Chapter 1127: Nanjing (15)
"Shi Daolin......" Wang Duo showed a very touching smile, but what it meant, Qian Qianyi didn't understand.
But listening to Wang Duo said slowly: "Of course, Shi Daolin wants to lead the overall situation...... He's got enough heat! ”
Qian Qianyi nodded silently, if you talk about qualifications, Shi Kefa is far worse than him, and even worse than an old minister like Li Banghua.
However, the head of the cabinet sometimes does not look at seniority, but also on prestige and connections, as well as ordinary behavior, and of course, it also depends on the level of governance.
Shi Kefa did not grasp the key skills and skills in the changing situation, and did not have the perseverance to change and ruthlessness, but when it comes to balance and self-sacrifice, as well as the influence on Donglin Fushe and other forces, reconciliation, the current situation, it is necessary to have this person.
At that moment, Qian Qianyi was silent, and Wu Weiye interjected: "The prince suggested to the emperor, and he was allowed to do so, and he did not say that he would edict the world...... There are five permanent cabinet scholars: Wenhua, Wuying, Tiren, Wenyuan, Hongyi Three Pavilions, Shi Kefa is a Wenhuadian Scholar, Li Banghua is a Wuyingdian Scholar, Zhang Guowei is a Scholar of Tirenge, Gao Hongtu is a Wenyuange Scholar, and Wang Duo is a Hongyi Pavilion Scholar! ”
When Wu Weiye talked about the list of scholars, Qian Qianyi grabbed the paperweight in front of the table, his hands were white, and the bone joints were clearly visible.
In the end, the most obvious emotion that can't be concealed is only disappointment!
With his qualifications, abilities, talents, and connections, he is no worse than anyone in the cabinet! But at the end of the cabinet list, there is no share of him.
The embarrassment and resentment in this, as well as all kinds of inexplicable complex emotions, I am afraid that only he can understand it by himself.
His life's work, to put it bluntly, is just the four words of entering the cabinet to worship the prime minister!
At the moment when Qian Qianyi was embarrassed and embarrassed, several people present had subtle expressions, and everyone did not make a sound, until a long time later, Qian Qianyi suddenly woke up from his dream, squeezed out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying, and said to Wang Duo with crossed hands: "Brother Juesi, congratulations, congratulations!" ”
The word pity really popped out from between the teeth, with the sound of steel...... If resentment can kill people, I'm afraid that the place where Qian Qianyi lived would be in ruins for a hundred miles...... It's no wonder that Qian Qianyi took the most desirable and successful path for scholars in the Ming Dynasty.
Metallurgical fame, academic leader, Jinshi and first, and then point to Hanlin Shu Jishi, Jinma Yutang mouth with Tianxian, ten years of hope, open the mansion Zhan Shi, and then turn to Jiuqing, Shilang, will be pushed into the cabinet...... Qian Qianyi just stumbled at the last moment, and until now, he still can't get up.
"Mu Lao," seeing that the fire was coming, Wang Duo no longer sold Guanzi, he looked at Qian Qianyi, and said in a deep voice: "Mu Lao is a talented and learned person, but today's people, relying on poetry alone can do nothing." The world is scratched, when there are benevolent gentlemen who come out to help the emperor calm the world...... Mu Lao, is it true that what he has learned in his life is really just to write poems on the Qinhuai River? ”
"This, of course not."
Qian Qianyi said with great difficulty: "However, I can't think of anything else, what else can I contribute?" ”
"I said it. The shepherd is very familiar with the Jiangnan area, and there is nothing that cannot be picked up by the government and military affairs. Now the state affairs are very critical, and if you want to be safe, you have to stand firm, otherwise, the millions of troops will be killed, and we will really go to be a minister? In the history books, the reputation is not very good! ”
"Are you asking students to be sent out somewhere?"
"Otherwise, it's a pity that the shepherd is not in the center." Wang Duo smiled, sat down slowly, flicked the corner of his robe, and said very calmly: "The will may come soon...... The emperor listened to the prince's advice, the eunuchs did not return to supervise the army, and the twenty-four yamen were not re-established, and in the future, the palaces, pavilions, and palaces set up leaders and eunuchs, sprinkled and swept the courtyard, prepared clothes and hats, ceremonial staffs, horses, carriages, etc., from now on, there will be no more ceremonial eunuchs, and there will be no more disasters that eunuchs are good at! ”
"Shengming, Shengming!"
When Rao is Qian Qianyi was very depressed, he couldn't help but raise his fists and shouted: "My emperor is really the son of the Holy Heaven in the court, the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, and it is expected!" ”
However, deep down, Qian Qianyi felt very surprised and confused.
Although they know that the eunuchs are actually the extension and representative of the imperial power, the officials have always separated the eunuchs from the emperor, so that although they have beaten a group and a group, the role of the officials has always been positive, and the eunuchs are undoubtedly the opposite.
Now that all the power departments such as the ceremonial supervisor and the East Factory have been abolished, how can government affairs be deduced?
Does the emperor really want to rule by hanging the arch?
But I heard Wang Duo then say: "The reputation of the Jinyi pro-army has always been bad, so I won't stay this time." In this way, the factory guards are withdrawn, and the hearts of the people in the southeast half of the wall can be invited. ”
Qian Qianyi was like an old chicken pecking rice, so he just kept nodding and said, "It's extreme, it's extreme." ”
"As for the eunuchs, this generation is really untrustworthy, and they can't be managed by the eunuchs, and the royal family also has a lot of trivial matters, which can't be ignored, so His Royal Highness proposed to set up the 'Shaofu', imitating the Qin and Han Dynasty systems, the royal money and grain treasury, and the eunuchs, etc., are all managed by the Shaofu, and the Zhengqing is managed by one person, and the second product is the second product, and the first Shaofu Secretary is Liu Wenbing, the new Lehou Liu Wenbing, Mu Lao, what do you think?"
Qian Qianyi is a very smart official in the end, and when he hears it, he will know what is going on.
In the pre-Qin and Western Han dynasties, the eunuchs were very small or not serious, mainly because the royal private affairs and property were managed by special institutions, and the eunuchs and eunuchs were also under these institutions, so they could not form their own pattern, and the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty and this dynasty were not small, the Tang Dynasty was a self-contained pattern, not to mention, but also used eunuchs to control all the forbidden army, so that the eunuchs were in power, not to mention, the abolition of the emperor was like child's play.
In this dynasty, the eunuchs are also self-contained, and they are the formal extension of imperial power, and the interaction between the celebrant and the cabinet has become a system, and the internal and external ministers have been said for a hundred years, and the eunuchs represent the imperial power, and the so-called university scholars and prime ministers of the outer dynasties are actually dependent on them. Therefore, in the early years of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng was the first person to represent Xiangquan, but without Feng Bao, Zhang Xiangye may not be able to play the officialdom system of the Ming Dynasty at all.
Because officialdom has rules, eunuchs can not talk about rules, this is the difference!
Unchecked power is real power, and the cabinet is a bird in comparison!
Fortunately, the eunuchs of this dynasty also supervised the army and mastered the army, but the ancestors passed on the "big and small system", restrained each other, and never gave the eunuch a chance to take charge of the military alone, so for more than two hundred years, no matter how powerful the eunuch is, he can take it with an edict, which is much stronger than the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Qian Qianyi was happy to surrender.
If the crown prince just said that he didn't need to abolish the ceremony, Qian Qianyi would say at most that he was a mallet, and now there are not many eunuchs who have escaped, but as long as the shelves are put on the shelf, more than 1,000 experienced backbones can swell to more than 10,000 eunuchs in Nanjing within a year! Just for the sake of insufficient manpower or fame, he changed the eunuch system, which is to be stupid.
At this time, the imperial power and the eunuchs are interdependent, if there is really no such generation, how can the imperial power be extended, and how can the interests of the royal family be solved?
You can't ask for a roll of high-quality paper for going to the toilet, so you have to report to the household officials, right?
So where is the royal system?
This empire is run by all kinds of etiquette and rules, and once the most authoritative representatives lose their authority, the dynasty is not far from collapse.
The current emperor fled here, isn't it because the system is rigid and ineffective, the cabinet and the emperor pass the buck to each other, and the people who handle the affairs under him are in a mess, and even the soldiers dare to disobey the order and not go to the front line!
With this Shaofu, plus the use of lords, the authority of this new department was determined, and after the eunuchs fled, their strength was weakened to a negligible level, and even if they were dissatisfied with this decision, they had no choice but to accept it. And the royal life will not be affected, and the Shaofu is also in the hands of its own people, and it has also earned a reputation for completely solving the problem of eunuchs...... This business is really cool!
There are only two Qian Qianyi who don't quite understand.
First, the imperial horse prison and the imperial city forbidden army controlled by the eunuchs, plus the internal forces, these armed forces are the small in the original armed pattern of the capital, and the arch guard is the emperor, and the emperor uses the three major battalions in the capital to balance the eunuch armed with this small.
Restricting each other is the long-term way.
Now that the Imperial Horse Prison is abolished, who will be in charge of the forbidden army in the imperial city, and how can this small balance the size of Zhao Zhilong and Liu Kongzhao's forbidden army?
Second, it is naturally the power of the original celebrants.
This layer is as important as a long list of the cabinet of suitable talents, although Emperor Chongzhen does not like to use the celebrant approval book, but the number of reports sent to the palace every day is completely unimaginable to ordinary people, and it is all the emperor himself to do...... Qian Qianyi couldn't help but shudder, could it be that the emperor was determined to follow the example of Emperor Taizu Gao, and he was happy to do hundreds of folds per batch?
This kind of perverted spirit of taking work as entertainment is really not something that ordinary people can eat...... However, if he does not approve it in person, is the emperor not afraid that the power will fall and the power will go into the hands of the cabinet?
In this way, he was a little stunned, and only then did he hear that the uncomfortable feeling of not having himself in the cabinet list actually disappeared very magically.
"The emperor has no choice but to make a decision, and the power cannot be transferred downward, besides, now that the military affairs are heavy, it is also very difficult for the cabinet to be managed."
This time it was Wu Weiye who spoke, Qian Qianyi looked at the other party with a dull gaze, but saw Wu Weiye said with a bright face: "When I was in Beijing, when the emperor inquired about the war in various parts of the cabinet, the elders of the cabinet often did not speak righteously, and now that I think about it, there are few scholars who understand military affairs. Now military affairs are the first priority of the militaristic state...... So, Elder, this is where it depends on you! ”
