736 Constraining the Imperial Power

"Sima Yi is disqualified from the competition!" Gao Fei finally made up his mind and said loudly after careful consideration.

As soon as this decision was announced, Guan Ning, Lu Zhi, Zhong Yao, and Gai Xun were all shocked. The four of them asked in unison: "Your Majesty, Sima Yi is extremely intelligent and has analyzed the current situation very well. He has a good understanding of the world."

The two characters also have unique insights. Such talents are indispensable to China. I sincerely ask the emperor to take back his orders."

Since Sima Yi clearly explained the word "Your Majesty", the word "Your Majesty" has been passed down from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Others no longer shout "Your Majesty", but directly call the Emperor. Of course, some also call him "Long Live Lord". Jiang Qian's influence is not small.

Gao Fei saw that Guan Ning, Lu Zhi, Zhong Yao, and Gai Xun had jointly sponsored Sima Yi. He also knew that this was unfair. Even if he failed to win the top prize, he would not be disqualified from the competition. However, he had his own ideas.

, Sima Yi was historically described as a wolf with ambition and an eagle with a wolf's gaze. After all, the Three Kingdoms all belonged to the Sima family in the end. The country that Cao Cao worked so hard to conquer was turned around and used as a wedding dress for others.

However, he is also committed to improving Sima Yi. This is Sima Yi's growth period. What kind of growth environment is given to Sima Yi will affect his entire life in the future. Therefore, he made this decision and prepared to use extreme measures to improve Sima Yi.

He treated Sima Yi in a strict manner, and only when he thought that Sima Yi was capable enough to take over the entire empire and was loyal to him, did he dare to let it go.

"If you say something out loud, it's like spilled water. It's hard to recover. What's more, I'm the emperor, and I promise a thousand pieces of gold. If I change my order overnight, what will happen to me? That's it. It's settled." Gao Fei said resolutely.

"But the emperor..."

"There is nothing to be proud of. I immediately drew up the imperial list and announced that Jiang Qian was the number one, Du Ji was the second, and Su was the third. These three people are the top three selected by the undergraduate civil servants. Except for Sima Yi, they are among the top ten.

Give them all to the disciples of the Emperor." Gao Fei said loudly.

Guan Ning felt very sorry for Sima Yi. After all, he taught this student and he was full of confidence in Sima Yi. But in the end, Sima Yi was kicked out of the top ten without even an excuse. This made him very sad.

.

He sighed first, and then saluted Gao Fei respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am a scholar from a poor family. I was fortunate enough to be favored by the Emperor and teach at the Juxian Hall. However, I can't get rid of the scholarly spirit and I have no regard for political figures.

I have made great achievements. I have been thinking a lot about myself for a long time. I feel that I should resign as prime minister..."

Guan Ning's decision was unexpected, and everyone looked at him.

"Just for Sima Yi?" Gao Fei asked with a frown.

"Sima Yi is a disciple of Juxian Hall. Since he entered school, he has been smart and eager to learn, and he has a photographic memory, so he learns quickly and is more intelligent than others. Therefore, the ministers and Bing Yuan recommended him.

Participate in this selection. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Gan Luo was the prime minister of Qin when he was ten years old. Sima Yi was one year older than Gan Luo. Why could the predecessors do it?

Sima Yi can't do it? What's more, Sima Yi is not the prime minister, he is just the number one scholar. The people I hate are people who do not know their merits. I always thought that the emperor was thirsty for talents, but today it seems that the emperor is confusing right and wrong.

, I am ashamed to serve as an official under such a person who does not distinguish between black and white, so I have no choice but to resign and return to the countryside, hoping that the emperor will give me permission."

Guan Ning was upright and had no fear of Gao Fei. Instead, his words were full of sarcasm. As soon as these words came out, others were a little worried about his life and death. Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. This is why they compare with each other.

Everyone knows it.

There is no need for a reason to kill you. There is no need for a reason to pamper you. It all depends on the emperor's likes and dislikes. This is the drawback of the feudal emperor's exclusive power. Once the emperor makes a wrong decision, the imperial power is inviolable and no one can stop it.

, the ministers knew it was wrong, but they had no choice but to implement it because no one restrained the imperial power.

"Your Majesty, Lord Guan was confused for a moment and said the wrong thing. However, Lord Guan is loyal to the Emperor. I beg the Emperor to please forgive me!" Zhong Yao seemed to smell something unusual and got ahead of Gao Fei.

Said it out.

Gai Xun and Lu Zhi both knew Gao Fei very well. They knew that Gao Fei would never kill Guan Ning because of Guan Ning's words, so they stood there and watched what happened.

For a long time, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense. No one said a word. Gao Fei fell into deep thought, while the others were on tenterhooks.

"Well, what you said makes sense. I really shouldn't confuse right and wrong. Justice is in people's hearts. I have nothing to say. However, I want you to know that I have my own purpose in doing this. It does not mean that Sima Yi cannot become

The number one pick is precisely because he is so talented

, so I feel that he is a talentless person when he becomes the number one scholar. His resourcefulness is much more than that. I want to train him alone and make him a talent who can turn the tide in the future. It is also because of this that I made the decision to let Sima Yi go.

Get some experience in the military!"

Gao Fei finally expressed his inner thoughts. It was not that he did not want Sima Yi, but that it was a pity for Sima Yi to join politics. He should be a military talent. The Confucianism taught by Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, and Cai Yong was enough for Sima Yi to digest.

,

In just four years, Sima Yi has just graduated from elementary school. There is still a long way to go. Moreover, he wants to train Sima Yi to become a general who can command thousands of troops. He wants Sima Yi. To put it simply, he wants him to fight.

rather than going into politics.

"Four adults, I know that you are all upright people, and you don't have a trace of filth. I think that once I insist on disqualifying Sima Yi from participating in the competition, I am afraid that you will resign one after another. However, I ask you this time

To be accommodating, I am not trying to suppress Sima Yi, but I have another very important purpose. Well, in order to prevent similar things from happening again in the future, I will re-define the imperial government's governing outline..."

Everyone looked at each other, but they were looking forward to what Gao Fei would say next.

"I am an ordinary person just like you. The emperor is not a god, and the so-called emperor is just a name. To put it bluntly, the emperor is just the top leader of the entire country. In other words, I

Like you, we are jointly managing this country for the people of the world. This country does not belong to me or anyone else, nor does it belong to any one person, but to thousands of people. Mencius said, 'The people are the most valuable, and the country is the first.

I have always agreed with this saying, "You are at the mercy of others."

Gao Fei paused and continued: "So, from today onwards, in the name of the emperor, I change the cabinet to the Senate. From now on, on all major military and political matters in the country, the emperor, the Senate and the Privy Council will discuss together, and the suggestions put forward by the emperor must be

It can only be implemented after review by the Senate and the Privy Council. Wrong proposals can be rejected by the Senate and the Privy Council, while the Senate

The emperor also has the right to reject the proposals of the Senate and the Privy Council. When everyone cannot come up with a unified opinion, the Senate, the Privy Council and the emperor himself vote together by a show of hands. When the majority exceeds the minority, the resolution can be promulgated. In this way

Once it comes, it effectively limits the imperial power and prevents the emperor from making random decisions because of his excessive power. What do you think?"

Guan Ning, Zhong Yao, Lu Zhi, and Gai Xun were all a little surprised after hearing this. They couldn't imagine that the supreme emperor was so worthless in Gao Fei's eyes. If this was done, wouldn't it mean who should be the one?

Are all emperors the same?

However, Gao Fei's new concept opened up the minds of Guan Ning, Zhong Yao, Lu Zhi, and Gai Xun, and it suddenly became clear to them that they could still govern in this way.

Throughout history, there is no emperor who does not make mistakes, and once this mistake is made, it will have very serious consequences. Some famous emperors such as Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Emperor Zong of Tang, Song Zu, etc. all made wrong decisions of this kind.

Gao Fei had previously adopted the system of three provinces and six ministries to strengthen centralization. The so-called centralization did not mean strengthening the power of his personal emperor, but taking back some powers that should not be available to local governments. Take the Han Dynasty as an example.

All states and counties have it

The power to independently recruit troops and build weapons. Once the states and counties disobey the central government's dispatch, a separatist situation will be formed, just as Gao Fei, Ma Teng, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Liu Zhang, and Shi Xie are now separatists to segregate the entire world. This is a kind of

Criticize.

Therefore, Gao Fei adopted the three-province and six-department system, but he did not apply it in its entirety. He just selected its good aspects and combined them with modern mechanisms to create a new type of mechanism. This time, Gao Fei also proposed constraints.

The statement of the power of the monarch further proves that he is also afraid that he will make some mistakes. Once the power takes over, it will often lead to some bad things. He is afraid that before he can unify the world, he will become a person who is scolded by thousands of people.

A tyrant or a coward.

"This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided by ministers and others. There are ten people in the Senate and Privy Council. The other six adults must be notified of this matter before they can make a decision." Lu Zhi said hurriedly.

"Well, then I will write a letter to the other six adults and use this situation to restrain the imperial power. I will explain this in more detail later. But before that, regarding Sima Yi, I would like to ask the four adults to approve it!

"

Gao Fei said this as if he was begging the four of them. He was an emperor, and he originally had the right to say the right thing. One person should have the final say, but now he was consulting with the four of them. In addition, he had previously proposed to restrict the imperial power.

The incident also made Guan Ning and others see a different kind of Gao Fei. Working under such an emperor would definitely have a future.

Therefore, Guan Ning saw that Gao Fei was training Sima Yi to become a military talent, so he made the decision to distort the facts for the first time and nodded resolutely. The same was true for the other three people.

Gao Fei smiled and said: "Then, it's settled. Jiang Qian is the number one scholar, and he will be appointed as the governor participating in politics. He will be granted the title of marquis. Du Ji and Su will be councilors and can serve in the Senate. The official positions of the rest will be unified by the Senate.

Deployment.”

"I obey the order!"

Gao Fei saw a hope. In fact, as long as he instilled his thoughts into these ancient people, he believed that they would be able to understand, and the Huaxia Kingdom would be more durable in the future. He set an example and first proposed to restrain the imperial power. In this way

, the emperor is just the highest decision-maker.

The empire is rising step by step. The iron cavalry of the East is about to sweep across this era. China will also become the center of the world...
