Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 54: Will the Qing Dynasty destroy the Ming Dynasty? Zhu Yuanzhang’s horror!
"Imperial power and prime minister power, master and servant conflict?"

Zhu Yuanzhang walked slowly, then suddenly paused, and his eyes lit up.

Yes, as long as the economic foundation does not change, he actually still has a choice!

That is to extremely strengthen the imperial power and trample the power of the prime minister into the dust! Treat the people who actually bear the responsibilities of prime minister as your slaves!

However, what kind of twisted mentality can lead to such a method?

To be honest, this is a historical limitation, or a lack of imagination.

Because since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the prime ministers have been "almost" equal to the emperor; during the Three Kingdoms period, the power of prime ministers such as Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang even exceeded that of the emperor; until the three provinces and six ministries system of the Tang Dynasty was completely formed, the prime minister became " "Tong Zhongshu's family is in peace", from one person to multiple people, the power of the prime minister began to be weakened; and in the Song Dynasty, the prime minister not only lost the power of sitting, but also received more supervision, and the power of the prime minister was even more weakened; until now In the early Ming Dynasty, after the Hu Weiyong case, the prime minister system was completely abolished.

But even Zhu Yuanzhang, who personally abolished the prime minister system, never thought of enslaving the prime minister and fixing him as his slave, because this was seriously contrary to China's political tradition.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Xiongying's voice came out again from the yin and yang sea.

After hearing this, Wang Jing took a breath of cold air. The cold winter air entered his lungs and made him shiver.

The two looked at each other, and Wang Jing could see the horror in Dong Lun's eyes.

——If it is really implemented in this way, I am afraid that the so-called prime minister is just a slave of the emperor!

All I can say is, Your Highness Shengsun, you have met an expert!
But at the same time, there is also an unknown look in their eyes. After all, if they really do this, then they, the great bachelors of the palace, are probably the most likely to become military ministers! This is equivalent to taking a shortcut and climbing to the top in one step.

Although they are not comparable to the previous prime ministers, but similarly, if they follow the normal promotion process, it is a question whether they can reach the rank of minister in this life. The most likely possibility is to stop at the level of left and right minister or left and right chief envoy. , there is no chance of reaching Qingyun at all.

Now that we have the opportunity to reach the top, what's the problem if this cloud is shorter than the other one? It's better than watching helplessly down there for the rest of your life.

"In the Military Aircraft Department, there are nearly ten military aircraft ministers with no rank. They are dispatched and dismissed at will. They kneel down to receive the transcript."

Zhu Yuanzhang chewed these keywords carefully.

At this time, Wang Jing, who was outside, suddenly saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is the face of the country after all."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the hand stove from Ma Sanbao and said with a smile: "We know."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang often thinks of civil servants, he actually respects cultural people. In other words, "Zhu Chongba" who was born as a peasant respects cultural people, but as an emperor, "Zhu Yuanzhang" sometimes must It is not contradictory for my ministers to kill chickens with their heads to scare monkeys.

Therefore, in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang actually did not want to engage in the practice of "kneeling down and taking notes". This really trampled on human dignity under his boots.

And as a majestic emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang's sitting there was enough to make people weak in the knees. He did not need these forms to prove or highlight his authority.

Well, the more people lack something, the more they need to express it. What they truly possess does not need to be expressed.

However, as a public opinion among historians, the Military Aircraft Department established by the Qing Dynasty was used to replace the prime minister system. In fact, it did not rely on these superficial things. It does not matter whether the Military Aircraft Minister is standing or kneeling. Is it difficult to say that the Military Aircraft Minister is standing? Can it change the nature of the Military Aircraft Department? impossible.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not know that this was the system of the Qing Dynasty at this time, what he planned to do was to use the core of it for his own use based on Zhu Xiongying's description.

What is the core of the Military Aircraft Department system?

If we only look at it from the surface, it is that the Minister of Military Aircraft is a dispatch position, has no rank in itself, and is held by multiple people.

But what is the difference between this and the first assistant, second assistant, and cabinet elders of the Ming Dynasty cabinet? Therefore, the real core of the Military Aircraft Department system is that the members of the Military Aircraft Department are personally selected and appointed by the emperor, and can be replaced at any time without any restrictions. Moreover, the Military Aircraft Department only has the power to discuss matters, not decision-making.

In other words, this is a group of "temporary workers" who can only offer opinions and are "servants" of the imperial power.

In the Qing Dynasty, when the emperor changed the military minister, it was a matter of imperial edict. In the Ming Dynasty, changing the chief minister and his ministers was not a concept at all, which would cause shock to the government and the public.

"Wonderful! Our eldest grandson must be the best!"

As a result, although the power of the prime minister has not completely disappeared, the threat to the imperial power has obviously been greatly weakened.

In this way, not only would someone help Zhu Yuanzhang to work and reduce his heavy work burden, but Zhu Yuanzhang would not have to worry too much about the eclipse of imperial power, because he could remove any military minister at any time without paying the price similar to the Hu Weiyong case.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, the grand bachelor beside him, who was holding a stove to keep warm, a smile appeared on his lips: "We intend to set up a military aircraft driver. Are you willing to join it?"

Contempt, question, understand, become, transcend.
Wang Jing and Dong Lun said nothing, and immediately bowed and said: "I am willing to serve your Majesty!"

Nonsense, being able to be the prime minister, even a beggar’s version of the prime minister, is something that many people dream of but cannot achieve!
Zhu Yuanzhang just laughed.

When Wang Jing and Dong Lun came back to their senses, they were also talking to each other.

Yes, this is the secret of how imperial power enslaves prime minister power.

--that power.

As long as the emperor extends an invitation to these low-ranking but talented civil servants, no one can refuse.

So, what is the cost of reaching the sky in one step?

That is to become a slave of the imperial power forever. Your power is given by the emperor, which means that the emperor can take it back at any time, returning you to a state of nothing or even worse, and in order to maintain this power, you must obey the emperor. .

This kind of system makes the prime minister's power completely supported by the imperial power, which of course has disadvantages. This directly leads to the possibility that a time-saving prime minister who can turn the tide will never appear again.

But for Zhu Yuanzhang, the advantages far outweighed the disadvantages. What Zhu Yuanzhang needed most was this system, not a prime minister who could compete with him.

At this time, the dark clouds that enveloped Zhu Yuanzhang's heart had completely dissipated. He was in a good mood and left Wang Jing and Dong Lun's position, took a few steps closer to Yin Yang Qi Hai, and then asked to Yin Yang Qi Hai: "By the way, Da Sun, this system Was it performed over there?"

After an hour, a voice came from Yin Yang Qi Hai.

"No, grandpa, it was implemented after the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty."

"Bang!"

The hand stove in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand fell on the bluestone floor of the Holy Sun Altar. The charcoal inside fell to the ground. Sparks flew everywhere and even burned the black cloak that Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing.

Qing Dynasty, destroy Ming Dynasty? !

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of horror!
