(Thank you book friend "Baba Bear 123" and "Three, XX" for the first vote of the New Year!) ）

Tong Tuchang saw Fang Fengnian talking nonsense, and angrily stood up and defended: "Your Majesty, things were not what he said at that time!" As soon as the minister entered the tooth room, these people didn't wait to see the minister, and the minister didn't want to cause trouble and deliberately stayed away from them, who knew that Fang Fengnian would not be forgiving, and finally came up and beat the minister! Also, the minister is here to impeach Fu Ge Lao! Fu Ge Lao listened to and believed it, and without investigation, he insisted that the ministers had succeeded first, please Your Majesty to investigate! ”

Tong Tuchang spat out bitterness with his leaky mouth, and Zhu Hongsan was amused in his heart. As soon as Zhu Hongsan saw this posture, he knew that it was the uncle and nephew of the Tong family who suffered a loss, but that Fang Fengnian was too bold, knowing that Tong Tuchang was ordered to enter Beijing and still fought hard, and this precedent must not be opened.

However, Zhu Hongsan was going to want to beat Tong Yangjia first, so as not to let him take advantage of his trust.

"Mr. Tong, Fang Fengnian said that all the soldiers and horses in the world are under your control, have you said that?"

Tong Yangjia didn't take Fang Fengnian's false accusations to heart at first, after all, the emperor knows best what kind of army the army is now, although he is nominally in charge of military affairs, but the main decision is in the military aircraft department, that is, in the hands of the emperor, he has no chance to intervene, and he has completely become the minister of logistics. But now when I heard the emperor ask me this, my heart trembled, and I felt that I was going to be unlucky.

Tong Yangjia hurriedly bowed down and defended: "Your Majesty, the minister is in charge of the military department, but he is only responsible for the manufacture of weapons and equipment. The command of the army, the appointment and dismissal of generals, and the transfer of soldiers are not under the control of the ministers, and the ministers can control those Qiu Ba! Your Majesty, don't listen to Fang Fengnian's false accusations, he is afraid that His Majesty will punish him for beating the officials, so he falsely accuses His Majesty! ”

Zhu Hongsan just took this opportunity to beat Tong Yangjia, and didn't want to beat him to death with a stick, but now when he heard Tong Yangjia say this, he turned his head and asked: "Fang Fengnian, you heard what Master Tong said, are you afraid that Tong Tuchang will retaliate before you falsely accuse Tong Yangjia?" ”

Fang Fengnian secretly screamed in his heart when he heard it, he had never been an official of this dynasty, he was not familiar with the military system of this dynasty, and he thought that he was a civilian official leading the army like Qianming. Originally, Fang Fengnian had the idea of falsely accusing Tong Yangjia to divert the emperor's attention, after all, bribing the generals in the army was much bigger than fighting himself. When he thought that the emperor could see his mistake at a glance, it seemed that the emperor was unhappy.

How do you know that Fang Fengnian is very single, seeing that his trick was exposed, he straightened his waist and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is just heard, as for the right and wrong, the minister doesn't know!" However, beating Tong Tuchang was the minister's first move, he was not a showman, relying on the party to attach the traitor to the party to become a political envoy of Sanpinbu, such a person will not be beaten in the DPRK and China? ”

Fang Fengnian, who was watching, looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and Zhu Hong was angry to death. He hates these stinky old men the most, who are obviously rude, and they have to find Lilly, looking like a moral model.

"Good! You just admit to hitting someone! Come! ”

The Jinyi Wei Dahan general outside the hall heard the emperor's call and walked in with four people.

Zhu Hongsan pointed at Fang Fengnian and said, "Pull this stinky old man who talks about decency out for me to beat twenty court sticks!" ”

The court staff first began in the Ming Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty and became an institution during the Ming Dynasty. The cane is generally made of chestnut wood, and the end of the blow is cut into a mallet, and it is wrapped with an iron sheet, and there is a barb on the iron sheet. If the executioner does not show mercy, needless to say sixty strokes, it is thirty strokes, and the flesh and skin of the tortured person will be torn to pieces. Many of the officials who were convicted died under the rod of the court. Even if they don't die, nine out of ten people will be crippled for life. The highest number of rods was a hundred, but it was of no practical significance, and by seventy or eighty strokes, the man was dead. There is very little record of a hundred people who survive. Eighty of the court staff means that the feet have stepped into the threshold of the Lord of Hades.

The court staff of the Ming Dynasty began with the whipping of the founding father Yongjiahou Zhu Liangzu to death by Ming Taizu. Zhu Liang's grandfather and son acted as a blessing, mostly lawless, and deserved it, but Zhu Yuanzhang set a precedent for the minister of the court. After that, Ming Chengzu Yongle abolished this evil behavior, but more than ten years after Zhu Di's death, Ming Yingzong restored the court staff.

After Zhu Hongsan became emperor, in order to buy the hearts of scholars, he once issued a public decree to abolish the court staff, but that was not Zhu Hongsan's original intention. The longer Zhu Hongsan became the emperor, the more he found that these stinky old nine loved to oppose him, and he had to oppose everything he said. Originally, Zhu Hongsan hadn't read any books, and there were those stinky old nine opponents who quoted scriptures, and they were defeated every time, so Zhu Hongsan had wanted to restore the court staff for a long time.

Today is a good opportunity, that Fang Fengnian still dares to say that his court is not in a unified manner, which he can't bear without beating his aunt.

Ma Mingyuan on the side didn't want to participate in it, he was going to see the excitement, but he thought that the emperor was angry and wanted to use the court staff, so that Ma Mingyuan would not be able to speak again.

Although Ma Mingyuan is not a good person, he is a literati, and the highest ideal of a literati is to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and the power of the prime minister and the monarch are opposites. In the past, Zhu Hongsan finally gave up a little bit of monarchical power, and if he agreed to Zhu Hongsan's restoration of the court staff now, he and other literati would definitely retreat step by step and return to the political atmosphere of the Wanli period again.

This is not what Ma Mingyuan, who wants to leave a name in history, wants to see, he doesn't care whether Fang Fengnian lives or dies, but he must not see Xiangquan being pressed by the monarchy again, so Ma Mingyuan must stand up and fight to the end.

"Your Majesty, didn't Your Majesty's enthronement edict in the first year of Shenwu say that the court staff would be abolished forever? Didn't Your Majesty also say that you can't emulate the brutality of the Yan Dynasty when you worship Emperor Taizu Gao in Xiaoling? Why does Your Majesty want to restore the court staff now, isn't this a joke for the world to see Your Majesty? ”

After being stunned at the beginning, Fu Wenlong also reacted, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Yuan Fu said is very right, the minister seconded it!" ”

Ma Mingyuan saw Fu Wenlong standing on his side, and then looked at Tong Yangjia.

Tong Yangjia couldn't help it, he hoped that the emperor would kill the annoying Fang Fengnian ruthlessly, but now he was on the side of the reader, and if he didn't stand up and say a few words of counter-dialogue, he would immediately become the public enemy of the reader. The struggle with Ma Mingyuan is a struggle for power, but if he doesn't speak today, it will immediately become a class struggle, and when the time comes, all the literati will be his opponents, how can he still get mixed up?

There was no way Tong Yangjia also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also feels that the court staff is a little too much, and the minister also seconded Yuanfu!" ”

Zhu Hongsan originally wanted to take back some royal power through this matter today, but how did he know that these ministers were opposed to such a trivial matter, it seems that the time has not yet come!

"Hey, hey! I was also dizzy by Fang Fengnian's anger and forgot about the edict. In this way, Fang Fengnian beat the official and fined him for a year, is it good to record it once in the personnel department? "If you have three demerits, you will be demoted, and one demerit is considered a very heavy punishment, but Fu Wenlong is Fang Fengnian's classmate, so I don't know if I can honestly record it.

However, Zhu Hongsan was in a very bad mood today, and he wanted to take back the rights in his hands, and this attempt failed again. Zhu Hongsan waved his hand and said, "Gentlemen, I'm tired today, you can retreat!" ”

Ma Mingyuan was in a good mood, and he once again used his power to suppress the monarch's power. When Ma Mingyuan heard the emperor say this, he quickly bowed down and retreated. Others retreated.

Zhu Hongsan saw that there were no outsiders in the hall, and said to Zhu Hai beside him: "Prince, what do you think of this matter today?" ”

Zhu Hai thought that his father asked Tong Tuchang about being beaten, so he hurriedly said: "Father, Tong Tuchang is indeed a little arrogant, and there is a reason why Fang Fengnian beat him!" ”

Zhu Hongsan was asking him about beating, and listening to Zhu Hai's answer, Zhu Hongsan scolded angrily: "Bastard, what did you listen to?" I'm asking you about the staff! ”

Only then did Zhu Hai know what his father asked him, and quickly replied: "The court scepter was abolished by the father emperor back then, and now it is a little restarted... Now that the war in the north is raging, and the literati are about to be reused, the court staff is indeed a little too much! Zhu Hai's words were basically slapping his father's face, so he peeked at his father's face as he spoke.

Zhu Hai originally thought that Zhu Hongsan would be angry, but he didn't know that Zhu Hongsan didn't have any expression, but just said: "Okay, I'm tired, you can step down!" ”

Zhu Hai didn't know if what he said just now was right or wrong, so he quickly kowtowed and retreated, preparing to go out to discuss what was going on with his henchmen.

Zhu Hongsan was very disappointed today, not because he didn't beat Fang Fengnian's ass, but because he was very disappointed in the crown prince Zhu Hai.

Zhu Hai is eighteen years old this year, and he has been listening to politics in front of him for three years, how could he have thought that he hadn't seen through what he was angry about today for three years?

In an imperial society, the emperor is the head of state and has supreme power, and below the emperor is the prime minister. In an autocratic imperial system, the relationship between the monarchy and the relative power was very important and influenced the course of Chinese history. To some extent, the role of the prime minister is more important than that of the emperor, because the emperor is high, and the prime minister plays the role of a "bridge" between the emperor and various departments. At the same time, the prime minister is a symbol of morality and loyalty, a line of defense and a guarantee to ensure that the imperial power is not abused.

However, because of the system of "family and world", the emperor is hereditary, and the prime minister can only become the prime minister after many tests, so the probability of a wise prime minister and a strong prime minister is much higher than that of the emperor. In order to prevent the flood of relative power, the feudal emperor adopted a series of means to limit the relative power, such as Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty simply abolished the prime minister system and only set up a cabinet scholar as the emperor's secretariat. The Qing Dynasty set up the Military Aircraft Department and set up the Prime Minister's Yamen after the Opium War to limit the expansion of power. In this case, the normal functioning of the state can be maintained under the ability of the emperor. When the emperor is mediocre and the ministers are weak, it will cause the corruption of the national program, the misery of the people's lives, and the invasion of foreign countries. For example, the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" in the Western Jin Dynasty, the "Jingkang Change" in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the dictatorship of Wei Zhongxian during the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty were largely caused by the overflow of monarchical power and the decline of power.
