Chapter 266 The actions of Emperor Jinglong and his son
After coming out of the Supreme Emperor, Emperor Jinglong also thought about it for a long time, the difference between the civil servant group and the noble group.
The advantage of the civil service group is that it is updated quickly, and a lot of talents can be produced in three years, and they are selected from the country.
This is the advantage of the civil service group, and the disadvantage is that it cannot be hereditary.
The advantage of the noble group is that it is hereditary. As long as it inherits its title, it can stand in the court regardless of its talent or not, and it may also be at a high position.
The disadvantage is also obvious, that is, because of the slowness of renewal, just like Rongguo Mansion, Jia She has been the lord of the lord for more than 20 years, but he has not died yet. If Jia Lian had not made military achievements, he would have to wait for more than 20 years before he entered the court.
In addition to this, there is another one that is the level of the heirs, such as Jia She and Jia Zheng, whose level is even worse than that of normal people.
Moreover, nobles are those fixed families, and it is difficult to accommodate other people.
So in general, the shortcomings of nobles are greater than those of civil servants.
To put it bluntly, if something happens to the noble group, it will basically be difficult to recover.
After Jia Daishan died, Rongguo Mansion had not recovered for more than 20 years. Jia Jing from Ningguo Mansion suddenly became a Taoist priest. Ningguo Mansion had not recovered for more than ten years, and other noble families were more or less the same.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jinglong felt that he should promote a group of nobles, at least he could not let the civil servant group control the court so unscrupulously.
As of now, there are fewer and fewer nobles and military generals in the court, but there are more and more civil servants.
The Ministry of War, which was controlled by the former Xungui, is now a civil servant Zhao Daxia, and the cabinet used to be the minister of the cabinet, but now there are no more. The other positions are gradually kicked out.
Civil officials have changed from generation to generation, but civil officials are still occupants, while civil officials are still occupants, while nobles are occupants are less and less.
I have to say that the civil service group is really terrible!
Jia Lian didn't know these thoughts of Emperor Jinglong. If he knew, he would definitely be disdainful. This is where he went.
You should know that the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were awesome. Then the Tumu Fort Incident kicked the nobles out of the court.
Speaking of the Ming Dynasty's noble group, it was also tragic. Zhu Zhanji destroyed a wave first, but was wiped out clean at Zhu Qizhen's hands. The royal family was abolished when Zhu Di. In this case, the emperor himself was basically equivalent to running naked in the struggle for power, so the emperor began to support eunuchs, while the civil servant group had no military merit group or royal power suppression, and the imperial examination system produced a steady stream of vitality and began to grow bigger. The trend of party struggles was irreversible.
Starting from Zhu Youcheng, the struggle and infighting between interest groups became the main theme of the political ecology of the Ming Dynasty, and it went to destruction under constant internal and external troubles. It was relatively difficult to cultivate military generals. The Tumu Fort Incident ruined all the generals who fought wars. The civil servant system was too easy to cultivate. The leader of the Shilin was gone, and another one was recommended. But the general system, if you recommend it, there will be no military achievements, will anyone convince? Military generals need to fight one by one.
The group of military generals and nobles was slowly renewed, and Tumu Fort caused a talent gap. The core of the nobles should be the dukes. As a result, two dukes named by Taizu, including Duke of Wei, Duke of Cao, and Zhu Di, were granted seven. The two were posthumously titled, and one Qiu Fu was abolished, and then Li Jinglong was killed. In other words, during the Battle of the Capital, the core of Wu Xun's attempt to reverse the situation should be these five dukes.
First of all, the Xu Huizu family was protected by Empress Xu, which was equivalent to house arrest. The Duke of Qian was from the Southern Frontier and could not come. Zhu Yong died because of the slums and took the blame for the Tumu Fort, and was seized by Yu Qian. The heir of the Duke of England was a nine-year-old child. Duke Ding was suppressed for six years without prejudice, resulting in the vacant title during the Battle of the Capital. Several of the Marquis and Earls made contributions after the Tumu Fort, but they could not withstand the shrinking of the noble market.
The nobles are a closed system, and it is inevitable that talents will be eliminated. However, civil officials can monopolize their careers through the imperial examinations, which can ensure that many talents emerge. It is unrealistic to rely on nobles to check and balance civil officials. In fact, civil officials are just slaves to the imperial power. As long as the emperor is qualified, there is no problem in playing civil officials. Once the emperor lacks ability or is lazy in politics, it will cause civil officials to mess up the government affairs.
The sources of bureaucrats are divided into Enke and Civil Affairs. The interests are inconsistent, and civil officials cannot monopolize the career of officialdom. Otherwise, if an emperor has a slightly lower ability, a big problem will arise.
It was precisely because Jia Lian knew clearly about the Ming Dynasty in history that he disdained the civil service group.
If you really follow the civil servant group everything, sooner or later, the emperor and nobles will become puppets.
Even if the civil service group is corrupt, it can give a lot of open reasons.
They were told that all the righteous things were all right, but they just didn't do human affairs.
Corruption, bribery, behind-the-scenes transactions, collusion between officials and businessmen, and oppression of the people, if these civil servants really become bad, they will be worse than anyone else.
Therefore, Jia Lian has never had any good feelings for the civil service group. He said those words to Emperor Jinglong for the two marquises of the Shi family and Wang Ziping.
Jia Lian didn't believe that there was no eyewitness from Emperor Jinglong in his mansion. If he didn't monitor him, then this emperor would be unqualified.
Jia Lian was right, those words really attracted the attention and shock of Emperor Jinglong and the Supreme Emperor. In the following court meetings, Emperor Jinglong arrested several mistakes and scolded several cabinet masters in the cabinet, which made them very embarrassed.
In addition, evidence of corruption by several ministers above the second rank who were in office or retired and returned home was found. All of these people were searched and these people were captured back to the capital. They also ordered them to be not allowed to be admitted to the imperial examination for the third generation.
In addition to these, Niu Jizong from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was moved from the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War. As for the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, he selected an experienced county prince from the royal family to serve as the position of the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War.
Not only these, in the future, there will be constant important officials of the civil servant group, and they will be criticized by the present for some time.
For a moment, everyone in the capital was in danger and didn’t know what the madness Emperor Jinglong did?
What surprised them the most was that not only Emperor Jing Long, but also the Supreme Emperor scolded some old ministers. After scolding these old ministers in the civil servant group, the Supreme Emperor also rewarded some old ministers in the noble group, and the old gangster Jia was also rewarded with something. The old gangster was so proud.
