"The so-called cabinet is an internal institution corresponding to the yamen of foreign dynasties such as the Six Ministries and Nine Secretaries, and it is served by civilian officials."

"Once you are in the cabinet, you must not hold any position in the foreign court, and you must be on call at any time, and the Son of Heaven can send you at any time."

"There are three or five members of the cabinet, the first of which is called the first assistant, the second is called the second assistant, and the remaining members are called the cabinet elders."

"This title does not mean the size of the official rank, but the difference in the time of entering the cabinet."

"The work of these three or five people is to classify the mountain of twists and turns, and give their own preliminary suggestions, and then hand them over to His Majesty to deal with."

"This practice can be called public opinion."

"If you do a good job, Your Majesty can reward him with a title such as a scholar, and if you don't do a good job, let them roll up and get out."

"What is the Cabinet? This is the Cabinet! ”

Zhu Ying explained as she wrote.

"Wonderful!"

"It's amazing!"

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, and he thought that if this kid had any bad ideas to increase his workload, he would go back and persuade his father to recognize him as soon as possible, and then throw it all to this kid and let him lift a stone to hit his own feet.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ying's voice landed, and Zhu Biao was instantly relieved, this kid said that the cabinet was doing things, isn't it what he is doing now?

Once the so-called cabinet is formed, won't your work be much easier in an instant?

Not only Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nod when he heard this.

At first glance, this cabinet sounds somewhat similar to the prime minister, but there is clearly a fundamental difference between the two.

The prime minister has his own mansion, and the prime minister can directly enjoy the control over the six ministries and nine secretaries, and can even appoint his own staff at will.

The power of the prime minister is too great, and it can be said that he exists above 10,000 people under one person.

But the cabinet in this boy's mouth cannot have any position other than cabinet members, neither official position, nor the right to appoint or dismiss any officials.

And they can only provide their own advice, but they do not have the power to deal with it.

There is no mansion, it is completely around the emperor, and where the emperor deals with government affairs, they will follow him.

If you say it's good, it's called a cabinet member, and if you say it's popular, it's the emperor's dog's leg!

As long as the emperor is happy, it is no problem to change one a day.

This is a real insight!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but glance at Zhu Ying again.

Hasn't this kid been free-range outside for a few years?

How did it get so powerful?

Our old Zhu family is all talented!

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang was about to praise Zhu Ying, but Zhu Ying shook his head and sighed.

"This cabinet is good, but it is also flawed."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked: "Is the cabinet still flawed?" What flaws? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang is a typical Virgo personality who strives for perfection in everything.

Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has set countless systems, from national policies to the people's eating, drinking, and Lazar, he has to grasp everything.

originally thought that this cabinet system was perfect, and he was going to go back to implement it when he turned around, but as soon as this idea came up, Zhu Ying actually said that this cabinet system was also flawed.

If this defect can't be made up, Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid that he won't be able to sleep well.

"If the emperor doesn't handle it properly, the cabinet will evolve into a different kind of power."

Zhu Ying looked at the three people in front of him and returned with a smile.

"Will the cabinet become a different kind of being?"

"Is that true?"

The three of them asked almost in unison.

In the minds of these three people, the cabinet system is completely similar to the existence of staff, and it is impossible for it to evolve into relative power.

"Naturally, take it seriously!"

Just point to the two big words cabinet on the wall and continue to explain.

"Whether the power of the cabinet is large or small depends entirely on the ability of His Majesty the Emperor."

"If His Majesty the Emperor is not lazy and diligent and strong, even if these cabinet members are capable, they can only obediently be the emperor's dogs."

"His Majesty Emperor Ruosi is lazy by nature and neglects his duties, then the imperial power will fall into the hands of cabinet members."

"Once two such lazy emperors appear in succession, over time, the cabinet in the hearts of civil and military officials will be no different from the prime minister, and the richest man will become the prime minister."

"When His Majesty the Emperor wants to take back the imperial power, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."

Zhu Ying explained, thinking about the emergence of the cabinet in history.

The earliest was in the Yongle period, but at that time, Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi were very strong, Wen Neng sprayed the master, Wu Neng cut the tartar, and when he met such an emperor model of the five expeditions to Mobei, the cabinet could only give Zhu Laosi as a dog's leg.

Seeing that you are unhappy and say that you should get out, you will be gray and get out.

Zhu Laosi even threw the richest man in the cabinet into the ice and snow and froze to death.

Therefore, although the cabinet appeared in the Yongle period, the cabinet in the Yongle period did not pose a threat to the imperial power at all.

When Zhu Laosi's son Zhu Gaochi became the emperor, the situation changed dramatically.

It's not that Zhu Gaochi is lazy, but that Zhu Gaochi's body is worse than Zhu Biao, how can he have as good energy as Zhu Laosi, so the imperial power slowly fell into the hands of the cabinet.

So that the Ming Dynasty continued to develop like this, and the richest man in the cabinet behind him, whether it was Xu Jie, Gao Gong, or Gao Gong, even appeared Zhang Juzheng, a talent that is rare in a century......

These people, each of whom is extremely capable and full of heart-to-heart existences.

Even Jiajing, the smartest emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, had no way to suppress this existence.

Zhang Juzheng even went out to sit in a sedan chair that needed to be carried by thirty-two people, and the sedan chair had all the bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens.

Even in front of everyone, he just let it out.

"I'm not a photo, I'm a photo!"

Zhang Juzheng fortunately did not live in the Hongwu period, otherwise the dried corpse hanging on the head of Tianfu City would not be just Lan Yu.

In the period of Zhang Juzheng, the peak of civil power in all dynasties appeared.

At that time, the richest man in the cabinet, although he was not called the prime minister, but his power was as good as that of the prime minister.

"This ....."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded thoughtfully when he heard this.

Zhu Yuanzhang is naturally not afraid of what waves the cabinet makes, he himself is a workaholic, and the 996 of later generations is considered a hair compared to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang is so energetic that he is almost seventy years old, and he even gave birth to a daughter.

Not only do I have to deal with the mountains of twists and turns every day, but I also have the energy to look at the secret report submitted by Jinyiwei.

Up and down the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that any wind and grass is under Zhu Yuanzhang's control.

Therefore, even if there was a cabinet during the Hongwu period, it was the same as in the Yongle period, but it was just a tool in his own hands, and he could handle it at will.

But the crown prince Zhu Biao's body is not good, and in the future, Zhu Biao will inherit the throne, so naturally he will have to rely on the existence of the cabinet.
