Zhu Qi never expected that Zhu Yuanzhang was also interested in the cabinet system. Logically speaking, did Zhu Yuanzhang want to monopolize the power and even abolish the prime minister system, and wanted to control the overall situation alone? Why were he interested in the cabinet system?

But if you think about it carefully, this cabinet system was at the beginning of creation.

Isn’t it just for the emperor to monopolize privileges?

The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet under his command gave advice, and then the emperor wrote the imperial edict and stamped it.

These cabinet ministers have no right to order other ministers to do anything, and their status is only equivalent to that of the emperor's secretary.

Zhu Qi had already made the cabinet system very clear, so Zhu Yuanzhang could naturally understand it.

It is natural to be interested in such a system.

After all, although Zhu Yuanzhang was very confident in his Ming Dynasty,

But it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no foolish king afterwards.

Don’t look at Zhu Yuanzhang’s beating Lu Chang’s board before,

But after listening to Lu Chang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed thinking about this issue.

After the abolition of the prime minister system, if there is a foolish king in the funeral, it will definitely be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty.

However, now that he knew that there was a cabinet system, Zhu Yuanzhang saw a new path and method, that is, to form a cabinet.

Even if the emperor is stupid, there are ministers under his command who can help with advice, so there will be no one who can make suggestions in the end.

Zhu Qi never expected that Lu Chang would actually say his words to Zhu Yuanzhang. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has arrested a strong man, he wants to talk about the cabinet system himself.

And while the two of them were talking about the cabinet system here, the court was still in an earthquake because the prime minister system was abolished.

Hu Weiyong's gangs were almost everywhere in half of the court, and they were unable to protect themselves at this time.

Naturally, there will be no objection to Zhu Yuanzhang's abolition of the prime minister system.

There are not many officials who dare to speak out like Lu Chang. In the past few days, only two or three officials have written to Zhu Yuanzhang.

but,

Zhu Yuanzhang returned the memorials,

And he scolded him angrily.

The fate of Lu Chang is still in front of everyone, so naturally no one will jump out like Lu Chang and firmly oppose the abolition of the prime minister system.

What's more, even Lu Chang is not talking anymore.

However, while these court officials were frightened, they were also worried about the future of themselves and the Ming court.

The highest goal of these civil officials is to become prime ministers.

Now, the prime minister system is to be abolished, and the three provinces are also to be abolished, and only six ministries will be left in the future.

These six ministers are incomparable to the previous prime ministers, regardless of their rank or position.

On the other hand, the trial of Hu Weiyong has almost ended.

Hu Weiyong's fate was not as tragic as in history. He was directly tied to the suburbs and was so itchy.

After all, there is a way of dying about Hu Weiyong being itchy, which is just a folk legend.

However, in the true history of the Ming Dynasty, there is no detailed record of how Hu Weiyong died, and only said that after Hu Weiyong broke the law,

He was killed.

Just a few simple words,

So the people behind began to think of Hu Weiyong's strange way of death.

The people hate the most about corrupt officials like Hu Weiyong who were exterminated as villains.

Naturally, they imagined them dying in all kinds of miserable and strange ways.

In fact,

Hu Weiyong hanged himself to death as Zhu Qi learned.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was not so arrogant in his work, and only Hu Weiyong was punished. As for Hu Weiyong's family, there was nothing serious.

As the rumors say, Hu Weiyong invited Zhu Yuanzhang to his home as a guest, intending to set up an ambush at home and assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang himself to be the emperor, naturally, it did not exist.

Let’s not talk about the various loopholes in this legend. Even if Hu Weiyong wants to kill Zhu Yuanzhang, he would not be able to use such a stupid way.

What's more, even if he killed Zhu Yuanzhang, he would never be able to become an emperor.

He was just a civil servant and had no soldiers in his hands. After all, the world belonged to the Zhu family.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao is already an adult and has a prestige in the court. Even if it is his turn, it will not be his Hu Weiyong's turn.

Therefore, Hu Weiyong did not die of rebellion, but died under his arrogance and ass. This one is called the Prime Minister's bench.

Hu Weiyong's execution was not very powerful. Just Zhu Yuanzhang hanged Hu Weiyong in prison with a big stroke.

Not only did he leave a whole body, but his family also asked his family to take the corpse back. Compared with those corrupt officials who were peeled and cramped, this result was quite kind.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was so kind to Hu Weiyong was naturally because Hu Weiyong did not harass the people on his daily basis.

It's just for the sake of one's own power, to win over the parties and disrupt the court.

After Hu Weiyong was executed and the prime minister system was officially abolished, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry and directly established a cabinet system.

After all, a new system cannot be accomplished from the emergence of conception to the implementation of it in two or three days. There are also hidden dangers in it, and Zhu Yuanzhang must think clearly.

But this is not Zhu Qi's business.

Because this time, Zhu Qi was indeed going to Liaodong to become a vassal.

———————

April, the eleventh year of Hongwu.

Two months passed in a flash, and the weather in Yingtian Mansion became hotter and hotter. Zhu Qi had already changed into thin clothes.

The youngest son in his arms was wearing a silk dress and could already run around steadily.

After four months of getting along, Zhu Qi finally established a bond relationship with his youngest son.

For his youngest son who was just over one year old, Zhu Qi also tried his best to customize an enlightenment education plan for him that was far beyond that of this era.

Not only do I personally make cards of various colors, but I also have graphics, such as square triangle diamonds, etc.

These are all things that children need to use for enlightenment. They hold these cards every day to let the youngest son get familiar with and get to know each other slowly.

In addition, he was taking him around the imperial garden of the palace to see flowers and birds, and he was also close to nature.

As for taking it outside the palace, there is actually no need. First of all, it is safety issues, and secondly, it is unhygienic.

Although Yingtian Prefecture is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the sanitary environment in the city is much worse than that in the modern or imperial palace where Zhu Qi lived in his previous life.

There is no modern sewer system these days, although there is already an ancient drainage system.

However, this kind of drainage system is quite simple, and it usually relies on things like open-air drainage channels on the street, but there are no underground sewers.

Most of the water or sewage discharge used by the people in daily life are sprinkled directly onto the ground or poured into the Qinhuai River.

Moreover, these sewages have not been processed at all. It is conceivable how worrying the sanitation is.

But if you want to change the hygiene situation and the appearance of the city in the Ming Dynasty, it is not something that Zhu Qi could do just by thinking about.

After all, this requires professional knowledge and technology, and Zhu Qike does not have such ability.

He has never read a book related to it. Even though he has superhuman memories, he cannot create it out of thin air.

Zhu Qi was playing in the hall with his youngest son, and Gao Jin outside quickly walked over.

Zhu Qi winked at Xu Miaoyun next to him, and led her youngest son to the palace behind.

Zhu Qi tidied up his clothes, then walked out to face Gao Jin, and Zhu Qi asked:

"Are the chariots and horses ready?"

Gao Jin nodded and bowed and said:

"We are all ready to go back to His Highness, and we can set off at any time. His Highness the Crown Prince has also arranged 500 personal guards to escort His Highness to Liaodong."

Zhu Qi nodded. He was about to make sure that he was about to set off for Liaodong. Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that he could stay in Yingtian Mansion for a while.

But I have already said some time ago that Zhu Qi will go to Liaodong to become a vassal.

If he regrets this at this time, it will probably make the court officials worried. Although he is very relieved about his sons, Zhu Biao's position as the prince will never be shaken.

Not only that, his plan for King Se also required Zhu Qi to go to Liaodong to guard the border.

Liaodong has just been fighting for not long. Although Lan Yu has been operating there for more than a year, it is not so certain to say that it is completely stable.

As a prince with outstanding military achievements, Zhu Qi naturally had to serve as a soldier.

In addition, Zhu Qi wanted to take the Jinyiwei to Liaodong to establish an intelligence system to inquire about the situation of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

In addition, a new tariff department was established. The tariff departments in Yunnan and Guangdong and Guangxi have already made Zhu Yuanzhang taste the sweetness.

Although the taxation in this pilot project is not particularly large, it only takes only one pass to collect so much money.
