Chapter 873: Emperor Longqing (II)

The prince is only ten bamboo shoots, and no matter how clever and sensible he is, he is just a child. Longqing is unforgettable about the danger in the palace, and knows that there is no strong care. A ten-year-old child will face various ways to die, in short, as long as someone wants him to die. He won't live

The only things that Longqing can entrust with peace of mind are the prince's two mothers, tomorrow's mother, Empress Chen, and his biological mother, Li Guifei. And among these two, he is actually more at ease that although Li Guifei's mother is older than her biological mother, the result is not the lost meat on Queen Chen's body, although Chen has no children under her knees. can only treat the prince as a parent, but what Longqing is worried about is that when it comes to a critical moment, does she have the determination to protect the calf desperately? In the end, the result is not her own son, and it will not affect her status if she becomes the emperor from the son of the clan in the future, although the possibility of this is very small. But the royal family is the most unbelievable place in the world, anything can happen, for the sake of his son, for the sake of his ancestors, he can't resist taking this risk.

Only Li Guifei, the mother of all her sons, will take care of her son's safety and maintain her son's status at all prices, because the mother is expensive and loses both. In fact, Long Qing admires this scheming woman very much, he thinks that he is a little weak, and he needs such a woman to make up for it and deter the harem. So he has always turned a blind eye to what Li Guifei did. Until this woman intensified her efforts to challenge her bottom line, and got her beloved woman out from the Qianqing Palace to kill the lost. Only then did Emperor Longqing feel angry, knowing that blind connivance could only harm her, and he had to give her a profound lesson.

Yes. Long Qing still hasn't thought about what to do with Li Guifei. The woman he loved the most was the one of his two sons... Long Qing has experienced the miserable life of having a father equals no father and having a mother as if he has no mother since he was a child, how can he bear to let his son repeat the same mistakes?

As for Concubine Li's viciousness, he is not worried, the tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention that this woman's status is all supported by her son, so Longqing just wants to snub her for a while and let her know who she is. In the future, you can be a little more restrained, that's all.

It's a pity that people always save people's hearts with their own hearts, and people with dirty psychology. Thinking that others are just as dirty, so in Li Guifei's opinion, Longqing's silence was just a prelude to the outbreak, she never thought that the emperor would lift it up and put it down gently, so she listened to Feng Bao's encouragement and decided to make a desperate bet

As for Feng Bao, Long Qing was planning to clean up the loss at first, which was not difficult at all. As long as the emperor says a word, the great eunuch who covers the sky with one hand. There will be no scum left. However, the deterioration of his health made Long Qing not do this, because most of the eunuchs around him were stupid, and only this Feng Bao could control the pomp and circumstance and make the celebrant contend with the outer court

In the past, why did Emperor Xuande set up an inner study hall to teach eunuchs? Because he needed an assistant to the minister. In the folk opera and the impression of the old people, as long as the eunuchs are mentioned, they will be associated with the villains who do all kinds of evil and bring bad emperors, but the ministers who fight against the eunuchs are all righteous and awe-inspiring.

But is that really the case? Actually, no, of course, most of the eunuchs are not normal, the psychology is dark, and greed is rooted in genes, and it is still a matter of whose hands the pen is in his hands. The literati have the right to speak, and the ministers are the outstanding representatives of the literati, so under the guidance of public opinion, the ministers have been famous for thousands of years, and the eunuchs have been stinking for thousands of years, which is nothing unusual.

However, in the eyes of the emperor, the ministers were terrible, far less lovely than the eunuchs. Because, the political system of the monarch and the scholars ruling the world together determines that the emperor must accept the separation of powers and checks and balances of the civil and official groups, which is really not a happy thing for the emperor to come.... In the impression of the old people, the emperor can do whatever he wants, and no one can control it.

But in fact, it is not easy to be the emperor of this dynasty, those civil officials are like a swarm of flies, not only have to give advice, but even sometimes sarcastic, sarcastic, and do not care what to do with him. It can't be a major national event, they even take care of the emperor's private affairs, the emperor wants to build a house, they spend money, they want to go out to play, they work hard, and even some guys who are excessive, even the emperor does things, and they have a lot of words. The Son of Heaven has no selfish affairs, for the sake of the country.." Very underwhelming.

And the emperor didn't have time to lose his temper, and those scholars and doctors all looked at it, and they had to accept their opinions, and their attitude was even better. If you can't help but scold them, even punish them. Then the trouble comes, and the matter is always on the minister's side. It will be recorded in the history books that they have the courage to advise and can be famous for centuries; And the emperor was unfortunately saddled with the notoriety of not admonishing, and after doing too much of this kind of thing, he was put into the faint king's infantry team.

Those ministers know it in their hearts, so when they do these things, they often rise one after the other, and they want to get angry, punish crimes, and spank them!

Alas, who is the boss and who is the wage earner? But there is no example, the country is so big, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is a superhuman with energy that only sleeps three hours a day, he can't manage it alone, he must hand over part of the power, and once the power is distributed to others, he is in danger of being restricted, this is the so-called. Separation of powers and checks and balances,.

It was a protracted brawl in which the two contestants were the emperor and the minister. For fierce people like Taizu and Chengzu, one person can single-handedly challenge the ministers, and beat them so that they can't take care of themselves, so naturally no one dares to make trouble without anything. deliberately looking for trouble, you can get a clean ear. But in the period of Renzong Xuanzong, decades of peace in the world made the civil official group thrive and powerful, and as the rich three generations, the rich four generations of Renzong and Emperor Xuanzong inevitably showed a degeneration of combat effectiveness, and was often beaten by the ministers to the point that the nose was blue and the face was swollen Emperor Renzong was kind-hearted, but he was scolded because of the matter. Cricket Tianzi: "Ordinary old people can still have a little personal happiness and love. The dignified emperor plays a cricket but has to be criticized, is there any reason for this?

Why did the ministers have nothing to do to refute the emperor? Is it really just to sell a straight name? Actually, no, the ministers are going to keep the emperor down. That's it

It is good to be able to do what you want to do as you like. For personal gain. In short, don't let the emperor tear down the stage

In fact, the government has long been controlled by those ministers who seem to be extremely upright, who have knowledge, strategy, and the ability to do things. And through the same door, the same year, colleagues colluded to form the same party. The so-called supremacy of the emperor was nothing in the eyes of the civil bureaucracy, especially after the cabinet obtained the power to vote. By the time it was time for Xuanzong, the emperor would be unable to support it alone. If this continues, he will be arbitrarily swayed by the ministers

Emperor Xuanzong felt that he was about to be unable to support it, and he had to find an assistant, so naturally he thought of eunuchs. Although in the eyes of the ministers, these rootless monsters have a slow face, and they are like being insulted when they are in the same ranks.

But in the eyes of the emperor, eunuchs are far more lovely and amiable than the ministers he hates.

This is not difficult to understand, at least the emperor would not think so. Because he grew up in the company of eunuchs, the eunuchs played with him, coaxed him to be happy, served him meticulously, and took care of him. And very obedient to the supple mouth of many emperors who grew up in the deep palace. He regarded the eunuch as his own relative. It seemed to them that those with serious faces. The minister who finds fault with himself and gives advice all day long is an outsider!

And the emperor was not worried that the eunuchs would endanger his position, in fact, the eunuchs had the greatest power in the Tang Dynasty, not the current dynasty. In the late Tang Dynasty. The eunuchs completely control the power of the country, and they can abolish the emperor at will, as if they are the supreme ruler of the country, and in this dynasty, although the eunuchs are dictatorial and form parties, the emperor wants to get rid of them and solve them, which is just a sentence.

This is because the town of the Tang Dynasty was in military power in the middle and late periods. It is not controlled by the central government, and the main force of the central army is the left and right Shence army, the Shence army is controlled by the eunuchs, and the emperor is also held hostage, so the eunuchs can plan the state authority and even support the abolition of the emperor. The centralization of power in this dynasty is obviously stronger than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the military power has always been controlled by the central government, and the biggest feature is the separation of powers... The generals who train and manage the troops on a daily basis do not have the right to transfer troops, and the troops who can mobilize the army do not have the right to command the troops, so they need to be appointed by the governors of the five armies, and the emperor will appoint the generals in the later period. In this way, the military power was divided into three, and no one except the emperor was able to mobilize the army. Even if the emperor transfers troops, he needs to be recognized by the Ministry of War before he can transfer troops. This eliminated the danger of eunuchs taking advantage of the emperor's young age or serious illness to mobilize troops in the name of the Son of Heaven.

And even. Batch of red ,、. Palm prints. This kind of political right, the emperor only ordered the eunuch to act on his behalf, and it was just a matter of one sentence to take it back. The emperor wants to abolish them, but it's just a matter of words. Therefore, in the eyes of the emperor of this dynasty, the eunuchs are the ones who can be trusted, and the ministers are the opponents who snatch his power. It's ridiculous that people in the world have always thought that the emperor really regards his courtiers as siblings and henchmen, and hates eunuchs as much as the ministers. Not only the people, but even many of the most brilliant ministers in the ordinary world will also make this kind of rudimentary mistake, so that they will make mistakes in judgment, capsize in the gutter, and regret them for life

One by one. One by one. One. One. One by one. One. One by one. One. 111111111. One one. One. 1111111. 111111. One by one. One. One-one-one-one

So the emperor taught the eunuchs to read and write. Then select the outstanding talents, place them in the celebrant and let them help them to the minister. There are two kinds of eunuchs, one is the eunuch who writes for the emperor. Copy it down according to the contents of the cabinet ticket. As a result, the only power in the world that can suppress the power of the cabinet to draft the red is in the hands of the eunuch Bingbi!

And above the eunuch of Bingbi, there is also a eunuch with a palm print, as the name suggests, this is in charge of Yudong for the emperor, without his seal, no matter how much he writes, it is a waste of paper...

With the power of these red and palm prints, the status of the celebrant soared, and the palm seal eunuch claimed that the internal minister "formed a counterbalance with the cabinet." It was precisely because Emperor Jiajing didn't understand this matter at first that he fought so hard with the ministers when he was young, and later he didn't have to use the inner court to monitor the cabinet? Emperor Longqing did not have the same fierce fighting power as his father, but he received a royal education as a result, so after ascending to the pole. began to increase the eunuchs to the eunuchs, and the old people in the palace, not only themselves, but also their brothers and sons, were all rewarded. The emperor also ordered the reorganization of the East Factory, resumed the supervision of the ministers, and wanted the eunuchs to lead the Beijing camp, establish internal guards in the palace, and so on, and forbade the ministers to interfere on the grounds of internal and external differences. The emperor's purpose of strengthening the eunuchs through these means to check and balance the outer court is obvious.

However, after Emperor Jiajing's purgatory-like baptism, the strength of the auxiliary ministers of the Longqing Dynasty was too strong, and the emperor and the officials could not escape their high eyes no matter what means they wanted. They have never stopped suppressing the inner court, making it difficult for the emperor's plot to succeed again and again. To this day, the situation of the outer court's dominance has not changed, and the inner court, under the leadership of an incompetent eunuch, can only bow down and do not disobey under its authority.

Emperor Longqing himself could endure the power of the outer court, but he could not bear to let his son be oppressed again. Of course, the emperor's concern is justified. The ten-year-old crown prince is still ten years away from adulthood, and it will be at least seventeen or eighteen years before he is truly mature enough to grasp the authority of the emperor. During this time, the imperial power was inevitably declining, and if someone wanted to use the efforts of more than ten years to do something, the emperor was completely powerless to stop it

At this time, the celebrant used to check and balance the outer court is particularly important. At this time, Meng He, a fool who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, can't be counted on. Only with a vicious slave like Feng Bao and a fierce woman like Li Guifei, this combination can hold up a piece of heaven for the crown prince and prevent the royal authority from being taken away by civil officials.

No matter how benevolent the emperor is, he is also an emperor, when he is alive, what he attaches most importance to is how to keep his authority, and when he is dying, he thinks about how to keep the authority of his descendants.

I fell asleep yesterday, but I couldn't, and in order to apologize, there will be a chapter in the two companies today!
