The struggle for the power of the emperor had a long history.
Especially since the Song Dynasty, with the complete establishment of the central power system, the local aristocrats and aristocratic families declined.
The common enemy that stood in the way of the imperial power and the prime minister had vanished.
The gap between the emperor and the prime minister was also growing.
The defeated aristocratic families all cast their gazes on the only representative of power other than the imperial power-the prime minister.
Therefore, since the Song Dynasty, the power of the prime minister had reached an astonishing height.
What Zhu Yuanzhang feared the most was that during the Pre-Yuan Dynasty, the power of the prime minister had almost completely suppressed the imperial power.
As a result, the imperial edict of the former emperor could only be issued on the grasslands. South of the Great Wall, everyone obeyed the orders of the prime minister. In fact, the prime minister of the former yuan could even control the ownership of the throne!
Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he had regarded the Prime Minister as a mortal enemy. He had even given the position to someone like Xu Da, whom he absolutely trusted.
However, it was obvious that Xu Da, a martial artist, could not control the prime minister at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang also thought of many other ways.
For example, the power of the prime minister was divided into two, left and right.
The first pair of prime ministers were Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang soon realized.
The once shrewd and capable Wang Guangyang had just become the Right Prime Minister when he completely suppressed the Left Prime Minister Hu Weiyong and finally began to ignore political affairs.
In the end, Wang Guangyang almost became Hu Weiyong's human seal.
In the end, it became Hu Weiyong who monopolized the power.
Liu Bowen had noticed that something was wrong with Zhu Yuanzhang in court.
As soon as he left the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, he used the excuse of having official business and left in a hurry.
"Teacher, His Majesty is still wise. He didn't go too far today.”
"This student thinks that Teacher is worrying too much.”
Lee Shan Chang looked at Hu Weiyong, who was boasting in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He didn't know if it was right or wrong for him to accept this student.
Every time he thought of this.
Lee Shan Chang had a bad feeling.
……
……
Hall of Heaven.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was solemn as he looked at the words "Hu Weiyong" written on the table in front of him and fell into deep thought.
If he were to dismiss the Prime Minister rashly, it would definitely arouse the opposition of all the civil and military officials, especially those civil officials.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid that these people would dare to rebel. He knew that as long as he was alive, these people would not be able to cause any trouble.
However, this was still an eternal curse.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't make up his mind.
He thought about it.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He stood up and picked up a bottle of wine.
Then, he walked towards the Zhongshan Academy at the back of the mountain.
In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang did not realize it. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was always surrounded by strategists and famous generals. Even his family affairs had the help of Empress Ma.
Zhu Yuanzhang was quite comfortable being the emperor.
However, when Zhu Yuanzhang had the idea of dismissing the prime minister, he suddenly realized that there was no one around him who could help him come up with ideas.
If he asked Xu Da about this matter, he would probably just laugh it off. Naturally, it was needless to say that the civil officials would come. If Zhu Yuanzhang revealed even a little of his intention to dismiss the prime minister, these civil officials would probably come and force him to die.
Zhu Biao could say a few words, but he was still a little immature.
He thought about it.
The only person Zhu Yuanzhang could think of was Qin Zhan of Mount Zhong.
At this moment, the sky was getting dark.
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to prepare some food and wine. He carried them and walked into the small courtyard where Qin Zhan was.
"Mr. Qin, it's us!"
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's voice, Qin Zhan walked out of the bedroom and asked in confusion,
"Old Master Huang, why did you come personally to deliver food today?”
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh,
"Sigh, don't mention it. I'm so frustrated. This dynasty…I can't find anyone in the village to talk to.”
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh and filled his wine cup.
Qin Zhan smiled when he heard this and said,
"Are the people below disobedient?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Mr. Qin, you're amazing. We didn't even say anything and you already knew.”
"You can't tell the villagers, but you can tell me. Naturally, it's because you're afraid of offending the villagers. Old Master, you're the village chief.”
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
Then, he looked at Qin Zhan and said,
"Mr. Qin, let's not talk about empty talk. There's a man called Old Hu in the village.”
"You know, although I'm diligent, I have a lot of things to do at home. My sons have to eat too. I can't just be busy with the village matters every day.”
"We'll let Old Hu help us with the village matters.”
"In the past, Old Hu could be considered to have done his best. Who would have thought that this Old Hu would go against us in everything.”
"Actually, it's not Old Hu's matter. The main thing is that the villagers are used to having such a person.”
Qin Zhan saw through Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts at a glance.
"So you're not angry at Old Hu, but you want to prevent such a person from being a hindrance here in the future, right?”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been poked by Qin Zhan, couldn't help but laugh.
"It has to be Mr. Qin. You've hit the nail on the head!”
