    "Your Majesty, I sincerely request permission to return home to Ding You to fulfill your filial piety!"

    At the court, Liu Jin, as expected, submitted a memorial to return to his hometown, Ding You, to observe filial piety.

    "Um!"

    "I have also heard about your family's affairs. Please express my condolences."

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded, really intending to symbolically express his disagreement and win over his love once, and then wait until Liu Jin once again proposed to return to his hometown Ding You to observe filial piety.

    This is also a way for the emperor to show that he values ??a minister.

    The so-called seduction of love refers to the fact that after the parents of an ancient minister died of illness, according to the rules, the minister had to go home and stay filial piety for three years. However, ministers often occupied high positions and important positions, and had to assist the king of Zuo in handling national affairs. Sometimes they could not do without  , unable to escape.

    So the emperor would directly issue an order to cancel Ding You's filial piety. This is called seizing love, which means that the minister is deprived of the feeling of returning home to fulfill his filial piety to his deceased elders.

    Generally speaking, when encountering important ministers or during extraordinary times, the emperor will seize his affection. He cannot allow ministers to leave the government and the public for three years because of such things.

    You must know that three years is a long time. Things in the government and the public are changing rapidly. If a minister leaves the government and the public for three years, he may not even have a place to stand when he comes back.

    Taking Liu Jin as an example, if Liu Jin goes home to observe his filial piety, and someone else becomes the chief minister of the cabinet, what arrangements will be made for Liu Jin when Liu Jin comes back after his filial piety period is over?

    ?? Could it be that the current chief minister of the cabinet should quit and replace him with Liu Jin?

    This is obviously inappropriate. What¡¯s more, the new chief minister of the cabinet has been chief minister for three years. Most of the officials in the government and the opposition are probably his people. Who will speak for you?

    Once the center of power is far away, it will be very difficult to get back in. On the one hand, you need the trust of the emperor, and on the other hand, you need a large number of people in the government and the opposition to be willing to support you. Only then can you return to power.  center.

    Ordinary ministers are not willing to say that they have returned to their hometown Dingyou for three years because of such a thing.

    It was not easy to climb up. You suddenly said that you would go home and stay for three years. After these three years, the day lilies became cold, and they really stayed where they were.

    Therefore, ancient ministers were actually very afraid of such things happening, especially at critical times, such as political struggles. Once such things happened, it would definitely be very difficult to deal with.

    Like Zhang Juzheng in history, when he was the chief minister of the cabinet and had the power, his old father left and he had to go home to observe his filial piety.

    He is really unwilling at all costs. If he leaves, his reforms will definitely be ruined. The key is that it is easy to leave, but it will be difficult to come back. Competitors are eager to leave early so that they can advance.

    Therefore, Zhang Juzheng also thought of many ways at that time, which was to ask his ministers to suggest that the emperor seize love. In the end, he followed the same pattern over and over again. In the end, the emperor seizes love and canceled Zhang Juzheng's plan to return to Ding You to observe filial piety, allowing him to continue to hold power.  , implement reforms.

    In fact, Ding You's rule of observing filial piety has a long history. It originated in the Han Dynasty. It emphasizes governing the world with filial piety and being filial. This requires observing filial piety for three years, and there are many rules during the period of observing filial piety.

    For example, you can't live at home, but you have to build a thatched cottage next to your parents' graves to observe filial piety, you can't eat meat, you have to be vegetarian, you can't drink alcohol, you can't sleep with your own wives and concubines, etc. In short, there are many rules and it is a very difficult threesome.  Year.

    I don¡¯t know who came up with this system in the first place, but the emperor was actually promoting it, which was very beneficial to the imperial power.

    When you meet a minister you don't like and you can't find a reason to let him go home for retirement, it turns out that the minister's father is dead, so you can take the opportunity to get him out of the court and hand over the power in his hands. This imperial power will be even more  Stable.

    When he meets a minister he likes and is his right-hand minister, the emperor can win over the minister and let him stay without any impact.

    ¡° Anyway, the final decision-making power still lies in the hands of the emperor. It all depends on the emperor¡¯s will whether to seize love or not. In addition, after the ministers return from observing filial piety, it still depends on the emperor¡¯s will whether they can fear high positions again.

    Generally speaking, this system is actually a rule intentionally promoted by the ancient emperors.

    " Anyway, it has no impact on the emperor. If his father dies, the emperor will be busy ascending the throne. After all, a country cannot live without a king for a day.

    If the emperor¡¯s mother dies, the emperor still needs to eat and drink. After all, the dragon body is important, and it cannot stop even in the harem. After all, it is related to the extension of the country and the inheritance of the country. The emperor should??I understand it very clearly, and I can see the problem with many things at a glance.

    "If that's the case, then I will allow you to go home and observe your filial piety."

    After thinking about it, Emperor Hongzhi also planned to use the trick. He wanted to see who the careerists behind this were. In addition, he also wanted to see what would happen to the government and the public if Liu Jin was no longer in the government.

    After leaving Liu Jin, will there really be big changes in Ming Dynasty? Will I really be inseparable from Liu Jin's support?

    There are many things that Emperor Hongzhi had to make his own considerations and arrangements for as emperor. It might not be a bad thing to let Liu Jin go home and rest for three years.

    "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

    When Liu Jin heard this, he quickly thanked him.

    Liu Jin also has his own arrangements and considerations. This time he returns home to observe filial piety, which is also the beginning of his departure from the center of power. After three years, even if he comes back, he should slowly withdraw from the center of power, so that he can be glorious in the future.  I retired and went sightseeing.
