Because of the rewards such as military exploits and state affairs, the emperor wants to use the state's money, but for official reasons, all the rewards are given by the emperor with his own money, and the emperor uses his own money to reward has one of the biggest advantages, the advantage is that there is no need to file and do not mention the cabinet to discuss, and do not wait for approval with the faces of many people.You can give it to whomever you want, and the others have nothing to say.The system of the Dahua Empire is like this, the country's money is managed by the cabinet in a unified manner, and a large group of high-ranking and powerful national elders have the final say, even the emperor can't make decisions without authorization, if the emperor wants to reward anyone with the country's money, but the cabinet does not agree, this matter can not be done, the emperor can only send the cabinet's approval opinions back to the cabinet for reconsideration, if the cabinet has not agreed, then the emperor has no choice.Emperor Wanli is because he wants to set up his third son as the crown prince, but the cabinet does not agree, the cabinet will approve the opinions to the Wanli Emperor, the Wanli Emperor can only send the opinions back to the cabinet for reconsideration, but no matter how many times it is sent back, the cabinet ministers just disagree, and finally the Wanli Emperor is out of line, thinking "Lao Tzu a dignified emperor wants to set up his son as the prince, you don't follow my wishes, that's good, the emperor's thankless job, Lao Tzu is gone," the Ming Dynasty used the name Wanli for a total of 48 years, It is the longest era name used in the Ming Dynasty.Zhu Yijun also set a "glorious" record in the history of Chinese emperors: he did not go to court for 28 years.In fact, I like this cabinet system very much, and the current Dahua Empire also implements this kind of cabinet system, basically the Dahua Empire follows the government operation mechanism of the Ming Dynasty.There is nothing wrong with this mechanism, and I also want to learn from Wanli, and the world will be unified in the future.Like Wanli, I will never go to court again.So what kind of person was Emperor Wanli?
What are his shortcomings?
What do I need to avoid and correct?
Judging from the Three Great Expeditions of Wanli, Shenzong was by no means a mediocre emperor.Although I can say that he was very happy, let me not forget that in his letters to the King of Korea, he always emphasized the fact that Korea should strive to protect itself.It shows that he is still a politically minded and military far-sighted person.In fact, the Divine Sect seems to be fully aware of the importance of every military operation, and although it is not a good job, he can see the overall situation.And.In the course of the war, he fully trusted the front-line generals and resolutely replaced the generals who made mistakes in command, all of which showed the courage of Shenzong, and he still had courage.However, Wanli still did not pay enough attention to the issue of the Manchu Eight Banners and made the serious mistake of indulging the enemy.In 1619, the Ming army lost 100,000 elite male divisions in the battle of Salhu against Nurhachi's army, thus completely losing the advantage of the Ming army over the Later Jin army.The characteristics of Shenzong are "lazy in the court, brave in collecting wealth, not suburbs, temples and courts, 30 years, isolated from the outer court".Emperor Wanli has been fighting with the cabinet ministers, he wants to make his third son the emperor, but the cabinet wants to say: "The elder is not the young, this is the ancestral system," Wanli saw that his favorite third son could not be the prince.Then give him a little more money, but Wanli has no money, and he has no right to use the state's money to give his third son.Therefore, Wanli sent eunuchs to the society to loot the people's wealth, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, good wine became a common practice in the society, and the court did not drink alcohol, and the people had to make their own.In the late Ming Dynasty, there was no monopoly system for wine, so people could make their own wine, and group drinking was not prohibited.Drinking is all the rage.If you drink less, you can drink a few liters, and if you drink more, you can drink an unlimited amount.Day and night, both in the government and the opposition.Shenzong Wanli is even better wine.But this is just a manifestation of this drinking style, when Shenzong was 17 years old, he once scolded Feng Bao's righteous son for drunkenness, and was almost deposed by the Empress Dowager Cisheng.He did admit it.Wanli is also very lascivious, and although Shenzong seems to be inferior to his grandfather, he is not inferior to his father at all.In March 1582, the tenth year of Wanli, he followed the example of his grandfather Sejong and elected concubines among the people, and married "nine concubines" in one day.Moreover, Shenzong even played homosexuality, that is, while playing with women, he also played with little eunuchs.At that time, there were 10 eunuchs in the palace who looked very handsome and unearthed from the Dingling Tomb to embroider a hundred children's jackets, which were specially "given to the emperor, or Chengen and the upper lying up", known as "ten handsome".From this point of view, the Divine Sect is a little similar to the original absurd Martial Sect.Wanli is also very greedy for money, Wanli has too many private things to do, so he needs money, after he was in power, he confiscated Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng's family property, and let the eunuch Zhang Cheng move all into the palace and put it at his disposal.In order to plunder the money, he sent mine supervisors and tax supervisors to search everywhere.Wanli still does not make mistakes in dealing with national affairs, and he still deals with the major affairs of the frontier in the three major expeditions in the form of an edict, although it is not the form of "summoning" that the ministers want, but it is not regarded as a child's play.After the end of the three major expeditions, the Divine Sect began to become less and less interested in the approval of the ministers' recitals.Therefore, there are really two stages before and after the absurdity of the Divine Sect: the first stage is that he is unwilling to go to the court to listen to the government; In the latter stage, even the ministers' concerts were not approved, and they were directly "left in China" and not issued.However, according to the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was the sole decision-maker of the government.If the emperor is unwilling to dispose of it but does not easily delegate authority to eunuchs or ministers, the entire government may come to a standstill.By the beginning of the 17th century, due to the ignorance of the government by the Emperor Shenzong, the phenomenon of official vacancies was very serious.In 1602, the thirtieth year of Wanli, there were 3 scholars and 10 squires in the south and north capitals; There are 3 governors in various localities, 66 political envoys, envoys and other officials, and 25 prefects.According to the normal establishment, there should be 12 Shangshu and 24 squires in the six departments of the south and north capitals, and a total of nearly one-third was missing at this time.By November 1613, the forty-first year of Wanli, there was a shortage of 14 scholars and waiters in the north and south capitals.In the case of local administration, the magistrate of one county must concurrently serve as the magistrate of a neighboring county.From this situation, we can imagine the efficiency of government operations in the late Wanli period.The Divine Sect Committee is at the top, the hundreds of officials and parties are fighting at the bottom, and there are many parties in the ranks of the bureaucracy, and the battle for the gateway is flourishing day by day, and they are fighting each other.Donglin Party, Xuan Party, Kun Party, Qi Party, Zhejiang Party, there are many names.The entire government is in a state of semi-paralysis.As Liang Qichao said, the party struggle at the end of the Ming Dynasty was like two groups of Mr.
Dong Yan fighting, and when the Ming Dynasty died, they were pulled down together.So I'll authorize the regent Wang Jian now, "When the emperor is not there, when he doesn't have time, or when he doesn't want to take care of the government, the regent Wang Jian has full authority to handle the government on behalf of the emperor," haha, I have already thought about my retreat now, once the world is liberated, then I will take my four wives and four little wives to travel together, and all those annoying government affairs will be handed over to Wang Qian, hahaha to be continued
