Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed Chapter 38: We deposed the Prime Minister and appointed the Chief Assistant, so didn’t we waste the Prime Minister in vain?
Chapter 38: We deposed the Prime Minister and appointed the Chief Assistant, so didn’t we waste the Prime Minister in vain?
Zhu Yuanzhang's chest heaved violently, and the anger in his heart could not be increased.
His Ming Dynasty has become like this?!
How could his descendants be so miserable?!
He was born in poverty, so since he came to power, he has always attached great importance to recuperating with the people and always wanted to be good to the people.
As a result, his descendants treated the people of Ming Dynasty like this!
Isn’t this just pushing the people to death?!
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally did not want to see rebels appear in his territory.
But after understanding what his descendants had done, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that these people should rebel!
They rebelled, and they rebelled righteously!
Not to mention these common people, even if he became a common person in the late Ming Dynasty, he would definitely rebel!
If we don’t rebel, will we still starve to death?!
Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with anger, rolling back and forth in his chest, making him very uncomfortable.
If he couldn't do it, he really wanted to bring this unfilial descendant of future generations over, open his Tianling Cap, and see if the thing inside was actually a pig's brain!
How dare he do this!!
Zhu Yuanzhang, filled with anger, couldn't help but glared at Zhu Biao fiercely.
Naturally, he can't reach those unfilial descendants.
But now he still has a son, although Chongzhen is also his unfilial descendant.
However, as the prince is his son, the unworthy descendants will definitely have to take a further step away from the prince.
Zhu Biao was a little confused by this look from his father.
I reacted immediately and couldn't help but feel helpless.
Is my father just putting the blame on himself?
But I... also want to beat this unfilial descendant to death!
How can anyone play like this?
"At that time, there were some capable people in the Ming Dynasty.
There are also some people who can fight.
However, after Emperor Chongzhen came to power, he was too eager for quick success.
He is extremely diligent and has made various decisions and efforts.
But in fact, his diligence is worse than not being diligent.
If he hadn't been so diligent, Ming Dynasty wouldn't have died so quickly.
He did nothing but stayed in the palace, being a happy emperor, drinking and eating meat every day, and letting the government agencies continue to run on their original track.
It is absolutely impossible for the Ming Dynasty to die so quickly.
The more diligent he was, the more mistakes he made, and the Ming Dynasty was one step closer to its demise.
In addition to these, for example, in just seventeen years of his reign, he changed more than fifty chief ministers..."
Han Cheng's voice continued, talking about some of Chongzhen's saucy operations in the late Ming Dynasty that he knew.
"Wait a minute, what is this chief assistant?
Why does it sound so important?"
This was the fifteenth year of Hongwu. In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Hu Weiyong had already been executed.
The prime minister system is gone too.
Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that the power of the prime minister would be too great and would seriously threaten the imperial power, so he abolished the power of the prime minister.
Let the six ministries be directly responsible to the emperor.
In this way, he, the emperor, would not have to be too restrained when dealing with various government affairs.
The Ming Dynasty will not appear. When Li Shanchang was here, even if he was not the prime minister, he could directly order many officials to gather the power of the world and use the government system to fight against him.
It truly centralized power in the hands of the emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang has always been proud of his actions.
I think this is an extremely clever method.
With this method of his own, the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty will no longer be threatened by the power of the prime minister.
But why, judging from what Han Cheng said, why did the chief assistant appear again?
"Your Majesty, you have abolished the prime minister system. For people like you, without the prime minister system, it will naturally be more convenient for you to handle government affairs.
Improve the efficiency of government operations.
There is no need to worry about the power struggle between the prime minister and the imperial power.
But you need to understand that not everyone is as energetic as you. They work nine or six times a day, or even more, and devote all their body and mind to dealing with national affairs.
Treat handling national affairs as a kind of enjoyment, take care of everything day and night, enjoy it, and can't extricate yourself.
If the prime minister system is abolished and everything needs to be handled by the emperor, the emperor's workload will increase dramatically.
For the emperor, it was an extremely serious burden.
So later on, institutions like the cabinet appeared.
The cabinet can handle national affairs and vote on memorials.
The final decision-making power belongs to the emperor...
As for the chief minister, he is the first person in the cabinet.
Although he is said to be the first assistant, he is actually not much different from the prime minister.
However, compared to the Prime Minister, the capital is quite different from the Prime Minister in terms of power and other aspects..."
After hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang once again wanted to scold the unfilial descendants of future generations!
He worked hard and learned the lessons brought by Li Shanchang and others. After several years of hard work, he finally abolished the prime minister system.
Fortunately for them, they formed another cabinet!
We even created the first assistant!
Aren’t all my efforts since then in vain?
After calming down and thinking about what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it did make some sense.
It is indeed impossible for everyone to be as outstanding and diligent in government affairs as myself.
Can handle all national affairs well and in an orderly manner.
It seems that it is not impossible for something like the cabinet to come into being.
Cabinet... chief assistant... voting... the emperor's decision-making power...
Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about these things quickly in his mind.
He thought this might be a good idea.
It is worthy of him to think more deeply in the future.
Let’s see in the future whether we can proactively implement this kind of system.
Of course, this is just an idea.
Regarding what to do in the future, we need to carefully ask Han Cheng in front of us.
Understand the specific organization of the cabinet, the procedures for doing things, etc.
Now is not the time to think about these things.
He still wanted to see how his Ming Dynasty died.
Do you know what weird things Chongzhen’s unfilial descendants did?
After understanding what was going on with the cabinet and the chief minister, Zhu Yuanzhang's chest rose and fell again.
It rose up again, wanting to open Chongzhen's head to see if it was the impulse of a pig's brain.
Since this first assistant is an existence similar to a prime minister.
Then how could he replace more than fifty people in just seventeen years?!
Isn’t this nonsense?!
It takes time for a person to take the position of chief executive, to gradually become familiar with the procedures, to open up various joints, to master the rights, to to implement various policies, and to the policies to take effect.
The most important thing here is stability.
But it turned out that after Chongzhen arrived, more than fifty people were replaced in seventeen years.
What the hell is he doing?
Those chief assistants don’t have time to do anything, okay?!
"Asshole! What a bastard!!
How could we give birth to such unfilial descendants?!"
He couldn't help but glare at Zhu Biao again.
Zhu Biao was aggrieved by Zhu Yuanzhang's glare.
By the way, if you scold your unfilial descendants, you scold them for being unfilial, and you keep glaring at me. What does this mean?
Zhu Yuanzhang originally could not understand that a man like Chongzhen, who sat on the throne of emperor when he was an adult and was not short-lived and was very diligent, would let the Ming Dynasty perish in his hands.
But now, after listening to Han Cheng's story, he believed it.
If you follow his instructions, it would be strange for the Ming Dynasty to survive!
"Tell us, what other extremely stupid things does this unworthy descendant do?"
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, looked at Han Cheng, and asked questions word for word.
He was going all out today. He wanted to see how stupid this extremely stupid guy Chongzhen could be!
Zhu Biao, who was standing next to him, hesitated for a moment after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
By the way, Chongzhen has already made so many weird operations, there should be no more weird ones, right?
No matter how stupid a person is, there should be a limit...
