Chapter Seventeen Power Struggle

All dynasties and dynasties cannot get rid of it. The emperors in the later dynasties are not as good as the emperors in the early dynasties.

The cabinet will naturally become more and more powerful.

By the end of the dynasty, it seemed inevitable that the power of the cabinet would overtake the imperial power.

"Boy, what should we do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes. Although Biao'er's body bones were not very good, this boy looked very strong!

"It's easy to say, just set up another organization to compete with it."

"We can call this institution the Supervisor of Ceremonies!"

Zhu Ying naturally didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking. Hearing this, he wrote the words "Si Li Jian" on the wall and explained at the same time.

"What is the Supervisor of Ceremonies?"

"Does the name sound like a eunuch?"

Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help blurting out the question.

In fact, the institution of Si Li Jian was originally created by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, but naturally it is not now.

Zhu Yuanzhang created the Director of Ceremonies, which was originally used to train eunuchs and maids.

But there are too many institutions in the DPRK and Central Government with the word "supervisor" in their names.

Therefore, Zhu Biao felt that this organization should be related to eunuchs.

"Yes, they are eunuchs, and they are all eunuchs from the inside out."

Zhu Ying nodded.

"eunuch?"

"How can eunuchs participate in government affairs?"

Before anyone else could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately frowned.

If you little bastard were our eldest grandson, I would let you know what it means to be beaten!

Zhu Yuanzhang studied the demise of the previous dynasty very deeply.

As powerful as the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, it was inevitable to end in destruction in the end, not only because of the melee among princes or the separatism of feudal towns, but also because of the presence of eunuchs.

The disadvantages of eunuchs participating in government affairs can be seen clearly.

At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, the power of the eunuchs was so overwhelming that even the emperor could abolish them at will.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a clear conscience, so he personally erected a monument at the door of the imperial study.

The letter had eight characters: "Eunuchs in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics."

This sentence was also established by Zhu Yuanzhang as the ancestral motto of the old Zhu family.

Now this little bastard actually suggested in public that eunuchs should be allowed to participate in politics!

Isn't this a slap in my face?

"Old Zhutou, why are you so excited?"

"Those who know think that you have a deep love for the Ming Dynasty, and those who don't know think that you are the Hongwu Emperor!"

"Besides, can't you wait until I finish speaking before expressing your true insights?"

Zhu Ying rolled her eyes.

"Dad, how about we listen to what this kid has to say?"

Zhu Biao pulled Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeve and winked.

This guy is not an outsider, can he still harm us?

They are all descendants of the old Zhu family, and they must be thinking about the throne of our old Zhu family!

Although this kid doesn't know yet that he is the eldest grandson of the Ming Emperor, aren't the suggestions I mentioned before good?

"Not bad, I still wish the boss good luck!"

"I wish you the best, boss, make me a cup of tea, and listen to what I have to say slowly!"

Zhu Ying patted Zhu Biao's shoulder very familiarly and was extremely satisfied with Zhu Biao's performance.

Lan Yu on the side trembled with fright when she saw this scene.

Although your boy is the emperor's eldest grandson, is it really okay to talk to your father like this?

Do you know that you will get beaten easily if you talk like this?

The next second, Zhu Biao looked at Lan Yu.

It’s not that this cup of tea cannot be poured, but I am your father!

How can a son call his father?

Lan Yu sighed, "Come on, if your old Zhu family puts this act aside, it will be me, Old Lan, who suffers in the end."

By the way, it’s not too much for my uncle and grandpa to give his grandson a good beating, right?

This guy doesn't know how to avenge himself, right?

Lan Yu poured a cup of tea very wisely and handed it to Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying took the tea and didn't bother to care about who poured it!

"Let me ask you a question: at the end of the Tang Dynasty, why did the eunuchs have such power that they could even depose the emperor?"

"Do you really think that eunuchs are powerful and domineering because they interfere in politics?"

"You have to know that the government affairs of the Tang Dynasty were formulated and implemented by civil servants in the three provinces and six ministries. But have you ever seen those civil servants rebelling?"

"Why is this?"

The three people looked at each other, obviously not knowing the answer.

"Don't you understand this? Because civil servants don't have military power, but those eunuchs do!"

"Didn't I say it before? Whoever holds the military power, and whose words are the imperial edict!"

"At that time, the command of the garrison in the capital and the imperial army in the palace were all in the hands of the eunuchs. Therefore, they had the final say in who the emperor was. They could even kill one and establish a new one."

Zhu Ying sighed and looked at the three people as if they were idiots. Why were these people so careless in listening to the lecture?

Can you still be an official?

"Then let me ask you, how did those eunuchs take military power into their own hands? How can they be avoided?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to argue with him and quickly asked.

Not to mention those eunuchs, even those civil servants and military generals, as long as they threatened the existence of the old Zhu family, Zhu Yuanzhang would not tolerate it at all.

After the Ming Dynasty, if a few people who don't even have balls come to power and the descendants of the old Zhu family are manipulated at will, he will be so angry that he will crawl out of the coffin.

"I asked you, why are you so anxious? The emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are. If you don't know better, you might think that the three of you are either the emperor or the prince!"

"They're just a few sesame officials, can they do this?"

Zhu Ying rolled her eyes and didn't answer the question, but she joked.

Three people, you look at me, I look at you.

You little brat, you are quite good at judging people!

is not that right?

I am the Hongwu Emperor!

That’s right!

We are the Ming Prince!

Only Lan Yu looked melancholy.

This family is all drama queens!

Acting is addictive!

"Ahem!"

"It's not like you don't know, we also shed our blood and fought with Emperor Hongwu to drive out the Tartars. Only then did we restore China and establish the Ming Dynasty."

"As a Han Chinese with blood, ideals, ambitions and responsibility, I naturally cannot tolerate the world being controlled by those eunuchs!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a short time, he kicked Lan Yu fiercely and said angrily.

Lan Yu let out a scream and was caught off guard, falling to the ground.

Boss, why did you take action when you said you would take action?

You hate eunuchs, what does it have to do with me?

I'm not a eunuch!

Zhu Ying looked at Lan Yu who got up from the ground and patted her butt with a surprised look on her face, and nodded: "What you said makes sense!"

The official positions of generals in the Ming Dynasty were hereditary and replaceable.

As long as the Ming Dynasty does not fall, their descendants can enjoy the benefits.

The lives of these people are inseparable from the Ming Dynasty, and it seems reasonable to think that they are focused on the future of the Ming Dynasty.

"Seeing that you are so idealistic, ambitious and bloody, I will explain to you the truth of this today, and it will not be in vain for Lao Lan to receive this kick!"
