Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 214 Who Wants to Harm Me

The night was deeper.

Prime Minister Hu Weiyong hammered his waist and slowly lagged among the crowd to leave the palace and go home.

Even though he was younger than Zhu Yuanzhang, he felt that he was getting old very quickly after working long and intensively, and his performance on the bed also seemed a little inadequate.

He really didn't know where Zhu Yuanzhang got so much energy.

In particular, Hu Weiyong knew that he still had right-hand men and women to assist him in handling various government affairs.

But Zhu Yuanzhang handled all the memorials by himself, and even selected many to teach the prince how to handle them.

This workload alone is not something that ordinary people can withstand day after day!

With such a heavy workload, Hu Weiyong did not look at everything in detail. He also had to spare time and energy to focus on party formation.

At this point, Hu Weiyong still felt powerless from time to time. He felt that the people under him had their own ideas and had to give them a beating from time to time.

Chen Ning whispered his guess at the side. It was probably the prince who came out of the room of the Minister of Industry. The father and son murmured for a while and then called everyone to come to the meeting.

Chen Ning didn't ask any more questions, just nodded slightly.

"Dad, if a policy of the imperial court can be promulgated, more and more patches will be needed!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang was lying on the bed and retreated from the people around him, he said directly:

"That's all, let's find out more about Zhao Xingsheng." Hu Weiyong whispered.

Zhu Yuanzhang, served by the eunuchs, walked to Queen Ma's palace.

After hearing this, Hu Weiyong did not understand the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Wang Buli.

Of course, this also made Zhu Yuanzhang discover that Wang Buli was the best at exploiting loopholes. Otherwise, why would he be able to see many loopholes in the rules at a glance?

The emperor is also an administrative official who needs to govern on a daily basis to decide and promote the system of managing general affairs.

While he was alive, he would also forcefully restrain all the subjects under his rule.

If such a link is missing, then a "Ping Dynasty" will inevitably appear to exercise this power on the emperor's behalf.

Is it possible that His Majesty is secretly telling Wang Buli what to do?

Today I have something on my heart that I want to talk to my girl about.

Therefore, Ming Taizu instituted many strict stripe laws to bind all his descendants.

It turns out that this is where he got angry!

Since Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, he was afraid that he could not handle it well and ruin the empire he created with his own hands.

That is to say, our good son-in-law Wang Buli dares to speak out!

Zhu Biao didn't understand why his father answered the wrong questions and looked suspicious.

It was obvious that the two people met and chatted frequently behind the scenes, but in public, they pretended not to know each other.

It turns out that many people have tried their best to find loopholes in the policies we have set.

Zhu Yuanzhang also thought of Wang Buli, who was familiar with the Ming Dynasty laws and regulations, and was very angry that he had killed so many officials in the empty seal case without following the Ming Dynasty laws.

The administrative governance of the Ming Dynasty was a huge undertaking.

However, Xue Xiang, Qian and Tang were not surprised by the emperor's question, which proved that Wang Buli was behind this matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang was drinking meat porridge in the main hall. The discussion lasted until eleven o'clock in the evening but no result was reached.

From the appointment of thousands of civil and military officials at all levels to the revision of comprehensive or minor policies, he has to oversee everything.

"Sister, do you think we are talented and strategic people?"

Because he was really thinking all the time, and arguing and discussing with his ministers, his head was buzzing.

Zhu Biao responded, quickly finished the meat porridge, and went back to rest.

To be honest, not only Hu Weiyong, but also Chen Ning have been thinking, why are they going in circles?

The emperor is the keystone of the power structure. Without him, the power of the government cannot function.

He was very disappointed.

Queen Ma was already sleeping in bed because she didn't think her husband would come to her at this time.

"Tomorrow you go find our good son-in-law and ask him if he has any solutions?"

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang come back to his senses and couldn't help but chuckle:

"Okay, okay, everyone is playing tricks on me, right?"

"it is good."

When Zhu Yuanzhang asked this, he was actually sure of it in his heart.

Not only that, but I also feel that I am omnipotent.

Are the father-in-law and son-in-law secretly competing with each other?

The two sides did not talk directly, but instead let the prince act as the messenger, and then the two of them fought in the air.

Zhu Biao was also very tired.

For so many years, no one dared to report to me that a certain policy was not reasonable enough.

But hidden behind this system was the unrealistic idea that the emperor could make shrewd decisions on a wide range of matters across the country.

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped drinking porridge and nodded slightly, hoping that corrupt officials would not be killed.

In most cases, he only reviewed the list of candidate officials initially drawn up by the Ministry of Personnel, or made some minor changes in the memorials that required his "agree" and affixed imperial seal.

However, without this imperial seal, nothing can be done.

No officials could be appointed, and in all important matters, ministers expected him, the emperor, to give a comprehensive analysis and make their own judgments.

Regarding the matter of covering the Yuxi, Zhu Yuanzhang would never let anyone else do it, not even his son Zhu Biao.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang said that his son's status as prince was very stable, there were some things that could not be overstepped.

"Of course it is."

After hearing Queen Ma's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and said:

"Sister, we discovered that our role as emperor is not as omnipotent as we imagined!"

Zhu Yuanzhang would not say this in front of others.

Queen Ma also turned her head to look at her husband in the darkness and said comfortingly:

"There is no almighty person in the world. Even Wang Buli, who was lucky enough to enter the fairyland, is just smarter in some things."

If this kind of remonstrance is given to others, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely blow his beard and stare at him. You are old enough to judge me?

Pull him out first and beat you!

That's it, you still have to say that I did a good job.

Now it was his beloved wife who said it, and Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed slightly:

"I really want to make progress, and I really want Ming Dynasty to get better and better."

That's why Zhu Yuanzhang always planned to abolish the prime minister system.

Because the jealous Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that his advisers and senior administrative officials would form cliques, distort government orders for personal gain, and even engage in naked usurpation activities.

Especially if he loosened his grip a little, Hu Weiyong and others really dared to form a large-scale party. How could Zhu Yuanzhang be insensitive and worried?

Today, listening to Wang Buli find so many loopholes in the policy he just formulated made him afraid to think about the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also afraid that the scholar-bureaucrats, as lower-level local officials, would abuse their power.

Now, Wang Buli taught him a hard lesson.

Not only to prevent high-ranking ministers from colluding to usurp power, but also to prevent low-level officials from tyrannizing the people, putting all the blame on him, the emperor, and then all rebelling and overthrowing the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to set up social studies in the countryside, besides wanting to change the social conditions in the countryside, was that he did not want the ignorant villagers to be deceived by the officials and directly coerced into rebellion.

In other words, he shrewdly believed that even the people in the countryside would abide by the law, so that they would be in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

But he was punched head-on by Wang Buli, which made him very confused.

Those Yanguan censors who were supported by him mostly attacked other officials.

There was not much advice on policy, which was the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang broke through the defense.

I have raised so many people and spent so much money for so many years, but it has all been in vain, right?

"Chong Ba, haste makes waste."

Queen Ma patted his arm in the darkness:

"Take your time, there is still a lot of time."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very distrustful of the bureaucracy, but when establishing the government, he could only rely on the services of those scholars who claimed to believe in Confucianism.

Because this theory is very consistent with the emperor's rule.

The contradiction is that on the one hand, he admits that it is a necessary condition for governing the world, but on the other hand, he deeply doubts its consequences.

Zhu Yuanzhang kept his officials in constant fear, whether they were the current inspectors or the future imperial guards.

Now he is using Hu Weiyong to attract these disloyal officials, and then wait for an opportunity to kill them in one fell swoop.

"Time!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also reached out and patted his wife on the back: "We really hope that time can go slower, so that we can see more clearly."

When I was young, I longed to grow up so that I would have strength and not have to worry about being hungry.

But when he grew up and had a bigger career, he wanted to refute his childhood ideas. He always had a sense of urgency and wanted to do more things.

"You are still young." Queen Ma said with a slight smile on her lips:

"Besides, Biao'er is still young, and you still have to support him for a long time. Don't take everything on yourself in the future.

I think the son-in-law is right. Since he has spent money, he should allocate all the things to the ministers below to prevent them from getting their salary in vain. "

Lao Zhu was at the pinnacle of personal pursuits in his life, but he did encounter three major tragedies in life: losing his father when he was young, losing his wife in middle age, and losing his son in old age.

Of course, it also shows from the side that Chongba has a kind heart, and he doesn't want others to lose their father, wife, and son in turn like him, so he usually lets other people's three tribes and nine tribes go down together to accompany him.

The whole family is neatly arranged, and they are not alone anymore, which is extremely considerate.

It can be called a Zhu Dashan!

All this made him worry about the rapid loss of time.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to tell his inner sorrow to his sister, because there was nothing she could do about it, and she would probably be worried and unable to sleep at night.

So Zhu Yuanzhang followed his wife's words and said:

"I want them to do it, but they are all freeloaders. They can't do any work well. They always want to make money from it."

Zhu Yuanzhang held his wife's hand and said, "I'm not worried."

Empress Ma advised Zhu Yuanzhang to decentralize his powers a little, but Zhu Yuanzhang originally planned to further centralize the imperial power and weaken the power of ministers, so how could he continue to make concessions?

The couple's conversation ended just like that.

Wang Buli was lying on the bed. Since the heavy rain, the weather had become cooler and it was more comfortable without air conditioning.

The peaceful life he had imagined did not come true. Somehow, Mr. Zhu took a liking to him and wanted to choose him as his son-in-law.

Especially as the wedding date is getting closer and closer, this incident makes Wang Buli feel that it is really a trick of fate.

Because after searching, he found out that Lao Zhu's eldest daughter was not married to a man named Wang Buli at all, but to Mei Yin, a concubine of the Marquis of Runan.

The only thing they have in common is that they are both liked by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the father-in-law becomes more and more satisfied with him.
