Chapter 79 The Situation

It’s not that he is so nostalgic, but that this guy later joined the Huan Party. Now that Li Hong is dead, the Huan Party may fall, so this guy comes to hug Zheng Xiaoming’s thigh.

However, the situation in the court that this guy explained was fair and profound.

"In short, civil servants from the outside court are constantly growing bigger and overpowering the imperial power. It is best to want the emperor to make a rubber stamp, stay in the palace and give birth to a child honestly, and don't care about anything else, don't do anything...

This naturally had a conflict with the emperor. In his later years, Emperor Yuanxing realized that the civil service group was too big. It was too late to support the nobles and military generals again!

The nobles and military generals have no more foundation than in the capital.

On the contrary, although the current emperor is young, he is really talented. He thought of using eunuchs to deal with civil servants in the foreign court!" Xu Rui said.

Zheng Xiaoming said strangely: "Wait a minute, what you are talking about should be a routine operation, right? Isn't this what you have done since the Han and Tang Dynasties?"

"So, this is the cleverness of the current emperor!" Xu Rui praised the methods of the current emperor.

"In the previous dynasty, the two emperors of Lingheng used eunuchs to fight against the court officials, and repeatedly caused the party and corruption disaster. As a result, civil officials from the foreign court and the royal family turned against each other, which led to Taipingdao's rebellion and later separatist vassals...

To be honest, this is all due to the resistance of the court officials to the imperial power.

The so-called king treats his ministers as earth, and the ministers treat him as enemies. Therefore, the destruction of the previous dynasty is caused.

Although the emperor has used Li Hongyu, he has not directly fought against civil officials from the outside dynasty.

On the contrary, Li Hongyu won over a group of court officials and formed an eunuch party to fight with civil officials...

This is the cleverness of the current emperor's methods!"

When Zheng Xiaoming heard this, he shook his head: "After the previous dynasty and the party and the corruption disaster, weren't the civil servants and officials fighting with the eunuchs?

Then the battle failed, which completely lost nostalgia for the previous dynasty and overturned the entire empire.

Now that the civil servants in the north rely on eunuchs to fight with the Southern Party, how could they be willing to be defeated?

I'm afraid that soon, the entire Jiangnan will be filled with war and will be separated from the court!"

After the civil servant group grew, there was a split within it and it was divided into several cliques according to its region.

However, because the battle was too fierce, the Southern Party and the Northern Party were finally merged and reorganized, forming the Southern Party and the Northern Party, which were mainly divided by the north and the south.

The south is the essence of the Great Chu. The so-called outstanding people and prosperous economy account for most of the officials in the court.

The Northern Party is naturally no match, and it was beaten up in a mess. Only then did he surrender to Li Hongyu and become an official party. Then he suppressed the Southern Party to fight!

But will the Southern Party really be willing to suffer after losing a big loss?

I'm afraid not?

At that time, they lurked in the local area and incited local separatism and centrifugation.

Most of the taxes of the Great Chu come from the south. Once you do not get the support of the south, you will have no money to suppress the rebellion... This will be the story of the previous dynasty again!

So although power is powerful, it really cannot affect the overall historical situation.

As the situation develops, no matter how powerful the emperor is, he cannot save this leaking ship.

Of course, this is not a speculation by Zheng Xiaoming, but something that has happened in history...

In the history of the Great Chu where Zheng Xiaoming was located, the situation later developed into this.

(There is also the time and space of another world, which also developed in this way. However, Emperor Tianqi suddenly died, and the Donglin Party in Jiangnan gained power. The so-called "maintaining the dynasty" did not allow such a situation to continue to develop.

The so-called Wei Zhongxian Party is the Qi Party, the Chu Party and other parties gathered under the eunuch Party to jointly deal with the Donglin Party in Jiangnan.

Later, Emperor Chongzhen could no longer collect taxes from Jiangnan... He could only continue to increase taxes on the lower class people.

History continues to repeat itself! It was just that later the Qing Dynasty entered the pass and interrupted all this.)

Then Xu Rui never thought that Zheng Xiaoming would say this. Thinking about it carefully, is Zheng Xiaoming really possible?

Is it because their Northern Party was defeated? Will they be willing to do so? That's why they, civil servants from the outside court, went to Li Hongyu and became the official party regardless of their conscience.

But if the Anhui Party loses again? Will they be willing?

Impossible!

They represent the interests of scholars and officials from all over the north. If they are really expelled from the court by the Southern Party, there is no room for survival. Local interests in all over the north are not guaranteed in the court, then Xu Rui is sure that the north will immediately become turbulent.

Local gentry will incite the bandits and robbers to rebel, and there may even be border gentry collusion with barbarians outside the pass and break into the pass...

The party struggle between the North and South is actually a struggle between local interests between the North and South. No one has a way out!

The Southern Party felt that our south had contributed most of the world's taxes and needed fiscal transfers to support those poor people in the north, so we naturally did not want to. While wanting southern officials to occupy more positions, we wanted to reduce tax revenue in the south.

The north is under pressure from national defense, and while feeling that the southern barbarians are making unreasonable troubles. You can change the rules of hundreds of years, and you still want to kill us. Do you really think we are a mud?

Our north is poor, and you, the southern barbarians, should pay more money... less officials.

In short, there is no way to reconcile such a dispute over interests.

Originally, the official group of this article was unanimous to the outside world, fighting against the imperial power, the two accomplices, nobles and eunuchs.

Later, after the civil service group dominated the country, the conflict came out first!

Xu Rui is now an old bureaucrat and has a deep understanding of the situation in the court. When he heard Zheng Xiaoming say this, he suddenly looked confused: "So, no matter what, I, Da Chu, can't save me?"

If you really say that, this is a dead knot. No matter how wise the emperor is, he cannot change the situation.

So how long can the Great Chu court last? Twenty years or thirty years?

Will the dynasty change at that time? Should I die before or after death?

He has contributed his whole life to the Great Chu. Do you still have to serve the new dynasty when you are old?

But Zheng Xiaoming smiled and said, "It's not entirely true!"

When Xu Rui heard this, he was very moved and asked, "Don't Xiayang Gong have any solutions?"

Zheng Xiaoming said: "The current Da Chu is a typical intra-roll! All the troubles are intra-rolled.

Since the inner rolling cannot be done, then should we roll it outward?”

"Outer roll? Inner roll?" Xu Rui's face was immediately confused.

In fact, from the moment when the Great Chu stopped expanding, the current situation was already destined. Even if the emperor carefully maintained the balance of the three horses, it would not work.
