Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 312 Chapter Lin Che: If you can’t see through history, you better stop fussing!

"Yes, that's it."

Lin Che leaned on the chair, changed into 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 sound the alarm for you. Don't think that everything will be fine once you become the emperor. You must have a clear understanding of yourself at all times."

"Instead of asking you to cut off the prime minister system with one knife."

"This kind of system that 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."

"Is it your turn to do something drastic?"

"The sages were neither fools nor mediocre people."

Lin Che put her elbows on the table, raised her chin with one palm, and said to the depressed old Junun:

"What method to choose to govern the world must be determined based on the current actual situation."

"If you can't see through the long history, you'd better not bother."

“The more you do, the more you make wrong.”

"Understood?"

After hearing the other party's unquestionable advice, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but let out a long sigh, feeling a little mixed at the moment.

If you could see through time, why would you have made so many wrong steps?

If you don't seek death, you will die, if you seek death randomly, you will still die.

No matter how hard it is to escape death, isn't it possible that Ming Dynasty is hopeless?

Think of this.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a splitting headache.

"Then, if that's the case..."

"Can't we kill Hu Weiyong?"

"This is too cowardly."

Facing Lao Zhu's intentional or unintentional probing, Lin Che couldn't help but shake her head and laugh:

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

"Otherwise, if you just kill the person, who will do the work for you?"

"Oh, by the way, don't count on me, it's impossible for me."

"You are just too impatient, making wrong steps and making mistakes. You always make yourself passive and repeat the process of digging holes and filling them."

"Don't you feel stupid?"

Upon hearing this.

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned back on his chair weakly, feeling as depressed as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and sighed:

"Mr. Lin."

"Stop teasing us."

"We know you must have a good idea, why don't you help us come up with ideas!"

"We are really anxious."

Lin Che didn't care about this and waved her hands indifferently.

"There is a way, but..."

"Mr. Lin just said it's okay."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that there was something going on, he quickly straightened his body and said seriously: "Don't be worried."

"Say whatever you need to say, I promise you won't have a problem with it."

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

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

"You understand what I mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded thoughtfully, but he didn't think there was any problem. He couldn't let others work in vain.

What's more, this is the first time Lin Che has taken the initiative to speak. Isn't this the reason for instigation and dissatisfaction?

"Mr. Lin, tell me the number."

"We won't bargain."

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

"Besides, do you think I'll be short of money?"

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

"This...is also what I'm talking about..."

"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 thought about it yet."       "I'll take it for now, you owe me a favor."

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

Free things are the most expensive, so what are worldly things?

But the favor debt owed by the emperor can be put to great use.

It will be more convenient for his later plans.

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

"no problem."

"Mr. Lin just thinks about it slowly."

"Anyway...we owe you a lot of favors, sir. Don't bite anyone if there are too many lice."

"We have no objection."

The words fall.

Lin Che raised her chin and glanced at the other person, not bothering to talk nonsense with him, and went straight to the point:

"In short, a system such as the cabinet is not completely unfeasible, but the method you use is wrong."

"This will create endless hidden dangers."

"method?"

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

"Yes, that's the method."

Lin Che said methodically:

"To put it bluntly, the cabinet cannot be a serious institution, and cabinet ministers cannot have formal status."

"In terms of nature, it is a small group convened by the emperor who is personally selected and appointed above the formal bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty."

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

"First of all, it is undisputed that the emperor's desire for power is unlimited."

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

"So the monarchs of all dynasties have authorized the scholar-bureaucrats to work for them, and the same is true for the prime minister system."

After a pause, Lin Che continued:

"Take the current Ming Dynasty as an example. Memorials submitted by officials from the six ministries must first pass the screening of Zhongshu Province before they can reach the emperor's hands."

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

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

"Does that make sense?

Zhu Yuanzhang listened with interest and nodded solemnly in response.

"For example, the Ming Dynasty is currently eager to eliminate the threat from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but there is a military department and a household department between the emperor and the frontline generals."

“It’s so inefficient to pass information up and down.”

"You should be aware of it."

Lin Che smiled and said: "At this point, you can first recruit the senior officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War as the main body of the cabinet."

"It has become a comprehensive organization that collects, organizes, reviews, and archives collections."

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

"Cabinet ministers have no distinguished status and no institutional guarantee of rights as members of an 'illegal organization'."

"Their power depends entirely on the emperor's 'nepotism', which also makes cabinet ministers absolutely obey the emperor's orders at all times."

"On the outside, it seems to be very beautiful, but if you take a closer look, you will see that this is actually the Supervisor of Ceremonies."

"You can't live without the emperor."

This statement came out.

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

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

Without the protection of the imperial power, it goes without saying that there will be a tragic end.

Comparing him to the Supervisor of Ceremonies is quite vivid.

"Wonderful!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up, clasped his hands and praised, "Mr. Lin's brilliant plan."

"Why didn't we think of that?"

“In this way, it not only easily checks and balances the power of the minister, but also reduces the workload.”

“It’s wonderful to kill two birds with one stone.”
