Chapter 26 Analysis
"My lord, in my opinion, the most important thing right now is to send someone he trusts to serve as a eunuch in the Ceremony and Discipline Inspection Department. The open and secret struggles in the court have come to an end for the time being, and the wrestling in the palace has just begun. "

"Ceremony Discipline Inspection Department?" After hearing Li Yuntang's words, the little emperor's eyes became a little hot, and there was an unconcealable eagerness in his expression:

"Do you mean that we can start to arrange now, and use the inner court to check and balance the outer court?"

"Preparation really needs to start now, but this is internal control and external control, but it's not using the inner court to check and balance."

Li Yuntang pulled the emperor to the seat, comforted her to sit by the desk, and continued by himself standing on the side:
"Today is different from the past. The reason why the chief inspector of ceremonies in the former Ming Dynasty can become the inner court, and the palm prints of the chief inspector and the eunuch who holds the pen can become the inner prime minister of "declaring imperial edicts and criticizing books"; The emperor exercised the right to wear red, they are the embodiment of monarchy.

But now, the two seals bestowed by Emperor Daxing are essentially equivalent to the right to 'approve red', and the emperor alone does not have the right to 'approve red'. "

Li Yuntang's voice became softer as he spoke, he was afraid that if this basin of cold water would be poured down, it would first cause the emperor to be unhappy, and second, dampen his enthusiasm.

The little emperor was not unhappy at all, took a pen from the desk, and while dipping some ink from the inkstone, he asked: "Then you said that you want to send someone to the Ceremony Discipline Inspection Department to serve as the eunuch in charge of seals, is it a self-recommendation?" Is it?"

"The emperor will be wrong." Li Yuntang paused after hearing the words, and then denied it.

In fact, at the beginning, he really had the idea of ​​gradually lying down and winning:
First of all, let the little emperor gradually release his intention to maintain the stability of the government and not make major moves; the interests of the courtiers have not been lost, and under the influence of Confucian morality, they will naturally gradually favor the emperor.

When the little emperor is older, as long as he works a little bit, someone will definitely write a letter, asking the two queen mothers to return to the emperor.

Once or twice, the Empress Dowager Yi'an might be able to suppress it, but after ten or eight times, it might not be so.

Besides, the power in the hands of the little emperor is not inferior to that of the empress dowager. With the support of the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty, if the empress dowager does not want to return to power in a dignified manner, there are naturally dishonorable methods.

but……

With the gradual understanding of the situation, he found that if this method of "lying to win" is used, the disadvantages are quite serious.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the issue of time. Most of the empress dowagers in history, except the Empress Dowager Chu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, took the initiative to return to the emperor; most of the rest, after their death, the emperor automatically took over the power.

The Empress Dowager Yi'an is in full bloom, if she wants to listen to the government behind the curtain for 30 to [-] years, the courtiers will object; but if she only stays in that position for ten years, the courtiers will completely accept it.

Putting the initiative of pro-government in the hands of others is too procrastinating and a waste of time.

We must know that time is running out now, and every night the emperor takes power, the implementation of the New Deal and the subsequent industrial revolution will be slower.

If one step is slow, then every step is slow; Li Yuntang can't watch the dominance of the national destiny slip away from his own hands.

Another important issue is the human heart.

The current little emperor is full of energy. First, because his power is limited, he wants to find another way to quickly gain power;

But after more than ten years of intrigue and court battles, whether she can still maintain that original aspiration is still a question.

And the emperor is the biggest beneficiary. What if after she took power, she felt that the innovation was too difficult, she was concerned about gains and losses, and she gave up this idea for the sake of power against her will.

Li Yuntang didn't dare to put the treasure on the emperor's own likes and dislikes.

So now, when the little emperor has the same goal and the same enemy as him; the two sides will work together to build a new team, and cultivate the relationship between the two into dependence; A layer of common interests.

In this way, cooperation can last for a long time!
Li Yuntang can also play a pivotal role in building the emperor's new team, so that he can have a place in the center of power.

Rather than the sudden rise and fall like the eunuchs and eunuchs, it all depends on a word from the emperor who empowers him.

When the little emperor wrote a word, many thoughts had already flashed in Li Yuntang's mind, and after he took a breath, he said calmly:
"My lord, controlling the Ceremony and Discipline Inspection Department is not for the purpose of coercing foreign courts, but for the safety of my lord."

"safety?"

The little emperor was quick-witted, and he had already figured it out as soon as he was prompted.

Previously, the battles in the foreign court were fierce, and neither he nor the queen mother had time to take care of the palace, so the power struggle in the Forbidden City was not yet fierce.

But now that the pattern of the outer court has been determined, the competition for dominance in the palace has become the top priority.

Time is not on the side of the Empress Dowager Yi'an, so in order to prevent her aunt from doing extraordinary things, she must strictly control the inner palace.

Otherwise, if someone is desperate and causes trouble within the palace walls, he will fall short of his success.

After figuring it out, the little emperor immediately made a promise:
"Yuntang, you are the person I trust the most, of course I will appoint you to be the eunuch of the palm print."

"My lord, I think this person must be Jing Yunhai."

"Jing Yunhai?"

The little emperor naturally trusted Jing Yunhai, but she didn't know why Li Yuntang refused, and asked again:
"Then what do you do?"

Li Yuntang leaned down and whispered:
"My lord, in order to implement the new policy in the future, it is necessary to form a new administrative team, so that the government orders can bypass the courtiers and reach the lower levels.

Among them, cultivating cronies, expanding the voice, controlling information, and even earning the huge wealth required by the New Deal all required a bureau, and someone needed to form this bureau for the emperor. "

The little emperor did not object to this, but she saw the key point:
"However, the courtiers have many eyes and ears. It is not easy to do this well under their noses. Do you have a perfect plan?"

Li Yuntang fell into silence. He didn't think about this point, which is also the most critical part of the whole thing.

If you are a little careless and are discovered by the courtiers, your own situation will be extremely passive; it is basically equivalent to completely standing on the opposite side of them.

After thinking for a long time, the little emperor seemed to have made up his mind suddenly, and was about to speak when Jing Yunhai knocked on the door, saying that supper was ready.

Li Yu stood up all of a sudden, lowered his voice and approached Li Yuntang and said:
"Tomorrow I want you to go out of the palace to do something important. After you go, maybe you can find a way to break it."

Then she waved to Li Yuntang again, signaling him to bring the food into the hall.

Li Yuntang bowed to his orders, and asked an irrelevant question abruptly:
"Since the emperor mentioned the promise to the cabinet ministers, he must have reached an agreement with them, so have they re-drawn the posthumous title of the old emperor?"

"It has been drawn up."

After the little emperor answered, he pointed his index finger at the paper he was writing on; Li Yuntang's eyes followed and saw the word "pure".

"Pure Emperor, Han Chundi, it's not a bad posthumous title."

After sighing inwardly, his thoughts diverged, and he thought of another chief who was known as "the perfect old man", and his posthumous title was also pure.

It's just that his person is much more funny, because he was born in "My Great Qing Dynasty", so he is called Qingchun Emperor for short.
