Can the emperor govern the country well if he is diligent in his administration?

The answer is no.

Diligent government does not necessarily govern the country well.

There are many very diligent emperors in history, but they have governed the country in a mess.

In Zhu Yunxi's view, Lao Zhu's current model cannot be adhered to forever.

The reason is simple, no one can work 007 forever for the rest of their lives.

After a long time, anyone's body can't bear it.

Therefore, after Lao Zhu's death in history, there was an immediate backlash.

The current model was soon abolished.

With the rise of the cabinet system, the emperor not only delegated the power of the vote to the cabinet, but also handed over the approval of the red to the celebrant supervisor.

This is certainly not good.

It is also one of the important roots of the rise of the Ming Donglin Party.

The contents of the recitals presented to the cabinet were basically all made public (in the court), and there were no secrets to speak of.

Any civil official will spread all over the court in an instant.

Nominally, there is only a little secrecy system, because the music has to deal with many people, and it is essentially equivalent to nothing.

Whether it is the cabinet in charge of the drafting, or the secretary of general administration who receives the memoir, or the celebrity supervisor who is in charge of approving the red seal, no one has ever been punished for leaking the content of the recital.

In fact, the Cabinet and the General Secretary often deliberately leaked some of the contents of the concert in advance.

The content that should have been approved before it could be published in the newspaper (it could have been left unpublished as needed, but it could not have been prevented from leaking), and when the chapter was played, it was passed on to the court to create momentum.

In this way, in order to win the reputation of "outspoken and daring", the civil officials have become more exaggerated and unscrupulous than the other.

However, the emperor's approval of these recitals was subject to many restrictions.

Because the content after the review is also fully disclosed.

After these ministers saw the review, if it did not suit their wishes, they would reject it.

Then everyone played together and advised the emperor.

Forming a strong public opinion pressure on the emperor.

In fact, it limited the imperial power and also limited the emperor's governing space.

The emperor of the late Ming Dynasty delegated the power of the vote to the cabinet and the power of the red to the celebrant supervisor, in addition to the fact that he could not handle so many movements, this is also an important reason.

If the emperor personally approves it, then there will be "mistakes" everywhere, and "faults" can be found everywhere.

After all, these civil officials all look with a "magnifying glass".

The emperor reviewed so many pieces every day, and he could always pick out the bones from the eggs.

But if they are dissatisfied, they will also fight with the cabinet and the celebrant and supervisor.

The emperor can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, balance the forces of all parties in the court, and use it to firmly hold power.

From the point of view of controlling power, this method cannot be said to be unclever.

But the result of this will inevitably lead to the court officials focusing most of their energy on power struggles and not on real political affairs.

In the late Ming Dynasty, there were many parties in the court, and there was a constant struggle for power, which certainly had a great relationship with the Donglin Party.

But it is precisely this kind of system that gives them the soil for development and development, and that will form such a situation.

If you want to change, you can only start from the source and not give them the soil to grow.

The system of later generations, of course, is different from that used directly in this era.

After all, the level of productivity is not the same, and the scientific and technological civilization is different.

The system is based on the corresponding scientific and technological tools.

However, many things, after a certain amount of improvement and adaptation, can be used.

If you govern a big country, you can cook a small fresh.

In the era of scientific and technological civilization in later generations, its social governance is 10,000 times more complicated than that of the Ming Dynasty in this era!

If the supreme ruler also reviews like Lao Zhu and handles everything himself, 10,000 clones will not be enough.

But it didn't.

Because of the separation of powers, each has its own policy.

The supreme ruler only needs to be in charge.

Of course, a complex system is needed to maintain it.

In this regard, Zhu Yunxi already has a lot of ideas in his heart.

However, Lao Zhu deliberately abolished the prime minister system and did not allow future emperors to set up prime ministers.

In fact, it is to warn them that they cannot handle government affairs under false pretenses.

Although in history, the later Ming emperors did not listen to this "ancestral teaching" at all.

However, now that Lao Zhu is still alive, he is still just a prince.

How easy is it to convince Lao Zhu to change?

Moreover, the civil official clique of the Manchu Dynasty would never agree.

After all, he is cutting off the roots of civilian government from the system, fundamentally.

Let them only honestly become clerks, and they can no longer make waves in the court.

How could the civil servants agree?

If he were the emperor, he might have been able to enforce it, but he wasn't yet.

Lao Zhu didn't want to do this, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all against it.

Don't think about it, it's definitely no fun.

Zhu Yunxi thought about it, if he wanted the civil officials to agree, there was only one way.

Lao Zhu can let these people lift stones to shoot themselves in the foot, and he can also follow the example and use it again.

Let them fight, let him move the stone again, and smash his own foot again.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi spoke.

"This palace is dealing with government affairs for the first time today, and I am not familiar with many things, so I have to consult the ministers in the court, come to someone, and summon all the ministers to meet me."

The first time the imperial grandson supervised the administration of the country, he must have consulted the minister.

These ministers have been waiting outside for a long time.

However, they didn't expect that Zhu Yunxi was not summoned in one by one to ask, but asked them to meet together.

"See His Royal Highness Taisun."

Officials rushed in and saluted respectfully.

Zhu Yunxi sat on the top, the wide chair was extremely mismatched with his small body, and his immature face added to this feeling.

But after a series of events, the officials below no longer dared to look down on a seven-year-old child.

The name of the genius of His Royal Highness Taisun has long been spread all over the world.

Who still doesn't know that His Royal Highness Taisun is young, but he has extraordinary wisdom?

However, it is clear that most of these civil servants are still not convinced.

The distinction between the elders has long been deeply rooted in their bone marrow.

They just think that Zhu Yunxi should not be made a grandson.

It's just that Lao Zhu teased them once, and he can only pinch his nose and admit it for the time being.

Huang Zicheng saw the mountains of music on the table, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

So many pieces, see how you can finish it!

Most of the other officials are in this way.

After all, they were complicit in this.

"Lone today served the order of the emperor's grandfather, supervised the administration of the country, and reviewed the chapters, so that he realized the heavy burden of government affairs."

"In one day, there were thousands of concerts performed by the ministers."

"Lonely has three heads and six arms, and it is difficult to review and process them all."

"Do you have a good plan?"

As soon as these words came out, many officials below were very surprised.

I thought that the grandson summoned them to the audience to ask how to deal with a certain matter, the situation of the court, the local situation, military affairs, and so on.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth, I couldn't finish reading these pieces, what can you do?

Can this be asked casually, can it be said casually?

The emperor's grandson is really out of common sense!

A group of officials, you look at me, I look at you, and they are silent.

But many people had a smug look on their faces, and they couldn't help but laugh out loud.

That's exactly what they want to see.

Huang Zicheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty entrusts His Royal Highness the responsibility of supervising the country to His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness the Taisun should work diligently and do his best to review the chapters and deal with the government affairs. ”

"Shall you be afraid of difficulties and retreat?"

"This sincere prince should not be, and I hope that His Royal Highness the grandson will be self-reflective and live up to His Majesty's trust."

Zhu Yunxi called a good guy in his heart!

He didn't talk about how to read thousands of chapters, and accused Zhu Yunxi of wanting to be lazy and should work hard, completely ignoring the actual situation.

But this is said in a dignified manner, and there is no fault in it.

This is the usual method used by civil officials.

Anyway, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, it is right to stand on the moral high ground and accuse you.

What's up?

Are you still not convinced?

Then teach you what "etiquette" is, how to keep etiquette and morality.

Zhu Yunxi just giggled and was noncommittal.

Suddenly made Huang Zicheng feel like he was punching cotton.

"What about the others? Any great ideas? ”

Zhu Yunxi put Huang Zicheng aside and asked deliberately.

"The lower officials think the same."

"The same is true for Xiaguan."

A famous official, bending down and saluting, all agreed with Huang Zicheng's statement.

No wonder it is said that the officials are protected.

They treat the people in high positions like this, let alone the common people.

"What Lord Huang said is reasonable."

Zhu Yunxi praised it, his tone changed, and he made a helpless expression on his face, and said: "But these pieces are too much, even if you don't eat, drink or sleep, you can't finish reading them." ”

When the officials below heard this, they couldn't help but laugh, and they almost laughed.

Qi Tai stood up and said, "His Royal Highness Taisun is in charge of the government at the beginning, and it is inevitable that he will be a little rusty, and the review of the chapter will be slower. ”

"As long as it takes time, after His Royal Highness the Taisun is familiar with it. With the talent of Taisun Palace, the review of the chapter is as fast and accurate as flowing water. As long as you are diligent and dedicated, you will definitely not be able to defeat His Royal Highness Taisun. ”

Is this a matter of proficiency?

Thousands of cantatas, even if you read one in five minutes, it takes 5,000 minutes, that is, more than 80 hours.

Eight hours a day, it takes more than ten days to read it.

But there is only one day, and there will be a steady stream of new concerts in the future.

I can't finish watching it at all.

Not to mention reading a recital, five minutes is not enough, and it has to be reviewed.

It's not something that can be criticized randomly.

It may be necessary to call the appropriate officials for further questioning before it can be formally approved.

Maybe a piece of music will take an hour or two, or even longer, to process.

Qi Tai's words were obviously a trick for him.

"Qi Shilang has a point." Zhu Yunxi pretended to agree.

People have stood on the moral high ground first, and he can't agree if he wants to.

What's more, this is also what Zhu Yunxi had expected a long time ago.

Next, it's the main event.

Immediately, he changed his words and said with a bitter gourd face: "However, Lone still wants to go out to play, he still wants to run a military academy, he still wants to write poems and songs, and he also wants to hunt ......."

Zhu Yunxi said a lot of things, in short, they are all reasons for being greedy for fun and not wanting to do things.

Without waiting for these people to take out the high hat of morality and etiquette to admonish, he continued: "There is a cloud in the Tao Te Ching: If you say that a big country is a small fresh, you will think it is true. ”

"In the past, Wei Zheng admonished Taizheng to have words, those who are in power, when they are Hongzi Jiude, they can let it go, and choose the good and follow it, then the wise will do their best, the brave will do their best, the benevolent will broadcast their benefits, and the believers will be loyal."

"Use both civil and military, and rule by vertical arch. There is no need to work hard to think about it, and take on behalf of the Baisi. ”

"This is true and reasonable."

"I think that political affairs should be entrusted to your lords, rather than handled by the lonely Baisi."

"The Son of Heaven should rule by the arch, not by himself."

"However, since the abolition of the prime minister system in this dynasty, all government affairs have been entrusted to His Majesty alone."

"So much so that the emperor's grandfather has become ill from hard work and is seriously ill."

"Now that the country is in charge of the country, I know the importance of government affairs, and it is not something that one person can handle."

"Gu intends to invite the imperial grandfather, set up an advisory office, and ask all the lords to act as the government of the court."

"What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Wenhuadian suddenly exploded.
