The double-edged sword of the secret service is not used well. Even, it will only hurt yourself. It seems that the factory and health institutions of the Ming Dynasty were originally responsible for external reconnaissance. But. In fact, the factory guard has become a simple tool for internal "suppression" and "external functions, all of which have been completely lost." Civil War Insider, Foreign War Outsider. Don't let such an institution go.

Perhaps, when he was emperor himself. It should be able to control the overall situation. However, when it comes to his son's generation, it's hard to say. Zhang Zhun does not think that his son. will be better than yourself. Even if he had devoted himself to teaching him, he would not have possessed all the knowledge of four hundred years. In the future, it will be even more important to be grandchildren.

If those in power rely too much on the secret services, "then it will become a darker dynasty than the Ming Dynasty." Such a dark dynasty. It must have been very short-lived. The facts of later generations have fully shown that the oppression of the people is also severe, and the more fierce the people's resistance. Eventually, the angry populace will rise up and overthrow the dictator's rule.

There is a great philosopher who once made this analogy. Dictator. It's like a gorgeous and magnificent ship, when it sails. Domineering and awe-inspiring. When everything goes well, no one is its opponent. It can crush everything against opponents. But. Once it sinks in a storm, there is no chance to float again.

The main society of the people is like a bamboo raft. The chances of sinking are very xiao. Even if it sinks, it will float up quickly. However, those standing on the raft have to soak their feet in the water at all times. Well, it's absolutely impossible to be as comfortable as a big ship.

In order to make the future development path of the new empire relatively stable, Zhang Zhun decided to achieve a little balance between the big ship and the bamboo raft as much as possible. Complete "people" master. That's impossible. It is unrealistic to ask him to give up all the power of Shoufeng. I guess even if he really gave up, it's not good. I thought this was Zhang Zhun targeting his own fire pit.

The fundamental way to achieve a balance, engraved, is to cede part of the imperial power. For example, the right to judge. For example. Fiscal rights. Zhang Zhun has already ceded the right to judge. To relinquish financial power is to stop engaging in internal money. All the country's revenues go into the state treasury. The emperor's own xiao treasury. The quantity is xiao. Negligible.

The emperor has no personal money, and with it, it is natural that a large number of harems will be abolished. What 3,000 palace maids, what 100,000 eunuchs. None of this can continue to exist. Perhaps, every lady around Zhang Zhun can have one or two maids. However, all the numbers added up must not exceed a hundred.

In a place as big as the Forbidden City, Zhang Zhun can't afford to live in it. The annual maintenance cost of the Forbidden City is estimated to be tens of thousands of taels of silver. Zhang Zhun is estimated to be unwilling to spend such an expense. It seems that the Forbidden City is preparing to be converted into a park and opened to the public for a fee. As for Zhang Zhun's own residence, as long as there is Heng Wangfu, it is enough.

A big focus of relinquishing fiscal power is the power to raise taxes. In the past, the emperor could raise taxes at will as long as he liked. Three salaries and the like, which are collected by Hu 1uan. Well, you can add as much as you want. Right now. Of course it can't be done. Now, the tax increase must be approved by a majority of the cabinet. If the cabinet does not approve, even the emperor, there is no way to raise taxes. Moreover, this cabinet, in terms of quality, has also undergone certain changes, which has a greater restraining effect on the imperial power.

The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty was produced on the basis of six ministries and nine secretaries, and it was more of an administrative executive body. The main thing is to carry out the orders of the emperor. In terms of the supervision of imperial power, it is mainly to look at the individual. If the cabinet is a personal force, it is stronger. It happened that when the emperor was relatively weak, it was possible to supervise. It seems that Zhang Juzheng is in the environment.

Under normal circumstances, supervising imperial power is just a beautiful fantasy.

When the emperor is dissatisfied with the cabinet, he can kick out the person he likes in various ways and replace it with someone he likes. So. The so-called supervision is even more of a dead letter. For the sake of his own glory and wealth, the cabinet assistant will not easily go against the emperor. Nothing good. Who wants to do it?

Now, after the change, the members of the cabinet are no longer elected by the six ministries or other agencies, but by election. The emperor did not participate in the entire election process. The election of cabinet members is mainly decided by secret ballot of representatives of the provinces and provinces. Representatives of the provinces and provinces are voted on by the representatives at the next level.

The voting rights at the most basic level, there are clear regulations, that is, in the county. After the establishment of the new empire, all the states. It will all be changed to counties. There are probably more than 2,000 counties in the country. Each county has ten votes. The magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant are three others. One ticket per person. The other seven votes were ...... by the local people, who elected influential figures in the county, so to speak, this cabinet is somewhat similar to the parliament of later generations. Cabinet auxiliary, kind of "like a cabinet minister." Of course, the power of the cabinet minister is not as great as that of later generations. The right to vote in elections. Nor did it fall into the hands of ordinary people. Local influential figures are obviously not ordinary people. But, by any measure, it's really progress. The most obvious example of this is that the emperor cannot do what he wants.

Making such a decision is actually a big concession for Zhang Zhun. It is conceivable that once this cabinet minister appears, his suppression of imperial power will be very significant. Because. Behind his back. It's a large group of voting representatives. These people. Basically, it is the backbone of society. Even the emperor can't easily shake the backbone.

In order to prevent the emergence of a civil war for power, Zhang Zhun specifically stipulated that the cabinet had no power to control the army and could not have military power. However, the emperor could not use force and dismiss the cabinet. If the emperor forcibly disbanded the cabinet by force, the cabinet had the power to form an army on its own. Against the imperial power. This provision is the most deadly.

Later. Will there be a danger of civil war? Zhang Zhun couldn't be sure. However, he can be sure that if the emperor is really not powerful, or if he is too unpopular, he will only step down. If his children and grandchildren are really so incompetent, then they will have to leave with a gray cover. Give you the power of the emperor, you can't control the scene, so what else do you say? The face of your ancestors has been lost to you.

, "Lord Governor is wise。。

Qiao Yunsheng exhaled deeply. Said from the heart.

Zhang Zhun, what a rare true dragon emperor! With such a killing, the cabinet has the strength to fully bargain with the emperor. If the emperor wants to kick out the cabinet and come nonsense himself, it will be absolutely impossible. All along, no one can contain the imperial power. Finally, there is a fundamental change. Qiao Yunsheng has enough reasons to be proud. He was the first in the history of China to explicitly limit imperial power. A person who writes the law in black and white. This alone is enough to make him famous in history.

In a happy mood, Qiao Yunsheng has more topics. After discussing the key issues of the law, he said expectantly: "My lord" has the country name been decided? ”

Zhang Zhun was a little surprised and said, "Didn't you decide it?" ”

Qiao Yunsheng said a little embarrassed: "The territory of the new empire is too big, and we have thought of a lot of country names" It doesn't seem to be appropriate. The name of the country, which is related to the image of the new empire, must be cautious. Therefore. It is better to ask the Governor to make a suggestion on this country name. ”

A few of them have indeed discussed. What kind of name should be chosen for the new empire. But after thinking about it, there is no good answer. Who knows how big the Tiger Army's territory will expand in the future? In case you take something like Qi and Yan, "It's too xiao, and it will be laughed at." Mingguo is not bad. It's a pity that it was used.

Zhang Zhun "doesn't care about the future country name. The country is strong. The name will naturally be familiar. He thought about it. said casually: "In that case, Guo Name, let's have something new." Since one word is not easy to use, then use two words. We started as a tiger army. The name of the empire is called the Tiger Empire. ”

Qiao Xisheng pondered for a moment and nodded gently.

Tiger Ben Empire, such a name "says it sounds, of course it doesn't sound good." It's cheesy. However, if you want to say something unpleasant, it is quite frustrating. Ordinary people are already familiar with it. Externally, there are two words. Originally, it was full of aggressive bī momentum.

The name of the Tiger Ben Army, I believe many people shudder.

Zhang Zhun said casually: "That's what I said, you guys will study and study." ”

Qiao Yunsheng agreed.

However, he can basically conclude. The name of the Tiger Ben Empire should be passed. The Tiger Ben Army has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the Tiger Ben Empire is also a matter of course. The people in the military, in particular, "will definitely support this country name." Nothing else. Sounds domineering!

"My lord, this is sent by Li Yan's army."

Soon after Qiao Yunsheng left, Wang Shide sent the latest battle report.

At present, Li Yan's army, mainly stationed near Xiangyang, together with Hao Linyong's White Tiger Army, is preparing to attack Shuzhong. Because the topography of Shuzhong is more complex. The roads are rough and logistical supplies are difficult, so they need to prepare more supplies. Therefore, this year, it will definitely not be possible to attack.

The problem in Shuzhong is the last stop for the Tiger Ben Army to solve the imperial court. The current Shuzhong is the last support of the imperial court. The imperial court stationed in Xi'an. All the materials are supplied by Shuzhong. Once Shuzhong is gone, the imperial court will naturally collapse.

In other words, for Zhang Zhun, there is no need to directly attack Xi'an, as long as Sichuan is taken. Imperial army around Xi'an Mansion. It's just a matter of raising your hands and surrendering. If you don't surrender, then you really have to drink the northwest wind.

Should the Tiger Ben Army use force to solve the problem in Shuzhong. The key lies in the state of the imperial court. Zhang Zhun had already passed on his meaning to Chongzhen through King Xiang and gave him a chance to choose. If the imperial court is willing to make concessions, accept the conditions offered by Zhang Zhun. The Tiger Ben army can enter Shuzhong peacefully and avoid the destruction of life.

However, once the imperial court desperately resisted. The Tiger Ben Army can only use force. For this, the Tiger Ben army did not hesitate at all. Anyway, no matter what, the Tiger Ben Army is going to enter Shuzhong. After the Tiger Ben army entered Shuzhong, it had to prepare to march to Tibet and other regions. The pace of the Tiger Army's advance will not be easily stopped.

"What does Qin Liang say there?"

Zhang Zhun asked casually.

When the Tiger Ben Army was about to enter Shuzhong, the first obstacle it encountered was the famous female general Qin Liang Yù. She has always been the main force guarding Sichuan. The white pole soldiers led by her could be regarded as a good elite team at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Every time Zhang Xianzhong came to attack Sichuan, she was responsible for organizing the defense. Outcome. Every time, Zhang Xianzhong didn't get any benefits. Now, the Tiger Army is here, and she is naturally still the main force.

In order to protect the safety of Shuzhong, the imperial court was "naturally gracious to Qin Liang in every way." This old woman, who is already in her sixties, has added one title after another. Even the three princes and three divisions have such a noble title. All appeared for the first time on the top of a female general's head. The white pole soldiers under her command are also trying their best to expand the army, and the scale has reached 40,000.

In order to peacefully solve the problem in Shuzhong. The Tiger Ben Army sent people to contact Qin Liang, hoping that Qin Liang could peacefully leave Sichuan. Zhang Zhun promised that he would treat the King of Shu and other people in the court with kindness. For this female general. Zhang Zhun is still more admirable, after all, she led the white pole soldiers back then, and she fought with the Tartars to starve" has no responsibility to respond. ”

Wang Shide replied in a low voice.

"Oh."

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully.

If you don't respond, you mean that you've been rejected. It seems that Qin Liang was indeed loyal and unswerving to the Ming court. Well, I think so, if Qin Liang yù would easily change the court, she wouldn't be called Qin Liang yù anymore. Chongzhen is also a fool, and it is not very useful to put such a person. The 1ang in vain wasted talents!

It's a pity that the Tiger Ben Army is the opposite of Qin Liang. The stance of the two armies determines that there is no possibility of turning around. If Qin Liang yù resisted wholeheartedly, he was afraid that the Tiger Ben Army would not make a little effort. It is impossible to take down Sichuan. Her 40,000 white-pole soldiers are all good elites, and it would indeed be a pity if she died under the guns of the Tiger Army!

"Tell Hao Linyong to attack according to the plan. If you catch Qin Liang, try to give him preferential treatment. If you don't Xiao Xin killed. They should also be given a generous burial. For the descendants of the Qin family, try to preserve it as much as possible. The backbone of the White Pole Soldiers. If you have participated in the killing of Tartars in the year, you can pay for the journey. Let them go home and not be treated as prisoners. ”

Zhang Zhun thought about it and said slowly.

Wang Shide recorded them one by one
