To be precise, the Wanli Emperor had not ascended to the throne for nearly 30 years, and he had not been in the air at all, and he was still in his hands to kill and seize power. Don't be bad.
The reason for this is that he is mainly grateful to his ancestors, who called him a beggar emperor ancestor - Zhu Yuanzhang!
There is no harm without contrast. Wanli has powerful ancestors, even if the dynasty is not high, it can also shake hands with great power, and I have the world. Look again, Qin II also had a powerful father, Qin Shi Huang, but he listened to Zhao Gao's flickering, and he didn't ask about eating, drinking and having fun all day, and became a stallion with a wine bag and a rice bag.
He lived a short life, lived in time and pleasure, and was completely hollowed out in less than a year. Three years later, he was killed by Zhao Gao's son-in-law Yan Le, and before he died, he cried and cried and begged to be a Li people. Before he died, Yan Le directly called him to his feet instead of His Majesty, and did not regard him as emperor.
Let's look at the Wanli Emperor, who was the longest-reigning emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but during his 48-year term, he did not go to work for 28 years, and his life was much more leisurely than that of Qin II. This kind of playing with great power can not be left behind, Qin II Quanxia you know how envious and jealous and hateful!
In view of this, successive emperors, especially the founding emperors, have all monopolized power, not to mention that those who have the idea of seizing power are dead, even those who have the conditions for seizing power have not ended well.
Everything must be done personally. Regularly white plus black five plus two correction "homework", very hard and very tired, interesting is that they love to work they are quite long-lived. For example, the emperor with the longest life expectancy in the Ming Dynasty is Precisely Zhu Yuanzhang, who has the greatest workload.
Zhu Yuanzhang's victory over the world is not easy, so everything must be done personally, and he not only considers the monopoly of power by himself who is diligent and strong, but also ensures that the descendants of the weak and weak government will also have great power. But the Wanli Emperor could still sit firmly in the jiangshan with four moves if he did not do the right thing. Two and a half of these four moves are related to Ming Taizu's "cleverness".
The first move is the cabinet system
Zhu Yuanzhang was born into poverty, and he was serious and serious about the hard-won Jiangshan, and filled in the gaps and filled in the leaks. In terms of dictatorship, Zhu Yuanzhang is different from the previous emperors, and his predecessors basically treated the symptoms rather than the root causes. Zhu Yuanzhang, however, wanted to solve all real and potential threats once and for all.
The previous emperor did not have a good end for who threatened the emperor, but Zhu Yuanzhang believed that it was not someone's problem, but the problem of position. As long as he has this kind of position, there will be the possibility of not being able to drop or even replace it, and what he wants to do will make this possibility impossible.
To this end, he was laying out the layout, he deliberately created "many acts of injustice will kill themselves" and continued to strain, and then justifiably abolished the minister.
From the Qin to the Later Liang, most of the dynastic changes were played by the emperor to replace the routine. Even han song, Zhu Yuanzhang is also the minister (ping [pian] chapter) to replace the Xiaoming king, the same mistake is not made twice, Zhu Yuanzhang is more bullish to block all the potential threats now. Since the position of minister is very terrible, it is not enough to blindly restrict it, and only by completely abolishing the minister system can we draw salaries from the bottom of the pot.
Zhu Yuanzhang connived at hu Weiyong's misdeeds, and when he was bad, he not only killed Hu Weiyong but also incidentally abolished the post of chancellor and avoided "job-related crimes." He also ordered that future generations could not mention the ministers and ministers of the prime minister's office, and whoever wanted to say that it was re-established would directly kill the whole family.
The second trick, the factory health system
Zhu Yuanzhang was not only afraid of the chancellor, but he was also uneasy about other officials. Ten years later, that is, in 1382, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the pro-military Duwei Mansion and Luan Yiwei, merging the two into Jinyiwei. On behalf of the emperor, Jinyiwei investigated hundreds of officials and even the relatives of the emperor, and had the right to arrest and dispose of them, the level was not high, the power was very large, and he was the emperor's confidant and sword. Even Zhu Yuanzhang himself was dissatisfied with the Jinyi guard, so he also made a cut.
The Yongle Emperor was not in the right place, worried and suspicious, and in 1420 he re-established the Jinyi Guard and established the East Factory (the full name Dong Ji Shi Factory) to monitor hundreds of officials, nobles, and imperial relatives. The Chenghua Emperor experienced the change of Tumu Fort and the change of seizing the door in his childhood, and after succeeding to the throne, he encountered the Assassination Incident of the Taoist Priest Li Zilong breaking into the palace, and in 1477 he set up the West Factory. In 1517, the Zhengde Emperor's favored eunuchs appointed the Eight Tigers, of which Gu Dayong was in charge of the West Factory, Ma Yongcheng was in charge of the East Factory, and Liu Jin (later the Ninth Thousand Years Old, Emperor Li), the head of the most favored Eight Tigers, had no unit in charge. Therefore, he suggested that "the foreign salary factory of the Salary Division should be changed to an office factory, and the old warehouse of Rongfu should be a domestic and external affairs factory" This is the háng factory. Emperor Mingwu agreed happily, and háng meant to do things, this inner factory was very powerful, and the East and West Factory Jinyi Guards were all its subordinate units.
The third move, the vote proposal and the approval system
In ancient China, the emperor's power was getting bigger and bigger, but the workload was getting smaller and smaller, and Qin Shi Huang read the chapter almost every day to stay up late to batch homework, and the next day he had to go to the early dynasty, although the emperor did not have great power, but he was too tired to do it.
After Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the Chancellor, although he directly faced the six departments, the workload was too great. Old Zhu was born in the army, full of energy, although very tired, but still worked hard for the Country. After Zhu Di took office, he felt that staying up all day and working overtime, and getting up at dawn in the morning to work was not a way, so he set up a "secretary group" to assist himself in his office.
When it came to Ming Yingzong, the assistance of the "secretarial group" became the "advisory group". Emperor Yingzong Chong Ling, the main emperor, succeeded to the throne and did not understand anything, and Empress Sun did not learn from Empress Lü, Empress Wu, and Empress Liu, which formed a cabinet vote system.
The Cabinet presents the following chapters, writes out the disposition on the note with an ink pen, and then submits them together. The little emperor can approve and oppose the opinion (referring to the answer) with a red pen. However, sometimes the emperor did not know whether to agree or oppose or other reasons, and would also withhold the recital, which was called staying in the middle.
The emperor is getting lazier and lazier, and he doesn't even approve the imperial approval, but how does the country operate without approval! The emperor let his domestic slaves (eunuchs) learn culture, approve the chapter, and cover the jade seal, and this is the approval of the red power. The emperor promoted eunuchs, on the one hand, to make it easier, and on the other hand, to put the courtiers and eunuchs in checks and balances.
The Wanli Emperor's 28-year absence from work should have been expelled long ago, but I still have it in the world. The cabinet worked but the power was decentralized, and there was no minister in the form of a minister. Even if there is a cabinet elder like Zhang Juzheng, he only has the right to vote, but the right to approve red is in the hands of eunuchs. Although the eunuch party is heavily used, the establishment of the factory health system can form checks and balances both internally and externally. Wasn't Ma Shun, the commander of jinyiwei, beaten to death by the courtiers? If that one emerges, the emperor will use a multi-force force to destroy them.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs monopolized power, and they were also the factory guards, and the supervision army, and the approval of the red, but the factory guards were divided, the supervision army could not control the army, and the emperor of the red power could also take it back at any time. The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were a dog of the emperor, and although it was crazy, the rope was always in the hands of the emperor. It was in this way that the fall of Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian was also a matter of the emperor's words.
As for why the Wanli Emperor became the Emperor of Absenteeism, some people said that he was unhappy with the ministers on the establishment of the prince, and he was angry that he did not go to work, but he could not be angry for 28 years. Some people said that the Wanli Emperor had long and short legs because of illness, and he was afraid that the courtiers would laugh at him and simply did not go to work. And took it out, Guo Moruo opened the Dingling Tomb and found the body of the Wanli Emperor as evidence. But the Wanli Emperor was not afraid of eunuchs and palace women laughing at him? Besides, who would dare to laugh at the emperor?
However, although the Ming Dynasty had a sound system, wanli could enjoy the blessings of qing and maintain the operation of the country. However, because of the wanli emperor's absenteeism, many things could not be solved in time, so there were problems of one kind or another. Therefore, there is such a sentence in the "History of Ming", "Ming died, but actually died in the Ming God Sect." And The MingShen Sect was the absentee emperor Zhu Yijun, and his era name was Wanli.
