Chapter 7: The Holy Child King VII

Isn't it not a balance that the average official does not understand what the ruler really means by doing so?

This is definitely quite a bad behavior for the emperor, why should the ruler do this? Zhang Juzheng once did a deep analysis with Qin Tai because of this problem, and finally came to the conclusion that the ruler was too smart.

First, military generals have military power in their hands, and once they make trouble, the small ones will affect local public order, and if the big ones make trouble, they will shake the foundation of the country.

Therefore, the barracks cannot be chaotic, and local officials need to suppress the situation when necessary. This requires giving local officials a certain amount of authority, and the best way to do this is to curb the cost of the barracks and give the local officials responsibility for the supply of the army.

In this way, the officers did not dare to disrespect the local officials, and the soldiers did not dare to make trouble at every turn. Second, military generals are all big and coarse, they love to get angry and make trouble, and they are easy to take out weapons and do things at every turn.

If these professionals are not contained, these people will be more like bandits than bandits once they rob their homes.

In order to prevent infighting between the armies and the soldiers in the barracks harassing the common people and causing things that are not good for the reputation of the imperial court, it is necessary to control their command.

Putting command in the hands of local officials and letting local officials and officers restrain each other will not only be conducive to the management of the armed forces, but will also prevent some things from happening.

Third, the treatment and income of military generals are obviously not as much as that of civilian officials, and in order to prevent some people from provoking contradictions between civilian and military officials, they simply let military generals completely bow their heads to civilian officials, so as not to have trouble in the future.

Fourth, military generals stationed in various places will inevitably come into contact with some imperial relatives. In order to prevent these generals from secretly supporting a certain imperial relative and affecting the emperor's position, it was stipulated that the military generals should not only obey the command of local civil officials, but also not be allowed to marry the emperor's relatives in private.

Fifth, some generals are particularly bold, and once they have a thief's heart and want to rebel, it is not easy to be controlled immediately.

In order to prevent

When something like the "Chenqiao Mutiny" happens, it is better to use civilian officials to suppress military generals. It is not that civil officials will not rebel, but they are not only afraid of death but also fear of damaging their reputation, so they are less likely to rebel.

Sixth, and most importantly, the point. Civilian officials have gradually surpassed military generals, and military generals can no longer be compared with civilian officials, both in terms of position and function.

It would be better to simply hand over power to the civilian officials at once, which would not only be crisp but also beneficial to the ruler.

Civil officials have internal contradictions, and they are not too close to each other, and it can be said that party disputes have never been broken.

It is better to magnify the power and deepen the contradictions between them, as long as the civil infighting is more intense, the better it will be for the rulers.

The ruler, that is, the emperor, can not only see the true face of the ministers clearly, but also win over some people and poach some resources and rights.

It's such a great idea, it's a perfect turnaround. It not only solved the fundamental problem of military generals, but also divided the civil officials and consolidated the imperial power, while also secretly piercing the nails into the civil officials.

When Zhang Juzheng told Qin Tai about these analyses, Qin Tai smiled bitterly at the time. Qin Tai was thinking about how to solve the case and how to improve the lives of the people, while these big men were thinking about how to fight and seize power.

Don't these big people have their families, countries, the world, the country, the society, and the people in their hearts? Isn't it interesting to only know infighting and calculating others?

Although Zhang Juzheng once explained at that time, he said that only when he had authority in his hands could he think about other things and consider the affairs of the common people.

But Qin Tai was very suspicious of Zhang Juzheng's words, being a waiter of the Criminal Department was not big enough, and he was not qualified or energetic to take care of the affairs of the common people.

In the future, he will be a squire of the Ministry of War, a secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and even a member of the cabinet will have the energy to manage the people?

When you become a squire and want to be a scholar, you want to be a cabinet elder when you become a scholar, and you want to be the first assistant of the cabinet when you become a cabinet elder, even if you become a cabinet chief assistant?

If you are not satisfied, you will not have time to think about other things in your life. At this time, Qin Tai found that Zhang Juzheng had changed, Zhang Juzheng was no longer an aspiring young man, but had become a politician, a person full of politics.

Fortunately, Zhang Juzheng didn't think of money, and he didn't want to use his power to make money, otherwise Qin Tai would definitely be with this friend

"Cut off the robe and cut off the righteousness". Because the military generals are no longer in the climate, and the reputation of the internal officials is too bad, the power of the civil officials has almost controlled the entire imperial court.

The so-called imperial court is actually the world of civil officials, the highest yamen is the cabinet, and the highest official is the cabinet chief.

After the civil officials took control of the imperial court, they were divided into several types according to their functions. The first type is the officials above the third rank, these people actually control the imperial court, and each has their own territory and authority.

Generally speaking, these high-ranking officials are called

"Big", at this level, only the power in the hand is the size of the hand, there is no regional difference. They are either in charge of a province, or they control a department, or they are in control of a certain secret, and their authority is enviable, and their status is eye-catching; The second is:

Although their status is not high, they have a dazzling privilege, and they can directly report to the emperor, from the cabinet chief assistant to the Li Min's pawns, they can report or raise suspicions.

The vast majority of officials do not like this kind of person, and not every official is very clean. Everyone is calling these officials behind their backs

"Mad Dog", when Yan Song was in power, the official became a weapon for the Yan family to falsely accuse political opponents, and his reputation was particularly bad; The third type is the local officials, collectively called

"Exiled officials". The promotion of these people is relatively slow, and generally speaking, it is very likely that they will reach the point after these two terms.

However, because of this, these officials have no worries and are engaged in corruption and bribery. That's it

"Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion 100,000 snowflakes of silver." said. It can be seen that local officials, especially when the chief executive, have a lot of oil and water; The fourth type is the Jingguan.

Jingguan refers to the officials who serve in the six departments and each yamen in the capital. Although these officials have less oil and water, because they are in the capital, they are easy to be reused by the people above.

It is quick to rise to the top and easy to get promoted, so it has become the favorite of some young officials, or ambitious and aspiring officials.

An official like Zhang Juzheng, if he doesn't stay in the capital, he will be the prefect of the county for five or six years at most, and he will be able to go home for the elderly after serving as a prefect.

But Zhang Juzheng was very different, he worked as a powerless and powerless attendant in Yuwangfu in the capital for three or four years, and then worked in the Criminal Department for two years

After the "cold bench", he also became a waiter in the criminal department, and later transferred to the military department, and now he is not only the secretary of the Ministry of Industry but also the deputy assistant of the cabinet, and has become a big man above tens of thousands of people under one or two people.

Therefore, the Beijing official is the passage to the core of power, a shortcut to climb up, and some officials would rather not be promoted than stay in the capital.

In their opinion, it is better to be a county magistrate than to be a small Beijing official in the capital, and after a few years, maybe he can become a prefect, or even release a platform.

At that time, Jinshan Yinhai had everything, and everything was worth it. It is not easy to be a magistrate near the capital, not only as a Beijing official, but also as a magistrate.

In order to highlight the importance of the capital, the local officials of the capital in all dynasties were highly appointed. For example, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the capital was opened, and the Yin of the Kaifeng Mansion was concurrently served by important officials.

At that time, Fu Yin was a third-grade official, but Kaifeng Fu Yin was a second-grade official, which was two levels higher than that of Fu Yin in other places.

The famous Kaifeng Yin Bao Zheng, who was later called Bao Gong, was often the one who was often called

"Hunting on behalf of the sky". In his hand, he not only has the sword of Shang Fang, which is cut first and then played, but also has three large guillotine knives, and often travels around to solve cases.

Therefore, the magistrate of the capital is not comparable to the ordinary magistrate. Just like now, there are five local yamen in the capital, one is Shuntianfu, and there are four county yamen below.

The governor of Shuntian Mansion is the prefect, also known as the Fu Yin, and the prefect of the county government is called the magistrate, also called the county lord. The general prefect has a maximum of five grades, most of them are from the five grades, and the prefects of some small places only have six grades.

The larger county magistrate is the seventh grade, and the smaller county magistrate is the seventh grade. But the magistrates of the capital are different, the prefect of Shuntianfu is from the third grade, and the following county order is from the fifth grade.

Their rank has caught up with the local political envoys and the smaller prefects, which shows how much attention the imperial court attaches to the yamen near the capital.

As long as these officials work here for a few years and do not make major mistakes, they will be transferred to the Sixth Department or sent to other places.

At that time, the prefect of Shuntianfu will be the six servants or the local governor and political envoy, and the following prefects will also become the envoys or Taoist platforms in other places.

If they are favored by a big person, they may be able to enter the upper echelons, or even the cabinet. It is said that the current cabinet Sanfu is the former Shuntianfu Yin, which shows how brilliant the future of these yamen is.

But these officials are not having a good time these days, first of all, the people below have complained one after another, saying that their children are missing.

When one or two children are missing, the officials ignore them, but they are worried. In order not to affect their own future, these officials invariably chose to conceal and not report it.

While trying to cover up these cases and not report them, he secretly sent people to investigate the missing children, but there were no clues at all.

Just when everyone felt helpless, Zhang Juzheng, the second assistant of the cabinet, who is now the real person in charge of the cabinet, ordered everyone to be called to Zhang Juzheng's house.

Don't think that going to Zhang Juzheng's house is easy to do, going to an adult's house may be a good thing or a bad thing.

No, not only were they taught a hard lesson by Zhang Juzheng, but Zhang Juzheng asked them to solve the case as soon as possible, otherwise they would have their heads.

Zhang Juzheng's words are not to scare them, Zhang Juzheng will really kill people. Not long after Zhang Juzheng was the second assistant of the cabinet, he handled several major cases and killed a lot of people, all of whom were cut down and never waited

"Autumn Decision". They don't want to be Zhang Juzheng's next batch

"Chicken", as

The object of "killing chickens and setting an example to monkeys".
