Chapter 256: plan to set up a cabinet

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon chair and rubbed his eyebrows.

During this period of time, in addition to the investigation of the wealthy and wealthy families who robbed the land of the common people, the recovery of private soldiers of the aristocratic families, and the establishment of royal academies, Da Zhou also ushered in the spring ploughing, and there were more and more government affairs.

"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to set up a cabinet agency to help me handle some government affairs..."

Zhou Chen thought secretly in his heart.

Zhou Chen had already had this idea before.

However, it has not been put into action.

First, it feels that the time is not ripe, and the resistance will be great.

The second is the lack of outstanding people.

But now, with Da Zhou slaughtering the alien races in all directions, Zhou Chen, the emperor's power has risen, and he can hold down the civil and military officials.

To set up a cabinet, the resistance has been almost negligible.

As for Renjie, there are Fang Miao Du Duan and Xiao He, isn't this the best candidate for the cabinet?

Therefore, the establishment of a cabinet can basically be put on the agenda.

...

Zhou Chen got up and walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The breeze blew across his face, making Zhou Chen's mood a lot more comfortable.

Crawling through the many memorials every day, even the emperor, there are times when he is upset and tired.

"How long has it been since I last went to Cining Palace?"

Zhou Chen put his hands on his back, looked at the scenery in the palace, and asked casually.

Zhou Chen's voice just fell, and the factory guard who was serving behind Zhou Chen didn't even think about it, and replied directly; "Reporting to Your Majesty, it's been almost a month..."

For the factory guards serving the emperor, the emperor's affairs must be remembered more clearly than their own affairs.

If there is a day when the factory guards who are serving the emperor can't remember the emperor's affairs, then it is time for these factory guards who are serving the emperor to be replaced...

In the entire East Factory, among the thousands of factory guards, who would not want to serve the emperor and become the emperor's side?

Is it almost a month?

Zhou Chen looked at the scenery in the palace, his eyes flashed.

"Let's drive to Cining Palace."

Zhou Chen retracted his gaze and said.

It is Zhou Chen's habit to visit the Empress Dowager at Cining Palace every month.

Even if Zhou Chen already knew that he was not the queen mother, he was still the same, and he never changed this habit.

From Zhou Chen's point of view, it doesn't matter whether he and the queen mother come from blood or not.

The important thing is that he was raised by the Queen Mother, and in the entire palace, only the Queen Mother really considered him the emperor.

As for the others, they either feared the imperial power and feared him as the emperor, or they wanted to use the imperial power to climb up.

This is the emperor.

The emperor has no friends.

There is no so-called confidant.

Under the imperial power, they are all ants.

Above the imperial power, it is endless loneliness.

After the news of the emperor's placement in the Cining Palace reached the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was ready to welcome the emperor.

It stands to reason that there is no need to deliberately prepare for the identity of the Empress.

But since the incident with the king of Shu, the queen mother learned that Zhou Chen had already known the news from the queen mother, and the queen mother was much more polite to the emperor Zhou Chen than before.

It didn't take a while.

Zhou Chen came to the Cining Palace.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

After Zhou Chen walked into the Cining Palace, all the maids and eunuchs in the Cining Palace knelt down and gave a salute.

"Mother."

Zhou Chen walked to the Queen Mother's side and bowed slightly.

As the emperor, Zhou Chen is the honor of ninety-five.

But even so, in front of the Queen Mother, Zhou Chen is only a child minister.

There should still be etiquette.

"Your Majesty is down, sit down."

The queen mother asked Zhou Chen to sit down.

The two chatted casually.

"Empress mother, are you healthy these days? There have been a lot of things going on in the court recently, so I came to see the queen mother, and I hope the queen mother doesn't blame her."

Zhou Chen looked at the queen mother and said.

"Aijia's health is fine. Your Majesty doesn't have to miss Aijia all the time. State affairs are the most important thing."

"Now that Da Zhou has the momentum of ZTE, His Majesty can't slack off. He must be diligent in government and love the people..."

The queen mother rambled.

In the harem, only the emperor Zhou Chen could make the queen mother say a few more words like this.

Zhou Chen nodded and said; "What the mother said is, I remember it."

Zhou Chen didn't have a trace of impatience for the Queen Mother's ramble.

"Your Majesty, the Aijia heard that your Majesty ordered to take back the private soldiers of the wealthy family?"

Zhou Chen nodded noncommittally; "Yes, Queen Mother."

"Now that the four alien races outside the customs have been wiped out, and Da Zhou is at peace in the world, there is no need for aristocratic families to keep private soldiers."

"So, I ordered to take back the private soldiers of the wealthy family."

Zhou Chen said.

It was strange in my heart why the queen mother asked about the private soldiers.

Hearing the words, the queen mother nodded; "Your Majesty has done a good job. Today's aristocratic families have too many constraints on Da Zhou."

"However, the four major clans, your Majesty should pay more attention."

"The four great gates are different from other aristocratic families."

"These four gates are not as simple as they seem on the surface, and the world is not as simple as it seems."

The queen mother said if she had something to say.

It seems to be reminding Zhou Chen of something.

Zhou Chen heard the words, a light flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, mother, I will pay attention."

Zhou Chen nodded and said, without further questioning.

Zhou Chen wanted to ask the Queen Mother what was the difference between the four great gates.

But Zhou Chen knew that if the queen mother wanted to tell him, it would not be such a reminder.

Zhou Chen chatted with the Queen Mother for a while, and then left the Cining Palace.

...

After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhou Chen sat on the throne of the dragon chair, thinking about the sentence that the Queen Mother said before, "The four gates are not as simple as they seem on the surface".

Zhou Chen learned a lot about the situation of the four gates from the East Factory.

Except for the ancestor who has half a step in heaven, Zhou Chen really didn't see any difference between the four great sects and other aristocratic families.

at this time.

An internal factory guard walked into the report; "Your Majesty, Mr. Fang is asking for a meeting outside the hall."

"Xuanfang Xuanling come in."

Zhou Chen put away his thoughts and said to the inner guard.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The inner servant factory guard bowed and retreated.

moment.

Fang Xuanling walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"My minister Fang Xuanling, I have seen His Majesty."

After Fang Xuanling walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she respectfully saluted Zhou Chen on the dragon chair.

"Free gift!"

Zhou Chen waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fang Xuanling stood up.

Zhou Chen put his right hand on the armrest of the dragon chair, looked at Fang Xuanling, and asked, "What's the matter with Aiqing coming to the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this minister came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation because of the reform of the imperial examinations."

"This is a matter discussed by the minister and several ministers about the reform of the imperial examination, and the Ministry of Personnel has also made some revisions and improvements to the system of evaluation and promotion of officials."

[In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present, Mimi Read, install the latest version. 】

"Please, Your Majesty, take a look."

Fang Xuanling took out a memorial from his sleeve and held it in his hand.

Seeing this, the internal servant factory guard immediately took the memorial from Fang Xuanling's hand and presented it to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen opened it and looked at it.

The imperial examination was to select talents for the country.

If the imperial examination system is not perfect, in addition to missing some truly talented people who have nowhere to show, there may also be some mediocre wine bags and rice bags selected.

In this way, these people enter the officialdom, and it is not only the imperial court that affects the scourge, but the whole world.

Therefore, the reform of the imperial examination system is very important.

Zhou Chen also looked very carefully.

After Zhou Chen read the contents of the memorial, he raised his eyes and looked at Fang Xuanling; "Xuanling, the imperial examination is to select talents for the country. In the future, he will enter the officialdom and govern a place."

"So, the imperial examination is not only about poetry and literature, but also about conduct and practical ability."

"If a person is full of economics, but he is an official, he will only talk empty-handed and not understand the truth."

"Even if such a person passes the scientific examination, he will not be able to govern the land well."

Zhou Chen looked at Fang Xuanling and said.

Zhou Chen was quite satisfied with the memorial that Fang Xuanling presented to the reform of the imperial examination.

But Zhou Chen felt that it was not perfect.

The meaning of the imperial examination lies in a test word.

The test is not only for talent, but also for character and ability.

And not because of talent, ignore other aspects.

Fang Xuanling heard Zhou Chen's words, her eyes flashed, and she bowed, "I understand."

"As long as you know."

Zhou Chen nodded.

"The system of matters concerning the reform of the imperial examinations is formulated according to your negotiation."

"However, add what I said and promulgate it!"

Zhou Chen returned the memorial in his hand to Fang Xuanling.

The tax system of the Ministry of Households has been reformed, so the imperial examinations of the Ministry of Personnel and the evaluation system of officials have to keep up with the rhythm and make improvements.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fang Xuanling bowed.

After Zhou Chen returned the memorial in his hand to Fang Xuanling, he looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Xuanling, I plan to set up a cabinet to handle some government affairs for me, what do you think?"

cabinet?

Fang Xuanling frowned, she didn't understand what a cabinet was?

"The cabinet is above the six ministries, and everything in the court must be voted on by the cabinet. The cabinet mainly handles some government affairs for me, and then submits the important things to me..."

Zhou Chen repeated the cabinet's ideas.

After Fang Xuanling heard this, her brows furrowed even tighter; "Your Majesty, to set up a cabinet and share government affairs for Your Majesty, this minister understands."

"But everything in the court has to be voted on by the cabinet. Isn't this too much right?"

Fang Xuanling reminded.

As Fang Yuan, after Zhou Chen talked about the cabinet's ideas, Fang Xuanling understood the role and significance of the cabinet.

The establishment of the cabinet can indeed share the emperor's worries and centralize power.

But in this way, the power of the cabinet is very heavy, and it can almost control the entire court.

If there is any problem with the people who enter the cabinet, with such great power, there will be big problems.

Zhou Chen naturally understood what Fang Xuanling meant.

Without the system, Zhou Chen would indeed have the same concerns as Fang Xuanling.

People's minds are complicated and their minds change, and no one can guarantee that someone will not get lost in the desire for power.

Too much authority is indeed not a good thing.

But Zhou Chen has a system, Zhou Chen sets up a cabinet, and everyone who joins the cabinet will be signed in by the system.

Faithfulness is guaranteed.

There is no harm in having greater authority.

Besides, Zhou Chen didn't want to give all the power to the cabinet, at least the military power, Zhou Chen won't give it to the cabinet.

As long as the military power is in hand, there is no big problem.

Didn't Grandpa Mao have a saying that power comes from the barrel of a gun?

Zhou Chen looked at Fang Xuanling and smiled; "I understand what Xuanling means."

"But the point of setting up a cabinet is to let the cabinet handle government affairs for me."

"If the cabinet has less power, why would I set up a cabinet?"

"However, it is not that simple to enter the cabinet."

"Members of the cabinet, I will choose from among you."

Zhou Chen knew that such outstanding people as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were prime ministers with ditches in their chests, and they were somewhat subdued when they took up the position of the six ministers.

The establishment of the cabinet can just give Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui a platform to display.

Of course, there is no problem with the loyalty of these people who are signed in by the system.

However, the abilities are different.

Although they are all outstanding people, their abilities are also divided into several levels.

Not everyone who signed in is eligible to join the cabinet.

At present, among the outstanding people who signed up, Zhou Chen felt that only Xiao He, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were the three who could enter the cabinet.

As for Jia Xu and Xun Yu, it wasn't that Zhou Chen felt that their abilities were insufficient.

But Zhou Chen felt that their preferences were different, Jia Xu and Xun Yu were more inclined to military planning and planning.

In dealing with government affairs, Jia Xu and Xun Yu seem to be weaker than Xiao He and the three of them.

"Since Your Majesty has already made up his mind, then this minister has no opinion."

"The establishment of a cabinet, for now, is beneficial to His Majesty and the court."

"It can centralize the power of the cabinet~www.wuxiahere.com~ to deal with the affairs of the court more efficiently and quickly."

Fang Xuanling bowed and said.

Since Zhou Chen, the emperor, thought of everything, Fang Xuanling didn't say anything more.

The establishment of the cabinet can indeed improve the speed of handling matters of the imperial court.

After all, before, the emperor Zhou Chen handled it alone.

After the cabinet was established, it was the members of the cabinet who handled it for the emperor Zhou Chen. Naturally, the speed and efficiency were incomparable.

What's more, if you really want to be really talented and learn, Zhou Chen, the emperor, can't compare to Xiao He and the others.

After hearing what Fang Xuanling meant, Zhou Chen didn't say anything.

"Xuanling, you go first!"

Zhou Chen waved at Fang Xuanling.

"My minister retire."

Fang Xuanling bowed and exited the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After Fang Xuanling left, Zhou Chen pondered for a while.

"Come on."

"It is said that Xiao He entered the palace."

Zhou Chen said to the inner guard of the factory.

Setting up a cabinet is not as simple as saying it.

Many things have to be negotiated.

Zhou Chen wanted to call Xiao He into the palace to hear what Xiao He meant.

After all, Xiao He is the prime minister of the left, an important minister leading the civil and military officials.

After the factory guard left, Xiao He entered the palace within half an hour.

Hearing that Zhou Chen was going to set up a cabinet, Xiao He's expression was the same as Fang Xuanling's expression just now, both puzzled and surprised.

Once the cabinet is established, it is somewhat in conflict with the prime minister's powers.

Could it be that His Majesty wants to abolish the Prime Minister and change the cabinet?

Xiao He secretly guessed in his heart, listening to Zhou Chen narrating the idea of ​​setting up a cabinet. Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
