Chapter 239: Collecting the net (3)
The emperor's treatment of his subjects is actually similar to his parents' treatment of his children.
Too many ministers are easy to raise tigers and become powerful ministers. If you are omnipotent to your children, you should ask for anything to give them mountain to be afraid that you will raise a rebellious son.
There are many examples of this in history books, such as rebellious sons and powerful ministers in the country.
"Don't worry, Ling Aiqing, I am kind to my ministers. First of all, the virtues and talents of this minister are worthy of my kindness to him. If you are stupid or have ulterior motives and utilitarians, I will not pay attention to it. Not only do you ignore it, but you may also have an attack!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled and supported Ling Han and said softly.
At this time, Ling Han, who had completely lost all worries, suddenly had an iron cerebral disease.
He looked straight at Zhu Yunxiu, "The emperor said this differently!"
"Did I say it wrong?" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.
"Which is worthy of the emperor's reputation as the emperor's humerus, since the emperor ascended the throne, he has always been given a favor and has a superior status. He has made several mistakes and has been gently exposed. What kind of virtue can he be?" Ling Han said bluntly, "But since the emperor ascended the throne, he has always been rewarded with grace and a high-ranking minister. He has also made several mistakes lightly. What kind of virtue can he be?"
"This..." Zhu Yunqiu was speechless.
The little emperor had a thin face and was so directed by the old minister, he couldn't hold back his face. But Ling Tietou obviously didn't mean to stop, and his words became more and more sharp.
"There is also He Guangyi, the commander of the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei was originally a slave to the emperor and did shameful things." Ling Han continued, "Everyone in our dynasty is good, but the Jinyiwei supervises all officials are a bad policy. The officials in the past dynasties include Dali Temple and the Censorate. The Jinyiwei reported the news and exclaimed the crimes and made alarmist statements, and they did everything they could!"
"How broad is, although he is in the court, he is actually an emperor's hawk. The emperor promoted him out of order, making him jump from the emperor's eyes and eyes to the court minister, and then he has a single position as the Integrity Yuan outside the six ministries. Why do the emperor, who is not upright in his heart, be with the ministers and participate in state affairs?"
His words were more than just sharp, and he just pointed at Zhu Yunxi's nose and said, "Who do you trust?"
Even if Zhu Yunhuang knew the old man's temper, he was very angry.
This is what the Ming Dynasty did, when scholars and officials were regarded as a character for the emperor. If it were in the Qing Dynasty, they would have been sent to Ningguta and the leather armored people as slaves.
"He has retired, don't bother with him!"
Zhu Yunxiu secretly calmed down and nodded, "I have recorded my words in my heart." As he said, he changed the topic, "I want to go back to my hometown to retire, when will I set off? I will send someone to escort!"
"Is the emperor trying to chase people because the old minister said something unpleasant?" Ling Han looked at Zhu Yunxi directly.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxiu was so angry that his chest was blocked.
"Where, I'm not sure when I will return to Beijing next day. I want to say a few more words to you..."
"The old minister will continue to make noises." Ling Han said.
"Okay!" Zhu Yunxiu's temple jumped and said with a forced smile, "But there are still things that are not at ease? Well, let's say it out! Today, you and I will meet with you and my king and minister. I also want to hear the heartfelt words of you, an old minister!"
"The old minister's words are all state affairs!" Ling Han replied toughly, "Before the old minister's meeting today, he thought backwards and had something unpleasant in his heart. If it were something else, he would be foolproof as a god-man. However, this matter is related to the etiquette and law of the Ming clan, and it also involves the reputation of the emperor, so the old minister must not refuse to say it." As he said, he paused, "That is, the old minister has become a commoner since today, and he dared to speak out in a blunt way. He had many concerns before and did not dare to discuss it!"
Zhu Yunxi's expression became solemn, "Are you going to say... kings?"
"Yes!" Ling Han said, "When this dynasty was founded, the ministers opposed the system of feudal division of the Supreme Emperor. However, the founding lord of the Supreme Emperor was strong and strong, and ordered all the ministers to dare not to obey. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty prince divided the feudal divisions and guarded various places, had the power to command troops and dispatch officials, and had the right to intercept taxes and rule the feudal territory. His vassal areas were even more of the country."
Speaking of this, Ling Han sighed, "The rebellion of the seven kingdoms of the Han Dynasty is vivid in my mind, and the state is like this. If this continues, it will not be a blessing for the country."
"The disaster is far from this. My Ming Dynasty's kindness is far beyond all dynasties. The prince's legitimate son is the prince, the prince's legitimate son is the king, and the prince's legitimate son is the king, and the prince's legitimate son is the general of the country, and they are all hereditary."
"The prince's annual salary is 50,000 shi of rice, 25,000 stag, and countless silk and cotton utensils of various colors, as well as tenants, craftsmen weaving, horse-raising and herders, etc. The rice in the fields and grains of rice in his name are not handed over to the court, and they are kept for their own use."
"Every time I am granted a king is equivalent to giving up the essence of the land in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and giving it to him. The royal family below the county and princes will also be granted the population of the farm so that they can enjoy glory forever!"
"At this time, the royal family of the country's dynasty has few people, and the troubles are still shallow. But the children and grandchildren are endless, and one day the country will be difficult to bear! Even if we can promote the power of the world, it will be difficult. But if we really support the royal family and the family, how can the people in the world make a living?"
Zhu Yunxiu listened quietly, and the old man said it to his heart.
Many ministers who agreed to his reduction of the vassal states saw only the existence of the vassal states as a threat to the center. Ling Han saw the same concerns as Zhu Yunyu, about the future finances of the Ming Dynasty.
This is true in history. Thousands of descendants of vassal princes overwhelmed the country. Even in the late Ming Dynasty, half of Zhongzhou was in the hands of vassal princes. In other words, most of the fertile land in the province of Central Plains was under the name of vassal princes.
Dragon sons and grandsons have become borers of the country and greed becomes nature.
I have to admit that this is the most wrong decision of the old man in his life.
Because his family was destroyed when he was young, there was only one nephew and one nephew left in the huge family. In addition, he only had three men, which made him pay special attention to family affection and bloodline. But to be fair, it was still wrong.
"The old minister said that these are not a big deal!" Ling Han sighed and continued, "Even if we don't talk about these worries decades later, we will say that now, the kings are strong and strong, and they are mostly illegal in private, and the emperor is young and the kings have long become wings. I am afraid that they will take the center seriously, right?"
Yes, these vassal kings now look well-behaved, but in fact, it is because Zhu Yunyu, the emperor, has not yet harmed and deprived them of their fundamental interests.
Once their fundamental interests are damaged, it is difficult to guarantee whether they will really have different thoughts. At that time, the contradictions are irreconcilable, and the final result will be wars.
It’s not that there is no such possibility, nor that there is no such risk. Just like the Jingnan Campaign launched by Zhu Di in history, it was actually the final result of the struggle between the Ming vassal kings, Emperor Jianwen, the Huaixi Military Group and the civil servants.
"The old minister knows this, and you know it well. You have already made a conclusion on how to deal with these vassal kings in your heart!" Ling Han said a lot, picked up the cold tea and took a big sip, and continued, "How to weaken the vassal kings, the emperor's plan must be more detailed than the old minister thought, but the old minister still couldn't let go!"
"I'll listen carefully to you when I'm planning the country!" Zhu Yunxiu spoke slowly, and then exchanged Ling Han a cup of hot tea with his own hands.
Ling Han like a treasure, holding the hot tea in his hand, "Old minister hopes, the emperor, don't be too hasty!" As he said, he smiled, "My China has always been like this. Once it becomes a regular rule, it will be difficult to change it. Too much hasty will only backfire."
"And, the kings are the emperor's uncle after all. If their methods are too impatient and fierce, they will inevitably make future generations complain. Besides... the kings may not be soft persimmons."
"I don't care much about fame!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "I have said before that if I pretend to be confused for fame, then I, the emperor, will be a fool. On the other hand, if I can really benefit the people of the world, what if I bear some infamy?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxiu smiled again, "Besides, whether I cut down the vassals or restricted the vassal kings, it is a dignified and open plot. It is different from Emperor Taizong of Tang killing his brothers. Later generations can also understand my good intentions!"
