When Zhu Ying finished speaking, Lan Yu was so frightened that she fell to the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao on one side looked at Zhu Ying with furrowed brows.
If this guy wasn't a member of our old Zhu family, we would have to drag him to accompany Hu Weiyong.
Seeing the three people so shocked, Zhu Ying nodded with great enjoyment.
"Therefore, civilian officials have been less harmful to the country and the country than military officials since ancient times."
"Although His Majesty beheaded Hu Weiyong and abolished the prime minister system, he did not take action against the military attachés."
"It's just out of consideration for Pao Ze. Of course, there is also another very important reason, that is, the prime minister system has just been abolished. If you attack the military attache now, Your Majesty is worried that it will be too much, not enough, and cause turmoil in the world."
"But, you don't have to worry. Our Emperor Hongwu is very confident. With him here, it's not a problem to suppress these generals."
"But one day, when His Majesty feels that the military power in your hands has seriously threatened the imperial power, guess what, will His Majesty take action against you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang remained calm, but Zhu Biao and Lan Yu frowned more and more.
Zhu Biao has always been a kind-hearted man, and he doesn't want to see his uncles beheaded by his father.
Lan Yu's face was pale and she was completely frightened and could not speak.
Even if he had no brains, he now understood the stakes involved.
There are numerous examples of military commanders rebelling in history, whether it is the Chenqiao Mutiny or the Rebellion of Fanzhen, even those relatives or eunuchs who dare to depose the emperor and put him under house arrest, the shadow of the military is indispensable behind them.
Without the support of military power, these people will naturally not be able to achieve success.
"According to your opinion, as long as the general is killed, the imperial power can rest easy?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked sincerely.
Zhu Yuanzhang could only think of this solution to a problem that had not been solved for thousands of years.
"Kill the general?"
"You don't remember the shame of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty, right?"
"this......"
After Zhu Ying finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing to say.
Zhao Kuangyin used his military power to seek power and usurp the throne, oust the orphans and widowers of the Chai family, established the Song Dynasty, and became the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty.
It was precisely because he won the country unfairly and was afraid that he would make the same mistake again, so he dispersed the military power in the court, so that in the Song Dynasty army, the soldiers did not know the generals, and the generals did not recognize the soldiers.
What's more, when a second-grade military general sees a seventh-grade civil servant, he must kneel down!
As a result, the Song Dynasty's combat effectiveness was simply that of fighting against the five scum. Those small tribes on the border, whether it was Dali, Tubo, or even Xixia, Jurchen and Khitan, if they single-handedly created a force, he would not be able to defeat any of them.
No matter who did it, the outcome would be the same, either cede the land, pay compensation, or get married and consider themselves the younger brother.
After the Jingkang Disgrace, the royal family of the Song Dynasty was in terrible condition. Countless people were humiliated to death. In the entire royal family, except for Zhao Gou, there was no survivor.
The surviving women became prostitutes and the men became slaves.
Song Huizong and Song Qinzong even acted as clowns themselves for the entertainment of the foreigners. When they died, their bones were not even left, and they were used to make corpse oil.
The greatest shame in Chinese history was the Song Dynasty.
Zhu Ying's favorable impression of the Ming Dynasty was largely due to the fact that the Ming Dynasty was very stubborn from its establishment to its demise. It was impossible to even think about ceding territory and paying compensation, and it was absolutely impossible to marry him and become a minister.
"What should we do? Should we just let it go?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and continued to ask.
"Leave it to chance?"
"You don't know how many princes there were in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, right? You don't remember the separatist vassal towns in the late Tang Dynasty, right?"
Zhu Ying snorted coldly.
The Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were two dynasties with quite strong political power, because the generals had great power.
But it also resulted in the fact that in the last years, the emperor had no control over the generals at all, and even the generals could depose the emperor at will.
"I can't control it! I can't ignore it! Shouldn't our generals die?"
Lan Yu had completely sobered up from her drunken state.
According to the emperor's grandson, as a military general, it seems that there is no way to survive.
In this case, why did you tuck your head in your waistband and follow the boss to rebel?
We might as well go home and farm!
Zhu Biao also looked at Zhu Ying with a puzzled look.
In Chinese history, the emperor had nothing more than two methods for dealing with military attachés.
One is to suppress directly like Zhao Kuangyin, and the other is to find a way to balance and control like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
But these two methods are obviously not correct solutions, and the consequences are self-evident.
For thousands of years, our predecessors have not found a solution.
"You little bastard, if you want to say something, just say it quickly, don't keep your appetite here!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but urge.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was even very lucky that he had left his eldest grandson alone for so many years, otherwise how could this kid have such high abilities?
Let’s listen to what this guy has to say first!
As for whether you want to use it or not, I'll have to decide when the time comes.
"There is a solution! Of course there is!"
"In short, two words, centralization!"
"Concentrate all power in the hands of the emperor and this problem will be solved."
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's eyes lit up when they heard this.
"Then please tell me how to centralize power?"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but urge him.
Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately planned to kill Hu Weiyong and abolish the prime minister system, wasn't it just to concentrate power?
Zhu Biao thought differently, and even glanced at Zhu Ying with some resentment.
When dad agrees to meet you later, if I don't kick your ass into pieces, I will take your surname!
Dad killed Hu Weiyong, and I was almost exhausted.
Do you still want to centralize power?
Are you thinking that I will die young so that you can become emperor soon?
Why bother?
If you want it, just tell me you want it?
I'll just leave it to you!
This emperor is not worthy enough!
Lan Yu on the side also looked depressed.
Once the power is concentrated in His Majesty's hands, as generals, they will naturally have no power at all.
But compared to your own head, power is nothing!
Having no rights is better than losing your head!
"It's simple. Your Majesty only needs to create a new institution - the cabinet!"
Zhu Ying said slowly.
"cabinet?"
When the three of them heard this, they were all stunned. What is this?
"What is a cabinet?"
Zhu Biao frowned and asked.
Once Dad really centralized power, he would become the biggest victim, so Zhu Biao was more interested in him than anyone else.
"Come on, come on, I will teach you a lesson today!"
Zhu Ying stood up as he spoke.
"Wen Xi, go get pen and ink for me!"
Da Wenxi fetched pen and ink, and Zhu Ying walked to the wall and wrote the words "cabinet" on the wall.
