Yang Lian's words were actually slightly ironic, but Zhu Youxiao didn't care.
He emphasized his tone and said: "The reason why I want to change Donglin is because I feel that Donglin has developed to this point and has become a force that cannot be ignored by the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, I can suppress them with the emperor's order and make them permanent.
I can’t stand up, but I feel it’s a pity.”
In Zhu Youxiao's opinion, the emergence of political parties is a very normal phenomenon.
The Niu Party and Li Party in the Tang Dynasty already had the beginning of a political party.
Although it was very different from modern parties, it finally took shape.
Not to mention the fierce party struggles in the Song Dynasty, which involved the country's talented people at that time, such as Wang Anshi and Su Shi.
It turns out that the formation of the Donglin Party in history was not a good thing for Ming Dynasty.
Because the time of his appearance happened to be when the Ming Dynasty was in internal and external troubles, the Donglin Party wanted to change the situation where the emperor was dominant and sought its own voice.
This will inevitably intensify the internal strife of the entire court.
The Donglin Party fought with the emperor and ministers of other factions, and the court was unable to form an effective joint force.
Whether it is the deployment of external troops or the internal tax reform, there is the shadow of the Donglin Party's constraints.
Therefore, although the saying that the Ming Dynasty died in Donglin is not completely correct, it actually makes some sense.
In a state of emergency, dictatorship is obviously the most suitable way of governing a country.
Therefore, after Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he set aside the civil servant group in many aspects and did what he felt was right according to his own wishes.
This has reduced the restrictions imposed on him by the civil service group to the lowest point since Wanli, and the situation in recent years has also proved that his idea is correct.
But as a young man from the new era of the 21st century, Zhu Youxiao naturally understands that democracy is the general trend.
This can be seen from the fact that the second sentence of our party's twenty-four-character mantra is the word "democracy".
As for how to slowly lay the foundation for democracy, Zhu Youxiao did not have any good methods, because there was no way to gain access to relevant knowledge in later schools.
But he at least knows that the formation of parties is very important in the democratic structure.
Now the Donglin Party actually has some basic characteristics of a party.
If it is properly utilized, it may not be impossible to form a real political party in the Ming Dynasty that is close to that of later generations.
Ye Xianggao said happily: "Your Majesty, the Donglin people may have this or that problem, but our original starting point was to build a more powerful and fair Ming Dynasty.
If your Majesty is willing to give you some guidance, Donglin will definitely become your Majesty's The greatest help in ruling the Ming Dynasty.”
Zhu Youxiao thought to himself that he did not want to rule the Ming Dynasty, but wanted the people of the Ming Dynasty to rule themselves.
Of course, saying this would scare Ye Xianggao.
Although the civil servants tried their best to get rid of the emperor's all-pervasive pressure and wanted to express their voices on the government, they still did not think of letting the Ming people rule themselves.
At most, they only thought that the civil servant group should have more power to deal with it.
The policy guidance of this country, which is the so-called elite politics, cannot escape the shackles of the Song Dynasty where the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats jointly ruled the world.
Zhu Youxiao said: "Guidance is impossible to guide.
Let me give you my opinion.
In fact, the so-called Donglin Party is not gathered together because everyone has a theory or a goal, but because they want to fight against other schools of thought. , so I come to join forces and ask for help.
I hope you will become an organization with theories, political views, and a policy agenda."
Ye Xianggao was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, how can we Donglin people govern?
We wholeheartedly support Your Majesty, and it is okay to collect things for His Majesty.
The other things are not what ministers should do."
Zhu Youxiao said angrily: "If a Donglin person is appointed as the chief assistant by me, what will he do?
This is the policy agenda.
What is there to make a fuss about?"
Ye Xianggao still said: "Your Majesty, the word "administration" is inappropriate.
Even the chief assistant, judging from his name, is just assisting the king. " Zhu Youxiao sneered: "Zhang Juzheng is just the chief assistant."
Ye Xianggao said anxiously: "Zhang Taiyue is knowledgeable about changing times and has the courage to do his job.
However, his power and control are more than enough to shake the master and cause disaster behind him.
Because of this, Zhang Taiyue cannot be an example."

Zhu Youxiao knew that he had no chance of winning if he told them this, so he had no choice but to say: "I am planning to expand the power of the chief assistant in the future.
Will Master Ye object?"
Poor Ye Xianggao was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
If the emperor really wanted to expand the power of the chief minister and said he would oppose it, it would be wiping out more than two hundred years of hard work by the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.
And if the emperor is just testing it out and says that he has no objection, will the emperor think that he is fighting for power for civil servants?
Zhu Youxiao looked at the silent Ye Xianggao and basically understood what he was thinking.
His expression became serious and he said: "Suspicion is the source of chaos in the world.
The king and his ministers are not suspicious, but suspicion is chaos."
Ye Xianggao quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I am not jealous, but thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.
Taizu abolished the prime minister because the prime minister has too much power.
If your majesty expands the power of the chief assistant, the chief assistant and the prime minister will How different" Zhu Youxiao knew that what he was thinking was definitely more than this, but he didn't tell the truth and said with a smile: "Master Ye is loyal, I know it very well.
What I just said about expanding the power of the chief assistant is not a test.
I am But before that, there are still many things to lay the foundation for, one of which is what was just mentioned: Donglin Party members must have their own goals and policy agenda. " "Master Ye is the old Donglin.
I want to send a message to the people in Donglin.
I want people who can do practical things.
If I give them some power, I don't want to see them arguing about who is a villain and who is causing harm to the country and the people.
Daming Ming Dynasty There is a law, there is a judge to judge a person, don’t bother the wise men of Donglin.”
"But how to make people produce more food, how to improve people's lives, and how to make more children literate and read, this is what they have to worry about.
If they can not only be flexible with their words, but also do some practical things, Just like Yang Shangshu, let the tillers have their land, and let Zuo Shilang make the river benefit the people.
I don't mind giving them power and giving them a chance to build the Ming Dynasty to prove that the Donglin people are worthy of the people.
Bravo."
Ye Xianggao saluted and said, "I will bring your Majesty's words to you.
I will let them understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts.
Donglin will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "I don't just give opportunities to the people of Donglin, I will give opportunities to all officials in the world.
The chief assistant will give the same words to other officials.
I have heard a saying, which is not very pleasant, but it is true: yes A mule is a horse, taken out for a walk
