Chapter 262 Chapter 262: It’s nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree
Li Shimin turned to look at Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng immediately said: "It's a big no-no. Changsun Wuji now only has the power of a Taiwei and is one of the prime ministers. If so, it would be a big taboo for him to be in charge of the Imperial Guard again!"
Wei Zheng said something bluntly, but he was not polite at this moment.
"If your Majesty's true general, the eldest grandson Taiwei, is appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guards, he will definitely have violated the taboo of the world, and the Tang Dynasty will be overthrown, but it will only happen in a blink of an eye!"
When Li Shimin heard this, his face darkened.
Could it be possible that his brother-in-law would harm him?
Li Shimin frowned with a little doubt in his heart and said: "Wei Zheng... you..."
Wei Zheng immediately said: "What I said was from the bottom of my heart!"
Li Shimin thought this was also the case.
He frowned slightly and said: "Changsun Wuji is now the head of hundreds of officials, we must not let him go further!"
Hearing these words, Muchuan had a look of astonishment on his face, and then suddenly a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth!
Next is his most ruthless move!
If this move can succeed, then my plan will succeed.
Although Li Shimin is a rare hero and sage in the world, he is still limited by the times.
Muchuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, even if you are so humble, there is still a strategy here!"
Li Shimin nodded slowly and said, "Then I want to see what other ideas you have!"
Muchuan immediately said: "I can speak boldly. Your Majesty is most worried now. That is that the ministers have different opinions from Your Majesty. They are also worried that there are those who violate His Majesty's will among the courtiers. They are also worried that those who have made meritorious deeds in the army will break the law."
Indiscipline, even if it is so, can be cured by the royal guards."
"But who can control Jin Yiwei? That is the art of checks and balances!"
"Your Majesty, please give all officials the power to question the Jin Yiwei. However, the power to investigate and deal with the Jin Yiwei cannot be scattered among the hundreds of officials. Instead, it must be a collective effort, but also a breakthrough. Your Majesty can choose the elite among the bachelors.
When you join His Majesty's cabinet, use the cabinet to check and balance the Jin Yiwei, and use the Jin Yiwei to check and balance the hundreds of officials! Only when the hundreds of officials join the cabinet can you check and balance the Jin Yiwei. This cycle repeats, and the Jin Yiwei's worries can be eliminated!"
After hearing what he said, Li Shimin frowned.
He also heard it very clearly.
He immediately threw away all the polite words he had just said.
This is obviously to allow himself to establish an inner court system similar to that of the Western Han Dynasty.
In other words, he still needs to find a group of courtiers to check and balance Jin Yiwei.
But he also wanted to use the royal guards to check and balance the court officials and officials.
Although this can achieve the goal of making officials fearful and court officials jealous, it is still a very troublesome matter.
Li Shimin's brows furrowed when he thought of this, and for a moment he was speechless.
Because he couldn't imagine what was most wrong with this strict logic?
Muchuan continued to say: "Your Majesty, the inner court can start from scratch. Any memorial to the officials can be reviewed by the inner court first, then discussed with the officials, and then a conclusion can be omitted before being submitted to your majesty.
There are many bloated things, but after the so-called collective efforts, more mistakes can be avoided.
event."
Li Shimin became curious.
"Then how can I control them?"
Muchuan will use his most powerful killing move next!
"Of course your Majesty has a last resort. First of all, the inner court and officials only have the power to discuss and execute, but not to make decisions. The power to make decisions will be in the hands of the emperor in the future. No one can deprive this right.
That is to say, if His Majesty does not nod, they will start a new motion. Even if they want to impeach Jin Yiwei, they will have to start a new motion!"
Li Shimin's eyes immediately lit up.
Although the system is very similar to today.
But it saves more time and effort.
Li Shimin is now handling government affairs, and I am already as busy as a headless fly. I already feel a little out of my depth. After all, he has to handle all the affairs of the Tang Dynasty.
But if there is a system where the cabinet and officials work together as mentioned just now, then I only need to nod my head to decide the matter.
And he can monitor them as a royal guard, have they made any mistakes?
And they can also use the cabinet to picket Jin Yiwei!
And I watch them from God's perspective, so I can save time, effort and efficiency!
When he thought about it like this, he immediately made a decision!
"This is a great plan! But the head of the inner court... No, who should be the head of the cabinet?"
Of course Muchuan would not say it was him. He immediately said: "In my opinion, among all the officials, the most suitable one is the one who is closest to and special to His Majesty, and this person must be Prime Minister Wei!"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Zheng was stunned.
Wei Zheng had some surprise on his face.
He never expected that this guy would recommend him.
Muchuan immediately said seriously: "Prime Minister Wei Zheng is dedicated and perfect in his position. He is upright and upright. Although he is loyal to His Majesty, he does not allow His Majesty to make any mistakes. He can be said to be the most friendly person.
But he is also the most distant, so this is the most suitable person for the cabinet!"
Wei Zheng was stunned for a while before he came to his senses and said quickly: "Old minister..."
Li Shimin immediately said: "You don't need to talk about Wei Zheng. I think you are very suitable. From today on, you will be... the head of the cabinet!"
Wei Zheng was stunned by this name for a moment.
He couldn't even react at once.
With this move, Muchuan suddenly changed the imperial system of the Tang Dynasty!
The reason why he does this is to protect his own interests!
Now the head of the cabinet has become Wei Zheng. Although the cabinet has just been established and it is very likely that not all people have been recruited, Changsun Wuji, as the head of the officials, will definitely target Wei Zheng.
And I can give up my position as the commander of the Jin Yiwei, but so what?
Even if you give up your position, you still have room!
Muchuan had already thought of a way out for himself.
Then he said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen feels that if Changsun Taiwei cannot be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, Wei Chen has another candidate!"
Li Shimin said curiously: "Tell me who it is!"
"The Ninth Prince of the Emperor Li Zhi!"
Li Shimin was a little surprised as soon as he said this.
"Why him?"
Of course Muchuan had something to say, but why did he recommend him? That was because this boy was truly the Dragon Emperor, so he actually recommended him. So if he recommended him, it would be a good place to enjoy the shade under the big tree!
