The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 552: Zhu Jianshen was scolded for a reason

Chapter 552: Zhu Jianshen was scolded for a reason
The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
"This is the difference between public and private interests."

Liu Heng looked at the sweet potatoes on the table that had already sprouted green shoots and were ready for planting, and said calmly:
"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the Mandate of Heaven for the Liu Family."

“Where does this destiny come from?”

Liu Qi was silent for a moment.

"Eliminate the tyrannical Qin and bring peace to the world."

Liu Heng nodded and continued to ask:

"The emperor of the Tang Dynasty prospers the world."

"Where does his destiny come from?"

Liu Qi thought of the man who was born rich and noble, and couldn't help but sigh:
"The Zhenguan Reign was a time of both civil and military power."

Liu Heng fiddled with the green buds.

"Zhao and Song family, what is the destiny?"

Liu Qi shook his head.

"It is difficult to say whether the ruler and his subjects are compatible or not."

Liu Heng looked at Liu Qi, who had become somewhat calmer, and said calmly:

"Law and etiquette, their roots are still power."

“Only power can guarantee the careful implementation of law and propriety.”

"But the emperor's supreme power cannot be restrained by law, so it can only be restrained by the rites of justice and justice."

"But this constraint is flexible, not rigid."

"To put it bluntly, our Han Dynasty's laws and rituals do not follow the old path of the Qin Dynasty."

"The ruler and his subjects are united in purpose and have only one goal: unification and stability."

"The Tang dynasty's rulers and ministers also had a common goal, surpassing the Sui dynasty and standing shoulder to shoulder with Emperor Taizong."

"Although the rulers and ministers of the Song Dynasty sometimes agreed and sometimes disagreed, they all had the ambition to recover their territory."

"Generally speaking, public-spiritedness outweighs private motives."

Liu Heng looked at the Ming Emperor in the sky and said in a long and deep voice:

"But can you tell me where the public spirit of the Ming Dynasty lies?"

“What are they giving their all for?”

"Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to rule the world for eternity by his own strength."

"The world is like a field, and officials are like pests."

"The seeds of disunity between the ruler and his subjects have been sown."

"Zhu Di used his great martial arts to suppress the threat."

"The reigns of Renzong and Xuanzong bridged the gap."

"Then Zhu Qizhen appeared and killed Yu Qian, causing all the previous efforts to be wasted."

"The law cannot restrain the emperor."

"The power in the hands of the emperor is always public power. Now there is an emperor who insists on using public power to satisfy his own desires, and it is against moral principles."

“What do you think the officials will think?”

Liu Qi listened silently, took a deep breath and said:
"If the ruler regards his subjects as his own hands and feet, then the subjects will regard the ruler as their own heart and soul."

"If the ruler treats his subjects like dogs and horses, then the subjects will treat the ruler like a fellow countryman."

"The Ming system treats them as dogs and horses, but there are still people like Yu Qian who are public-spirited."

"Yu Qian was single-minded and did not have a public spirit, but he still had ethical principles."

"Now……"

"Since the emperor can use public power to satisfy his own desires and has done so, why can't we?"

Liu Heng looked at Liu Qi who was seriously explaining his ideas and smiled.

"Qi'er, I never agree with your grandfather's view that the emperor is in opposition to the emperor."

"But I understand because of Li Si's previous experience."

"I want to tell you."

Liu Heng looked Liu Qi straight in the eye and said solemnly:
"As long as you sit in this position and serve the public and the world wholeheartedly."

"Then there is no distinction between monarch and subject."

"They are just extensions of you."

"The ruler and his subjects are one body, and what they embody is the common good of the world."

"If the ruler has private interests, the ministers will have desires. If the ruler and the ministers are in opposition, where is the public interest?"

"Without justice in the imperial court, how can the world be at peace?"

"The use of magic, power and selfishness is not the right path."

"Need not!"

……

[When the ruler and his subjects are in conflict, the standard groups in history will appear. 】

【eunuch.】

……

Yanhan·Lingdi Period
“This familiar taste…”

Liu Hong waved his hand to fan the cool breeze.

"Will he not come up with some ten constant attendants?"

……

Tang Xianzong Period
Li Chun seemed to see the future of the Ming Dynasty in an instant.

"Why is this so?"

Is it worth it for a woman?
……

Song Zhenzong period
"This kid has a bit of a rebellious streak in him."

Zhao Heng didn't know how to describe Zhu Jianshen.

But it depends on the current behavior.

He had strong hostility, distrust and hatred towards the officials in the court.

Liu E sighed with heartache.

"The people in the palace are best at putting down the powerful and praising the weak."

"A five-year-old child living in this kind of environment will definitely have some complaints."

……

【Since the fifth year of Chenghua (1451), Zhu Jianshen stopped attending court to discuss state affairs.】

[In fact, starting from Wang Zhen, the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty had been greatly suppressed. ]

[But luckily for him, Zhu Jianshen truly loves Wan Zhen'er! ]

【There were two eunuchs around Wan Zhen'er, named Liang Fang and Wei Xing. 】

[The two of them spent all their efforts to buy beautiful pearls and treasures and presented them to Wan Zhen'er, making her happy.]

[Liang Fang and Wei Xing took the opportunity to make a request to recommend their own followers to serve as eunuchs guarding various places to facilitate procurement.]

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang no longer even had the heart to get angry.

“Weird…”

He kept repeating these two words.

"It's really... weird."

Not attending court, but going against it.

A childlike confrontation.

"Da Ming's face..."

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
“Are there any normal people?”

Zhu Di was almost stunned!
This is obviously a bid for money and power!

This way of confrontation without attending court is outrageous enough.

Are we still allowing eunuchs to interfere in local affairs?

The bottom line of the literati is low, but the bottom line of the eunuchs is high? !

Or is it that the way you and the ministers seized power was this kind of method of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by eight hundred?

Are you crazy? !

Can't we divide and win over the ministers?

……

[In the Ming Dynasty, there were three departments: Dusi, Busi, and Ansi, which controlled the local military, financial, and judicial powers.]

[The original intention of the three divisions was to make the military, financial, and judicial powers independent of each other and to check and balance each other. ],
[Now we are sending a eunuch to take charge of the garrison. This is to have this eunuch replace the civil servants.]

[It is conceivable that the outside court disagrees. ]

[But what can you do if the court disagrees? If the emperor doesn't attend court, you won't be able to see him! ]

[The most important thing is that Wan Zhen'er agreed. ]

[So, Liang and Wei sent a group of their trusted followers to the Fuluo area to serve as eunuchs to guard the area.]

[Thus, a system of corruption from the inside out was constructed.]

[Zhu Jianshen was actually very aware of their practices, but he really loved Wan Zhen'er.]

【So I turned a blind eye. 】

……

The period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty
Liu Bingyi couldn't hold it in any longer.

"My dear, you are a little too relaxed and willful."

You are such a sentimental person, don't you take your country too seriously?

“No wonder it was arranged.”

If not you, who else should I choose?
……

[These eunuchs who guarded the local area amassed a lot of wealth. ]

[The eunuch Qian Neng, who guarded Yunnan, claimed that as long as money was paid, he could petition the court to upgrade the Tusi tribe from Xuanweisi to Xuanfusi.]

[Then it was revealed that his commander, Guo Jing, had raped the granddaughter of Nan Hannong, the envoy of Mubang.]

【All those implicated in this case were executed.】

【Only Qian could remain unscathed and even be promoted to the position of the garrison commander of Nanjing, where he would die. 】

[With such an example, all kinds of people rushed to find ways to get promoted, and the eunuchs also urgently needed manpower to expand their corruption system.]

[The level of education of palace maids and eunuchs is often not the same as that of civil officials who were Jinshi graduates, and they are even more likely to become hostile to each other. They are more likely to get involved with monks and Taoists. ] [During the reign of Emperor Xianzong, several famous "favorites" began to appear. ]

……

Datang.

Li Shimin had a headache after seeing this.

He is now unsure how much of the words from heaven can be trusted.

But all these decrees can’t be false, right?

At least eunuchs were sent to guard the place, right?
This incident is already challenging the general perception, not to mention that causing border riots can lead to promotion and a good ending.

No matter how you look at it, this emperor is just four words.

So stupid!

"Could this be Xianzong?"

……

[Initially, Liang Fang and others introduced several Taoist priests and Buddhist monks, including Li Zisheng, Sun Daoyu, and Ji Xiao.]

【Then I discovered that Taoism and Buddhism both have many branches, especially the Tibetan Buddhism system which is extremely large.】

【Zhu Jianshen was not stingy and treated everyone unfairly, and provided for them with large sums from the national treasury.】

[Monk Jixiao built Dachang Temple, demolished hundreds of houses, and spent hundreds of thousands of taels from the national treasury, for which he was severely impeached.]

[However, Monk Jixiao was only a small microcosm of the great rituals of Emperor Xianzong’s reign.]

[Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty conferred countless titles of Immortal, Dharma King, Buddha, and Imperial Master.]

[There are 437 Dharma Kings, 789 Tibetan Living Buddhas, and 120 Chinese Zen Masters.]

【There are 123 Taoist Immortals.】

[All these gods and immortals need to occupy people's houses and spend national funds to build magnificent temples like Monk Jixiao.]

……

{There is a reason why the Chenghua dynasty has a bad reputation.}
{Zhu Jianshen is one of those people who wants to spend his whole life healing his childhood, but the chain reaction of his healing of his childhood is too big.}
{Since ancient times, there has been a hidden line between the monarch and his subjects, and this hidden line is the patriarchal ethics. This is a very autonomous constraint.}
{And some short-sighted people will continue to break through this constraint.}
{But every breakthrough they make is an impact on the normal order of society, and even more so a chronic corrosion of the highest power holders. The so-called chronic disease is getting worse and worse.}
……

[If these flatterers are really just greedy for money, then that is probably secondary. ]

[The most terrifying thing is that they have completely touched the bottom line of officials all over the world.]

[Here we have to mention the Taoist priest named Li Zisheng.]

[In fact, he was not a real Taoist priest, but a minor official in the Provincial Government.]

[However, after learning that Zhu Jianshen favored monks and Taoists, he studied Taoism and bribed the favored eunuchs Liang Fang and Qian Yi with a large sum of money to recommend them to Zhu Jianshen.]

[As a result, Zhu Jianshen liked him very much when he saw him, so he bypassed the personnel system and directly issued a special decree to appoint him as the Supervisor of Shanglinyuan.]

[Soon after, he was successively promoted to Right Tongzhengshi and Left Tongzhengshi, becoming a thorn in the side of Liang Fang and others in the administrative system.]

[Li Zisheng summed up his career and felt that it was thanks to Zhu Jianshen's special decree to grant him an official position, which was a key step.]

[He has no achievements in the imperial examinations, so he will never be able to become an official like Tongzhengshi in his lifetime.]

[Liang Fang and others also felt that the imperial examination was a great hindrance to their promotion of their own people.]

【So Li Zisheng discussed with Liang Fang and others for a long time and urged Zhu Jianshen to establish the "Chuanfengguan" system. 】

[That is, bypassing the imperial examination, the emperor directly issued a special decree to grant official positions to certain people.]

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji didn't quite understand what Zhu Jianshen was thinking, so he turned to Li Mi for help.

Li Mi understood some of it, but he also felt that the emperor was too naive.

"In the final analysis, it's nothing more than a struggle for power."

"Zhu Jianshen did not trust his ministers and wanted to bypass the imperial examination system to promote only his own court officials."

"The court officials also don't trust the emperor. His various actions are really unacceptable to the officials."

"Neither side thinks they are wrong, and both sides think the other side is incomprehensible."

"They immediately stood together, and neither of them was willing to back down."

Li Longji leaned back slightly.

Can't believe it.

"Is that why?"

"Because of Wan Zhen'er?"

Li Mi smiled.

"Your Majesty should be very clear, right?"

"Isn't it the same for you?"

Li Longji stared at him.

I want to learn from Taizong! Learn from Taizong!
If Taizong can tolerate Wei Zheng, I can tolerate him too!

"Humph!"

……

Great Song.

It was difficult for Zhao Kuangyin to understand what the Zhu family were thinking.

He now feels as if Zhu Yunwen is the most normal person among the group...

Oh, and there’s also Renzong, who I don’t have much impression of.

It seems that none of the others are normal people!
This person completely disregards the laws of the country!
……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and covered his heart.

"What the hell are these things?"

"How come the Ming Dynasty has so many emperors?"

……

[As soon as this move was made, Liang Fang and others quickly promoted thousands of officials to occupy various key departments.]

【As for the civil servants who raised objections, he ordered his trusted censors to impeach and attack them. 】

[The civil servants also quickly realized the serious crisis.]

【The 1485st year of Chenghua ()】

[The Cabinet, the Nine Ministers, the Six Departments, and the Thirteen Provincial Supervisory Censors jointly submitted a memorial to criticize the malpractices of the official system.]

【Zhu Jianshen demoted Li Zisheng to Shanglin Supervisor and dismissed more than 500 civil officials, leaving only 67, but the more than 800 military officials remained unchanged. 】

【Li Zisheng hated these officials so much that he devoted himself to studying magic and regained their trust. He was appointed as the Left Minister of Public Administration again.】

[He then retaliated against the court officials, making full use of magic as a weapon. He used divination and fortune-telling to figure out which court officials had problems and reported them to the emperor.]

【Zhu Jianshen often transferred or demoted these officials according to his words. 】

[Later, the civil officials also realized the huge power of the alliance between Li Zisheng and Liang Fang, and some civil officials began to rely on this alliance, thus starting a pattern of collusion between the inside and the outside.]

[Some civil officials chose to join forces with corrupt officials in the harem and help them do things in the outer court.]

[Although the Chuanfengguan system was soon abolished, its impact on the civil service system was fundamental and the impact was difficult to make up for.]

……

Big man.

"Good boy!"

Liu Bang looked at it carefully for a long time.

He stood up suddenly and clapped his hands and cheered.

"What a great game!"

"What a great way to divide and win over!"

Lu Zhi looked at the emperor in the sky with disgust.

"How do you know he plays chess?"

"He's obviously a loser who does whatever he wants!"

Liu Bang stood with his hands on his hips and looked at Lu Zhi with a smile on his face.

"Haha! I got fooled again!"
