Because in the previous "Slaying Dragon Skills" lecture, Yan Changqing once told them that "fist is power" and "power comes from fist".

So hearing Yan Changqing's question, this was the first thing Zhu Di thought of.

Yan Changqing shook his head lightly and said:

"This answer can also be said to be the correct answer."

"However, I have another explanation."

"If you want to judge the power of a person, you only need to look at how much scope he can be responsible for and how many things he can handle, then how much power he has!!' 々!"

"If he can be in charge of a county and deal with the affairs of a county, then he has the power of a county."

"If he can be in charge of a state and handle the affairs of a state, then he will have the power of a state."

"If he is able to take charge of the land of a government and handle the affairs of a government, then he will have the power of a government."

"If he can be in charge of a province and deal with the affairs of a province, then he will have the power of a province."

"Similarly, if he can be in charge of a country and deal with the affairs of a country, then he will also hold the power of a country!!!"

"In other words, when the cabinet is entrusted with the responsibility to prepare and approve thousands of state affairs and government affairs of a country, then it will naturally control the power of a country in disguise!!!"

"Who can control the power of a country?!"

"It is the power that only the emperor can grasp!!!"

"When the cabinet also controls the power of a country, does the world belong to the cabinet or the emperor?!"

"In addition, even if the emperor firmly holds the power to make decisions about the cabinet ministers, it is only the cabinet ministers who make decisions."

"In other words, even if the emperor abolishes the cabinet ministers and replaces them with new cabinet ministers."

"However, as long as the cabinet is still in charge of drafting and approving proposals for dealing with state affairs and government affairs of the whole country, the cabinet will still hold the power to influence and change the whole country!!!"

"It has nothing to do with who the ministers in the cabinet are."

"As for the cabinet that has the power to influence and change a country, how different is it from the previous prime minister?!"

"It's just that the original prime minister system has been renamed and replaced by the cabinet system; the original prime minister has been renamed the cabinet."

"There is not much difference in essence between the two."

After Yan Changqing finished speaking, in the classroom, Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fang, Zhu Di and other princes were all silent.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a muffled voice:

"Since this cabinet will also become the next prime minister, then let's not set up this cabinet!!!"

"Just like abolishing the prime minister system, we now abolish the cabinet system!!!"

"In this way, it should not threaten the emperor's imperial power, right?!"

On the podium, upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Yan Changqing couldn't help laughing and said:

"Your Majesty, the cabinet system has not been established yet?!"

"How did you abolish it?!!"

"The so-called cabinet system is just a future deduction I made based on the way Your Majesty and Your Highnesses are currently handling government affairs and state affairs."

"Although I think that according to the current way of handling government affairs and state affairs, sooner or later in the future, it will gradually become the cabinet system model I just mentioned."

Hearing Yan Changqing's words, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said:

"Hmph, then we won't be allowed to set up a cabinet system in the future, so it's okay for the head office?!"

"` In this way, there will be no prime minister or cabinet that can threaten the emperor's imperial power in the future, right?!"

Yan Changqing suppressed the smile on his face, shook his head slightly and said:

"Even without the previous prime minister system and the current cabinet system, there will still be a new special existence in the future, which is equivalent to the prime minister and the cabinet."

"Your Majesty's level of diligence is rare in ancient and modern times."

"But only relying on His Majesty, can you really handle the complicated and heavy state affairs in the world in a timely and proper manner?!"

"Does not!!!"

"The fundamental reason why the prime minister and the cabinet appeared is because the emperor alone, even if he tried his best, could not handle the complicated and heavy state affairs of the world by himself!!!"

"The Son of Heaven is a man after all, not a god."

"So if the Son of Heaven wants to handle the state affairs and government affairs in a timely and proper manner, he must delegate power and have other officials to assist him."

"How much responsibility (Li Haohao) the courtier has, so how much power will he have!"

"And as long as other ministers are given the responsibility to handle the state affairs and government affairs of the world, then these ministers will naturally be given the power to influence and decide the world!!!"

"And as long as a subject has such power, even if such a subject does not have the name of prime minister or cabinet, they will still have the reality of prime minister and cabinet."

"A person with the power of the prime minister may change his name, but he will never really disappear completely."

This is just like the stalk of Prime Minister Cao in Yan Changqing's previous life.

Although Prime Minister Cao himself has passed away for thousands of years, there are still many "Prime Minister Cao" after thousands of years.

Chapter 244: Solutions that treat the symptoms but not the root cause 【Please subscribe, please order in full】

After listening to what Yan Changqing said, Prince Zhu Biao stood up, bowed to Yan Changqing, and asked solemnly:

"Is there no other way to avoid the reappearance of prime minister power, or is there a way for the cabinet power to threaten the emperor's power?!"

Yan Changqing shook his head, sighed and said:

"Essentially speaking, there is no fundamental solution to this problem."

Why are there roles such as Zhongshu Sheng and the prime minister, the cabinet and the chief assistant? ! !

The essential reason is very simple, because the emperor alone cannot handle the state affairs and political affairs of the whole country! ! !

Therefore, there must be others to help share and deal with the many complicated state affairs and political affairs of the whole country.

Such a person could be Zhongshu Sheng and the prime minister, the cabinet and the chief assistant, or someone else with other names.

But no matter how the name is changed, its essence will not change.

And in the same way, as long as someone is entrusted with the responsibility of assisting the emperor in handling state affairs, then he will naturally have the corresponding power! ! !

Even if there is no such power in name, they will actually have such power, which is not transferred by the emperor's personal will! ! !

How much responsibility is given and how many things are responsible for handling, then how much power will be possessed.

This is the reason why Zhongshu Sheng and the prime minister, as well as the cabinet and the chief assistant, have power comparable to that of the emperor.

Because the Zhongshu Province and the prime minister, as well as the cabinet and the capital, were entrusted by the emperor with the responsibility of drafting and approving the national state affairs and government affairs memorials and handling suggestions.

Therefore, the prime minister and the chief assistant of the 533 cabinet have power almost comparable to that of the emperor when it comes to state affairs and political affairs across the country.

Therefore, if you want to solve this problem fundamentally, as long as the emperor can rely on one person's strength, it is enough to handle the country's large and small state affairs.

Then naturally there will be no such thing as the power of the prime minister, or the power of the cabinet threatening the emperor's power.

However, the Son of Heaven is a human being after all, not a god, and the Son of Heaven cannot do such a thing.

So this question is essentially unsolvable! ! !

Hearing Yan Changqing's answer, deep disappointment flashed in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fang, Zhu Di and other princes.

After all, even Yan Changqing, who they had pinned their hopes on and who in their opinion possessed the wisdom of a sage, had no solution, so this problem is probably completely unsolvable.

Yan Changqing on the podium seemed to have seen the disappointment in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Yu, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and said with a faint smile on his face:

"Although there is no fundamental solution to this problem, there are still solutions that are barely palliative."

As soon as Yan Changqing's words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fang, Zhu Di and other princes, immediately flashed excited expressions on their faces.

Qi Wang Zhu Yu even joked:

"A solution to the symptoms?!"

"What solution can cure big brother?!"

Hearing Qi Wang Zhu's joke, everyone present couldn't help laughing (blank) ⑥⒐⑧5⒉5⑧[-].

Prince Zhu Biao looked at King Qi Zhu Yu even more, and said with an angry face:

"Stinky boy, even the eldest brother is joking..."

After some jokes, Yan Changqing just looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Yu, Zhu Fang, Zhu Di and other princes, and said:

"The Secretary of State and the prime minister, as well as the cabinet and chief assistant, have the power comparable to that of the emperor in state affairs."

"The fundamental reason is that the prime minister and the chief assistant of the cabinet have been entrusted by the emperor with the responsibility to draft and approve national state affairs and government affairs reports and deal with them!!!"

"In other words, in fact, it is only necessary to clearly limit the scope of the State Secretary and the prime minister, or the cabinet and the chief minister's handling of state affairs and political affairs in the country."

"Then it will be natural to limit the powers of the Secretary of State and the Prime Minister, or the cabinet and the Chief Assistant."

"For example, the state affairs and political affairs of the whole country are divided into military affairs, industry affairs, household affairs, agriculture and mulberry affairs, etc."

"And every cabinet minister is clearly responsible for only a part of the state affairs and political affairs to be batched."

"The state affairs and political affairs that the cabinet ministers are respectively responsible for cannot overlap with each other, nor can they intervene arbitrarily, and they should independently plan and approve suggestions."

"In this way, any cabinet minister, including the chief assistant of the cabinet, does not have the power to review the national government affairs. At most, he has the power to influence and decide a certain aspect of state affairs."

"And such power of the cabinet ministers is not enough to threaten the emperor's imperial power."

"In addition, in order to prevent the cabinet ministers who each have influence and determine a certain aspect of state power from uniting, once again forming a huge cabinet power that can threaten the emperor's imperial power."

"So the cabinet ministers who join the cabinet, it is best not to come from the same school!!!"

"For example, if all the ministers in the cabinet are Confucian civil servants, then they who are born in Confucianism are likely to unite in order to safeguard the overall interests of Confucian scholars."

"In this way, the originally scattered cabinet powers will have a chance to be unified again, and then form a huge cabinet power that can threaten the emperor's imperial power!"

"So in the future, when the various schools of thought are revived, the Confucian cabinet ministers can be in charge of the proposals for the batch processing of the world's etiquette and various matters, or the Mohist cabinet ministers can be responsible for the batch processing suggestions of the world's engineering matters, and the peasant cabinet ministers can be responsible for the world. Suggestions on the proposed batch processing of agricultural and mulberry affairs, etc. "

"In this way, the cabinet ministers who come from different schools of thought will reject each other or even oppose each other because of their different interests and demands!!!"

"Then the part of the cabinet power owned by the cabinet ministers will always be in a state of dispersion and exclusion, and it is difficult to unite because of common interests, and then form a huge cabinet power that can threaten the emperor's imperial power. "

"However, even so, the cabinet ministers only said that it is difficult to unite and unify, not that it is impossible to unite and unify at all!"

"In some special cases, these cabinet ministers who came from different schools of thought."

"Even if they have different interests and even conflicts with each other, they may still unite to form a huge and unified cabinet power against the emperor's power!!!"

"So, this method is only a palliative method."

After Yan Changqing finished talking about the solution to the symptoms, Zhu Yuanzhang, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all lowered their heads and contemplated.

[It is clear that the different state affairs and political affairs that each cabinet minister is responsible for cannot overlap with each other, nor can they interfere indiscriminately, and are independent of each other? ! ! 】

[In other words, in fact, it is necessary to set up six cabinet ministers in the cabinet who correspond to the six government affairs memorials of the imperial court! ! ! 】

[The cabinet ministers who join the cabinet must also prevent them from uniting because of common interests, so it is best that all the cabinet ministers come from different schools of thought? ! ! 】

[But the problem is that there is not even a shadow of Zhuzi Baijia now, and the great revival of Zhuzi Baijia is just an idea in Mr. Yan's mouth. 】

[If you want to truly revive the schools of thought, according to Mr. Yan's plan, it will take at least a dozen or 20 years. 】

[It seems that we still have to use Confucian cabinet ministers to make the transition. 】

[For more than ten or twenty years, as long as we are always vigilant against the Confucian cabinet ministers and avoid their unification, it should not be a big problem. 】

[When the schools of thought are fully revived, they will be abolished as soon as possible! ! ! 】

[At that time, it will be possible to further prevent the unity of the cabinet ministers, and at the same time maintain the supremacy of the emperor's imperial power, and also be able to share the world's state affairs and government affairs for the emperor. 】

[This method, although treating the symptoms but not the root cause, is infinitely close to treating the root cause. 】

[As expected, Mr. Yan possesses the wisdom of a sage! ! ! 】

......

After thinking carefully in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fang, Zhu Di and other princes all nodded in satisfaction.

Although Yan Changqing said that this solution was a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution, it was enough to satisfy them.
