Hearing someone's opinion, Li Guanqi took a look and found that it was Dongfang Rui, the secretary of Dali Temple. Since Li Guanqi ascended the throne, especially after getting rid of Zu Donglai, he has given certain rewards to officials in Beijing, but those are almost all material rewards, and he is very cautious in the awarding of official positions and titles. Even when Zu Donglai fell and many important positions were vacant, he only sealed the cabinet trio and Ying Tianfu Yin.

Therefore, this Dongfang Rui's Dali Siqing sat on it when he was in the Mu Zong Dynasty, but his age is not very old, he is only in his early forties, with a Chinese face, a handsome expression, and an elegant temperament.

Li Guanqi still has a good impression of this national "chief procurator of the Supreme Procuratorate", and he is not a person who can't listen to opinions, so he immediately smiled and said: "It's Dongfang." There is nothing to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Dongfang Rui saluted Li Guanqi and said: "Your Majesty, as mentioned in the new law, in addition to the six scholars in the Central Palace, there are about ten bachelors of political affairs. In other words, there will be fifteen or sixteen prime ministers in the imperial court, and even if it is reduced by half, there will be as many as eight. In this way, there are so many people in the central government who make decisions, what if there are differences of opinion? ”

Duan Botao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was very supportive of the reform of the official system, and immediately said on the side when he heard this: "Why should Lord Dongfang worry about the sky, isn't there an emperor?" What the central government can't decide, it can be judged by the emperor! ”

Dongfang Rui didn't want to let go, turned to Duan Botao and said, "Is it possible that the emperor has to decide everything himself?" If so, then what's the use of the central government? ”

"Orient, calm down. I'm here to answer your questions. Li Guanqi said with a smile: "Do you know why, I set up six university scholar positions, but only three people were sealed?" ”

Dongfang Rui was stunned, to be honest, he really hadn't thought about this problem. I had to answer honestly: "I don't know." ”

Li Guanqi said with a smile: "I said at the great court meeting on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, one piece and one relaxation, and the way of civil and martial arts. In order to ensure your rest and better contribute to the society, I am allowed to give you a five-day break. But the center is important and inseparable from people at all times. Scholars are also human beings and need to rest, so I have only set up six scholars so that they can be divided into two shifts to take turns on duty.

In the same way, the Bachelors of Parliament are also on duty in turns, and I believe that in general, the Bachelors and Scholars on duty can make decisions; In case of a major event, the Cabinet may convene a meeting of the Cabinet to discuss and decide if the participants cannot reach an agreement. Scholars can also make decisions directly, but the consequences are also borne by the person who made the decision; If there is a great disagreement between the scholars, they may express their opinions, compile them into a book, and submit them to me for adjudication. ”

In fact, Li Guanqi has already considered Dongfang Rui's concern, so he is now confident. After talking, he smiled and said to Dongfang Rui: "Dongfang." What do you think of this? ”

Dongfang Rui thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "This is very good." ”

Qin Minzhong saw that everyone had no other opinions, so he continued: "In addition to the university scholar and the bachelor of political affairs, the Central Mansion also has three bachelors of supervision. Serve five grades, attend cabinet meetings, and hold the right to refute. ”

Everyone originally heard that this inspector was only a five-grade petty official, but they didn't care, who would have thought that the supervisor bachelor was humble. But weight. The right to refute! This is the power that only the original prime minister had, and the prime minister at that time was only one person.

Sure enough, Qin Minzhong then said: "The supervising bachelor can seal and return the edict, and the lower can refute the hundred official chapters." If the edict prepared by the central center is considered unreasonable by the supervising bachelor, it can be sealed back by explaining the reasons. After the amendment by the Central Government, it will be promulgated if it is approved by the Bachelor of Supervision. If not, it shall not be promulgated. ”

As soon as Qin Minzhong's words fell, Duan Botao got up again and said, "Your Majesty, this superintendent is inferior and powerful, if he abuses his power, wouldn't it be detrimental to the implementation of the imperial court decrees?" ”

Li Guanqi smiled and said, "Duan Qing is extremely worried, I already have a countermeasure, and I can prevent it from happening. ”

"Please show the emperor!" Duan Botao hurriedly bowed and said.

Li Guanqi cleared his throat and said, "First of all, this inspector naturally wants to choose outstanding people to be left to avoid them being irresponsible and abusing the right to refute.

Secondly, each edict can be sealed and returned up to two times, and if it is returned three times, it will be submitted to the court by the central government. If the Council considers that the Inspector is correct, the person who drew up the edict shall be removed from office; If the Council finds that the Central Council is correct, the Inspector shall be dismissed. In this way, the edicts of the imperial court must be carefully considered decisions. What do you think? ”

Li Guanqi's setting, because it involves the black yarn hat of the parties, is equivalent to invisibly putting a tight spell on both the Central Government and the Supervision Bachelor. On the one hand, the Central Government must face up to the authority of the Inspectorate, and cannot make decisions with a pat on the head. On the other hand, the Inspector cannot be irresponsible and abuse his power.

What Li Guanqi wants is this mutual restraint between his courtiers, and only in this way can he better maintain balance. As for whether the inspector will seal or return his edict, he doesn't bother to care if he will be swept away.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Qin Minzhong continued to explain the new official system, and the ministers present also listened attentively one by one.

In fact, these ministers have understood that this new official system is much better than the previous one, and this is jointly formulated by the emperor and the three scholars, the imperial history of Zuodu, and the servants of the ministry, and there is no harm to their interests, although from time to time there are still people who put forward opinions and suggestions of one kind or another. However, it is impossible to make major changes to this set of official systems, and at most some detailed modifications will be made.

At this time, everyone is thinking more about which position they can be assigned to? There is no one who can sit in the palace of diligence at this time who is not an important minister, and there is no one who is not an old official who has been in the sea for a long time. Instead of dwelling on things that have no "practical significance" such as the reform of the bureaucratic system, it is better to take some time to think about the practical benefits that will follow.

Now the situation is very clear, six scholars, and there are still three vacancies; The three most eye-catching positions in addition to university scholars are also vacant; There is also the inspector who has a low position, but he has the power to refute it, although the people in this room don't look down on themselves, but they are all thinking about installing their own people.
