Zhu Yuanzhang sat at the side and gritted his teeth as he stared at Qin Zhan and asked,
"Then, how did those Tartars change?”
At this point.
Qin Zhan couldn't help but give a mysterious smile, and then said softly,
"After the Qing army entered the pass, didn't they abolish the director of ceremonies?”
"But those Jurchen are so lazy! Could he stand fighting against the cabinet every day?”
"Then, they set up something called the Military and Political Affairs Office. This thing is much more brilliant than the old Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty.”
"This place is not made up of eunuchs, but of ordinary ministers.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but snort coldly and interrupt.
"How is this better than Ming? Eunuchs will not rebel. Their lives are given by the Tian family.”
After all, it was his family's system. Zhu Yuanzhang instinctively wanted to protect it.
However, Qin Zhan laughed at the side and said,
"Who says eunuchs won't rebel?"
"Not long after the Ming Dynasty's ceremonial director took power, didn't Cao Jixiang rebel in the capital?”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Qin Zhan with his mouth agape.
"What? The eunuchs rebelled? Rebellion against the Zhu family?"
"That's right. Cao Jixiang adopted a godson. Cao Jixiang didn't have the intention to rebel, but his godson wanted to!”
"Then, his godson asked the people around him if there was anyone in history who became an emperor after a eunuch.”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked doubtfully,
"In history, there was a eunuch who became an emperor?”
Qin Zhan smiled and said,
"Why not? Isn't Cao Cao?"
Zhu Yuanzhang almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"And then he rebelled?"
"Yes, but that's not important. His rebellion didn't succeed anyway.”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression gradually eased. After Qin Zhan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang had already thought of deposing him.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had calmed down, couldn't help but think of today's theme. He looked at Qin Zhan and asked,
"Alright, Mr. Qin, why don't you tell me how those Tartars got that Military and Political Affairs Office?”
Qin Zhan nodded at the side and raised his wine glass.
"Actually, it's nothing. They just made the Military and Political Affairs Office an illegal organization.”
"Illegally? Wait a minute, weren't they established by the emperor?”
Qin Zhan nodded slightly.
"Yes, the Son of Heaven can let them hold power, but he can also let them hold power in an illegal state.”
"This way, their only protection is Tian Zi.”
"And their emperor didn't even give them a rank. He only gave them an unranked position as a Military and Political Affairs Office worker.”
"But this position that can't even be considered a Rank-9 holds the power of the world!”
"Thus, the Military and Political Affairs Office has completely become a vassal of the imperial power.”
"Therefore, although they are not eunuchs, the functions they perform are almost the same as that of the ceremonial director. Thus, they form a check and balance on the cabinet, or rather, on the entire civil servant group.”
The cabinet was essentially a buffer zone between the Emperor and the civil officials.
In essence, the ceremonial supervisor did not check and balance the cabinet, but the growing civil officials in the court.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.
"At that time, even if they lose control, the emperor can make the entire civil officials gang up on them with just a word, and the emperor can push his fault to the military officials?”
Qin Zhan nodded slightly.
"Isn't He Shen like this? The silver he had embezzled was tacitly approved by the previous emperor. The emperor had just passed away, and he had a little thought of protecting himself. With a word from the new emperor, the entire civil service group had gathered to participate.”
"The Minister of Military Affairs, who had been in the limelight for a while, became a prisoner in less than three days.”
"This He Shen even became a gift bag for the new emperor, and all the money he embezzled was taken back.”
Did Heshen not have the ability?
Of course he had the ability. Otherwise, who would have the money to clean up Qianlong's mess? Moreover, he was absolutely loyal, but because he was a military minister.
Therefore, everything he did was legally illegal.
When He Shen was executed, corruption was actually the most inconspicuous crime. A few of the crimes, such as the official memorials, were not clearly written, and He Shen directly tore them up.
When he was sorting out the memorials in the Military and Political Affairs Office, he casually placed the memorials of the White Lotus Society uprising below. When he was in control of the Military and Political Affairs Office, he had all kinds of power and was unable to list them.
The key was that the Military and Political Affairs Office did this.
The memorial to the White Lotus Society's uprising was placed below.
There had to be a memorial at the bottom, right?
Why was the uprising of the White Lotus Society more important?
They had already been sent to the Military and Political Affairs Office. How could there be any unimportant matter?!
Qin Zhan had just finished speaking.
Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but fall silent.
After a long time.
Zhu Yuanzhang said leisurely,
"In the end, Big Ming still lost because he was too shameless.”
Compared to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty was still more shameless!
