Regarding Qi Yu's actions, Lu Boxuan believed that the other party was demonstrating and provoking the civil servant group headed by him.
In addition, the other party also took the opportunity to form factions and win over groups of generals.
With Lu Boxuan's current status and vision, he could naturally guess Qi Yu's intentions.
In his opinion, winning over military generals was indeed a masterstroke, and he gained their support with almost no effort.
The military generals of this dynasty have always been useless, and their status is not even the slightest bit worse than that of the civil servants.
Since the Song Dynasty, emphasizing literature over military affairs has become the inherent philosophy of imperial government. Except for some old princes who were the founders of the country, military commanders were basically vassals of civilian officials.
No matter how high the official position is, there is no exception.
Even if you become the Minister of War, you still have to abide by the decisions of the cabinet. In principle, you have almost no arbitrary power. This is true at the imperial court, and it is also true at the local level. Even the commander-in-chief of the capital who holds military power is, at best, nothing more than a distinguished presence in front of the governor of the shepherd side.
There have been slight changes in recent years. The Dafeng Dynasty expanded its territory and achieved many great victories, which filled the proud military generals group with a sense of pride. However, the civil servant group did not buy it. Instead of worshiping him, they secretly suppressed the generals.
commend?
Of course, it is possible, just like my emperor’s civil and martial arts, and then there is nothing else.
This is an obvious neglect of the value of generals.
Over time, the military generals group became dissatisfied with the civilian officials group that was above them.
Therefore, Lu Boxuan believes that Qi Yu's main purpose of asserting his power this time is to take advantage of the opportunity to slap the civil servant group in the face and win over the support of the generals.
This kind of operation can not only have the desired deterrent effect, but also divide the contradictions between the civil and military factions, which can be said to complement each other.
The reason why he chose to execute his execution in a public market was mainly because he wanted to gain the support of the common people. It is conceivable how the people will react to the foreign financial wolves who provoke our DPRK.
Killing multiple birds with one stone is indeed a good method!
The civil servants might launch a counterattack, but they would never target Qi Shaobao.
Lu Boxuan naturally knew that Qi's current reputation was so high and so powerful that if there were no big interests involved, the civil servants would never try to tease him again.
In fact, this is indeed the case. With his promise of financial reform, his supporters suddenly shrank. Alas, I wouldn't have done this if I had known earlier.
Seeing Mr. Ci's brows furrowing, one of his servants stepped forward to persuade him: "Qi Yu, he is ruthless and ruthless. He suddenly raised the butcher's knife today, which is probably a signal to us that we will fight without blood."
"Most likely? You don't have to doubt it anymore, it's definitely true." Lu Boxuan stroked his beard and said calmly: "He just wants to use practical actions to tell me that if anyone hinders his progress in joining the cabinet, today's bloodshed will be an example .”
"Then, what should we do next?"
"What else can we do? Of course he criticized and impeached him. Is it possible that he still wants me to praise his feat?"
"However, the Queen Mother is taking a leave of absence due to illness and will no longer be in court in the near future. To whom should we address this impeachment statement?"
Yes, yes!
The most critical audience now chooses to pretend to be asleep. No matter how loudly they scold, the result is just to deceive others!
Suddenly, Lu Boxuan realized something: Could it be that the Empress Dowager had anticipated this, so she had avoided the whirlpool earlier? If this guess is true, she should have chosen to sit on the sidelines.
Or call it sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight.
No matter who of the two parties has the upper hand, it will have no impact on her royal family. In that case, why not do it?
No matter what, impeachment is necessary, and we must not give up fighting back just because the main audience is pretending to take a nap.
This is the biggest weapon of the civil service group. How can we stop it just because of difficulties? If the Queen Mother stays away from court, she will think of other ways.
For example...use newspapers and periodicals?
Well, this
It's indeed a good idea.
Qi Yu can kill people with bloodlust in public, why can't we just give him a warning in front of thousands of readers? Let's see how you defend yourself under verbal and written criticism.
As a result, a denunciation of Qi Yu was born.
The article stated: Qi Yu Qi Shaobao committed a total of thirteen major crimes.
First, he knew the law and broke the law. He chose to lynch the criminal before the verdict was announced in Dali Temple. This move can be described as lawless.
Secondly, he executed the prisoners privately without any warning, which can be said to be arrogant. Such acts of disloyalty are in vain for the emperor to entrust a lonely and important minister. If the emperor knew about it, he would be mourning on his sick bed in Nanyang!
Third, Qi praised him for his violent nature and splattering blood in public in public. Such low moral conduct makes him unworthy of being a scholar. If I, Confucius and Mencius, had knowledge, how painful would it be under the Nine Springs?
Fourth, fifth, and so on, the charges, large and small, were listed one after another, making it dizzying.
Regarding this matter, Qi Yu simply responded verbally: If you want to accuse someone, why bother?
There are also written responses, but they are targeted debates written by Meng Jiming in newspapers.
He argued that it was nonsense to say that there was no king's law. These prisoners were captured by Mr. Qi. Logically speaking, they should have been sacrificed to the Nanyang Army. The reason why they were escorted to Beijing was just It's just a deliberate display of our country's prestige. How could such a simple thing be related to being lawless? What's more, in our Dafeng Dynasty's code of law, there is no saying that killing war criminals violates the law. Since there is no law to follow, how can it be said to be contrary to law? ap.
As for the so-called beheading without warning, Meng thought there was nothing wrong with it. The Shaobao of the country has the responsibility to assist the emperor. Now that our Emperor is out on patrol, why not help the Shaobao to deal with it?
What? Brutal?
nonsense! Has Mr. Qi ever killed a good man unjustly? If there is, I will file a case at Dali Temple. If it is true, don't blame me for punishing you for framing Zhongliang!
The theory of immorality is completely baseless!
Let’s not mention it at all, let’s talk about the loss of harvest in Huguang. At that time, the country was upside down and in danger. Who extended a righteous hand to provide disaster relief for free? If such unparalleled achievements are still immoral, then there really are not many good people in our society!
By making these remarks, Meng Jiming directly stood on the commanding heights of morality and acted out of the interests of his family and country. The scolding Lu Boxuan and the others had no power to reply.
Now Lao Meng is a genuine judicial prosecutor, and his opinions are still very weighty.
Seeing this, some old guys couldn't help but say to their own dandies: I told you to restrain your behavior earlier, do you understand now? It's a battle between big guys right now. If you accidentally bump into a gun, who can protect you?
Two days passed by in a flash, and the heat of the chatter began to fade away.
Just when everyone thought the matter was about to subside, the military commander group suddenly spoke out in the newspaper.
Are the generals going to have a quarrel?
This is a strange thing!
All of a sudden, the attention grew again!
Although most of the generals' writing is crude, this does not affect their expression of opinions. He said: "You straight mother-in-law, you kill a few enemy chiefs and then babble. Are you so idle?" If you really have the ability, why not go to the border to change the stubborn ones? If you can really fight off the enemy with your mouth, I will cut myself three times and come to your door with my buttocks naked to apologize!
After the military generals spoke out, the common people also started to boo: This is indeed true. As a farmer, I know that we should distinguish between black and white and reward according to merit. But now, the heroes of the dynasty are being criticized. What do you think this is? Where? Mr. Qi is such a good person. He provides disaster relief to Huguang and protects the country. How can you rotten people defile him? Not only that, but he actually helped the evil foreign devils stand up and speak up. Is this a case of forgetting one's ancestors?
In an instant, the civil service group became the target of criticism.
