Fang Shiyu sighed.

"Boy Fang, what are the flaws in this cabinet? Tell me about the tricks."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to ask.

You should know that Zhu Yuanzhang in history had obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he pursued perfection in everything.

That's why he formulated countless systems when he was alive, from military and national affairs to people's lives, he took care of them all.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang has determined that the cabinet is the most perfect centralized system in his mind, so he can't wait to go back and implement it.

But he didn't expect that the cabinet had flaws and was fatal.

Is this so great?

If it cannot be solved, Zhu Yuanzhang can't sleep well.

"The biggest disadvantage of this cabinet is that it is likely to become another form of ministerial authority."

Fang Shiyu glanced at the three people who were listening attentively, and then said with a smile.

"Boy Fang, you didn't lie to me, are you?"

"What did you say?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, the crown prince, and Lan Yu and others said at the same time.

In their opinion, that was at best just a staff organization, and how could it become another form of authority?

"Why is it impossible? This is too likely!"

Fang Shiyu continued to say the words "Cabinet" by Fang Shiyu.

"The power of the cabinet organization actually varies from person to person."

"If the emperor is diligent and strong, then the cabinet can only honestly perform its duties as an aide."

"But once the emperor neglects the government, the power of the central government will be concentrated in the hands of the cabinet!"

"After just one or two dynasties, I'm afraid that in the hearts of officials from other dynasties, the cabinet represents the power of the prime minister, and the chief minister is the actual prime minister of the Ming Dynasty."

"If that time really comes, it will be difficult for the emperor to take back his power from the cabinet."

Fang Shiyu explained with a smile to the three of them.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet was formed in the Yongli Dynasty.

However, in front of the powerful Zhu Di, the cabinet is a staff organization.

He changes the members of the cabinet if he wants to, and withdraws the members if he wants to.

There was even an incident where the cabinet chief minister was ordered by Zhu Li to freeze to death in a snowy day.

The cabinet during the Yongle period could not threaten the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty.

But this situation has been different since Zhu Di's son Zhu Gaochi inherited the throne.

Zhu Gaochi's health was very poor and his energy could not keep up, so the power of the court gradually moved to the hands of the cabinet.

Then in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng...

Which of these people is not very good at hand?

Even if he is smart, he cannot suppress the cabinet.

The Zhang Juzheng even arrogantly said the shocking words "I am not a person, but a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who

It can be said here that the power of civil servants has reached the peak of power in various dynasties and generations.

The chief minister of the cabinet, he is not the prime minister of the prime minister.

"Um……"

After receiving Fang Shiyu's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang touched his beard and nodded.

Although he is a workaholic, he is very energetic.

Moreover, in addition to handling memorials every day, he also takes time to read the secret reports of the Jinyiwei.

The Ming Dynasty could not hide anything from him.

So even if you set up a cabinet, it is just a tool in your own hands, and you can use it whatever you want.

But the prince's health is not particularly good, so he will definitely rely on the cabinet in the future.

What's more, according to past experience, the more a dynasty goes on, the more relaxed the next emperor will be.

This will inevitably lead to an increase in cabinet power.

It is absolutely inevitable to be above the imperial power at that time.

"That boy Fang, how do you think it should be solved?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked seriously.

"Actually, this is easy to do."

"At this time we need the Sili Superintendent to come forward!"

Fang Shiyu used a brush to write down the three big words "Si Lijian" on the wall.

"Silijian? What kind of yamen is this?"

"It sounds like it's where the eunuchs stay."

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said.

Two years after the appearance of Silijian, it was just a place to train etiquette for eunuchs and palace maids.

However, there are countless yamen in the court that have the word "supervised".

So Zhu Biao felt at the first time that the Silijian should be a place where eunuchs stay.

"Xiao Zhu is right."

"This Silijian is where eunuchs stay, and all the eunuchs are all over the place."

Fang Shiyu nodded and recognized Zhu Biao's guess.

“This is simply a mess.”

"How can those eunuchs interfere in the affairs of the court?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he heard Fang Shiyu actually suggested that the emperor appoint eunuchs.

He was an emperor who paid great attention to summarizing the rise and fall of the previous dynasty.

The reason why the Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty declined and perished was not only the melee of the princes and the separatist rule of the vassal states, but also the most important reason.

That is the eunuch interfering in politics!

By the Han Dynasty and the late Tang Dynasty, eunuchs had great power so much that they could even abolish the emperors.

Because of this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote the eight big words "Eunuchs in the harem must not interfere in politics" on the Imperial Book Sect as the ancestral teachings of the Ming Dynasty.

But now Fang Shiyu actually asked the eunuchs to participate in the government affairs in front of him.

This is no longer a reversal of history, it is simply slapping him in the face in front of him.

"Hahaha, Old Man Zhu, why are you doing so anxious?"

"If others don't know, they would think you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

"Besides, doesn't I make sense?"

Fang Shiyu accused Zhu Yuanzhang of teasing.

"Father, I think it's better to listen to my benefactor finishing his words."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao winked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Anyway, everyone is chatting.

It doesn't matter if you talk about it.

"Well, Xiao Zhu, you have the strength of your eyes!"

"Come on, pour me a cup of hot tea, I'll tell you the way inside."

Fang Shiyu was very satisfied with the performance of Prince Zhu Biao. He patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder and asked him to pour himself a cup of hot tea.
