I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 196 Recall Zhu Di?Proposal to cut feudal clans!
Zhu Di?

Zhu Yunzhen was slightly startled.

That's right!

It must be able to intimidate the emperor's relatives, and the generals must be noble.

Not only must this person be capable, but they must also have a special layer of identity protection.

Ordinary people, even if they are very capable, cannot resist this pressure, no matter what!
As the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang and the biological son of Empress Ma, Zhu Di's identity naturally remains undisclosed.

The majestic King Yan, who dares to put pressure on him, no matter what royal relatives, honorable ministers you have?

In terms of ability, Zhu Di definitely has this ability.

"The tax department conceived by the grandson is not the honor of the prince, so it is difficult to choose this position."

"Among the kings, the most capable and courageous are none other than King Jin and King Yan."

"How the King of Jin is, I don't dare to say for sure, nor can I recommend him."

"The poor monk has been with King Yan for many years and knows his character well."

"Although the king of Yan once planned to be the crown prince, what he did was not for his own enjoyment, but he was unwilling to bury it and wanted to leave a name in history."

"Now that His Highness Taisun is in power, King Yan's talent is far inferior to that of Taisun. It is absolutely impossible for him to seek a great position again."

"If His Highness Taisun can not abandon his past grudges and appoint King Yan as the head of the Taxation Department, so that he can have the opportunity to be recorded in the history books, King Yan will definitely fulfill his duties and work conscientiously to get this matter done."

Zhu Yunzhen was silent.

Yao Guangxiao is right.

From a historical point of view, Zhu Di, the emperor of Yongle, was by no means a person who was greedy for pleasure.

All his life in martial arts and martial arts is to prove that he is a wise master, and to mark his achievements in history.

From the emperor's point of view, he has indeed done a good job.

His civil, political and martial arts skills are all top-notch.

If he were to be in charge of the tax department, I believe he would not be corrupt, would not accept bribes, and would not be afraid of any pressure.

From this point of view, there is no more suitable candidate than him.

just.

Zhu Yunxi was not worried about Zhu Di's rebellion.

Although the tax department has great powers.

But first, this is an offending post.

Sitting in this position, all the royal family members, nobles and heroes of the entire dynasty would be offended by him.

How can we form gangs to rebel?
Second.

The first condition for rebellion is to have military power.

Therefore, since ancient times, only military generals have rebelled, and no civil servants have rebelled.

Unless the civil servants are powerful enough to control the entire court, otherwise, they can't reverse.

Zhu Di is in Peiping and is in charge of the palace guards.

He often led troops on expeditions and had a high prestige among the border troops.

With the palace guards as the foundation, a call to arms, and hundreds of thousands of border troops responding, can lead to rebellion.

If you go to the center, you don't have military power.

Then don't think about it.

If this can make his rebellion successful, Zhu Yunxuan might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.

But the problem is that when the vassal king goes abroad to seek vassal status, this is the national policy set by Lao Zhu.

It's not like he can just change it at his word.

What's more, Zhu Di's position among the nine frontier kings is extremely critical and cannot be easily changed.

Besides, if Zhu Di was transferred back to the capital, what about King Jin and King Zhou?

Will the other kings be called back?

I have to say that it is a very good idea to transfer them all back to the capital.

You don't have to work hard to cut down the feudal clan in the future.

However, can Lao Zhu agree?

The vassal system of the Ming Dynasty had serious problems and could not last long at all.

The further back, the more serious the situation will be.

It won't take many years to bring down the entire Ming Dynasty.

In the early years of Wanli, the Ming dynasty's vassal salary expenditure accounted for 30.00% of the country's total fiscal expenditure, which was larger than the national military expenditure.

The further back, the more terrifying the data.

In the end, the court really couldn't come up with the money.

The entire fiscal revenue of the whole country is not enough to pay the vassal's salary, so it can only be delayed.

But the problem is still not resolved.

Because as long as there is a tael of silver in the treasury, the prince will come to ask for his salary!
As a result, the treasury can no longer store silver.

In case of emergencies, it can only be solved by increasing the payment of salaries, resulting in frequent civil upheavals and the collapse of Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Yunxi never talked about this issue with Lao Zhu.

Because in his view, although this problem is serious, it is not urgent.

Dragging it on for a few years has no effect.

Lao Zhu designed such a vassal system because he was afraid of poverty and wanted to take care of his descendants.

If he is just an ordinary courtier and wants to be appreciated and reused by Lao Zhu, he will take the risk of trying to point out the problem to Lao Zhu.

But he is the crown prince, and sooner or later the Great Ming Dynasty will be his.

As long as it is not an urgent matter, it is not necessary to talk to Lao Zhu and ask Lao Zhu to change.

You can definitely wait until Lao Zhu dies and he succeeds to the throne before doing it.

But if this is the case, the resistance will undoubtedly be very great.

Downsizing is not an easy task.

Historically, Zhu Yunwen cut down the vassal vassal and was overthrown by Zhu Di.

Zhu Di also went on to cut down the vassalage, and the clan was actually "confined" and raised like waste, but the treatment of the royal family members was not reduced.

So that it becomes overwhelmed in the later stage.

If Lao Zhu were to change the system, it would undoubtedly be much easier.

After all, those vassal kings are all the sons of Lao Zhu.

No one dares to object to whatever a father wants from his son.

But if he inherits the throne, those people will be uncles and elders.

For the sake of stability in the government, it is enough to reduce the vassal status.

If he lowers his salary any further, everyone in the world will accuse him of being mean and unkind.

In fact, it is not uncommon for the ministers in the court to see that there is a problem with the clan treatment system established by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Some ministers had previously given advice to Lao Zhu.

But before Lao Zhu could finish his words, he flew into a rage and said: "This kid dares to divorce my family, tie him up, and I will shoot him with an arrow myself."

Since then, no one from the court officials dared to give advice on this matter.

In later generations, it will be the law established by our ancestors. Who dares to change it?

No emperor would want to bear such infamy!
Zhu Yunxuan originally thought that it would be difficult to convince Lao Zhu, so he simply postponed doing this until he ascended the throne.

It's still hard though.

But now it seems that Lao Zhu trusts him very much and entrusts him with all state affairs.

He also obeyed his suggestions.

In this kind of matter, even if he oversees the country's governance, he can't decide at will.

But it may not be impossible to convince Lao Zhu.

Let Lao Zhu come forward to solve it!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxuan made up his mind: "Okay, when Zhu Yunxuan and Chang Mao's case are settled, I will go to the emperor's grandfather to make a statement."

Going to see Lao Zhu at this time will inevitably startle the snake.

The absconded Japanese pirates completely disappeared.

Zhu Yunqi and Chang Mao must have thought that he had noticed something, and did not dare to move.

On the other hand, the construction of the new army is still accelerating.

The number of people has also expanded from the original 500 to 3000.

The guns are all replaced with rear-loading guns and fixed-loading guns in batches.

The new army is getting stronger and stronger, and when it has enough strength, it can easily sweep across the world.

It is meaningless for the vassal king to guard the place.

Zhu Yunxi was determined to solve this problem once and for all.

The vassal king no longer divided vassals, but recalled them all to the capital.

"Is this true?" Yao Guangxiao couldn't believe it.

Although he recommended it, he didn't hold out much hope.

If you really want to use King Yan, I'm afraid you have to wait for Zhu Yunxi to officially ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Yao Guangxiao recommended him at this time because he hoped to put a name in his heart first, and when he would inherit the throne in the future, he would call King Yan back to the capital from Peiping.

In this way, the last thought of rebellion and proclaiming emperor in Zhu Di's mind was completely cut off.

After all, Yao Guangxiao knew very well that if Zhu Di rebelled, he would definitely not be Zhu Yunxi's opponent.

But no matter what the other party said, he was the old master he had served, and he didn't want the other party to go to the road of no return.

Although Zhu Di should be a smart person, the possibility of this is not very high, but Yao Guangxiao also wants to add a layer of insurance.

"How can Gu be joking?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Don't worry, Gu is [-]% to [-]% sure that he can convince Grandpa Huang."

While the two were talking, Xu Miaojin walked in from outside.

"See Your Highness the Grandson."

She stepped forward to salute.

Since Lao Zhu talked with her that day, Xu Miaojin has become more polite and disciplined.

She is no longer so lively, but has become a bit like a lady.

Zhu Yunxuan glanced at her: "But what happened to my second brother Zhu Yunqi and Chang Mao?"
