Chapter 265 Abolish the Prime Minister
"Facts have also proved that Li Shanchang helped Zhu Yuanzhang a lot."
"He is Zhu Yuanzhang's think tank. In the selection of talents, Li Shanchang also helped Zhu Yuanzhang a lot. ”
"Because Zhu Yuanzhang's power gradually grew at that time, many people took refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, who could use it and who couldn't, it was Li Shanchang who gave Zhu Yuanzhang ideas."
"And it was with the help of Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Tang He, Chang Yuchun and other military generals that Zhu Yuanzhang not only defeated Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and other rivals of the rebel army, but also sent troops north to arrest and expel the Yuan Dynasty forces led by Bulgi Jin Tuhuan Timur with Dayuan from the Central Plains, and the Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang finally replaced the Yuan Dynasty established by Genghis Khan Temujin and his grandson Kublai Khan, which opened the ancient dynasty of our country and a new era of replacement."
"But Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, and there are no external enemies, but what about internal enemies?"
"At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who is gradually entering his old age, has to raise the butcher knife to deal with those triumphant heroes!"
Qin Shi Huang: What is this? Another emperor who killed heroes?
Liu Bang: What are you waiting here? I said, why did Zhu Yuanzhang ask this question earlier? It was definitely the elderly Zhu Yuanzhang who asked, is this still a start?
Li Shanchang: ??? Is there still me?
Xu Da: Is it because of the problem of "high merit and master"? Am I killed?
Feng Sheng: There's a bad preview!
Yang Guang: This is really an appointment of talented people with outstanding ability! Hehe! I'm still afraid of falling off!
"This is Zhu Yuanzhang's fault, and it is also because there are too many heroes who have been killed, so that some people call Zhu Yuanzhang a tyrant."
There were two major cases in the Ming Dynasty, which made Zhu Yuanzhang almost slaughter all the heroes, one was the "Hu Weiyong case" and the other was the "Lanyu case". ”
"When I ranked Zhu Yuanzhang in fourth place, I didn't recognize his faults, those people were killed, and they could only deserve it."
"Why don't some people in Daming recognize Zhu Yuanzhang, in fact, some things are also hearsay, and you can't see the depths."
"Zhu Yuanzhang is actually very open-minded, and these heroes have indeed made great contributions. But after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, these arrogant soldiers did everything they could, but relied on their own merits, acted recklessly, trampled on the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and even oppressed the people. This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang had to raise the butcher knife. ”
"There is another point similar to Liu Bang, Zhu Yuanzhang knows that he is about to die, he is afraid that after his death, these heroes and veterans will make waves, and the emperor who succeeds him will not be able to subdue him, so this wicked Zhu Yuanzhang is appropriate."
"This butcher's knife must be raised, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is a talented emperor, but he also has his ruthlessness and helplessness!"
"It's easy to fight the world, but it's hard to defend the world."
"In addition to the feudal system, Zhu Yuanzhang, using the examples of Han Xin and Peng Yue of the Western Han Dynasty, warned the founding heroes not to float, but for the heroes, after all, I am not at ease."
"So, Zhu Yuanzhang first took action against Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, and after killing Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to revitalize the party prison, killed Li Shanchang, Lu Zhongheng and others, and implicated more than 30,000 people."
Li Zhi: Divide the system? How did this appear again, the example of this big man is there, why is there still a sub-sealing system!
Wu Zetian: I do have doubts, why do you continue to divide the feudal system in a later dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, where there are living examples?
"Not only do you have questions, but I also have them, when I learned about this history, there was also a big question mark in my head, I think Zhu Yuanzhang may be floating in this matter!"
"You said that you are a founding emperor, don't you know the history of the Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty?"
"Even if you may not be literate, haven't the university scholars around you, Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang, also told me about these contents?"
"During the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang divided the princes and kings, and the descendants of the old Liu family all had their own fiefs, but after a few decades, the situation changed subtly, and the strength of the princes and kings was a little too strong, and they could gradually compete with the imperial court."
"In this case, Emperor Jing of Han intended to cut the feudal domain, which led to the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms."
"Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty spent a lot of money to resolve this disaster, but he also failed to solve the problem of the princes and kings."
"If it weren't for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Tui'en Order, maybe the territory of the Western Han Dynasty would not be enough to seal at all."
"The Western Jin Dynasty is the same, the Sima family divided so many princes and kings, but after the stupid emperor Sima Zhen came to power, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings broke out, and the world was in chaos, which led to the emergence of a situation of chaos in China."
"Zhu Yuanzhang turned a blind eye to these bloody examples."
"He may really be too confident, and he feels that the descendants of his old Zhu family are different from those stupid calves who have no interest, so he still divides the princes and kings, and as a result, his fourth son Zhu Di, the king of Yan, rebelled and destroyed the court of his grandson Zhu Yunwen."
"Liu Bang of the Western Han Dynasty killed a group of heroes, and as a result, when Empress Lu was in turmoil, no one was willing to come out to say a word for the old Liu family, which was also chilling enough."
"In addition, the founding emperor rarely killed meritorious heroes, so Zhu Yuanzhang killed meritorious heroes, which made a bad start, making people unwilling to work for the old Zhu family."
"This also indirectly led to the fact that later, Zhu Yunwen had no capable person to appoint at all, and lost the world, in fact, it was doomed since Zhu Yuanzhang killed the hero."
"This Hu Weiyong case has already begun the layout, and it is also a wrong policy, abolishing the prime minister system."
"To tell the truth, the prime minister, as the head of government, plays a very important role in coordinating the relationship between the monarch and the ministers, as well as in dealing with major affairs in the world.
"But Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system in order to monopolize power, which is obviously unreasonable."
"And, in the later period, he also realized that it was really not possible to have no prime minister, and the emperor had to personally ask about all trivial matters, and he was really tired to death, and finally he couldn't hold on, and set up a cabinet system, in fact, he was running the prime minister's function in disguise, in that case, why did you abolish it in the first place?"
"Hu Weiyong was the prime minister at the time, so this case may involve some rights issues, maybe he is not an ordinary unjust case."
"It can be said that it is not easy for Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to become the emperor, and after becoming the emperor, his suspicion has been very distinctive."
"I have always been uneasy about the rights in the country, especially for the power of the prime minister, Zhu Yuanzhang has also cut it many times."
"But the prime minister is still above 10,000 people under one person, and it can be said that the existence of the prime minister has always been a potential threat to Zhu Yuanzhang himself."
