Wei Zhongxian was carefully observing Zhu Youzhen all night, although Xu Yingyuan, the personal eunuch who originally served Zhu Youzhen, was Wei Zhongxian's rare friend who had not abandoned him in the palace.

But this eunuch Xu is an honest man with no scheming, he is too honest and honest, and he relied on Wei Zhongxian to become Zhu Youzhen's personal eunuch.

This Xu Yingyuan, who will not come to trouble, has never been close to Zhu Youzhen, so Wei Zhongxian can't get much useful information about Zhu Youzhen from his mouth.

Zhu Youzhen kept changing his kneeling posture throughout the night, and he didn't seem to stop for a moment. Zhu Youzhen's detached move made Wei Zhongxian kindle a glimmer of hope, "If His Royal Highness King Xin has more of the deceased Emperor of the Apocalypse, then at least the Donglin Party will not completely gain the upper hand in the court." As long as King Xin wants to maintain peace in the court in the future, he will not wreak havoc on these so-called eunuchs, and he, Wei Zhongxian, can at least end up being assigned to guard the tomb. ”

The last night of the wake finally passed, and when the sky was bright, Zhu Youzhen stood on the Wufeng Tower, watching the coffin go all the way from the Chengtian Gate and the Noon Gate. At this point, the Emperor of the Apocalypse can finally rest with peace of mind, and he doesn't have to worry about these internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty.

Although there are still 27 days to decay, Zhu Youzhen knows that he needs to start to slowly understand the political structure of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, this boxy palace and imperial city would be a huge luxury single prison for him.

Today, hundreds of officials are funeral for Emperor Daxing, so there is no need to go to court. After Zhu Youzhen sent away the coffin of the Apocalypse, he returned to the harem.

This day also happened to be the day when the relatives in the palace of King Xin were admitted to the palace, Zhu Youzhen comforted the two concubines Yuan and Tian with a few words, and asked Zhou Yufeng, who had been canonized as the queen, to take care of the two.

Then he asked Wang Chengen, Wang Dehua and others to take the officials from the Xinwang Mansion to understand the management institutions in the palace and the imperial city, as well as the personalities and experiences of the people in charge.

The palace and the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty were completely controlled and managed by eunuchs, with a total of 24 management institutions of 12 eunuchs, 4 divisions and 8 bureaus, also known as 24 yamen, and under this there were various branches such as warehouses and factories.

There are only two high-ranking and powerful people in the twenty-four yamen, one is the celebrant and the eunuch, who holds the power to approve the red, also known as the inner court; The other is the Imperial Horse Warden, who is mainly responsible for guarding the palace and keeping watch over the Beijing camp. This article and one martial arts two yamen are the first of the twenty-four yamen.

The palm print eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch is Pang Tianshou, and the palm print eunuch of the celebrant is Wang Tiqian. However, since Wanli, the Imperial Horse Supervisor has been increasingly abandoned, and now it has been completely suppressed by the celebrant eunuch.

Although the celebrant is nominally Wang Tiqian, in fact, Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the ceremonial pen and the commander of the Dongchang, is the first person among the ceremonial eunuchs.

In addition to the 24 yamen of the internal supervisor, there is also a female official system of six bureaus and 24 divisions that manage the palace maids, but since the internal supervisor took power, the female official system has been abandoned.

Zhu Youzhen is now completely blind to the foreign court, and he doesn't know that those people are talented, and those people are corpses.

Although he has read several history books and read several time-traveling novels, he knows the names of historical celebrities such as Sun Chengzong, Mao Wenlong, Lu Xiangsheng, Zu Dashou, Yuan Chonghuan, Wu Sangui, Xiong Tingbi, Yang Sichang, Hong Chengchou, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and so on.

But what's the use of that? This is not a game, promote the people in front of you to the position of minister, kill the leaders of the peasant army such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong who want to rebel, and then the world will be peaceful.

The peasant uprising was because they could not survive, even if there was no Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, there would be Wang Zicheng and Zhao Xianzhong leading the peasants to rebel. The last days of each dynasty are never the reason why there are too many careerists, but the fact that most of the peasants can't eat enough to have a full stomach, so there is a situation where one man advocates and ten thousand people gather.

As for the promotion of officials by leapfrogging, in the crumbling system of the late Ming Dynasty, any sudden change in the criteria for selecting officials would cause the entire organization to be paralyzed.

Whether it is an authoritarian government or a democratic government, it is nothing more than an organization of people. As long as it is an organization, it must follow certain rules, and without rules, there is no circle.

As a project manager in his previous life, Zhu Youzhen certainly knew that even a company must have a company's rules and regulations. If the boss appoints private individuals at will, it will inevitably cause the company's old employees to deviate from morality.

Originally, the company was promoted and hired according to seniority, but suddenly a young man who had not dried up was parachuted down, and the old employees who had worked hard for the company for half their lives could be convinced?

Even if you are an elite who has returned from studying in the Ivy League abroad, you can't do it, so the new manager said that you want to go north, and the old employees below just say that you want to go south, and then the boss of the company doesn't have to do anything to mediate disputes all day long.

It is conceivable that the new executives and the old employees below are fighting all day long, and the company will become of it.

What's more, the conditions for every celebrity in history to become famous, in addition to their own talents, also lie mostly in the experience of their environment. A senior engineer of the company is also trained from one construction site to another after leaving the school.

If you are directly arranged to the position of senior engineer after he graduates, then it will only hurt him and the company.

Therefore, although he knew that Chongzhen was only 17 years old, and the time was very urgent, Zhu Youzhen still did not plan to hurriedly adjust the personnel of the foreign dynasty and express his opinions on the situation of the court.

As a project manager, when facing a new project, the first thing is to establish your own project team, without a strong and reliable project team, no matter how exquisite your ideas and construction technology are, in the end it will become a dangerous building.

Through the preliminary understanding of the political structure of the Ming Dynasty in these days, Zhu Youzhen can be regarded as having a basic concept.

The Ming Dynasty Hongwu opened the country and set up four systems of civil officials, honorable military generals, eunuchs, factory guards and princes guarding the border, which contained and supported each other.

After the Yongle Jing disaster, the prince's border guard was cut off. And after the Tumubao Incident, the noble military general was also lame.

So much so that today it is almost a situation in which the civil cabinet is dominant, and the emperor can only resist the overly inflated power of civil officials through the eunuch factory guard system.

Compared with the civil officials who have the right to education and the right of public opinion, the eunuch factory guard is inherently in a disadvantageous situation. Because civil officials can use the power of public opinion in Shilin to smear eunuchs and factory guards as treacherous people who eat fish and flesh.

Coupled with the congenital defects of the eunuchs themselves, it also caused the common people to not understand and discriminate against these people. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs, factory guards and civil officials tended to have the upper hand, even if they had the upper hand for a while, they were also smeared into a dark period when power was in power, and finally liquidated by the civil system.
