Qin Zhao had explained all these ideas to Jing Li, but her husband unconditionally protected her. Even though she knew these reasons, she was still not happy.
He just hoped that Qin Zhao would be less tired and didn't care what the other party's original intention was.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Come and take a look at this." Qin Zhao put down his pen and handed the memorial in his hand to Jing Li.
Jing Li took it and the first thing she noticed was her husband's beautiful handwriting.
Qin Zhao's handwriting was beautiful, but he usually wrote more casually. Jing Li rarely saw his handwriting so neat and upright, yet so elegant. Each stroke seemed to have been carefully crafted, a delight to the eye.
Jing Li admired it carefully for a while before noticing the content.
"Are you going to suggest to the young emperor to establish a cabinet system?" Jing Li was a little surprised.
The imperial court of this era practiced the prime minister system. The previous prime minister had just stepped down, and the position of prime minister was still vacant. The content of Qin Zhao's memorial was to abolish the prime minister system, establish a cabinet, and select trusted ministers to assist in government affairs.
This idea actually came from Jing Li.
After everything was settled, Jing Li told Qin Zhao about his experience before coming here.
Qin Zhao felt that Jing Li's background was a little strange when he first met him. After learning the truth, he was not surprised, but felt as if he had suddenly realized something.
He didn't think Jing Li was just an ordinary fish from the beginning.
Therefore, after learning Jing Li's background, Qin Zhao became extremely interested in the world he described. Everything Jing Li described was something Qin Zhao had never heard of before. He could not imagine that there was such a technologically advanced country in the world where everyone was equal.
Jing Li once asked him whether it was possible to achieve such a transformation in this era.
The answer is very difficult.
Qin Zhao didn't reject such an era; if possible, he would even like to see it progress toward this goal. But they were just ordinary people, a tiny cog in the long river of history. It was nearly impossible for them to achieve earth-shaking changes with their own strength.
However, it is possible to do so by borrowing some of the systems of "that world".
Qin Zhao has been thinking about this all year, and this is the conclusion he came to.
"...The young emperor lacks dignity. If we rashly cultivate powerful ministers, we'll probably make the same mistake again. If we establish a cabinet, the ministers can only discuss politics but not make decisions. This will only benefit the young emperor." He paused, then continued, "I know this system has some drawbacks, but it's the most suitable solution for the current royal family. If the cabinet can really be established, both Qi Xuan and I will have a much lighter burden."
"I'm talking to you, what are you looking at me doing?"
Jing Li was slightly stunned and lowered his head: "Nothing..."
His gaze returned to the memorial. This was the first time he had seen Qin Zhao so energetic and eloquent. His initial thoughts were correct; only by returning to this place could Qin Zhao unleash his full potential.
Through the thin paper, Jing Li seemed to once again touch the regent who was above everyone else and had tremendous power.
He really...likes Qin Zhao like this.
Jing Li pursed her lips and quietly raised her eyes to look at the other person.
