Taking the handkerchief handed by Xu Miaoyun, Lin Che wiped his mouth elegantly and said calmly:

"There is a fundamental difference between the cabinet system and the prime minister system."

"The cabinet you plan is an institution with no decision-making power"

"Then you think, if the emperor doesn't make decisions, can the cabinet still ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty?"

Hearing the sudden rhetorical question, Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and remained silent without speaking.

"Come on, let's deduce it now."

"Just as you two are now, a certain unfortunate descendant will succeed to the throne."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "??? ”

Zhu Biao: "??? ”

"The prime minister withdrew from the stage of history, and from then on the cabinet was in power."

Lin Che leaned back in his chair and said with interest:

"According to Emperor Taizu's testament, there are strict requirements for the number of cabinet members, and the purpose is to divide power."

"The offspring who is not angry also strictly abides by it."

"However, the cabinet asked to fill the vacancies of six officials, and the emperor turned a blind eye to it and did not report or approve it."

"The cabinet reported to the governor of the whole country, and the officials of the county and state capitals have reached as much as half, and the emperor still ignores the decision."

"The emperor is slacking off and unwilling to work, can the Ming Dynasty still operate normally?"

"Will it lead to the destruction of the country?"

Zhu Yuanzhang unconsciously gasped, and instantly understood the meaning of Lin Che's words.

The cabinet has no power, the emperor neglects his administration, and the country is doomed to decline.

And if it is handed over to the cabinet with supreme power, it means that everyone in the cabinet is the prime minister.

Without waiting for him to speak, Lin Che said again: "Abolish the Zhongshu Province, abolish the prime minister system, and the six ministries are directly responsible to the emperor, and the workload of the emperor at this time is incomparable to any previous dynasty." ”

"Hundreds of copies are reviewed every day, which can be foreseen now, your father and son are indeed diligent in government, but can future generations of descendants withstand it?"

"You get up first before the hundred bureaucrats get up, and you don't sleep if the hundred bureaucrats have slept, it's not as good as the rich man in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sun is still hugging the quilt."

"Within three generations, the Cabinet will be in use."

"I'm not exaggerating when I say that, right?"

Facing Lin Che's pressing step by step, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded a little depressedly.

Although I am still very reluctant, I have to admit that it makes sense.

I can withstand it because I have tasted the suffering of the world, and I can compare it to begging on the street?

But the descendants of the Zhu family must have been pampered since childhood, how can they withstand this grievance?

"The emperor is tired and can't stand it, so the cabinet should be set up and start to help the emperor deal with the government, but the Ming Dynasty is so big, it all depends on one emperor to work and make decisions."

"It's not a lot less work."

"At this point, the cabinet participates in the decision-making of the imperial court, which is also a matter of time."

Lin Che Kali rinsed his mouth with tea, spit into the spittoon under his feet, and said meaningfully:

"Your old Zhu is an iron man, you can batch more than 1,000 books in eight days, handle more than 3,000 affairs, and future generations can be like you?"

"Such tedious work not only exhausted the emperor physically and mentally, but also made the country inefficient."

"Relying on your overloaded workload, the early Ming Dynasty can still get through smoothly, but the command is getting worse and worse in the middle and late stages."

"The cabinet replaces the emperor's decision-making decision, and is above the six ministries and hundreds of officials."

Lin Che smiled:

"They are omnipresent, they are omnipotent, they can manage not only the affairs of the state, but also the private affairs of the emperor."

"Don't let you eat, don't let you drink, don't choose your favorite heir, and create an era of famous ministers that belongs to you."

"An era in which there are almost no imperial checks."

"You don't understand one or two powerful ministers, and you still want to fight a bunch of powerful ministers?"

"Don't be naïve."

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how confident are you in the Zhu family?"

"The kings of later generations surpassed the founding emperors, how many people have been there throughout history?"

Regarding Lin Che's sharp sarcasm, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt ashamed and embarrassed, and completely gave up the idea of resisting.

Everything people say is reasonable, and they still analyze it from the emperor's point of view, if they continue to quibble, it will inevitably seem too nonsense.

Losing the prestige of the emperor.

There was little silence.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head imperceptibly and sighed:

"What Mr. Lin said is extremely true."

"We've been taught."

The matter was dismissed and no longer mentioned.

"Let's not think it through, let the gentleman laugh."

Seeing that Lao Zhu was subdued and bowed his head, Lin Che was inexplicably a little bored, but when he saw him spread his hands, he said indifferently: "Don't worry!" ”

"I'm not done yet."

"Everything is relative, and to support one side of the force is to promote the other."

"The power of the cabinet is expanding day by day, and if the emperor wants to balance the cabinet, he needs to support other forces."

"Enable the eunuchs to come to the front from behind the scenes, and do some dirty work for the emperor until the imperial power falls into the hands of the eunuchs."

"Do you think there is still salvation for this country?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "!! ”

Hear this.

Zhu Yuanzhang's momentum changed suddenly, and his body was instantly filled with terrifying anger, so that Xu Miaoyun on the side didn't dare to raise his head.

Imperial power in the hands of eunuchs?

Is that still there?

Don't think about it, it's hopeless!

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always strictly guarded against two major events: relatives misleading the country, and eunuchs disrupting government.

The Ming Dynasty's restrictions on eunuchs were only admired by the previous dynasties.

Palace; Eunuchs are indispensable in it, and the chores and difficult things that palace maids can't do, they need eunuchs to move around, and the best way to curb eunuchs is not to give them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Eunuchs who do not have the opportunity to be promoted will always be loyal and obedient subordinates, while at the same time limiting the number of good eunuchs.

Then there were strict regulations on the grades of eunuchs, and eunuchs were in charge of internal duties, and they were not allowed to concurrently serve as civil and military officials of the imperial court, and they were not allowed to wear the official uniforms of foreign officials.

Most importantly, eunuchs were not allowed to read and write.

If you don't know a single word, where will you get the opportunity for promotion.

And in order for future generations to follow this precept, he cast an iron plaque and stood at the gate of the palace, and the ministers were not allowed to interfere in political affairs, and those who violated the order were beheaded!

Earlier, when an old eunuch who had served him for many years was chatting, he accidentally said a few words about the government, causing everyone to become a ghost in the deep palace.

However, to do this, he still can't resist the eunuchs' chaotic government?

That's it.

The blood vessels on Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead were beating wildly, and he only felt that his blood pressure was soaring rapidly at the moment.

"Mr. Lin is right."

"Check and balance power, promote power, and it is very likely that future emperors will use eunuchs."

"The current forces are free from the control of the emperor, and the emperor will think that the eunuchs will not have children and grandchildren if they are not physically complete, and they will trust the eunuchs in the palace more than the ministers who shade their descendants."

"Once this terrible idea comes to mind, all our previous efforts will be in vain."

After all, the founding emperor had no fools, and his descendants were limited by the vision of the times.

Now, thanks to Lin Che's threading of the needle, Lao Zhu immediately realized the seriousness.

No wonder the other party bluntly said that the Zhu family will die as soon as the cabinet comes out.

Not nonsense, but for a reason.
