Chapter 1651 The Queen Arrives
Chapter 1651 The Empress arrives
Zhao Xuanji proposed to restore the cabinet, which is a real government affairs.
With the previous confrontation, Su Jinpa really couldn't speak out about this matter.
Otherwise, it would be a confirmation of the name of interfering in politics.
And after using that imperial edict once, it is difficult to use it again again, unless it is to completely tear the face.
But Su Jinpa knew very well that this face could not be torn.
Su Zhenting seemed to know all these things, and he did not let Su Jinpa face Zhao Xuanji alone again and stood up.
"The reform of the political system of the three provinces is a hard work of His Highness. It has been implemented for more than half a year. The facts have proved that after the division of the three provinces, the government's operation is smooth and efficient, which is much better than the previous cabinet system. At this time, the cabinet system cannot be easily restored, otherwise wouldn't it be that our Qin Dynasty political system regressed?"
Zhao Xuanji seemed to have expected Su Zhenting's remarks for a long time and said lightly: "Extraordinary strategies should be used in extraordinary times. The three-provincial system is not denying that it has its own advantages, but now there is no one who can make a decision. The ministers are not convinced by each other, and the departments are arguing with each other. The Liao army is about to invade. Where can I get the time for officials and departments to compete for power and profit?"
"So the cabinet system that can make decisions is the most suitable for the current situation!"
These resonates with many people.
Even some neutral officials nodded unconsciously.
Putting aside political stance and personal ambitions, the cabinet system is indeed more efficient than the three-provincial system in chaotic times.
Because the three-provincial system disperses power to the three provinces, and they are related and restrain each other. If it is a peaceful and prosperous era, this is naturally an excellent magic weapon to maintain the supreme imperial power. However, the current situation is turbulent, and there is a department that can tell the truth and implement the will and decisions of the court.
I am afraid that when Li Chen formulated the three-provincial system, he did not expect that one day the capital would face a situation of unownership. Whether it was the emperor or himself, as long as one person was there, the cabinet system could be completely eliminated.
But man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations, and this unpredictable omission still happened.
Su Zhenting snorted coldly and said firmly: "Political reform cannot be determined by just one word or one act. This matter is very important, nor is it that a minister can make decisions without authorization. Lord Zhao is so anxious and has ulterior motives. Don't say that my official will not agree, even all the soldiers of the Qin Empire will not agree!"
This is a bit threatening.
Zhao Xuanji sneered: "Is General Su threatening my official with military authority?"
Su Zhenting said proudly: "All the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire will always be loyal to the court, to the royal family of Li, and to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but there is no one in this."
Zhao Xuanji said coldly: "For civil servants, it is better not to interfere in the affairs of military officials."
"Then I must intervene?" Su Zhenting faced each other with tit-for-tat, not giving in.
Zhao Xuanji's expression was gloomy, but he didn't care in his heart.
To deal with Su Zhenting, I had long expected that he would threaten with military authority.
Zhao Xuanji said lightly: "General Su is just a general in the Commander's Office. Although he has overview of national military affairs, he has no emperor's orders and no right to mobilize one soldier. Since General Su is so loyal and righteous, he naturally will not make any move to mobilize troops without authorization, right?"
As soon as Zhao Xuanji said this, a general was about to die.
Seeing that the two sides were facing each other's fiercest and angry, and they were about to tear each other apart, there was another high singing outside the palace.
"The Empress is here!!!"
Many officials were beating wildly. Today's court meeting was lively.
