Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister and Zhongshu Province, so that the six ministries were directly under their own management, which was equivalent to being the prime minister himself, integrating the imperial power and the prime minister, if the degree of imperial power dictatorship, Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to have reached the peak.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a grassroots emperor, well aware of the people's suffering, and also knows that the throne is not easy to come by, so he is diligent in government, and he adopts centralized power, which does not affect the normal operation of the imperial court.

However, the later emperor could not do it, and when he became the emperor, he still had to suffer and work state affairs, who wanted to do this? What should I do? Of course, I left it to my own secretary to do. The emperor's secretary is a scholar, so the scholar gradually got the right to vote.

The right to vote is that the scholars first look at the ministers' recitals, and then draw up the handling opinions on it, which is actually the meaning of helping the emperor to make suggestions, which is also the duty of the secretary.

The emperor is so relaxed, you don't have to look at a fold, just look at the secretary's vote, and then the emperor will give instructions on the votes of the scholars, even if this is the job, the first assistant scholar will be a sought-after.

The emperor's batch of folds is made of cinnabar ink, and the writing is in red, so it is called Zhu Pi. But sometimes the emperor is not willing to do this, the emperor is busy, think about it, how much work it takes to go through the three palaces and six courtyards, and the emperor also has to attend classes often, and the teachers are carefully selected from the university scholars, which is called the scripture feast, which means that the emperor also has to eat the four books and five classics, and the feast of the hundred schools of thought.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty did a good job in this, even if the most alternative Emperor Xizong ignored state affairs, he did not skip class, because he liked the class taught by his teacher Sun Chengzong the most, and said that when he heard Teacher Sun's class, he "opened his heart", but unfortunately Sun Chengzong failed to teach a good emperor.

The emperor wants to let Zhu Pi's work be done by his subordinates, and this work will be given to the eunuch Bingbi. The eunuch Bingbi is equivalent to the first assistant in the palace and is the chief of staff of the emperor in the palace.

Therefore, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually had two staff teams, the outer court was the cabinet, the palace was the Bingbi celebrant supervisor, and the inner and outer first assistant was the Bingbi eunuch and the first assistant scholar.

According to the original intention, the eunuch Bingbi is adhering to the emperor's will to Zhu Criticism, that is to say, what is written is the emperor's meaning, the problem is that the emperor is too busy, sometimes lazy, and even too lazy to say the will, the eunuch Bingbi did it himself, which is actually already acting for the monarchy.

The top of the power of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the monarch's power, was composed of the vote and the Zhu Pi, and the two together could be used to write a formal decree. After Xuanzong Sanyang came to power in the Ming Dynasty, this model of the Holy Decree was fixed.

So later, the eunuchs not only participated in politics, but also held power on behalf of the monarch to a certain extent, not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang could not think of it, even Zhu Di, who established the prototype of the cabinet, was afraid that his jaw would drop under Jiuquan.

The prefect of Fengyang came here just to express his gratitude, and now he is the righteous son of Mrs. Hou of Wucheng, which is much higher than the status of Lian Daning's disciple, so he visited in person, instead of sending a post to ask for more.

After sitting for half an hour, the prefect said goodbye and left, he wanted to invite him to dinner and get closer to the relationship, but with the presence of the father and son of the Zuo family, it was inconvenient to invite, and the combination of officials and businessmen had to be done secretly, and it would be criticized on the surface, which was not conducive to the future of his officialdom.

"Brother, why didn't you tell us about this, it's still hidden. After the prefect left, Zuo Dongge patted Besides's shoulder and said.

"What is there to say about this, first the Hou Ye forcibly recognized me as a brother, and then pulled me to let Mrs. Tai recognize her son, I had no choice but to admit it. ”

"I have to admit it, as if you are wronged, why can't I meet this good thing. Zuo Dongge looked disappointed.

Xiao Nier and Zuo Ling first looked at each other, and then looked at the man in front of them with strange eyes. This man is too wild, why does he always make shocking movements? If he is still silent, if he becomes bad in the future, he will also be sullen, and no one can control it, he sold us, and asked us to help him count the money, it must be like this.

This man is too wicked!

When I think about it, what I say is something else.

Xiao Nier said: "Brother, you are the righteous son of Mrs. Tai, of course you can enter the Marquis's Mansion at any time, then I will go with you, what is my identity." ”

Zuo Ling said: "Mrs. Tai's righteous son, isn't that also the Hou Ye? Well, Brother Xu is now the second Hou Ye." The little girl Zuo Ling see the second marquis! haha. ”

This time, it made a big red face, he really didn't think about it so much, what monkey master, pig master, he was not interested. He had only one purpose, and that was to check the palace secrets as soon as possible.

Besides, when he came back, his butt was not hot yet, and the next day, Wucheng Hou chased after him. Hou Ye first looked inside and out, and then frowned: "This place is also a temporary foothold, it's too snaily." After you finish your errands, you still go home and live, and everything is arranged for you. I haven't seen you for a day, and my mother is already thinking about you. ”

"Alright, when I'm done, I'll go over when I'm done. Besides, he said it hard, but he was angry in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that he accidentally got the funding of those big people, he wouldn't even think about it, besides, he hadn't lived in such a good house, and he actually said that this was a snail house?!

One is the prefect's yamen, and the other is the marquis's mansion, compared with the residence, the latter is of course a snail residence, yes. said that the prefect and the marquis pretended, people just lived like that, and they didn't pretend.

Besides, if you want me to pretend, how can I pretend? No.

After finishing his errands, he left, how could he live in the Marquis's Palace. Although I have never lived in such a big family, I have read "Dream of Red Mansions", the snobbery of the whole house, a girl as good as Daiyu was tortured to death, it was still Mrs. Tai's own granddaughter, and the second master of Bao was the backer, and the Jia Mansion also swallowed all the property of the Lin family, and it was still not discussed. Where did my lady's righteous son come from?

"I'm here today for this, you have to take it, that's what the old lady meant. Wucheng Hou took out the white jade box.

"This thing must also be very important to your Marquis Mansion, I can't ask for it. "Besides, excuse me.

"What is our Marquis Palace, that is also your home. Let me tell you, from the ancestors to the present, there is no precedent for the old lady to recognize you as her godson. We are not like some people who think that their righteous sons are doing their sons, and the old lady treats you as her own son. Although I am also a little jealous, who let you save my mother's life, I don't want to treat you as a brother. Marquis Wu Cheng said and glared.

"Okay, the Marquis' Mansion is my home. Like you said, this is a temporary place to stay, it's not safe, this kind of heavy treasure is still safe for me to keep it. ”

"That's a good thing to say, I'll keep it for you first, and I'll give it back to you when you're settled. Wu Chenghou put away the treasure.

Besides, he didn't look at the things inside, because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stand the temptation, and the treasure was moving, and although he didn't like the treasure, he didn't dare to try his ability to resist the temptation, so he still didn't see it.

There is a Taoist saying: you don't see what you want.

"By the way, big brother, are there any calligraphy and paintings of predecessors in the house, brother, I want to observe carefully. "Besides, I suddenly thought of this, the Marquis's Mansion has been accumulated for a hundred years, and the calligraphy and paintings of the ancients should be treasured.

If you want to improve calligraphy and painting, you have to keep copying the calligraphy and painting of scholars, and the worst is the ink print, which is generally circulated by the people. Then there are all kinds of rubbings, which are more precious and ordinary people can't afford them. The most precious is the authentic calligraphy and painting of the ancients, if you want to practice calligraphy and painting to the highest level, you can't do it without observing the authentic works of the ancients, and you can't copy them without hard work.

"Calligraphy and painting? Yes, there are a lot, if you want to see it, you can ask the old lady, the best are in the hands of the old lady, she is afraid of being ruined by those of us who don't know how to write and paint. ”

The two talked a little more, and the Marquis of Wucheng repeatedly cared for him to stay as soon as possible, until he nodded his head again and again in agreement, and he returned to the house with confidence.

When Xiao Nier heard the visit of the Marquis of Wucheng, she hid directly in the kitchen, a marquis, in her eyes, was like the emperor, and she didn't dare to look at her face at all.

Rao is how cheerful and spicy she is on weekdays, and she has no courage on this occasion, just like if an ordinary civilian sees the emperor, then the pomp and circumstance are enough to scare him so much that he only dares to kneel on the ground and dare not raise his head.

"I said Nier, where did you usually clean up my skills, this person who came here is the most inadequate. "Besides, he deliberately teased Xiao Nier

"Don't joke with me, it's the Hou Ye. Xiao Nier said as she touched her pounding heart.

"What's the big deal about Master Hou, he's just my eldest brother now, or did he force me to admit it, you are his younger brother and sister. ”

"I'm not, young grandma is. I'm just a girl, at most a big girl. Shaw muttered.

"Young grandma isn't here, you are. Besides, he said.

"Really, you have to count. Xiao Nier was happy again, as if the identity of her brother and sister could be used as a talisman.

Besides, it's not realistic to move to the Marquis's Palace, but people always have to go often. One is to continue to treat Mrs. Tai, and the other is to force Wu Chenghou to come to the door if he doesn't go, which is actually more passive.

The next day, besides, he took Xiao Nier to the Marquis's Mansion to meet Mrs. Tai and Marquis Wucheng.

The old lady really liked Xiao Nier when she saw it, if she didn't admit it and be her godson, she would have recognized Xiao Nier as her goddaughter.

The wives and concubines of the Marquis of Wucheng and the housekeepers are also puzzled, the old lady is very difficult to get close to, the only ones who are close are his son Marquis Wucheng and the eldest girl Ziyan in the room, no matter how they serve every day, it is difficult for the old lady to approve from the heart.

Moreover, to diagnose the old lady's pulse, the internal force left in the old lady's body is still gradually working, according to this, even the medicine does not have to be taken, his internal force is the best medicine, there is a disease to cure the disease, no disease to strengthen the body, prolong life, but also cure all diseases.

"Godmother, your hair has turned black. "Besides, I found that Mrs. Tai's hair has turned some black again, and it is really possible to completely turn black hair.

"yes, they all said I was going to be rejuvenated. It's really thanks to my son, who is a miracle doctor. Mrs. Tai laughed.

"It's your own blessing. ”

"Don't coax me, your brother has told me, you treat me, what is the cure, it is to play with my life, my life is what you exchanged for my life, or others can't cure it?" Mrs. Tai sighed.

Besides, knowing that the brother the old lady said is naturally the Marquis of Wucheng, it seems that he has really become the second master of the Marquis Mansion.
