If this system is passed and becomes a written regulation, if the monarch dares to act recklessly again, he will inevitably encounter resistance from officials.
Sheng Boyuan only said that this accountability system can restrict officials, but did not mention that it is actually also protecting officials.
The Queen Mother knew that this accountability system was actually very good. If she were an official and not the Queen Mother, she would absolutely support it. However, for the sake of the monarch's power, she was unwilling to agree to this draft.
After a while, the Queen Mother sighed and said, "He is so young, how can he have such talent? For some of them, talent alone is not enough, they must have rich experience."
Sheng Boyuan said: "There are great gods in the Burial Valley. Humans can go to the Book Mountain to hone their skills. So each race must have their own way of honing their skills. Maybe Fang Yun has gained great luck and experienced things that none of us have experienced. Therefore, it is normal for him to know the truth of the world and understand all the races."
"Fang Yun is so lucky."
The Queen Mother's tone was full of reluctance, because these days she had been thinking about why Fang Yun, who had previously only regarded politics as a stepping stone to the holy path, was now suddenly obsessed with power.
Could it be that he has some secret reason
The Queen Mother glanced at the draft and said, "How long can we stop this?"
Sheng Boyuan looked embarrassed and said, "If the Queen Mother tries her best to stop it, I will naturally do my best. However, this is the first official draft and the first innovation of Fang Xusheng after the Ten Rainbows Across the Sky, and it is directly under his Ministry of Personnel. If we stop it, I am afraid it will cause a strong backlash."
"Is this Jingguo already surnamed Fang?" The Queen Mother's voice was filled with anger.
Jingjun shrank his neck slightly, panicking and nervous.
Sheng Boyuan remained silent.
"Lord Sheng, what should you do?"
Sheng Boyuan thought for a long time and said, "In my humble opinion, Fang Yun, with the power of Ten Rainbows and the might of the Holy Court, cannot be defeated. It is better to give in and choose one of the drafts in the future to fight against it, so that all officials know that Fang Yun cannot cover the sky."
"Is the royal family's only option now to 'fight' against the other party's luck?"
"I am guilty." Sheng Boyuan said in fear, but his heart was full of helplessness. Isn't this the truth
While all parties were reviewing the draft of the assessment reform, the Left Prime Minister's Cabinet had already begun working on a number of proposals or drafts.
The second draft is about the naming of cabinet officials. The four cabinet ministers and cabinet senators remain unchanged, but the cabinet walkers will be renamed cabinet scholars.
In the draft, Fang Yun did not directly name the specific model of cabinet centralization, but only used ambiguous words to strengthen the power of cabinet senators and cabinet scholars. For example, in special periods or when the cabinet ministers cannot reach a consensus, cabinet senators and cabinet scholars are obliged to participate in discussions and make decisions together with the cabinet ministers.
In fact, those who serve as cabinet councilors in Jing State are originally provincial governors, and those who can serve as cabinet scholars are the backbone of the country. They can influence the cabinet's decision-making, so this draft is not radical.
The third draft was also an improvement based on the original law, that is, the system of officials being appointed to positions in different places. In fact, there was a similar avoidance system during the Qin Dynasty, and Fang Yun simply improved it.
The fourth draft is about the term of office of officials. The term is five years. Since there are 18 ranks of officials, they can be promoted up to two ranks every five years. At the same time, it is stipulated that if an official has made great contributions in wartime, he can be granted special approval by the Holy Court to relax the term of office.
Although the first draft had not yet been formally passed, Fang Yun did not wait and successively copied the subsequent drafts to officials with the title of cabinet councilors to solicit their opinions.
As time passed, Fang Yun began to work tirelessly, constantly drafting various reform bills himself.
Under normal circumstances, Fang Yun first drafted a preliminary draft, discussed with the cabinet officials and made changes to form a second draft, which was then copied to each cabinet councilor, and after receiving feedback, a third draft was formed, which was sent to the cabinet councilors again, and after receiving feedback again, a fourth draft was formed, and then the fourth draft was handed over to the Queen Mother and King Jing to form a fifth draft. Finally, it was discussed at the court meeting to form the sixth final draft.
But in fact, except for a very small number of drafts, most drafts have been changed more than ten times. Some drafts with later numbers have been implemented as decrees, while the earlier drafts have not been passed.
In most eras, political reforms were carried out slowly step by step, but things changed in Fang Yun's hands.
Fang Yun proposed at least one new draft almost every day, so that the officials of the Zuo Xiangge often lived and ate in the Zuo Xiangge and were unable to go home for more than ten days in a row.
Fang Yun's draft will be copied to each cabinet senator, and the staff and subordinates of those cabinet senators will also be involved.
Therefore, all the middle and high-level officials of Jing State were controlled by Fang Yun and spent most of their energy on participating in the draft.
However, many officials have no complaints.
Firstly, this is their job. Secondly, and most importantly, for officials, participating in policy making is not a burden but a reflection of their power and status.
Clerks can have an idle life, but real officials fear idleness the most.
Having nothing to do often means being eliminated and marginalized.
Therefore, the potential of all the middle and high-level officials in Jing State was completely squeezed out by Fang Yun. As one decree after another was issued, Jing State operated at a terrifyingly high efficiency.
However, what officials could not understand the most was that the draft drafted by Fang Yun involved all aspects of the country, which was completely beyond the limits of an official or even any scholar. But they also knew that with the ability of the officials in the Left Prime Minister's Cabinet, it would be impossible to achieve this, and it could only be the credit of Fang Yun alone.
Therefore, an important impact of the emergence of a large number of drafts is that regardless of whether Fang Yun’s draft affects the officials’ own interests, almost all officials sincerely admire Fang Yun’s ability.
All officials who participated in the discussion of the draft were at least Jinshi, and most of the drafts were classified. For example, some drafts on legal details were mainly handled by officials from the Ministry of Justice. If the governor received the draft, he would not summon his subordinates and staff with great fanfare, but would just write some of his own opinions and suggestions and send them to the Left Prime Minister's Cabinet.
However, if it involves civil affairs, the Ministry of Justice will not spend too much time on it, as it will mainly be the responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue and local officials.
Therefore, no matter how busy those officials are, they are only dealing with part of the draft.
The Left Prime Minister's Cabinet was different in that it had to deal with all the drafts. Therefore, the number of members of the Left Prime Minister's Cabinet kept increasing, and half of the new members were officials from the Fang Party, and the other half were officials without any party imprint but with special abilities.
In this regard, Fang Yun not only sent letters to ask his friends for advice, but also sent letters to Liu Shan, asking for advice on how to select capable officials. Liu Shan did not hide his knowledge and gave sincere advice.
There were so many people that all the residences near Zuo Xiangge were occupied.
As a result, the Left Prime Minister soon proposed a draft to move the cabinet. The draft was quickly approved, and the Ministry of Works began to build a new cabinet office near the imperial palace.
There are not only many relevant draft decrees, but also they involve all aspects. Without profound and vast knowledge, it is impossible to fully understand them. Even Fang Yun relies on multitasking and magical medicine to maintain himself, and at the same time takes this opportunity to practice the Tianchang Fenshen Method.
Therefore, the people who suffer the most in Panorama Kingdom are not the officials, and the people who are the most tired are not Fang Yun, but the Queen Mother and Jing Jun.
