Chapter Seventy-Eight: A New World

Yan Bei nodded and said: "Your frank admission is enough to show your open-mindedness, but you are also a small-bellied person, of course, I don't have evidence of these, but this is a common disease of those who have achieved great things, and I have carefully studied your deeds since I first met you, and I found that you are a rather contradictory person, okay, I will no longer make a big statement in front of you, otherwise you will be afraid to kill my head if you talk too much." ”

"Hahahaha, I am a contradictory person, my wife also said this, Yanbei, I promised you that I would never kill you, but you said it was okay, but, not me, just talk about how serving me is not serving the court, and how is it not an official of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it also contradictory for you to say this, obviously I have no intention of ascending the throne but serving the Ming Dynasty dutifully, how can I not be a person from the court." Lu Yunzhi asked,

Yan Bei replied: "In this case, the boy Yanbei is presumptuous in front of you, the people of the world are supreme, the imperial power is secondary, the world is not a person's world, the emperor's dictatorship, the cabinet is in power, and the ministers are in power, it is not desirable, take you as an example, if you are corrupt and indiscriminately kill innocents, I mean if, then no one dares to care about you, what the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people is just a deception, if someone in the court gets the evidence of your crime and wants to kill you, you will not be caught but will fight back, Let that person die without a place to be buried, Wang Fa Yamen has nothing to do with you, how can you give up with heavy troops, and annoy you to see each other with swords and soldiers, and the current court is about to be defeated, then you say, now is the world of the Lu family, or the world of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Lu Yunzhi nodded slightly, signaling Yanbei to continue, this Yanbei really has some ideas, it seems that he can be regarded as "discerning pearls",

Yanbei also continued to preach politely: "It is not advisable for soldiers to govern the country, because they have a low culture and do not know how to govern the world, and the same literati can not govern the country, the Song Dynasty is an example, in the end, even the country is dead, the policy of governing the country needs to be both civil and military, and each gives full play to its strengths to govern together, so that it is necessary to have a strong administrative system and supervision system at the same time, and the departments and departments restrain each other, and act together to create a prosperous era. After the governance of the Lord and your current actual rule, my Ming Dynasty has been thriving, that is not because you have done the right thing in the overall power, but because the two of you are both people who are literate, martial, and intellectual, we imagine that if it were not for the existence of people like you, replaced by a person who does nothing, and just holds great power, it will not be a scourge of the world and a misfortune of the people. ”

"Those people can't hold power and rule the world." Lu Yunzhi retorted, "Besides, there are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years, and a generation of new people replacing the old ones is just like when Yu Qian went down, and there are always better characters on the stage." ”

Yan Bei said: "Yes, there are talented people in the country and the mountains are not wrong in saying this, but the people in the upper position are not not smart and not excellent, but people like you and the late Lord Yu are so majestic, I am afraid that it is rare to meet in a hundred years, heroes always appear in the same era, I am afraid that after your death, there will be no people like you in the world for many years, people's life expectancy is limited, and it is impossible to live a long life, and it is impossible to be a delusion, and you don't necessarily have to be overthrown to get on the throne. Even if there are the same rulers, but you can guarantee that they are not as loyal to the country and the people as Lord Yu, or you don't like power like you, I don't think you can guarantee it, at that time, I am afraid that the country will be in turmoil and change its name and surname, and there may even be a scandal like Emperor Shi Jingjiao'er, take 10,000 steps back and say, once there is no existence of ministers, there is no cabinet power, That power naturally returns to the hands of the imperial power, and there are still few faint kings since ancient times. ”

"According to you, even the emperor is something that shouldn't exist." Lu Yunzhi asked rhetorically, Yan Bei smiled slightly and was noncommittal, although he was upright but still measured, he didn't dare to say it directly if he was so disrespectful, Lu Yunzhi didn't have so many concerns, so he continued: "According to what you said, all the arbitrary people in the world should not appear, whether it is the imperial power or the ministers, it is not desirable, then a country should always have its leader, if there is no one who is in charge, then who owns the final decision, the world is not going to quarrel into a pot of porridge, It's good for a hundred schools of thought to contend, but there must always be someone who has the final say. ”

"Lord Lu, I don't dare to say this to outsiders, but I think you should understand what I mean, otherwise you wouldn't say that, Yan is really a little moved, the rumors in the world are true, Lu Yunzhi's literary talent and martial arts are different, but what you said is right, the person in charge of the house must have, but there must also be someone to divide his power, a decision from proposal to decision, there are different departments to implement, the ministries do not interfere with each other, the supreme ruler only has a considerable right to speak and does not have absolute veto power, In the same way, the cabinet cannot veto some things based on the preferences and wisdom of a few people, the establishment of the cabinet is good, but there are not enough people, the scope is not wide enough, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and the three stinkers are still Zhuge Liang, and it is better for everyone to make decisions together than to act arbitrarily. Yanbei preached, Lu Yunzhi laughed when he heard it, this truth is simple to understand, although it is quite fun, but it is also a pearl of words, Yanbei is not good,

Yan Bei continued: "Those stupid tricks can't pass through the layers of organs, even if the supreme ruler supports it, it will not help, of course, corruption and bribery of executors at all levels are inevitable, so the establishment of the supervision department is particularly important, but these inspectors are not our Jinyiwei or Dongchang, their rights are a little too great, this kind of governing policy is not advisable, the ministers are panicked, they can participate in the killing, and there is an edict or something, it's just nonsense." ”

Lu Yun secretly admired Yanbei in his heart, so he spoke: "That's exactly what I did. Yan Beiyi waved his hand and said quite arrogantly: "This is not enough, to promote the implementation of a large scale across the country, you are not the emperor, only you do this is not enough, the scope is too small, you may have an army, a civilian official, an economic organization, and your secret agent, I think I can quickly find me is the credit of the secret agent, you have these, but some are too few, and they are only loyal to you, and what they maintain is only your rights, not their duties, in the end, you say the same, The actions of the entire Ming Dynasty still need those old yamen and administrative systems to implement and operate, these are to be replaced, so that the Ming Dynasty can go to the next level, and then the Ming Dynasty is not just a person's Ming Dynasty, but a new world. ”
