In the past, people could survive without education and medical care, but Bao Xing knew very well that once such things were available, no one would be willing to lose them.
As long as the people still stand on the side of the royal family, no matter how much trouble is made in the outer court, it cannot shake the status of the royal family.
When His Majesty first proposed to let the concubines in the harem do something, no one expressed any objection. Now that the inner palace has formed a large scale, the operation of the Han Dynasty is inseparable from the academies, hospitals and other institutions related to the inner palace.
Now everyone understands His Majesty's thoughts, but no one can change anything. Saying that the inner government should not exist is going against the world, or even against yourself. After all, who doesn't have a patient or something?
Bao Xing didn't want to hear and didn't dare to hear matters involving the inner government.
As His Majesty's secretary-general, I just help His Majesty with the affairs of the outer court. There is no need to know what is going on in the inner court.
Although the Han Dynasty has not clearly proposed the concepts of inner court and outer court, smart people can more or less realize that the Han Dynasty has actually formed an inner court which is not very obvious.
The distinction between the inner court and the outer court is not new. It was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who first proposed this concept. In order to strengthen the centralized rule, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty separated the inner court and the inner court. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing at that time were actually close ministers of the inner court.
They have more opportunities to get close to the emperor and obey the emperor's direct orders. Under the checks and balances and even deterrence of the inner court, the ministers of the outer court will naturally not be able to do anything extraordinary.
Your Majesty is also the master of great talents and great plans, and of course he will not just watch the power fall to other places. It is reasonable to distinguish between the inner and outer courts. If the inner court was not mainly controlled by the concubines of the harem, no one would have any objections to this.
It was because of the presence of women that the civil and military ministers felt uneasy and worried.
After all, the status of women has not yet been fully raised. Of course, the courtiers are worried about whether there will be chaos in the harem. Before this, there have been too many precedents in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Feng Xiaolian is one, Zhang Lihua is another, these are all
It happened not long ago, so it is normal for everyone to have lingering fears.
Fortunately, smart people actually know in their hearts that part of the reason for the so-called women's chaos in politics is that some women are ambitious or jealous, but their brains are not very good, and they lack the overall situation due to their short-sightedness, and do things that disrupt the overall situation.
decision, but in the final analysis it is still because of the man’s blind favor.
What is said about the disaster of beauty? In fact, it is not the sin caused by men? It is just that blaming it on women can wash away one or two of them.
In addition, His Majesty himself is not the kind of emperor who indulges in womanizing. The streamlined size of the harem has been secretly praised by many people, and the performance of the harem's inner palace is also seen by everyone, so even if you want to find faults, you can't.
I couldn't find a place to talk, so I could only watch the inner palace become stronger step by step.
Today, the imperial court and the inner government are actually two complete entities that are inextricably linked, but in fact exist in opposition to each other. The stability of the country is inseparable from the inner government. The inner government has passed the Northern Expedition at a rapid pace
The expansion completed the transformation from His Majesty's small treasury to the inner court.
Thanks to the Northern Expedition, nursing teams and military hospitals quickly took root in various state capitals, not to mention academies and charity halls. They have been tied to the Han people's policy of reassuring the people. If they want to reassuring the people, these
It is indispensable.
Moreover, the imperial court now does not only have one opponent and companion, the inner government. The military is actually independent of the imperial court. None of the three provinces and six ministries of the imperial court can form an effective restriction on the military. However, the military passes through the Taiwei Mansion.
Keep in touch with the court.
Coupled with the Yushitai, who was responsible for supervision, both within the court and outside the court, the ruling class of the Han Dynasty had formed a situation that was interlocked and restricted each other but was not completely antagonistic.
Whether it is the three provinces and six ministries that handle civil affairs, the Taiwei Mansion that handles military affairs, plus the inner government and Yushitai, or even the Baipao who is truly outside the entire system, it is difficult to say who is restraining whom and who is.
Who is helping whom? No department cannot complete the tasks within its responsibilities because of the existence of another department.
Bao Xing has not been in the imperial court for a long time, and he doesn't know whether the current situation is caused by His Majesty's deliberate planning or the natural evolution of time. But at least the current situation is not bad for the big man.
Unless you are really ambitious and want to be a person who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, in this kind of system, everyone can do their own thing without restricting each other. Isn't this the most ideal state for an official?
Bao Xing thought about these things in his mind, excused himself and turned around to leave.
Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and knocked on the memorials in the inner palace: "Zhen'er, I remember that I reviewed more than a dozen memorials just a few years ago. Why did they accumulate so quickly?"
After all, the size of the inner palace cannot be compared with the six departments of the imperial court, so the number of memorials sent is only a fraction of that of the outer court. The inner palace is the inner palace. Although the concubines of the harem are in charge, Li Xingchen will never allow the affairs of the inner palace
The decision was made directly at his dinner table or even on his bed. Any matters related to the inner palace, even if Li Xinchen verbally agreed during daily conversations at home, must be written into a memorial for Li Xinchen to review and annotate.
There is no rule without rules. A single word from the emperor may affect the lives of tens of millions of people. It will not work without the issuance of formal official documents and memorials.
Yu Chizhen said hurriedly: "Year ago, I only gave His Majesty the financial report of the inner government. This is the inner government's expenditure plan for the new year. In addition, there are also specific plans for the following affairs, including the newly established hospital, charity hall and
The academy, ministers and concubines have all been compiled into a form and attached to the back of the first memorial, just waiting for His Majesty's approval."
Li Xingchen patted his head, but he had forgotten about it.
I have read last year’s financial report, but I haven’t read this year’s plan yet.
I read so many memorials every day that I can’t even turn around.
He gently squeezed the back of Yu Chizhen's hand: "Thank you for your hard work."
While Yu Chizhen was studying the ink for Li Xunchen, she shook her head: "I am not miserable. The sisters are running around outside, so I am very contented."
Li Xingchen raised his head and looked at her: "If you don't want to do it, you don't have to do it. The inner palace is not the harem. I don't force anyone."
It is well known that there is a shortage of people in the harem, so after Yuchizhen entered the palace, she was directly pulled into the important position of Li Xinchen's personal secretary. However, Yuchizhen should be the only one in the harem who was not consulted whether she was willing to do this.
After all, Chen Xuanhua and the others were very busy at that time. If someone comes to fill in for you, who cares if you are willing or not?
Yuchizhen was startled for a moment, and said in surprise: "Why did your Majesty say this? How could I not be willing? I can do something for the people of the world, and I can't ask for it."
