Chapter 228 Zhu Yuanzhang Is About To Abolish The Prime Minister System And Appoint Hu Weiyong As Pr
Chapter 228 Zhu Yuanzhang is about to abolish the prime minister system and appoint Hu Weiyong as prime minister!
The lamps burned brightly, lighting up the palace.
Zhu Xiongying's little dumpling was sitting upright at the table writing his homework. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the little dumpling with pleasure.
So diligent in learning.
Only in the future can we manage the Ming Dynasty well.
Zhu Yuanzhang held the memorial in his hand and sat on the official hat chair nearby. He looked away and his thoughts turned to the previous things.
Previously he asked Ye Xuan if Hu Weiyong could be the prime minister.
First, he wanted to see Ye Xuan's attitude.
Let's see if Ye Xuan can guess his own mind.
The second is to see if Ye Xuan has ambitions for power.
However, judging from Ye Xuan's attitude, Ye Xuan is not interested in who should be the prime minister.
And Ye Xuan didn't guess what he was thinking.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang very satisfied.
"It seems that my plan is so perfect that even the resourceful Ye Xuan can't figure it out, and Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and others can't figure it out even more.
"Those civil and military officials are even more unpredictable."
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and thought.
There was a look of pride on his face.
He has made up his mind to abolish the prime minister system.
After all, the prime minister has too much power, which easily produces powerful ministers, which is not conducive to the emperor's concentration of power.
The Yuan Dynasty was due to the exclusive power of the prime minister.
The Yuan Dynasty was turned upside down and destroyed.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang disliked the prime minister system very much.
He always wanted to abolish the chancellery.
But directly abolished.
It will definitely be opposed by the ministers150.
Therefore, he must perform a show for the officials.
This is the scene where Wise Monarch tolerates the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister takes advantage of it.
For this reason, he wanted to support a prime minister who was powerful and organized for personal gain.
In this way, he would have enough reason to abolish the prime minister system.
Centralize power.
Maybe we can also kill some powerful officials by the way.
And Hu Weiyong was the person he chose.
Hu Weiyong has enough ambition and greed.
But he is far less intelligent than Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others.
Such people are easily corrupted by power.
Became arrogant and foreign.
Only ambitious and greedy people are easily controlled.
In addition, Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang had a good relationship.
Push people like this up.
Something is bound to happen.
And this is what Zhu Yuanzhang wants.
If Hu Weiyong doesn't cause trouble.
He has no reason to punish Hu Weiyong and others, and there is no reason to get rid of the prime minister system that has been passed down for thousands of years.
The prime minister evolved from the retainer position of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
The original starting point was to assist the monarch and prime minister in government affairs.
During the Warring States Period, an autocratic monarchy and a centralized bureaucracy took shape, and all major countries generally established a prime minister system.
The Qin State was influenced by the Three Jin Dynasties.
Set relatively late.
After the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries.
There was no effective management system at that time.
leading to disorderly development of the country.
Under this circumstance, Qin Shihuang implemented a centralized system—the prime minister system.
As the core of national management.
The prime minister was originally just a position in the Qin State.
But as the area ruled by Qin continued to expand.
The scope of political management is getting wider and wider.
Therefore, after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he established the prime minister system to unify the national management system and make the political system more sound and stable.
Then, the prime minister system went through complicated development and changes.
The Three Gongs and Nine Ministers system of Qin and Han Dynasties.
The three provinces and six ministries system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished it.
The Qin Dynasty had a three-gong and nine-qing system. The three princes were the Taishi, the imperial censor, and the prime minister.
The prime minister is the leader of all officials.
Nashe the emperor.
Assistant Wanji.
There are left and right prime ministers.
Honor the right.
The Yushi doctor "in charge of the deputy prime minister" is in charge of supervision.
They don't belong to each other.
Keep each other in check.
This ensured that decision-making power was concentrated in the hands of the emperor.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, a ministerial desk was set up.
Prime Minister of State Affairs.
There is a Shangshu Ling and a Shangshu Pushe on the Shangshu desk.
It is the emperor's real decision-making and command-making authority.
The Sangong and the Nine Qings just live their lives to do things.
A false name.
No real power.
The Wei and Jin Dynasties were a system of three provinces and six ministries.
This strengthened the emperor's power.
It laid the foundation for the three provinces and six ministries system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Sui and Tang Dynasties, three provinces and six ministries.
The three provinces are Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province.
The Zhongshu Provincial Committee is the decision-making body.
Responsible for drafting and issuing imperial edicts.
The province is the deliberative body.
Responsible for reviewing government orders and refuting violations.
The Shangshu Province is the executive agency.
Responsible for the implementation (bhbd) of important government orders.
The three provinces are the highest political institutions of the central government.
The governors of the three provinces are also prime ministers.
Jointly responsible for central government affairs.
The six departments are the officials, households, soldiers, workers, punishments, and rites under the Shangshu Province.
In the Song Dynasty, the power of the prime minister, which integrated political, financial, and military power, was divided into three.
The prime minister, the three ministers, and the privy envoys restrained each other.
Weakened the power of the prime minister.
Strengthened the emperor's direct control over the political power.
The Yuan Dynasty abandoned the previous three-province system (Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province, and Menxia Province).
Implement a one-province system.
That is to say, the Zhongshu Province was established as the highest administrative agency of the central government.
Prime Minister's Government Affairs.
The central government established the Zhongshu Province.
But Zhongshu Ling is a false title.
It is also led by the Crown Prince.
Under the order of Zhongshu, there were left and right prime ministers.
He is the actual prime minister.
There are six volumes under Zhongshu Province.
The chief is the minister, and the minister is the deputy chief, who handles government affairs together with the minister.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the central and local political systems basically followed the Yuan Dynasty.
The central government established the Ministry of Education.
Set up the left and right prime ministers.
Zhu Yuanzhang found that the power of the prime minister of Zhongshu Province and the local provinces was too great.
decided to reform.
In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang killed the Prime Minister Hu Weiyong and abolished Zhongshu Sheng and the Prime Minister.
It also stipulates that future generations are not allowed to establish the position of prime minister.
Improve the status of the six departments.
The major affairs are entrusted to the six ministries.
The six parts manage the affairs of the world.
Therefore, there is no leader above the Minister of Rites.
Each of the six divisions does not belong to each other.
The six ministerial books are ranked equally.
There is only one emperor above.
The prime minister system that had been implemented for more than a thousand years since the Qin and Han Dynasties was abolished.
Hu Weiyong's residence.
The eunuch led a group of people from Wuyangyang to Hu Weiyong's residence.
Hu Weiyong and others knelt on the ground to listen to the order.
"TE....."
"......... Appoint Hu Weiyong as Prime Minister Zuo."
"Thank you for this——!"
Hu Weiyong was so excited that his whole body was shaking with excitement, blood rushed to his head, and his face turned red.
He took the imperial decree with both hands and was so excited that he could not speak.
Hu Weiyong looked at the imperial edict.
There is an unreal feeling.
His official career has never been smooth.
I thought Li Shanchang had fallen.
He has no backer.
Unexpectedly, he became the prime minister.
"Congratulations, Prime Minister."
The eunuch said with a smile.
"Thank you."
Hu Weiyong didn't know what to say for a while.
He was so excited.
He is now the Prime Minister Zuo.
One person is inferior to ten thousand people.
Before, he had to rely on Li Shanchang, but now, he doesn't need to rely on anyone, there is only one emperor above his head.
"I didn't expect that my fortune, Hu Weiyong, would turn out right."
"This must be a God-sent opportunity!"
"It's really great."
Hu Weiyong suddenly changed his mind and thought that Ji Shanchang's downfall must be a bad thing.
If Li Shanchang does not fall.
I'm afraid that the position of prime minister will never be my turn.
