Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

"Don't move around, get over here!"

Zhu Di was a little annoyed, "Your father and I only have such a small family fortune, so you have to give me a clean sweep?"

Seeing the truth, he was a little terrified. Seeing King Qi's behavior, he clearly wanted to pack up and take away all the things in Qianqing Palace except the jade seal!
All the beams and pillars were removed and put back together!
Zhu Gaoxuan clicked his tongue, waved to the eunuchs and said: "Okay, then move these away first, you send the things back to Prince Qi's mansion first, be careful, I will come back tomorrow, and move them one by one. "

Hearing that King Qi would come to move tomorrow, Zhu Di almost couldn't sit still and fell to the ground.

Zhu Gaoxuan sat back at the table, and said cheerfully to the old man: "Father, you also know that our Duke Qi's mansion is poor, so asking you for relief, isn't it too much?"

Zhu Di was startled, wondering if what you, King Qi did, was called relief?
You have robbed my Qianqing Palace!
Zhu Di said with a dark face: "I've been robbed all my life, and this is the first time someone else has robbed me. Today I'm leaving my words here. If you don't leave something dry, you won't be able to walk out of the Qianqing Palace today." .”

Is the old man so easy to grab!

In his whole life, he robbed the world and land. A sparrow flying past his eyes would leave a handful of bird feathers. Emperor Jianwen would obediently call out the throne when he dangled in front of him. He never thought that he would be robbed when he was old. one day.

Zhu Gaoxuan looked innocent: "Father, didn't you ask me to take it?"

"I let you take it, I didn't want you to sweep it up!"

Zhu Di got angry, "I know your head is full of crazy ideas, today I have to pry something out of your head!"

Seeing that the old man was serious, Zhu Gaoyi quickly said: "Father calm down, I know that I will answer everything, you should calm down first, come here, drink some tea and let me go."

Seeing King Qi being so attentive, Zhu Di calmed down a little, but when he was looking for the teacup, he was stunned: "Bastard, where is my teacup!"

Zhu Gaoyi calmly took out two blue and white teacups from his sleeve and placed them on the table.

Zhu Di laughed back angrily: "Your sleeve is a treasure bag, how many things it took away from me!"

"Not much, not much."

Embarrassed, Zhu Gaoyi took out a blue and white teapot that matched the blue and white teacup from his sleeve, and beckoned the eunuch to come over and make tea.

Seeing Zhu Di's complicated eyes, Zhu Gaoxuan quickly changed the subject: "Father, although the second child's rebellion has subsided, it also wakes us up."

Zhu Di frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Zhu Gaoxuan said seriously: "This time I sent troops to Shandong to suppress the rebellion. The King Qi of Shandong is in Qingzhou, and he is still in charge of a Qingzhou Guard, but from the beginning to the end, this Qingzhou Guard has never appeared on the battlefield."

Zhu Di snorted coldly, and said, "King Qi is such a bastard, it's not too much to kill him a hundred times for the nasty things he did. Back then, I wanted to kill him. Fortunately, this bastard repented and was imprisoned in Jinling City." He has performed well these years, and he has not made any serious mistakes since returning to Qingzhou, so I forgive him."

Zhu Gaoxuan said: "Father, think about it, King Qi belongs to the group that has a very good relationship with the court, because he knows that his background is not clean, so he is honest. But during the counter-rebellion this time, Qi Although the king did not help the king of Han to cause chaos, he also never helped the court from the beginning to the end, what do you think this means?"

Zhu Di said: "It's just that he doesn't want to get angry. He's been doing well in Qingzhou. As long as he doesn't do anything, he can make King Qi's blood last forever by being a waste in the palace. Why bother to get angry."

Zhu Gaoyi smiled and said: "Since he is already useless, why should we keep him?"

Zhu Di said in surprise: "The court has always supported the vassals."

Zhu Gaoxuan said: "It's always been like this, right?"

Zhu Di was silent, and he suddenly realized that his thoughts were stuck on a fork in the road.

Everyone is used to the fact that the suzerain is a waste.And the imperial court supported these wastes, and everyone was used to it.

Since they are wastes and are of no use to the imperial court, why do you keep them?
Because it has always been.

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Do you want to take this opportunity to get rid of the feudal lord?"

Zhu Gaoyi shook his head: "It's not about getting rid of it, it's about treating it in a different way. The imperial court has no obligation to raise waste."

Zhu Di sighed: "Now is not the time, fourth child, you are too impatient."

Zhu Gaoxuan asked back: "Father, you won the world with martial arts. The imperial power is concentrated in your hands, and the power is no less than that of the founding emperor. My current dynasty is also based on martial arts. There are Annan, Jianzhou, Gaoli, and Yingzhou. The four provinces are used as support, you need money and money, you need people, you have soldiers and soldiers, you and my father and son teamed up, we even have more control over the court than grandpa, if this is not the time, then when is the time, if there is anything, it is you and my father and son teaming up If you can’t do it, how can future generations do it?”

What King Qi said pierced Zhu Di's heart.

He knew that what King Qi said was correct. Since ancient times, the power of the emperors of dynasties has been inferior to each generation, and the same is true of the Ming Dynasty.

The founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the three major murders of Hongwu caused the world to flow into rivers of blood. If other emperors were in power, uprisings would have erupted long ago. The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to sit firmly on the throne was because everyone was afraid of him.In the world that Zhu Yuanzhang conquered by himself, the military power is in his hands.

If it was Zhu Yuanzhang who wanted to cut down the vassal, who would dare to say no?

Emperor Jianwen didn't see his own strength clearly, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to move the knife before he had reined in the power left to him, and then he was gone.

When Zhu Di came to power, because he was born as a rebel, his right to speak was actually not much worse than Zhu Yuanzhang.

For the same reason, if Zhu Di moved the capital, if Emperor Jianwen did it, the whole country would be against it.

And for the emperors after Zhu Di, the alternation of power was not as good as one generation after another. At this time, Zhu Zhanji could still control it, but when it came to Xiaozong and Wuzong, he almost posted "I am a puppet" on the emperor's forehead. the note.

Even though Jiajing, a wonderful woman, used miraculous tactics to gather the imperial power once again, but after his death, the imperial power passed away rapidly, just like the Yellow River breaking its embankment and being out of control.

Zhu Di, who had simulated the Ming Dynasty's national fortune from prosperity to decline to subjugation, understood this truth very well, but he was still unwilling to face this fact.

The fall of the imperial power means that there will be party disputes, and the more intense the party disputes, the faster the country will perish.

No matter how prosperous the dynasty is, it will not be able to delay the fate of extinction.

Zhu Di was a little confused: "Could it be possible, is there really no other way?"

What he said is actually saying that the Ming Dynasty cannot escape the fate of subjugation if it is difficult for it to come true.

Zhu Gaoxuan sighed: "Throughout the ages, have there been any dynasties that have stood upright? It's nothing more than which country is longer and which country is shorter. Father, you and I are the papermakers of this empire. Where there is weakness, make up for it. No matter how many people there are, there will be a day of leakage sooner or later, all we can do is to make this day of leakage come later."

If it was Zhu Di when he first came to the throne, he would definitely say in high spirits: "If you don't know life, how can you know death? Heaven is the creator of fate, and I am the one who makes fate!"

However, Zhu Di, who was in his old age, felt a little powerless in the face of the tide of fate. After a long time, he said with emotion: "In the fluffy hemp, if you don't support it, you can straighten it. The white sand is in nirvana, and it is black with it."

When cloudiness becomes the norm, sobriety becomes the crime.Some people think that everything can be manipulated in the palm of their hands because they are too transparent, and the more familiar they are, the less afraid they will be.Some people see through the ever-changing world because they live too transparently, knowing that no matter what they do, there will be no change, and they feel the paleness of ordinary people.

Zhu Di said: "The vassal kings have already been abolished. With your intelligence, it is not difficult to guess that even after thousands of years, these vassal kings will not be able to fight against the imperial court, so why bother to eradicate them?"

How arrogant and uninhibited the vassal kings were during the Hongwu Dynasty. The most vicious ones who fought against foreigners in the Hongwu Dynasty were not the generals such as Xu Da and Lan Yu, but the Sai kings who held the military power and guarded the border. In the future, they will fight against aliens all the time.

However, after the Jianwen and Yongle dynasties cut down the feudal vassals, Jianwen shattered them, and Yongle shaved them off. Now the vassals are no longer as fierce as the Hongwu Dynasty, and there are only a group of lying on the palace to eat and wait to make children. waste.

Zhu Gaoyi sighed and said: "Father, you really haven't been a minister in the household department before, so you can't understand the account. The vassal kings are not rebelling now, they are making money!"

Zhu Di was a little displeased: "How much expenses do these feudal lords have in a year? Our old Zhu family has fought all their lives. Can't the Zhu family enjoy it?"

Zhu Gaoxuan nodded: "Yes, you are right. Judging from the present, the vassal kings can't add up to much money. We support them, but you have to look at the future. After I get married, I don’t do anything and just give birth at home, it’s too much to give birth to, it can bring down the Ming Dynasty!”

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment: "I'm afraid you don't have too much water in your head and grow moss, can the feudal king eat up the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Gaoxuan was a little helpless: "My grandfather set the rules at that time. The vassals received salary from the imperial court every year, the prince was [-] shi, the county king was [-] shi, the general of the town was [-] shi, and the general of the auxiliary country was [-] shi. Eight hundred stones... to the least Fengguo lieutenant, there are two hundred stones of rice. Once married, the gift will be given every year, and it will be the same as that of the native daughter who is married. The eldest son of the county king, who is the king of the county, will be rewarded at the age of [-]% compared with the first-time king of the county."

Moreover, according to this rule, the suzerain and vassal do not fold banknotes for real objects, that is, they only have the original color and folded color, that is, they either take silver or grain, and they will not use worthless real objects, or print out copper coins that no one cares about in the market to pay.

The meal ticket that the vassal asked for from the court is still semi-permanent. The son of the prince, the eldest son is still the prince, and the other sons will be demoted to the county king.The same is true for other ranks, which are all inherited by the eldest son, and the sons are downgraded by one rank, and it continues until Fengguo Lieutenant receives a salary of two hundred stones.

To put it simply, once a prince is named, the title will always exist, unless it is passed down to any generation, no matter whether the eldest wife or the young lover get together, a son will not be born, that is, there will be no offspring.

Therefore, the vassal kings desperately gave birth to sons. First, they had nothing to do, and second, they were afraid that their titles would be revoked by the court.
