No matter how much we do later, it will never hurt our mark!
It won’t cause too much psychological pressure on our Biaoer.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng, his words were sonorous and powerful, and he vowed firmly.
He still has this bit of confidence.
Even if he is in a bad mood, he will never take it out on his boss!
"By the way, didn't you just say that our Biao'er is known as the most stable prince in the world?
Now that I have said this, it proves even more that we treat our Biao'er well and will never let Biao'er feel any pressure!"
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with everything else Han Cheng said, but he didn't believe it at all when he said that he would create huge psychological pressure on his boss in the future.
Han Cheng looked at the confident Lao Zhu, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, people will change. Just because you think like this now does not mean that you will think like this in the future.
Indeed, your attitude towards the prince has never changed.
The prince's position as prince is as stable as Mount Tai.
But the pressure you will bring to His Royal Highness in the future will not be a lot at all.
Historically, the Queen passed away in August of the fifteenth year of Hongwu. This year was an extremely dark moment in your life, Your Majesty.
You first lost the emperor's eldest grandson, and three months later, you lost your beloved wife.
I don’t need to tell you how important the Queen is to you. You know better than me.
You also understand how much harm it will cause you if the Empress really passes away..."
Zhu Yuanzhang followed Han Cheng's words, and when he thought for a moment that his sister was really gone, and that the two of them would be separated forever, he suddenly felt very distressed.
Now that my sister is gone, I don’t even know what I will do!
"Historically, after the empress died of illness, many officials in the court cried heartbrokenly, which was even more uncomfortable than the death of their own mother.
This is not just because the Queen Mother is respected by everyone.
More importantly, they understand that after the Queen's death, the scabbard that can hold your extremely sharp sword is no longer available.
No one can persuade you anymore.
In the future, when your murderous intention arises again, many people will no longer be able to survive."
Hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say that he was not that easy to kill, and he only killed people who deserved to die.
But after bringing himself into the scene where his sister died as described by Han Cheng, Zhu Yuanzhang could not say this.
Although he can be sure that from now on, he will definitely kill people who deserve to die.
But the scale of killing people cannot be guaranteed.
"Prince Dunhou received Confucian education when he was very young and was greatly influenced by Confucianism.
The methods are relatively mild, and the concept of governing the country is not based on killing.
But later, Your Majesty, you struck harder and harder every time.
There are some differences between the two of you regarding the philosophy of governing the country.
After Queen Ma passed away, no one could comfort your heart, which made you become more and more murderous.
His personality also became increasingly extreme.
There were many quarrels between him and His Highness the Crown Prince.
I remember the most serious time, you even pulled out your sword and threw it at the prince..."
Zhu Yuanzhang himself was shocked when he heard Han Cheng's words.
What will happen to me in the future?
He actually threw the mark directly with his sword?
Is this something you can do yourself?
He instinctively didn't believe it.
But imagine that your sister really passed away, and you met many corrupt officials again, and you wanted to take action and use thunderous methods on them, but your boss tried to persuade you not to do so... …
Zhu Yuanzhang really felt that he would be depressed.
With my temperament that is easy to fall for, and once she is taken over, she doesn't care about many things, it is not impossible for her to do such a thing...
As Han Cheng spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had vowed that he would never do what Han Cheng said in the future, was no longer so confident.
became silent.
Calculating it this way, for Biao'er's untimely death, he also needs to pay a lot of responsibility?
Doesn't he have a small role in it?
"Besides the different ideas on governing the country, there is another reason: Your Majesty, you deposed the Prime Minister.
Your Royal Highness, as the crown prince, I have already helped you with your affairs.
In fact, the role he plays, not to mention that of Prime Minister, is actually similar to that of Prime Minister.
The Ming Dynasty was so big, how many things happened every day?
This is extremely consuming
In addition, there were some conflicts between the ideas of governing the country, so later on, the prince was tired, worried, mentally stressed, and his health became poor..."
Han Cheng's words made Zhu Yuanzhang even more silent.
"This... So, if we depose the Prime Minister, is it wrong to do so?"
Abolition of the prime minister system that has been passed down for thousands of years, so that the power of the prime minister does not compete with the imperial power, is something that Zhu Yuanzhang planned for a long time before finally accomplishing, and after it was accomplished, he was very happy about it.
I feel this is an extremely great decision.
It can make the imperial power unrestricted, and the prime minister's power can no longer compete with the imperial power.
The emperor will no longer be ignored, the emperor will no longer be deceived, and power will be exercised.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his move was extremely great and unprecedented.
How come now, it has become an important reason for the death of his own Biao'er?
Could it be that this is God's punishment for me?
In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang never thought there was anything wrong with deposing the prime minister.
He was full of energy and a workaholic, and regarded correcting memorials as a kind of enjoyment. He only felt that the imperial power had been strengthened to the greatest extent.
But now, after learning that Zhu Biao's death was related to the abolition of the prime minister, he had to reflect on this matter.
Could it be that I have to restore the prime minister system that has just been abolished for two years?
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be in pain with this thought in his heart.
Then, he suddenly remembered the cabinet issue that Han Cheng had mentioned before when he told him about the events in the late Ming Dynasty.
He couldn't help but feel happy, and he looked at Han Cheng and said, "Tell us about the cabinet in detail!"
Han Cheng thought for a while and said: "The cabinet was started by the emperors of later generations because they had limited energy and could not handle too many government affairs alone.
The cabinet was originally the emperor's advisory body..."
"The idea of the cabinet is indeed good, but later on, the chief minister of the cabinet will definitely have more and more power, and even be able to overwhelm the six ministries.
Therefore, it is necessary to use officials to contain it, which will inevitably cause great infighting and expense..."
After listening to Han Cheng's description of the cabinet's operating model, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said.
Obviously, he is not very satisfied with an institution like the cabinet.
I don't think it's perfect.
It's okay if the time is short, but problems may occur if the time is long.
"Han Cheng, you come from later generations and know a lot of things. Can you tell us if there is a better and more suitable system than the cabinet?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked.
As more and more things were asked about, Zhu Yuanzhang almost realized that there was no shame in asking about Han Cheng.
In the past, he might have covered it up or taken some detours, but now, he didn't feel any psychological pressure at all.
Zhu Biao, who was standing next to him, heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words and felt that his father was too pushy.
In his opinion, the design of this cabinet is already very good.
Mutual restraint between the inner and outer courts can ensure the interests of the imperial power to the greatest extent and leave the decision-making power to the emperor.
This design is very clever.
How easy is it to get a higher-level organization than the cabinet?
