"The cabinet was founded in the outside Ming Dynasty cabinet. It caused a sensation in the history of the Divine Realm, and was finally abolished due to the turmoil of the Divine Realm."

Liang Xu said it briefly, which made Sanyan feel a little incredible.

When Sanyan was outside, he also learned a lot about the research on the outside society, among which he also studied the rectification system of the Ming Dynasty.

"This person is actually outside the State of Chu, but why hasn't he transformed the Divine Realm?"

Since he can create a cabinet, this person must be not simple, and he is still a senior executive of the Divine Realm.

"Okay, that's not the point. Brother Sanyan, you get out of the way, I'll give it a try."

Liang Xu used his strongest attack, but it still had no effect. Even Liang Xu was shocked, which surprised him.

He used the magical realm skills just now, but it seemed that he had no effect at all.

"I understand that the skills of the Divine Realm have been suppressed. After all, the cabinet also suppressed the imperial power to a certain extent. The God Realm also had this trend at the beginning, so in general, the cabinet monument rejected the skills of my God Lord lineage."

Liang Xu communicated with these because the cabinet system in the divine realm was copied by the Ming Dynasty, so there was a great restriction on the power of the divine master.

Let’s talk about the Ming Dynasty outside. In the 13th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Secretariat was abolished and the Prime Minister system was abolished. The former Secretariat's power to govern the government was transferred to the Hanlin Academy. After the cabinet was established, it was transferred to the name of the Cabinet.

In other words, the prototype basis of the cabinet is the Hanlin House’s political discussion model. The cabinet has experienced time development and flourishing branches and leaves, and it has reached its peak by the time of Zhang Juzheng’s chief minister.

But what is important is that the cabinet is an staff organization from beginning to end, with the form of an administrative department, but does not have the power of an administrative department. Administrative powers, such as the management of administrative affairs, enjoy basic functions such as planning, organization, coordination and control.

The cabinet's function is very simple to be responsible for uploading and is an intermediary channel.

The functions of the cabinet are also relatively simple. In the "Ming History? Official Records" in "Ming Huiyao", the cabinet is mainly responsible for "whether the offer is possible, follow the rules and regulations, order the prosecutor's questions, vote for the approval, and approve the common affairs." "Exhibition" is the opinion expressed by the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and submitted it to the emperor.

The emperor accepted the promotion and called "Xianke"; the Grand Secretary and the Emperor expressed their opinions to the left, and advised the emperor to stop him and called "Substitute". This function implies the status of the cabinet's "advisory group" and is not a government department with real power.

Whether the emperor adopts the opinions of the cabinet ministers depends on the emperor, and the status of the cabinet ministers depends on the number of votes adopted by the emperor.

Moreover, the positions under the cabinet are actually all kinds of miscellaneous government affairs in the six ministries, and the cabinet has a great dependence on imperial power.

In short, the cabinet is the product of the development and growth of the feudal centralized monarchy system. It is a kind of maintenance of imperial power and played a certain role in strengthening and consolidating imperial power in the Ming Dynasty.

In the early Ming Dynasty, in order to strengthen the imperial power, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the Secretary of the Central Secretariat and the Prime Minister, he gathered the power of the six ministries. Later, due to government affairs, he established a cabinet to assist the emperor in handling government affairs as an adviser and aide.

Ming Taizu, Ming Chengzu, was a wise monarch and had some regulations on cabinet ministers, saying that "the power of the six ministries cannot be violated or the positions of other ministries should be taken." Even if the cabinet ministers have a very high reputation, they dare not act recklessly.

After Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, the status of cabinet ministers became increasingly prominent, the rank of officials increased, and the number of supervisors was increasing, which achieved the transcendence of the emperor's "private consultant" to the imperial court's "governmental agency".

High power is large in nature. Although the functions are still basic content such as drafting edicts and participating in the coordinated central decision-making consultant, it also plays a certain restrictive role in the imperial power. It can be explained from two places.

First, when Zhang Juzheng was the chief minister of the cabinet, although it was out of the actual demand of monarchy, there was no doubt that because the emperor was young, the empress dowager and the emperor both granted Zhang great power. The successful implementation of the "Wanli New Deal" is a proof. The cabinet ministers are powerful and have a lot of reputation, and are invisible pressure on the imperial power.

Second, the cabinet was originally a private minister, which was inevitable for centralization. The Ming Dynasty also had a distinct political characteristic, "eunuch tyranny and the fight between the cliques."

The emperor allowed the eunuchs around him to read and criticize "report" on their behalf, in order to restrain the power of the cabinet and better safeguard the imperial power. From the development of the eunuch system, it can also be seen that the cabinet has certain constraints on the imperial power.

The prosperity and decline of the cabinet are also a channel for indirectly reflecting changes in imperial power. Among them, due to the ability and character of the emperors in the Ming Dynasty and other reasons, the acceptance and control of the cabinet were different, and the power of the cabinet also changed accordingly.

But overall, the cabinet system is a product of feudal imperial rule and is indelible to strengthen the centralized monarch.

In fact, the issue of "checks and balances" between the cabinet and the imperial power is a dynamic process and needs to be viewed from a developmental perspective.

In the middle and late Yongle period, the power of the cabinet increased, which was specifically reflected in the development of the power of the cabinet ministers. The emperor gave some cabinet ministers the privilege of secretly explaining things, so that the cabinet ministers could better assist the emperor in handling memorials. During the Xuande period, the power of the cabinet ministers was institutionalized.

Until the Zhengde period, the difference between the chief minister and the group assistant of the cabinet further legitimized the power of the cabinet. But at this time, the cabinet could not be said to have fought against the imperial power, and the imperial power always ranks at a high position.

During the Longqing and Wanli periods of Jiajing, the power of the cabinet gradually reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty. Especially during the period when Zhang Juzheng was appointed as the chief minister, the cabinet fully occupied the power of the ministry, which seemed to naturally suppress the imperial power. Although it was the power granted by the emperor to the chief minister, Zhang Juzheng did as the imperial teacher, and as a magistrate, he abolished the court officials and "responded to Mr. Zhang's punishment" for all matters. The cabinet almost usurped the imperial power, and the imperial power was at a disadvantage.

In the middle and late Wanli period, the power of the cabinet was weak and the emperor intended to suppress it. In addition, Zhang Shoufu was in power and the government was in power, and the ministers were afraid to attack the imperial power.

The imperial power was gradually tightening. By the Chongzhen period, the struggle between the cabinet and the imperial power was even more obvious. At that time, the power of the eunuch party was eliminated and the cabinet was facing the problem of reconstruction. The position of the emperor was already very difficult, and the monarch was trying hard to concentrate more, and the imperial power was almost tit-for-tat to the cabinet.

In March of the second year of Chongzhen, 258 officials in rebellion were dealt with, and the selection of cabinet ministers took great pains to the extent that more than 50 people participated in the cabinet, just to establish a cabinet that the emperor could control.

The struggle between imperial power and the cabinet is inevitable. As the power of the cabinet expands, the emperor becomes suspicious of the cabinet ministers. In order not to become a "play" in the cabinet, the emperor must further strengthen the imperial power.

This is particularly obvious to Emperor Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen has rotated cabinet ministers many times to increase the number of cabinet ministers and constantly divide the power of the cabinet so that cabinet ministers will not threaten the emperor's decisions and will also prevent the cabinet from hindering the imperial power.

The struggle between the cabinet and imperial power continued until the demise of the Ming Dynasty, and the power and status of the two increased and decreased. The Qing Dynasty followed the cabinet system, but at that time the cabinet was just a foil for the concentration of imperial power.

Learning from the Ming Dynasty cabinet also had such a function. When the cabinet appeared in the divine realm, the Lord of God didn't care at all, but the slight development made him discover that the cabinet was a giant, and almost all the power was controlled by the cabinet. At that time, there was still a prime minister in the divine realm, but there was no power at all, and it was really like a puppet.

Of course, what is different from the Ming Dynasty is that the cabinet of the Divine Realm not only has power, but also overtakes power over the Divine Lord, because the cabinet has a huge army that can be controlled by home, and countless masters.

At that time, in addition to the God Lord's Order, there were cabinet orders. Some people even did not abide by the God Lord's Order, but they were very abiding by the cabinet orders.

Because the final result of not obeying the orders of the Lord of God is likely to be punishing you, but not obeying the orders of the cabinet will basically lose your life.

Because this cabinet was famous and they maintained the power of the divine realm, and no one who opposed them ended up dead.

I remember that a cabinet minister in the cabinet once went to the border to inspect the garrison at that time and did not listen to his orders. This angered him. After this guy came back, he mobilized people to get rid of all the people who were stationed in the border that day, which led to a shocking case. The Lord of God ordered severe punishment, but in the end it was left alone.

Therefore, the cabinet is full of a group of executioners who kill without blinking. Who is not afraid of them? Their reputation has almost changed the divine realm within decades. The gods at that time also realized this situation and wanted to change it almost caused a disaster.

In the end, the Lord of God seemed to be no longer inquisitive about the matters in the Divine Realm, and all the major matters were handed over to the cabinet. At that time, for a long time, the cabinet was under management, and some even wondered whether the Lord of God was deposed by the cabinet.

This situation lasted for more than fifty years, and finally the Lord of God was silent for more than fifty years and spoke out. He directly announced that the cabinet had violated laws and regulations, which was a shame to the divine realm, and announced that it would attack the cabinet.

So he organized the people of the God Lord to start a siege against the cabinet. The siege lasted for three years and finally ended with the victory of the God Lord. This is the famous Jingnan in the Divine Realm.

From then on, the cabinet withdrew from the stage of the Divine Realm. All the cabinet ministers in the cabinet were abolished and all the leaders were killed!

In fact, this is reasonable. After all, the cabinet has had too much impact on the divine realm, and there is no way to explain the battle without killing their divine master.

Later, anyone who mentioned the cabinet would be punished. Since then, the word "cabinet" can no longer be heard in the divine realm, but there is such a record in the archives of the God Lord's Mansion.

That is a rare treasure in the cabinet's base camp. It is known as the strongest defensive magic weapon in the divine realm. After the cabinet disappeared, the treasure disappeared. Now you are telling me that this cabinet monument is the defensive treasure.

Liang Xu's attack did not leave any traces on it. This defense ability is indeed too strong. And if it is, how could it be here?

Then how did the divine eyes pass through here?

Liang Xu was full of questions.

"Brother Liang, are you?"

Looking at Liang Xu in a daze, he felt incredible.

He also saw the attack from Liang Xu. He could not have imagined that this cabinet monument had such defensive ability. What kind of material was this?

He also tried it, but the result was still the same.

"Brother Liang, tell me if this is true?"

He was a little doubtful about his eyes. Is this cabinet monument really that strong?

"Brother Sanyan, I see we are in trouble. The cabinet monument was unexpectedly that thing, and I don't know why he appeared here?"

"Brother Liang, do you know what material is made of this cabinet monument?" Sanyan looked at Liang Xu a little confused.

"Oh, Brother Sanyan, do you know the four spirits of heaven and earth?"

Three eyes nodded, he did know.

The four spirits of heaven and earth are things in ancient Chinese myths and legends.

The four divine beasts are the legendary divine beasts in ancient China, namely the blue dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, black trunk, and black trunk, which are the products of the combination of ancient mythology and astronomy.

The four beasts incorporate the five elements and directions, representing the east green color as wood, the west white color as gold, the south red color as fire, the north black color as water, and the center yellow color as earth. In addition, "Huainanzi" mentioned that the yellow dragon, one of the five dragons, is located in the center and is the leader of the four beasts.

The so-called number of heaven is the blue dragon on the left, the white tiger on the right, the vermilion bird in front, and the black womb behind. Therefore, when you are in the yin on the hall, you know the order of the sun and the moon, and when you see the ice in the bottle, you know the cold and heat in the world.

In ancient China, stars in the sky were divided into seven major star areas: "Three Walls" and "Four Symbols". The so-called "Zhou" means "city wall". The three walls are arranged in a triangular shape around the North Star.

On the periphery of the "Three Walls", the "Four Elephants" and the "Electrical Dragon" are distributed, and the East is the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird is the Black Tortoise in the North".

In other words, the astrological signs in the east are like a dragon, the astrological signs in the west are like a tiger, the astrological signs in the south are like a big bird, and the astrological signs in the north are like turtles and snakes.

Since the earth revolves around the sun, the astrology of the sky also changes with the seasons. Every evening at the turn of winter and spring, the blue dragon appears; at the turn of spring and summer, the black trunk rises; at the turn of summer and autumn, the white tiger emerges; at the turn of autumn and winter, the vermilion bird rises, which is collectively called the "Four Great Divine Beasts".

What does Liang Xu mean by these? Is there any connection between this cabinet monument?

"Do you know the Xuanwu among the Four Spirits?"

Xuanwu is a combination of tortoises and snakes. People believe that snakes are smart and agile and good at making money. Common beliefs believe that dreaming of snakes indicates wealth. However, turtles have hard armor on the belly and back, and their heads and tails and limbs can be retracted into the armor, which is enduring hunger and thirst, and has a very long lifespan. People use tortoises to divine divination and divination, which is collectively called tortoise divination. The texture of the tortoise back is called tortoise text. When divining, the tortoise shell is burned, and the cracked patterns are seen, which are good and bad.

Xuanwu is a combination of turtles and snakes. The two are concentrated on Xuanwu. Moreover, Xuanwu is good at defense. Liang Xu said that Xuanwu is not good at this time?

"It seems you guessed that if I expected it, this cabinet monument was actually transformed by the Xuanwu, the divine beast that was the first in the mountain-stopping divine world. It's really a bit whimsical when we want to break the stone monument."

This stone tablet seems to be integrated with the mountain. It is unrealistic to dig it open, and it is not possible to explode it with explosives. Liang Xu has tried it, but it has no effect at all.

From this point, we can see Xuanwu’s defense function!

But the last time I came to the cabinet monument was missing, so why did it come out now? What happened? Coincidentally, someone deliberately put it here?

Liang Xu's mind was constantly active, and suddenly his eyes stopped on the inscription...
