Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 144 Why did His Majesty rebel
From the Ming Dynasty, Guozuo passed down to the Tianqi Dynasty, the order in the central temple was chaotic, the contradictions were sharp, and the struggles were fierce, and then the dispersion affected the local areas. The root cause was the general tone of officials as the foundation, officials as noble, and officials as respected.

Party strife existed throughout the Ming dynasty and took various forms, with old and new factions taking the lead. The Ming Dynasty maintained its rule under this situation. Why did this trend become more and more intense starting from the Wanli dynasty? To the point where it is difficult to mediate?
After tracing back to the origin, Zhu Youxiao summarized many key points, including the extremely obscure but real conflict between the North and the South, the highly touted and longed-for thought of co-ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, the pursuit of profits by officials and gentry and government and business interest groups, and the changes in the tax and servitude system. The overall downward trend, a large amount of silver flowed into the Ming Dynasty, the central financial system collapsed, privileges were rampant, and the gap between the rich and the poor became increasingly wide...

When a big avalanche strikes, no snowflake is innocent.

The inheritance of the Ming Dynasty to the Tianqi Dynasty, in a sense, has reached a point where it is difficult to return, but what can Zhu Youxiao do?
The only way is to follow the path of the civil servants, leaving the civil servants with nowhere to go, and then gradually promote the iteration of the officialdom and maintain overall stability.

If the reform cannot be accomplished in one year, it will take three years. If it fails in three years, it will take five years. If it fails in five years, it will take ten years. Youth is Zhu Youxiao's greatest asset!

Zhu Youxiao would never give up on the political cause of becoming the leader of China.

In the troubled times, Emperor Taizu Gao could do it, but Zhu Youxiao could not do it.

People have to be self-aware.

The national conditions and general trend of the era we live in are completely different from those in the late Yuan Dynasty. If Zhu Youxiao dared to shout the slogan of conquering the world again, he would be in a desperate situation!
The Ming Dynasty under the Tianqi Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty under the Chongzhen Dynasty. Although it had many problems and troubles, it was not to the point of completely breaking up and overturning the table.

cabinet.

"The situation in the court is worrying!!"

Han Xu had a complicated expression. He leaned on the official hat chair and looked at the silent Liu Yishen, "Why did your Majesty do this? I thought about it but couldn't figure out why the secrets such as the two cases of Hongwan's transfer to the palace had to be passed through Huang Ming." The Times published it, and there are many people talking about this matter in both the government and the public.

Doesn't this undermine the dignity of the country?

Doesn’t this undermine the majesty of the heavenly family?

The Fu clan who lived in the Tenth Prince's Palace passed away suddenly. Although few people knew about it, there was a lot of private discussion among officials in the court. "

"This is the brilliance of His Majesty."

Liu Yishui had a complicated expression on his face and said quietly: "Brother Yu Chen, didn't you realize that the situation that existed in the temple had quietly changed after Yang Lian and the others made a fuss and Hong Chengchou announced the case in the Wenhua Hall? "

Why didn't I find it?

Han Xu sighed softly. He had never encountered such a situation in all his years as an official. The court was strangely quiet now, unlike before, and many people began to wait and watch.

"Brother Yu Chen, have you noticed?"

Liu Yishen frowned and said: "Although His Majesty lives in the inner court and does not often hold court meetings or imperial court meetings, his control over the court has become increasingly..."

"What does Jisuke want to say?"

Han Xu became alert and looked at Liu Yishuo.

"Didn't Brother Yu Chen see the memorial forwarded by the Ministry of War?"

Liu Yishen asked rhetorically.

What memorial?
Han Xu was stunned. These days, he had been distracted by the constant incidents or disturbances. He had no time to read the many memorials that needed to be dealt with.

"The King's Order Flag!"

Liu Yishen said with a serious expression: "Without our knowledge, His Majesty successively sent Xiong Tingbi to the Liaodong Administrative Strategy. The Governor of Jiliao was in Jin Dynasty, and he was specially given a royal flag. The troops under the Governor of Jiliao were prepared and there were many officials. He was arrested by Jin Yiwei, and the person responsible for this matter is Luo Sigong."

"what?!"

Han Xu's expression changed when he heard this, and he looked at Liu Yishen in disbelief, "Such a thing could happen? It's impossible! How can the king's flag be given lightly..."

"Brother Yu Chen also thinks it's impossible?"

Liu Yishui smiled bitterly and said: "But the situation is like this. I even think that Yuan Keli, the governor of Shandong, is very likely to be secretly given a royal flag by the emperor. These... are all due to the turbulent situation in the court, without the knowledge of the officials in the court, His Majesty did what Gang Gang did arbitrarily." Liao affairs? !
Han Xu suddenly woke up, thinking of what Liu Yishuo said, Han Xu discovered something, and the emperor had done a lot of things arbitrarily before.

The Sichuan and Zhejiang troops recruited to aid Liao returned to Beijing.

Adjust the candidates for admiral and assistant commander of the military affairs of the capital.

The newly established Fengtai and Xishan camps were established.

The military bureau under the jurisdiction of the inner court moved out of the city.

Expand the Four Guards Camp and Warrior Camp...

"Is it possible that your Majesty has been thinking about the conquest of Jianlu from the very beginning?"

Han Xu suppressed his surprise and said to Liu Yishui: "This is indeed something that the country needs to consider, but why does your majesty do this? Does your majesty just don't trust Yousi of the Ministry of War?"

Han Xu really couldn't understand why the emperor would do this.

"Your Majesty doesn't trust more than just the Secretary of the Ministry of War."

Liu Yishui said with a sad expression: "Didn't Brother Yu Chen find anything unusual in the Saarhu War case that Yuan Keli personally tried before?"

Being reminded by Liu Yishen, Han Xu fell into deep thought.

The more I think about it, the more frightened I become.

The more I think about it, the more frightened I become.

A terrible thought arose in Han Xu's heart.

"Jisuke~"

"Don't tell it."

Seeing what Han Xu was about to say, Liu Yishen hurriedly stretched out his hand to interrupt: "Brother Yu Chen, I know what you want to say. It's good that you understand these clearly."

Han Xu was silent.

In fact, whether Liu Yishen or Han Xu, as traditional Ming Dynasty bureaucrats, they have been up and down in officialdom for decades. They are not afraid of the emperor being obsessed with women, not afraid of the emperor's cronies, not afraid of the emperor being lazy and inactive...

After all, the Ming Dynasty's system was perfect, at least in their eyes. Even if the emperor stayed in the inner court for a long time, there was no problem in maintaining basic stability.

What they fear most is that they cannot figure out the emperor's thoughts and do not know what the emperor wants to do. This is not only afraid of Liu Yishen and others, but also other civil servants in the court.

"The country is in a difficult situation now. Even if your Majesty wants to suppress the rebellion, he must discuss it with Yousi to avoid the lessons learned from the past happening again."

Han Xu frowned and said: "How can the conquest be so simple? The Liao affairs are so complicated. How can your majesty just sit back and watch the chaos of the court for the sake of the Liao affairs? If this continues, won't the country and the dynasty be even more chaotic? Your Majesty How can you do this? This is obviously irresponsible to the country."

"It's no use talking about this right now."

Liu Yishen sighed softly: "Now there are officials in the court who have their own plans, and the capital and the capital area are also affected. Since your Majesty's reign, whatever you want to do must be done, even if it does not comply with the etiquette and patriarchal laws. Relying on factory guards must be done.

For the current plan, all we can do is to wait and see what happens. After all, the current situation cannot be changed just by saying we want to change it. "

What is this!

What is this!
Han Xu's mood was extremely complicated. When he thought of all the changes between the government and the public, a deep sense of powerlessness arose deep in Han Xu's heart. He really couldn't see through the court now, and he didn't dare to go. Thinking about what he will face in the future, with such an arbitrary emperor, no matter how much he thinks, it will be useless. And thoughts like this are not only born in Han Xu's mind...
