Hearing him say this, Lao Zhu's interest was even greater.

"Tell me about it?"

In fact, it was not entirely devoid of hierarchical management of the music in this era.

Actually, there are still some of them.

For example, 400 miles expedited, 600 miles expedited, and 800 miles expedited.

But these are generally only used for military affairs, to convey particularly urgent military information.

This kind of emergency recital will be sent to the emperor's case as soon as possible, and it will be immediately approved, and the ministers will be summoned to discuss and deal with it.

In general, there is no grading at all, and the whole thing is a mess.

Zhu Yunxi listened to Lao Zhu's question, and immediately said: "All daily affairs are always played." It's still the same as before, just play it normally. ”

"If there's something extremely important, it's played."

"The play is different from the regular play, the play must be strictly sealed, and immediately sent to the front of the emperor, by the Son of Heaven for personal approval, the central minister, must not interfere with the access."

"The chief official should clarify what is important before he can start the performance in the way he wants to play, and he should not use it lightly."

"After the emperor read it, he either directly approved it, and the cadres were arbitrary. or consult with the courtiers and make a decision. ”

"In case of an emergency military situation, such as a rebellion, or border intelligence, or a major disaster, we will start an urgent performance, and it will be divided into 400 miles, 600 miles, and 800 miles."

"This matter has long been regulated by the imperial court, so don't say much about your grandson."

Zhu Yunxi cleared his throat and continued.

"How to deal with the regular performance, there are generally examples to follow, and you can select capable officials and review them on your behalf."

"If you can't make up your mind, then start the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven will decide."

"If there are no special circumstances, the essence of the performance will be copied by the priest and published on the newspaper for the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials to consult."

"If there is an objection, it can be corrected."

"In this way, most of the daily affairs can be represented by capable ministers, and there is no need for the Son of Heaven to work hard."

This is also the most common method used in later generations.

The top leader only focuses on the key points, and the general daily affairs are handled by the executive representative.

But this does not prevent the number one in charge from always being in power.

After all, everyday affairs are all chores and locks, and they don't matter.

It does not affect the power of the number one.

And, if you find that things are not handled well, you can always correct them.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile: "If there are others acting as agents for all daily affairs, over time, the monarch will have the possibility of being set aside, how can you solve this?" ”

This is undoubtedly what Lao Zhu is most concerned about.

If it weren't for this reason, he wouldn't have abolished the prime ministership system.

"There are several ways to do it to ensure that it will not be overlooked."

Zhu Yunxi said: "First of all, we must no longer set up a prime minister system, but set up an advisory office, and select people with profound knowledge and capable secular affairs to enter the advisory office and handle government affairs. ”

"These people are working in front of the palace, and there is no official office or yamen."

"Secondly, all personnel are selected by the emperor, and there is no grade, no merit."

"Where the emperor has a decree, they just kneel and accept the record."

"Only the things that the emperor gave them to deal with, they can discuss and deal with them."

"The emperor can simply promote low-level officials, even cloth clothes, and go directly to the advisory office. Heavy ministers can also be used. ”

"No piece of music shall be approved by one person, and three or more counselors must sign without objection before a formal disposition can be formed."

"Otherwise, continue to deliberate, or ask the emperor to decide."

In fact, in doing so, the Advisory Office would have no real power, and would be equivalent to the Emperor's private secretary.

There is something to do with the secretary.

It's okay......

Well, ahem, it's okay to be idle.

Moreover, secretaries supervise each other, and no one can control power.

Lao Zhu nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction with his checks and balances.

"In addition to that, there is another point, which is tantra."

Zhu Yunxi said: "This is the most important point. ”

"Nowadays, the ministers' recitals are all submitted by the General Administration."

"Before the emperor approved it, a cadre of officials had already seen it."

"After the review, there will be more courtiers to see."

"But there are many things in the imperial court that should not be dealt with publicly."

"Moreover, there is a risk of being suspended, which is not conducive to the downward situation. The second is that the program is too complicated and the operation speed is very slow. ”

"In addition, due to the excessive number of handling personnel, it is easy to cause leaks, which greatly restricts the emperor's implementation of government affairs."

"Some officials who have allowed themselves to clear the stream have even taken the opportunity of the performance to make a big noise, gain a good reputation for themselves, and exert pressure on the emperor to make political affairs more difficult to handle, which is extremely hateful."

Speaking of this, Lao Zhu's expression also became more focused.

For those civil officials who pretend to be high and high, pull the tiger skin of feudal etiquette and righteousness, come to educate the emperor, reprimand the emperor, and gain a reputation for themselves, Lao Zhu is also very headache.

Every year, there are always many things in the imperial court, and they are delayed by these people.

But this is not a matter of picking up a butcher's knife and killing it.

Could it be that there is a way to solve it?

Zhu Yunxi said: "Grandpa Huang can select some important ministers, local governors, imperial envoys, or other officials in special positions, and grant them the power to perform secrets. ”

"The so-called secret music must be written by the writer himself, and it is never allowed to be written by others and revealed to a third party, otherwise, he will be punished."

"If the military general's cultural level is not high and he doesn't have much literacy, he can simply remember things, and he doesn't need to pay too much attention to the etiquette of monarchs and ministers."

"A special box can be specially made in the palace to hold secret music, and after the box is sealed, it must not be opened unless it is destroyed."

"The secret music is sent up, and it goes straight to the front of the emperor, without the hands of a third person."

"After the emperor Zhu approved, he sealed it in a secret box and gave it to the minister of Shangjiao."

"In the whole process, no third person participated, and only the emperor and the ministers of the performance knew what was played, and no one else knew."

"After receiving Zhu's approval, the official reads it, unless there is a public decree. Otherwise, Zhu Pi and the original chapter should be sealed again and sent back to the imperial court for secret archiving. From then on, no one was allowed to read it unless it was ordered by the emperor. ”

"In this way, the emperor can consult with important local officials on state affairs, without the hands of a third person, without entering the ears of a third person."

"Officials can supervise each other, and if there is something to report directly to the emperor, they will not be blocked by others."

"If there are central ministers, or generals who command the army, or other important ministers who form a party for personal gain, they can also be played in the form of secrets, directly to the front of the emperor, and listen to the heavens."

Zhu Yunxi spoke eloquently and described in detail.

"The day-to-day affairs are entrusted to the Advisory Office, and the emperor will not be overworked, and can concentrate on handling important matters."

"Important things, firmly controlled, to ensure the implementation of the imperial court's national political plan."

"Then through the secret system, rectify the rule of officials, supervise the people's situation, and give orders. In this way, no matter how much those civil officials tossed, they could not threaten the imperial power. ”

"What does Grandpa Huang think is the way for his grandson?"

Before he could finish his words, he heard old Zhu hahaha laughing.

"Yes, yes!"

"Good way!"

Lao Zhu was extremely happy and emotional, and he danced with his hands.

"It is worthy of our good grandson, with this method, no matter how heavy the state affairs are, it is easy to deal with them."

He laughed, his voice echoing through the hall.

But smiling and laughing, it suddenly stopped slowly.

His mood turned a little sad.

Then, he sighed softly.

What's going on here?

Zhu Yunxi was puzzled and felt inexplicable.

Are you still talking about it just now?

Why did you suddenly change your face?

Lao Zhu is so old, shouldn't he be the same as a child's face, just change when he says it, right?

"Grandpa Huang, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Yun asked nervously.

Lao Zhu agreed just now, and there should be no more changes.

But just old Zhu's expression, he was really uneasy.

At this moment, Lao Zhu's voice sounded again.

"Such a wonderful method, why didn't we think of it earlier?"

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have to work so hard all the time!"

Lao Zhu was full of remorse, and he was sad because of this.

Is this the reason?

Zhu Yunxi's mouth opened wide, and he knew what to say for a while.
