Zhang Chao sat on the lower head to the right of the prince. He listened to Cheng Qian's words and felt a trace of extremely bad signs.

The prince was young and had already begun to think about balancing. He had already discussed things, but now Chengqian wanted to ask Changsun Wuji like this.

"Ahem!"

Zhang Chao coughed twice.

Cheng Qian's expression changed slightly, and the smile on his face became stiffer.

Zhang Chao did not intend to give in to important matters like forming a cabinet. Now that he took a step back, Changsun Wuji would be more aggressive in the future. Then he would have to argue about everything in the future, and all his energy would be spent in internal strife, so it would be impossible to do things.

Although the war has subsided, there are still too many things to do.

The court should quickly rescue the affected people in the south.

If economic production that has been damaged in various places is restored, the court must let all places settle warehouses and release grain to stabilize prices. It must open the four major silvers in various places as soon as possible and release new banknotes.

Some inappropriate laws are to be abolished.

Parliament in various places must be rebuilt.

With so many things going on, Zhang Chao has no time to argue with Changsun Wuji here.

"Changsun Prime Minister, Fang, everyone, we can work together today, instead of fighting between the two armies under the Hanjing city. This means that we are all with the desire to seek common ground while reserving differences and with the desire to defend the Tang Dynasty. I thought that the dispute should be ended as soon as possible and not to have confrontation. Let the court center run as soon as possible and restore order to the world is the most urgent task."

Changsun Wuji sneered.

"Since you say you want to resume the central operation as soon as possible, why bother with this?"

Ma Zhou stood up and spoke for Zhang Chao, "The system in the past was still flawed, and the cabinet system was also tried before, and the effect was very good."

Changsun Wuji, alone, sneered at several people without any backing down.

Cheng Qian sat there and watched.

Fang Xuanling had not spoken and had to stand up at this time.

Otherwise, it would be no solution to both sides like this.

"Your Highness, I agree with the proposal of King Zhao of Anguo and support your highness's decision. The court can be changed to a cabinet and parliamentary system!"

Changsun Wuji turned his head and glared at Fang Xuanling.

He felt that Fang Xuanling betrayed him at the critical moment.

But Zhang Chao just looked up at Cheng Qian.

Cheng Qian said, "Since Fangxi also supports it, then this matter will be decided."

"Next, let's discuss the personnel adjustments of the six ministries and the Zhushishujians."

Changsun Wuji was severely frustrated and sat there angrily.

In the subsequent personnel adjustments of the central government office of the imperial court, Changsun Wuji was no longer interested in fighting. Without Fang Xuanling's support, he could not compete.

After various personnel agreements, Changsun Wuji stood up and spoke again.

"I think that there is no war now, so the recruited soldiers should be returned to the countryside as soon as possible. A large number of soldiers gathered, and the military expenditure was high, which could easily cause trouble."

Just now.

Zhang Chao took the lead in fighting for personnel appointments in various positions in the military.

Privy Councilor, Minister of War, Grand Commander of the Five Armies, General General of the North and South Yamen, and a newly established Navy Commander.

Zhang Chao did not immediately propose to reform the military system. This can be put until the prince ascended the throne and set up important positions in the military first.

Qu Tutong was demoted to the deputy Privy Councilor, and Li Ji was demoted to the Minister of War. Generals such as Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan, and Duan Zhixuan were also demoted to the deputy Privy Councilor or the Minister of War.

As for the commander of the North and South Yas, the commander of the Five Armies, and the newly established Navy Commander, Zhang Chao chose his own people.

It is much easier to occupy the upper peak first, and then change the military system.

Now Changsun Wuji proposes to disband the soldiers brought by Zhang Chao, how could Zhang Chao agree?

"I think the army should be reorganized." Zhang Chao also proposed one.

The reorganization is actually the army of the North and South Yamen that annexed the capital.

The emperor had just passed the cabinet formation, so the two squads of prime ministers sitting here are actually only nine prime ministers left in the cabinet. The rest will either enter the Hanlin, the Censorate, the Dali Temple, or the Parliament, or become officials of the Privy Council and various ministries under the cabinet.

Under the new cabinet system, Zhang Chao is actually equivalent to combining the power of the three provincial governors in the past. Sun Wuji, the assistant minister, had no power to fight against Zhang Chao.

Even the second prime minister cannot compete with the prime minister, let alone assist the prime minister.

The difference in power between the Prime Minister and other ministers is reflected in the fact that Zhang Chao, as the Prime Minister, has the right to vote.

This is similar to the later Standing Committee meetings, where Zhang Chao was the squad leader, while the other Standing Committee members were far behind.

The power of the vote is to send memorials from various departments and local governments of the court to the cabinet first. Prime Minister Zhang Chao summoned all ministers to discuss, and finally Prime Minister Zhang Chao was responsible for giving disposal opinions. This vote is actually an imperial criticism made by the emperor on his behalf for adoption.

With the assistance of the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, the emperor made the final reply to the memorials given to the cabinet. In most cases, the decision to adopt the cabinet's bill was definitely adopted. Among the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, there was also a bachelor who was responsible for writing and approving the money, which was the Hanlin President, and other bachelors were about the same as other prime ministers and gave opinions.

But the Hanlin President criticized the people on behalf of others, and the power to criticize the people was in the hands of the emperor.

Therefore, the emperor is the highest power, and the cabinet prime minister is the host of the daily operation of the court.

The power of the cabinet prime minister is ultimately reflected in the emperor's adoption of the vote.

How could Chengqian not accept Zhang Chao’s vote at the moment?

It turned out that the triathlon system of Li Shimin was a decentralized system, and the central power was relatively scattered. Now, the cabinet prime minister's vote system is more meticulous and thoughtful than when assisting the monarch in handling government affairs.

The central power belongs to the cabinet, and the cabinet power belongs to the chief minister.

Another biggest advantage of this system is that it doesn’t matter if the emperor is not diligent or even smart. There is a cabinet outside and a Hanlin Academy inside.

The emperor is free and the ministers are working hard, and even if the emperor does not do any serious work, the court can still operate normally.

If the emperor is more wise and capable, the power of the cabinet will become weaker. If the emperor does not care about political affairs, then the actual government affairs will be decided by the cabinet.

Complement each other.

However, compared with the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet in the Tang Dynasty had only half of the power to refute, and the upper house of the parliament also obtained the power to refute. There were more checks and balances for the cabinet.

However, the Privy Council is under the command of the cabinet, and the emperor is the supreme commander of the army, but the cabinet also has great jurisdiction.

It turned out that Li Shimin's tri-cameras system was divided into power.

The most important decision was at the joint meeting of the Three Houses of the Imperial Households. The twenty-seven prime ministers of the Three Houses, except those who were not in Beijing, were all members of the group to discuss politics, and then the emperor made a decision.

The emperor was quite tired of this system and made a decision by himself.

Now, Prime Minister Zhang Chao first makes decisions and suggestions on behalf of the emperor.

It can also be discussed with the emperor and the ministers.

Undoubtedly, Zhang Chao, who has received Chengqian's support, is indeed invincible now. Changsun Wuji, a supplementary minister, will not affect the cabinet's decisions at all unless he receives the support of most prime ministers.

The Nine Prime Ministers of the Cabinet, Chu Suiliang, Cen Wenben, Yu Zhining, and Yang Shidao were all Zhang Chao's people. Changsun Wuji was at most supported by Fang Xuanling, Du Yan and Dai Zhou. He could not account for the majority of them, five to four.

Changsun Wuji is very popular.

But in this ghost cabinet, there is nothing we can do about it.

The cabinet is no longer as good as the former subordinates of the Secretariat. In the past, the Secretariat did not have the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. Now, the cabinet directly commands the Privy Council.

The cabinet also has the power to make decisions over the military.

Zhang Chao opposed Changsun Wuji's proposal to disband the Southern Army, and proposed to reorganize the Jingji Army. The Minister of Sui Chen Wenben, Chu Suiliang, Yang Shidao, and Yu Zhining immediately expressed their support.

Fang Xuanling spoke out for support very calmly.

So, even the second minister supported it, and there were two people in the cabinet that did not make any statement.

There was no need for those two people to express their opinions, and Cheng Qian also knew the attitude of the cabinet.

"Then the cabinet will come up with a reorganized charter." Cheng Qian said.

The cabinet made a decision that the emperor had the final veto power, and the upper house of the parliament also had the right to refute. But will the emperor oppose Zhang Chao now?

The newly appointed president of the House of Parliament is Zhang Chao's in-law Wei Zheng. Moreover, Wei Zheng has always been a bit old-fashioned and not the right people.

It is impossible to persuade him to ask the Academy of Sciences to reorganize the Gyeonggi army in the cabinet.

The first meeting ended here.

On that day, in the name of Emperor Li Shimin, he ordered the world.

The center was reorganized, the cabinet was established, and the power to vote was granted, nine cabinet prime ministers were appointed, and Zhang Chao was appointed as prime minister and Fang Xuanling was appointed as auxiliary minister. The Hanlin Academy was established, and the Hanlin Academy was granted the right to approve the redemption. Nine Hanlin Bachelors were also appointed, among which Ma Zhou was appointed as the Hanlin Bachelor's Imperial and became the President of Hanlin.

Reset the parliament.

Wei Zheng became the president of the Upper House. The Upper House has six MPs, each with nine MPs, and holds the power to impeach the governor and refute it.

Yu Wenshi and served as the President of the House of Commons, who also have the right to supervise impeachment.

The officials in the Central Committee are appointed once every five years and are re-elected for up to two terms.

Behind them are important personnel adjustments for the six central ministries, Privy Council, Censorate and other departments.

Major personnel adjustments in the capital.

After this edict, the emperor issued an edict to abdicate his abdication. From then on, the emperor abdicated as the Supreme Emperor, and the prince of the governor Cheng Qian succeeded the throne.
