Lu Ya smiled and said,"
"Alright, now that we have the cabinet, the next step is to find a compromise between your Zhu clan's ancestral temple and the revival of China.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was solemn. He knew that what happened next was the main point.
Lu Ya thought for a moment and said,"
"As long as you do it according to my method, you can restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties and make your Zhu family's ancestral temple last long.”
"With the cabinet, even if your descendants fail to live up to expectations, you don't have to worry about the country falling into the hands of others. You only need to hand it over to those extremely capable cabinet ministers. The emperor doesn't have to interfere and can still protect the Ming Dynasty.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously,
"Can't we interfere at all?"
Lu Ya shook his head.
"No, if we encounter an incompetent emperor and don't interfere, the cabinet can still stabilize the court. Once we interfere, the Great Ming Empire is in danger of being destroyed.”
To be honest, the most typical example of this was Chongzhen.
If he didn't interfere, the civil officials in the cabinet could have stabilized the Great Ming Dynasty. In the end, this guy randomly commanded and dismissed one chief after another, accelerating the defeat of the Great Ming Dynasty.
Lu Ya continued,"
"Liu Chan of the Three Kingdoms did a good job in this aspect. He handed over all the military affairs to Zhuge Liang. He didn't interfere and became a mascot.”
"Of course, we can't expect those cabinet ministers to be as loyal to the country as Zhuge Liang. However, the cabinet system itself determines that the interests of the cabinet ministers are all based on their achievements.”
"In this way, the cabinet ministers will definitely do their best to work for Great Ming and protect the country.”
Lu Ya paused for a moment and smiled.
"Of course, when you are in office, you don't need to be a mascot, but if you want the Zhu family ancestral temple to last for a long time, you have to start from the next generation. On the basis of the cabinet system, the government will be controlled by the Ning family and the sacrifice will be made by me.”
Lu Ya's meaning was already very obvious.
You, Zhu Zhongba, can be a feudal emperor, but your next generation will start to practice autocracy.
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent. He knew that Lu Ya hadn't finished his sentence, so he just waited for him to continue.
Lu Ya also continued,"
"Chongba, you can understand that your successor is no longer an emperor who can decide the life and death of millions of people with a single word.”
"Because the system I'm talking about is actually a way to eliminate the imperial system. It will make the world a world of the world, not a world of one family!”
"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a long time and said,
"You mean to restore the abdication system?”
This was different from what he understood.
Lu Ya said,"
"You can understand it that way, but the Emperor of your Zhu family will never change. What will change is only the cabinet ministers.”
"The one who abdicated was not the Zhu family's emperor, but the cabinet ministers. This way, the world would no longer be the Zhu family's private property.”
"In this case, the Great Ming Dynasty will definitely be loyal to the world. With the Zhu Ancestral Temple as the core, we will jointly embark on the road to the revival of the Han and Tang Dynasties.”
Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent.
Even though Lu Ya said it was a compromise, he still couldn't quite get over this hurdle.
Could it be that his descendants could only be mascots?
Then what was the point of being the emperor?
Lu Ya saw through his worries and said with a smile,
"Chongba, do you think that this will cause the descendants of the Zhu family to lose their supreme status?”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said seriously,
"State Preceptor, why must the Emperor be a mascot? Couldn't he be nurtured from a young age to have the talent to govern the country? Must he give up the power to govern the country?”
"No!" Lu Ya directly poured a bucket of cold water on Zhu Yuanzhang and said with a faint smile,"
"As for the mascot you mentioned, it's actually not accurate.”
"The important matters of the country lie in sacrifice and war! Sacrifice has to hold the coffin, Rong has to accept the coffin, this is the great festival of the gods.”
The meaning of this sentence was that when it came to national affairs, sacrifices and wars, one had to pray for the protection, blessing, and support of the heavens.
When offering sacrifices, one had to be sincere. When war broke out, one had to show compassion.
Lu Ya laughed and said,"
"No one can replace the position of the Emperor's officiant. Moreover, the ceremony of praying for rain and plowing the fields could also reflect the love of the people.”
"As long as the emperor pays attention to the sacrifice, every solemn sacrifice is a sacred strengthening. Naturally, no one dares to offend the emperor!”
"Then who will have the final say when the time comes?”"Is it a cabinet minister or the emperor?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked seriously.”
"No, the people have the final say.”Lu Ya said,"
"There is such a person. He doesn't treat his own interests as his own interests, but he lets the world obtain his interests. He did not treat his own disaster as a disaster, but he saved the world from his disaster.”
"That person's hard work must be thousands of times more than the people in the world. He had to work ten million times harder, but he didn't enjoy the benefits.”
Lu Ya stared into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes and said,"
"The eyes of the people are bright. They can recommend such a wise person to lead the Ming Dynasty to the revival of the Han and Tang Dynasties.”
"With such a person leading Great Ming forward, do you think China will not be able to revive?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and said,
"Is there really such a person?"
"Of course there is, but it has to be one in a billion.”Lu Ya said.
