Chapter 742 Politics

Emperor Jiajing heard the news of Huo Tao's sudden illness and death in Zhilu of Wuyi Palace when he was discussing Taoism with Tao Zhongwen, the real teacher of the state.

For this reason, Emperor Jiajing stopped his Taoism homework and was stunned for a while.

The death of every person close to him would touch Emperor Jiajing's heart once. Huo Tao was also considered to be the first group of people reused by Emperor Jiajing after he ascended the throne, and it has been more than twenty years.

So far, the Yili faction that was promoted more than [-] years ago has all disappeared.

Emperor Jiajing said to Tao Zhongwen, "Why haven't you made any progress in practicing recently?"

Tao Zhongwen thought of Qin's entrustment, and after careful consideration, he said, "It's because your Majesty takes care of everything every day."

This means to imply that too many official duties will affect the cultivation of immortals.

According to Qin Dewei's past instructions and Tao Zhongwen's own principles, although he assisted and praised Xuanxiu by Emperor Jiajing's side, he would not get involved in politics at all.

By the side of Emperor Jiajing, it is actually the safest not to be involved in government affairs. This is also the experience of Shao Yuanjie, the previous national teacher, who died well.

But Qin Dewei had a new idea, and Tao Zhongwen had to break the precept to take a little risk and say something outside of Taoism.

Moreover, Duan Chaoyong, a newly-emerged alchemist, also said that Emperor Jiajing didn't particularly respond to asking the emperor to practice in seclusion for a few years.

So Tao Zhongwen also guided in this direction a little bit, and it should be within the safety line.

Although Emperor Jiajing was obsessed with cultivating immortals, he was unwilling to delegate power. For example, he basically had to read the memorials, and he had to personally summon the officials of Wuyi Hall for important matters.

These affairs have indeed greatly "disturbed" the cultivation of Taoism, especially recently there have been a lot of border affairs, and there are frequent urgent documents for six hundred miles, which frequently interrupt Emperor Jiajing's cultivation of Taoism.

Especially the two experiences of being woken up from the fourth watch made Emperor Jiajing even more upset.

After contemplating for a while, Emperor Jiajing said: "In the future, the time for reviewing the memorials can be concentrated in the middle of the night without interrupting the daytime practice."

Tao Zhongwen naturally couldn't express his opinion, and the emperor said what he said.

It's just that the ministers who enter the Zhiwuyi Palace will have to work harder in the future. They may be summoned by the emperor for inquiries in the middle of the night, or receive a small note written by the emperor in the middle of the night, so they can only stay up late to reply to the post.

Then I heard Emperor Jiajing say: "For example, rushing official documents, which disturb the cultivation of the Tao the most, so what should I do?"

Urgent official documents are generally urgent events such as enemy situations, disasters, rebellions, and civil upheavals, and the court must respond as soon as possible.

According to regulations, urgent official documents should be sent to the emperor as soon as possible.

Especially in the six hundred li rush, even in the middle of the night, the emperor had to wake up to watch. Yan Song did this twice a while ago, which left a deep impression on Emperor Jiajing.

It can be seen from the official document process that the urgent official document disturbed the emperor's cultivation of immortality most seriously.

For example, in the middle of praying to heaven, suddenly there is an urgent document, do you want to stand up and read it?
However, urgent official documents involved sensitive and urgent matters, and Emperor Jiajing was reluctant to completely delegate power.

Tao Zhongwen replied very emotionally: "This kind of thing is not something that a human minister can do on his own, and it is not good to entrust it to the gentlemen of the cabinet. Others are even more unbearable. Only the capable ones can work harder!"

Of course, it cannot be entirely entrusted to the cabinet. Although Emperor Jiajing expanded the power of the cabinet, he has been guarding against the exclusive power of the cabinet at the same time.

In this kind of emergency response involving wars, disasters, and civil upheavals, there are too many tricks available.

However, after hearing Tao Zhenren say that "others are even more unbearable", Emperor Jiajing suddenly remembered that when the news of Alda's invasion came two months ago, Qin Dewei had asked to set up some kind of military aircraft office in Wenyuan Pavilion for efficient Respond to military emergencies.

At that time, Emperor Jiajing was in a fit of anger, and thought that Qin Dewei was completely disregarding the overall situation and only knew about fighting for power and profit. Even in such an emergency, he did not forget to seize power from the cabinet, and almost hit Qin Dewei with the imperial staff.

Looking back now, setting up a separate military aircraft department in Wenyuan Pavilion, which is different from the cabinet, seems to be an excellent organizational structure?

The cabinet ministers enter the Zhiwuyi Palace and are responsible for the operation of government affairs; the Military Aircraft Department is located in Wenyuan Pavilion, which is specially used to deal with urgent official documents.

In the future, urgent official documents can be sent to the Military Aircraft Department first, and after the handling opinions are drawn up, they can be submitted to the imperial court, and then issued to the cabinet for review.

In this way, the emperor's energy can be greatly saved, and the emperor will not be disturbed every time he presses up on official documents.Moreover, it is difficult to deal with it on the spot after the interruption is over, and I will disturb the emperor again after I have a complete handling opinion.

At this time, Emperor Jiajing had already considered further reducing the energy used to deal with official affairs. In addition to making it easier for himself, preventing ministers from taking advantage of the opportunity to monopolize power was the top priority.

Therefore, besides reducing the burden on the emperor, the second advantage of setting up the Military Aircraft Department is that it can check and balance with the cabinet, so that no one party will form a monopoly, which makes Emperor Jiajing very excited.

From the perspective of the current personnel, Qin Dewei of Wenyuan Pavilion has a strong adaptability and is good at making plans on the fly, which is suitable for the nature of the Military Aircraft Department.

Xia Yan, Yan Song, and Qin Dewei were at odds, and the cabinet was enough to prevent Qin Dewei from taking the opportunity to mess around.

Of course, any change in the organizational structure cannot be achieved overnight, especially a top-level change like the addition of a military aircraft department.

Today, Emperor Jiajing just had a preliminary idea because he was tired of government affairs and under Tao Zhenren's deliberate guidance.

If Yan Song knew that his behavior of waking Emperor Jiajing from his sleep twice might be the direct reason why Emperor Jiajing came up with the idea of ​​setting up a military plane, would Yan Song faint in the toilet?

Before Tao Zhongwen left, he thought for a while and said to Emperor Jiajing: "If your Majesty wants to change, you might as well read the history books, there are naturally lessons from the past."

Emperor Jiajing, who prided himself on his power and strategy, always liked to read history books. He didn't need to turn the books, and several similar examples immediately popped up in his mind, such as the anecdote that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up a Shangshutai besides the prime minister.

From the perspective of the king's rule, these examples seem to be mostly successful examples. In the term after 500 years, they all further strengthened the "absolute monarchy".

Thinking of this, Emperor Jiajing suddenly felt that the establishment of a military aircraft department had great potential, at least it would not get worse.

Tao Zhongwen came out of the hall, and also secretly wiped his sweat.

As the saying goes, companions are like companions to tigers, especially for a suspicious emperor like Emperor Jiajing, every word must be carefully considered, so as not to make Emperor Jiajing suspicious.

Even though the performances and answers just now were very calm, in fact Tao Zhongwen had already put his life to the test, all because of Qin Dewei's entrustment.

Tao Zhenren, who walked out of Renshou Palace, secretly made up his mind that he would never discuss politics with Emperor Jiajing again, and just be a pure magician honestly.

Politics are all played by people like Qin Dewei, it's better for ordinary people to avoid it!
