Chapter 303: Zhu Yuanzhang Wants To Retire And Become Taishang Emperor [Please Subscribe, Please Sub
After listening to what Yan Changqing said about the advantages of the emperor's timely retirement system, Zhu Yuanzhang had to admit that he was moved.
Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards power was different from other emperors.
On the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang has a strong desire to control power. He cannot tolerate the power of the prime minister, or the power of ministers threatens his power as emperor!
Therefore, even though we knew that in the rebellion cases of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others, many ministers were actually innocent and were not involved.
However, due to various considerations, Zhu Yuanzhang finally involved him and found a reason to kill him.
But on the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang's attachment to power was actually not that deep!
Just like the Ming history joke circulated by Yan Changqing in his previous life:
"If Zhu Biao wants to rebel, Zhu Yuanzhang will immediately send all the civil and military ministers who can fight and work to assist Zhu Biao in the rebellion, and then order that anyone who resists Zhu Biao's rebellion will be killed by the nine tribes."
"Finally, open the palace gates and prepare the abdication edict, dragon robes, jade seals and other emperor's belongings to Zhu Biao in advance, so that Zhu Biao can ascend the throne as soon as possible!"
In terms of delegating power to his son, he even allowed his son to inherit his authority as emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very straightforward and straightforward, and would not say that he had the idea of clinging to power and not wanting to abdicate.
Because although Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, most of the time he still had the traditional and simple thinking of an old folk father.
That is, as Lao'zi, no matter how much family property I earn, it will eventually be handed over to my son!
As long as his son grows to a certain age, or his son's abilities meet his requirements, then he will pass all his family property to his son without hesitation!
As for this, Prince Zhu Biao originally shared the same political team with Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
And it turns out that the prince Zhu Biao can supervise the country and assist the government as the prince, which can be seen from the direct exercise of the power of the emperor.
The original prince Zhu Biao, except that he did not have the title of emperor, was really not much different from Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor in other aspects.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for other emperors to accept words like "the emperor retires in due course and becomes Emperor Taishang" that seems to deprive them of their emperor's rights.
Zhu Yuanzhang sounds relatively acceptable.
Moreover, as described by Yan Changqing, the emperor retired and became the Taishang Emperor, taking the queen mother and three or two little granddaughters to enjoy the happiness of family together.
Then go and take a look at the Ming Dynasty and the country that were under his rule, as well as the people under his rule who lived a happy and healthy retirement life.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, it is still very attractive.
It can even be said that just listening to Yan Changqing's description, such longing and expectation arose in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart!!!
Zhu Yuanzhang is a Liver Emperor, but that doesn't mean that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to relax.
It's just that he conquered the east and west, fought in the south and the north, and went through thousands of bloody battles for the rest of his life. It was not easy for him to build such an unprecedented family fortune with his background as a beggar and a refugee.
He was afraid that his family fortune would be ruined because of his lack of effort.
That's why he worked so hard and never dared to relax for a moment.
[Thinking about it this way, the emperor’s timely retirement system is indeed very good. 】
[After selecting a qualified or the best heir from Biao'er and the others, we can abdicate and become Taishang Emperor and have a good rest. 】
[Then I will take the girls and the others to take a good look at the Ming Dynasty and the country that we have conquered, and see if the people of all the people have enough food and clothing, and are happy and healthy under our governance.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang actually had the urge to retire and become the Taishang Emperor now.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and he couldn't help but sigh silently.
It's not time for him to retire yet, at least until the next generation of Ming Dynasty emperors who can take over his position is decided, Ming Dynasty still needs his support!
Then Zhu Yuanzhang thought again about what Yan Changqing had just said about selecting talents to succeed the throne through the method of sending princes to the county.
[Start step by step from local counties, prefectures, governments, and chief envoys for three years and five years respectively, and finally supervise the country and assist in government for ten years. 】
【From governing a county, to governing a state, then to governing a government, then to governing a chief secretary, and finally to supervising the country and assisting in government. 】
[Seeing the big from the small, as long as such a set of processes can be adhered to completely, then the specific operating model of this country from the central to the local governments will be achieved. 】
[And all kinds of situations, large and small, from the capital to the local prefectures and counties, will basically be clearly understood. 】
[At that time, whether it is the civil and military officials in the court or the local officials and subordinates, it will be impossible, if not impossible, to deceive the emperor who has experienced how to be a county magistrate, a prefecture magistrate, a prefect, and an envoy. . 】
[At the same time, the emperor, who has experience as a local magistrate, prefect, prefect, and chief envoy, can also pay more attention to people's livelihood and public opinion when handling national affairs and promulgating national policies, so that national affairs and national policies can be more beneficial to the country and the people!]
[And when processing memorials submitted by various localities, we can give review opinions that are more in line with the conditions of each state!]
[In addition, the most important thing is that it takes twenty-eight years to complete such a process of selecting talents and succession!!!]
[A prince who can persevere willingly and patiently may not be said to be very capable, but among the emperors, he is at least at a pass-to-good level. 】
[In addition, from the local to the central government, I have tempered my character for a full twenty-eight years. Not to mention other aspects, it is enough for the prince to be a successful king in the end. 】
After thinking carefully over and over again, Zhu Yuanzhang finally determined that the "Prince's Lower County" method of selecting the emperor given by Yan Changqing had no problems based on his knowledge and vision.
It should even be said that this method of selecting the emperor is the selection and succession system that truly plays the role of selection rules!!!
Because the "prince goes to the county" system of selecting talents and succession, as long as it can be implemented 100%.
Then at least we can guarantee that we will be able to produce a conservative king whose ability and character are at a qualified to good level!!!
If you meet a generation of princes whose ability and character are particularly outstanding.
Then maybe we can select a prince from among these outstanding princes who is expected to become the emperor of the ages.
By then, Daming will be making a fortune!!!
It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang could not be more satisfied with this heir system with a minimum guarantee and an extremely high upper limit.
Of course, this does not mean that this "Prince's County" selection and succession system is really perfect. If we really want to say that there are shortcomings, there are still some.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang is fifty-two years old this year, and he doesn't know if he still has twenty-eight years left.
It can be used to wait for the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes to complete the process of selecting and succeeding the princes in the county.
Another example is how to supervise and ensure that the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes govern a county, a state (Li Hao), a government, and a place of chief envoys.
There will be no help from other outside forces.
Another example is how to ensure the personal safety of Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes when they are in the county.
For another example, if the emperor dies suddenly during the selection process, which prince should be chosen to succeed him, etc.
These issues are all issues that need to be carefully considered and resolved.
However, even with these problems.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhu Yuanzhang will most likely adopt the selection method of "princes going to the county" mentioned by Yan Changqing as the standard for the selection process of the fee-based succession system.
Because the shortcomings are not hidden, the selection method of "princes going to the county" has indeed played the role of selecting the best from the best and the best from the best. It is also a way to truly select the best and most outstanding heirs for the Ming Dynasty!!!
