Chapter 245: Storm (2)

"Only conspiracy?" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "I'm sorry, but I'm not bad!"

Ling Han put down the teacup, stood up and said seriously, "In the past, Emperor Wu of Han recommended the order of kindness and conspiracy, why don't the emperor follow the example?" He said, and took two steps forward, "If my son of the Prince of Ming Dynasty was conferred the title of the prince, the court will no longer give land to him.

The population is divided from the original prince's fiefdom. One prince's three sons are the three sons who share the prince's fiefdom equally!"

As he said that, Ling Han smiled and said, "If this is not the case for ten years, the vassals of the kings will be destroyed in name only. It is easy for the court to cut it off and it will never pose a threat again!"

Zhu Yunxiu paced several times in the warm pavilion, frowned and pondering.

"Actually, someone told me about this open conspiracy you mentioned in the past."

"who?"

"The late Grand Secretary, Liu Sanwu, the secretary of the Secretariat!" Zhu Yunxi sighed and said, "When I was a teenager, I once talked to the emperor's grandfather. The emperor said that the purpose of enthroning the vassal kings was to protect the center and resist the enemy.

At that time, I asked, if the kings were restless, who would resist?"

As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu smiled bitterly again, "At that time, the emperor was silent for a long time, and his eyes were a little complicated and difficult to describe. Then he asked me, if there were really bad behaviors in the vassal kings, what should I do? I can only say that I am ignorant of my heart and respect him with courtesy.

Yes. If any vassal king is wrong, I will not kill him. I will change his name to inherit the title. The emperor's grandfather was very happy when he heard this. When Liu Sanwu was beside him, he told me this open plan to refute him.

.”

"Liu Zhongshu is indeed far-sighted and knowledgeable!" Ling Han nodded.

"But after thinking about it, the former Han Dynasty's favor was used on my court, but there were still some medicines that were not right! It was not a cure for the symptoms!"

"How could it be?" Ling Han asked in confusion, "This is an open conspiracy..."

"Listen to me first!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "First of all, Emperor Wu of Han's order of grace was achieved because the order of grace was finally fulfilled after the rebellion of the Seven Kings. The vassal kings headed by King Liu Bi of Wu were killed by the central government.

.The vassal states in the world have no military power, and the kingdoms and counties are no different."

"Under this situation, the kings of the Han Dynasty could only pinch their noses and accept the order of refusal, and they had to follow it if they didn't follow it!"

"But what about my Ming Dynasty? You also said that the emperors can be strong for their strong soldiers. My favor made them enter the left ear and exit the right ear. What would the court do if they do? What would the final result? I am afraid that there will still be a big fight and the soldiers will rise up!



Speaking of this, Zhu Yunqiu sneered, "At that point, I will naturally not be afraid, and the court will not be defeated. But the people who are suffering are not the people? Once the war begins, thirty years of hard work will be turned into ruins, and we will start over again.

.”

"Besides, I don't have ten years to slowly weaken them. There are a few decades in this life, and I can do more in this ten years. I don't think it's time to waste it on the kings.

worth!"

"It is good to give favor orders, but it is difficult to do it when facing my uncles who hold real power. Moreover, in the favor orders, although the vassal kings have lost their real power, they are divided like ordinary families, but they still enjoy wealth and honor.

The people are supported!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxiu looked at Ling Han seriously, "I have always kept my words in my heart. Today I just told you, "I just told you, "I'm just talking to you!"

Ling Han knew in his heart that if he hadn't left, the emperor wouldn't have said these words to him.

"In my heart, don't say that my vassal kings of the Zhu family are supported by the people of the world. Even my own son will not be able to lie on the credit card of glory and wealth." Zhu Yunxiu said solemnly, "The title of the national dynasty will never be reborn again."

Following the old path of hereditary replacing, the prince is awarded the title of prince, and the prince's son has no great contribution to the country, and the Duke of Zhenguo will be over!"

"And there will be no actual fiefdoms and vassals, and there will be no military power. If they want to take power, their only way out is to seal it out."

"How to seal it out? The descendants of the Zhu family should be an example in the world and devote themselves to the military to expand territory. If he has the ability, he will give him the territory he has captured. If he is not capable, he will just live in the capital and wait for his life to die."

"The fief of the twenty-first uncle Han is in Goryeo. The son of the fourth uncle, the former Prince Gaoyang, went to Myanmar. In the future, more royal children will be like this. The world is not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the land is still there. It depends on whether they have the ability to do that.

!”

"This..." Zhu Yunsheng's words made Ling Han dumbfounded.

It took me a long time to come back to my senses, "In this way, I will continue to conquer and use troops to the outside world for years."

"What are you afraid of when fighting? I, the Zhu family, isn't this brilliant Ming Dynasty just taken down?" Zhu Yunsheng smiled, "Every year, prisoners who commit crimes and those who are guilty can enrich their military power."

"In this way, wouldn't there be more countries in the country?" Ling Han said, "If the royal family is enthroned outside the Ming Dynasty, it will be easier to be divorced from our Ming Dynasty?"

"Haha!" Zhu Yunxi laughed, "The country in the country? You also said that the royal family has endless descendants. How could I allow them to grow bigger outside? How could the territory they have built is cheaper?"

"The military expenses of war were lent to them in the name of the national treasury. The court sent officials to govern their fiefs, immigrated and reclaimed land, and used taxes to pay off debts. Every time a territory was captured, the court set up counties and counties, and the military and government were separated, and the feudal land accounted for only a small number.

.Besides, the supply of wild lands needs to be dependent on the Ming Dynasty for decades."

"In the final analysis, the royal children who were enfeoffed are all rootless people, so how could they become a country in the middle of the country?"

Ling Han was silent again, his heart was in a mess.

"The reform of the royal family titles is also a two-pronged approach to the outside world." Zhu Yunxi continued, "My benevolence is to use it internally, and to the outside world to dominate it. The royal family was the pioneer of the Ming Dynasty's territory."

Ling Han continued to remain silent, and after a while, he looked up and said, "It's not that the old minister is pedantic, but after all, it's going to kill people when fighting!"

"The dead are all outsiders, so why not be afraid!" Zhu Yunxiu sneered halfway, "It is better for outsiders to cry than for our Ming people." As he said, he sighed, "Actually, I am also a stupid method. There is only so much land in the world, even if there is no one.

The vassal kings occupied it, and after decades of peace, land annexation is inevitable. The stubborn disease of the dynasties in history lies in the land. If the world is in peace and stability, the people must have their own land."

"It is not only a way out for the royal family, but also a last resort for the people who have lost their land in the future."

Yes, land is the fundamental problem.

Without land, there will be no hope. In the wild land, as long as there are people, they will become rich and abundant.

Although Ling Han did not understand Zhu Yunxi's most fundamental thoughts, he understood the most important point.

That is to deal with future contradictions, transfer the contradictions of the empire outside the empire's homeland, and reduce the pain and pressure of the empire through expansion and immigration.

Compared with the various consequences caused by land annexation, such things are actually the most time-saving and labor-saving, and the least expensive. He is a person who has experienced the war years and knows how terrible that wave that swepts everything is.

Tens of thousands of people can sweep thousands of miles and turn the fertile land into white land. If you calculate carefully, the cost of spending is not as good as one-tenth of the damage.

After a long time, Ling Han sighed, "I am old and can't keep up with the emperor's ideas. The emperor is still far from seeing. I am worried about it!" As he said, he smiled, "Don't worry, my words will be rotten in my stomach today. ”

"Since I told you, I can trust you!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

"If the emperor really trusts me, can the Jinyiwei in my family be removed?" Ling Han suddenly asked, "Is it inappropriate to have a few Jinyiwei in my family?"

"You..." Zhu Yunxiu paused, but he didn't expect that the old killer had just come to say this.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was choked, the old man Ling Han seemed to be in a good mood and stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, I will leave!"

~~

"This old man is leaving and wants to say a few more words to me!"

Zhu Yunxiu looked at Ling Han's back outside the window and smiled secretly in his heart.

Then, his eyes became a little sad.

He watched the old man walk outside the Ganqing Palace and looked at everything around him with nostalgia.

His eyes swept across Gong Yu's roof and swept over the red walls and golden tiles.

"I have been away from common people to important state officials for more than fifty years!"

Ling Han sighed in his heart and looked at the scene around him, "Fifty years!"

Then, he turned to the Ganqing Palace and bowed solemnly again.

Then he got up, his hair and beard flew in the wind, and he strided outwards.

The pace is so fast that I can't tell that I look like an old man in my twilight years.

"Come!" Zhu Yunxiu spoke in the warm room.

The turtle came in from outside, "Long live the emperor!"
