Chapter 827: Many Cheats 148
However, after the transition from the old to the new, if all affairs are still handed over to that group of ministers, it will be easy for them to sideline the power and turn it into a puppet, and it will be difficult for future generations to take back power.

If this group of ministers, and all future ministers, were the kind of people who served the country and the people, power would be given to them. But the current court system is imperfect, and these ministers, and future ministers, will definitely not serve the country and the people completely. The only thing they think about is to make the greatest profit for themselves and their families.

In fact, from ancient times to the present, there has been no system that can make everyone serve the country and the people - of course, it is not ruled out that some people are good - even those officials of all ranks who come to power in democratically elected countries cannot do it. The reason is very simple. Most people are selfish and cannot be truly selfless. If this is the case, how can we guarantee that those who hold great power will not seek benefits for the people behind them?
It's impossible. No system can guarantee this.

Not to mention that elected officials are watched by people from other parties, so there will be no corrupt officials. Even officials in ancient times did not have the final say. There must have been factions, and political opponents would still keep an eye on them, so there would still be corrupt officials.

So this kind of thing cannot be controlled.

Officials under the modern electoral system cannot guarantee this, and it was even more impossible for the feudal bureaucracy in the Middle Ages to do so.

Since these people are unable to serve the country and the people, who knows what the consequences will be if power is completely given to them.

Therefore, the emperor cannot completely delegate power, he has to keep some control over it. In this era, the emperor is actually equivalent to another party, which can check and balance the officials.

If the emperor completely ignores it, it would be equivalent to allowing the other faction to grow stronger, and it is hard to say what will happen in the end.

In fact, the emperor doesn't care at all. Prince Anjiang is no longer as free as before. Apart from anything else, he still has to attend court every day.

The Prince of Anjiang obviously couldn't stand attending court so early every day. After all, he used to be asleep during the court hours, but now he had to get up and work. How could he bear it? So he changed the court time to after breakfast. The court time was also shortened to no more than one hour, and there was naturally no limit to the shortest time. If the ministers had nothing to report, they could even adjourn the court immediately.

If Prince Anjiang had suggested interfering in the court's affairs, the ministers might have had various opinions, but Prince Anjiang just didn't want to get up early and wanted to be lazy, so the ministers just gave him a few words of advice, and seeing that Prince Anjiang was determined to change the time of the morning court, they let him do as he pleased. After all, the lazier Prince Anjiang was, the better it was for them.

After adjusting the court time, Prince Anjiang could finally have a good night's sleep.

But even so, it is still much harder than before. After all, no matter what, even if the ministers have discussed how to do something, they still need the emperor's approval. Therefore, Prince Anjiang still has much more things to do every day than before.

So he had to pull his son over to help.

Anyway, it’s just signing and stamping, so my son can do this kind of small job. He just needs to supervise.

In fact, he also wanted to ask Linlang to do it, but he was afraid that the ministers would say that the harem should not interfere in politics, so he could only ask his son to do it. His son is thirteen or fourteen years old now, and he can still do such small things.

It turned out that although his son inherited his and Linlang's lazy personalities, he had one advantage, which was obedience. So he did whatever his father asked him to do. And because he was not stupid, and the work of signing and stamping was indeed quite simple, he did a good job.

Since it was the son of Prince Anjiang who was helping, the ministers did not say much. After all, Prince Anjiang and Linlang only had a son and a daughter, and Prince Anjiang did not plan to hold a beauty contest. It was estimated that there would only be so many children in the future, so there was nothing wrong in letting the prince familiarize himself with government affairs in advance.

Seeing her son being pulled by the Prince of Anjiang to do something, and doing a good job, Linlang couldn't help but think, in the original world, maybe the Prince of Anjiang and his children were just so capable, and finally managed the country well, making the Prince of Anjiang famous in history? After all, the Prince of Anjiang is still young. Even if he doesn't plan to work until he's old and retires at the age of 60, he still has to work for more than 20 years. If these 20 years are actually done by him and his son together, and his son is quite capable, he can indeed create a wise ruler.

With his son as a helper, although he cannot push all things to his son, it must be said that Prince Anjiang is indeed a lot more relaxed.

Moreover, doing so will also be beneficial to his son - he will be exposed to these government affairs from a young age and will gradually become familiar with how to handle government affairs.

Even if he doesn't know how to do it at first, but by seeing how those ministers deal with it, he will be able to absorb their experience and follow their example over time.

Besides, there was no need for him to handle government affairs at the beginning, because all he had to do was sign and stamp.

Not only him, but also his father, Prince Anjiang, only has to do these things.

While signing and stamping, he could look at how the ministers wrote and absorb their experience. After a long time, he would know how to handle different things. This would be very good experience for him when he succeeded to the throne as emperor in the future.

Linlang was surprised to see how well the two worked together, thinking that Prince Anjiang was really lazy. However, she supported this kind of laziness, because it would allow the future crown prince to get involved in government affairs early, which was better than those who did not teach their sons much during their lifetime, and then forced their sons to do things unexpectedly after their fathers died without knowing anything. So she did not stop him.

However, the father and son of Prince Anjiang are just signing and stamping for the time being. It has no other use. Anyway, it is just signing and stamping. They feel that they can still do it.

But Linlang sensed the crisis and planned to get rid of some people after the transition from the old to the new was dealt with and the capital returned to peace.

These people are easy to deal with. After all, most officials are not incorruptible. In this way, as long as we find evidence that they are making money, we can send them away.

After getting rid of these more dangerous people, some people who stand on the side of Prince Anjiang will be arranged in the vacant positions. Gradually, Prince Anjiang will be able to control the court and will not let those ministers act recklessly.

Prince Anjiang obviously didn't know Linlang's idea, but as he signed more memorials and gradually understood the government affairs, he actually discovered some tricks. After all, Prince Anjiang was just an insignificant person, not stupid. How could he not see those policies that obviously transferred benefits to certain groups?
