Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, struggled from a beggar to an emperor. After struggling for decades, he finally achieved the supreme position.
But just because it was so difficult, Zhu Yuanzhang was very fond of power and would not allow anyone to share his power.
Later, with the help of the "Hu Weiyong Case", the "prime minister system" that had been passed down for thousands of years was directly abolished. From then on, power was concentrated in the emperor.
But with great power, the responsibilities also increased, and all affairs in the world were decided by the emperor alone.
The huge and heavy workload is enough to make anyone collapse!
Zhu Yuanzhang was in good health and could still hold on, but his descendants did not have such good physical strength!
When Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was on the throne, the emperor knew how to fight all day long, but he was not willing to deal with official affairs all day long, so he developed a "cabinet system" to help him handle heavy official affairs.
The number of assistant ministers in the cabinet ranges from one to seven. The assistant ministers often call themselves cabinet ministers when they go out to work on envoys.
At the beginning, the cabinet was just an advisory body for the emperor. The cabinet bachelors seemed to have great reputations, but in fact they had no power.
But with the death of Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and the succession of Ming Renzong, this dear friend was a short-lived emperor. He only became emperor for less than a year before he went to play chess with his father Zhu Di.
Ming Renzong was not in good health before he became emperor. After becoming emperor, he faced so many official duties that he almost fell down.
Since the emperor can¡¯t do anything, it¡¯s natural to let those who can do the job. The power in the hands of the cabinet expands little by little, and the emperor becomes a mascot! Until Ming Xuanzong succeeded to the throne!
The young emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty did not have the ability to control his ministers like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. In order to check and balance the "cabinet", he began to support the eunuch group and balance the power of both parties.
The chief minister of the cabinet has the power to vote, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty gave the eunuchs the right to deliver red papers.
The powers of the Shofu Grand Scholar are the same as those of the previous prime ministers, but they must cooperate with the eunuchs in order to be able to control major affairs. The emperor is superior and balances the power of both parties.
But this balance is fragile, because once a chief minister of the cabinet cooperates with the eunuch, he can control the power and evade the emperor!
Just like Zhang Juzheng in later generations!
But now Zhang Juzheng, probably his grandfather has not even been born yet!
The emperor, the cabinet and the eunuch group, the three parties have been tug-of-war with each other for decades since Ming Xuanzong. It was not until the late Emperor Ming Xiaozong Hongzhi that some changes took place!
Emperor Hongzhi was a benevolent monarch. He worked diligently and loved the people throughout his life. He appointed wise ministers and was the master of ZTE.
"It is a pity that Emperor Hongzhi was too lenient and indirectly allowed the expansion of cabinet power. In his later years, the cabinet's power was too heavy and it was difficult to recover.
When the throne was handed over to Emperor Zhengde, the little emperor discovered that it didn't matter whether he or she was in the world. The cabinet had the final say on all the big and small things in the world. If there was any problem, it would be decided by the "Iron-Courage God Marquis". ¡±Zhu ignored the problem and helped solve it.
The emperor has completely become a mascot, and the only role of Emperor Zhengde seems to be to stamp the imperial edict.
But this little bit of power is actually the job of the eunuch, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony!
After Emperor Zhengde succeeded to the throne, he discovered that there were three big mountains above his head!
The first one is the cabinet, the second one is the brave god Hou Zhuwu, and the last one is the mother of Emperor Zhengde, the Queen Mother!
It's funny to say that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that his relatives' group would grow bigger, so he established an ancestral motto that the children of the royal family were not allowed to marry into the aristocratic families. Therefore, except for Zhu Di, the queens of the later emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all born in small families. Xiaojiabiyu.
But when Emperor Hongzhi succeeded to the throne, this phenomenon changed a little bit!
Emperor Hongzhi was not a womanizer. He only had one woman in his life, Queen Zhang. He truly accomplished something that no one in the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors has accomplished until now.
As an emperor, there is only one woman, the queen, who truly adheres to the monogamy system to the end. Throughout the ages, only Emperor Hongzhi is the only one!
Sometimes it is not a good thing for an emperor to be lecherous.
First, there was little choice of heirs. When Emperor Hongzhi died, he only had one son, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao. Unfortunately, this son was not fertile. Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi's line was about to be extinct, it also gave Zhu the opportunity to inherit the throne. .
Secondly, there is only one queen in the harem. The queen¡¯s status is certainly stable, but the strength of the relatives¡¯ group has also skyrocketed because no one can compete with it!
The rise of the Queen Mother¡¯s family has created a situation of confrontation between the cabinet and the eunuch group above the court.?Slowly developed into a struggle between the three major groups: the cabinet, the eunuchs, and the relatives!
To be honest, Lin Li still admires the little emperor Zhengde. A fifteen-year-old child can still secure the throne in the face of all the old foxes in the dynasty. His political talent is evident.
If Emperor Zhengde had not been destined to have no sons, Lin Li would not have thought of seizing the throne!
The biggest obstacle for Lin Li to seize the throne now is the cabinet. To be precise, it is the courtiers headed by Li Dongyang, the chief minister of the cabinet!
Li Dongyang is the minister of Gu Ming left to Zhengde by Emperor Hongzhi. He is quite loyal to the royal family, but unfortunately he has always been wary of Zhu Wuli.
" However, Li Dongyang is old and has only a few good years to live, so Lin Li doesn't worry much about him. The real power is Yang Tinghe, the second minister in the cabinet.
Yang Tinghe was the teacher of Emperor Zhengde and a staunch supporter of the royal family.
??History, it was Yang Tinghe who supported Emperor Jiajing to ascend the throne after the death of Emperor Zhengde. He was an absolutely ruthless character.
If Lin Li wants to sit on the throne, the first person he has to deal with is Yang Tinghe.
But this deputy minister of the cabinet is very difficult to deal with. Not only is he incompetent, but his personal ability is second to none in the entire Ming Dynasty!
Lin Li has sent a large number of spies to monitor Yang Tinghe, trying to find his flaws, but unfortunately nothing has been found so far!
On the contrary, during the investigation of Yang Tinghe, Lin Li discovered that he had close contacts with "Xingwang" Zhu Youqi, but there was no illegal behavior in private. It seemed that the two were just ordinary contacts between friends.
"Prince Xing" is the younger brother of Zhu Wuwu, and the Jiajing Emperor in later generations is the second son of Prince Xing!
After the death of Emperor Zhengde, Yang Tinghe chose Jiajing to succeed him, which seems to be not without reason.
Even the death of Emperor Zhengde may be a conspiracy!
"Historically, Emperor Zhengde's death has always been an unsolved mystery in history. There may be a terrible political conspiracy behind it, but Lin Li still doesn't know.
To settle the cards in his hand, Lin Li firstly did not have the support of the Queen Mother, secondly he was not favored by the cabinet, and thirdly, he had no heirs.
From this point of view, he is indeed not an ideal heir to the throne!
But Lin Li also has advantages. First, Zhu has pretended to be loyal and patriotic over the years, and has an excellent reputation and is deeply loved by the people.
The second is that "Dragon Protector Villa" controls the ten frontier generals. It is a force that cannot be underestimated at critical moments.
Third, Zhu Wuli¡¯s bloodline is closest to that of Emperor Zhengde. Once Zhengde dies and has no heirs, Lin Li will be the first in line to succeed him.
So to sum up, Lin Li is not without hope, and even has great hope.
Lin Li is not one to sit back and wait for death. He has already planned everything, starting with eradicating Cao Zhengchun!
The first step is to use the ancient three links to eradicate Cao Zhengchun! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
