Chapter 1190 "Please open the feudal ban"

Gao Yushi entered the palace in the morning, and only came out of the Donghua Gate when the palace gate was about to be locked. It can be said that the emperor attaches great importance to him.

But having said that, the emperor's emphasis on high pragmatism is well known throughout the court, and this is nothing new.After all, Gao Yushi was not only the emperor's companion when he was young, but also the second Sanyuan and the first six champions of the Ming Dynasty.At the same time, he is the successor of Zhenggong Gaowen Zhenggong, the new sect of practical learning, and his own performance is impeccable. He has made great achievements in "Annan Dingbei" at a young age.

No matter how much such a person is valued by the emperor, others can only envy him, and dare not even show the slightest bit of jealousy.

It's just that he is valued and valued, and it is still rare for him to stay for almost a whole day after entering the palace like this, so the well-informed officials began to speculate-could something big happen again?

It's funny to say, the news spread very fast, and by that night, almost everyone who was an official of the seventh rank or above in Beijing knew about it.

Of course, what is funny is not this point, but the reaction of all the officials: the officials of the Pragmatic School began to get excited. They thought that the high-level pragmatists would make a big move, and as their "own people", they would definitely get the moon first.

So they all started to ponder, thinking about how to show their face in front of Gao Gongbao in the near future, so as not to lose their share in this big event that they don't know what it is. Gao Gongbao accidentally left himself behind. It's not beautiful anymore.

The Beijing officials of the Mind School began to get nervous.Gao Yushi spends a whole day in the palace, what is he doing here?Is it a small report for the emperor, or is it simply a long speech, instilling in the emperor those so-called practical ideas that only pay attention to small profits?

However, the former will not take a whole day, while the latter does not seem to be a good time now-because the Jingchao is next year, and it is impossible for Gao Wushi to make any big moves this year, which can overthrow a large group of Mind School at once. people.

Speaking of which, Jingcha itself is also the trump card that the real school has the most advantage of the heart school, because the core department of Jingcha is the official department, and the official department is one of the main positions of the real school.If Gao Wushi really wants to "make trouble" in the imperial court, it will definitely be delayed until the 14th year of Wanli, the year of the Jingcha, which is impossible now. At most, it will only target a certain person or a few people, and it will not and cannot be done. What magnification.

Only in this way, the officials of the Heart School were even more confused about what Gao Wushi was going to do when he entered the palace. Everyone who had qualified qualifications and rank quietly handed over invitations to the Shen University Scholars' Mansion, wanting to ask Ask for information or ask for advice.Those with insufficient qualifications and grades had to send people to wait in the official residences of those who could apply for university scholars' residences, waiting for second-hand information.

In short, because of the small anomaly of Gao Yushi entering the palace for a day, the entire capital officialdom was almost quietly stirred up.

It is very important, perhaps it is the portrayal of Gao Wu's status in the court now.

It's a pity that all these people expressed their feelings wrongly. Gao Wushi didn't intend to punish anyone at all, at least he didn't plan to punish these officials.

He didn't know that all the officials in the capital would be undercurrents because of this trivial matter, but he didn't realize that all his colleagues were "allergic" until a bunch of greeting cards were sent to him.

For this reason, he had to cheer up and receive them, explaining to them the general situation of entering the palace today - of course, he didn't go into details until the matter was finalized, he just expressed that the emperor was a little worried about the increasing population and salary of the vassal clan .

However, these Beijing officials are all smart people who know the elegant meaning after hearing the string songs. Although Gao Yushi only revealed it a little bit, it is actually a clear statement. Why don't everyone know what to do?So they thanked each other and left.

Gao Yushi himself was not idle, he carefully sorted out his thoughts before falling asleep.

Ever since Huang Zhiting returned to Annan, Gao Wushi has spent more time in Zhaohui Jinggongfang No. [-] Scholar than Baiyulou, and today is no exception.Of course, this is also for the convenience of "going to work".

Early the next morning, Gao Wushi arrived at the Ministry of War on time, but the Imperial Guards are now on the right track under the auspices of Qi Jiguang, let alone the Production and Construction Corps. Although Zhu Yingzhen and the others are not interested in fighting, they are still very interested in making money , there was almost no need for Gao Yushi to urge them, they did a good job themselves, which saved Gao Yushi from worrying.

As a result, Gao Wushi didn't have much to worry about, so he sent people to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites to get some information, and then he started to fiddle with matters related to the reform of the suzerain vassal.

Suzerainty reform, this is a matter that will inevitably involve "violating the ancestral system". No matter how sincere it is, the part accepted by the court is still very little.

This matter is complicated because of the ancestral system and "kissing".Needless to say, the ancestral system, "kissing" does not refer to some famous action, but the meaning of "being close to relatives", which is a Confucian tradition and a trait that the emperor himself has to show—whether it is true or not.

So this matter is very troublesome.

Violating the ancestral system is tantamount to losing legitimacy and legitimacy in this era. Usually, no one dares to do so, not even the ministers, nor the king.

However, there is one exception, that is, "public opinion cannot be violated".Gao Wuzhen is now making this idea.

Of course, public opinion has basically been "represented" for thousands of years, and the Ming Dynasty was no exception. Therefore, high pragmatism does not need to go to the people to collect millions of fingerprints or the like, or to create thousands of umbrellas. What, he only needs to bring up the public opinion of the imperial court and create a situation of "sparse progress", that's enough.

Because the meaning of literati is "public opinion", and the officials of the Ming Dynasty themselves are representatives of literati.This explanation is really simple and crude.

After three days like this, Gao Yushi reckoned that everyone should be prepared for what he hinted at, and it was time for him to fire the first shot himself, so on the morning of the fourth day, Gao Yushi went to the swarm. General Secretary.

The title of this essay is "To relieve the poverty of the people, Fengguo uses relatives and clans, please open the feudal ban".The topic has already named the main purpose of this book, that is, "relieve the poverty of the people, enrich the country, and be close to the clan", and the method seems to be very simple: lift the ban on the feudal clan.

"Nowadays the prosperity of suzerains and vassals, the lack of salary and food, is not as good as it is today, and it has been a district painting earlier, and it will be even more difficult in the future.

In the past, the emperor Gao built all the ministers, all of whom had heavy troops and occupied important areas, thinking that the country was a stronghold, and this was solid for a while.

After the death of Jingjing is difficult, the defense is dense, the military power is completely released, there is no trace of Yiqin in the court, and there is no rank for internal reinforcements in the government bureaucrats. This is another time.

After that, arrogance and extravagance gradually increased, occasional farming was not standard, and Fado won the land, and it was cut off, and this was another time.

Together, there are many people and few people, and the expenses are not enough. They have a common room to live in, share the bread and eat, forty and unmarried, and twenty years without empty space. Another time.

At the beginning of the creation of Emperor Fugao, the eldest son of Li Jian, and Emperor Wen, on the day of peace, reflect on the past, with different intentions and each has its own responsibility.As far as the sages have been listed until now, they have moved to the world to change their grace, and judge them according to justice, and their reasons cannot be exhausted.

At the beginning of the Republic of China, there were only 49 princes and generals, and nine female talents. Although there were more and more titles in Yongle, there were not many.But at that time, the salary was already damaged, and it could not be given in full.In the present 200 years, there are thirty-eight thousand and four hundred and ninety-two survivors of Zongzhi's entry jade certificate, which is as much as a thousand times that of the beginning of the country. When almost?How will I give it?

Proponents say that the ancestral system dare not be changed without authorization, but they don’t know that if the law is poor, it will change, and if it is changed, it will be effective, and it will last for a long time. In the early days of the country, the prince’s salary was [-], and the rest of the satin, silk, tea, salt, etc. were also worth tens of thousands of dollars, but it would not stop for a few years. However, giving Lumi was reduced to ten thousand stones within a few years, and it could not be given to the kings of Dai, Su, Liao, Qing, and Ning. The annual grant of five hundred stones was made by Emperor Gao, and the words before and after have been passed. It doesn't match.

During the Yongle period, the number of days was different. Qin, Lu, and Tang each had 750 shi, Liao, Han, and Yi each had [-] shi, Su had only [-] shi, and Qing had [-] shi. Allotment is because Emperor Wen was not far away at the beginning of the country, and the texts of the ancestors' precepts were not completely kept.

Prince Kuang went out of the city, trained at the age of year, searched for troops to prepare for military affairs, and followed the instructions of his ancestors, but after Jing Nan, he went to bed.The princes and grandchildren of the county are one, appointed and promoted, and the ancestors also taught, but there has been no such thing since Liye.It is difficult for the saints to follow the instructions of Emperor Gaozu and the ancestors.

Today, the situation is getting more and more difficult, can you still use glue pillars to adjust it?

The minister is not arrogant and crude, and dares to make five requests, but His Majesty decides:
First, limit the nobility.It was found that those who were in the midst of Jiajing asked for the law of restricting sons, but the Shimiao did not allow it. The minister said that there is no need to limit life, but it can be restricted.The current dynasty has lasted for more than [-] years, and it has been handed down on the basis of relatives. Except for the first conferment of princes and aunts as usual, the third generation will discuss it in detail later, and the conferrals of the repeated dynasties should be restricted.

For example, the eldest son of the prince's direct descendant has succeeded the prince, and the second son of the concubines and concubines is granted the fourth, so there are five in total.The eldest son of the prince's direct descendant has succeeded the prince of the county, and the second son of the concubine Xu has given him the second, and there are three in total.General Zhenfu Fengguo has a direct son Xu to seal the other two, and Xu only has a concubine who has no direct son to ask for the seal.Zhenfu Fengguo lieutenant, regardless of his descendants, Xu Feng's son.For the above-mentioned titles, if there are too many children, if the number cannot be exhausted, please apply for the title as usual.

Those who are interested in reading, and the handsome and beautiful children of the people, enter the school together, and should be listed as the first class.Other industries such as Litiantonggong and other industries should be based on convenience. If one considers that their strength cannot make a living, the amount should be used as a contribution.

The son of a prince who cannot be crowned, from the age of sixteen, will be given a crown and belt, and will be given 600 taels of silver; the son of a county prince who cannot be crowned, from the age of twenty, will be given a crown and belt, and will be given 400 taels of silver; the son of a general and lieutenant who cannot be crowned, If you want to go to school, you will be given clothes and towels, and you will be given 200 taels of silver with all your sons.If you are an official or not, there is no danger of losing your home.

If there are more wandering and waste business people, it is like a family with unworthy sons, and they are helpless.

Or say: "If this is the case, you can go out of the city without permission, such as the country's Ming Ming, why is it forbidden!" ’ Ranchen Changji’s ancestral precepts did not contain any prohibition on leaving the city, but it was set up for those who indulged in lawlessness in recent days.Gou can do his own business, stick to the rules of the king, if there is any disorder, he will be brought to justice, even if he goes out of the city, what harm will he do!
Or say: "If the clan is guilty, the punishment will not be increased. Now that the official dereliction of duty and the angry dispute over the transaction, will it be punished?"Is it all about loans? "The minister said that the clan does not impose criminal responsibilities. It is not the ancient way. The wife has desires. If she calms her emotions and does not mess them up, she depends on the law."Today's clan has had past, and if it is not governed, there will be a division, which is leading to chaos.

And I heard that today's poor family is lazy, the servants are doing everything, serving anonymously, willing to beat Chu, if they are among the gentry, they will all be promoted and impeached, and they will be awarded the jobs of the four people, and the law of the city officials will be used equally. , this Dagong's most righteous way, how can it be humiliated!

Second, discuss succession.The king of Chade County has no heirs, and the Spring Festival of the branch is prohibited, and the elder brother is not allowed to help the younger brother. Today, it is affirmed that everyone guards it together, but the prince can still inherit it from his brothers and nephews.

The ministers and fools thought that the title of the prince was the second son of the emperor, so he was respected by his appearance, so that he would not be intimidated by his brothers.Today, descendants succeed each other, and the generations are rich and honored, so it goes without saying, but when there are no heirs, the lineage will be extinct, that is, the family will be enshrined in the shrine, so that the incense will not fade away, but why make the younger brothers and nephews inherit the title? ?

Please stop pushing one person to manage the government affairs from now on if there are extinct heirs, and don't pretend to ask for the reincarnation of the king.

Third, don't be sparse.It has been found that under the sixth grandson of the county king of the country, the post of lieutenant of Fengguo is conferred from generation to generation. If it is promoted from the prince, it will be the seventh generation. If it is promoted from the county king, it will be the sixth generation. And the end will be forever.

The system of ministers watching the ancestral temple, if you are close to the ancestors, the ancestors, and if you are inferior, it is recorded below the ancestors, isn't it upside down?
From now on, Lieutenant Feng Guo will receive the title and pass it on to the next generation. There is no need to give a title. Only the first son born will be given 100 taels of silver as capital, and it will only be passed on to the fifth generation.

Fourth, discuss the Lord.The head of Chade County and the Lord of the county, county, county, and township each follow their father's errand and so on. At first, there was no limit to the number of them. Today, there are restrictions on the number of male titles. There is no limit to the third, the daughter of the prince, and the daughter of the county king. The second one will be sealed, and the daughters of generals and lieutenants will be sealed one each.

The salaries of the lords are all the same as before, except that they are relocated to Yibin, who have official ranks of duties and orders, which are enough to be honored and favored, and the salary will be exempted.If the above-mentioned women have endless titles, they will still be given marriage allowances for support. 200 taels of silver from the pro-king, 100 taels from the county king, 80 taels from the general, and 50 taels from the lieutenant. Marriage, let oneself manage.

Those who should be promoted to official positions should be aided by foreign officials. Except for the former ones, each son-in-law will be given 50 taels of silver in the future, and there is no need to give marriage money.

Fifth, discuss fraudulent fees.It is found that the children of concubines, children of unauthorized marriages, children of Geju, and a common man, are allowed to follow their own physiology, but they can not be given rations.However, during the period, there may be old and abandoned people, and those who are poor and unemployed.If there is no general, all the previous ones will be the same, and the sons born from now on should be taught as a lesson in advance, and they will be able to grow up after listening to them, and there is no need to give rations.

Among them, good marriage is especially discussed.After checking the royal family's wedding regulations, the Ministry of Rites will make a reply before they can get married.Nowadays, most prefectures marry illegally, and they don't show it publicly. The abuses are false and false, and each person is different. If he refuses to surrender, and the memorial is copied to the ministry, he must not violate the law and issue a reply. Those who have to.

Husbands and sects are based on examples and have no reason. They extend their wishes and ministers are bound by the law, and it is difficult to appreciate their feelings. There are some who are unmarried, but do not give them food and drink. All kinds of hardships are beyond description.

Today, if all the sects are asked to surrender and make it clear that they are the sons of unauthorized marriages, they will be given the same rations as usual, and the scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen will still do what they want.Those who are born in the future are not allowed to give names, do not need to be given rations, and obey orders to be healthy. "

As soon as this book entered the cabinet, from Yuan Fu Shen Shi Xing to Wang Jiaping, the new Jin Dong Ge University scholar, the five cabinet elders gasped in unison, peering at each other, all of them silent for a long time.

Gao Pragmatism really is Gao Pragmatic. He thought he was just trying to "catch" a sum of money for the emperor to use as military pay for the next battle against Tumen Khan.

I think it's nothing more than continuing to reduce the clan's salary. At most, it would be good to eliminate a group of "illegal clans" who have impostors and indiscriminate birth.

But I didn't expect that he would be so generous that he would directly break the iron rice bowl of the clan, and let at least [-]% or even more than [-]% of the people who occupy the clan go to fend for themselves!

Not only that, but he has another one that is even more daring: allowing the clan to become officials!

what is this?This is almost to completely open the feudal ban!

Ancestral system?There is no such thing as ancestral system in the eyes of his mother's high pragmatism!

PS: Gao Pragmatism has published several books so far, and the content of each article is estimated to be enough to be recorded in the annals of history—at least enough in this book, because they are all quite shocking.
