At that time, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was not so famous and did not become one of the four famous novels, so Luo Guanzhong's attitude was to humbly seek advice.

"For a famous book like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I can only talk about my personal opinion." Qin Yu said, "When a work is written, it is originally meant to be evaluated by future generations, and there are a thousand Zhuge Liang in the eyes of a thousand people." ”

Historical masterpieces? Luo Guanzhong was excited when he heard this: In the eyes of Mr. Qin, a pedantic celestial, my clumsy work turned out to be a masterpiece?

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" depicts dozens of war scenes, large and small, with magnificent ideas and diverse techniques, making readers seem to have crossed thousands of years and visited the ancient battlefields at that time. In particular, the descriptions of wars such as the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi are ups and downs, ups and downs, and thrilling to read. The text of the whole book is not very deep, the words are not very vulgar, and it is concise and clear. ”

"Before the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written, people were not enthusiastic about the history of the Three Kingdoms. As soon as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" came out, a series of characters of the Three Kingdoms created by it became well-known in my country. ”

"It is not only an earlier history, but also one of the most accomplished and influential works of ancient history. Widely circulated, charming, and has an immeasurable influence on the history of literature and people's lives. ”

Actually...... With such a high rating?

Luo Guanzhong's body trembled slightly when he heard this, he didn't know that the one he wrote would become one of the four famous novels in the future.

Is it really that good? Zhu Yuanzhang thought sideways, since Mr. has such a high evaluation of his book, then it will be published and distributed on a large scale across the country, and Mr. will say that it is really good.

As for Shi Nai'an's "Water Margin", it has been banned because there are too many bad people depicted.

Why is the gap between master and apprentice so big?

"However, there are still some shortcomings." Qin Yu said, "For example, it shows that Liu Bei is thick and pseudo, and Zhuge is wise and close to a demon. Zhuge Liang is a generation of famous, but it is too much to blow him into an immortal who can call the wind and rain. ”

"So much so that there are many people who grasp this point and use it to attack the prime minister."

"In fact, Zhuge Liang was right at the beginning, and he misjudged the situation. Thousands of miles away, the army is divided into two places, and failure is inevitable. ”

"Longzhong's right means to send troops from Jingxiang and Yizhou to attack Cao Cao. Sun Quan is not stupid, when Guan Yu sends troops from Jingzhou, he will definitely send troops to attack from behind. ”

"The second is to belittle Cao and praise Liu. Cao Cao was actually a great politician, a military strategist, and an amazing poet. It has played an important role in stabilizing the north of China. ”

"Throughout the Three Kingdoms, the only ones who can lead troops to fight and leave poems and texts to pass on to future generations are Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang."

"Yes, yes, the gentleman is absolutely right." Luo Guanzhong said, "May I ask Mr. ......?"

"Lao Luo, isn't there an emergency at home?" Just when he wanted to ask Qin Yu for revisions, Zhu Yuanzhang reminded.

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Qin, I almost forgot that there is still a bit of an urgent matter at home that needs to be dealt with, so I won't bother you." After Luo Guanzhong finished speaking, he stood up and left reluctantly.

Is there a fire in the gas tank at home? Seeing this, Qin Yu thought to himself.

"Mr. Qin, we also want to ask you a question, which is a real historical question." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Unlike him, such a good opportunity to discuss the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" ”

"What's the problem?" Qin Yu asked.

"What if, let's say, if a dynasty gradually prospers and finds that the six-part system is not enough?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

He planned to ask Qin Yu about the restructuring of the six-ministry system in the three provinces.

Such a major national event is definitely not willing to let Luo Guanzhong, such a minister who has just entered the court, hear it. Even if he will take it out to discuss with his ministers in the future, he doesn't want him to come into contact with the most core secrets.

"The system of three provinces and six ministries was originally a backward system of feudal dynasties." Qin Yu said, "It is enough when the social productive forces are underdeveloped, but once the social productive forces develop, they will fall behind." ”

"During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, the country was opened and Western civilization entered. The emperor found that the system of three provinces and six ministries was no longer working, so he specially added a Ministry of Commerce, which was in charge of commerce, railways and mines. ”

"As for how to restructure, it's very simple, that is, subdivision."

"For example, the Ministry of Commerce should be in charge of commerce, the Ministry of Mines should be in charge of minerals, the Ministry of Education should be in charge of education, the Ministry of Household Registration should be in charge of household registration, the Ministry of Agriculture should be in charge of agriculture, and the Ministry of Taxation should be in charge of taxation ......."

"The more detailed the division of labor between the functional departments of the imperial court, the more convenient and smooth it will be to operate."

"Like society, the more detailed the social division of labor, the more developed the productive forces."

"Take the household department in ancient times as an example, the household department had to manage not only the land endowment, but also the customs duties, public debts, currency, and household registration...... If a department manages too many affairs, it will become complicated, and as a result, it will not be able to manage any of them. ”

"So you just need to subdivide it?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized.

"yes, that's not a problem in the first place." Qin Yu said, "How complicated do you think?" ”

"And there's an upside to that. There are only six ministries in the six-ministry system, and there are only six Shangshu, and the power is concentrated in the six of them, which is inevitably too much power, which is not a good thing. ”

"For a feudal dynasty, the more centralized the power of the ministers, the easier it was to threaten the centralization of the emperor."

"If you establish dozens of ministries and dozens of Shangshu, their power will be divided."

Can you still divide the power of the six Shangshu? That's great! Zhu Yuanzhang was pleasantly surprised when he heard this. I secretly thought in my heart that I was fortunate to have called Luo Guanzhong away just now, and the power of the minister already belonged to the emperor's art, and he really couldn't let him hear it.

"In the six-ministry system, power is concentrated in the hands of only six people. Once two of them were united, it would be enough for the Emperor to drink a pot. ”

"For example, in the Sanyang Cabinet in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the power of the imperial court was controlled by a few of them."

"Divide the power of the six Shangshu, the more Shangshu are in power, the more difficult it is for them to form a party, and the harder it is to threaten the imperial power. After all, people's hearts are separated from their bellies, and it is easy to form a party of two or three people, but it is difficult to form a party of dozens of people. ”

"Not bad, not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang listened and nodded again and again.

The most taboo thing for the emperor is that the ministers form a party, and subdividing the six ministries into dozens of ministries is equivalent to greatly weakening the possibility and harm of their forming a party from the root.

If it were to be replaced, each of the six Shangshu would have held a lot of power.

Once two or three people form a party, they can threaten the stability of the imperial court.

In the past, once the emperor found out that the ministers had formed a party, the way to deal with it was to dismiss the officials or raid the family and exterminate the clan. But this method is only 'blocking', even if the blockade is strong, it will not prevent the occurrence of ministers forming a party.

And Qin Yu's method is sparse, which weakens the possibility and destructive power of forming a party from the root.

It's better to be blocked than to be sparse.
