Little Chengzi looked at Liu Mingzhi's gloomy expression, put away the whisk and waved her hand to the four young eunuchs to exit the hall and wait. She poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it to Liu Mingzhi.
"Your Majesty, please calm down, your Majesty, please calm down, because it is inevitable that the instructions and memorials will accumulate for a long time, but your Majesty should not take the joke as truth.
It's okay to curse a few words and throw something to vent your frustration, but how can you really abdicate your position and make way for someone more worthy?
Nowadays, the world has just been unified for less than a year, and everything in the imperial court and countryside is in need of improvement.
Your Majesty, you are in the prime of your life. At this time, what should I do if you abdicate the throne and let me go to Shiwan Mountains and Rivers?
Get rid of your anger, get rid of your anger, don’t take it seriously!”
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyes and stared at Xiao Chengzi for a while, then raised his hand to take the herbal tea in his hand and drank it in one gulp.
"You are right. Now that the world has just been unified and everything is waiting for improvement, it is indeed not appropriate to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of the throne.
You go and invite the three eldest sons of the emperor, and ask them to pick out the memorials submitted by officials below the fourth rank and comment on them yourself. I will go to the Imperial Garden to relax first and come back to review their results."
"Yes, let's resign!"
"etc!"
"His Majesty?"
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a while: "Call the four sisters Luoyue, Yaoyao, Yiyi, and Feifei to help Chengfeng and his three brothers review the memorial."
"Ah? Let several princesses review the memorial?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Xiao Chengzi's astonished look and waved his hands angrily: "Why are you stunned? Go quickly!"
"Yes, yes, let's resign!"
After Xiao Chengzi left, Liu Mingzhi looked back at the pile of memorials on the Dragon Case, and walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back helplessly.
"My young master was so damn sick back then. Why did he do anything wrong? He actually rebelled and became the emperor. It's too late to regret it!"
In the imperial garden of the imperial palace, Liu Mingzhi's eyes flickered as he walked towards the wind-viewing pavilion where many ladies stayed together, chatting and relaxing.
I kept thinking about the cabinet system that suddenly came to my mind on the way to the Royal Garden.
To be precise, we are weighing the pros and cons of establishing a cabinet system.
If you establish a cabinet, it will naturally be of great benefit to you in handling government affairs, but everything in the world is like Yin and Yang, and there will always be opposites.
If there are great advantages, there will naturally be great disadvantages.
The advantage is naturally that it can reduce one's own pressure. Memorials submitted to the capital by various state governments can be quickly reviewed and returned to the government for implementation in a timely manner.
The disadvantage is, of course, that the cabinet tends to become powerful, which invisibly empties the imperial power.
Of course I am not afraid, but what about the next emperor? Or even the successors in a few generations?
If one of his descendants encounters something useless, the shortcomings of the cabinet will be infinitely magnified.
At that time, the existence of the cabinet was not to help the emperor handle the government affairs quickly and effectively, but to bring chaos to the government and endanger the world.
How about trying to establish a cabinet first? Once you discover the shortcomings, you can abolish the cabinet a hundred years later!
But once this precedent is set, what should we do if the successors are as lazy as themselves and re-establish a cabinet that they cannot suppress?
cabinet!
cabinet!
How about establishing a government agency to control the cabinet at the same time as the cabinet?
But what kind of government office should be used to control the cabinet?
At the very least, two things must be guaranteed.
First of all, this government office cannot form cliques with cabinet officials for personal gain; secondly, this government office has the power to control cabinet officials, but it cannot interfere with the normal operation of the cabinet.
East Factory? West Factory? This kind of establishment was established by eunuchs and must rely on the power of the emperor?
As soon as this thought flashed across his mind, Liu Mingzhi immediately threw it out of his mind.
Eunuchs hold great power and do more harm than good.
Because they are the emperor's personal attendants, they are likely to influence the emperor's thoughts to a certain extent.
It's still my original thought. Although I am not afraid, future generations may not be able to effectively utilize this power.
If you give the eunuch the power to take the lead, you must not start it yourself, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
"Prince-in-law, the late Emperor never deliberately suppressed the King of Shu and others in their struggle for power with His Highness the Crown Prince. If His Highness the Crown Prince is assisted by all the civil and military talents of the dynasty and is still no match for the vassal king, it only means that His Highness the Crown Prince is not suitable to be an emperor.
So what if the King of Shu rebels and proclaims himself emperor? As long as the surname in the world is Li, it will be fine as long as the people in the world are related to the Li family.
They are all their own flesh and blood, and those who are capable are the results that emperors of all ages hope to see.
Because this is the only way to ensure that the inheritance of our ancestors is passed down from generation to generation and lasts for hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand years."
The words that the chief steward of the imperial mausoleum, Lao Zhou, said to him involuntarily appeared in his mind, which made Liu Mingzhi's eyes light up and lingered in his mind forever.
An idea silently came up in Liu Mingzhi's mind, but he still didn't make a decision immediately.
The pros and cons must be carefully weighed by yourself.
Moreover, you have to test it yourself during your lifetime to ensure that it is absolutely foolproof.
Qi Yun, Qi Ya, and the queen sisters were chatting and laughing while embroidering their own underwear in the wind-viewing pavilion, discussing with the sisters beside them from time to time.
All their food and clothing expenses are prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Clothing Room, so there is no need for them to support themselves.
But after staying in the deep palace compound for a long time, they were so bored that their joints became stiff. They really didn't know what to do other than this.
"Husband!"
"Husband, you are here!"
"Husband, are you finished with government affairs?"
"You are heartless. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. I have sewed a thin robe for you. Please put it on and try it for size. I will see if there are any modifications needed."
"Husband..."
When Qinglian, who was sitting on the bench in the pavilion directly across the road, was the first to notice Mr. Liu's arrival and stood up to salute, a group of Yingying Yanyan also quickly got up and greeted Mr. Liu with a smile.
However, none of them received a response from Mr. Liu.
All the beauties, who didn't know what kind of evil possessed Mr. Daofu, watched in surprise as Mr. Liu's soul wandered into the sky, walking non-stop towards the lakeside in front of the Wind Viewing Pavilion.
Is your husband going to feed the koi?
"Husband, the fish feed is in the wooden box on my side..."
There was a muffled sound, and water splashed everywhere, wetting the bluestone slabs on the lakeside and the soil under the green grass.
The girls' delicate bodies trembled, and they hurriedly put down the embroidery in their hands and ran toward the river, exclaiming in unison.
The beauties' personal maids also hurriedly followed, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
"Husband?"
"Husband?"
"Husband?"
"Heartless?"
"What the hell? What idiot pushed this young master into the lake?"
When the girls hurriedly trotted to the lakeside, Young Master Liu was grabbing the bluestone on the lakeside with both hands, cursing and spitting out lake water.
"Husband, are you okay?"
When Liu Mingzhi raised his head, he happened to see a dozen ladies leaning over the lake, leaning towards each other with their thin and fat waists, each with their own merits, looking at him lying beside the lake in bewilderment.
Liu Mingzhi looked down at himself, and then at the strange expressions on Qi Yun's and other dozen beauties' faces. Liu Mingzhi frowned.
"Did you push my husband down?"
The girls were stunned and looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Want to add guilt?
The Queen raised her lotus feet and lightly stepped on Young Master Liu's shoulder: "Don't accuse me unjustly here. Who pushed you into the lake?"
"My husband is in the lake, you guys are at the lakeside, and there are no outsiders here. Could it be that you guys didn't push it or that I jumped in by myself?"
The girls' faces froze, and they didn't know how to reply for a moment.
What you said makes so much sense, we sisters are speechless.
