Lu Xiufu and others were surprised when they heard this.

Wang Wenfu said: "Your Majesty, you just said that the Minister of the Shou Pavilion is in charge of all the affairs of the country?"

Zhao Dongting smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"I have objections!"

Wang Wenfu immediately said: "If there is a monarch in the state, how can others take charge of the affairs of the country? In this way, how can you maintain your prestige?"

Chen Wenlong and others also looked at Zhao Dongting in surprise.

When they wanted to come, the emperor wanted to be lazy again.

The emperor is good at everything, but he is too generous. Or in other words, he is too lazy.

This time it was a bit too much.

The education they received since childhood made them unable to accept Zhao Dongting's idea. In their opinion, this is likely to bring unstable factors to the Song Dynasty.

Of course, their concerns are not redundant.

If Zhao Dongting just let go of everything, things like "incorporating a yellow robe" will inevitably happen in the future.

As long as the prestige of the minister of the head cabinet exceeds that of the emperor, it is very likely that the emperor will be replaced.

Zhao Dongting still smiled, "Your dear, please listen to me! I plan to introduce a term system at this Mingjingtai Conference. All officials in our dynasty will be once in three years. Except for those who have to be demoted by corruption and abuse of power, the rest will be given a major test every three years. Cabinet officials and court officials will be re-elected from the Mingjingtai, while the rest will be held for a major test, promotion, relocation, demotion, etc., all subject to the major test results. One person is re-elected for two terms in the same official position and five terms in the same official position."

Lu Xiufu and others didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

They were already surprised that Zhao Dongting had set up a mirror platform before, but now, Zhao Dongting's method is even more advanced than before.

The election of important officials of the cabinet with the Mingjing platform, and then the administration of important officials of the cabinet has never appeared in previous dynasties.

It seems that Mingjingtai shared the responsibility of selecting and appointing ministers for the emperor, while the cabinet shared the responsibility of governing government affairs for the emperor.

The emperor himself was relieved.

However, there seems to be no loopholes in this arrangement.

Finally, Wang Wenfu asked, "Then what do you usually do, yourselves?"

Zhao Dongting said: "I have grasped the main development direction of the Song Dynasty, supervised the cabinet, and then managed the Mingjingtai."

Lu Xiufu smiled bitterly, "The emperor means that all the specific state affairs are handed over to the cabinet for handling?"

Zhao Dongting said: "I am just a mortal. Even if I am diligent in government affairs, how many government affairs can I handle in one day? Moreover, if I decide on state affairs in one sentence, I will inevitably make mistakes."

He sighed softly, "I also know the importance of imperial power, but for the future development of the Song Dynasty, I must hand over the power. The Song Dynasty needs all my dear friends and I to work together to manage and develop!"

Lu Xiufu and others all had complicated expressions.

They also felt that Zhao Dongting was right now, but it was still difficult to accept for a while.

Zhao Dongting said again: "Although I am old now, how can I wait for me to grow old? Who can guarantee that the successor will be a wise king? With a mirror platform and a cabinet, there will be no situation where an emperor will destroy a country if he is incompetent. I will never want to see the iron hooves breaking the mountains and rivers again."

There was no sound in the house for a long time.

After a while, Lu Xiufu said: "Your Majesty, I think... the system of the ministers in the head cabinet should be implemented first before making a decision?"

He wanted to first see if the term system could select absolutely reliable cabinet ministers for the Song Dynasty.

Only Mingjingtai can choose an absolutely reliable cabinet minister. In this way, the emperor will not cause any chaos after decentralizing the power to handle state affairs.

He could not guarantee that everyone could be like the people they are now, and that they could work hard for the Song Dynasty, but future officials may not necessarily have this kind of awareness.

After all, they came through the smoke of war and experienced the most difficult time in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting was not in a hurry to remove all the burden, and nodded, "It's good."

He also wanted to first try whether the term system could be successfully implemented in the Song Dynasty.

This advanced idea was implemented in the Song Dynasty, and it could only be regarded as crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Lu Xiufu said again: "Does the emperor plan to propose a term system at this Mingjingtai Conference?"

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, and then he remembered that it was May and it was about to hold the Mingjingtai Conference. Then he nodded, "No need to delay, let's bring it up this time!"

Then he said: "From this time, the Mingjing Platform Conference will be changed to once every three years! It will inevitably delay the Mingjing's time."

"The Emperor's Holy Spirit."

Wen Qingshu, who had been in the crowd, heard this and suddenly a word came out.

She actually wanted to bring up this matter a long time ago, but Zhao Dongting has never been in the palace.

These days, those who are not well developed, are too far from Changsha, and those who are too far away from Changsha spend most of the year rushing.
