At that time, it will be either looting or re-taxation. There will be no third way.

Commercial tax?

The roads are impassable, business travel is extinct, where does the business tax come from?

"Having said that, how can we wait until next year?" Zhao Huan asked.

Everyone was speechless.

If it is delayed until next year, the center will consume too much, and the local area will be severely damaged, so it is not worthwhile.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, the second reason." Yang Shi said.

Zhao Huan got up, walked around twice, and said: "Since Emperor Taizong, the bravery of the previous emperors has gradually weakened.

During the reign of Zhenzong, the Khitan people went south and almost approached Kaifeng city.

Since then, there has been no emperor's personal conquest, and even military affairs are no longer understood.

Today, there are endless rebellions everywhere, and the external situation is changing. It can be said that internal and external troubles are complete.

If I just live in the center, how can I show my bravery, and how can I be a model for future generations?

Only by the personal conquest of the royal driver can the internal troubles be completely calmed down, and then the external troubles can be swept away, and the world can be settled. "

Yu Ren got up and said: "According to the usual practice, when the emperor conquers himself, there should be a prince to supervise the country.

Dare to ask Your Majesty, who do you want to supervise the country? "

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked sideways.

The so-called don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

The emperor's personal conquest may encounter danger and die, so it is necessary to reserve a backup.

This second hand is usually the prince, so there is a prince who supervises the country.

The emperor died, and the succession of the crown prince was a matter of course, so there was nothing to say.

But now, Zhao Huan has only one son, and he has not confinement, nor has he been established as a prince, so it is really not easy to set him up as a supervisor.

"I have been considering this matter for a long time." Zhao Huan said: "Jin named Chong Guogong Zhao Chen as the inspector Shao Fu, Ning Guojun Jiedushi, Ning Wang, and established him as the crown prince.

When the imperial conquest was in person, in order to ensure the operation of the central government, an auxiliary government cabinet was set up to assist the crown prince in supervising the country.

The cabinet ministers selected seven people, divided into chief assistants, second assistants, etc., to assist the prince in handling state affairs. "

"Your Majesty, the power of the cabinet is too great. If there is a change, the prison country may exist in name only." Luo Congyan persuaded.

"It's okay, let's talk after listening." Zhao Huan said.

His purpose is to get out the emperor's lazy artifact to assist the government cabinet.

In the original history, the auxiliary government cabinet was established in the fourth year of Jianwen in the Ming Dynasty. It was originally the emperor's advisory body, and it only provided opinions for the emperor's reference.

At this time, the Cabinet Grand Scholars only have the status of advisors, and the emperor has the final decision-making power, and the Grand Scholars rarely have the opportunity to participate in the decision.

In the period of Ming Renzong and Ming Xuanzong, the status of cabinet scholars was increasingly respected, and the power of the cabinet was also increasing. In the middle of Ming Shizong, Xia Yan, Yan Song and others were in charge of the cabinet, and they were the real prime ministers.

So far, the cabinet has become the actual administrative center.

However, although the chief cabinet scholar (chief minister of the cabinet) has the power to vote, he has to rely on the internal eunuch to deliver the award.

The powers of the Shoufu University Scholars are the same as those of the former prime ministers, but they must cooperate with the eunuchs to take charge of the affairs, such as Zhang Juzheng combined with Feng Bao.

In this regard, Zhao Huan certainly has specific ideas.

280 a cabinet

When the emperor is willing to do something, the cabinet is only an advisory body. When the emperor is unwilling or unable to do something, the cabinet will exercise power instead of the dynasty.

For important matters, the cabinet discusses, and the minority obeys the majority to form a resolution and form a decree.

Different from the Ming Dynasty, at this time, although the country had no name of prime minister, it had the reality of prime minister.

The formation of the imperial decree must go through the countersignature of the Political Affairs Hall and relevant departments.

Just like Zhao Ji's decree to send Liu Fa to train the frontier army, he needs someone from the Political Affairs Hall to agree to sign and draw a seal.

Zhao Huan ordered Fan Qiong and others to be killed alive, and it could only be executed with the countersignature of Zhengshitang, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment.

Such a process determines that the cabinet cannot cover the sky with one hand.

The situation in which the chief assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty gained great power with the cooperation of the eunuchs in the palace would never happen in this dynasty.

It can be foreseen that if the cabinet wants to hold power, it must at least subdue the Zhengshitang.

If the Zhengshitang wants to keep its power, it must resist the pressure of the cabinet.

Whether the east wind is strong or the west wind is strong depends entirely on the strength of both sides.

As for the emperor, just be the arbiter.

The most important thing is that the cabinet members must be appointed by the emperor, and the emperor can veto the decrees drawn up by the cabinet.

In doing so, the emperor can be freed from trivial matters and concentrate on major and important matters.

Of course, it doesn't matter much if there are emperors who are lazy and slack in politics, even like those emperors who have not worked for decades in the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, both the cabinet and the political affairs hall need to rely on the emperor to suppress each other, which can ensure the emperor's authority and authority.

At the very least, it is almost impossible for the central ministers to rebel by controlling the government.

Those present were all old fried dough sticks, and they easily understood Zhao Huan's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, may I ask how to select this cabinet scholar?" Zheng Juzhong asked.

Of all the people present, he was the most eager.

Because he himself knew that the emperor didn't want to see him, and only because of the need to stabilize the center, he was left as the leader.

It doesn't take two years before I think it's time to resign.

According to the usual practice, if the ministers of the Zhengshitang retire, they will either go home to eat old rice, or go to a certain place to become a state governor. Now, according to the emperor's vision, there is a new way out.

Of course, the freshly-baked cabinet's authority cannot exceed that of the Zhengshitang, but it is still an important minister of the court, with considerable power and greater influence.

Therefore, Zheng Juzhong asked eagerly.
