It's late at night.
The snow remains.
The plum garden is brightly lit and the dog meat is fragrant.
Xiao Baozi still couldn't wait for Li Chenan to come back.
She sighed slightly, and suddenly realized that finding a capable man was not a good thing.
She secretly rejoiced that he was not the emperor, and that he had to go to Shuzhou to pick up the eldest son of the emperor and become the emperor.
What is he busy with now?
Don't tire yourself out!
…
At this moment, Li Chenan is still in the imperial study room.
Now there are not only Nian Chengfeng and Wen Boiyu in the imperial study room, Li Chenan also invited six ministers.
He talked from morning till night. Everyone, including Nian Chengfeng and Wen Boiyu, were already stunned by Li Chenan's words!
Eunuch Chang, who is responsible for recording, has written down a thick stack of paper.
His hands were sore, but he did not stop writing.
He knew that this was the beginning of a new change. Although he did not understand its profound meaning, he could guess that if these things were implemented, Ningguo would be different from the past and from all countries in the world!
He was afraid of missing a word.
Li Chen settled for a moment and continued:
"The purpose of the structural reform of the entire imperial court is to check and balance power!"
"So I designed an organizational structure with three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five prisons... There will no longer be a prime minister, because the prime minister alone has too much power!"
"And absolute power will breed absolute corruption!"
"For example, there will be another Ji Tai!"
"The three provinces are Menxia Province, Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province."
"The highest official in the Menxia Province is the Menxia Shizhong, who is of the second rank. There are two ministers under the Menxia, who are the third rank..."
"The province under the clan is responsible for accepting the emperor's orders, sealing and refuting imperial edicts, and is the highest government order review organ!"
"The highest official in the Zhongshu Province is Zhongshu Ling, the second rank, and under him are two ministers of Zhongshu, the third rank..."
"Zhongshu Sheng is in charge of the military and state affairs, drafts edicts, and submits state orders to the government agencies."
"..."
"The Shangshu Province has six ministries under it. It serves as the prime minister for national affairs and is the executive organ for national decrees!"
"To put it simply, if the country decides to do something, the Zhongshu Province will first make the decision, and then submit it to the Menxia Province for review. After the review is passed, the Shangshu Province will arrange the corresponding departments to implement it."
"..."
"I know these words of mine may subvert your cognition."
"But I believe that if you can understand it thoroughly and actually do it, then Ningguo's future will be bright!"
Li Chenan's eyes swept across the confused faces of everyone, and he sighed slightly in his heart. After all, he was too hasty!
There are many things that I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
But I am really anxious!
We must set off to Shuzhou!
Of course, such a change cannot be said to be subtle, it is simply a thunderstorm!
If implemented, it will surely affect the interests of many people.
Just like this heavy snow, it will destroy everything in the past——
Whether it is those old ideas, etiquette, teachings, etc., they will be annihilated!
But as Wen Boiyu said, if you are seriously ill, you should use strong medicine!
Li Chenan didn't want to become another Wang Mang. He made these subversive remarks after careful consideration.
Now the original order of Ningguo has been disrupted.
Except for those officials in Ji Tai's line who have not yet been cleared up in various places, all senior officials above the temple have been conferred, so the resistance to change no longer exists.
He, Li Chenan, is not only a poet in the hearts of the people of Ningguo, he is also the eldest son of the emperor, the savior, and a light in Ningguo!
No matter how big the changes he makes, as long as these changes are beneficial to the country and the people, they will definitely be implemented.
Because now Ningguo is like a blank piece of paper.
He can freely write his own poems on this white paper.
It's just that Wen Boyu never expected that what Li Chenan would write down with just a few strokes of ink would turn out to be a magnificent long scroll!
Replace the rule of man with the rule of law!
Even the imperial power is placed under the constitution!
If it can be realized, the supreme imperial power that has been the Ninth Five-Year Plan for thousands of years will be locked in a cage from now on!
The emperor can no longer keep his word!
The emperor's idea must also be discussed by the three provinces!
Then the emperor's existence... seems to have more symbolic significance than actual significance!
Even the emperor no longer has that supreme power, what can the ministers at all levels below say?
Of course their rights will also be subject to the law!
In this way, all rights are placed within the framework of the law.
No one can go beyond the rules of the law!
Therefore, instead of Li Chenan ascending the throne as emperor, he is willing to take back the eldest son of the emperor to become emperor... This kid originally had this idea——
These policies were formulated by Li Chenan and were established before the emperor's eldest son came back to ascend the throne.
If the eldest son of the emperor wants to sit on the throne, he may have no choice but to accept it.
Then it no longer matters who becomes the emperor.
The important thing is that this law can be established, known to the world, and truly implemented!
This is the basis for what Li Chenan said and explained so much!
Li Chenan said that people will make mistakes.
The hope of a country or a nation must never be pinned on one person!
Otherwise, it will only bring endless disasters!
This is a great thing to say!
Every dynasty established a country and gave birth to wise kings, so the people's lives became easier.
But if you encounter a foolish king and war breaks out, the people will be destitute or even the country will be destroyed, this will be a tragedy.
Millions of people live and die because of one person... Why?
Li Chenan talked all day. His intention was to avoid such a situation and to create an immortal dynasty with long-term peace and stability!
This is an unprecedented and great initiative!
Wen Boyu was the quickest to understand Li Chenan's intention.
He looked up at Li Chenan. It was hard for him to believe how this eighteen-year-old boy could conceive of such an almost perfect social system of mutual constraints.
Senior brother has been thinking about this problem for his entire life and has yet to come up with a good solution.
I have traveled around the world for most of my life, also in order to find a solution to this problem, but I failed to find it in the end.
But now, Li Chenan is really like a light shining in the dark night, allowing him to see the originally confused way forward!
Could it be that this kid has been pretending to be stupid in Guangling City for seventeen years, but in fact he has been thinking about these issues?
Now that his thinking has matured, it manifested itself at the right time?
No wonder the senior brother changed his plan to completely overthrow Ning Guo, and instead wanted to eradicate those old evil forces and support Li Chenan to take power.
Senior brother is really bad!
But senior brother’s vision is really poisonous!
It's a pity that this kid has to leave in a hurry, so he and these ministers will have to complete this arduous task together.
The road is as difficult as thorns everywhere.
But if you can walk through the thorns and thorns... you may be able to see more wonderful scenery.
He picked up the teacup and opened his mouth:
"I recognize the regent's ideas and this series of initiatives."
"It's just that these ideas and measures may be difficult for me and you to accept for a while."
"I suggest that we adjourn the meeting today and think carefully about the regent's words. Since the regent said that the court cannot talk to each other, if you have any questions, you can mention them to the regent tomorrow, and the regent will be responsible for explaining them to you."
"It is unarguable that this move is related to the fate of the Ning Kingdom. You are all ministers of the Ning Kingdom. You should have a deep understanding of the regent's intentions. Only then can you perform your duties wholeheartedly and realize the great plan of Ning Kingdom's rejuvenation. Create an unprecedented beautiful and prosperous era!”
The meeting adjourned.
Many people are destined to have trouble sleeping tonight.
…
…
Wen Boyu and Nian Chengfeng came to the small courtyard of Huamanting again.
A lamp, a table, a few side dishes and a bottle of wine.
"How was the chat?"
"I'll offer you a glass of wine... That boy is a man of great talent!"
Huamanting didn't ask anything.
He smiled slightly: "That's good, I'm going to leave Kyoto tomorrow."
Wen Boyu was startled: "Where are you going?"
"Travel the world!"
