Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 55 Do you want to rebel?
The existing maladministration and malignant tumors in Ming Dynasty have institutional flaws and policy deficiencies, but the main reason is caused by people!
As a unified feudal monarchy, it is impossible to avoid a core problem, that is, a series of chain phenomena caused by the solidification of classes under the rule of the dynasty.

Once power loses supervision, restriction, deterrence, etc., it will inevitably lead to corruption and internal friction. The collusion and connection between various groups will gradually destroy the root of the rule, until many powder kegs are completely ignited, and a chaotic world will be reshuffled immediately. begin.

"The internal and external wars will become one of the main themes of Ming Dynasty for a long time to come. This is a reality that no one can avoid."

Inside the Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao stared at the pile of memorials in front of him, "Severe land annexation, frequent natural disasters, sharp class conflicts, serious official corruption, huge bankrupt groups, and large gap between rich and poor, all of these are It is an objective fact of Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to effectively solve these problems without a few years or even longer.

Under this current situation, forces such as the Jianlu from Liaodong, the chieftains from the southwest, the Mongolian Tatars from the grassland, the inland rebellion, and the White Lotus from Shandong will all alternately pose threats to the Ming Dynasty.

How to balance these delicate relationships depends on the restructuring of the Ming army.

The gathering and training of the new army is the key, but the listed armaments, tactical innovations, army promotions, food and salary adjustments, etc. must all be followed up.

If there is a problem in any link, it will not be able to promote the restructuring of the Ming army, especially at the level of armaments. It is impossible to move from the thinking of the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons. The Ming army wants to maintain its active advantage in warfare. It is undoubtedly the existence of idiotic dreams. . "

Zhu Youxiao was lonely, since he ascended the throne and became the emperor of Ming Dynasty, he was doomed to be alone.

The problem is right in front of us.

The hidden danger is right in front of you.

But if you want to solve the problems and hidden dangers so that Ming Dynasty can move forward without burdens, you must face the vested interest groups. They are not decorations. They have the capital to resist. Once a certain delicate balance is broken, Zhu Youxiao will wait for his general. It is a worse environment and situation.

"Your Majesty, something happened at Meridian Gate!"

Wang Tiqian hurried into the East Nuan Pavilion, his brows showing panic, he walked to the front of the imperial court, and bowed to Zhu Youxiao to salute.

"What a system!"

Zhu Youxiao's sword eyebrows were upside down, and his stern eyes were fixed on Wang Tiqian, "You are an eunuch in charge of ceremonies, don't you even have such a certainty?"

"The slave is guilty."

Wang Tigan's heart tightened, and he knelt on the ground pleading guilty.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"To the emperor."

Enduring his fear, Wang Tiqian kowtowed and said: "Zuodu censor Zhang Wenda, courtier Zhang Po, together with some censors from Kedao gathered at the Meridian Gate to remonstrate, please..."

Zhu Youxiao's eyes turned cold.

Petition to die.

It seems that he had been living deep in the inner court and acted arbitrarily when things happened, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

"Is the cabinet aware of this?"

Zhu Youxiao's stern eyes looked at Wang Tigan Road.

"I don't know."

Wang Ti hurriedly said: "However, regarding the memorials issued by the Supervisor of Rituals, the cabinet had a lot of quarrels. The first assistant Fang Congzhe has a clear attitude, but the second assistant..."

"enough."

Zhu Youxiao interrupted, "Summon Wei Shitai and order him to gather the honored guards and set them up at the Meridian Gate. I want to see what they want to do."

"The slaves obey the order."

With the punching of some combination punches, the influence and ripples produced gradually fed back to the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power.

Zhu Youxiao knows better than anyone else that once he makes concessions or retreats, all the past efforts will be useless.

Power struggles at the political level are often accompanied by deep and complex connections. A seemingly small decision may cause a big disturbance.

Zhu Youxiao's decree caused the Forbidden City to move. The Xunwei who were practicing at the training ground in Xiyuan rushed over to the Meridian Gate in an emergency.

A depressing atmosphere began to envelope the Forbidden City.

"Show the Meridian Gate!"

Accompanied by Wang Tiqian's voice, Zhu Youxiao swayed slightly on the dragon, and the eunuchs, eunuchs, and generals of the Han Dynasty accompanied by the imperial court walked forward slowly one by one with serious expressions.

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushion, with no expression of joy or sorrow, and Zhu Youxiao didn't care about the salutes that sounded from time to time. He passed through Qianqing Gate, looked at the ruined site of the three main halls, passed through Huangji Gate, and saw the majestic Meridian Gate tower. In front of my eyes, the guards on duty were waiting in full force, and the Meridian Gate had already been sealed off under martial law.

"Your Majesty! The misfortune of the factory guards is vivid in your mind. You should not trust the factory guards, and deal with the government according to the rules."

"Your Majesty! At a time when the country is in turmoil, Your Majesty should set an example for the Emperor and prosper the country through self-denial and diligence!"

"Your Majesty! The minister remonstrates to impeach Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch..."

The censors who gathered outside the Meridian Gate knelt on the ground one by one, admonishing and accusing them with both words and deeds. The leader was Zhang Wenda, the censor of Zuodu.

The momentum is so great that it is staggering.

On the Meridian Gate tower.

"It really opened my eyes."

Zhu Youxiao, who climbed up the tower, was neither red nor out of breath, standing behind the parapet, overlooking the crowd gathered in front, with a half-smile and said: "I don't know, I thought I had committed such an outrageous thing. Many officials and censors gathered at the Meridian Gate to remonstrate to death."

Wang Tiqian and Wei Shitai, who were accompanying them, lowered their heads and stood aside respectfully, not daring to answer the question at all. The remonstrance at Meridian Gate is too big for them to get involved.

"Zhang Zhiji, where is Li Guozhen!"

"The minister...is here."

Among the honored guards who accompanied the driver to the morning gate, Zhang Zhiji and Li Guozhen, who were called by name, endured the surprise in their hearts, and ran towards Yuqian quickly under the watchful eyes of many honored disciples.

"You two go down immediately, pass on my oral instructions in front of Zhang Wenda and Zhang Po, and ask them if you want to rebel?" Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and patted the female wall, with his back to Zhang Zhiji and Zhang Zhiji. Li Guozhen said.

One word stirred up a thousand waves.

Zhang Zhiji and Li Guozhen looked at each other in surprise and looked at each other in disbelief. Wang Tiqian and Wei Shitai stood in astonishment. Everyone thought they heard the wrong words.

"how?"

Zhu Youxiao turned around slowly, looked at Zhang Zhiji and the two, and said indifferently: "Do you want to follow what I said?"

"I dare not wait!"

Zhang Zhiji and Li Guozhen immediately bowed to each other and said: "Your Majesty's will, the Xunwei must obey it!"

"Go."

The corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth turned up slightly, and he waved his hands.

Shouting too many slogans can form an instinctive reaction. As Zhu Youxiao's valued guard, some disguised political brainwashing is very necessary.

Aren't there some among the nobles in Beijing who have private friendships with the civil servants? Well, let's call the nobles' descendants to crush this friendship on special occasions.

Zhu Youxiao's deep eyes looked down at the team of deadly protesters in front of him, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and some people's official hats should be taken off by him.
