Liu Wen'an was still persuading in a low voice: "The servant also knows that the empress is afraid that the people below will not do things properly, and that there will be troubles, so she wants to do everything by herself."
"But ma'am, don't even think about it. You only have one hand and one head. How can you take everything into your own hands? If the people below do not do things properly, you should scold and punish them. The rewards and punishments are clear." That's right. It's enough to say it once and say it twice, and it's enough to do it twice. You have to let them learn to deal with it by themselves, it may be tiring at the beginning, and the empress will relax later. "
"Just like what happened today, you don't have to talk about such details at all, what is reduced, what is the seller of utensils. You just need to tell the Ministry of Rites that too much money is spent, and let them figure out their own way. Then let the householder Just let Taifu Temple supervise it..."
Yun Chang doesn't know these truths, but it's easy to say, but difficult to do.
There are many times when I see that the people below don’t seem to understand what I mean no matter how I instruct them, and it is difficult to meet my wishes after doing it several times, so I think, it’s better to do it myself, it seems to be faster.
She also knew it was wrong, but she couldn't control herself a lot of the time.
"I see, I will pay attention to it in the future."
Liu Wen'an laughed: "Your Majesty is already learning how to delegate power. Two days ago, His Majesty was still telling the slaves that he intends to form a cabinet."
"Form a cabinet?"
Liu Wen'an nodded: "Actually, it has something to do with what happened to my empress last time. Your Majesty felt that when he left the palace for a few days, a lot of political affairs in the court and China piled up, and many urgent needs to be resolved have not been resolved."
"Your Majesty thought, maybe if there is a cabinet, it will be much better."
Yun Shang frowned slightly: "But the cabinet..."
Liu Wen'an only heard Yun Chang's opening, and knew what she was thinking, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty thinks that if the cabinet is too powerful, it will be difficult to control it, right?"
Yun Chang pursed her lips lightly, didn't nod, but didn't shake her head either, with a completely tacit attitude.
It is not that in the past dynasties of countries there were no cabinets.
Cabinet officials accompanied the emperor, participated in the review of memorials and the decision-making of confidential affairs.
Later, the cabinet gradually emptied the emperor's power, and gradually began to win over the courtiers. The chief minister who presided over the cabinet was even more powerful, and even directly seized the throne...
It was also because of seizing the throne that the emperor understood better that he could not delegate power to the cabinet, so he gradually reduced the power of the cabinet, and after several twists and turns, the cabinet was removed.
"If the cabinet is not well controlled, it may have too much power. But my lady, don't forget that the cabinet is not a real authority. It is just a temporary agency composed of several ministers belonging to different agencies in the court and the central government to assist His Majesty in handling government affairs."
"The promotion and promotion of cabinet ministers is ultimately determined by His Majesty, and the power of the cabinet is also determined according to His Majesty's will. Whether the cabinet's opinions and resolutions are finally passed depends on His Majesty's approval..."
Liu Wen'an smiled: "For such a thing to happen, there must be one most important prerequisite, that is, His Majesty's inaction and cowardice, which led to the result of the courtiers controlling government affairs."
"In fact, if His Majesty is really so incompetent, no matter whether there is a cabinet or not, such a result may be inevitable."
Liu Wen'an looked at Yunshang: "Your Majesty, do you think that the cabinet is in His Majesty's hands and under His Majesty's control, so is it possible for such a situation to happen?"
Naturally it is impossible.
Although Yunshang didn't answer, Liu Wen'an knew the answer: "So, empress, don't worry about this."
"Similarly, in the minds of the slaves, the empress is also a decisive person, a deterrent and decisive superior, and can also firmly hold the people below in her hands. Let them go east. Don't dare to go west..."
When Yun Chang heard this, she couldn't help laughing again: "Okay, if you continue to boast like this, I'm afraid I'm going to be in a trance. I know, I'll come down and think about what I should do."
"yes."
Liu Wen'an clicked to stop, and turned away the conversation with a smile: "By the way, I almost forgot the serious business. Your Majesty asked the slave to come back to pass a message to the empress."
"Your Majesty said that he should be able to come here soon, let the empress pass the meal first."
"okay, I get it."
Waiting for Luo Qingyan to return to the Taiji Hall, Yunshang didn't mention anything about the cabinet at all, but only talked about the preparations for the Longevity Festival: "The ministers and concubines have seen the memorial of the Ministry of Rites, and the ostentation is not small. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to do it this way."
"Your Majesty, why don't you let people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and Taifu Temple participate in the preparations for this Longevity Festival, and let them discuss how to save money and make this Longevity Festival a grand one. After all, this is also The first Longevity Day since His Majesty ascended the throne, it can't be too shabby, too shabby, I'm afraid it will make people laugh."
Luo Qingyan didn't have any opinion: "Okay, you decide, let Liu Wen'an tell them later."
Yunshang returned to Weiyang Palace from Taiji Hall, and as soon as she sat down, Qian Zhuo came in and reported: "The empress asked to inquire about Cao's opponents, but she has already found out."
"Lord Cao has been an official in the court for decades, and the most troublesome one in the court is the Sun family."
"The two families don't know why there is a grudge. It's just that the two adults are tit-for-tat everywhere above the court.
"Later, Mr. Cao found out some mistakes Mr. Sun had made in government affairs, and wrote a letter to the Supreme Emperor, who decreed to relegate Mr. Sun, and punished Mr. Sun to Xiyang City in the south."
"Thus, the entire Sun family moved to Xiyang City. The Sun family has taken root in Xiyang City, and its influence in Xiyang City cannot be underestimated."
"I heard that it is precisely because of this that the Cao family's business is spread all over the Xia Kingdom. Only in Xiyang City, there is no Cao family's business name."
Yun Chang tapped her fingers on the table: "Excellent, let's go to Xiyang City."
"Um?"
Yun Shang said such a sentence suddenly, but Qian Zhuo didn't react.
"What did you say about Xiyang City?"
"Shoot Cao Yi's wives, concubines, children, and servants unconscious, stuff them into the carriage, quietly send them to Xiyang City, and send them to Sun's residence, saying that they are gifts for them, and let them handle them .”
