Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

"Hu Weiyong's removal from the position of prime minister may allow Li Shanchang to step up first, and then gradually figure it out, and distribute the power of prime minister to others!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Biao's expression was complicated, it turned out that his father had already thought so deeply.

"Father, you are considered a genius!" Zhu Tao's eyes lit up, he never thought that his father would think of the step of decentralization, and yes, he must have a flexible mind to run a business outside.

"Then what exactly should we do?" Zhu Biao asked again.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was a little embarrassed. Although Hu Weiyong had been brought down, he really didn't think about how to reform it.

"If you move the position of Prime Minister lightly, it will cause much more impact than moving Hu Weiyong. If you are not careful, there will be big troubles in the court!" Zhu Biao was a little worried.

How many scholars have been struggling for ten years, and they have tried their best to climb up after becoming officials, just for the position of prime minister. If this hope is gone, I don’t know if the civil servants will go berserk.

"Then cousin, do you have any ideas?" Zhu Tao asked with great interest. He really wanted to know how far people in this era can think of.

In his era, as long as he was the above-mentioned men, there were not many men who didn't like to talk about these systems.

Zhu Biao's face turned bitter.

What can I do?
Don't you father and son have a tacit understanding?
I don't even know how to abolish the prime minister, how can I come up with a solution?
Speaking of which, why, as a prince, I don't know as much as the boy in the backwater countryside?

"Set up a new head of civil servants?"

"Isn't that equivalent to taking off your pants and farting?"

"Then prepare soldiers and horses to prevent civil servants from making trouble?"

"No, just relying on suppression will only drive civil servants away from their morals."

"Win some civil officials to support and let them suppress other civil officials who oppose?"

"It's interesting. Cousin, if you become an official, you will definitely have a future, but doing so will only aggravate the party struggle!"

The ideas put forward one after another were refuted, and Zhu Biao couldn't think of anything else.

"I can't think of anything."

The main reason is to abolish the prime minister. The idea of ​​separation of powers is too novel, and Zhu Biao is a little uncomfortable for a while.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a sad face.

I'm afraid I've disappointed my father.

"It's okay, Taiping, you are young, it's normal if you can't figure it out." Seeing Zhu Biao's expression, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he might have hit his elder son's mentality.

The corner of Zhu Biao's mouth twitched, I was young and didn't understand, so why did Zhu Tao, a young man, understand so much?

"Tao'er is very talented, don't compare with him." Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Biao's meaning, and said in relief, then looked at Zhu Tao again: "Tao'er, do you think there is any way to remove the position of prime minister? Can it cause a big mess?"

Empress Ma also stared at Zhu Tao curiously, wondering if this enchanting young man would have any good ideas.

You know, since ancient times, emperors have been trying to gather power, but no one has ever done it.

"There is a way." Zhu Tao smiled.

"What, you really have it?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. You know, even though he had been planning for a long time, he still hadn't come up with a reliable solution.

"Set up a few more officials, and divide the prime minister's power." Zhu Tao said.

A look of disappointment flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes: "No, in this case, it's just a game of power checks and balances."

"At that time, it will be the same as the Song Dynasty. There will be a lot of officials, but they will not be able to do anything serious."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart, thinking about it, no matter how evil he is, it is impossible for a young man to come up with any reliable method, right?After all, it is such a major issue.

"I'm talking about abolishing the prime minister and setting up a cabinet!" Zhu Tao continued, "It's not about distributing power to other ministers."

Empress Ma touched Zhu Tao's head to express comfort.

This kid can speak to this level, he can already be called a genius.

However, what Zhu Tao said next left the three of them dumbfounded.

"The cabinet is composed of five people who jointly exercise the power of prime minister and are elected by the emperor. They are only responsible to the emperor and have the right to make suggestions but not the right to make decisions."

"In this way, on the one hand, they don't have to be the representatives of civil servants' interests, and they don't have too much power. They can only work for the emperor, and young civil servants also have hope."

Zhu Yuanzhang was struck by lightning, and Zhu Tao's words finally cleared up the thoughts that had been entrenched in his mind for many years.

Although the cabinet became something that seriously affected the imperial power than the prime minister in the later Ming Dynasty, at present, especially the two dynasties of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, it can be said that it has perfectly performed its role.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and said hello three times in a row.

"Tao'er, if the court can adopt the cabinet system you mentioned, that would be a great thing."

"Of course, the cabinet system still needs to be improved." Zhu Tao said again.

"Is there room for improvement?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened.

In his opinion, this is simply the most perfect system.

What Zhu Tao was talking about was the situation in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The civil servants were all self-proclaimed clean, thinking about party disputes every day, and couldn't do anything serious. On the contrary, the emperor dared to interfere with their party disputes, and he would drown and die if he said so.

"So, everything is up to you to decide!" Zhu Tao took part of the cabinet system in later generations of foreign countries and put it into the present.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up: "Good idea!"

In this case, the future and destiny of the cabinet ministers will be completely in his hands.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Tao in astonishment.

How could this young man see the division of power so clearly? If Zhu Tao became an official, he would be able to manipulate the ministers!
Zhu Biao originally wanted to let Zhu Tao enter the East Palace and become his staff, but now that the cabinet system is established, Zhu Biao knows that Zhu Tao has to become a cabinet minister at best, and his own East Palace cannot keep him!

Empress Ma smiled and patted Zhu Tao's head. She knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had been troubled by this matter for a long time, but she didn't expect that this young man in front of her would solve it in the time it took to have a meal today?

This child is really the lucky star of Daming and the Emperor!
Zhu Tao is a bit strange. He just proposed a system. Is his family a little over-excited? "Father, with your appearance, those who don't know think you are the emperor!" Zhu Tao said to Zhu Yuanzhang with a bright face.
