Chapter 730: After Ling Heng, there is no longer a position of first assistant (fifth watch)
Chapter 730
Li Cairen is crazy.
The chickenpox infected by Li Cairen is cured, even if she is forced to move out of the familiar main hall now, she is not afraid, even if she knows that the Li family has been raided, she is not afraid, because she also has a son, and he is still the eldest son of the emperor!
However, the eldest son of the emperor was "gone", and the last will of Li Cairen was also polished, and he was instantly tense.
This is a bad thing for the Li family.
As the news of the "death" of the eldest prince spread, those officials who were worried about the eldest prince's future turn over no longer had any scruples.
Among the officials who took refuge in the eldest prince, many of them did things that were unseemly.
Then he was outraged.
In the Imperial Studyββ
The emperor asked Ling Heng, "Did you secretly instigate it?" β
Seventy percent of the officials who had taken refuge in the Great Prince before had done some unseemly things, or had some unseemly habits.
He didn't believe it, as soon as the news of the eldest prince was gone, someone knew about it, and someone immediately stood up.
"Your Majesty, the minister has some suggestions here, please listen to them."
Ling Heng gave a bunch of his own thoughts, among them, there was another point, which made the emperor can't help but take a second look.
"You said that the post of head of the cabinet should be abolished?"
The Emperor was somewhat suspicious of what his ears heard.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes," Ling Heng nodded.
"The cabinet should be in the emperor's hands, you can let the cabinet make comments or opinions first, and then you will make corrections and seals in a unified manner......"
The emperor in Ling Heng's mouth is more like a general direction decision-maker like a president in later generations.
The more the emperor listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he immediately said, "You write your thoughts into folds and submit them!" β
"Yes."
It seems that the emperor's power is delegated to the cabinet, but in fact, the cabinet has long been hollowed out, and without the approval of the emperor, the cabinet cannot issue a single decree.
The more the emperor thought about it, the better he felt, and urged Ling Heng: "Hurry up and write an excerpt!" I'd like to see it tomorrow! β
***
Three days later β
The Great Pilgrimage β
Something big is wrong.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair, occupied a high position, and announced: "Except for Ling Heng, there is no first assistant, the position of first assistant is only here for Ling Shoufu, if Ling Heng is not the first assistant, I will not set up the first assistant again!" β
"Wow-"
Those who wanted to pull Ling Heng down as the first assistant knelt down and asked the emperor to take back his fate.
The emperor is determined, no matter how they kneel, it is useless, the court will not open for a day as usual because of this matter, and disperse the court in advance.
"Ling Shoufu, did you ask the emperor to cancel the position of Shoufu?!"
Chu You's attendant rushed to Ling Heng's side and asked through gritted teeth.
"Don't you think the position of first assistant is too powerful?"
Ling Heng spoke, as if he was responding to Chu You's squire, and more like saying it to the officials of the Scattered Dynasty.
"What do you mean?!"
"The first assistant can be in charge of the three books and six departments, this ability is unreasonable, the power of the first assistant, but the hands and eyes are all comparable to the emperor, the emperor has long wanted to remove the position of the first assistant," Ling Heng looked at Chu You's servant, and said meaningfully: "Even if I am not the first assistant of the cabinet, no one can be the first assistant anymore." β
"You ......"
Chu You's squire felt that Ling Heng had missed his thoughts, and he wanted to hit him! Let him slump!
"Just like this steward, the head of the family is the only and greatest head, and if you are asked to divide the power, who will?" Ling Heng glanced at the officials who were deliberately walking very slowly and listening to him.
It makes so much sense!
But even so, they still don't give up.
The Queen Mother has been a little annoyed lately.
Because the emperor decided to remove the post of first assistant after Ling Heng, many officials ran to her, wanting her to come forward to persuade the emperor.
The Queen Mother also read the excerpt handed over by Ling Heng, and felt that this arrangement was the best, and Ling Heng's behavior was really for the sake of the country.
Those who persuaded her to persuade the emperor looked more like ill-intentioned!
