0306 Defects in the Tang version of the cabinet (1st update)

This is not the first time Wenyi has written a book, and has previously written books such as epidemic prevention manuals, Chinese civilization, a brief history of China, mathematics, Chinese, and gewu.

He also wrote the Analects of Justice with Xie Daoyun, and also made many comments and even drew frameworks for the commentaries of other classics.

But those books are either reference books, or they are just old wine in new bottles, according to the interpretation of experts in previous lives.

Strictly speaking, he did not write a single book that expounded his ideas in full.

Although he abolished the excesses and miscellaneous taxes and abolished the poll tax, he also restricted the wealth of the rich, restrained the merger of wealth, and engaged in the integration of officials and gentry to pay grain and pay errands.

The academic and political system, the imperial examination, and the medical system have been developed......

But these things are just skins, and they are ways to achieve a certain goal.

And what is he trying to achieve? Why? Why is this method used for this purpose?

None of this is said.

To put it simply, there is a lack of a complete theoretical foundation behind these things.

You may be able to appreciate that this 'tool' is easy to use, but you don't know why it's easy to use, let alone how to 'fix' if something goes wrong.

can only put the responsibility on the traitorous ministers, thinking that the bad governance of the world is that the monarch is not clear and the ministers are not clear, and then keep the law of the ancestors in the same place.

There were still many people in the Tang Kingdom who were skeptical of these policies, but they did not dare to oppose them because of Wen Yi's strength.

And using these methods really made Tang Guo stronger, and they didn't say anything anymore.

Strictly speaking, most people are still confused.

In the entire Tang Kingdom, except for Gan Xian, who can understand some of his thoughts a little, in fact, the others are still old ideas.

This is also the reason why he asked Ma Yibai what he did after becoming emperor, but Ma Yibai couldn't answer.

Ask someone else this question and the answer won't make any essential difference.

Over the years, in addition to improving the judicial system, Gan Xian has basically spent all his remaining time on understanding his ideas, trying to find out the connection.

It's just a pity that he has never been able to grasp the core due to the times.

Wen Yi knew very well what the problem was, the Tang Kingdom had just been established before, and he didn't have the time to do this.

We can only get the new deal out and implement it first, and then go back and sort out the theoretical system when the country is stable.

Another reason is that the complete set of theoretical systems is not so easy to write.

The difficulty in expressing an opinion on a certain issue is that everyone can say that it is the Tao, but the difficulty lies in connecting them together to form a system, even if he has knowledge of his previous life.

It is also necessary to consider the problems of the times, writing too far ahead of others to understand, and may even cause greater confusion, and it is meaningless to write superficially.

It is even more difficult not only to express one's own thoughts, but also to make people of this era accept and understand.

Over the years, he has been thinking about how to write this book, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that his knowledge is shallow.

Therefore, I have been studying the classics of the sages and experiencing their thoughts in private.

This is also the reason why he dared to write the Analects of Justice, and dared to draw a framework for commentaries on other classics, which he really studied.

Sometimes he himself is surprised, if he had the energy to study in his previous life, not to mention doctoral students, 985211 graduate students should be fine.

After all these years of research, he has indeed made great progress, and even if he resurrects the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, he can go up and debate a few times.

The most important thing is that he finally found the 'line', the 'line' that connects all the ideas and opinions.

So he decided to start writing his first book in the true sense of the word, to show his ideas to everyone in full, and to cultivate the talents he needed.

However, he didn't say anything, he usually did what he should do, and just took his spare time out to write books.

Slowly, he began to delegate more power to the cabinet and reduce the time he spent in appearances.

On the one hand, I want to spend more time writing books, and on the other hand, I want to see how the cabinet I have built is.

As mentioned earlier, the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty was one of the best systems in the era of imperial power - the constitutional monarchy could not be regarded as the era of imperial power strictly speaking.

The emperor did not go to the court for decades and did not listen to the government, the court still operated, and he did not cultivate enough powerful ministers to change the dynasty.

When the emperor wants to govern himself, he will soon be able to take back his power.

When the emperors of other dynasties saw this situation, their eyes were probably red.

But Wen Yi didn't know how the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty worked, he could only follow the cat's picture, and he didn't know how far he could go.

Just take this opportunity to test it out.

Of course, the military power is always in his own hands, and he does not dare to let go of this thing.

At first, the ministers performed very well, but it didn't take long for various problems to appear, mainly from the cooperation of various departments.

The reasons for this are not complex, and the division of competencies is not clear enough.

After a period of observation, Wen Yi made a decisive move and further subdivided the functions and powers of each department.

With this change, the operation really became smoother.

For the ministers, at first they were still wondering, why did their own king suddenly become indifferent?

But they are secretly happy in their hearts, and who would not love a monarch who has delegated power?

When there was a problem with the operation of the imperial court and they were busy, Wen Yi took decisive action to solve the problem.

Only then did they realize that the king was not indifferent, but deliberately did this to find the problem.

Suddenly, the mountains looked up, and the king was the king, high.

After that, I honestly did my part, and I didn't dare to take chances anymore.

Speaking of Wen Yi, he also found that there was a huge flaw in the cabinet he created, and a key link was missing.

The celebrant approved the red.

The cabinet has decision-making power and executive power, but the power to approve is in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can hand over this power to the celebrant if he wants to be lazy.

The celebrant is a eunuch institution, and he is inherently incompatible with Wenchen, so there is no need to worry that they will be in the same stream.

And the power of the eunuch comes entirely from the emperor, and no matter how powerful the eunuch emperor is, he can't just say a word if he wants to clean him up.

No matter how powerful the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were, they could not reach the point of abolishing the Son of Heaven, they could only convince the emperor.

The powerful 9,000-year-old was hanged by a holy decree from Chongzhen, who had just ascended the throne, and the rest of the party was liquidated.

The cabinet and the celebrant are in charge of decision-making and the other in terms of approval, and the checks and balances between the two are indispensable.

This formed the peculiar and easy-to-use court system of the Ming Dynasty.

Wen Yi did not use eunuchs or celebrants, no matter how he delegated power, the final approval of red power could only be in his own hands.

As for the formation of celebrants, non-eunuchs were appointed to this position...... That is to look for death.

Therefore, the monarch of the Tang State wanted to learn from the Ming Dynasty that the emperor would not go to court for decades, and it would not lead to national chaos, which was completely a dream.

After discovering this problem, Wen Yi could only shake his head helplessly, the world is really perfect.
