Hearing that Yang Feng openly agreed to the emperor's reuse of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Li Yan's eyebrows couldn't help but jump.

In the Ming Dynasty, the two organizations, civil officials, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, can be said to be natural rivals.

Since Comrade Lao Zhu founded the Jinyiwei, this organization has become the sharpest sharp knife in Lao Zhu's hand. At that time, the Jinyiwei's power was extremely powerful, and Lao Zhu gave the Jinyiwei the right to reconnaissance, arrest and interrogation.

In modern people's words, the Jinyiwei has all rights in addition to military power, including public security, procuratorate and judicial departments, and national security organs. Such rights cannot be described as large.

This is not counting. The Jinyiwei even has the function of surveillance of all officials.

There was such an interesting thing during the Hongwu period. When Zhu Yuanzhang was chatting with a censor, he suddenly asked with a smile: "The memorial to impeach someone I wrote before going to bed last night has not been finished yet. If I see, don't write it. Give the impeached official a chance. After all, he is also a first offender. What do you think?"

This sentence alone scared the censor to death. He clearly remembered that there was no one in the study when he was writing the memorial. What does this mean? It means that there were eyes monitoring him all the time around him, and his every move was under the surveillance of the emperor.

For example, what he ate tonight, which concubine he had sex with tonight, etc., Comrade Zhu could know the next day, so during the Hongwu period, all the officials of the Ming Dynasty were trembling as if they were walking on thin ice.

After finally waiting for Comrade Zhu to return to heaven, his grandson Zhu Yunwen ascended the prime minister. The emperor was much more tolerant of civil servants, and the life of civil servants finally got much better. But a few days later, Comrade Zhu Di led his army into Nanjing and pulled Zhu Yunwen down. He ascended the throne and became the emperor. He was known as Emperor Yongle.

So, the hard days for civil servants came again, and the Lord was no worse than his own, and civil servants returned to their dire straits.

However, after Zhu Di returned to heaven, there was never a talented and stubborn master like Zhu Yuanzhang. In the next two hundred years, under the deception of civil servants, the successor emperors continued to stolen their martial arts, and the rights of the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang were also shrinking. After the officials lost the ropes on their necks, they began to let themselves go in various ways.

It can be said that with the shrinking of the emperor's rights, the rights of civil servants are also increasing day by day. Until now, some people even shouted the slogan "The Holy Emperor is ruling, and the God is wise."

What does this sentence mean? That is to say, those who are emperors only need to sit on the dragon throne and accept the people's kneeling and worship. As for the chores like governing the world, just leave it to us to do.

This is the consequence of the fall of the monarchy, and this situation did not occur in a few days, but the ambitions that civil servants gradually snatched power from the emperor through a long period of time.

This concept has been subtly transformed into the hearts of scholars for hundreds of years. This is also the reason why Li Yan couldn't help but start to feel disgusted when he heard Yang Feng say the above words.

He couldn't help asking: "The Duke of the Kingdom, Jinyiwei, and the East Factory are just a group of hawks and dogs relying on imperial power. They only know that fish and meat people are framed by loyal and kindness. If His Majesty reuses these people again, wouldn't it be a mess of peace in the court?"

"hehe……"

Yang Feng laughed and asked back, "Since you said that the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang Fish People framed Zhongliang, what do you think they framed Zhongliang? Where did the people who have bullied?"

"this……"

After Yang Feng asked this, Li Yan was stunned for a moment. He thought about it carefully. If he had asked him to tell me in detail about the bad things that Jinyiwei and Dongchang had done between the two gods and the gods, it seemed that he would really not remember them.

"Can't you say it?"

Yang Feng chuckled, pointed at Li Yan and scolded, "So, your scholarly businessman is still a little bit arrogant, and he follows the crowd. You believe whatever others say, but you never think about why?

The Jinyiwei and the Dongchang belong to the emperor. Their duties are to be in charge of guards, patrol and arrest, monitor officials, etc., but you don’t think about it. Are these people really so idle that they actually run to take advantage of the people?

The one who truly regards Jinyiwei Dongchang as the enemy is not others, but civil and military officials in the court. After all, no one wants to have a pair of eyes around him paying attention to him all the time. No matter what he eats, says, or even the concubine he has sex with, the emperor will know how long he will be. Anyone will feel distressed.

And the most important point is that all officials will be worried that if one day they did something to be sorry to the emperor, would the Jinyiwei break into the door and capture them in the Pacification Department at midnight?"

"The official understands." Li Yan was silent for a long time before bowing to Yang Feng with a wry smile: "Your Majesty's words are better than reading for ten years. In the past, the official always thought that he was a scholar in the world and always looked down on others. Now he realized that he was just a fool who followed the crowd."

"hehe……"

Yang Feng was amused by Li Yan's words, "You don't have to be too inferior. In fact, you are already smarter than most people. It's just that you are too deeply influenced by your past habits and have not changed your ideas for a while.

To put it bluntly, the biggest contradiction in the court now is nothing more than a dispute between imperial power and ministers. This was nothing at all, but do you know what I don’t like most about those civil officials?

Obviously, they value money, women's sex, and reputation more than anything else, but they pretend to be a gentleman and say, "It's okay if the saints say it's greedy for money, but they still don't do a good job for the court."

Look at this Pan Ruzhen, who has been a governor for less than three years, has owed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. It would be fine if he could do his best to do his job for the court after greeting on the bank. After he was greedy, he was still digging the corners of the court. What use do you think such a person is coming?"

"Is this also why you are willing to take the risk of taking him down?"

"It's true. The longer such a person stays in the position of governor, the more harmful it will be to the court, so I simply took him down without stopping, with the night long and dreams."

“It’s true.”

Li Yan looked at Yang Feng's decisive face, and a feeling of admiration surged from his heart. The Duke of the State was so decisive. If he had taken down Pan Ruzhen, he would probably not even dare to have any thoughts.
