Chapter 138 Thinking

One of the most important principles of power is distribution.

The Yun Dynasty has established the country for many years, and it has achieved the righteousness of the country and the righteousness of the world, which is beyond the reach of previous dynasties.

There are in-depth studies on how to rule the country, how to strengthen the rule of the court, and how to strengthen the rule of the emperor himself.

Gu Feixue was raised as an heir since childhood.

She is very sensitive about the ownership of power.

He also has a clear understanding of what should be done.

The power of the imperial court is not equal to the power of the emperor.

The emperor's power cannot be directly equated with Gu Feixue's power.

To realize the exchange among them, what is needed is a reasonable distribution.

The emperor also gave benefits and power to his people.

If the power cannot be given, the work of the people below will not be able to get things done.

What the emperor wanted, he couldn't get.

If all the power is given, then the people below can bypass you in doing anything, and can make decisions without the emperor's permission, so what power does your emperor have?What do you still exist for?
There should be a degree between the retraction and release of power.

Another question is who should give power to.

In a mature political system, power can actually be directly equated with "interests".

Even power is a greater and safer interest than money in general.

Therefore, such things must be what everyone wants.

The establishment of a parliament in Yunchao is a kind of decentralization.

This means that the power of ministers can actually check and balance the monarch.

This also means that the emperor has enough power to share.

Enough power represents enough interests, that is, the emperor distributes more interests to everyone.

In this way, capable people will know that they can rely on their own ability to obtain a way out from the existing political system, so that they can live better and realize their ambitions.

This kind of decentralization can actually win over and buy more people.

It is a kind of consolidation of domination.

As far as the position of "emperor" is concerned, the parliament limits it.

As far as the emperor himself is concerned, the parliament is a sharp weapon to gain the "popularity" and "popularity" of his officials, and it is also a relatively inferior thing to consolidate the rule of the court and limit his own rule.

Gu Feixue instinctively disliked such things.

But she has no power to abolish parliament.

Even her means of restricting the parliament are extremely limited.

Gu Feixue's superior position, although in name, is justified.

But she herself knew it.

This name is justifiable and does not stand up to scrutiny.

In order to prevent those old men in the parliament from appearing in the court with a child one day and forcing her down, she had to be the first to expand her power and suppress the parliament.

But it is not appropriate to start directly.

She doesn't have that much power either.

So on the sidelines.

Corruption, regardless of whether it is investigated or not, exists.

It existed in the past and it still exists in the present.

The only difference is that high-ranking officials have many opportunities to embezzle and reach out, the area is wide, and the amount is large.

As for petty officials, unless they are important positions like checkpoints, otherwise, they won't be able to covet much.

This is true of the past, the past of the Yun Dynasty, or the past of any other dynasty.

Therefore, even for things like corruption and bribery that cannot be clearly stipulated, there are actually rules.

It is very clear what level of officials can receive what level of gifts and what level of money they can get.

Even the bureaucrats abide by this more strictly than the regulations in the court.

It has always been a rule that high officials take the big ones and small officials take the small ones.

But this is unwritten.

It is also the emperor who has no power to manage it.

This standard only prevails within the bureaucrats themselves, and is only subject to the jurisdiction of the bureaucrats themselves.

This is the private domain of bureaucrats.

No matter which bureaucrat was killed or which house was stolen, no matter how talented the emperor was, he couldn't reach in.

Theoretically speaking, who can be greedy for as much as possible, and the power to govern this amount does not belong to the emperor at all.

But this is what Gu Feixue likes.

This is not her right.

Distribution or concentration has nothing to do with her.

But this is related to the income of bureaucrats.

It is related to the overall order of Yun Dynasty.

So she started with this matter.

Promulgate a decree to change the name of corruption and bribery to "administrative loss".

Corruption, of course, cannot be brought out in the open.

Change the name, but you can.

At the same time, with a different name, she used her status as emperor to promulgate this decree, which is tantamount to infringing upon the private land of the bureaucrats.

But she doesn't want to ban bureaucrats from taking bribes.

On the contrary, this decree makes corruption and bribery legal income.

It is only limited in terms of amount and tax calculation.

Big bureaucrats don't need such restrictions and protections at all.

There is no need for her to be a mere emperor to recognize the legitimacy of the money in her hand.

Even if it's illegal, don't tell me you, an emperor, intend to use the mere reason of collecting some money to overthrow the important feudal officials?
Are you going to end the political life of a feudal official just because you received some money?

Just kidding.

For the emperor's decree to take effect, it must be approved by the court.

After it is issued, it must first be recognized by the bureaucrats and implemented by the bureaucrats.

In this case, as long as the bureaucracy is still a living person and not a machine that can obey the emperor's orders, then the emperor's power will be restricted by the bureaucratic group.

If you want to attack the bureaucracy, you must take a detour.

Gu Feixue's strategy is based on this.

Although the decree she promulgated made the topic of corruption and bribery public and put it on the table, although it was to benefit some bureaucrats.

But this part of the bureaucrats must be just those bureaucrats who have no background or are not well connected.

That is, the petty bureaucrats at the bottom.

These people went from having no background to having this decree as their background.

In fact, it was she, Gu Feixue, who recruited a group of bureaucrats and prepared to attack another group of bureaucrats.

Of course, the bureaucrats will not agree to this matter.

And in the long run, the legalization of corruption and bribery is actually a kind of harm to Yun Dynasty politics.

But who cares?

Gu Feixue didn't care at all if Yun Chao was 100 years away.

No dynasty can last forever.

No one can live forever.

What she wants is to be able to do what she wants and play what she wants when she is alive.

As for later?

After that, she was all dead.

Could it be that you wronged yourself because of such boring things?

What kind of son and grandson's iron bucket country is not as good as Lao Tzu's own country!
　It's not that I don't want to update, it's that this part is a little sensitive, but I can't get around it. The role of Gu Feixue is the core of the first half.
