Appoint me as a spy, but the contact person is actually the empress

Chapter 24 Eunuchs, Loyal Royalists!The Emperor's Blade!
"My lord, there is now a rift between the parties."

"It's all about changing rice to mulberry."

"Taking this opportunity, His Majesty can actually cultivate a force of his own. Of course, this is beneficial to His Majesty, and of course it is also beneficial to us."

"It's just more beneficial to His Majesty, so the subordinates are also struggling, whether it should be mentioned or not."

Xu Shouyun was really confused.

When the emperor's introduction of one matter caused endless disputes among officials, other matters should be brought up to strengthen the imperial power.

It's called a perfect pull, throw out a thing, let you guys fight it out, and I'll take care of my own.

One to two to my blood.

It's just that this matter is indeed beneficial to the emperor. I am an undercover agent of the Chu Dynasty. If it wasn't for the connector who wanted to climb up, and I wanted to climb up too, if he had real power, Xu Shouyun might not have mentioned it.

When she heard that it was beneficial to her, Jiang Ling felt excited. Now she understood that Xu Shouyun's scheming skills were the best in the world.

The opinions put forward by such talents are definitely the best policy.

In particular, it is very important to cultivate a force of your own. I invited my mentor some time ago and mentioned this matter.

A force that belongs to him, but unfortunately, after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a reason, but he didn't expect Xu Shouyun to mention it.

How could she not get excited?
It's just that she has to keep calm on the surface and not be too happy.

"You talk about it first, and I'll decide the rest."

Jiang Ling remained calm and asked the other party to talk about it.

"Returning to my lord, now all the officials will definitely fight to the death because of the matter of changing rice into mulberry."

"At this time, if His Majesty establishes his own party power, it will be regarded as an important chess piece buried."

"At the critical moment, this chess piece will allow His Majesty to control the overall situation. It will be a double-edged sword for the Lord and his subordinates."

Xu Shouyun opened his mouth and let the other party decide.

"Important chess piece? Cultivate your own party power? Are you referring to cultivating humble scholars?"

Jiang Ling asked curiously.

But when he heard about the humble scholars, Xu Shouyun quickly shook his head: "The humble scholars are all white-eyed wolves. If you support such people to the top, they will be assimilated sooner or later."

"It is to support one's own people to be in power."

Xu Shouyun's face was full of contempt. The humble scholar had no power or influence. It seemed that he was indeed the best candidate for the emperor, but in reality?
There are countless powerful families in the Wei Dynasty, and they have been staring at this group of humble scholars for a long time. As long as they are admitted as scholars, they will start giving money and food, and then introduce famous teachers to you.

After you win the exam, you will start to repay the favor.

What?You want to follow the emperor?You don't want to pay back?
Okay, Confucianism, heaven, earth, king, relative, teacher, I am your teacher, how ungrateful are you?Don't make any mistakes if you have the ability.

If you make a mistake, the old man can't beat you to death.

To put it bluntly, under the power of wealth and morality, there is always one thing that can restrain you, unless you are a saint, then there is no way, Mr. Shoufu Bodhisattva has a heart that cannot see blood, drag him out and kill him.

"Then what did you say?"

This time Jiang Ling was curious.

"It's so far away, it's so close."

"grown ups."

Xu Shouyun looked at Jiang Ling seriously, who suddenly seemed speechless.

self boasting?

"Although you have certain talents, you have just entered the palace after all, so it is impossible to use you too much."

Jiang Ling gave an answer, she recognized Xu Shouyun's talent, but she didn't want Xu Shouyun to climb up so quickly, at least she had to give herself a plan for a while.

It also prevented Xu Shouyun from being targeted.

"My lord, you have misunderstood. No matter how much this subordinate wants to be in charge, it is absolutely impossible for him to be so stupid. What this subordinate means is eunuch."

"Isn't this group of eunuchs in the palace just a sharp knife?"

Xu Shouyun quickly explained.

To be honest, even if he was allowed to take power now, Xu Shouyun would not do such a thing, because he had no power or influence.

Maybe he was killed by someone, not so stupid.

"Eunuch?"

At this moment, Jiang Ling was silent. She had thought about many candidates, but she had never considered eunuchs. These eunuchs were like slaves of rich families.

What are they for?

"My lord, these eunuchs are the swords of the emperor."

"What time will I say, listen to it, if you think it's not good, just interrupt."

Xu Shouyun sorted out his thoughts, and then explained.

"First, eunuchs are not complete people. They have no offspring, and they have been in the palace all year round. Some of them have parents, but their relationship has faded. In addition, most of them were sold into the palace, and they feel somewhat resentful. .”

"So they don't have any relatives, and they won't be bound by some morality."

"Secondly, these eunuchs are the emperor's servants, the emperor's servants, and their status depends entirely on the emperor."

"In other words, if the Empress of the Wei Dynasty dismissed a minister, let alone a minister, a servant may be opposed by the officials, because they are a group."

"But eunuchs are different. If an eunuch is dismissed, even if he is the head of the palace, who cares? Even other eunuchs will applaud and take advantage of this."

"So if these eunuchs gain power, they must know who their power is and who it comes from, so they will be loyal to the emperor."

"Thirdly, eunuchs practice martial arts. There are [-] eunuchs in the Wei court. Isn't this equivalent to [-] elite imperial troops?"

"It is ten thousand times better than eight thousand generals to let this force supervise and review some corrupt officials, or inquire about intelligence."

"Fourth, when this force is formed, people will naturally try to curry favor with these eunuchs, and it will grow bigger and bigger like a snowball rolling down. At that time, this force will be unstoppable."

"And the eunuch's power comes from the emperor, so whether it's a fake loyalty or a sincere loyalty."

"For the emperor, he doesn't care at all, as long as it can be used, commanding a group of eunuchs is equivalent to commanding the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty."

"It's a different kind of centralization."

Xu Shouyun made a sound and praised the eunuch for being extremely good.

In fact, this is indeed true.

Why did the Ming Dynasty reuse eunuchs?Although the Qing Dynasty strictly prohibited eunuchs from intervening in politics, they still used eunuchs. Why?
Because the eunuchs are indeed psychologically abnormal because of their physical defects, they are extremely vindictive, they are not very close to anyone, and they are all profit-seeking people.

But because they have no descendants, there is no such thing as rebellion. As long as they are given power, they are loyal dogs.

Know who is the master and know whom to help.

As for the negative problems brought about by eunuchs, to put it bluntly, is it better than power ministers doing politics?
To put it bluntly, looking at ancient and modern times, no matter how awesome the eunuch is, Wei Zhongxian is said to be nine thousand years old. Once Chongzhen ascended the throne, life and death are just a matter of one word?
It's just that what Xu Shouyun is worried about is that the eunuchs are certainly hated, but the eunuchs know how to protect the country and are loyal royalists.

It is ten thousand times better than those ministers. After all, ministers have to consider future generations, and the eunuchs only need to live their own lives well.

Therefore, the opinions I put forward will not become my hindrance in the future.

This was what Xu Shouyun was worried about.

But it doesn't matter, I am talking to the connector, and everyone is a traitor, so I don't worry about saying something wrong.

But what Xu Shouyun didn't know was.

At this moment, Jiang Ling's heart was completely boiling.

What Xu Shouyun said.

It's really enlightening!
