Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

"Father-in-law, I have it!"

After Han Cheng thought for a while, an idea flashed in his head.

An idea suddenly came into my mind.

After he carefully considered it for a while, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was quite reliable.

At that moment, he no longer hesitated and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said these words.

After hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang and Prince Zhu Biao immediately turned their attention to Han Cheng.

Both of them looked surprised, looking at Han Cheng with burning eyes, waiting for Han Cheng to tell his solution.

It is said that before this, both of them had thought about this issue.

It's still quite difficult to solve.

Implementing the cabinet is very simple. They are already familiar with the various aspects of the cabinet.

But I want to find a more reliable system to restrain the first assistant, so that the future first assistant will appear more reliable.

But it's not that simple.

After all, system matters generally involve subsequent dynasties.

It’s not just this dynasty.

When Han Cheng came here, after hearing their request, he also looked embarrassed and fell into deep thought.

They originally thought that even Han Cheng would not be able to get a good result in this matter that easily.

Who would have thought that the surprise would come so quickly.

Han Cheng, who just said that this matter was not easy to handle, actually had a new view so quickly.

This is really surprising and surprising.

"Father-in-law, eldest brother, this is what I think.

How about letting your eldest brother serve as the chief minister of the Hongwu Dynasty's cabinet? "

Han Cheng didn't make any excuses, and directly stated the method he thought of.

After hearing what Han Cheng said, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Prince Zhu Biao couldn't help but be stunned.

Obviously, no one expected that the method Han Cheng came up with was actually this.

When I first heard it, I thought Han Cheng's method was not outrageous.

After all, how can the prince be allowed to be the chief assistant?
However, it only felt a bit absurd at first.

But soon, when I thought about it more carefully, I realized that it made sense.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that what Han Cheng said, which at first sounded unreliable, was actually pretty good.

Especially for Zhu Yuanzhang, that was good and especially suitable.

Why is he always obsessed with the matter of the chief minister of the cabinet?
The most important thing is that we are still unwilling to decentralize power and hand this power into the hands of others.

He was not reassured.

But among these people, there is one person who is absolutely special.

This person is Prince Zhu Biao.

If other people share Zhu Yuanzhang's power, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely want to kill his whole family and kill his nine clans.

But Zhu Biao would never do that.

Not only would Zhu Yuanzhang not be wary or dissatisfied because his son would share his power.

On the contrary, he will be extremely happy and even ask if his Biaoer wants more.

If Biaoer is not too tired, it is not impossible for him to abdicate early.

More importantly, Prince Zhu Biao was already the de facto executive deputy emperor of the Ming Dynasty long before that.

Zhu Biao helped handle many government affairs. Zhu Yuanzhang always spared no effort in cultivating his successor.

Before that, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to take down Hu Weiyong in one fell swoop, and also directly deposed the prime minister and abolished the Zhongshu Province.

Let the six ministries be directly responsible to the emperor. Let the six ministries be directly responsible to the emperor.

There are no middlemen making the difference.

What is your biggest reliance?
This is not just because he is extremely energetic, one person can be a person for many people.

Another source of support is his good eldest son Zhu Biao, who helps him handle government affairs.

It can be said that they were father and son. While Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, the two of them also took care of things that originally belonged to the prime minister and the entire Zhongshu Province.

The work intensity is called a big one.

After all, there are many people in Zhongshu Province.

Not just a prime minister.

Now Han Cheng made a proposal to let Prince Zhu Biao, who was already doing these things, serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Then this thing is really good, especially suitable for the current situation.

Zhu Yuanzhang was more reassured that no one else could be the chief minister of the cabinet.

While Zhu Biao was the chief minister of the cabinet, he could also train him well and increase his knowledge. Enhance the ability to handle government affairs.

Let the prince Zhu Biao become more qualified.

This laid an extremely solid foundation for him to become emperor in the future.

Zhu Biao himself has a great reputation among these officials.

Many officials regard him as hope.

Now that he has served as the chief minister of the cabinet, he will be in charge of the six internal ministries in the future.

Overall, it ranks above the six.

Although the chief minister of the cabinet cannot be said to be the head of a hundred officials, to a certain extent, it has some meaning.

With the prince Zhu Biao serving as the chief minister of the cabinet, more officials will surely be able to convince Zhu Biao in the future.

It can, to a large extent, ensure that there will be no surprises in the succession of imperial power.

In the future, after Zhu Yuanzhang abdicates, Zhu Biao, a very qualified person in terms of ability and reputation, will succeed Zhu Yuanzhang and inherit the world.

That is justifiable. Taking over the position will definitely make the officials below listen to him.

There is no such thing as running-in.

wonderful!
It’s really wonderful!
"Second brother-in-law, this...isn't this appropriate?"

After Prince Zhu Biao thought for a while, he looked at Han Cheng with some hesitation and spoke.

I would like to have some opinions on this matter.

As a result, before he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice rang out.

"Biao'er, what's wrong with this?

Look at Han Cheng, this guy has a really good idea.

There is no one more suitable than you to be the chief minister of this cabinet.

Not only you, but we think this matter should be customized in the future.

After the prince reaches the age of sixteen, he will join the cabinet, become the chief assistant of the cabinet, and gain experience.

Understand how government orders operate, handle various government affairs, and increase their abilities.

It's not like I don't know anything in the future, I haven't had much contact with specific government affairs, and I just sit in a high position without any ability.

Easily deceived.

This guy Han Cheng has a really good idea!
We have decided and will do this from now on! "

After Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Han Cheng's idea was a good one.

The matter was decided immediately.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's performance at this time. Once again, his decisiveness and decisiveness in killing were demonstrated.

In many cases, Zhu Yuanzhang's execution ability is simply extremely strong, and he does whatever he says.

Of course, sometimes such a temper is not good.

It’s easy to be arbitrary in doing things, and you may get something done when your brain gets hot.

But no one is perfect, and it is impossible for everyone to do everything to the best of their ability.

Every personality has strengths and weaknesses.

For example, those who like to make decisions before taking action, and will think and make various calculations when encountering things, do think very well and comprehensively.

But it will also lead to poor work efficiency and the disadvantages of delay.

Many times I hesitate and miss opportunities.

Han Cheng looked at his father-in-law's reaction.

He smiled to himself.

No more words were said.

Because what he meant had already been told by his father-in-law.

He himself thought so too.

Not only did the Hongwu Dynasty want the prince Zhu Biao to serve as the chief minister of the cabinet.

In the future, when Zhu Biao becomes emperor, he will also let the prince Zhu Yunxi serve as the chief minister of the cabinet.

This matter can form a customization.

How to be an emperor also needs to be learned.

Before officially becoming emperor, he first served as the chief assistant and learned to handle all aspects of government affairs.

Knowing how things are done is very important.

The emperor trained in this way, regardless of how powerful he is, after all, everyone is different.

The areas of expertise are also different.

But at least you can know how rights work.

How basic government affairs are handled.

It's not like his eyes were completely black after coming up.

Relatively speaking, a lot of trouble has been solved.

For Ming Dynasty, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

This is already very good.

Policies cannot be perfected everywhere, and it is not easy to set a relatively good general framework.

Moreover, Han Cheng had also said before that the policy was effective.

There are no eternal policies.

Of course, there are some basic things that cannot be changed.

So they can only decide on some things here.

But in the future, some specific operations will still depend on the wisdom of future generations.

But this is pretty good.

At least Han Cheng felt that he had tried his best to come up with such a solution.

If you let him think about other things, he really doesn't have the ability.

Zhu Biao listened to his father, and in a few words, he made a direct decision and settled the matter.

Also somewhat helpless,
My father, he really said that wind is like rain.

So fast!
"Father, um... if you force me to be the first assistant, then I can do it.

It is indeed good for the prince to serve as the chief assistant starting from the age of sixteen.

It can really train people. "

Zhu Biao is qualified to say this, after all, he was trained step by step by his father.

Although he had not been a chief assistant before this, he had handled a lot of government affairs.

Looking back, I don't know how much more mature I am compared to when I first experienced these things.

The ability to handle government affairs also really needs to be learned.

It’s impossible not to learn.

With this policy mentioned by the second brother-in-law, future emperors will definitely have to avoid many detours and avoid many mistakes.

"It's just...Father, this policy only solves half of the problem.

Half of the problem remains unresolved. "

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and spoke.

As soon as Zhu Biao said these words, the eyes of Han Cheng and Zhu Yuanzhang also fell on him.

Zhu Biao said: "Father, there is something we have to consider.

That is the issue of the life span of those who will serve as emperors for our descendants of the Ming Dynasty.

Some emperors were in good health and could wait until the prince was sixteen to serve as chief assistant.

But...there are too many surprises that may occur in this matter.

For example, according to what the second brother-in-law said before, the child died early while you were still alive.

Let your white-haired person give you a black-haired person.

The remaining beast, Zhu Yunwen, is young.

Fortunately, Father, you lived a long life and gave him many more years, giving him enough time to grow.

That beast has no future on his own. !
Extremely stupid!

When it comes to Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Biao, a always kind person, can't help but grit his teeth and curse angrily.

"It's not bad over there with the Fourth Brother.
His body and bones are fine.

But when it came to the fourth son's grandson, Zhu Zhanji, things went wrong. Zhu Zhanji was young, only in his thirties and he died.

The key is that Zhu Zhanji's son was born relatively late.

At the time of his death, Zhu Qizhen was only a few years old.

A young emperor appeared in Ming Dynasty.

This didn't give him any time to serve as the first assistant.

Starting from Zhu Qizhen, to Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Jianshen, and Zhu Youtang, their life spans are not too long.

The same is true for Zhu Houzhao.

Even Zhu Houzhao didn't even leave any heirs.

There are really too many variables in this matter.

When the prince is less than sixteen years old, what should the chief minister do during these sixteen years?
Who will serve?
How should we decide?
Or if the previous emperor died prematurely, leaving a young prince to ascend the throne, what should the chief minister do?
Even like Zhu Houzhao, he didn't even leave any heirs.

How should the first assistant be determined?

These all require certain regulations. "

After hearing what Zhu Biao said, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood became a little heavy again.

Think about the fate of your eldest son, and then think about your eldest grandson Xiongying who has passed away.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be much quieter.

“Yes, there will always be problems of one sort or another.

What you said is only half the solution to the problem, and it does make sense.

But we think this is easy to do.

If there is a prince of suitable age, let him be the first assistant.

There is no prince of the right age, so he can only let some of the remaining courtiers serve as chief ministers.

There's nothing we can do about it.

The emperor was young and had no way of handling government affairs.

Under such circumstances, the only expedient solution is to let some capable courtiers step in and let them do their work.

Even if this is the case, some rights will leak out, but there is nothing that can be done about it.

In the court, what is most needed are people who can do things.

Doing so will lead to some loss of power.

But it is definitely better than the emperor being young and having no one in charge in the court.

As long as there is such a rule, from now on, when the prince of Ming Dynasty reaches the age of sixteen, his position as chief minister will definitely be returned to him by them.

It’s impossible for every generation to have a young emperor, right? "

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of something again and added aloud: "It cannot be limited to the prince.

In fact, we should say he is the crown prince.

After all, sometimes the emperor would have no children due to various reasons.

The successor can only be selected through some other methods.

As long as you are the heir, after the age of sixteen, you can serve as the chief assistant and gain experience..."

Although this question is rather cruel.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to mention it.

But it must be said in advance.

After all, this could really happen.

For example, Zhu Houzhao, this guy just didn't leave any heirs.

Whenever Zhu Yuanzhang thought about this, he felt that his descendants were not up to par.

Look at me as an ancestor, not just daughters, but more than 20 sons alone.

How come the descendants of their family don't have any trace of the glory of their ancestors?

Not only asking them to have more than twenty sons like themselves, but also asking them to have one son to inherit the throne, some people can't do it.

So annoying!

Zhu Biao nodded after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Then he said: "Father, how should we choose the other chief ministers besides the crown prince?

What are the judging criteria?
How can we ensure that the elected chief assistants can do their jobs with their heart and not cause any trouble? "

Hearing Zhu Biao's question, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, looked at Zhu Biao and said: "Biao'er, you are a bit over the top on this matter.

Every dynasty encounters different situations.

It is impossible for us predecessors to take into account everything that happened after them.

And it was done to perfection.

I really don’t have this ability.

I think we can just lay down some basics here.

The rest do not need to be restricted to death.

Leave them with corresponding, in Han Cheng's words, called operating space.

That's fine.

I believe those people behind will make corresponding adjustments based on their actual situation at the time.

Future generations, as well as those courtiers, cannot all be fools.

It is impossible for everyone to have ulterior motives.

Sometimes, we limit things too much, which is not beautiful.

Easily become a hindrance.

For example, after that bastard Zhu Qizhen caused the Tumu Fortress Incident, many people believed that the Ming Dynasty would inevitably cause a huge catastrophe.

It is not impossible for the Ming Dynasty to move south early.

But it happened that at that moment, Yu Qian stepped forward and turned the tide.

Later, he held the position of Minister of the Ministry of War and was still able to hold great power.

If we had put in place many restrictions in advance, people like Yu Qian might not really be able to stand up and do these things during that time.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he will be bound by various rules and regulations.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, Zhu Biao's heart trembled, and he woke up like a dream.

"Father, what you are saying is that the child is indeed a little too aggressive in this matter.

Father, you are right.

My second brother-in-law also said before that there is no eternal policy.

Except for some particularly basic ones, many policies will need to change over time.

The child forgot all these for a while..."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled when he heard what Zhu Biao said.

"Biao'er, it doesn't matter, everyone gets into trouble sometimes.

Our Biao'er has always been smart, so I won't say anything about this, so you can react later. "

Han Cheng was on the side, watching the conversation between his father-in-law and his uncle.

Especially looking at my father-in-law, the two uncles are so kind and caring.

I also felt it was really deep in my heart.

Sure enough, my uncle is a very special existence to my father-in-law.

Many people in later generations said that although my father-in-law had many sons.

But it can be divided into two categories.

One is his uncle Zhu Biao, and the other is his other sons.

What I said is absolutely correct!
"Father, big brother, are you okay?
If nothing goes wrong, I will go back first. "

Han Cheng sat here and waited for a while. Seeing that the core problem had been solved, his father-in-law had already made up his mind on this matter and was ready to do this.

He was ready to run away immediately.

He had to slip away. At this time, Han Cheng's strength was far from being gone.

The discomfort was severe.

The meal that my little wife prepared for me was really powerful.

We need to go back quickly to save lives.

"You kid, what's going on?
Why are you so anxious? Fire burned to your butt? What's wrong with staying here a little longer? "

Han Cheng chuckled and said, "Well... isn't the situation today a bit special?

There are still some important things that I haven't finished yet, and I've been quite busy lately.

If there's nothing wrong, I'll leave first. "

Han Cheng said, before Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, he had already stood up.

He smiled and ran away in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biaoer...

"This boy, my mother, is paying less and less attention to my father-in-law!"

Seeing Han Cheng laughing and running away with some scoundrels, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing and scolding.

However, the care, pampering and tolerance towards Han Cheng were beyond words.

Zhu Biao looked at Han Cheng's leaving figure, and some doubts arose in his heart.

Why is this... It seems that there is something wrong with the second brother-in-law's state?

What emergency did he encounter?
Why...why does this seem familiar?

This... this looks like the second brother-in-law, he is not such an impatient person, right?
Why does this... look different today?

Of course, even if Zhu Biao saw something, he would never say anything more...

……

"Yourong, I'm back!"

Han Cheng returned home and immediately shouted.

He didn't go anywhere else and walked quickly towards their bedroom.

Princess Ningguo fell asleep in the room.

I was woken up by the sound of Han Cheng coming in.

"Husband? When did you... come back? Why so soon?
It feels like I just closed my eyes and you were back as soon as I opened them. "

"If you don't come back quickly, how can you do it?
If this were the case in the past, I would have to have a meal with my father.

But today, I can't get enough of this meal.

Come on, come on, I miss my husband so much..."

As Han Cheng said, he chuckled, a hungry tiger pounced on his food, and hugged his little wife in his arms!
"Husband..."

Princess Ning Guo wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything soon...

……

"Husband, I...shall I call Xiao He?

My body…I’m really useless..."

Princess Ning Guo said to Han Cheng as if she had no bones.

"Well... let's forget it."

Han Cheng shook his head.

Princess Ning Guo looked at Han Cheng's condition: "Then... husband, are you not feeling uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, it's okay, just bear with it."

Princess Ning Guo still feels sorry for her husband.

"Husband, you don't have to be embarrassed.

Xiaohe herself is a dowry girl, so she is naturally her husband's concubine.

It is completely normal for her to come to her husband. "

As Princess Ning Guo spoke, she was about to call Xiao He over...

In this regard, people living in this era are very different from people in later generations...

……

"Han Cheng, this bastard, I don't know what's going on today.

It looks like a fire has burned your butt.

Let's call him and tell him something.

As a result, as soon as this guy settled the matter, he hurried back all the way without even eating here.

What's the emergency? It's already dark, so what emergency can he have..."

In the evening, in Kunning Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma complained about Han Cheng.

Queen Ma was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she realized what was going on.

He seemed a little embarrassed and smiled, but he was also a little confused.

Said: "Chongba, I...I seem to know what's going on."

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously... (End of chapter)
