Zhao Xuanji proposed to restore the cabinet, which was a real government matter.
After the previous confrontation, Su Jinpa really couldn't speak anymore on this matter.
Otherwise, it is just a pretext for interfering in politics.
And that imperial edict has been used once, so it is not good to use it a second time unless it is to completely break the relationship.
But Su Jinpa knew very well that this face could not be torn apart.
Su Zhenting seemed to know all these things. He did not let Su Jinpa face Zhao Xuanji alone again and stood up.
"The reform of the government structure of the three provinces is the work of His Highness with great painstaking efforts. It has been implemented for more than half a year now. Facts have proved that after the division of the three provinces, the government affairs are running smoothly and efficiently. It is much better than the previous cabinet system. At this time, we cannot easily restore the cabinet system. Otherwise, wouldn't it be
Is our Great Qin government going backwards?"
Zhao Xuanji seemed to have expected Su Zhenting's words, and said calmly: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures should be used. The officials of the three-province system do not deny that it has its advantages, but now there is no one who can make the decision, and the ministers are among themselves.
If you are not convinced, departments are arguing with each other, and the Liao army is about to invade, where will there be time for officials and departments to fight for power?"
"So the cabinet system that can make decisions with just one word is the most suitable for the current situation!"
These words resonated with many people.
Even some neutral officials nodded unconsciously.
Regardless of political stance and personal ambition, in times of chaos, the cabinet system is indeed more efficient than the three-province system.
Because the three-province system disperses power to three provinces, which are interrelated and restrained by each other. If it is a peaceful and prosperous time, this is naturally an excellent magic weapon to maintain the supremacy of imperial power. However, if the current situation is turbulent, it is necessary to have a department that can speak for itself and control the imperial power.
The will and decision-making will be carried out.
To put it bluntly, I am afraid that when Li Chen formulated the three-province system, he did not expect that one day the capital would be without an owner. Whether it was the emperor or himself, as long as there was one person around, the resurgence of the cabinet system could be completely eliminated.
But God is not as good as man, and this unforeseen omission still happened.
Su Zhenting snorted coldly and said categorically: "Government reform cannot be decided by words or deeds. This is a big matter, and it is not something that ministers can make decisions on their own. Mr. Zhao is so eager and has ulterior motives. Don't say that I don't agree. It's Da Qin."
All the soldiers of the empire will not agree!"
This statement sounds a bit threatening.
Zhao Xuanji sneered: "General Su, is this threatening me with military power?"
Su Zhenting said proudly: "All the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire will always be loyal to the imperial court, loyal to the Li family, and loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince, but you, Mr. Zhao, are not among them."
Zhao Xuanji said coldly: "It's better for generals not to meddle in the affairs of civilian officials."
"Then I must intervene?" Su Zhenting said tit for tat, refusing to give in.
Zhao Xuanji's expression was gloomy, but deep down in his heart, he didn't care.
To deal with Su Zhenting, I had long expected that he would threaten him with military power.
Zhao Xuanji said calmly: "General Su is just the general of the commander-in-chief's office. Although he oversees the military affairs of the country, he has no imperial order and has no right to mobilize any soldiers. Since General Su is so loyal, he will naturally not make any moves to mobilize troops without authorization.
Bar?"
As soon as Zhao Xuanji said these words, Su Zhenting would be killed.
Seeing that the two sides were at war with each other, the anger was getting stronger and stronger, and when they were about to break up, outside the palace, another high-pitched song came.
"The Queen has arrived!!!"
The hearts of many officials were beating wildly. Today's meeting was very lively.
