Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 44
Jiyi Temple.

The three honorable men who followed Cheng Jing in, all dressed in full robes, looked unattractive, walked into the hall, saw Zhu Qiyu sitting on the head, and bowed their hands.

"See Your Majesty."

"No gift, give a seat!"

Zhu Qiyu looked at the three in front of him.

They are almost among the honorable people today, the ones who can show it, and the ones who speak the most.

The rest are either under-qualified, or have just been recruited and are too young.

After sitting on the throne for so many years in his previous life, he naturally understood the situation of Xungui.

In the [-]th year of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were two large-scale titles of the Founding Heroes and the Jingnan Heroes, and about [-] were actually granted.

However, due to Emperor Taizu's frantic expulsion in his later years, coupled with the numerous cases in these years, he was excommunicated for various reasons.

There are more than fifty honorable honors in Daming.

Among them, only nine of the founding heroes were left, and most of them were left in Nanjing.

There are more than [-] heroes of Jingnan, who are the main source of honor in the capital today.

There are still more than ten people left, including Renzong, Xuanzong and the honorable honors who were conferred by Jinshang. There are many people in this group, but most of them are sent to various places to guard one side.

Under the deliberate guidance of many civil servants, many people feel that honors and honors are court worms who hold the salaries of the court, hold the honor of hereditary and irreplaceable, and oppress the common people every day.

But it's not actually the case.

As the top power among the military officials, Xungui was extremely important in the Ming Dynasty's military officials system.

Leaving aside the founding honors and honors far from the political center, from Zhu Qiyu's point of view, the remaining honors and honors can be roughly divided into two types.

One is senior and the other is junior.

The former is represented by the nobles of Jingnan, with profound qualifications. His father and grandfather once killed generals and captured the flag, and made countless military exploits for the Ming Dynasty. He has high strength and prestige in the army. Intertwined and powerful.

This kind of honor, Zhu Qiyu prefers to call them the honor of the capital.

Because their basic plan is in the capital, their main role is to be responsible for the management of the army, and most of the officers in charge of the five military governors' offices are selected from among them.

With their deep seniority and complex in-law relationships, they are easily tied together, so only a few representatives are needed to compete with the increasingly powerful Wenchen Group.

However, the disadvantage is that because they have been ennobled for too long, they cannot go to the battlefield at all. Some of them can fight and fight, and they are more willing to lead troops to fight the rebellion. They will not be in charge of the capital, and because of selection The scope is not wide enough, which led to the frequent occurrence of various problems such as corruption, incompetence, and fraud in the government of the Five Armies.

The other is the junior seniors, and to put it bluntly, it is Renzong, Xuanzong, and the new honors and honors who are named today.

The number of this group of people is not large, but the quality is very high. The earliest among them was only more than [-] years old, and the more recent ones were only a few years old, and they did not rely on the title of Jing Rai. Basically, they all depended on solid military achievements. They have come up step by step, so their ability is very strong, but the disadvantage is that they are not qualified enough.

This kind of honor, Zhu Qiyu called them foreign honor.

Because after they were ennobled, they were often dispatched by the imperial court to guard or lead troops to fight rebellions.

This group of people can be said to have dedicated themselves to Daming and died.

Zhu Qiyu has not calculated it carefully, but generally speaking, most of these foreign nobles will stay in the guarded place until they are old, or die in the fight against the rebellion, and pass the title to the next generation before they are recalled to the capital. , to stay safe and secure until the new generation grows up.

Generally speaking, if the new generation is still outstanding, then they can gain a firm foothold in the capital, enter the five military governor's mansion, and become a member of the capital's honor.

If the qualifications of the new generation are mediocre, then it will be passed down to two or three generations, and when the qualifications come up, they will barely be able to advance to the highest level of military officials.

Daming's Wuchen system maintained a good operation by relying on this internal and external cooperation and continuous flow mode.

But now, all of a sudden, the system is broken.

Originally, there were more than [-] Jingnan honorables in the capital. Among them, in addition to the first-generation honorable person who was the pillar of the British Prince, there were also seven or eight second-generation honorables with profound experience and a dozen or so legitimate prime-age third-generation honorables. The next seven or eight are the four generations of nobles who have just taken the title. Most of them are teenagers, and they have not yet participated in political affairs.

This time, the emperor's personal expedition has another meaning, that is, the second generation of honorable nobles in power is handing over the power of military ministers to the three generations of honorable honors who have grown up.

When they win the battle and carry a great military merit on their backs, they can logically enter the commander-in-chief of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, which is enough to compete with the civil servants in court without falling behind.

But the battle is won!

Not only did they lose, they all died!

As a result, the military officials system in the capital faced a big problem, and there was a vacuum period of power.

After the Civil War, there were only seventeen nobles left in the capital, and five or six of them were teenage children who had just been enthroned.

It should be the most important and the most numerous of the three generations of honors, but there are only seven or eight poor families left.

As for the second-generation nobles who can carry the banner of the military ministers and fight against the civil ministers, there are only the three left in front of them.

Among them, only Xin Chengbo Zhao Rong is still relatively young, Cheng'an Hou Guo Sheng and Feng Cheng Hou Li Xian are both over 70 years old, especially Li Xian, he is almost [-] years old...

If not, Xungui would not have given up the right to nominate the Jingying Admiral so easily when discussing matters on that day.

There really is no one who can top it!

After the salute, the three nobles looked at their noses and hearts, and said nothing.

To be honest, they really didn't like the royal clan of King Yu.

In the civil war, it is obvious that the most serious losses are their honors, but this Prince Yu, not only did not say that he helped them resist the sword of the civil servants, but also turned down the stone.

You know, it's Jingying!

Especially for the nobles and nobles of the capital, Jingying is their biggest capital to compete with the civil servants, and as a result, they were taken away from the nomination rights in such a confused way.

Don't be angry!
Last night, people from Prince Yu’s Mansion asked them to come to Jiyi Palace to see them today.

I just need to tell Zhu Qiyu brightly that we Xungui and you, King Yu, are not the same people!

At this time, Zhu Qiyu didn't speak, and they didn't bother to speak, so they just froze.

Until Zhu Qiyu raised his hand, picked up a few notes on hand, motioned Cheng Jing to pass it over.

The three circulated it, and just after reading the first book, Li Xian, the white-haired Hou of Fengcheng, jumped up.

"These bastards are so deceiving! The old man is fighting with them!"

Guo Sheng and Zhao Rong were relatively calm, but after reading it, their faces were also gloomy.

The content of the memorial is very simple, that is, to impeach four ministers of honor and Qi who accompanied him on the expedition, including Gu Xingzu, Marquis of Zhenyuan, Gaoyuan, Chief of Jianping, Jiang Xin, Chief of Loyalty and Yong, and Liu An, Chief of Guangning.

And they were the only ones who came back alive among the large number of nobles who went on the expedition this time.

Especially the Marquis of Zhenyuan, Gu Xingzu and Jianping Bo Gaoyuan, are among the three generations of honorable relatives and one of the most promising successors!

Guo Sheng couldn't help sighing in his heart, Wen Chen's counterattack must have come too soon...

Pulling the sleeve of Li Xian who was furious, Guo Sheng asked.

"The lord called me to wait, is he going to give us another slap in the face?"
