I'm a big dick

Chapter 626
Zhenfusi and Dongchang are the two major killers in the hands of the emperor.

Of course, mentions in history books are often negative evaluations.

Because civil servants and eunuchs are like natural enemies, eunuchs and eunuchs are eunuchs at every turn, as if eunuchs have power means the emperor is fatuous, and eunuchs have power to defecate and the government is chaotic.

However, there are very few cases of eunuchs disordering government in history. On the contrary, it is common for officials to fight against each other and harm the country.

Moreover, the emperor reused eunuchs, on the one hand, because of trust; on the other hand, they were well-informed and not deceived;

Zhu Youxiao also used eunuchs and town governors, and there were three reasons for this.However, with the change of the court situation, the focus is also constantly changing.

At the beginning, the emperor was extremely disappointed with the officials of the court, and used Zhenfusi and Dongchang to severely punish a group of corrupt officials and people who were fighting against the country.

Even so, the imperial prison in Dongchang was also transferred to the Zhenfu Division, and the arrest and interrogation were also separated into two places.

When the imperial court changed and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was replaced by iron-faced officials trusted by the emperor, the main functions of the Zhenfu Division turned to external intelligence reconnaissance and collection, and Dongchang was responsible for internal surveillance.

Now, the cabinet and the six ministries are basically competent officials trusted by the emperor. The power of Dongchang has been further reduced, and the power of arrest has also been restricted.

All in all, the nature of Zhenfusi and Dongchang is more and more like the eyes and ears of the emperor, ensuring that news from all sides is reflected quickly and accurately.

Judicial power basically belongs to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and other relevant judicial departments.

In this regard, officials are in favor and support.As for the emperor, he took a step towards the rule of law, which was also his goal.

However, if the Zhenfusi and Dongchang were to be abolished, the emperor would definitely disagree.Mutual supervision requires multiple departments and cannot be dominated by one family.

Now the court is clear and the officials are working hard.But after a long time, it is not guaranteed to make old mistakes again, which makes Daming go back to the old road.

With the existence of Zhenfusi and Dongchang, the emperor always holds a knife in his hand, which can deter the collective civil servants.

Old Wei didn't care about the contraction of Dongchang's power, and he breathed a sigh of relief.He is a high-ranking and powerful eunuch, and there are several good endings in history.

The emperor's trust is still there, and this is the most important thing.As an eunuch, being able to live in peace for the elderly and have a good death is already a great grace of the emperor.

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

Although he didn't know this, it didn't prevent him from making judgments about his life.

The more the emperor reuses you and gives you more power, the more likely you will be pushed out to be beheaded as a scapegoat in the future.Throughout the dynasties, it is not uncommon.

Yes, the emperor mentioned Fang Zhenghua, obviously he meant to value it.I am already old, how many more years can I work?Say a few more kind words in the future, and it will be considered a good relationship.

Old Wei thought in his heart, listening respectfully to the emperor's orders, it was nothing more than a time of catastrophe, and we must beware of the villains spreading rumors to stir up trouble, creating chaos, and corruption of local officials.

"Several vassal kings have reached the age of going out of Beijing to become a vassal." The emperor suddenly changed the topic, and what he said made Lao Wei immediately refreshed, his ears perked up, for fear of missing a word.

In recent years, the emperor's suppression of the suzerain vassals is obvious to all. The vassal kings such as Xin Wang and Gui Wang also stayed in Beijing, and they did not intend to let go of the vassal at all.

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

As for the monitoring of the feudal lords, it was indeed within the scope of Dongchang's functions. Old Wei listened carefully, thinking about who would be more reliable and could be sent to monitor the vassal kings.

The emperor caressed his forehead, obviously worried.It is a big expense to go out of Beijing to become a fan, but it is annoying to stay in the capital and wait for death.

Let them study religion, and then arrange errands for them.But it seems that they are not that material.

Anyway, they are all surnamed Zhu, including the emperor's uncles, so they can't really be killed as "pigs".

The catastrophe lasted so long, especially in the north, how much food would be wasted if these dung-making machines were left in the capital?They were all shipped from overseas and from the south, thousands of miles away.

When the catastrophe was approaching, the emperor once imagined the worst situation, and even moved the capital to Nanjing, and took his wives, children, officials and family members to the south for dinner.

This is not a wild idea. In history, the emperor took his officials out of Beijing to eat, which happened in both the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Since there is a precedent, the emperor feels that it is not ashamed.Of course, after a year of fighting the disaster, the emperor's confidence has increased greatly, and this idea has been thrown out of the sky.

There is no need to relocate, but the people in the capital need to be diluted and diverted, just like the people in the disaster-stricken areas in the north want to emigrate, to reduce food consumption and reduce the burden on the court.

Like those vassal kings and nobles, they are all idlers, so it's better to get out of here!

There is a lot of food in the south, and it is less affected by the disaster. Wouldn't it be good to go there to eat?A little further south, like Mekong Province, is also a good place!
The emperor spoke slowly, Lao Wei lowered his head, his eyes rolled straight, he really didn't expect that the emperor asked him to be a vassal, it looked like this!
"I have ordered Dong Yingju to build a mansion, and King Rui, King Hui, and King Gui will take over one after another." The emperor leaned back on the imperial chair, breathed out a long breath, and said, "The ancestral system cannot be violated, and I don't want to recite it." He has a reputation for being cruel to the clan and being ruthless."

"The emperor is kind, this is a wise move." Old Wei bowed and said: "The servants will choose the manpower now, and they will go to Mekong Province in a few days."

The emperor nodded with a smile, waved away old Wei.

Those who sit and eat and wait to die are mostly trash.Whether it is the raising of "pigs" in the Ming Dynasty or the hard-core crops in the Qing Dynasty, in the end they are all parasites that are incompetent.

Therefore, the emperor did not have a good impression of the suzerain.The opportunity is also given, is it difficult to go to Zongxue to learn a skill?If you want to be an official, exchange your official position for a title, isn't it good?

Take out your savings, join the fund, and earn more than your salary. Why are you so stingy?The family is saving money, but you still have to reach out to the court, how shameless?
The emperor was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

The raid system has not yet been formally implemented, and the emperor didn't want to make too many moves during the catastrophe, which would hinder stability.

But if we wait every day, the court and the country will be lost.Disaster relief has already cost a lot, but these guys turn a blind eye.

This is forcing me to do it!

"Call the cabinet Yuan Keli, Sun Chengzong, and Minister of the Ministry of War Xiong Tingbi to Beijing to have an audience." The emperor walked around the palace twice, and having made up his mind, he ordered the palace servants to summon them.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and the barrel of the gun is now in my hands, who dares to mess around?

The emperor had the confidence to subdue the vassals and dignitaries, but he was still cautious, and discussed with Sun Shi and Yuan Shi, and asked Xiong Tingbi to arrange the garrisons in various places in advance.

Who dares to rebel, take it immediately, the emperor is worried that he can't find an excuse!
