Look at the bodies of those old guys who are a little strong, a little stubborn, and a little arrogant. They are fighting with each other every day. Within a week, they will all be bombed by "nuclear locusts".
Having this thing is equivalent to grabbing a bunch of big and small kings in your hands!
Even if you give me a phone number, I can just throw out the bomb!
If anyone really wants to make trouble with me, then just wait and eat the locusts!
There is no cow dung for now, but there are plenty of locusts!
No matter if it’s fried, steamed, boiled, or locust sashimi!
As long as you dare to open your mouth, I dare to let the eunuch pour it in!
Wei Zhaocheng, the left minister of the Ministry of War, was throwing stones in front to ask for directions. His colleagues who were still grudged against the locusts all felt at ease now. In this world, you have to pinch your nose to recognize it. After all, the whole family will probably not die if they eat locusts. If they all go to jail, they will definitely not survive for a few days...
Some people began to regret why they abstained from voting just now. If they just chose to support the prince, everything would be fine. Now that things are not settled, the whole family has to eat locusts to make amends to the prince. His reputation is still "sharing the world's worries", which makes him feel more resentful than eating flies.
Seeing a group of learned old masters suddenly overturned, Yaoji was proud and issued a second order: "By the way, Lin Aiqing has already eaten the locusts just now, so he was saved. And then there are these nails, although You are under the control of your parents, but your parents did not tell you that you must grow your nails. Dear ladies, you must abide by the rules of the court when you serve the court. Starting from tomorrow, the length of official nails extending from the fingertips shall not exceed half of the length from the base of the finger to the fingertip. Before going to court, the servants will inspect each one one by one, and those who violate the rules will be fined one month's salary!"
I just want to repair you bit by bit. If you are dissatisfied and feel that your family is rich, then just give it a try.
Thanks to the gift of "Zhu Laoliu Stinky Tofu", officials of the Ming Dynasty had extremely low monthly salaries compared to their colleagues in the Qing Dynasty. A senior official in the first rank only received 87 shi per month, from 72 shi in the first rank to 61 shi in the second rank. , when he reached the third rank of minister, his monthly salary dropped to thirty-five taels. Calculated based on three taels of grain per stone, the monthly salary was only one hundred and five taels of silver.
It looks like a lot, but which official doesn't have some servants like masters, servants, and maids? Their monthly salary alone totals dozens of taels per month. If he is not a poor official like Cheng Guoxiang, then They can only live off the donations from the landlords or the tributes from their subordinates. Without a secondary industry, most of the moths are so hungry that their eyes glow green.
Hearing such a decree, everyone was shocked and cursed, but they also thought of Liu Zhifeng, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice who had just been appointed by the prince. This person contradicted the prince because of trimming his nails, which led to the loss of his hat. This is a lesson learned from the past. We must Be warned not to follow in his footsteps.
Zhuang Qinlin, the Minister of Civil Affairs, could not control his anger and decided to take over Liu Zhifeng's unfinished business. He had a verbal dispute with the young prince: "I think this order is unheard of, not to mention ignorant of the general rules, violates etiquette, and tramples on human ethics." , is a big scandal in the world, and has never been promulgated by our dynasty in more than two hundred years. If His Highness persists in going his own way, it will definitely cause an uproar, and he will be criticized verbally and writtenly by scholars all over the world, so it is better to withdraw it here!"
Although the matter of cutting nails is a small matter, you can see the undercurrent surging behind it. It is actually a direct game with the prince. At this time, Zhuang Qinlin believed that he must express his tough stance in order to force the prince to compromise. Otherwise, similar things will happen one after another in the future, and the prince's orders will make the veterans even more passive.
Liu Zunxian, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, had the same views as Zhuang Qinlin, and immediately came out to help: "I agree with what Zhuang Shangshu said, it has been thousands of years since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and there has never been such a despicable government order in all dynasties. It will be difficult for Your Highness to insist on it." How can millions of scholars win the trust of the world? How can they revive our Ming Dynasty if they suddenly lose their hearts?"
There is nothing better than criticizing the prince's clumsy decree from the commanding heights of righteousness. If time allows, Liu Zunxian also plans to contact the supervisors of the Imperial College and the scholars in the capital to submit a letter together and ask the prince to withdraw his decree directly with the signatures of ten thousand people. As long as everyone unites as one and forms a huge momentum and spreads it to the imperial city, there is no fear that the young prince will not agree.
In Yaoji's view, these rotten ministers listed a bunch of reasons, condensed into one sentence - I just won't cut it!
I don’t ask you to cut off all your nails, just cut off the parts that need to be cut. The remaining parts can still scratch people vigorously, show off shamelessly, and not work openly. That's not enough. To have such fierce opposition is like stepping on a cat's tail. It's really something that needs to be dealt with.
After listening to the extremely harsh and taunting noise, Yaoji felt that wearing thick clothes and being sleepy at work in the afternoon was really unbearable. It was far less comfortable than those of his younger brothers and sisters at home who took an afternoon nap.
If it weren't for the objections of these people, they would probably have fallen asleep sitting on the chairs right now. He could only yawn out of boredom and said with drooped eyelids: "Is there any lover who objects to nail cutting? Those who object must consider it. It’s clear, if you stay as an official, you won’t be an official! If you stay as an official, you won’t be an official! If someone can’t accept the new order, then let him become an official!”
This is how the braids dealt with you back then. What was the result?
If you want to challenge me, you have to wait until you have the strength to match it. Otherwise, just run home in tears and cut your nails.
They are all so old and have such long nails, even longer than those of the female anchors, but their appearance is completely ruined. I am frightened and nauseated after seeing them.
These two guys don't have much wealth, so they can be allowed to become officials. If they were replaced by a "fat sheep" like Wei Zhaocheng, they wouldn't be able to enjoy the same treatment.
Not to mention the coveted "mutton", even the "wool" as thin as hair must be kept by me, and not a single strand can float away!
Looking at the petrified faces of a group of courtiers, Yaoji couldn't help but think: The result of being tough on me is to get a super tough counterattack!
If you want to touch an egg with a stone, you must first have a stone in your hand, and you must be 100% sure that the opposite side is an egg, not a dinosaur egg!
Officials other than Ji Fu in this palace may be out of reach because they are too far away. But to deal with the troublemakers in this three-quarter acre of land in the capital, you have everything you can do to control them. There are at least several ways to "feed" you.
Not only can it “feed” you, but it can also “feed” your whole family!
One counts as one, and no one can be missing!
I don’t know since when, the emperor of the Ming Empire actually became a vulnerable group and almost became the mascot of the civil servant group. The first one in the list was the chief minister, followed by the officials, and finally the emperor.
But since yesterday, this situation seems to have been greatly reversed. With the prince supervising the country, the "good old days" of ministers holding hostage and even threatening the emperor are gone forever, but some people are always evil...
Lin Yuji, the Minister of Rites, seemed to think that the locusts were eating more than they could eat, and seemed to think that he had found a way to veto the prince's order: "Your Highness, the imperial decree must be approved by the cabinet before it can take effect. If the cabinet objects, it will be rejected!"
"Zhu Laoliu Stinky Tofu" did something unprecedented after the founding of the dynasty, which was to abolish the position of prime minister and replace it with a cabinet bachelor. This can avoid decentralization, allow Zhongyi to centralize power more thoroughly, and ultimately achieve a sole-container system!
Legally speaking, the cabinet bachelor was only the emperor's personal secretary and was not a formal administrative department of the imperial court. But as time went by, and after many generations of emperors in the Great Rebellion Dynasty, the cabinet gradually evolved into a group with real power as prime minister.
This group has two distinctive characteristics. First, the cabinet is selected by the civil service group, not appointed by the emperor. A cabinet that is not elected has no actual legitimacy. The six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will block it, making it difficult to implement the decree.
Second, the cabinet represents the interests of a large civil servant group rather than the emperor's will. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, after the civil servant group emptied out the imperial power, the emperor became nothing more than a puppet of the civil servant group, and the cabinet became a political machine for the civil servant group to realize its vested interests.
Therefore, after "Zhu Laoliu Stinky Tofu" abolished the prime minister, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had to face the situation of being outnumbered at the court meeting. Without the super personal abilities of Taizu and Chengzu, he would never be able to fight against House of Flying Daggers. to compete with the enemy.
If the emperor in a weak position has no talent but wants to compete with the civil service group, it is not completely impossible. Then he must support a shield that can act as a human shield for him, such as Yan Song or Zhang Juzheng!
These two people are called the Chief Assistants, and they are actually prime ministers. Although their abilities are different, and their actions are different, they are all responsible for the emperor. When the civil service group finally liquidates them, they will be responsible for all bad things, whether they live or die. Carry.
For the emperors of the Great Rebellion Dynasty after Shenzong, Yan Song and Zhang Juzheng set two very bad examples. After Zhang Juzheng, all the chief ministers knew that they would rather offend the emperor than the civil service group, otherwise they would end up in ruins. The house was ransacked and executed.
After nine thousand years of age, the successive chief ministers of the blame-shifting dynasty, such as Wen Tiren, Zhang Zhifa, Liu Yuliang, Zhou Yanru, Chen Yan and others, all understand this simple and easy-to-understand truth. Being the chief minister is to play with the emperor, and you must ensure that you are there Cabinet, the heart is on the other side.
With such an excellent upper-level framework, civil servants had no scruples and dared to confront the emperor even on trivial matters. If the emperor dares to go against the wishes of the civil service group, he is not far away from being scolded for exposing himself...
Lin Yuji dared to bring out the cabinet to endorse himself, in order to completely confirm the position of Xue Guoguan, the chief minister.
In the past few times, Xue Guoguan had sided with the prince, which was tantamount to being an enemy of the officials. If it remains the same this time, it would be no wonder that he was polite before fighting.
