On the second day, Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun went to the academy as usual for classes, and there was no abnormality on their faces.

   It was just that the two of them did not go home after a day's course, but went directly to the palace.

Gu Jingyun went straight to the Qinzheng Palace. Li Baolu was taken to the harem, and then transferred from the harem to the Qinzheng Palace. The four imperial physicians were all in the side hall of the apse. When they met Li Baolu, they greeted each other and soon entered into the discussion. middle.

   After Li Baolu left yesterday, the four of them improved the treatment plan again, and made some simple requirements for His Majesty the Emperor's work and rest time.

   This kind of thankless errand was naturally handed over to Li Baolu in the end, and the reason why Li Baolu entered the palace was also the responsibility - the communication bridge between the emperor and the imperial physicians.

The    emperor wanted to know his true physical condition, but the imperial physicians always used words to prevaricate him. Over time, he could not believe what they said, so he needed Li Baolu.

   Li Baolu's medical skills and pulse cases are of course not as good as those of the imperial physicians in the Taiyuan Hospital, but she is not an imperial physician, she will tell the truth.

   So as soon as the emperor noticed that the imperial physicians had dropped their book bags again, he immediately recruited Li Baolu.

   He may not understand what the imperial physicians said, but he understands it through Li Baolu's interpretation.

   And the imperial physicians had many words that were difficult to say, and they did not dare to force many demands. Most of the conversations with the emperor were half a sentence and half a sentence. This was not only for the sake of their own safety, but also for the family.

   But now there is a bridge, all the bad words can come out of her mouth and enter the emperor's ears, the imperial physicians are of course happy, so they took Li Baolu and explained it in detail.

  Because he wanted something, when Li Baolu took out a small notebook and asked various medical questions, the four imperial doctors answered them carefully, allowing Li Baolu to solve many difficult problems.

   The five people were talking happily, Gu Jingyun accompanied the emperor and the prince back to the apse, and the little **** came to invite the five people to go to the doctor.

   The four imperial physicians hurriedly looked at Li Baolu.

  Li Baolu calmly turned around and said, "Let's go."

   Brother Jingyun had already analyzed it last night. The emperor asked her to check her pulse and see a doctor.

After    two or three times, when the emperor and the imperial physicians find a point that is acceptable to both sides, she will no longer be needed after the run-in.

   And the emperor is still the previous emperor. He is gentle and kind, so he won't be afraid of Baolu, but he will trust her more, otherwise she wouldn't be able to leave the palace last night.

   You must know that these four imperial physicians have been living in the palace this month, and Xu Yuanzheng has not been out of the palace for three months.

It is also today that his health is often not good. Since he ascended the throne, the imperial doctor who diagnoses his pulse and explores the disease has always stayed in the palace and is not allowed to go out. Once or twice, everyone will suspect that the emperor is seriously ill, but he still has a normal face every day. Going to court, and after four or five times, everyone is not surprised.

  So now the only people who know that the emperor is sick are himself and the imperial doctor, only the queen mother and the prince, of course, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu will be added now.

  Li Baolu and the imperial physicians knelt down and saluted the emperor. After getting up, they handed him the treatment plan and said frankly, "Your Majesty, if you want to take good care of your body, you must first ensure that your routine can follow the above."

  The emperor looked at the plan in his hand indifferently and remained silent.

   Li An quietly stood on tiptoe and tilted his head to look over, and after a while, he silently retracted his gaze.

   Really want to follow the above schedule, the royal father does not even have two hours a day to deal with official documents.

  Who will handle the affairs that his father cannot handle in the end?

  The prince cried silently in his heart, then clenched his teeth and stomped his feet: "Father, take care of your body."

  The emperor closed the plan, threw it on the table beside him, looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "Then you might handle state affairs for me?"

  The prince lowered his head, "My son will do his best, if there is something you don't understand, there are the elders."

  The emperor lowered his eyes and said nothing.

   In fact, half of Chu's government is now in the hands of the crown prince, otherwise he would have died long ago if he bowed to everything.

The crown prince had to enter the cabinet every day to handle half of the affairs of the state, and after that, he had to go to the Ministry of Personnel to observe the government. In two years, he had only completed the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Punishment. In addition to the Ministry of Personnel, there were three other departments, and it was estimated that two years would be enough. .

In addition to these two important tasks every day, he also has to deal with the affairs handed over to the Prince's Mansion and listen to Gu Jingyun's teachings. It can be said that his time is too full, how can he bear to let his son be bad? His own body to handle government affairs for him?

  It only takes a year and a half to work hard anyway...

  The emperor only had this thought in his mind when he heard a long sigh beside him.

   He turned his head to look, Gu Jingyun had already stepped forward two steps and said, "Why doesn't Your Majesty delegate power to the Sixth Division?"

  The emperor and the prince frowned at the same time.

  The kings of all dynasties have been committed to centralizing power in the center. For this reason, they set up a cabinet to directly obey the king and reduce the authority of the six departments. Why are they now delegating power to the six departments?

   "Although I have never served in the Six Divisions, I have read through the Six Divisions of the previous and current dynasties. From the case alone, there are two shortcomings in the Six Divisions."

The emperor knew that although Gu Jingyun had never been to the six ministries, the crown prince would ask him about the affairs of the ministries when he was observing the affairs of the ministries, and Gu Jingyun did teach him without difficulty. Neither believe it.

   So, the emperor nodded and asked, "Which two?"

"One, there are too many people. A matter may require several people, or even several departments to deal with it repeatedly. Apart from the fact that the rules are too complicated, it is because the personnel are too many. If the rules are simplified, there must be many people who have nothing to do. It can be done. Second, the cabinet involves too much power. Your Majesty, the previous dynasty abolished the prime minister, and the original intention of setting up the cabinet was to ask the cabinet when the monarch made a decision, so as to ensure the clarity and clarity of the decree. But it is also limited to some difficult national affairs, such as The specific rules for the opening of the horse market, the security fortification, the appointment of some local officials, etc., do not have to be handled by the cabinet at all..."

  The four imperial physicians could not wait to plug their ears, or dig a hole and bury themselves, pretending that they did not exist.

  Gu Jingyun is really too ruthless, these two issues simply offend the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

  If the staff is too long, it will have to be laid off. Everyone is so easy to become an official. Who wants to go home and farm?

  The cabinet has too much power, so it has to be taken back. Who is willing to hand over the power in hand?

   Although they are doctors who see a doctor, they know such a simple question.

  The most important thing is that their original intention was to let the emperor rest well, not to make him overworked. When these two items are mentioned at this time, isn't it to find work for the emperor who is already busy and tired?

   Is this here to help them or harm them?

  Prince quickly reacted, and bowed his hands to Gu Jingyun and said, "Please teach me sir."

  The emperor also looked at Gu Jingyun with a smile, "Then what should be done in your opinion?"

"Decentralize power and leave some matters that can be handled by the Six Ministries to the Six Ministries to handle by themselves, without having to report to the Cabinet and His Majesty. Only some important and difficult matters must be folded up. Your Majesty, there are too many backlogs in the Cabinet now, not only you and the Prince, Two-thirds of the time of the five cabinet elders is also spent in the cabinet, which is too long."

"Except for local emergency memorials, most of those submitted through the six ministries can make their own decisions, and do not need to submit them to the cabinet and His Majesty. You must know that at the beginning of the establishment of the cabinet, except for major state affairs, the cabinet will not be asked about other matters. "

   "I'm afraid that the cabinet will not agree, and then there will be disputes." The emperor sighed.

Gu Jingyun said indifferently: "Your Majesty has been overly concerned. The five patriarchs are all loyal ministers who serve the country and the people. They will appreciate His Majesty's hard work and the hardships of the six officials. If they are unwilling to let go of power, then You can only abolish six officials, and you can't waste the people's tax revenue, right?"

  Li Baolu blinked and added in a low voice: "And the patriarch also serves as the six ministers, does Your Majesty think they will not agree?"

   It should be said, do they dare to agree?

  The emperor and the prince understood in seconds.

   In general, the cabinet bosses are usually elected by four people from the six ministries, there are exceptions, but there will always be six ministers in the cabinet, as many as four, and as few as one.

   And now three of the five cabinets are ministers concurrently, which is said to be decentralization, but it is also from their own hands that the power is delegated to their subordinate officials.

   Of course, it’s better to have power in your own hands, but do they dare to offend the vast number of six officials?

   Don't look at their low grades, only six or seven grades, but they are numerous and involved in a wide range, and the officials of the first and second grades are slowly climbing up from the sixth and seventh grades.

  Gu Jingyun threw this problem to the cabinet. If they don't let go of power, then you can go and sack the staff yourself, and sack the idle officials, or put them in the local area.

   Choose one of the two, there is always one you have to compromise.

Gu Jingyun has wanted to do this for a long time, but he does not hold real power and does not want to be involved in the political quagmire, so he turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye, only taught Li An with his heart, and planned to wait for his status. It is stable, and Li An will reform by himself when he promises.

   But now I see a few people who are distressed and sad because of the "busy state affairs", so he couldn't help but say a few more words.

  Who makes the people who worry about it all the people you care about?

   Baolu aside, Li An is his own disciple, and the emperor is also his favorite emperor, so since they are both unhappy, then transfer the unpleasantness and make others unhappy.

  The emperor and the prince were both excited.

The power of the cabinet is indeed too great. In fact, many powers of the cabinet now belong to the six ministries. However, with the passage of time, the status of the six ministries is getting lower and lower, the power of the cabinet is getting deeper and deeper, and some affairs are habitually controlled. It was handed over to the cabinet, which made them more and more powerful.

   Now Gu Jingyun's proposal is just moving closer to the past, returning the power that originally belonged to the Sixth Division to the Sixth Division.

   Only in this way, the power in the hands of the emperor is also reduced.
