Chapter 1801

A slight worry appeared in Lu Xiufu's eyes and said, "The emperor...will this prompt the officials in the court to form cliques and make private contributions?"

Zhao Dongting chuckled and shook his head, "The cabinet leaders in various places will have the right to veto the veto as I do. Since no important decree is allowed to be signed by the cabinet, it cannot be distributed."

"this……"

Lu Xiufu said in a daze: "In this way, isn't it necessary for the supervisor to take charge of political affairs in various places?"

"Won't."

Zhao Dongting said: "If a landlord often has to use a veto power, it means he has no prestige. How can he pass the political review?"

Lu Xiufu showed a sudden enlightenment and bowed repeatedly, "The emperor is very proud."

The retired supervisory order Zhang Shijie also hurriedly said: "The emperor is wise and powerful..."

Zhao Dongting was used to these horses and just chuckled.

[Jiujiu Novels    ] Then he said: "In addition to cabinets at all levels, I also intend to give Mingjingtai a new right."

He smiled and looked at Wen Qingshu, the most inconspicuous and humble among the people present. "In the future, I will hold a meeting of Mingjingtai in the Imperial City at the beginning of each year and invite national-level Mingjingjing in the name of the court to participate. These Mingjingjingjing will have the right to appoint and remove important officials in the central cabinet. If anyone is unpopular, Mingjingtai only needs more than four-fifths of the people to vote and can be dismissed."

After saying this, Lu Xiufu, Zhao and Luo all changed their expressions.

If the emperor granted Mingjingtai such rights, it would be of great significance.

This means that in the future, their appointment and removal power will no longer be completely controlled by the emperor, but will be in the hands of those mirrors.

And what does the mirror represent?

It's the people!

This is definitely unprecedented.

In this era when the hierarchy concept is still a bit strict, no one of them, the important officials, had thought that their appointment and removal would be decided by public opinion in the future.

The emperor always values ​​the people, and often the king is the least and the people are the most important. However, he never thought that the emperor would raise the status of the people to this level.

However, Lu Xiufu and others were just silent, and no one objected.

After Zhao Dongting said this, he would most likely make the emperor think that they had a ghost in their hearts.

Of course, this has a lot to do with their clear conscience. For example, the chief officials of various ministries in Changsha were carefully selected by Zhao Dongting, and their loyalty was very high.

Looking at the entire Song Dynasty, there is only one example like Wen Zheyan.

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "If you have no other opinions, then this matter will be settled?"

Lu Xiufu and others all agreed.

Zhao Dongting stood up from the bed and said, "Then I will issue an imperial edict to convey my meaning to all places."

Later, Lu Xiufu and others watched Zhao Dongting ask Zhang Tingen to draft an order in the imperial study.

There is not much difference between the road-level cabinet, the prefecture-level cabinet, the county-level cabinet and the central cabinet. The cabinet members are composed of local officials.

Zhao Dongting is just dispersing the power of the chief official.

After the imperial edict was written, Zhao Dongting handed it to Lu Xiufu directly, saying: "Lu Aiqing, please do the specific establishment of cabinets in various places! After the cabinet is established, the imperial city and the military and political affairs in various places will be decided by the cabinet. It is not a huge matter, and there is no need to ask me for instructions. Just take a look at it before various policies are issued."

In an instant, Lu Xiufu and others looked at Zhao Dongting with a strange look.

They suddenly felt that the emperor suddenly wanted to form a cabinet, afraid that it would be as simple as dispersing the power of the chief official.

The emperor still has to be the boss!

It’s also a blessing that the emperor was able to come up with such a solution.

But they were used to it. After all, Zhao Dongting has always tried not to worry about things that he could not worry about. Apart from the bitter smile in his heart, there was no other way.

With the government order to form a cabinet, it was carried out from the fast horse and passed away from the city to various places, which probably means that the Song Dynasty will enter a new form from then on.

Whether it is good or bad, except for Zhao Dongting who has traveled through time since later generations, I am afraid no one can understand.

However, Wen Qingshu will surely become a popular figure in the entire Song Dynasty.

In the past, Mingjingtai only had a supervisory position, but now it has appointment and removal position. It seems similar, but in fact it is a world of difference.

Even though Mingjingtai where Wen Qingshu is on duty is not a yamen, I believe no one will underestimate her anymore.

However, Wen Qingshu, a talented female, was so valued by the emperor in a short period of time because of organizing donations, which may make many people feel moved.

...

Changsha City was extremely lively during the imperial examination.

At this time, the news of the establishment of a cabinet was posted on the list, which attracted many people to watch.

This quickly became the hottest topic in Changsha City.

After the students who took the exam at Yuelu Academy were having a lot of discussion when they heard the news.

They are the top scholars among scholars, and they should be better aware of what impact the emperor's new policy of forming a cabinet would have on the Song Dynasty than ordinary people.

From now on, it is probably not so easy to be an official in the Song Dynasty. To be precise, it should be that corrupt officials are not so easy to be an official.
