The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2221 The minister has objections
Lu Xiufu and others were surprised when they heard this.

Wang Wenfu said: "Your Majesty, you just said that the Minister of the First Cabinet will be in charge of the country's affairs?"

Zhao Dongting smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"I have objections!"

Wang Wenfu immediately said: "The state-owned monarch, how can others be in charge of the affairs of the country? So, how can you maintain your prestige, Your Majesty?"

Chen Wenlong and others also looked at Zhao Dongting in amazement.

Before they thought about it, the emperor wanted to be lazy again.

The emperor is good in everything, except that he is too generous.Or rather, being too lazy.

This time it was a little too much.

The education they received from childhood made them unable to accept Zhao Dongting's idea.In their view, this is likely to bring instability to Da Song.

Of course, their worries are not superfluous.

If Zhao Dongting just let go of everything, then it is inevitable that there will be something similar to "adding a yellow robe" in the future.

As long as the prestige of the chief cabinet minister exceeds that of the emperor, it is likely to replace the emperor.

Zhao Dongting was still smiling, "Aiqing, listen to me! I plan to introduce a tenure system at this Mingjingtai meeting. All officials in our dynasty will have a term of three years, except those who are corrupt and pervert the law and need to be demoted or dismissed No matter what, the rest will take a big exam once every three years. Cabinet officials and court officials and first-rank officials will be re-elected by the Mingjingtai, and the rest of the officials will have a big exam. .A person can serve a maximum of two consecutive terms in the same official position, and a maximum of five consecutive terms in the same official rank.”

Lu Xiufu and the others didn't recover for a long time.

They were already surprised when Zhao Dongting set up the Mingjing Platform before, but now, Zhao Dongting's method is even more advanced than before.

The cabinet ministers are elected by the mirror platform, and then the cabinet ministers are used to govern the country.This has never happened in the past dynasties.

It seemed that Der Spiegel took over the responsibility of selecting and appointing ministers for the emperor, while the cabinet shared the responsibility of governing government affairs for the emperor.

The emperor himself felt relaxed.

However, there seems to be no loopholes in this arrangement.

In the end, Wang Wenfu asked, "Then what do you usually do, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Dongting said: "I will grasp the main development direction of the Song Dynasty, supervise the cabinet, and then manage the Mingjingtai."

Lu Xiufu smiled wryly, "Does the emperor mean that all specific state affairs are handed over to the cabinet?"

Zhao Dongting said: "I am just an ordinary person. Even if I am diligent in government affairs, how many government affairs can I handle in a day? Moreover, if I decide the state affairs with one word, it is inevitable that mistakes will occur."

He sighed softly, "I also know the importance of imperial power, but for the future development of the Great Song Dynasty, I must hand over the power. The Great Song Dynasty needs the cooperation of all my lovers and me to manage and develop it!"

Lu Xiufu and the others had complicated expressions.

They also felt that what Zhao Dongting said was reasonable, but for a while, it was still difficult to accept.

Zhao Dongting said again: "Although I am in the prime of life now, what will I do when I get old? Even...you, who can guarantee that the successor will be a wise one? With a bright mirror and a cabinet, it will not happen that one emperor will be ruined if he is stupid. The situation of a country. I never want to see the situation where the iron hoof tramples the mountains and rivers to pieces."

There was no sound in the house for a long time.

After a while, Lu Xiufu said: "Your Majesty, what do you think... the system of first cabinet ministers, or wait for the system of tenure to be implemented first before making a decision?"

He wanted to see if the tenure system could select absolutely reliable cabinet ministers for Song Dynasty.

Only the Der Spiegel can select absolutely reliable cabinet ministers. In this way, there will be no major troubles after the emperor delegates the power to handle state affairs.

He can't guarantee that everyone can be like them now. They can work hard for Song Dynasty, but future officials may not have such awareness.

After all, they came through the flames of war and experienced the most difficult time in Song Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting was not in a hurry to unload all the burdens, so he nodded, "That's fine."

He also wanted to try whether the tenure system could be successfully implemented in Song Dynasty.

This kind of advanced thinking, implemented in the Song Dynasty, can only be regarded as crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Lu Xiufu said again: "Then the emperor intends to propose a tenure system at the Mingjingtai meeting?"

Zhao Dongting was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that it was already May, and it was almost time to hold the Mingjingtai Conference.Then nodded, "It's not too late, let's bring it up this time!"

Then he said: "After this time, the Der Spiegel Conference will be changed to every three years! It will be held every year, and it will inevitably waste the time of the Der Spiegel."

"Emperor Shengming."

Wen Qingshu, who had been useless in the crowd for a long time, heard this, and suddenly said something.

She actually wanted to bring this up a long time ago, but Zhao Dongting was never in the palace.

Cars and horses are not well developed these days, and those bright mirrors who are too far away from Changsha spend most of the year on the road.

Moreover, in fact, Der Spiegel does not have major events every year.Sometimes, when she presides over the Der Spiegel meeting, she doesn't even know what to say.
