Daming Yuanfu

Faced with Huang Zhiting's sudden nervousness, Gao Wushi waved his hand lightly, and said, "I didn't say that he should be appointed now, pay attention to the words I just used: Dingnan Garrison is going to be upgraded to Huben Army, and there will be six towns... ...I plan to let him be the commander of the Huben Army after he finishes this battle."

"The concubine is still against it!" Huang Zhiting's face has become very serious at this moment, she said firmly: "Since ancient times, there has never been... er, there has never been such a thing."

Although she choked up halfway through her words, it was obvious that what Huang Zhiting wanted to express was "since ancient times, there has never been anyone in the Eastern Palace who held military power in the capital", but she suddenly remembered that she couldn't say that, so she changed her words temporarily.

Gao Wushi smiled, glanced at Liu Xin, and suddenly asked, "What do you think?"

Liu Xin spread her arms and asked, "Master, is he asking the concubine how he sees it, or the secretary-general?"

Slightly raising his eyebrows, Gao Yushi asked knowingly, "What's the difference?"

"Naturally it's very different." Liu Xin sighed and said: "If the master asks my concubine, the concubine will say: 'If the father is away, the eldest son will stay at home, what's wrong'?
If the master asks the Secretary-General, the Secretary-General can only say: "Military power cannot be faked, let alone the military power of the capital"? "

After all, Liu Xin was so courageous that even Huang Zhiting didn't dare to say "Eastern Palace" lightly, but she dared to call Dingnan City "Jingshi".

Gao Wushi smiled again, but he didn't comment on the words. He turned his eyes again, this time to Gao Mo who had been silent all this time, and asked politely, "Uncle Mo, what do you think?"

At this time, Gao Mo was over seventy years old, and he proposed to retire and return to Xinzheng several times, but was rejected by Gao Wushi. Now he can be said to be the elder among the elders in the Jinghua system, and he has always controlled the very core Ministry of Internal Affairs, and his status is extremely high. important.

Under the temptation of absolute power, the relationship between father and son is sometimes not so reliable.This caused the emperor to feel worried about his son, so since the Tang Dynasty, such as the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there were fewer things for the prince to supervise the country.

Supervising the country is generally when the emperor is traveling or unable to take care of things, he may issue an edict ordering the prince to supervise the country.The situation of the prince supervising the country is relatively common in the past dynasties. For example, Cao Cao conquered Ma Chao in the west, and his son Cao Pi supervised the country; , let Prince Li Chengqian supervise the country;

During Zhu Di's period, Jian Guo had a lot to do with Taizu. You must know that Zhu Di rebelled and took over the world from his nephew.He must try his best to show that he has fully inherited Taizu's will and will, and at the same time show that Zhu Yunqi willfully disobeyed Taizu's will.

Huang Zhiting thinks that Gao Mo's suggestion is far better than Gao Yushi's own decision just now—in fact, Huang Zhiting thinks that Gao Yushi's words just now are not a decision, but more likely a temptation.Gao Mo's suggestion is able to temper Gao Yuan without causing Gao Yuan's power to arouse him to develop against his father, which is really a good strategy.

For example, during the Tang Dynasty, the princes had great power. They really had military power. They had three guards in the East Palace, and most of the three guards chose the emperor’s generals or the sons of important officials. Therefore, the prince’s party in the court was a big one. power.

Moreover, sometimes the crown prince accompanied Cheng Zu on the northern tour, and the emperor's grandson supervised the country. This training method trained the successor very well, so there was the subsequent rule of benevolence and propaganda.Although Emperor Renxuan actually still did a lot of things that were not good, it should be said that the national power at that time was still the strongest period of the Ming Dynasty.

Gao Mo coughed lightly, and said slowly: "There is an ancient saying: 'When the prince lives, the crown prince lives to supervise the country; when the king walks, the crown prince follows, and the prince serves to care for the army', it is true.

It can be seen from this that there have been princes overseeing the country in all dynasties, so what is the benefit of the prince overseeing the country, why Huang Zhiting was immediately moved when he heard this?
In fact, the benefits of setting up a supervisory state are obvious. On the one hand, the normal operation of the country can be guaranteed when the emperor is away, and the prince can be familiar with the country's political affairs in advance to exercise his ability.

However, Zhu Di could not make the king of Han the crown prince, because the eldest son was the ancestral precept set by the Taizu.This situation is like Li Shimin who became the emperor. Li Shimin took the throne by rebellion, but he insisted on making Li Chengqian the prince. Is the eldest son.It wasn't until Li Chengqian rebelled that Li Shimin had no choice but to abolish his crown prince.

Of course, there are also cases where the clan supervised the country or ministers supervised the country. For example, before the change of Yingzong Tumubao in this dynasty, his younger brother was appointed to supervise the country.

And some scholars in later generations believe that Tianqi likes carpentry because he was not taught when he was a child. As a grandson of the emperor, he had no books to read, so he could only "play with building blocks".At the same time, it was also because no one cared about him when he was young, that's why he relied so much on his wet nurse, Hakka, and by the way, on Hakka's "pair food" Wei Zhongxian.

In this case, because of Tianqi's sudden death, it is normal for him to be unable to manage such a large country suddenly.It can be seen from the fact that the emperors after Wanli almost never become emperors, it is necessary to carefully cultivate heirs, and the system of supervising the country, which is closely related to the cultivation of heirs, is naturally necessary.

For example, the legal basis for his mobilization of Jingnan is that Emperor Jianwen's cutting down the feudal clan did not conform to Taizu's philosophy.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records Zhu Yuanzhang's words: "Since ancient times, the king who started a business has been hard-working, understanding human feelings, Zhou physics, so he handles things well. The successful king grows and grows richly. Today, I will face the ministers and listen to the explanations of the ministers, so as to practice state affairs."

Leaving other dynasties aside, let's take Daming as an example.The early Ming Dynasty paid great attention to the cultivation of heirs, and attached great importance to the education of the prince and grandson. For example, when Wu Zong Zhu Houzhao was the prince, he was taught by a university scholar. Although Wu Zong himself was very rebellious and made many things later, but At least his education is adequate.

Although Zhu Biao had many state supervisors during the Taizu period, he did not form a customized system, and Zhu Di perfected the state supervision system: what powers the prince had to supervise the country, and what powers the clan and vassal kings had to supervise the country were all clarified by Zhu Di.

When he said this, Huang Zhiting's complexion really improved a lot, and she was no longer the tense and serious look she had when she first heard Gao Pragmatic's words.Especially when Gao Mo talked about "Prince Supervising the Country", Huang Zhiting was inevitably moved.

This old slave's heartfelt words are shallow and foolish, if there is anything wrong, I hope the master will forgive me. "

Moreover, the power of the prince itself will affect the imperial power, and it is also a big trouble for the prince or prince to place people in the court.

After he became emperor himself, he would also follow the policies set by Taizu.For example, compared to the obese prince Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Di actually liked the King of Han more. He felt that the King of Han was more like himself, and he made great contributions in the process of Jing Nan.

First of all, of course, it was because Zhu Yuanzhang trusted his son Zhu Biao very much, so Zhu Biao supervised the country.However, he also has his reasons for doing so.

For example, when encountering a rebellion, the supervisory country can mobilize the frontier army, but it must immediately ask the emperor for instructions; it can only appoint subordinate officials other than the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Department, and the generals of the five military governors stationed in the capital cannot be appointed by the supervisory state. of.Therefore, Zhu Di not only wanted to train the prince, but also did not want to give the prince too much power, especially not to make him have the power to threaten his status as emperor.

By the time of Zhu Di, supervising the country became more common. His prince Zhu Gaochi had the experience of supervising the country six times, for a total of seven years and eight months.This time is very long, and the longest time was when Chengzu moved the capital, Prince Zhu Gaochi supervised the country in Nanjing, and Chengzu lived in Beijing for a total of three years and seven months.

So, why did the prince supervise the country become a custom again in the Ming Dynasty?This of course has something to do with Zhu Yuanzhang.

In later generations, those who knew something about the early Ming Dynasty almost all believed that if Zhu Biao succeeded to the throne, he would definitely do better than the doll Zhu Yunqi.With his mind, prestige and ability, it is impossible to force against Zhu Di, even if he is really forced, it is almost impossible for Zhu Di to choose to resist, so Jian Guo is indeed a good way to train the prince.

And what about Chongzhen?Although he studied for a few years after his father and elder brother became emperor successively, since he was only the vassal king of the kingdom of yet to come, he was not trained as the heir of the country at all, so what he learned was not an emperor at all. The techniques are basically all nerdy principles of self-cultivation.

But this time, Gao Mo seemed to have expected that the master would ask him questions.

This time, Gao Mo’s suggestion boils down to asking Gao Yushi to follow the established system of “Prince Supervising the Country” in the Ming Dynasty as a template, so that Gao Yuan has the same authority as the Prince Supervising the Country in Dingnan—this means that Gao Yuan mainly obtains the authority of the Southern Xinjiang. Basic administrative power, but must not interfere with military power and personnel appointment and dismissal.

This passage is very simple, so I won’t translate it. It probably means that the prince needs to be trained so that he can be a good emperor in the future.

The Ming Dynasty after Zhu Di often had the phenomenon of supervising the country. For example, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, King Xiang and King Zheng supervised the country, and during the reign of Emperor Yingzong, King Yi supervised the country.

This is vividly reflected in Zhu Biao.Zhu Yuanzhang has trained Zhu Biao for 20 years. He is the heir to the throne that everyone is satisfied with. His personal character and ability are recognized by the courtiers.

The emperor wanted to train heirs and hold the power in his own hands, so too much power in supervising the country would cause trouble.Even if you are Lao Tzu, he will dare to oppose you when he has great power, especially when the old emperor is particularly alive.

Therefore, Zhu Di had to guard against his son. When he was the emperor, the crown prince was not able to do whatever he wanted, nor could he change officials at will to cultivate cronies. Complete imperial power.

However, in the later period, especially after Wanli, because of the influence of the national struggle, it is not so reliable to cultivate heirs.For example, in the original history, Guangzong Zhu Changluo, because he was not liked by Zhu Yijun, had a difficult life in the East Palace, and Guangzong died very early before he had time to train an heir. As a result, Emperor Tianqi was almost semi-literate He couldn't even understand the memorials on the Internet.

Many of the rebellions of the princes in the Tang Dynasty were because of this, so Li Chengqian was able to rebel, and Li Heng was able to seize Xuanzong's power during the Anshi Rebellion.

Speaking of it, Zhu Di and Li Shimin have similarities, because he also obtained the world by rebellion, but he is not as good as Li Shimin, that is, although the world is unified in the hands of his father, Li Shimin stands for the unity itself. His contribution can be much higher than that of Zhu Di.

Gao Mo's remarks were quite level. He first used the ancients' common understanding of "princes supervising the country" as a basis, and opposed Gao Yushi's handing over the military power of Siam to Gao Yuan.But he didn't really offend Huang Zhiting, Gao Yuan's mother and son, so he immediately said that if the master wanted to train the young master, he could actually hand over the government affairs of the entire southern Xinjiang to him, which also conformed to the normal thinking of "the prince supervises the country" , and can more comprehensively exercise and examine the ability and character of the young master.

In ancient China, the Jianguo basically refers to the prince's supervision of the country, which is what Gao Mo said just now, "When the king walks, the prince lives, and he supervises the country;

As far as southern Xinjiang is concerned, the master is not a king but a real king. This is undeniable, so it seems correct to regard the young master as the prince.So, I don't know the reason why the Prince Fu Jun did not follow the king's line?
According to the old slave's opinion, it is indeed reasonable for the master to impose power on the young master in order to hone his skills.However, it seems that he should not be ordered to send the army to the land where the battle has not been fought. In terms of sharpening, it might as well entrust the government affairs in southern Xinjiang, such as the system of the prince in charge of the country, which may be more effective.

Of course, is it true that there are only advantages and no disadvantages in supervising the country?Of course it is not, everything is good and bad, and the supervision system is the same.

Gao Mo himself became more and more cautious as he got older. Even though he possessed extremely terrifying power, he was often by Gao Yushi's side on weekdays, but he became increasingly reticent. He would not make any statement unless it was absolutely necessary. Task.

Huang Zhiting breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and turned her eyes back to Gao Yushi's face, hoping to see some clues from his expression.However, Gao Wushi just nodded casually, and replied: "I understand what Uncle Mo means, but if there is a prison country in southern Xinjiang, then the prison country is Zhiting..."

He paused, then looked at Huang Zhiting and said, "Zhiting, I know what you are worried about, but don't think too much about it, I don't have those worries about Yuan'er. The reason for this arrangement is because people don't mature in a day , so the exercise should be done step by step.

Yuan'er didn't talk about managing the huge southern border before, even if there were 100 people, so I let him lead the army first, and know how to command the army under the guidance of Xiner.After winning this battle, let him personally lead an army and be responsible for the reorganization of an elite army, so that he can have a deeper understanding of how to control an army.

After that, if he does everything well, I will naturally let him put it aside and learn how to run a local government.Wait until he can handle the local government affairs well, and finally let him take over from you as a mother, 'Jianguo' Nanjiang. "

Speaking of this, Gao Wushi smiled slightly: "As for military power, you may subconsciously think that it is too sensitive, but you may wish to think about it carefully, if I let Yuan'er be the commander of the Huben Army, the Huben Army will become the only one in the army." Is your fate obedient?"
