"That's right, my lord.

Chen Qun spoke up:"The power of the Lord should continue to be strengthened, not dispersed.""

Facing the opposition of his subordinates, Liu Zhe did not refute. Instead, he asked a question.

"How do you think it can be spread endlessly?"

As soon as Liu Zhe said this, everyone present was shaken. Liu Zhe's question was too sensitive. But at the same time, they became excited in their hearts, not for any other reason, but because of Liu Zhe's words..

Sima Qian's"Historical Records of the First Emperor of Qin" records:"Zhi said: 'I am the First Emperor. Later generations will be counted, and the second and third generations will last forever.’"

Liu Zhe's words already mean that he is thinking about the future and considering the issue of passing.

For a long time, many people under Liu Zhe have hoped that Liu Zhe would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. However, considering that Liu Zhe is the emperor's uncle, Liu Zhe has not shown this intention. However, Liu Zhe's men were already looking forward to that day.

And now that Liu Zhe says this, does it mean that he wants to take that step?

Liu Zhe did not wait for their answer and continued:"From Qin Shihuang to Han Gaozu and then to Emperor Guangwu, not to mention tens of thousands of generations, even hundreds of lifetimes will not work."

"Why?"

"Decentralization of power? The world is in turmoil? People rebelling? No, it all depends on one person"

"If the emperor is wise and his officials are upright and honest, the world will be stable and peaceful; if the emperor is fatuous, the officials will be corrupt, bend the law, and bully the people, which will lead to turmoil in the world, and eventually they will rise up."

"All the land in the world is the king's land, and all the land is the king's ministers. The emperor is rich all over the world and has infinite power, so there are many people who covet the throne. Once the world is slightly turbulent, careerists will continue to appear, exacerbating the turmoil and coveting the throne."

"The emperor's power is gone, and when the people below him have power, they will have ambitions. Once ambition is released, it will expand infinitely"

"If the emperor is wise and has great power, the world will be stable. If the emperor is fatuous, his power will fall by the wayside sooner or later, and eventually the world will be lost."

"Throughout the generations of descendants, there will always be one or two unworthy descendants, and the inheritance will be ruined."

"Therefore, I hope that a system can be established so that this foundation can be preserved in the future, at least when future generations are not worthy."

Liu Zhe's words made everyone present look serious.

The meaning of Liu Zhe's words was very clear. This was a plan for the future.

At the same time, they also understood that by this time, Liu Zhe had already wanted to change. Change Let’s take a look at the system currently in place so that the power in Liu Zhe’s hands can work better.

"Lord, this matter still needs more discussion and should be carried out slowly, and we should not rush into anything rashly."

Changing the system and switching to a new way of doing things is not something you can do just by patting your head and thinking casually. It needs to be discussed, verified, and trialled on a small scale. Finally, if it works, it can be promoted on a large scale. Otherwise, it can be changed casually. , will only cause chaos. Everyone knows the disadvantages of changing orders overnight

"This is natural. Liu

Zhe nodded. He also understood that this matter could not be done overnight. It would take a long, long time to perfect it.

"You need to discuss this matter, and then verify it more and improve it."Liu Zhedao

"I can create a new department, and I will decide the people in this department to handle government affairs, large and small, for me."

Liu Zhe gave his men suggestions. This is the method he has thought about for more than half a month. He drew it by drawing on foreign political systems that he saw on TV in later generations. Only whether it is applicable or not needs to be verified. 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 the military.""

Liu Zhe established a staff department very early. His original intention was to follow the example of later generations of staff departments and command the war. However, he later discovered that in this era, communications were underdeveloped, and it was impossible to take charge of remote command. He gave up that idea. The idea was to gradually give the staff more functions, which was equivalent to helping Liu Zhe manage the army.

"People in this department are only responsible to me. Appointments must be approved by me before they can take effect.…."

Liu Zhe gave his subordinates some reference opinions and asked them to think about it and asked them to help Liu Zhe come up with a more effective system.

For this kind of system, Liu Zhe only has a few requirements. First, it must be efficient. The current territory is not small anymore. If things are done slowly and it takes days or even months to get something done, it is possible that this matter Once things are done in the end, the meaning is gone. Second, on the basis of ensuring Liu Zhe's power, decentralize power so that the people below have more autonomy, but at the same time prevent the abuse of power and avoid rebellion or deception.

After the explanation, everyone dispersed. When the meeting was ending, Liu Xin broke in with her three nieces.

"Master!"

Liu Xin took Liu Jing, Liu Wan and Liu Ting to salute Cai Yong.

"Well! Cai

Yong nodded expressionlessly, glanced at Liu Jing's three little girls, and said,"Have you done all your homework?""
