After the meeting ended, the emperor took Zhu Ciran to the imperial study.
The maid served tea and closed the door.
Zhu Youxiao said: "The intelligence agency is not an army, and it only has the power of investigation, not trial, but of course you understand its importance."
Zhu Ciran said: "Father, I feel that these institutions are not under the jurisdiction of the cabinet and are only responsible to the emperor.
If one day the emperor is unwise, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Yes, it may cause trouble.
But because of their limited powers, such trouble is actually not a big trouble.
If these institutions are completely abolished, it will really be a big trouble."
Zhu Ciran said: "I don't really understand what the trouble is in abolishing these institutions.
I have asked my father many times over the years, but my father never said anything.
I am stupid and don't understand the reason."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Yes, you have always been very smart.
You have asked me several times, but I have never answered you, but today I will tell you carefully and let you understand why."
Zhu Ciran felt excited.
The question he had been asking for many years finally had an answer.
He sat upright and looked at his father carefully.
Zhu Youxiao said: "Why am I the emperor?
Because my ancestors many generations ago defeated the Meng Yuan and restored the Chinese territory, then I have the right to rule the world.
Is this reasonable?
Is it reasonable?
Then the emperor With all the power, is that reasonable?"
"Just like you are worried that future generations will be unwise and cause these intelligence agencies to go out of control.
Emperors are wise and foolish.
If you meet a good emperor, the country will be safe and the people will be stable.
But if you meet a disorderly emperor, it will lead to people's livelihood.
It is possible to lose the right to rule.
This kind of luck is obviously not possible, so I handed over the power to the cabinet and used the courts and the parliament to perform their respective functions, but to restrict each other. " Zhu Ciran said: "When I was studying in England, I heard similar theories, but what my father implemented was more complete and more effective than what they said."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Power is the most fascinating thing, and most people can't resist its temptation.
So they will find ways to grab more power.
This is originally allowed by us, but if they use the power for themselves In terms of seeking personal gain, that is obviously not something we can tolerate.
We have police.
We use the police and the courts to deal with them, but sometimes it is not enough because the courts pay attention to evidence.
Sometimes we know who did it for many things, and even he admitted to you that he did it, but if there is no evidence, we have no evidence.
If there is a way to bring him to justice, then intelligence agencies can play a role.”
Zhu Ciran said: "Father, what you mean is that our intelligence agency can help us find evidence of their crimes?
Isn't it enough for us to strengthen the police force?"
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Yes, the intelligence agencies can find evidence for us because they are different from the police.
First, they are directly responsible for you and are not as easy to be bribed as the police.
Second, they can use some illegal methods when investigating. " Zhu Ciran was shocked and said: "Isn't this more dangerous?
They can act outside the law.
They have no one to restrict them."
Zhu Youxiao said: "The emperor restricts them.
The emperor can decide whether to execute the people they report.
However, they also have regulations.
Within a year, the emperor can execute ten people.

They must report them.
There is no evidence.
But each agency is convinced of its criminal facts, so these agencies have their own necessity.”
Zhu Ciran breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Ten people a year, this really won't cause too much trouble."
Zhu Youxiao said: "The Military Investigation and Statistics Bureau has the greatest power and is mainly responsible for overseas territories.
In these places, the laws are not sound enough, the construction of courts is lagging behind, and they are similar to other countries.
Things are complicated.
Some things are not feasible according to domestic methods. , so the Bureau of Military Investigation and Statistics The existence of the Ming Dynasty ensures the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
The cabinet will submit three candidates for the head of the investigation bureau.
You must choose one of them.
You must choose someone who is close to the royal family.
This is what former Director Dai proposed.
The situation is complicated, so being close to the royal family is the first criterion for selection.”
"The funds for these institutions are all provided by the royal family, so first of all, it is guaranteed that they will only be loyal to the royal family and not to other forces.
You must ensure that their funds are sufficient.
They are running around outside and their lives are in danger at any time.
High Salary is a must, don’t be stingy on it.”
Zhu Ciran said: "Father, I have something to say.
I don't know whether to say it or not."
Zhu Youxiao looked at his son who had great ideas and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just tell me.
Since I am your successor, of course you can ask me anything you want."
Zhu Ciran hesitated for a while and said: "My son feels that if there is no emperor in the world, there is actually no problem.
Didn't my father once say that the world is not a world for one person, but a world for everyone."
Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment.
This son seemed to be thinking further than himself.
He thought for a while, and then asked: "Without an emperor, there must be someone in charge tomorrow.
Who should be the leader?"
Where is the head?"
Zhu Ciran had obviously thought about this issue and immediately replied: "They should be elected by the people of the world and limit their time in power.
For example, like the chief minister of the cabinet, it is stipulated that one term is every six years, with a maximum of two terms.
Then let the chief minister of the cabinet be the head.
Is that enough?”
"Your idea actually makes sense, but it is not in line with the actual situation of our country.
The Confucian theory of monarch, minister, father and son has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Your father, I just changed the clause that the monarch wants his minister to die, and the minister has to die.
After being scolded for many years, and after so many years of continuous propaganda in school textbooks, it became a little bit more acceptable.
At this time, if the emperor is abolished, the world will be in chaos. " "If one day, the Ming Dynasty loses its emperor, and the chief minister of the cabinet becomes the representative of the country, then this position will become the same as the emperor in everyone's eyes, and it will be an emperor with real power.
There will be many careerists, in order to This position begins to use any means necessary to achieve its goals.”
"Some people will question the legitimacy of the chief minister, some will start to instigate ethnic divisions, some will want to stay in the position of chief minister for a long time, and some will start to rebel.
All this happens because there is one less de jure emperor, one The emperor does not have much power, so the emperor must exist until most of the people in the country feel that the emperor is not needed
