Chapter 438: Silent Night Thoughts (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )

The other magistrates stayed away from the temple and were probably puzzled when they saw this newspaper. However, Li Taishou has sat in a key position in the cabinet for half a year, and has personally experienced the handover of two generations of cabinet ministers, and has had relatively close contact with many key figures, so he knows much more about the internal affairs of the court than ordinary magistrates.

Seeing in the Di newspaper that the Empress Dowager Cisheng actually opposed the civil officials and the anti-human re-establishment of the celebrant supervisor, standing on the position of the civil official, Li You, who should have expressed anger, felt very funny for some reason.

Her old man's former ideal was to be "Female Zhong Yao Shun" and leave a name in history, and the celebrant who regarded civil officials as beasts of the flood was reopened, is this a complete awakening?

The source probably originated from the great court meeting a year ago that decided to be the first and second second. Under Li Zhongshu's instigation, all civil officials had intentionally or unintentionally temporarily alienated the Cisheng Palace, including the former allies of the Empress Dowager. In the end, the situation was completely out of control, which made Empress Dowager Qian cry in the court with grief and indignation, and Master Li, who was regarded as a betrayal, became a punching bag.

Li You secretly speculated with the newspaper of the palace, re-established the celebrant supervisor, and elevated the status of honor, not only to check and balance civil officials, but also to be the embodiment of the Cisheng Palace to vent its grievances, just like denying him to the local area to vent his anger.

Probably after that court meeting, her old man finally realized that the "female middle Yao Shun" was the mirror flower. The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny, so I no longer pursue this kind of ethereal killing.

Yes, it's essentially a killing. Whoever is praised by civil officials as "Yao Shun" must follow the standards of "Yao Shun", and as for who sets the standards, it is naturally civil officials and scholars.

Moreover, Empress Dowager Qian may still have the mentality of "last madness". She is about to hand over her shift, so she doesn't care about what happens next, she will do it first. No matter how bad she is, she is also the queen mother enshrined in the deep palace, who can move her half a point?

After figuring out the mentality of the Empress Dowager Qian, Li You re-read the Di Bao again, and carefully looked at the two messages of "Master of Ceremonies" and "Xungui", and found that the wording and tone were very different.

The re-establishment of the celebrant was in a deterministic tone. an unquestionable fait accompli; And the promotion of the nobles into the court is an undecided tone.

I thought about it. Compared with the two, there is indeed a difference in difficulty. Although the reputation of the celebrant is worse than that of the honorable nobles in the hearts of civil officials, it is relatively simple to reset the celebrant superintendent.

The eunuchs and eunuchs are all royal slaves, and the setting and deployment of the inner eunuch yamen are the royal family's own affairs. No matter how special the celebrant is, it's just one of them.

For his own house slaves, the emperor can do whatever he wants, and theoretically has nothing to do with foreign courts. Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's rectification of internal supervision is much simpler and easier than the rectification of civil officials, and it is often a matter of one sentence. It all depends on whether you are willing to be reluctant.

Empress Dowager Cisheng felt that it was too tiring to personally approve the book, and wanted to re-appoint the celebrant as an assistant in the court to ease her workload. This is like ordinary people hire a Mr. Xixi who writes documents, who can control outsiders?

Although this writer Xixi may take advantage of the opportunity to extend countless powers, but in addition to speaking empty truths. From the legal point of view, the civil officials of the foreign dynasties had no reason or method to prevent the re-establishment of the celebrant supervisor, and it was impossible for them to openly break into the palace to besiege the celebrant and the celebrant supervisor.

Unlike the re-establishment of the celebrant and the celebrant of ceremonies, a number of nobles are elected to become full members of the council. That's a different story.

To know. Since the court meeting has become a ceremonial decoration, there are three main types of deliberation systems in the Ming court, court meeting, court meeting, and ministerial meeting.

Among them, in the tradition of separating the monarch and the minister, the court council, in which only the important ministers participated, was the most important kind of deliberation. It is the core of foreign politics. The result of the court meeting must be decided by the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven can only send it to the court again if he does not agree. Until both parties reach an agreement.

In the real court meeting, the range of participants, no matter how big or small, only circulates in the cabinet, the six ministries, and the science and technology, excluding the nobles. But since the Jinghe Dynasty, the court meetings held by the Empress Dowager Cisheng, including those in which Li You participated, are actually variants of the court meetings. ..., because Empress Dowager Qian is not an emperor after all, there are many subtleties that need to be present in person. On the other hand, Empress Dowager Qian wants to create the image of "Female Zhongyao Shun", so she often participates in the deliberations in person very diligently, but does not lead the discussion.

As a result, the minister's independent court meeting has become a model called court discussion, and the essence is still court discussion, the difference is only that the result of the discussion has changed from playing the Son of Heaven after the meeting to being played by the court to inviting the Empress Dowager Bingzheng. Although the ministers and nobles were often able to attend under the guise of court discussions, they still did not have the right to speak.

The situation in other eras was different, and the court discussions of the Jinghe Dynasty were completely monopolized and controlled by civil officials, and outsiders were not allowed to get involved. Inserting nobles in it and turning nobles' participation in court meetings into customization is tantamount to sending people to invade the base camp of civil officials, which is countless times more difficult than setting up a celebrant supervisor.

Thinking about this, Li You can be regarded as sorting out the structure of this great change -- the two hands of the celebrant and the honorable can be said to be one inside and one outside, using the celebrant to clamp down on the decision-making power of the cabinet and using the honorable to interfere with the parliamentary power of the foreign dynasty, so as to achieve the goal of strengthening the imperial power.

Thinking of the eldest princess of Guide and the Son of Heaven, Li You thought that these two should know, and even reached a tacit understanding with the queen mother, and there was a suspicion of working together.

The most important eunuch next to the eldest princess of Guide is Wu Guangen Wu Gonggong, this time he did not follow the master to the south, but stayed in the Beijing Division, which is very revealing.

After all, there is no harm in resetting the celebrant and elevating the nobles to the Son of Heaven. In the face of a large and complex civilian-bureaucratic group, the new emperor is alone without help, and not everyone is a master of struggle like Emperor Sejong.

After Jiashen, there was a group of emerging nobles. However, in the past thirty or forty years, the world has been peaceful, and history has entered a new cycle under the Yanwu Xiuwen. There was also a tragic incident of abolishing the celebrant and the East Factory because of the tragic deception, which was tantamount to abolishing martial arts for the royal family. As a result, the civil officials gradually sat down, and the rule of the Son of Heaven was the political slogan of the civil officials.

If the celebrant is re-established to be responsible for approving the red and appointing the honorable secretary to participate in the discussion of politics, at least it can slightly check and balance the civil officials who are in fact dominant, so that the son of heaven on the throne can breathe a little breath, and will not passively become a lonely person or the king of Yao Shun.

When the Queen Mother was faced with the return of the government, it was impossible to change the situation on a whim and whim. Otherwise, after a few months of chaos, and then change back after the Son of Heaven is in power, isn't it purely funny.

Therefore, Li You dared to conclude that the eldest princess of Guide was definitely an active promoter of these things, and she could also be a participant. And at this time, the Son of Heaven left the capital on his southern tour, and the Queen Mother or took advantage of the Son of Heaven's absence in the capital to launch changes, which also had a lot of deep meaning.

First, since the Queen Mother is motivated, there is no need for mother and son to go into battle together. Let the Son of Heaven avoid strife and maintain a detached position, which can be used as a buffer at critical moments. If the Empress Dowager's change fails, it will not affect the Son of Heaven after returning to Beijing.

The second is to bring the team close to the Son of Heaven out of the Beijing Division, so as not to become a victim in the fierce confrontation. If the Jingshi vacates a suitable position, he can also use these people to fill it at any time.

The more he thought about it, the more Li You felt that the mountain rain was coming, and put away the frivolity at the beginning. The premeditated changes are so great that if we want to fundamentally change the power structure of the imperial court in the past one or two decades, it is likely that there will be great turmoil.

According to the tradition of the dynasty, if the great dynasty is deadlocked, it will inevitably be protracted, and a few years is nothing.

Li You recalled several famous court battles in history, such as the Great Rites Debate of the Sejong Dynasty and the National Capital Dispute of the Shenzong Dynasty, all of which were fought for one or two decades before the dust settled. That is the real bloody political struggle, which has staged countless conspiracies and tricks, loyalty and betrayal, joys and sorrows and detachments.

In contrast, the dispute between the first and second assistant in the first year or two was just a small fight, and the biggest victims were only the six-grade scum books that were relegated to the place. ..., could it be that in response to Jing Ji's vivid words, the situation that has been basically peaceful for more than ten years is still going to be chaotic? Li You even had a strange idea, judging from his observation when he was working in the cabinet, the stable situation in the past ten years is simply an abnormal Ming Dynasty, how can the Ming Dynasty situation under normal circumstances be such a pool of stagnant water.

Li You couldn't help but ask himself, what should he do if there is a big court dispute?

In my previous life, I looked through the history books, and often scolded Fang Xuan for pointing out the country, this approach is right, and that approach is wrong. But now that I am in this environment, I can't see what is right and what is wrong.

From a utilitarian point of view, everyone knows that they should be on the side of the winner, but God knows who will win and who will lose in the end, or there will be no winner at all.

From a moral point of view, where does he stand? Relying on civil officials to make a fortune, the route of civil official promotion was basically regarded by the government and the opposition as civil officials. But at the same time, he has a leg with the eldest princess, and he also hangs the hereditary title of three products.

So there are so many options to choose from, and you can get on either side. Even as long as you dare to be ruthless and make your own decisions, it is estimated that the golden chair of the celebrant can account for one.

It is said that he should choose the civil official line and not waver, but the emperor will never be defeated... The performance is too positive, maybe when he will be assigned to Guizhou, Yunnan, and by the way, he will be famous in history.

This is the disadvantage of Master Li racking his brains for all-round development and trying his best to step on multiple boats, otherwise he would not hesitate here.

I don't know if the position that the eldest princess of Guide mentioned to herself tonight will be involved in this court dispute...

Even from the perspective of the big festival, for the sake of the country, the country, and the nation, Li You can't see through how to distribute power is the real benefit of the country and the people.

Utilitarianism, morality, and festivals can't all make effective choices, thinking of this, Master Li laughed at himself a few words, did he think too highly of himself?

It's just a five-grade official, insignificant in the overall situation, there are so many ministers and important ministers in front, where is it their turn to show something? And what can he decide? Who will pay attention to themselves?

It's better to look at the direction of the wind, while doing your own errands in a low-key manner, and make a fortune in a muffled voice. No matter how bad it is, there are also Danshu iron coupons to keep their net worth.

Master Li thought again, maybe he was too worried about the country and the people, thinking too much, the situation was probably not so bad, and his imagination was too rich. (To be continued.)
