Then the dynasty dispersed, and the ministers of the various ministries and courts also returned to their own homes, and each went to find his own mother.

Meng Yan continued to be on duty, and he couldn't leave until the hour of the shift change, this was the rule, and he would have to take turns every month in the future.

This is an obligation that he must fulfill after he is promoted to a thousand households, and this official is not so easy to be anywhere.

Meng Yan was on duty in the palace, and he was a newcomer, and the newcomer was naturally concerned.

The standing guard force in the palace is the Han general camp of the Jinyi Guard, which is self-contained, although these people belong to the Jinyi Guard, but the real management of them is the horse Du Wei Jingyuan, the emperor's relatives.

Therefore, and Meng Yan is just familiar with the palace from time to time, and the Jinyi Guard can still be freely transferred.

The Han General Camp can be regarded as a place where the Fathers are concentrated, and any small school may be after the heroes of Fengtianjing.

There are also the Han generals' camps, all of whom are double-paid, and those who celebrate the New Year's holidays, as well as things and things, and the treatment is three points stronger than that of a seven-pin county order.

Meng Xian and Guo Nu are both from the Han General Camp, and being able to make a hundred households in the Han General Camp is quite remarkable.

Guo Nu also did a hundred households, after coming out of the Han General Camp, he didn't do a thousand households, and then he was promoted to a servant, Tongzhi, and now he has become a commander.

In the Han General Camp for more than ten years, it is only 100 households, and it is only ten years to come out from the Han General, from 100 households to the commander!

"Master Meng!"

"General Fan!"

Meng Yan and the guard general Fan Zhong changed shifts, ending the rotation of the dynasty this time. Leave the palace and return to the government office.

"My lord, Lord Guo is here." Since following Meng Yan, Guo Xiaochao's name for Guo Nu has also changed.

"Uncle Guo is here, did you say something?" Meng Yan was a little strange, Guo Nu almost didn't take the initiative to come to the Yamen of the Inspection Division to look for him, what's wrong today?

"I didn't say anything, but I ordered, and the adults came back from duty and went to see him immediately." Guo Xiaochao said.

"I see, you go get busy first." Meng Yan nodded. Guo Nu came to him. Eighty percent is related to the events at today's court meeting.

"Lord Guo didn't say hello in advance when he came, so the lower officials should be prepared." Meng Yan walked in with a hippie smile.

"Sit down and talk." Guo Nu turned against the guest as the main way.

"Lord Guo is here for the early dynasty, right?" Meng Yan sat down and smiled. Asked.

"I know you're smart." Guo said angrily.

"Lord Guo. You're not kind either. I just mentioned this cabinet re-employment to you, and you are talking about it in the blink of an eye? Meng Yan said dissatisfied.

"I know, I didn't talk to you about this. However, this is also something that cannot be helped, Yang Pu can't just retire all at once, and the cabinet still needs him to stabilize the overall situation. Guo said angrily.

"This cabinet has nothing to do with our Jinyiwei, I'm afraid it's not your idea." Meng Yan's eyes turned around.

"Yes, it's really not my idea, it's what Boss Hu Hu meant." Guo said angrily.

"This is the cooperation between Jinyiwei and the Teaching Division?"

"It's almost, but your idea of rehiring is still very good, at least Wang Zhen and those people can be suppressed temporarily."

"There doesn't seem to be anyone in the cabinet who is biased towards Wang Zhen, right?"

"There are some things that you can't see on the surface." Guo Nu said meaningfully.

"Someone in the cabinet is falling to Wang Zhen?"

"It's not enough to turn around, but it's not necessarily impossible to join forces or cooperate." Guo Nu said with some concern.

"Who is most likely to be the next first assistant?" Meng Yan asked.

"Chen Xun, he is the second assistant of the internal department, and he is also the servant of the ministry, once he is promoted to the first assistant, the position of the secretary of the ministry will not be able to escape." Guo said angrily.

"Who's next?"

"Cao Nai, when Sanyang was in the court, the cabinet affairs were handed over to Cao Nai, but Cao Nai's qualifications were not enough, and his prestige was insufficient, so if Cao Nai served as the first assistant, then he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to suppress others, and when the time came, the cabinet would inevitably have disputes again." Guo said angrily.

"Then who do Uncle Guo and Master Hu want to succeed as the first assistant of the cabinet?" Meng Yan asked again.

“……”

"Why, none of you have a suitable candidate?" Meng Yan was a little strange, and after talking for a long time, it was in vain.

"Stone, at the court meeting today, the emperor asked you if you have a way to choose one of these four people to be the first assistant?" Guo Nu asked.

"What can I do, not to mention this kind of thing, I can mix it with a small brocade guard?"

"At that time, I was worried that you would be reckless in your exit, and that would be really a disaster." Guo Nu breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Uncle, I know how to measure, in that kind of situation, even if I have a way, I won't say it." Meng Yan said solemnly.

"So, you really have a way?" There was a hint of unusualness in Guo Nu's eyes.

"Well, it's not nothing, but uncle, don't say it, especially not let the emperor know." Meng Yan Road.

"Why is that?" Guo was puzzled.

"The emperor can't even think of a way, you thought of it, doesn't this mean that we are smarter than the emperor?"

"The emperor is not the kind of person who is jealous of the virtuous and the capable!" Guo said angrily.

"The emperor is not jealous, but some people are jealous, the rumors about me in the palace have not stopped, if you want to say it, you must not recruit me!"

"You kid, you don't want to take the credit for nothing, but if you really have a way, you can let the emperor know, and it is natural for the courtier to share the emperor's worries." Guo laughed and scolded.

"Actually, this method is very simple to say, that is, let the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China vote by secret ballot, and the one with the highest number of votes will be elected as the head of the cabinet!" Meng Yan said, "However, this method can only be used once, and it cannot be leaked, otherwise, this method will be unfair." ”

"How is it unfair?"

"If someone makes a wish to canvass for votes at that time, will the elected cabinet leader still be the result that everyone wants?" Meng Yan smiled.

"Yes, yes. This method can only be used once. Guo said angrily.

"In fact, it's not impossible to use it, as long as you find bribery, you will be disqualified, so naturally no one will dare to engage in this kind of action in private." Meng Yan said, "Of course, this can't be completely eliminated, it can only be said to be relatively fair." ”

"Stone, can you tell me more about this secret ballot method?" Guo Nu asked.

"This is actually very simple, it is to print a batch of ballot papers, on which are written Chen Xun, Cao Nai, Gao Gu and Ma Yu. These ballots are distributed to officials who are eligible to vote. Whoever is chosen to be the first assistant, draw a tick in the back, then fold it up and put it in the ballot box. And then there's the roll-call and the count. Get a chalkboard. Chalk with the names of four people written on it......"

"It's a complicated approach, but it's fair and open. Whoever is elected is whoever is elected, and there is no way to be unconvinced. ”

"The solution is good, but the emperor may not agree!"

"Why can't the emperor agree to such a good way?" Guo Nu asked.

"Uncle Guo, if the first assistant is selected according to this method in the future, then what do you want the emperor to do arbitrarily?" Meng Yan said, "Also, whenever a minister is appointed, when he can't make a decision, he uses this method, so what will happen to the emperor?" ”

Doesn't this mean weakening the power in the hands of the emperor?

Democratic elections are opposed to the emperor's one-man centralization, and once the civilian clique has this kind of weapon, they will use it to fight against the imperial power, which is an invisible sword and blood.

When the emperor is allowed for a while, he may not understand the disadvantages of this method to him, but as long as it takes a long time and is skillfully used, he will understand.

Of course, the trick to crack it is not without yo, just let the emperor have a veto.

However, this would seriously hurt the authority of the imperial power.

Guo was shocked into a cold sweat, this is really true, if this method is good, in the future, the first assistant or other important positions will be elected, and this method will be used, then the emperor's sense of existence will not be weakened.

"Can there be a solution?"

"Yes, but uncle, are you sure you want to tell the emperor about this method?" Meng Yan hesitated.

"Tell me first, I'm thinking about it!"

"Add a clause to the end of this rule, the emperor has a veto power, that is, no matter who is elected, the emperor does not approve, he naturally does not count." Meng Yan Road.

"Naturally, the first assistant of the cabinet must be appointed by the emperor himself." Guo said angrily.

"Then what if the results come out, it's not the person the emperor wants to appoint, won't the emperor just sit on wax?" Meng Yan asked.

"That's right, Stone, you don't want to tell anyone about this method, understand?" Guo Nu solemnly warned.

"Don't worry, I've only told you this method, and no one else has ever mentioned it." Meng Yan nodded.

"That's good, don't mention it to anyone in the future." Guo Nu got up and said, "I'll go first, you can do things with your heart." ”

"I'll send Uncle Guo."

"No need, there are not so many politeness between our sons-in-law." Guo angrily waved his hand and strode away.

"My lord, I heard that there is a lot of controversy in the court today, I'm afraid that the position of the head of the cabinet is not so easy to decide?" Cai Jin slowly walked to Meng Yan's side and said slowly.

"We don't care about the affairs of the court, even if we want to, we can't manage it." Meng Yan said, "By the way, Mr. Cai, how is the file I asked you to sort out?" ”

"It's been sorted out, do you want to see it now?" Cai Jin asked.

"Well, send it to my room." Meng Yan nodded.

"Yes!" Cai Jin left.

"My lord, that's it, a total of thirty-eight people are involved, including twenty-one officials, five businessmen, and two ordinary people." Cai Jin quickly sent in the compiled files.

Meng Yan didn't care who these people were or what they were doing, he just cared about whether these people were imprisoned in the edict, whether they were wronged, and whether they had anything to do with Dongchang.

He wants to save Shi Jing, the wronged brother-in-law, from the edict, but he can't save him alone, otherwise someone should be suspicious.

Therefore, under the guise of attacking the East Factory, some people who were wronged by the East Factory must be rescued, so that it is not very conspicuous and people cannot be suspicious.

Meng Yan looked through it a little, and the case of Shi Jing's injustice was also among these files, and the order was still very high. (To be continued......)
