Chapter 967 What do you want to say?
The cabinet ministers were still a little confused, as if something was a big deal happened just under their noses before they could react.
The head of the Jinyiwei has become a viscount. Under this situation, if the viscount is a little more than above, it will be a genuine and honest nobleman.
But after all, I made a contribution and really killed two thousand people. I would have such a reward. After all, I really established my power in the Ming Dynasty and did not hurt my soldiers. This is a merit worthy of a book.
.
But what happened to the additional award of General An Yuan?
Where can the head of the Jinyiwei be granted the title of general? Even if this is just an honorary title without real power, what real power does the head of the Jinyiwei want?
This Jinyiwei can be a guard or a detective or a royal family in wartime, but it is time for wartime that Jinyiwei can also come from a real combat force. If Zhou Yu gives the military power a little more...
The cabinet ministers didn't dare to think about what kind of monster institution the Jinyiwei would become.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, military power may not be in his hands, but the command power of the Jinyiwei must be carefully controlled. The Jinyiwei East Factory and even the Western Factory that has not appeared yet, these things should be an extension of the emperor's rights.
It is the tool and eyes of the emperor to manage the entire country and monitor the entire country.
This can play a good role in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, but I won’t say what some people who claim to be wise rulers did and what the country and country had harmed.
Anyway, there is a joke that says that Chongzhen gave Wei Zhongxian one million taels of military expenses, and Wei Zhongxian had to pay at least 400,000 taels, because Wei Zhongxian knew that it really needed 400,000 military expenses to block the enemy.
And when the Donglin Party, which also gave one million taels to the Donglin Party, represented the largest civil servant faction in the Ming Dynasty, could not pay the one million taels of silver after getting the money, because they didn't care whether the border was not
Can block the enemy.
It's too exaggerated to say this, but it's almost the same. If one million taels are not enough for someone like Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian will probably try every means to get two million taels from other places, and the two million they get later.
Two half of them are put into the front line, no matter what, they are at least doing things and achieving their goals.
And if you hand over this money to the Donglin Party... there is no need to give examples. History has proved a lot of things.
Although there are no civil servants in the Donglin Party court now, they are still loyal to the emperor and patriotic, it does not mean that the emperor will give up what he should have or be self-confidence.
The emperor and court officials cannot be consistent forever. The emperor's imperial power and ruling power represent the civil officials represent the power of governance and implementation. Simply put, it cannot be consistent forever between imperial power and ministerial power. It has always been in a kind of separation and reunion.
The situation.
The emperor may be more inclined to formulate policies based on the stability of the rule and the interests of the royal family, while civil officials who were influenced by Confucianism often uphold this idea to govern the country.
But if it can be so beautiful, it can actually find a relative unity between the two. But if human nature is added as a factor, the situation will become more complicated, and once human nature intervenes, it will definitely be
Disputes of interest.
As the supreme ruler, the emperor hopes to monopolize decision-making power to ensure that his will can be implemented smoothly.
However, the civil servants often try to participate in or even lead the decision-making process based on their own knowledge and experience and in-depth understanding of government affairs.
This is the manifestation of each individual's pursuit of their own interests. If the emperor is strong, it will naturally be able to suppress civil officials. But if the emperor does not care about the affairs, the civil officials' power will naturally be greater than that of the emperor.
No matter which dynasty, there will be a collective opposition from ministers to do something. Sometimes they really cannot do it and dissuade them. However, sometimes the interests of the civil servants are related to the interests of the civil servants. In this case, civil servants will follow the traditional patriarchal system and etiquette norms.
Come and try to convince the emperor that if one side is strong enough, the other side will definitely not be able to fight, and this is the decision-making interests.
As the main operating group of the imperial court, the civil officials have actual operational power, so the emperor naturally has to monitor and restrict civil officials. However, this restriction and surveillance will make civil officials dissatisfied and try every means to prevent or abolish these restrictions. After all, civil officials also have their own interests, and
Being an official is for personal gain.
From ancient times to the present, how many officials have not been for their own selfish interests? There must be some, but there must be fewer.
The Jinyiwei and the Dongchang are also things that the court officials have always wanted to eliminate, and they can only say that they have achieved remarkable results in recent years.
Just like the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei is no longer as good as the two emperors Taizu and Taizong when they were in power. The Jinyiwei was the real peak at that time, but after knocking on the door and ascending the throne, the Jinyiwei has been now
It has weakened a lot, and even the position of the Jinyiwei Commander became a matter for a eunuch to make decisions by himself.
The Jinyiwei, who was supposed to be dependent on the imperial power, became loyal to Wang Zhen when he arrived at Ma Shun. Isn’t this nonsense? Fortunately, Ma Shun finally has the airs of a commander of the Jinyiwei.
The civil officials' own interests are also contrary to the emperor's interests. Civil officials want a lot of things and everyone has different things. One or two people have little influence. This is a huge group. One or two people do evil.
It’s very small, but when you do evil things in ten thousand people, it’s completely different.
The honor and development of the promotion of official positions and family, and even gold, silver and jewelry, are what they want. These civil officials will form various political forces through the relationship between fellow villagers and the same year in the imperial examination to maintain their interests.
The most typical example in the Ming Dynasty was the Donglin Party, which was a political group dominated by Jiangnan literati and wealthy families. Zhou Yu's series of measures against Jiangnan were to suppress Jiangnan geniuses and wealthy families.
In order to ensure their own interests, these people can do anything, the interests of the country are not their interests, the interests of the emperor are not their interests, and the interests of the people have nothing to do with them.
All history from ancient times to the present tells us that such nobles and gentry exploited the people in their prosperous times and chaotic times, but one thing is that whoever becomes emperor has had a very little impact on them, because any one of them has any
Rulers all need civil officials to govern the country, merchants to develop the economy, and families to stabilize the place.
But for Zhou Yu, civil officials can be ignored, merchants can be killed, and all the aristocratic families can be promoted. The army of the Jinyiwei East Factory is the most important thing to hold in his hands.
Why? Because there are tens of thousands of scholars in the world, there are no more scholars without the current civil servants. That's the saying that if you don't do it, some people will do it.
The cabinet minister immediately reacted, and then Zhou Yu began to oppose it unexpectedly without any consequences.
"Emperor, although Ma Shun made great contributions, there is never a precedent for the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei or the title general. This violates the ancestral system. If you want to be the general, you should leave the Jinyiwei and go to the Governor's Office of the Five Army."
Zhou Yu looked at the other party and smiled and nodded: "Ma Shun, tell me specifically about the wartime experience."
"Yes, the emperor." Ma Shun glanced at the minister coldly and said in a deep voice: "Five hundred people fought against two thousand cavalry and our army won all the victory until the enemy could not let our army enter the strong bow.
The range was just a charge, and our army would destroy the enemy. The flesh and blood were flying everywhere and no complete enemy corpse could be found."
