Chapter 184 The cabinet is good!(1/2)
Lu Chang was beaten in the court, and even though he wanted to continue to advise Zhu Yuanzhang not to abolish the prime minister system, so as not to harm the country and the people and the world.
But he was beaten to the point of being so shady that even though he was not in danger of life, he wanted to walk around casually in a short time.
It's not that lenient.
What's more, Lu Chang is already old, so it is natural that everyone in his family cannot be as brave and fearless as he is like him.
At least Lu Chang's son, after he learned that his father was almost killed in the court because he contradicted Zhu Yuanzhang, he hurriedly persuaded him.
But Lu Chang is the head of the family.
How could he give up because of his son's persuasion?
He was yelling to get up and continue to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, but he didn't have the ability now, so he had to wait until his injury healed.
But when Lu Chang was clamoring to see Zhu Yuanzhang at home, a slave outside hurried in to report, saying:
"There is a man who calls himself His Highness the King of Liao, and I don't know him. What do you think, Master?"
Lv Chang was stunned. He had previously written to His Majesty the Emperor to ask His Highness the King of Liao to go to Liaodong to take the vassal as soon as possible.
His Highness the King of Liao must have hated himself, let alone this time His Majesty the Emperor wants to abolish the prime minister system.
I stood up and opposed it, and I was beaten up. Logically, others would be unwilling to keep a distance from me.
How could this King of Liao come over?
Lu Chang was a little confused, but no one in Yingtian Prefecture dared to pretend to be the King of Liao.
Lu Chang hurriedly asked someone to pull him to the door to greet him. Sure enough, after walking to the door,
I saw King Liao Zhu Qi standing there.
Didn't come in directly,
But after seeing Lu Chang being helped out,
Hurry up and win,
Holding Lu Chang with both hands and saying:
"Mr. Lu, you are not seriously injured.
Don't walk around, hurry back to your room to rest."
Although Lu Chang was wondering why His Highness of the King of Liao came here, he did not dare to show any negligence on his face, and bowed and said:
"I thank you for your concern to King Liao."
Lu Chang's son hurriedly helped Lu Chang walk into the room, waiting for Lu Chang to lie down.
Zhu Qicai sat aside and waved to the back. Gao Jin took out a pack of medicine from behind. Zhu Qi said:
"This is the plaster I took from the Imperial Hospital to treat skin trauma. Mr. Lu also asked Mr. Lu to apply it twice a day. I believe that he will recover soon."
Lu Chang said in tears:
"I thanked His Highness the King of Liao, and His Highness the King of Liao is the first to come to see him.
Previously, I also told Your Majesty that His Highness, the King of Liao, would he not hold a grudge against me?"
Zhu Qi said with a smile:
"As the King of Liao, it is natural for me to go to the vassal state.
As for those of them who dared not come to visit Mr. Lu, they were worried that their father would be angry.
The people who were related to Mr. Lu were also punished.
But Mr. Lu, don't worry,
This king has already told His Highness the Crown Prince,
I also told my mother.
I will definitely persuade my father and not be too angry.
As for Mr. Lu, regarding the abolition of the prime minister system, I think it is better not to go to the front of the father and the emperor again.
Although my father is relieved now, if you mention it again, you might be angry. What will happen? I can't guarantee it."
What Zhu Qi said is indeed the truth. Although Zhu Yuanzhang has been persuaded now, if Lu Chang still persuades him, he will anger Zhu Yuanzhang if he is not careful, he will really lose his life.
Zhu Qi still hopes that people like Lu Chang can have more people in the court.
Stubbornness is a bit stubborn, but at least the mind is very correct.
In this court, it is better to have more upright people like Lu Chang.
Although Zhu Qi had already made it clear that he had persuaded him, if Lu Chang could just listen to you casually, then he wouldn't be Lu Chang.
He hesitated for a moment, then said to Zhu Qi:
"Your Highness is kind-hearted and does not blame the weak ministers. He made a statement before His Highness, and asked you to go to Liaodong as soon as possible to become a vassal.
But the gentle minister could only understand His Highness's kindness, and this prime minister's system must not be abandoned at will.
No one in the court dared to stand up and say that at my age, I can't live for a few years, so I will give it to you.
If I die, I can awaken His Majesty, this life is worth it."
Zhu Qi was a little speechless, so Lu Chang was too stubborn and always wanted to make a name for himself.
Although this prime minister system is a good system in the eyes of scholars, it is really useless in Zhu Qi's eyes.
This prime minister may be the pillar of helping the emperor.
But the prime minister is the same, and can become the core of the chaos of the court.
Whether it was the demise of the Song Dynasty or the Yuan Dynasty, the core reason was that the master was weak and the ministers were strong.
Look at the current Beiyuan, where is the emperor's role? The entire Beiyuan is controlled by the Prime Minister Wang Baobao.
Not only the Song and Yuan dynasties, but most of the chaotic periods of the previous dynasty were caused by traitors.
The entire feudal dynasty was constantly strengthening the process of centralization. By the late Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, centralization had reached its peak.
It is imperative to strengthen centralization and abolish the prime minister system.
As for whether centralization or decentralization is better, Zhu Qi couldn't say it, and he didn't feel anything.
Anyway, he will never be an emperor in his life, let alone consider such things, nor is it what he needs to consider.
As long as he did his own thing well and watched the Ming Dynasty develop healthily, Zhu Qi had no ambitions as to how many years this dynasty could last.
However, I definitely can't say that to Lu Chang at this time. He also has to fool Lu Chang and tell him not to be obsessed with the prime minister system.
If you don’t leave the prime minister system, then what should you go?
It’s definitely a cabinet system!
Facts have proved that the cabinet system in the Ming Dynasty was excellent than the prime minister system.
After all, many individuals are better at making suggestions together than if one or two of you are arbitrary.
Zhu Qi came to persuade Lu Chang this time to use the cabinet system to fool him.
Anyway, what Lu Chang was afraid of was that there would be no one to assist the emperor in the future, which led to a foolish emperor, which would lead to the decline of the country and nation.
In this case, just brew the cabinet and analyze it carefully with Lu Chang.
I believe that Lu Chang will no longer hold on to the prime minister.
Zhu Qi sat down calmly on the edge of the aluminum, then tidied up his robe before slowly saying:
"Mr. Lu, you misunderstood me. I did not come here this time to tell you not to go to your father's side to advise you again.
Instead, I want to discuss the issue of the prime minister system with Mr. Lu.”
Before Lu Chang could speak, he heard Zhu Qi continue to say:
"In the morning court today, I also heard Mr. Lu say the examples of Xiao He and others at the court meeting.
It is true that they are all the best names.
But every dynasty has experienced so many prime ministers who can make a name for themselves and make a difference.
As for the rest, I believe I don’t need to say anything. Mr. Lu also understands that it is not really good if he can be said to be so powerful.
The decisions they make are not all about making the country develop in a good direction.
What I want to say is not how bad the prime minister system is, but that there are still many choices outside the prime minister system..."
Zhu Qi paused here and thought about the development of the country. Relying on individual power alone is actually very weak. What he really relies on is the power of the system and the power of thought.
Only when the system thinking is not too bad can the country move forward without being too bad.
It’s like during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period, Qin appointed Shang Yang and changed the system of Qin.
Even after Shang Yang's death in the future, Qin State can still strengthen its own strength in accordance with the laws and regulations established by Shang Yang.
This is the power of the system.
The simple prime minister still relies on personal strength, so Zhu Qi is actually not optimistic about the prime minister system. Under the development of the historical tide, the prime minister system will definitely be eliminated.
