C3911 secret passage was also a scholar! (2/2)
First of all, there was competition between imperial power and the prime minister's power. If the prime minister's power was too great, it would also threaten the safety of Monarch!
After thousands of years of fighting, the imperial power had broken down the power of the prime minister, and in place of the cabinet system, the Ming dynasty's cabinet and the Manchu s had all split the power of a prime minister into several young prime ministers, Tongzhi, to manage the affairs of the Country!
It would also be beneficial for the Kaiser to spread power among the few little prime ministers!
But no matter what, this was still a form of separation of power, and the Emperor of Yong Zheng had carried out a bold reform of this structure! The secret passage also had a secret music system, which made the Military Secretary's position as prime minister fall to that of an ordinary minister.
The existence of the secret passage meant that no one would be able to isolate the information they had. He could control the entire Empire for twenty-four hours and he was not allowed to act arbitrarily in small matters!
After Yong Zheng, how could the Military Secretary have the authority of a little prime minister? They were merely puppets of imperial power!
The closeness of the system, in addition to allowing the localities to have a wide range of eyes and ears, made all the envoys of the territory who were not cold, who would dare to deceive the Kaiser?
Yong Zheng and dryad were the two empires of the feudal society in China, the monarch with the highest authority!
The Kaiser became more and more useless, the overseas Enemy became more and more powerful, and the internal Farmers uprisings happened one after another!
The Kaiser could no longer control the power alone, he could only spread the power to maintain the unity of the Empire!
When it came to Zai Chun, the imperial power was already diluted too much. A normal yamen could almost control six Tribes, and the Prince Kung was basically the ruler of an external dynasty!
Although the empress dowagers could restrict them, a woman would not be the one to make a marriage engagement.
Prince Kung, Prince of Alcohol, Bao Yun, Ceng Guofan, Li Hongzao, Weng Tonghe, Weng Tonghe … And so on and so forth a group of Manchu officials, basically all their duties, the right of autonomy is very high!
Did these people really wish to return to the centralization of power in the days of Yong Zheng and the dryad? This was a heart-breaking question!
Most probably, the words that came out of his mouth sounded good, but in his heart, he didn't think that way!
During Yong Zheng's most severe period, the Official was even monitored playing mahjong at night, and without anyone knowing, they could steal a card from the Official family!
At that time, which of the officials wasn't afraid? It can be said that the Kaiser told you to die at midnight, who dares to keep you here at midnight?
At that time, who would dare to imagine a Prince like the Prince Kung going against the Kaiser? He was afraid that the moment he thought about it, there would be an order to commit suicide!
Although that epoch was said to be a prosperous era, the life of a hundred officials was not as peaceful as it was now! As the power of the troops dispersed, the Kaiser had to be extremely careful even if he wanted to kill the officials. It was as if he did not dare to act rashly!
Today, Bao Yun had actually opened the secret passage! What did that mean? Could it be that he wanted to restore the system to that of the Yong Zheng era? Let the Kaiser monitor the Empire 24 hours a day?
This was the first sign of success! This, this, this... If this news were to spread out, the hearts of the officials would be as shocked as those of a tsunami!
But no matter what, Bao Yun had done it. He had done it in a way that even Tongzhi had no choice but to take him seriously!
Zai Chun looked at Bao Yun, and did not speak for a few minutes. ”Since the key is in your hands, then you can take care of it for us for a while!”
”What plans do you have for tonight's matter? Tell me in detail!”
