Stress can cause anxiety, and anxiety can cause various changes in a person's body. From a lifespan perspective, it is not conducive to people's longevity.
This time Zhu Yuanzhang released Zhu Di to let him breathe and relax his tense nerves.
Zhu Di's pressure came from many aspects, the biggest of which was Zhu Yuanzhang, which is irrefutable.
Zhu Yuanzhang's goal was to transfer the national destiny more smoothly while ensuring that Zhu Di would not die.
Therefore, no matter what Zhu Di does this time, as long as he can come back safely, Zhu Yuanzhang will give him affirmation so that he can boldly display his ambitions.
As for whether Zhu Di would encounter any danger during his trip this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was not worried.
First of all, he was very confident in Zhu Di's ability, otherwise he would not have chosen him to be his successor.
Secondly, what dangers can you encounter when you are in the Ming Dynasty? Even some thieves are just untrained chickens and dogs. With a few three-legged cat skills, they will never be able to defeat Zhu Di, who has been hanging around in the army all year round.
Furthermore, Zhu Yuanzhang had already expected that Zhu Di would definitely bring his trusted confidants with him on this trip to help each other, so that even if there was any danger, he would be able to turn it into a disaster.
Of course, the most important factor is that the national destiny has always maintained a high-spirited state.
The high-spirited state of the country's fortunes proves that this successor has a tough life and will never be in danger in a short time.
What ordinary people call fortune-telling and fortune-telling is to look at a person's future fortune. That is, there must be certain rules under the intertwining of fortunes.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't need to go to such trouble. He could judge the safety of his successor and the future development prospects of Ming Dynasty through the state of national destiny in his body.
From the current point of view, the development prospects are very good and the momentum is strong. It will continue to go uphill for at least the next 40 to 50 years.
Forty or fifty years later, maybe by that time, he had broken through the shackles of the world and was living happily in this world. He was a real land god. When ordinary people saw him, they would kneel down and ask for blessings.
The future of the Ming Dynasty is very good, and his prospects are also very good. He strives to completely transfer the destiny of the country within two or three years, and he will no longer be restrained.
If you want to do this, you need to rely on Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi to change his system more so that the national destiny can be transferred faster.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered what he had previously assigned to Zhu Gaochi, and he didn't know how it was progressing, so he asked: "Gao Chi, how are you doing with the regulations on the assessment system we gave you earlier?"
"It didn't go very well."
Zhu Gaochi shook his head. Regarding the regulations of the assessment system, he had already handed it over to the Cabinet and expected the Cabinet to come up with any good plans.
It's just that there is a mix of civil and military personnel in the cabinet at present, and they can't do things very quickly. It's not that they don't have wisdom, but that the civil and military collusion often leads to quarrels, and they all turn into lip service.
At present, it seems that the cabinet is not monolithic. Civil and military officials are inherently incompatible. The two check and balance each other, so there is no need to worry about forming cliques for personal gain.
But the disadvantages are very obvious. The efficiency of the cabinet is really too low. It can take a long time to argue about one thing before a unified answer can be reached.
Zhu Gaochi was worried about this matter. The Wenhua Palace was almost noisy. There were roars every day, especially from Liang Guogong Lan Yu. The cover was lifted.
Although there is no need to worry that the cabinet will threaten the imperial power in the future, this low efficiency will, over time, make it questionable whether the cabinet can exist in the future.
This is not an unfounded worry of Zhu Gaochi. Even if the cabinet department continues to exist as a customization, it will not eliminate its flaws. In order to improve efficiency, future monarchs will definitely try their best to establish some new departments.
Zhu Gaochi had been having a headache over this matter for the past two days. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang asked about it, he naturally said what he was thinking.
Unexpectedly, after Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he just smiled and said: "Gao Chi, although the cabinet has been customized, the method of deliberation is still too backward. The civil servants and military generals are not in harmony, and it is difficult to achieve anything just by quarreling." ."
Zhu Gaochi was a little confused and said in confusion: "My grandson really can't do anything about this. Grandpa Huang, if you have any good ideas, please teach my grandson."
Since the basic structure of the cabinet has been established, Zhu Yuanzhang rarely interfered during this period, so he had no taboos about making suggestions for discussion. He said directly: "First of all, tell me who is currently in the cabinet."
Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: "The civil servants include Zhan Hui, Yan Zhenzhi, Shen Shu, and Yu Xin, while the military commanders are Ying Guo Gong Fu Youde, Liang Guo Gong Lan Yu, Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi, and Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen. . These eight people formed the cabinet to discuss military and political matters, but they just quarreled a lot with each other and were not very efficient."
"Not enough people!"
Zhu Yuanzhang first raised this point. He said: "Add seven more people and select people with both talents and political integrity from the clan, Hanlin Academy, and Supervisory Academy to enter."
Zhu Gaochi questioned: "But in this way, the cabinet seems quite bloated, which runs counter to the original purpose."
"Fifteen people are nothing. Issues related to the national economy and people's livelihood require more people to pool their wisdom."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, not paying much attention to this issue. The eight-person cabinet only looked streamlined, and the difference from the fifteen-person cabinet was not very big.
However, Zhu Gaochi obviously still had some ideas and said: "Grandpa Huang, in this case, it may take longer to resolve a matter. There are too many factions in the cabinet, and it is difficult to analyze each other's interests clearly. It’s not conducive to discussions.”
"We are very happy that you can think this way. We have naturally thought of this, so we need to have supporting measures to improve the efficiency of the cabinet."
"My grandson is stupid, please show me, Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "You may not understand what we are going to say next. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask it in time and I will answer it for you."
"My grandson understands."
Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Gaochi a vaccination in advance to prevent what he would say later. Zhu Gaochi looked confused and did not dare to ask questions.
These things are the knowledge of his world, and it is indeed difficult to listen to them without any foundation. No matter how much he simplifies them, some things are still too advanced for this era.
Although Zhu Gaochi is very smart, he is still a person of this era after all. Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang... no, it should be said that there is no comparison at all.
Three thousand and five hundred years of life, how magnificent, is equivalent to most of the history of China. What I saw, heard, thought, and gained a little bit of knowledge is enough for this dynasty to benefit from.
If Zhu Yuanzhang devoted all these things to the Ming Dynasty, it would definitely bring about an unrivaled power. From then on, the world would be as big as the king's land, and on the shore of the land, it would be the king's ministers.
However, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, it was more important to transfer the destiny of the country, and the fame and wealth of a mere human dynasty were not worth mentioning.
The reason why he made some suggestions today is because the cabinet has been customized and the national destiny has been settled. If he makes some suggestions from a high position, it should not have much impact.
