Chapter 720: Chapter 160: Heaven’s Upheaval (Part 4)
The Emperor’s expression remained unchanged as he looked at Ye Ze’an:
“What does the Grand Secretary believe should be done about this matter?”
Ye Ze’an clearly had a prepared script, and he spoke each word carefully:
“First, we must enhance the mobility of local officials, especially those within the inspection system, allowing them to be transferred between provinces every two years!
As for the specifics of the transfers, the new inspection plan after the transfers, and other details, I have prepared a ‘Proposal for the Cross-Provincial Transfer of Inspection System Officials.'”
As he spoke, he took a thick memorial out of his wide sleeve.
With just a glance from the Emperor, Feng Cheng walked down the Red Steps, came in front of Ye Ze’an, took the memorial from him, then returned and handed it to the Emperor.
The ministers below were already in a commotion.
If this policy were to be implemented, it would have a significant impact on every region!
And many of the ministers present had intricate connections with different regions.
The Emperor skimmed through the memorial in his hand and then set it down:
“This memorial from the Grand Secretary is commendable; the specifics can be further discussed. Does the Grand Secretary have any other memorials?”
Ye Ze’an continued his ‘output’:
“Having addressed the local inspection issues, we still need to tackle the central inspection of the regions, so that we can comprehensively and thoroughly resolve the problems.
Previously, the central inspection of regions has mainly been through the Blue Patrol Envoys, but the court has appointed fewer than ten such envoys, and their inspection capacity is too limited.”
These words stirred another wave of commotion among all the ministers in the hall.
The position of the Blue Patrol Envoy is too sensitive, wielding too much power, much like an Imperial Sword. No one wants such a sword to become sharper.
Unless the sword is in their own hands.
Now, listening to Ye Ze’an, it seems there is an intention to increase the number of Blue Patrol Envoys, which left many uneasy.
However, due to the authority Ye Ze’an had established all along, no one dared to stand up and oppose him just yet.
“Is it the Grand Secretary’s intention to increase the number of Blue Patrol Envoys?”
Ye Ze’an shook his head:
“No, increasing the number is not enough. I believe we should establish a department independent of the Cabinet, dedicated to patrol the realm and oversee all directions for the Central Government!”
These words landed like a bombshell in the Great Hall!
Three cabinet officials were removed from their positions.
The Third Prince’s influence was greatly reduced, impacting the Crown Prince succession battle.
Allowing cross-provincial transfers of officials in the local inspection system.
None of these changes were as ‘terrifying’ as this proposal from Ye Ze’an!
If this policy were to be implemented,
it would truly be a celestial change!
This chapter is too difficult to write… asking for a monthly ticket
This volume is reaching its conclusion, only the final climax remains~
