Private property is sacred and inviolable. This is good for everyone. Don't worry about the emperor taking other people's things into his own with a word. Everyone naturally has no objection to this. The focus of the dispute is the prince breaking the law and the common people committing the same crime.
Everyone worked desperately to help Liu Xin fight the world. It was nothing more than trying to make a wife and shame, to live a good life as a master, and to become a privileged class of the big man. Even Chen Gong, who has always been upright, can't avoid the vulgarity. Now the prince has committed the same crime with the common people, not to mention their children and grandchildren.
The Kuai family was one of the first noble families to follow Liu Xin, so many of the children of the Kuai family served as officials in the dynasty. When Kuai Yue heard about this, he stood up first and said loudly: "We should speak to your Majesty, this is very inappropriate!"
Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and others all echoed. In fact, there is no one in the Guo Jia clan, but Tang Xian has just given birth to him a son, but he is very tight.
Seeing the crowd clamoring, Jushou got up and said, "Don’t panic, everyone. Your Majesty’s move is also for the good of everyone, and also to prevent the children from arrogant and extravagant, and ultimately ruining the future. Ju thinks that everyone can add a clause to the articles ."
Chen Gong frowned and asked, "Which one do you mean to add?"
Jushou looked at the charter that everyone had just drawn up, and nodded, "Didn't your Majesty let us draw up our respective responsibilities? Why don't we add one. All the edicts and laws issued by your Majesty in the future must be reviewed by the cabinet."
Cheng Yu hesitated and said: "This is too harsh. Will your Majesty agree?"
Tian Feng waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty said to Tian a long time ago that power should not be excessively concentrated in the hands of the emperor. Your Majesty asked us to draw up these regulations. Tian thought that was what he meant. I think he will agree. ."
Kuai Yue frowned and said, "Then can this new law be changed?"
Jushou shook his head and said, "Your Majesty Jinkouyuyan, how can things that have been issued can be easily changed? Everyone should go back and take care of their children."
The next day came the meeting time every three days. There were cabinet scholars and six Shangshu who participated in the meeting. Naturally, the content of the discussion was the regulations that they worked hard to draw up.
In fact, the cabinet and the six ministries have been in operation for some time, and their respective responsibilities are quite clear, as long as some minor adjustments are needed. Therefore, the focus of the discussion is on the respective powers of the emperor, the cabinet and the six ministries.
Liu Xin couldn't help laughing after reading the articles of association they had submitted. In this charter, with the exception of the cabinet for issuing laws and edicts in the future, almost everything else must be approved by Liu Xin.
This charter is very different from Liu Xin’s original intention. Liu Xin shook his head and said, “Don’t put any power on my head. I have an opinion. Regarding the appointment and dismissal of officials, I only decide on the cabinet bachelor’s degree, six Shangshu and You can appoint and dismiss the officers and deputies of the major corps, and you only need to appoint and remove the other officials in accordance with their respective duties. In addition, in addition to deciding on foreign campaigns, you also exercise other functions.
Seeing this charter, Liu Xin finally understood why Ming Jun in ancient times was so tired, because the power was concentrated on him alone, so naturally he needed to do more things.
The ministers were still worried about Liu Xin's dissatisfaction with their opinions. Now Liu Xin has delegated so much power to them. Naturally, everyone has no objections and nodded in agreement.
In fact, this is also an important step for Liu Xin to restrict imperial power. The ministers can think of Liu Xin's negotiation through the cabinet before issuing laws and edicts, which is already a big step forward. However, the ministers obviously did not think so well. They were relieved to see that Liu Xin did not object to the policy restricting him, so Liu Xin's proposal was quickly approved.
Three days later, at the next court meeting, the statutes written by the ministers were passed, and the emperor's power was greatly weakened. The appointment of officials from the prefecture and guards is determined by the cabinet, and there is no need to request Liu Xin.
However, Liu Xin's control over the army is firmly in his own hands. As long as the military power of the major legions is in his own hands, the regime will be stable.
A few days later, Liu Xin held a prisoner offering ceremony in Taimiao.
