Chapter 156: Zaifu's talent

After all, the six Shangshu are already the ministers of the imperial court, with great power and many henchmen.

If he is appointed as a cabinet minister, his power will further increase, and he will become the first assistant of the cabinet, and he will be able to compete with the imperial power.

Although many emperors in the Ming Dynasty were clever and provoked infighting among cabinet ministers, or set up celebrant eunuchs to use eunuchs to counter the cabinet, so as to achieve the purpose of balance and deepen the authority of imperial power.

In fact, when the emperor was thinking about checking and balancing the cabinet, the imperial power was already on the sidelines.

After all, how the cabinet civil officials are fighting, it is all an internal matter of the civilian collective, once they face the emperor, they can put down the mustard in minutes and join forces to fight.

Therefore, in order to prevent the cabinet from sitting on the throne and preventing the cabinet ministers from becoming powerful ministers, it is necessary to limit the power of the cabinet ministers to meddle in the affairs of the court at the beginning of the establishment of the cabinet.

Cabinet ministers are assigned the role of secretaries.

"Miaomiao..."

Zhu Biao has been the crown prince for twenty or thirty years, so it goes without saying that his political wisdom is needless to say, and after listening to Lan Bin's simple description, he understands the benefits of the cabinet. And the only disadvantage of the cabinet, Lan Bin was also suggested, there is no grade, it must not be a minister in power, and it is limited by five years.

In this way, there are no shortcomings in the cabinet.

At least for now, there are no drawbacks.

Lan Bin saw that Zhu Biao agreed, and he was also interested, and continued: "In addition, it can also be stipulated that cabinet ministers need to have experience in the county government, know it, and be proficient in people's livelihood."

"In this way, their advice has a certain reference. At the same time, it also gives the magistrates the opportunity to enter the central government, and if some supporting measures are set up, they dare not do their best to do things for the imperial court!"

"Makes sense, and there's more!" Zhu Biao nodded thoughtfully.

"Andβ€”"

In front of Zhu Biao, Lan Bin did not speak with reservations in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Instead, he tried his best to instill some of his views into Zhu Biao.

I don't want his views to be implemented in the end, but I just want to influence Zhu Biao's views on the civilian collective, and I am satisfied.

Of course, it would be best if the cabinet he envisioned could be fully realized. If you can't do it all, don't worry.

After solving the overwork of Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang first, when Zhu Xiongying takes the throne in the future, he still has time and opportunity to solve it.

Zhu Biao listened very carefully, and while thanking Lan Bin for wholeheartedly considering himself and the royal family, he also participated in the consideration, put forward his personal opinions, discussed and negotiated with Lan Bin.

With the passage of time, Zhu Biao and Lan Bin's discussions and consultations were improved, and a new version of the cabinet system took shape.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the palace gate is about to close!"

Just when Zhu Biao and Lan Bin were discussing the improvement of the cabinet system, Zhu Biao's personal eunuch reminded him.

Zhu Biao was stunned, only then did he realize that the time to discuss the cabinet system with Lan Bin had passed so quickly, and he couldn't help but apologize: "Cousin, you see that when I talk to you, I forgot the time, so you can leave the palace so late!"

"My cousin is serious, it's my blessing to be able to help my cousin!" Lan Bin said modestly.

Zhu Biao smiled: "Okay, you should get out of the palace quickly!" When the palace door is closed, it will be troublesome to leave the palace again!"

"Cousin, retire!"

Everything that should be said has been said, how to decide is Zhu Biao's business, Lan Bin didn't say much, and after saluting solemnly, he turned around and left.

What a talent from Zaisuke!

It's a pity that the age is a little younger!

Zhu Biao looked at Lan Bin's back, sighed in his heart, and regretted that if Lan Bin was older, with the cabinet system suggestions that Lan Bin gave him today, he could enrich Lan Bin into the East Palace and hold important positions.

For example, the secretarial agency that is in charge of him.

However, Lan Bin is too young, thirteen or fourteen years old, and it is not a good thing to rush to be promoted.

Zhu Biao's personal eunuch knows Zhu Biao best, but when he saw Zhu Biao's reaction, he knew that Zhu Biao attached great importance to Lan Bin. But he didn't say much, but raised Lan Bin's status in his heart again and again.

no longer regards Lan Bin as an ordinary royal prince, but as Zhu Biao's confidant.

He is Zhu Biao's personal eunuch, Zhu

The person who values it is the person he values.

Seeing Lan Bin's back disappear, Zhu Biao also turned around, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, and returned to the Wenhua Hall of the East Palace, recalling the cabinet system suggestions given to him by Lan Bin, he was relaxed for a while.

I couldn't wait to write a book, and wrote Lan Bin's cabinet system suggestions into a note, ready to hand it to my father.

There is no way, the huge government affairs of the imperial court have overwhelmed him, and now there is a way to solve it, how can it be delayed and waste time. …

The next day, Zhu Biao brought the written cabinet system to Fengtian Hall and followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the Qianqing Palace after finishing the morning court with Zhu Yuanzhang.

He couldn't wait to say, "Father, cousin Lan Bin saw that his sons were overworked yesterday, and he deliberately proposed a cabinet system that can relieve his father and sons from the heavy government affairs of the court!"

"This system is quite recognized by the sons. Last night, I wrote it overnight, and I asked my father to read it!"

"Really? Show it to us!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang was in the court, he saw that Zhu Biao had something on his mind, and now when he heard Zhu Biao say this, he was interested, wanting to see what cabinet system Lan Bin, the little guy, proposed, and why he could impress his son.

He also asked his son to write the recital himself.

"Father, please take a look!"

Zhu Biao took out a note from his long sleeve and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the recital, saw that it was written in vernacular, and knew that Zhu Biao was considerate of himself. Moved by Zhu Biao's delicate thoughts, he took a closer look at the recital.

It is written in the vernacular, and it simply and straightforwardly explains what the cabinet system is, what are the advantages and disadvantages, how to limit the cabinet from sitting big, threatening the imperial power, and so on.

Basically, in addition to writing out Lan Bin's cabinet system proposals, he also combined with the actual situation in the early Ming Dynasty to make certain optimizations.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's cabinet ministers, after the expiration of their five-year term, returned to their hometowns with honors, rewarded them with a certain amount of property, and hung up an official position of honorable nature, but also placed the right to perform.

You can write down the things you see from the place and present them to the Imperial Palace.

In disguise, let the ministers return to their hometowns and become the emperor's eyeliner in the local area, etc. Look at the book

After reading it, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe it: "Is this really Lan Bin's kid's suggestion?"

Zhu Yuanzhang has been the emperor for more than ten years, and he has been studying tirelessly, and he is no longer the Wuxia Ameng Zhu Chongba, how can he not see that the cabinet system on the music is both groundbreaking and comprehensive.

It not only strengthened the imperial power, freed the emperor from heavy affairs, but also avoided the emergence of powerful ministers and checked and balanced the imperial power.

Even if he likes Lan Bin, he also knows that Lan Bin has a spiritual spirit in him, and he can always see places that ordinary people can't see. It's hard to believe that this cabinet system was come up with by Lan Bin.

"Well, this cabinet system is exactly what my cousin Lan Bin suggested, son." Zhu Biao affirmed.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao for a moment before smashing his mouth: "This kid doesn't know how to look like a melon, and he can come up with such a good system!"

"Well, although my cousin is young, he has the talent of Zaifu!" Zhu Biao echoed.
