Chapter 53: The Thirteenth Yamen in Kyoto (Part 2)

Chen Fei's eyes were wide open, which shocked him even more than the emperor being undermined. According to my sister, the emperor was just a prisoner! The eunuch party is so strong that it actually controls the power of the entire Qin Dynasty? Why have you never heard of anyone?

"Sister, why have I never heard of this before? If the eunuch party really wants to be so powerful, then it will be a hot topic in the world? Storytellers from all over the world have long used it to talk about the ancients!" Chen Fei asked curiously.

"It was indeed a hot topic a dozen or twenty years ago, so my father knew very well. However, as the eunuch party sold the officials in the world and delegated power, these officials who tasted the sweetness automatically advocated the Xujun, believing that the king would not care about anything and let the cabinet formed by the civil officials manage the affairs of the world. Instead, the national government was smoother. Now there are such teachings in the Wenzheng Academy. But to say that, in fact, few civil officials were willing to enter the cabinet because the cabinet was controlled by internal officials. After the eunuch party delegated power, the real control of the place in the capital was the capital." Shen Yuxia laughed while riding a horse.

"Huh? Sister, didn't you just say that the eunuch party almost controls the entire Qin Dynasty? Why do you now say that the eunuch party only controls the Jingji area?" Chen Fei asked curiously.

"Little guy, didn't you hear my sister say that it was back then? At that time, the eunuch party delegated power, and it was indeed only the eunuch party who was controlled by the eunuch party. But now it has been more than 20 years since. With the eunuch party, he has controlled the government and the emperor, and their power has long penetrated all over the country." Shen Yuxia patted Chen Fei's head and said.

"But you said that civil and military officials from all over the world would secretly kill them if they didn't give face to the Thirteenth Yamen. Since the eunuch party's forces have penetrated all over the country, how could those civil and military officials be so bold? Sister, you didn't comfort me that you said you don't have to care about the Thirteenth Yamen, right?" Chen Fei said with a bitter face.

"You little guy only listened half of the time. I didn't listen to me that the Thirteenth Yamen showed their identity openly. Will the governments in various places cooperate? The Thirteenth Yamen did not show their identity. Who would know if they were killed? After all, although the eunuch party is powerful, it is an eunuch party after all, and it is not even a powerful minister. How could the people below be truly convinced!" Shen Yuxia said unhappily.

"Since everyone is not convinced, why are there no loyal and righteous people jumping out to serve the king? Wouldn't those nobles and royal families object? When the storyteller talked about ancient times, wasn't there a loyal and righteous people jumping out to set things up and save the country's court when treacherous ministers and eunuchs riots, wouldn't there be loyal and righteous people jumping out to make trouble and save the country?" Chen Fei was still very curious.

Shen Yuxia said: "More than a hundred years ago, the Eight Kings rebelled and brought all the nobles and royal families into it. At that time, the founding nobles and royal families died almost the same, and the civil servants began to expand at that time. Later, the emperors valued eunuchs in order to compete with civil servants, and the eunuchs' power also developed at that time. For more than a hundred years, civil servants and internal officials competed for power in the court, but they were equally comparable."

Speaking of this, Shen Yuxia couldn't help but sigh: "It was just that the late emperor died suddenly, and the prince died suddenly, which made the baby's grandson be carried on the dragon throne by the eunuch. Then the eunuch borrowed the name of the baby emperor and took the opportunity to clean up the court, and thus began the purpose of the inner eunuch dominating the court. However, the eunuchs found that the court order could not leave the capital, and the emotions in various places were surging, and there were even direct rebellion with the slogan of killing eunuchs. In order to solve this problem, the eunuchs in the inner court had somehow actually called Xujun, but in fact they were delegating power to buy good things for officials from all over the country."

"Sister, this eunuch delegates power, so those officials agree that the eunuchs are in charge of the affairs of the government?" Chen Fei didn't know what he was doing, but he actually listened to these secrets of the court with relish.

"Haha, the power of eunuchs to be released is too great. For example, in the past, the chief officials of government offices in various places, whether they were county magistrates or prefects, and prefects, had to go to Beijing to pay a visit to the emperor before taking office, and they could only perform their duties with the emperor's permission. But now, the appointment of provincial governors and officials of the same level was still issued by the **, but the recommendation power had already fallen in each state. The appointment of prefect and their city officials was appointed by the Shangguan of the Prefecture, and the county magistrate and their city officials were appointed by the Shangguan of the County Government. In addition, only the land tax was required, and other messy taxes were collected and used by the local government themselves, and this also included the decentralization of the appointment power of military officers. Think about these benefits, no matter whether civil or military officials were, as long as they were officials, they would not support Xujun!" Shen Yuxia smiled.

"Those stupid guys, the eunuch party will first give benefits. When the situation stabilizes, then gather people a little bit and finally completely remove them. I can see this. Thanks to the fact that those civil and military officials happily accept the benefits promised by the eunuch party, and they are not afraid of being choked up!" Chen Fei said disdainfully.

"Hey, Xiaofei, how do you see this? The eunuch party did take advantage of these benefits to temporarily stabilize the whole country, and then took advantage of the land tax collected from various places to collect a lot of troops. With the army in hand, the eunuch party began to penetrate into various places. Now, the government orders issued by the court really dare not disobey the lip service." Shen Yuxia said with some surprise.

"This is not simple. Isn't it said that the eunuch party now controls the whole country? Since the eunuch party wins in the end, then the eunuch party's delegation of power is a scam." Chen Fei said proudly.

"Haha, this is not a lie. At this point, the decentralized power eunuch party has not taken back, because eunuch party also knows that they are just temporarily in the right position. If they lose such benefits to appease the officials below, I am afraid that those who raise the flag to serve the king will really appear again." Shen Yuxia smiled.

"Ah? It's actually like this! This eunuch party is really smart." Chen Fei nodded in a daze. He touched Chen Fei's head in his arms and smiled: "Xiaofei, are you interested in these questions?"

Chen Fei nodded excitedly: "Well, I'm very interested. I didn't expect that the Qin Dynasty was fighting like a gang. The emperor, the leader, was overshadowed by his confidants. In order to completely control the leader, the confidants delegated the power of the branch to appoint subordinates, and agreed with the branch to pay a little fee, and the other income was his own. The confidants of the main hall used this independent method to destroy the possibility of the leader summoning these branches to eliminate the possibility of the rebellion of the main hall. Then the confidants of the main hall slowly bought the branch and placed personnel, and after all the branches were completed, the confidants of the main hall could truly exercise the power of the leader."

Hearing this, Shen Yuxia, who had been calm and unpretentious, couldn't help but be shocked and shocked. Although it seemed a bit inappropriate to compare the court with the gang, it really explained the relationship between the emperor and the eunuchs in the inner court and officials from all over the country. His younger brother is really qualified to be an official? Shen Yuxia couldn't help but touch Chen Fei's head again, thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since Xiaofei, you are so interested, then sister, let me tell you other things."

"Other things? What's the matter?" Chen Fei asked curiously with his head raised.

"You are about to study in the War Martial Arts School. In addition to being able to learn the martial arts circulating in the army from the school, you will also learn the military formation. Because after graduating from the War Martial Arts School and want to join the army, you will be a sergeant." Shen Yuxia said.

Chen Fei blinked and nodded, looking at his sister with some confusion. He had already found out such a thing when the gang leader recommended him to enter the Battle Martial Arts School, but he didn't know why his sister said this repeatedly. However, Chen Fei didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

"What I am talking about is not about the War Martial Arts School, but about what kind of army you will join after graduation in the future." Shen Yuxia said.

"What kind of army is it? Is there any difference between the army?" Chen Fei asked in surprise.

Shen Yuxia smiled and said, "There are naturally differences. One is that the guards have high military salaries, good equipment, and quick promotion. However, they have to run wherever there is war, and they are very tired. This kind of army is the target of the eunuch party and officials from all over the country. As long as they have strong combat power, they will not have to worry about promotion and wealth."

Speaking of this, Shen Yuxia continued: "One is the soldiers of the Zhechong Mansion. In the past, Zhechong Mansion was a warrior in the Qin Dynasty, but later due to frequent wars, the number of soldiers was killed, wounded and fled, and the lack of the gap was added, and the role of the warrior was completely lost. Initially, he wanted to disband, but it involved too many troubles. In the end, the entire Zhechong Mansion was moved to military farm soldiers, and the guards formed by recruiting troops were replaced by military farm soldiers. However, because Zhechong Mansion was a military farm soldier, he had his own military farm and garrison and independent personnel rights, and the responsibility of guarding the defense zone, he had no desire for the local area and could not get in. In addition, the soldiers of the Zhechong Mansion liked to cause trouble, which made local security uneasy, so the relationship with the local area was extremely tense."

"However, although the treatment of Zhechong Mansion is not as good as that of the guards in all aspects, it has the power of a local tyrant. Of course, because Zhechong Mansion does not need to ask the eunuch party to supplement money and food, and the human resources and financial power are independent, the eunuch party cannot do anything about it, so it has become the most suppressed army by the eunuch party. Unfortunately, the officers of the Zhechong Mansion all took care of their own interests and occupied the interests of military farms, making the soldiers of the Zhechong Mansion become farmers, otherwise it must be the trump card for the emperor to destroy the eunuch party. Xiaofei, which one are you going to choose?" Shen Yuxia asked with some concern. He only knew that Shen Yuxia's tendency would be known as Shen Yuxia's tendency, otherwise no one would say it well or the other would be bad.

"There are actually two types of troops!" Chen Fei shouted in surprise when he widened his eyes, but when he heard his sister's inquiry, he immediately shouted: "Of course I am a soldier in the Zhechong Mansion! I don't want to leave my sister and the eldest brother to run around the country, and I can also be a local tyrant. If you don't become such a soldier, you are a fool." (To be continued.
