History has proven that it is safest to hand over the merits of planning and establishment to the civil servant group, but it is not safe to hand it over to relatives, generals, eunuchs, and harems outside the clan.
However, the power of the civil servants is also the weakest among the above. This is because the relationship between the civil servant group and the imperial power is the most alienated, and the essence of imperial power is violence.
This is the problem that occurred in Nanming.
After Chongzhen hanged himself, Shi Kefa, Minister of the Ministry of War, originally planned to make Zhu Changzi, the king of Lu, the emperor, but the four generals from Jiangbei, Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, went to welcome Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu, who became the later Hongguang Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Shi Kefa reluctantly agreed, but this also led to the rift between the Nanming civil servant group and Emperor Hongguang.
Because the merits of the policy were not in their own hands, the civil servants were all in danger and refused to serve Emperor Hongguang. In troubled times, Shi Kefa did not have decent military strength at his own hands, but according to the Ming Dynasty's succession system, the civil servants The election of the emperor is inconsistent with the changes in the current situation.
In the end, the emperor did not trust him, and the civil servants did not support him. Shi Kefa was commendable for his loyalty, but it was a pity that he only knew the system and did not know about contingency.
The inheritance system in prosperous times is different from the inheritance system in troubled times.
In troubled times, the one with the strongest troops and horses will be the emperor.
The Brotherhood of the Golden Chamber is also a succession strategy in troubled times. However, Zhao and Song have been at peace for a long time. After more than two years of training by Zhao Dazhao, Han Qi has become a representative of the civil servant group.
After Zhang Yue succeeded Han Qi, he had no intention of giving up his power, but wanted to go further.
At this moment, in the Funing Hall, countless bright candles surrounded the emperor's curtains. But the light shining on the official's face gave off a sense of uncertainty.
The palace people and medical officers far outside the curtains also felt an inexplicable depression in the palace.
Officials remain silent and do not express their opinions. Not expressing their opinions is an attitude.
As a close confidant of the official family, Shi Deyi had to come out to resolve the situation and said repeatedly: "My dear husbands, what is going on? Let's talk about the establishment of the heir slowly."
Zhang Yue raised his head and glanced at Shi Deyi. Even Shi Deyi, who usually felt good friends with Zhang Yue, had to stay away at this moment.
Zhang Mao came forward from the side.
Zhang Mao is an old man in the Renzong Dynasty. Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Dowager Gao rely on them as confidants. He can also speak well at the civil service level, and Zhang Yue also has a deep friendship with him. But these are of no use now.
Zhang Maoze said: "The late emperor also ascended the throne from a prince, so there is nothing wrong with it."
Zhang Yue said: "Of course it's inappropriate. The late emperor ascended the throne as a prince, and your majesty ascended the throne as the crown prince."
In a nutshell, there is a difference between a prince's ascension to the throne and a crown prince's ascension to the throne.
Historically, the Nine Emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were the only ones who followed the process without any ambiguity. The others all had certain problems with the process or something went wrong in the process.
Because Shenzong ascended the throne as the crown prince, he was the eldest son by title and had no competitors.
So you don’t even need curtains!
Zhang Maoze said: "Your Majesty was the eldest son and inherited the great power of the ancestors. How did you ever hear people in the world say anything different?"
Zhang Yuedao: "The head of Li Li is indeed a ancestral system. Since ancient times, the father's career is taken for granted.
Zhang Maze heard that he was blocked, and even Shi Yiyi on the side did not dare to say anymore. Wang Yan was also surprised. Zhang Yue said all of this. He was really not afraid of offending people. It seemed that it was iron.
Zhang Yuedao: "Also, please take the command early, the heart of the world."
The queen queen after the curtain heard this, his expression was strange. Of course, he understood Zhang Yue.
Once the Civil Affairs Group has the success, their harem speaks a fart.
Isn't this the biggest capital of the Queen Mother Lin Dynasty?
Why did Han Qi dare to withdraw the curtain of Queen Mother Cao?
After the curtain, the queen queen looked at Wang Yan on the side of Zhangyue, and slowly spit out the figures 'faint incompetence'. In the past few days, the king of Yong continued to enter the palace.
Although she has no intention, she will not let go of the opportunity to seize people.
In terms of Li Chu, Zhang Yue, the prime minister who was about to Zhishi, held it.
As everyone knows, Zhang Yue has gone through the throne of Yingzong, and of course I know all this detail.
At that time, Yingzong was a prince, not the Crown Prince, so Feng Jingcai made a text when he urged the officials to stay.
At this step, even the officials of the official family could not care.
Why did the Queen Mother Cao, Ren Shouzhong's question of Li Lingzong's question is vague? Why did he repare the richness of the Empress Dowager's family back to the DPRK?
What are the fight behind this?
But for the official family, of course, he was angry. All of this was low in his eyelids, but he was still alive!
"What a rest and Communist Party! Didn't live up to the Qi Huai, wait for the locust, etc.!"
Zhang Yuedao: "Your Majesty, Chen, etc. ignore his body, just for the Society's plan."
The official family watched the seven classes and smiled hard, what was to move the stones and smashed their feet.
Once this policy stands, it cannot be recovered. It cannot be said that I support you today to be an emperor and will support his emperor tomorrow.
Since then, the seven people and the emperor's six are the people on the boat.
The official family could not deny the prime minister he chose at the same time. Unless he was ready to remove all of them.
The official family closed the eyes for a moment, and the knowledge of the matter was irreparable: "Zhu Qing's discussion, I know. In fact, I had a decisive heart.
The prime minister suddenly rejoiced, and said uniformly: "It turned out that His Majesty had a successful calculation, and it was a lot of things."
Guanjia said: "Zhu Qing Zhongyun, the heels are settled in the event of a big deal, I am really pleased."
After speaking, Zhang Yue said: "His Majesty's move really comforts the hearts of the world. But the system of this North Korea has always rumored a lot, please set a system for His Majesty!"
Wang Yan frequently visually visual Zhang Yue, you can accept it when you see it. But the rest of the slaughter will look forward to looking at the official house again.
The official family thought slightly, and finally said: "There is a concubine, there is no elder!"
That's right, it is the system of direct eldest son, not the eldest son.
Zhang Yue said: "I obey your Majesty's instructions, there are direct descendants, but there are no direct descendants."
Zhang Yue knew that it was almost done at this point. It would be unrealistic for the emperor to issue an imperial edict to establish the throne.
Things have to be done step by step, not done in one go.
Even if you get it right, the emperor will regret it. Then I might as well take the initiative to leave you room to regret it.
Zhang Yue said: "It's because of your Majesty's words that people in the world have a system to follow."
"Your Majesty has a son, Qi Yi, and I will show him to you first. I must die to repay your Majesty!"
The officials had an indifferent expression on their faces. There was no movement at all behind the curtain.
When Zhang Yue said this, all the ministers completed their mission and all retreated from Funing Palace.
There is no mistake, every song is published and every content is read one by one!
Zhang Yue also knew that what happened today had offended both the Emperor and Empress Dowager Gao, so it didn't matter that he was leaving anyway.
Always be a villain first and then a gentleman.
Don't be afraid of offending people, because it's better to say it now than later!
Looking at Zhezong's accession to the throne in history, it can be seen from historical data that Gao Taotao never thought of replacing his grandson Zhezong with King Yong. However, in this process, Gao Taotao made full use of his right to choose in exchange for concessions from the civil servant group.
During this period, Cai Que acted very loyal, bypassing Wang Gui and pushing for the throne. When Zhezong ascended the throne, Cai Que stayed in the Zhisu Palace for seven days to confirm that the other party had officially ascended the throne, and then he felt relieved.
Cai Que returned home and cried loudly to his family, saying, "I have finally lived up to the late emperor's trust."
But Cai Que's move also led to the worst move in history when Empress Dowager Gao wanted to demote Cai Que to Lingnan.
Why did Empress Dowager Gao do this even if she broke the rules?
Because Cai Que fought with Empress Dowager Gao because of Ce Li's contribution.
Where there are merits, there must also be faults.
Planning is the first merit, and the greater the merit of planning, the greater the fault that hinders planning!
And based on Cai Que's personality, if he is demoted and is restored to power one day, the consequences will be disastrous.
Wang Gui was deprived of everything by the New Party several times after his death because he favored the manipulation of Empress Dowager Gao.
Therefore, Zhang Yue wanted to confirm the system with the emperor.
As soon as the system comes out, everyone should stop fighting. No one has made any contribution. We will all act according to the rules.
If things are done according to the rules, the credit belongs to the civil service group.
Zhang Yue left the palace and complained to Wang Gui: "Teacher, the student made a mistake in the matter in the palace. Fortunately, the matter has been decided. We will make a decision today. If anything happens in the future, I will leave it to the teacher."
"I'm afraid I can no longer care about my life as I grow old."
Wang Gui is also self-aware, and officials will definitely not ask him to take care of his life.
He said: "To put it into perspective, if the important matter of establishing the crown prince is decided through public discussion instead of private discussion, the public service will not be great."
Zhang Yue said: "Teacher, whether it is public discussion or private discussion, as long as it can do good for the world, then it will be fine!"
"Of course the most important thing is to protect us from harm."
Wang Gui nodded and said: "Nothing in the world can be known until you try it. I am too cautious."
Zhang Yue smiled and echoed a few words from the bottom of his heart.
Be careful? You are obviously having second thoughts, okay?
Zhang Yue thought to himself, but having said that, it is better to be cautious. If you are not cautious, how can you show me to be brave?
Just like mountain climbing, Zhang Yue likes to walk with weak people. This not only shows that he is more than capable, but also builds a reputation for taking care of others.
If you were to walk with Cai Que walking so fast, not only would you not be able to keep up, but you would also be burdened.
However, what Cai Que and Wang Gui didn't know was that Zhang Yue's move actually saved them. However, whether they will reach the same fate in history depends on the fate of the two.
Wang Gui said: "Yes, Duzhi, do you think Bangzhi (Li Qingchen) will be appointed as Deputy Privy Envoy?"
Zhang Yue heard this and thought it was funny. You are really trying to take advantage of every opportunity.
"Deputy to the Privy Council?"
"Yes." Wang Gui and Zhang Yue discussed this many times.
Zhang Yue arrived: "Why not minister to the two prime ministers?"
Wang Gui couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "The two prime ministers on the left and right? Are you saying that Cai Chizheng wants him?"
Zhang Yue nodded slowly and said: "One carrot and one pit."
Wang Gui immediately looked at Zhang Yue with admiration. When it came to discussing rewards for meritorious deeds, Zhang Yue was absolutely generous.
After careful diagnosis and treatment at Tai Hospital, the emperor recovered from his illness one month later.
Soon the seventh year of Yuanfeng arrived.
Ps: I wrote this early in the morning, the next update will be the day after tomorrow.
