Poetry about Jin Yiwei's domineering attitude

From establishment to abolition, why did the Royal Guards only exist for five years under Zhu Yuanzhang? When it comes to the Ming Dynasty, Wei Jinyi and Dongchang are representative organizations. In recent years, many film and television dramas have shaped the image of Wei Jinyi, and the flying fish suit and embroidery knife are deeply rooted in people's hearts. In fact, Wei Jinyi was the "secret police" of the Ming Dynasty, and they had the power to override the judiciary.

After Zhu Yuanzhang became a security guard, it really worked. Did the Royal Guards become obsolete in a few years? I see!

Royal Guards was indeed founded by Zhu Yuanzhang. At the beginning of its establishment, its three main duties were guarding duty, reconnaissance and arrest, and summoning prisons. In addition to commanding one person and two people to know each other, there are also town envoys, thousands of households, hundreds of households, general flags and flags. The overall status of the Royal Guards in Ming Dynasty changed with the changes of the current situation and leaders, sometimes suppressed by the East Factory, and sometimes superior to the East Factory.

In Hongwu 15, Zhu Yuanzhang transformed the "pro-military captain's mansion" into a Royal Guards, and officially announced the birth of the Royal Guards. Royal Guards showed high working efficiency at the beginning of its establishment and played an important role in Zhu Yuanzhang's manipulation of ministers in the early Ming Dynasty. For example, the Hu incident involved more than 30 thousand people.

What is terrible for the Royal Guards is not only their direct orders and imperial power, but also their special power. The management decree of Beizhen Government Department under Royal Guards has independent judicial power and can secretly try prisoners. The three legal departments have no right to ask. Too much power will lead to many unjust cases, and imprisonment is often synonymous with "hell".

Not all the Royal Guards are as smart as they are on TV. Many are "chores". For example, the "big man general" who is responsible for the emperor's ceremonial and lodging guards. The name is unparalleled domineering and majestic, but it is mainly the commodity that supports the scene, reaching 1500 people.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not really abolish the Royal Guards. Strictly speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang lived in Hongwu for 20 years, abolished Jin Yiwei's instruments of torture and sent the prisoners to the prison of punishments. After Ming Zu ascended the throne, he restored the imperial edict of the Royal Guards and gave them independent judicial power again. Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the imperial edict of the Royal Guards mainly because the imperial edict was so powerful that it was superior to the judiciary, and it was indeed dismissed as creating unjust cases. Therefore, in order to reassure the court ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang had to abolish the imperial edict of the Royal Guards. In fact, the Royal Guard still exists. Like the average big guy.
