Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked!
She actually wanted to abolish the Prime Minister system that had been passed down for thousands of years!
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this.
What a child's words!
He smiled helplessly and felt that children were good. They lived freely and honestly without any worries!
Empress Ma also felt that the little guy said this because he was still too young and didn't care about the mortal world.
They didn't understand how terrifying and turbulent the struggle for power in the royal court was!
If they were not careful, countless people would drown!
He noticed the strange looks in their eyes.
The little loli felt that she was being looked down upon.
She put her hands on her hips, pouted, and said angrily,"I really have a way!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his cute granddaughter who looked like an angry hamster and felt that she was cute.
However, how could she, who was so young, do something that even she herself had a headache over?
Therefore, he thought that this was just his granddaughter's joke. He did not mind and asked with a smile,"Then tell Grandpa, what solution did you think of?”
After all, the little fellow was thinking for himself. He could not dampen his enthusiasm. It was fine to listen.
Nan Nan also wanted to prove herself and said seriously,"Of course, the cabinet will replace the Prime Minister!”
Cabinet?
Hearing this unfamiliar term, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma both revealed a puzzled expression.
The words cabinet system really sounded like that!
Zhu Yuanzhang was also interested and quickly asked,"What is a cabinet?"
Seeing the two's puzzled expressions, the little fellow was immediately pleased. She tilted her little head and said,"For a long time before this, the prime minister of a country had the power to make decisions, discuss political affairs, and manage the government. This greatly divided the imperial power, which was a huge drawback.”
"The cabinet system is to remove the decision-making power of the original prime minister and firmly hold it in his own hands.”
"To be specific, the power of discussion will be given to the cabinet, while the administrative power will be given to the six departments. The local government was divided into three divisions, which were in charge of justice, military, and administration. They were directly responsible for the six divisions.”
"The three departments and six departments of the cabinet are all under the control of the emperor. The cabinet and six departments each have their own duties. The highest administrative order of the country is issued from the palace and can be sent to every corner of the Ming Dynasty through the relay stations in the country.”
The little guy tilted his head as if he was recalling something. After a pause, he said,
"In short, all the memorials of the country, big and small, will be summarized by the three divisions, and submitted to the emperor by the ceremonial supervisor, and then handed over to the cabinet. The cabinet was responsible for drafting the opinions, and then the ceremony supervisor would report the opinions to the emperor for approval. Finally, the six departments would collate and issue them.”
"This way, not only can we abolish the prime minister system, but we can also firmly control the imperial power in the hands of the emperor!”
At this moment, the little guy ran to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and held his hand.""Moreover, this way, Grandpa, you don't have to be busy thinking and dealing with government affairs every day. You only need to make decisions! She could squeeze out more time to spend with Grandma.”
Her core goal was to let Grandpa spend more time with Grandma!
After hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned!
This was very similar to the prototype of the plan in his heart. It was even a step further and more perfect!
It was like…
After a long time of refinement, it had been washed clean!
He looked at his eldest granddaughter with shock in his eyes!
However, at this moment, the little girl continued to say disapprovingly,"Grandfather, if you want to further consolidate the imperial power, you can still use the Military and Political Affairs Office.”
Seeing the little guy's confident manner and the names of these organizations that he had never heard of, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer had any intention of laughing. Instead, he listened very seriously!
"What is this Military and Political Affairs Office?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest granddaughter and asked seriously.
As long as he could get suggestions that were beneficial to Da Ming, he could even lower his head occasionally!
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not understand at all, the little girl revealed a disdainful expression and put her hands on her hips like a little adult.
"Aiya, tell Grandpa about it."
Zhu Yuanzhang was thick-skinned and continued to ask.
All the tools that could consolidate the imperial power were of utmost importance to him at this moment because he was the clearest about the turbulent waves behind the appearance of the Ming Dynasty's prosperity!
Only when he had the supreme power firmly in his hands could he be completely at ease!
The little loli looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's deflated appearance and could not help but say proudly,"The purpose of the Military and Political Affairs Office is naturally to deal with urgent military affairs. It can also assist the emperor in handling government affairs.”
"You can choose an elite from the cabinet to be the Minister of Military Affairs and take over the military and political power!”
"This way, not only can we prevent confidential matters from being stolen, but we can also further consolidate the imperial power and ease the pressure on the emperor's government affairs.”
" Moreover, although the Military and Political Affairs Office seems to be an organization that controls military and political power, it can always be in the position of a temporary organization. There are no formal regulations on the office space and the establishment of officials. There are no grades and salaries. This can make the military and political ministers have no real power and do not have to worry about them disrupting the court.”
"Of course, the most important thing is that the Military and Political Affairs Office, like the cabinet, is completely under the direct control of the Emperor. In the end, they were all obeying the emperor's orders. They were tools of governance that appeared to consolidate the imperial power.”
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked!
What a terrifying method of checks and balance. It could be said that it had pushed the royal power to the peak!
While reducing the burden of the emperor's government affairs, it also disintegrated the actual power of the prime minister and powerful ministers, firmly controlling the imperial power!
The officials of the Military and Political Affairs Office all had authority from the Emperor. Naturally, they could not betray him and could only rely on him!
He was like a mad dog supervising the officials!
The cabinet system and the Military and Political Affairs Office were extremely suitable for the Ming Empire at this time. It was simply a genius idea!
Empress Ma was also shocked. She had a unique understanding of power and could hear the beauty of the cabinet and the Military and Political Affairs Office from her granddaughter's words. They were simply the best means to consolidate the imperial power!
After the initial shock, she immediately reacted.
This was because the cabinet system and the Military and Political Affairs Office could not be thought of by a four or five-year-old child. There was only one possibility left, and that was his son, Zhu Heng!
Empress Ma's eyes flashed as she asked,""Did your father teach you all this?"
"Of course!"
The little girl raised her head proudly like a fangirl. Her expression was filled with endless worship for her father!
After receiving confirmation, even Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but sigh,"Our son's ability to govern the country is simply invincible!”
"If Heng 'er were to inherit the throne, he would definitely be a wise ruler after using these methods!”
Hearing his emotional words, the little girl rolled her eyes!
She pursed her lips and said in a disdainful tone,
"Father doesn't need such mortal methods!”
