Zhu Houzhao¡¯s words expressed his thoughts during the three years since he ascended the throne.
The emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty are not like monarchs and ministers. Their relationship is more like a business partner. The emperor is the chairman, but the company does not belong to him alone. Other ministers also occupy shares. The company can only be handed over to professional equivalents. The cabinet as a manager operates the business, and the cabinet guarantees annual profits. The premise is that the chairman must be obedient. Therefore, as the chairman, you cannot make arbitrary decisions on the company's operations. Of course, the naming rights and ownership of the company belong to the chairman. Everyone is working for the chairman, and the chairman may not have the rest of the rights. If the chairman interferes indiscriminately and issues orders at will, it may cause a fierce backlash from all shareholders.
To put it bluntly, this is what the Ming Dynasty Hall is all about.
After three years as emperor, Zhu Houzhao gradually understood his status, but he was very unwilling to do so.
Today¡¯s meeting was not only about Qin Kan¡¯s promotion to the nobility, but also about Zhu Houzhao¡¯s struggle for himself.
He doesn¡¯t want to be imprisoned in a deep palace like a pig. He wants to go out for a walk, personally visit every inch of his land, and see with his own eyes every subject who surrenders to him.
It's just that he doesn't understand why today's monarchy has become so weak, and when did the ministerial power begin to override the monarchy. In ancient times, it was said that "in the whole world, is it the king's land, and on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers", this sentence In today's Ming Dynasty, who is the "king"? Who is the "minister"?
The struggle for power between emperors and ministers has lasted for hundreds of years, and each has its own victory and glory. However, these problems are not something that Zhu Houzhao can solve alone. He is an emperor, but he is a very weak emperor.
The Golden Palace was very quiet, and the monarch and his ministers were silent for a long time.
Yang Tinghe sighed: "Your Majesty, co-governance by kings and ministers is a law passed down from our ancestors. No one of the courtiers standing in the palace today will be above the power of the king. The old minister believes that no matter whether the king or the ministers, the power should be restricted, and there are restrictions. Only then will they not be indulgent, and the country and the country will not lose control. The same is true for the ministerial power. It is precisely because the ministers have no selfish motives and are willing to restrict the ministerial power. Therefore, the ministers of the past dynasties will acquiesce in the existence of Jinyiwei and Dongchang and Xichang. Your Majesty, no one in this world can do as he pleases, not even the emperor!"
Looking up at the sad Zhu Houzhao on the dragon chair, Yang Tinghe's tone was still as firm as when Chunfang taught.
"So your Majesty should not abuse the imperial edict. The imperial edict is equivalent to the monarch's power. The monarch's power can be used, but cannot be abused. Yesterday, your majesty created more than 20 princes for no reason, which is obviously abusing the monarch's power. Your majesty's move is tantamount to damaging the emperor's authority. Minister When they see this, they are all filled with chills and fear. I ask Your Majesty to take back the imperial edict!"
More than 20 ministers in the palace knelt down at the same time, each took out a piece of yellow silk paper from their arms and raised it above their heads, saying in unison: "I can't bear the title given by you. I ask your majesty to take back the imperial edict."
More than twenty hands each held the imperial edict, but everyone had different feelings in their hearts.
No matter whether you are an official or a military general, who doesn¡¯t hope that you can be promoted to an official position and be blessed with descendants? Even though they knew that the emperor was fooling around, the moment the decree was announced yesterday, many people's hearts still skipped two beats.
How I wish this imperial edict was true
Zhu Houzhao sniffed and smiled bitterly.
He just expressed a complaint that had been deep in his heart for a long time. In fact, he himself knew very well that the contradiction between the monarch and his ministers could never be resolved or eliminated, even if all the ministers in the palace were killed and replaced with a group of obedient ministers. When he governs the country, conflicts still exist, and they will only become more intense.
Since it can¡¯t be solved, then let¡¯s deal with them.
After all, it was a boyish temperament. Zhu Houzhao, who was still frustrated and sad just now, suddenly changed his face to a smile. The unhappiness just now seemed to have disappeared. Only the occasional flash of his eyes revealed the helplessness deep in his heart.
"I can't bear the title given by you, huh? Good reason." Zhu Houzhao smiled lightly.
Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "If you have made mistakes, please correct them. Your Majesty is still wise. I sincerely ask your Majesty to take back the imperial edict. Yesterday's ridiculous thing will be treated as if it never happened. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Academician Yang, who had always had a strong temper, said this, which was extremely humble and forbearing. Now he just wanted to end this absurd farce quickly, but he did not dare to reprimand Zhu Houzhao for the harsh words he just said. The grumbling made him feel that the young emperor's character was gradually maturing. What happened yesterday seemed absurd at first glance, but it was actually a protest against the king's weak power. If he reprimanded him again, he would probably be completely irritated. At that time, he was full of anger. It will not end well for Chao Wenwu.
Zhu Houzhao didn't even look at the more than 20 ministers kneeling in the center of the hall, but looked sideways at Yang Tinghe.
 nbsp;This is no longer nonsense, this is the will of Zhu Houzhao, the will of the current emperor!
The young emperor has grown up, and he has something he must insist on, and this time he is not going to compromise.
As a former imperial master, Yang Tinghe seemed to have discovered that this young emperor had such a stubborn side only today.
The three of them looked uncertain and hesitated for a moment. Yang Tinghe stamped his feet, pointed at the little eunuch running away in front of him, and said to the ministers behind him: "You guys, hurry up and stop them! The three of us will go to the palace to meet you!"
The courtiers were divided into birds and beasts.
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡
In front of the Jinshen Hall, three cabinet ministers knelt dejectedly outside the high threshold and sang in unison.
"I respectfully invite your Majesty to be promoted to the title of Marquis of Shanyin."
