Chapter 200: The shameless Cheng Yaojin!
Chapter 200: The shameless Cheng Yaojin!
Ye Yu's words made Li Shimin take a deep breath.
After this operation, the status of this cabinet minister seems to be very high, but in fact, the rights of each department of the three provinces and six ministries are fundamentally reduced!
You know, among the nine seats, six ministers occupy six positions.
In addition to the six Shangshu, if nothing else, there will be other ministers of civil and military occupation.
In the previous three-province, six-ministerial system, everyone managed their own affairs, and the departments reported matters that belonged to the management category of the department, and the department handled it by itself.
For example, if a large-scale criminal case is presented, it will be sent directly to the Ministry of Punishment, and if it is related to war, it will be a matter of the Ministry of War.
But not now, the six ministers will enter the cabinet, and all government affairs will enter the cabinet, and the nine officials in the cabinet will try it together.
After any cabinet minister has finished reviewing the memorial in his hand, he needs to review the other eight cabinet ministers again. Only when all nine cabinet officials agree on the duty week can this national policy be issued.
In addition to the six ministers and the other three ministers, it is impossible that all of them are good friends who wear a pair of trousers. There must be differences among the nine people. In this way, it is equivalent to sharing the rights in each person's hands and distributing private rights. When it becomes a public right, the real majority is in the hands of Li Shimin alone. This system has simply left dozens of streets behind the three provinces and six ministries!
Li Shimin said excitedly: "Okay, it's really great!"
"Sir's method is really great, if this method is used, who would dare to hide their selfishness among the high-ranking officials in the DPRK, how wonderful!
Chongzhen said with a smile: "The cabinet system that Mr. said is almost the same as that of my Ming Dynasty, it really helps the emperor's centralization of power, and it can reduce the power of the officials of the six ministries.
"As long as the nine ministers in the cabinet are not all the same raccoon dog colluding, the emperor's control over the following will be even greater."
Fusu frowned and asked, "Sir, we understand the cabinet system. Datang does not have hundreds of prefectures and counties, even if not every prefecture and county has a memorial to enter Chang'an, but according to the minimum estimate, the number of memorials per day is estimated. There are no less than a few hundred copies. If all these memorials have to be approved by cabinet ministers, it will definitely consume a lot of time!
Ying Zheng also nodded. He also understood the system of the cabinet. It was indeed a good method.
Although this cabinet has great power, such a large workload is not something that ordinary people can withstand.
"Of course I have a way!" Ye (cgag) Yu smiled confidently: "Of course the cabinet will not have nine cabinet minister positions, and there will also be auxiliary ministers.
"According to my settings, these assistant ministers should be rotated regularly, and the number of assistant ministers in each phase is kept at about twenty-four, and the term of office is tentatively set for two years.
"At the end of the two years, the cabinet ministers will automatically withdraw from the cabinet, and the new twenty-four assistant ministers will enter the cabinet to assist the nine ministers of the cabinet to handle government affairs."
"So that's how it is! 35 Chongzhen was the first to react after hearing this, with a look of excitement on his face.
Daming also used the cabinet system, but there were not so many cabinet ministers, and all the rights were in the hands of those six or seven people, so in the later period, Wei Zaode and other cabinet chiefs and assistants stood on his head and shit.
But if it were reformed according to what Ye Yu said, it would be perfect.
The power in the hands of Jiuqing has been dispersed again and again, and what they have to do is to win the memorial that these cabinet ministers have reviewed
And ministers who can be elected as cabinet ministers naturally have certain abilities, so basically there is not much problem.
They only need to look at the processing results to make a judgment.
And if you encounter something that you can't solve, you will give a review. If you can pass all the nine ministers of the cabinet, you can execute it directly.
And if there is one person who does not pass, it will be discussed by the court the next day, and finally the emperor will decide.
It can be said that this elevates the power of the emperor to a peak!
Li Shimin thought for a while, and finally figured out the beauty of this cabinet system. Can not help but excited.
"Hahaha, sir, this method is good, a two-year cabinet term can minimize these officials' sectarianism.
"Nine cabinet ministers, twenty-four cabinet ministers, no matter how powerful these five surnames and seven Wang are in my Tang Dynasty, I don't believe that all of them are their dogs and horses!""
"Thirty-three ministers, as long as any one of them is loyal to me, then this world will still be decided by me, okay hahahaha, okay!
Li Shimin laughed excitedly, with a cheerful smile on his face.
Once, he also thought about the problem of five surnames and seven Wangs, but he couldn't think of a suitable solution.
The Five Surnames and Seven Hopes have been deeply rooted in the Central Plains for too long, and they cannot be eradicated overnight.
He originally wanted to slowly deal with them by boiling frogs in warm water, but now, the cabinet system proposed by Ye Yu is better!
When he has completely mastered the court, it will not be easy to deal with the five surnames and seven hopes?
Li Shimin bowed his hands to Ye Yu excitedly and said, "Thank you for your advice, sir. After I go back, I will immediately start to select ministers and implement this cabinet system. However, I still have some doubts about the candidates for the cabinet's chief assistant. Can you recommend someone?"
Cheng Yajin's ears moved and immediately looked up.
The chief assistant of the cabinet, if he sits in this position, then he is really under one person and above ten thousand people. He also wants to sit in this position!
Ye Yu thought for a while and said: "The candidate for the cabinet's first assistant must first be outstanding in ability, then he must be upright and have the courage to never bow to any evil forces, and finally, he must be born ordinary and cannot be with the five surnames. Qiwang is too deeply entangled."
Cheng Yaojin was instantly happy when he heard it, isn't this just talking about my old Cheng!
He immediately bowed to Ye Yu, and said excitedly: "Thank you for your recommendation, Lao Cheng, if I become a cabinet minister, I will definitely help His Majesty stabilize the imperial government, reshape my Tang Dynasty, and kill all those people with five surnames and seven Wangs! "5
"Ah?" Ye Yu was stunned when he heard the sound, and looked at Cheng Yaojin in confusion for a long time. I recommended Cheng Yaojin, why didn't I know?
Li Shimin is also full of confusion. Did the immortal master recommend Cheng Yaojin? Why does it seem a bit wrong.
Seeing that Li Shimin didn't respond for a long time, Cheng Yaojin patted his chest in dissatisfaction and said, "Your Majesty, don't you understand, the person Mr. said is my old Cheng! 66
"Sir has outstanding ability, my old Cheng can be selected by him to enter the Immortal Realm, that ability must be the outstanding ability of my Tang Dynasty!
"Then it's upright. It's not my old Cheng bragging. There are no people like my old Cheng Yong in the entire Tang Dynasty. As long as your majesty opens your mouth, even the old Jade Emperor and my old Cheng will help you get off the horse."
"There is also a rehabilitated birth, my old Cheng was born in the rough, is there anyone in the Datang officials who is more rehabilitated than me!
The more Cheng Yaojin talked, the more excited he became. He only felt that he was a first-class strange man in the Tang Dynasty, a great hero, and the fat on his chest was slapped by him.
"Your Majesty, it's obviously me who you are talking about!"
