People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 40 Zhu Yuanzhang and his son are ready to test the cabinet system!
After hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao felt really uncomfortable.

At first, it was said that the fall of the Ming Dynasty started with Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang was still not convinced.

But so far, the reasons given by Chen Han are enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to approve.

From the moment he deposed the prime minister, everything that followed had slipped into an irreversible abyss.

This is true whether it is the establishment of a cabinet or the rule of secret agents.

Chen Han gave these two comparisons, which also inspired Zhu Yuanzhang and his son a lot.

After asking these questions, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao left first.

Not long after, Ling Han also left Chen Han.

The issues discussed today are really profound.

Chen Han did not provide the so-called good system, because even future generations could not provide it at all.

A very simple reason.

At a time like the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for the Zhu Ming royal family to implement people-centered politics.

As long as it is an imperial system, it is inevitable to fall into a rut, and it is meaningless to say it or not.

As Ling Han said, when a village chief has been in power for more than ten years, he can no longer tolerate anyone challenging his authority, let alone Zhu Yuanzhang, who has been emperor for more than 20 years, how can he safely and boldly let the power in his hands slip away.

As mentioned before, delegating [-]% ​​of power is already Zhu Yuanzhang’s biggest bottom line.

After coming out of Chen Han, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son became even more silent.

The father and son stood in the farming pavilion. In the cold wind, they didn't feel the wind was so cold.

On the contrary, Chen Han's words chilled their hearts.

They once felt that after listening to Chen Han's words, even if they were not real history, even if Chen Han might be talking about rhetoric, they had learned a profound lesson for themselves.

After the prime minister was abolished, there were already signs of a series of subsequent problems.

First of all, his prince's health is getting worse and worse. This is due to overwork.

Even though Zhu Biao was so capable, it was already like this. Later emperors grew up in the East Palace and had fine clothes and fine food since childhood. How could they be able to undertake such heavy state affairs?

It is possible to then slack off and seek help from ministers or even eunuchs.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has found the root cause, he has been unwilling to speak with his hands behind his back.

An emperor like him is suspicious of any minister.

He always felt that civil servants and bureaucrats were harming the people and people like him.

After he became emperor, he used very cruel methods against civil servants, but now he had to face the fact that he might need the help of these officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao: "Boss, do you think we should establish a cabinet?
Knowing that this cabinet may develop into what Chen Han said was the literati and bureaucrats taking power, the emperor had to use eunuchs to contain the literati and bureaucrats. Do you think this or that should be established? "

Zhu Biao pondered for a while and said, "Listening to Chen Han's helpless tone just now, I think it is imperative to establish a cabinet.

Even though we know that it may develop into what Chen Han said, there is a saying that goes well, I am guilty, not all directions are guilty, all directions are guilty, and the fault is mine. Even if Ming Dynasty will be destroyed one day, we can only Be encouraged to do it.

Moreover, the emperor's lack of virtue and ability are the reasons why the cabinet cannot be a helper.

I, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, should embrace all rivers and have a broad mind.

What should be strengthened is the cultivation of princes, rather than fear of cabinet ministers.

So dad, son means that the cabinet should be established.

However, cabinet ministers should not select people from the six ministries. They should search all over the world to find those who understand the people at the bottom and have ambitions to directly promote them to cabinet ministers.

Moreover, the term of each cabinet minister shall not exceed three years. After the expiration of the term, he will continue to return to his original position. However, during the performance evaluation of the Ministry of Personnel, he can be promoted on the basis of merit in the future.

In this way, the cabinet could take into account the promotion paths for the emperor's assistants and officials, and even better train officials.

Ministers with experience in local governance can also be brought to the emperor's side to let the emperor understand the real underlying situation.The term of office is only three years, which also eliminates the possibility of officials colluding with cronies.

And because cabinet ministers cannot become permanent, but they are a good ladder for future promotions, these officials must be diligent.

Dad, I wonder what my son’s proposal is like? "

Ling Han listened secretly in praise.

After hearing this opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement.

He was also thinking that, just as Chen Han said, some remedial measures must be taken first to leave relatively ample time for future generations to make corrections.

Then start from your own side.

He is finally a shrewd king, and his prince Zhu Biao is even more capable.

These civil servants in the cabinet should be suppressed.

Similarly, with the help of these people, you can also reduce your own workload and the prince's workload, allowing the prince to have time to rest.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed after making his decision, "In the meantime, we should first resolve the matter of establishing the cabinet. As for the matter of getting close to Chen Han, let Jiang Du have more contact with Chen Han.

Ling Han, how is Princess Jiangdu doing with your dialect studies? "

Ling Han replied: "Your Majesty, the princess is very smart, and in just a few days, she has become something special.

Although there are still some words that are slightly inaccurate, but with more contact with Chen Han and in the process of asking each other, I should be able to polish them more smoothly.

Moreover, I have roughly told Princess Jiangdu about Chen Han’s situation, and she is very interested.

There is no need to worry about the princess's machine recognition ability, she will definitely be able to complete this task. "

The reason why Ling Han was so happy was because he finally found that he seemed to be able to break free.

Although he admired Chen Han very much, he was young, but the truth and summary he said were very profound, which even an old man in his fifties like Ling Han admired.

Especially what Chen Han said, the golden mean believed by the Chinese will never simply distinguish between good and bad between people, but there is a gray area in between.

The same goes for imperial power. The reason why eunuchs and scholar-bureaucrats are at odds with each other is because the emperor's ability to mediate is insufficient.

There is also what Chen Han said, the system is not wrong, it is the people who are wrong. The rule of man and the rule of law were summarized by Chen Han in a few simple sentences.

Ling Han deeply admired these remarks, but he also understood that the more he came into contact with Chen Han and the more he knew, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

Let Princess Jiangdu talk to him.

It's enough that he can take time out and concentrate on building the non-existent Yashan Village.

He's going to run away.

After the father and son made their decision, they didn't speak for a long time.

I don't know when, Zhu Yuanzhang finally said: "Chen Han is indeed a surprise given to Ming Dynasty by God."

Zhu Biao nodded and smiled, but said nothing.

He always thought so.

He was happy that his father finally accepted this.

Princess Jiangdu, who received the news that she was about to meet Chen Han, was extremely nervous at this time.

When she promised her father, she said that she was willing to devote herself to the court.

But when it came time to actually go to the battlefield, she was beating a drum in her heart.

She was eager to see what kind of person Chen Han was, but she was also afraid that she wouldn't be able to complete the task. In short, she was so nervous that she couldn't sleep...
