Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 237 Chapter 237 I’m really scared!

Li Jinglong was stunned by Wang Buli's question.

He calmed down for a while before speaking: "How could you see through my settings so easily?"

Wang Buli:? ? ?

"Of course my idea is for a targeted group of people, and I have to spend a lot of money to find a storyteller with good oral skills. Who else would experience this if you are not a pervert?"

After a moment of silence, Wang Buli finally spoke:

"My young father-in-law, you are indeed one of the best business geniuses in the world. This crazy idea is so stupid that I don't know how to evaluate it. I can only look forward to the results."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Li Jinglong put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly.

In the past, he was suppressed by Wang Buli's sexy tricks and couldn't hold his head up, but today he finally overcame him.

The excitement on Li Jinglong's face did not diminish.

Even though he didn't realize it at all, playing Guan Yu was purely for his own enjoyment and not for the enjoyment of others, but he still enjoyed it and felt that he had made great progress.

The root cause of the chaos in the Seven Kingdoms was that the emperor was unkind and unkind, and did not know how to harmonize the nine tribes.

As long as you, the emperor, do not cut down the vassal vassal easily, how could they rebel?
Zhu Di's action to dissuade the emperor made Zhu Yuanzhang convinced of this. If the emperor did not reduce the vassal, how could the vassal king openly rebel?

The important responsibilities of the Ming Empire in the future will have to fall on people like you!
Wang Buli waited for Li Jinglong's laughter to stop before speaking:

After all, the person who got married married a princess, and in short became less free.

"it is good."

"I've been collecting taxes and killing people these days. If I have time, I'll stop by your place and see how much your Guan Yunchang performance has improved."

He easily deposed the princes' lands, which led to war, and he warned the prince Zhu Biao to treat the vassal king well.

It was not that Lao Zhu didn't know the disadvantages of enfeoffment, and he used the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms of Han Dynasty to test Zhu Biao.

And in order to prevent the feudal kings from rebelling, Lao Zhu really instilled in them the model of a good king, and at the same time vigorously cultivated their military skills.

Because he didn't want his sons to become people like Chen Shubao and Li Houzhu.

It's a pity that this kid hasn't come back to his senses until now.

Because Lao Zhu himself believed that his theory was okay. Although he had adopted restrictive measures on the kings according to the ancestral teachings of the Emperor Ming Dynasty, and the news that his son was not a human being spread to his ears, he was still angry. The enfeoffment system has never wavered.

Not only did he want the people of the world to function according to the four people he set, but also his sons. The position of emperor could only be from the lineage of Prince Zhu Biao.

Unless there is force majeure!

But Lao Zhu used his own theory to educate his son. The chaos in the Seven Kingdoms was definitely not caused by the shortcomings of the feudal system, let alone the fault of the Seven Kingdoms as the Confucian officials said.

After all, winter is coming soon, so it's normal for Ye Qinhuai's business to drop, and everyone is less willing to go out and have fun.

Anyway, no one can take away the title of Cao Guogong. As the emperor's white glove to make money, it is obviously impossible to say that he is not trusted.

Li Jinglong originally went to the county government to look for him today. Hearing that Wang Buli had gone to the palace, he waited for him on the road.

After bidding farewell to Li Jinglong, Wang Buli saw that it was still early and had no intention of going to the county government office. It was considered a holiday after completing his political mission.

Even if he is also a relative of the emperor, the palace is not something he can just go to.

How to make Li Jinglong unhappy?

The "Fan Ping Imperial House" was Zhu Yuanzhang's ultimate intention to enfeoff.

Li Jinglong looked at Wang Buli walking slowly and thought to himself that he was really too kind.

Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Di in the fairyland using the slogan "Qing Jun Side" and became emperor, although he was a little surprised, it was generally in line with his expectations.

In the third year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu carried out the first major enfeoffment, which made it clear that enfeoffment was a plan for the long-term stability of the country. History should be used as a guide to punish the shortcomings of isolation in the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Zhu Biao said that the problem occurred in the Seven Kingdoms.

Wang Buli looked at Li Jinglong who was looking up to the sky and laughing wildly, and his heart burst into laughter.
It would be great if the young master doesn’t study military affairs and concentrates on developing new brothel routines.

First, for the purpose of defending the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Mongolia has not been eliminated and has always been a threat to the Ming Dynasty.

As for the second oldest, third oldest and fourth oldest, Zhu Yuanzhang still has a focus. The palace guards assigned to them are all veterans of hundreds of battles.

At the core of his philosophy is a political program.

Third, it cooperates with the abolition of the prime minister system and prevents powerful ministers from controlling the government, so the kings are given the power to "clear the emperor's side".

Zhu Yuanzhang established a feudal system and enfeoffed various kings.

Second, out of the practical need to transfer military power, he transferred the military power from the heroes and generals to his sons, in order to prepare for the execution of the heroes later.

If he waits for him to get married later, he may not be able to go to Ye Qinhuai freely in the future.

Lao Zhu believed that the emperor's son must have military capabilities, but disdained writing and writing, so Lao Zhu didn't care at all that Zhu Di and others were semi-literate.

This can also explain that when Lao Zhu saw Ye Boju's ten thousand-character letter of advice, he was so angry that he thought he had alienated the royal family, and directly took him to prison and starved to death.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still studying the matter of setting salaries for his descendants.

Because Zhu Di's actions further verified the success of his political vision.

Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that the kings could serve the people diligently, be cautious in cultivating their moral character, and serve as vassals of the country forever.

Among them, the second king of Qin has the largest number of troops, with 19,000 men under his command.

Li Wenzhong, Duke of Cao State, was ordered to select the best soldiers from Shaanxi guards as the guards of the Qin government. The most important point was that the selected soldiers must have no criminal record.

Moreover, these escorts were able to go to the battlefield immediately when they were pulled out. When Lao Zhu sent people to conquer Yunnan, he directly pulled away the 6,000 troops from the Chu Palace.

When the three kings of Qin, Jin and Yan grew up, Lao Zhu mostly asked the princes and princes to listen to them in border wars and served as their subordinates to practice their commander's abilities.

Of course, before Lan Yu was about to be executed, barbarians from the southwestern part of Sichuan were in rebellion, and the King of Shu had to obey the orders of Lan Yu, Duke of Liang.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also set a rule: Every army should have its own affairs, which should be reported to the court, informed by the king, and kept in the order forever.

The kings not only had great military power, but also had the power to control the chief secretary.

This is also Lao Zhu's more subtle secret move.

These vassal kings were the emperor's local spokespersons, preventing local forces from becoming stronger and colluding to deceive the court, which was in line with Lao Zhu's intention of enfeoffment.

Moreover, Wang Buli's family is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty Law.

Zhu Yuanzhang clearly defined the scope of the "family of relatives" as follows: the queen, the imperial concubine, the concubine of the East Palace, the princess, the concubine of the county, the consort, the Yibin, the Duke of Wei, the Duke of Cao, the Duke of Xin, the Marquis of Xiping, and the Marquis of Wuding.

These families are all relatives, and if they commit a crime, they will be brought to Zongzhengsi for questioning.

Lao Zhu was in the middle of his meditation when he suddenly entered the fairyland.

This time, he didn't watch any film or television work, but a booklet appeared in front of him.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very excited. This was the first time he could touch the books in the fairyland.

So he stepped forward, opened the booklet, and read it carefully.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

The actions of these Ming princes involved all aspects and can be roughly divided into six situations.

Killing, taking wealth, and abusing soldiers and civilians.

The most vile nature, such as King Zhu Gui, who often kills people and robs wealth, is still good at three melons and two dates, and Guan Jian is not short of money to spend.

What's more, they committed the crime in a fucking gang, with their own sons holding big sticks and hiding axes and hammers in their sleeves, beating soldiers and civilians one after another.

The main theme is a person who has fun hurting others.

This son is just over two years old now, and his biological mother is Guo Huifei, the daughter of Guo Zixing.

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma loved Zhu Gui very much and took great care of this adopted sister.

So Zhu Gui is so naughty?

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little unbearable when he saw the record at the beginning.

But when he saw that the second one had to go first, and the third one didn't give in, his expression became even more gloomy.

The names of the fourth child and others are not found on it, and then there are the actions of his unborn children.

Because the subsequent sins are not excessive.

Such as insulting court officials or royal officials, overriding and interfering in local areas, selfishly making seals, and iron plates that open city gates at night.

In dealing with foreign vassals, he overstepped the boundaries in terms of etiquette and secretly built a temple in the palace to worship his father, the great ancestor.

After all, ancestor worship is not something that a descendant of a side branch can organize. Looking at the records one by one, Zhu Yuanzhang's veins jumped.

He originally thought that the emperor was unreliable enough, but he didn't expect that these vassals were even more misbehaving, even more outrageous than the emperor!
What we are looking at in the front is the history of the vassal king's misdeeds, and what we are looking at further back is the history of the suffering of the descendants of the Zhu family.

Because Zhu Di was the vassal king, he began to impose great restrictions on the vassal king to prevent anyone from taking his way out.

Since I have been caught in the rain, I will simply lift all the umbrellas so that none of you can hold an umbrella.

In other words, regardless of personnel, inspections or justice, the feudal king did not have any substantial power over the royal officials.

In contrast, after Zhu Di's deliberate change, the imperial court gave the royal officials the power to monitor the vassal king and the royal palace, encouraged the royal officials to report, and suppressed the vassal king.

This resulted in the fact that although the royal official was called an official of the feudal king, his actual status was higher than that of the feudal king, creating a situation in which the name and reality were inconsistent.

The phenomenon of royal officials "bullying" vassal kings was inevitable and occurred frequently.

Even Xuande's younger brother was bullied by his servants and wanted to commit suicide. When the court found out, King Liang wrote a letter exonerating his servants, which made Xuande furious.

He believed that the younger brother who had been bullied by this man was coerced even to write a letter, and his daily life must be extremely miserable, so he sent someone to be the one who fell into the trap.

The situation of humiliating the king can be imagined.

But the good thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang did not see any historical data about his descendants selling Gouzi.

Since the Masanori Dynasty, Zonglu has become an important financial expenditure, and the Chief Secretary of the feudal government has defaulted on Zonglu.

The imperial court collected fewer and fewer taxes, and more and more vassals needed to be supported.

Regarding the issue of how to reduce Zonglu's expenses to ease the financial burden, scholar-bureaucrats and officials during the Jiajing Dynasty came to the public to make suggestions one after another.

Among them, some people boldly proposed to lift the vassal ban, that is, to let them work as scholars, farmers, industry and commerce to make a living on their own. In this way, the court and the clan would be in a dilemma.

During the Wanli period, the clan encountered greater difficulties, and many people could not receive Lumi.

Many lower-level clans cannot survive on their own, so two suggestions are made.

One is to listen to the nameless and noble clans who are engaged in agriculture, industry and commerce.

The second is to order all those with literary talents in the clan to be promoted to official positions. According to the example of the royal appointment, those who are not appointed as Beijing officials will not hold military power.

However, there are always officials who don’t want to push for this.

They took out the ancestral precepts compiled by Zhu Yuanzhang and said that the laws of the ancestors could not be violated.

The "Ancestral Instructions of the Emperor Ming" contains some provisions that restrict the excessive expansion of the kings' power, but there are absolutely no provisions that restrict the clan's freedom of entry and exit, freedom of communication, and participation in politics.

The vassal ban policy was mainly formed in the Yongxuan period after the Jingnan period.

The Ministry of Rites was not unaware that it was a common practice of Ming Dynasty officials to use "Ancestor Instructions" to discuss matters. It was intended to express that the vassal policy had been implemented for more than a hundred years and was deeply ingrained and difficult to change.

Of course, some officials also considered it from practical considerations. The Ming Dynasty sects and vassals were located in various parts of the country, and the situations during the period were very different, making it difficult to unify them. If they did not calmly discuss the situation of each case, they might be shocked and resentful.

The most important thing is that the lifting of the ban is a change to the clan system, which is of great importance. The Ministry of Rites does not dare to take responsibility for fear of being blamed for rebellion.

They insist that since this shit mountain is still running and has been running effectively for more than a hundred years, we should not change the code casually.

After changing the code (policy), it is still a question whether Ming Dynasty can run peacefully.

Once something goes wrong, who will bear the blame?

Anyway, I am here to make money as an official, not to take the blame.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang turned back, the more frightened he became.

Because he thought that his descendants would not starve to death without having to work.

But what was recorded in this booklet surprised him.

By the late Ming Dynasty, the imperial court was unable to collect taxes, and the vassal king's ancestry was in arrears.

The main lineage of the vassal kings is better off, and they can live a life of wine ponds and meat forests. They are kind-hearted, so they help one or two of their poor relatives.

But there are so many poor relatives that many lower-level clan members have no names, go begging for food, and even take the initiative to go to jail just to eat.

Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears when he saw this.

How could it become like this?
We have made a plan to prevent future generations from starving to death and living a life of begging. How come some of them are still living the miserable life of their ancestors!
In the end, many members of the clan actually joined the rebel army, shouting slogans such as "eat his mother, wear his mother's clothes," and "will not pay for food when King Chuang comes", and together they overthrew the rule of the Ming Dynasty, which made Zhu Yuanzhang not know what to say.

When Zhu Yuanzhang read this pamphlet, he was gritting his teeth and scolding his children and grandchildren for not living up to expectations. When he read the book, he was filled with tears and full of doubts.

How could they end up in such a difficult situation?
The starting point of our policy was excellent, but why didn’t it develop as we expected?
After Zhu Yuanzhang's yellow robe was added, something must have "deteriorated", but he didn't realize it himself.

When the First Emperor was visiting Kuaiji, a motorcade passed by, and Xiang Yu said to the crowd: "He can take his place!"

This sentence has appeared in the minds of Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, and Zhu Yuanzhang.

There are many rebels in history who were close to success, but Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one who ended up not ending, because Zhu Yuanzhang was the one who changed the least among his kind of rebels.

Apart from Lao Zhu's bloodthirsty temperament, he is actually a very frugal person, and he is not just pretending. He is used to being poor and is difficult to change.

And his idea of ​​an old farmer has not changed at all. As long as he is frugal enough and leaves more wealth to future generations, he will be even happier!

Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and others deteriorated very quickly, but it was Lao Zhu who took the lead in frugality and curbed the trend of luxury.

Without him, I would be really poor.

For the sake of his descendants, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want his descendants to live such a miserable life anymore, so he wanted to give his descendants a better future!

Now Lao Zhu looked at this thin book and cried for a while.

How can they have a bright future?

How come I can’t afford to support our children and grandchildren with the huge wealth I finally accumulated?

Where has all the food gone?

Where did the money go?
Zhu Yuanzhang was certain that silver mines must have been discovered in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Logically speaking, there should not be a shortage of money.

But the court had no money, the clan had no money, and the government could not collect taxes.

Is it possible that there will be a major disaster every year?
But if this were to happen, the people would have rebelled long ago!

Who took the money?
The moment the tears fell, the group he distrusted the most immediately came to mind.

That's the civil servant!
They used their hands to steal all the money that should have belonged to our Ming Dynasty and the rations of our descendants to Tan Mo.

But that was more than a hundred years after the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to kill so many civil servants.

At the same time, it also made him clearly aware that his own ancestral precepts would set a huge shackles for future generations, and those civil servant groups would have ancestral precepts to restrict the actions of future emperors.

Lao Zhu wanted to take a closer look at the thin booklet, but as soon as the screen turned, he saw Wang Buli skiing there.

After returning to reality, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were red, and he finally felt that his own worries were actually a bit useless to future generations.

He wanted to keep things simple.

Everything has two sides. You can't just think about the side that's good for you and forget the side that's bad for you.

Zhu Biao was standing by his side at this time. Seeing his father's expression, he probably didn't see anything good.

So he quickly poured herbal tea for his father to relieve his anger.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang finally said: "Biao'er, are we wrong in our ancestral precepts?"

"what?"

Zhu Biao stared in disbelief, because he had heard that his father was very proud of this matter before.

With the existence of this ancestral precept, it would be difficult for future generations to be deceived by their ministers.

Could it be that in the fairyland, he saw something bad about this ancestral precept in the future!
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly told Zhu Biao about the ineffectiveness of the vassal king and the misery of the descendants of the clan in the late Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao was even more at a loss after hearing these words.

In this way, the starting point for setting policies with his father was completely different.

"Dad, this matter needs long-term consideration!" Zhu Biao quickly enlightened his father.

"Yeah, we have to think about it in the long run."

Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his tears, feeling exhausted mentally and physically. If this continued, he would worry every day, not knowing how long he could carry on the high-intensity work.

Zhu Biao was secretly stunned. This time he didn't catch up to take a look in person. It was too sudden.

However, Zhu Biao couldn't think of any good solution for his father's description.

Especially such secret matters must not be revealed to outsiders.

Even if I ask Zhu Biao, I don't know how to ask, lest others see through it and think that you, the prince, are not normal!
