『Chapter error, click here to report』

"Actually, where is Weichen's good plan? If you want to talk about a clumsy method, I really think of one. If the emperor wants to know all the big and small things in the court, it is better to let the officials make secret folds. ”

Gu Chengyu smiled slightly, there is great power in the world, only one person can handle it, and it cannot be left behind, this is the wish of all emperors.

The use of secret folds can enable officials, especially colleagues, to tell each other, so that the emperor can sit back and relax even if he does not approve the recitals submitted by the cabinet every day. Supervise each other, who would dare to do such a non-subordinate thing behind the emperor's back?

The ministers spoke bluntly and opened their mouths, and those who did not dare to write on the folds on weekdays also dared to think directly to the emperor.

When the emperor heard this, his interest became more and more intense: "Oh? Gu Aiqing said quickly and carefully, I would like to hear the details. ”

"The emperor might as well choose a few close officials above the court, and let them use the secret fold if they have important matters. The secret fold does not need to go to the traffic secretary, it is directly presented to the emperor, and the content of the fold is unknown to no one except the emperor and the officials. ”

The twists and turns of the Dayan Dynasty were all handed over by officials to the General Administration Department and then to the Cabinet. The cabinet will vote first and then present it to the emperor. There are a lot of drawbacks here, and it took two hands to get to the emperor.

If something goes wrong in the middle, if the performance is not presented to the emperor, the official who plays the performance can only suffer such a dumb loss. Besides, what kind of confidential content can be written on the fold that has passed through the hands of many officials?

Now that the cabinet is powerful, even if someone wants to impeach, they don't dare to write it in the memorabilia. Those who played in the early dynasties were also very courageous. But that is limited to the officials of the previous dynasty, and the low-ranking officials do not have that power, they can't even see the emperor's face!

And those local officials, if they follow the normal process, the content of the compromise is also screened by the cabinet.

"Not bad! Don't stop, go on. When the emperor heard this, he thought this method was very wonderful. But who should you choose for this person who is close to you? And how did he know that those people would not deceive him? If there are only a few, it will definitely not work, it seems that there are more people.

The emperor listened to Gu Chengyu's analysis, and he also had a plan in his heart.

"The general is only one of the benefits, the second is that the emperor will give priority to the secret fold, and you will be able to know the situation as soon as possible. Third, there is a secrecy system for secret folds, and officials dare not write some things on the folds, but they can narrate them in the folds. ”

There is another thing that Gu Chengyu didn't say, that is, to better consolidate the imperial power. In order to gain the emperor's trust, those ministers must want to behave well, so there are many things to say in the secret compromise.

When the emperor heard this, he was very satisfied, and couldn't help but smile, and laughed: "Haha! Gu Aiqing really did it, and this fact is a good strategy. ”

Zhang Hai and Min Feng, who were kneeling outside the study, saw Xiao Quanzi guarding outside the imperial study just now, but they heard the emperor's happy laughter at this time. There are only two people in the imperial study, Gu Chengyu and the emperor, could it be that Gu Chengyu said something that made the emperor happy?

The two of them had mixed tastes in their hearts, it seemed that Gu Chengyu's holy family was strong, and they still ran up to argue with Gu Chengyu, wouldn't that be asking for their own hardship?

Gu Chengyu was very happy to see the emperor, but he still had a few words to say.

If the emperor is young and strong, and his body is healthy, then this method must be wonderful. Although the emperor's workload is larger than the original, the officials below dare not deceive, and the emperor is naturally willing.

But the emperor is now in decline, and the effect of this method is not great. Of course, there will still be results, and it is impossible that there will be no benefits at all.

Good birds choose trees to perch, and those officials are all forming gangs, not because the emperor is old, and it will not be many years before a prince will succeed to the throne.

Of course, those courtiers only wanted to stand in line quickly, hoping to be reused by the new emperor in the future, and their loyalty to the current emperor was not so high.

In addition, now that the cabinet is powerful, the officials led by Xia Qing will definitely not buy the emperor's account.

Because if the secret folding system is implemented, then the cabinet's voting power will be useless, and the cabinet officials will have no real power, so how can they give up?

Therefore, the secret folding system only applies to the emperor's henchmen. The relationship between the DPRK and China is complicated, how many henchmen can the emperor have? Besides, those henchmen also have a lot of thoughts. Therefore, the benefits of dense folding are not great, but the benefits are still a little.

However, for such a reason, it is impossible for Gu Chengyu to tell the emperor, in the final analysis, he is also selfish. If the cabinet loses real power, it will also be detrimental to him. He entered Hanlin in order to prepare for entering the cabinet in the future, and if the voting power loses its effect, the cabinet becomes a fictitious position, and it is meaningless for him to enter the cabinet.

Besides, if Xia Qing loses his power, then the emperor will not need to support officials to oppose Xia Qing, and he will lose a great opportunity.

Gu Chengyu admits that his desire for power is not small, but since he has entered the court, who doesn't want to be a high-ranking official?

Therefore, he proposed this matter, not only to reap benefits for himself, but also to prevent the cabinet from losing its authority, and he will also need real power to join the cabinet in the future.

"However, if the emperor wants to implement it, there will be a lot of obstacles." Gu Chengyu thought about it seriously, thinking about how to list the disadvantages of this matter with the emperor.

The emperor was very happy just now, but after Gu Chengyu said this, he also calmed down. The emperor is not stupid, just think about it, and he thinks of the difficulties.

He only trusted Shen Shikang a little more in the six books, and when he was restraining Xia Qing before, Shen Shikang contributed a lot. But Shen Shikang is also the uncle of the second child, and he must be towards the second child, the princes are all older, and there are many officials in the court who support the prince's faction.

The emperor screened the officials of the court again, and felt that none of them could be trusted. Gu Chengyu is accustomed to observing words and feelings, and when he saw that the emperor was frowning and thinking, he knew that the emperor was now facing a situation where no one was available.

It can be said that the vast majority of officials large and small in the DPRK and China have stood in line, and those who do not stand in line are incompetent, and those factions really don't look down on them. It's not that there are no pure ministers, but after all, there are few! The emperor is suspicious again, and he can't think that people are from other factions!

"Your Majesty, the drawbacks of tantric practice are not without it. If there are too many officials in the tantric recital, and the content of the tantric recital is unknown to each other, it is afraid that some officials will be framed but have nowhere to defend themselves. And I'm afraid that the official who played the secret music thinks that you have a close relationship with him, and uses this to blackmail other officials, all of which need to be carefully screened by the emperor. ”

Gu Chengyu paused and continued: "Or if there is suspicion and distrust between colleagues, this is also not conducive to the implementation of the government. ”

The powerful relationship between this, Gu Chengyu naturally pointed out. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the future, the emperor will blame him, and he won't be able to eat and walk around.
