If this system was passed, it would become a written rule. If the king dared to act recklessly again, he would inevitably encounter resistance from the officials.
Sheng Boyuan only said that this system could restrict the officials, but he did not mention that it was actually to protect the officials.
The Empress Dowager knew that this system was actually very good. If she was an official and not the Empress Dowager, she would definitely support it. However, for the sake of the king's power, she was unwilling to agree to this draft.
After a long while, the Empress Dowager sighed softly and said, "He is so young. Where did he get such talent from? Some of these things, just talent alone is not enough. He must have rich experience."
Sheng Boyuan said, "There is a great mystery in the Sacred Burial Valley. The human race can go to the Book Hill to train, so the other races must have their own ways of training. Perhaps Fang Yun has obtained great luck and experienced things that we have never experienced before. Therefore, it is normal for him to know the facts of the world. "
"Fang Yun is really lucky."
The Empress Dowager's tone was full of unwillingness because these days, she had been thinking about why Fang Yun, who had only regarded politics as a stepping stone on the Holy Path, was suddenly obsessed with power.
Could it be that he had some secret reason?
The Empress Dowager glanced at the draft and said, "How long can we stop this?"
Sheng Boyuan looked troubled and said, "If you try your best to stop it, I will naturally do my best. However, this is Fang Xusheng's first official draft and first reform after the ten rainbows across the sky. Moreover, it is the Ministry of Personnel that is directly under him. If we stop it, I am afraid it will cause a strong backlash. "
"Is this Jingguo already surnamed Fang?!" The Empress Dowager's voice was full of anger.
Jing Jun shrank his neck slightly, panicking and nervous.
Sheng Boyuan was silent.
"Sheng Boyuan, what do you think we should do?"
Sheng Boyuan thought for a long time and said, "In my humble opinion, at this moment, Fang Yun has the power of ten rainbows and the power of Notre-Dame. We can't fight against him. Why don't we take a step back and choose one of the future drafts to fight against? Let the officials know that Fang Yun can't cover the sky. "
"Is the only thing the royal family can do about the Fang Fate?"
"I am guilty." Sheng Boyuan's mouth was full of fear, but his heart was full of helplessness. Wasn't this the truth?
While the various parties were reviewing and evaluating the reform draft, the Left Prime Minister's Office had already begun to work on many proposals or drafts.
The second draft was to change the names of the cabinet officials. The cabinet ministers and cabinet advisors would not change, but the cabinet advisors would be changed to cabinet secretaries.
In the draft, Fang Yun did not directly name the specific model of the cabinet centralization system. He only used ambiguous words to strengthen the power of the cabinet councilors and cabinet secretaries. For example, in special times or when the cabinet ministers could not reach an agreement, the cabinet councilors and cabinet secretaries were obliged to participate in the discussion and make decisions together with the cabinet ministers.
In fact, the Cabinet Advisors in Jingguo were all high-ranking officials. Those who could be Cabinet Secretaries were the backbone of the Cabinet. They could influence the Cabinet's decisions, so this draft was not too radical.
The third draft was also an improvement on the basis of the original law. That was the system of officials being appointed in different places. In fact, during the Qin Dynasty, there was a similar system of circumvention. Fang Yun was just perfecting it.
The fourth draft was about the term of office of officials. The term of office was five years. Since there were eighteen ranks of officials, they could be promoted by two ranks every five years. At the same time, if they made a great contribution during wartime, they could obtain the Notre-Dame's special permission to relax their terms.
Although the first draft had not been officially passed, Fang Yun did not wait. He sent copies of the later drafts to the officials who had been promoted by the cabinet to ask for their opinions.
Time slowly passed, and Fang Yun began to work without sleep. He continued to personally draft various reform drafts.
Under normal circumstances, Fang Yun would first draft the first draft. After discussing with the cabinet officials, he would make changes to form the second draft. He would then copy it to the cabinet ministers. After receiving feedback, he would form the third draft. He would then send it to the cabinet ministers. After receiving feedback again, he would form the fourth draft. He would then send the fourth draft to the Empress Dowager and Jing Jun to form the fifth draft. Finally, he would send it to the Imperial Court to discuss and form the sixth draft.
But in reality, except for a few drafts, most of the drafts had been changed more than ten times. Some of the later drafts had already been implemented, but the earlier drafts had not been passed.
Most of the time, the reform of the Imperial Court took place step by step. But in Fang Yun's hands, it changed.
Fang Yun proposed at least one new draft every day. As a result, the officials of the Left Prime Minister's Office often ate and lived in the Left Prime Minister's Office. They could not return home for more than ten days.
Fang Yun's drafts had to be copied to the cabinet ministers. The ministers and subordinates of the cabinet ministers would all participate.
Therefore, all of Jingguo's mid-level and high-level officials were ordered around by Fang Yun. They spent almost half of their energy participating in the drafts.
However, many of the officials did not complain.
Firstly, this was their job. Secondly, and most importantly, for officials, participating in the formulation of policies was not a burden, but a reflection of their power and status.
Officials could be idle, but real officials were most afraid of idleness.
If they had nothing to do, it often meant that they would be eliminated and marginalized.
Therefore, the potential of all of Jingguo's mid-level and high-level officials was completely squeezed out by Fang Yun. As government orders were issued, Jingguo operated at a terrifying speed.
However, what the officials could not understand was that Fang Yun's drafts involved all aspects of the country. They were completely beyond the limits of an official or even a scholar. But they also knew that with the abilities of the Left Prime Minister's Office, it was impossible for them to do this. It could only be Fang Yun's work.
Therefore, an important effect of the large number of drafts was that, regardless of whether Fang Yun's drafts affected the officials' interests, almost all of the officials sincerely admired Fang Yun's ability.
All of the officials who participated in the discussion of the drafts were at least Jinshi. Most of the drafts were classified. For example, the drafts related to laws and regulations were mainly handled by the officials of the Ministry of Justice. If the Prefecture Overseer received a draft, he would not gather his subordinates and aides. He would only write his own opinions and suggestions and send them to the Left Prime Minister's Office.
However, if it involved civil affairs, the Ministry of Justice would not spend too much time. It was mainly handled by the Ministry of Revenue and various officials.
Therefore, although the officials were busy, they only dealt with a portion of the drafts.
The Left Prime Minister's Office was different. It had to deal with all the drafts. Therefore, the number of members of the Left Prime Minister's Office was constantly increasing. Of the increasing number of members, half were officials of the Fang Party, and the other half were officials without party insignia but were especially capable.
In this regard, Fang Yun not only sent letters to ask for advice, he even sent letters to Mount Liu to ask for advice on how to choose capable officials. Mount Liu did not hide anything and sincerely gave advice.
There were too many people, and the residences near the Left Prime Minister's Office were all occupied.
The Left Prime Minister's Office quickly proposed a draft to relocate the cabinet. This draft was quickly approved, and the Ministry of Works began to build a new cabinet office near the Imperial Palace.
Not only were there many related drafts, they also involved many aspects. Without profound and vast knowledge, it was impossible to understand them. Even Fang Yun relied on multitasking and divine medicine to maintain himself. At the same time, he also used this opportunity to cultivate the Heavenly Ordinary Mind Splitting Technique.
