Once the "Da Ming Chongzheng Law" was announced, it can be described as an earth-shattering shock, the emperor actually wants to restrain the scope of his power, and also delegate most of the power of the imperial court center to the cabinet, this is simply a strange talk for the ages, appalling!

What does the emperor mean by this, no one really can figure it out, but none of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces have been dissuaded.

This is not because Zhu Cijiong implemented a high-pressure policy and suppressed all the voices that were not convinced, nor because all the literati tended to be inflammatory, and lost their arrogance, the main reason is that they have no reason to oppose it!

The literati originally had the dream of governing the country and showing their ambitions, especially in the Ming Dynasty, the civil official group and the emperor competed for power from the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, until the Tianqi Dynasty of Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty, nearly three hundred years, never stopped, I don't know how many literati lost their lives because of this, and even the strange phenomenon of the emperor cultivating the eunuch group to deal with the civil official group, so that the Ming Dynasty was also the era when the great eunuchs who leaned towards the government and the opposition came out the most, even more than the previous dynasties combined.

Of course, these civil officials in the Ming Dynasty did not want to overthrow the emperor and seek to usurp the throne, most of them represented the demands of various interest groups, and some were purely for ideals and ambitions.

Now, the emperor has almost delegated almost all the power to govern the country, which is exactly what the literati dream of, and to dissuade it, not to say that the emperor will be unhappy, the vast majority of literati will be unhappy, this kind of thing that offends both the emperor and the people of the world, whoever does it is two hundred and five, so after the announcement of "Da Ming Chongzheng Law", Zhu Cijiong did not receive a letter of objection!

However, there are still people who come to dissuade him, not that this person is two hundred and five, the main thing is that he does not belong to the civil official group, but to the royal group, this is naturally the fifth uncle of the emperor, Zhu Youzhen.

Just when the entire capital and even the yamen of various ministries were talking about it, he silently walked to the emperor's private study with a stack of folds, and it seemed that there was an important fold for the emperor to review.

To be honest, he really hasn't been so cautious and careful, he doesn't need to prepare anything when he goes to the emperor in normal times, he will bring it by the way if he has a fold, and if he doesn't have a fold, he will be empty-handed, and he has never deliberately covered it up like this.

He is not stunned, he also knows that dissuading the emperor at this time will offend people, and if he goes blatantly and unscrupulously, he will definitely become the target of verbal criticism, so he deliberately covered it up and tried to avoid the suspicion of others.

At this time, Zhu Cijiong was planning to set up a new department, and the implementation of the "Ming Chongzheng Law" was only a part of his strategy for improving the governance of the country, and the establishment and improvement of various functional departments was also an indispensable part.

Hearing that Uncle Huang was coming, he hurriedly put down the brush in his hand, stood up directly, and went to the door.

Needless to say, the relationship between the uncle and nephew is not to mention, and there is even a taste of a wise monarch and a virtuous minister, after the two sides met each other, Zhu Cijiong pulled Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, to the conference table, and led him to the first place on the left, and then sat down on the main seat.

Zhu Youjian put the fold forward, sat down respectfully, and said with great interest: "Fifth uncle, you came just in time, I just want to talk to you about the governance strategy after the cabinet reshuffle." “

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he couldn't help but say embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, this, please forgive Weichen for talking too much, why do you want to delegate the power of governing the country to the cabinet?" “

Zhu Cijiong also knew that no one should be able to understand why he wanted to delegate power at this time, but he was not worried that someone would object, if the power was given to them and let them exert it, and they still objected, then there was something wrong.

However, this fifth uncle Zhu Youzhen ignored him, from the perspective of the royal family, it is indeed a loss to do so, but he has to suffer this loss, because with the development of the Ming Dynasty, various interest groups will slowly develop, if they are not given the right to speak at all, they are bound to try their best to fight for this right to speak, and it is possible to fight for the country when the time comes!

In other words, if he doesn't suffer this loss now, his children and grandchildren will definitely suffer an even greater loss.

It is also normal for Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, not to understand, because he does not know that when society develops to a certain extent, the feudal dynasty will inevitably perish, and if he does not want to perish, he must change.

Of course, it's useless for Zhu Cijiong to say these now, because no one can understand, he can only see what this fifth uncle thinks first, and then explain it to him in a way that people can understand now.

Thinking of this, he asked directly, "Fifth Uncle, do you think this is inappropriate?" “

Zhu Youzhen actually has a stubborn side, but he has never had the opportunity to show it, this time, he thinks that he is for the interests of the royal family, and the tendon in his head is finally hit, he actually learned from the stubborn donkey before Huang Daozhou, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, it's not just inappropriate, you are simply too upside down, give people a handle!" “

If others said this, Zhu Cijiong probably would be angry if he didn't get mad, because he was used to being the emperor, who dared to contradict him so directly, it would be strange if he wasn't angry.

However, his fifth uncle can be an exception, he did not get angry when he heard this, but asked with interest: "Oh, is it so serious?" “

Zhu Youzhen said bitterly: "Your Majesty, don't you know, those civil officials have too much desire for power, if you don't let go, they all want to seize power, my Ming Dynasty has been guarding against it since Taizu, I don't know how many people I killed to suppress them, how can you directly hand over all the power to them?" “

It is indeed famous for killing civil officials in the Ming Dynasty, especially Emperor Taizu, it is called a ruthless killing, and it is a river of blood at every turn, and in the entire Hongwu Dynasty, more than half of the civil officials were killed, it can be said that being an official in the Ming Dynasty is a very high-risk profession.

The struggle for power between the civil official group and the emperor has been throughout the Ming Dynasty, but sometimes it is fierce, sometimes it is suppressed, what is the point, but it is more and more weak to fight for the Ming Dynasty, which is a typical strong before and weak after, Taizu Chengzu was simply invincible in the world, and when it came to the two brothers Tianqi and Chongzhen, it was simply bullied, which was inseparable from the serious infighting.

Fighting back and forth is actually a matter of social development, because society is developing in the direction of democracy and civilization, unless it is reversed and social development is suppressed, otherwise the feudal imperial system will be eliminated sooner or later, this Zhu Cijiong naturally knows, but now he can't explain to Zhu Youzhen like this, he can only start from the current situation and guide: "Fifth uncle, do you think that under the condition that everyone is not stupid, a person's ability can exceed ten people or even hundreds of people?" “

This is naturally impossible, and Zhu Youzhen didn't know what the emperor meant by asking this, so he could only shake his head and say, "Of course it's impossible." “
