"Yes, that's right."

Lin Che leaned back in the chair, changed to a more comfortable position, and said with a smile:

"It seems that Your Majesty is not hopeless."

"The reason why I talk about rights is to let you ring the alarm bell, don't think that everything will be fine when you become an emperor, and you must always have a clear understanding of yourself."

"It's not like you're going to cut out the prime minister system all at once."

"This kind of system, which has lasted for more than a thousand years, must have far-reaching significance for its existence, otherwise it would have been abolished by the previous emperors long ago."

"Is it your turn to make a big move?"

"The sages are not fools, nor are they mediocre."

Lin Che rested his elbows on the table, held his chin with one palm, and mouthed at the depressed old Jununu:

"What kind of method should be chosen to govern the world depends on the actual situation at present."

"If you can't see through the long river of history, don't toss."

"The more you do, the more you get wrong."

"Understood?"

Hearing the other party's undoubted advice, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh, and at the moment, he couldn't help but have some mixed feelings.

If you can see through the long river of time, how many wrong steps can you take?

Not to die is to die, and to die is to die.

Horizontal and vertical can't escape death, isn't Daming hopeless?

Come to think of this.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a splitting headache.

"Well, in that case..."

"Hu Weiyong, can't we kill it yet?"

"That's too much."

Facing Lao Zhu's intentional or unintentional temptation, Lin Che couldn't help but shake his head and smile:

"It's not that you can't kill, you have to find a new person to replace you first."

"Otherwise, if you kill someone directly, who will work for you?"

"Oh, by the way, don't count on me, I can't be."

"You are just too anxious, one wrong step and one wrong step, always let yourself fall into passivity, and keep repeating the process of digging and filling pits."

"Don't you think stupid?"

As soon as I heard this.

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned back in his chair weakly, his mood was even more depressed like falling into an ice cave, and he sighed:

"Mr. Lin."

"Don't tease us."

"We know you must have a good way, you can help us come up with ideas!"

"We're really in a hurry."

Lin Che didn't care about this, and waved his hand indifferently.

"There's a way, but..."

"Mr. Lin, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that there was a play, hurriedly straightened his body, and said with a straight face: "Don't worry." ”

"What should you say, let's make sure it's all right."

Seeing his excited appearance, Lin Che suddenly felt a little funny, but he didn't hide it, and said bluntly:

"If you want to hear, don't listen in vain."

"You know what I mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and nodded, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and he couldn't let his family work in vain.

What's more, this is the first time Lin Che has taken the initiative to speak, isn't it a reason to be dissatisfied?

"Mr. Lin said the number."

"We're not going to bargain."

Hearing Lao Zhu's cool tone, Lin Che spread his hands and smiled: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I don't want money." ”

"Besides, do you think I'm going to be short of money?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed:

"It's... That's right..."

"What does Mr. Lin want?"

"You're welcome, just ask!"

"As long as we have it."

Lin Che knocked on the table rhythmically, and thought for a while:

"Well, I haven't figured it out yet."

"For the time being, you owe me a personal favor."

"I'll tell you when I think about it."

What is free is the most expensive, and what is the worldly thing?

And the emperor's debt to people can come in handy.

More convenient for his later plans.

Regarding the conditions proposed by Lin Che, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed without thinking:

"No problem."

"Mr. Lin thinks slowly."

"Anyway... We owe Mr. a lot of favors, and there are more lice that don't bite. ”

"We're okay."

The words fell.

Lin Che raised his chin and glanced at the other party, too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and went straight to the point:

"In short, a system like the Cabinet, for example, is not completely unfeasible, but that you are using the wrong method."

"That's what will bury endless hidden dangers."

"How?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled, and hinted to the prince Zhu Biao beside him, listen carefully to the lecture and don't get distracted.

"Yes, that's the way."

Lin Che said methodically:

"To put it bluntly, the Cabinet cannot be a serious institution, and the Cabinet Ministers cannot have official status."

"In nature, it is a small group that overrides the formal bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty and is personally selected and appointed by the emperor and convened."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared slightly, unconsciously holding his breath, for fear of missing a certain keyword.

"First of all, the emperor's desire for power is unlimited, this is indisputable."

"Secondly, the emperor's personal time and energy are quite limited, and it is impossible to do everything in detail."

"Therefore, the monarchs of all dynasties have authorized scholars and doctors to help them do their work, and the prime minister system is the same."

After a pause, Lin Che continued:

"Taking the current Ming Dynasty as an example, the notes submitted by the officials of the six ministries must first pass the screening of Zhongshu Province before they can reach the emperor."

"First, the efficiency of doing things is slow, and the prime minister is easy to be arbitrary."

"The opening of the cabinet on the premise of the above two points is mainly to solve these two things."

"Understandable, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang listened with relish, nodded solemnly and responded.

"For example, the Ming Dynasty is currently eager to clear the threat of the Northern Yuan, but between the emperor and the front-line generals, there is a military department and a household department."

"It's too inefficient to pass information up and down."

"You should be aware of it."

Lin Che said with a smile: "At this point, you can first recruit the high-level leaders of the household department and the military department as the main body of the cabinet. ”

"It has become a comprehensive organization that collects, sorts, sorts, and archives."

"Although they have no decision-making power compared to the prime minister, they are all absolute cronies of the emperor."

"Cabinet ministers have no distinguished status, no institutional guarantees of rights, and are members of an 'illegal organization.'"

"Their rights are completely dependent on the emperor's 'cronyism', which also makes the cabinet ministers absolutely obedient to the emperor's orders at all times."

"It looks like it's beautiful on the outside, but if you look at it closely, it's actually the celebrant of ceremonies."

"Without the emperor, you can't live."

As soon as this statement came out.

Not only the father and son of the Zhu family were shocked, but even Xu Miaoyun, who was cautious, raised his head in surprise.

Not in power, just work, illegal organization ...

If it is free from the protection of imperial power, the tragic end is self-evident.

Comparing it to a celebrant is really quite vivid.

"Wonderful!"

I saw Zhu Yuanzhang stand up suddenly, stroked his palm and praised: "Mr. Lin's clever plan." ”

"Why didn't we think of that?"

"In this way, it is not only easy to check and balance the relative power, but also to reduce the workload."

"It's wonderful to kill two birds with one stone."
