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

Chapter 570: Ming Dynasty Civil Officials: As long as the eunuchs support it, I will oppose it!

Ming dynasty.

"Calm down! Calm down!"

Empress Ma held Old Zhu's arm as he ran out with his eyes wide open.

You can't let go of this!
If I let go, it will be over!

"Girl, let me go!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid of hurting Empress Ma, so he could only jump up and shout:

"We must skin them alive!"

"One by one! Take them all!"

"Damn it! What do they think of our Ming Dynasty? What do they think of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?"

"How dare they manipulate national politics for profit!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gnashed his teeth in hatred!
"If we don't kill them, do you think we are fools?"

Queen Ma was extremely anxious.

"Zhongba, you can't look at things that way!"

"All these things that happened later have a traceable cause! If the previous shortcomings had been corrected, things would not have developed to this extent!"

"If you take action now, things will run unstoppably in this direction!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the sky.

"Fourth!"

He's going to be so angry!
He is going to get mad!
He looked back...

That little bastard is long gone!
"Bastards! A bunch of bastards!"

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di only felt his temple throbbing.

"This is a fool, a blind man!"

At this point, the issue is no longer one of taking bribes or not.

They have formed a community of interests!

Hui merchants exerted influence on Ye Qi through various channels and eventually changed the national decision!

This decision is in the interest of the group but not the national interest!

But Zhu Youtang, who represents the interests of the country, was completely unaware of this? !

"Zhongxing? I'll hit your head!"

"Take a good look at yourself! Who are you looking for?"

……

[Ye Qi's color reduction method greatly weakened the geographical location advantage of Shanxi merchants in the salt administration, and placed more emphasis on the financial strength of the merchant group. ]

[The Huizhou merchants, who were already very powerful, would inevitably compete fiercely with the Shanxi merchants for control of the Yangzhou Lianghuai Salt Transport Bureau.]

[On this basis, the two launched a fierce competition across the country. ]

[The production resources of the Ming Dynasty began to enter a state of extremely rapid internal siphoning. ]

【As we all know, the way to resolve internal conflicts is to divert them. 】

[Although Zhu Youtang did not understand, he did notice that people's livelihood was in decline, so he asked Liu Daxia for advice on government.]

……

On the canopy.

The emperor waited for the minister's answer.

Where did all the Ming Dynasty’s money go?

Liu Daxia bowed and said:

"In the time of our ancestors, every penny contributed by the people was used by the government."

"Today, the amount of money taken from the people is several times more than in the past, but only two or three tenths of it actually goes into the pockets of the government."

Zhu Youtang pressed on:
"What about the remaining seven or eight tenths?"

Liu Daxia pondered for a moment and continued:
"Your Majesty, when I was an official in Guangdong and Guangxi, I found that the salaries of officials were insignificant compared to the daily expenses of the eunuchs guarding the garrison."

"It can be seen that a lot of money has been embezzled by the eunuchs guarding the garrison. If the eunuchs guarding the garrison were dismissed, the money of the people would go into the pockets of the government."

Zhu Youtang's face was filled with sudden enlightenment.

"I see...Right! Some people have said before that the eunuchs guarding the city should be abolished."

"But this was set up by our ancestors after all. If we suddenly abolish it, there will be problems..."

Zhu Youtang thought for a while and made the final decision!
"How about this, from now on, we will set a standard for hiring eunuchs to guard the city! Those who fail to meet this standard will no longer be hired."

“That solves the problem!”

Liu Daxia lowered his head slightly.

"Your Majesty is wise."

……

【Liu Daxia's answer was: It was all because of the corruption of the eunuchs guarding the local garrison.】

……

Ming Dynasty·Chenghua Period
"Zhen'er, my head hurts so much!"

Zhu Jianshen wears a "mask of pain"

He intended to point the finger at the eunuchs, subtly replacing the issue of national economy and people's livelihood with an issue of party struggle.

“Can’t you see that?”

Of course the eunuchs in charge of the garrison would be corrupt, but so would the local officials!
The garrison eunuchs had limited power, and their main function was to understand the situation and report to the emperor.

They cannot directly control military and political power such as justice, administration, taxation, and public security, nor can they interfere in the appointment and removal of local officials, and they have no right to participate in the performance evaluation of officials.

When faced with officials who refused to obey their orders, the eunuchs in charge had no other options except to speak ill of them in front of the emperor.

They just act as a nail!
An eye to watch over the place!

This time, he dug out his eyes!
……

[The degree of corruption of a group is directly proportional to the amount of power they hold.] [That is why there is a difference between "fat jobs" and "poor offices" in different positions.]

[The eunuchs in charge of the garrison were supervisory officials. They had channels for corruption, and they were not small, but they were unlikely to embezzle more than local officials who held judicial and financial power.]

[Moreover, the total number of eunuchs guarding the city is only a few dozen. ]

【Zhu Youtang consulted on the reasons for the country's poverty and the people's hardship. This is a big issue that involves many aspects. 】

[The destruction of the military settlement system, the abandonment of the Kaizhong Law, large-scale land annexation, unequal taxation, and corrupt government all had a greater impact on the country than the corruption of the eunuchs in charge of the garrisons.]

[Liu Daxia only looked for the cause in the corruption of dozens of eunuchs who were guarding the city. He was not really helping the emperor solve the problem, but wanted to take the opportunity to strike at the eunuch group.]

……

{Normal, this isn't the first time he's done this.}
{Wang Zhi once suggested to Zhu Jianshen that they resume trade with the West, following the example of Zheng He's voyages to the West.}
{Zhu Jianshen expressed his support, but at this time it had been more than 40 years since Zheng He's last voyage to the West, and most of the people involved in this matter were no longer alive.}
{The data on Zheng He's voyages to the West had always been kept by the Ministry of War, so Zhu Jianshen asked the Minister of War Xiang Zhong to review the data.}
{The Military Archives was under the management of the Zhifang Division, and the person in charge of the Zhifang Division at that time was Liu Daxia.}
{The archives searched for a long time but they said the information was no longer available.}
{Xiang Zhong said how could it not be found? It must be that the archives did not look for it seriously, and the person in charge should be punished.}
{Liu Daxia said that Zheng He's voyages to the West cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in money and grain, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians died. This was a major bad policy. The old archives should not be found, and even if they can be found, they should be burned.}
{Xiang Zhong had no choice but to accept Liu Daxia's opinion and replied to the emperor that the file could not be found, thus letting the matter slip.}
……

Ming Dynasty·Chenghua Period
Zhu Jianshen was covering his forehead.

I was stunned when I heard that.

"What a deceitful person!"

His headache suddenly stopped!
"What does he want to do?!"

……

{This happened in the 13th year of Chenghua. Then in the 17th year of Chenghua, Annan invaded Laos and crossed Laos to invade Babai. Later, they were defeated by Babai and suffered heavy losses.}
{After Wang Zhi learned about this, he wrote a letter suggesting that they attack Annan and take the opportunity to recover the territory from Zhu Di's time.}
{Zhu Jianshen once again asked the Ministry of War to provide information about the attack on Annan during Zhu Di's time.}
{Liu Daxia repeated his old trick, saying that he could not find the information, and once again advised the Minister of War Yu Zijun that if he started a war without authorization, the situation in the southwest region would definitely be in chaos.}
{Yu Zijun was finally persuaded by Liu Daxia and rejected the idea of ​​going to Annan.}
{As for Liu Daxia's views on sailing to the West and recovering Annan, did he really think that it would be a waste of money and manpower, or did he think that these two things were proposed by the eunuchs. If success would strengthen the power of the eunuch group, then it depends on one's opinion.}
……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
Li Yuan felt that he was quite shameless.

I didn’t expect to see someone more shameless!
"This attitude of disregarding national policy..."

"How outrageous..."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes.

He even had the intention to kill.

Regardless of the country, just oppose for the sake of opposing.

Even more hateful than those ministers of the Song Dynasty!

……

Song Shenzong Period
Zhao Xu sighed with regret:

"Party strife...Party strife..."

"Because of this incident, the proposal to reopen Western trade and recover Annan was shelved."

"Can this be considered a decent person?"

……

Ming Dynasty and Xuande period
"boom!"

Zhu Zhanji slammed the table and stood up with an expressionless face.

Target, the Zhifang Division!

……

Ming Dynasty·Chenghua Period
Zhu Jianshen slowly stood up, holding on to the desk.

"well……"

A few words came out from between his teeth.

"I'll go find it myself!"

……

【But Zhu Youtang couldn't figure it out, and he didn't know whether he didn't learn math well or he was stupid from studying too much.】

[When he heard Liu Daxia say this, he immediately felt as if he was protecting the eunuch and felt guilty.]

[He didn't even ask any follow-up questions, he just went straight to self-reflection! ]

……

Ming dynasty.

"Let's go to hell with you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang threw the chair out directly!

Then he pointed at the sky and cursed!

……

Big man.

"This person..."

Liu Bang didn't know how to evaluate this emperor.

Lu Zhi was too lazy to even look at it.

Just lean to the right and retract your legs.

He leaned against the soft pillow and closed his eyes to rest.

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
"Zhu Jianshen has no other son to take it?"

Liu Che frowned.

When he looked at Zhu Youtang, he thought of Emperor Yuan of Han.

"The one who caused chaos in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youtang?"

……

Ming Dynasty and Zhengde Period
"Tell me, can I not work hard?"

Zhu Houzhao patted his thigh and said to Queen Xia:
"If I don't work hard, the Ming Dynasty will become an empty shell!"

"He believes everything people say!"

"We don't know why he believes it!"

“But he believed it!”

Zhu Houzhao once again thought of the day he ascended the throne.

What a mess this is!
