In the morning, Li Li stayed in bed and couldn't get up. Huang Gui was unhappy: It was early in the morning, and he had to go through it once, but he still wanted it.

Seeing that Li Li started to be dishonest again, Huang Ying was so angry that he reached out to pull Li Li's ear:

"Seven years, seven years! You have been the emperor for only seven years, so you have been lazy?"

Li Li didn't really want to "want", it was just teasing, and his hands became restless, so Huang Yan had to change his way:

"Sanlang, you can't empty your body and hurt your vitality. This is not a life-threatening battle."

This trick worked. Li Li hugged his first wife and stopped touching her randomly, but instead complained:

"War is a waste. Don't look at the government army's ability to kill the Turks this time, the savings of two years have almost been emptied."

"The cavalry attacks, and it is necessary to prepare horses. If there are more horses, and winter, it consumes a lot. Is this the reason?" Huang Yan asked, and seeing that Li Li's attention was successfully diverted, he quickly got up and put on his clothes.

I went tossed all night, and in the morning, and no one could bear it if this continued.

Especially the day before yesterday, Zhang Cairen served Li Li to take a bath, but the two of them had tossed in the room for more than an hour, and the water was everywhere, and the room was in a mess, which made Huang Yan very worried that Li Li's body would not bear it.

Speaking of war, Li Li's attention was indeed diverted and he said to himself:

"Yes, there are so many horses, the weather is cold and there are not many weeds in the fields. They can't just eat weeds."

"Eating wild grass is equivalent to drinking porridge for horses, and it will not starve to death, but it will not be able to do heavy physical work."

"Also, a large number of cavalry marching in concentrated areas, and the grass along the way was gnawed by the horses in front. The horses in the subsequent team had no food, so they could only transport the forage by logistics."

"The logistics trucks that transport fodders are also pulled by horses. These horses also have to eat, and their consumption is layered, and the logistics burden doubles upward..."

Taking advantage of Li Li's complaint, Huang Yan had already finished changing clothes, but seeing that Li Li refused to get up, she asked, "What's wrong? Can't I get up to review the memorial?"

"I'm thinking of a question." Li Li held his head with his hands and continued to lie on the bed. Huang Yan had no choice but to listen.

"Can the next generation bear the efficient and high-intensity central decision-making system based on the ability and energy state of founding monarchs? "

Huang Gui felt aroused when he heard this: "What does Sanlang mean?"

"I can review memorials every day, constantly receive officials from various departments, assign tasks, and supervise work, and be busy from morning to night, and enjoy it."

"I can control myself and build various palaces, imperial gardens, pavilions and towers to please myself and the concubines in the harem."

"I can devote myself to state affairs, work overtime when I get up early and work late, don't travel around, eat, drink and have fun, and become an overtime madman, but can my descendants do it?"

"They can't do it." Li Li asked and answered himself. This answer was based on human nature.

"A business keeper will sooner or later forget the hardships of entrepreneurs and think that their current situation is natural, and do not know how to cherish, but only know how to enjoy."

"They cannot become overtime madmen who review memorials, holding power in their hands and enjoying power, but not necessarily willing to bear the large amount of responsibilities brought by power."

"Don't believe it, it's not easy to be an emperor." Li Li looked at Huang Gui with a serious look: "The founding emperor has seen strong winds and waves and dealt with bureaucrats. He is very capable of dealing with the bureaucrats, but what about his descendants?"

"You must know that the inheritance of the throne is only in one family. It is difficult to have talents among the sons of the head of the family. They are more ordinary people with ordinary qualifications. Who are they facing?"

"The bureaucratic group of dynasties is so large that the civil and military officials who fought in the officialdom or battlefield and reached high positions are all the elites of the human spirit."

"How much pressure is heirs selected from the sons of the family head, facing such a talented person and a huge bureaucratic group?"

Huang Yan subconsciously replied: "It should be very big. He doesn't know who can use it or how to use it among these officials, and he cannot judge who is loyal and who is traitorous."

Li Li nodded: "Yes, adults will find it difficult to bear this kind of pressure, let alone minors? And in a dynasty, the chance of a young emperor is not low."

"Then, these young emperors must rely on the most reliable people in their consciousness, such as their parents' uncles, or playmates who have grown up with them."

"Let these people fight against the bureaucrats of the foreign court, let these people deal with those people, let these people deal with all their worries, and he will enjoy all the benefits of the imperial power without worry."

"The young emperor Gao Wei of Qi State is this kind of virtue." Li Li changed his tone and turned to current affairs: "After he ascended the throne, he only cared about eating, drinking and having fun, and handed over the power to his father's confidant, his mother's mistress and his Shikai."

"He doesn't care if the government is in chaos by the military service. Anyway, he is not disturbed by the government. It is the most important thing to live happily with all his heart."

"He did not take the advice from the minister seriously, because he believed in the words and loyalty of the people around him."

"In his eyes, these trusted people who have grown up with him, are the most reliable. What others say is nothing more than alarmist and ulterior motives."

"So, when Zhao County Prince Gao Rui advised him, hoping to transfer the treacherous ministers and scholars from the center, but in his eyes, the people who advocated transferring Heshikai were the treacherous ministers."

"He Shikai is a loyal minister who works hard and can be a worry-free emperor, just eat, drink and have fun."

Speaking of this, Li Li sat up and Huang Yan quickly changed his clothes.

"He Shikai has been killed by the Emperor Jinyang Wuxun of Qi State. He is responsible for the loss of He Shikai's head, and apologizes for He Shikai's head. Then what?"

"He Shikai was the confidant of the late emperor Qiandi. He died. Now, since the Qiandi period, he has been with Gao Wei's confidant Han Changluan, and replaced him and became the agent of the imperial power."

"After leaving, a Heshikai, and a Han Changluan came. Isn't this just changing the soup or the medicine? When the young emperor came to the court, such a result would inevitably occur."

"After that being said, no matter how diligent I work and how hard I work, the dynasty and decision-making system I have established must be based on the emperor as the core of operation."

"In the future, I met a strange successor and a Shaodi. Now this system is over, and then the dynasty will be changed."

Huang Gui stopped his hand that buttoned Li Li's clothes and looked at him: "This cannot be a reason for Sanlang to be careless."

"Look at you, you are not obsessed with the appearance. I am not negligent in my administration. It is useless to just be diligent in the monarch. I think system construction is more important."

"Institutional construction is a major event that I really want to care about. The purpose is of course to ensure that descendants with mediocre qualifications, or young descendants, can sit firmly after they get into the position."

Li Li said and laughed: "During my expedition, the prince was in charge of the country, but in fact, the implementation of state affairs and government affairs is mainly decided by the eight Secretariat meetings. Wouldn't it be a good job?"

"The appointment, removal, promotion, and coordination of many matters of general grade officials are carried out in an orderly manner. It is not that the state machine will stop if there is a lack of someone."

The Eight Secretaries, which began in the Han Dynasty, refer to the Shangshu Ling (Shangshu High Officials), the Shangshu Pushe (Shangshu Second Officials), and the Shangshu Six (Cao) Shangshu. There are eight people in total, called "Eight Secrets".

Time passed, and in the Xiaoliang period, eight Shangshu were the Shangshu left and right Pushe, and the Six (Cao) Shangshu.

The Shangshu Ling was a false position in order to hold a name and had no power. The affairs of the Shangshu Provincial Department were divided into the left and right servants of the Shangshu Provincial Department. This was the weakening of the imperial power over the prime minister's power, and the independent minister and the emergence of the power minister should be avoided as much as possible.

The State of Chu also had eight ministers, who were the Minister of Shang and the Minister of the Left and Right Pushe and the Six Ministers, continuing the eight ministers of the previous dynasty's deliberation system, but they were granted more power, the frequency of meetings increased, and the content and scope of deliberation increased.

Huang Yan replied: "That's only temporary. For a long time, people only know that eight political leaders will be born, and the sacrifice will be made by the emperor..."

Li Li asked back: "What's the problem with this? Imperial power and prime minister's power are both contradictions and symbiosis."

"Because the emperor could not interfere in all matters at all times, and to maintain the operation of the entire country alone."

"He needs a bureaucratic group to share administrative functions, and taking charge of the bureaucratic system requires centralization of power in the prime minister."

"This is the relationship between imperial power and ministerial power, which is contradictory and symbiosis, and always coexist in some form to achieve a balance."

"It's just that once the balance fails, it will lead to a conflict breaking out and then a new balance will be formed."

"If the imperial power needs to be strengthened, it will inevitably weaken the power of the prime minister, but the administration always needs someone to do it, someone to take charge of it, and what should I do? Of course, it is to divide the power of the prime minister."

"First turn the Shangshu Ling into a false position, divide it into the Shangshu left and right servants, turn the prime minister's power controlled by one person into the prime minister's power controlled by two persons, and lead the rule of the various cadres (departments) of the Shangshu Province together."

"Then when governing, the Six Ministers of Cao were brought in for a meeting, make collective decisions, and further dilute the power of the prime minister."

"From the beginning of the unique phase, it becomes the dual phase, and then further becomes the group phase, avoiding the emergence of the unique phase and the powerful phase, but also maintaining the normal operation of the Shangshu Province."

"Then, the military power was stripped away, and the Secretariat became the government executive institution of the civil service system. Even if there was a Ministry of War, it only managed the general military and political affairs, and could not manage the military personnel."

"In this way, the threat of prime minister's power to imperial power has been greatly reduced." Li Li made a summary, "This is the result of the efforts of emperors of all dynasties over the past few hundred years. It is not my imagination to constantly weaken prime minister's power."

"So, I think on this basis, we can strengthen the system of eight ministers' discussions, hold meetings to vote on the topics, and assume more administrative functions."

"When the emperor is negligent in his administration, at least the Secretariat can maintain normal governance and not abandon state affairs. Of course, how can the Secretariat and the Menxia Province strengthen institutional guarantees? It is another matter."

Of course, Huang Yan understood this truth and continued to help Li Li tie his clothes buttons and asked: "What should eight people do if they vote on something and a four-to-four deadlock is formed?"

Li Li replied: "The group coordinates, makes decisions and votes in relation to the administration, and needs a leader to make the final decision. Therefore, the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty Zuo Pushe can be the prime minister. When voting, the other Secretary of the Shang Dynasty has one vote, and he has two votes."

Huang Gui asked again: "In this way, the Secretary Zuo Pushe will have the possibility of becoming the Prime Minister of Power. He can defeat the other eight Secretary of the Secretary one by one and plant his own people..."

"Then, I will let the eight ministers implement a term system, such as changing every four years, and having to step down upon expiration, and I will not be re-elected, including the minister Zuo Pushe." Li Li smiled.

"I have an idea that each candidate of the eight ministers, including the minister Zuo Pushe, will be nominated by a special agency according to the corresponding rules, and then convene a specific qualification bureaucratic group to vote and elect the candidates."

"Canses who receive more votes will automatically obtain the qualification of eight ministers. After the emperor recognizes them, they will take office with drums and drums, and start their four-year term..."

Huang Gui felt unbelievable: "How can this work? Let the bureaucrats decide on the candidates for the eight ministers on their own, and have a four-year term. Isn't this a mess?"

"In order to fight for position, officials will form cliques, exclusion and fighting each other, and sooner or later there will be party struggles. This will happen to a big deal!"

"The emperor has no right to decide on the candidates for the eight ministers, so he can only passively recognize them? What is the difference between this and being undermined?"

"Eight ministers, each of which is once every four years and cannot be re-elected. Where does the national policy come from?"

Li Li smiled when he heard this: "I'm just asking for a concept. You can analyze and improve specific matters."

"The four-year term is not appropriate, and it can be appropriately extended. Five years or six years can be considered."

"The emperor can rely on the Censorate to supervise, beat up the eight ministers, and even impeach, dismiss, and choose another according to the rules. Of course, there must be a set of rules."

"As for party struggles, it is indeed a problem. Once officials form cliques and fight each other, it is not right for people, then..."

Li Li scratched his head. Of course, he did not make any temporary intentions, but thought about it carefully. Once officials formed factions and vicious competition, they would lead to party struggles that would lead to loss of control and would indeed ruin the country.

"I think the corresponding institutional constraints may have error correction effects." Li Li still thinks this idea is feasible. Of course, everything must be based on reality.

The current situation of reality, including politics, economy, culture and science and technology, should be appropriately improved on the basis of reality.

Instead of being whimsical, you can directly "transplant" the political system of later generations. Being half a step ahead of the times is a genius, and one step ahead is a madman.

"This, this is too..." Huang Yan still couldn't accept such a strange idea. Li Li smiled and suddenly put away his smile:

"This is the two peaches killing three scholars, and the power to elect eight ministers is transferred to the bureaucratic group, so that they will begin to divide internally while assisting the emperor in managing the country."
