In the palace, the Secretariat, and the courtyard, Yu Wenwen looked at the telephone lines on the telephone poles in the corner. These telephone lines formed a "telephone intranet" of the Secretariat's official office. Many non-confidential matters can be communicated and handled through telephone.

Menxia Province has moved out of the palace due to work needs. Among the three provinces, only the Secretariat of the Secretariat stayed in the palace and served the emperor at any time.

But the Secretariat and the Imperial Palace are always a distance, so Yuwen Wen thought of one thing: In the future, telephone technology will achieve lossless sound quality, can the emperor call the Secretariat and remotely control it?

The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat is in charge of edicts and drafting of government orders. It can be said that it is a secretarial team that drafts official documents (edicts) for the emperor. If the emperor wants to issue an edict, he just needs to say the general idea, and the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat (the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat) will use this to draft edicts.

The edict was confirmed by the emperor and was officially sent to Menxia Province for review. Menxia Province was correct for review and sent to Shangshu Province for execution.

If the emperor wanted to be lazy, he would call the Secretariat directly to the Secretariat, dictate the summary of the edict, and ask the Secretariat's servant to draw the edict, and then show it to the emperor. Although it was a step, it was not much more efficient.

This also adds a risk, that is, the officials of the Secretariat who answered the phone could not confirm the state of the emperor on the other end of the phone.

The person who spoke was the emperor himself? Is the emperor sober? Is the emperor... being held hostage?

Technological progress is not omnipotent, and how to avoid "isolating Chinese and foreign countries" has always been a question that the emperor needs to consider.

People who can "isolate China and foreign countries" are generally close ministers with key tasks. Such close ministers basically serve in the Secretariat or Secretariat type official offices.

The Secretariat of the Secretariat was first found in the Han Dynasty. In order to strengthen the imperial power, the emperor used the Shangshu (secretary) in charge of documents to control the secret policies. Because the Shangshu had to frequently go to the palace, he often held this position as an eunuch.

The eunuch is also called "Zhongshu", so the eunuch who served as the Shangshu was named Zhongshu, abbreviated as Zhongshu. Its chief was named Zhongshu Ling, and its institution was named Zhongshu Jian or Zhongshu Shen.

At the same time, scholars served as Shangshu, whose organization was named Shangshutai and his superior was Shangshuling. After hundreds of years, Shangshutai evolved into Shangshu Province, and Shangshuling became the actual prime minister.

Based on the need for imperial power to suppress prime ministerial power, the Secretariat became a necessary institution to suppress the Secretariat. Those who can serve as the Secretariat or hold real power in the Secretariat will definitely be the trusted minister of the emperor.

The Zhou State implemented the six-official system and did not have the establishment of the Secretariat. However, the Inner History of the Chung government officials, the Secretariat, the Imperial Officer, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, were actually similar to the Chief and Deputy Chief of the Secretariat, the Secretariat.

As a result, when the emperor had an accident in the second year of the Elephant, and the transfer of power coincided with the critical moment, the inner-stories official Zheng Yi and the Imperial Master Liu Fang forged the imperial edict and let the foreign relative Yang Jian take power and take control of the imperial guards.

Whether in this era or "historical", Zheng Yi and Liu Fang's actions directly caused a collapse of the sky and the earth. This shows what serious consequences will be caused when the emperor's confidential ministers have problems and "isolate China and abroad".

Yuwen Wen also knew an example, who was also a close minister of the emperor and was in charge of the Secretariat and "make trouble", which led to a dynasty's end.

During the Cao Wei period, Emperor Ming of Wei Cao Rui was about to die. Because the crown prince Cao Fang was young, he wanted to set up a minister to assist the new king. At the beginning, Cao Rui considered all the royal families.

In order to stabilize the Cao family's country, Cao Rui thought of using his uncle, King Cao Yu of Yan (son of Cao Cao) as the general, with the leading general Xiahou Xian, general Cao Shuang of Wuwei, captain Cao Zhao of the rank of the cavalry, and general Qin Lang of the cavalry (adopted son of Cao Cao) as the auxiliary.

Cao Rui had to rely on the power of his clan relatives to make the young lord Cao Fang reliable assistance, and then the clan members restrained each other.

Cao Rui's confidant Liu Fang and Sun Zi controlled the Secretariat and Cao Zhao and Xiahou Xian were political enemies with the same power. Liu Fang and Sun Zi were confidants of the emperor for many years and acted recklessly and offended many powerful people. Seeing that the backer was about to be lost, he had to find a way out for himself.

They kept making suggestions in front of Cao Rui who could not afford to take a bed. Cao Shuang, who praised him as a fool, was more suitable to be a general than Cao Yu, the King of Yan, and slandered Cao Yu, Cao Zhao, and Xiahou Xian in every way. In order to achieve the so-called checks and balances, they also suggested recalling Sima Yi, who was expeditioning to Liaodong, as a minister of life, to restrain Cao Shuang.

Cao Rui felt that this was inappropriate at first, but he was exhausted when his life was short. Liu Fang and Sun Zi isolated China and abroad. He always advocated Cao Rui's ears that Cao Shuang and Sima Yi's auxiliary political combination were the "best partner".

Cao Rui felt that Cao Shuang seemed a little incompetent. Sima Yi was not someone who could suppress Cao Shuang and his son, and he also wanted to let Yan King Cao Yu be the general.

However, the emperor, who was once powerful, was just a dying patient at this time. Liu Fang and Sun Zi did not stop and directly drafted an edict for Cao Rui, drove Cao Yu, Cao Zhao, and Xiahou Xian out of the palace, and declared Cao Shuang and Sima Yi as ministers of resignation.

There is no need to say much about the history in the future. Every time Yuwen Wen saw this history, he thought about the changes in the two years of the elephant. He did not dare to relax his guard against the Secretariat for a day.

The emperor's confidant was only the emperor himself. When the emperor was still alive, he offended many powerful people for the emperor's hawks and dogs. When the emperor was about to die, his confidants' backers would collapse. They were helpless in the face of the powerful and the noble people's counterattack.

So how these people should seek benefits or retreat for themselves depends entirely on the moral bottom line of their confidants.

Some people choose to leave their will, such as Wang Gui, Yuwen Xiaobo, Yuwen Shenju, etc., whom Emperor Wu Yuwen Yong trusted; some people choose to exchange interests and change their ranks, such as Zheng Yi, the confidant of Emperor Xuan Yuwen Yun, and Liu Fang.

The two pairs of Liu Fang, Sun Zi, Zheng Yi and Liu Fang are completely for themselves, so they interfere with decision-making, forge imperial edicts, and maximize their own interests. As for the consequences of doing so, they are not within their consideration.

Yuwen Wen would never allow history to repeat itself, so even though he knew that most of the officials in the Secretariat were reliable, he did not hope that the other party would be loyal and could withstand the turmoil of the alternating power.

He didn't expect that one day he would lie on the couch and dying, but was isolated from China and abroad. He watched the villains forged imperial edicts in front of him, but he could not move.

Therefore, after "exercising surgery" on the Shangshu Province and Menxia Province, Yuwen Wen reformed the Zhongshu Province.

The Hanlin Academy and the Second Privy Council were established, and the power to make decisions on civil and military affairs was divided into the ministerial power of the Secretariat.

The official in the Hanlin Academy is named "Wenyuan Pavilion", with a certain number of bachelors and a number of bachelors; the official in the Privy Council is named "Wuying Pavilion", with a certain number of bachelors and a number of bachelors.

The two current Secretariat Orders were divided into Hanlin envoys and Privy Councilors, and were in charge of the Hanlin Academy, Privy Councilor, and the power to make decisions on civil and military affairs.

On weekdays, senior officials of the Secretariat and the Grand Secretary of the Two Academies take turns to work in the Secretariat, and they rotate day and night. When the emperor issues an edict, the Grand Secretary of the Two Academies must participate.

In the game between the Secretariat and the Menxia Province, the Grand Secretary of the Two Academies can participate in the debate; in the Political Affairs Hall meeting, the Grand Secretary of the Two Academies can participate, with the right to speak (with permission), and no voting rights.

Whether the emperor is seriously ill and requires officials to serve in the palace, or issue important edicts, such as passing on the throne, setting up a minister of orders, drafting a last edict, etc., the great scholars must participate and testify, and use seals on the edict.

Otherwise, this fate will be a person who is in trouble and forged imperial edicts will be punished by the whole world.

Yuwen Wen set up the Grand Secretary of the Two Academy to participate in the edict making. The decision was to reduce the possibility that someone in the Secretariat "isolate China and foreign countries" from a systematic perspective, and to break down the power of the general, and...
