Hearing that Yang Feng openly agreed with the emperor's reuse of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Li Yan's eyebrows couldn't help but jump.

In Daming, the two organizations of civil officials, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, can be said to be natural opponents.

Since Comrade Lao Zhu founded Jinyiwei, this organization has become the sharpest knife in Lao Zhu's hands, and the power of Jinyiwei at that time was terrifying, and Lao Zhu gave Jinyiwei the right to investigate, arrest, and interrogate.

In the words of modern people, Jinyiwei has all the rights except for military power, including public security, procuratorate, law, and state security organs, and such rights can no longer be described as big.

That's not all, Jin Yiwei even has the role of monitoring hundreds of officials.

There was such an interesting incident in the Hongwu period, and when Zhu Yuanzhang was chatting with an imperial historian again, he suddenly asked with a smile: "The excerpt on the impeachment of someone written before going to bed last night has not been written, so don't write it according to me, give the impeached official a chance, after all, he is also a first-time offender, what do you think?" ”

This sentence alone scared the imperial historian half to death, but he clearly remembered that there was no one in the study when he was writing the recital. What does this mean, it shows that there is a pair of eyes watching him all the time around him, and his every move is under the watchful eye of the emperor.

For example, what he ate tonight, which concubine he had sex with at night, etc., Comrade Lao Zhu could know the next day, so in the end, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were all trembling and walking on thin ice.

Finally waited for the old Comrade Zhu to return to heaven, his grandson Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, the emperor is much more tolerant of the civil officials, the life of the civil officials is finally much better, but the good days did not pass a few days, Comrade Zhu Di led the army into the city of Nanjing, pulled Zhu Yunwen off the horse and ascended the throne as the emperor, known as the Yongle Emperor.

As a result, the hard days of the civil officials came again, and the murderous nature of this lord was no worse than his Lao Tzu, and the civil officials returned to their miserable lives.

In the next two hundred years, under the flickering of civil officials, the successor emperors continued to abolish their martial arts, and the rights of Jinyiwei and Dongchang were also shrinking.

It can be said that with the shrinking of the emperor's power, the power of civil officials is also increasing day by day, and now some people have even shouted the slogan "The Holy Son of Heaven rules by hanging the arch, and the gods are clear".

What does this sentence mean, that is, when the emperor only needs to sit on the dragon chair and accept the kneeling of the people, as for the drudgery of governing the world, it is better to leave it to us.

This is the fate of the monarchy, and this situation did not take place in a few days, but the ambition of the civil officials gradually germinated through the gradual snatching of power from the emperor over a long period of time.

And this concept has been imperceptibly imperceptible to the hearts of readers through hundreds of years, which is why Li Yan couldn't help but feel disgusted when he heard Yang Feng say the above words.

He couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa Guo, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are just a group of eagle dogs that rely on imperial power, and they only know that the people of fish and meat frame Zhongliang, if Your Majesty is allowed to reuse these people, won't it make the court unpeaceful?" ”

"Hehe......"

Yang Feng laughed and asked rhetorically: "Since you said that Jinyiwei and the people of Dongchang Fish and Meat framed Zhongliang, you should tell me, which Zhongliang they framed?" Where did the people oppress? ”

"This ......"

Being asked by Yang Feng like this, Li Yan was also stunned for a while, he thought about it carefully, if he was asked to specifically say that Jinyiwei and Dongchang had done those bad things that people and gods were angry about, it seemed that he really couldn't think of it.

"Can't tell, can you?"

Yang Feng chuckled, pointed at Li Yan and scolded with a smile: "So, your scholarly spirit is still a little heavy, everyone is the same, you believe what people say, but you never think about why?"

Jinyiwei and Dongchang belong directly to the emperor, and their responsibilities are to drive the guards, inspect and arrest, monitor hundreds of officials, etc., but you don't want to think about it, are these people really so idle, will they actually run to take advantage of the common people?

After all, no one wants to have a pair of eyes around them who pay attention to themselves all the time, no matter what they eat at night, what they say, or even which concubine they have in the same room, how long they have been in the same room will be known by the emperor, and anyone will be furious.

And the most important point is that the officials will definitely be worried, if one day they do something sorry for the emperor, will the Jinyi guard break into the door in the middle of the night and arrest them to the Zhenfu Division? ”

"Xiaguan understands." Li Yan was silent for a long time before he smiled bitterly and arched his hand to Yang Feng: "Grandpa's words are better than reading for ten years, in the past, the lower officials always thought that they were pedantic and always looked down on others, but now they understand that they are just a fool who is just a personal fool." ”

"Hehe......"

Yang Feng was amused by Li Yan's words, "You don't have to be too inferior, in fact, you are already smarter than most people, but you are too deeply affected by your past habits, and you haven't changed your concept for a while."

To put it bluntly, the biggest contradiction in the court today is nothing more than the struggle between imperial power and vassal power. It's nothing, but do you know what I don't like most about civil servants?

Obviously, money, women, and reputation are more important than anything else, but one by one they pretend to be upright and gentlemen, and they are saints at every turn, and they are just greedy for money, but they are not good at doing things for the court.

Look at this Pan Ruzhen, who has only been the governor for less than three years, he has been greedy for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If you are greedy for money, you can still do your best for the court, and after you deceive him, you still keep digging the corners of the court after you are greedy, what use do you say you want to come to such a person? ”

"Is that why you're willing to risk the world's condemnation to take him down?"

"That's true. The longer such a person stays in the position of governor, the greater the harm to the imperial court, so the duke simply took him down without doing anything, and he has many dreams at night. ”

"That's true."

Li Yan looked at Yang Feng's resolute face, and a feeling of admiration surged up in his heart, Grandpa Guo was too decisive, in other words, he didn't even dare to have the idea of taking Pan Ruzhen down.

"Okay, you count, how much silver has been copied out of this raid, let's follow the old rules, leave thirty percent, and send the rest to Your Majesty, I want to see, those people in the household department will be tempted to see so much silver in front of them."
