Chapter 1090: Flying Windfall
Xu Wei could see that Tang Yi had the intention of retiring, but the stall he left behind must be inherited, and this successor must also implement his ideas, continue to fight with the emperor, and have the ability to eat the emperor to death. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Obviously, Shen Shixing is one of Tang Yi's favorite candidates, but this guy and Tang Yi are both gloomy, on the surface, the wind and the moon are bright, and the market is open, but secretly he has a lot of money, and the calculating person is never polite.
If you want to push Shen Shixing to take over, in case this guy turns around and strikes, Tang Yi's fun will be great.
This is not without lessons from the past, Xu Jie chose Zhang Juzheng by mistake, and was made to be a ghost or a ghost, Tang Yi can't make Xu Jie's mistake.
Let Shen Shixing go to Henan, act as a knife to kill the king of Zhou and kill the royalists, and even if he ascends the throne in the future, he will not be able to repair the relationship with the royal family, so he can only continue to fight to the death.
Insidious, so insidious!
Xu Fatzi thought so.
"Brother Wen, thanks to you for reading for so many years, you haven't grown at all...... Oh no, at least your belly is getting bigger and how many are pregnant? ”
Xu Wei's old face was flushed, and he looked down at his belly, which was bigger than Maitreya Buddha, the fat that couldn't be covered by his official uniform, and his body was full of swimming rings, which really made Xu Dacai embarrassed!
"The surname Tang is less sarcastic, Xu is a big-bellied person, with a wide heart and a fat body, unlike some people with small bellies and chicken intestines!"
Tang Yi rolled his eyes, "How do you know I'm a calculator?" If he doesn't do it well, how can my people willingly support him? If you want to become the spokesperson for the interests of one party, if you don't rush forward bravely, how can you follow behind and pick up the cheapest. I, Tang, am also seven in and seven out on the battlefield, could it be that Brother Feiwen has forgotten? ”
Xu Wei was really asked, over the years, Tang Yi has indeed not been easy, and he really doesn't know how much risk he has taken to get to where he is today.
"It's done, I can't talk about you!"
Fat Xu pulled a chair and leaned closer, "You asked me to draw up the "Royal Family Regulations", and I encountered a lot of trouble. ”
"How?"
"It stands to reason that this regulation is naturally to limit the imperial power, but the problem is to limit the power after the restriction, whether it will fall to the cabinet, or to the council, the royal family, the cabinet, the council of the three parties, how to divide the power, in addition to whether to set up other institutions, and which side of the military power and financial power belong to, things are complicated, although I have come up with a lot of drafts at the moment, but after I read it, there are many contradictions, and it is not easy to reconcile. Each of these is very much involved, and this is not something that my small body can bear. ”
Xu Wei said, shrugging helplessly, very funny. Tang Yi took a breath secretly, it was indeed not easy to do. He proposed the establishment of advisory bureaus in the provinces, which was to gather the strength of all the people to suppress the imperial power. The power of the ministers comes from the people, not from the emperor, from heaven.
That being the case, it stands to reason that the Council is the heart of the Empire.
However, at present, the Council has been drafted, and the deputies selected from various localities are uneven, and the number of potential royalists among them is not a minority, and relying on them may not be reliable.
If the power is left in the cabinet, not every cabinet elder is so self-proclaimed, and the cabinet was designed from the beginning to be the emperor's secretarial body, which was to act as an adviser to the emperor.
Cabinet scholars from the Zhongji Hall to the East Pavilion Bachelors, all of them are five grades, if there is no public orphan teacher with the title of young teacher, Tang Yi will still wear a blue robe!
In fact, not only the cabinet scholars, but also the six science corridors, all of which are given seven grades in the matter, and the typical small system is big, and the position is humble and powerful. In the final analysis, it is also to prevent ministers from seizing power, and it is to serve the emperor.
The same is true at the local level, for example, the three divisions are divided into powers, the political envoy and the envoy are restrained by each other, and although the governor is the actual feudal official, they only have three or four grades, while the political envoy is from the second rank, the subordinates are higher than the boss, and there are a lot of political participation under his subordinates, the governor is only a lonely person, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, unless the governor is particularly strong, otherwise he will be eaten to death.
In a word, the Ming Dynasty is full of restraint and restraint, with the spirit of small control of the big, distorted power and responsibility, and pathological checks and balances, with only one purpose, that is, to ensure the stability of imperial power.
If only the inner court is cut off and these distortions are not corrected, one day, when the emperor grows up, he can still take back the scattered power.
Tang Yi closed his eyes and calmed his mind, thought for a long time, and said quietly: "Senior Brother Wen, do you mean to completely adjust the official system from top to bottom?" ”
"That's right, I'm thinking, at least the governor must become a permanent official and become a real minister, the scholar must become a real minister, the prime minister must be worthy of his name, and the six departments must be promoted to the same level as the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The entire civil service system, from top to bottom, must be flawless, so that it can truly shoulder its responsibilities, instead of being unjustified and untrustworthy as it is now. ”
Of course, Tang Yi could listen to Xu Wei's suggestion, he had long felt that the scholar was a little weird, and he sounded like a teacher in the school, not the master of the empire.
In fact, it is true that the so-called scholars are those who teach, assist, and advise, and to put it bluntly, they serve the emperor.
At this point, it is better to reform the bureaucracy than to reform it completely.
Of course, Tang Yi also knows deeply that although the stormy reform is hearty, the interests touched are too great, and there will be a lot of backlash.
What's more, the elevation of imperial power has been done very excessively, and the preparation of advisory meetings, and the reform in all aspects have made many people unable to slow down, and they are overwhelmed, and if they continue to make it, internal and external troubles, it is really difficult to clean up.
Tang Yi is very confident, but not arrogant, he knows that any change needs the right time, such as the overthrow of imperial power, if it weren't for the Li family's gang being mad and treating the hundred officials as revenge, there would be no hundred officials to fight back.
If it weren't for the locust plague, he wouldn't have been able to emigrate overseas.
Reform of the bureaucratic system also requires a very good opportunity, and there are two ways to get it, one is to create an opportunity, and the other is to sit back and wait for an opportunity.
What to do?
Tang Yi was thinking about it, but he didn't expect that a heaven-sent opportunity fell from the sky, and a huge pie fell on Tang Yi's head. And it was his baby son, Tang Ping'an, who sent this pie.
Not long ago, Mo Maoqia, the emperor of the Mo Dynasty, was assassinated, and the Mo Dynasty was completely in chaos.
The child of Ping An dared to swear to the sky that he definitely did not do anything black, but Wang Yin's guy may not be...... Speaking of which, when Wang Yin was under Hu Zongxian, he was known as a poisoner, and he had many bad ideas, such as arresting Wang Zhi's family, forging the letters of Mrs. Wang, coaxing Wang Zhi, fanning the flames everywhere, causing civil strife among the Japanese and the Japanese, and rushing to annex each other, everyone shuddered when they mentioned Wang Shiyue.
It's just that under Tang Yi's hands, this guy cherishes feathers, doesn't like to be too out of line in everything, and only uses three points if he has ten points, which makes him constrained, and Wang Yin's talent has also buried a lot.
Not long ago, the Ming army concentrated 7,000 firecrackers, plus 35,000 soldiers of the Mo Dynasty, under the leadership of Mo Jinggong, the battle of Qinghua.
The Ming navy blocked the sea route of Thanh Hoa City, and opened artillery bombardment on the people in the city, destroying countless fishing boats. The battle lasted for ten days, and the defenders of Thanh Hoa were left alone and had no choice but to surrender.
After winning Qinghua, Mo Jinggong was overjoyed, and he was almost beautiful with snot bubbles.
Thanh Hoa is different from other places, it is strategically located and is a key point of north-south transportation. At the same time, a few years ago, his father, King Mo Jingdian, was injured when he attacked Thanh Hoa, and later lost his life.
Qinghua was Mo Jinggong's sad place, after taking it, he immediately slaughtered the whole city, all those who had anything to do with the Hou Li Dynasty, not a single one remained, and he killed for twenty days, the blood stained the bay red, the floating corpses attracted countless sharks, and the whole city was shrouded in bloody terror.
Filled with discomfort, he returned to Hanoi early, too lazy to watch the Annam people go crazy.
Mo Jinggong's frenzied killing caused dissatisfaction from all parties, including the noble royal family of the Mo Dynasty, who took the opportunity to negotiate with the Emperor Mo Mao and asked for Mo Jinggong's military power to be relieved.
Of course, Mo Maoqia knew that his nephew was backed by the Ming army, he didn't have the courage, and after thinking about it, he decided to personally lead the men and horses to Thanh Hoa, nominally to appease the place and clean up people's hearts, but in fact to restrain Mo Jinggong, lest he come nonsense.
Mo Maoqia led 20,000 horses according to the plan, accompanied by civil and military forces, rushed to Thanh Hoa, met with his nephew, and crowned him King Binh, rewarded him a lot, and then transferred Mo Jinggong back to Hanoi.
Mo Jinggong is not stupid, he saw that his uncle wanted to hold himself high and empty his power. He simply pretended to be sick and couldn't leave, and he couldn't leave in Qinghua. The two of them were consumed like this, but unfortunately, once Mo Maoqia inspected the army, watched the army demonstrate firearms, and was ecstatic, intoxicated with the power of weapons, I don't know where a lead bullet flew from nowhere, and exploded Mo Maoqia's head.
The Emperor has been assassinated!
The Mo Dynasty was in turmoil, and Emperor Mo Quan decided that it was Mo Jinggong who killed his father Mo Maoqia, and he was overwhelmed with grief and indignation, swearing to the sky, threatening to crusade against the traitors, and actively dispatching troops.
Mo Jinggong had a hard time arguing, and he had no time to investigate who was the murderer, so he could only desperately grab the men and horses and support his own troops.
However, the small Thanh Hoa could not support tens of thousands of horses, and Mo Jinggong's subordinates were disheartened and had a tendency to fall apart. He had no other way but to ask for help from Ping An and the Ming Dynasty.
“…… Mo Jing respectfully promised that as long as Da Ming could support him, defeat Mo Quan, and take the throne, he would be willing to offer Thanh Hoa and Haiphong Port with both hands. Thanh Hoa alone has 4 million mu of farmland, which is enough to house 300,000 people based on a family of three cultivating 40 mu......"
Tang Yi's eyes lit up, Thanh Hoa not only has farmland, but also a large forest, as well as a harbor, where you can fish, you can do business, and you can immigrate 500,000, there is no problem at all. And with these 500,000 immigrants, the whale will swallow and cannibalize, and soon Annan will fall into control......
"Send a letter to Shen Shixing, and the immigration work can begin." Tang Yi said with relief. (To be continued.) )
