One son one

Jiajing doesn't know that there are capable people. People who often do not belong to this kind of sycophancy and blindly flatter themselves are generally impure in their motives. It is often not beneficial to the country, but the emperor is really afraid of those ministers who don't want to die, and he really doesn't want to relive the nightmare of that day, so he has been hiding in Xiyuan for more than 20 years. refuses to return to the palace, refuses to go to the court, and says that everything else is an excuse, but the real reason is that he is afraid of his minister, and he is afraid of falling into a lonely and helpless situation again.

Therefore, when he avoided the Jin Jian Palace, he avoided the normal order of the country, and he exercised indirect rule over the country through contact with a few people in the cabinet, so that he could avoid the vast majority of ministers with excess energy, and he did not have to suffer the pain of one enemy and one hundred; But in doing so, he undoubtedly increased the authority and prestige of the cabinet, "especially the authority and prestige of the auxiliary, and the general control of the military and political power when meeting with the ministers on behalf of the emperor." So that among the authorities, the scholars of the Yuanben Dynasty and even the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty were not as good as them.

Jiajing was also aware of this problem, and he once said to Yan Song, "The public has the reality of the prime minister, but there is no name of the prime minister, and the weight of the position is heavy, although Li and Hu are not as good as it" Li and Li Shanchang, the first prime minister of the Ming Dynasty; Hu, Hu Weiyong, the last prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, were all clicked by Zhu Yuanzhang for offending the emperor's authority. Jiajing said so, which is fully proven. On the issue of the Yan family's father and son, he is sober.

So why did Jiajing use this father and son for 20 years, and was extremely reluctant to change people? Because the father and son of the Yan family are to Jiajing, their tips are watchdogs, scapegoats and gold-painted toilets. It is precisely because of this father and son as watchdogs that those nasty Qingliu Zichen can be kept out, so that the emperor is out of sight and out of mind; Because of this pair of scapegoats. The emperor's inaction can turn into the dictatorship of the Yan family's father and son, and when Jiajing feels that the father and son have become stinky. When it is intolerable. will throw the toilet far away.

It is because these two men are unpopular, they can't really hold together with the ministers, they must always cling to the imperial power, so that they can open it at any time, so that they will not have too much power and threaten the imperial power, so that Jiajing can eat well, sleep well, and not be afraid of how long the retreat will last, as for whether the people will suffer? I'm sorry, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care at all. If he could be a little less selfish, the Great Etiquette would not have been born. The Ming Dynasty would not have fallen into such a field as it is today.

Originally, Jiajing thought that the toilet surnamed Yan was full. The gang will take it out and replace it with a toilet surnamed Xu and then it will be convenient.

But now the situation has changed, Yan Shifan took the emperor's connivance as weakness, and rode on his neck several times to, this vicious dog raised by Jiajing himself no longer takes the master's true intentions seriously. I want to force the owner to compromise!

Usually in this case, it is not far from the day when it becomes a dog meat hot pot.

Dragons have reverse scales, and if you touch them, you will die! What a tough emperor was Jiajing? When he was still a teenager, in order to assert his claims. He can oppose the whole world, even if he is destined to be obsessed with history and separated from the ministers. If you refuse to change your mind, how can you tolerate repeated provocations? Jiajing really made up his mind this time to make Yan Shifan pay the price!

But when it comes to the end, I realize how hard it is to do. The emperor, the supreme, and the master of the Ming Dynasty, seem to be in their hands, do whatever they want, and cannot be disobeyed, but in fact they are more restrained than the ordinary people. Don't act rashly. Especially after the samurai have been in power for 600 years, if the emperor wants to translate his will into a decree that everyone obeys, he must have the support of a group of civil officials; A lone husband without anyone's support will tragically lose everything, including the emperor's authority.

Jiajing has already lost the support of too many righteous men and gentlemen in the great ceremony, and now if he drives the villain away, who else will listen to him? At that time, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, centrifugal and detached, the world's corporals and horizontal eyebrows were cold, the holy decree could not get out of the Forbidden City, Huangquan's dignity was miserable and swept away, and he, the emperor, still hanged himself.

Of course not, it's not time to be discouraged! After learning from the pain, Emperor Jiajing, who had been sinking for half a year, finally cheered up and began to lay out his career in his later years.

The silent judgment is not wrong at all, it is impossible for such an insecure emperor to give up the throne to his son, and the so-called "wanting to be the emperor" is just a smoke bomb thrown by Jiajing, just to try the hearts of hundreds of officials. As a result, he was greatly disappointed, and everyone went to praise his son's stinky feet, where will I be the emperor?

So, he came to the final conclusion, and the ministers are not credible! Whether it is a traitor or a direct minister, everyone has their own abacus and will not be of the same heart and mind with him! So what to do? Do you really want to become a lonely person, concentrate on cultivating from now on, and hand over the world to them to make trouble? Of course not, Jiajing cultivates the Tao in order to live a few more years and be an emperor for a few more years! It's not about turning to cultivation for the sake of cultivating.

So, the problems that plagued the emperors of the Ming Dynasty also appeared in front of Jiajing, and a minister was not with me, but I couldn't beat them because they were too many, what should I do when I hurt? Looking for a helper, so, just like his ancestors and ancestors, Jiajing set his sights on the eunuchs who were everywhere around him, extremely obedient, and would never betray him.

Zheng He, Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, Zhang Yong, these people have all been dominant, leading the coquettish for a while, and after death, they will either be famous for a hundred years, or leave a stink for thousands of years, and become the idols of the eunuchs. Since the beginning of Grandpa Cheng, the emperors of all dynasties have relied on these eunuchs very much, and ordered them to scout the old ones, lead the palace and guard them, and the soldiers and horses in the capital are out of the town, monitoring the army's "heart, hungry harvest" The inner court is known as "100,000 eunuchs" There are spies, control the army, and charge taxes, and even compete with the outer court!

In fact, the celebrant of the inner court even has the name of "inner minister,

Of course, that was all before the Jiajing Dynasty, since the change of Emperor Jiajing, the good days of the eunuchs have come to an end, and they still want to make money, lead troops, and control the government? Be your mother's big dream of autumn! In his holy decree, he reaffirmed the ancestor of Emperor Taizu. "Ministers are not allowed to interfere in political affairs, and those who commit crimes will be beheaded! At first, the eunuchs didn't take it to heart. It's been like this for more than 100 years, can you still say that it will change? Who knew that it would really change, and Jiajing soon issued a second edict ordering all the eunuchs stationed in other places to return to Beijing. There are sluggish and sluggish people. Don't let go!

Get the eunuchs back, Jiajing will wear brocade clothes and guards to start investigating the eunuchs' illegal deeds, once it is found, or beaten out of the palace, or reformed for coolie labor, and if it is more serious, it will be directly killed, hanging outside the celebrant to show the public, the eunuchs finally realized that this master is indeed real! As a result, the power of the eunuchs fell into the trough of history, not only was it not allowed to interfere in the government affairs, but it was also impossible to collude with the officials, and they did not even have the power to buy property. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor had been more lenient in recent years, he would have handed over the Jiangnan weaving piece to the eunuchs. Big eunuchs like Chen Hong and Huang Jin can't even save enough pension money, so they really want to make your rootless predecessors laugh off their big teeth.

An emperor who looks down on eunuchs like this. How could you have the idea of reusing eunuchs again? This is not a contradiction, because whether you don't use it or reuse it, it's just a choice that suits the situation at the time.

Because if the emperor wants to govern the huge empire, he must rely on civil officials, but most of those talented civil officials are unruly diehards. In particular, he likes to work against the emperor" This is not surprising, because the scholars are loyal to the country, not to a certain emperor, and the emperor will equate loyalty to the country with himself.

If you can't think of a pot, you can't pee a pot, and the ministers are very terrible, and often occupy the commanding heights of morality, full of holes and holes called Chengren and Meng said righteousness, and they are not afraid of sacrifice at all, let alone bloodshed, "If anyone is beaten on the board because he offends the emperor, or is dismissed and exiled, then no matter whether it is right or wrong, he will become famous and become the object of admiration of the world."

Therefore, few scholars from Xuanren are afraid of the emperor, and there are even hypocrites who are famous for provoking the emperor as a shortcut to the south, so the monarchs and ministers often fight. Although the emperor has a high status. But a good tiger can't stand up to a pack of wolves, and it is inevitable that he will be bullied by those well-educated people and scolding masters, and it is not okay not to find someone to help.

So the emperor looked around, except for the eunuchs. Nothing can help. Because of their good ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to let future generations sit firmly in the country, directly through various means, the possibility of relatives, imperial relatives, and old superiors to abuse power was completely eliminated, and an unshakable ancestral system was established to prevent future generations from tampering with their descendants, but it also blocked the possibility of future generations and descendants asking for help from these people.

The emperor who is as eloquent as Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Zhi, of course he doesn't care, they have enough strength to suppress the civil official group, so that these guys can work hard and not make trouble, but the emperor behind them is not good, they grew up in a greenhouse, how can they be the opponents of those wolf-like officialdom old fritters? If you don't find a helper, you can only be at their mercy, and the only people who can help at this time are those eunuchs.

The eunuchs in the eyes of the emperor are far less hateful than those in the eyes of the officials and the people, after all, they have lived with these rootless people, and these people are flattering themselves all the time, and they are extremely obedient to themselves. Don't be with yourself. And because of his physical defects, it was decided that the eunuch would never be able to delusionally think about the dignity of the Ninety-Five, and even deviate from the imperial power. It is very difficult to even survive, and the ministers are not officials. You can also be a priest in the wild, but outside the object. You are no worse than being an official, but the eunuchs are not good, if they leave the palace, they will only be ridiculed and bullied until they leave this world miserably.

The loyalty of the eunuchs is to the emperor himself, and has nothing to do with the empire, which is the biggest difference between them and civil officials. So when the emperor is bullied and needs help, he will be the first to think of them. Of course, because the eunuchs are physically disabled, generally psychologically abnormal, and have no culture, most of them are just rough and simple, so they often act in an extreme and dark way. made a mess of the country, so a wise emperor would not give too much power to the eunuchs. Because they don't have that ability at all.

When he was young and frivolous, Jiajing thought that he was wise enough, and in order to prove his legitimacy, he used the Taizu Commandment as a table everywhere.

In addition, during the Zhengde period, the eunuchs really made too much trouble, Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Gao Feng, Luo Xiang and other eight tigers directly manipulated the government and persecuted the ministers, making the government and the opposition occupy the smoke and anger, and the officials and the people were extremely resentful. As Jiajing, who has just picked up the throne, severely cracking down on illegal eunuchs and restricting the power of eunuchs will undoubtedly allow him to win the hearts of the people.

And Jiajing is extremely confident, he believes that he can deal with everyone, and he doesn't need the help of eunuchs at all. As a result, he really did it when he was young, and Jiajing relied on his unsparing energy. All the ministers who opposed him were expelled from the court, some were promoted and deleted. Only the newcomer took over and then became older, and he mastered the emperor's heart, so he passed a series of checks and balances, so that the ministers were always mired in infighting, and had to compete to curry favor with him, and had won the emperor's support to defeat the opponent.

Through all kinds of unpredictable imperial techniques, Jiajing really won everyone for twenty years, and he ate everyone to death with just one person, of course, there is no need for eunuchs to add to the chaos. But today is not the same as before, he is old, sick, and not as energetic as before, and what is even more terrifying is that he has been an emperor for decades, and has been studied by the people below for decades, and the emperor's mental tricks have been cracked, and there is no secret to speak of. He even now has someone who can use himself to achieve his goals. And more than one person has the ability to do this.

After a long period of psychological construction, Emperor Jiajing finally understood a truth, the era of being able to ** hundreds of officials by himself alone is gone, if he does not make changes, he will go from a monkey trickster to a monkey who is wanted, which he can't accept anyway.

For the sake of dignity, for the sake of rights, and in order not to be treated as a monkey, Jiajing decided to go back on his word. He wanted to follow the example of the previous emperors and delegate authority to the eunuchs to check and balance the ministers who were increasingly inconsiderate of themselves!

As for what kind of disaster this will bring to the old man, it has never been Jiajing's consideration.

Therefore, after testing the minds of the ministers and strengthening their determination to continue fighting, Jiajing began to rectify the inner court. This is nothing unusual. Before you want to use it, you should beat it first, which has always been the proper meaning of the question.

Who knew that this knock didn't matter, and almost knocked the twenty-four yamen apart! Jiajing just wanted to check the accounts to see who was loyal and who was greedy. Who is available, who should be killed, and as a result, more than a dozen key yamen. All have big problems! Wine vinegar noodle bureau resells tribute wine. The Salary Division resells tribute charcoal, cloak bureaus, and knitting bureaus, and directly sells the Shu Kumhu silk in the treasury, and then fills their private pockets and sits on the ground to share the spoils, most of which embezzle more than 100,000 taels a year, and some of which have tens of thousands of taels. Only departments like the Duty Hall Division and the Metropolitan Knowledge Division, which are not greedy, dare to say that they are innocent.

However, the eunuchs didn't have a good brain, and they knew that if even the ancestors of the celebrant were trapped, everyone would be completely helpless, so they gritted their teeth and took all the responsibilities and carried the black cauldron for the four ancestors, which is why the four of them could still kneel in front of the emperor.

Jiajing looked at the four great masters coldly and said, "Really" Within ten steps, there must be fragrant grass. Yikes! The cabinet was overgrown with grass, and the house of the son's house was overgrown with grass. Now even the twenty-four yamen are overgrown with grass. My Ming Dynasty is really luxuriant! The Emperor's voice was flat, and there was no expression on his face. But anyone can feel his murderous aura.

I only heard the Son of Heaven angrily say, "You slaves. Looking down at what he was wearing, which one was not a flowery red python robe? Those officials below the third grade in the imperial court are not better dressed than you! Why don't you know self-love, so you have to add grass to yourself? ”

Chen Hong and Huang Jin kowtowed vigorously, making a dull thudding sound, and their foreheads were blurred with blood and flesh and blood.

Don't knock or Jiajing shouted to stop, but he didn't let them go, staring at the four big bingbi and said, "Lian knows." They didn't give you four out, they were expecting you to save their lives! As he spoke, his face was very hideous, and he said, "You have miscalculated!" Lian is not a master to be bullied, this time I have to let you find out clearly, if you dare to cover them, Lian will pick your skin! ”

The four of them responded in a trembling voice, and said, "The slave and maid will never live up to the expectations of the master."

"Get out!" Jiajing issued an expulsion order and said, "Get out!" So the four of them went out in silence.

The eunuchs who were kneeling outside, when they saw the four ancestors coming out, they all got up and surrounded them, and wanted to inquire about the situation inside. saw Chen Hong straighten up, gritted his teeth and said, "Arrest them all!" A group of purple-clothed Dongchang fans stepped forward and tied up the dozen or so big eunuchs.

The eunuchs knew that this was a last resort, and they did not cry or annoy, but begged for mercy. Let the four great bingbi have relatives in their hearts, and after returning to the duty room of the celebrant supervisor, they sat in their respective chairs, and there was no quarrel in the past, only a gloomy cloud.

"What should I do? Huang Jin said loudly: "The children didn't bite us out, we can't die without help." ”

"How can I save it?" Chen Hong said with a gloomy face, "The master said, whoever dares to be a dog will be skinned!" ”

"Then you can't see death, don't save it!" Huang Jin said loudly: "Otherwise, are we still human?"

"Huang Gonggong can't say that," Ma Quandao said, "It's not that we don't want to save them, but we can't do anything."

Chen Hong and the two also nodded and said, "You come up with a way, if it is feasible, we will do it immediately!" ”

"I really have a way!" Zhuo Jin blinked his small eyes and said.

It's just a story, I don't want to cause any controversy")
