I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 106 Lao Zhu: God does not let us down!Just do it!
In fact, Lao Zhu has been thinking about this.

Delegate power, lest others take the opportunity to take away power.

Don't let it go, as the emperor, he is really too busy.

Because of this, there was an institution like the Jin Yiwei to supervise all officials.

But Lao Zhu also gradually realized that Jin Yiwei had too much power and was not supervised, and he gradually gained the momentum of being in trouble.

Prior to this, he had decreed to deprive Jin Yiwei of his power to arrest and examine cases, but the implementation was not thorough.

Because Jin Yiwei was completely abolished, Lao Zhu was worried.

He needs someone to help him monitor the officials.

Zhu Yunxuan's secret play system helped him solve this problem very well.

The secret performance given by the minister is itself a very good secret supervision.

Anyone can report to the emperor.

Everyone is worried that they will be snitched on.

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

They didn't dare to hide it anymore.

Because everyone will doubt it, if you don't tell it yourself, others will reveal it to the emperor.

No one can trust anyone.

"However, there may be problems with using a leather case to reach the emperor directly. It is necessary to prevent people with ulterior motives from poisoning or placing explosives in the memorial."

"It is best to have the 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 to death.

There are no bombs that are likely to explode on contact or that are timed to explode.

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

By then, it will be possible to create it.

Lao Zhu nodded. Although it was absolutely unnecessary, he also praised his grandson's meticulous thinking.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson has a few more suggestions." Zhu Yunxuan said crisply.

"Say it quickly, say it quickly." Lao Zhu's excitement was palpable, and he was looking forward to his suggestion even more.

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

In history, the Ming Dynasty used literature to control military affairs, mainly from Ming Renzong.

Prior to this, only when Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen was in power, the status of civil servants was far higher than that of military officers.

But later, during the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di successfully seized power, and the long-prepared path of the civil servant group to rise to power was once again interrupted.

Neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Zhu Di tried to use literature to control military affairs.

Although the status of civil servants is also high, the honorable group, which is dominated by military generals, should 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 the civil officials take power and the military commanders are in a subordinate position.

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

The military has always only served politics.

After all, the country cannot always be in a state of large-scale war involving nationwide mobilization.

Not to mention that many of the military generals in this era had extremely low educational levels and could not even read a few Chinese characters. They could lead troops and charge into battle, but it was unrealistic to compete with civil servants for power in the court.

If we really want to give them too much military power, the court will not be at ease.

Zhu Yunzhen said: "Choose generals or officials who are good at military affairs and set up a special military affairs office. It is similar to the advisory office that handles government affairs. It is also in front of the emperor and is separated from the advisory affairs. It is responsible for handling the daily affairs of the army. Similarly, all military affairs If there are any important or secret memorials, it will be decided by the emperor."

"Military affairs belong to military affairs, government affairs belong to government affairs, and there is no contradiction."

"As long as military and political coordination is needed, the emperor will call them to discuss matters together, and they will work separately at ordinary times."

Military and political separation is the basic configuration of modern governments in later generations.

After the separation, it was difficult for the civil service group to intervene in military affairs.

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

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

"Good! Good! Good!" Lao Zhu applauded when he heard this.

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

It is handled by the prime minister and the Taiwei respectively.

However, the later establishment of the three provinces and six ministries system strengthened the emperor's power, but mixed military and government affairs together.

Zhu Yunxuan's method was to separate them again and ensure that power belonged to the emperor. Lao Zhu naturally agreed.

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

Although the Ming Dynasty also emphasized the importance of confidentiality, in fact, the entire court was like a leaky sieve, with no secrets at all.

Regarding this point, Zhu Yunxi was also very speechless.

In fact, to a large extent, this is the civil service group, and it is intentional.

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

"All the affairs of the court, courtiers' memorabilia, correspondence, and various documents are all kept strictly confidential, and outsiders are not allowed to hear them. They can be divided into three levels: top secret, confidential, and secret."

"Each level can also be further divided to increase the level of confidentiality when necessary."

"If any confidential documents are leaked, they will be severely punished."

Lao Zhu stroked his beard and said, "That's a good idea."

He smiled and asked, "How come you have so many good ideas in your little head?"

Of course that was learned by later generations.

Zhu Yunxuan thought to himself, pretended to be embarrassed, and said: "Grandson just wanted to relieve Grandpa Huang's worries, so there must be a proper way, so he thought hard to come up with these ways."

"We, Lao Zhu, are truly worthy of our family to have a grandson like you."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

He also said: "However, although your method is good, if this happens, the civil officials will lose their authority, and they will definitely rise up and oppose."

Zhu Yunxuan nodded.

This is to be expected.

The objections are all readily available.

As the Son of Heaven, he is entrusted by Heaven to govern all people on behalf of Heaven. How can he entrust government affairs to the Counselor's Office and military affairs to the Military Affairs Office?

That will not work.

You must be diligent and diligent, and everything must be handled by the emperor himself.

Never be lazy, indulge in pleasure, and play with things.

If the emperor dared to do this, they would dare to fight to the death to remonstrate.

In fact, the real reason is that the Advisory Council has no real power, it is just a secretarial institution, and the important affairs of the country are still decided by the emperor.

But the emperor can deal with it easily, and the civil servants have even less power.

Of course they quit.

If they are really entrusted with important tasks, all major affairs of the general and state will be handed over to civilian officials.

Then they can change their faces immediately.

The emperor governs with his head bowed, and all officials perform their duties.

Governance by doing nothing is the foundation of all ages.

Emperor, just stay in the palace and act as a sign. The ministers of state will take care of it, so I don't need to worry about it.

Zhu Yunxi laughed and said, "Grandson has a way to make them unable to object."

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

Zhu Yunzhen said: "My grandson also learned it from Grandpa Huang."

"Still using the method that Grandpa Huang dealt with them before, let them take the initiative to ask for an order, set up a counseling office, and act as an agent for government affairs."

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

"After they repeatedly persuaded and advised, Grandpa Huang pretended to adopt it as a last resort, and then immediately announced a series of counseling measures at the same time with lightning speed."

"By the time they realize that they have worked in vain and have not gained any power, but have lost it, it is already too late."

"At that time, they could only pinch their noses to recognize it."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed.

"My son, you learn so fast!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Okay, let's do it!"
