Emperor Wen chatted with the two children for half an hour before he met with everyone.
After chatting with them briefly for a while, Emperor Wen asked the others to take the children out to play and left Yun Zheng in the palace.
"Mu Shun should have told you about the situation in the court, right?"
Emperor Wen leaned back in his chair and asked Yun Zheng calmly.
Yun Zheng: "I have said some things, but it is probably not comprehensive. I will take a closer look later."
"Well, it would be good to know more about it."
Emperor Wen nodded slightly, "There are many vacancies in the court at present. For both public and private reasons, you must transfer officials from Shuobei back to the court to serve."
"I understand!"
Yun Zheng said sternly, "Before I left for the Imperial City, I had already sent a letter to Chen Bu. I need to know what officials the court is short of so that I can transfer some people back."
Even if Emperor Wen didn't say this, Yun Zheng would definitely do it.
...
...
This is very necessary.
On the one hand, he must have his own trusted officials in the court.
On the other hand, it is also necessary to balance the power in the court.
Moreover, those who have worked so hard with him for so many years also need to be rewarded.
Recalling officials from Shuobei would be a good thing for both him and the court.
"Tang Shu will tell you which officials are needed later."
Emperor Wen said, and then raised his eyes and stared at Yun Zheng: "I want to restore the three-chancellor system, what do you think?"
Three-prime minister system?
Yun Zheng did not rush to answer, but thought quietly.
The so-called three-prime minister system consists of the left and right prime ministers and the chief censor.
This is a system established by the previous dynasty.
After Dagan established the country, he also adopted the three-prime minister system.
It was not abolished until the middle and late period of the late emperor's reign.
Yun Zheng was not very clear about the specific reason for the abolition.
But it is definitely related to the struggle for succession in the middle and late period of the previous emperor's reign.
The three-prime minister system has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that the existence of the left and right prime ministers can greatly reduce the emperor's burden, and the Chief Censor is at the same level as the left and right prime ministers, who can not only supervise all officials but also check and balance the left and right prime ministers to a certain extent.
The downside is that the left and right prime ministers have too much power, and it is easy for huge interest groups to form in the court.
Of course, whether it is good or bad depends largely on the emperor himself.
Yun Zheng thought silently for a while, but did not answer Emperor Wen's question. Instead, he asked Emperor Wen: "Father, you should know something about Shuobei's cabinet system, right?"
"Um."
Emperor Wen thought for a moment, "Do you want to implement a cabinet system in the court?"
Yun Zheng nodded slightly: "I do have this idea, but my vision is not as good as your father's, so I still want to hear your opinion."
He was not trying to flatter Emperor Wen.
When it comes to marching and fighting, he would definitely boast that he could defeat Emperor Wen.
But when it comes to political wisdom, he is certainly far inferior to Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen thought for a moment and replied, "For you, whether it is the cabinet system or the three chancellor system, it is actually the same! But you have to consider the future rulers, and you also have to consider the factional issues of the court officials and the officials in the north..."
Emperor Wen also stayed in Shuobei for some time.
Although he did not ask about Shuobei's affairs when he was in Shuobei, he had a certain understanding of the cabinet system implemented by Yun Zheng in Shuobei.
The cabinet system implemented by Yun Zheng in Shuobei was not much different from the prime minister system.
Ye Zi is actually equivalent to the prime minister of Shuobei. She has complete decision-making power, even including military power!
The cabinet is just Ye Zi's political advisory body.
Her power is greater than that of the prime minister under the system of three prime ministers.
But because Yun Zheng could trust Ye Zi unconditionally, he didn't need to worry about many problems, and they were naturally ignored.
But if the cabinet's power exceeds Ye Zi's, that would be a problem.
After all, there is no absolute saying that either the cabinet system or the three-prime minister system is better or worse. It mainly depends on the degree of trust and support from those in power.
The reason why Emperor Wen considered the three-chancellor system was, on the one hand, to reduce his own burden, and on the other hand, to create a balance between court officials and Shuobei officials.
"Then let's adopt the Three Prime Ministers System!"
Yun Zheng smiled with relief.
No matter what the system is, doesn’t it ultimately depend on people?
"Okay, then let's adopt the three-chancellor system!"
Emperor Wen no longer dwelled on this question, "What do you think of the selection of the three chancellors?"
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and replied, "Tang Shu will be the left prime minister, Tuo Huan will be the right prime minister, and as for the position of the Chief Censor, it will be held by the current Chief Censor of the imperial court. Alternatively, I can transfer the president of the Supervisory Council from Shuobei back!"
"Don't you consider Chen Bu?"
Emperor Wen smiled and said, "Chen Bu has made a great contribution to Shuobei. In terms of contribution alone, Chen Bu's contribution is probably greater than Tuohuan's. Moreover, Chen Bu comes from a humble background, so he may be more suitable to be the right prime minister."
"Father, the Emperor still wants to test me, your son?"
Yun Zheng smiled at Emperor Wen and said, "Father, can't you see the reason why I appointed Tuohuan?"
Tuohuan has a natural advantage.
Foreigner!
If one wants to implement the strategy of national integration, it is necessary to employ some officials from other ethnic groups.
Moreover, in terms of ability, Tuohuan is not inferior to Chen Bu.
Of course, Chen Bu also has advantages.
age!
Chen Bu is only in his forties and will have plenty of opportunities in the future.
Chen Bu can take over Tang Shu's class or Tuo Huan's class, it doesn't matter!
Chen Bu at present has not experienced any real court experience, and is indeed not suitable for the position of Right Prime Minister.
Emperor Wen looked at Yun Zheng approvingly.
It seems that Yun Zheng has already considered these issues.
In this case, he didn't need to say anything more.
"Then let's get rid of the fun!"
Emperor Wen made the final decision and asked, "What do you think of Chen Bu being appointed as the Minister of Revenue?"
"He can do it!"
Yun Zheng nodded slightly.
"Do you think Tang Shu should concurrently serve as the Minister of Personnel?"
Emperor Wen asked again.
"That will certainly be no problem."
Yun Zheng smiled: "Lord Tang is still trustworthy, as long as he can handle it!"
Under normal circumstances, since Tang Shu had become the Left Prime Minister, he could not concurrently serve as the Minister of Personnel.
Otherwise, it is likely to lead to a rapid expansion of Tang Shu's power in the court.
But Tang Shu is not young anymore and can’t do this for many more years.
As long as he was alive, he had absolute confidence that he could suppress Tang Shu's power.
There is no need to remove him from the position of Minister of Personnel in order to suppress Tang Shu's power now.
"Okay! Then let him take on the role!"
Emperor Wen smiled with satisfaction and asked again: "Did you ask Wu Dao to return to the imperial city?"
"Father, do you want Wu Dao to be the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Pavilion?" Yun Zheng instantly understood Emperor Wen's intention.
As the third brother's rebellion failed, the Gu family was also liquidated.
Now, the position of Grand Secretary of Wenhua Pavilion has become vacant.
"I would like to use Gao Shizhen, but would you agree?"
Emperor Wen glared at Yun Zheng with a smile, and then asked with a gossipy look on his face, "I also heard that you have some unclear relationship with Wu Dao's niece?"
"ah?"
Yun Zheng's face was filled with black lines, "Who told you this, Father? This is absolutely a rumor!"
He didn't even know what unclear relationship he had with Lan Hua, so how did Emperor Wen know?
Who the hell makes up these rumors all the time?
