"The cabinet was modeled after the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty outside, which caused a sensation in the history of the Divine Domain, and was finally abolished because of the turmoil in the Divine Domain. ”

Liang Xu said simply, which made Sanyan feel a little incredible.

When Sanyan was outside, he also learned a lot about the research of the outside society, including the rectification system of the Ming Dynasty.

"This person is actually outside Chu, but why hasn't he transformed the Divine Domain?"

Since he can create a cabinet, then this person must not be simple, and he is still a high-level of the God Domain.

"Okay, that's not the point, Brother Three-Eyed, you get out of the way, I'll give it a try. ”

Liang Xu used his strongest blow, but it still had no effect, and even Liang Xu was injured, which surprised him,

Just now he used the exercises of the Divine Domain, but the result didn't seem to have any effect at all.

"I understand, the exercises of the Divine Domain have been suppressed, after all, the cabinet also suppressed the imperial power to a certain extent, and the Divine Domain also had such a trend at the beginning, so in general, the cabinet tablet is repulsive to the exercises of my divine master's lineage. ”

Liang Xu communicated these, because the cabinet system in the divine domain was copied from the Ming Dynasty, so the power of the god lord was greatly restricted.

Let's talk about the Ming Dynasty outside, the Ming Dynasty Hongwu thirteen years to dismiss the Zhongshu Province, abolish the prime minister system, the original Zhongshu Province political power transferred to the Hanlin Academy, after the establishment of the cabinet, and then transferred to the cabinet name.

In other words, the archetypal basis of the cabinet is the model of the Hanlin Yuan. The cabinet has experienced the development of time and flourished, reaching its peak during the period of Zhang Juzheng's first assistant.

But it is important to note that the Cabinet has always been a staff body, with the form of an executive branch but without the powers of an executive branch. Administrative powers, such as managing administrative affairs, enjoying basic functions such as planning, organizing, coordinating and controlling.

The function of the cabinet is simple, responsible for uploading and disseminating, and it is an intermediary channel.

The functions of the cabinet are also relatively simple, and in the "Ming History" in the "Ming Hui Yao", the cabinet is mainly responsible for "whether it is possible to make a reservation, follow the rules and regulations, check the questions, and approve the votes, so as to level the government". "Dedication" is the opinion expressed by the cabinet scholars, and the letter is presented to the emperor.

The emperor accepted the promotion and called it "Xianke"; the scholars and the emperor disagreed to the left, and the emperor was admonished to say "substitute no". This function implies the status of the cabinet as an "advisory group", not a government department with real power.

Whether the emperor adopts the opinion of the ministers depends on the emperor, and the status of the ministers depends on the number of votes adopted by the emperor.

Moreover, the duties in charge of the cabinet are actually various miscellaneous and administrative affairs of the six ministries, and the cabinet has a great dependence on the imperial power.

In short, the cabinet is the product of the development and growth of the feudal centralized monarchy system, a maintenance of imperial power, and a certain role in the strengthening and consolidation of imperial power in the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the Chinese book and the prime minister in order to strengthen the imperial power, and set up six powers in one.

Ming Taizu and Ming Chengzu were virtuous monarchs, and there were regulations for cabinet ministers, "they cannot infringe on the functions and powers of the six ministries, or concurrently lead other ministries", and even if the cabinet ministers have super high prestige, they do not dare to act recklessly.

After Akihito, the status of cabinet ministers became more and more noble, the rank of officials increased, and the number of supervisory positions also increased, and the emperor's "personal adviser" was surpassed to the "government affairs organ" of the imperial court.

Although the functions are still basic contents such as voting and drafting edicts and pardons, participating in central decision-making, and advisors, it also plays a certain role in restricting imperial power. This can be explained in two places:

First, when Zhang Juzheng was the first assistant of the cabinet, although it was out of the practical needs of monarchical politics, there is no doubt that because the emperor was young, both the empress dowager and the emperor gave Zhang great power. The successful implementation of the "Wanli New Deal" is a testament to this. Cabinet ministers are quite prestigious, and they themselves are an invisible pressure on the imperial power.

Second, the cabinet was originally a private minister, which was the inevitable centralization of power. And the Ming Dynasty also had a distinctive political feature, "eunuch dictatorship and friend fighting".

Through the eunuchs around him, the emperor allowed them to read and write, and approved the "red approval" on behalf of him, which was also to contain the power of the cabinet and better safeguard the imperial power. From the development of the eunuch system, it can also be seen that the cabinet has certain restrictions on the imperial power.

The prosperity and decline of the cabinet is also a channel to reflect the changes in imperial power, in which due to the ability and character of the emperors in the Ming Dynasty over the years, the acceptance and control of the cabinet are different, and the power of the cabinet also changes.

But on the whole, the cabinet system is a product of feudal imperial rule, and it has contributed to the strengthening of the centralized monarchy.

In fact, the issue of "checks and balances" between the cabinet and the imperial power is a dynamic process that needs to be viewed from a developmental perspective.

In the middle and late Yongle period, the power of the cabinet rose. This is manifested in the development of the power of the cabinet ministers. The emperor granted some of his ministers the privilege of secretly omitting affairs, so that the ministers could better assist the emperor in handling the chapters. During the Xuande period, the power of cabinet voting was institutionalized.

Until the Zhengde period, the division and distinction between the first assistant and the group assistant of the cabinet further legitimized the power of the cabinet. But at this time, the cabinet could not be said to have waged a struggle against the imperial power, which had always been in a high position.

By the time of Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the power of the cabinet gradually reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty. Especially during Zhang Juzheng's tenure as the first assistant, the cabinet took over all the power of the ministry, which seemed to naturally suppress the imperial power. Although it was the emperor who granted the power to the first assistant, Zhang Juzheng did dismiss the courtiers as the emperor's teacher, and "listened to Mr. Zhang's punishment" in large and small affairs. The cabinet was almost usurped above the imperial power, and the imperial power was at a disadvantage.

In the middle and late Wanli period, the power of the cabinet weakened, the emperor deliberately suppressed it, and the situation that Zhang Shou's auxiliary power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and the ministers were afraid to challenge the imperial power.

Imperial power is gradually tightening. By the time of Chongzhen, the struggle between the cabinet and the imperial power was even more visible. At that time, the eunuch power was eliminated, the cabinet was facing the problem of reconstruction, and the emperor's position was already painstaking, striving for a more centralized monarch, and the imperial power and the cabinet were almost-for-tat.

In March of the second year of Chongzhen, 258 ministers were disposed of, and the selection of cabinet ministers was even more painstaking, with more than 50 people participating in the cabinet before and after, just to establish a cabinet that the emperor could control.

The struggle between the imperial power and the cabinet was inevitable. As the power of the cabinet expanded, the emperor became suspicious of his ministers. In order not to become a "plaything" of the cabinet, the emperor had to further strengthen the imperial power.

This is especially evident in Emperor Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen rotated his ministers many times, increased the number of ministers, and constantly divided the power of the cabinet, so that the ministers would not threaten the emperor's decision-making, and the cabinet would no longer hinder the imperial power.

The struggle between the cabinet and the imperial power continued until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and the power of the two was lost and the power of the two was lost. The Qing Dynasty continued to use the cabinet system, but at that time the cabinet was only a foil for the concentration of imperial power.

And learned from the Ming Dynasty cabinet also has such a function, when the cabinet appeared in the god domain, the god lord didn't care at all, but the slow development made him find that the cabinet is a behemoth, almost all the power is controlled by the cabinet, at that time the god still has a prime minister, but he has no power at all, it's really the same as a puppet.

Of course, unlike the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet of the Divine Domain not only has power, but even overrides the power of the gods, because the cabinet has a huge army that can be controlled by the family, as well as countless masters.

At that time, in addition to the divine decree, there were also cabinet decrees, and there were even people who did not obey the divine decrees, but they were very obedient to the cabinet decrees.

Because if you don't obey the orders of the gods, the end result is likely to be that you will be punished, but if you don't obey the orders of the cabinet, you will basically lose your life.

Because this cabinet is a prestige, they maintain the power of the divine domain, and everyone who opposes them will not be left behind, all of them will die.

I remember that a cabinet minister once went to the border pass to inspect the guard at that time and did not listen to his orders, which angered him, this guy came back and mobilized people to get rid of all the people stationed at the border pass that day, causing a shocking big case, and the god ordered severe punishment, but in the end it was not done.

Therefore, the cabinet is a group of executioners who kill people without blinking, who is not afraid of them, their murderous reputation is famous, and within a few decades, they have almost changed the divine realm, and the god lord at that time was also aware of this situation, and the result of wanting to change it almost caused a catastrophe.

In the end, the god lord didn't seem to care about the affairs in the god domain, and all the major matters were handed over to the cabinet, at that time, for a long time, the god domain was managed by the cabinet, and some people even wondered if the god lord was abolished by the cabinet.

This situation continued for more than 50 years, and finally the Divine Lord spoke out after more than 50 years of silence, and he directly announced that the cabinet had violated the law and discipline, disgraced the divine domain, and announced a crusade against the cabinet.

So he organized the people of the Divine Lord and started a crusade against the Cabinet, which lasted for three years, and finally ended with the victory of the Divine Lord, which is the famous martyrdom of the Divine Domain.

Since then, the cabinet has withdrawn from the stage of the Divine Domain, and all the ministers of the original cabinet have been abolished, and all the leaders have been killed!

In fact, this is also reasonable, after all, the influence of the cabinet on the Divine Domain is too great, and there is no way to explain this battle without killing their Divine Master.

Later, anyone who mentioned the cabinet would be punished, and since then the word cabinet has not been heard in the divine realm again, but there is such a record in the archives of the Divine Lord's Mansion.

That is a rare treasure in the base camp of the cabinet, known as the strongest defensive magic weapon in the divine domain is gone, after the cabinet disappears, that treasure is also gone, and now you don't tell me that this cabinet tablet is that defensive treasure.

Liang Xu's attack didn't leave any traces on it, this defensive ability is indeed too strong, and if it really is, then how can it be here?

How did the Eye get through here?

Liang Xu's mind was full of questions.

"Brother Liang, what are you?"

Looking at Liang Xu in a daze, his eyes were incredible.

Just Liang Xu's attack, he also saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't imagine that this cabinet tablet had such a defensive capability, what kind of material was this.

He also tried, and it still happened.

"Brother Liang, tell me if this is true?"

He was still a little suspicious of his eyes, was this cabinet monument really that strong?

"Brother Three-Eyed, I see we're in trouble, I can't imagine that thing in the Cabinet Monument, and I don't know why he's here?"

"Brother Liang, do you know what kind of material this cabinet tablet is made of?" looked at Liang Xu a little puzzled.

"Alas, Brother Three-Eyed, you know the four spirits of heaven and earth, right?"

Three-eyed nodded, he did know.

The four spirits of heaven and earth, this is the east and east in ancient Chinese myths and legends.

The four sacred beasts are the mythical beasts of ancient Chinese legends, namely the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu, which belong to the products of the combination of ancient mythology and astronomy.

The four beasts are integrated into the five elements and directions, represented by different colors: wood in the east, gold in the west, fire in the south, black in the north, and earth in the center. In addition, "Huainanzi" mentions that the Yellow Dragon, one of the five dragons, is in the center and is the chief of the four beasts.

The so-called number of days, the left green dragon, the right white tiger, the front Vermilion Bird, the back Xuanwu. Therefore, the yin in the hall knows the order of the sun and the moon, and the ice in the bottle knows the cold and heat of the world.

In ancient China, the stars in the sky were divided into seven star regions: "Three Walls" and "Four Elephants". The so-called "wall" means "wall". The three walls are arranged in a triangle around the North Star.

There are "four elephants" distributed around the "three walls": "East Canglong, West White Tiger, South Vermilion Bird, and North Xuanwu".

That is, the astrological sign in the east is like a dragon, the astrological sign in the west is like a tiger, the astrological sign in the south is like a big bird, and the astrological sign in the north is like a turtle and a snake.

Since the earth revolves around the sun, the stars in the sky also change with the seasons. In the evening at the turn of winter and spring, the dragon appears, at the turn of spring and summer, the Xuanwu rises, at the turn of summer and autumn, the white tiger emerges, and at the turn of autumn and winter, the Vermilion Bird rises, which is collectively called the "Four Great Divine Beasts".

What does Liang Xu mean by this, and is there any connection to this cabinet monument?

"Do you know the Xuanwu among the four spirits?"

Xuanwu is the combination of turtle and snake, people think that the snake is witty, smart, good at collecting wealth, the common belief that the dream snake is a fortune; and the turtle belly and back have hard armor, the head and tail and limbs can be retracted into the armor, resistant to hunger and thirst, the life expectancy is extremely long, people use turtles for divination, and yarrow are used for divination, collectively called turtles. The texture of the turtle's back is called the turtle text, and the tortoise shell is burned during divination, and the cracks are seen according to the cracks, and the blame is taken for the auspiciousness.

Xuanwu is a combination of turtle and snake, the two are concentrated on Xuanwu, and this Xuanwu is good at defense, Liang Xu said at this time that Xuanwu is difficult to do?

"It seems that you have guessed it, if my expectations are correct, this cabinet monument is actually the original Zhenshan Divine Beast Xuanwu of the cabinet, and the defense can be called the first in the divine domain, we want to break the stone monument in the past, it is indeed a bit whimsical. ”

This stele seems to be one with the mountain, it is unrealistic to dig it up, and it is not possible to blow it up with explosives, Liang Xu has already tried it, but it has no effect at all.

From this point, you can see the defensive function of Xuanwu!

But there was no trace of the cabinet monument last time, how did it come out now, what the hell is going on, coincidence or someone deliberately put it here?

Liang Xu's mind was constantly active, and suddenly his gaze stayed on the inscription...... I want to talk about "Urban Demon Cultivation of True Medical Saints" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
