The night became heavier.

After Zhao Dongting left Wu Dingtang and went to the Imperial Study Room, he followed by Lu Xiufu, Zhong Jian, Wen Qingshu, Wang Wenfu, Xin Jingfu, Zhao and Luo, and other central cabinet officials also arrived one after another.

They held a meeting of the central cabinet in the room outside the imperial study room.

"I have summoned all my beloved ministers to come at this time, and I want to hand over all the state affairs to you for now."

As soon as he spoke, Zhao Dongting was shocked.

Lu Xiufu and others were all shocked.

Wang Wenfu said: "Why did the emperor suddenly have such an idea?"

Zhao Dongting said: "I plan to go into seclusion and practice martial arts.

During this period, national affairs were voted by the central cabinet, and except for matters related to front-line wars, there was no need to report to me."

"emperor!"

As the deputy state commander and deputy head of the central cabinet, Lu Xiufu frowned and stood up after hearing this, "The old minister thought this was inappropriate, why don't the emperor wait until after the war..."                                                                                                     �

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Dongting laughed out loud and said, "The State Council order doesn't have to be so nervous!"

He pretended to be relaxed, "I feel at ease with the central cabinet here."

I also want to examine whether the central cabinet really has the power to govern the country.

Speaking of which, I have been in the process of establishing the cabinet system for several years. Now it is time to see if this system is really useful to the state and to the people.

With me here, you always feel like you are restricted. You have to ask me for instructions on everything. If I have something to pass the Central Cabinet vote, you will do it according to my wishes.

In this way, Yu Dasong is not a good phenomenon.

I have established cabinets at all levels to prevent the emergence of a one-man sect and to be independent and capable, rather than just following the leader of the head.

I am not afraid that you dare to speak out directly or deny my decision. What I am afraid of is that you obey my orders.

Because of you, the cabinets at all levels below must be the same, so the cabinet system will have no meaning.”

"This..." Lu Xiufu and others were speechless by Zhao Dongting's long words.

There was a thoughtful look on his face.

In their hearts, imperial power is supreme.

But now, the emperor is putting down this kind of imperial power.

It was probably not until this moment that they truly realized that Zhao Dongting created a cabinet system was not a joke, but that he really wanted the Song Dynasty to no longer be a "one-man show".

The emperor wants to set an example.

The court is no longer a "one-man government" and it is the same as the government offices at all levels below.

And as Zhao Dongting said, their central cabinet did not do anything before.

After all, Zhao Dongting was the decision of any court.

They voted and so on, just to follow the situation.

After a while, Lu Xiufu said to Zhao Dongting: "The emperor really plans to let us vote for national decisions?"

There was still a look of surprise on his face.

Because the emperor would never do this before.

This is absolutely rebellious from the previous king's way.

Although the emperor had acted very differently from the previous emperors, this time it was different from the past and was really planning to weaken his imperial power.

Lu Xiufu could imagine that as long as the central cabinet really began to make decisions on national policies.

If this continues, one day the imperial power will no longer be said.

When the emperor was angry, things like burying a million corpses would not happen again.

"certainly."

Zhao Dongting nodded with certainty, "I will draft an order later. The Military Intelligence Department will now belong to the central cabinet and will no longer be responsible to me.

The general manager Xuanxue was included in the central cabinet."

Lu Xiufu and others were even more shocked.

If Zhao Dongting asked the central cabinet to vote on national policy, it would be very likely that it would be just a move, then handing over the power of the Military Intelligence Department to the central cabinet would definitely give the central cabinet decision-making power.

That night, Lu Xiufu and others left the imperial study until very late.

When they left, the senior officials still had a look of surprise.

The next day.

There is morning court.

Zhao Dongting affirmed the decision-making power of the central cabinet headed by him in front of all civil and military officials, and for the first time clearly planned the hierarchy of the cabinet.

As for the cabinet alone, it is the central cabinet.

Have decision-making power.

However, the central cabinet is restricted by the mirror table.

Mingjingtai has the right to vote, procuratorial power and removal power over the members of the central cabinet.

This is truly giving the "power" to the people.

Below the central cabinet are the State Cabinet, the Military Cabinet, the Law Cabinet and the Supervision Cabinet.

Further down are the departments and departments.

They have decision-making power in their department, but they are all restricted by the upper cabinet.

As for the various yamen cabinets in various provinces and prefectures, they are naturally under the cabinets of their departments.

In fact, there was no change in the yamen at all levels of the Song Dynasty, but it was just that the decision-making system of the chief officials became the decision-making system of the cabinet.

The cabinet is subject to double supervision from the superior cabinet and the Singjingtai at all levels.

The Mingjingtai, which does not have real power, can be said to have the institution that will truly control the "power of life and death" of all officials from now on.

The head of the MIIS, Xuanxue, became a member of the central cabinet.

The MIIS, which has always been away from the imperial court, has been ranked since then.

It is at the level of a large military region, but is independent of the Ministry of Social Security and is outside the military affairs province.

When Eunuch Liu read out this decree, all the officials in the hall looked at Xuan Xue.

Xuanxue herself also looked shocked.

She never thought that she would be able to enter the central cabinet in this life and would be able to achieve the same level as the "marshal".

She used to think that she was the emperor's ear.

She also knew that she was never favored or even looked down upon by officials, but perhaps this situation would change in the future.

The MIIS will definitely be still mysterious, but it will never be a "villain" hiding in the shadows.

The morning court dispersed, and all officials left the hall in groups, all whispering.

Only Xuanxue was alone, but her beautiful face was filled with a smile.

Just now, several officials took the initiative to express their "congratulations" to her.

This has never been before.

The MIIS is much more far away from people from the Provincial Supervision Bureau, and it is not even an exaggeration to say that it is fear.

Zhao Dongting finally came out of the hall and then headed towards Wuding Hall at a very fast speed.

After coming all night, he could no longer suppress the desire in his heart.
Chapter completed!
