The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 152 Master Ye taught Zhu Yuanzhang how to use bad government, and discussed the relationship between Zhu Biao's death and the success or failure of cutting down the vassal!

"What do you mean?"

"How dare you say that the descendants of His Majesty are all unfilial descendants?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked straight at Ye Qing, although he tried his best to suppress his anger, there was still some imperceptible anger in his eyes.

And his imperceptible anger can never escape Ye Qing's eyes.

Not only would Ye Qing not be angry, but he was also very happy. After sitting down, he took the chair with him and moved it to the opposite of Master Guo.

He deliberately leaned forward, looked straight into the eyes of Master Guo in front of him, and said seriously and responsibly, "Have you heard the story of "Nine Sons of the Dragon"?"

"The eldest brother is obsessed with music, the second child is fond of killing and fighting, the third child laughs at the wind and loves danger and hopes, the fourth child likes to scream and roar, the fifth child likes to be quiet and hates to move, the sixth child likes to carry heavy loads, and the child Qi Bi is good at litigation and martial arts, old eight is good at writing all his life, and old nine Chi kisses are good at swallowing all his life!"

"The nine sons of a dragon are all different. The Son of Heaven calls himself a real dragon. Naturally, this is the same reason. How can they all be the old seven?"

"Maybe, most of the children born are vengeful vengeance, not necessarily!"

"You"

Zhu Yuanzhang was really about to explode with anger, he just felt a fire smoldering in his chest.

But at this moment, Empress Ma immediately said: "Lord Ye is right, how can all sons and daughters be up to date, there are always some sons and daughters with low moral character, not only the common people's family, but also the emperor's family."

In fact, when Queen Ma heard these words, she was also very angry.

Which parent would be happy to hear someone say that their children are born full of vengeance?

But what if you are not happy?
This is the fact that history has proved countless times!

How did the story of the dragon giving birth to nine sons come about?

Isn't it just to describe that brothers and sisters have their own strengths and weaknesses?

Ye Qing just looked at Empress Ma and gave her a look of 'you're still sensible', but what he thought in his heart was 'I thank you the fuck, I will find time to speak up'.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing no longer paid any attention to Mrs. Guo, who would spoil his good deeds, and continued to attack Master Guo in front of him: "Look at your prospects, you are not as quick as your wife."

"It's true that you are a fan of His Majesty's brains, and I can praise you as loyal as a little brainless, but that's the truth."

"The more offspring your Majesty has, the greater the probability that he will create unfilial offspring."

"Ten sons and two unfilial descendants, not many!"

"Two hundred years later, there will be 200 million descendants of the Zhu family and 100 unfilial descendants, not many at all. These 20 unfilial descendants are enough to overthrow Ming Dynasty."

"I just told you that if your Majesty's enfeoffment system continues like this, it will not only destroy Daming, but also the seed of his old Zhu family!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was about to explode.

This is too much, too alarmist!
Not only the death of Daming, but also the seed of his old Zhu family?
Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his anger, gritted his molars and said, "Master Ye, your words are too alarmist. You said that there may be one million descendants of the Zhu family by then."

"Even if there are 100 million pigs, it is very difficult to kill them!"

In Empress Ma's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang was really sitting there, and his whole body was stiff.

But Ye Qing moved the chair again, the two faced each other, only separated by a distance that could stab each other to death at any time.

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang, whose eyes were already sharp, Ye Qing not only did not back down, but also had a posture that he would never give up until he was declared a winner.

Ye Qing said seriously and forcefully: "Then the officials all over the country hunted and killed them, and the people all over the country also chased and killed them?"

"This"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened in an instant, and he just stood there in a daze.

He didn't believe that his enfeoffment system would cause such misery to the old Zhu's family. How much enmity was there to bring about the ending of killing Zhu by all the people?
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe it, Ye Qing took advantage of the victory and chased after him: "Master Guo, is your majesty's salary very high for his son?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Of course, even if you are the emperor, you can't let your children and grandchildren live well?"

"Your Majesty started as a farmer, or a tenant farmer with no land at home. His parents and elder brother were all starved to death in the early years."

"He himself was hungry. If it wasn't for his stutter, he would never have become a monk or a beggar."

"Let's not talk about your Majesty, even a poor and frightened commoner will treat his children and grandchildren twice as well if he gets rich. This is human nature!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he not only felt that he should, but even felt a little wronged.

If he can't give his descendants some benefits after becoming the emperor, then he will be too wronged.

Ye Qing did not refute, but continued to ask: "Does Your Majesty give low salaries to ministers and workers who are not descendants of the Zhu family at all levels?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard such a question, he felt a little guilty again: "Except for the extra rewards for the founding heroes, it is really not high!"

Ye Qing immediately said unceremoniously: "That's it, these princes and grandchildren were born in golden nests, and those who have no chance to be emperors can only stay in the fief honestly and carry on the family with peace of mind."

"Although these vassal kings can't leave their fiefs casually, they have great power in their own fiefs. No matter what extraordinary things they do, no one dares to control them."

"Things like robbing civilian girls are nothing more than trivial matters to them. If it doesn't make too much noise, no one will dare to take care of it."

"Think about it, an official who has studied hard for many years before becoming an official, works hard day and night for the old Zhu's family, and the salary he gets is not enough to support his family!"

"And these royal families, lying down and occupying so much wealth, can people not be jealous?"

"Can the people who have been exploited for a long time not hate them?"

"It's good to be able to survive, if there is some kind of natural disaster."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, even if he didn't want to accept it anymore, he had to accept it.

If you still don’t understand after all this has been said, either you really have a problem with your head, or you are deliberately pretending not to understand.

Zhu Yuanzhang just sighed and said, "Lord Ye, stop talking, we understand."

"Yes!"

"If the king of this old Zhu family is sealed up like this from generation to generation, sooner or later Daming will be destroyed, and the seed of the old Zhu family will also be destroyed."

Ye Qing looked at Mr. Guo who seemed to have realized something, and felt a little unexpected. He had already talked about this point. Isn't this Zhu Yuanzhang's brain fan blowing up?

According to common sense, even if he told ordinary people that his descendants would be ruined, he would have to work hard!

He, Ye Qing, didn't think at all that this person seemed to have realized something. What he thought was that he would return to Beijing when his popularity exploded, and he said directly to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Master Ye said that not only your Daming will perish, but also the old Zhu's family will perish." kind'.

In this way, his death decree will come soon!
It's a pity that this person doesn't play his cards according to the routine!

Thinking of this, Ye Qing also felt that it doesn't matter, anyway, he has a unique move that will definitely make Zhu Yuanzhang kill him.

Since this person is still a bit savvy, he will reluctantly teach Zhu Yuanzhang two tricks through this person!

Just when Ye Qing was planning to do so, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "But if you don't become the king, how can your majesty centralize power so quickly?"

Ye Qing just smiled lightly and said: "Who says you won't be king anymore?"

"Your Majesty's enfeoffment system is very correct and brilliant, and it is also a step that must be taken under this situation!"

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma and Mao Xiang looked at him, it can be said that they were all the same, and they all felt baffled.

Just now he said that the enfeoffment system would destroy Daming and cause the old Zhu's family to perish. Now he vetoed what he said on the spot?

Before the three could react,

Ye Qing stood up again, walked to the gate, looked at the sky in the direction of Ying Tianfu, and continued to point Jiang Shan: "What is policy?"

"Policies are not static, and there is no one that is always correct, only one that is tailored to the circumstances!"

"For now, the enfeoffment system can quickly regain the actual control of the territory, making the imperial power absolutely above the prime minister's power."

"Because His Majesty is the founding emperor of Wu Ding Tianxia, ​​even if his sons are ineffective, as long as he is still alive, no son will dare to be a rebellious son!"

"But once His Majesty is gone, the enfeoffment system will become a bad government!"

"Death is like a lamp going out. The so-called ancestral precepts really don't work for living people. When the time comes, whoever rebels will be separated from the regime. The dead Zhu Yuanzhang can't stop it."

Zhu Yuanzhang just gripped the armrest tightly, as if he was treating Ye Qing as an armrest, wishing he could crush it.

But the only thing he can do now is to temporarily hold back for the next answer, and at the same time, silently record Ye Qing's crime of "dead man Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth and mouth"!
But he also had to admit that this eloquent Mr. Ye really made a lot of sense.

If you really don’t want to admit it, you have to admit it. Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, also left his ancestral precepts. Didn’t there also be the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion later?

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about it, Ye Qing continued: "There are only two ways to prevent the enfeoffment system from becoming a bad government!"

"First, leave the problem to the kings of later generations to deal with, that is to cut down the feudal clan!"

"But whether the king of later generations can succeed in reducing the feudal clan depends on luck!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately nodded in satisfaction and said, "His Royal Highness is wise and decisive. He not only has the means of His Majesty, but also the benevolence of the Queen. It can be said that the advantages of both His Majesty and the Queen are combined."

"Not only that, in the eyes of the younger brothers, he is not only a big brother, but also a half-father like a father's elder brother, and he will definitely be able to easily cut down the feudal clan."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang drank tea comfortably, because in his opinion, it was foolproof!

Not only did he feel safe, even Empress Ma and Mao Xiang felt safe, and they both picked up the teacups!
But when they just started drinking tea, before they could swallow it,

Ye Qing suddenly faced them, and said in a low and serious voice: "Then what if His Royal Highness dies before His Majesty?".
