Chapter 132. Night talk
Seeing that I was really interested in political affairs, Ah Ran took four or five folds from the side and threw them to me.
"See for yourself."
After speaking, he actually lay on his side on the soft couch, pillowed his arm, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
I roughly skimmed through a few folds, and couldn't help frowning, and subconsciously looked at him.
He happened to raise his eyelids to look at me at this time.
"Well, but what do you see I'm bothering about?"
"Do you want to completely rectify the central bureaucracy? Abolish the Prime Minister's System...... There should be a lot of resistance......"
I know very well that the reason why he did this was because Yan Yufei and the former Taiwei had colluded with each other before, which had caused an unprecedented threat to the imperial power.
Taiwei is the military and political chief of a country, and it can be said that he is the same as the prime minister, and he is an important position above 10,000 people under one person.
Since Yan Yufei's incident, Ah Ran has not appointed a new lieutenant, probably because he wants to take back the military and political power.
But one of the twists and turns I have seen just now is to advise Ah Ran to determine the new candidate for the lieutenant as soon as possible, or to hand over the responsibility of the lieutenant to the prime minister.
In the excerpt, there is even a painstaking effort of the ancestor emperor to create the three-metric system. The rhetoric is like if Ah Ran doesn't do what he says, he is disloyal and unfilial.
"No matter how great the resistance is, there will be no more control left."
Ah Ran sat up, his eyes full of unshakable determination.
Seeing him like this, I seemed to gradually feel the weight of his burden as a king.
"I see that one of these folds has your red on it. Do you want to abolish the Three Princes as mentioned in this excerpt, and make Jiuqing directly obey you? ”
He nodded, but frowned slightly. "What do you think?"
I thought about it for a moment before saying:
"Jiuqing is in charge of various aspects of administrative affairs, and the power he holds is indeed not as great as that of the three princes.
Let them obey you directly, and you will be able to avoid the imperial power being shaken again.
But if it is really abolished, you have to take care of all aspects alone, which is too much work. ”
Ah Ran nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully:
"I've been thinking about how to abolish the Three Princes against public opinion, but I didn't expect this layer you said. If it were you, what would you do? ”
"Hmm......" I thought hard.
Although I was a child under the urging of my father, I was only seven years old. It would be difficult to use what he had learned at the time to make feasible suggestions for Ah Ran.
Instead of drawing on the history I have learned in the 21st century......
Since ancient times, the monarchy and the prime minister have been a pair of contradictory relationships that are difficult to reconcile.
Successive kings have come up with many ways to consolidate their power......
Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration and looked at Ah Ran.
"What if after the abolition of the Three Princes, three new government offices are established?"
Ah Ran narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. "Tell me about it."
"After the abolition of the Three Princes, three ministries can be established: Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province, and each department appoints two governors.
For the sake of the exclusive powers of the defense chief, these three ministries should no longer be divided according to the types of government affairs such as military, government, and supervision, but according to their duties:
Zhongshu drafted an edict according to the emperor's will;
The subordinates are responsible for deliberation, and the results of the deliberation are reported to the emperor, and the final decision is made by the emperor;
After the emperor passed the edict, he handed it over to Shangshu for specific execution.
If the edict drafted by Zhongshu was not approved by his subordinates, it had to be amended or resolved by the emperor.
And if the emperor is dissatisfied with the results of his subordinates' deliberations, he can also order a reconsideration.
The edict that has been put forward after several deliberations and revisions should be very effective. ”
Because of the importance of the matter, I tried to slow down my speech, explain carefully, and observe Ah Ran's expression as I spoke.
His face was initially confused, then surprised, and finally nodded repeatedly.
Seeing him like this, my heart was much more relaxed.
He pondered and said:
In this way, the chief of any of the Zhongshu, Menxia, and Shangshu cannot do things alone, but restrain each other but complement each other. Heh......"
He suddenly smiled brightly, but was skeptical: "You came up with all this yourself?" ”
I laughed dryly, a little weak.
"It doesn't matter who comes up with it, the important thing is that it's easy to use."
"Tell me more about how this should be done."
Seeing that he had asked me for advice for the first time, I could not help but feel a little proud, and replied:
"In terms of execution, there can be six departments under the book, namely: officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers.
That is, the original nine types of government affairs of Jiuqing were merged into six categories. ”
"The six ministries you mentioned are like Nanli's official system."
I shook my head.
"That's different, Nanli still has the prime minister system.
The six departments of Nanli are still under the orders of the prime minister, and there is no essential difference between them and the current system of three princes and nine secretaries in our dynasty. ”
"That's a good point."
"Also, now that the prime minister of the DPRK and China is dominant, the power of the imperial doctor cannot be revealed.
If you really intend to rectify it in this way, you can appoint the current prime minister as the chief of the middle book, and the imperial historian as the chief of the subordinates.
Because the decree drafted by Zhongshu was handed over to the subordinates for deliberation, it was equivalent to the prime minister being slightly shorter than the imperial historian.
Those officials in the DPRK and China who have dared not speak out against the prime minister for many years will certainly support it.
And the Imperial Doctor will be more loyal if he is promoted in disguise, and it will also have an encouraging effect on other courtiers.
If this is the case, and the rectification is supported by the majority of the courtiers in the DPRK and China, you will not have to face huge resistance, and you will be able to rest assured that you will be entrusted with the affairs of the three departments, and you will no longer have to sleep and eat all day long. How do I say that? ”
He looked at me as if he didn't know me, and it only made me feel uncomfortable.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
He smiled.
"It seems that I didn't get you back in vain, and it's still useful."
This guy is obviously very excited, obviously he just wants to praise me, but he still talks like this, it's really hateful!
I snorted. "There's still a lot of use for me!"
I approached him and seriously threw out a flurry of questions:
"After coming to the Northland, is it difficult to carry out the imperial examination?
Aren't the elected officials also very satisfactory?
Are they all old men from the time of their father's emperor, and they didn't want to serve Yue Xiongqi's new master when they were old enough to come to the north together?
Do they rely on their status as veterans to make no constructive suggestions on weekdays, but there are countless opposing opinions?
Also, do you want to weaken the power of the vassal king? ”
He stared at me blankly, like he was stupid, unable to say a word.
I smiled.
"Ah Ran, I said it all, you underestimate me too much.
Do you really think that I have lived in vain for more than 30 years in another world? ”
He looked at me for a long time and then smiled.
The smile did not carry the slightest ridicule, but was a little bitter, with distress, and the eyes gradually deepened.
"Then tell me how to solve those problems."
"I really want to know?"
Finally, it was my turn to raise my eyebrows in front of him, and I naturally wanted to tease him.
"Well, I really want to know."
Looking at his serious and sincere appearance, I couldn't joke anymore, so I brought together the follow-up reform of the imperial examination in another generation and the powerful Tui En Decree of the tyrannical vassal king.
Just when I talk about it, I still think carefully about it word by word, and when it comes to the rise of the future, I think of where to talk about it.
However, Ah Ran really deserves to be Ah Ran. At first I was surprised by something that was ahead of my time, but I was able to accept it quickly, and at the end I heard it, I was even more excited than I was.
I said with a dry mouth, and reached for the tea, only to find that the teapot was empty.
wanted to summon people, but when he turned his head, he found that the sky was white.
"It's dawn!?"
I lost track of time as I spoke.
Ah Ran chuckled. "Now you should know why I forgot to eat when I was discussing politics with the minister, right?"
"But that's not a reason for you to skip meals!"
"Then you might as well bring me food later. As long as you send it, I will put down the most important things first. ”
"You want to be beautiful!"
Although I was hard-mouthed, I thought to myself that if he could eat on time, I would bring him food.
I let out a long yawn.
I didn't feel sleepy when I forgot the time before, but now I feel so sleepy that I can't stand up when I see the white sky, but I suddenly think of Ah Ran again.
"Are you still going to court? You haven't slept all night, and you worked all day yesterday, so why don't you get rid of it this morning? ”
"One day it would be okay for me. But if I don't go, you'll be miserable in the future. ”
He was smiling.
I suddenly had a sense of foreboding. "What do you mean?"
"Did you reveal your identity to Fuxiang when you came last night?"
"No...... Didn't you say you wanted me to hide my identity?
Besides, I dressed as a woman and put on makeup, even if I tell my true identity, I'm afraid no one will believe me. ”
I still don't understand what he means.
He was still smiling. "Then you should be careful of my harem in the future."
"Harem?"
My eyes widened and I couldn't understand how the topic had come to the harem.
Wait a minute! It turns out that he has a harem!
He apparently guessed what I was thinking, and sneered:
"The absence of children is enough for the old men to talk about. If they don't even have a harem, I'm afraid they will fall out of the world. ”
"That'...... So what does this have to do with me? ”
The more I listened, the more confused I became.
He smiled slyly and said: "It is rumored that the absurd emperor who is not close to women and has a male style has finally been doing his job for several months, but he quit the court after summoning an unidentified woman one night. What will the people think when it gets out? ”
I was speechless as he continued:
"In order to spread those rumors before, I haven't touched those women in the harem.
They heard me say that I was not close to women, or that I could bear it. But what would they think if they heard that I left them alone, saw other women in the middle of the night, and left her in the dormitory for the night?
If I don't go to court again, what will they think? ……”
I followed his words, and it didn't take long for my head to buzz.
"You...... Don't talk about it. I pulled him up from the couch.
"You are the king of a country, how can you not go to court? You've been tired for so long, don't miss this moment, hurry up and go to the court! ”
He was amusedly pushed out by me.
"It's late! From the moment you stepped into the temple yesterday, those women in my harem were destined not to let you go. ”
Thinking of the palace fighting drama I watched in another life, I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine.
"Then, then you help me clarify!"
"Clarification? This kind of thing is often the more you try to clarify, the more you can't explain it. ”
He was about to be pushed to the door by me, but he stopped.
"Besides, your identity can't be disclosed for the time being, how can you clarify?
It's better to make mistakes and let everyone misunderstand, and you are safer. ”
The corners of my mouth twitched.
"Safety? Why do I think it's dangerous? ”
Ah Ran raised his eyebrows.
"Then you decide. Do you want me to disclose your identity, and you continue to be the chosen one and be coveted all day long, or do you want to make mistakes and hide them? ”
I grimaced.
I don't want any!
He smiled brightly when he saw me like this.
"That's it! You haven't slept all night, go back and make up for it, and wake up and think about it again. I'll send you back. ”
I let out an "oh" with a sad face.
