Private property is sacrosanct, which is beneficial to everyone, and there is no need to worry about the emperor taking other people's things for himself with a casual word. Naturally, there was no objection to this. The main point of contention was the fact that the prince was guilty of the same crime as the common people.

Everyone worked hard to help Liu Xin fight the world, nothing more than to make a wife and son, live a good life, and become a privileged class of the Han Dynasty, even the Chen Palace, who has always been upright, is not exempt from vulgarity. Now the princes have committed the same crimes as the common people, not to mention their children and grandchildren.

The Kuai family was one of the earliest scholar families to follow Liu Xin, so there were many children of the Kuai family who were officials in the court. When Kuai Yue heard this, he was the first to stand up and said loudly: "We should make a statement to Your Majesty, this move is very inappropriate!" ”

Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and others all echoed each other. In fact, there is no one in the Guo Jia clan, but Tang Xian just gave birth to a son for him, and he is very nervous.

Seeing that everyone was arguing and shouting, he got up and said, "Don't panic, Your Majesty's move is also for the good of everyone, and also to prevent the children from being arrogant and arrogant, and finally ruining the future." I thought that everyone could add an article to the charter. ”

Chen Gong frowned and asked, "Which one does Gong He mean to add?" ”

He looked at the charter that everyone had just drafted, and said, "Didn't Your Majesty ask us to draw up our respective duties?" Why don't we add that all edicts and laws issued by His Majesty in the future must be reviewed by the Cabinet. ”

Cheng Yu hesitated: "This is too harsh, Your Majesty, will he agree?" ”

Tian Feng waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty said to Tian a long time ago that power should not be excessively concentrated in the hands of the emperor, Your Majesty asked us to draw up these charters, Tian thought it was exactly what it meant, I think he would agree." ”

Kuai Yue frowned and said, "Then can this new law still be changed?" ”

Fu Zhu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, how can something that has already been promulgated be easily changed? Let's go back and take care of our children. ”

The next day, it was time for the three-day court meeting, which was attended by cabinet scholars and six scholars, and the content of the discussion was naturally the constitution that they had painstakingly drawn up.

In fact, the Cabinet and the six ministries have been in operation for some time, and their respective responsibilities are quite clear, as long as they make some slight adjustments. Therefore, the focus of the discussion is also on the power of the emperor, the cabinet, and the six ministries.

Liu Xin couldn't help but laugh after reading the charter they submitted. In this charter, almost everything except for the future promulgation of laws and edicts must go through the cabinet, and almost everything else must be approved by Liu Xin.

This charter is very different from Liu Xin's original intention, Liu Xin shook his head and said, "Don't put any power on my head. I would like to make an opinion that in terms of the appointment and dismissal of officials, I will only decide on the appointment and dismissal of the Cabinet Scholars, the Six Secretaries, and the chief and deputy officers of the major legions, and the rest of the officials shall be appointed and dismissed by you in accordance with their respective duties. In addition, in addition to deciding on foreign wars, other functions are also exercised by you. ”

Seeing this charter, Liu Xin finally understood why the Ming Jun in ancient times was so tired, because the power was concentrated on him alone, and he naturally needed to do more.

The ministers were still worried about Liu Xin's dissatisfaction with the opinions they put forward, but now that Liu Xin had delegated so much power to them, everyone naturally had no objections, and they all nodded in agreement.

In fact, this is also an important step for Liu Xin to limit imperial power. The ministers were able to think that Liu Xin had gone through the cabinet consultation before promulgating the law and edict, which was already a great progress. However, the ministers were obviously not so thoughtful, and they were relieved to see that Liu Xin did not raise objections to the policy that restricted him, so Liu Xin's proposal was quickly approved.

Three days later, at the next court meeting, the bylaws written by the ministers were adopted, and the power of the emperor was greatly weakened. The appointment of officials under the county guard is decided by the cabinet, and there is no need to ask Liu Xin again.

However, Liu Xin's control of the army is firmly in his own hands, and as long as he controls the military strength of the major legions in his own hands, the regime will be stable.

A few days later, Liu Xin held a prisoner sacrifice meeting in Taimiao.
