Chapter 293: Ancestors and Grandchildren Discuss Politics

"Grandpa~ The idea of grandpa is too immature, what do you think about setting up a cabinet, can you teach grandchildren~"

Lao Zhu's face was wrinkled and stretched, these two sentences were really comfortable for Lao Zhu.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said in a deep voice,

"Eldest grandson, we think that the matter of setting up a cabinet will do far more harm than good.

First, the power in your hands has been divided by them! What was the prime minister's name at the beginning? That's called the Prime Minister!

Whether it's Cheng or Zai, that's what Fu means! Give us the emperor's master!

can be said to be so, isn't Hu Weiyong an example, the prime minister, sandwiched between the emperor and the officials, has to fall to the officials in the end,

Take the Chang family as an example, the slaughter of the family is not towards his own family, so what's the matter?!

In the end, the power in our hands will also be divided. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said something, Zhu Biao nodded straightly, obviously for whether to set up a cabinet, Zhu Biao was more inclined to his father's side, and his attitude was negative.

The prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, coordinating the hundred officials,

These two functions are in conflict.

Since the prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, it means that he represents the interests of the hundred officials.

He also needs to coordinate with hundreds of officials, which means that he is doing this from the position of the emperor, so isn't this contradictory?

Does the prime minister represent the position of the emperor or the position of the hundred officials?

Lao Zhu entered the state and continued, "Also, eldest grandson, don't blame grandpa for saying something ugly, you might as well restore the prime minister."

Above the court, what I am most afraid of is that there are two political departments, and this cabinet is no longer a political one, but a multi-political one.

No matter how bad the prime minister is, he is also a voice.

But in the cabinet, several officials, how many voices have they become? Isn't this forcing them to form a party for personal gain?

Let's see this is not good! ”

Lao Zhu is Lao Zhu in the end, even if he has not tried the cabinet system, but he can see the disadvantages of the cabinet at a glance.

The biggest problem in the later stage of the cabinet's development is the formation of party disputes.

Each cabinet official represents each other, and refines the interests of each part of the court officials, and these officials in the cabinet are definitely more focused on themselves and the interests of the official group they represent than the interests of the court.

When they have the same goals, they form cliques within the cabinet, and when they don't have the same goals, they turn their heads and attack each other.

At that time, in the cabinet, where there is still official business, the contention will be all private affairs!

"Third...."Old Zhu paused, and lowered his voice a lot, "Eldest grandson, this world is your world in the end, and it is the world surnamed Zhu,

As soon as you mess with the cabinet, in addition to not having the name of the emperor, in fact, what the emperor can do, they can also do not badly, isn't this just handing over power?

Do you say it's still your world? ”

Zhu Biao nodded again and again when he heard this, looked at Zhu Xiongying, and couldn't help but say,

"Eldest son, if you don't think about it again, what your grandfather said makes sense."

Zhu Biao's attitude is also very clear, in this matter, he and his father are the same.

Lao Zhu's words are not alarmist, they will actually happen, just like the two sentences that Lao Zhu left to the royal family before he died,

First, the prime minister must not be reinstated.

Second, eunuchs must not be reused.

What's not right?

Moreover, Lao Zhu values the Zhu family and loves the people, which is not in conflict at all.

In the final analysis, the dynasties of thousands of years in the Central Plains have come over like this, and the idea of family and world has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it is not reasonable for Lao Zhu to come up with a new state system out of thin air.

Even if later generations criticized the Central Plains feudal dynasty more, but in this era, the central autocratic system is undoubtedly the most suitable for the Central Plains, only better than words, China can last for thousands of years, and the central feudal system is indispensable.

I heard that lifting the bowl to eat, putting down the bowl and scolding the mother, the Chinese civilization has benefited from the central feudal system to this day, and later people stand on the modern standpoint and criticize the central feudal system as worthless, which is really unreasonable.

Therefore, Lao Zhu's idea is very clear,

This Jiangshan should be surnamed Zhu.

As long as you don't touch this basic plate, everything else is easy to say, the eldest grandson's behavior of setting up a cabinet is, in Lao Zhu's opinion, too dangerous.

Zhu Xiongying was silent for a while, then raised his head and said,

"Grandpa, can your grandson tell me what he thinks?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and said happily,

"Well, you say!

We also want to hear what you think. ”

Zhu Xiongying said, "Grandpa, in fact, the establishment of the cabinet is a historical trend, even if the grandson is not established, it will have to be set up sooner or later." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Eldest grandson, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Grandpa, what do you think, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more political affairs in the future.

You have been reviewing political affairs for decades, and you can't do it all day, and you may be able to bear it when you reach your grandchildren.

But after that, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was born in the deep palace and pampered, where did the experience and will come from to review, such a heavy political matter?

In the end, the power still has to be sidelined, so the grandson thinks that while the grandson can control it, he will complete the system first.

It's better than not being prepared when the time comes, and there will be another disaster. ”

As soon as Zhu Xiongying's words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang changed color, and even Zhu Biao, who had always supported his father, looked slightly moved.

Although Zhu Xiongying has the same fortune with the country, he has no intention of being the emperor all the time, and if he has been the emperor for too long, he will inevitably go to mediocrity in the future, and I am afraid that Zhu Xiongying is no exception.

Lao Zhu was silent for a long time, he had to admit that what the eldest grandson said was reasonable.

The existence of Zhu Yuanzhang is a special case, after the abolition of the prime minister and Zhongshu Province, the most direct impact is that these political affairs that should have been handled by the prime minister and Zhongshu Province are all pressed on the emperor alone.

Lao Zhu can resist, it doesn't mean that the future emperor can resist.

Just like Zhu Xiongying said, the little emperors in the future will grow up in the deep palace and be pampered, where can there be such extraordinary willpower and energy as Zhu Yuanzhang,

Aren't they enjoying life? Will we choose to live as an ascetic emperor?

And Zhu Biao on the side was even more deeply touched, Zhu Xiongying's words did not point to Zhu Biao, but the words were stuck in Zhu Biao's heart.

Isn't this my fucking life?!

Zhu Biao made up his mind not to be the emperor, and it was also because of this that when he thought of himself, he would have to review political affairs like his father for the rest of his life, to be honest, Zhu Biao really couldn't hold back.

Even Zhu Biao can't bear it, let alone the emperor in the future?

Zhu Biao is too touched.

The scales in my heart began to tilt in favor of the eldest son.

The father said that it was the system, and the eldest son said that it was personnel.

All make sense, and there are pros and cons.
