Chapter 1137 Reclaiming Tax Rights
Every minister lowered his head and looked at the plan in his hand carefully, fearing that he would miss any word.
At this time, Li Chen's explanation also spoke.
"This palace plans to ensure that the overall powers and functions of the six ministries remain unchanged. The Shangshu Province, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Education, and the Three Provinces are directly ordered to be ordered by the emperor."
"The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat is in charge of the confidentiality and issue political orders."
"Menxia Province and the Secretariat Province share the key points, discuss national affairs together, and are responsible for reviewing the edicts."
"The Shangshu Province has the greatest authority and commands the six ministries and twenty-four departments."
Just a three additional provinces allowed all officials to see the glory of this reform plan.
This obviously means to break up the entire cabinet and divide its power into three.
Originally, the cabinet had great power. It not only could directly interfere in all the work of the six ministries and 24 departments, but also had the right to review the emperor's edicts and court memorials, and to refute the Pihong.
Now Li Chen has allocated the power of the cabinet to the three provinces, and also divided the emperor's decrees, memorials and administrative powers quickly. They are clearly distinguished from each other and do not interfere with each other, but they are also involved with each other.
The emperor's order to accept his orders is to take the human rights in his hands. As long as the emperor does not lose all his power in the future, there is no risk of being undermined.
The Secretariat can be understood as the emperor's secretariat, while the Menxia Provincial Department is a supplement between the Secretariat and the court's government affairs. As for the Secretariat, it is the prototype of a State Privy Council.
After the six ministries and twenty-four departments, the state government affairs were taken to the Secretariat Province, and after being sorted out by the Secretariat Province, they were reported to the emperor after being disposed of. The emperor issued government orders, and the Menxia Province and the Secretariat Province carried out the issuance and execution of administrative orders.
This can ensure the greatest balance of power, and the three major institutions are only subject to the emperor.
Of course, there is no perfect system in the world, and any system will have flaws and loopholes.
To put it bluntly, the system of the three provinces and six ministries has infinitely weakened the power of the prime minister and thus strengthened the centralization of the monarch. However, there is a hidden danger here that the emperor must have sufficient control.
Once the emperor lacks control and allows the three provinces to collude with each other, the hidden dangers will be enough to completely undermine the emperor, and its power will be greater than that of the current cabinet.
But Li Chen couldn't control so many future generations. He just needed to be able to control everything when he was in power.
As for what happens in the future, it depends on the ability of future generations.
Li Chen's eyes fell on Zhao Xuanji. Seeing that the latter was just watching the reform content quietly and without expressing his opinion, Li Chen continued: "This is the restructuring of the central government, which is below the local government. Now the national administrative region division remains unchanged, and the county-level government institutions are not changed, but the state, prefecture, and provincial governments need to be changed."
"Take the government as an example, the Chief Executive is the governor, the general leader is responsible for the people's livelihood in the territory, and he is given the fourth rank."
"The largest county magistrate is the magistrate, the largest prefecture, the largest prefecture is the governor, and the largest province is the governor. The original grade remains unchanged, and another tax-related functions such as taxation, tax audit, and unified taxation, which were originally managed by the government government, are all subject to local taxation cases. The taxation case is not subject to local officials and is directly under the jurisdiction of the direct superior. The assessment, promotion, and appointment of officials of the tax case are also decided by the court center and issued directly."
The Eastern Palace wants to recover the tax rights!
This move is extremely bold.
