Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

With the deaths of Hu Weiyong, Mei Sizu and others, and Zhu Yuanzhang's announcement of the punishment for these people.

Many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the emperor had done a great job this time.

The matter was not exaggerated and remained within an acceptable range.

But then, Zhu Yuanzhang used practical actions to tell them that it was too early for them to be happy.

Where is this?
The real trick is yet to come!

"This bastard Hu Weiyong is really beyond my imagination!

I really didn't expect that this bastard would be so courageous!

How dare you do such a thing!

Is this Hu Weiyong's fault?
It must be because of this bastard, he is so bold and reckless! "

In the court, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone and asked himself questions and answered them.

“But after thinking about it, I feel that this matter cannot be blamed solely on Hu Weiyong.

The one who is most guilty is the prime minister's position right under your butt!

If he didn't have the position of prime minister, this bastard Hu Weiyong would never have been so bold.

This is called carrying a sharp knife and having murderous intentions!
Moreover, if he did not sit in this position, even if that bastard Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to do something, he would be powerless.

I can’t get it out, it’s such a big noise!
So, after much thought, I feel that the most important reason for this matter is not because of Hu Weiyong.

But it’s because of the prime minister system!

After becoming prime ministers, many people unconsciously feel that they are capable and want to do something and compete with us.

Therefore, this time, it is not enough to just get rid of Hu Weiyong and others.

We have to dig out the root!

Solve the culprit!
Therefore, we decided to abolish the prime minister system!
Abolish the Secretariat as well!"

In the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone and told them the decision he had made.

When everyone heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, there was an uproar.

What Zhu Yuanzhang said was mainly beyond their expectations!
Is this something a human can do?!
When many people heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said at the beginning, they doubted whether they had heard it wrong.

Given Zhu Yuanzhang's character, how could he have let this matter slip so easily?

Now it seems that they were overthinking!
Moreover, many of them were mentally prepared.

But now, after hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he was still shocked and completely confused.

No...what is the emperor saying?

What on earth was he thinking?

How bold does he have to be to say such words and do such things?
Are they actually planning to abolish the prime minister system and the Secretariat?
How bold and arrogant is he?
Does he know what abolishing the prime minister means?
Do you know what the abolition of the Secretariat means?

The Prime Minister is a system that has existed for many years!
How dare he destroy it? !
In everyone's mind, the prime minister was as natural as the emperor above their heads.

If they didn't become the prime minister, many people would feel particularly uncomfortable.

Who would have thought that the emperor would now abolish it!

This is really too shocking!
There was complete silence in the court for a while.

However, countless people's expressions changed drastically and they became extremely nervous.

Their eyes met each other.

After a moment of silence, someone finally couldn't help but speak.

“Your Majesty, the prime minister system has a long history.

It has long been proven to be a particularly useful policy.

Where there is a country, there is a prime minister. Without a prime minister to help manage affairs, the complicated government affairs would be too much for even the emperor to handle.

This system has existed for so long, so there must be a reason for its existence.

Your Majesty, please think twice!"

After a period of silence, someone finally couldn't help but stand up, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, and said these words.

This person was none other than Grand Secretary Song Lian.

At the same time, he was also the teacher of Crown Prince Zhu Biao and a great Confucian scholar of his time.

After hearing Song Lian's words, the others could not help but stand up and oppose this matter and advise Zhu Yuanzhang.

There are many different opinions, each with its own reasons.

Are you looking at the problem from a different perspective?
However, if we really summarize it, there is only one meaning behind what these ministers said.

That is, no matter what, the prime minister system must not be abolished!
The Secretariat cannot be abolished!
If this happens, it will bring many problems to the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Yuanzhang sat here and listened for a while, becoming more and more impatient!
After waiting for a while, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

With a slap, he hit the imperial desk hard.

There was a bang.

The Fengtian Hall, which seemed a little noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.

"What you're talking about is bullshit!"

Zhu Yuanzhang faced his ministers directly and fired at them closely.

"What do you mean the sky will fall without a prime minister?
We, the emperor, are the real ruler of the world!
Is the Prime Minister really that important? I don't believe it!

Do we have to abolish the prime minister system?
I really don’t believe it, the sky is falling!
Let me tell you one more thing. We brought this matter here today not for you to discuss.

I'm not here to ask for your opinion.

Rather, this is a notification from us to tell you that from now on, the Prime Minister is gone!

The Secretariat is also gone!

That's it!

I have already made up my mind whether the prime minister can be deposed or not.

No need to say more!

Who dares to do this again and maintain the prime minister system?

Let’s see that he had an affair with Hu Weiyong.

Someone wants to overturn Hu Weiyong's verdict!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice became more and more domineering.

Originally, there were still some people who wanted to come out and persuade Zhu Yuanzhang not to go astray.

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he suddenly fell silent.

I dare not say anything more.

What Zhu Yuanzhang said was really too scary.

Once you speak out about this matter, you will be labeled as a member of Hu Weiyong's party.

Who dares to do this?
At this time, Hu Weiyong's turmoil had not yet completely subsided.

If this is confirmed, it will be labeled as Hu Weiyong's gang.

Next, he will definitely be killed by the emperor!

Although the position of prime minister is important, the life and property of oneself and one's family are equally important.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty belongs to Zhu Yuanzhang. If Zhu Yuanzhang wants to do whatever he wants, then let him do it!

If things really messed up, that would be Zhu Yuanzhang's fault.

It has nothing to do with these people.

There were also people who wanted to continue speaking out and were prepared to fight the emperor to the end.

After all, what the emperor abolished was the prime minister system!

This is the pinnacle that these officials can reach.

As a result, now this peak is about to be destroyed by Zhu Yuanzhang!

This is equivalent to directly cutting off the highest path that many officials can reach!
This damages the huge interests of all officials.

How could they endure this situation?
However, look at Zhu Yuanzhang who was sitting on the dragon throne, looking at them with a donkey face.

They suppressed these thoughts and dared not say anything more. On the one hand, they were afraid of death, and on the other hand, they knew what kind of character the current emperor had.

If they could change the emperor's mind at the risk of their lives, that would be fine.

But the key is, relying on their understanding of the current emperor.

If they really dared to do this, the emperor would definitely kill them.

The key point is that after killing him, Zhu Yuanzhang would never listen to their advice and abolish the prime minister system.

Next, just do what you should do.

Their deaths would have been in vain.

In this situation, naturally, no more words will be said.

This is the authority of the founding emperor!

This is the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang dared to do such a thing at this time.

Of course, even if it was him, if he hadn't relied on the legitimate reasons created by this guy Hu Weiyong.

Even if he was the emperor, it would not be so easy to destroy him in one fell swoop under such circumstances.

"Okay, since you all remain silent, you all agree to this.

This was done, and the prime minister and the Secretariat were dismissed.

From now on, the six ministries will be directly responsible to us and report to us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his ministers and said these words.

When everyone heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, they cursed him in their hearts as shameless.

I think Zhu Yuanzhang is too shameless.

What does it mean that silence means agreement?
It's obviously you, but you didn't even give people like us a chance to speak, okay?
At this time, he said such words, he is not worthy of being a son of man!
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as Zhu Yuanzhang!

Excessive!

It's too much!
Why doesn't Zhu Yuanzhang, such a shameless person, just die?!
While people were cursing Zhu Yuanzhang for being shameless, many people couldn't help but sneer in their hearts.

Waiting to see the joke.

Zhu Yuanzhang, this bastard, is so shameless that he wants to take this opportunity to madly consolidate power?

He thought he was so smart to do such a thing.

I feel that he can use these methods to hold a lot of power in his hands.

In fact, this is not the case at all.

Too much to chew.

Zhu Yuanzhang, this bastard, is just a cowherd boy who does whatever he wants.

From now on, he will be in trouble!
It is not impossible that the Ming Dynasty will perish because of this!
Do you really think that the prime minister system exists only to fight for power for the emperor?

it's not true!

The existence of the prime minister system also has many advantages.

It plays a huge role in the stability of a country.

Otherwise, why would the prime minister system exist for such a long time?
However, the tyrant Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously unwilling to listen to this.

In that case, let’s just wait and see!
The one who will regret it the most in the future will definitely be Zhu Yuanzhang!

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang could roughly understand what the court officials were thinking.

He didn't care about it.

After seeing this matter passed, he immediately said: "Abolish the prime minister and the Secretariat.

The things we need to do will definitely increase greatly.

Human power is limited. Even if we have super energy, it is still not easy to do it.

Even I can really do all these things and keep them in order.

But can our descendants still do it?

There are not many emperors like me who are vigorous, wise, brave, and have great talents and strategies. "

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, many court officials couldn't help but spit in their hearts!

How shameless must Zhu Yuanzhang be to say such words in public.

It's not embarrassing to praise yourself!

However, even though they cursed in their hearts, many people actually knew that what Zhu Yuanzhang said was actually very correct.

Zhu Yuanzhang's guy really has such great ability.

This guy has so much energy!

There are also some people who think more deeply and feel that the emperor is not fooling around on this matter, but is really thinking about it.

Even these disadvantages have been thought out.

But the key point is, even if we figure out the disadvantages, what then?
There is no good way to avoid this drawback!

Zhu Yuanzhang paused here, giving his ministers some time to think.

Then he continued:
“So, when it comes to this matter, I will definitely not be so careless.

Some arrangements will inevitably be made.

Therefore, we are going to set up a new government office called the Cabinet.

Come and help us handle government affairs in the future.

Only those of the fifth rank can enter the cabinet.

There is no decision-making power, only the power to advise on government affairs.

Responsible for giving us advice.

The decision is in our hands.”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone and mentioned the cabinet system.

After hearing what the emperor said, some people who originally thought that the emperor was fooling around or were ready to laugh at the emperor were stunned.

Obviously, he didn't expect that the emperor had a backup plan.

It turns out that the emperor did not abolish the prime minister system and the Secretariat out of impulse.

The emperor actually had some very far-reaching considerations on this matter.

Many people here were shocked.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that the emperor's plan is indeed quite clever.

From the emperor's description of this matter, it can be seen that the cabinet must be very useful today.

In other words, it has acquired certain functions of the Secretariat or the Prime Minister.

The most important thing is that it is different from the previous Secretariat and Prime Minister.

The Secretariat and the Prime Minister originally directly commanded the six ministries and had great power.

For many matters, the prime minister can make decisions directly without going through the emperor.

But now, the six ministries directly connect with the emperor.

A cabinet was set up on the emperor's side, which was separate and had no power to decide government affairs.

I can only help the emperor with advice.

In this way, it seems that the prime minister's monopoly can be greatly reduced, while ensuring the effective operation of government affairs.

This emperor is truly a talented person!
But... why is this style different from that of previous emperors?
In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang would not consider things so carefully when doing things.

There are also some people who think quickly and think that there cannot be only one person in the cabinet.

There must be different levels among them.

So... who will be the head of the cabinet?

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice: "We are going to let the prince serve as the chief minister of the cabinet."
