This is Fengshen, what's the use of hard work

Chapter 14 The Laying Plan, The First Cabinet

"Cough cough!"

"Master Du, where are you going?"

Du Yuanxian turned around suddenly, and suddenly found a mighty general in battle armor standing in front of him.

"Marshal Huang?"

"When did you come to the imperial study?"

Huang Feihu: "...I am always here."

Zishou: "I can testify."

Du Yuanxian: "Am I getting old? My alertness has become so low?"

Zishou smiled.

I'm sorry Grand Master Du, as a great king, I can't ignore an uncle who has made great military achievements twice in a row.

Du Yuanxiao handed over the imperial decree to Huang Feihu suspiciously, apologized, asked Zishou for instructions, and turned to leave.

"Your Majesty, in fact, you didn't notice that I was there, did you?"

Huang Feihu took the imperial decree with resentment on his face, and sighed.

"Hahaha, Marshal Huang, are you kidding me?"

Zishou slapped him haha, and after sending King Wu Cheng away, he was about to practice the wheel of life and death, when he heard the voice of a hale and hearty old man.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to see me!"

"come in."

Zi Shou curled his lips, this old man really is everywhere.

As soon as Zishou finished speaking, he saw an invisible old man walking in holding a stack of half-meter-high folded papers. Who knew that he accidentally tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground.

A stack of booklets scattered all over the floor.

"Oh, my old waist..."

Shang Rong's complexion suddenly turned purple, and he cried while clutching his back.

Zishou: ...

"Hurry up, Doctor Xuan!!"

A quarter of an hour later.

Shang Rong was tied into a rice dumpling, put on a stretcher, and carried out.

On the way to carry away, he kept shouting:
"The veteran is safe, and the veteran can work for another 20 years!"

Zishou sighed, feeling a little guilty.

These years, he has put too much burden on Shang Rong, and he can obviously take care of his life, but as a result, he is mentally weak due to the pressure of work when he is old.

"It's time to hand over the burden."

He picked up a pen, spread out a piece of paper, thought for a moment, and wrote a line on it.

"The first cabinet member of Dashang."

Afterwards, the names of a group of people were randomly written on the paper.

Yabigan, Jizi, Weiziqi, Weiziyan, Boyi, Shuqi, Shangrong, Meibo, Yang Ren, Jiaoge, Zhao Qi, Sun Yin, Fang Tianjue...

Then, Zishou gradually crossed out some inappropriate names, and finally there were six people left.

Bigan, Wei Ziqi, Shang Rong, Mei Bo, Zhao Qi, Wen Zhong.

Now the court is stable, and the civil servants and military generals are all virtuous officials who are famous in later generations.

Zishou has already embarked on the road of practice, and will not waste too much time dealing with the government affairs in the future, but will grasp the direction of the dynasty.

"It's time, Xue Wanli Emperor lay down."

"Lie down, let's start tonight."

That night.

In the central palace, Queen Jiang's bedroom, the lights were kept on all night.

The palace guards are all waiting outside the palace.

The humbling and unbearable movement, from just entering the night, has been thinking about the early morning of the next day.

……

The next day.

Zishou held a thermos cup that was obviously one size bigger, and came to the Nine Halls to make his respects.

As soon as all the civil and military officials gathered together, the official in front of the sub-acceptance hall announced the decree:
"Lonely feeling that the political affairs of the court are chaotic, and now I want to form a cabinet to manage the government."

After the words fell, all civil and military officials were in an uproar.

As the head of civil servants, Shang Rong was the first to stand up.

"Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crimes!"

Zishou:? ?

"As a prime minister, I can't relieve the king's worries, causing the court to be chaotic, and it is a death penalty!"

"Please punish the king!"

Zishou rolled his eyes angrily.

"Gu's will, you didn't even listen to it, so you are going to be punished for offending you?"

"You are not pleading guilty, you are blocking my mouth and making me speechless."

"Prime Minister, do you mean that?"

Shang Rong's back was immediately drenched with sweat, and he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a thud. The bone that was just broken yesterday made a crackling sound...

The screams sounded in the Nine Halls.

"Pass the Imperial Physician!"

Zishou closed his eyes deeply.

Still the same splint, still the same stretcher, still the same imperial doctor...

Shang Rong was soon carried out again.

"see it?"

"What is a cabinet?"

"Why form a cabinet?"

"The reason is simple! I don't want to be like the old prime minister... fighting against the lumbar spine all day long!"

With Shang Rong's accident, no one in the Nine Halls dared to speak anymore.

However, the chaotic words of the government are like a knife hanging over their heads.

All civil and military officials thought they were going to be liquidated!
Shang Rong, the head of the civil servants, is gone, and the civil servants have no hope.

The eyes of all the officials focused on Wen Zhong, the head of the military officials.

Wen Zhong raised his eyelids and glanced at them:
"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Civil and military officials: ...

Old grand master, you are an important minister at any rate, so a little bit of morality is fine.

The decree has not yet been issued.

Is this holy?
Yu Zhong can't be so stupid!
What if the king is going to lay off staff?

Recently, Guotai Minan, the value of their existence is getting lower and lower.

Everyone knew in their hearts that cutting off [-]% of the civil and military officials present would not affect the operation of the empire.

Of course, I thought so in my heart, and no one dared to say it.

After Wen Zhong made his statement,
The cabinet formation regulations, which had been prepared long ago, were also sent to all ministers.

Who knows, the first line of the imperial edict reads:

The holy king hangs down and rules the world.

Since then, the mighty article "Remonstrance Taizong Shisishu" was taken out by the quilt, and slightly changed.

"Gu Wen: Those who seek the elders of trees must consolidate their roots; those who want to flow far must dredge their springs; those who think about the safety of the country must accumulate their virtues and righteousness.

……

Even though Dong Zhi punished him severely and shocked him with might and anger, he was finally spared without being benevolent, courteous but not convinced.

……

In summary, ten thoughts, greatness and nine virtues, let them be simple and capable, choose the good and follow them, then the wise will do their best, and the brave will do their best. "

Zishou knew it in his heart.

In a slavery society, the Human King is the absolute belief of an empire.

They can accept that they are idle, but they cannot accept that the king himself idles himself.

He wants to achieve the formation of a cabinet and lay down completely, and he must deter this group of nobles in terms of thought and speech.

really.

It is worthy of being a famous article of persuasion through the ages.

Even if he changed his face beyond recognition and used it to persuade the officials, it would also have a shocking effect.

"Today Gu forms a cabinet, with Bigan, Wei Ziqi, Shang Rong, Mei Bo, Zhao Qi, and Wen Zhong as the first cabinet ministers to handle state affairs for Gu."

"Do you have any opinions?"

Civil and military officials:? ? ?
The civil and military officials were stunned.

They thought that Zishou had criticized the government, and the next step was to weaken the power of the court. How could it be the other way around, not playing cards according to the routine?
This cabinet system, no matter how you look at it, greatly weakens the power of the emperor.

No, it's not a nerf anymore.

This is... a complete withdrawal of the emperor's rights.

Civil and military officials immediately looked at Wen Zhong.

Could it be that the old grand master knew the news in advance, so he said the king Shengming?
Wen Zhong frowned:? ?
"Your Majesty, I take back what I just said."

"You're trying to pick someone up!"

"The holy king is ruled by the arch, this is the nonsense of those courtiers with ulterior motives who are trying to annex the king's power!"

Zishou slapped me haha.

In the world of conferred gods, there is no practice, so talk about bullshit kingship.

He ignored Wen Zhong, but looked at the civil and military officials.

"What do you guys think?"

All the lovers said in unison: "Your Majesty is Shengming!"

Wen Zhong: "..."

Zishou waved his hand in satisfaction, "Okay, the decree has been made, this cabinet system will start to operate tomorrow. Grand Master, you are the first cabinet minister, don't lose the chain."

Wen Zhong sighed.

Although, he didn't know if the dropped chain was referring to the belt, but it didn't affect his loyalty.

Wen Zhong bowed in salute, cupped his fists and said: "Old minister, obey the order!"
