Chapter 59 terrible power structure

It is said that during the Yingzong period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a family in Xingping County, Shaanxi Province, surnamed Tan, and this family gave birth to a son.However, the child's name has been lost in the long river of history, let's call it a small talk.Xiao Tan, this kid is smart and likes to read poems and books. It is said that this kid should take the road to fame in the imperial examination, but for some unknown reason, one day he swung a knife and cut off his own balls, and went to the door of the great eunuch Liu Shun , voluntarily sold himself as a slave to serve Eunuch Liu.Eunuch Liu liked this strange boy, so he took him in as his godson and named him Liu Jin.

So the great eunuch Liu Jin was born. During the reign of Emperor Xianzong, he was assigned to work in the Jiaofang Division, mainly responsible for serving the actors of the Palace Song and Dance Troupe. There are also certain attainments.In addition to being versatile, he also has a violent temper - one day, when he was out of the palace to make purchases, he had a dispute with the seller because the price was not negotiated properly, and he beat him to death with three punches and two kicks. If someone dies, according to the criminal law, he should be beheaded. The relevant department reported the report on Liu Jin's execution, but Xiaozong, who was still the prince at the time, happened to meet him. Xiaozong intercepted the execution order, found an excuse, and released Liu Jin.Then when Xiaozong became emperor and gave birth to his son Wuzong, Xiaozong asked Liu Jin to go to the East Palace to study with him, that is, to study with Prince Wuzong.

How could Xiaozong send a murderer to his son?Isn't he afraid that Liu Jin will get angry one day and crush his own son to death? Don't be afraid, living at the pinnacle of power, Xiaozong has a unique understanding of human nature.He knows that human nature is deeply rooted, and the leading role is fear.What is the reason why the descendants of the Zhu family inherited the throne of emperor from generation to generation?Is it because the Zhu family has a high IQ?It’s bad, Xiaozong knows his family better than anyone else. Among the Zhu family, Zhu Yuanzhang’s talent is roughly true, and Chengzu Zhu Di also has two brushes, but the IQ of his descendants after that has dropped below the level of ordinary people.At this time, the reason why the emperors with mediocre qualifications can still control the imperial power is only because of a long-standing habit-everyone is used to seeing someone surnamed Zhu sitting on the throne of the emperor. rather than their IQ.

Especially the ministers standing on the Golden Luan Hall, all of these ministers are intelligent and talented, such as Li Dongyang, Li Mengyang, Wang Shouren—even Tang Bohu, who has been famous for thousands of years, was squeezed by these ghostly geniuses. When you go to the rivers and lakes, you can see how high the IQ of the courtiers is. There are so many extremely intelligent courtiers, but the emperor's IQ is getting lower and lower. If things go on like this, it is unimaginable. Therefore, it is basically impossible for the emperor to control his ministers with the advantage of intelligence.Isn't it ridiculous that you, a stupid fool, dare to compete with a group of geniuses for IQ?

You can't compete with your officials intellectually. If any clever minister wants to play with you, it can't be easier.Because you are stupid, you are stupid, and you don't even know that you are being played by others.It's all just for fun, I'm afraid that you will be played to the end, Tai Ah will hold back, and instead be taken away by a courtier with a super intelligent quotient, the consequences will be terrible. Is there any way to avoid this terrible end? There is a way! This method is to arouse the deepest sense of fear in the hearts of the officials and make them fear you. No matter how smart they are, fear will reduce their IQ the most.And as long as they are afraid of you, they dare not deceive you, let alone play with you. As for taking away your power, they dare not even think about it.

But how can the ministers feel fear? The solution is too simple. It is to find someone like Liu Jin who has obvious violent impulses, and grant him special powers, let him do whatever he wants, kill ministers and high-ranking officials, let the officials live under the shadow of death, and everyone is in danger Everyone is timid.At this time, the ministers will be infinitely longing for the emperor's rescue. If you save another unlucky minister from a violent person like Liu Jin, then he will be grateful to Dade, worship you with all his heart, and never dare to rise up again. thoughts.

Therefore, during the reign of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, the Xichang was set up, and the eunuch Wang Zhi was commanded by the Jinyiwei to kill all the officials.And Xiaozong arranged for Liu Jin for his son.There is no better way to know a son than a father. Xiaozong knows better than anyone what kind of virtue his son is. The devil made the officials live in fear and despair.Only in this way can the country of his son Wu Zong be stabilized. It is obvious that Liu Jin is extremely smart, he knows what it means to be placed next to Emperor Wuzong, so he lived up to the royal family's hopes after all, and performed his role very well.
