And at this time.

Zhu Heng shook his head and said with a smile:”Let Lao Zhu’s children suffer?”

“You might as well just kill Lao Zhu with one knife.”

Hearing this,

Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry at all. He just sighed…

This is one of his weaknesses.

What can be changed is called a shortcoming.

What cannot be changed is called a weakness.

Being too good to his descendants is a major advantage of him. Defects, if you want to correct them… it’s easy to say, but hard to do.

“This matter is not easy to handle.”

At this time, Zhu Di also said thoughtfully from the side:”The princes cannot be beaten or scolded… It is simply as difficult as climbing to the sky to make them become talents.”

“Don’t be too pretentious. Zhu Heng glanced at him speechlessly and said,”It’s like a nine-link chain.””

“Encountered such a messy problem”

“Of course I have to cut it off with a single blow!”

“You don’t mean……”

Zhu Yuanzhang’s expression suddenly changed:”Want to kill?”

“Killing you is a matter of selecting the best! Zhu Heng was speechless:”If the boss can’t do it, of course we have to choose a good professional manager.””

“Professional manager?”Zhu Yuanzhang and his son were all stunned for a moment.

But Zhu Heng said lazily:”He is just a good shopkeeper.……”

“Have you noticed that whether you are a businessman or an emperor, children and grandchildren generally lose their fortunes not because of enjoyment?”

“It’s because they have great ambitions and want to start a business!”

“How much money can you spend on eating, drinking and having fun?”

“But once you want to do something big, it will be troublesome.……”

“At this time, you must have a good shopkeeper and restrain him in time. Therefore, the focus of the problem is to establish a professional manager, oh…that is, the shopkeeper system!”

“Shopkeeper? Hearing this

, Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly startled:”Isn’t that the Prime Minister?””

“Yes and no.”Zhu Heng also became interested in talking. He held a meat skewer and seemed to point out the country:”Although the prime minister’s power is great, it has its drawbacks.”

“That means monopolizing power, which can lead to becoming a powerful official, or even posing as an emperor.”

“For example, Wang Mang, Yu Wenhu… there are too many examples”

“But this shopkeeper system greatly weakens the power of the prime minister. First of all, it takes away the decision-making power of the prime minister and returns it to the emperor!”

“The shopkeeper only has the right to make suggestions!”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said with a smile:”A bit naive.”

I thought Zhu Heng was going to come up with something…

It turned out that what he finally came up with was a weakened prime minister.

This kind of thing… has been around for a long time.

The power of the prime minister depends on the strength of the monarch.

The monarch is strong. , the power of the prime minister will naturally weaken, but how can there be no tyrant in the future of the Ming Dynasty?

This is the case in all dynasties.

But Zhu Heng’s next words suddenly shocked him.……

“Secondly, the shopkeeper is given the right to seal”

“If the shopkeeper feels that the emperor’s order is wrong, he can refute it and never follow the edict.”

“If the emperor wanted to enforce the edict, he could only replace him with a chief assistant, that is, the boss’s”

“But if the next chief minister still exercises the right to refute, he can only continue to change until… the emperor surrenders!”

The words fell!

The whole place was silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s face was stunned. After a moment, he was shocked and angry:”If a minister dares to disobey the imperial edict, can he still be called a minister?”

“That is a powerful official and should be killed! But

Zhu Heng glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang in confusion:”I asked, why do you think like an emperor?””

“As I said before, if the emperor wants to enforce the edict, he can change his chief minister”

“Why don’t you think about it?”

“If an edict was rejected by several consecutive chief ministers, what kind of edict would it be?”

After the words fell,

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

And Zhu Di was also restrained and couldn’t help but said in surprise:

“Those ministers value their official position and reputation the most. If they would rather resign from their official position than refute it… then it would be a tyranny that would shake the country?”

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was also in shock and murmured:”This can really restrain the Hunjun.……”

What is tyranny?

In short, it is a policy that harms the interests of everyone.

Although the emperor has great power, he really cannot do whatever he wants.

If he wants to implement policies, he must gain the support of at least some people before he can implement them.

Either the policy can bring benefits to the people, or it can bring benefits to the noble ministers.

A successful policy must be able to build consensus.

But if there is a policy that can force several consecutive chief ministers to resign, they will not dare to obey the order…

If such a policy is implemented, it will definitely cause big chaos!

Zhu Yuanzhang had been in power for a long time, and he immediately understood the subtlety of this strategy!

He immediately looked at Zhu Heng with shock and curiosity and said,”This strategy is a great benefit.”……”

Although Zhu Heng has never learned the art of governing a country, he is deeply aware of the subtleties of governing a country!

This is what you are born to know!

“Of course it’s a good thing.”Zhu Heng smiled slightly and said:”Once this policy is implemented, even if future emperors do not go to court for decades,”

“Under the management of the shopkeeper, Ming Dynasty can at least maintain its stability.……”

“This argument is novel, we need to think about it carefully……”

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly fell into deep thinking, but there was a huge surprise in his heart.

Zhu Heng’s idea is really groundbreaking.

The emperor is a single man, how can he be restricted by the people below him?

Including himself, every emperor wanted to take power away from his ministers.

But Zhu Heng’s words inspired him.

After the monarch centralizes power, he will have enough power to bring peace and prosperity to the people… but he will also have enough power to bring chaos to the world!

But after understanding this…

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and became more entangled than ever before:”But this will restrict the emperor’s power.……”

“What if, like the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were young sons taking charge of the country one after another, and the powerful ministers disrupted the government?”

At this time, Zhu Heng gave him a strange look and said:

“I said, why do you always think from the emperor’s point of view?”

“Can’t you think about it from the perspective of the common people?”
