Chapter 555 The Cabinet of the Military Aircraft Department

"I understand the truth of what you said, but in the final analysis, manpower is sometimes poor, and when will I be able to sort out so many problems." Li Shimin said helplessly.

"Isn't Zaifu and the ministers here, just let them discuss." Yue Shan said again.

"Hehe..." Li Shimin didn't make a joke this time, but chuckled lightly and didn't answer.

Yue Shan was puzzled at first, what does the emperor mean?Is it because he doesn't trust Zaifu's ability or the ability of the ministers?But after all, I have dealt with Li Shimin for several years, so I guessed his thoughts after a little thought.

It's not that I don't believe in the ability of the officials, but that I don't believe in their loyalty.

Everyone has selfishness, and they will inevitably choose the path that is most beneficial to them when doing things, or in other words, they will seek benefits for themselves in the process of doing things.

The same thing, in the eyes of different officials, represents different things, and everyone is very different.If you really leave the decision-making power to them, there is nothing left to talk about, and you will never even think about it in this life.

Forget about ordinary things, but formulating policies at the national level is different, and it involves too much.If it is done well, everything will be fine, but if it is not done well, the foundation of the country will be shaken.

You must not easily teach things to them to make decisions. Even if you leave it to them to discuss, as a king, you must have a standard in your heart, and you will not be influenced by the officials' words.

Some people say that the king does not need to know everything, as long as he can employ people.This is not bad, but if you really take this sentence as a standard, you will die miserably.

As an emperor, it is true that you don't need to know everything, but no matter what kind of decision you make, you will do a special investigation beforehand.Only when you understand this matter clearly, can you decide to do or not to do it after weighing the gains and losses.

Otherwise, you're good at employing people, and it won't be long before you find out that things are all messed up.

The emperor had to read through the suggestions Yue Shan had sorted out, and he would discuss them with Zaifu only after he had a solid foundation in his mind.After the discussion, Zaifu asked for the opinions of the ministers in the court.

There are more than 3000 suggestions, involving all walks of life, even if Li Shimin has ten heads to think, it is not enough.

So sometimes the courtiers are too good at picking, and they can't do it, thousands of them in one breath.

At this time, it seems to be the most reasonable way to discuss with Zaifu, and gather the wisdom of everyone to select the most urgent plan and implement it.

However, as I said just now, who can guarantee that these prime ministers have no selfish intentions?Who can guarantee that the remaining suggestions are neither urgent nor important?

What if someone hides something and misses a major event?
Without the suggestions Yue Shan sorted out, Li Shimin wouldn't have thought so much, because he didn't know about them at all, and he couldn't worry about them.Now that I know it, I will inevitably strive for excellence and worry about gains and losses.

"It's all a good thing you did." Li Shimin rubbed his temples with a big head and said, "No, you created the problem. You must find a solution for me."

"Uh..." Yue Shan felt like shooting himself in the foot again.

If he knew that Li Shimin would think so much, he wouldn't make so many suggestions, just pick a few key ones and hand them in, and it's over, easy.

But he does have a solution.

"Form a cabinet," Yue Shan said.

"What is the cabinet?" Li Shimin asked quickly.

"The cabinet is just a name I randomly named, and its function is to prepare for the king to consult with the government at any time." Yue Shan explained:

"The yamen of the three provinces and six ministries are all outside the Chengtian Gate. It would be inconvenient for the sage to recruit people to consult with the government. I suggest that you can select the most secretive people to write on the value, thinking that it will be used for emergency affairs and assist the king in handling government affairs."

"Doesn't the position of the cabinet conflict with the prime minister?" Li Shimin frowned.

"No, the role of the cabinet is only to consult with the state and to handle affairs. Moreover, it is a temporary organization, and it must be a temporary organization. There are no formal regulations on the office space and the appointment of officials, and there are no grades and salaries." Yue Shan said meaningfully .

If a later generation hears this passage, they will immediately understand what this cabinet is. To put it bluntly, the Qing Military Aircraft Office has changed its name.

The Military Aircraft Department has to be said to be a genius idea. It turned the Xiangquan, which originally divided the emperor's power, into a Xianggou, and also brought the feudal monarchy to the peak of history.

The cabinet was born much earlier. It was established by Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty in four years. Its function is very simple, it is for the emperor to consult the government, which is equivalent to a secretarial organization.

It was only later that the power of the cabinet gradually expanded, and it became the administrative center in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

The cabinet created by Yueshan is a combination of the cabinet and the military aircraft department in the early Ming Dynasty.

The emperor selects people he trusts to join the cabinet. On the one hand, he serves as the emperor's staff, and on the other hand, he also undertakes affairs.

Of course, this is not the most important point. The real essence is that such a powerful department is actually a temporary agency, and officials have no rating or salary. The emperor can appoint people he trusts to serve in the cabinet at will.

It is very difficult to change the prime minister at ordinary times, and the emperor cannot change at will without a legitimate reason.

But it's different with the cabinet. I can use whoever I want, and replace it if I don't want to use it.The ministers don't even have a reason to object... This is my private secretary. Is my majestic Tang Dynasty sage not even free to change his secretary?
The ladder Yueshan has been erected, and it depends on whether Li Shimin can penetrate it.

In fact, Li Shimin is worthy of being Li Shimin, the more he thinks about the cabinet system, the brighter his eyes become, and he turns into a light bulb in the back, a thief.

"The cabinet, the cabinet, what a cabinet. Now I'm really curious about how miraculous the Three Emperors Book is. Just reading it unconsciously can make you such a talented person." Li Shimin stared at him and said.

"Sage, do you think the cabinet is feasible?" Yue Shan asked, pretending not to hear him.

"It is feasible, very feasible, but it must be delayed." Li Shimin nodded solemnly: "Tomorrow I will set up a cabinet in Chengtianmen, select talented people to enter for consultation, and assist me in formulating this year's work plan."

"Sages are wise." Yue Shan said.

The reason is very simple, the Yueshan version of the cabinet is to rob Zaifu of the control of the six ministries, which will inevitably arouse the opposition of the six ministries of the three provinces.

Therefore, the cabinet was first set up on the grounds of assisting in the preparation of national plans. The function is very simple, that is, to prepare for consultation.Then just add power to it slowly, and it will be too late by the time the officials react.

This is boiled frog in warm water.

"Do you want to join?" Li Shimin asked.

"I'd better wait 20 years to talk about it." Yue Shan refused.

"That's fine, it's just a formality for you to get in or not, so you don't need to care about it." Li Shimin nodded.

Is it really just a formality?That is impossible.How did the qualifications come about?If he ascends to the sky in one step and becomes the prime minister in one step, the officials may go crazy immediately.

So... how naive Li Bai's political understanding is.

As for why Yue Shan wants to create a department similar to the Military Aircraft Department, he naturally has his own ideas.
