I Will Transmigrate In 10 Days; Fortunately I Have A Cultivation Emulator-Chapter 400 - Pushing for a New Policy
400 Pushing for a New Policy
Although Western Qi’s information network was not as strong as the Delinquents of Great Shang, it was definitely not weak. 𝑏𝘦𝑑𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Although Western Qi’s side wasn’t weak, at this time, there was indeed no one who could stop Zhao Hao.
Ji Chang’s face was ashen, but he was helpless.
The entire pavilion fell into a deathly silence.
After a long silence, Ji Chang finally sighed helplessly.
“I will immediately lead the army to the North Sea to quell the rebellion.”
“Father—”
Ji Kao was shocked. He was about to say something, but Ji Chang waved his hand to stop him.
Zhao Hao nodded in satisfaction.
If Ji Chang really didn’t send his troops, Zhao Hao would be in a difficult position.
It wasn’t that Zhao Hao couldn’t capture Ji Chang, but he really didn’t dare to.
This was the flag of at least three Saints. Zhao Hao believed that once he captured Ji Chang and Ji Kao, it wouldn’t take long for someone to come and kill him to save the two.
Fortunately, although Ji Chang had calculated everything in the world, he did not know the plot of the world.
Under Zhao Hao’s pressure, he finally compromised.
On the morning of the second day, in the Shang dynasty…
Ever since Emperor Xin had started to work hard to revitalize the human race, Great Shang had changed its previous system.
Three days for a small dynasty, seven days for a big dynasty.
And today was the day of the Grand Assembly.
All of the officials were reporting the results of their work, and Emperor Xin, who was sitting at the head of the table, was extremely annoyed.
All of Great Shang’s matters, big and small, had to be summarized. In the end, it was up to him, the emperor, to decide if this would continue.
Immediately, Emperor Xin thought of the cabinet plan that he had wanted to carry out from the beginning.
Whether it was the Ming dynasty, the United Kingdom of Great Britain that almost dominated the world, or Northern Ireland…
After the ministers had finished speaking, they all looked up at Emperor Xin.
It was time for Emperor Xin to speak.
Unlike in the past, Emperor Xin did not directly assign the next stage of the mission to all the ministers. Instead, he spoke directly.
“These days, I feel that the pressure on the court is huge. I want to build a cabinet to manage the court. My dear ministers, is there any objection to this?”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the officials went into an uproar.
As the head of the civil officials, Shang Rong was the first to step forward and ask.
“May I ask Your Majesty, what is the cabinet?”
He had never heard of such a term before. Even with Shang Rong’s vast knowledge, he could not understand it.
Emperor Xin had already mentally sorted out the general situation of the cabinet system, so he immediately said, “The cabinet system means that the matters of the court will not be reported to me. Instead, it will be handed over to a few cabinet ministers that I have selected. They will review and give their opinions on how to deal with most matters before reporting to me. If I agree, I’ll immediately issue the necessary funds. If I don’t, I’ll send them back for the cabinet ministers to discuss again.”
Emperor Xin explained for more than ten minutes before he told everyone the general situation of the cabinet system.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Many people’s eyes even began to shine.
The position of cabinet’s Assistant Minister was no less powerful than the current Prime Minister, Shang Rong.
Moreover, Emperor Xin’s meaning was clear. The cabinet’s Assistant Minister was made up of many officials.
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Di Xin ordered people to send the cabinet building regulations that had been prepared long ago to all the ministers.
Who knew that the first line of the imperial edict would read:
The Holy Emperor rules the world.
Then, he took out the “Ten Thoughts on Remonstrating Taizong” that Wei Zheng had written to Tang Taizong, but it had been slightly modified by Di Xin.
Thinking about it, Hong Zi had nine virtues. He could do whatever he wanted, but he had to follow the good choice. The wise ones would do their best, the brave ones would do their best, the benevolent ones would reap the benefits, and the faithful ones would be loyal. Civil and military officials fought, when the sovereign and officials had nothing to do, they could enjoy the pleasure of traveling, singing the zither and bowing, without words.
I’ve heard that the elder who seeks wood must strengthen his Foundation; Those who want to flow far must destroy the source of the spring; Those who think of the peace of the country must accumulate virtue and righteousness. The source is not deep, but the flow is far away. The root is not solid, but the tree is strong. The virtue is not strong, but the country’s rule is missed. Although I’m foolish, I know it’s impossible, but can I not be wise?
Thinking about it, Hong Zi had nine virtues. He could do whatever he wanted, but he had to follow the good choice. The wise ones would do their best, the brave ones would do their best, the benevolent ones would reap the benefits, and the faithful ones would be loyal. Civil and military officials fought, when the sovereign and officials had nothing to do, they could enjoy the pleasure of traveling, singing the zither and bowing, without words. Why bother to think so hard, to take over the duties, to serve the eyes and ears of the wise, to waste the great Dao of Inaction!
…
The officials of Great Shang could accept that they were idle, exiled, and beheaded.
However, they couldn’t accept the fact that the Human Emperor was dispirited and had nothing to do.
Therefore, Emperor Xin wanted to establish a cabinet and have a peaceful life.
He had to intimidate these ministers with his thoughts and words.
As expected, Wei Zheng’s eternal admonishments directly intimidated the officials.
Even if this article was changed beyond recognition by Di Xin, using it to admonish the officials also had the effect of intimidating the people.
“Today, I will form a cabinet. Bi Gan, Wei Ziqi, Shang Rong, Wen Zhong, Fei Zhong, and You Hun will be the first cabinet ministers to deal with the state affairs on my behalf. Do you have any objections?”
The ministers and officials were all shocked.
Wen Zhong was the first to react as he immediately stepped out and said, “Your Majesty, you can’t.”
This internal cabinet system, no matter how one looked at it, was weakening the emperor’s power to a great extent.
All of the officials looked at Wen Zhong, especially Fei Zhong and You Hun—their eyes were about to pop out. How could they lose the great power that they were about to obtain just like that?
Without waiting for them to speak, Wen Zhong continued. “Your Majesty, it’s complete nonsense for the Sacred Son of Heaven to rule with the help of others. This is all nonsense from those ministers with unfathomable motives who are trying to swallow up the Royal power. Your cabinet system—”
Just as Wen Zhong was about to declare his position, he was stopped by Di Xin.
In this world, how could a human emperor who could not cultivate talk about royal power?
Ignoring Wen Zhong, Di Xin looked at the officials and said, “What do the ministers think?”
Fei Zhong instantly understood and stepped out of Gao Han’s ranks.
“Your Majesty, great foresight!”
With the two of them taking the lead, the other officials naturally followed.
“Your Majesty is wise!”
Wen Zhong was rendered speechless.
The remaining three people, Bi Gan, Shang Rong, and Wei Ziqi, were still thinking.
There was no problem with this system.
On the contrary, if they were the first cabinet members, it would greatly increase the speed at which Great Shang dealt with various matters. Since Emperor Xin had said it himself, they had no reason to object.
