Chapter Ninety-One--The Rich Rival the Country
The education that Zhengde received from childhood to adulthood was how to be a good emperor.
It is necessary to tolerate the occasional loyalty of the courtiers, because the courtiers who dare to speak up are all loyal ministers, and as the emperor himself, he can't let them break his heart.
There has never been a day when someone has analyzed the reasons why they had an accident last time in such a simple way.
It is even more worthless to refute the classic saying that the king and the scholar rule the world together, which has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Thinking that the emperor is the emperor and the courtiers are the courtiers must not be confused.
If the emperor is strong, just like Taizu Taizong, then any scholar is a bullshit, and vice versa. What happened two years ago is a case in point.
Even if he is the emperor, the civil official group says that if he wants to die, he must die!
As some civil officials often say to themselves, if they continue to mess around, the world will be in chaos, and they strongly advise themselves to handle government affairs in the palace honestly, and they don't even have to go out of the palace gate......
The explanation of this Zhang Daochang in front of him is one sentence, Taizu Taizong is more nonsense than you, why haven't you seen the chaos in the world?
Just such a sentence, but like a bolt of lightning, pierced the darkness in Zhengde's mind!
Previously, Zhang Yun said a lot of bitter words...... But none of them can compare to this sentence.
At this moment, Zhengde finally came to his senses, Taizu Taizong killed the minister if he didn't agree with him, and there was no chaos in the world, just because they had military power. Whoever dares to make trouble will be punished by the nine clans. And when it's your turn, it's the other way around......
"Hey......"
Zhengde let out a long sigh, ignoring the horrified eyes of the eunuchs behind him, and bowed to Zhang Yunshen. And said: "Thank you Zhang Daochang for teaching me the way of being a king today, how much Daochang Zhang's words helped me, I can't say it, I just feel as if only today is alive, and I used to be a mess......
Zhang Yun shook his head. Licked the lips that were dry. Finally nodded in satisfaction.
Compared to the self-righteous Emperor Chongzhen, but in fact, he has no ability at all.
The Emperor Zhengde in front of him didn't know how many streets to dump him. In such a short period of time, I deeply understood the deep meaning of the phrase "power comes out of the barrel of a gun"!
And Zhengde saw Zhang Yun nodding, obviously quite recognizing himself. I was also a little excited for a while. But then he thought that the civilian clique still existed, and he was powerless. I couldn't help but ask eagerly.
"Since Daochang Zhang has taught me the way to be a king, I wonder if I can point out another sunny avenue?"
Speaking of this, Zhengde suddenly lowered his voice, and leaned into Zhang Yun's ear and spit out a few words......
After hearing this, Zhang Yun had a strange look on his face, and asked very strangely: "Hasn't the emperor read the Zizhi Tongjian and history books at all?" ”
"How did Tang Xuanzong rise the Tang Dynasty, how did Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu rise the Han Dynasty, etc., it should be written in the history books, does the emperor still need to ask about the poor Dao?"
Zhang Yun's question made Zhengde very embarrassed, as if he seemed to be so unlearned and unskilled, but it was a pity that he really didn't know how to deal with the civilian-official group that had been formed. So I had to continue to ask in a low voice.
"Don't talk about these big truths, everyone understands these big truths, and I understand them, but it's a pity that now I don't know how to deal with the civil official group that has been formed, so don't you just ask the chief."
"Dao Chief, just say a word, what should I do?"
Zhang Yun looked at Zhengde with a strange expression, and his heart was a little incredible. They had already told him who the enemy was, but he didn't know what to do. There are people like that!
Like Emperor Chongzhen, he didn't believe that the civilian clique was his enemy at all, or he always had a fluke mentality......
This made Zhang Yun feel that Zhu Yuanzhang was a hero, why did he give birth to such a group of wonderful descendants?
But thinking about it like this, Zhang Yun can't say the same. So he could only speak: "The civil official group has now taken shape, and if you want to completely eliminate their influence in the world, then you can only abolish the imperial examination system." ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Yun frowned when he saw Zhengde, and knew that this method could not be implemented, so he hurriedly continued.
"But this method will definitely not work, because this is against the landlord class of the whole world, unless it is the resurrection of Taizu, it is still possible, the emperor, you still can't do it now."
"Therefore, we can find some ways to weaken their influence, for example, doesn't there be an unspoken rule for civil servants, who are not allowed to enter the cabinet unless they are first-class jinshi?"
"Your Majesty, you can do the opposite, and put those officials who are hung at the end of the jinshi, such as more than 200 jinshi, and promote them in a big way during this period of time, and select the capable people among them to enter the cabinet."
"At the same time, for those officials who were born as first-class jinshi, as long as they are over fifty years old, the emperor will try to make them immediately abdicate the throne and go home to retire......"
"Although the civil official group is very powerful, and now they are almost able to control the entire world, even the emperor you have to bow your head, but the emperor you have to believe that there is no corner in this world that cannot be dug down, as long as you swing your hoe well, such a combination of punches out, you dare to guarantee that soon the emperor will be able to see the results!"
Zhang Yun smiled when he heard this, and thought about the scenery of the world after he really took power.
But then Zhengde reacted again, and said with a bitter face: "Daoist, you don't know, although these strategies of yours are very good, they are not practical, because as long as I do this, those civil officials will definitely jump out and threaten to resign en masse, won't I be blind at that time?" ”
Zhang Yun shook his head when he heard this, and continued to explain patiently: "Not to mention how many scholars in the world want to be officials, how many scholars are about to go crazy, Your Majesty, you only need to open Enke a few times, and you can interpret the alliance between scholars and completely solve the influence of the collective resignation of hundreds of officials." ”
"Let's just talk about the Taizu period, isn't Taizu messing around? Kill this today, punish that tomorrow, and even be unhappy, and find someone to come out to punish him of the nine clans, but which one dare to mention the resignation of the official? Those civil officials don't even dare to let out a fart! ”
"So in the final analysis, it is still the emperor who wants you to control the military power, which is also the main purpose of Poor Dao inviting you out of the palace to come here today."
When Zhang Yun said this, he ignored Zhengde anymore, but grabbed his sleeve and went to the treasure house he hid in the belly of the mountain......
Zhengde was a little unclear, but he trusted Zhang Yun a lot, and he didn't resist along the way!
After Zhang Yun opened the treasure house he had accumulated for two years, Zhengde was instantly dumbfounded.
After reacting, his mouth kept repeating it. "Rich and Rival ......"
