All Heavens: Starting from Douluo

Chapter 700 Emperor Chongping wants to reform

"A bunch of idiots."

"Do you really think I can't see their little thoughts?"

"I haven't even figured out what's going on under my butt, so I'm just eating from the bowl and thinking about what's in the pot. Since the time of Taizu, the Jinyiwei has been a sharp knife in the hands of the emperor. When personnel changes are made, the emperor can make decisions in one go. After all, why do you need to go through the procedures in the Sixth Department?"

"You are still saying that virtue is not worthy of your place, and you are an incompetent person."

"Can they wipe out the salt merchants for me?"

A world of red buildings.

Inside the palace.

In Jingren Palace.

Emperor Chongping vented his emotions with a livid face.

The graceful Empress Song was sitting aside.

Only Emperor Chongping could see in his watery eyes.

However, unlike this beautiful lady who dared to persuade Emperor Chongping to calm down, Xia Shouzhong and Dai Quan, two eunuchs who were majestic in the outside world, were as obedient as two cats at this moment, one guarding the door and the other serving at his side. The silence in the Queen's palace could be heard, and everyone knew how dangerous Emperor Chongping was at this moment.

An emperor in a rage, taking life and death, is really capable of saying anything. More than one queen has been deposed throughout the ages, let alone eunuchs whose status is comparable to that of domestic slaves.

So what if it's eunuch Bingbi?

So what if it's the eunuch with the palm print?

When the emperor is angry, he will kill you without a second sentence.

This is why Zhao Gao dared to seize power after the death of the First Emperor, but did not dare to take action while the First Emperor was alive. Even if the First Emperor was old and terminally ill, he could easily kill him.

Therefore, if it doesn't matter, don't even think about trying to persuade an angry emperor.

Maybe the persuasion is not good, and then you get involved.

Queen Song certainly dared to persuade her.

She and Emperor Chongping started from a young age.

Back then, when Emperor Chongping was just an unpopular prince, she married him and helped him take care of the internal and external affairs of the prince's palace. They all said that a son would never be too ugly for his mother, and a dog would never be too poor for the family. It is said that these three thousand harem beauties are proof of Emperor Chongping's nature, because everyone is lustful, then Queen Song is the only destination for Emperor Chongping, a place where Emperor Chongping can be emotional like a normal person and talk about happiness and unhappiness. He complained about things, complained about this, and complained about that. The person who he completely trusted and could reveal his heart was also the head of the three thousand harem.

The relationship between her and Emperor Chongping may not be as indiscriminate as between Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma. After all, Emperor Chongping is still a prince no matter how downcast he is, and her father was also a minister of the Sixth Ministry. It can be described as Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, but It couldn't be more appropriate.

He took a bowl of lotus seed soup from Xia Shouzhong.

Looking at Emperor Chongping with bloodshot eyes.

Her soft and weak tone was full of the urge to bully someone, especially since the queen's appearance was not bad, and she still vaguely exuded the brilliance of motherhood: "Your Majesty, take one less bite."

"I...ok."

Emperor Chongping wanted to refuse.

Mainly because I was so angry that I really lost my appetite.

However, when he saw his first wife in such a difficult position, he couldn't say anything to refuse her. Why would a man who prides himself on being an upright man have to embarrass his wife because of his own troubles? Isn't that stupid?

So I changed my words temporarily.

I took the lotus seed soup.

After taking a sip of the slightly sweet soup, just like a husband and wife in an ordinary family, there are no rules about eating and sleeping, and continued nagging: "Actually, if this is the only thing, it doesn't matter. What's going on? The Supreme Emperor won't interfere. I can calm down this little commotion casually. However, the resumption of party strife is what gives me the biggest headache!"

Party strife!

Queen Song's expression also changed slightly.

Any party struggle is not conducive to the government, because there is no correctness in party struggle. To put it bluntly, party struggle means I will oppose what you insist on, and I will insist on what you oppose. Put aside right and wrong first, and refute the opponent with your own words. Only purpose!

only……

“Without contradictions, how can there be party strife?”

"Where did the conflict come from?"

Queen Song is very courageous.

Also relying on Emperor Chongping's favor.

If these two issues of hers were brought to the forefront, she would be suspected of being involved in politics in the harem, and would inevitably be discussed among outsiders.

However, in this Jingren Palace, everyone is one of their own.

Xia Shouzhong was a servant of Queen Song.

Married into the prince's palace from the Empress of the Song Dynasty.

He has always been with Queen Song.

Dai Quan is an old man next to the Supreme Emperor. When the Supreme Emperor delegated power, he sent him to the side of Emperor Chongping. He is currently a eunuch with a pen. He usually goes to court with Emperor Chongping. His high position and power can be regarded as a degree. The threshold for this regime change has been passed.

In every regime change.

It was often the eunuchs who suffered the worst fate.

<divclass="contentadv"> Just like the father and son, Emperor Chongping and the Supreme Emperor. Although they used to fight each other to the death, once the power was delegated, the Supreme Emperor could eat and drink as he pleased without being affected at all, and no one dared to give him any shame. Look, for the eunuch, if someone with a high position like him cannot successfully change jobs, there is only death waiting for him.

His position is too critical.

And people in key positions like this are not our own people.

Testing loyalty is too much trouble.

Besides, who would believe a slave who had betrayed his master a second time?

How did you betray my father today?

How will you betray me to my son in the future?

Therefore, there is only death.

Therefore, the Supreme Emperor's decision to give Dai Quan a way to survive was not wishful thinking, nor was he self-righteous. Instead, he really found a way for Dai Quan to survive. Even if Dai Quan could not be as prosperous in the second half of his life as he had been in the first half, it would still allow him to live in peace and stability. Until death.

Emperor Chongping was also brave enough to employ people.

Dai Quan was not promoted.

However, not being promoted also means not being demoted.

And if you change jobs, you will not be demoted, but you will be promoted.

What Dai Quan was in charge of before and what he is still in charge of now is that he only handed over the internal power to Xia Shouzhong, which can be regarded as giving it to Empress Song. The prisons were still under his control. Although he was nominally the Supervisor of Ceremonies, the eunuchs and eunuchs in these prisons were all his godsons and godsons, and his words still worked well in these prisons.

This is the capacity of Emperor Chongping to accommodate people.

It was also expressed to the Supreme Emperor.

You see, I have arranged all the rights you entrusted to me. I don’t mean to be harsh on you. You can enjoy your old age in peace. We are in peace with each other. Don’t do any small tricks to support the prince in private. , I won’t do anything to you.

There is an inside story here.

This has always been the case inside and outside the imperial court.

Therefore, don’t blame Emperor Chongping for liking Empress Song. He got a bonus point for having a wife, a bonus point for sharing weal and woe, a bonus point for understanding advancement and retreat, a bonus point for managing the harem, a bonus point for knowing each other’s secrets, and a bonus point for giving birth to three princes including the eldest son. He never let him One point for worrying, one point for easing the relationship with his mother and the Supreme Emperor, and maybe one point for sisterhood, because Queen Song's sister is also in the palace and has been named a concubine. When added together, the distance from the perfect score is only If there is such a difference, how can he not be regarded as his caring person?

After drinking the lotus seed soup, I picked up a handkerchief and wiped my mouth.

Lying on the bed, he suppressed the turmoil in his calm tone: "It's nothing more than touching the interests of some people. The civil servants don't want Ru Hai to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, in charge of the evaluation of officials all over the world, plus Ru Hai's status as the elder of the Pavilion , is indeed a big killer weapon, but if the civil officials criticize it, the nobles will stop doing it. You also know that Ruhai is the son-in-law of the Jia family, and the four princes and eight princes are the emperor's people. As soon as I let go, they were eager to integrate with my base. This turned what was clearly an internal fight among civil servants into a battle between two major forces: the Lord and the Civil Service. The collision, the civil servants had too strong a sense of place, and the Lord's move immediately irritated those people, and even the cabinet was forced to be involved. There is no need to say more about how big the turmoil is, but I can't be too used to these civil servants, the four bastards In the hands of the Duke, Hachigong can say that the four kings really hold the military power in the border areas. The Supreme Emperor has given up on them. If I refuse again, it will easily make people careless. The intensification of this conflict is this time. Make peace."

"So, why does Your Majesty want Ru Hai to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel as well?"

Queen Song blinked her big eyes.

Suddenly he got to the point.

"Because... I want to cultivate a group of capable ministers and generals!"

"You see, the surrounding countries are changing their laws."

"The strong will be strong, the weak will be destroyed."

"I heard that an elite light cavalry with more than a thousand men has been formed in the north. This light cavalry is composed entirely of third-rate masters."

"As you can imagine."

"How powerful it would be if you put it on the battlefield."

"I don't want to be the king who subjugates the country."

"Not to mention that I have the ambition to expand the territory."

"Reform is imminent."

Emperor Chongping said.

Queen Song had already secretly stretched out her hand.

Pressed his lips.

You don’t need to be too clear about some of the words. History books record the process of all reforms. This is different from the internal fighting in the royal family. It is the confrontation between imperial power and prime ministerial power. On the side of Emperor Chongping, regardless of whether it is Lin Ruhai or Lin Chaoci, even a small official , would also be regarded as an enemy by the civilian officials, and Emperor Chongping also had to consider the opinions of the military commanders. It does not mean that the civilian officials were opposed to them. The military commanders were friendly forces. When defeating the civilian officials, they had to weaken the generals' power appropriately. , because the early stage of this reform was to attack the civilian officials, but when the civilian officials were defeated, it was necessary to deal with the various generals. It is impossible that no one among the generals saw this move.

Therefore.

"You talk about party strife to reassure me, right?"

Queen Song smiled and said sourly.

This made Emperor Chongping smile.

This is not a partisan fight.

It is a reform more dangerous than party struggle.

In the history books, Wu Qi ran to the body of the King of Chu after the failure of the reform, but he was not able to survive the arrows of the old nobles. It was almost an extreme political movement that was life-or-death!
