Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 88 Border Patrol Minister
Looking at the ministers who walked out of the palace gate, Zhu Qiyu smacked his lips, and thought of a wise saying again: Take history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall; take people as a mirror, you can understand the pros and cons!

If he hadn't seen the good things Jiajing did, he would never have thought in his life that he would still be able to do this.

Sure enough, people just need to be more knowledgeable, and some methods are straightforward, but without piercing that layer of window paper, you can't think of it if you want to break your head.

Of course, this is also due to the difficult situation now, otherwise, these ministers would have to make trouble for ten days and a half months, how could they be sent away by his handwriting.

After all, he is not the empty prince who just woke up at the beginning, has no power and no power, needs to act cautiously, and can only rely on the prestige of courtiers.

The great court meeting a few days ago, plus yesterday's East Palace ceremony, had confirmed his prestige and status, and now he can do things as he pleases.

Turning his gaze back to the hall, he saw that Chen Xun and Gao Gu both lowered their heads. Although they did not know why they were left behind, they were both smart-minded people.

Thinking of the edict of succession that was discussed in the palace just now, I couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, this edict was mainly drawn up by the cabinet, but it was not quite in line with the wishes of His Royal Highness.

At this moment, King Yu dismissed the ministers and left them behind. Wouldn't it be to settle accounts after the autumn?

Ordering people to serve two cups of tea, Zhu Qiyu said with a warm look.

"The two gentlemen don't need to be nervous. This king has no other intentions to keep the two of you. There are just a few things that I would like to discuss with the two of you."

Chen Xun and Gao Gu sat down and secretly looked at the expression of His Royal Highness King Yu. They saw that there was nothing unusual. In addition, the cabinet had the function of preparing for consultation, so he felt relieved and handed back. : "This is a matter within the equal division of the ministers. Your Highness asks."

Zhu Qiyu said: "This first matter is about the candidates for patrolling the border. Now the border is unstable, and the military equipment of each pass is in chaos. A few days ago, the censor of the left capital, Chen Yi, gave a performance and suggested that the imperial court dispatch censors to station in each pass. Coordinate the defense, do the two gentlemen still remember this matter?"

The two nodded, they were naturally clear about this matter, and even this matter was drafted by the two of them.

These days, although the DPRK and China have been arguing endlessly because of various issues, those are the things that the top executives are worried about.

With the supervision of His Royal Highness King Yu, most of the government affairs are still in progress, the most important of which is the defense and rectification of the capital and the border.

On the capital's side, it is said that Yu Qian has officially taken over the Beijing camp. He has been so busy these days that even the military department doesn't return much, and his energy is all on the Beijing camp's defense, so naturally they don't have to worry about it.

At the same time, the border defense mobilization is naturally continuing to advance.

After thinking for a while, Gao Gu said: "Returning to Your Highness, there is indeed such a thing. Until now, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has dispatched patrolling gates to cooperate with the censors who guarded the gates. In the matter, including the seven Fengxian officials who were punished at the Dachao meeting, There are a total of 41, and most of the passes along the border have officials on duty."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, he was naturally aware of this situation.

The official defense system of Jiubian Military Town in Daming has not yet been formed, but there are indeed many large and small passes. The east-west direction, from Liaodong to Yansui, north-south direction, from Xuanfu to Juyongguan, the large and small passes in preparation for war are sufficient. There are more than fifty.

After all, 41 censors are actually not enough.

But there is no way to do it. There are about [-] censors standing in the Duchayuan. A group of Tumubao died, and there are still a group of inspectors in Jiangnan and other places.

These more than 40 censors are already most of the manpower available to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. After all, there are still some people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate to maintain daily operations.

Speaking of this, I have to say one more thing. In fact, the original intention of Taizu to set up the Duchayuan was to use the censor to monitor the lawlessness in the world, and then use the Jinyiwei to monitor the hundred officials, thus forming a stable political system.

But it has developed to this day, and for some reason, an unhealthy trend has gradually emerged among the censors, and many people have set their sights on the king.

The reason for this is that since Xuande, the monarch has behaved inappropriately, causing dissatisfaction among the ministers. I am afraid there is another reason, which is to limit the monarch's power.

Zhu Qiyu himself supports the relative balance between imperial power and ministerial power, but in the final analysis, no one wants to be impeached every day, so the fact that these censors were sent out this time can be regarded as a return to the right path.

Judging from the experience of the previous life, when these censors did serious things, they were quite reliable, whether it was because of suppressing the military, or because they wanted to make a difference.

After all, a lot of problems in the border towns have been found out, so at this time, Zhu Qiyu still chose to send them out.

But what he wants to ask today is of course not such a trivial matter.

He turned out a few copies of the memorials from under his hand, and Zhu Qiyu said: "These are the few days that the imperial censors sent out to return the memorials, but there are a few hard-hearted, who have turned out some old and accumulated abuses, but more, It was because of friction with the guards, and there were many koan cases."

"The censor patrols the borders for the purpose of rectifying the defense. If this goes on, I'm afraid it will spark conflicts and backfire."

This is not difficult to understand. The censor patrols the border and cooperates with the defense. To put it bluntly, he is going to pick on the thorns. The guards who live comfortably on the side will not be willing to be manipulated by others.

The censor is the dragon across the river, and the generals are the local snakes. One side wants to maintain stability and the other wants to make a difference. When the two fight against each other, conflicts will naturally arise.

This is not what Zhu Qiyu wants to see.

Chen Xundao: "His Royal Highness Mingjian, the border has been stable in recent years. Except for the Xuanfu and Datong towns that directly face the tile, the rest of the border will be slack and deceive the superior and the inferior. It is a common thing. It is intended to rectify the unhealthy trend, and it is normal to have conflicts."

"In the final analysis, from the view of the minister, it is because the imperial censor, although on behalf of the imperial court, has only the right to hear and report matters, and the generals everywhere have been arrogant for a long time, so how can they be reconciled? The important minister, patrolling everywhere, making arbitrary decisions on the spot."

Zhu Qiyu glanced at Chen Xun, although these words were giving eye drops to the side general, they were indeed the truth.

Today's side generals are indeed very different from those in the early years of the dynasty. It is common to eat empty pay and waste training. What's more, it is not uncommon to misappropriate the army for personal use.

It wasn't all the civil servants who poured dirty water on the generals.

Putting the memorial in his hand on the case, Zhu Qiyu said: "What Mr. said is very true. At the moment of the overall situation, this king is not in the mood to deal with these trivial and trivial matters."

"It's just that the manpower in the imperial court is tight now, and Chen Yi, the censor of the left capital, is in charge of the court affairs, and he needs to supervise the transportation of food. , so this king wants to ask the two gentlemen, if you want to choose a competent minister to be responsible for patrolling the border, can you choose the two gentlemen?"

Logically speaking, the Supervision is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. As the leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this matter also requires Chen Yi to come forward in person, but let alone Chen Yi, there are big bosses with names and surnames in the capital, basically. All of them are exhausted...
