Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

Chapter 72: The Abolition Of Prime Minister, The Irresistible Flood Of Historical Development [Pleas

"From then on until the beginning of the period of King Wu of Qin, the State of Qin took the lead in setting up Prime Minister Zuo and Prime Minister Right as the deputy prime ministers.

"This is the time when the position of prime minister first appeared. Since then, the prime minister and the prime minister have always existed at the same time."

"Then until Lu Buwei, the last prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, was deposed and exiled by the First Emperor Ying Zheng because he was involved in the rebellion of the Lao Ai Group.

"At the same time, the First Emperor Yingzheng also believed that the power of the prime minister was too great, so he abolished the position of the prime minister.

"However, although the position of prime minister was abolished, the positions of left and right prime ministers were still retained."

"From this time on, the left and right prime ministers gradually replaced the prime minister, and Pei Zi inherited part of the prime minister's power.

I heard Yan Changqing talk about the appearance of the prime minister and the process of controlling the prime minister to replace the prime minister.

The princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes below, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang in the dark room on the other side, all looked vaguely thoughtful.

However, because there is too little information currently available, we cannot further grasp the key points.

"After that, the First Emperor Yingzheng unified the world, established a unified dynasty, and established the system of three ministers and nine ministers."

"The three princes are the prime minister, the prince, and the 17 gods."

"The Prime Minister is equivalent to the former Prime Minister Zuo. He assists the Emperor in handling national affairs and is the highest minister in the court and under the Emperor. At the same time, from this time on

Prime Minister officially became a clear official position. "

"The imperial censor is the assistant to the prime minister. He is in charge of books, books, and memorials, and supervises all officials. He is equivalent to the former right prime minister."

"The Taiwei is responsible for managing the country's military affairs and mastering military power. He obeys the emperor's orders during war and can mobilize the army according to the emperor's talismans. This is an opportunity to become independent from the military power previously held by the left and right prime ministers."

"Among the three princes, the three powers are separated and restrain each other. They are not subordinate to each other. They are directly subordinate to the emperor and responsible to the emperor."

"Although the prime minister at this time has lost the military power he had when he was the prime minister before, his own power is still very great. He can command hundreds of officials and assist the emperor in all matters. Under one person [E of Five!"

Then I heard Yan Changqing talk about the changes between the prime minister, the left and right prime ministers, and then the three princes.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang in the dark room on the other side, as well as the more sensitive beings such as Prince Zhu Biao and King Yan Zhu Di, have vaguely guessed what Yan Changqing wants to say next.

Yan Changqing's calm and clear voice continued:

"After that, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the system of internal dynasty and external dynasty was established."

"Among them, the inner dynasty, that is, the central dynasty, is the decision-making body, composed of Zhongshu Ling, Shi Zhong, and Chang Shi; in the Qin Dynasty, the 'Three Dukes' became the outer dynasty, which was an executive agency; if there was a report to the central dynasty in advance, it would be decided by the central dynasty. Executed outside Korea. "

"At this time, the prime minister's decision-making power has been greatly weakened again!"

"Then during the Tang Dynasty, the system of three provinces and six ministries was established, replacing the previous system of three ministers and nine ministers, as well as the internal and external dynasty systems.

"The three provinces can not only check each other to avoid dictatorship, but also pool their wisdom to enhance the correctness of decision-making."

"And among them, the chief ministers of the provinces are equivalent to the prime ministers. It turns out that the power behind the prime ministers has been further divided!"

"Finally, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the system of two governments and three governments replaced the system of three provinces and six ministries."

"Among the two departments and three departments of the government, the Zhongshu Menxia and the Privy Council are responsible for administration and military affairs, and there are also counselors for political affairs and three departments for envoys. The original power behind the prime minister has been further dispersed."

"Although in the late Northern Song Dynasty, when the court was in political chaos, there were many cases where the prime minister exercised power."

"But that's not because of the system, it's simply because the emperor of the Song Dynasty was too useless."

After hearing Yan Changqing's words, he made no secret of his contempt for the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and even derogatory remarks.

Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes could not help but twitch the corners of their mouths, and had no complaints in their hearts:

【At least pay some attention and try to give us a little face!】

[No matter what, we are still the princes, princes, and kings of the dynasty! 】

[Although I am criticizing the emperor of the former dynasty, is this "disrespecting the emperor" a bit too unscrupulous even for the emperor of the previous dynasty?!!]

However, they suppressed their words when they thought that Yan Changqing, even their father and the emperor, sometimes didn't give him much face, and even bluntly said that their father was short-sighted.

Anyway, it's not their father who is scolding him, so don't care, just scold him.

Unless Yan Changqing opens his mouth to talk about their father again, then they will "ask for his father back".

The blackboard on the right behind Yan Changqing was filled with the changes in the power of the prime minister. Then he turned to look at the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and concluded:

"From the prime minister state in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the left and right prime minister system before the unification of the Qin Dynasty."

"Then to the Sangong and Jiuqing system after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, and then to the internal and external dynasty system of the Han Dynasty."

"Then we went to the three provinces and six ministries system of the Tang Dynasty, and then to the two government and three department systems of the Song Dynasty, until now."

"We can see the ongoing struggle between kingship and prime ministerial power."

"In this process, even if the power of the prime minister can occasionally overwhelm the power of the monarch, the final overall development trend is that the power of the prime minister will continue to be cut and dispersed by the power of the monarch!

"And the emperors throughout the ages have had only one purpose of constantly cutting and dispersing the power of the prime minister, and that is to prevent the power of the prime minister from threatening or shaking the monarch's power as much as possible!"

"Because the more heroic and powerful the emperor is, the more unbearable it is for the prime minister to have exclusive power, which may even overwhelm the king's power!!"

"Then we will suppress, disperse, and cut off the power of the prime minister, so as to strengthen the emperor's imperial power as much as possible!!!"

"This is a development trend and general trend in history throughout the ages!!!"

"Even His Majesty is also in the midst of this rolling tide of historical development."

"Whether His Majesty knows it or not, whether he is willing or unwilling, he will follow, or be carried forward by, such a surging historical development!!!"

"Unless your Majesty is willing to endure the potential risk of continuing to threaten the power of the prime minister and shake the power of the emperor."

"But even if His Majesty can continue to endure the threat of Prime Minister's power and the potential risk of shaking the power of the Emperor." 887

"In the not-too-distant future, the next generation of emperors from the Ming Dynasty, or the next generation of emperors..."

"There will eventually be an emperor who cannot bear the threat of prime ministership and the risk of shaking the emperor's power!"

"At that time, the power of the prime minister will either be completely cut off and scattered to pieces, or it will be simply abolished!!"

"This is the unchangeable and unshiftable trend of historical development!!!"

Yan Changqing's powerful words echoed in this small classroom.

Whether it is the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes below, or Zhu Yuanzhang in the dark room on the other side, hearing Yan Changqing's words is like directly seeing and peeking into the future, calm and full of incomparable confidence Discourse.

They all felt inexplicably that there was an invisible, but indeed existing, historical tide in this world throughout the ages, crushing and washing away towards them irresistibly!!!

Facing such a majestic historical tide, even Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but feel slightly suffocated. He was unable to resist, and he was powerless to let it sweep and coerce him, heading towards the visible but invisible future, Wash away in a mighty manner!
