Chapter 957: Each shows his powers

The screen listened silently from beginning to end, only occasionally the screen moved, showing that the person inside was still there, Liu Guan drank the sour plum soup and continued: "After Renzong ascended the throne, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Huang Huai, etc., the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion were ranked, and Yang Rong was added to the Ministry of Industry. In this way, the bachelor of the fifth rank has the title of Shangshu of the second rank (and later entered the first grade), and has the rank of the ruling minister. Therefore, the chief scholar, the so-called first assistant, actually has the function of the prime minister, but there is no name of the prime minister, and the officials of the world are headed by the cabinet, how is this force, there is no need to say more about the lower officials, the little prince must be able to imagine it!"

The screen said in a humming voice: "From the cabinet to the sixth department, most of them are scholars, once the climate is formed, this force is enough to give the emperor a headache?"

Liu Guan nodded and said: "That's true, so what the emperor wants to do, the civil officials have to take care of it, since I was in Yongle, the civil officials want to regain the lost power, so they constantly want to restrict the emperor, in this way, the emperor can't help but be a little worried, if it is the male lord, if it is the young lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty, then the entire government is not ......accused by the civil officials?"

There was a pause in the screen, and he said loudly: "You mean that the emperor let the eunuchs study, but he actually wants to use the eunuchs to fight against the civil official group!"

Liu Guan said with a smile: "It can be said that since ancient times, emperors have governed the country, in addition to taking the world as their own responsibility, they also need a means to balance the court, otherwise even the emperor will not be able to do anything?"

There was an oh in the screen, but he didn't answer.

Liu Guan continued: "The strength of civil officials is strong, which will inevitably arouse the emperor's vigilance, so there need to be checked and balanced, and the emperor's energy alone is limited, only to use the eunuchs around him, they only want rights, and they must rely on the rights given by the emperor to fight against the civil official group, so that the government and government maintain a balance in the struggle, and the emperor only needs to grasp the balance from it!" The emperor is wise and resolute, and he doesn't want to see the civil officials grow, so he reuses the eunuchs in a timely manner, and sees the emperor doing this according to the lower officials, in the final analysis, he still wants to balance the cabinet system?"

There was a sound in the screen, since Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, in the operation of the emperor and the cabinet, he pioneered the system of "voting and drafting" and "approving red". That is, the cabinet has the power to "vote", that is, to draft various documents on behalf of the emperor, most of which are the approval of government affairs documents. It can be discussed with the emperor first, and then drafted into a written text after making a decision, or more often the cabinet first prepares the reply text and sends it to the emperor for approval together with the original request document. The emperor used a red pen to reply on the chapter and the ticket, which was called the approval of red. If the emperor disagrees with the contents of the proposed vote, he may change it or send it back to the cabinet for him to draft, which is called "changing the vote".

After these processes are completed, there is the last one. That is, "seal seal", any document must be covered with a jade seal to have legal effect, which of course everyone knows, and the person in charge of the seal is not the emperor himself, but the eunuch who holds the seal. Because the emperor could not personally handle state affairs, and did not trust the ministers of the cabinet, he let the most trusted eunuchs master the last threshold for approving government affairs, and most of these eunuchs were illiterate, and could not play the role that the emperor wanted, you can win the game, because the eunuchs derive their power from the emperor, and they must be attached to the emperor.

After this analysis, the two secretly admired Zhu Zhanji's intentions, and it took a while to hear the screen say: "I am inseparable from the eunuchs and civil officials, since Hong Wuye, the eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, although Yongle Ye has been reused, it is just the power of the factory guard, not to interfere in politics, and now the emperor openly set up an inner study hall, so that the eunuchs can read and write, and participate in political dignitaries, so contrary to the ancestral system, how can those civil officials agree?"

Liu Guan said: "You can't promise yourself, it's just ......?"

"Just what?" said the man in the screen.

Liu Guandao: "It's just that after the abolition, my capital procuratorate has suffered a lot of vitality, and it may not be able to play a role?"

The man in the screen said: "This matter is against the great affairs of the ancestors, and the emperor is not only facing your Imperial Court, but also the cabinet and the six ministries may not be willing to agree!"

"Oh, what do you say about the little prince?" Liu Guan's eyes lit up, if it was difficult to compete with the emperor by relying on the Duchayuan alone, after all, the emperor still had Dongchang in his hands, or Jinyiwei, these people were not vegetarians, and they really angered the emperor, so Jinyiwei and Dongchang would bring their own Duchayuan together, and it would be worth the loss.

If there is a cabinet and six ministries involved, then it is not afraid, even if the emperor will be angry, he may not dare to openly fight with the cabinet, and it may not be impossible for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to seek some benefits from it, and then take a step back and say, even if the emperor is angry and dares to compete with the cabinet, it is the cabinet that is unlucky, and his own Metropolitan Procuratorate may not have anything to do, and this move can be said to be harmless to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The man on the screen continued: "The cabinet has the power of "drafting", that is, drafting various documents on behalf of the emperor, most of which are the approval of government affairs documents. It can be discussed with the emperor first, and then drafted into a written text after making a decision, or more often the cabinet first prepares the reply text and sends it to the emperor for approval together with the original request document. The emperor used a red pen to reply on the chapter and the ticket, which was called the approval of red. If the emperor disagrees with the contents of the proposed vote, he may change it or send it back to the cabinet for him to draft, which is called "changing the vote". Once the eunuchs become stronger, depending on the momentum of the emperor, the power to change the vote is greatly allowed to the eunuchs, so that the eunuchs can override the cabinet, above the six ministries, just ask those cabinet ministers and officials of the six ministries will let a eunuch be powerful on them...... In this matter, you only need to guide the Metropolitan Procuratorate from it, and the rest will be handed over to the Cabinet, and if the Cabinet wants to strengthen the civil and official group, it will definitely not agree to this move, and then there will be a fight, at that time, Lord Liu will leave the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and take the opportunity to write a book, if the emperor is angry, he will beat the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so that it will inevitably chill the hearts of the world's scholars, so that the monarch and the ministers will deviate from morality, and our goal will be achieved?"

Liu Guan thought about it carefully, and felt that there were many advantages and disadvantages to follow, and it was indeed a good way to strengthen the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he bowed down and responded: "

The subordinate obeyed. ”

The man in the screen said: "This matter is very important, but you have to be careful, if there are any changes in the future, you can come here, and Xiao Wang will inform you again!"

Liu Guan answered again and stopped talking.

"This matter is very important, Lord Liu should go back to prepare earlier, Xiao Wang won't stay much!"

Liu Guan came back to his senses at this time, not that he was not interested, but in fact, this house was too comfortable, so he was a little reluctant to leave, and always wanted to take it for a while, wait for the day to be smaller, and then go back, but people had no intention of staying at all, and it was not good to stay long, so he got up and hugged his fists and said: "Yes, retire from your humble position." ”

Liu Guan has an excellent memory, and he doesn't need the guidance of the little guy, he walked out of the wing room through the corridor and hall, and was about to go out of the vermilion lacquer gate, but he heard a little guy shouting: "Lord Liu, please stay?"

Liu watched the sun outside the courtyard, his heart was a little worried, and when he heard the shouts of this little guy, he was overjoyed, and said in his heart: "Could it be that the little prince asked him to stay in this room for a while?"

But he saw the little guy panting out, handed him a well-packaged box in his hand, and said: "My little prince said that Lord Liu likes calligraphy and painting, and this "Jin Mingchi Bidding Map" by Zhang Zeduan of the former dynasty was specially brought to Lord Liu, so that Lord Liu could go home and enjoy it.

Liu Guan really collected a lot of silver taels for the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he felt bored when he had more than two silver taels, after all, he was a reader, and with a silver reader, he inevitably had some artistic pursuits, and in many art fields, he didn't like poetry, nor did he like to listen to small songs, not to mention what novels and scripts, his only hobby was calligraphy and painting, and among the many calligraphy and paintings, he only had the picture scroll of Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty and Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy, which was somehow known to the little prince, and he was still looking forward to it some time agoRiverside Scene at Qingming Festival , made him really happy for a while, this is also to make him make up his mind, promised to help the little prince use the Metropolitan Procuratorate to deliberately make Zhu Zhanji abolish, at first he was a little worried, but this matter has passed more than half a year, no one has been held accountable, his courage has also increased, these days and the little prince contact is also frequent, from which he has a lot of benefits, Zhao Mengfu several calligraphy and paintings he has a collection, at first he was afraid that the little prince would get some fakes, deliberately found a master to identify the authentic works, in this way, he also worked a lot harder, at this time I heard that it was another picture scroll of Zhang Zeduan, Deng Shi was overjoyed, said: "The little prince is too polite, how can the lower officials be embarrassed to accept it?"

The little guy smiled and said, "My little prince said, a few calligraphy and paintings are nothing, Lord Liu doesn't dislike it?"

Liu Guan hurriedly said: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!" As soon as the words fell, a pair of hands couldn't help but stretch out.

The little guy smiled a little disdainfully and handed over the calligraphy and painting.

Liu Guan didn't look much, hugged the box and arched his hand out of the vermilion lacquer door, it was a sedan chair man to see his master come out, and looked at the sun, a little reluctant in his heart, he wanted to wait, but when he saw his own lord's excited appearance, he dared to say more, so he had to put down the sedan chair and let Liu get on the sedan chair, with a shout, the four of them braved the poisonous sun, gritted their teeth and walked out.
