Chapter 908: The tripartite checks and balances are the most stable
readx;
Everyone in the Beijing division knows that Yang Wei instructed his protΓ©gΓ© Wu Zuolai to come forward to instigate this wave of words, and this Yang Wei also made a lot of efforts in it, but whenever it was necessary to come forward to pay for me, it was this Wu Zuolai who came forward, and even the backbones who had always followed Wu Zuolai's side were all Wu Zuolai's own initiative. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Yang Wei did participate in this matter, but it was also due to the difference between the young and the old, and most of the officials were sparse, he belonged to the herd, and there was a fault, but it was not a big mistake.
As for whether this Wu Zuolai was instigated by Yang Wei, as soon as the person died, there was no direct evidence, and Yang Wei, the secretary of the ministry, blamed himself for not being able to teach, in fact, in this situation, there was only this fault that could not be said to be wrong.
Yang Wei, the secretary of the ministry, resigned from the official, and the Wanli Emperor naturally had no intention of retaining it, in fact, in the overall situation that seemed to be about to set off a bloody storm, Yang Wei had already escaped, and at the same time made the responsibility of most officials lighter.
It was Wu Zuolai who thought that the matter of Lichu was an entry point, as long as he set off a tide of words, he could get the step of advancement, and he could also let his teacher go further, and he would be prosperous and wealthy.
If there is a mistake, everyone is not wrong, but this kind of thing, everyone has participated in all dynasties, since someone started, everyone followed the fun, but I didn't expect that the villain's trick led to this different side. βββ¦β¦
"I know that it is Yang Wei who is the mastermind, and everyone in the world knows that it is Yang Wei who is the mastermind, but I let this guy retreat peacefully, these people are ruthless, it is really a good means!"
On the eighteenth day of July, Yang Wei resigned from the official Emperor Wanli on the quasi-performance, and after returning to the palace, he complained with Zheng Guifei Zheng Guifei is not as panicked as a few months ago, but it is a little more graceful and noble than before, hearing Emperor Wanli say this, she thought about it and said: "It seems that the concubine, Wu Zuolai committed suicide by taking poison here is really a little strange? β
"What's more, Wu Zuolai's death, I don't know how many officials in the DPRK have made big mistakes into small mistakes, and some are even wronged, even if he doesn't want to die, he has to die, but today the celebrant and the cabinet are all advising me here, saying that this matter should not be too widespread, and it is enough for a few resignations and dismissals led by the leader, otherwise there will be chaos."
"What does the emperor mean?"
"I am not reconciled, but what they say is also true, I still rely on them to manage the people, and I also rely on them to collect taxes, and without them, I am afraid that other families will become big and become a disaster again."
Emperor Wanli sat on the bed, wearing civilian clothes and chatting with Concubine Zheng Guifei very casually, there were only four people in the room, Zhu Changxun, who was already able to walk crookedly, was walking on the thick carpet accompanied by the nurse, and fell after a few steps, and then got up and continued to circle around, looking at Emperor Wanli and Concubine Zheng Guifei and laughing.
However, in this warm scene, the words spoken did not have a warm feeling, but in this environment, Emperor Wanli was also very relaxed, he said a few words, very worried, and said: "These scholars, ordinary people, are benevolent and moral, what do you really want to do, and you are not soft at all, I only know from their mutual attacks in the past few days, their plans for the Beijing camp and the forbidden army are also to let them not move, as long as I can't move the soldiers and horses, I can only fight with them to fight the law, How could they win...... However, this time, looking at the fate of Wu Zuolai, I am really a little chilled, if these civil officials can really mobilize troops and horses, who dares to say that they will do something bolder? β
Wang Tong returned to the Jingshi and discussed various arrangements with the Wanli Emperor, and did not expect them to mobilize the military forces of the forbidden army, Jingying and other Beijing divisions to help suppress and suppress.
More than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, the Beijing camp was gradually controlled by the Ministry of War in the hands, that is, the civil officials penetrated deeper and deeper, and the nobles who were originally the commanders of the army were gradually rejected by the civil officials and eunuchs, and the forbidden army, although it was directly under the royal family, but the Son of Heaven did not have so much time to pay attention to, the main commander was the eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the eunuchs and the civil officials, the inner court and the outer court, it seems that they are completely opposite groups, and it is also convenient for the Son of Heaven to balance and contain them, but the key problem is, The education and hierarchy of eunuchs and civil officials are very similar, and they often have the possibility of confluence.
With them in the way, Emperor Wanli did not dare to say that he was completely at ease with the forbidden army and the Beijing camp, if he said that he was worried about rebellion, it would be an exaggeration, but he had been run by eunuchs and civil officials for a long time, and let the generals do something to them, it was inevitable that there would be trouble, and it would be inevitable that there would be procrastination, and in such a critical situation, there might be a big mess.
Therefore, after Wang Tong and Emperor Wanli combined, they first issued an order to keep them unmoved, and then dealt with them after they solved the civil officials and the corresponding internal officials, so that they no longer had the title to order the army.
After 15 July, the court officials blamed themselves for their negligence, but on the other hand, they attacked each other, putting the responsibility for the turmoil of these days on others, and if they could take the opportunity to get their colleagues to step down, they might be able to get a seat for themselves.
This kind of mutual attack, but let the Wanli Emperor know a lot of news, it turned out that the ministers did not have the confidence to mobilize the army, nor did they intend to let the warriors participate in this incident, their plan was also to let the army not move, without the support of violent means, the Wanli Emperor was alone, how to be able to fight against the many civil officials and scholars, the greatly weakened inner court is no longer worth relying on, not to mention that there are even some people in the eunuch group who tend to the position of civil officials, not to mention the turbulent clouds of the Empress Dowager Li's line.
When Emperor Wanli talked about these things, he was quite distressed, but because he was here with Concubine Zheng Guifei, he didn't have any scruples about talking, so he complained there.
"I remember when I was a child, the emperor said that the emperor should not let the minister's family be dominant, so the emperor used Yan Song for more than 20 years, and later promoted Xu Jie, reused Xu Jie, but also gave Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng the right to do so, and there was always a Lu Bing by the emperor's side, and when he went to his father, there was Gao Gong, but Zhang Juzheng competed with him, how did I take care of one end but not the other."
Concubine Zheng Guifei went up and changed the position of the pillow behind Emperor Wanli to make Emperor Wanli's posture more comfortable, and at the same time gestured to the nurse in the house, signaling her to take the prince out.
After waiting for the two people left in the house, Emperor Wanli looked at the roof and sighed, and said: "Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng are powerful, I use Zhang Cheng and Zhang Siwei, Zhang Siwei is powerful, I use Shen Shixing, I also have a Wang Tong by my side, when Wang Tong's merit is high, I also have to beat him, but how is the situation like this, I remember when I was in the martial arts hall, someone said a witticism, what is called pressing the gourd and raising the scoop, I can't do this balance here, press one, the other one immediately expands, and immediately threatens my side, I knocked Wang Tong, and the civil officials immediately swelled up to the extreme, and even made such a bastard thing as a few months ago, I called Wang Tong back, but I was worried that Wang Tong's side would swell, the civil officials were weak this time, and the power of the inner court yamen was going to expand again, this is really ......"
Speaking of this, Emperor Wanli kept silent, he also felt that it was quite awkward to say this about Wang Tong, after all, it was Wang Tong who came to King Qin's rescue again and again, regardless of honor and disgrace, and he was still so suspicious.
Concubine Zheng Guifei was silent for a while, leaned closer and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines listen to the emperor's intentions, they want to use Wang Tong, but I am afraid that Wang Tong, like those civil officials, will forget their duties?" β
Emperor Wanli nodded silently, and Concubine Zheng said slowly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is a woman and doesn't understand the overall situation, but when she was in the palace, she read a few books, and she was a little foolish. β
Boudoir private conversation, Emperor Wanli didn't pay so much attention to it, he put his hands behind his head, looked at Concubine Zheng Guifei with great interest and said, "Concubine Ai, what ideas do you have, let's hear it." β
"Your Majesty, the book says that the way to be a king is to lead the top, let the balance below, the emperor and the first emperor and the emperor and the ancestors use this method, some use internal officials and foreign ministers, and some are foreign ministers and foreign ministers, but the balance of these two parties is unstable, there is always one bigger than the other, and there will be no balance at that time, but if it is three, let them contain each other and compete with each other, who wants to be dominant, the other two will not sit idly by, such a balance can be maintained for a long time, and the emperor does not have to go out of his way to mediate and arrange."
When Zheng Guifei said this, she saw that the smile on Emperor Wanli's face disappeared, and she stared at herself in a daze, Zheng Guifei hurriedly lowered her head and said, "The concubine is also talking nonsense......"
Zheng Guifei was interrupted in the middle of her words, Emperor Wanli straightened up, patted it heavily, and said with excitement on his face: "That's right, that's right, I'm always thinking about what internal and external phases control, but internal and external phases, either one side is dominant, or the two sides are combined, if it is three parties, the inner court, the outer court, plus a Wang Tong, let them mix together, with Wang Tong by my side, none of them dare to mess around, with the inner court and the outer court, I don't have to worry about Wang Tong's dominance, oops, why was I so confused before, Not to mention the cold in his heart, he also caused so much turmoil to himself. β
When Emperor Wanli said this, he had already stood up from his seat, walked around the room, stretched out his hand and patted his forehead and said: "The emperor used Xia Yan and Yan Song to use Xu Jie, but why did I forget that there are Lu Fang and Huang Jin in his palace, and Lu Bing outside the palace, this Wang Tong is my Lu Bing." β
Speaking of this, Emperor Wanli laughed, and when he turned around, he hugged Concubine Zheng Guifei, and he didn't stand firmly, and the two fell on the carpet
