Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 402 This is a chaotic country

The Ming Dynasty stayed on the conservative road for too long. Confucianism was the main body, and under the constant emphasis of scholar-bureaucrats and scholars, the mainstream ideology of the Ming Dynasty was very conservative, and this dominant advantage was long-term maintained by the civil servants. As a result, whenever there are policies or ideas that harm the overall interests, there will be a strong wave of opposition at the central and local levels!

Confucianism is not crap.

The real dregs are the groups that use the banner of Confucianism to seek benefits for themselves!

It's not the thought that's scary.

The scary thing is people!

The phenomenon of human cannibalism is extremely cruel and realistic in any period and under any background.

Zhu Youxiao has seen through this precisely, so the changes and new policies he wants to promote are precisely positioned in the old system and old regulations. He will not engage in vigorous ones, and will not impose new systems and new regulations that are not perfect. At the local level, this poses too great a threat to the underlying groups.

What Zhu Youxiao wants to do is to target the sensitive areas of the civil servants, gradually regain all the power that has been lost before, and focus on the overall idea of ​​strengthening imperial power to continuously support and discover new people so that they can succeed in their work. Continue to make progress in the right position, form a competitive tone between the old and new factions, continuously increase central fiscal revenue, continue to attack privileged groups, and continue to attack bureaucratic ideas. When the time is truly mature, we will continue to expand the benefits that benefit the country and the people. Achieve the strategic goal of reviving the Ming Dynasty!

Involving the suspension and restriction of Zonglu's military service, and the preparation for the establishment of the Emperor Ming Zongjun in the name of the Zongren Mansion, this series of clear edicts caused an uproar in the court once they were made public, and even caused a wave of public opinion. In an instant, the Sichuan Guiping rebellion was suppressed, and all the civil servants in Yousi were excited!

"This restriction cannot be changed randomly. We must advise Your Majesty. Our dynasty has never had an army from the Emperor Ming Dynasty. We gathered all the clans from all over the country. Who knows what troubles may arise!"

"That's right! There is no precedent for a clan government to control the army. If this is implemented, wouldn't the clan government have the power to shake the country's foundation?"

"Your Majesty is too arbitrary in doing things. Since the establishment of the Zongren Mansion, even when Emperor Taizu Gao was in power, he has never proposed the establishment of the Emperor Mingzong Army. This is obviously a great threat to the Sheji Association. !”

"How can the etiquette and clan system be changed at the drop of a hat? How can it be changed at the drop of a hat?"

"Yuan Fu! Dear Pavilion Elders! Your Majesty cannot let your Majesty mess around with this matter. If we don't stop such hasty and frivolous decisions, will the Ming Dynasty still be the Ming Dynasty?!"

At the location of the cabinet, officials from the outer dynasty gathered together. They were excited and strongly opposed. The commotion was so great that it gave all the ministers in the cabinet a headache.

Ok.

After the promulgation of these edicts, Zhu Youxiao stayed deep in the Qianqing Palace and did not summon the angry ministers, not even the cabinet ministers.

Such a clear attitude is the only one. No matter how heated the matter is in the government, since it is a clear purpose, it must be implemented.

This caused the ministers who could not see the emperor to swarm the cabinet. Even under this situation, a large number of officials and censors were kneeling outside the Meridian Gate!

The emperor was resolute, and the civil servants were equally resolute.

"All questions focus on the Huang Ming Zong Army."

In such an environment, Sun Chengzong frowned slightly, turned his head and whispered to Bi Ziyan who was sitting next to him: "Mr. Bi Ge, what do you think of His Majesty's decision? The food and salary for suppressing the Sichuan-Gui rebellion can now be regarded as Solved, Zonglu's special supply alone can meet the needs, but the current court is quite dissatisfied with this Emperor Ming Zongjun." "What can I think? Looking at the reactions of the ministers in the court, this That’s the big deal.”

Looking at the angry officials, Bi Ziyan sighed softly and said: "If I am not wrong, I really want your majesty to take back his order. I am afraid that Zonglu, who has stopped sending troops, will not be needed for the Sichuan-Gui rebellion." , or even suppressing the Jianlu rebellion in Liaodong, these troubles will be thrown to the cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Bi Ziyan pointed out the problem to the point.

Currently affected by the incident involving Emperor Mingzong's army, many ministers in the imperial court are not paying attention to the Sichuan Guiping rebellion, but some things will develop for the better just because you are not paying attention.

At this time, a large number of people and troops have left the capital in batches, either going to Hanzhong or Guizhou to mobilize around the rebellion of the Sichuan-Guizhou chieftains.

For example, Sun Chuanting, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, has taken over the handover with the new Prefect Han Yiliang, and is coordinating the military affairs department's dispatch of grain inspectors to Hanzhong Prefecture under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi Province. Cao Wenzhao, Zhou Yuji, Sun Yingyuan, The Four Guards Camp led by Huang Degong, but unknown to Si, there were also a group of young generals accompanying them, such as Ruhu Dawei, Fierce as a Tiger, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, and Wang Ziyong.

The above-mentioned groups of generals and colleges were able to be awarded military positions in the Beijing camp by virtue of their initial support for the Liao Dynasty. Most of them were guerrilla generals. However, they left Beijing this time and rushed to Hanzhong Prefecture to participate in countering the rebellion at any time. As long as the Sichuan-Guiping rebellion could be suppressed. , then as long as they make military exploits, they can get corresponding promotions and rewards!

Even because Shi Yong'an left the post of assistant to manage the military affairs of the capital, and Sun Chuanting left to be the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, a group of imperialists such as Fan Jingwen and Han Yiliang were promoted to new posts. If there was no incident of Emperor Mingzong's army, then they wanted to take over the new posts. It will probably be criticized and questioned, but what about now?

No one cares about them at all!

Your Majesty, do you want to blow up the court?

Bi Ziyan, who had figured out some ideas, looked at the angry officials in front of him, and at the surrounded cabinet chief minister Zhu Guozuo and second minister Qian Qianyi, and he felt deeply in his heart.

The ministers gathered in the cabinet at present, in addition to those who have no factions, there are also Donglin Party, Qi Chu Zhe Party and other factions. This is the first time since the Tianqi Dynasty that they have not restrained each other and have gathered together for the same thing to clarify their respective opinions. views and positions.

Zhu Guozuo, the sitting chief minister of the cabinet, was so passive and helpless for the first time. All the officials gathered here explained their positions and opinions one by one. They talked about everything. No one wanted to hear what the cabinet had to say. .

"enough!!"

Wang Xiangqian, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said: "What you are going to say, the chief minister and I all know. The cabinet is not a vegetable market. It is as messy as you. Where are the etiquette? Where are the rules? If you really want to remonstrate with the emperor, take it back If you are ordered to avoid unrest in the country, then submit memorials to the Secretary of General Affairs. The cabinet will accept these memorials, instead of being surrounded by the cabinet like now. You say a word, I say a word. If everyone is like you, then what is the use of the cabinet? ?!!”

well said!

Bi Ziyan looked at the officials who were no longer making a fuss, and couldn't help but praise him in his heart. He wanted to control the situation now. Even if he wanted to solve the problem of Emperor Mingzong's army, there must be regulations. If everyone is like this, Are the piles of government affairs still being dealt with?

In fact, in Bi Ziyan's heart, there is no particular resistance to the special establishment of the Emperor Ming Zong Army in the Zongren Mansion, and he even quite approves it. After all, he uses this as an excuse to win over the clans from all over the country, so that the imperial court stops issuing clans. Lu, so as not to cause too much backlash.

As long as the Jianlu rebellion and the Tusi rebellion can be resolved, the imperial court can quickly adjust back. But what Bi Ziyan doesn't know is that since Zonglu has been suspended and restricted, Zhu Youxiao has never thought of issuing it again. Those princes, county princes, etc., after all, it is better to use this money elsewhere than to let them enjoy it. When the Huang Ming Zong army truly forms a fighting force, the plan to move the vassal overseas can be gradually launched...
