I have Futian in my heart

Chapter 752 Situation

It's not that he is so nostalgic, but that this guy later joined the eunuch party.Now that Li Hongyu died, the eunuch might fall, so this guy came to hug Zheng Xiaoming's thigh.

However, the situation in the court that this guy explained was fairly fair, and what he said was quite profound.

"In short, the civil servants of the outer dynasty are constantly growing bigger and bullying the imperial power. It is best for the emperor to be a rubber stamp, stay in the palace honestly and have children, and don't care about other things, don't do it...

This naturally conflicted with the emperor. In his later years, Emperor Yuanxing realized that the civil service group was too big.It was too late when he wanted to support the noble general again!
Apart from being in the capital, the honorable military generals no longer have much foundation.

On the contrary, although the current emperor is young, he is really talented, and he thought of the idea of ​​using eunuchs to deal with foreign officials! "Xu Rui said.

Zheng Xiaoming said strangely: "Wait a minute, what you're talking about should be a routine operation, right? Isn't it all done since the Han and Tang Dynasties?"

"So, this is where the current emperor's brilliance lies!" Xu Rui was full of praise for the current emperor's methods.

"In the former dynasty, the two emperors Lingheng used eunuchs to fight against the court officials, which repeatedly caused the disaster of the party. As a result, the civil officials of the foreign court and the royal family turned against each other, so that there was a rebellion in Taipingdao, and later the separatism of the princes... …

To be honest, this is all part of the court officials' resistance to imperial power.

The so-called monarch treats his ministers like dirt, and the ministers regard the emperor like a bandit.That's why the previous dynasty was destroyed.

Although the current emperor used Li Hongyu, he did not directly fight against the civil officials of the foreign dynasty.

On the contrary, let Li Hongyu win over a group of courtiers and form an eunuch party to fight against civil officials...

This is the brilliance of today's emperor's methods! "

Zheng Xiaoming shook his head when he heard the words: "In the previous dynasty, after the disaster of the party, didn't those civil servants and celebrities fight with the eunuchs?
Then it was the failure of the battle, which completely lost nostalgia for the previous dynasty and overturned the entire empire.

Now that the northern civil servants rely on eunuchs to fight with the Southern Party, how can they be reconciled if the Southern Party is defeated?
I'm afraid that in a short time, the whole Jiangnan will be full of wars, and the court will be at odds with it! "

After the civil service group grew bigger, it split internally and divided into several cronies according to the region.

However, due to the fierce fighting, they merged and reorganized continuously in the end, forming the Southern Party and the Northern Party, which are mainly divided into North and South.

The south is where the essence of the Great Chu is located. The so-called outstanding people and prosperous economy account for more than half of the officials in the DPRK and China.

The Beidang was naturally no opponent, and was beaten in a mess.That's why he went to seek refuge with Li Hongyu and became an eunuch.Then press down on the Southern Party to fight!
But if the Southern Party loses a lot, will it really be reconciled?
I'm afraid not?

At that time, they lurked in the local area and instigated local division and centrifugation.

Most of Chu's taxes come from the south. Once they don't get support from the south and don't have the money to suppress the rebellion...the story of the previous dynasty will repeat itself!
Therefore, although power tactics are powerful, they really cannot affect the overall situation of history.

With the development of the situation, no matter how powerful the emperor's tactics are, he will not be able to restore this leaky ship.

Of course, this is not Zheng Xiaoming's conjecture, but something that happened in history...

In the history of Great Chu where Zheng Xiaoming lived, the later situation developed like this.

(There is another time and space in another world, which also developed in this way. However, Emperor Tianqi died suddenly, and the Donglin Party in the south of the Yangtze River gained power.

The so-called Wei Zhongxian eunuch party is the Qi party, Chu party and other cliques gathered under the banner of the eunuch party to jointly deal with the Donglin party in the south of the Yangtze River.

Later, Emperor Chongzhen could no longer collect taxes from the south of the Yangtze River... he could only continue to increase taxes on the lower class people.

History just keeps repeating itself!It's just that when the Manchu Qing entered the customs, all this was interrupted. )
Then Xu Rui never thought that Zheng Xiaoming would say that. Now that he thinks about it carefully, is it really possible for Zheng Xiaoming to say that?

Is their Northern Party defeated?Will you be willing?That's why they, the civil servants of the foreign court, disregarded their face and went to seek refuge with Li Hongyu and became eunuchs.

But what if the eunuch loses again?Will they be willing?
impossible!

They represent the interests of scholar-officials from all over the north. If they are really expelled from the court by the Southern Party, they will have no room to survive.If the local interests of all parts of the north cannot be guaranteed in the court, then Xu Rui is sure that there will be turmoil in the north immediately.

The local tycoons will incite the bandits and bandits who support them to rebel, and there may even be border tycoons colluding with the barbarians outside the pass to break through the pass...

The party struggle between the North and the South is actually a struggle between local interests in the North and the South.There is no way out for anyone!

The southern party feels that we in the south contribute more than half of the world's taxes, and we need financial transfers to support the poor in the north, so naturally they are unwilling.While wanting southern officials to occupy more positions, they want to reduce taxes in the south.

While the north bears the pressure of national defense, at the same time, it feels that those southern barbarians are making trouble for no reason. If you change the rules of hundreds of years, you can change them as you please, and they want to drive us all to extinction. Do you really think we are made of mud?

We are poor in the north, and you southern barbarians are rich, so you should pay more... and be less official.

In short, there is no way to reconcile such a conflict of interests.

The original civil servant group was still in unison against the imperial power and the two accomplices, the nobles and the eunuchs.

Later, after the civil servant group became dominant, this own contradiction came out first!
Xu Rui is now considered an old bureaucrat, and has a deep understanding of the situation in the court. Hearing what Zheng Xiaoming said, his eyes were at a loss: "So, no matter what, I, Dachu, can't be saved?"

If you really say that, this is a deadlock. No matter how you do it, no matter how wise the emperor is, it will not be able to change the situation.

So how long can the Great Chu court last? Twenty years or thirty years?

Could it be that the dynasty will change by then?Is it before his death or after his death?

I have dedicated my whole life to the Great Chu, so do I still have to serve the new Dynasty when I am old?
But Zheng Xiaoming said with a slight smile: "Not necessarily!"

When Xu Rui heard it, he was greatly moved, and couldn't help asking: "Is there anything Xiayang Gong can do?"

Zheng Xiaoming said: "The current Da Chu is a typical introversion! All troubles are caused by introversion.

Since inward rolling is not enough, should we roll outward? "

"Outward scrolling? Inward scrolling?" Xu Rui was suddenly confused.

In fact, from the moment Da Chu stopped expanding, the current situation was already doomed.Even if the emperor carefully maintained the balance of the troika, it would not work.

Under the constant accumulation of contradictions, there will eventually be unexpected events that will break the balance!
