Chapter 340 The world can only be represented by me

Now the people in the Ming Dynasty who held military power for the emperor were not only Qin Liangyu, Chen Ce, and other military generals who served as Privy Council for their military merits, were Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Keli, who also served as civilians in the Ministry of War for their military merits.

After all, Emperor Zhu Youxiao was just one person.

Although he was the supreme commander of the Ming Dynasty, only he could make decisions on all military orders.

But he can't control it.

Naturally, these people will take over the military power of the emperor.

However, the situation of these personnel who acted on his military power was more conducive to the emperor's control than before.

In the past, it was just a civil servant group who acted as an agent for the emperor's military power.

Now there are military generals involved.

Naturally, checks and balances between civil and military power can be achieved, so that the emperor is neither controlled by civil officials nor by military generals.

Moreover, the civil servants acting for the emperor's military power are no longer the entire civil servant group. The censors of the Six Sections and the Censorate no longer dare to interfere. Only civil servants who have served as border ministers and have made military achievements will be summoned by the emperor to discuss military affairs by the Privy Council.

Therefore, in this way, professionalism will also be improved.

If the Beijing camp is rectified, the interests will be damaged by nobles and middle and lower-level civil servants of the Ministry of War.

Because the main officers in the Beijing camp were all nobles, they rely on this to earn a salary and also on this to enslave soldiers.

It can be said that the imperial court sometimes raises the capital camp and is like raising slaves for the nobles.

The middle and lower-level civil servants of the Ministry of War relied on extortion of money on the process of logistics corruption in the Beijing camp and the need for retirement of soldiers in old age and illness to increase extra money.

However, these two types of forces are not in the core circle of imperial power.

Therefore, neither of these two types of forces knew that Yuan Keli and other officials had begun to advise the emperor to touch their cheese.

Zhu Youxiao naturally wanted to rectify the Beijing Camp.

The reason why he has not rectified it is because he has never had a truly reliable army before.

Later, after Zhu Youxiao's new guards were trained, internal turmoil was not stopped due to reforms, and there was no time to rectify them.

But now Yuan Keli proposed to change, so Zhu Youxiao did not refuse.

However, as the emperor, Zhu Youxiao had to think more about things because he knew more than others.

Therefore, after returning to the palace, Zhu Youxiao summoned Yuan Keli alone.

"This is the original words of Xie Sheng, the young minister of Taichang Temple. It is also beneficial to the country and prevent the aristocratic families from appearing. I have been hiding this for you. Why did you say it yourself? Do you think that no one in the world dares to attack you except me if I don't kill you?"

Zhu Youxiao gave Yuan Keli the quotation book of the East Factory with Xie Sheng's quotation.

Yuan Keli took the quotation book with a plain expression.

He was not surprised that the emperor could know the conversation between ministers. He knew that his emperor, like Shimiao, had raised a lot of eyes and ears.

But after Yuan Keli read the content of the quote, his breathing became a little rapid, his eyes were like fire, staring at the quote book, and couldn't help but say, "It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable! This despicable villain! One thing in front of others, one thing behind them!"

"Are you forming a party?"

Zhu Youxiao asked directly.

Yuan Keli was stunned.

"I dare not deceive Your Majesty, yes!"

Now Zhu Youxiao usually sits with ministers to discuss politics, so Yuan Keli has always been sitting, but now he has to stand up with an elephant scepter and bow and reply.

"But I am forming a party for justice, not for selfish interests!"

Yuan Keli added another sentence.

"Is it to be a slander?"

Zhu Youxiao still has a serious face.

"yes!"

Yuan Keli replied.

Then, Yuan Keli said again: "Your Majesty is a wise king. I believe he understands that the father and son of Fang are already powerful now."

"Your dear, don't say anything more!"

Zhu Youxiao interrupted Yuan Keli's words and said, "You think that letting Fang Congzhe fall can solve everything, but it's better to just overthrow me first. The benefits I have taken of the country are the greatest. Besides, people's hearts are unpredictable. You realize that you are forming a party for justice, but you know that others will definitely be righteous? The court is not a battlefield, but it is not clear whether it is an enemy or a friend. For example, Xie Sheng, who is saying that you are crazy, I believe he didn't say that in front of you."

Yuan Keli had to shut up.

"As for the aristocratic families, to be precise, what will appear in the Ming Dynasty in the future will not be the aristocratic families before the Song Dynasty, but the chaebol, but this is an inevitable thing. I will become a chaebol, and you, Yuan Aiqing, will also become a chaebol. I can't stop it, you can't stop it, and you can't stop it, at least for hundreds of years;

The only thing I can do is to try to let wealth flow to the common people without overturning the country. I believe that other chaebols in my beloved will not want the country to overturn. They even have a greater motivation to preserve our Ming Dynasty than the previous gentry, because their wealth cannot be separated from the court and from me;

Unlike the gentry before, although only one gentry is nothing and is not enough to shake the foundation of the court, the gentry loves to form cliques, just like you, Yuan Aiqing, now, once they unite, the harm will be great! In addition, the gentry can ignore the rise and fall of the court. As long as the world changes, they can still be officials. I dare to bet with you that if the Ming Dynasty falls, your Yuan family can still become officials and become famous officials."

Zhu Youxiao said at this time.

After hearing this, Yuan Keli replied: "Your Majesty, if the country really falls, I will die for my family!"

"You can only guarantee that your Yuan family will die for the country, and that you can make all the gentry in the world die for the country? In addition, if your Yuan Aiqing really wants to make the whole family die for the country, have you asked if your clan members are willing? To order their relatives to end their lives for integrity, can you control their lives?"

Zhu Youxiao asked.

"But your Majesty, the benefits of the country can make the people richer, how can you let the chaebols send them to you?"

Yuan Keli asked.

"There is no way. The common people in the world do not have the consciousness to speak for themselves. They are still waiting for good emperors, officials and good people to save them, and even hope for Bodhisattvas and gods. They have never thought of relying on themselves to fight for it. Therefore, if they are given money now, they will not be able to keep it. It is better to give them knowledge and let them read and understand. Only in this way will more and more people among them become one of you and then go against me."

Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly as he said that.

"I dare not!"

Yuan Keli hurriedly replied, meaning that he did not dare to go against the emperor.

"This is not something you dare to dare. Anyone who has read some books is unwilling to be anyone's lackey. If there is, it means that you give too much and don't focus on the people of the world."

Zhu Youxiao said, "I allow you to do the rectification of the Beijing camp, but preventing the emergence of aristocratic families is also beneficial to the country. Now I do not allow it. When you scholars and officials are still only part of the world, the people of the world can only be represented by me, and I must also hold the greatest power. If I want to hold the greatest power, I have to rely on them."

"Yes! I will follow Your Majesty's instructions."

Yuan Keli left the palace with a serious expression.

The emperor's words just now made him fall into deep thought.

Yuan Keli couldn't help but think: "Your Majesty seems to know the common people in the world better than me! But he must have never seen anything like plows and hoes, right? But what Your Majesty said is indeed reasonable. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish, and the same is true for governing the country and ensuring the people."

Next, Yuan Keli really only focused on rectifying the Beijing camp.

The next day, Yuan Keli came to this article and asked the emperor to issue an order to rectify the Beijing camp.

Zhu Youxiao quickly criticized Hong and asked Yuan Keli and Lu Jiude to be responsible for the matter.

And so, the calm capital city suddenly became uneasy like a stone falling into the water.
