Chapter 24: Eunuchs, loyal royalists! The emperor’s sharp blade!

 "Sir, there has been a rift between the parties now."

"Everything is centered around converting rice into mulberry."

"Taking this opportunity, Your Majesty can actually cultivate a force of his own. Of course, this will be beneficial to Your Majesty, and of course it will be beneficial to us."

"It's just more beneficial to Your Majesty, so my subordinates are also wondering whether I should mention it or not."

Xu Shouyun is really a little confused.

When the emperor introduces one thing and causes endless disputes among officials, he should come up with something else to enhance the imperial power.

This is called perfect pulling. Throw a thing out and let you fight among yourself, and then I will handle my own affairs.

I'll make a profit if I go back and forth.

It's just that this matter is indeed beneficial to the emperor. He is an undercover agent of the Chu Dynasty. If it weren't for the coordinator who wants to climb up, and he also wants to climb up and gain real power, Xu Shouyun may not really mention it.<

/p>

When Jiang Ling heard that it would be of great benefit to her, she felt excited. Now she could see clearly that Xu Shouyun's tactics were unparalleled in the world.

The opinions put forward by such talents are definitely the best policy.

In particular, it is very important to cultivate a force of your own. I invited my mentor some time ago and he also mentioned this matter.

A force of his own, but unfortunately, after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a reason why, but I didn't expect that Xu Shouyun would actually mention this.

How could this not make her excited?

It's just that she has to stay calm on the outside and not appear too happy.

"You talk about it first, and I'll decide the rest."

Jiang Ling remained calm and let the other party talk.

"Sir, now all the officials will definitely fight to the death over the matter of changing rice to mulberry."

"At this time, if Your Majesty establishes his own party power, it will be considered as laying an important chess piece."

"When the critical moment comes, this chess piece will allow Your Majesty to take control of the overall situation. It will be a double-edged sword for you and your subordinates."

Xu Shouyun opened his mouth and let the other party make the decision.

"Important chess piece? Cultivate your own party power? Do you mean cultivating scholars from poor families?"

Jiang Ling asked curiously.

But when he heard about the poor family members, Xu Shouyun quickly shook his head: "The poor family members are all white-eyed wolves. If you support such people to rise to power, they will be assimilated sooner or later."

"It's about supporting your own people to rise to power."

Xu Shouyun looked down on him. He was a poor scholar with no power. He seemed to be the best candidate for the emperor, but in reality?

There are countless aristocratic families in the Wei Dynasty, and they have long been eyeing these poor scholars. As long as you are admitted as a scholar, they will start giving you money and food, and then introduce famous teachers to you.

After you win the exam, you will start to repay the favor.

What? You want to follow the emperor? You don’t want to repay the favor?

Okay, Confucianism, the king of heaven and earth, my teacher, I am your teacher, but you are so ungrateful? Don’t make any mistakes if you have the ability.

If you make a mistake, I can’t punish you to death.

To put it bluntly, there is always something that can restrain you under wealth, power and morality. Unless you are really a saint, then there is nothing you can do. The chief minister is a bodhisattva with a heart that does not show blood, so drag him out and kill him.

"So what are you talking about?"

This time Jiang Ling was curious.

"What is far away is yet so close."

"My lord."

Xu Shouyun looked at Jiang Ling seriously, who suddenly seemed speechless.

Wang Po is selling melons and boasting about herself?

"Although you have certain talents, you have just entered the palace, so it is impossible to put too much emphasis on you."

Jiang Ling gave an answer. She recognized Xu Shouyun's talent, but she didn't want Xu Shouyun to climb up so quickly. At least she had to give her some advice for a while.

This also prevents Xu Shouyun from being targeted.

"Sir, you have misunderstood. No matter how much I want to get a higher position, I will never be so stupid. I mean, eunuch."

"Aren't these eunuchs in the palace just sharp knives?"

Xu Shouyun quickly explained.

To be honest, even if he was allowed to take charge of power now, Xu Shouyun would not do such a thing because he has no power.

He might have been killed by someone else, he's not that stupid.

"Eunuch?"

At this moment, Jiang Ling was silent. She thought about many candidates, but she really never considered eunuchs. These eunuchs are similar to the domestic slaves of a wealthy family.

What are they for?

"Sir, these eunuchs can be said to be the swords of the emperor."

"When I say what time, you listen and see. If you feel bad, just interrupt."

Xu Shouyun organized his thoughts and then explained.

"First, eunuchs are not complete people. They have no offspring, and they are in the palace all the year round. Although some of them have parents, their feelings have faded. In addition, most of them were sold into the palace, and they also have some resentment in their hearts.

."

"So they don't have any relatives, and they won't be bound by some moral constraints."

"Secondly, these eunuchs are the emperor's domestic slaves, the emperor's domestic slaves. Their status depends entirely on the emperor."

"In other words, if the empress of the Wei Dynasty deposes a minister, not even a minister, but a minister, he may be opposed by the ministers, because they are a collective."

"But eunuchs are different. If a eunuch is dismissed, even if he is the chief steward of the palace, who will care? Even other eunuchs will applaud him and take advantage of this to take advantage of him."

"So if these eunuchs gain power, they must know who their power comes from, so they will be loyal to the emperor."

"Third, eunuchs practice martial arts. There are 8,000 eunuchs in the Wei court. Isn't this equivalent to 8,000 elite imperial troops?"

"Let this force be used to supervise and examine some corrupt officials, or to inquire about intelligence, which is ten thousand times better than eight thousand generals."

"Fourth, when this force is formed, people will naturally try to curry favor with this group of eunuchs, and it will grow bigger and bigger like a snowball. By then, this force will be unstoppable."

"The eunuch's power comes from the emperor, so whether he is pretending to be loyal or sincerely loyal."

"The emperor doesn't care at all, as long as it can be used, commanding a group of eunuchs is equivalent to commanding the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty."

"This is a different kind of centralization."

Xu Shouyun spoke up and praised the eunuch extremely well.

In fact, this is indeed true.

Why did the Ming Dynasty reuse eunuchs? Although the Qing Dynasty strictly prohibited eunuchs from participating in politics, they still used eunuchs. Why?

Because it is true that eunuchs have mental disorders due to physical defects and are extremely vindictive. They are not close to anyone and are all profit-seeking people.

But because they have no offspring, there is no such thing as rebellion. As long as they are given power, they will be loyal dogs.

Know who is the master and know who to help.

As for the negative problems caused by eunuchs, to put it bluntly, is it better than powerful ministers doing politics?

Let’s talk about the more unpleasant things. Looking at ancient and modern times, no matter how awesome the eunuch is, Wei Zhongxian is said to be nine thousand years old. Once Chongzhen ascends the throne, isn’t life and death a matter of just a word?

But what Xu Shouyun is worried about is that although the eunuchs are annoying, they know how to protect the country and are loyal royalists.

It is ten thousand times better than those ministers. After all, ministers have to consider future generations, and eunuchs only need to live their own lives well.

Therefore, will the opinions I put forward become an obstacle to myself in the future?

This is what Xu Shouyun is worried about.

But it doesn’t matter, I’m talking to my contact person, and everyone is a traitor, so I don’t have to worry about saying anything wrong.

Perhaps what Xu Shouyun didn’t know was.

At this moment, Jiang Ling's heart was completely boiling.

Xu Shouyun’s words.
