Chapter 19 Cabinet Stereotypes
Liu Mingzhi looked at the confused and confused reaction of the officials, happily pulled the documents in his hand, and raised his eyes to scan the civil and military officials.
“My dear friends.
As today, everything is back to the same place, and everything is in trouble.
Not only did the documents from various prefectures in Dalong's inner palace fly to the court like snowflakes, but the memorials from the Northern Palace and the Xin Palace are also dense and continuous.
I handled the memorials with both physical and mental exhaustion and difficulty sleeping and eating.
Now, even the appointment of county officials in a small county is required to be personally given a written instruction. It is time for you, the Ministry of Personnel, the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the officials under the jurisdiction of the examination department to reflect on yourself."
Du Chenghao, Minister of Personnel, was stunned for a moment and hurriedly walked out with his scepter.
"The old minister knows his crime, and your Majesty forgives the crime."
"Oh? What are you guilty of Du Shangshu? Tell me yourself!"
Du Chenghao's face froze, and his mouth twitched at Liu Mingzhi's smiling expression: "Uh! Old minister! Old minister! Old minister doesn't know how to be polite to Your Majesty, he deserves to die!"
"Okay, don't tell me these irrelevant words here."
“Yes, yes, the old minister knows his mistake!”
Liu Mingzhi closed his eyes and looked down at the document in his hand.
"I am exhausted both physically and mentally now, but for the sake of the people and the people of the world, I cannot do lazy things because of my own fatigue.
At no point, I can only come up with a way to achieve the best of both worlds.
That is to establish a new government office, cabinet and the Ten Kings Hall.
The ministers should be puzzled, what is the cabinet? What is the Ten Kings Palace?
The cabinet is divided into two main assistants and two secondary assistants. According to the Ming Dynasty, according to the great mountains and rivers, Mingxin and calm spirit, I decided to add five auxiliary assistants.
The first assistant, the second assistant has the right to make decisions on the tender, and the auxiliary assistant has the right to advise and make decisions.
After the memorials submitted by the prefectures in various places of the Prime Minister Pihong, they must be submitted to the Ten Kings Hall for review.
Finally handed over to me for verification.
The memorials of the prefectures and even the new prefectures and the northern prefectures in our dynasty are divided into A, B, B, C, D, and a total of four grades.
Memorials of the fourth grade of A, B, B, D, and the memorials of the Bing, D, have the power to make a decision on the red.
The second assistant has the right to make suggestions and review. If the two second assistants have objections to the first assistant’s decision and memorial at the same time, you can directly skip the Ten Kings Palace and submit it to me to confirm the final result.
In addition to the memorials of Class A, the Palace of Ten Kings has the right to make decisions under the memorials of Class B.
Only Class A memorials need to be submitted to me for final approval.
For memorials in Class B, if half of the people in the Ten Kings’ Hall have objections to the memorials, they will be submitted directly to me for verification.
Memorials of Class A are like droughts, floods, locust plagues, natural disasters, man-made disasters, etc., which are related to the national system.
The cabinet has just been established, I want to
The six ministries and nine ministers, each supervisor and department should provide careful assistance and should not be slackened.
Do you have any objections to your ministers?”
The civil and military officials looked at Liu Mingzhi who silently put together the documents, with a complicated expression and a mixed mind.
The horrifying decisions announced in Liu Mingzhi's documents took too much time to digest.
Especially the left and right prime minister Wei Yong, the left prime minister, and the right prime minister Tong Sansi, the two of them were even more complicated and weird.
Although they did not digest all the cabinet system and the Ten Kings Hall system mentioned by Liu Mingzhi, they both understood the most important point.
That is, Liu Mingzhi is most likely to abolish the official positions of the left and right prime ministers.
The two old opponents who had fought for half their lives looked at each other, obviously a little at a loss.
Liu Mingzhi's eyes were always wandering on Wei Yong and Tong Sansi. Looking at the two of them's entangled expressions, Liu Mingzhi walked over with neither sadness nor joy.
"Left Prime Minister, Wei Prime Minister!"
The two people who looked at each other with complex eyes quickly reacted.
"The old minister is here!"
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and said softly: "Don't be nervous, have you not understood the whole meaning of my establishment of a cabinet? I just thought about the content that I wanted to abolish the position of the right and left prime ministers."
"I am stupid, but I am afraid!"
The smile on the corner of Liu Mingzhi's mouth flashed and he slowly walked towards the two people who nodded and lowered their eyebrows.
"The two beloved ministers, the prime ministers on both sides have the power to review the six ministries and nine ministers, each department, and supervise memorials. However, the chief minister of the cabinet has the power to review the memorials of each ministries and government offices, but the power to make a decision on the redemption for me!
I have established a cabinet, and most of the agreement or not is based on the meaning of the two civil servants."
The two old foxes trembled for a moment, thought for a while, forcing their excitement to look at each other, their minds were full of criticism, and the four big words of decision lingered in their minds.
No matter how you look at the cabinet, the chief minister, has more rights than the prime minister.
Even though there is the Ten Kings Hall on it, compared with the rights of the prime ministers, the rights of the cabinet chief ministers seem to be completely above the two secondary assistants.
Moreover, it is not difficult to guess based on the literal meaning of the Ten Kings Hall, that it must be His Majesty’s princes coming to power.
If a prince is in power, isn’t it exactly the same as the emperor is in power!
After all, the A-level memorials that really concern the world's major affairs will eventually be approved by the emperor.
Even if the memorials of the Ten Kings in Class B can be decided by themselves, but the emperor cannot refuse anyone if he wants to verify them again.
Moreover, Liu Mingzhi quietly told him and the two of them that the cabinet chief minister had criticized the winner and made a decision. It was obvious that he wanted to choose a cabinet chief minister from among them.
The worst thing is that the censor Xia Gongming may come out to get involved, but he still has a 30% chance of winning over the opponent's old opponent.
The most important thing is that since Liu Mingzhi mentioned this matter in front of all the civil and military officials of the court, he had obviously made up his mind.
Resistance is definitely useless. Since this is the case, it is better to maximize your interests!
The two old foxes looked at each other and saw the excitement and hostility in each other's eyes.
The chief minister of the cabinet completely takes over 80% of the position of the court.
The two old foxes thought carefully about Liu Mingzhi's words about the institutional rights of the cabinet just now, and their minds became more and more active.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is the minister, your majesty is the king, and the old minister violates Your Majesty's order and obeys!"
"The old minister attached his opinion, the king is the minister's guide, and Your Majesty has read out the decree. It is obvious that his intention has been decided. The old minister only follows His Majesty's leader and will never refuse to die!"
Wei Yong, Tong Sansi and the two old foxes had just finished speaking, Xia Gongming walked out with his scepter.
"Your Majesty, the old minister dared to advise you to take back the sage order. Although the cabinet system, as Your Majesty said, can quickly and effectively review the memorials submitted by the cabinets of various prefectures.
But the disadvantages are particularly obvious. The old minister dared to say that if the emperor followed him, the subsequent king would be an incompetent king.
By then, the king will be weak and the ministers will be strong, and the country will be the generals.”
Liu Mingzhi looked at the sincere and sincere gaze in Xia Gongming's eyes, and raised his hand in time to interrupt Xia Gongming's next words.
"Old Old Xia!"
Xia Gongming spent all his words and looked at Liu Mingzhi who was chuckling at him in confusion: "Your Majesty?"
"Mr., I have made up my mind to this matter, so I don't need to say much."
"Your Majesty! Think twice!
The old minister once again dared to advise His Majesty that the cabinet system seems to benefit the country and the people, but in fact it may cause endless disasters.”
Liu Mingzhi moved to Xia Gongming step by step, raised his hand and pressed the court tablet that Xia Gongming raised.
“Sir! Sir!”
Looking at Xia Gongming's astonished gaze, Liu Mingzhi smiled and shook his head: "Sir, I hope you believe in me and will never regard important matters related to the rise and fall of the world as a joke!"
Xia Gongming stared at Liu Mingzhi's deep gaze for a while, and nodded hesitantly.
"The old minister obeys the order!"
Liu Mingzhi coughed a few times and woke up all officials who were still measuring the cabinet system and the Ten Kings Hall system.
"Since I have mentioned it today, I will decide to build the cabinet and the Ten Kings Hall. After you have any objections, you will just write a memorial and hand it over.
I have considered the candidates for the chief assistant of the cabinet, two secondary assistants and five major assistants, but I have not determined it myself after three days and three nights.
After all, all my dear friends think I will be partial!
But it won’t work if you don’t choose.
After thinking about it, I can only teach God's will to make a decision.
There is a supporting officer in the cabinet, and I decided to decide between the censor and the three left and right prime ministers.
The five assistants and assistants will select two of the six ministries, one of the nine ministers, and one of the twelve military officers will select one of the twelve marquises.
Temporarily the first official of the cabinet.
Xiao Chengzi!"
"Your Majesty, we are here!"
“Press and ink!”
“Abide by the order!”
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chengzi walked to Liu Mingzhi with the four treasures of the study on the dragon table.
Chapter completed!
