1100. How can it be spread endlessly?
"Yes, lord."
Chen Qun said, "The lord's power should continue to be strengthened, not dispersed."
Faced with the opposition from his subordinates, Liu Zhe did not refute it. Instead, he asked a question.
"How do you think it can be passed on endlessly?"
As soon as Liu Zhe said this, everyone present suddenly shook his body. Liu Zhe's words were too sensitive to ask. But at the same time, they were excited, for nothing, just for Liu Zhe's words.
Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian's Records of Qin Shihuang" records: "The system says: 'I am the First Emperor. Later generations count, two and three generations have reached all generations, and they are passed on endlessly."
Liu Zhe said this already means that he is considering the issue of passing the throne for future affairs.
Many people under Liu Zhe's subordinates have hoped that Liu Zhe will ascend the throne and become emperor, but given that Liu Zhe is the emperor's uncle who is today, and Liu Zhe has not shown this intention. However, in Liu Zhe's subordinates are already looking forward to that day.
And now Liu Zhe said this means that he wants to take that step?
Without waiting for them to answer, Liu Zhe continued: "From Qin Shihuang to Emperor Gaozu of Han, and then to Emperor Guangwu, let alone for thousands of years, it will not work even for a hundred years."
“What is the reason?”
"The power is dispersed? The world is turbulent? The people rebelled? None of them, they all depend on one person."
"The emperor is wise and the officials under his jurisdiction are honest and honest, and the world will be peaceful and peaceful. The emperor is stupid, and the officials will be corrupt and abuse the law and bully the people, and then the world will be in turmoil, and finally they will rise up one after another."
"All the kings under the world are kings, and all the kings are kings and ministers in the world. The emperor is rich in all the world and has infinite power. There will be more people who covet the throne. Once the world is turbulent, ambitious families will continue to emerge, aggravate the turbulence in the world and covet the throne."
"The emperor's power is gone, and the people below have power, and they will have ambitions. Once ambition is released, it will expand infinitely."
"The emperor is wise and has great power, and the world will be stable. The emperor is stupid and the power will fall apart early, and the world will be lost in the end."
"The descendants will always have one or two unfilial descendants, and this foundation will be ruined."
"So, I hope that a system can be established so that at least in the future, this foundation can be preserved when the descendants are not virtuous."
Liu Zhe's words made everyone present look serious.
Liu Zhe's words meant very clearly, and this is for the future.
At the same time, they also understood that by this time, Liu Zhe had to change the system implemented now, so that the power in Liu Zhe could play a better role.
"Lord, this matter needs to be discussed more and carried out slowly, and we cannot be quick and we should make a quick move."
Changing the system and using a new way of doing things is not just about patting your head and thinking about it casually.
It needs to be discussed, verified, and trialled on a small scale. In the end, it can only be promoted on a large scale. Otherwise, changing it casually will only cause chaos. Everyone understands the disadvantages of changing every day.
“This is natural.”
Liu Zhe nodded, and he also understood that this matter cannot be done overnight, and it will take a long time to complete it.
"You need to discuss this matter, then verify it more and improve it." Liu Zhe said.
"I can create a new department, and I will decide the people in this department to handle government affairs for me."
Liu Zhe advised his subordinates. This is the method he thought about in more than half a month. He drew on the foreign political system seen in later generations on TV. Only if it is applicable or not, it still needs verification and improvement.
Xun Yu asked, "Like the General Staff?"
"That's right."
Liu Zhe nodded and said, "This department is at the same level as the General Staff Department, but it is only responsible for government affairs and does not involve military affairs."
Liu Zhe established the General Staff very early, with the original intention of following the General Staff in later generations to command wars. However, it was discovered that in this era, communication was not developed, and it was impossible to be responsible for command remotely. So he dispelled that idea and gradually gave the General Staff more functions, which was equivalent to helping Liu Zhe manage the army.
"The people in this department are only responsible to me, and the appointment must be subject to my consent to take effect..."
Liu Zhe gave his subordinates some reference opinions, asking them to think about it, and let them help Liu Zhe come up with a more effective system.
Liu Zhe only has a few requirements for this system. First, it must be efficient. His current territory is not small. If you are slow to do things, it will take several days or even months to complete one thing. It is possible that if the thing is done in the end, the meaning will be gone. Second, on the basis of ensuring Liu Zhe's power, delegate power so that the people below have more autonomy, but also prevent the abuse of power and avoid rebellion or deceiving subordinates and concealing the superiors.
After the explanation was completed, everyone left. During the meeting, Liu Xin broke in with her three nieces.
"Teacher!"
Liu Xin took Liu Jing, Liu Wan and Liu Ting to salute Cai Yong.
"Um!"
Chapter completed!
