"The Cabinet?" Li Gang looked at the emperor suspiciously, and even thought that this was a topic that the emperor deliberately found in order to change the topic.

Zhao Huan explained in detail the power and composition of the cabinet, as well as many constraints.

The term cabinet originally came from the Ming Dynasty, during the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that the prime minister was too powerful, and abolished the prime minister to strengthen the monarchy, and specially established a group decision-making and implementation of the body, into the Wenyuan Pavilion in the palace, because of the name of the cabinet.

Zhao Huan's purpose is, of course, to establish a group decision-making and error correction mechanism to prevent the incompetence of Song Huizong at the beginning, which will bring disaster to the country and the people. And the predecessor of his own body, the stupid act of opening the door and stealing.

In Zhao Huan's concept, the emperor is a cancer of the Central Plains Dynasty, because the emperor himself has this extrajudicial power and is not bound by any law, and this kind of extralegal person seriously violates his starting point of formulating new laws, anti-exploitation.

The courtiers whispered, and finally Li Gang shook his head and said: "Official, the cabinet aims to correct mistakes, this is a matter of admonishing Taiwan, and forming another cabinet is not a bit of a fuss?" ”

Zhao Huan stepped off the platform, asked Zhao Ying to move a chair, sat down with the courtiers, and said: "The only thing that gives advice to the platform is the right to admonish, if the emperor insists on going his own way, who can stop it?" For example, right now, I agreed to Yue Fei's notebook, didn't you just run to the palace? Not everyone is like me, with soft ears and can listen to people's persuasion. ”

"I prepared a big round table a few days ago, just to prepare for this, and after thinking about it, the cabinet is very necessary."

Li Gang looked left and right, closed his eyes for a long time and said: "In fact, the official family, most of the people don't know the name of the county affairs, and most of them know the name, and most of them have accidents. ”

"Until now, the name of benevolence of the official family has shocked all directions, but in some remote places in Sichuan and Shu, I don't know that the Emperor Taishang has conceded."

Zhao Huan pondered carefully, it seems that this is really the case, for example, when he was a small citizen in his previous life, he didn't know who the county affairs were, and most of them were on the news, so he knew what they were called.

Li Gang continued to say happily: "Official, during the Anshi Rebellion, about 15,000 Tang troops in the Western Regions were transferred back to the interior to quell the rebellion, Hexi and Longyou were transferred inward, and Tubo took advantage of the weakness to attack the Hexi Corridor. In the first year of Guangde, Lan, Kuo, He, Du, Tao, Min, Qin, Cheng, Wei and other prefectures all fell into the hands of Tubo. After that, the Tang Army of the Western Regions was isolated outside the territory for several years, and the Tang Dynasty changed its name, but the Lone Army of the Western Regions still used the old calendar. The lone army in the Western Regions is forty-five years. ”

Zhao Huan nodded, signaling that he had heard of this history, and said with a sigh: "Sigh the tears of heroes through the ages, and the admiration is never worthy of the nine heavens." But what does this have to do with the cabinet we are talking about? ”

Li Gang couldn't understand what he said, so he had to pick out and say: "The official family, we are all the courtiers of the official family, just what kind of cabinet is this, and it is not the official family's word?" Once the son of heaven and a courtier, according to the official family, the officials of the three provinces and six ministries have all entered the cabinet, and then what? Aren't they all based on the official family? It doesn't matter if there is a cabinet or not. ”

"Besides, the official family is Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven will not be wrong, nor can he be wrong."

Li Gang said it clearly and thoroughly, is this so-called cabinet really useful?

The cabinet ministers are appointed by the emperor, and the promotion and promotion of the cabinet ministers are decided by the emperor, and the size of the power is determined by the emperor's will.

Zhao Huan nodded clearly, the Son of Heaven is not wrong, and the ones who are wrong are all courtiers, just like when Emperor Taishang was at that time, the ones who were wrong were Cai Jing and Tong Guan. He completely pressed the cabinet to the bottom of the box, and he also tried to use the cabinet as a tool to correct the emperor's mistakes, but as Li Gang said, the emperor is not wrong, and the mistakes are all courtiers.

The starting point of the cabinet is to replace Zhu Yuanzhang after the abolition of the prime minister system, the establishment of a collective policy body, the purpose is to consolidate the imperial power. The Great Song Dynasty did not have a prime minister, but the establishment of a cabinet conflicted with the power of the prime minister.

"Speaking of what you asked me, why did you agree with Yue Fei and Han Shizhong's decision not to enter the army?" Zhao Huan sat upright, looked at Wang Yu with a smile and said, "Presumably General Wang knows what an old dog in the army is." ”

Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "The minister knows, but the names are different, the soldiers, ruffians, old dogs, and bitches are all words that scold us." ”

When Zhao Huan heard these words, he also said with a smile: "These words are all scolded generals, and many of them start from the lowest soldiers, for example, Yue Fei was a soldier of the dare team at the beginning, Han Shizhong also started from the first soldier of the Yongding Army, although Shen Cong has a kind of relationship between the righteous father and the young guard, but he also relies on his own ability to enter the Imperial City Division. ”

"The reason why these people are scolded is because they know the army they are in charge of well, they know a lot about the soldiers under their command, they can pull a bow of a few stones, how far they can run with a load, how much rice and noodles they eat a day, what they like to eat the most, what they like to do the most, who they have conflicts with, their personalities, how many people they have in their family, how many acres of land they have, and so on."

"These old dogs, who know so much, are thorns in the soldiers, and they can't get these soldiers, so they can only scold secretly, how to scold how to scold the ferocity."

"Some of the soldiers are thorns, some are unconvinced, everyone is a big man, get together all day long, it is inevitable that they will be vindictive, but these thorns just can't get these old dogs. Because these old dogs climbed up from the bottom step by step, and the thorns played with the leftovers of these old dogs, how could they fight? ”

"The most important thing is that these old dogs are still smiling all day long, looking like I'm very honest, just Wang Yu's smile now, you can take a look."

Wang Yu listened to what the official said, and remembered what he looked like in the army at the beginning, with a smile on his face, he remembered the group of recruits at the beginning, as the official said, the road they walked was a pit that they had fallen.

The courtiers turned their heads, and sure enough, they saw the honest smile on Wang Yu's face, which was indeed extremely deceptive, and there was no aggression at all.

Zhao Huan looked at Wang Yu's appearance and continued: "Although these people are the most scolded, the old dogs have won the trust of the soldiers, and they obey these old dogs, because these old dogs are the ones who can take them to survive the battlefield. ”

"This has formed the unity of the soldiers, the unity of the upper and lower levels, and the combat power is extremely strong, which is also the reason why the military leaders raised their arms and shouted during the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the Son of Heaven would rather have a kind of people, and the soldiers and horses were strong."

"That's why you're here today, isn't it? My Li Xiang, the times, it has changed. ”
