Chapter 1287 Come out, Mi Zhe
How many dishes are you drinking like this? !
Wang Meng and others curled their lips in disdain after listening to Zhu Ping'an's sigh.
What other news channel is not smooth? ! What memorial contents are relatively public? .I asked you what you think, how dare you think about it! What is your identity and status? I have no clue! She is so young and has no breasts! We failed this time. You, Zhu Pingan, will not have such good luck next time!
"Ping'an saw you all, and I felt very cordial. Suddenly, Meng Lang started talking nonsense, which made all of you laugh." Zhu Ping'an said to everyone with some embarrassment after sighing with emotion.
"Young people should think more. What Mr. Zhu just mentioned is not without purpose."
Xu Hai smiled slightly and encouraged him. He used to be an angry young man who always liked to point out the world. When he saw Zhu Pingan, it was like seeing himself in the past, so he became more and more pleasing to the eye.
Tan Lun just smiled slightly and said nothing. His eyes were as deep as an ancient well.
Zhu Pingan took in everyone's expressions without leaving a trace, paying special attention to the expressions of Xu Hai and Zhang Guyi.
The emotion I just expressed was not just a moment of nonsense or nonsense, but something intentional.
Seeing the expressions of Xu Hai and Zhang Guyi, Zhu Ping'an raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then lowered his head, put down the chopsticks in his hands, and tapped the table with his fingers, pretending to be a standard thinker.
Sure enough, after Zhu Ping'an thought for a few seconds, he heard Xu Hai's voice, "What is Mr. Zhu thinking about?"
"Ping'an is wondering if there is any way to solve these problems. Question?" Zhu Pingan raised his head and replied thoughtfully.
What? Solve these problems?
When Wang Meng and others heard this, they snorted disdainfully, Zhu Pingan, I said you were fat, but you still breathed? ! So what problems, such as blocked information channels, can be easily solved? ! He’s not old, but his tone is not young!
"Oh, Master Zhu, what do you think?" Xu Hai asked with interest.
"I was wondering, based on the current memorials and memorials, whether it is possible to add a secret memorial?"
Zhu Pingan said slowly, revealing the fox's tail.
That’s right!
It’s a secret! Zhu Ping'an's emotion as he moved a hammer here and there and a stick here and there were just preparations for launching the secret fold.
Zhu Ping'an had long wanted to introduce the secret folding system that became popular in the Yongzheng Dynasty in the later years of Kangxi to this dynasty, but he never had the chance. Now he just took advantage of this opportunity to propose the secret folding system.
The secret folding system of the Qing Dynasty was a system that deeply impressed Zhu Ping'an. It was no less profound than the brand-turning system of the Qing palace attendants.
The Qing Dynasty was not like the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, there were no Imperial Guards, no Dongchang, or these secret service agencies. How could the emperor, who sat high in the temple and lived deep in the ninth level, control the government and the public? ! How to monitor ministers? ! How can you know everything about the world without leaving home? ! However, the main method they rely on is secret folding.
Through secret secrets, they can know everything about the world without having to deal with secret services such as Dongchang and Jinyiwei, which have been criticized all over the world. There are two classic examples: In the early years of Yongzheng's reign, an official sold a new hat and couldn't put it down. The next day, he went to court without his hat to thank him. Yongzheng jokingly said to him, "Please don't mess with your new hat." It's dirty. Another official was playing "leaf play" with his friends one night, and for some reason he lost a leaf. When he went to court the next day, Yongzheng asked him how he passed the time last night. The official answered truthfully that he was playing leaf games. Yong Zheng smiled with satisfaction, took out a leaf from his sleeve, and said to the official, Aiqing, please take it back and finish the game last night. The official took the leaf with both hands and saw that it was the leaf he had lost last night. He was suddenly sweating!
The so-called Mi Zhe, as the name suggests, highlights the word "secret" compared to the relatively open memorials of the Ming Dynasty.
The specific operation is as follows: Central and local officials of fourth rank and above, as well as some courtiers authorized by the emperor, write the secret fold in their own handwriting. After writing, they put it into the folding box and send a special person to the capital to read it without going through the inn. There are only two keys to the folding box. One is in the hands of the official and the other is kept by the emperor. No one else can open it. This is an information channel dedicated to the emperor and individual courtiers, radiating throughout the country.
During the Yongzheng period, there were more than 1,200 ministers with secret rights. The secret document only stipulates the form and does not limit the content. Everything you hear, including impeachment memorials and anecdotes, can be reported. Through the secret system, the emperor is like having a God's perspective. All the disturbances in the empire can be seen, and he can have an overall view and control everything.
The secret system of the Qing Dynasty was a great weapon that brought the feudal monarchy and centralization to its peak!
Zhu Ping'an believed that with Emperor Jiajing's extreme intelligence and greed for power, as long as he heard about the secret system, he would adopt it without hesitation as a means to consolidate his rule and firmly control the Ming Dynasty.
Although the Ming Dynasty had Jinyiwei and Dongchang, these two spy agencies had their own limitations and were far from enough to meet the emperor's requirements for controlling the world. Otherwise, there would be no West Factory. The eunuchs of Dongchang are dark and perverted, the uniformed guards are good and bad, and the censors often neglect their duties. With secret information, all officials in the world can become the emperor's eyes and ears. This is a group of high-quality spies, far beyond what eunuchs and fanzi can compare with. .
Emperor Jiajing would definitely not refuse.
Xu Hai is the leader of the investigation team for this trip, and Zhang Guyi is from Dongchang and is the supervisor of this trip.
These two people are the key. Xu Hai had a good impression of him, Zhang Guyi was an old friend, and the two were not in the same group. He believed that his "secret discount" proposal would reach the ears of Emperor Jiajing through the two of them.
Of course, the main purpose of Zhu Pingan's secret plan was not to bring the feudal monarchy and centralization to its peak.
First of all, Zhu Ping'an was thinking about eliminating and limiting internal party strife in the late Ming Dynasty. The secret system of the Qing Dynasty was a powerful weapon against cliques. Officials at all levels restrained and monitored each other, which could effectively prevent officials from forming cliques for personal gain and cliques. The Ming Dynasty's party strife and serious internal strife greatly weakened the power of the Ming Dynasty, which was also a major reason for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty's sky-high building. It is hoped that the party struggle can be nipped in the bud and this hidden danger be eliminated for the Ming Dynasty.
Secondly, if people don’t do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them. Zhu Ping'an proposed the secret package also to gain benefits for himself. Zhu Pingan wanted to get the right to submit a secret report. With this right, although Zhu Pingan was far away from the center of central power, he could always make his presence felt in front of Emperor Jiajing and gain political capital. There was no one in the world who was more powerful than Jiajing. This emperor's thigh is thicker. As long as you hold it tight, you will get a promotion and a salary increase. , reaching the pinnacle of life is not a dream; in addition, having the right to secretly submit a memorial is equivalent to having a nuclear deterrent in your hand. Others who want to target you must also weigh it. I am "the first god of the Ming Dynasty" "The nickname was not given out of thin air, lest this situation of being impeached should happen again.
