Chapter 288: Zhu Yuanzhang: Zhu Di is a rebel
Zhu Di took a deep breath, felt some depression in his chest, and asked, "Why do you think that the East Factory will definitely rot?"
Zhu Gaoxian said firmly: "Because the East Factory is composed of eunuchs, grandpa once made it clear that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, Dad, have you forgotten this stubble? Grandpa is right, from the perspective of the sons, the Dongchang that is in power by the eunuchs will not be more than twenty years at most, and it will rot to the bones and become a piece of rotten flesh that grows on Daming's body."
Zhu Di didn't understand: "Listen to your tone, the rot of Dongchang is rotten on the eunuchs, why do you have such radical thoughts about eunuchs, do you know who the commander of Dongchang I appointed?"
Zhu Gaoxian really didn't know, "Who is it?"
"Tang Cheng."
Zhu Di asked rhetorically, "Do you think Tang Cheng will have a problem?"
Zhu Gaoxian shook his head: "If Tang Gong is in charge of the East Factory, I have no opinion."
Although Tang Cheng is also a eunuch, Tang Cheng cannot be compared with ordinary eunuchs.
Although he is in a high position, he is not greedy for money, not lustful, does not love power, and does not form a party, which is in stark contrast to the stereotype of eunuchs by ordinary people. If Tang Chenglai is in charge of the East Factory, there is no problem.
For Zhu Di, Tang Cheng is like Lu Chaoyang next to Zhu Gaoxian, loyal, cruel, and efficient, and he is the most suitable person for doing dirty work.
"That's it."
Zhu Di shrugged his shoulders and said, "Although I don't know why you have such paranoid thoughts about eunuchs, the truth is that eunuchs can also be used, and eunuchs are also the most trustworthy, such as Zheng He, such as Tang Cheng, these eunuchs are more worthy of use than courtiers."
When he fought the world, some eunuchs and monks made efforts, such as Yao Guangxiao and Zheng He, so in his heart, eunuchs were still relatively reliable.
Zhu Gaoxian asked, "Apart from these two, which eunuch is worth using?"
Zhu Di was embarrassed.
In addition to Zheng He, a hexagonal warrior, it seems that only Tang Chengneng has been entrusted with the important task.
None of the remaining eunuchs could be named.
Zhu Gaoxian said faintly: "The eunuchs are reliable, because they are tied to the same boat with the palace, the emperor is prosperous, the eunuchs are prosperous, everything they are given by the imperial power, if the emperor wants to take back their power, no matter how prominent they are in front of people, how arrogant they are, in front of the imperial power, their so-called power is like a paper lake, it will be broken when poked, but it is just a lamb to be slaughtered."
It is true that even though it was the famous nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian in later generations, who seemed to be in power and did whatever he wanted, everything he had was given by Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse. In front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian was nothing more than a tool he used to restrain his imperial power.
When Wei Zhongxian was needed, he was nine thousand years old, and when he was not needed, he was a reptile that could be crushed to death at any time.
After Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, Wei Zhongxian's light strokes made Wei Zhongxian disappear.
He said, "Dad, have you ever thought that there can be several eunuchs like Zheng He and Tang Cheng? Eunuchs are rootless people, they are helpless, and the only thing that can bring them a sense of security is power and profit. Whether it is power or interests, if the eunuchs want to get these two things, the only thing they can rely on is the imperial power, so they will desperately go to the emperor and grovel like a pug."
But throughout the ages, which dynasty that reused eunuchs did not suffer from it?"
The Western Han Dynasty took the isolation of the Qin Dynasty royal family as a lesson, and sealed the princes with the same surname, and at the end of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, they were usurped by their relatives. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huan Ling pulled up the eunuchs to warm up their relatives, and then the eunuchs were honored in the south, and the eunuchs entered the Taimiao, opening up an unprecedented situation!"
The Tang Dynasty, where the eunuchs controlled the Shence Army, since Li Fuguo, the power was overwhelming, and the emperor was abolished in a few thoughts, Tang Shunzong who was forced to the palace, Tang Xianzong who was poisoned, Tang Jingzong who was killed, Tang Wenzong who was hijacked during the Manna Change, Tang Xizong who was forced to call the eunuch his father, the late Tang Dynasty is almost a history of blood and tears of the emperor!"
Since ancient times, kings and ministers have been two opposing characters.
The relationship between the monarch's courtiers and the two is to play with each other and fight with each other, and the monarch hopes that the courtiers can follow
The family dog is as obedient, the courtiers hope that the monarch can be honestly a mascot, this is a conflict, who may also be convinced, even if there is a demon monarch who can use his divine means to control the ministers for a short time, after his death, there is always a possibility that his future monarchs will also be like him is a demon.
This antagonistic relationship has lasted for thousands of years, and has been the same for all dynasties.
In the struggle for power, the monarch and the minister have their own advantages.
The monarch is the supreme person in the concept and legal system, the monarch's power is divine, the monarch's words are oracles, and disobedience to the monarch is a great rebellion against the mandate of heaven.
The courtiers persistently hope to restrain the imperial power, and then hope that the monarch can give up the imperial power and let the courtiers govern the world.
The monarch symbolizes "quality" and the courtier symbolizes "quantity", so the emperor is also called "the loner", he is the enemy of the whole world alone.
The monarch felt that since I was the mandate of heaven, I should have the final say.
The courtiers think, "If you want to rule the world, you must use us."
Therefore, for a long time, the courtier was actually in an invincible position.
In order to cope with this situation, the monarch had to look for foreign help:
- Clan.
But then it turned out that the problem was huge...... It's all a person with a surname, in case he has a lot of power, it is even greater than the threat brought by the courtiers, and the courtiers are just putting the monarch in the air, and the clan really dares to rebel.
For the clan, once he gains great power, he will find a problem: kill the monarch, and he will be able to inherit the throne logically.
This Nima is also too terrifying, the monarch feels that the clan is definitely not usable, but if you don't find foreign aid, you can't beat the ministers at all, so you can only choose foreign aid: relatives and nobles.
But both have their drawbacks.
Nobles and relatives are easy to get rid of, and they are also easy to collude with courtiers.
Wang Mang is the most typical negative teaching material, the reason why this benevolent brother was able to ascend to the throne, in addition to the most important natural advantage of his relative's identity, is closely related to his impeccable conduct. When the Wang family bathed in the emperor's grace up and down and enjoyed his life, Wang Mang was willing to stay poor, subsidize the disadvantaged, and devote himself to learning and enlightenment.
As soon as the emperor saw that this brother could, he would definitely be able to succeed if he was so self-disciplined, so he would use him.
Wang Mang really succeeded, he not only suppressed the emperor's enemies, but also suppressed the emperor, and by the way, he usurped the throne and became the emperor himself.
The monarch, who had learned the lesson, realized that his relatives and nobles were not credible, but foreign aid was always to be found, and the monarch chose eunuchs.
Hello eunuch.
First, eunuchs and courtiers were on the same page.
Second, the eunuch is the emperor's domestic slave, and the people around him can rest assured.
Third, there is a high probability that the eunuchs will not rebel - because there are no descendants.
"In this world, there is no absolutely reliable thing, and there is no absolutely reliable person."
Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Although eunuchs also have great hidden dangers, compared to the clans, relatives, and nobles, eunuchs are already very reliable."
He listened to what Zhu Gaoxian said, and simulated him once when the Ming Dynasty went from strength to decline, and he couldn't be more aware of the harm that eunuchs interfered in politics to the Ming Dynasty.
Even so, he still had to do it.
Because he has no other choice, compared to others, the eunuch is already a tall man among the short people, and they are all rotten people, so choose the best one from the rotten people.
Zhu Di sighed: "You understand my hardship, and I also understand your worries, we are both for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, you have to rely on me for this matter."
Zhu Gaoxian thought about it, and his attitude was indeed a little aggressive.
The emperor has just set up the East Factory, and he is now calling the door to force the old man to revoke the East Factory, where does this make the emperor's face? What would the courtiers think?
Zhu Gaoxian retreated and said, "Dad, it's okay according to your wishes, but you also have to rely on me for one thing."
Zhu Dilong's face stretched: "Cheng, as long as you don't."
When it comes to abolishing the East Factory, I promise you ten things, you can say it."
Zhu Gaoxian thought for a while and said, "The most critical question, as I said before, is that the existence of Dongchang is in conflict with the existence of Jinyiwei, they are doing the same errand, but it is obvious that compared to Jinyiwei, Dongchang is more favored, and in the long run, Jinyiwei will inevitably become a vassal of Dongchang. At that time, Jinyiwei will lose the necessity of existence, and Dongchang will become a tail that cannot be shaken off."
Zhu Di was slightly displeased: "Listening to what you mean, you still want to revoke the East Factory?"
"No, I just think that if you want Dongchang and Jinyiwei to have no disputes, you have to separate their roles, and I have thought of four principles."
Zhu Gaoxian said, "First, Dongchang's actions can be secret, such as assassinating the king of a certain country, and they are not bound by law or morality. And the actions of the Jinyi Guard are to uphold the majesty of the law."
Second, Jinyiwei can carry out inspections and arrests in Daming, but Dongchang does not have this authority."
Thirdly, the operations of the East Factory are mainly military, while the main duties of Jinyiwei are to fight crime and supervise officials in the territory."
All in all, Dongchang is an institution that Daming put outside the customs to deal with other countries, and it is a sharp blade that kills people without seeing blood and hides in the dark. And the agency set up in China to deal with officials in the country, in addition to doing dirty work, also has the identity of a law enforcer."
Zhu Gaoxian must admit that he plagiarized Americaka's idea. Although Americaka's creativity itself has a problem, is Daming okay? It is impossible to make a perfect system in the feudal era.
Anyway, there are still more than 300 years before the founding of America, and more than 300 years, the Ming Dynasty has already planted the sun and moon flag in North America, where is there anything about America.
Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this: "Is this still called Dongchang?"
He set up the East Factory to check and balance the Jinyi Guards and to monitor the officials.
As a result, Zhu Gaoxian changed it like this, good guy, and threw it directly to Dongchang outside the gate, how can this change beyond recognition? This hasn't changed except for the name, and everything else has changed!
"Dad, Da Ming, it's not your Da Ming, it's not my Da Ming."
Zhu Gaoxian said calmly, "Da Ming, it is the Da Ming of the world, for Da Ming, nothing is impossible, if Da Ming needs me to die, then I can kill myself with a knife now."
He was already very skeptical of the old man's thoughts, if it weren't for the old man's face, he would have revoked the existence of the East Factory in less than three days.
But scruples do not mean bottomless tolerance.
If the old man wants to do whatever he wants, Zhu Gaoxian doesn't mind letting his father retire early.
……
"Damn, we have long said that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, no one listens, and they all take what we say as a fart!"
In the world in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang had a toothache.
As a cloth emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang has a strong desire to control power, he will never allow anyone to threaten the emperor's power, in his mind, the emperor should be like him, one person can solve everything, in addition, the rest are the emperor's tools. Especially for eunuchs, Lao Zhu is even more strict against stubbornness, and explicitly tells future generations to be vigilant against eunuchs interfering in politics.
Under his majesty, the eunuchs of the Hongwu Dynasty were honest and did not want to, not only did they not dare to talk to the ministers privately on weekdays, but they also did not dare to go out of the palace to buy farmland, and they had a little intersection with local officials.
However, he never expected that only a few years after he died, the eunuch would begin to come back from the dead.
Zhu Di, you are really damned!
"Grandpa, don't get excited, don't get excited!"
Zhu Gaoxian saw that Lao Zhu was so anxious that he rushed out to beat someone, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "My father is also thinking about Daming, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."
[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]
said angrily: "It's against him, he doesn't even put our words in his ears, good for him Zhu Di, he was honest when we were still in the past, we haven't been for a few years, he just floated his feet off the ground, don't stop us, we have to fan him two *** pockets to make him sober and sober!"
Zhu Gaoxian was shocked: "I can't help it, grandpa, if you use my body to slap my father, won't this become a big rebellion?" What do you still make my dad think of me?"
"What a bullshit rebellion, it's only right for a father to beat his son!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "If he dares to say a word, we will kill him on the spot!"
Zhu Gaoxian stopped for a while, which calmed down the angry old Zhu.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath: "Actually, let's think about it now, Zhu Di, a rebel, is not bad, and we are also a little obsessed. Not all the emperors of the Zhu family can be like us, one person can deal with everyone, among the emperors of the Zhu family in later generations, there are always some ordinary people who are not smart, and if they want the emperor to firmly grasp the power, they have to find some help from outsiders."
However, Zhu Di, a rebel, is not as deep as you think, he is using eunuchs to gather imperial power to suppress the ministers, and what you think about is how to suppress the eunuchs while suppressing the ministers."
Lao Zhu's vision of things has always been unique and accurate, and after the peak and loop turned bright, he saw at a glance that his previous thoughts were too blind.
He had only seen the situation of eunuchs in previous dynasties interfering in politics and harming the country and the people, but he never thought that not everyone was an omnipotent Zhu Yuanzhang.
