In fact, Lao Zhu has been thinking about this for a long time.

Let go of power, for fear that others will take advantage of the opportunity to take away power.

Don't let it go, as the Son of Heaven, he is really busy.

Because of this, there is an institution like Jinyiwei that supervises hundreds of officials.

But Lao Zhu also gradually realized that Jinyiwei's own authority was too big and not supervised, and gradually had the momentum of being difficult to fall.

Prior to this, he had already decreed that Jinyiwei should be deprived of the right to arrest and try cases, but it was not implemented thoroughly.

Because of the complete abolition of Jinyiwei, Lao Zhu was not at ease.

He needed someone to help him supervise the hundred officials.

Zhu Yunxi's secret music system helped him solve this problem very well.

The secret recital of the minister is itself a very good kind of secret oversight.

Anyone can make a small report to the emperor.

Everyone is worried that they will be beaten and reported.

In this way, the emperor no longer has to worry about the minister hiding something from him.

They didn't dare to hide it anymore.

Because everyone will be suspicious, if they don't say it, others will reveal it to the emperor.

No one can trust anyone.

"However, there may also be problems with using a leather box to go directly to the Imperial Palace, and it is necessary to prevent people with ill intentions from poisoning or placing explosives in the music."

"It's best to let the little eunuch open it in front of the emperor and then present it to the emperor."

It's a rainy day.

In fact, in this era, there is no poison that can poison people.

There are no touch-to-touch explosions, or bombs that explode at regular intervals.

But Zhu Yunxi felt that as he began to compile textbooks for later generations and raise craftsmen and people from all walks of life, the scientific and technological civilization of the Ming Dynasty should improve at a rapid pace.

When the time comes, it will be possible to make it.

Lao Zhu nodded, although it was absolutely unnecessary, he also praised his grandson's thoughtfulness.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson has a few suggestions." Zhu Yunxi's crisp and vivid way.

"Say it, say it." Lao Zhu's excitement and excitement were beyond words, and he looked forward to his suggestion more and more.

"The first is the separation of military and political affairs, and the separation of civil and military forces."

Historically, the Ming Dynasty used literature to control the military, mainly starting from Mingrenzong.

Prior to this, only when Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen was in power, the status of civil officials was far above that of military attachés.

But later, in the Battle of Jingjing, Zhu Di successfully seized power, and the road to rise to power that the civilian clique had been preparing for a long time was interrupted again.

Whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, they have not engaged in the use of literature to control the military.

Although the status of civil officials is also high, the noble group, which is dominated by military generals, should also not be underestimated.

However, in Zhu Yunxi's view, as long as the military and the government are not separated, and the civil and military are not separated, it is only a matter of time before civilian officials are in power and military generals are in a subordinate position.

Although the military is very important, most of the affairs of a country are government affairs, not military affairs.

The military has always been only in the service of politics.

After all, the state cannot always be in a state of large-scale war with the mobilization of the population.

Not to mention that many of the military generals in this era have a very low level of education, and they can't even read a few big characters, and it is okay to lead troops to charge into battle, and it is unrealistic to compete for power with civil servants in the court.

If they were to be given too much military power, the imperial court would not be at ease.

Zhu Yunxi said: "Select generals or officials who are proficient in military affairs and set up a special military affairs office. Similar to the advisory office that handles the affairs of the court, it is also separate from the advisory affairs in front of the imperial government, and is responsible for handling the daily affairs of the army. In the same way, whenever there is a concert, a secret play, it is up to the emperor to decide. ”

"Military affairs belong to military affairs, and government affairs belong to government affairs, and they are not contradictory."

"As long as there is a need for military and political coordination, the emperor will summon them to discuss matters together, and they will work separately in peacetime."

The separation of military and political affairs is the basic configuration of modern governments in later generations.

After the separation, it was difficult for the civilian clique to meddle in military affairs.

Similarly, it is difficult for the most powerful generals to interfere in government affairs.

The two sides form checks and balances to ensure the smooth operation of state power.

"Good! Good! Good! When Lao Zhu heard this, he clapped his hands and admired.

In fact, since ancient times, military affairs and government affairs have been separated.

It will be handled separately by the prime minister and the lieutenant.

However, the establishment of the system of three provinces and six ministries later strengthened the power of the emperor, but it also allowed military affairs and government affairs to be mixed together.

Zhu Yunxi used this method to separate it again and ensure that the power was vested in the emperor, and Lao Zhu naturally agreed.

"The second suggestion is to establish a hierarchical confidentiality system."

Although the Ming Dynasty also emphasized the need to pay attention to secrecy, in fact, the entire imperial court, like a leaky sieve, has no secrets at all.

For this, Zhu Yunxi also felt very speechless.

In fact, this is largely a civilian-bureaucratic clique, deliberate.

If everything is kept secret and all officials perform their duties, it will be difficult for them to use feudal etiquette and religion to restrain the emperor, use "public opinion" to carry out political struggles, and hold the government hostage.

"All matters of court discussions, courtiers' chapters, correspondence, and all kinds of documents are strictly kept secret, and outsiders are not allowed to hear about them, and they can be divided into three levels: top secret, confidential, and secret."

"Each level can also be further divided and increased when needed."

"All confidential documents and materials, if leaked, will be severely punished."

Lao Zhu stroked his beard and said, "This is a good discussion." ”

He smiled and asked, "You little brain, why do you have so many good ideas?" ”

Of course, that was learned by later generations.

Zhu Yunxi thought in his heart, pretending to be embarrassed, and said: "Sun Er just wanted to share the worries of the emperor's grandfather, and he had to have a proper method, so he thought hard and came up with these methods." ”

"Our old Zhu can have a grandson like you, it really deserves our family."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

He added: "However, although your method is good, if you lose your authority, the civil officials will lose their authority, and they will rise up against it." ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded.

This is to be expected.

The reasons for the objection are readily available.

As the Son of Heaven, who is ordered by Heaven to rule all the people on behalf of Heaven, how can he assign the political commissar to the Advisory Office and the military affairs to the Military Affairs Office?

That's not going to work.

We must be diligent and diligent, and everything will be handled by the Son of Heaven himself.

We must not be lazy, indulge in pleasure, and lose our minds with playthings.

If the emperor dares to do this, they will dare to fight to the death.

In fact, the real reason is that the Advisory Office has no real power, it is only a secretarial body, and the major affairs of the state are still decided by the Son of Heaven.

But the Son of Heaven can deal with it easily, and the civil officials have no power.

Of course they quit.

If they are really entrusted with important tasks, the affairs of the military state will be entrusted to civilian officials.

Then they can change their faces immediately.

The Son of Heaven ruled with a bow, and hundreds of officials performed their duties.

Rule by inaction, the foundation of eternity.

Emperor, you just stay in the palace, just be a signboard, and the ministers will deal with it, so you don't have to worry about it.

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Grandson has a way, so that none of them can object. ”

"Oh, what's the idea?" Lao Zhu asked curiously.

Zhu Yunxi said: "My grandson also learned it from the emperor's grandfather. ”

"Still use the previous method of the emperor's grandfather to deal with them, let them take the initiative to ask for orders, set up an advisory office, and act as an agent for government affairs."

"Their purpose is nothing more than to fight for power. As long as they see that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, they will firmly grasp it. ”

"After they repeatedly admonished him, the imperial grandfather pretended to be a last resort, and then immediately announced a series of advisory measures at the same time with lightning speed."

"By the time they find out that they have worked in vain, and have not won any power, but have lost their authority, it will be too late."

"At that time, they could only pinch their noses and admit it."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then stroked his palms and laughed.

"Xi'er, you learn so fast!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Okay, that's it!"
