Chapter 0015: If I want to carry out reforms, you make a charter
Zhu Yuanzhang untied the fishing hook, threw the small fish back into the pool, and said: "The fish is too small, there is no chance to get close to the big fish, it is useless to use it, it is better not to use it." In that case, why not just start with the big fish? ”
"Lan Yuan is the most trusted son of Liang Guogong, and it is difficult to rebel against him."
"Yizi is not his own son after all, no matter how trusted, the position of Liangguo Gong will not be passed on to Yizi."
Zhu Di was slightly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that things could be done like this, if he used the title of Duke of Liangguo as bait, why worry about the big fish not taking the bait.
Although the righteous son is good, if the title can be grasped in his own hands, it is a real benefit.
After all, no matter how loyal Lan Yuan is, no matter how hard he works, it is impossible for the Duke of Liangguo to give Lan Yuan the title, he does not have this power.
The wealth of one generation, and the wealth of thousands of generations, I believe that as long as they are normal people, they know how to choose.
Mao Xiang stood respectfully behind, his head pressed very low, trying to restrain the shock in his heart as much as possible.
He has clearly felt that the current His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Di and the previous His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Biao are completely different in dealing with problems.
When it comes to wrists, even Zhu Biao is not as black-bellied and cold-hearted as Zhu Di, and his actions are far from being so decisive and neat.
It is no wonder that after the death of the crown prince Zhu Biaoxue, he will choose Zhu Di, the king of Yan, as the crown prince, which is too similar, Zhu Di is simply carved out of a mold with His Majesty, and the means are very similar.
"Erhu, this matter is entrusted to you, and from now on, all matters of Jinyiwei can be submitted to the prince, and there is no need to send it to me."
Mao Xiang knelt on the ground, shocked in his heart, he didn't expect His Majesty to hand over the brocade clothes and guards to the prince, which was an honor that even His Royal Highness Zhu Biao did not enjoy, and he received the order and said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
"The son thanked his father." The surprise in Zhu Di's heart was difficult to communicate with outsiders, and he still wanted to try to win over Mao Xiang, but he didn't expect his father to directly hand over the entire Jinyiwei to himself, and this trust really surprised him.
With Jinyiwei, Zhu Di is equivalent to an extra pair of eyes, able to see the dynamics of the world clearly, and no longer have to worry about news blockage.
"Get up."
Zhu Yuanzhang put away the fishing rod, and he felt that the operation of the country in his body was handed over a few points, and it was obvious that the transfer of authority would also bring about changes in the fortunes of the country.
About sixty and a half percent of the national fortune is still coiled in his body, he is thinking about how to hand over the national fortune to Zhu Di, so he has no intention of fishing, recalling that Zhu Di lived in Beiping before, so he asked: "How many princesses and imperial grandsons are there, how long will it take to arrive?" ”
"There are about six days left before we can reach Yingtian."
"The defense of Beiping?"
"It's been properly arranged, there will be no problems."
"That's fine." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "You need to be more attentive to the affairs of the government and not waste it." ”
"Erchen knows, please rest assured."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought of Zhu Biao, who was likely to be difficult to return to because of years of dealing with government affairs, and suddenly felt that this government should find some people to share the burden, at least a few guys who made some suggestions, otherwise relying on Zhu Di alone, he was really worried about another wave of news of the prince's death.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The affairs of the government are complicated, and there are many daily affairs, the fourth, you will discuss a feasible method with the six departments, and then hand it over to me." ”
Zhu Di nodded and said, "Erchen will do it." ”
Although his father didn't say it very clearly, Zhu Di still understood that he was probably looking for some courtiers to help deal with government affairs.
Previously, my father relied on the influence of Hu Weiyong's case to decisively abolish the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, and the prime minister system of more than 2,000 years was directly terminated.
However, the impact of the dismissal of the prime minister is multifaceted, and the advantage is that the emperor can directly communicate with the six ministries, and all government affairs should be handled by the emperor, avoiding the possibility of powerful ministers stealing the country.
But the bad aspects are naturally very prominent, and all the military affairs are backlogged on the shoulders of the emperor alone, which is equivalent to something that cannot be done. The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and the government affairs to be dealt with every day are like a small mountain, and it is really difficult to deal with it with the energy of only one person.
Although the emperor is the most powerful person in the world, after all, he is only a human being, not an immortal, where will he have inexhaustible energy, plus in addition to government affairs, the emperor also needs to deal with other things, and if the backlog is down, even the iron man will have to be crushed.
Even a diligent and conscientious emperor can't stand so much daily government torture, and after a long time, it is inevitable that he will be weak, thus a vicious circle, and eventually it will be difficult to return, and he will die with a whimper.
Zhu Di felt in his heart, this matter is a bit troublesome, it is obvious that he can't re-set up an official position similar to the prime minister, and there is no doubt that he is slapping his father's face if he really does this, but if he just summons his courtiers to deal with government affairs together, it will be unjustifiable, easy to be criticized, and it is very easy to go wrong.
You have to think of a foolproof solution!
In the original history, after Zhu Dijing's martyrdom, he felt that the government affairs were complicated and difficult to handle, so he set up a cabinet to help deal with government affairs, and with the passage of time, the cabinet grew into a more terrifying behemoth than the prime minister, seemingly without power, in fact, the power was unlimited, and almost took over the entire Ming Dynasty.
This is also the reason why Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Wanli did not go to court, and the Ming Dynasty was still able to keep running.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang also moved his mind at this moment, not that he had thought of Da Ming more than a hundred years later, but purely because he was worried that the newly appointed prince would be exhausted.
There are a lot of things, but there is no need to be in a hurry, if you cook a small meal in a big country, it is the right thing to do.
……
As soon as he returned to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, Mao Xiang received an urgent report.
"At three o'clock, Lan Yuan, the righteous son of Liangguo, left the mansion and went out of the sky."
Mao Xiang squinted slightly, and he suddenly felt that this matter was extraordinary, and it would never be simple for Lan Yu's most trusted Yizi to do it personally, it must involve confidential matters, otherwise he could let someone handle it.
Immediately, Mao Xiang said: "Call Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi Jiang Zhen to come!" ”
Soon, Jiang Xuan, the small banner of Jinyiwei, hurried over, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Jiang Xuan, Xiaoqi of Jinyiwei, see the commander." ”
"Go down and guard the door, and no one will enter without my permission!"
Mao Xiang waved back left and right, his eyes lowered slightly, glanced at Jiang Xuan, saw that he looked upright, nodded, and said, "I have read your book of impermanence, you are meticulous and good at studying, which is very good." ”
"Praise from Lord Xie."
"There is a confidential matter that needs to be dealt with today, you have a smart mind and outstanding ability, this matter is entrusted to you, and it must be handled properly."
Jiang Xuan: "Please show me, I will do my best." ”
