Chapter 257: Being an Emperor Can't Dump the Pot (First Update, Ask for Subscription, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )


The imperial staff was cruel, and all the civil servants lost a layer of skin after one round.

Liu Dao was also the worst, having both of his legs broken.

He had suffered a secret loss and had nowhere to talk about it.

After all, it was the Jin Yiwei who executed the execution, the prisoner of the Dongchang factory, and the emperor who issued the decree.

Who can fight this kind of lawsuit and who dares to take it on?

I can only break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach.

After all, he asked for this.

After the execution, the imperial guards carried many door panels, dragged all the prisoners to the door panels, and then worked in groups of two to lift the door panels and walk out.

This is also a last resort, after all, it is impossible for the victim to move after the imperial rod is passed.

Of course, the most the Jin Yiwei could do was carry the sentenced prisoner outside the imperial city gate.

Under normal circumstances, family members and servants of the prisoner will come to pick people up.

Regardless of whether you use a carriage or a sedan, you can always get people back.

As for those who have no one to pick them up, Jin Yiwei will not take care of them anymore because their duties have been completed.

Marley wanted to report the news to the commander as soon as possible, and then the commander would report it to the emperor.

Zhu Cixiang nodded lightly after receiving the report from Zhao Xin, the commander of the Jinyiwei.

The effect of the imperial staff this time is still very significant.

At least in a short period of time, no one will make any outright remonstrances about Zhu Cixiang's recruitment and surrender of the rest of the army.

There is nothing wrong with speaking out and speaking out.

What is terrible is playing a hooligan.

But civil servants are very good at this.

The real way civil servants act like gangsters is because they don't recognize their relatives, and the higher the rank, the more capable they are of slaying gangsters, and the more advanced their methods are.

Fortunately, there were no such old gangsters among the civil servants crying at Zuo Shunmen this time, otherwise Zhu Cihong would have been really difficult to deal with.

The stability of the country is the most important at all times.

Zhu Cihong could go on a killing spree because of the corruption of the Donglin Party and the rebellion of the nobles, but he could not swing the Emperor's Sword because his ministers advised him to abandon the remaining troops of the Shun Army.

The reason is simple, because this time the civil servants are in control, at least according to the evaluation standards of this era.

The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the emperor should set an example.

Zhu Cixiang's reuse of the remnants of the Shun army was regarded as unfilial by the scholar-bureaucrats and was contrary to Confucian ideas.

Of course Zhu Cixiang had his reasons.

Originally, Nanming's current strength was weaker than that of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

If they forced internal strife at this time, I am afraid that they would be defeated by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties one by one as in the original history.

However, Zhu Cixiang could not tell the world about this reason, otherwise he might be called "the white-bearded grandfather who foresaw the future" in addition to the Holy Emperor.

Since you don't have any "reason", you can't make things too big.

It's acceptable as long as no one is killed.

Zhu Cixi's rule came from the feudal ethics, not from the divine right of kings, so even the emperor sometimes needed to compromise.

Improving the country is a slow process.

Zhu Cixiang certainly hopes that the country will get better and better, and he also understands the root of the problem.

But it was impossible for him to carry out drastic reforms without scruples, especially when the life and death of Ming Dynasty was at stake.

In wartime, everything must be compromised for the sake of the war, and everything must be based on national interests.

Only by defeating the Manchus could Zhu Cixi have the opportunity to reform, or in other words, reform would be meaningful.

Otherwise, the entire country would fall under the iron cavalry of the Manchus and usher in barbaric and brutal rule by aliens, and there would be no need to talk about innovation.

During this period, it doesn't matter even if Zhu Cihong himself suffered some grievances and took some blame.

In short, the matter of Wen Anzhi leading the remaining troops to reinforce Sichuan has been settled.

From the moment he appointed Wen Anzhi, Zhu Cixiang was determined to keep him.

It is Zhu Cixiang's behavior and leadership style not to pass the blame.

If the same thing happened to Chongzhen, I am afraid that the civil servants would not cry and remonstrate with the imperial staff, but would borrow Wen Anzhi's head.

Take a look at the famous officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

A large number of them did not get a good death, and the main reason was that Chongzhen took the blame.

Chongzhen can be said to be the first person to shirk responsibility.

Whenever something happens, he first shirks his own responsibility.

This is because the officials misunderstood me.

Of course, there are really trash like Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia among them, but there are also many loyal ministers.

Chongzhen tossed the blame again and again, destroying a good hand.

It is definitely inappropriate to say that he is not responsible.

Even if the Carpenter Emperor does not die, the situation will not deteriorate beyond control.

The most important thing about being a leader is to be able to employ people.

Just three words look simple, but are actually very difficult.

First of all, you must have the ability to recognize people and place the right people in the right positions.

Secondly, you have to have people willing to work hard for you.

The problem with the Chongzhen Dynasty was that there were too many people dawdling around.

This caused the entire state machine to function extremely abnormally.

If you want your subordinates to work hard for you, a leader must not only be charming, but also courageous, and most importantly, responsible.

The first two together do not take into account the importance of the word "responsibility".

Because this point is directly related to whether subordinates feel safe or not.

How can a leader who does not protect his subordinates and only knows how to blame others be supported?

What's more, this leader is still the emperor of the ninth grade, holding the power of life and death in his hands.

The ministers went to court all day long in fear, fearing that the emperor would throw them out of the vat because of something.

Under such circumstances, how can it be possible for the ministers to work hard and share the worries of the king?

Those who work hard may lose their heads, but those who dawdle around will live a comfortable and nourishing life.

Anyone with eyesight knows how to do it.

Therefore, the deformity of the officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty cannot be entirely attributed to the civil servants.

Chongzhen himself is also responsible.

So Zhu Cixiang is committed to changing this phenomenon.

First of all, he must let those who are truly loyal to him and willing to work down-to-earth see that the emperor is not a blame-shifter and can stand up to protect them at critical moments.

For example, Wen Anzhi, Lu Zhenfei, Yuan Jixian, and Du Yinxi were all people whom Zhu Cixiang wanted to protect with death.

Zhu Cixiang just wanted to tell them that if the sky fell, he, the emperor, would hold it up and it would not hit them on the head.

As long as Zhu Cihong sat in the emperor's position for a day, they would not be wronged.

This is what a good leader and a good emperor should do.

Of course, Zhu Cixiang would not have any mercy for those useless people who were just living their lives.

Those who deserve punishment are punished, those who deserve to be demoted are demoted, those who deserve to be killed are killed, and those who deserve are confiscated.

The right way is to make rewards and punishments clear.

As for the emperor's personal ethics, if he is criticized, he will be criticized.

Anyway, what Zhu Cixiang wants to do is to make the entire country develop in a good direction, even if it is blacklisted in the history books.

Isn’t it the same that Li Shimin has “defective personal ethics”?

How could Ming Taizu Zhu Di’s personal ethics be any better?

But does this prevent them from becoming emperors through the ages?

The most important thing as an emperor is to seek welfare for the people of the world :
