Chapter 188 Dog bites dog, a mouthful of hair
As a privileged group who lived with the country during the Ming Dynasty, the nobles and relatives are definitely a special group. They wear the iron hat of knighthood and enjoy the blessings of the Ming Dynasty. They have countless properties under their names, as well as loyal family members such as generals and servants.
If the birth of children is not controlled, as far as the imperial power is concerned, they will be considered a rebel.
But restraint does not mean killing.
The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty ripped out the backbones of the Ming Dynasty's nobles and relatives, drove them out of the court, and diluted their power. This inevitably caused an imbalance between civil and military affairs, which was not a good thing for the imperial power.
In the late Ming Dynasty, party strife became increasingly serious. Part of the reason was that without the checks and balances of Wu Xun, civil servants had no external fear, and then it turned into internal strife.
The Ming emperors who were forced to withdraw from the court and lose their power had no other choice but to make money in silence to maintain their own enjoyment, which further aggravated class conflicts.
"I won't talk nonsense. I will talk about a few points now."
Looking at the various expressions of his relatives, Emperor Chongzhen said: "First, the Jingwei Governor's Office must earnestly shoulder its responsibilities and handle the imperial guards' duties in the imperial city and the palace city. Don't think about it with the Jingying.
Everything is the same, just fool around with things, everything that should be there must be there, and the stage that needs to be built must be set up.”
In order to check and balance the imperial court and the civil servants in the imperial court, Emperor Chongzhen must reuse his relatives and make them no longer just mascots.
Before the new generation of heirs to the honorary clan is cultivated and has the ability to take charge of their own affairs, Emperor Chongzhen can only choose the taller ones from the shorter ones and use them first.
Emperor Chongzhen also knew that some of the comrades in Beijing were really in trouble, but with insufficient manpower, what else could he do besides sifting through them?
"Secondly, there must be three people in the Jingwei Governor's Mansion every day, who stay in front of the emperor and are responsible for the imperial guards." Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I asked you to serve in the Jingwei Governor's Mansion, not for your enjoyment.
The power has been given to you, and you must use it well. Those who do not perform well will be punished.
In addition, as long as the descendants of the ancestors in Beijing are qualified, except those with disabilities, they will all be selected to join the vanguard of the imperial army. I want to employ people, and you, the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, must be tough."
Good guy.
Zhu Chunchen, Tang Guozuo, and other members of the imperial family who served as honorary officials in the capital, each one of them had their eyes shining brightly and their moods were so exciting.
The emperor does not dislike them, he wants to reuse them.
For the Ming Dynasty's relatives, it is definitely impossible to lose the right to speak in the court and feel depressed. But in the face of the cruel reality, what else can they do except accept their fate?
You can't rebel, right?
The guys from Ming Xunqi are all very shrewd, and they are all good old foxes. They will not get involved in anything that is not beneficial.
"Thirdly, I want to set up a criminal silver system in the Capital Governor's Mansion. Don't think that I don't know about the things you did before." Seeing Zhu Chunchen and others getting excited, Emperor Chongzhen's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice.
: "Also, I saw your performance during the expedition, and I was very dissatisfied."
"I don't want to mention the embarrassing things before, but I won't punish you. None of you have a long memory. I won't mention any of you. If you want to avoid being held accountable, just pay as much money as you want.
I won’t tell you, you can decide in your own mind, but as soon as I say something ugly, if I dare to do it again next time, I won’t be able to do it.”
"..."
Zhu Chunchen and others, who had been excited just now, now felt frightened, especially Zhu Chunchen, Tang Guozuo and other accompanying officials. They thought of their previous performance and the emperor's attitude towards them at that time. They thought that the emperor would not
When I asked about these things again, I didn't expect that I would be waiting for them here.
And through what Emperor Chongzhen said, many thoughtful relatives thought of the things they had done during their tenure in the Beijing camp, drinking the blood of soldiers and eating empty pay. Even when Li Bangfa was ordered to supervise the affairs of the Beijing camp, they
Secretly instigating officials in the prison camp and civilian officials to impeach Li Banghua, not wanting this matter to continue.
I thought it was done very secretly, but I didn’t expect that the emperor knew about it. Could it be that the emperor had dirty information about them in his hands?
Thinking of some honorable relatives here, I thought carefully about the so-called crime-discussing silver system. What did the emperor mean by this? Did he not investigate them after paying the money? Or did he say that he would investigate and handle them, but the charges would be lighter?
There is also no specific rules for handing over crime money. It is up to them to decide how much money should be paid. This matter is difficult to guess and difficult to handle.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about what these kinsmen were thinking, and then said: "Fourthly, the Shangzhi Personal Guards under the jurisdiction of the Jingwei Governor's Mansion must be established in real numbers. If there is any falsehood, let me find out."
, no matter who is involved, there will be punishment even if the official position is lost.
The Jianlu invasion of the Ming Dynasty was an embarrassing event and caused many jokes to the Ming Dynasty. Yuan Chonghuan, a mediocre minister, must be punished severely. However, this matter also involves the court. As a result, the imperial city and the imperial guard order in the palace city will be severely punished.
Nothing can go wrong.
By the way, we have to take shifts here at the Military Aircraft Department. There is a vacancy for the Minister of Military Aircraft. Duke Cheng, please join the Military Aircraft Department as a candidate. Don't let me down again."
Zhu Chunchen showed a look of astonishment. What the emperor said made him feel shocked and confused, and he couldn't keep up with the emperor's thoughts.
Under the seemingly incompatible situation, there is a deep meaning hidden. The key is that the candidates entered the military base, which made Zhu Chunchen clearly feel that the emperor really wanted to reuse their relatives, not just what he said.
In fact, it was not just Zhu Chunchen who thought this way. The group of people headed by Tang Guozuo all started muttering in their hearts. What the emperor said this time revealed too much information, and it was really confusing for a while.
'Take your time and guess, I do want to use you, but how you want me to use you depends on your performance.'
Looking at Zhu Chunchen and the others, Emperor Chongzhen looked indifferent, but secretly said in his heart: 'If you are employed as soon as you come up, the court will definitely be in chaos, so let's start with the Jingwei Governor's Mansion and the Military Aircraft Department.
As for the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army and the Beijing Camp, we have to take things slowly. If you take a big step in one breath, it is easy to get into trouble. It is better to do less of this painful thing.'
Employing people is a science, especially for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This is a test of the emperor's mental skills. The emperor's descendants themselves have had their backs ripped out. If you give them too much in one breath, it will cause the emperor's descendants to overcorrect and even call the civil servants.
The crowd is alert and rebounding, so how to stay on top of things is the key.
As for what Emperor Chongzhen threw out, the group of honorable relatives of the Capital Governor's Office must honestly hand over their sins in the end. After all, this is also a test for the emperor, but what they get in exchange is some real power. For Emperor Chongzhen,
