The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2471 When the innovation is in progress

If this system is passed and a clear regulation is formed, if the monarch dares to act arbitrarily, he will inevitably encounter resistance from officials.

Sheng Boyuan only said that this accountability system can restrict officials, but did not mention that it actually also protected officials.

The Queen Mother knew in her heart that this accountability system was actually very good. If she were an official instead of the Queen Mother, she would definitely support it. However, for the sake of the monarch's power, she was unwilling to agree to this draft.

After a while, the Queen Mother sighed softly and said: "How did he get such talents at such a young age? Some of them, just having talents is not enough, they must have rich experience."

Sheng Boyuan said: "There are great gods in the Valley of the Buried Saints. Humans can go to Shushan to hone themselves. Each race must have a way to hone it. Maybe it will lead to great luck and experience things that none of us have experienced. Therefore, he has learned a lot. It is common for all races to know the facts of the world.”

"Fang Yun is really lucky."

The Queen Mother's tone was full of reluctance, because these days she had been thinking about why Fang Yun, who had only regarded politics as a stepping stone to the holy path, was now suddenly obsessed with power.

Could it be that he has some secret reason?

The Queen Mother glanced at the draft and said, "How long can we stop this?"

Sheng Boyuan looked embarrassed and said: "If you, the Queen Mother, try your best to obstruct it, the ministers will naturally go all out. However, this is the first official draft and the first innovation of Fang Xusheng after Shihong Hengtian, and it is If we try to stop the officials directly under him, we are afraid it will trigger a strong backlash."

"Is this Jingguo's surname already Fang?" The Queen Mother's voice was full of anger.

Jing Jun shrank his neck slightly, panicked and nervous.

Sheng Boyuan remained silent.

"Sheng Aiqing, what should you do?"

Sheng Boyuan thought for a long time and said: "In my humble opinion, Fang Yun, with the power of the Ten Rainbows and the power of the Holy Court, is invincible at this moment. Why not give in and choose one of the future drafts to fight, so that all officials can You know, his luck can’t cover up the sky.”

"Can the royal family just 'fight' against their luck?"

"Wei Chen is guilty." Sheng Boyuan said fearfully, but his heart was filled with helplessness. Isn't this true?

While all parties are reviewing the draft of the assessment reform, Prime Minister Zuo has already started working on multiple proposals or drafts.

The second draft is the naming of cabinet officials. The four cabinet ministers will remain unchanged, and the cabinet counselors will remain unchanged, but the cabinet leaders will be renamed cabinet bachelors.

In the draft, Fang Yun did not directly name the specific model of cabinet centralism, but only used ambiguous words to strengthen the powers of cabinet counselors and cabinet scholars. For example, in special periods or when cabinet ministers cannot reach an agreement, cabinet counselors and cabinet bachelors Obliged to participate in discussions and make decisions together with cabinet ministers.

In fact, those who serve as cabinet counselors in Jingguo are originally feudal officials, and those who can serve as cabinet bachelors are the backbone. They can influence cabinet decisions, so this draft is not radical.

The third draft is also an improvement on the basis of the original law, that is, the system of appointing officials in different places. In fact, during the Qin Dynasty, there was a similar circumvention system, and Fang Yun just improved it.

The fourth draft concerns the term of office of officials. A five-year term is used as a term. Since officials have a total of eighteen grades, they can be promoted to a maximum of two consecutive grades every five years. At the same time, it is stipulated that if you achieve great achievements during the war and get special approval from the Holy Court, you can relax it as appropriate.

Although the first draft had not yet been formally adopted, Fang Yun did not wait and sent copies of the subsequent drafts to officials with cabinet councilor titles to solicit their opinions.

Time passed slowly, and Fang Yun began to work sleeplessly, constantly drafting various innovation drafts himself.

Under normal circumstances, Fang Yun first makes a preliminary draft, discusses with cabinet officials and then makes changes to form a second draft, which is then copied to each cabinet for consultation. After receiving feedback, a third draft is formed, which is sent to the cabinet for consultation again. After receiving feedback again, a fourth draft is formed. The fourth draft was handed over to the Queen Mother and Jing Jun to form the fifth draft. Finally, it was discussed at the court meeting and six final drafts were formed.

But in fact, except for a very small number of drafts, most drafts have been changed more than ten times. Some drafts with lower numbers have been implemented by decrees, while drafts with higher numbers have not been passed.

In most eras, political reform was slowly formed step by step, but it changed in Fang Yun's hands.

Fang Yun proposed at least one new draft almost every day, so that the officials of Zuoxiangge often lived and ate in Zuoxiangge and could not go home for more than ten consecutive days.

Fang Yun's draft must be copied to each cabinet councilor, and the staff and subordinates of those cabinet councilors will participate.

Therefore, the entire middle and high-level officials of Jingguo were turned around by Fang Yun and spent almost half of their energy participating in the draft.

However, many officials are not complaining.

Firstly, this is their job, and secondly, and most importantly, for officials, participating in policy formulation is not only a drag, but a manifestation of power and status.

Officials can be free, but what real officials fear most is leisure.

Having nothing to do often means being eliminated and marginalized.

Therefore, the potential of the entire Jingguo's middle and high-level officials was completely squeezed out by Fang Yun. As each government order was issued, Jingguo operated at a high speed with terrifying efficiency.

However, what officials could not understand the most was that the draft drafted by Fang Yun involved all aspects of the country, which was completely beyond the limits of an official or even any scholar. But they also knew that with the ability of those officials in the Left Prime Minister's Office, it would be impossible to achieve this even if they multiplied their abilities several times. It could only be the credit of Fang Yun alone.

Therefore, an important impact of the emergence of a large number of drafts was that almost all officials sincerely admired Fang Yun's ability, regardless of whether Fang Yun's drafts affected the interests of the officials themselves.

All officials who participated in the discussion of the drafts were at least Jinshi, and most of the drafts were classified. For example, some drafts on the details of the law were mainly handled by officials of the Ministry of Justice. If the governor received the draft, he would not call his subordinates and staff in a big way, but just write some of his own opinions and suggestions and send them to the Left Prime Minister's Office.

However, if it involved civil affairs, the Ministry of Justice would not spend too much time, and it was mainly the Ministry of Households and local chief officials who were responsible.

Therefore, those officials were busy, but they only dealt with some of the drafts.

The Left Prime Minister's Office was different, and had to deal with all the drafts. Therefore, the number of members of the Left Prime Minister's Cabinet has been increasing. Among the new members, half are officials of the Fang Party, and the other half are officials without party imprints but particularly capable.

In this regard, Fang Yun not only sent letters to ask his friends for advice, but also sent letters to Liu Shan, asking for advice on the selection methods of capable officials. Liu Shan did not hide his private information and gave sincere advice.

There were too many people, and the residences near the Left Prime Minister's Cabinet were all occupied.

As a result, the Left Prime Minister's Cabinet quickly proposed a draft to move the cabinet. This draft was quickly approved, and the Ministry of Works began to build a new cabinet office near the imperial palace.

There are not only many related draft decrees, but also involve all aspects. Without profound and vast knowledge, it is impossible to understand them thoroughly. Even Fang Yun relies on multitasking and magic medicine to maintain himself, and also takes this opportunity to practice the Tianchang Fen Shen method.

Therefore, the most miserable people in the Panorama Kingdom are not officials, and the most tired are not Fang Yun, but the Queen Mother and Jing Jun.
