After listening to the lecture and hearing it now, Zhu Zhanji almost realized that the Xuanzong that the immortal master was talking about was himself.

Although I don't know what I will do in the future, in the current Zhu Zhanji's opinion, this has a fart relationship with me, I am just a handsome imperial grandson.

Can you all stop looking at me?!

"The nature of the celebrant has undergone essential changes since the Xuanzong Dynasty."

"Ming Xuanzong in order to check and balance the cabinet headed by the civil official group, in the inner court of ceremonies to set up the eunuch of the pen, the eunuch of the palm seal, all the cabinet tickets submitted by the cabinet, by the eunuch of the eunuch on behalf of the emperor to approve the red, the annotation is submitted to the reading, after the emperor's consent to hand over to the eunuch of the palm seal seal, and then sent to the six departments to take effect, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch on behalf of the endorsement of this authority is called the 'red' right."

Since then, the celebrant has formed a huge institution corresponding to the cabinet ministries headed by the palm seal and the eunuch of Bingbi, and has essentially become another cabinet of the inner court, and the eunuch of the palm seal has actually become the "internal minister" of the head and auxiliary of the cabinet, and the eunuch of Bingbi can be regarded as the second assistant. ”

"In some periods, the power of the celebrant was overwhelming, and he couldn't hold his head up under the pressure of the six cabinet departments, and was jokingly called the Taishang Cabinet."

"Wang Zhen, the first eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the eunuch who smashed the iron tablet of Taizu, is the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant eunuch."

"This system of mutual checks and balances between civil servants and eunuchs followed the entire Ming Dynasty until the collapse of the country."

Ji Boying's voice was not loud, but when it fell on Lao Zhu and Lao Zhu Di's hearts, it set off turbulent waves.

Anyway, the words have already been said here, and Ji Boying didn't give Lao Zhu a few time to think, and continued.

"So, Lao Zhu, you asked me before if I wanted to depose the prime minister's system."

"Abolition or not, this answer needs to be judged by yourself, in fact, it is very simple, you only need to compare the prime minister system with the cabinet system, and analyze the pros and cons of the cabinet system."

"Let's start with the benefits of the cabinet system."

"First, strengthen the imperial power: after the abolition of the prime minister's system, the imperial power will be greatly improved, and it will truly achieve self-supremacy."

"Until the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a real phase of power from beginning to end, because of the existence of the cabinet mechanism, it is determined that the cabinet chief assistant can not obtain complete phase power, even if it is the creation of the examination law, with six departments in charge of the six departments, the master of ceremonies and eunuchs is the only one who obeys his orders, and combines the executive power, parliamentary power and decision-making power, and Zhang Juzheng, who is closest to the power of the minister, can only be called a half-step power."

"Here, I also want to mention that whether it is the cabinet or the celebrant supervisor, whether it is a vote or a red approval, its power is different from the prime minister's power source, the prime minister's power comes from the system, and the right to vote and the right to approve the red are both dependent on the Son of Heaven, so as long as the Son of Heaven is willing, a sentence can be abolished, and the dictatorship is like Zhengde Liu Jin and Tianqi Wei Zhongxian, all of which are the same."

"Therefore, from this point of view, the abolition of the prime minister system is equivalent to putting a layer of gold silk soft armor on the throne of your old Zhu family, and you will definitely not be backstabbed by your own courtiers and eunuchs like in the late Han and Tang dynasties."

"The second point is that the election of cabinet ministers is relatively fair."

"Since the perfection of the cabinet system, the style of court promotion has developed from ministers to cabinet ministers, and the cabinet ministers are all produced by court push, and those who enter the cabinet from the central decree are ashamed of the scholars and officials, which can greatly eliminate the interference of foreign relatives or ministers."

Court Push: The Ministry of Officials, together with Jiuqing and Kedao, jointly elects the ministers with good prestige and reports them to the emperor, and the emperor finally approves them to enter the cabinet.

Decree: The emperor bypasses the hundred officials and directly appoints the emperor.

"Third, the cabinet has greatly shared the pressure of government affairs, but it has put an end to the arbitrariness of the prime minister system and avoided the potential risk of dictatorial ministers."

After finishing speaking, Ji Boying stopped.

Slightly thirsty, I took a sip of coffee with a cup.

And Lao Zhu, who heard this, finally saw the sunshine with his face that had been blackened all the way.

"We still have some foresight, it seems that the benefits of deposing the prime minister system are really a lot."

In Lao Zhu's view, everything is more important than imperial power, as long as his children and grandchildren hold the imperial power in their hands, then the Ming Dynasty will not fall into the hands of different surnames.

"Father, the emperor is wise and majestic."

Although he hasn't made a sycophant for many years, Lao Zhu Di still goes with the flow when he comes to his father.

"The emperor's grandfather is far-sighted, and his grandson admires it!"

Zhu Gaochi followed closely.

"The great-emperor's grandfather's majestic talent and strategy are beyond the reach of Zhanji."

One beats louder than the other.

Lao Zhu's mood is much better.

Ji Boying put down the cup, glanced at the four generations in the same house, and continued to speak.

"Next, there's the cabinet's shortcomings."

"Lao Zhu, this is why today I am obviously talking about the prime minister system and the cabinet system, but I spent time talking to you about the eunuch chaos."

"Listen up."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Lao Zhu's face immediately closed.

"First, after the imperial power is highly concentrated, the requirements for the emperor will also become higher."

"When power is concentrated in one person, if this person is a diligent and decisive king, then the country is fortunate and the people are lucky, but if this emperor is not very careful, then the Manchu Dynasty is rampant with demons."

"And this brings us to the second drawback."

Ji Boying looked at Lao Zhu.

"The second point is that the eunuchs are chaotic."

"I have just talked about the existence of the celebrant eunuch, when the emperor is in charge, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch with the palm seal are equivalent to puppeteers, and their words and deeds are under the control of the emperor."

"But when the emperor doesn't care about anything, the celebrant who holds the right to approve the red is the highest decision, that is to say, the eunuch with the palm seal of the celebrant will exercise the power of the Son of Heaven on behalf of the emperor."

"In this case, the six ministries that hold the executive power and the cabinet of the parliamentary power will not be able to compete with it at all, and the entire government and the opposition will become a hall of words for the eunuchs."

"This is, the eunuch dictatorship."

When he heard the words 'eunuch dictatorship', Lao Zhu's fists were clenched.

The power of our great tomorrow has fallen into the hands of eunuchs, how could we give birth to those waste descendants, holding the supreme imperial power in their hands, but they let a group of eunuchs wantonly seize power and poison the country.

Lao Zhu Di also frowned when he heard this, after all, he started with the matter of using eunuchs, and he was a little self-blaming, and at the same time, he was also thinking about what he had to do to cut off this kind of problem in future generations.

"Third, there is a lack of legal guarantee for the position of the cabinet, and when the country is in trouble, it is difficult to appear in turmoil."

"In the Ming Dynasty, from beginning to end, the existence of the cabinet did not have a formal institutional setting, but it was equivalent to a secretariat on the side of the imperial power."

"The first assistant of the cabinet does not have the name of the prime minister, but has the power of the prime minister, has the power of the prime minister, and does not have the responsibility of the prime minister, if there is no Zhu approval, the six ministries are not convinced at all, even if Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet who is closest to the complete version of the prime minister's power in the Ming Dynasty, must still cooperate with Feng Bao, the eunuch who is in charge of the seal, in order to be able to exercise his ambitions."

"In this way, when the country is heavy, the ministers who need to reform, and the famous ministers who turn the tide are particularly high, after all, people like Zhang Juzheng who can handle the six ministries, the cabinet, the celebrant supervisor, the harem, and the emperor at the same time, there is only one in the entire Ming Dynasty 276."

Lao Zhu and Lao Zhu Di, as well as Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, all listened very carefully, and the three words 'Zhang Juzheng' were also deeply imprinted in their hearts.

The person who can be repeatedly mentioned by the immortal master must be extremely outstanding.

Ji Boying paused for a moment, moistened his throat, and continued.

"Fourth, the scourge of the partisans."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Zhanji subconsciously asked.

"Immortal Master, I have a question, there have been friends in all dynasties, what is the difference between my Ming Dynasty? Why the Cabinet? ”
