It would make things easier for the emperor, which was naturally important, but Zhu Yunying was still somewhat worried.
He had no doubt about Zhu Yunying, believed in Zhu Da's abilities, and was quite confident in his own. However, he still had some minor worries about Zhu Xiaozhu or future generations.
Given this, the emperor's power also needs to be subject to some minor 'limitations'. After all, Zhu Yunying was well aware that not every emperor was exceptionally wise and powerful; there were also incompetent rulers.

Under his leadership, the cabinet was essentially a high-level secretarial staff, but in the future, perhaps the cabinet will be able to do some actual work.
See, being an emperor isn't easy. It's not just about considering the present, but also about thinking about things in the long term.
"After I die, I don't care if the world is flooded," but that depends on the circumstances.
Zhu Yunying truly didn't care about reputation or anything like that. Perhaps he could even consider erecting a blank stele in the future, leaving some things for posterity to judge.

Just continue doing what an emperor should do. That's Zhu Yunying's job now, and these are some of the things he should be doing well. He enjoys it.
While Zhu Yunying continued to do what an emperor should do, a troop of people slowly made their way along the official road toward the center of power in the Ming Dynasty.
Some people are confused, some are excited, and some may be feeling a little nervous while anticipating the outcome.
