"Are you worried that I will depose the prime minister?" Zhao Bing had guessed his thoughts from Wang Yinglin's hesitant words and changes in expression, and he said bluntly.

"..." Wang Yinglin may not have expected the little emperor to be so vigilant. He had guessed his thoughts from his words and directly lifted the lid to erupt. This made him a little panicked and at a loss. He didn't know how to defend himself for a moment, so he could only lower his head silently.

"I have no intention of deposing the prime minister. It may be because I have made you feel too careless." Zhao Bing saw that he was silent, obviously accusing his guess, and he smiled.

"Your Majesty, I guess the holy heart by myself, and I deserve to die!" Wang Yinglin knew that guessing the holy intention has always been a taboo. Once he was wrong, it would bring a catastrophe to himself, even the entire family, and even the interest groups. Although the little emperor expressed his attitude at the moment, he was still frightened and worried that perhaps his care made the little emperor alert, he would speed up the deposed prime minister, or act more secretly. He turned over and knelt down to apologize.

"You can tell everyone my words to let the ministers rest on their duties and never miss national affairs. Besides, this is just a private statement between our king and his ministers, so why is it a crime?" Zhao Bing stood up and helped him up with his hands and said with a smile.

"Thank you Your Majesty to be magnanimous. I am ashamed and I will definitely work hard and never slacken at all." Wang Yinglin bowed and bowed again before he stood up. But he also knew that the little emperor might not have taken the idea of ​​abolishing the prime minister because of this, but he also understood that the little emperor did not care about spreading his promise of "not abolishing the prime minister" and at least he would not take action for the time being.

"Bohou proposed that Shikai be the one who stayed in Yingtian Prefecture. I think his qualifications are still low and not enough to take on this important task. I can first serve as the prefect of Xuzhou. Bohou and Wen Xiang and others discussed it to see if he could be competent?" Zhao Bing changed the topic of abolishing prime minister and said.

"When I go back, I will leave Wen Xiang and discuss this matter. If I decide it earlier, I can also let my courage take off my shoulders!" Wang Yinglin naturally would not mention that sensitive topic again, and quickly responded.

"As for Yingtian Prefecture, there is no plan to be promoted to Nanjing at present, so there is no need to set up a left-behind position. The court just needs to appoint a prefect in accordance with the regulations." Zhao Bing nodded and said, "Yingtian Prefecture is at the forefront. Even if a peace agreement is reached with the Mongol Yuan, there will be no major wars in the future, but small conflicts will occur from time to time. I plan to set up the Huaibei Punishment Office here in case there is no need. Zhao Mengjin has led troops for many years and has made outstanding military achievements. With his guardian of Yingtian Prefecture, he can protect Huaibei from worries."

"Your Majesty's arrangements are very appropriate!" Wang Yinglin nodded and said, "I also have another suggestion. Zhao's envoy is a general in command and a relative of the royal family. He can be promoted to Hongqing Palace. I think he has no objection to the court!"

He also knew that the young emperor relied on Zhao Mengjin very much on military affairs, and in private he always called him Zong Bo, and he had almost no idea of ​​being named a prince for his contribution to the Northern Expedition, and he would even let him become the prince in one step. After all, most of the royal family members were abducted by the Meng Yuan and wandered to the north. The rest were also scattered in all directions and disappeared, or lost the jade and gold book, which made it impossible to re-enter the sect. The young emperor entrusts him with such a decree to praise his merits and use it to collect his military power and eliminate the threat of his hidden danger.

"Well, this is indeed the best of both worlds, I remember it in my heart!" Zhao Bing said with joy indeed, as if he had let go of the heavy burden in his heart.

"It is my duty to share your worries for Your Majesty!" Wang Yinglin was happy when he saw the little emperor, and he was also happy, hoping that he would not hate him because of what had happened just now. As for Chen Pu, he could only say sorry. Who made you look down on him? Not only did he reject the emperor's "good intention", but he also secretly slandered him, and even wanted to use "public opinion" to achieve his goal. As a result, His Majesty was even more disgusted. This is really a typical shooting oneself in the foot.

Next, both the monarch and ministers were tactful and did not mention these sensitive topics, but instead talked about some other things. After lunch, Wang Yinglin left. To outsiders, the monarch and ministers were having fun and had a very harmonious relationship. Only when the person involved knew how dangerous it was just now, Wang Yinglin dared to wipe his cold sweat when he walked out of the camp, and felt that his back was soaked in sweat.

Wang Yinglin knew the truth that accompanying the king was like accompanying a tiger. Although the emperor in the hall was young, he was also an emperor. Although he had just hidden his teeth and claws, no one dared to underestimate him. Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Mongol Yuan had just been destroyed. If the answer had not been correct, His Majesty showed restraint. I am afraid that not only he would not be able to leave the camp, but a storm would also be set off in the court. I don’t know how many people would fall into the ground.

After Wang Yinglin left, Wang De found that although his face was calm, he was still sitting in front of the desk to review the memorials, but he had not spoken for a long time and had not written a word for a long time. The red pen in his hand had been broken. He knew that His Majesty was trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and he didn't know how to persuade him. He just waved his hand to let the eunuchs quietly retreat, and then he covered the door and stood beside him. Then he heard His Majesty breathing a long breath, and the sound of his pace came from the hall...

Zhao Bing knew very well that since mankind established the dynasty, the imperial power and prime ministers of all dynasties have been established, like a pair of enemies, love and kill each other, and the competition between the two has never subsided. However, whether it is the change of dynasty or political reform, there has never been abolishing the "Prime Minister" system, and it has always been with us.

In all dynasties, Zhao Bing knew that the era when the prime minister was the most prosperous was the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, and it was also the period when the system was further improved. At that time, all the three ministers and senior officials were meritorious officials and marquis. The prime minister opened the government and took charge of all government affairs. The intervention of imperial power in administration could only be limited to changing candidates in the circle of top meritorious officials and marquis, that is, the prime minister's personnel dismissal.

It was not until the time of Emperor Wu of Han that he gradually balanced and seized the administrative power by constantly mixing sand, throwing stones, using foreign relatives, setting up generals and sages, and finally taking administrative power back to the hands of Emperor Liu. This political form is the alliance between the highest vested interest group and the royal family, which restricts and decides each other.

Another form is the gentry system from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. These gentry formed a "small circle". The public opinion and talent supply of the small circles formed a constraint on the emperor's power. However, in terms of power, the emperor, as the largest "power clan", has greater autonomy and can appoint "outsiders" who like them as prime ministers. In this way, a "group prime minister system" was formed and no longer a single prime minister. However, the "group prime minister" was still the prime minister. For example, the Menxia Province had the power to seal and refute the imperial edicts, and the censors would also impose moral advice and restrain the emperor's behavior, and use style comments and public opinion to restrict the emperor.

In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial power was expanded. Whether from the above-mentioned civilized governance, or in terms of military power, the expansion of the Northern Ya Imperial Army, which the emperor directly controlled, until the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the power of the Privy Council controlled by the eunuchs in the inner court even overwhelmed the prime ministers of the Southern Ya. This form was actually a polite manner, either the east wind overwhelmed the west wind or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind. Of course, if the emperor didn't care about these, they also had enough power to "take a hard time". For example, the "Hanlin Bachelor" system that Wu Zetian continued to strengthen afterwards was independent of the original Taiwan Province official system.

When the Song Dynasty was in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin gave up most of the emperor's power with the scholars and officials, forming that the emperor relied entirely on the administration of civil officials. Compared with the emperor's instructions, he could not be implemented through procedures, and the emperor had no other channels to exercise his power. This form of dependence was dependent, and civil officials dominated the emperor. Knowing that Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty had only the system to suppress the prime minister's power through the reform of the Yuanfeng period of Song Dynasty, the emperor's life was easier.

When Zhao Bing came to this era, he realized that the imperial power had basically been lost and the emperor was just a ritual mud. Chen Yizhong was in charge of the government affairs, and later Zhang Shijie controlled the government and the people. Even when he had to bear humiliation and inherit the throne in order to avoid the division of the Song Dynasty court and the formation of a situation where the kings of the Southern Ming regime had to bear humiliation and inherit the throne, the situation was still very bad and he was deposed at any time.

Fortunately, Zhao Bing turned the tide after the Battle of Yashan and had a group of subordinates who were loyal to him. The situation changed slightly as one rose and the other fell, but he only gained some voice. In order to gain power, he could only deal with the civil officials unremittingly and continuously strengthen himself to fight for more power. Moreover, Zhao Bing knew that the "council system" was not without its replacement, but this was the case in the later Ming Dynasty. At least in the era when Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, it was abolished and a new cabinet system was formed.

Therefore, Zhao Bing began to deliberately imitate during the struggle. Unfortunately, he did not have as much power as Zhu Yuanzhang. He could rectify the court's principles through a great purge, but it did not prevent himself from gradually regaining power using forms and contradictions and constantly strengthening his strength. When the power was consolidated, he did not fail to think of abolishing the "council control" and clearing this stumbling block that was everywhere.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to redefine the emperor and the imperial power was also because the imperial power was restricted. In the early Ming Dynasty, the Secretariat was the ruling center of the country, directly managed by the prime minister and governed the six ministries. This system originated from the Secretariat in the Han Dynasty and was designated as the Secretariat in the Tang Dynasty. Later, it changed several times until the early Ming Dynasty. The Secretariat in the Tang and Song Dynasties had great power.

So Zhu Yuanzhang first took the Secretariat to the Secretariat, such as the famous "two Guanbais, one for the emperor and the other for the prime minister". The Guanbai here refers to the relevant reports submitted by officials to the emperor. However, there are too many Guanbais presented every day and the emperor cannot finish reading them, so some unimportant Guanbais will be directly answered by the Prime Minister and the Secretariat. The emperor only needs to deal with the more important and more difficult ones.
