Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 562 Dealing with Government Affairs

Gao Ming planned to let Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu, Gao Shilian, Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji screen the memorials together. This idea actually originated from the cabinet system.

The cabinet originated from the state of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period of our country. After Jin Wengong returned to the country, he established the six ministers of the three armies, and the six ministers of the Jin State were in charge of military and political affairs. Because of this system, Jin became the country that dominated the Central Plains for the longest time in the Spring and Autumn Period. .

After the Qin State unified the six countries, the centralized system of absolute monarchy replaced the cabinet system. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the "cabinet" was restored. After the Ming Dynasty fell, the Qing Dynasty continued to use the cabinet as an institution.

It can be seen that the cabinet system is actually a very advanced political organization.

Datang is still an autocratic monarchy now, and the system of three provinces and six ministries is implemented, but Gao Ming has no intention of changing this system. The reason why he plans to find several people to screen memorials together is to increase work efficiency and reduce his workload at the same time. .

In his opinion, Fang Xuanling is very wise, Xiao Yu is upright, Gao Shilian has no cronies, Wang Gui is not afraid of offending others, and Changsun Wuji, who is in charge of the overall situation, is not to mention a temporary agency for screening papers. It is enough to build a real cabinet.

Of course, Gao Ming would not tell Changsun Wuji such an idea, but even if he didn't say it, Changsun Wuji could guess some of his thoughts.

As the "first brother" in the imperial court, the uncle of the Tang Dynasty, and the number one person in Lingyan Pavilion, Changsun Wuji is naturally not in vain. As soon as Gao Ming's voice fell, he thought of the cabinet.

So he knew very well how much influence the temporary agency that Gao Ming planned to organize to screen papers had!

But after getting along for such a long time, Changsun Wuji can understand Gao Ming's character more or less, and knows that he is a person who is afraid of trouble. Now that he understands this, it is not difficult to guess what he thinks about him.

"His Royal Highness, is he... planning to be lazy?"

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji's expression suddenly became a little weird.

However, Changsun Wuji is still very willing to accept such things, because he hopes to gain greater autonomy.

"If His Royal Highness is the emperor, then maybe this cabinet is not temporary?"

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji felt a little regretful in his heart. At the same time, he also looked forward to the day when Gao Ming ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, because for a minister who likes power, nothing is more worthy than an emperor who likes to be lazy. Looking forward to it.

But Changsun Wuji didn't know that the cabinet system was not the system that Gao Ming was most satisfied with. For Gao Ming, no matter how good the cabinet was, it was not as direct, effective, and safe as the separation of powers.

But it is of course impossible to realize the separation of powers now. First of all, Li Shimin will not agree to give up the power in his hand. Secondly, Gao Ming does not want two "overlords" to ride on his head.

"When I get old, then for the continuation of Datang, I might consider the separation of powers and the parliamentary system, but if I really do this, I don't know what will become of Datang..."

Thinking of this, Gao Ming shook his head again to drive out the messy thoughts in his mind, and then looked at Changsun Wuji again.

"When screening the scriptures, I will talk about them in the courtroom tomorrow. As for today, you can divide the scriptures. If they are not particularly important, you can save them for screening tomorrow morning!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Changsun Wuji nodded again immediately.

"What His Royal Highness said is very true. There is really no urgent need to deal with these notes. It doesn't matter even if it is a day late."

"That's good!" Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Gao Ming smiled and nodded again: "Then I hope uncle will help me tomorrow morning!"

"His Royal Highness is serious!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Changsun Wuji once again showed a flattered look, and quickly got up and saluted Gao Ming.

"The old minister must do his best to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing Changsun Wuji's serious face, Gao Ming once again had a satisfied smile on his face.

"So, thank you uncle!"

"His Royal Highness is too polite, this is what a veteran should do!"

The two were stunned again for a while, and Changsun Wuji took his leave and left the East Palace. After he left, Su Wan'er came out from the backyard.

After coming out, she came directly behind Gao Ming, stretched out a pair of jade hands, and gently massaged Gao Ming's shoulders.

"Lang Jun, why did Uncle Guo come to the East Palace?"

Being pressed by Su Wan'er's little hand, Gao Ming suddenly snorted comfortably, and then smiled slightly at her.

"He's here to deliver the booklet!"

"Oh!"

Gao Ming didn't say much, and Su Wan'er didn't ask too much, but just gently pressed his shoulder.

After a while, Gao Ming patted the little hand on his shoulder lightly, and then smiled at her again.

"Okay, don't press it anymore, I remember you haven't eaten yet?"

"I'm not hungry!"

Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming smiled and shook his head again.

"I've asked Shi Jian to prepare it. Even if it's for our baby, you can eat more or less. I'll go to the study to read the brochure first!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming stood up and hugged Su Wan'er, and then walked towards the study.

Looking at Gao Ming's back, Su Wan'er immediately stroked her swollen belly lightly, her face was full of happy smiles.

"For the baby...hehe..."

Most women are emotional, they will be happy or sad because of an insignificant thing or a casual voice.

Most men are rational, but when faced with things they can't handle, they still go crazy.

And Gao Ming is already on the verge of going crazy.

"What is this...what?"

At this time, Gao Ming's face was full of expressions of doubt, bewilderment, entanglement, depression and helplessness, and what caused all of this was the book in his hand.

Datang's writing is regular script, although there are many traditional characters in it, but this is not a problem for Gao Ming.

The reason for Gao Ming's current situation is the classical Chinese written in traditional regular script on the memorial, and the classical Chinese without punctuation marks!
According to the densely packed words on the notebooks, Gao Ming even suspected that if he finished processing these dozens of classical Chinese essays without punctuation marks, he might die of exhaustion.

"Damn, this is no longer dealing with government affairs, this is simply killing me!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately rubbed his head, and then sighed helplessly.

"Well...it seems that I have to tell them about it tomorrow morning. Even if I can't let them use vernacular, at least I have to add punctuation marks. Zhezi killed it!"
