As big as a country or as small as a family, if you want to be the master of the family, you must clarify a core logic, promote more obedient people, continue to suppress the opposition, and unify the ideological level. Only in this way can the internal order be stable. When encountering When problems arise, you can deal with them calmly instead of passively enduring them.

The current problem of the Ming Dynasty is that the high-level ideological level is not unified, and there are too few groups to maintain the emperor's dignity. Various ideas are filled in the court, shouting slogans that the country is the most important, and doing things that the party agrees with and opposes different things, which in turn leads to corruption in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. The gentry colluded to exploit the people, exacerbating class conflicts.

"Your Majesty, headed by Duke Cheng Guo, all the relatives who serve in the Capital Governor's Palace have arrived at Qianqing Palace." Wang Dehua bowed his head slightly and walked into Dongnuan Pavilion, bowing his hands to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Well, ask them all to come in."

Emperor Chongzhen, who was busy at his desk, kept holding the ink pen in his hand and said, now the awarding of rewards has been decided, Emperor Chongzhen has figured out the basic order of the court, and other things will have to be planned slowly.

Inviting Zhu Chunchen and others to come over was one of the plans, and what Emperor Chongzhen wrote at this time was some ideas about restoring Yi Chuan.

The Ming Dynasty's finances have always been out of balance. There are many places where money is needed, but the treasury cannot come up with money. In order to reduce financial expenditures, Emperor Chongzhen was deceived into abolishing post stations. Although this did reduce some expenditures, it also It brought great side effects.

For example, a large number of post soldiers are unemployed, which has a great impact on local stability. Currently, many of the rebel forces in Shanxi and other places are post soldiers who have lost their way of survival.

Secondly, the post station served as a place for people to deliver government documents, military secrets, and officials to come and go for food and accommodation, and to change horses. It was one of the important channels for the imperial court to maintain centralization of power.

Just to reduce some financial expenses, the inns were abolished in a hurry. Not only did they lose a way of controlling the local area, but they also caused chaos in the transmission of information. This is a stupid move that does more harm than good.

Now Emperor Chongzhen must rectify this mess. Although there is no way to avoid the thunder caused by the previous abolition of the post station, if this situation is not reversed as soon as possible, the subsequent harm will only be greater.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

The Jingwei officials headed by Zhu Chunchen walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen who was busy at his desk, but in their hearts they were wondering why the emperor had summoned them.

"Everyone is free of charge."

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to show off Zhu Chunchen and the others. He did not raise his head, but just said something and continued to write down his ideas for the reform of Yi Chuan.

Zhu Chunchen and his entourage, who stood with their hands hanging down, stood quietly. Seeing the emperor so busy, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, what else is the emperor planning to do?

The great court meeting held in the Huangji Hall, Emperor Chongzhen's clear intention to award rewards, and the things that severely frustrated the ministers in the court, Zhu Chunchen and his relatives all had a lot of ideas.

The previous Emperor Chongzhen relied heavily on the civil servants from other dynasties, and would mostly obey the memorials they submitted regarding the governance of the country, as long as they felt feasible.

However, with the previous incident of Jianlu's invasion of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Chunchen and other relatives gradually discovered that the emperor no longer had such an attitude towards the civil servants in the court. On the contrary, they showed a dictatorial side.

Recalling the various decisions made by the emperor's imperial chariot during his personal campaign, such as Zhu Chunchen, Tang Guozuo and other accompanying officials, each one is full of mixed feelings.

"Mr. Cheng Guo, it's been a while since the Jingwei Governor's Palace was established, right?" After waiting for Zhu Chunchen and the others for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen put down his ink pen, looked up at Zhu Chunchen and said, "I want to know, what can the Jingwei Governor's Palace do now? Can you take charge of the imperial city and palace guard affairs?"

What did I do wrong again?

When Emperor Chongzhen asked him this question, Zhu Chunchen's heart tightened and he subconsciously wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say. There was nothing wrong with the Jingwei Governor's Mansion.

"What? Didn't you understand what I said?"

Seeing Zhu Chunchen like this, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "After returning to the court from Banshi, I was busy dealing with important military affairs and did not interfere with the affairs of the capital governor's office.

But how did you become the Left Governor?

Until now, no memorial has been sent to me to explain the situation in the capital governor's palace, or even the personal guards responsible for the imperial city and palace guards. I don't know the specific situation at all.

In addition, the Jingwei Governor's Mansion does not send anyone to take turns with me every day. I would like to ask you, do I set up the Jingwei Governor's Mansion just for decoration?"

"minister……"

Faced with Emperor Chongzhen's questioning, Zhu Chunchen felt panicked. He had indeed not thought of these things. Emperor Chongzhen's previous attitude made Zhu Chunchen feel that the emperor did not trust them, so following the logic of telling the emperor to be out of sight and out of mind, Zhu Chunchen acted honestly. I want to be a transparent person.

But Zhu Chunchen didn't know that in order to check and balance the court and restrict the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen would use the group of relatives who had lost their power.

With the civil fortress turning into a dividing line, the previously powerful Ming Dynasty officials gradually faded away in the court, so that the political ecology that was supposed to be a civil and military check and balance was gradually destroyed by the Ming Dynasty civil servants.

Even the former powerful Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armed Forces was gradually replaced by the Ministry of War controlled by civilian officials, and became a superficial decoration.

From the perspective of the Great Tomorrow, this is not good. This has moved from a situation where the tail is too big to lose, to another situation where the tail is big and cannot be lost.

Although before this, some of the great emperors of the past dynasties also wanted to change this situation, but the final result was not very good.

"Okay, don't think about how to prevaricate me here."

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and scolded: "I have summoned you, my honorable relatives, who are serving here today, just to ask you whether you want to share my worries and whether you want to share my worries.

If you still want to do what you did before, just be a transparent decoration and get out of the Capital Governor's Mansion as soon as possible so that I can remove you one by one."

this……

Faced with Emperor Chongzhen's rebuke, Zhu Chunchen, Tang Guozuo and other senior officials all understood the emperor's digression.

Does the emperor want to reuse them?

People like Zhu Chunchen and Tang Guozuo felt a little unbelievable. Although they may have served in the Beijing camp before, they all knew what the actual situation was. They were just decorations.
