The Zhenfusi and the Dongchang were the two major killing weapons controlled by the emperor.

Of course, it is often mentioned in historical books that are negative comments.

Because civil officials and eunuchs are like natural enemies, they are eunuchs at every turn, as if eunuchs have power, they are foolish emperors, and eunuchs have the power to be in chaos in the court.

However, in history, there were few cases of eunuchs chaotic politics, but officials had many parties and were in trouble.

Moreover, the emperor valued eunuchs, on the one hand, it was trust; on the other hand, it was well-informed and not deceived; on the other hand, it was suppressing officials and becoming the tool for the emperor to command behind the scenes.

Zhu Youxiao also used eunuchs and polite tutoring department. There are all three reasons for the above three aspects. However, with the changes in the court, the focus has also been constantly changing.

At the beginning, the emperor was extremely disappointed with the officials in the court and used the Pacification Department and the Dongchang to severely deal with a group of corrupt officials and those who fought against the country.

Even so, the imperial prison in Dongchang was transferred to the Pacification Department, and the arrest and interrogation were separated.

When the DPRK changed, the Censorate replaced the Iron-faced official trusted by the emperor. The main functions of the Pacification Department turned to external intelligence reconnaissance and collection, while the East Factory was responsible for internal surveillance.

Now, the cabinet and the six ministries are basically capable officials trusted by the emperor. The power of the Dongchang has been further compressed and the arrest authority has been restricted.

In short, the nature of the Zhenfusi and the Dongchang is increasingly like the emperor's eyes and ears, ensuring that news from all aspects is quickly and accurately reflected.

The judicial power is basically affiliated with the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice and other relevant judicial departments.

The officials agreed and supported this. The emperor took a step forward to the rule of law, which was also his goal.

However, if the Zhenfu Department and the Dongchang were abolished, the emperor would definitely disagree. Mutual supervision requires multiple departments and no one can dominate the country.

Now the court is clear and the officials work hard. But over time, they may not be able to make old problems again, which makes the Ming Dynasty go on the old path again.

The Emperor always held a knife in his hand, which could shock the civil servants.

Lao Wei didn't care about the contraction of power in the Dongchang, and he was relieved. He was a high position and a high power, and he was also a eunuch. There were several good endings in history.

The emperor's trust is still there, and this is the most important thing. As a eunuch, being able to live in peace and achieve a good end is already a great emperor's grace.

Eunuch Wei is also old. In history, he is now in a miserable state, or has hanged himself.

Although he doesn't know this, it doesn't prevent him from making a judgment on his life.

The more the emperor valued you, the more power you gave you, the more likely it would be introduced to beheaded as a scapegoat in the future. It is not uncommon in all dynasties.

Yes, when the emperor mentioned Fang Zhenghua, he obviously valued it. He was old, how many years could he do it? Saying a few more good things in the future can be considered a good relationship.

Old Wei thought to himself that he respectfully listened to the emperor's orders, which was nothing more than a major disaster. He should be wary of evil people spreading rumors and causing trouble, establishing religions and causing chaos, and he should not relax the corruption of local officials.

"Several vassal kings have reached the age of becoming a vassal after leaving the capital." The emperor suddenly changed his mind, and what he said made Old Wei immediately feel energetic, his ears erect, for fear of missing a word.

In recent years, the emperor's suppression of the vassal states has been obvious to all. King Xin, King Gui and other vassal states also remained in the capital and had no intention of releasing the vassal states.

But now, when the emperor suddenly mentioned this matter, has his thinking changed?

The surveillance of the vassal kings is indeed within the scope of the functional scope of the East Factory. Lao Wei listened carefully and was thinking about who was more reliable and could be sent to monitor the vassal kings.

The emperor gently stroked his forehead, obviously a little worried. It was a big expense to leave the capital and stayed in the capital and waited for death, and he was upset to watch it.

Let them study in the sect and arrange errands for them. But it seems that they are not the material yet.

After all, they all have the surname Zhu, and there are also the emperor's uncles, so they cannot be killed by "pigs".

The disaster lasts so long, especially in the north. How much food will be wasted if these manure-making machines are left in the capital? They are all transported from overseas to south, from thousands of miles away.

As the disaster approached, the emperor had imagined the worst situation. He even moved the capital to Nanjing and took his wife, children and family members to the south for dinner.

This is not a random thought. In history, the emperor took his ministers away from the capital to eat, which happened in the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.

Since there is a precedent, the emperor doesn’t feel embarrassed. Of course, after a year of disaster resistance, the emperor’s confidence has increased greatly, and this idea has been thrown out of the nine heavens.

It is no longer necessary to move, but the people in the capital need to dilute the diversion, just like the people in the disaster-stricken areas in the north want to immigrate, reducing the consumption of food and reducing the burden on the court.

Like those vassal kings and nobles, they are all idle food, so they can get out!

There is a lot of food in the south and the impact of disasters is small. Wouldn't it be nice to eat there? Going further south, like Mekong Province, is also a good place!

The emperor said slowly, Old Wei lowered his head and his eyes turned. He really didn't expect that the emperor asked for a vassal, and that's what he was looking for!

"I have ordered Dong Yingju to build a mansion, King Rui, King Hui, and King Gui to join the vassal one after another." The emperor leaned behind the imperial chair, let out a long breath, and said, "The ancestor system cannot be violated, and I don't want to be a reputation of being harsh and being careless."

"The emperor is kind, this is a wise move." Old Wei bowed and said, "I will choose the staff and go to Mekong Province soon."

The emperor nodded with a smile, waved his hand and waved his hand to Old Wei back.

Anyone who sits and eats and waits to die is mostly waste. Whether it is the "pig" raised in the Ming Dynasty or the hard-core crops of the Qing Dynasty, they are finally some parasites that are not as good as martial arts.

Therefore, the emperor had no good impression of the vassal state. The opportunity was also given. Is it difficult to learn a skill in the sect? Isn’t it good to become an official and exchange official positions for titles?

If you take out your savings and join the fund, you may earn more than your salary. Why are you so stingy? You have to save money at home and you have to reach out to the court. Are you shameless?

The emperor was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

The system of surrendering attacks has not been officially implemented yet, and the emperor did not want to make too much move during the disaster, which would hinder stability.

But if we waited every day, the loss was the court and the country. The cost of disaster relief was already very high, but these guys ignored it.

This is forcing me to take action!

"Summon the cabinet Yuan Keli, Sun Chengzong, and the Minister of War Xiong Tingbi to come to Beijing to meet." The emperor walked around the hall twice, and had made up his mind, so he ordered the palace servants to go and summon them.

Power comes from the barrel of a gun, and the barrel of a gun is now in my hands. Who dares to move around?

The emperor was confident that he would subdue the vassals and the powerful, but he was cautious and discussed with Sun Shi Yuan to ask Xiong Tingbi to arrange troops from all over the country in advance.

Who dares to rebel and take it down immediately? The emperor is worried that he will not find an excuse!
