is reduced, military proficiency has also been greatly improved, and special personnel are used. Soldiers are only responsible for war and disaster relief in special periods, and no other matters are allowed to participate.

To sum up, this is the general meaning of this ten thousand words imperial edict, and the rest are some related and determined details.

If you want to interpret it carefully, it can actually be interpreted that military forces are mobile and will no longer become private soldiers of a regional leader. Moreover, due to the reduced scale, the treatment and equipment of soldiers have been greatly improved.

In addition, the overall discipline and obedience of the army can also be guaranteed.

The deeper meaning is to eliminate the possibility of the birth of "a certain army", because after the military region system, the barracks are still iron-clad, but the generals and soldiers are all flowing. The numbers at all levels will never be erased unless the battle is eliminated. However, the soldiers in it will be replaced continuously, so that the situation where soldiers only recognize the generals but not the central government can be eliminated to a great extent.

Compared with the reform of the military system, the reform of the civil service system is not so prominent. Although it is also a touching knife at the earthquake level, it is actually just a functional division and personnel dispersion, and the core content has not changed much.

Therefore, it is relatively easy to accept compared to military reform. Moreover, the civil officials are very honest now, especially after so many people have handled them, and they have become much more honest. Although many people have objections to such government orders, they think that they are much better than the nobles, so they naturally pinched their noses and accepted them.

So, are there anyone happy?

In fact, there are also people. Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate should be the happiest people. These three departments have separated more advanced functions. Dali Temple has more powers to formulate and revise laws, and the criminal part has separated from public safety and national security functions. The Censorate has directly become a procuratorial department, discipline inspection department and verification agency.

The Office of the Interior, which had the emperor, was directly upgraded to the Secretariat and enjoyed a special function, which was to have cross-regulatory authority with the three ministries of public security, procuratorial and judicial system.

The court officials actually have little opinions on these things. What really makes them feel uncomfortable is the ultimate magical change of the examination system.

What is it said that after three years of pilot project in Chang'an, it is proved that the imperial examination system has very big loopholes and requires a complete reform.

First of all, the number of admissions to Mingjing Department has dropped sharply from 70% to 10%. To put it bluntly, this is to leave a way out for the families of senior officials or families of heroes and nobles who are too useless. After all, they have devoted their lives to the country, and they have to stay for the good and bad.

The remaining 90% were directly replaced by liberal arts and science, namely art.

Among them, there are three principles, five skills, and one is one. Those who read the books of sages are still reading books of sages. The proportion of this article has not changed. The real ones are those who are in the Mingjing subject, but many people are dissatisfied with why the ratio of science accounts for half.

They were theoretically dissatisfied, but no one listened to their appeal, because this imperial edict was only informed rather than discussed.

Even the imperial edict says between the lines that if you don’t accept it, you can rebel.

But who is willing to rebel in the current situation? And it is said that it has cut off the upper class, but it is not that they have given them a chance. After all, no matter what they study or what they take, their social resources themselves are much more than those of ordinary people.

But they felt a little disgusted when they thought of competing with those mud legs.

In addition to these contents, there is another more important reform content that is that the school is fully state-owned, and all tuition fees and book fees for the first five years are exempted. In the next five years, you can choose whether to continue studying or to study in the vocational skills school established by the workshop. After learning, you can provide the allocation.

It seems that the learning level is low, but it is not. Because after the reform of the new examination law, a student who wants to become an official must go through a five plus four plus three plus four before he can take a civilian exam. Moreover, the content of the exam is all-encompassing and running across the Chinese and Western countries. If he is not a top talent, he should not even think about it.

However, this 17-year academic system is not forced to be completed, and you can leave halfway. If you can finish it, you can basically be called the pride of heaven. Even if you become an official, you still need to take the exam, but anyone who can come out of a higher education institution will not have any difficulty in society.

So this is the most difficult point for those senior people to accept, because after such reforms, if their descendants do not succeed, their families will be defeated...

In the past, the people had been planned to make a big splash, but now everyone in these clans found that they were really unable to shout. Whether it was public opinion, force, or even financial resources, they were suppressed in all aspects. Now, even the imperial court is fighting for the control of those untouchables.

This is really uncomfortable.

The news of the reform reached outside the court, and it didn't matter if it was illiterate. There were stories about the storytellers in all villages who changed this matter into stories to tell those who could illiterate.

I don’t know where these storytellers came from, as if they had emerged overnight. The key is that no one dared to touch them, because after these people told the untouchables, even the most useless and cowardly mud legs now knew that if they were wronged, they could go directly to the letter messenger and dictate. The letter messengers distributed in various places would pass these things to the censor.

As for whether it can be transmitted, no one knows. But what if, people are not afraid of this ten thousand, but that one.

The major reforms and major renovations are naturally not something that can be solved by an imperial edict. From the date of the imperial edict, the government offices of various departments lighted the lights all night and worked overtime. They sorted out files and separated government affairs, and the other end of the army was even more busy.

But at this moment, Emperor Zhao Xing of the Song Dynasty was invited by Emperor Yelu Fo Baonu of Liao Kingdom to go to Liaoxindu for a state visit on his way back to China.

At this moment, when civil and military officials were in a state of great difficulty, Zhao Xing was lighting the stove in front of the old house in Handan City to eat hot pot.

"I'm an old house." Zhao Xing sighed, "I just let the Liao people take it out of thin air."

There are people in the house. It is a prince from a side door in the Liao Kingdom. If someone changes to cook a pot at his door, it would be strange if he doesn't turn off the stove.

But today's person's origin... he can't mess with him. Not to mention that the emperor of Song was also treated with emperors in Liao, even if he was a prisoner, he could not easily insult him, otherwise he would be despised of the imperial power.

"Where is Brother Yelu?"

"Return to His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, I will tell His Majesty you...you..."

"Say it."

"It's too embarrassing to say you are... Your Majesty doesn't want to come."

"Hahahahaha..." Zhao Xing shook his arm: "It's just a revisiting place. Now there is a new master in this house, so how can I disturb you? A gentleman should do something gentlemanly, so who can lose this?"

"Yes, yes, what His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty said."

Just when Zhao Xing was stooling meat, Fo Baonu received a letter from Liao Xindu. After reading the contents of the letter, she took a breath.

"It's really done..."

She murmured to herself, her face full of disbelief, because the news was simply subversive to her.

If it were me, I would never dare to play like this. This would be too ruthless and I would be gamble on the national fortune.

But when he thought of the Song Emperor Zhao Xing who knew everything but obviously didn't care about it, Fo Baonu finally realized what Song Gou said to him, "It's not that I am great in Song Dynasty, but because of Zhao Xing."

With his courage, mind, vision and belly, the emperor who seemed cynical and ignorant of human affairs alone, he seemed to have no airs, but his airs were the Song Dynasty behind him that was at its peak.

Will some people look down on him because he eats in a small yard on the roadside? Will some people think he is a fool because he is playful and lustful? Will some people ignore him because he looks like a big child?

No, even if he does nothing, he will be a mountain just standing there. Nothing is for nothing, just because he is the most prestigious person in the strongest Song Kingdom, even if he spat at him, it may lead to a crisis of destruction.

This is called momentum and majesty, instead of writing a poem with an airtip that cannot be looked back at in the moonlight, that's nothing.

Fo Baonu thought for a moment, sighed softly, changed into winter clothes and took people to the place where Zhao Xing had midnight snacks.

"Oh, isn't this Yelu Brother?" Zhao Xing crossed his legs: "Come on, eat something to warm up."

Fo Baonu was too lazy to pay attention to it. She just sat opposite Zhao Xing, looked at the Emperor of Song who was drinking and eating small meat, and asked, "Are you worried?"

"What are you worried about?"

"You are reforming in your country...you are eating and drinking here."

Zhao Xing stopped chopsticks, picked up a silk cloth towel and wiped his mouth. Fo Baonu thought he was going to speak generously, but he didn't expect that he just went to find a sip of sweet fruit wine because of the pepper.

After drinking the fruit wine, he cleared his throat. Fo Baonu felt that he was finally about to start this time, but he stuffed a large piece of mutton into his mouth.

"The mutton from your Liao Kingdom is really good, are you grassland sheep?"

Fo Baonu's facial features were almost distorted. She strengthened her tone and asked, "Why did you answer the question?"

Zhao Xing raised his head: "Do you know what I sent to Jinling?"

"What?"

"Jade Seal."

Seeing Fo Baonu being so shocked that he couldn't speak, Zhao Xing looked at him with a comfortable look: "I will live up to the national sect, and the national sect will live up to me. Let the smart people do things for smart people, and I am only worthy of being the one who enjoys the benefits."

"Where did you get the trust!"

"Does everything in the world require a reason?" Zhao Xing asked back.

Fo Baonu was speechless: "If so..."

"You are not very good." Zhao Xing waved his hand: "I'll ask you a question, brother."

"You said that."

Zhao Xing was not too anxious: "When I eat my mouthful of meat."

After taking a few more bites, Zhao Xing spoke, "Who taught your emperor's way?"

"Teacher, father, mother, subject."

"Well, that's true." Zhao Xing nodded: "But mine is not, mine is taught by the people."

Buddha Baonu: "????"

"Have you heard that those who win the hearts of the people win the world? Those who overturned all dynasties have never been literati and officials." Zhao Xing raised his head and drank a glass of wine: "As long as I stand firmly by those who don't care about you, there will be no one in the world who can hurt me at all."

After saying that, Zhao Xing also stood up: "Let's go, brother. The night is breeze, I'll take you to the brothel."

"The genius wants to go shopping in brothels with you!"
