Beijing Cha...

This is a system for the Ministry of Personnel to assess Beijing officials in the Ming Dynasty. During the Hongwu period, it was stipulated that the examination was held every three years, and then it was changed to every ten years. During the Hongzhi period, it was stipulated that it was held every six years.

The purpose of the Beijing inspection and the grand scheme system is to reward the advantages and punish the disadvantages, so that officials at all levels can perform their duties and contribute to the rule of the court.

However, it is precisely because of the rewards and punishments of officials that the phenomenon of party formation such as favoritism and fraud is very obvious, and it is difficult to truly achieve its due role in the later stages of development.

Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, due to the rise of the Zhejiang Party, Qi Party, Chu Party and other village parties after Zhang Juzheng died of illness, the party struggles between them broke out, resulting in the decline of the Ming Dynasty's national strength.

Faced with the manipulation of government affairs among parties, political darkness, military decline, financial constraints, and the heavy taxation of harsh taxes, the Donglin Party came into being.

Moreover, because the Donglin Party was not limited to the local characteristics of the township party, the Donglin Party developed rapidly and had a large number of people, and soon occupied a place in the court.

The Donglin Party members believed that the party struggle caused the weakening of the imperial court's national strength, so the simplest idea was to end the party struggle.

They strongly demanded to change the situation of eunuchs' autocracy and chaos in politics, and advocated that "political affairs belong to the six ministries and public opinions should be handed over to the officials" so that the world can "live and hope for governance."

As for the royal family, they tried their best to oppose the emperor's dispatch of mining prisons, and taxes sent to various places to carry out crazy plunder and impose intensive taxes.

Regarding civil affairs, we also advocate attaching importance to agriculture and industry and commerce, requiring benefiting businesses and the people, reducing taxes, reclaiming wasteland and farming, and building water conservancy; and opposing the common frauds in the imperial examinations.

It sounds good, but in fact, since the Donglin Party members come from all over the world and everyone has their own little thoughts, many of them joined the Donglin Party to seize power from other parties.

Such joining will lead to division within the Donglin Party.

For example, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others advocated the development of water conservancy, attach importance to industry and commerce, agriculture, oppose fraud in the imperial examination, and attach importance to Liaodong military.

The second is that he only wanted to kill the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party in the Beijing Prefecture, snatch power from them, and seek benefits for the gentry class behind him.

To sum up, the two factions are that Yang Lian and others want to collect commercial taxes and become enemies with the Zhejiang Party in disguise, while everyone in the other faction wants to impeach and become enemies with everyone.

The internal forces of these two types of Donglin Party are huge. When facing the Beijing Procuratorate three years later, if the three parties in Qi, Chu and Zhejiang want to avoid being killed by the Donglin Party, they can only support Ye Xianggao, who is not annoying and non-party.

After figuring out everything, Zhu Youjian also felt a stir in his heart.

He was not afraid that Ye Xianggao would get up to the top and get up to the top. To put it bluntly, Ye Xianggao would also benefit him.

To put it bluntly, it means not fighting or robbing. If someone impeaches him, Ye Xianggao will think he will be in a mixed bag.

But the problem is also here. Zhu Youjian wants to collect business taxes and land taxes with his good brother, so he must conquer the Zhejiang Party.

Then after Ye Xianggao became the chief minister, if he had been too close to the position of prime minister during the Beijing inspection and the Zhejiang Party survived, he would join forces with the Qi and Chu parties to join Wei Zhongxian and form a eunuch party against the Donglin Party as in history.

The eunuch party and Wei Zhongxian are two different things. If the eunuch party is really formed, then Zhu Youjian will be a little reluctant to make a decision.

Even if Wei Zhongxian was killed later, as long as the three parties joined forces, it would not matter whether Wei Zhongxian died or lived.

As powerful as the Donglin Party, after Chongzhen killed Wei Zhongxian, wasn’t it that the three parties, whose identity was quickly changed from eunuch to Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, kicked out of the cabinet in the second year of Chongzhen?

It is best to maintain a common political struggle between many parties. It would be better if we could do some practical things while fighting.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian had a headache.

If he remembered correctly, Ye Xianggao seemed to be inconsistent with Yang Lian...

What he has to do now is to use small teams such as Yang Lian to carry out reforms, and then use Wei Zhongxian to drive away all the people in Donglin's party who want to fight for power.

But if Ye Xianggao comes up, it will be inconsistent with his plan...

"You have to think of a way."

Zhu Youjian's face was gloomy and sunny, and at this time Xiangru also came to the back left gate and asked Zhu Youjian to see a flat bluestone square.

Not far away, under the Huang Luogu umbrella, Zhu Youxiao changed into a round-necked robe, tied up his hands and feet with wrist guards, and stuffed the front of the robe to the belt around his waist, looking like he had already prepared.

Beside him, two foals about four feet tall were constantly kicking the blue bricks, and beside them, there were two taller military horses.

On their opposite side, there were various weapons and bows and arrows. Obviously, Zhu Youxiao not only wanted to ride a horse, but also wanted to play something else.

In the distance, there are several straw targets standing on the square, probably for riding and shooting.

"Brother, come!"

When he saw Zhu Youjian's elephant, Zhu Youxiao immediately waved to the side, and the elephant also accelerated its speed to come under the Huang Luogai umbrella.

After Zhu Youjian got out of the car, a little eunuch stepped forward to put on his wrist guards and placed the round neck robe on his belt.

"My brother still needs to practice riding and shooting?"

"That's natural!"

Zhu Youjian asked, and the good emperor answered with a smile, and picked up a short bow from the bow stand, tried to pull the bow string, and then the string was buckled and slowly returned to the position.

The bow should not be shot empty, and the bow should be damaged by the empty shot.

Zhu Youxiao's every move seemed to have played with bows and arrows for a long time.

However, I have to say that when Zhu Youxiao, who is about five feet and five feet tall, looks at him with a hint of a heroic aura.

Compared to him, Zhu Youjian changed his wrist guards and put on his finger guards to ride and shoot, and stood beside him, looking much shorter.

"My brother rides this horse, I ride this horse from the Western Regions that the Wuti tribe has tributed! I named him the Pub Dragon!"

Zhu Youxiao said, holding a yellow war horse nearly five feet tall and gently stroked it.

This horse has white hair on its head, which is round like a full moon. Its white spots are mostly located at the belly and ribs. Its bones are thick and solid, with thick skin and dense hair, mane, and thick tail hair, and thick body shape.

"According to the tribute Tatars, this horse has the blood of a sweat-blooded BMW, so it grows tall."

"It's just a pity that there is only one horse in the entire Ming Dynasty..." Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youjian again and said:

"If my brother wants it, I will give it to you."

"Forget it..." Zhu Youjian waved his hand quickly:

"This war horse is too tall, I'm afraid I can't ride it. My brother should ride it. When I get older, I'll get a sweat-blooded BMW myself!"

"Okay!" Hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Zhu Youxiao smiled and turned over to the horse. He was very skillful in his movements and could tell that he often rode a horse.

This is in line with the description of Zhu Youxiao's "good horse racing" by eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty.
