Chapter 11 Military System Reform (II)

No one dares to ask about the emperor's private life. Even if you see everything and hear it, you can only rot in your stomach. As the most effective eunuch by Zhu Yinglong, Xu Yingyuan knew very well the most basic and important unspoken rules in the palace, and was also ready to help the emperor lie and deceive the harem.

It can be seen that Xu Yingyuan is a loyal slave, but when the word "slave" suddenly popped up from Zhu Yinglong's heart, he was really shocked. When did he also have a level of difference in people in his heart? Have he changed?

"I disappeared for no reason for a day and a night. What's going on inside and outside the palace?"

When he heard this low and slow voice suddenly coming into his ears, Xu Yingyuan subconsciously raised his head, quickly followed him, and replied carefully: "The palace is quite calm. Except for Empress Yu and Empress Depeng, the other empresses did not know that the emperor had left the palace."

"Yeah." Zhu Yinglong nodded with satisfaction. For now, he didn't want many people to know Zhang Yan's secret. This did not involve frankness and trust, because the people in the palace were too mixed. If Zhang Yan had not been able to stay in Shou'an Palace for a year and had not left the house, he would have only had a few palace maids in his daily life, and he was also a confidant. In addition, Zhu Yinglong's harem after entering the Forbidden City changed a lot, and many older palace maids were released from the palace and married to others.

Zhang Yan is originally extremely noble and has a simple life. She is only a few older eunuchs and female officials who are of the same grade can see Feng Yan. Most of this group were killed during the palace transformation, or were swept to Nanjing by Wei Zhongxian, and ended up with a different body and head. Therefore, there were very few people in the palace who had seen Zhang Yan, and they were basically controlled by Zhu Yinglong. It was precisely because of the ripening of the above conditions that Zhu Yinglong dared to use the strategy of cheating and hiding the beauty in the golden house.

"Cabinet, how many copies are there in the Military Machinery Pavilion today?" Zhu Yinglong asked while walking.

"There are 13 memorials from various governors who have been transferred to the cabinet by Tongzhengsi. It seems that Mr. Sun Ge of the Military Museum has not submitted the memorials. It may be..."

"Is there going to the Grand Court tomorrow?" Zhu Yinglong said to himself. The absence of a memorial means that something big will happen in the Grand Court tomorrow. The Junji Pavilion suddenly calmed down. This is not the style of the Grand Secretary of the Junji Pavilion. These people on the morning court tomorrow would probably bring some shocking joy to themselves.

"There is also the Censorate. Recently, the censors have repeatedly impeached Lord Shi Kefa, and the memorials have been suppressed by the cabinet."

"Oh, why don't I know anything about this?" Zhu Yinglong's face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to his calmness.

"The day before yesterday, I happened to pass by Wenhua Pavilion. I happened to hear a few ignorant slaves talking about something behind my back. I was eavesdropped. The slave was not sure the news was true or false, so I never dared to say it." Xu Yingyuan said nervously, secretly hating himself in his heart why he couldn't control his mouth. He had nothing to do.

"What have you heard? Tell me and just say it to me to relieve my boredom." Zhu Yinglong was not displeased. He vaguely smelled a trace of unusualness in the air. His intention was obvious. Zhili did not have a governor. Although Shi Kefa was only the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, this was also the highest-ranking prefects in the country. From the third rank, Shi Kefa did the job of the governor Shuntian and the governor of Zhili. Almost all local military and political power was concentrated in his hands. Except for the emperor, the entire capital was under his jurisdiction, and many government orders and reforms were almost poor.

Not many of them were proposed by Shi Kefa, and then Zhu Yinglong issued an edict to implement it. Therefore, inside and outside the court, regardless of the officials, gentry and the people heard and saw, Shi Kefa was leading the series of political and economic reforms of the Ming Dynasty. Those who lost their interests or even lost their official positions in the reform naturally hated Shi Kefa to the core. Therefore, it is not uncommon for some people to impeach Shi Kefa. But why did the cabinet suppress all the memorials that impeached Shi Kefa? Why? Does the cabinet think that these people are just clowns and are not worthy of the trouble of the emperor? Or is there another purpose?

In terms of political and economic reform, Zhu Yinglong himself felt very shameless. He originally had various reform plans he proposed directly, but now he has transferred them to several trusted ministers one by one. This is also a helplessness towards reality, because he cannot make mistakes at this time. Even if he is wrong, the mistake cannot be the emperor. He wants to maintain the power of the monarch and imperial power, and for a considerable period of time, he must maintain his own myths of no mistakes. If the mistake or sacrifice can only be borne by his ministers. This is politics, he must be a bitch and a archway. Although Zhu Yinglong hates doing this, he can only do this. The subject has fallen, and he, the emperor, is there, as long as he saves his life, there is still a day to make a comeback.

He is not the kind of emperor who dies in a cunning rabbit and cooks a dog. If his emperor falls down, it will be a national disaster. Of course, isn't this a bit narcissistic or arrogant? At least he knows that Zhu Yuanzhang has only appeared in the past two thousand years of the peasant uprising. Liu Bang is not counted. He is at least a lowest state bureaucrat. The limitations of peasant uprisings and the small peasant thoughts in his bones. In the face of the invincible cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty, he can only be slaughtered by others. The rich Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Mongols on the horse, not to mention a broken and rotten Ming Dynasty. Without the existence of foreign enemies, it may be possible to survive, but this is impossible. There is strength, there is weakness. The yin and yang of heaven and earth, and the strong are the unchanging truth.

Of course, this kind of transfer is not only Shi Kefa, Huang Zunsu, Xu Guangqi and others. His purpose is to disperse political risks and to balance the court. Huang Zunsu and Xu Guangqi are either not great scholars of the times or have lofty prestige in the court. These people suddenly took office after taking over Zhu Yinglong's entry into the Forbidden City. However, with their own abilities and prestige, even if someone disobeys, they dare not speak out. But Shi Kefa is different. His rocket-like promotion is the result of one person's attainment and the ascension of the chickens and dogs. Although Shi Kefa's political achievements are there, the time he entered the court was too short and his foundation was too shallow, so the struggle between the old and new forces suddenly pushed him to an extremely dangerous height.

The fuse of the struggle against a series of new policies was precisely because of a secret copy and a memorial led by Shi Kefa, and a dozen young and energetic officials who supported the new policies. The content of the memorial was to require the court to abolish the title and feudal system and turn the title into an honorary reward. The court no longer raised these nobles and idle people, and also proposed to abolish or reduce a series of empowerment systems. The descendants of officials no longer have privileges. The titles other than the royal family are not hereditary, but can be taken care of in terms of admission and business.

This memorial is very secret and is still locked in a secret room specially opened in the Nanshu Room. Because the conditions for implementation are not yet mature, the content of the secret memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial memorial
