The first wind and rain drifted away

To deal with the Donglin party, the eunuch party can be used, and the eunuch party is easy to use.

This is the conclusion reached by Emperor Chongzhen.

Of course, these people are fierce and ruthless, and they need to be used with caution.

However, thinking about the methods of the Donglin Party, Emperor Chongzhen will also be hehe.

Since it's a means, it's not about who is cleaner than whom?

It's better to compare who uses it.

"Big friend, how many righteous sons have you recognized lately?"

Back in the Qianqing Palace, after changing into civilian clothes, Emperor Chongzhen asked Lao Wang with great interest.

"Back to the emperor, there are currently two hundred and forty-seven people, all of whom were personally selected by the old slaves to enter the mansion to do things, and their loyalty and ability are guaranteed to a certain extent."

Lao Wang leaned over and saluted, his face was full of lotus flowers, and he said happily.

Recently, there have been so many cats and dogs from all religions that want to worship him, and many of them have been rejected by him.

But even so, he still selected a lot of people, and some of them are still under investigation.

"Hmm." Emperor Chongzhen nodded noncommittally, a few months have passed, and Dongchang has also made a little famous, and it is the time for the big open incense case to snare the lackeys under the door.

"Ome, speed up."

Emperor Chongzhen commanded.

"Emperor, some people are mostly roosters and dogs, thieves and greedy for wealth and power, and the old slaves are afraid of indiscriminate collection, these people are good and bad, and their misdeeds affect the reputation of the emperor."

To be honest, Lao Wang didn't know whether the emperor was satisfied, so he could only explain carefully.

"Otomo! Do you really want to treat these people as righteous sons? Emperor Chongzhen sighed, a little speechless.

This consciousness is a bit low!

What righteous son?

Bullshit!

In fact, they are lackeys, and they can be thrown away when they run out.

As for reputation, kill these guys who dare to mess around and disturb the people, and the reputation will come back.

They are used to carry the pot.

"Emperor, the old slave can be saved."

Lao Wang took a deep breath and bowed to reply.

With the emperor's words, he felt more confident in his heart.

In fact, Lao Wang was a little worried in his heart.

With the full support of the emperor, there is no shortage of money, and the development momentum has been a bit vigorous recently.

But because of this, Lao Wang was worried that the emperor was jealous of him.

After all, he is loyal, but does the emperor know?

People's hearts are separated from the belly, and they don't look at each other inside and out.

Lao Wang does not have this self-confidence.

"Big companion, the backbone of Wei Zhongxian's henchmen in the past, you might as well take the opportunity to collect and use it.

In terms of talents, the Donglin Party still has too many advantages.

You have to form a strong force as soon as possible in order to successfully form the Imperial Party. ”

Wei Gelding's henchmen were personally defeated by the deity, and it was impossible for Emperor Chongzhen to personally collect them, and it was more appropriate for Lao Wang to come forward.

As for the little Jiujiu in Lao Wang's heart, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about it at all.

If he doesn't say that he knows Lao Wang's loyalty, he just doesn't know, so what can he do?

To tell the truth, if you change a eunuch, as long as you are obedient, Emperor Chongzhen will still dare to let it go.

This is because Emperor Chongzhen is not afraid of eunuchs at all.

Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen had reason to believe that every emperor of the Ming Dynasty wanted to have a eunuch party.

And this is the root cause.

Of course, the deity didn't understand, so he was cold, and Daming was also cold.

Speaking of which, although the perfect imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty provided an opportunity for the lower class to advance to the rank of scholar and doctor, this opportunity was very slim for the poor.

Most of them were still occupied by the former scholar class, because they had good conditions.

Being able to afford to read is a relatively luxurious measure, because the price of cultivating an intellectual is not something that every family can afford.

Due to clan relations, when they achieved the status of scholars, they had already formed a huge political force.

Most of the members of the eunuch party were born at the bottom, entered the palace at a very young age, and without the power of the heir clan, their status will only exist for a while, and they will not accumulate power like the Donglin Party.

The most important thing is that the power of the eunuch party definitely comes from the emperor.

Every time there was a change of emperor, the leader of the eunuch party would change someone close to the emperor.

Therefore, the eunuch party can gain power for a while, but the Donglin party Shidafu group can gain power for a lifetime.

For example, now, when Emperor Chongzhen is on the throne, he will definitely be able to ensure that the power of the old king will remain unchanged.

But if he wants to be replaced by the crown prince Zhu Cihong, Lao Wang is bound to step down.

Because Zhu Cihong will definitely let the eunuchs around him take power.

It's as simple as that.

Originally, eunuchs, military generals, and civil officials were the three original political balance points of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that due to the change of Tumubao, the Ming military general system was devastated, so that the political power of the imperial court was only civil officials and eunuchs.

In this way, the political balance of power is broken.

This also greatly deepened the degree of struggle between the eunuchs and the civil officials, so the Donglin Party, which made Daming cool and cool, was born.

By the time the Apocalypse ascended the throne, the Donglin Party was too powerful, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse had to release Wei Zhongxian and give the eunuchs a lot of power to maintain political balance.

And the history books say that Wei Gelding's wanton persecution of the Donglin Party is actually the result that the Emperor of the Apocalypse is willing to see.

Unfortunately, this balance was upset after the deity ascended the throne.

The moment when the deity took the eunuch party, it was not to take back the power of the government, but to surrender the power of the government to the Donglin Party.

At this point, the Donglin Party was dominant, and began to reveal the pedantry and darkness behind the clear stream, becoming a dark sword on the neck of the Ming Dynasty.

In the years when the Donglin Party was in power, it was difficult for the DPRK and China to appear famous ministers in danger to save the country, but instead there were a bunch of political idiots who talked about it and frantically took in rights and interests.

To tell the truth, the deity is an emperor who wants to do practical things, but in the face of such a group of ministers who used to speak generously and repay the country's kindness, he helplessly found that there was no reliable one among them.

Therefore, withdrawing, killing, and exchanging became the only means for the deity.

It can only be said that he used the wrong method.

Because, even if he changed fifty-one first auxiliary scholars at one time, the essence of the personnel has not changed.

Regardless of whether the first assistant who came to power was a member of the Donglin Party or not, no one dared to confront the powerful Donglin Party anymore.

It's really hard to scream alone!

Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen crossed over, in addition to using the means of withdrawing, killing, and exchanging the deity, he also adopted his own method of cultivating talents to replace them.

There is no way, if you want to keep the Ming Dynasty and the Han family, you must completely eliminate the Donglin Party.

In the eyes of these Donglin parties, there is only oneself and no country.

The Ming court died, and then the master was changed, they were still officials, and they still held the ruling power of the entire country.

Historically, didn't they do just that?

You see, most of those who surrendered to Jiannu were Donglin Party members, and there was almost no one in the Eunuch Party.

In the face of the invaders' swords and guns, these people have forgotten their courtesy, righteousness and shame, and their integrity is not as good as that of an ordinary person, but they are complacent and praise Jiannu.

Alas, shame!

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen also understood that as an emperor, his enemy was not a Donglin Party.

It can only be said that they are one of the important enemies.

Jiangnan is the richest region in the world, and the level of productivity has reached a considerable level.

The silk, porcelain, and tea produced are exchanged for a large amount of silver from Europe and Japan every year, which can make a poor country like Daming achieve the silver standard.

Now, on the one hand, the treasury is empty, and on the other hand, the wealth is concentrated in the huge room.

Jiangnan has all the money, food, and wealth that can sustain the empire's life, but under the existing imperial system, it is impossible to collect it.

Well, the only way to do this is to break it with your own hands.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen was very confident.

Legally speaking, Emperor Chongzhen is the only surviving son of Emperor Taichang, there is no queen mother, no brother, if he is determined to be a tyrant, no one can stop him under the Ming system.

Just keep a close watch over a few young sons and the crown prince, and don't let the Donglin Party rob them.

Daming is going to be cold, do I still care about being Yang Guang and the king of Zhou?

In addition, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen had already begun to prepare for the formation of a military government.

Big fists make sense.

If he wanted to save the country with iron and blood, Emperor Chongzhen had to give up the existing system and put aside the civil service system to become the biggest warlord.

Turn the army of the Ming Dynasty into his own private soldiers, turn himself from the emperor of the bureaucracy into the emperor of the big-headed soldiers, and truly establish the imperial guard army directly under himself.

With the backing of force, they did not hesitate to kill, and they also wanted to cancel the tax-free privileges of the gentry in the imperial examination.

Separate the bureaucrats from the merchant capitalists as much as possible, and then foster new interest groups and closely integrate their interests.

The Imperial Elite has effectively transformed into protectors of their interests, and to this end they will not hesitate to suppress all resistance, and then rebuild a new imperial order.

For Emperor Chongzhen, he had to treat Jiangnan as England, and himself as the Cromwell of the East, acting as the protector and spokesman of the new factory owners and capitalists.

The sword of the ** team of the Emperor Daming is aimed at the gentry and the rich who are sitting on the wealth of the world and refuse to take it out to save the country, not the small people.

This is to really keep the Chinese Celestial Empire from falling behind the times, not just to save the Ming Dynasty and save the Zhu family, and to prolong the life of the world.

These are the schemes that Emperor Chongzhen crossed over, and they are also the direction he is striving for.

It can be said that everything he has done in the past six months has been carried out around this goal.

Of course, at the moment no one can understand his intentions.

The courtiers only knew that he was stimulated because the imperial tomb was excavated, and his personality changed, and he strictly investigated corruption and strengthened the army, and wanted to revitalize the Ming Dynasty.

And corruption is always politically correct.

Without that official, he would have fought against Chongzhen and Chongzhen without the name of righteousness.

Therefore, during this time, the officials in the court finally chose to avoid it, just hoping to escape the dragon claws of Emperor Chongzhen.

I don't know......

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled happily and said to the old king beside him: "Companion, you go and make arrangements, I will inspect the Beijing camp tomorrow." ”

The army is always the thing that Emperor Chongzhen values the most, and he goes around every once in a while to deepen his feelings.

"Emperor, the old slave has gone down."

Lao Wang saw that Emperor Chongzhen had finished explaining, and he didn't say anything again for a long time, and leaned over to leave.
