If the commander of the Jinyiwei has a close relationship with the emperor and is deeply trusted, then the influence of the Jinyiwei will be greater! For example, when Lu Bing was in charge of Jinyiwei, he could be said to have overwhelming power!
If the cooperation between the commander of the Jinyiwei and the emperor was not good, for example, when Liu Shou was in charge of the Jinyiwei, this yamen was completely useless! .Ь.
But Xungui is different! Because the nobles themselves are a class of the Ming Dynasty, their influence involves all aspects of the Ming Dynasty! Just like at the founding of the People's Republic of China, the noble class completely suppressed the civil servant class!
If it hadn't been for the Tumubao Incident that destroyed the essence of the entire noble class and caused their power to decline greatly, the entire Ming Dynasty might still be in the stage of civil and military rule! Therefore, the civilian officials have always regarded suppressing the noble military attache as a long-term matter. The purpose is to prevent the noble military attaché from intervening in power!
But now Liu Haojia has mastered the Jinyiwei, and he himself is of noble origin! If he is allowed to grow up smoothly and use the power of Jin Yiwei to support the nobles, it will be difficult for civil servants to contain him! Therefore, it is imperative to suppress Liu Haojia and Jin Yiwei! If possible, it is not impossible to eliminate him physically, it is just difficult!
Everyone felt relieved after hearing Zhang Juzheng's words. It seems that the chief assistant can still make a decision that is in everyone's interest! So Zhang Siwei put aside his petty thoughts and nodded and said: "What the chief assistant said makes sense, but how should we proceed?"
Zhang Juzheng said slowly: "The purpose of the Jin Yiwei is to check and balance the officials of the world, but conversely, the officials of the world may not be able to check and balance the Jin Yiwei! So what we have to do now is to find faults with the Jin Yiwei!"
Shen Shixing twirled his beard and said: "What the chief minister means is that he will continue to find faults with them as before, and finally make the emperor and the people of the world dislike them? Is this just of great use? After all, Wu Ninghou I have a very close relationship with His Majesty!"
Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "It must be of great use! Everyone knows the principle of three men becoming a tiger! So you have to tell the people below that the Jinyiwei will be locked up from today on! Even if the Jinyiwei captain vomits on the street I have to write a memorandum of impeachment without spitting! And our task is to ensure that these memoranda can be seen by His Majesty, and this must not be missed!".Ь.
Zhang Siwei said: "It can be done, but it will take a long time! Are you afraid that Liu Haojia will come up with something new?"
Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly and said: "No matter what the wind comes from, I will remain firm! As long as we follow the plan, we will definitely achieve results! And this method has also been used by our predecessors, and it is very effective! The most important thing is The point is, this is a fundamental solution! When everyone in the world is disgusted with Jinyiwei, even if Wu Ninghou has great ability, he will not be able to overturn the situation!"
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this. However, Zhang Juzheng then said with a serious look: "But there is one more thing to note, that is, what is written in the memorial must be meaningful. You can't just rely on speculation like before, otherwise it will be counterproductive!"
Zhang Siwei said: "That's right! Sometimes you talk too much and no one believes it anymore! How about this, go over the past and get some real facts for Jinyiwei! After all, the dirty things they have done are not few!"
Everyone nodded in agreement and thought it was a solution! But Zhang Juzheng said seriously: "This must never be done!"
Zhang Siwei said in surprise: "Why is that? Doesn't it mean that it is enough to have real evidence?"
Zhang Juzheng glanced at him impatiently and said, "There is more evidence that Jin Yiwei has control over hundreds of officials!"
Everyone suddenly realized when they heard this, even Zhang Jun and Zhang Siwei blushed with embarrassment! Because they all forgot one thing. The Jinyiwei specializes in monitoring all officials in the world. How could there be less evidence of the officials’ crimes in their hands! Even if Liu Shouyou defected to Zhang Juzheng, the people working below him would do things according to the rules, and at most they would file what they found.
If the civil servants start to dig up Jin Yiwei's old accounts, Jin Yiwei can naturally dig out the old accounts of the officials! In this situation of mutual attrition, is there any need to say who Emperor Wanli will prefer? Before Jin Yiwei is finished, all the officials in the world will be dead!
Realizing his mistake, Zhang Siwei said with a smile: "I am anxious for a moment! I am anxious for a moment! Don't blame me!"
Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just a harmless little thing!"
Several other pavilion elders laughed when they saw this, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. But at this time, Zhang Juzheng said seriously: "There is another thing. Over the years, our civil servant family has become the dominant family. We have become arrogant from top to bottom, and we have inevitably lost our sense of proportion in doing things! So please tell the people below, You should be more cautious during this period, and if you can’t do some things, don’t do them again!”
Although Zhang Juzheng said it in a cryptic way, everyone understood it clearly! This means that in recent years, everyone has had the final say in the world, so they have unscrupulously plundered the national treasury and people's wealth. This is tantamount to giving Liu Haojia an excuse! If he could always catch officials violating laws and disciplines, how could he bring down the Jin Yiwei? As the saying goes, you have to be strong to make iron, so don't reach out if you can during this period, so as not to kill the opponent!
But after he said this, the other pavilion elders did not agree immediately. Instead, they all looked embarrassed, and their faces were even uglier than before!
Of course Zhang Juzheng knew why they were in trouble? As the saying goes, your mouth is used to eating, and your legs are used to running! Nowadays, all the officials in the world who still rely on their salary to live their lives naturally rely on external wealth! If you are used to getting this kind of windfall, how can you stop taking it? Moreover, you have traveled thousands of miles to get an official position just for the sake of wealth, and if you don’t let the officials below get rich, who below will listen to you?
Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng could only sigh and said: "They should restrain themselves during this special period, right? And I see that Wu Ninghou is quite organized in his actions, and he doesn't want to block all the roads! So as long as the following If a person doesn’t do too much, he won’t go to the end!”
Hearing what Zhang Juzheng said, the expressions of several people softened a little, but there was no fundamental change. They know that they may only restrict some people. Most officials will usually listen to them, but they may not listen to them in this matter!
Because they understand very well that the people below are usually under your control, so when it's time to take over, you elders must also take over! Otherwise, why would I push you up? Therefore, the last few people can only express their opinions and restrain them as much as possible. As for how far they can be restrained, only God knows!
