The court staff is cruel, and the civil officials have lost a layer of skin in one round.

Liu Dao was also the worst, and his legs were broken by Shengsheng.

He suffered a dark loss, but there was nowhere to go. After all, it was Jinyiwei who executed, Dongchang Gonggong who was sentenced, and it was the Son of Heaven who made the order.

Who is going to fight this kind of lawsuit? Who would dare to take it?

I could only break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach. After all, he brought it on himself.

After the execution, the captains of the Jinyi Guard brought a lot of door panels, dragged all the prisoners to the door panels, and then lifted the door panels in pairs and walked out.

This is also a last resort, after all, it is impossible for the tortured person to take the road after the cane.

Of course, the Jinyi guard carried the convicted officer outside the imperial city gate at most.

Under normal circumstances, there are family members and servants of the convicts to pick up people. It doesn't matter if you use a carriage or a sedan chair, you can get people back.

As for those who no one came to pick them up, the Jinyi Guards would not care anymore, because their duties had been completed.

Ma Li had to report the news to the commander as soon as possible, and then the commander would report it to the Son of Heaven.

...

...

Zhu Cihong nodded lightly after receiving the report from Zhao Xin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

The effect of the court staff this time is still very significant, at least in the short term, there should be no one who will be outspoken because of Zhu Cihong's recruitment of the rest of the Shun army.

There is nothing in it to be outspoken, but it is terrible to be a hooligan.

Civilian officials are very good at this.

The civil officials really play hooligans because their relatives do not recognize them, and the higher the grade, the stronger the ability to throw off hooligans, and the more high-end the means.

Fortunately, there is no such old rascal among the civil officials who cried Zuo Shunmen this time, otherwise Zhu Cihong would really be difficult to deal with.

The stability of the country is of paramount importance at all times. Zhu Cihong can kill because of the corruption of the Donglin Party and the rebellion of the nobles, but he can't swing the sword of the Son of Heaven because the courtiers advised him to abandon the rest of the Shun army.

The reason is very simple, because this time the civilian-bureaucratic clique is in charge, at least according to the evaluation standards of this era.

The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the Son of Heaven should be an example.

Zhu Cihong's reuse of the remnants of the Shun army was unfilial in the eyes of the scholars, which was contrary to the Confucian set of ideas.

Of course, Zhu Cihong has his reasons, originally the strength of the Southern Ming Dynasty is weaker than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if there is forced infighting at this time, I am afraid that it will really be broken by the Manchu Qing Dynasty like the original history.

However, Zhu Cihong can't say this reason to the people of the world, otherwise I'm afraid that in addition to the Holy Son of Heaven, his title will also add a "white-bearded old man of unknown prophets".

Since it does not occupy the "reason", it is natural that it cannot make too much trouble. As long as no one lives are killed, it is acceptable.

Zhu Cihong's rule came from the set of things that were common in feudal ethics, rather than some divine authority of the monarchy, so even the emperor sometimes needed to compromise.

The reform of the country is a slow process, and Zhu Cihong certainly hopes that the country will get better and better, and he also understands where the root of the problem lies. But he can't make drastic reforms without scruples, especially when the life and death of the Ming Dynasty are at stake.

In wartime, everything must be given way to war, and everything must be put in the interests of the country.

Only by defeating the Manchu Qing can Zhu Cihong have a chance to reform, or reform can be meaningful.

Otherwise, the whole country will fall under the iron cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it will only usher in the barbaric and brutal rule of the alien race, what kind of innovation can we talk about?

During this period, even if Zhu Cihong himself suffered some grievances, it would not hurt to carry some black pots.

In short, Wen Anzhi led the rest of the army to reinforce Sichuan.

From the moment Wen Anzhi was activated, Zhu Cihong made up his mind to keep this person.

Not throwing the pot is Zhu Cihong's acting and leadership style.

If the same thing is changed to Chongzhen, I am afraid that it will not be a civil official who cries at Zuo Shunmen, but will borrow Wen Anzhi's head.

Look at the famous officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty, a large part of them failed to get a good death, and the most important thing was to carry the black pot for Chongzhen.

Chongzhen can be said to be the first person to throw the pot, and when he encounters anything, he first clears his responsibilities, and it is all the ministers who mistakenly obey.

Among them, there are naturally really wastes like Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia, but there are also many loyal ministers.

Chongzhen tossed again and again, shook the pot again and again, and played a good hand of cards to a mess, saying that it was definitely inappropriate to say that there was no responsibility for him.

Even if the Carpenter Emperor does not die, the situation will not deteriorate to the point of being out of control.

The most important thing about being a leader is to be able to use people.

Just three words seem simple, but in fact it is difficult.

First of all, you have to have the ability to recognize people and put the right people in the right positions.

Second, you need to get people to work for you.

The problem of the Chongzhen Dynasty is that there are too many people who are messing around.

This has led to an extremely deformed functioning of the entire state apparatus.

If you want your subordinates to work for you, leaders must not only be charming, but also courageous, and most importantly, responsible.

Together, the first two are not as important as the word "responsible". Because this is directly related to whether subordinates have a sense of security.

How can a leader who can't protect his subordinates and only knows how to throw the blame in case of trouble be supported?

What's more, this leader is still the emperor of the Ninety-Five, and he holds the power of life and death in his hands.

The courtiers were worried all day long, for fear that the emperor would throw themselves out of the top tank because of something.

Under such circumstances, how can it be possible to ask the courtiers to work hard and share worries for the king?

Those who work hard may lose their heads, and those who live perfunctory days live comfortably and nourishingly.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows how to do it.

Therefore, the deformity of officialdom at the end of the Ming Dynasty cannot be completely blamed on the civilian class, and Chongzhen himself is also responsible.

So Zhu is committed to changing this phenomenon.

First of all, he must let those who are truly loyal to him and willing to do things in a down-to-earth manner see that the emperor is not a person who throws the pot, but can stand up and protect them at a critical moment.

For example, Wen Anzhi, Lu Zhenfei, Yuan Jixian, and Du Yinxi are all people who Zhu Cihong wants to protect to the death.

Zhu Cihong just wanted to tell them that when the sky fell, he, the emperor, would be on top of him, and he couldn't hit them on the head.

As long as Zhu Cihong sits in the emperor's position for a day, they will not be wronged.

This is what a good leader and a good emperor should do.

Of course, Zhu Cihong will not have any mercy for those wastes who are bent on eating vegetarian food.

The punishment that should be punished, the depreciation that should be degraded, the killing of the deserved, and the copying of the home that should be raided.

Clear rewards and punishments are the right way.

As for the emperor's private virtues, if he is criticized, he will be criticized.

Anyway, what Zhu Cihong wants to do is to make the whole country develop in a good direction, even if it is hacked by the history books.

Li Shimin is not the same as "private morality is at a loss"?

Where is Ming Taizu Zhu Di's private morality?

But does this prevent them from becoming emperors of the ages?

The most important thing to be an emperor is to seek the well-being of the people of the world!
