Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Fairness has always been in quotation marks. There is no so-called fairness in Ming Dynasty, and even "relative fairness" is seriously unbalanced.

Get out of the ground floor.

out of touch with reality.

This is Daming's most serious problem at present.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the emperor, was relatively fair by "killing", but as time went by, it was almost destroyed.

When the wealth and resources of the majority are controlled and dominated by the minority, and land is the main output, this inequity will be exacerbated, which in turn will cause a series of problems.

Governing the world with literati and bureaucrats is what most officials pursue. Many people think that if Daming can reach this point, it will definitely become better.

But in fact, if power is not restrained, ideals and reality will be seriously disconnected. Human nature cannot be bound by morality.

There are too many privileged groups in Ming Dynasty.

As far as the underprivileged are concerned, what can they say in the face of the privileged?What dare they say?
Unless he was completely cornered and there was no way out, he would choose to resist, but when he got to that point, Daming would be on the verge of collapse.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to bring order out of chaos, revive and rise, it needed a unified constitution that truly restrained power and advocated fairness.

Check the deficiencies, rectify the administration of officials, unify the department, the central inspection, the governor's responsibility system...

What he did back and forth was actually a set of combined punches played by Emperor Chongzhen. He wanted to use this method to gradually restrain power, put a tight grip on power, and abolish excessive privileges...

This is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time, but requires a long process, through one stage after another, to achieve phased results, digest phased results, and gradually build up.

After all this is done, there will no longer be a class of so-called scholar-bureaucrats, let alone a backward trend of thought that governs the world with scholar-bureaucrats. When this level can really be achieved, Emperor Chongzhen will try to restrain the imperial power and let him The succeeding emperor of Ming Dynasty was also subject to corresponding constraints.

Imperial power is the biggest destroyer of order.

The emperor's power is too heavy, if he does anything and makes decisions regardless of the consequences, once a strategic error occurs, it will lead to the decline of the entire Ming Dynasty.

For example, the Great Ming God of War...

If there is no corresponding restriction on the imperial power, then the relative fairness of the Chongzhen Emperor's conception will not be able to really work. Later, someone with a heart will deceive the new Ming Emperor and try to overthrow this set of ideas.

The essence of the constant struggle between imperial power and ministerial power is a struggle for power and ideas. Through these constant struggles, it is established who has the right to speak in absolute domination of resources.

What Emperor Chongzhen wanted to do was to fix the 'constitution', so that subsequent generations of power holders in the Ming Dynasty could only revise and improve it around this, rather than completely abandoning it, and then turning back the wheel of history.

……

"It's really getting colder these days."

Zhou Yanru stood with his hands behind his back, stood outside the main hall, looked at the falling white snow, and said emotionally: "Currently, the hearts of the people in Shandong, just like the current situation, are getting colder and colder.

Governor Yuan, what do you think about the Yanshenggong Mansion case?

Ever since Benfu left Beijing and rushed to Shandong, all kinds of intriguing things have happened. Before Benfu came to Shandong, I still didn't understand why Governor Yuan would do this.

But thinking about it now, Honsuke thought it was easy.

It seems that only the Yanshenggong Mansion was involved in the case of the Yanshenggong Mansion, but in fact there are many people who are entangled behind it, and it even affects not only the Shandong officialdom. "

Yuan Keli, who was standing aside, looked solemn, glanced at Zhou Yanru, but didn't say anything.

Yuan Keli couldn't understand Zhou Yanru's actions in Shandong.

Yuan Keli is good at governing politics.

Zhou Yanru is good at maneuvering.

The two have never been the same.

If it weren't for the influence of the Yanshenggong Mansion case, the two wouldn't have so many intersections. After all, if they have different ways and don't conspire with each other, they wouldn't be able to get together.

"Benfu knows that Governor Yuan doesn't understand some of Benfu's actions."

Seeing that Yuan Keli remained silent, Zhou Yanru was not annoyed, turned around with a smile, looked at Yuan Keli and said, "As the governor of Shandong, to govern Shandong well, my assistant is indeed no match for you.

But as a cabinet minister, Governor Yuan was no match for Benfu.

We are all ministers of Ming Dynasty, all ministers of His Majesty, what we want to do is actually very simple, which is to share the worries of the emperor and the community.

Maybe the ideas are different, but the purpose is the same.

They all want Daming to get better and better.

But the problem now is that Bensuke just set up a banquet, but there are many people who want to go to the banquet, and all of them are not young, what do you think Bensuke can do? "

"Then according to Elder Zhou Ge's intention, the local vassals who seem to be involved should turn a deaf ear and turn a blind eye?"

Yuan Keli frowned, met Zhou Yanru's gaze, and said, "Compared to the land occupied by the Yanshenggong Mansion, the land occupied by the feudal clans in Shandong is also quite a lot.

And they have contacts in private, there are traces of these, Ben Fu knows..."

"Governor Yuan, since they are all involved in lawsuits, it is considered a lawsuit if they are gathered together, and it is also considered a lawsuit if they are separated?" Seeing Yuan Keli like this, Zhou Yanru kept smiling.

"Benfu came to Shandong here for the trial of the Yan Shenggong Mansion case. As long as the case is successfully judged and resolved, it will be regarded as fulfilling His Majesty's will.

As for other cases, Benfu thinks that the governor's office in Shandong can handle them well, right?
After all, the most difficult case has been solved. Could other cases be so difficult?
Governor Sun Chuanting of Henan, how he dealt with the Zong vassal at the beginning, the matter was not small, did Governor Yuan not hear something about it?
What we have to do now is to reduce the influence and scope, so as not to let more people be affected by a single case and gather together, which will only increase the difficulty. "

Break down one by one?

After listening to what Zhou Yanru said, Yuan Keli's mood was a bit complicated. The reason why the so-called Yanshenggong Mansion case was difficult to handle in the Shandong governor's office was that not only Yanshenggong Mansion was involved, but also other groups were involved. Such as suzerain vassal, such as local officials.

"The decree received by this assistant is to try the Yanshenggong Mansion case well. If other people are involved, it will not be counted as the Yanshenggong Mansion case."

Zhou Yanru lifted the sleeves of his robe, and said earnestly: "Governor Yuan's mood, Benfu can understand, but some things are not as simple as you think, if you want to make a good trial of this case, then you have to obey Benfu." Auxiliary arrangement.

The vassals are managed by the Li Fan Court, and the local officials are managed by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment. What we have to do is to concentrate on trying this Yansheng Gongfu case that involves a wide range of aspects and has a wide range of influence! "
