The dispatch court was originally established by Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Guangyi, responsible for Shaoqing, supervisory and below examination classes, and appraisal of dispatch affairs. Later, the Mokanjing Dynasty official court was established, and the following year was renamed the judge's office. The dispatch court was also incorporated into the judge's office, responsible for the examination of the officials of the Beijing Dynasty, and the positions of internal and external envoys were divided into the positions of officials. Simply put, it was responsible for the assessment of officials.

The Court of Justice usually has two courts, who are responsible for the assessment and promotion of civil and military officials, and are mainly served by the Censor. Although the position is not high, they have real power. They are the kind of officials who are fighting to make friends in the officialdom.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Court of Justice actually exercises part of the functions of the Ministry of Personnel among the Six Ministry. However, in the Song Dynasty, the Ministry of Justice had long been undermined, and even the Minister of Personnel did not care about the affairs of the Ministry of Justice, so the assessment of officials naturally had to be independent of one department. This is the Court of Justice. From this, it can also be seen that the official structure of the Song Dynasty was full of loopholes from the beginning. Later, when the loopholes were found, they would directly patch them, and many unprecedented administrative agencies were born.

However, today's Court of Justice caused a major earthquake in the officialdom, because just in the morning court, Zhao Zhen issued an order to incorporate the Court of Justice into the Ministry of Personnel to be responsible for the appointment and removal of officials, examinations, promotions, honors, and transfers. Although this was originally the responsibility of the Court of Justice, the key was not here, but the fact that the Court of Justice was actually incorporated into the Ministry of Personnel.

The Six Ministry had been in name only since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Even the official positions in the Six Ministry could only become officials of the official rank, and did not control the power of the official position itself. The direct actual position needs to be determined by officials, which almost became a regular rule in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty.

However, now that the CPC is merged into the Ministry of Personnel, it is actually equivalent to returning the original functions of the Ministry of Personnel, turning the Ministry of Personnel from a false yamen into a real-power yamen, restoring the original functions of the Ministry of Personnel.

In fact, if we only look at the incorporation of the Judicial Office into the Ministry of Personnel itself, it is not a big deal. It is nothing more than changing some official positions. However, the impact of this incident is extremely important, because this is the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Ministry of Personnel has gained real power. And although it has only changed the Ministry of Personnel, will the other five ministries change in the next time?

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, although the six ministries have different functions, they are actually one. Now that the Ministry of Personnel has real power, the other five ministries will not be far from real power. But if the Ministry of War has real power, what should the Privy Council do? If the Ministry of Revenue has real power, how should the Three Departments deal with it?

The Privy Council and the Three Departments are both core institutions of the Central Committee of the Song Dynasty. If they are moved, they can almost be said to have to overthrow the entire officialdom. This is no longer an earthquake in the officialdom, but a reconstruction of the entire ruling institution of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, when the news of the incorporation of the Judicial Officer's Court into the Ministry of Personnel came out, the entire officialdom was sensation, and almost all officials were discussing the possible impact of this matter.

Compared with the shocks from the outside world, Zhao Zhen, who was at the core of power, Lu Yijian was very calm for the monarch and ministers. Even apart from the imperial edict issued by Zhao Zhen, there was no other explanation, nor any other five parts. Lu Yijian was also silent about this matter and did not seem to pay much attention to this matter.

The reactions to Zhao Zhen and Lu Yijian also made many officials of the Song Dynasty confused, so they turned their attention to Li Zhang, because they knew that only Li Zhang could solve their doubts. As a result, there were also guests in front of Li Zhang's mansion for a while, and everyone wanted to find some useful information from him.

"I closed the door and thanked the guests, and I said I was sick for a while and I will not see any foreign guests for the time being!" Li Zhang directly ordered the housekeeper in the mansion.

In fact, the incorporation of the Judicial Court into the Ministry of Personnel this time was not only the first step for Zhao Zhen to rectify the administration of officials, but also a test of their entire Song Dynasty officialdom. It was mainly to see their reaction to this matter. However, whether the officials support or oppose it, this change will be carried out. The difference is only the intensity of the change.

However, Li Zhang could stop others from thanking guests behind closed doors, but he could not stop his real friends. For example, someone came to visit this day, and Li Zhang could only invite the other party in. When Han Qi saw him, he smiled and said, "Brother Li, you must know my purpose. Is there anything I can tell me?"

Han Qi is one of Li Zhang's few friends, and the two met young people and have been in contact with each other frequently over the years, so he must not be kept out. Of course, Han Qi is also very considerate of Li Zhang and asked directly what he could tell him, and if he couldn't, he wouldn't force him.

"No one else has it, but I can still say a few words to Brother Han, but according to what I said, Brother Han, your official position may have moved recently!" Li Zhang replied with a smile. Han Qi is also one of the firm reformists, which has attracted Zhao Zhen's attention. In addition, Han Qi is a rising star in the officialdom, so Han Qi will be valued this time.

"Oh? Where do you want me to go?" Han Qi's eyes lit up when he heard Li Zhang's words. He had participated in the recovery of Yan Yun before, and played an important role in stabilizing Yan Yun later. However, he and Liu Ping were transferred back to the capital and had just served as the Right Secretariat, so he did not expect his position to change again.

"Prince's Court." Li Zhang said with a smile.

In fact, Han Qi made great contributions to recapturing Yan Yun before, and should have been valued. However, the officialdom of the Song Dynasty was ranked according to seniority. The officials above did not retreat, and the officials below could not be promoted, so he could only be temporarily placed in the position of the Right Sijian. Now, with Chen Yaozuo, Wang Sui and others being demoted, the position was naturally empty. In addition, Zhao Zhen needed to promote some young and promising officials for future reform purposes, so Han Qi was naturally the first group of candidates.

"Prince's Court!" Han Qi also showed an ecstatic expression when he heard Li Zhang's words. With his current position and previous political achievements, he would definitely not be able to go to the Privy's Court. Of course, there is no need to think about Privy's envoy, but even if he is a deputy envoy, he can enter the Political Affairs Hall to discuss matters, which is equivalent to becoming one of the ministers of the Song Dynasty, and this is also the ultimate dream of the Song Dynasty officials.

"Brother Han, you can enter the Political Affairs Hall at a young age. Although it looks glorious, you actually have to bear huge pressure. In addition, Your Majesty will have more things to deal with in the future. When you work hard, you will work hard!" Li Zhang said with a smile again, and pointed out that Han Qi went to the Privy Council this time to serve as the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council.
