"By the way, two days ago, Cao Nai made an excerpt, saying that there seemed to be an abnormal movement in the Warat Department, and suggested that I transfer troops to increase the number of troops stationed in Xuanfu and Datong."
Zhu Qizhen said, and rummaged through the table next to him, "Eh, I obviously remember to put it here......
"Your Majesty, Cao Nai, a civil servant, where does he know anything about military affairs?"
Wang Zhen sneered, and there was some disdain in his tone, so Zhu Qizhen simply sat up straight and didn't look for it.
It turned out that this Cao Nai was the first assistant of the cabinet of the dynasty, known as Yang Shiqi's attention, as early as the orthodox five years into the cabinet, orthodox ten years of officials to the Ministry of Zuo Shilang, Yang Shiqi and others died, the cabinet affairs were handed over to him to deal with the planning, and he was also one of the few people in the court who could deal with Wang Zhen.
However, Wang Zhen himself hates these ministers very much, because Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and other ministers have made him suffer.
It turned out that after Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, set up the cabinet, the status of the cabinet ministers continued to rise, and until the Ming Xuanzong period, the cabinet ministers even faintly had the potential of prime ministers.
Later, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne as a young man, and Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu were all cabinet ministers among several ministers, and they were collectively called "Three Yangs", known as virtuous names, and Empress Dowager Zhang (the empress of Ming Renzong) also valued the "Three Yangs", so they handed over the major affairs of the court to them.
What made Wang Zhen even more uncomfortable was that the Empress Dowager Zhang hated him very much, not only did she scold and warn him when she was fine, but even wanted to kill him once.
If it weren't for the little emperor Zhu Qizhen to intercede for Wang Zhen, it is estimated that Wang Zhen would have been in a different place a long time ago, but he had no choice, because Zhu Qizhen had to call the Empress Dowager Zhang "Imperial Grandmother......
In this case, the status of the "Three Yangs" as cabinet ministers naturally gradually improved, so Wang Zhen had to be courteous and respectful to the "Three Yangs", and even went to the cabinet to send a letter to convey the emperor's will, pretending to be a good grandson and standing at the door and did not dare to go in.
Later, Wang Zhen finally survived the Empress Dowager Zhang, and then survived the "Three Yangs", so he dared to exert lust and do whatever he wanted, for example, he even took off the iron sign that Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang hung on the palace gate "prohibiting eunuchs from interfering in politics".
(Here the author is indiscriminately sentenced, if Zhu Yuanzhang has knowledge, according to his old man's temper, it is estimated that it is not enough to execute Wang Zhenling Chi a hundred times!)
） Of course, Wang Zhen dared to do this, naturally inseparable from the support of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, for example, in the sixth year of orthodoxy, the reconstruction of the three major halls of Fengtian, Huagai, and Jinshen was completed, and Zhu Qizhen held a banquet in the palace to celebrate, according to the palace system, eunuchs are not eligible to participate.
Wang Zhen complained to Zhu Qizhen's waiters, "Duke Zhou assisted him as king, why can't I sit at the banquet?"
” As a result, after Zhu Qizhen found out, instead of blaming Wang Zhenzi for comparing himself to Zhou Gong, he felt wronged for him, so he ordered the gate of Donghua Gate to be opened and let Wang Zhen swagger in.
Seeing this scene, the officials naturally understood the mind of Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong, so they congratulated Wang Zhen one after another, how could Wang Zhen not be arrogant in this situation?
What about the lack of momentum?
"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't need to listen to the noisy ...... of those scholars," Wang Zhen said, holding his fists high to the right, "When the emperor was there, he didn't have any fear of those scholars, otherwise he wouldn't have let the Hanlin scholars teach people like Lao Nu to read in the inner study hall!"
” Wang Zhen's words were vague, but Zhu Qizhen heard it clearly in his heart, in fact, what Wang Zhen was referring to was that in the first year of Xuande, Ming Xuanzong ordered the establishment of an "inner study hall" to teach eunuchs to read.
It turned out that with the emperor's many government affairs, there were more and more things that they did not have time to deal with in person, and the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was a model worker and had a strong desire for power.
So he insisted on doing it alone and never entrusted it to others.
Although Zhu Di, the later Ming Chengzu, was not as good as his father Zhu Yuanzhang, he was also quite hardworking, so he just set up a cabinet to help, which perfectly solved the problem of his lack of time to deal with government affairs.
But when he got to Zhu Zhanji of Ming Xuanzong, he was even lazier, so he ordered the eunuchs to be taught to read, and then asked them to help deal with their personal documents.
The drawbacks brought about by this practice are actually very big, and even to some extent caused the serious phenomenon of eunuch chaos in the Ming Dynasty.
Because during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, the celebrant and eunuch in charge of the emperor's documents were not allowed to contact the official offices of the outer court, just to prevent eunuchs from participating in political affairs.
Later, this system was loosened, but those eunuchs were limited to helping the emperor pack up documents, or run errands to deliver letters, and they did not cause any harm, after all, most of them did not even know a word.
But when it came to Ming Xuanzong, it was different, he not only taught the eunuchs to read and write, but also specially set up the eunuch Bingbi and the eunuch who held the seal of the eunuch to help them deal with government affairs.
In this way, those great eunuchs who were the celebrants became the spokesmen of the emperor to a certain extent, plus they were also literate and readable, as the saying goes, the sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, and the hooligans are afraid of culture......
Emperor Xuanzong was still a Ming monarch, so under his control, those eunuchs did not dare to make any trouble.
But after succeeding to the throne, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen is different, he is not only young, but also not wise at all.
Coupled with negligence in government affairs, the great eunuch Wang Zhen took the opportunity to seize power and used his power to get his hands on it, so that he became what he is today.
But Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji did this, is it really just to find a few people to help him share the pressure of government affairs?
Actually, no, at least Zhu Qizhen knows that this is not the case, because when he was young, his father once said something like this: "My father understood that if I taught those eunuchs to read, they might be in trouble, but my father had no choice, because since the establishment of the cabinet, the power of the civil servants has become more and more powerful, and the entire civil power has been linked together, and the father and the emperor cannot act completely according to their own will......"
"That's why my father wants to ask those eunuchs for help, so that they can contain the civil power, although their ability to handle government affairs is not as good as that of the civil officials, but they will always be your people, because they are just a minion!"
Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji is right, those eunuchs are just slaves after all, they will always be the emperor's people, no matter how great their power is, it will always be given by the emperor, so they will always help the emperor balance the power of the civil official group!
Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen understands this truth, not to mention that he likes Mr.
Wang Zhen, who has been playing with him since he was a child, and does not like those civil officials who only know how to find fault with themselves all day long, so he couldn't help but stand up, patted Wang Zhen on the shoulder and said, "I understand, this prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty was jointly created by Mr.
I and Mr." ” P.S.
This chapter has a lot of historical knowledge points, and it may seem a little boring, but considering the rest of the text, I have to explain it clearly, and I have tried my best to write it in an easy-to-understand manner, you ......
You should get the idea, right?
