Zhang Jia also cooperated and said: "Besides, the imperial court holds a major exam every three years. There are so many Jinshi candidates waiting to be appointed. Instead of using some people who are suspected, it is better to choose new ones!"
Liu Haojia said: "So as long as your Majesty is good at winning over these people and slowly promotes these people in the future, they will become Long Live Lord's assistants in the court!"
But Liu Haojia said in his heart at this time: "These helpers also need someone to lead them, and it can only be me!"
Emperor Wanli took a deep breath when he heard this and said: "Liu Aiqing, Zhang Jia, you are indeed my loyal ministers! Especially Liu Aiqing, who considers everything for me, is a model for all officials! Don't worry, as long as you are loyal, I, I will never let you down!"
The reason why Emperor Wanli said these words so seriously was because he had no one under his command! The "no one under his command" mentioned here refers to the people who are truly loyal to him! Although there are many officials in the imperial court, there are almost no people who really listen to Emperor Wanli!
Counting from the inner court, so many eunuchs and maids were either from Empress Dowager Li or Feng Bao! Except for Zhang Jia and several of his godsons and godsons, Emperor Wanli had no confidants at all!
As for the nobles from the outer dynasty who were ennobled by the imperial court and retired with the country, they should be the most loyal to the royal family! It's a pity that because of their relationship with the country, as long as they don't make a big mistake, they will not be deprived of their titles and can be rich forever, so they are completely in a state of unity and neutrality! If it's beneficial, he'll strike. If it's not beneficial, he'll retreat. He also didn't react too much to Emperor Wanli's greeting!
This is especially true among the large group of civil servants! First of all, these officials first belonged to various factions of several cabinet elders, and then they belonged to the entire class of civil servants! Civil servants and imperial power are fundamentally opposed. Because the original purpose of the establishment of the civil service class was to restrict imperial power!
In the minds of these civil servants, the best emperor is to hide in the palace all day long and give birth to sons, and leave other matters to the civil servants to handle, so that the world can be peaceful!
This resulted in Emperor Wanli having no obedient manpower in the court, so the current situation made Emperor Wanli feel very embarrassed! He is like a giant who has cut off his limbs. He can think well no matter what he wants to do, but he can't do it! Because no one listens to him!
But it happened that his father died early, leaving no manpower for him! When he succeeded to the throne, he was too young and was unable to train his own people. As a result, there was no available manpower in the court, so he had a very urgent desire to train his own team!
Now that he heard that Liu Haojia had helped him find people he could use in the future, Emperor Wanli was really excited! In his opinion, although these dozens of scholars have just entered the officialdom and have low status, they can be cultivated slowly! And if there is a first batch, there will definitely be a second batch. In the future, the court will always have its own confidants!
Emperor Wanli's idea ran through the entirety of real history, but later he gave up completely when he saw that there was no hope of realizing it!
Emperor Wanli was actually a very patient person. When Zhang Juzheng, Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao were in charge of the government, he could remain silent. And when Zhang Juzheng died and he really took control of the government, he immediately took out his anger on Zhang Juzheng's family!
He also hoped that by intimidating the ministers through this method, some civil servants would be divided. Unfortunately, he made a huge mistake this time, that is, he forgot that Zhang Juzheng was not only his courtier but also his teacher! He dealt such a heavy hand to the teacher, which made the civil servants have a bad impression of him, so no one came to seek refuge with him at all!
Later, he came up with another idea, which was to create a prince's dispute just like Jiajing's servant dispute, hoping to divide the ministers, but he still failed!
At that time, Emperor Jiajing used the dispute over servant etiquette to divide his ministers, win over a group of people in the court, and then truly grasp the power without being ignored by the civil servants! After he trained Yan Song, his control over the government reached its ultimate level! Even if he was cultivating immortality in the deep palace, he could not firmly control the direction of the entire court with the help of Yan Song!
Emperor Wanli followed this method and proposed to abolish the prince and establish King Fu, hoping to use the establishment of the prince to divide the courtiers. But the courtiers all learned the lesson after going through the dispute over servant etiquette, so they just hugged each other.
The eldest son of Emperor Chi succeeded to the throne, leaving Wanli with no solution, and ended up hiding in the palace for decades!
Perhaps many people have said how Emperor Wanli doted on King Fu and wanted to pass down the throne to him. But in fact, it can be seen from historical records that apart from giving more favoritism and more rewards to King Fu, Emperor Wanli basically just shouted in vain and did not take any substantive actions in promoting King Fu to become the prince.
So from this point of view, Emperor Wanli was still very clear-headed. He just wanted to divide the courtiers, not the court. This is why he gave King Fu so many rewards, probably as compensation for using his son as a sword.
Therefore, Emperor Wanli, who was in urgent need of manpower, was very moved when he thought that Liu Haojia was working for him, earning money, training the army, winning battles to gain face for himself, and more importantly, helping him to win over his courtiers and build strength!
He felt that such a hidden place must be reused! So he thought about it for a long time and said: "Now that the matter of the salt field is about to be handed over to Ai Qing, Ai Qing should return to the capital! The commanding officer of Fusi in Jinyiweinan Town has been vacant. You go and take this position!" "
Jinyiwei is divided into two towns: the north and the south. The north town is responsible for spying on the world, monitoring hundreds of officials, and arresting and intervening. The Jin Yiwei who dare to do bad things in the movie are all from Beizhen Fusi! Nanzhen Fusi is responsible for internal investigations, law enforcement and other matters.
Under normal circumstances, Wanli Emperor Xu's position should never be vacant. But this position has been vacant for three or four years! The reason is that Liu Shouyou was obstructing it!
After Liu Shouyou took refuge with Zhang Juzheng, his power became boundless, so he didn't want anyone to decentralize power at all! What's more, he is the commander of the Nanzhen Prefecture, an official with the power to suppress the internal investigation, and he doesn't want to fall into the hands of others.
Therefore, after the original commander was transferred, he has been trying every means to delay others from taking up their posts. However, because of the power of Liu Shouyou or Zhang Juzheng, those who covet this position have no one to intervene, so it has been vacant until now. Emperor Wanli wanted to reward Liu Hao for his hard work, so he decided to give him this position!
