The emperor's golden mouth has been decided, and the people below only need to implement it step by step.

The date of the execution has been set, and the ministers have settled down, and this matter has finally come to an end, and there is no need to worry about being implicated in a wide range of cases, and the work can return to the normal track.

The emperor beckoned to the palace officials, and the palace officials understood, took out a scroll from behind, and bowed to the emperor.

Everyone was suspicious, guessing what this thing like a holy decree was going to express.

The emperor took the scroll, held it in the air with one hand, and said, "Who can guess what the content of this thing in my hand is?" ”

The ministers whispered, but they didn't dare to answer the emperor loudly.

"Guess what, Prime Minister?" The emperor asked Li Gang.

Li Gang said: "It's the holy will, the minister is stupid, and he can't guess." ”

The prince asked Qu Ping again: "What does Prince Xiang guess?" ”

"It's the finale!" Qu Ping also followed with the mud.

"You don't think you guessed." The emperor shook the scroll in his hand, "Guilty of his own edict!" This is my own edict! ”

The ministers were shocked and panicked.

"Your Majesty, you are wise and martial, what a crime!" The Ministry of Rites said eagerly.

Li Gang also said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this! These are all dirty deeds done by Qin Hui alone, and they have nothing to do with the emperor! ”

Qu Ping didn't speak, the emperor said before that he would make an edict against himself, and he thought he was just talking about it casually, but he didn't expect it to be really taken out today!

The emperor put the guilty edict on the table, pressed his hands to the ministers, signaled everyone to be calm, and said: "I am the son of today, and I do not distinguish between good and evil, which is against the grace of heaven; I am the king of a country, but I am loyal and good, and I have a negative subject; I am ...... The human heart is long, the naked eye is mortal, and like you, eating grains and giving birth to all kinds of diseases, there are naturally times when mistakes are overlooked. Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. Without going through tribulations, it is impossible to become holy. Therefore, I must have the courage to admit my mistakes, and also make a mark for the world and improve together! ”

The hearts of the civil and military officials were shaken, the emperor had such courage, and he would definitely be more charming!

Li Gang said: "The ministers also have the responsibility of supervision and reporting, please let the ministers join the emperor and apologize to the world!" ”

Qu Ping said: "The minister is also responsible, Qin Hui caused today's disaster, all because the minister did not prevent it from happening!" ”

As a victim, Qu Ping also has to bear the responsibility for the crime, and the ministers are full of admiration and petition: "The ministers have been derelict in their duties, please let the ministers and others accompany the emperor and apologize to the world!" ”

The emperor was also relieved to see that everyone was united, and as a result, his pressure on the thousands of subjects in the world suddenly decreased a lot.

The emperor said: "Okay, just add civil and military officials." Our monarchs and ministers advance and retreat together, share glory and disgrace, and create a prosperous world of peace! ”

All the officials shouted in unison: "The emperor is wise, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Qu Ping was very admired and relieved in his heart, with a good emperor like Zhao Gou, the Great Song Dynasty was the master of the world! If one day in the future, he leaves here, Da Song should still move forward, right?

After the early dynasty, the emperor left Qu Ping alone.

When everyone left, Qu Ping asked, "Your Majesty, why do you leave your ministers alone?" ”

"I'm like asking, what does Aiqing think, to transfer Wu Lan to the secretary of the Criminal Department?" Zhao Gou stared at Qu Ping's eyes seriously, he was afraid that Qu Ping would form a party and really become a hidden danger in the future.

Qu Ping is right, he is not afraid of the emperor's question, and said: "Marquis Wushun has a high position and light power in Chengdu, and he is a little overkill. But where the Wu family's reputation lies, leaving him in the distance, after all, he is afraid that the tail will not be lost. It is better to take this opportunity to transfer him to the power center of Beijing, which seems to be promoted, but in fact, he will be sent to the control of the emperor and realize centralized power! ”

The emperor looked at Qu Ping fixedly: "Why does Aiqing want to be like this, you don't have a little ...... Selfishness? ”

Qu Ping is from the future, and he is a nationalist soldier, who started from scratch in this era, without family drag, in addition to being loyal to the monarch and serving the country, what is the meaning of blindly using power to satisfy his own selfish desires? There are no more than three meals a day, one meal is no more than five dishes and one soup, and the sleep is no more than a six-foot bed.

"The emperor's family situation also knows that if it weren't for Ping'er from the royal family, the minister and Xiao Lu would have no relatives in the world. Now, only the royal family is the minister's relative, in this regard, who does the minister not help the emperor to help? ”

"You didn't think about the future?"

"Of course, the minister has to think about the future." Qu Ping said, "If the emperor is wise and virtuous, he will naturally be peaceful and prosperous for all generations, and he can ensure that my future generations will be safe." On the contrary, if the minister only values his own power and selfish desires, after all, he will only be powerful and rich for three generations. ”

The emperor smiled and said, "You have a very far-sighted view. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is your brother-in-law, of course he helps his relatives!" Qu Ping said with a smile.

"Take advantage of me!" Zhao Gou relieved himself and said, "Wu Ling has entered Beijing, and now Wu Yu is missing." ”

"No, Your Majesty. The ministers will work hard to invite the king of Ningxia, the prince of Mengguo, and even the king of Yunnan to help you enter the capital! ”

The emperor hesitated for a moment: "So...... Luckily? ”

"Your Majesty, the order is forbidden, and there should be a capital to ensure that the place is not chaotic. As long as the authority is set up reasonably, the personnel are properly allocated, and the dispatch of government decrees is natural and smooth, the world can be in an orderly manner, and finally the rule of inaction can be realized! ”

The emperor nodded yearningly: "I hope so!" ”

Qu Ping walked up the ladder and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a fresh and bold proposal!" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"In the early years of Jianyan, considering that the power of the three provinces was too large, only six ministries were left behind, and now there is only one justifiable prime minister Li Gang and one me who has no appropriate authority. The powers of the six ministries have increased, and the tasks are also heavy. The more opportunities to use your hands, the fewer opportunities to use your brains. ”

"What does Aiqing mean?" E-Book Workshop

The minister suggested that the six ministries should be the executive departments. The decree is decided, and there should be a special parliamentary body on top of the six ministries! ”

The emperor was puzzled: "Above the court, isn't it an opportunity to discuss politics?" ”

Qu Ping said: "Above the court, there are many people, after all, it is a bit general, and it is difficult to do it in detail. ”

"How to do it finely?"

"Each department of authority performs its own duties, discusses opinions internally, and then submits the results to the place under its jurisdiction. In this way, with layer-by-layer management and overall planning, the emperor only needs to discuss the national situation with the fixed functional departments on a regular basis, instead of arguing with the officials in the court with a red face! "Qu Ping's proposals are all based on the functional departments of later generations.

The emperor thought about it seriously, if Qu Ping's proposal could be effectively implemented, it would indeed streamline the political discussion and save him a lot of time.

"Interesting, keep talking!" The emperor said.

Qu Ping unfolded layer by layer: "Pay equal attention to civil and military, but we must separate the military and the government, perform their duties, and use their greatest energy to do one thing well!" The minister suggested that the Cabinet Office and the Governor's Office be added to the six ministries. ”

"Cabinet Office? The Governor's Palace? The emperor became curious.

"Yes. The cabinet is in charge of internal affairs, and the governor coordinates the military aircraft. The cabinet, the governor's officials and the six ministers are appointed by the emperor, and the officials below the six ministries are appointed by themselves after seeking the emperor's opinion. ”

"Do you want the military council?"

"It was set up temporarily, and now we will have a more complete and advanced organization to replace it!"

"What about the interior of this cabinet and the Governor's Mansion?" The more the emperor listened, the more interested he became.

"The top officials of the Cabinet Office and the Metropolitan Governor's Office live in one or the first rank, and the officials under them are in the first rank or the second rank. The head of the Cabinet Office is still called the prime minister, and he is under the command of six auxiliary ministers; The person in charge of the Governor's Mansion was called the Governor, and he led the six generals. ”

"The general of this Governor's Mansion is easy to be confused with the generals in the army......"

"That's called ...... Total Soldiers! Qu Ping said on a whim.

"Commander-in-chief? Commander-in-chief soldiers? Well, that's a good name! The emperor agreed, "How can the cabinet and the Governor's Office be connected with the six ministries?" ”

Qu Ping asked: "The Cabinet Office has jurisdiction over the Ministry of Households, Officials, and Rites, and the Governor's Office has jurisdiction over the Ministry of War, Criminal Affairs, and Industry. Your Majesty, do you think it's appropriate? ”

After thinking about it, the emperor said: "Reasonable! The Governor's Office is in charge of the military, the military department is a sword soldier, the criminal department is the criminal law, and the Ministry of Industry is a sharp weapon, which is related to each other, that's all! ”

"The Cabinet Office and the Governor's Office each have their own dependencies, but they are not unrelated to each other. The two ministries have the right to make decisions for themselves and the right to propose to each other. ”

"Nice, reasonable and coordinated! In that case, I just need to discuss politics with these ten ministers on a regular basis! ”

"If necessary, the personnel of the six departments can be summoned." Qu Ping added.

"There is a division of labor, so that we can do fine work, which is very good." The emperor has obviously recognized this system, "The prime minister of the cabinet is Li Gang, and the governor of the Governor's Mansion must be the only one!" ”

"Your Majesty."

"The subordinates of each ministry are a little difficult to choose......"

Qu Ping had his own candidate in his heart, and said: "The minister is the governor of the Governor's Mansion, and he has a preliminary consideration for the four subordinates. ”

"I want to hear about it."

"The military department Shangshu Lu Hao asked, Yue Fei, Duke of Muguo, Han Shizhong, Duke of Shunguo, Zhang Jun, Duke of Lieguo, and Li Changzuo, King of Ningxia, and Kutura, Duke of Mengguo!"

The emperor was stunned for a moment and said, "King of Ningxia, Duke of Mengguo? Aiqing wants to use this way to transfer them to the capital? ”

"What does the emperor think?"

In this way, on the one hand, it can give them a greater sense of belonging and identity to the court, and on the other hand, it can weaken their dominance in various places, which is indeed killing two birds with one stone. But I have questions, why didn't Li Changzuo change to the king of Yunnan? Li Changzuo is now in charge of the government and is not in charge of the army, and his strength is not as good as before? ”

"First, the king of Yunnan still has an important role in the southwest, and second, it seems that the emperor did not enter the governor's mansion specifically to transfer them out of his comfort zone, so that they would not think about it and serve the emperor wholeheartedly."

The emperor looked at Qu Ping with emotion and said, "Aiqing is really well-intentioned!" ”

Qu Ping bowed to thank the emperor for his praise, and said: "Over there in the Cabinet Office, the emperor and the prime minister will discuss it again, and the minister will not interfere." ”

"It's fine. The military department is still in the Governor's Mansion, who can replace this position? ”

"Liu Guangshi is thick and fine, and he can be the secretary of the military department. Acting upright, going up and down, can save the emperor a lot of heart. ”

The emperor agreed: "If you say it intentionally, then it will be so." Tomorrow I will discuss it with the Prime Minister. ”

"The minister will also find an opportunity to explore the situation with the king of Ningxia and the prince of Mengguo in advance to ensure that this matter goes smoothly." Qu Ping said.

"If each department performs its own duties, if the style of work is lazy, or colludes with the party, or suspects each other, how can it be prevented?"

"This is the second point that the minister wants to propose to the emperor next!" Qu Ping said, "The establishment of the Supervision Yuan, one bright and one dark, openly supervise and inspect the administrative performance and style of officials at all levels, secretly collect all kinds of secret reports in the world, cover the situation in the world, and grasp the trends in the world!" ”

The emperor thought to himself that this is good, the Supervision Yuan can cover the situation in the world in the open and in the dark, not afraid of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, not afraid of forming parties for personal gain, not afraid of people gathering in troubled times, and knowing the situation of all countries in the world, knowing oneself and knowing the other.

"Good Inspectorate! How and who is responsible? The emperor asked.

"The Supervisory Yuan is only responsible to the emperor, from the cabinet governor to the Shinong industry and commerce, all have the right to intervene."

The emperor worried: "Isn't that too much power?" ”
