Chapter 328 The Emperor's Assistant: The Supervisor of Rituals and the Cabinet

"In order to strengthen the imperial power, there is no other way!"

"If you want to gain something, you must lose something!"

The emperors were so emotional, but Kangxi spoke again at this time.

"But the Ming emperors of later generations invented a system that can strengthen the imperial power and reduce the fatigue of the emperor - the cabinet system!"

Kangxi smiled and said: "Enable a number of ministers to join the cabinet to help handle government affairs, and give decision-making opinions on paper, which is called 'bill draft'."

"Submitted to the emperor by the hand of the eunuch, the supervisor of ceremonies!"

"The emperor thought it was okay, so he put a 'red tick' on the memorial, and called it 'putting on red'!"

"The cabinet and the ceremonial supervisor cooperate with each other to reach a decision-making process, and the final decision-making power is in the hands of the emperor."

"The cabinet and the chief inspector restrict each other and supervise each other to ensure the sole authority of the emperor!"

"After the prime minister was abolished, the cabinet ministers became the nominal 'prime ministers', overwhelming the officials of the six ministries!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang, who didn't care much at first, listened...

His eyes immediately lit up. This idea is really good. There is no prime minister, but he has the authority of a prime minister.

"Moreover, it should be difficult for eunuchs to intervene in politics and override the imperial power!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh fiercely, very happy.

Did he really think he wanted to be a diligent emperor?
There is nothing he can do about it!

Without the help of the prime minister, he can only directly contact the six departments.

Isn't it just busy!
"Cabinet, Lieutenant..."

Li Shimin and Zhao Kuangyin also looked at each other at the same time, seeing the emotion in each other's eyes.

joke…

This method is really good, how can you miss it!
Even if you can't copy it, it is still possible to improve it.

Especially the emperors after Tang Xuanzong...

They were plagued by eunuchs interfering in government and overpowering the imperial power.

The emergence of the cabinet system…

It gave them great inspiration all at once.

Of course they can see how wonderful the existence of the inspector of ceremonies is.

The eunuchs, the eunuchs, are only qualified to submit, regardless of any power in the military, government, or finance.
There is no authority other than being attached to the emperor!

Whether it is life or death is a matter of the emperor's words.

However, the existence of the Supervisor of Ceremonies can effectively restrain the ministers of the cabinet and prevent them from taking the emperor off.

so…

Even if the emperor lives in the deep palace, as long as he controls an intelligence agency, he can know the affairs of the world without going out.

That's great!
The system is so perfect!

They can't wait to try it out.

Zhu Yuanzhang is even more so!

He already had an urge to carry it out.

The Supervisor of Ceremonies appointed three persons, who were each given certain powers.

One is responsible for drafting his opinions, or making judgments at his behest.

One is responsible for stamping the emperor's seal on the draft decision and giving it the ability to make decisions.

One is responsible for sending the draft decision to the cabinet, and let them be responsible for sending it to the six ministries for implementation.

Mutual supervision!

Then the three people are united to execute the emperor's order to achieve a complete decision-making and execution process.

Ok…

perfect!

This is equivalent to dividing the duties and powers of the prime minister, which are granted by the emperor to the eunuchs, and can be withdrawn at any time, because they only act on behalf of the imperial power.

and…

The three people supervise each other, and they can also ensure the dominance of the imperial power and avoid being emptied.

Because the power is given by the emperor, even if he controls such a great power, the emperor can take it back with a word.

"The future generations are so smart!"

The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the happier he was, "The three eunuchs must not interfere with the six ministries and the affairs of the cabinet. They are just the emperor's assistants, and they can be replaced at will..."

"In this way, the existence of the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies will put all the power of the original prime minister in the hands of the emperor, which can be manipulated at will."

"It's not that the prime minister can contradict the emperor based on his status as the head of a hundred officials, or even threaten to make the emperor stand up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang seems to have seen the scene where a group of courtiers flattered him again.

Thinking of this...

He couldn't help laughing out loud.

With this power, even any trash emperor can firmly control the imperial power and will not be emptied by hundreds of officials.

There is no reason why other emperors could not think of things that Zhu Yuanzhang could think of.

Especially those emperors in the late Tang Dynasty.

They can't wait to implement these two systems.

Thus…

They can get rid of the shackles of the eunuchs and be a real emperor.

[In terms of military affairs, Emperor Hongwu abolished the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which was in charge of the military alone, and split it into five armies.

[The Ministry of War can issue orders to mobilize the army, but it cannot command the army.The Dudu Mansion is responsible for training and commanding the army, but has no right to mobilize the army, and the military power is in the hands of the emperor alone]

[And set up a guard system, combine soldiers and farmers, fix the guard places, ensure the combat effectiveness of the border, and reduce financial expenditures]

"There is a little feeling of my Song Dynasty's military system!"

Seeing the responsibilities of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion and the Ministry of War, Zhao Guangyi spoke in a rare way.

The purpose is to strengthen the imperial power and reduce the general's ability to command troops.

In this way, the rebellion of the generals can be avoided and the imperial power can be stabilized.

"Hey, and my system is more advanced than your Song Dynasty, so it won't cause the problem that soldiers don't know generals, and generals don't know soldiers!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and gave Zhao Guangyi a slash.

Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly, "Isn't it amazing!"

Of course, it is not happy to be exposed.

"The guard system looks a bit like my recruiting system!"

Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, said, "But it is a bit more like the government soldier system and the farmland system than my recruitment system."

"It feels very good. It has fully absorbed the advantages of the military system and the farming system. It can effectively reduce financial expenditures and ensure the combat effectiveness of the army. It is easy to cause corruption to cause combat effectiveness to decline!"

Is it Li Longji...

The eyes are so vicious...

The shortcomings of this system can be seen at a glance.

"Makes sense!"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had really made a fortune.

With so many emperors helping him with advice, it saves time and effort and is also efficient.

[And build guards in places with dangerous terrain, give full play to the effect of the terrain, and promote the nomadicization of guards, so as to obtain strong cattle and horses, and equip enough cavalry]

[Through the marriage of the clan, the marriage of civil and military nobles, and the use of blood and nepotism to achieve the purpose of the imperial family of the Ping Fan]

[For the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, launched thirteen conquests, wiped out the remaining forces of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, expanded the territory, and made outstanding achievements]

[It is also stipulated that every year patrol operations should be carried out on pastures, deserts and other areas to deter the northern wilderness and eliminate enemy bandits]

"Military achievements don't seem to be too many!"

All the emperors thought so, but immediately, they realized that Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor.

The battle he fought has already been fought in the competition for the world.
