I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

After Fan Ke entered the hospital, he led people directly to the outside of the cabinet duty room, then took out a key from his arms and unlocked the door.

There is a big lock at the door of the cabinet duty room, and only the cabinet bachelor and the emperor have the key.

Fan Ke pushed open the door with a creak, then hurried in and lit the lamp skillfully.

The dim lights gradually brightened, Fan Ke called softly in the room, and Chang Yilang followed him in.

When they came out again, everyone had a stack of memorials in their arms.

Without saying another word, Fan Ke closed the door to the cabinet duty room, went to the stalls to record again, and left Shiqu Pavilion.

After walking in a hurry, Fan Ke, whose face was flushed with cold, finally returned to the outside of the Greenhouse Palace after half a quarter of an hour.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers have brought the memorial prepared by the cabinet vote." Fan Ke whispered outside the palace.

"I know, send it in." The emperor's voice came from inside.

"No!" Fan Ke then opened the door and went in, and asked several Changyi Lang to neatly stack the memorials in their hands on the case in front of the emperor.

After all the Changyi men left, Fan Ke hurriedly closed the door of the greenhouse hall, and finally stood in front of Liu He.

The dozen or so palace lanterns in the Greenhouse Hall were blown by the incoming cold wind and swayed for a long time before gradually calming down.

Liu He looked at the hundreds of books with red dragon patterns on black backgrounds in front of him and felt that they looked like a burning volcano - the red dragon patterns were naturally burning flames.

At a glance, he saw Guang Luxun's memorial at the top, which he had already drafted: Zhang Anshi and the others were quite efficient, and they really handled it so quickly.

Of course, it is also possible that they are impatient to begin with.

Liu He suppressed his inner impulse and did not reach out to pick up the memorial that he cared about most.

"Fan Ke, please criticize me with your pen." Liu He said coldly.

"Ah?" Fan Ke didn't know what the emperor meant by saying this.
"After practicing for half a year, your handwriting is better than mine and you write faster. I dictate and you write. This will always be the case from now on."

"This is a matter of great importance to the court, I am afraid..." Fan Ke knelt down in front of Liu He with some fear. "

Liu He looked at Fan Ke, who was shaking like chaff, and felt calm in his heart.

The relationship between internal officials and the emperor has always been very delicate.

The biggest characteristic of internal officials is that they have no family ties. The huge palace is their home, and the emperor is their only master.

After getting along day and night, the emperor will naturally develop trust in this seemingly inoffensive group, and then let it become his spokesperson.

Take Fan Ke, who is fourteen or fifteen years old, as an example. Compared with Huo Guang, Zhang Anshi, and even Yu Wuyou, he poses a much smaller threat to Liu He.

If Liu He hadn't known that these seemingly harmless internal officials could form a party together, and could even develop to the point of evading the imperial power and deciding the emperor's life or death, then he would have reused them without hesitation.

But the key is that Liu He already knows.

There are too many interest groups in the court, and Liu He doesn't want to release the beast of the eunuch group.

Today, I asked Fan Ke to write for me. I just asked him to make a pen, the simplest pen.

As for whether he can become the first Bingbi internal official of the Supervisor of Ceremonies in the future, it depends on the development of the situation.

"What are you afraid of?" Liu He continued to ask.

"Wei, Weichen is afraid that the courtiers will talk about His Majesty's emphasis on eunuchs..." Fan Ke said very cautiously.

"As long as you are doing things for me, this big man doesn't need to be afraid of anyone." Liu He said indifferently.

"This……"

"Fan Ke, from now on you will be a pen in my hand. You will write whatever I ask you to write."

"Your Majesty..." Fan Ke still wanted to refuse.

"Are you trying to resist the decree?" Liu He was a little unhappy.

"Wei Chen dare not!"

"Then write!"

"promise!"

Fan Ke came to the small table that belonged to him in front of the emperor, quickly opened the cinnabar-added ink, and waited for the pen to be drawn.

Then, Liu He read a memorial and handed it to Fan Ke. Then he dictated his opinions, and Fan Ke approved the cabinet vote.

After these memorials of the Red Army were sent back to the cabinet, the imperial edict was drafted by the study office, and then they were sent back to Liu He to stamp them, and then they were sent back to the various government offices for implementation.

The cabinet system has just been implemented, so Liu He can only keep a close eye on them. After everything goes smoothly, he will have backup forces to check and balance them.

Most of the cabinet's votes clearly state the opinions on how to deal with the matter, and most of the comments are simply "accurate" and "refuted."

Only when he encounters a draft that needs to be approved with the word "change", Liu He will write a few more sentences of his own opinions.

"The great craftsman made a report to Yu Wuyou, requesting 300 acres of land in the north city wall and [-] million yuan to expand the work force. He planned to grant his request in full, and ordered Da Si Nong and You Fufeng to assist in the organization."

"Yes! Increase the amount of land by 50 yuan and [-] acres."

"The lieutenant in Changyi reported to the Jian bandits, requesting that the number of lieutenants in Changyi be increased to 3000 as per the old law. We will approve the request in full and order the prime minister of Changyi, the chief minister and the arsenal to assist in the event." "Yes!"

"Gong Yu, the Commander-in-Chief of Shuiheng, requested to mint [-] million new five-baht coins. I plan to grant his request in full and order the Grand Secretary of Agriculture, Gongguan and the Young Master to assist in the organization."

"allow!"

"Taichang Su Wu asked for millions of dollars to build the late emperor's mausoleum. He planned to grant his request in full and ordered the chief minister to assist in the construction."

"Accurate! Increase it to 200 million yuan."

"Wang Yin of Jiaodong and others asked for 200 million yuan to renovate the Chang'an residence of the kings. We planned to grant their request and ordered the chief minister to assist in the project."

"Refutation! The kings did not know how to be economical and considerate of the people, which brought shame to the ancestors of all generations!"

"Zhang De, the governor of Shangjun, said that when the Han army passed through the border, the wealthy families in the county made a lot of contributions. Please grant the millions of households in Shangjun a [-]% reduction in land rent. I will approve his request and order the chief agricultural officer to assist in the arrangement."

"Refutation! There is no need to reduce the rent by [-]% when millions of households have no worries about food and clothing. County Governor Zhang De might as well resign and go home to sell kudzu!"

……

Liu He kept making decisions all the time, and Fan Ke also kept making plans for the emperor's approval. The monarch and his ministers cooperated very well.

In less than an hour, almost all the memorials on the case in front of Liu He were transferred to Fan Ke's case.

Fan Ke's case was very small, and the pile of memorials as high as a mountain was precarious, but it maintained a delicate balance.

Liu He looked at the last memorial on the case - from Guang Luxun and Gong Sui, regarding the candidates for the twenty assistant officers in the court.

He finally opened the memorial and first looked at the list of sixty alternate officials submitted by Gong Sui. It was quite satisfactory and there were no major problems.

Then, he carefully read the final list of names on the cabinet vote.

After just one glance, Liu He, who was extremely angry, slapped the memorial on the case with a loud bang.

cabinet!Bullying!

That is my official position!There are twenty of them, but I don’t have one. Do I still need to thank them? !

Liu He's originally calm eyes suddenly changed, murderous intent and anger flashed in his eyes!
Unexpectedly, the cabinet is so "uninformed"! ?

Almost all of the twenty appointed officials were Confucian scholars who read Confucian classics intensively.

Many people had previously served as "clean officials" such as miscellaneous doctors and doctoral officers. They had no experience in government management and had to adapt for a long time before they could become assistant and second-hand officials of various yamen.

In addition, some people have too strong aura of aristocratic families.

Take Yang Zhong, who was designated as Yushi Zhongcheng, as an example. He was the son of the former prime minister Yang Chang; another example is Zhang Chang, who was designated as Tingweicheng. His ancestors were two thousand stone courtiers for two generations.

It was extremely common for Confucian scholars to be promoted to serve as important ministers in the court, so there was no problem for Gong Sui to choose more Confucian scholars.

And Liu He did not absolutely reject Confucian scholars.

Then the problem lies with the cabinet.

There are a total of sixty candidates for the twenty official positions - [-]% are Confucian scholars and Xunli officials who are involved with aristocratic families or major sects of Confucianism, and [-]% are officials from lower-level backgrounds.

If it was entirely out of public interest, then the final list of 20 people should also show a ratio of [-]-[-].

But the current situation is simply shocking!
Those officials who came from the bottom and did not have many connections were eliminated without exception, and no one was left behind!
This is nothing but bullying! ?

The cabinet's intention is very obvious, which is to play against the emperor!

Liu He did not expect Zhang Anshi and the others to learn so quickly. In just a few days, they found the gap in power and began to play hide-and-seek with Liu He.

The cabinet system was more than 1000 years ahead of the Han Dynasty, but these powerful officials quickly found loopholes, which was simply terrifying.

Zhang Anshi and others may not have bad intentions, and may even be loyal to the emperor, but the problem is that Liu He may not be willing to take their loyalty.

Regardless of whether they are loyal or selfish, if they are not of the same mind as the emperor, then they must be punished!

"Your Majesty, this memorial..." Fan Ke, who was frightened by the emperor's sudden anger and turned pale, reminded in a low voice.

"I will keep this memorial but not publish it. You can take it back to me as it is and put it on Zhang Anshi's case!" Liu He said suppressing his anger.

"This……"

"Go! Go now!" Liu He raised his eyes and glared at Fan Ke.

"Wei!" Fan Ke agreed and quickly went to sort out the memorial.

"In addition, you can tell them tomorrow that from today on, I will not go to the cabinet, so they don't have to come to see me without an edict!"

"Just send me the bonus as usual!"

"Wei!" Fan Ke responded again.

I am very dissatisfied with this matter, but I won’t say anything, so you can guess.

If we don’t stop this unhealthy trend, I’m afraid we will continue to die! (End of chapter)
