Zhu Di took a deep breath, feeling a little depressed in his chest, and asked: "Why do you think that Dongchang will definitely die?"
Zhu Gaojie said firmly: "Because Dongchang is composed of eunuchs. Grandpa once clearly said that eunuchs are not allowed to engage in politics. Dad, have you forgotten this? Grandpa is right. From the perspective of sons and ministers,
, Dongchang, which is controlled by eunuchs, will rot to the core within twenty years at most and become a piece of rotten flesh growing on the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Di didn't understand: "From what you said, the death of Dongchang was due to the eunuchs. Why do you have such extreme thoughts about eunuchs? Do you know who the admiral of Dongchang I appointed is?"
Zhu Gaojie really didn’t know: “Who is it?”
"Tang Cheng."
Zhu Di asked back, "Do you think Tang Cheng will have a problem?"
Zhu Gaojie shook his head: "If Mr. Tang is in charge of Dongchang, I have no objection."
Although Tang Cheng was also a eunuch, he cannot be compared with ordinary eunuchs.
Although he held a high position, he was not greedy for money, lustful, power-loving, or clique-y, which was in sharp contrast to ordinary people's stereotype of eunuchs. If Tang Chenglai was in charge of Dongchang, there would be no problem.
For Zhu Di, Tang Cheng is like Lu Chaoyang next to Zhu Gaojie. He is loyal, cruel, and efficient, and is the most suitable person to do dirty work.
"That's it."
Zhu Di shrugged and said, "Although I don't know why you have such paranoid ideas about eunuchs, the fact is that eunuchs can also be used, and eunuchs are also the most trustworthy, such as Zheng He and Tang Cheng. These eunuchs are more
It is more worthy of being used by courtiers."
When he conquered the world, some eunuchs and monks contributed, such as Yao Guangxiao and Zheng He, so in his mind, eunuchs were relatively reliable.
Zhu Gaojie asked: "Besides these two, which eunuch is worth using?"
Zhu Di was embarrassed.
Apart from Zheng He, the hexagonal warrior, it seems that only Tang Cheng can be entrusted with important tasks.
None of the remaining eunuchs could give their names.
Zhu Gaojie said quietly: "The eunuchs are reliable because they are tied to the palace. When the emperor rises, the eunuchs will rise. Everything they have is given by the emperor. If the emperor wants to take back their power, don't worry about them.
No matter how prominent they are in front of others and how arrogant they are in their actions, in front of the imperial power, their so-called overwhelming power is like a paper lake, which can be broken with a single poke. They are nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered."
Indeed, even though the famous 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian in later generations seemed to have all the power to do whatever he wanted, everything he had was given by Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao. In front of Emperor Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian was just his use.
To restrain the imperial power.
When Wei Zhongxian is needed, he is nine thousand years old. When he is not needed, he is just a reptile that can be crushed to death at any time.
After Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, Wei Zhongxian's careless writings were wiped out.
He said, "Father, have you ever thought about how many eunuchs there are like Zheng He and Tang Cheng? Eunuchs are rootless people. They have no one to rely on. The only thing that can bring them a sense of security is
Power and benefit. Whether it is power or benefit, if eunuchs want to get these two things, the only thing they can rely on is imperial power, so they will try their best to curry favor with the emperor and grovel like a lap dog."
But looking at ancient and modern times, which dynasty has not suffered from eunuchs?"
The Western Han Dynasty learned from the isolation of the royal family in the Qin Dynasty, and created large-scale feudal lords with the same surname. In the end, it caused the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, and was usurped by the relatives. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Huanling arrived, he gathered the eunuchs in a group to keep warm and fight against the relatives.
Once we reach the Ancestral Temple, we will create a situation unprecedented in history!"
In the Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs took control of the Shence Army. From the time of Li Fuguo, the power was soaring. It was almost a matter of a thought to depose and establish the emperor. Tang Shunzong was forced into the palace, Tang Xianzong was poisoned to death, Tang Jingzong was killed, and Tang Jingzong was killed during the Manlu Incident.
Tang Wenzong was kidnapped, and Tang Xizong was forced to call the eunuch "father". The late Tang Dynasty is almost a history of blood and tears of the emperor!"
Since ancient times, the king and his ministers have been on opposite sides.
The relationship between the monarch and his ministers is to play games and fight with each other. The monarch hopes that his ministers can cooperate with each other.
As obedient as a domestic dog, the ministers hope that the monarch can act as a mascot honestly. These are conflicts with each other. No one may be convinced by the other. Even if there is an evil monarch who can use miraculous means to temporarily control the ministers, in the
After his death, it is always possible that his future rulers will all be like him and be a monster.
This antagonistic relationship has lasted for thousands of years and has been the same throughout the ages.
In the struggle for power, both monarch and ministers have their own advantages.
The monarch is the supreme person in terms of ideals and legal systems. The monarch's power is granted by God. Since the monarch's words are oracles, disobeying the monarch is treason and goes against the destiny of heaven.
The ministers constantly hope to restrain the imperial power, and then hope that the monarch can give up the imperial power and let the ministers govern the world. Their greatest advantage is "quantity" and the number of people.
The monarch symbolizes "quality", while the ministers symbolize "quantity". Therefore, the emperor is also called a "lonely man". He is the enemy of the whole world.
The monarch feels that since I am destiny, I should have the final say.
The ministers believe that if you want to govern the world, you must use ours.
Therefore, for a long time, the ministers were actually in an undefeated position.
In order to deal with this situation, the monarch can only look for foreign aid:
——Zongfan.
But later I discovered that there was a big problem... They were all people with the same surname. If he became more powerful, he would be a greater threat than the ministers. The ministers just ignored the monarch, and the vassal vassal really dared to rebel.
For the vassal, once he gains huge power, he will find a problem: if the monarch is killed, he can naturally inherit the throne.
This is too scary. The monarch felt that the vassal vassal was definitely useless, but if he did not find foreign aid, he would not be able to defeat the ministers at all, so he could only choose other foreign aid: relatives and nobles.
But both of these also have their own shortcomings.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is easy for nobles and relatives to lose their tails, and it is also easy to collude with ministers.
Wang Mang is the most typical negative teaching material. The reason why this man can rise to the top is not only the most important natural advantage of being a relative, but also closely related to his impeccable conduct. When the Wang family bathes in the emperor's favor and enjoys it with all their lives,
At that time, Wang Mang was willing to stay in poverty, help the disadvantaged groups, and devote himself to studying and enlightenment.
When the emperor saw that this brother could do it and was so self-disciplined, he would definitely be able to get things done, so he used him.
Wang Mang was indeed able to succeed. He not only suppressed the emperor's enemies, but also suppressed the emperor, and by the way usurped the throne and became emperor himself.
After learning a lesson, the monarch realized that his relatives and nobles could not be trusted, but he still had to look for foreign aid. After looking around, the monarch chose the eunuch.
Hello eunuch.
First, eunuchs and courtiers are at odds with each other.
Secondly, officials are the emperor's domestic slaves, and those around them can feel at ease with them.
Third, eunuchs will most likely not rebel because they have no descendants.
"In this world, nothing is absolutely reliable, and no one is absolutely reliable."
Zhu Di said solemnly: "Although eunuchs also have great hidden dangers, compared with vassals, relatives, and nobles, eunuchs are already very reliable."
He understood what Zhu Gaojie said. He had simulated the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty once, and he knew very well the harm caused to the Ming Dynasty by eunuchs intervening in politics.
Even so, he still has to do it.
Because he has no other choice. Compared with other people, the eunuch has already chosen the taller one among the short ones. They are all bad people, so he should choose the most useful one among the bad people.
Zhu Di sighed: "You understand my difficulties, and I also understand your worries. We both think about the Ming Dynasty. You have to rely on me on this matter."
Zhu Gaojie thought about it again and realized that his attitude was indeed a bit aggressive.
The emperor has just established the Dongchang, and now he is knocking on the door to force the old man to dismantle the Dongchang. What does this mean for the emperor's face? What will the courtiers think?
Zhu Gaojie stepped back and said, "Dad, I can do whatever you want, but you have to do one thing from me."
Zhu Di Long Yanshu said: "Sure, as long as you don't
If you want to abolish Dongchang, I promise you ten things, just tell me."
Zhu Gaojie thought for a while and said: "The most critical issue, as I said before, is that the existence of Dongchang conflicts with the existence of Jinyiwei. They do the same job, but it is obvious that Dongchang is different from Jinyiwei.
The factory will become even more favored. If this continues, Jin Yiwei 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 unhappy: "Looking at what you mean, do you still want to cancel Dongchang?"
"No, I just think that if we want to prevent Dongchang and Jinyiwei from having any disputes, their roles must be calculated separately. I have thought of four principles."
Zhu Gaojie said, "First, Dongchang's actions can be secret, such as assassinating the king of a certain country. They are not bound by the law, nor are they bound by morality. The actions of the Jinyiwei are to maintain the majesty of the law."
Second, Jinyiwei can carry out inspections and arrests within the Ming Dynasty, but Dongchang does not have this authority."
Third, Dongchang’s operations are mainly military, while Jinyiwei’s main responsibilities are to fight crime and supervise officials within the territory.”
All in all, the Dongchang is an agency set up by the Ming Dynasty outside the customs to deal with other countries. It is a sharp knife hidden in the dark that kills people without showing blood. The agency set up by the Jinyiwei to deal with officials in the country, in addition to doing dirty work, also has the identity of a law enforcer.
"
Zhu Gaojie must admit that he plagiarized America's idea. Although America's idea itself has problems, is there no problem in the Ming Dynasty? It is impossible to create a perfect system in the feudal era.
things.
Anyway, there are still more than three hundred years before the founding of America. In more than three hundred years, the Ming Dynasty has already planted the sun and moon flag in North America, so there is nothing wrong with America.
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "Is this still called Dongchang?"
He established the East Factory to check and balance the Jinyi Guards and monitor the officials.
As a result, after being changed like this by Zhu Gaojie, good guy, he was thrown directly outside the customs by Dongchang. This was not only changed beyond recognition? Except for the name, everything else was changed!
"Father, Daming is not your Daming, nor is it mine."
Zhu Gaojie said calmly, "The Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty of the world. For the Ming Dynasty, nothing is impossible. If the Ming Dynasty needs me to die, then I can kill myself with a knife now."
He was already very concerned about the old man's thoughts. If it weren't for the old man's face, he would have canceled the existence of Dongchang within three days.
But scruples do not mean bottomless tolerance.
If the old man keeps thinking so much, he can do whatever he wants. Zhu Gaojie doesn't mind letting his father retire early.
…
"Damn it, we've already said that eunuchs shouldn't be involved in politics, but no one listened. They took what we said as fart!"
In the world in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he had a toothache.
As a commoner emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang had a strong desire to control power. He would never allow anyone to threaten the emperor's power. In his mind, the emperor should be like him, who could solve everything by himself.
, apart from that, the rest are the emperor's tools. Especially for eunuchs, Lao Zhu strictly guarded them and told future generations to be wary of eunuchs interfering in politics.
Under his majesty, the eunuchs of the Hongwu Dynasty were so honest that they not only dared not talk to foreign ministers in private on weekdays, but also dared not go out of the palace to buy land or have any interaction with local officials.
However, he never expected that just a few years after his death, eunuchs would begin to resurrect from the dead.
Zhu Di, you really deserve to die!
"Grandpa, don't be excited, don't be excited!"
When Zhu Gaojie saw that Lao Zhu was so anxious, he rushed out to beat someone, and quickly stepped forward to stop him, "My father also thinks about Ming Dynasty, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."
[The problem of slow update of new chapters will be resolved soon.
He said angrily: "I've rebelled against him. He didn't even pay attention to what we said. What a good Zhu Di. He used to be honest and kind when we were still here. We've only been gone for a few years, and he's already floating off his feet."
Damn it, don’t stop us, we have to slap him twice to wake him up!”
Zhu Gaojie was shocked: "You can't do it, grandpa, if you use my body to slap my father, wouldn't that be a treason? How do you want my father to look at me?"
"What bullshit is treasonous? It is natural for a father to beat his son!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "If he dares to say no, we will beat him to death on the spot!"
Zhu Gaojiu blocked him for a while, and then the furious old Zhu calmed down.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath: "Actually, if we think about it now, what Zhu Di, the traitor, said is not bad, but we are also a little obsessed. Not all 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. If you want the emperor to firmly grasp the power, you have to find some help from outsiders."
However, Zhu Di's rebellious son is not as deep as you think. What he wants is to use eunuchs to gather imperial power and suppress the ministers, but what you want is how to suppress the eunuchs while suppressing the ministers."
Lao Zhu's vision of seeing things has always been unique and precise. After a sudden turn of events, he saw at a glance that his previous thoughts were too blind.
He had only seen the situation of eunuchs in the past dynasties interfering in politics and causing harm to the country and the people, but he had never thought that not everyone was the omnipotent Zhu Yuanzhang.
