"Brother Cong, how did you get those old die-hards to agree to cooperate with us?" Chongzhen was so happy. Originally, he was depressed that the army stopped marching to Tongzhou. He never thought that he would receive the gang from the DPRK just after a day's rest.
A joint memorial from the bosses. Different from the previous eloquent letters of accountability, this time everyone is asking the emperor to severely punish the traitors in Litong. At the same time, in order to express their praise for the emperor's personal expedition and victory, this memorial is
In line with the principle of not disturbing the people and not adding burdens to the people, all the land owned by the national thieves was directly used as an imperial estate to show encouragement!
"Isn't this all what you asked for?" How could this emperor act like a rogue? If you hadn't been pestering me with tears and fuss, I would have asked Shilang Tao to fool them right now?
"When did my brother make such a request?" Chongzhen really had no memory of this matter. Who made Zhu Youcong keep getting him drunk recently? It made a good emperor suffer from amnesia.
Got it!
To say that this little fat man is really not an ordinary person, it remains to be seen whether his brain is good or not, but his drinking capacity is really beyond the reach of ordinary people! He is not yet sixteen years old, and he can drink at least three kilograms of liquor.
, anyway, Chongzhen doesn’t dare to drink with him alone now. Didn’t you see that Yuan Chonghuan has been sleeping since last night and still can’t stand up, and is lying on the grain cart?
"Brother Emperor, can't you be a little more attentive?" Zhu Youcong was very dissatisfied. You are the emperor anyway, how can you always be like this?
"What you said is wrong! This year, you and your eldest brother have had enough fun in Luoyang, but you don't know what kind of life we have..." Chongzhen decided to teach this little fat man a lesson, lest he think
I have nothing to do. "While you are still here, I, my brother, will rest first. In your words, this is called a balance between work and rest." At the end, I did not forget to remind: "Being an emperor is also a job, too.
You should have a vacation!”
"Pfft--" A mouthful of tea that he had not yet had time to swallow squirted all over Chongzhen's body. Zhu Youcong quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it over. Aren't I looking for something to do? How about talking to him about labor laws? This
Come on, the emperor is going to take a vacation! No, we must give up this idea as soon as possible!
"Brother Emperor, isn't it because you are idle?" It is not possible to reason with the emperor, especially when he wants to be lazy.
"Brother Cong, what you said is so heartless!" Chongzhen jumped up when he heard this. Little fat man, you are too unreasonable. In the past year, how often have I not gotten up early and gone late at night, and worked hard without slacking off? You
It’s fine if you don’t praise me, but you actually say that I’m bored? “If you don’t explain this clearly today, you won’t even think about letting me go as a brother!”
"My brother, I really haven't wronged you in this matter!" Zhu Youcong had planned to have a good talk with his cousin for a long time, and he just took this opportunity to let him know that no matter how great a person's ability is, he should let it go.
When the time comes, you have to let go. This will prevent him from working so hard like in history and ending up with all kinds of problems.
"Think about it, you are the emperor! You only need to grasp the general direction, why do you need to do everything yourself? Are all the ministers in the dynasty just used by you as decoration, and they shouldn't be responsible for their own work?
"To be honest, the political system of the Ming Dynasty was still very advanced. The cabinet system and the six-ministry system were only slightly modified even if they were passed down to later generations. The reason why Chongzhen exhausted himself to death was because he failed to
How well can he play through the set of game rules set by Chengzu for him?
"I think you just stand and talk without hurting your back!" Chongzhen was also angry. "You still don't know what the civil and military officials in the dynasty are thinking. Do you dare to leave things to them as a brother?"
"So I say you are idle! Didn't the ancestors leave Jinyiwei and East and West factories to you? Why did you shelve them?" If it weren't for the fact that you are my brother, I would
I will definitely beat you up, you idiot!….
"Factory guard?" Chongzhen has been hearing bad things about these two departments since he was a child. Although now he has turned a deaf ear to the words of those courtiers and will not believe it at all. But in recent years, Luo Yangxing has not caused much trouble.
There were public complaints, but it seemed that he was not doing anything other than following civil servants like a lapdog all day long, which also made him not have a good impression of those two institutions.
"Yes, we are going to reopen the factory guard! Open a brand new factory guard!" Everyone knows that power without supervision will inevitably lead to corruption, but this royal brother of mine really did that, and he deserves to be so tired.
It may be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention of setting up the Jinyiwei was not very pure, but his achievements cannot be ignored. What is the essence of the Jinyiwei? They monitor all officials, spy on their movements for the emperor, and investigate whether they are corrupt.
The agency for rebellious behavior is of course also the agency for protecting the emperor, which is equivalent to the National Security Bureau and the Anti-Corruption Bureau in later generations. Whether such an agency is good or bad is really a matter of two opinions. For officials, such an agency is very bad.
We are all gone, why is the emperor always staring at us when he has nothing to do? We are all good people, upright people influenced by Confucianism! So it is best not to have this thing, so as not to waste the country's money and food! For the people and the country, it should be
If officials have scruples, can they still mess around at will? Therefore, such an institution is too important and good. The country is safe and the people are blessed.
The Dongji Bureau is a supervisory department that is independent of the outer dynasty and superior to the Jinyiwei. Not only is it more capable and reasonable in terms of organization and staffing, but it has also formulated a very strict system for investigation operations, which is equivalent to the emperor himself.
Another curse was placed on the Jinyiwei. When this department was first established, a large portrait of Yue Fei could be seen in the lobby, reminding the Tiqi of the East to handle cases in vain. There was also an archway in front of the hall that said "Fragrance will last forever".
Of course, it is undeniable that the good scriptures will be distorted by the bald heads of fake monks. What was even worse than Emperor Tianqi was that Chongzhen completely gave up on the true scriptures simply because of the existence of those fake monks.
. As a result, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty no longer even have nominal supervision, so it’s really no wonder that people are trying to deceive you.
"Is this world yours?" It seems that I really need to teach him a lesson now, lest he continue to be confused when he returns to Beijing.
"No!" Seeing that Zhu Youcong was showing signs of going crazy and transforming again, Chongzhen hurriedly explained: "This world belongs to you, brother Cong, and me!"
Okay, since you are so flattering and the weather is nice today, I won’t argue with you, but I want to make it clear to you. “If you go by what you said, brother Huang, this world belongs to us.
, Of course we will not embezzle our own family, but will other officials think so? Will the people stand up for us three brothers when the country is in crisis?"
"This...should be possible!" It must be possible, haven't you seen how much the people support us now? If something really happens, they will definitely stand up to protect us; as for those bureaucrats, I can't say!
"You..." Zhu Youcong was simply furious. No wonder you are so easy to fool. "Can I beat you?"
"No! I am the emperor!" Chongzhen quickly jumped to the side, protecting his chest with both hands, looking like a pitiful little daughter-in-law who had been frustrated.
"Do you still know that you are the emperor?" Zhu Youcong rolled his eyes and suppressed his anger: "But what good can your thoughts do to the people of the world? Just your occasional good deeds will make them die.
Follow you?"
"Then what do you think we should do?" This seems to make sense, but hasn't it been like this for thousands of years?
"Leave this world to the people! Let them participate in the supervision system of the new era, and gradually let the people understand that they are the masters of this country!" The so-called people's eyes are sharp. With the supervision of the people, those officials
All the evil will be hidden...
"Using ordinary people as factory guards?" This is a good idea, and it can also save the court a lot of expenses.
Zhu Youcong wondered if the emperor had been suffering from alcoholism recently, but he could come up with such a ridiculous conclusion. Using ordinary people as factory guards? Even if they were given that right now, would they dare to use it after being bullied for thousands of years?
"Brother Emperor! Can you please stop drinking?" I don't know if Lu Xiangsheng's reconnaissance camp was too boring, but they actually found several jars of wine left by the Tatars in Shanhaiguan. This is good, the emperor simply decided
I used this thing as a drink as soon as I got up, and even called it to train my drinking capacity and use wine to relieve hangover!
"Okay! Tell me, what should I do?" Chongzhen put down the wine glass reluctantly and showed a simple and honest smile. This is also available in the Eastern and Western Palaces, but it is far inferior to the taste that Xiyi gave to the Tatars.
Humph, now even those barbarians dare to deceive me. Once we finish the work at hand, we will ask my brother Cong to take care of them!
"Establish independent inspection yamen in each county. All officials are appointed by the inner court and are only responsible to you, the emperor. They have built-in copper kettles, giving the people the power to secretly report and spread rumors!" Later generations are not saying that all reactionary forces will eventually
Will they be submerged in the vast ocean of the People's War? The lives of the common people are not very stable these days, so there is no need for them to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy for the time being; but if everyone has free time, they can chat about family affairs, and it shouldn't delay much.
"No! No! If you do this, are you going to let your brother live?" Hearing what happened, do you think it's fun? Once this case is made, those real and fake memorials will not give me
Buried alive? Besides, all the dynasties in the past could only let hundreds of officials do it. I never heard of it requiring the whole people to mobilize!
"Wait until I finish speaking before you object!" Zhu Youcong didn't understand politics and couldn't help Chongzhen establish a complete supervisory system. Now he could only bring out some things that later generations had heard. "That's why I proposed it.
Reform the factory guards! From now on, the East Factory will be responsible for collecting intelligence, and the Jin Yiwei will be responsible for arresting and interrogating for verification. Finally, the West Factory will make the final results known to the world!"
"This is a good idea!" Hearing that he didn't have to work by himself, Chongzhen also put down his thoughts. He thought that those guys in the past could no longer be used, but the manpower problem was not too difficult. After all, the only place where he can really do it now is in the north.
The provinces have thousands of loyal guards, no matter how incompetent they are. However, if they are sent out to collect complaints from the people, and then investigate and collect evidence, they are still barely competent. As for the final ones who are responsible for execution... I have it in my hands.
There is no one left, but that doesn’t stop me from borrowing some from my brother Cong? I don’t want much, just a new editor! Of course, there shouldn’t be any objections to taking some off and being responsible for the security of the palace or something like that!
