After Wang Ming's "fudge" and "big cake", Zhu Yuanzhang's face, which had become increasingly serious and majestic since he became emperor, now showed a long-lost sunny smile. He has regained his former life goals, and is even better than before.

Firm belief.

For this, he sincerely thanked Wang Ming.

"Okay, okay, Wang Ming, you are our forever noble..."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's mentality changed, and he had more subtle changes in many things, and even became more passionate!

"Liu Bowen, in order to make the future of the Ming Dynasty great, in order for us to become the Emperor of Heaven in the future, you, Liu Bowen, can also become the God of Heaven... Come, let's discuss important matters in the court!"

"Liu Bowen, why do you think we have to postpone the conferment ceremony again and again? Wang Ming, don't be idle, you can also give us your opinions."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang as excited and excited as he was beaten to death, Liu Bowen seemed much calmer. After staring at Wang Ming, he turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang and said with a bitter smile:

"Your Majesty, what Your Majesty Wang said is too mysterious. Please forgive me for not believing that the Ming Dynasty Qi Lun Dynasty can be established so easily... However, I will do my best to help the Emperor govern the Ming Dynasty."

"As for your Majesty, you said that the conferment ceremony has been postponed again and again. I venture to guess that the Emperor is probably worried that the generals will compete for fame, merit, glory and benefit, and there will be injustice. Therefore, it has been postponed again and again."

"Hahaha, Liu Bowen is Liu Bowen. You are right. We do have concerns in this regard, but this is not the whole reason."

"We know that there will always be battles for fame and fortune. The reason why we put it off is because although we have thought of ways to confer generals, we have not yet thought of ways to restrict them."

"If you can't control it by rewarding it, then don't reward it for the time being."

Liu Bowen surrendered heartily: "The emperor's holy opinion."

"The military attachés and generals are unruly, but we can at least suppress them."

"Civil officials have a hard time dealing with it. For example, Li Shanchang has already regarded Zhongshu Province as his own."

"We really don't want to give Li Shanchang the position of Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province..."

"Wang Ming, you used to say that Li Shanchang was not a good person. We all understand that, but he also made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. Unless he rebels, there is nothing we can do against him."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, as if there was really nothing he could do against Li Shanchang.

Wang Ming rolled his eyes in his heart. Indeed, there is nothing you can do.

So in the end, I had to forcibly name Li Shanchang as being involved in the rebellion and beheaded his entire family.

The scheming and ruthless Emperor Zhu, the political novice Zhu Chongba!

Your ability in political struggle is really inferior to that of Xiaobai.

"Hey, Wang Ming, what do you think we want Liu Bowen to be the prime minister?"

As soon as these words came out, before Wang Ming could say anything, Liu Bowen waved his hands in fright.

"No, no, no, I think the same as the emperor. The current position of Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province belongs to none other than Li Shanchang, and I cannot afford this position."

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have the prestige to overpower the other ministers. Forcing this matter will only delay political affairs and will be of no benefit to the court."

"Eh... we knew you would say that, Liu Bowen, you old cunning guy. You have the talent to fight with Li Shanchang, but you don't have the courage to fight with him. You, you... have talent but no courage!"

Wang Mingmoran, he is also a political novice, but he also understands political matters. He is not afraid that you don't have the ability, but he is afraid that you don't have the courage.

If you're frightened just by looking at someone's power and connections, how can you fight?

Liu Bowen served as an official in the Yuan Dynasty, but the darkness in the officialdom frightened him. No matter how talented he was, he did not want to fight with others in this troubled water. Let him help run the country, and forget about the political struggle.

This is Liu Bowen's mentality.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very courageous, but he was the emperor. How could he personally fight with Li Shanchang? He was a referee, not a player!

So he wanted to help Liu Bowen become a player to compete with Li Shan, so as to balance the consequences of civil servants not becoming one-spoken officials.

Wang Ming thought for a while and said: "I don't want to get involved in political matters, but I can understand both of your Majesty's intentions."

"First, civil and military rewards and titles can be controlled, and second, civil and military forces need to be balanced."

"It's an imperial check and balance."

"His Majesty is the founder of the country, and the military generals can definitely suppress it, but the civil servants cannot. The civil servants follow Li Shan's lead. It is normal for Mr. Liu to not dare to fight with him after experiencing the darkness of Yuan Ting's officialdom..."

Wang Ming's words were as straightforward as ever, and his words touched the hearts of Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen.

The two of them were thinking this at the same time.

"Sure enough, I still felt comfortable talking to Wang Ming (Mr. Wang). He was direct and frank, without beating around the bush."

“It would be even more perfect if we could also provide solutions to check and balance civil servants.”

…

"Well, now that we know that the civil servants of Zhongshu Province are already Li Shanchang's boss, we can change our thinking. None of the civil servants can compete with them. It is better to set up a separate stove to supervise them not to make mistakes and make them afraid. Part of them

Suppression, part co-optation..."

"The generals are the swords in your Majesty's hands. This sword cannot be used lightly, so your Majesty also needs a whip that can be used frequently!"

"Whip?" Zhu Yuanzhang called him, thoughtfully.

"That's right, this whip can have a formal name, just call it - Jinyiwei!"

"How should the Jin Yiwei be established and what powers do they have?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with shortness of breath.

"On the premise of being absolutely loyal to His Majesty, the elites of the Guards are selected as the core core, and then all the talents from the military and civilians who are innocent and come from poor families are recruited."

"As for power, there are only eight words - behead first and report later, imperial power charter!"

Sorry, the future Daming West Factory will be played by Kun... Bah, it's the Governor of Yuhuatian starring Kun Kun. He stole your West Factory's lyrics. Don't be offended.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"Okay, okay! Wang Ming, we know you have good ideas, hahahahahaha..."

"From now on, this Jin Yiwei will be the whip we use to check those disobedient civil servants!"

"Hahahahahaha, okay, okay, this reminds us of the cattle whip we had in our hands when we were herding cattle when we were children. I still remember that at that time, we were sitting on the big bluestone, and Xu Datang and the others were on the way to heaven.

The heart of the people, ascended the throne to Kaiyuan, and sealed the world... We remember correctly, that day, we saw you for the first time, Wang Ming. At that time, when we first saw you, we knew that you were not a mortal. At that time, you are now

Your appearance has not changed at all. No, now that I think about it, you are younger than you were then. You are getting younger as you live. Who are you if you are not a god..."

"Ahem, cough, cough... Your Majesty, don't mention the past."

Wang Ming coughed twice and signaled Zhu Yuanzhang to stop talking. It would be disgraceful to say this. After all, he had "fooled" Zhu Chongba with a few sesame cakes at that time.
