"In the sixth year of Hongwu, the current emperor added a minister and assistant minister to the six departments on the grounds that the work of the six departments was too heavy, dividing the authority of the six departments of the Ministry of Central Affairs!”
"Two years later, in the eighth year of Hongwu, the current Emperor will appoint a minister and an assistant minister in the five divisions of the Ministry of Revenue, the four divisions of the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works!”
"This way, the Ministry of Revenue will have seven ministers and seven assistant ministers. The Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Works will also have six ministers and six assistant ministers!”
"In addition to the Ministers and Assistant Ministers of the Departments of Officials, Rites, and Soldiers, there are a total of twenty-seven Ministers and Assistant Ministers in the six departments of the Ministry of Central Affairs!”
"In the ninth year of Hongwu, the current Emperor began to abolish the provincial system!”
"Change the Ministry of Regional Affairs to the Department of Administrative Commissioner, and divide the power of the province into three divisions, the Administrative Commissioner, the Provincial Justice, and the Capital Commander!”
"Divide the military power under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Central Affairs and transfer it to the Grand Governor's Office!”
"In the 10th year of Hongwu, the current Emperor established a General Affairs Department in the court. It is responsible for internal and external memorials, memorials, and secret memorials from the subjects.”
Zhu Rong listed the changes that Zhu Yuanzhang had made to the imperial court since the sixth year of Hongwu.
Before he carefully understood the history of the early Ming Dynasty, he had thought that the abolition of the Ministry of Central Affairs and the Prime Minister system was the result of Hu Weiyong's case.
However, when he carefully understood this period of history, he realized that this was not the case at all.
As early as the sixth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang had already begun to divide and divide the various powers of the Ministry of Central Affairs.
If Zhu Yuanzhang said that this was not a preparation for the abolition of the Ministry of Central Affairs and the abolition of the Prime Minister system, he would not believe it at all.
In addition, it also made Zhu Rong believe that Zhu Yuanzhang had long been prepared to abolish the Ministry of Central Affairs.
There was also Zhu Yuanzhang's actions after killing Hu Weiyong.
"In the first month of the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Hu Weiyong was executed.”
"However, less than half a month after Hu Weiyong was executed, the current Emperor began to issue an edict:
Revocation of the Ministry of Central Affairs, abolition of the Prime Minister, promotion of the official ranks of the six departments, making the six ministers directly listen to the Emperor!”
"At the same time, abolish the six departments. The six departments that originally had twenty-seven ministers and twenty-seven assistant ministers will be simplified to one minister and two assistant ministers!”
"At the same time, abolish the Grand Governor's Office and set up the Five Armies 'Governor's Office with the Commanders and Guards!”
"The abolition of the Ministry of Central Affairs, the six ministries, and the Grand Governor's Office. Which of these three political affairs isn't an earth-shattering military policy?”
"Which one doesn't need to plan for a long time, think twice, and think twice before acting!”
"However, in less than a month after Hu Weiyong was executed, the current Emperor swept away the fallen leaves and completed the abolition and restructuring of these three major military policies!”
If he had not planned for a long time and made full preparations,
The abolition of the Ministry of Central Affairs, the six ministries, and the Grand Governor's Office was such an earth-shattering military policy.
How could Zhu Yuanzhang finish it in less than a month?
Such a major military policy might not be completed in a month, a few months, or even half a year, let alone less than a month!
However, Zhu Yuanzhang finished it in less than a month!
In fact, there was no news at all!
Zhu Yunwen was stunned by Zhu Rong's vivid examples.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also not in a good state. He sat there in shock.
Because every word that Zhu Rong said was clearly arranged by him back then!
Although these arrangements weren't some secret of the Emperor, they were all announced to the world in the form of imperial edicts.
However, there were too many things that this kid could not possibly know!
This kid wasn't even born in Hongwu's sixth year!
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised and asked,"Child!" How do you know about these things?"
Zhu Rong smiled sheepishly and pointed at the bustling streets around him." This is the Qinhuai River!”
"From the nobles to the peddlers, who hasn't come and gone here?”
"From the political affairs of the imperial court to the trivialities, what isn't the topic of conversation during our leisure time here?”
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the nearby lively teahouses, wine shops, shed shops, vendors, and the endless stream of pedestrians on the street. He nodded slightly and said,
He turned around and looked at Zhu Rong, asking in a low voice,"
"According to what you said, didn't the current Emperor already plan to kill Hu Weiyong as early as the sixth year of Hongwu?”
"I'm not sure about that."
Zhu Rong lowered his eyebrows for a while and shook his head.
"Maybe, maybe not. I'm not a roundworm in his mind. How can I know everything?”
When did Zhu Yuanzhang have the intention to kill Hu Weiyong? This was something that was not recorded in history. How could he know?
"However, I think it should be around the 10th year of Hongwu.”
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows." Why?”
Zhu Rong thought for a while and said,"Because in the 10th year of Hongwu's reign, something big actually happened in the imperial court."”
"The current Emperor has begun to let the Crown Prince listen to the various departments and govern the country!”
"I think that perhaps it was around the time when the Crown Prince was in charge of the country that the current Emperor began to think about killing Hu Weiyong's party and truly made up his mind to abolish the Ministry of Central Affairs and the Prime Minister system.”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned." Why?”
"Naturally, it's because His Majesty wants to pave the way for the Crown Prince."”
"Ever since Hu Weiyong defeated Liu Ji's party, the Right Prime Minister Wang Guangyang only followed the flow and protected himself. The entire court was controlled by the Left Prime Minister Hu Weiyong's henchmen!”
"The current Emperor is the founder of the country, and his regal might is at its peak. Hu Weiyong even dared to deceive the current Emperor, let alone the Crown Prince who had just entered the court!”
"If we don't get rid of Hu Weiyong's faction, how can the Crown Prince control the Imperial Court, and how can the imperial edict leave the Forbidden City!”
"By killing Hu Weiyong's party, we can use the head of the Prime Minister as a stepping stone for the Crown Prince to govern the country!”
"At the same time, because Hu Weiyong's party has been executed, there will be a large number of official vacancies in the court. It will be convenient for the Crown Prince to arrange his own officials to assist in governing the government, allowing the Crown Prince to stand firm in the court!”
