It is no exaggeration to say that the Chinese Academy of Sciences is strong and powerful today.
Now the Chinese Academy of Sciences has begun to subdivide its departments. Each department has its own specialized research field, and they have achieved fruitful results in this field.
In Lu Chen's opinion, instead of looking for someone to assist Li Xiang, it would be better to directly form an advisory group.
The benefits of this are obvious. First, power is dispersed, and there won't be a situation where one person monopolizes power and causes harm to the world.
Secondly, with more people, there will be more diverse views on a matter, and relatively speaking, more comprehensive answers can be given.
Third, there is strength in numbers. Handing over the same workload to the advisory group would be much more efficient than Li Xiang having to think about it herself.
Lu Chen's proposal made everyone present's eyes light up.
If this is true, then there is no need to continue to worry about things.
In fact, the six ministers present were also somewhat worried that Lu Chen, who would be in power in the future, might do something like calling a horse a zebra.
Li Zhuo was very satisfied. He felt that the luckiest thing in his life was that he met a genius like Lu Chen when the country was in danger.
"That's great!" Li Zhuo turned to look at the Queen Mother and asked, "What do you think, Mother?"
The Queen Mother was obviously unwilling to accept this, but she couldn't think of any good solution in a short period of time.
So she started to make a stupid move. She was still very dissatisfied and said, "The idea of an advisory group is unheard of. No one can really tell its true effectiveness. How about this? I will also go to the court and take care of Xiang'er for you, the emperor."
Wow, even Lu Chen who was standing aside was shocked.
What is this for? Is she going to rule the country from behind the scenes?
"Your Majesty, you're worrying too much. With us helping to keep an eye on things, nothing will happen. My Great Qi isn't so fragile that it needs to rely on a woman and a child to hold it together."
The first person to stand up and oppose was Ke Fuji. As the Minister of Rites, he felt that what the Queen Mother said was simply heretical and shameless.
You are just an old woman in the harem, do you understand what government is? Have you ever handled government affairs? Come with us here now.
Wei Yong was even more direct. He began to sneer in front of the Queen Mother, "What? The Queen Mother is planning to follow the example of the previous dynasty?"
This is a bit heartbreaking. The reason why Da Qi did not allow the harem to participate in politics was because there was such an example in the previous dynasty, which brought disaster to the entire country and made the people live in misery. Therefore, Da Qi had such a rule.
Now that the Queen Mother could actually say such words, it couldn't help but make the civil service system alert.
What is this old lady trying to do? Is she trying to stir up trouble?
Even Li Zhuo looked at the Queen Mother with dissatisfaction, and then slowly said: "Come here, the Queen Mother is tired, please go back!"
The Queen Mother was stunned. She was just carried back like that? Was she still the boss of the harem?
What made the Queen Mother even more upset was that before leaving, Li Zhuo added, "If there is nothing special, please rest in the harem."
Just such a simple sentence almost sentenced the Queen Mother to death.
Several ministers looked at Li Zhuo with admiration. They did not expect that Li Zhuo would be so decisive in this matter.
They originally thought that they had to continue persuading Li Zhuo on this matter in order to dispel the Queen Mother's unrealistic fantasies.
So after the Queen Mother left, everyone saluted Li Zhuo and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Zhuo gave a wry smile, took Li Xiang's hand and said, "I haven't achieved much in my life, so this is all I can do for you."
As soon as they heard this, everyone knew that Li Zhuo really intended to give up power this time.
The civil servants were very excited. Although this was a father handing over power to his son, the father was not dead yet, but the son had already taken charge of the family. This was rare in history, and most of them did not have a good ending.
What does it prove that Li Zhuo can do this now? Of course, it proves the achievements of Confucian ethics!
So everyone felt that this matter must be made possible, and Li Zhuo must die peacefully!
After a brief exchange of glances, several people decided that in order to get this done, no matter how excessive the demands made by Li Zhuo or Li Xiang were, everyone would have to accept them.
The first one to speak was Li Zhuo, and he indeed had other ideas.
Seeing that the ministers were very supportive of him, he smiled weakly and said, "I heard that the hospital under the Chinese Academy of Sciences is very good at conditioning the body. I plan to go there to recuperate for some time."
this……
In fact, the ministers in the court were often wary and worried about the emperor leaving the palace.
The reason is simple. One of the reasons is that it is difficult to guarantee the emperor's personal safety after leaving the palace.
You must know that there are heavy guards and checkpoints in the palace. Once you step out of the palace, it will be like a dragon swimming in shallow water or a tiger in plain water. The danger you face will naturally increase greatly.
Not to mention the possibility of encountering extreme situations such as assassinations, even if some emergencies or accidents occur among the people, there is no guarantee that the emperor's safety will not be endangered.
Furthermore, after leaving the palace, the emperor was easily exposed to various information from the outside world.
This information was complex and mixed, and many of them were different from or even completely opposite to what the ministers usually presented to the emperor.
In this way, it is very likely that the so-called "information cocoon" carefully constructed by the ministers for the emperor will be broken.
This "information cocoon" is where ministers, through screening, filtering, and intentional guidance, convey information they deem appropriate to the emperor, thereby shaping a situation that suits their own interests and expectations.
However, once the emperor personally leaves the palace to obtain more extensive and true information, the layout that the ministers have painstakingly planned will most likely be completely disrupted, which will in turn affect their control over the government and the stability of their own position.
Therefore, for various reasons, the ministers always maintained a high degree of vigilance and taboo about the emperor leaving the palace.
But now Li Zhuo is planning to hand over his power and wants to stay in the hospital for some time to recuperate. Should they stop him?
Besides, Li Zhuo was poisoned in the palace, which proves that the palace’s security defense mechanism is full of loopholes.
At this point, there is no need to talk about whether it is safe in the palace. In comparison, it seems that the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with its simpler personnel composition, is indeed safer.
As for the information cocoon, since Li Zhuo no longer intends to continue to be the emperor, then what is the point of setting up an information cocoon?
The person who should really be trapped in the information cocoon is Li Xiang, but considering the advisory group that will appear around Li Xiang, this trick doesn't seem to be very effective.
So that night, Li Zhuo was escorted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences by a group of soldiers and ministers, and he never planned to return to the palace.
