    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    The prince is only ten years old, no matter how smart and sensible he is, he is still just a child.  Long Qing was deeply impressed by the dangers in the palace, and knew that without strong protection, a ten-year-old child would face various ways of death. In short, as long as someone wanted him to die, he would definitely not survive

    The only ones that Long Qing could entrust with peace of mind were the prince's two mothers, the aunt Empress Chen and the birth mother Li Guifei.  Among the two, he is actually more at ease with Concubine Li Gui Although the aunt is older than the biological mother, it is not the flesh that fell from Empress Chen. Although Chen has no children, he can only regard the prince as his own son  But what Long Qing was worried about was, when it came to a critical moment, did she have the determination to protect the calf with all her might?  After all, for Empress Chen and the future Empress Dowager Chen, since it is not her own son anyway, it would not affect her status if she was replaced by a son of the clan, and it is not unacceptable Although the possibility of this is very small, the Royal Family  It is the most incredible thing in the world, anything can happen, for the sake of his son, for the sake of his ancestors, he can't take this risk.

    Only Concubine Li Gui, the mother of all her sons, will protect her son's safety and maintain her son's status at all costs, because mothers are expensive by their sons, and everything is lost.  In fact, Long Qing admired this scheming woman very much. He thought that he was a little weak, and he just needed such a woman to supplement and deter the harem.  Therefore, he has always turned a blind eye to what Concubine Li Gui did, until this woman intensified and challenged his bottom line, getting his beloved woman out of the Qianqing Palace and killing her.  Only then did Emperor Longqing feel furious, knowing that blind indulgence would only harm her, and he had to teach her a profound lesson.

    Yes, Long Qing has never thought about what to do with Concubine Li Gui. After all, she is the woman he loves the most and the mother of his two sons Long Qing has learned from childhood that having a father is like having no father, and having a mother is like having no mother.  Living a miserable life, how could he have the heart to let his son repeat the same mistakes?

    As for Concubine Li Gui's viciousness, he is not worried, tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention that this woman's status depends entirely on her son, so Long Qing just wants to neglect her for a while, let her know who she is, and act in the future  It can be restrained a little, that's all.

    It's a pity that people always judge others' hearts with their own hearts. People with dirty minds think that others are equally dirty. Therefore, in Li Guifei's view, Long Qing's silence was just a prelude to an explosion. She never thought that the emperor would bring it up again and again.  , Gently put it down, and only after hearing Feng Bao's encouragement, decided to put all his eggs in one basket

    As for Feng Bao, Long Qing planned to get rid of it at first, and it was not difficult at all. As long as the emperor said a word, the great eunuch covering the sky with his hands would be gone.  However, the deteriorating health prevented Long Qing from doing this, because most of the eunuchs around him were extremely stupid, and only this Feng Bao could calm down the situation and make the chief of ceremonies compete with the foreign court

    Why did Emperor Xuande set up an inner book hall to teach the eunuchs to read? Because he needed helpers to deal with the ministers.  In the impression of folk operas and ordinary people, as long as eunuchs are mentioned, they will be associated with bad guys who do all kinds of evil and bring down the emperor. However, the ministers who fight against eunuchs are all righteous and awe-inspiring, throwing their heads for the country's court and the people of Li.  , Sprinkle blood, will last forever, everyone admires.

    But is it really so?  Actually not, of course, most of the eunuchs are not normal, with dark psychology and greedy But the root cause is still the question of who holds the pen.  The literati have the right to speak, and the ministers are outstanding representatives of the literati. Therefore, under the guidance of public opinion, it is not surprising that the ministers have a long history and the eunuchs have a bad reputation.

    However, in the eyes of the emperor, ministers are terrible, far less lovely than eunuchs.  Because the political system of 'the king and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together' determines that the emperor must accept the separation of powers and checks and balances from the civil official group. This is really not a happy thing for the emperor In the impression of the common people, the emperor is  You can do whatever you want, no one can control you.  But in fact, it is not easy to be the emperor of this dynasty. Those civil servants are like a swarm of flies. They not only want to give you advice, but sometimes even sarcasm and satirize you. You can't do anything to him.  Not only state affairs, they even take care of the emperor's private affairs, the emperor wants to build a house, they say it costs money, they want to go out to play, they say it's a labor of labor, some even go too far, they even care about the emperor's sex and doings, and they have plausible arguments  Said, "The Son of Heaven has no selfish affairs, for the sake of the country and society, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

    And the emperor can't lose his temper, the scholar-bureaucrats are watching, you have to accept their opinions, and the attitude is even better.  If you can't help scolding them, you may even be punished.  Then comes the trouble, the truth is always on the side of the ministers, and it will be recorded in the history books that they have the courage to admonish and can live forever; but the emperor is unfortunately saddled.??The only right in the world that can suppress the right to vote for the cabinet is in the hands of the eunuch Bingbi!

    And on top of the eunuch Bingbi, there is also a eunuch with palm seal. As the name suggests, this is in charge of the jade seal for the emperor. Without his seal, no matter how much you write, it will be a waste of paper

    With the power of this batch of red and palm seals, the status of the eunuchs soared, and the eunuchs with palm seals were known as "inner ministers", and they became a check and balance with the cabinet.  It was precisely because Emperor Jiajing didn't understand this truth at first that he fought so hard with his ministers when he was young, and later on, didn't he still have to use the inner court to monitor the cabinet?  Emperor Longqing did not have the fierce fighting power of his father, but he had received royal education after all, so after ascending to the throne, he began to increase the size of the eunuchs The chief eunuch of Yu Mansion, the old people in the palace, not only himself, but also them  His brothers, Congzi, also all received rewards.  The emperor also ordered to reorganize the East Factory, restore the surveillance of the ministers, and let the eunuchs lead the Beijing camp, set up internal guards in the palace, and so on He also refused to allow the ministers to intervene on the grounds of differences between inside and outside.  The emperor wanted to use these means to strengthen the strength of the eunuchs to check and balance the foreign court.

    However, after the purgatory baptism of Emperor Jiajing, the strength of the auxiliary ministers of the Longqing Dynasty was too strong. No matter what tricks the emperor and middle officials wanted to play, they could not escape their eyes.  They have never stopped suppressing the inner court, making it difficult for the emperor's schemes to succeed again and again.  To this day, the situation that the outer court family dominates has not changed, and the inner court, under the leadership of successive incompetent eunuchs, can only stay low under its influence and cannot violate it.

    Emperor Longqing himself could bear the power of the foreign court, but he couldn't bear his son to be oppressed again.  Of course, the emperor's worry is justified. The ten-year-old prince is still ten years away from becoming an adult, and it will take at least seventeen or eight years before he is truly mature enough to grasp the power of the emperor.  During this period, the imperial power was inevitably declining. If someone wanted to use these ten years of effort to do something, the emperor was completely powerless to stop it.

    At this time, the supervisor of ceremonies, which is used to check and balance the outer court, is particularly important.  At this time, a fool like Meng He who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun can't be expected.  Only with a villainous slave like Feng Bao and a shrew like Concubine Li Gui, this combination can support the crown prince and prevent the royal authority from being taken away by civil officials.

    No matter how benevolent an emperor is, he is still an emperor. When he was alive, his most important thing was how to keep his own authority. When he was about to die, what he considered was how to keep the authority of his descendants.  It is absolutely impossible!¡ª¡ª
