An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1297 It Was All Given By His Majesty

Liu Wenan continued to persuade her in a low voice, "I also know that your majesty is afraid that the

subordinates will not do well enough and make some trouble, so you want to do everything by

yourself."

"But your majesty, have you ever thought about it? How can you take everything in your hands? If the

subordinates fail to do anything well, you could just scold and punish them. Just ask them do it over

and over again until you are satisfied. You have to let them learn to deal with these things by

themselves. Maybe you will be tired at the beginning, and later you will be relaxed. "

"Just like what happened today, you don't have to make it so detailed. You don't need to tell them which

one should be cancelled or how to sell those things. You just need to tell the Ministry of Rites that they

couldn't spend too much money and let them figure out a way by themselves. Then ask the Ministry of

Revenue to supervise them... "

How could Yun Shang not know these things? It was easy to say, but difficult to do.

Most of the time, she found that no matter how hard she tried to teach them, they didn't seem to

understand what she meant. They couldn't make her satisfied even if she tried several times, so she

thought that she might as well do it herself, and it seemed to be faster.

She knew it was not right, but she always couldn't control herself.

"I see. I will pay attention to it in the future."

Liu Wenan smiled, "His majesty is learning to devolve the power now. Two days ago, his majesty told

me that he wanted to form a cabinet."

"Form a cabinet?"

Liu Wenan nodded, "In fact, it has something to do with the accident of your majesty last time. His

majesty thinks that there were a lot of political affairs in the court after he left the palace, and there

were many urgent things that need to be solved."

"So his majesty thought it might be much better if there is a cabinet."

Yun Shang frowned, "But the cabinet..."

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Liu Wenan knew what she was thinking. He couldn't help smiling, "Your

majesty, do you think it's difficult to control the cabinet if it's too powerful?"

Yun Shang pursed her lips. She neither nodded nor shook her head, showing her acquiescence.

In the previous dynasties, some emperor formed cabinet. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

The officials of the cabinet served the emperor, participated in the review of memorials and the decision

of confidential affairs.

Later, the cabinet gradually sidelined the power of the emperor, and gradually began to win over the

courtiers. The minister in charge of the cabinet even planned to seize the throne...

The emperor understood that he couldn't delegate power to the cabinet, so he gradually reduced the

power of the cabinet. After great efforts, the cabinet was removed.

"If the cabinet can't be controlled well, it may be too powerful. But your majesty, don't forget that the

cabinet is not a real authority. It is just a temporary agency made up of several ministers from different

departments in the court to assist his majesty in handling government affairs. "

"The promotion and demotion of the officials of the cabinet is decided by his majesty. The power of the

cabinet is also decided according to his majesty's will. Whether the final decision of the cabinet is

passed or not depends on his majesty's approval..."

Liu Wenan smiled and said, "If such a thing as the cabinet deprives the emperor of state affairs, there

must be a most important prerequisite, that is, the emperor is too coward to act, which leads to such a

result that the courtiers control state affairs."

"In fact, if an emperor is really so incompetent, such a result may be inevitable no matter whether there

is a cabinet or not."

Liu Wenan looked at Yun Shang and asked, "Your majesty, do you think that such a situation might

happen when the cabinet is under the control of his majesty?"

Of course it was impossible.

Although Yun Shang didn't answer, Liu Wenan knew the answer. "So, your majesty, you don't have to

worry about it."

"By the way, your majesty is also a decisive person in my eyes. You are a powerful and decisive top

leader, and you can also firmly hold those people under your control. No one dares to disobey you... "

Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing again. "Well, don't flatter me, or I'll be too proud. I see.

I'll think about how to do. "

"Yes."

Liu Wenan stopped with a smile and said, "Oh, I almost forgot. His majesty asked me to come here and

send a message to you."

"His majesty said he would be here soon to have the meal with you."

"Okay, I see."

When Luo Qingyan returned to Taiji Palace, Yun Shang didn't mention anything about the cabinet. She

only told him about the preparations for the Wanshou Festival, "I've read the memorial of the Ministry of

Rites. It's a grand celebration, but I think it will cost a lot of money to hold it."

"Your majesty, why don't you ask Ministry of Revenue to participate in the preparation? Let them

discuss how to hold a grand birthday party without spending too much money. After all, it's the first

Wanshou Festival since your majesty ascended the throne. It can't be too shabby. I'm afraid people will

laugh at it. "

Luo Qingyan had no objection. "Okay, it's up to you. Ask Liu Wenan to tell them later."

Yun Shang returned to Weiyang Palace from Taiji Palace. As soon as she sat down, Qian Zhuo came

in and reported, "Your majesty has sent someone to investigate the enemies of the Cao clan, and

they've found out something."

"Official Cao has been an official in the court for decades. His biggest enemy is the Sun clan."

"I don't know why the two clans have a feud, but the two officials are always at loggerheads in the

court. They are incompatible as fire and water."

"Later, Official Cao found out that Official Sun had made some mistakes in government affairs. He

handed a letter to His Former Majesty, and His Former Majesty relegated Official Sun to Xiyang City in

the south."

"So the Sun clan moved to Xiyang City. Now the Sun clan's power in the city can't be underestimated. "

"That's why the Cao clan's business is all over the State of Xia expect Xiyang City.

Yun Shang knocked on the table with her fingers, "Great. Then Xiyang City."

"What?"

Yun Shang suddenly said this, but Qian Zhuo was stunned.

"What did your majesty mean?"

"Knock out Cao Yi's wife, concubines, children, and servants, and put them in the carriage. Send them

to Xiyang City secretly. Handed them to the Sun clan as a gift and tell them that they can deal with

them at will."
