The Ministry of Secretaries and the Hanlin Academy were both institutions that were close to the emperor. The emperor wanted to cultivate private individuals and fill the political hall with his own people.

If there are too many people in the political hall and the dispute cannot be resolved, the emperor will be appealed to for judgment.

But it's already pretty good.

The founding emperor had a good conscience when he gave in. However, maybe there were other reasons? Wanted to win over the literati? To change the social atmosphere?

"How many people are suitable for the political hall?" Song Le asked.

"Let's tentatively decide on seven people." Shao Shude said: "There will be two ministers, two ministers, and the other three, I will decide. If there is a dispute, you can vote and decide based on the number of people."

This voting system by show of hands did not exist before, which was also an important reason for low efficiency.

In addition, the emperor actually has the power of veto. That is, if the prime ministers make their own decisions on a certain policy and reach a consensus, the emperor can also veto it.

This power is actually quite impressive. Sometimes, the emperor would use it to make deals with the prime ministers.

"The internal servants are not allowed to enter the political affairs hall. The grades of the six ministers should be reconsidered." Song Le added.

Shao Shude smiled. Was he afraid of being frightened by eunuchs? Was he also worried that he would be in charge of six ministries and also serve as prime minister?

"Yes," he said, "but the prime minister cannot concurrently serve as the privy envoy, and civilian officials cannot serve as the privy envoy."

"The division of power between the Nine Temples and the Six Ministries still needs to be clarified," Song Le said again.

"Master Song, why are you in such a hurry..." Shao Shude laughed and said, "Now that the framework is clear, everything else will be easy to handle."

Song Le thought so too.

The system is basically like this, with two provinces and six ministries, the emperor and the scholars share power and rule the world together. However, the Privy Council is still controlled by warriors, and behind these warriors is actually the emperor himself.

This is fine too.
