After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

"As for the dynasties that enshrined vassal kings in the past, those vassal kings would all make chaos without exception."

"For example, the Rebellion of the Seven Kings in the Han Dynasty."

"However, it's only natural for them to do so." Qin Yu continued, "After all, they have worked so hard to conquer the country, and they want their offspring to enjoy their fruits.

"And it's easier for a few sons to sit in one side and keep their family."

"But such an approach is actually unreliable, and even runs counter to it."

"If you want to keep your own dynasty going forever, the best way is to be kind to the people, not to use force to coerce. A rule that is coerced by force will never last long."

"Even those vassal kings will sit on one side, endangering the emperor's rule, and finally have a counterproductive effect."

"So, sir, is he opposed to enfeoffing feudal kings?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a concentrating expression.When he divided up his sons as vassal kings, he was opposed by many ministers, but Zhu Yuanzhang acted arbitrarily and insisted on making his sons kings.

The ministers also pointed out historical lessons to him, and Zhu Yuanzhang also understood these principles, but he just didn't adopt them.

"It's not objection." Qin Yu said, "After all, everyone has selfishness. Even Zhu Yuanzhang can't be completely impartial. Why can't the great Ming Dynasty he conquered so hard be entrusted to his son?"

"We can't demand too much from others, and we can't demand others with the standards of saints."

"And regarding the vassal king system, Zhu Yuanzhang did a better job and learned the lessons of the previous dynasties. Let those vassal kings not have the power to recruit soldiers, and they will not become a threat to the court later."

"That is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention of entrusting the vassal kings is just to let his sons enjoy the glory and wealth from generation to generation."

"And also use Jin Yiwei to monitor the various palaces, just because they are afraid that they will cause chaos in the future."

Send Jin Yiwei to monitor the feudal prince's mansion?
Zhu Yuanzhang felt embarrassed when he heard this. Qin Yu knew all about his little actions?Moreover, he was dismantled in front of Zhu Di, feeling like being stripped naked in public.

"The country was brought down by Zhu Yuanzhang. It is understandable that he wants his sons to enjoy the glory and wealth of generations." Qin Yu said, "And Zhu Yuanzhang also restricted the private recruitment of soldiers by the vassal kings. When Zhu Di was the king, there were only a hundred soldiers in the mansion. Completely powerless to resist... It can be said that Emperor Zhu has done a good job in managing and restricting the vassal kings."

"Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Zhu Yuanzhang enfeoffing feudal lords. His grandchildren won't be allowed to enjoy the glory and wealth after being defeated by a bowl at the beginning?"

"As far as the common people are concerned, everyone is reasonable and can accept this. Those vassal kings can enjoy the glory and wealth forever by relying on the shade of their ancestors, but who told them to be reincarnated?"

"But the premise is not to harm the people."

"The birth and death of your ancestors only gave you the blessings to enjoy life, and did not give you the right to harm the people."

"Sir, what you said is extremely reasonable!" Zhu Yuanzhang said repeatedly after hearing this.Qin Yu's words touched his heart. The purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's enfeoffment of feudal lords was also to let his sons simply enjoy wealth and honor.

I don't want them to harm the people or the court at all.

That's why he imposed many restrictions on the princes, and even sent Jin Yiwei to spy on the news.

"Then why is Zhu Di so difficult?" Qin Yu said, "It was caused by a series of brain-dead operations by Emperor Jianwen later."

"After the death of the prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang named Zhu Yunqi, the son of Zhu Biao, as the grandson of the emperor. Later, Zhu Yunqi succeeded to the throne, who became Emperor Jianwen. In just four years, he destroyed his own country."

"How did he do it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked impatiently.

"As soon as he came to power, he began to cut the vassals drastically." Qin Yudao, "Actually, this is not necessary at all. Didn't I say it earlier, Zhu Yuanzhang has already imposed many restrictions on the vassal kings."

"The vassal king has a special organization to monitor the vassal king, and the number of soldiers under the vassal king is only a few hundred at most."

"They are not a threat to the emperor at all."

"Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted those vassal kings to enjoy their prosperity and wealth in peace and stability. As a result, as soon as you came to power, you went against your grandfather's wishes and launched a large-scale and severe campaign to cut down the vassals."

"I don't give those uncles a living at all."

"It's still the same sentence. Jianghu is not about fighting and killing. Jianghu is about people's understanding of the world."

"As for Emperor Jianwen, he doesn't understand the world at all. What does it mean to target his own uncle as soon as he comes to power? There is no sense of humanity at all."

"Why did Emperor Jianwen do this?" Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze when he heard this, "Could it be that he is the kind of person like Li Er?"

"No." Qin Yu said, "He was limped by those civil servants."

"That group of civil servants, when Zhu Yuanzhang made the vassal king, tried their best to oppose this matter. However, their opposition was useless. Later, a censor who tried his best to oppose the vassal king was killed, and they dared not speak any more."

"Zhu Yuanzhang is too powerful and they can't handle it, but they can handle the young Emperor Jianwen."

"So once Zhu Yuanzhang died, they took turns educating Emperor Jianwen, saying that enfeoffing vassal kings was the disaster of all dynasties... Youyou Qingli told us that vassal kings were the biggest scourge of the court, such as the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the Han Dynasty. So your majesty The vassal kings must be abolished immediately, lest they will cause harm to the court in the future. Your majesty, you not only want to abolish the vassals, but you also cannot give them a way to survive..."

"This group of hateful civil servants!" Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze when he heard this, "Will you fool the young and ignorant Emperor Jianwen while we are dead?"

"It's really like this." Qin Yu said, "So it is said that the literati misled the country, and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by those Qingliu. The people around Emperor Jianwen were like this, and the later Donglin nobles were like this."

"Later, Emperor Jianwen really followed their advice and severely cracked down on his vassal uncles. The king of Zhou was demoted as a commoner, the king of Qi was not only demoted as a commoner, but also imprisoned in the capital, and the king of Xiang was forced to commit suicide... ..."

"These are all Zhu Yunqi's uncles. Either they were demoted to common people, or they committed suicide."

"This also proves that Zhu Yuanzhang's control over the vassals is so strong that they have no ability to resist at all. But all the vassals who have the ability to resist will not be punished so badly by Emperor Jianwen."

"Zhu Yuanzhang prevented the vassal king from harming the court, but he didn't expect that the vassal king would be punished so badly. It must be considered a mistake."

"Those vassal kings just want to live a peaceful and rich life, why can't some people tolerate them?" Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze when he heard this.

"No way, those civil servants can't get used to it." Qin Yu said, "They opposed the vassal system from the very beginning."
