Chapter 446: Counterinsurgency (3)
As soon as he said this, several bigwigs present felt a chill from their backbones. These words now sound frustrating, and they are simply cool words. But if it is according to the old Hongwu system, then this has to be benevolent. In the four major cases of the early Ming Dynasty, the heads of the people who were killed were rolling and blood flowing. Even after the change of seizing the door, there were not a few officials who were implicated. This time also involves the most sensitive change of the throne, if this brocade handsome is really a killer, then it is not unthinkable to create another bloody case.
Shen Shixing is an elder in the end, and his voice is thicker than that of the other two colleagues. "Nonsense. This is not in the Hongwu Dynasty, and it is not talking about the four major cases now. The means of your eagle dogs can't be elegant, don't mention it in front of the old man. Instead of talking about sensationalism, let's talk about it. The imperial court is inseparable from Wenchen, and you won't have any opinion on this. Since the operation of the imperial court is inseparable from civilian officials, then you can't do things perfectly. Be a person and leave a line, so that you can meet in the future. Don't forget, the story of Ma Shun and Jiang Bin back then. The old man's grandson can't stand your burden. β
Zheng Guobao still refused to back down, "Father-in-law, what you said is very true. It's just that you also think about it, now that His Royal Highness Chang Luo is dead, will it be someone else who will ascend the throne in the future? If my nephew ascends the throne, I will have to worry about liquidation. Then this Ming official is not made by people. However, if you want to let go of some people, this is not completely impossible, even if you are in the public gate, it must be easy to practice, but how to let go of the law, who to let go and who not to let go, because what to put it, here you have to talk about it well. The worst sin is great. If the people are very angry, then obviously they can't let go. β
Wang Xijue didn't wait for him to continue, so he intercepted the words, "This matter has nothing to do with public anger." You can tell me what conditions you want to offer. As long as your conditions are not too harsh, the old man can agree. If you ask for a price, the old man will hang up the crown and go away, and retreat to the forest. β
Zheng Guobao smiled secretly, you old ghost said to retreat to the forest, I was the first to believe it. In this change of throne incident, the teams of the three pavilions are very correct. And a firm position. In the future, it is also a sure thing to be rewarded by the Son of Heaven. At this time, even if you kill him, it is impossible for him to resign. Wang Xijue said. is nothing more than hoping that Zheng Guobao will not ask for too high a price. Harvest after the turmoil. It should be everyone's interests shared, don't think about the Zheng family alone.
Xu Guo said: "This chaos also shows that the storage position is uncertain. People are uneasy. In my opinion, after Zhang Whale and his party are disposed of, they should start playing and set up a prince as soon as possible to calm people's hearts. β
Whoever mentioned Lichu at the beginning was against Zheng Niangniang, and the emperor would not be happy. Now that the situation has reversed, Zhu Changxun has become the biggest, and at this time, all positions must be changed in accordance with this. Not only is it necessary to establish a reserve, but there can be no delay in the slightest, and the rules for establishing a reserve must also be a long-term success. Since the queen has nothing to do, it is natural for Zhu Changxun to be the prince. Xu Guo's words can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill to Zheng Niangniang's side, saying that he will not go against Zhu Changxun again in the battle for reunification.
"Xu Ge's words are very good. The delay in the establishment of the crown prince is indeed a problem. If the prince is good again, he will save King Lu from doing anything. However, the prince's teacher must be selected by the heavenly family and several old people, and it is not possible to introduce a few so-called well-educated people to teach the prince as in the past. If in the future, the new monarch is taught to be a nerd, with a mind of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and no way to change power and scheming, and he does not know the benefits of competing with the people, and even really believes in the nonsense of the constitutional monarchy, it will be very bad. β
"Moreover, martial arts are noble, and they will rest with the country. In the past, the nobles did not hold real positions and did not hold great power, which was also thin for the heroes. Open the merit book and take a look, which noble ancestor didn't earn this iron-clad crop for his descendants with a knife and a gun? Besides, the loyalty of these descendants to the court also proves that the ban is tested. In this Zhang Whale Rebellion, all the nobles supported the Heavenly Family, and there was no one who was rebellious and obedient to the thief. In the future, above the court, the nobles will also come out and take up some real positions, which can be regarded as contributing to the country and sharing worries with the country. β
"The other is the matter of this side army. Nowadays, it is not easy for the military to make meritorious contributions, and it is difficult for everyone to be promoted. In the future, for military merits, it should be relaxed, and I think it is better to be relaxed. You don't let them kill the good and take the risk, and you don't allow them to report their heads, everyone has to eat. What do you let them mean to live, our nine-sided drifting is terrible, and the soldiers are living a hard life. If you let them all be like Hanako, and expect them to work for the court? For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, we must also be merciful to their subordinates. β
Zheng Guobao has a hippie smile on the surface, but in fact he is talking about some changes that will occur in the Ming Dynasty in the future. This attempted rebellion is a great opportunity for Wanli to restructure. The situation of the monopoly of the civil officials in the Ming Dynasty must be broken. On the one hand, the Son of Heaven wants to take the opportunity to take power, and on the other hand, he wants to improve the status of nobles and military generals. In the future, a situation will be formed in which military generals, civil officials, and eunuchs will compete for power, and the emperor will take the opportunity to display imperial power to control the balance of the government and government, ensure that the power will not be sidelined, and not give the constitutional monarchy the soil to survive.
In the past, the authority of the Ming cabinet became more and more important, and although the first assistant did not have the name of the prime minister, he gradually became the prime minister. This time the turmoil of restricting the monarch's power can be regarded as a wake-up call for the emperor, and for the cabinet, he began to restrict the use of power and compress power. For the Wenchen group as a whole, it is also necessary to start restricting and compressing, lest they become too arrogant and threaten the imperial power.
At the same time, there are vacancies in the three Shangshu, and the officials within the headquarters will also be taken down. Even if you don't kill your head, you won't be able to keep your official position. So who will fill their lack is the question. Zheng Guobao took the opportunity to propose that Wang Guoguang, Zhang Xueyan, Li Youzi and a group of Jiangling Party members should be promoted to restore their shortcomings. These people followed Zhang Juzheng to change the law that day, and they were officials who were promoted under Zhang Juzheng's policy of employing people with talent rather than morality. There are a lot of problems on his body, such as Wang Guoguang's greed for money and lust, which is known to officialdom. But he is indeed talented, compiling the Wanli accounting record, and his merits are brilliant. The most important thing is that these people are not in the same pot as most of the old party civil officials in the current officialdom. There is no fear that they will collude with these old party members to form an alliance of interests. The rise and fall of the Gangneung Party can be regarded as the sand that the Son of Heaven has put together among the civil servants, and these people, for the spread of the land into the mu, the officials and gentry pay the grain in one body, and accept Cheng dΓΉ is much higher than the old party, and the struggle between the old and new parties is inevitable in the future, and the internal struggle between the civil and official officials is becoming more and more intense, and the authority of the Son of Heaven can be more guaranteed.
Wang Xijue also asked about the disposition of those prisoners, but Zheng Guobao said casually: "A group of dead people, ask them what they are doing." "Even if you block the three pavilion elders.
After Zheng Guobao said goodbye and left, Wang Xijue said: "Shen Weng, this time, do you say we won or lost?" β
"Brother Wang, I think we have both won and lost. We at least kept the national honor of the Ming Dynasty, didn't let the Ming cut off in our hands, and didn't let the constitutional monarchy really happen, which has to be regarded as our win. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future, so we don't have to worry about it. When Hongwu and Yongle were the two Majesies, how could there be today's scenery of our generation? Brother Wang, you are in love. β
Wang Xijue laughed, knowing that Shen Shixing was the biggest winner among the three of them. Although the power of the cabinet is small, his power is great. Relying on his son-in-law's relationship, his phase is unshakable, as long as he doesn't want to move, no one can let him move. The status is not as good as Zhang Jiangling back then, and I am afraid that he can also catch up with him.
Xu Guo said: "According to me, the next step is that the imperial court should use force against Banzhou, and we should also take care of our respective subordinates, and don't mess with this chapter." In the future, we must learn to be careful when we speak, and know what to say and what not to say. Know what the emperor wants to hear and what he doesn't want to hear. I can't think about the toothpaste in the past, always thinking about cheating the court staff and making a reputation. In the future, I am afraid that the court staff will kill people again. β
Shen Shixing thought that this time to conquer Banzhou, I don't know how many people and horses will be mobilized and how much grain will be spent. This money and grain transportation, military preparation, and how much benefit can you get from it. (To be continued......)
