Chapter 2687 Ten Volumes 75 No.600 in 1 Years

The emperor withdrew his gaze and looked at the clan princes and civil and military ministers who were kneeling on the ground in front of them.

These people are the court of the entire Qing Dynasty!

They seem to be expressing their love for the owner of the dog and the horse, and they seem to expect him to give up the throne after he is a hundred years old.

Regarding the words of returning to the crown prince after 60 years in power, he has said it too many times in the past few decades. After the day when I ascended the throne 61 years ago, when I came to officially announce the crown prince, these clan princes, ministers of civil and military affairs, all knelt down on the ground together, begging him to take back his life!

——It turned out that this pass was ten times more difficult than he had imagined.

There was no wave on his face, but he still sighed inwardly.Perhaps it is because there has never been a great abdication in the history of the Qing Dynasty;

Or even throughout the ages, except for Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun in ancient times, the inner Zen that was carried out after the unification of China was counted forward as Tang Gaozu Li Yuanchan surrendered to Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Tang Ruizong Li Danchan surrendered to Wu Zetian, Tang Ruizong Li Danchan gave up to his son Tang Xuanzong Li Longji...

Then, before and after the shame of Jingkang in the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong gave up to his son Song Qinzong...

Counting from the present, the most recent abdication was 500 years ago; if we talk about the abdication during the Great Unification, the most recent abdication was 670 years ago.

It's been too long, so long that today's ministers can't accept it, they can't understand it.

What's more, the reasons for those abdications in ancient times can be summed up as a kind of power and position change that had to be done during the country's extraordinary period.

But at this time, the Qing Dynasty was unified, and it was not a time of civil strife, war, or separatist regimes. He gave his great inner Zen to Xiaoshishi, which was different from the previous times.

Therefore, the princes and ministers cannot accept it, and it seems to be reasonable.

But he knew in his heart that the reason why they dared to use the name of "common sentiment" to beg him to take back his order after he had already understood the decree... This was inseparable from the fact that Xiao Shiwu was born in Jiu'er!
He has been in power for more than 60 years, how can he not understand that the biggest problem in the prosperous age is the explosive growth of population.The population of banner people is increasing day by day, and the support system for banner people, one of the foundations of the Eight Banners system, is an indelible law of the ancestors, so this has formed a huge financial burden.

Although he knows most about the alimony expenses of the banner people in the important places of the imperial court and the Ministry of Internal Affairs every year, every time he sees that huge number, he can't help but be startled!
This problem became more prominent as he got older.

But this is related to the rules of the ancestors and the foundation of the Eight Banners system, so even he is hindered in every possible way and it is extremely difficult to improve.

——He reused Heshen because Heshen was almost the only one who was good at financial management among this group of emperor's close ministers.

Therefore, he understood that if such a huge burden was just handed over to Xiao Shiwu... what would Xiao Shiwu do?
He was originally a child of half Han blood, and he was the first monarch in China in more than 600 years to obtain inner Zen in the prosperous age of great unification. He was under a lot of pressure, but he had to shoulder such a heavy burden of supporting the bannermen. burden to...

You call this child, what can he do by himself?
And once there is a problem with the support of the bannerman, the clan and princes will immediately jump out and attack his half-Han blood, and what a disaster it will be then!
