Chapter 324: It is correct to form a party for personal gain for a certain period of time!
Zhu Biao's eyes widened.
The whole person heard it with horror, and his eyes were full of disbelief and shock.
He really couldn’t believe that this was what a minister could say?
His East Palace already has the most luxurious team in the world, and his status is unique and important in the long history. Even so, Xia Zhibai thinks that he is just a 'puppet tool', and he is not ashamed to let himself go Re-open the house and create your own team.
Doesn't this mean that he is betraying his father? !
When Xia Zhibai's voice stopped, Zhu Biao could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and said angrily: "That's enough, Xia Zhibai, I have tolerated you for a long time. Don't think that with a little knowledge, I can deal with you." It’s not your turn to tell me what to do or what I want to do.”
“The suggestions you made are even more heart-breaking.”
“Gu. Just think.”
“I can destroy all your clans immediately!”
"Let Gu Kaifu, how can Gu's current Donggong team be comparable to those scholars from the outside world? Who among them can compare with the important ministers of Gudong Palace? Who can be more loyal to the Ming Dynasty, to His Majesty, and to Gu than them? !”
“What’s even more unreasonable is that you actually clamored for the local government to form a party for personal gain.”
“Do you know that this is the most unacceptable thing for the court?”
“You! This is courting death!”
Zhu Biao glared.
The anger in his eyes seemed to burn Xia Zhibai to death.
Faced with Zhu Biao's anger, Xia Zhibai looked calm and unmoving, like a mountain, unshakable. He just shook his head quietly, seeming to express his disappointment and regret.
"You're still shaking your head, what excuse do you have for shaking your head!" Zhu Biao snorted coldly, and his tone became a little more serious.
Xia Zhibai raised his head, looked directly at Zhu Biao, and said slowly: "If I am not mistaken, His Highness is not angry, but scared."
"Since Your Highness wants to If you know why, then I will tell your highness why.”
"As for why His Highness is allowed to open the government, His Highness actually understands in his heart, so I won't say more."
"I'll just talk about why I encourage 'party formation for private gain'."
"I am not encouraging party formation for private gain. , even very disgusting, but in many cases the world is not achieved overnight. My ambition is to achieve world unity, but with the current progress of the world, it is obviously unrealistic to achieve world unity, and the road ahead must be tortuous and tortuous. It’s a long one.”
“And some roads are destined to be taken.”
“There are many strange things in the country.”
“Wherever there are people, there must be fights and small groups.”
“This is doomed.”
“Whether it is the court or the place, they all have their own factions. "
"In the past, the most obvious ones in the DPRK were the Zhedong Group and the Huaixi Group."
"The Huaixi Group was headed by Li Shanchang, and the main personnel were Guo Xing and Guo. Ying, Tang He, Zhou Dexing and others, although these people seem to be low-key, they are actually very powerful and prestigious, and they rely on His Majesty's cronies to work together to overcome differences. "
"As for the Zhejiang East Group, it is headed by Liu Ji, as well as Yang Xian, Gao Jianxian, Song Lian and others."
"These people mainly make suggestions in the early days."
"Two of them In the past twenty or thirty years, they seemed to be living in peace, but in fact the private criticism was very serious. The Zhedong Group used Li Shanchang's confidant Li Bin to make mistakes, and then Li Bin was killed. Li Shanchang incited the court ministers to attack Liu Ji and forced him to Liu Ji had to go back to his hometown. "
"Although Liu Ji went out, he secretly planned to impeach Li Shanchang, and then persuaded the current majesty, and the Huaixi Group was completely suppressed."
"However, the Huaixi Group was very close to His Majesty after all. Under constant neglect, His Majesty completely lost trust in Liu Ji. The final result was that Huaixi won a great victory, but because of this, Huaixi also began to divide. ”
"Hu Weiyong appeared who tried to usurp power for personal gain." "The DPRK and China have never been monolithic, not from the beginning to the end."
"And this may not have been intentionally created by His Majesty. If the ministers If they are all united, I am afraid that His Majesty cannot sleep.”
“It’s just that Your Majesty suppressed the Zhedong Group too harshly, so that Huaixi became dominant for a while. Although Huaixi was taken over by Hu Weiyong. Parts have been cleaned up, but the fundamentals have not been harmed, and this has also resulted in the south having too much say in the court, and there are no objections, and there are even fewer questions."
"Today's Ming Dynasty. The court is actually a bit top-heavy.”
"And the meritorious group is too big, and the entire southern forces are attached to their influence."
"In time, the southeast will protect each other, and the south will not be too far away from the imperial court, because the interests of the south are now too great. It's unanimous."
"It's so unanimous that it makes people shudder."
"So allowing local parties to form parties for personal gain may not be for the purpose of dividing local forces."
" The originally monolithic South has gradually become divided into local Chief Secretaries acting alone, breaking the current political landscape. His Highness believes that it is more harmful if the entire South is colluding, or if just one Chief Secretary forms a party and pursues personal interests.”
"My strategy is just to choose the lesser of two evils."
"It is true."
"This method is not pleasing."
"It may even make people angry. People are disgusted and even disgusted.”
“But the reality is that you can’t become fat with one bite, and you can’t reach the sky in one step. You can only keep your feet on the ground, step by step, and move in the most advantageous direction until the time is right. , naturally we will catch all those who form factions for personal gain.”
"It's just not now."
"It is far more beneficial to the court to let the localities secretly form cliques than to let the south become one."
"And now His Majesty has fallen into a misunderstanding."< br>
“I think that by keeping the court officials away from the local area and not affected by the local area, they can govern more cleanly. However, it is precisely because they have no connection with the local area that these officials are actually first-rate officials and have no influence on the other party. The power is very small, and the local government has every reason to be able to fool them."
"But if these officials have something to do with the local government, then they will more or less have to do something real."
< br>
"Invisibly, it strengthens the power of the court."
"And court officials will be replaced. When new officials come up and old officials go down, new interest groups will be formed, and new ones will There will definitely be conflicts and struggles with the old ones. When the time comes, these local forces will have to look at the court and need to be checked and balanced by the court. "
"If there are officials with evil intentions and the court finds out, the court will have to check them. He also has the ability to settle accounts after the fall. "After all, the path to promotion for these people is too obvious."
"When the time comes, killing a group of people, suppressing a group of people, and winning over a group of people, won't it mean that the local forces will be reshuffled invisibly? If the court wants to always control the local area, it must rely on constantly provoking conflicts and contradictions among the local forces to make them Fighting against each other, and then allowing the court to reap the benefits."
"The local internal strife is intensifying, and there is no time to covet the central government."
"There are actually certain problems with the current official promotion system in the Ming Dynasty. That is to say, a large number of court officials have not been to local governments and have no local experience. Their actual influence is too weak. "
"If you want to strengthen the central power, you must strengthen the power of court officials. "
"At least the influence on the local area must be deepened."
"Otherwise, it will become like what the people say, the county magistrate is a monk from outside, the subordinate officials are local local snakes, the subordinate officials are tough, the county magistrate is smooth, and the local subordinates have always been unafraid of officialdom. , as long as he does not want to be promoted, under the protection of local forces, he is invincible."
"The important thing for decentralizing officials is to control these subordinates."
"Let these people have to do it. To be promoted, we must adjust and we must maintain respect for the court.”
