An inventory of the sinners who have subjugated the country in the past dynasties, Lao Zhu’s number

Song

"Zhu Di was considered a talented and strategic emperor, so why did he have a soft spot for eunuchs?"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head with a little regret and said:

"The rebellion of the Shichangshi in the Han Dynasty and the eunuchs' manipulation of power in the Tang Dynasty, which one is not a lesson learned from the past?"

"There are so many literati in the world, wouldn’t it be possible to just find a few and rely on them as your confidants?"

"These literati are powerless and cannot rebel? What's the threat?"

Zhao Guangyi on one side curled his lips and expressed great disdain.

As an eldest brother, he may be very good at fighting, but when it comes to governing the country, he is simply not qualified.

Literary men are indeed powerless, but if they really want to play tricks, These emperors may not be able to control these literati.

What's even more frightening is that the literati are always bad at swearing, and they may not be enough to achieve success, but they are more than enough for bad things. Zhao Guangyi thought of this, and thought of his talent, but only Being able to succumb to Zhao Kuangyin, a reckless man, couldn't help but feel very unwilling.

After a few vague glances at Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi gradually began to make plans in his mind.

【Taking stock of Zhu Di’s four reasons for subjugating the country and establishing a cabinet】

【The cabinet is not a new institution. In fact, the cabinet had already appeared during the Hongwu period. However, the cabinet at that time was more like an advisory body.】

【Although Zhu Yuanzhang is a good 24 emperor, this does not mean that he knows everything. Sometimes when encountering unknown things or areas, Zhu Yuanzhang still needs to consult others.】

【In order to facilitate consultation at any time, Zhu Yuanzhang established a cabinet】

【Zhu Di carried forward the cabinet and officially made it stand on the court, but he never dreamed that decades later, it would grow into a terrifying behemoth, big enough to threaten the emperor's status and power.】

【In the early years of Yongle, Zhu Di, who was almost exhausted by political affairs, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He finally understood why his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, was so tired every day, and also understood that being an emperor was such a painful thing.】

【Even if I try my best to work day and night, it is still difficult to complete all the government affairs】

【In order to relieve his own pressure, Zhu Di had to order Xie Jin and other seven people to be Grand Bachelors of the Imperial Palace to participate in aircraft maintenance.】

【These seven people formed the first cabinet of the Ming Dynasty. From then on, Zhu Di had to discuss all matters such as war, employment, and even the establishment of a prince before making decisions with these seven people. His powers and responsibilities are not insignificant.】

【However, although these people have great power, their official positions are only fifth-rank officials. You must know that the six ministers at that time had official positions of second-rank officials.】

【In fact, all of this was carefully set up by Zhu Di. Although he delegated power to the cabinet, he also understood that the cabinet might be too powerful in the future.】

【In order to prevent the seven people in the cabinet from becoming too powerful, he deliberately lowered the ranks of these so-called cabinet members. He seemed to think that in this way he could effectively control the cabinet.】

【But later facts proved that he was wrong】

【No one could have imagined that this small, inconspicuous organization would eventually become the centerpiece of the Ming Empire's rule. A cabinet minister with only a fifth-rank official position at that time would become the leader of hundreds of officials. What's even more unbelievable is that the organization's The vitality will actually be longer than that of the Ming Dynasty!】

【The cabinet turned from an institution into a system, which continued for the next five hundred years. Even after the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet was still used.】

【And this institution will also play an important role in the three hundred years of Ming Dynasty. Countless loyal, traitorous, and rebellious ministers will express their lives on this stage.】

【During the Yongle period, the cabinet system did play a certain supporting role. It can be said that it was precisely because of the existence of the cabinet that the Yongle era of the Ming Dynasty was so prosperous.】

【All this has to do with Zhu Di's vision. Like his father Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di is indeed unique in knowing and employing people.】

【And the seven cabinet bachelors he selected were all outstanding, among whom San Yang was the most famous.】

【They are real political talents. Since all three of them have the surname Yang, they are called San Yang.】

【They were the most outstanding figures of that era, and each had their own specialties. Not only were they capable, but they were also scheming. They had survived four dynasties and remained undefeated. They were truly miraculous people.】

【The head of the Three Yangs is Yang Shiqi. This legendary civil servant was active in the four dynasties, controlled the government, and was extremely prosperous. He made great contributions to the Yongle era and the subsequent Renxuan rule.】

【In the twenty-fifth year of the Zhi Zheng Dynasty, Yang Shiqi was born in Yuanzhou. It was the time of Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion. There were wars everywhere and the people were in dire straits. In order to avoid famine, Yang Shiqi's parents took him around and lived a very hard life.】

【When Yang Shiqi was one and a half years old, his father Yang Mei passed away in troubled times, leaving only orphans and widowed mothers to depend on each other.】

【Yang Shiqi's mother is a very far-sighted person. Even when she was wandering around, she never forgot to do one thing, teach Yang Shiqi to read.】

【During those war-torn years, she discarded a lot of luggage, but she always carried a book, University】

【Reading requires talent, and Yang Shiqi is very talented. But studying also requires another more important thing, and that is money.】

【Of course, Yang Shiqi had no money, so he couldn't go to private school, and he couldn't get any honors because the imperial examination couldn't just go to college.】

【However, Yang Shiqi soon ushered in a turning point in his life. In the fourth year of Hongwu, Yang Shiqi's mother remarried. From then on, Yang Shiqi had a stepfather, a serious and stern stepfather.】

【This stepfather’s name is Luo Xing, who is also Yang Shiqi’s teacher.】

【Luo Xing, whose courtesy name is Zili. In fact, he was not an ordinary person. He was born into a noble family and was already a famous celebrity at that time. He also held an official position and had an upright personality, but he was arrogant and looked down upon others.】

【Luo Xing was a very stern and aloof man, and he didn't have a good look at this child who came into the house with his new wife but was not a blood relative of his.】

【Not long after Yang Shiqi entered the Luo family, he was forced to change his surname to Luo. Although his name was changed, Yang Shiqi began to read and write, and studied the Four Books and Five Classics.】

【Two years later, Yang Shiqi, who was only eight years old, made an amazing move that changed his life situation. 】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

【In the sixth year of Hongwu, the Luo family held a ceremony to worship their ancestors. Yang Shiqi, who was still a child, was touched. He thought of his late father and his wandering life. He also wanted to worship his father and relatives.】

【But how could the Luo family's ancestral hall have the place for the ancestors of the Yang family? Yang Shiqi could only pick up clods of soil from outside and make it look like a god. He found a corner where no one was paying attention and solemnly knelt down and saluted his deceased father.】

【His behavior that he thought was secretive was noticed by a person. This person was none other than Luo Xing.】

【But Luo Xing did not blame Yang Shiqi. Instead, he felt that Yang Shiqi was a talent. Luo Xing found Yang Shiqi and told him that from now on, he would restore his surname of Yang and no longer follow his own surname of Luo.】

【Yang Shiqi thought that Luo Xing was going to kick him out, and panicked, but Luo Xing told him that if you stay under the influence of others without sacrificing your ambitions, and if you don't forget your ancestors, you will become a great person in the future!】

【From then on, Luo Xing began to take a special look at Yang Shiqi and made great efforts to train him and provide him with education.】

【If things go as smoothly as this, Yang Shiqi may take the imperial examination in the future and then become an official in the court, benefiting one party】

【But fate plays tricks on people. In just one year, Luo Xing was demoted to a distant place due to his crime. The lives of Yang Shiqi and his mother were once again in trouble.】.......The dividing line..
