Zhu Houzhao's mood, Ye Chunqiu understands it very well, he has read all the official documents these days, and Ye Chunqiu only knows the shortcomings of this dynasty.
To a certain extent, the current Ming Dynasty seems to be riddled with all kinds of diseases, and in the end, it is not because of any omissions in the system, but because the system is too perfect.
How to say it, this is the pinnacle of the system in feudal society, from supervision to the sharing of responsibilities, to the details of all aspects, the cabinet is in charge of the six departments, the celebrant is responsible for wearing red, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for supervision, and the six departments are audited in the matter, all of which are balanced with the Son of Heaven, outside of this system, there are also East Factory and West Factory Jinyi Wei to deter hundreds of officials, all of which are inseparable and intricate, like vines, everyone is entangled with each other; Just like in the local area, there is the separation of powers, and then there is the patrol of the Metropolitan Procuratorate as a supervision, and in addition, the local system is the co-governance of the government and the gentry, which seems to be very perfect, but the real problem is that in this system, no matter if anyone wants to do something, then other forces will pull him and make him unable to move.
Herein lies the problem Zhu Houzhao wants to be a Ming monarch Obviously, he wants to reform, but if he wants to reform, take the guard system as an example, if he wants to change, it is too difficult, even if he is the Son of Heaven, the king of kings, but once he wants to abolish the guard system, then the cabinet will rebound, and then the local hereditary officials will desperately pull him back, and then the Metropolitan Procuratorate will criticize, and then the military department will even directly refute your holy decree in the matter, and even the nobles will come forward to say the item, this is actually the biggest problem with this perfect system, they are conservative and unwilling to change, Anyone who wants to change will touch on a complex set of interests, and then every power that can counterbalance you will become an obstacle to you.
Zhu Houzhao is like this, Liu Jian is the same, the first assistant scholar, is almost equivalent to the prime minister, but if you want to innovate, there will still be someone who will pull your legs, so that you have no way to start, even if you want to forcibly push it, with the support of the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother, and even other ministers, the power to contain you will still be there.
Historically, Wang Anshi's reform in the Northern Song Dynasty was particularly intense, and it directly evolved into a party struggle, and everyone was inevitably affected.
As for the so-called Zhang Juzheng reform, it seems to be a success, but in fact, although Zhang Juzheng has reformed, he still has not touched the essence of reform, but has only tinkered with it in terms of not touching the fundamental interests of others.
Ye Chunqiu glanced at Zhu Houzhao deeply, but he still chose to remain silent, this kind of thing, it is better to be cautious.
Zhu Houzhao seemed to notice something, and couldn't help but say: "Ye Aiqing has something to say."
Ye Chunqiu glanced left and right.
Zhu Houzhao understood, and said with a straight face: "Everyone else has withdrawn." ” So the eunuch and the palace lady cautiously withdrew from the warm pavilion.
Ye Chunqiu said: "Your Majesty, in all dynasties, how many sons of heaven have just ascended the throne, they are often high-spirited, why is it that they are depressed in the end?"
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "The first emperor is very good. ” Ye Chunqiu smiled: "Although the first emperor has many good governance and is diligent in national politics, and the world is governed because of this, why does Your Majesty want to change?"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Ye Chunqiu said: "This is because the first emperor is like a diligent and thrifty head of the family, although the family's savings have increased, but he is unable to open source, so he has to focus all his energy on throttling, so although he has not eliminated any major malpractices, but the world is still stable, but some fundamental problems still cannot be solved, otherwise, why does Your Majesty think about the capture of the Japanese every day is precisely because the northern and southern Japanese are still harmful, it will be so."
This is also the reason why His Majesty wants to train the army, and it is also because His Majesty knows that the officers and soldiers of the guard are not able to fight, can the problems that His Majesty see, the first emperor can't see it, of course the first emperor can see it, but he knows that if he wants to change, there are many difficulties, so he would rather only make repairs than get rid of these malpractices, because the first emperor knew that once he wanted to get rid of it, it might harm the country.
This is like a person who obviously has a festering body, but if he cuts off the carrion with a knife, he may bleed to death, so he has to choose to strengthen his body and keep this piece of carrion, hoping to strengthen his body so that this piece of carrion will not rot. ” Zhu Houzhao heard it, and subconsciously said: "What do you mean, let my father be like that."
Ye Chunqiu smiled faintly and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is just Hanlin, and he is only responsible for explaining the situation to His Majesty, as for the decision, it is the matter of His Majesty and the cabinet ministers." ” This sentence is quite owed, just said the beginning, and then there was no then.
As he was talking, there was a humane outside: "The slave Zhang Yong has seen Your Majesty." ” Ye Chunqiu immediately scrupulously abided by his duty to wait for the edict, and stood aside respectfully, Zhu Houzhao shook up his spirit and said, "Come in." ” Zhang Yong came in and bowed his head: "Slave maid" Zhu Houzhao interrupted him and said: "Have you heard about the attack on Datong, you are the palm print eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, can the four guards and the warrior battalion be worthy of a battle?"
The upper four guards belong to the pro-army system, but they are under the control of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and as for the warrior battalion, it is the military horse that the Imperial Horse Supervisor has trained himself.
Zhang Yong hesitated for a moment, showing a little embarrassment, before he said: "The warrior battalion is the best of the three armies, but it can be used, but there are few people, and the money and food are also insufficient."
Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "If the money and food are insufficient, then ask for Liu Banban, won't the salt tax and mining tax of the eunuchs in this place be escorted into Beijing soon?"
Zhang Yong couldn't help but be happy, this is a good thing, of course, this imperial horse supervisor wishes that the more power and responsibility he has, the more soldiers in his hands, the better.
Just went to ask Liu Jin for money and food Thinking of this, Zhang Yong's face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "Your Majesty, Liu Jin is afraid that he may not be willing to give, he is stingy, and when the time comes, he will definitely say that the internal funds are not enough, so he will be perfunctory." ” Zhu Houzhao was angry: "That's called Liu Jin." ” The Son of Heaven was angry, so Liu Jin, who was helping Zhu Pi in the celebrant eunuch, heard that the little eunuch was coming to summon him, and he crawled to the ground: "What does Your Majesty command?"
” Ye Chunqiu stood aside, looking at Liu Jin who was bent in front of Zhu Houzhao, and couldn't help but sigh, it was really not easy to see Liu Jin's side. aa2705221:
