Zhu Biao left with Zhu Di. Lao Zhu calmed down and took Zhu Su to the Qianqing Palace.
After all, the security of Qianqing Palace is tighter.
This time, he also specifically ordered the two tigers that no one except the queen and the prince were allowed to come or go.
Zhu Su was quite familiar with the Qianqing Palace. Zhu Yuanzhang still asked the guards to be on guard outside, while he took Zhu Su to the inner room. The father and son sat at the tea table in the middle, and Lao Zhu said:
"Let's continue talking about what happened just now... Lao Wu, if you really don't have any policies, how can you deal with the 'Three Hundred Years Curse'?"
"Really not." Zhu Su shook his head like a rattle.
"Don't you still think that even if we really promulgate good policies, we will go astray?" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously. "Don't worry about this. We will publish an 'ancestral precept' for future generations, so that future generations of monarchs and ministers can follow it from generation to generation." Follow the method of the founder of our country and let hundreds of officials and officials work together to restrain the imperial court, and there will never be any deviation."
"I know, "The Ancestral Instructions of the Emperor Ming", right?" Zhu Su waved his hand. "That thing is of no use, it will still go astray."
"What?" Lao Zhu was stunned. Using the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" to restrain the imperial court was a method he came up with after thinking about the failure of the military household system in the past few days and learning from it.
I just came up with this name last night!
He wanted to create a perfect operating law. In his opinion, the military household system finally went astray. Although it may be the imperfection of the military household system itself, part of the reason must be that later generations did not follow it faithfully. This will lead to this good government turning into bad government.
But, when is it now? Our Ming Dynasty will die in more than two hundred and seventy years! How can we care about that!
This is the time to work together and work hard in one place!
How can we accomplish anything if we have such an extra prime minister?
"Isn't that right?" Zhu Su spread his hands. "You were thinking about making up this ancestral training a few years ago, right?"
"Dad, your decision to depose the prime minister was arbitrary!" Zhu Su corrected.
Otherwise, with them holding us back, how can I free my hands and feet to plug these big holes for future generations?
"Originally, things like policies have to change with time. How can it be that easy if you keep thinking about a set of policies that will last for tens of thousands of years?"
"These officials are indeed a serious concern of my Ming Dynasty!"
"Are we deposing the prime minister?" Lao Zhu stared at Zhu Su. "Didn't you say that our descendants will still be bullied by civil servants and that civil servants will still control the government?"
More than 30,000 people died because of him...
"Destroy the prime minister?" Zhu Su was stunned. "Now, do you have thoughts of abolishing the prime minister?"
Zhu Su nodded. Not only did he do this, but he also killed people all over the valley!
"How dare you use our words to offend our descendants!"
"That's right." Lao Zhu nodded. "In the second year of Hongwu's reign, we thought about leaving an ancestral precept for our Zhu family."
Zhu Su's words were sarcastic. Isn't it true? After the Ming Dynasty, none of the civil servants who shouted that "the laws of the ancestors are immutable" dared to mention the "law of the ancestors" of "peeling skin and filling it with grass."
"What!" Lao Zhu blushed and stood up, feeling quite annoyed and angry. "We knew it, we knew it!"
"But at that time we just wanted to pass on a good family tradition, and the name hadn't been decided yet... Why, our "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" was not taken seriously?" His voice couldn't help but be a little angry. meaning.
He took the tea that Zhu Su poured for him, drank it up and felt a little relieved. Then he sat down and said angrily:
"Without the powerful official position of prime minister, how could civil servants become such a disaster?" He was confused.
"Unexpectedly, those civil servants either came up with excuses to misinterpret the provisions that restricted their civil servants, or they pretended not to see it."
"Did we really do this later?"
These officials dared to get in the way while I was still here. No wonder they dared to manipulate their descendants like that!
It seems that before trying to find a way to solve the three-hundred-year-old curse, we must first sort out these official principles!
Even in later generations, Hu Weiyong is still famous as the last prime minister of China and the one who was buried with the most people.
"We are indeed too benevolent to those civil servants." Lao Zhu gritted his teeth.
He remembered what he had said before about "the water being too cold", and also about Prime Minister Wang who gave him eye drops during the morning court. All of a sudden, old and new hatreds surged into his heart at the same time.
"Your ancestral teachings are quite useless. From all aspects, they are quite complete. However, times are changing. Some things may have been suitable for the situation at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but after a few years, they are no longer applicable." Zhu
replied solemnly.
"Lao Wu, we want to abolish the position of prime minister first. What do you think?"
Now that I know the shortcomings, as long as I put some effort into improving this system to perfection, and then constrain it according to the teachings of my ancestors, I will definitely be able to completely make up for this hole.
But Lao Wu actually opened his mouth and said the name of Huang Ming's Ancestral Instructions. Lao Zhu was surprised and asked: "Could it be that we were going to compile this "Huang Ming Ancestor's Instructions" in the original way?"
This kind of opportunity to preach to Emperor Hongwu is rare. Zhu Su pretended to pick up the tea cup, closed his eyes and took a sip of tea: "Have you ever thought about how vast the Ming Dynasty is, and how many government affairs need to be handled in a day?
, how many should there be.”
"We have it a long time ago! If we hadn't been busy attacking Yuanting a few years ago, we needed someone to help manage it..." At this point, Lao Zhu stopped in surprise: "From your tone, I know that we want to abolish
Mutually?"
"How can a pool of stagnant water not stink..." Lao Zhu frowned, as if he had grasped something. Before he had time to think deeply, Zhu Su continued:
"If it is not used at all, that's it. But it comes in handy again: as long as the emperor does something that goes against the wishes of the civil servants, the civil servants will immediately go to your book "Huangming's Ancestral Instructions" and point out the ancestral injunctions.
The clauses in it that are beneficial to them shout out that 'the laws of our ancestors are immutable'. With your ancestral teachings here, future emperors can only do nothing."
"How can a pool of stagnant water not stink? The same principle applies!"
There was a fierce light in his eyes. He also knew that if he wanted to abolish the prime minister, it would inevitably cause great disturbances. It would probably cause the court's operation to be stagnant for a long time, or even lead to other unpredictable chaos.
"This ancestral teaching has been played out by civil servants."
"Although the position of prime minister takes away the power of the emperor, to put it bluntly, it also shares the burden on the emperor's shoulders."
"Historical records state that within the eight days from September 14th to the 21st in the 18th year of Hongwu, you reviewed a total of 1,660 memorials from internal and external officials and handled 3,391 state affairs.
.On average, there are more than 200 memorials to be reviewed and more than 400 state affairs to be handled every day..."
"And every day, I can't sleep for two hours!" Zhu Su made a "two" gesture.
"So what!" Lao Zhu waved his hand. "It's just more hard work. We are the emperor, and if this can leave an iron-clad country to our descendants, I'm willing to do it!"
