I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 522 Eunuchs also have ambitions

"These bastards, there is no good thing."

Wu Changqing couldn't help scolding when he looked at the memorials for impeaching Zeng Yi.

If those who impeached really wanted to return to the officialdom to impeach Zeng Yi, Wu Changqing would naturally have no opinion. Bad officials should be impeached.

If someone impeaches, it means that the officialdom is still normal and benign.

If there is no impeachment, then there is a big problem, which means that the officials below have reached a compromise with each other, and the officials protect each other and deceive the top and the bottom together.

It's good for someone to impeach, but in light of the recent power struggle, Wu Changqing knew in his heart that those who impeached Zeng Yi just didn't want Zeng Yi to take the position of Minister of Public Security.

Impeachment with a purpose, the words inside can not be completely believed.

Civil servants usually pretend to be high-minded, but when they slander people, that is more cruel than anyone else.

"These foreign officials are still not as comfortable as domestic slaves."

Wu Changqing usually likes to chat with Feng Debao and other eunuchs who are close to him. Feng Debao also knows Wu Changqing's temper, so he dares to say it directly.

What he means is that foreign ministers are always selfish, and there are interest groups behind them.

In comparison, it is still easy to use eunuchs.

Eunuchs are the emperor's family slaves. They exist by relying on the emperor. All power comes from the emperor, so they must be the most loyal to the emperor.

It can be said that the person who least wants the emperor to fall is the eunuch.

This has been proven countless times in history.

As soon as Chongzhen came to power, he listened to the words of the Donglin Party and overthrew the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian.

As a result, when Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, it was the eunuch who was with him trying to escape from the city. When he committed suicide, the eunuch was still by his side.

From this point of view, Feng Debao's words are not correct at all.

"You're saying this because you want to recreate the beauty of the eunuch's power in the past."

Wu Changqing complained.

In today's Dahua, eunuchs have no real power.

Without real power and physical disability, it is even more despised by others.

This group of eunuchs is naturally not reconciled.

They are already disabled, and without the pursuit of women, they naturally need some psychological pursuits.

And Wei Zhongxian set an example for them.

If it can be as beautiful as Wei Zhongxian, it must be very cool.

Therefore, Feng Debao would belittle foreign ministers and say good things about eunuchs, hoping that Wu Changqing could re-enable the group of eunuchs.

"Damn the slave."

Feng Debao knelt down quickly, his heart was unpredictable, and he didn't know Wu Changqing's true thoughts.

"But what you said is correct. Although the slaves are selfish, they are still much better in terms of loyalty than foreign ministers."

Only a fool would think that everyone in the world should be loyal to themselves and that others have selfishness. This Wu Changqing understood it too well.

"This is natural. Everything of our slaves depends on your reward, the emperor. That is naturally grateful. In order to be loyal, our slaves are willing to sacrifice their lives."

Feng Debao spoke carefully, but he was secretly happy.

Wu Changqing's attitude shows that their eunuchs still hope to re-engage in political affairs and regain power.

This is great news for them.

If he can promote this process, he will naturally become the respected object of other eunuchs when things are done in the future.

This is the value of life in his eyes, his pursuit and dream.

People who don't worry about food and clothing need a little pursuit so that they won't be bored and confused.

Wu Changqing was also hesitating whether or not to let the eunuch take power.

There are so many things to govern a country, and sometimes he really feels tired.

But if you don't see some things in person, the people below will definitely deceive them.

This is a problem that all emperors have to face. Faced with this problem, different people have different choices.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to be a model worker, working more than 12 hours a day and doing everything himself. later

Qianlong, Jiaqing and others are also first-class model workers.

And like Emperor Zhengde, he doesn't care about anything and just plays with women.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Qianlong are naturally rated countless times higher than Zhengde, but if they are more comfortable than who they are, I am afraid that Zhengde is several times better than the two of them.

They are two extremes, and there is also a moderate choice, which is to do some of the work and then delegate some of the power.

As for this delegation of power, some were delegated to foreign ministers, some were delegated to eunuchs, and some were also delegated to foreign relatives.

But either option has pros and cons.

Sometimes Wu Changqing will think, does this choice really make a difference?

In history, eunuchs have also had a prosperous time in power. The eunuch's rise to power has caused troubled times.

And foreign ministers and relatives were in power, and there were both prosperous times and troubled times.

If you think about it from this aspect alone, it seems that whether a country is well governed or not has nothing to do with who is in power.

Wu Changqing didn't study in depth, and he wasn't sure whether his idea was right or wrong.

However, he only knew one thing.

As long as we insist on taking science and technology as the core and insist on developing social productive forces, even if power is delegated to foreign ministers, the world will get better and better.

In the same way, delegating power to eunuchs will also be the same

a result.

Liberating the productive forces is the ultimate solution to all social problems. As long as the people in the world are rich enough to have too much money, there will be no contradictions in this world, and there will be no struggle for power and profit.

Of course, this is almost impossible.

"You pick some smart people out to study first, and I will be useful in the future."

Wu Changqing instructed Feng Debao.

Whether to use eunuchs or not, he has not yet decided.

However, you can plan ahead and train some eunuch talents first, so that if you use them in the future, no one will be available.

Even eunuchs must have the ability to be entrusted with important responsibilities.

If they are stupid or illiterate, and give them power, won't they be played by the civil servants like cats and mice?

Therefore, the truth is that among the eunuchs in history, there are many talents, and their talents are no worse than that of Wenchen.

Like Zheng He, he was first-class in military affairs, painting and calligraphy, diplomacy, etc.

The ability of someone who can take charge of a fleet can be imagined.

"The slaves obey the order."

Feng Debao suppressed his inner excitement and thanked him. With Wu Changqing's words, he was a big step closer to the eunuch's power.

He can only pray now, praying for the civil servants to do a little more, and when Wu Changqing can no longer bear it, it will be the day when they will come out on the mountain.

At that time, as long as he has not retired, he will be the head of the eunuch and the next Wei Zhongxian.

Although Wei Zhongxian's end was tragic, Feng Debao wouldn't care. Anyway, everyone dies, and everything is worth it to be able to have a good time before death.
