The state of a prairie fire illuminated his entire eyes, and his eyes were so bright that it was shocking.

Mu Qingwan waited for him to finish reading it all, then pointed to the picture of the Three Provinces and Six Parts System and said slowly:

"Isn't the emperor always worried about Prime Minister Yun's monopolizing power and threatening the imperial power? The biggest feature of this three-province and six-ministry system is that it can decentralize the power of the prime minister and concentrate the imperial power. It divides the power of the prime minister into three parts. In the center, there is the Zhongshu Province and the Shangshu Province.

Each of the three provinces performs their own duties and restrains each other, which not only prevents the exclusive power of foreign relatives, but also prevents the local forces from splitting and separatism. The responsibilities of the six ministries of officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and work set up under the Shangshu Province

There is a clear division of labor, which is also conducive to the emperor's centralization of power and the implementation of government decrees, allowing the emperor to regain power as soon as possible."

Xia Houlie's eyes narrowed and he studied the structural diagram carefully. "Looking at the distribution of powers and responsibilities among the three central provinces, it seems that Zhongshu and the two provincial ministers are the actual ones in power?"

"That's right. Among the three provinces, Zhongshu Province is responsible for discussing the drafting of bills with the emperor and drafting imperial edicts, while Menxia Province is responsible for reviewing the content of the edict and returning it to Zhongshu Province according to the situation. In this way, officials from these two provinces

A kind of containment effect is formed between them, and the emperor does not need to suppress any party, but only needs to mediate in the middle to balance the forces of both sides. In this way, the power in the court actually returns to the emperor."

Xia Houlie frowned, "This system is good, but how can those old thieves in Yun Lanshan easily allow me to implement such a new system? Those old diehards in the court will definitely obstruct it in every possible way."

Mu Qingwan went to the side and poured two cups of tea, gave one cup to Xia Houlie, took a cup herself and took a sip, and then said:

"Reforms carried out in every dynasty have to pay a price, and it does not happen overnight, so the emperor must not act too hastily. The emperor first has a bottom line in his heart. Later, Qingwan will see the right time to remind the emperor how to operate. What the emperor needs to consider now is to support the dynasty.

Which of the ministers is here to compete with Yun Lanshan? I wonder if the emperor has a suitable candidate in mind?"

Xia Houlie nodded, slowly tapped the rim of the cup with the tea lid, fell into deep thought, and then said after a long while:

"To be able to compete with Yun Lanshan, someone must have a certain influence in the court. After much thought, I think the only one is Zhou Changlong."

"Zhou Changlong?" Mu Qingwan thought for a moment, "But he is Concubine Chu's father?"

Xia Houlie nodded, "As a censor, Zhou Changlong originally held a high position of authority, and he also had many disciples. Many officials in the imperial court had good personal relationships with him. However, he has been ignored by Yun Lanshan in recent years.

The power of others suppresses me, so I have to succumb to others."

"I guess he must have a lot of dissatisfaction with Yun Lanshan in his heart, but he can't put it on the table. And this can be used to our advantage. As long as we lure him with benefits, show his affection, and then let his daughter

Concubine Chu can rise up in the harem and compete with Concubine Yun. When her wings become stronger, she will definitely attack the Yun family. As long as they are at odds, half of our goal will be achieved."

In fact, she also had her own selfish motives for saying such a method, to make Xia Houlie dote on Concubine Chu, and the power of the Zhou family would grow. By then, Queen Mother Yun and Concubine Yun Guifei would no longer have time to distract themselves from dealing with her, an unfavored and powerless queen.

, although Xia Houlie said that he would protect her, but he is an emperor and a man. In this harem that eats people without spitting out their bones, it is inevitable that there will be things that he cannot take into account.

So she must plan for herself so that she can stay in this harem safely until the day she leaves the palace.

Thinking like this, she turned to Xia Houlie and said:

"In order to cultivate this chess piece, you have to go to Concubine Chu's palace to accompany her during this period of time. Only by letting Concubine Chu get the cute pet can Zhou Changlong have the confidence to compete with Yun Lanshan."

Hearing her talk about Concubine Chu's light and airy appearance, Xia Houlie felt a knot in his heart and sneered:
