[However, King Zhu Di of Yan is worthy of being the future Ming Dynasty Emperor Yongle, and he actually figured out the cabinet system so early!!!]
Yan Changqing's eyes focused on Yan King Zhu Di, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
Strictly speaking, the cabinet system should have originated from the late Hongwu period when Zhu Yuanzhang was in power. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was already old and his energy was not as strong as before, so he established a palace bachelor as the beginning of the state affairs adviser.
Later, after the Ming Dynasty Chengzu and Yongle Emperor Zhu Di's period, the cabinet system matured. Zhu Di established the Wenyuan Pavilion, and the cabinet was officially established as an institution to assist the emperor and participate in political affairs.
It can be said that the cabinet system is another major innovative system after the prime minister system.
Thinking of this, Yan Changqing said:
"According to what your Highnesses just said, I have a cabinet system here. Please listen to it and see how this system is."
Then Yan Changqing turned around and wrote on the blackboard wall behind him:
“In the past, both the emperor and the prime minister had decision-making, deliberation and administrative power over state affairs.
"The six ministries of the imperial court have administrative power over state affairs."
“At the local level, there are three divisions in charge of judicial, military, and administrative matters, and they are directly responsible to the six ministries.
“This was the previous power structure.”
"After His Majesty dismissed the Prime Minister and abolished the Prime Minister system, the Prime Minister's decision-making power, deliberation power and administrative power were all returned to Your Majesty."
“The power structure of the six imperial ministries and local governments remains unchanged.
Below, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, all nodded in agreement.
Yan Changqing continued writing on the blackboard and said:
"The cabinet system I'm talking about is composed of three to seven people. The official rank does not have to be too high. An official rank of fourth or fifth grade is enough.'
"Cabinet ministers are selected from among the ministers to serve as cabinet ministers with outstanding ability in practical affairs."
“The ministers of the cabinet are directly responsible to the emperor. The emperor will roughly read and understand the state affairs reports submitted by the six departments of the imperial court, and then issue them to the cabinet.
"After the cabinet ministers discussed and drafted the suggestions for handling these state affairs memorials, they were then submitted to the emperor for decision."
"If the emperor feels that there is nothing wrong with the suggestions for handling the state affairs that have been discussed and drafted by the cabinet ministers, then Zhu Bi Pi will agree."
"And if the emperor is not satisfied with the proposals for handling the state affairs that have been discussed and drafted by the cabinet ministers, then he will send them back and let the cabinet ministers renegotiate and formulate a new proposal based on the emperor's opinions. ”
"It was not until the new handling suggestions formulated by the cabinet ministers that satisfied the emperor that the emperor finally approved with a red pen."
"In other words, the power of deliberation is delegated to the cabinet ministers, while the emperor still retains the unique decision-making power."
"In this way, the cabinet only has deliberation power, but does not have the decision-making power like the previous prime minister."
“There is no need to worry that the ministerial power will threaten the power of the emperor, but he can inherit the responsibilities of the previous prime minister and share the pressure of numerous and heavy national affairs for the emperor.
"What do you think of this cabinet system?!!"
Yan Changqing turned around, put down the chalk in his hand, and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang below, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, after listening to Yan Changqing's description of the cabinet system, their eyes were filled with extreme shock.
[The power of deliberation was delegated to the cabinet ministers, but the emperor still retained the unique decision-making power. 】
[Let the ministers in the cabinet only have the responsibilities of the prime minister, without the prime minister having the power to intimidate the stability of the imperial power?!!]
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was filled with waves of turmoil!
He found that if this cabinet system is run according to this system, it can indeed avoid the original problem of excessive power of the prime minister, which in turn threatens the emperor's imperial power!!!
[Is there such a way to resolve the dispute between imperial power and prime ministerial power?!!]
An untrue thought flashed through Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. He had always believed that if he wanted to solve the problem of the prime minister's excessive power and threatening the emperor's power, then only by completely abolishing the prime minister system could he do it.
But now Yan Changqing seems to have pointed out another feasible path for him!!!
[If we look at the cabinet system mentioned by Mr. Yan, then the royal brothers and I are now equivalent to the cabinet ministers of my father?!!]
[We are responsible for submitting the state affairs memorials submitted by the six departments. After drafting and approving the handling opinions, we will hand them over to my father for the final decision. 】
…………Please give me flowers…………
[As far as my father is concerned, we only have the power to discuss politics. 】
[However, we need to ask for the opinions and suggestions of the ministers and subordinates regarding the state affairs memorials that are unclear, unfamiliar, and difficult to approve and handle. 】
[In other words, we also have the corresponding decision-making power, and all the ministers of the Zhanshi Mansion and the Prince's Mansion also have the corresponding power to discuss government affairs. 】
[I didn’t expect that the method I just came up with when I was lazy for a while, but after Mr. Yan perfected and summarized it, it would be of such great use!!!]
[This cabinet system is simply perfect. Later, we must summon the corresponding ministers to form a small cabinet. This way, we don’t have to deal with state affairs until midnight every day. 】

Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all had a flash of excitement on their faces.
In the past, they could only be said to have ignorantly adopted the operating model of the cabinet system, but they did not have a clear understanding of the specific cabinet system.
But now Yan Changqing's words were like sunshine breaking through the fog, instantly allowing the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Fang, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes to find their own positions.
"How can this cabinet system be called perfect?!"
Yan Changqing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and asked with a smile.
"Perfect!"
“Absolutely perfect!!”
"Simply an unprecedented and amazing idea!!!"
"This system can definitely be called another system after the prime minister system that has been passed down for thousands of years!!!"
"It not only allows the cabinet ministers to inherit the responsibilities of the prime minister, but also prevents the cabinet ministers from becoming the next prime minister. I didn't expect that the dispute between the prime minister's power and the imperial power would have such a solution that has the best of both worlds!!!"
Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang, all praised the cabinet system summarized and perfected by Yan Changqing.
