"Li Aiqing, even if Liu Mao's strategy is a little inappropriate, why do you shout and kill?" Zhu Youzhen said.

"Your Majesty, it is hateful for the magnates to bully the post boys, but if the factory guards are released, the consequences will be even more serious!" Li Banghua said with a very serious expression.

"The factory guards relied on their power to oppress the people, framed the crime and framed them, how many people in Beijing were forced to go bankrupt by the factory guards, and how many people dared to be angry and dare not speak! However, because of their special status, even Shuntianfu has nothing to do with them. The evil of factory guards is known to the world! ”

"If Your Majesty releases the factory guards out of Beijing again, the local government has no right to dispose of the factory guards, it will inevitably be a disaster for the locality, hundreds of people will be bullied by it, and countless people will go bankrupt, and the disaster will be far more serious than the oppression of the powerful and the elite! Therefore, Liu Mao's move is very harmful and poisonous, but it is really ill-intentioned! The old minister suggested that Liu Mao be killed! ”

In the eyes of a clear stream like Li Banghua, a brutal spy agency like the factory guard should not exist in the first place, how can it be tolerated to rely on the rapid growth of the world's post station?

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Liu Mao for his reckless behavior!"

"Your Majesty, please dismiss Liu Mao and demote him from the capital division!"

With Li Banghua's words, other civil officials also stood up, and for a while, most of the civil officials shouted and shouted at Liu Mao, even many of Liu Mao's former colleagues in the Inspectorate were no exception.

At the beginning of its establishment, Jinyiwei took it as its responsibility to control the lawless ministers, and its main task was to monitor the officials. During the Hongwu years, when Jinyiwei was the most powerful, every move of officials was monitored, and many people were arrested and imprisoned by Jinyiwei for inadvertently saying the wrong thing.

So from the very beginning, Jinyiwei and the civil officials were naturally opposed! No official wants to be watched by the Jinyi Guard, and no one wants to be arrested and imprisoned without a judicial trial.

After Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, the civil officials united and tried to take advantage of Zhu Youzhen's elimination of Wei Zhongxian to persuade Zhu Youzhen to depose Dongchang and reduce the power of Jinyiwei, but they did not succeed.

I didn't expect that now Liu Mao would actually want to incorporate the post station into the Jinyiwei system, which is tantamount to expanding the eyes and ears of Jinyiwei to the whole country, how can they allow it?

What's even more infuriating is that Liu Mao, as the imperial historian, should have been hostile to Jinyiwei, but now he is expanding the authority of Jinyiwei for the reform of the post station, how can they not be angry?

Under the siege of all officials, Liu Mao's face was bloodless, but he still stood stubbornly. Because he had predicted this from the beginning.

"Enough!" Zhu Youzhen shouted angrily, and the hall quieted down.

"Liu Mao is just talking about things, even if the measures he offers are inappropriate, there is no need to shout and kill! On the contrary, some people have no plan when they encounter things, what face do they have to attack others? Zhu Youzhen said sarcastically.

Li Banghua took a deep breath, his expression calmed down, and he still insisted: "Your Majesty, Weichen has lost his honor in front of him, please punish Your Majesty." But Liu Mao's method is by no means usable! ”

Zhu Youzhen said lightly: "Whether it is available or not, you can discuss it slowly." In my opinion, Liu Mao's method is not bad. ”

"Your Majesty!" Li Banghua was suddenly anxious.

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand: "You let me finish speaking!" The method proposed by Liu Mao can indeed solve the problem of Yicheng Yiding being oppressed by the powerful. But it also brings new troubles, and Yicheng may act recklessly because of the special status of Jinyiwei, which will cause trouble for the place. In that case, why can't we come up with a way to get the best of both worlds? ”

"What's the best of both worlds?" Li Banghua couldn't help asking.

Zhu Youzhen thought for a while: "In this way, you can rely on the post station system to set up a brocade guard, which is separated from the original brocade guard and does not belong to each other." The Jinyi Wei guards do not have the power to enforce the law and arrest, nor are they allowed to interfere in local affairs, but they have the power to report the news.

In the provinces to set up a thousand Jinyi guards, each post station can be a hundred, the post station is subject to the dual management of the Jinyi guard and the local government. If there are foreign guards in brocade clothes who try to oppress the people, the local government can punish them according to the law, and report to the court afterwards. And if the powerful bully the post guards and privately occupy the resources of the post station, the brocade guards have the right to refuse and report to the imperial court.

If something unexpected happens in various provinces and localities, it is the responsibility of the Jinyi guards to quickly report to the imperial court through the post station system, so that the imperial court can also be deaf and clear. ”

The more Zhu Youzhen spoke, the more fluent he became, and a system that relied on the perfection of the post station gradually formed in his mouth, and at the same time had the functions of post, logistics, and monitoring places, if it were not for the experience of soul travel for 400 years, he would never have thought of such a way.

And the more the ministers listened, the more shocked they became, obviously feeling that something was wrong, but they couldn't think of a reason to oppose it for a while.

The brocade guards set up by Zhu Youzhen not only solved the problem of the post station, but also basically did not cause trouble to the place, and even better, most of the Jinyi guards were composed of post guards, which would not bring more additional expenses to the imperial court, and would even save a lot of money.

From the point of view of solving the problem, the establishment of the brocade guard is impeccable, but from then on, every move of the local government is in the eyes and ears of the brocade guard, and the local government and the squires want to make a deceptive move, I am afraid it will not be easy, how can many civil officials accept it?

"Your Majesty, this move is inappropriate, and it is not in line with the ancestral system at all." Huang Liji sighed and took the lead in making his position clear.

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Huang Liji and said lightly: "If everything is according to the ancestral system, how can the cabinet elders have the current power?" ”

Huang Liji was suddenly speechless.

Yes, if it is really according to the ancestral system, the cabinet is just the emperor's secretarial body, only for the emperor's consultation, where is the power that is now like the prime minister?

"Your Majesty, this matter is too big and involves too many people, so you need to act carefully." Shi Fenglai also had to stand up.

Shi Fenglai really wants to be the first assistant, but it doesn't mean that he will sell everything for the first assistant. It is the tradition of the Ming Dynasty that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, if the brocade guards are really established, every move is in the eyes of the emperor, and the gentry may no longer be reckless in the countryside, thinking about the interests of the gentry as a whole, Shi Fenglai has to stand up.

"Your Majesty, please proceed with caution." More and more civilian officials have come forward to express their opposition to the establishment of the Jinyi Foreign Guard.

"What do you think, British duke?" There were so many people who opposed it, and Zhu Youzhen couldn't go his own way, and he needed someone to support him, so he looked at the queue of military attachés.

"Your Majesty, the brocade guard is really beneficial to the country and the people, and the ministers support it!" The British bluff stood up and expressed his support for the emperor.

"The minister also supports the establishment of the brocade guard!" Chengguo Gong Zhu Chunchen also stood up.

"The minister also supports!" Next is Xu Xigao, the Duke of Dingguo.

"The minister also supports it." Xiangcheng Bo, Huaiyuan Marquis and other nobles all stood up and expressed their support for the emperor.

On the one hand, there were civil officials who opposed the integration of the post station to establish a Jinyi foreign guard, and on the other hand, there were military generals and nobles who supported the emperor, and the two sides of the palace and Chinese and military forces were opposed.
