Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1812 Qianqiu alone

   People who can still bear Zhu Houzhao must have a strong psychological quality.

  Although Fang Jifan complained in his heart, he kept a smile on his face.

  He is actually very experienced. When it comes to dealing with Zhu Houzhao, no matter what nonsense he says, just keep smiling, because crying is useless anyway.

  Fang Jifan smiled and said: "Your Majesty is serious."

Zhu Houzhao folded his hands behind his back and sighed: "Now that the state affairs are busy, I know the difficulties of my father. But if I don't deal with these things, I feel that it is very wrong. Lao Fang, why is it so difficult to be the emperor?" ?”

  Although Zhu Houzhao was in history, he appeared in the image of a faint king.

But Fang Jifan can guarantee that even though it is Zhu Houzhao in history, although he does not want to go to court, he always likes to hide in the leopard room. The memorials to the palace are just the opposite. Although Zhu Houzhao loves to mess around, according to the descendants of the Zhu family who have continued the small temper of the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang who refused to suffer, even though Zhu Houzhao hid in the deep palace, he read the memorials very frequently. , the affairs of this world can be said to be well known.

  Fang Jifan thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the world are extremely complicated, and this is a matter of course."

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Master Liu came forward and said that the cabinet affairs are becoming more and more onerous, and he asked for the addition of cabinet bachelors. What do you think?"

Fang Jifan said: "The cabinet can only be drafted by vote, but everything needs to be approved by His Majesty in the end, so I think that even if there are more cabinet scholars, if there are differences of opinion, I am afraid that not only will it not bring convenience to the palace, but it will make the palace more difficult." Things get more complicated."

   Zhu Houzhao listened, thoughtful.

  Fang Jifan's words are correct, the more people there are, the easier it is to hinder each other.

  The essence of the cabinet is a secretarial organization. If there are too many people, there will be more tongues, which may not be a good thing.

  Zhu Houzhao said: "So, what do you think?"

  Fang Jifan thought for a while, but shook his head. This involves a national issue.

   It is not Fang Jifan who can make suggestions.

The emperor is not a superman. Things in the world are becoming more and more complicated. With the development of productivity, the division of labor between people has become more and more refined. With the development of information and logistics, the affairs that Chen Zuo came up with naturally become more and more complex. more and more.

  Then, what Emperor Taizu Gao envisioned, where the emperor alone would go and intervene in the affairs of the world in every detail, naturally gradually became unfeasible.

   The final result is naturally that the emperor handed over part of his authority, allowing some people to gain decision-making power.

  If it was in the past, the one who could get the power to approve celebrities would definitely be an eunuch.

   But in fact, Fang Jifan knew better in his heart that the **** might not be able to obtain such authority again.

  Because they are not professional enough to handle these matters.

  This is no longer the simple model of disaster relief and disaster relief in the past.

  Not to mention other things, a single exchange involves countless professional knowledge, and if there is not a person with sufficient level to manage and make decisions at any time, the exchange is bound to be chaotic.

  In the chaotic exchange, the interests of the royal family are the first to be hurt. After all, most of the royal family's internal funds come from the stocks of the exchange.

  If an **** plays around, the market will change drastically within three days, causing countless people to go bankrupt, and the assets of the royal family will also be lost in excess of tens of millions of taels of silver.

  This will lead to the fact that the power of the emperor must be divided according to different situations.

  At the same time, whether for the emperor himself, or for a large number of officials and businessmen who have integrated into the New Deal, they also have enough motivation to influence the emperor to distribute power to those they trust.

  The beauty of the course of history is that.

  Many times, it does not need to be pushed.

  When the productivity reaches a certain stage, when it reaches a certain critical point, when something becomes the unanimous wish of the general public and even the royal family, then many things will come naturally.

  Power will be redistributed.

  The person who has been granted the power by the royal family must grant full power in order to ensure that he can cope with the ever-changing ability at any time.

  But in order to check and balance it, a new supervisory agency will inevitably be established.

  The supervisory agency is bound to satisfy the wishes of the emperor and the subjects of the world.

  Exchanges are like this, and so are other authorities.

  It's like, when the world is full of gentry, whether the emperor is willing or not, the laws and systems made by the emperor and the court will unconsciously favor the gentry.

But when everyone's interests are **** in commerce and trade, while taking into account other small interests, a group of upstarts who defend their own interests will also appear on the stage. Like the emperor, they will urgently formulate or influence The emperor made a decree that was beneficial to commerce or carried out a certain degree of innovation on the current court.

  Fang Jifan hesitated for a moment, he looked very indifferent.

   There is no need to promote it by yourself now.

   What's more, it's not what I can push!

  He said calmly: "Your Majesty, I don't know, but with His Majesty's wisdom, he will definitely be able to properly solve this problem."

   If it is not resolved, those who are involved in their own interests, those who have mastered countless wealth, will try their best to influence the emperor.

   At this time, the mighty general trend is like a surging river, and it is no longer something that one person can stop.

  Zhu Houzhao couldn't help being stunned when he saw Fang Jifan like this, and then he seemed a little displeased: "Old Fang, what's wrong with you, aren't you usually good at talking?"

  Fang Jifan spread his hands and said: "Actually, when I return to Beijing this time, I hope to be able to resign as a cabinet scholar. I am old and tired. I should take care of my life and do something I like."

  Zhu Houzhao: ""

  Zhu Houzhao stared at Fang Jifan for a long time. He didn't expect Fang Jifan to resign at this juncture.

  Zhu Houzhao knew Fang Jifan well. He knew Fang Jifan's so-called favorite things, but he ate and slept.

  The question is, even if you are now, isn't it true?

  Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan resentfully: "Old Fang"

Fang Jifan met Zhu Houzhao's fiery eyes, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, these days, I have felt that my brain disease has become more and more serious, and the treatment has reached the point of no delay. I beg your Majesty to grant my request. I feel that the official Ouyang Zhi, Minister of the Ministry, is a stable person, trusted by everyone, and can entrust important affairs."

  Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao furrowed his thick eyebrows deeply, and finally sighed, saying: "Forget it, it's up to you. You have your ambitions."

   After all, he knew Fang Jifan.

  However... Zhu Houzhao immediately cheered up: "It's just that I have to think again, what should I do in the future."

  Zhu Houzhao continued to frown, he looked very cute thinking seriously.

  Unknowingly, the young man who was full of enthusiasm at the beginning has begun to be good at thinking.

   This is a comforting thing.

  Fang Jifan smiled, but he let out a sigh of relief.

  He must know what choice Zhu Houzhao will make after thinking about it.

  Productivity is here, new interest groups have spread all over the government and the public, and history will only move in one direction, and no one can stop it.

  Fang Jifan subconsciously said: "Your Majesty is unpredictable, Wenzhiwugong, Qianqiu alone, His Majesty will definitely find a solution to the problem."

  Zhu Houzhao: ""

  Zhu Houzhao looked up at Fang Jifan again, he felt that Fang Jifan was fooling himself again!
