Chapter 159 Zhu Yuanzhang’s imperial art: checks and balances!
Royal study room.
"I will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"The emperor asked me to go east, but I will never go west.
"I will do my best to repay the emperor's favor!"
Yang Xian said loudly.
Try your best to show your loyalty.
It was as if he wanted to show Zhu Yuanzhang a bright red, hot and loyal heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang:...
Zhu Biao standing aside:...
Maybe it’s because people’s joys and sorrows are incompatible.
They only felt that Yang Xian, who was happy and loyal, was very noisy.
But they couldn't show any impatience.
After being forced to listen to Yang Xian's speech expressing his loyalty for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and asked him to go back well, and was heading towards the left prime minister.
After Yang Xian left, the noisy sound in the imperial study disappeared, and it suddenly seemed quiet.
"Father, you want to be promoted to Yang Xian's official position, why don't you do it directly and ask Liu Bowen for his opinion?"
Zhu Biao asked with a puzzled face.
Zhu Yuanzhang's approach seemed strange to him.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to promote Yang Xian.
However, he chose not to directly promote Yang Xian.
Still going around in circles.
Ask Yang Xian’s teacher Liu Bowen.
This is undoubtedly scratching the itch through the shoes, and then taking off the shoes to scratch the itch. Isn't this unnecessary? If you directly take off the shoes to scratch the itch, there will be no middle ground.
What's more, Liu Bowen did not agree with Yang Xian being the prime minister of the left.
This is fun.
Liu Bowen is Yang Xian's teacher.
The relationship between the two is relatively close.
Moreover, they are both members of the Zhejiang Party.
At least he was standing on a rope.
Yang Xian wants to be promoted.
This is a good thing.
It is also good for the Zhejiang Party.
Liu Bowen should have no reason to disagree.
But Liu Bowen disagreed.
Objected.
What puzzled Zhu Biao was that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to tell Yang Xian about this.
why is that?
Zhu Biao had countless doubts in his heart.
"You."
"Although you have been with us since childhood, your city is still too shallow."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and then explained:
"Let's go around in circles like this."
"Of course we have deep meaning."
"Do you know why we promoted Yang Xian?"
Zhu Biao was a little confused.
"Isn't it because of Yang Xian's outstanding performance and talents that Yang Xian was given the post of Prime Minister Zuo?"
"Are there any twists and turns in it?"
"Let's do this."
"Of course it won't be considered from just one aspect."
"Yang Xian's performance is indeed outstanding in terms of political achievements."
"The talent is also excellent."
"However, there are many people who are better than him."
"Why don't we promote others, but promote Yang Xian?"
"Biao'er, do you know why?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and asked.
Zhu Biao shook his head.
"As an emperor, you need to weigh the power in the court."
"We will promote Yang Xian and make him prime minister of the left."
"It's because Yang Xian is from the Zhejiang Party."
"Now Yang Xian has vaguely become the leader of the Zhejiang Party."
"Let's promote him."
"The purpose is to allow him to confront the Huaixi Honorable Party headed by Li Shanchang."
"Otherwise, he will only be involved in political affairs."
"How to lead the Zhejiang Party to fight against those Western-minded factions?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
The Huaixi nobles are Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others who conquered the world together with Zhu Yuanzhang. Now that the world has been conquered, a country has been established, and all those Huaixi nobles have been made marquises and generals by Zhu Yuanzhang.
This group of people is now extremely powerful.
There is little that can compete with them.
If this continues, there will definitely be an imbalance of power in the court.
The power in the hands of the emperor will also be restricted.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang promoted Yang Xian of the Zhejiang Party.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to make the Zhejiang Party strong enough to compete with the Huaixi nobles.
As for why Yang Xian was promoted.
This is because Liu Bowen, the leader of the Zhejiang Party, is clean and honest, does not participate in party struggles, and ignores people who do such things.
in short.
If Liu Bowen was the leader of the Zhejiang Party, he would not lead the Zhejiang Party to suppress the nobles of Huaixi.
Yang Xian is different.
He has ambitions, desires, and is young and energetic and refuses to admit defeat.
Such people are easiest to control.
Zhu Yuanzhang could secretly control Yang Xian, control the Zhejiang Party, and suppress the powerful Huaixi nobles.
Zhu Yuanzhang informed Zhu Biao of all the stakes.
Zhu Biao was stunned.
"I see."
"But Father, you haven't said yet why you asked Liu Bowen for his opinion when Yang Xian was promoted?"
"Liu Bowen disagrees with the promotion of Yang Xian to Prime Minister Zuo."
"Why did my father ignore Liu Bowen's opinion and promote Yang Xian to the rank of Prime Minister of the Left?"
"Isn't this a contradiction in terms?"
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said:
"We just explained why Yang Xian was promoted."
"And what you're talking about, Biao'er, is the second question."
"We spend so much time on it."
"I've thought about it later."
"We want Yang Xian to lead the Zhejiang East Party to counter the Huaixi Xungui."
…Please give me flowers…
"The current party in eastern Zhejiang is not as noble as that in Huaixi."
"But if the party in eastern Zhejiang grows stronger in the future."
“Huaixi’s nobles and nobles are not as good as it.
"That becomes a hidden danger."
“There has to be a solution.
"And our method is to instigate the relationship between Liu Bowen and Yang Xian, causing them to have discord or even break up."
"In this way, the power of the East Zhejiang Party will be dispersed."
“There can be checks and balances on each other.”
"In this way, the forces in the court can be balanced again."
Liu Bowen now controls Yushitai, and Yang Xian is now Prime Minister Zuo. As they grow stronger in the future, they may be difficult to control, so Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward to instigate a relationship between the two.
Let them divide.
Checks and balances.
Zhu Biao was deeply shocked.
He didn't expect that just getting promoted would have so many twists and turns.
0
First, Yang Xian was promoted to an official position.
Let Yang Xian lead the Zhejiang East Party to check and balance the Huaixi nobles headed by Li Shanchang.
They are also worried that the East Zhejiang Party will have too much power in the future.
He instigated the relationship between Liu Bowen and Yang Xian of the East Zhejiang Party and caused discord between them.
Even split.
Balance the situation in the court.
This move accomplishes multiple things with one stone.
How wonderful!
"As an emperor, you should know how to weigh things."
“When doing something, consider all aspects.
"Biao'er, remember what we just said.
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Yes, my father, I will definitely remember this.
Zhu Biao's fat face was full of seriousness.
Ministry of Industry.
The sound of knocking continued.
"hurry up!"
"Don't be lazy!"
Officials from the Ministry of Industry supervised the shipwrights and asked them to work overtime to build warships.
"Lord Shangshu!"
The supervising officials were in awe when they saw the Minister of Industry.
The Minister of Industry nodded and looked around the scene in the dock. The shipwrights were working enthusiastically and were sweating profusely.
"This time the emperor will build more warships and expand the scale of the Armada and maritime trade."
"We have a lot of work to do."
"It must be completed within the specified time."
"Supervise the work well.
“Don’t make mistakes.”
"yes!"
The supervising official responded with a trembling voice.
As Zhu Yuanzhang increased the production of the Armada, the Ministry of Industry worked overtime to continuously build warships, and one warship after another was built.
The Armada expands in size.
After a period of time, dozens of warships, carrying more Ming products, set off again to conduct maritime trade with other countries.
