Chapter 802: Cabinet


"If you say it's a request for advice, then it's a request for advice."

"Since it's a request for advice, you have to be a little sincere, so let's drink three more cups in a row, and I'll tell you why" Li Mu didn't hesitate, and drank three cups in a row, "You can talk about it."

"Actually, it's very simple, a monarch can never be single-minded.

Li Mu was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?"

"If the monarch and the minister are single-minded, how can the king come, what is the minister" Li Mu shook his head and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"You have been fighting with me for many years, and the martial arts under your command are all aiming to support you to ascend the throne, so they are naturally of the same heart with you.

But today, when you ascend the throne and your goal is achieved, everything will return to its original place, and the monarch and the minister will naturally oppose each other. ” Li Mu seemed to have some comprehension, he frowned and said, "You mean to say that they came together just to limit the imperial power" Li Shimin nodded slightly, he was surprised by Li Mu's quick response.

"Whether they are loyal to you or to me, they have only one identity in their bones, and that is courtiers.

Now you win, I lose.

The courtiers have no distinction between friend and foe, and they are ministers in the same hall, so they naturally gather together again, and they have only one enemy, that is, the emperor, that is, you. ” Li Mu understood, and Li Shimin made sense.

"Then do you have a way to deal with them?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "If there is, how can I lose, but today, I can teach you a lesson." ” "Please."

"Defend them like thieves."

"Ugh."

Li Mu was a little stunned, "It's not good."

"Listen to you or not."

Li Shimin pushed the cup, "Don't drink it, this wine is too bitter for me." ” Li Mu also understood, stood up and said, "Da'an Palace is expanding very quickly, maybe you will be more comfortable when you leave here and go to Da'an Palace." ” Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "It's all the same, if you agree, I would prefer to go to Luoyang." ” Li Mu hesitated, shook his head and said, "No."

At least not yet. ” "You're afraid I'll rebel."

"Nope.

Since I can defeat you when you are the emperor, I am not afraid of rebellion after your abdication. ” "Then what are you worried about, if I want to rebel, why bother with Zen" "My fear is that if someone rebels in your name, it will cause misery to all the people in the world."

After speaking, Li Mu left.

Li Shimin looked at Li Mu's back in a daze and stood for a long, long time. 。

The next day, the pilgrimage meeting.

Before the court meeting began, the ceremonial officials read out the support of the express delivery of the Tang states one by one.

After that, Li Mu promulgated the second decree after ascending the throne.

The posthumous prince was the Great Shengwen Emperor, the temple name was Taizong, and he was reburied in Zhaoling.

Canonized the hidden princess Zheng Guanyin as the queen mother.

Posthumously sealed the biological mother Shen Yu as the Queen Mother of the Virgin Mary and was buried in Zhaoling.

Canonized Li Wanshun as the eldest princess of Huiji, Li Xiulin as the eldest princess of Lishui, and Li Yun as the eldest princess of Yongjia.

The Chancellor has no objection to this.

Posthumously sealing one's parents is the proper rite of one's son.

Thus, the Great Pilgrimage began.

One by one, the courtiers presented domestic affairs to Li Mu.

A whole morning passed, and Li Mu didn't even react to what these ministers were going to do for themselves It's not so much a performance as an informant.

For example, the Imperial Historical Observatory impeached the county order of a certain county in a certain prefecture and perverted the law for corruption, and recommended that the criminal department arrest and ask for the guilty.

This kind of thing actually has to be decided by an emperor, whether he should be arrested and questioned.

For example, in Shangshu Province, a certain state and a county suffered a fire, and some people were displaced and needed relief from the imperial court.

This kind of thing actually requires an emperor to decide, whether it should be disaster relief or not.

Li Mu yawned, this was his first official day at work.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's get down to business.

Okay" I finally don't have to wear the crown today, although it is still the crown of the Son of Heaven, it is extremely heavy and cumbersome, especially the ribbon on the body makes Li Mu uncomfortable, but after all, I don't need to wear the crown of pearls, it is much easier.

When Li Mu leaned forward and stretched out his head to ask the ministers below, hundreds of civil and military officers knelt down to apologize and said, "The ministers are guilty." ” Li Mu was speechless, retracted his body, and said: "The three provinces and six departments of the imperial court, what do they do to eat, what do Jiuqing do to eat, and what are the local officials doing, a county order, a county is suffering from a fire, such a trivial matter, it also requires me to waste time in this big court meeting, although Liaodong is victorious, it is far from the point of purging the rebellion."

Should we discuss, how to end the war in Liaodong as soon as possible, the division of the class, the garrison that should be stationed, or whether the tax reform should be implemented in the whole territory of Datang?"

"The ministers are guilty."

It's like it was discussed in advance, and that's what the ministers of the palace said.

Li Mu got up and said, "It's all gone, the dynasty will change to tomorrow."

Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou, Han Zhongliang, Cen Wenwen, and Chu Suiliang came to see me in the Ganlu Palace. ” After saying that, he got up and left. 。

In the Temple of Manna.

Li Mu glared at the five people, "I want to build a cabinet." ” Wei Zheng and the others were stunned for a moment, and Wei Zheng asked, "What is the cabinet?"

Li Mu said: "The three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia and Shangshu are combined into one. ” As soon as these words came out, the faces of the five people changed greatly.

They naturally understand the relationship between the interests of the three provinces, which is equivalent to the loss of the official positions of the two provinces.

This is in the interest of many people.

Wei Zheng advised: "Your Majesty, the establishment of the system of three provinces and six ministries can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. ” "Wei Yushi, I don't want to listen to your class, and don't talk to me about the ancestral system and conventions, I just ask, I want to build a cabinet, and the public branches don't support it" All five were silent.

Li Mu began to name names, and the first thing he called was Han Zhongliang, because Han Zhongliang would become his father-in-law.

With this kind of relationship, you should be able to get support.

"Han Shangshu, what do you think?"

Han Zhongliang looked left and right, bowed down and said, "The minister is only from His Majesty's orders." ” Li Mu clicked on the Cen text again, because the Cen text should be regarded as a "subordinate".

If he wanted to gain a foothold in the court, he had to rely on the emperor's support for him.

"Cen Shizhong, what do you think?"

Cen Wenwen didn't look at the others, he hesitated for a moment and said, "The minister wants to ask Your Majesty what official positions are in the cabinet."

Li Mu replied: "There is one first assistant and six auxiliary ministers, a total of seven. ” The four were even more surprised by these words.

Nowadays, in each province, there is at least one principal and two deputies, and there are two servants on the left and right in Shangshu Province, and the total of the three provinces is four chief officials and six adjutants.

In other words, from the point of view of the chief officer alone, the number of chief officers has been reduced by three times.

Cen Wenwen continued to ask: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, where did the first assistant and the auxiliary minister come from?"

Li Mu replied: "In addition to the first assistant appointed by me, four of the six auxiliary ministers are concurrently served by the four Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Criminal Department, and the Ministry of Industry, and the other two are recommended by the six Shangshu of the Great Dynasty Association, and they can be approved by me." ”:
