I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

[So. ]

[Just as Zhu Di established the cabinet to work for him, Yongzheng established the Grand Council. ]

[At first, the main function of the Grand Council was to assist Yongzheng in dealing with the Junggar rebellion in the northwest. ]

[The hardworking emperor Yongzheng felt that there was a military department and a household department between him and the front-line generals, and the transmission of information between the upper and lower levels was too inefficient. ]

[So, he first established the military supply room responsible for logistics with the senior officials of the household department as the main body. ]

[Then, he simply established the Grand Council to plan the overall military command. ]

[The function of the Grand Council has begun to change before the war in the northwest is over. ]

[It has changed from a simple military affairs discussion group to a comprehensive secretarial organization that receives, organizes, classifies and archives memorials. ]

……

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di is no stranger to this process of change.

In fact, the cabinet system he created did not come out of thin air.

The prototype of the cabinet was actually created by his father Zhu Yuanzhang.

After abolishing the prime minister, Zhu Yuanzhang took power and personally handled all matters of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was gifted and energetic, he was a mortal after all and could not manage everything.

So, Zhu Yuanzhang first set up the Huagai Palace, Wuying Palace, Wenyuan Pavilion, and Dongge University Scholars, and then set up the Wenhua Palace University Scholars.

These University Scholars were responsible for serving as advisors to the emperor, which was the origin of the cabinet.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he created the cabinet system on this basis.

Therefore.

He did not find it strange that Yongzheng turned an institution generated by temporary needs into a fixed institution.

What he was curious about at the moment was, what was the difference between a military office and a cabinet?

……

[Although they did not have the right to review memorials or draft bills compared to the cabinet ministers, they were all the emperor's absolute confidants. ]

[Their work place was also set up in a row of bungalows next to the Yangxin Palace. ]

[After Qianlong came to power, he changed many of his father's policies, but he praised the Grand Council. ]

[He not only increased the power of the Grand Council, but also expanded the scope of candidates for the Grand Council, and arranged the Eight Banners children who he liked to enter the Grand Council to learn how to walk early. ]

[Niu Hulu Shanbao and Heshen, who entered the Grand Council at the age of 26, are typical representatives. ]

[In 1792, the 56th year of Qianlong, the Council of Ministers, which had long been in name only, was officially abolished. ]

[The Grand Council has since become the highest official central agency designated by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. 】

【Unlike the past ministers of state and cabinet, the military ministers themselves have neither the noble status brought by blood nor the institutional guarantee of rights. 】

【As members of an "illegal organization", their rights are completely dependent on the emperor's personal appointment, which also makes the military ministers absolutely obey the emperor's orders at all times. 103. 】

【From the outside, it looks very similar to the Cabinet, but if you take a closer look, you will find that it is actually the Imperial Household Department. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Haha, what the hell is Silijian, don't say it, it really has that meaning, it can be regarded as the PLUS version of Silijian."

"The Grand Council looks similar to the Cabinet, but it is indeed not the same thing."

"Reply-the personnel composition is different. The Grand Secretaries of the Cabinet are basically scholars who have passed the imperial examination. Their official positions are obtained through their own studies. They are the emperor's collaborators, while the Grand Council is mostly composed of Eight Banners children. Their official positions are granted by their own emperors. They are the emperor's slaves."

"Reply-to put it simply, it is the difference between the relationship between the monarch and the minister and the relationship between the master and the servant."

"Reply-the Cabinet has the function of discussing with the emperor in the handling of government affairs, but the Grand Council is completely the implementer and executor of the emperor's will."

"..."

The plane of the Great Ming Titanium Ancestor.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of thought.

He thought this Military Affairs Office was indeed interesting.

It allowed the emperor to monopolize power, while allowing others to share the emperor's affairs.

However.

All systems ultimately had to be implemented by people.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that once an incompetent emperor appeared in the Qing Dynasty, the Military Affairs Office might not necessarily become an autocratic institution.

……

[So. ]

[Our textbooks say that the establishment of the Military Affairs Office marked the peak of Chinese feudal imperial power. ]

[The Military Affairs Office system was thoroughly established during the Qianlong period, and Qianlong became the first person in Chinese feudal history to reach the pinnacle of imperial power. The Military Affairs Office ministers also followed Qianlong's lead and became synonymous with powerful ministers in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. ]

[Being absolutely loyal to the emperor does not mean that the Military Affairs Office ministers had no selfish motives. 】

【If the emperor cannot do everything personally like Yongzheng did, then a new era prime minister who cannot challenge the emperor directly but has power behind the emperor's back or with the emperor's tacit consent will emerge. 】

……

Many emperors throughout the dynasties nodded.

In the final analysis, no matter how sophisticated the system design is, it will be useless if the emperor himself is incompetent or lazy.

……

【In the middle of Qianlong's reign, Yu Minzhong, the military minister and the Minister of Revenue, was extremely powerful and had many followers. 】

【After Yu Minzhong was sentenced to death, his former political enemy Heshen stepped to the front and ushered in his golden twenty years. 】

【After Qianlong, Jiaqing and Daoguang, who followed Qianlong, were constantly troubled by internal and external troubles, and their personal abilities and physical strength were not as good as Qianlong. 】

【The emperor's increased dependence on the military minister gave them more opportunities to seize power. 】

【Before the Opium War, Mu Zhang'a, a Grand Secretary and Minister of Military Affairs, relied on Emperor Daoguang's trust to suppress dissidents in the court and appoint people based on personal connections, which was known as the "Mu Party" in history. 】

【Wang Ding, a Grand Secretary of the Dongge, hanged himself at home, hoping to warn the emperor. 】

【But Mu Zhang'aAh laughed at this and directly blocked the matter of Wang Ding's suicide. 】

[They can't restrict the imperial power, but they can easily manipulate the emperor. The chief ministers of the Ming cabinet called them experts. 】

……

"Sure enough."

In the dimension of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che was not surprised by the emergence of these situations.

When the master is strong, the ministers are weak, and when the master is weak, the ministers are strong.

Although the establishment of the Military Affairs Office does allow the emperor to make decisions on his own in terms of the system.

But if the emperor himself is not capable, there will be problems.

……

[When it was late Qing Dynasty, "benefited" from Cixi's limited cultural level, she couldn't understand the memorials very well, and she had to rely on the military ministers for advice, and she relied on the power support of her relatives and nobles. 】

【Prince Gong Yixuan, Prince Li Shiduo, Prince Cheng Yixuan, and Prince Qing Yixin successively entered the military council as the leading military ministers. 】

【The central power held by the military ministers is still rising. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty.

Yongzheng's face turned cold.

In his opinion, the Qing imperial family of later generations actually let a woman who couldn't even read memorials control the government of the Qing Dynasty. It was really a waste.

And let this woman bring disaster to the Qing Dynasty.

Even more waste.

……

【But the glory of these prime ministers in the new era of the Qing Dynasty who enjoyed power alone was also ended in the late Qing Dynasty. 】

【After the Taiping Rebellion, the local power faction rose, allowing the frontier officials to share many rights that originally belonged to the central government and the military council. 】

[This group of frontier officials who controlled local military and financial power not only had unprecedented power, but could even resist the court to a certain extent. Li Hongzhang was an outstanding representative. 】

……

See here.

Many ancient people in the past dynasties had a word in their minds: Fanzhen Jiedushi.

With money and troops, these local frontier officials were naturally not something that the central court could easily control.

……

[Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, at the instruction of Emperor Guangxu, the Military Affairs Office headed by Weng Tonghe and Li Hongzao kept ordering Li Hongzhang to actively prepare for war. 】

[At the beginning of the war, the Military Affairs Office kept asking Li Hongzhang to actively send troops, but Li Hongzhang was determined to get foreign mediation and didn't want to fight at all. 】

[While he faithfully forwarded the imperial edict sent by the Military Affairs Office to his subordinates, he kept privately ordering his subordinates not to take action. 】

[Guangxu repeatedly ordered Li Hongzhang to send troops quickly, and even made it clear that he should go straight to Seoul, but all of them were rejected by Li Hongzhang. 】

[If you have the ability, you can airdrop the imperial edict to the Huai Army and the Beiyang Fleet. Do you have this ability? 】

……

The plane of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty.

Yongzheng snorted coldly:

"Traitorous ministers!"

As a strong and power-hungry emperor, he naturally disliked such ministers who disobeyed the emperor's will and secretly obeyed his will.

If you are under his command, it is a capital crime!

……

[Li Hongzhang never entered the military council in his life, but it did not prevent a large number of people in the Qing Dynasty from calling him Li Xiang. ]

[Zuo Zongtang, who was a famous minister of the late Qing Dynasty like Li Hongzhang, entered the military council twice in his life, but he did not care about the title of military minister at all. ]

[In February 1881, Zuo Zongtang entered the military council for the first time after recovering Xinjiang. At that time, the attitude of veteran military ministers such as Wang Wenshao and Li Hongzao was as follows:

The military ruffian from Xiangyin is going to enter the military council.

The rough guy who failed the imperial examination has already set off. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Zuo Zongtang is approaching the capital.

Lord Zuo has entered the palace.

Zuo Gong, the hero who recovered Xinjiang, the governor-general who was feared by foreigners, and the imperial envoy whom the old Buddha relied on, arrived at the Military Affairs Office, where he loved him. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Good guy, it has that flavor."[]

"Old Paris Daily."

"..."

Looking at this passage.

Many ancient people in all dynasties were happy.

They had seen similar expressions in the video of the Napoleonic Wars.

This is the change in the attitude of Gallic newspapers when Napoleon was restored.

……

[After Zuo Zongtang ended the Xinjiang war, he was transferred from the local area to the Military Affairs Office. 】

[Not only was it not a promotion, but to a certain extent, it was because Cixi wanted to limit his power. 】

[After that, the two local strongmen Zhang Zhidong and Yuan Datou entered the Military Affairs Office in the same way. 】

【On the one hand, having the two of them go to Beijing together can reduce their control over the local areas, and also let them restrict each other in the Grand Council. At the same time, they have to rely on them to preside over the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty. 】

……

Many emperors in the past dynasties nodded slightly.

For the frontier historians who hold military and financial power in the local areas, entering the Grand Council is actually a promotion in name only.

……

【The birth of the Grand Council seems to be an unintentional move by Emperor Yongzheng, but it is actually the result of the continuous attempts of the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the result of the efforts of the three emperors of Shunzhi, Kangxi and Yongzheng to reduce the power of the ministers and the cabinet. 】

【Its birth made the emperor truly the only person who speaks in this empire. 】

【Since then, no position or official can directly challenge the imperial power. 】

【The result is that the rise and fall of a dynasty depends entirely on the personal level of the emperor. 】

[It is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to produce a Zhang Juzheng to try to turn the tide, so that Zuo Zongtang, Zhang Zhidong and others can only do their best and leave it to fate. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

After watching the conclusion of the video, Li Shimin felt that there was some truth in his heart.

The emperor's absolute dictatorship.

It may not be a good thing.

The prime minister system is indeed a restriction on the imperial power.

ButThis kind of restriction is not necessarily a bad thing for a country.

It must be said that after receiving many later thoughts from the high-altitude giant screen, although Li Shimin would not change his fundamental class position as an emperor, he had a deeper thinking about how to better govern the country.

……

In the high-altitude giant screen.

The video is refreshed.

A new video appears.

[Large-scale documentary: "Legend of the Innate Holy Body"]

……

Looking at this short line of big characters on the high-altitude giant screen.

The ancients of all dynasties were all confused.

"Innate Holy Body?"

"What is this?"

It was at this time.

In the confusion of the ancients.

The preface of the video begins to play.

……

[In the last days of the Dharma, when the luck is declining and the fate of mankind is about to end, hundreds of stars shine brightly on the edge of the sky, and hundreds of holy bodies appear in the corners of the earth. As the old saying goes: "Who says that there is no emperor in the human race? The innate holy bodies fight in the sky." ]

[This is a hot topic circulating on the Internet recently. ]

[While some people are still immersed in the impression that children know nothing, these new generations have already used their extraordinary talents on the Internet to make us adults feel ashamed, and we sincerely call the children brothers (sisters). ]

[Children are firm supporters of objective reality, and brothers (sisters) are spiritually convinced of these people with unique skills. ]

[The magical fusion of reality and spirit is just like those immortal fetuses with various innate wisdom in immortal cultivation novels. 】

[With a variety of extremely fantastic achievements, he left behind one after another astonishing "immortal cultivation legends" such as "Innate Teaching Qualification Holy Body", "Innate Mechanical Repair Holy Body", "Innate Chef Holy Body", "Innate Music Holy Body". 】

[Today, let us get to know these "Innate Holy Bodies". 】

……

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di asked Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji:

"The so-called innate holy body in later generations refers to the child prodigy, right?"

Before Zhu Gaochi could speak, Zhu Zhanji rushed to reply:

"Yes, Grandpa, I think that's what it means."

Hearing this, Zhu Di nodded.

Then he continued to look at the giant screen in the sky with interest.

He wanted to see what the child prodigies of later generations were like?

……

[“Innate Teaching Qualifications”: Teacher Xiao Gu. ]

[At the age of 12, she seems to have 42 years of teaching experience. From guiding the topic to solving the problem, the eloquent and generous “Teacher Xiao Gu” does not seem to have learned it recently, but seems to have remembered it in the previous life. ]

[At the age of elementary school, she used junior high school knowledge to explain high school math problems, which made a group of college students in front of the screen sweat. ]

[Watching the little sister write down the tedious problem-solving steps step by step on the blackboard, muttering those mathematical theorems that I was familiar with, I had no idea what she was talking about.I suddenly felt that I was probably sick. 】

[I couldn't sleep anyway, so I sat up and lit a cigarette. This sadness had no reason. I looked at the black screen of my phone sadly, and a bitter feeling rose in my heart: "I think I'm not a good person!" 】

[From inequalities to conic sections, three moving points to quadratic functions, the increasingly difficult questions made Xiaoxiao's hairline gradually darken, and also made more and more college students keep silent in their respective "knowledge blind spots". 】

The bullet screen flew out:

"The only true god: Teacher Xiaogu!"

"It doesn't look like I've just learned it, it seems like I haven't forgotten it completely."

"This is Meng Po's water."

"Facing Teacher Xiaogu, I feel that my math is really in vain."

"..."

Accompanied by narration and subtitles.

The video of Teacher Xiaogu's lecture was inserted and played on the giant screen in the sky.

Looking at the dense mathematical formulas, curves, functions, problem-solving steps, etc. on the giant screen in the sky.

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were simply dumbfounded.

What is this?

I can't understand it at all!

Among them.

The ancient Chinese mathematics masters were even more shocked.

The mathematics knowledge described by the little girl on the giant screen was too profound in their eyes.

They tried hard to understand, but found it extremely difficult.

"Too amazing!"

"It's incredible that such a young age can have such terrifying mathematics knowledge!"

Many mathematics masters exclaimed in their hearts.

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin asked his math expert Li Chunfeng:

"Mr. Li, can you understand?"

Li Chunfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"I don't understand."

After a pause, he added:

"Your Majesty, according to people in later generations, even many college students in later generations can't understand what this girl said."

Hearing this, Li Shimin and others were amazed again. .
