Chapter 406: Same World, Same Dream Xu Youzhen bowed deeply to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, the founding clan of the Tang Dynasty also had famous branch generals like Li Xiaogong, and the Guanlong Li family became a big family.
, but in the end the Tang Dynasty changed and there was no trace of the clan, so there is a lot of content here."
"That's true." Zhu Qizhen nodded: "I heard you say the day before yesterday that in the early Tang Dynasty, a number of the clan were massacred by Wu Zetian, and during the Anshi Rebellion, a number were also massacred by An Lushan, and then Huang Chao
Entering Chang'an, suppressing the military governor Han Jian and kidnapping Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhu Wen replacing the Tang Dynasty... Haha, it's true."
"At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it was required that the princes must be enfeoffed as they grew older. However, after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, in view of the rebellion of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty and the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, although the princes were enfeoffed,
The kings are all remote leaders and do not go out of the palace. They all live in the capital. It is called the Ten Kings' House and the Hundred Suns' Courtyard."
"The military commanders in the Tang Dynasty had too much power, coupled with the powerlessness of the royal family, which led to this disaster."
"Therefore, during the Song Dynasty, military generals were completely suppressed by civilian officials. It was not until the early years of the Ming Dynasty that military honors began to rise." After saying this, Xu Youzhen glanced at Zhu Qizhen and continued: "But I think
, military generals tend to be arbitrary and domineering, and support their troops with self-respect, which has been a serious problem for all dynasties."
"I understand what you mean, don't worry, soldiers will only be the Great Wall of the Ming Empire, and will never become a knife stabbing our own people. I am still confident about this." Zhu Qizhen raised his sword eyebrows and smiled lightly.
Said, but that kind of confidence made Xu Youzhen let out a long sigh of relief.
"Xu Qing, tell me, if my country is like the Southern Song Dynasty, and the descendants of the Xu clan enter the court as officials or join the army, what do you think?" After thinking about it, Zhu Qizhen raised his head again and asked.
"This... it is good for Your Majesty to have such an idea. However, among the many royal clans, will they be willing?" After Xu Youzhen thought about it, she couldn't help but shake her head secretly in her heart.
After all, it would be very difficult to change the ancestral laws, not to mention that this was a family matter involving Lao Zhu's family, so he had to be cautious.
//The fastest text update in Shumilou - no ads//"Whether you are willing or not is not up to me alone." Zhu Qizhen stroked his brows and sighed softly. "I want to establish the Ming Dynasty.
For more than a hundred years, there has been no Zhu family for the generals who guard the land and the ministers who govern the people. But I, the Zhu family, have been receiving support from all the people in the world all day long, but I have never made any contribution."
"Let's not talk about anything else. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I work non-stop every day for the sake of the people of the world. I barely have time to eat and rest. Only in this way can I feel worthy..."
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Listening to the shocking words coming out of Zhu Qizhen's mouth, Xu Youzhen could only roll her eyes, well, it was really shocking.
The emperor was complaining that he worked harder than an ox, ate less than a chicken, and was complained by his ministers all day long. The common people did not understand, and the soldiers looked down upon him. In short, Zhu Qizhen looked like he almost had a runny nose.
Tears.
Not to mention that Xu Youzhen was dumbfounded, even Wan Zhen'er, who had been following Zhu Qizhen for a long time and had become Zhu Qizhen's personal secretary, almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, and finally managed to hold it back.
His big watery eyes glanced at Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen, who finally noticed that he had lost the dignity of the emperor, coughed twice and regained his majesty as the emperor. "...As the emperor of tomorrow, I still have to set an example. Do they, the descendants of the clan, have such a clear conscience?"
?”
"Your Majesty's words are very kind." Xu Youzhen couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and she bowed her head to Zhu Qizhen. Yes, Zhu Qizhen, the wise and powerful emperor, really caught the key point at once. Think about it,
As an emperor, you have to work hard for the people of the Ming Dynasty and shed your heart and blood in the hope of making the lives of the people of the world peaceful and prosperous.
And what about those clans? They have completely become a bunch of worms, making no contribution to the country and the people. Instead, they spend a lot of manpower and material resources to support them. Why? At least compared to Zhu Qizhen, the supreme leader of the Ming Dynasty.
Comparing the two aspects of His Majesty, Zhu Qizhen naturally stood at the highest point of morality.
As a result, there is really no clan king in the world who dares to jump out to express refutation to Zhu Qizhen for this reason.
When the ministers learned the news, they were naturally overjoyed. After all, being able to get a large amount of food and taxes from the clan was another great opportunity for them to increase their reputation. Although this
This time, instead of forming a group to defeat the emperor, we formed a group to defeat the clan. Well, although the effect was a little worse, it was not at least much worse. It will definitely be recorded in the history books in the future.
On the clan side, most people strongly objected, or in other words, were extremely unwilling to have their salary and salary reduced by Zhu Qizhen, a shameless and prodigal emperor who forgot his roots, even if it meant losing one son.
But the problem is that the clan of the Ming Dynasty no longer has the right to speak between the government and the public since the Yongle period. It may be that the clan of the Ming Dynasty has lost its due power due to their own reasons or the methods of the former Yongle Emperor.
Have the right to speak.
But after seeing the past and current position of Zhu Qizhen's half-brother Zhu Qiyu, I thought about it, maybe it's not such a bad thing, not to mention that Zhu Qizhen even made a big hit.
Meat buns make those clan children who are not the eldest sons salivate. Think about it, although there are quite a few of these clan clan children who eat and wait to die.
But the problem is, they can't live without living and waiting to die. After all, there were ancestral instructions that the children of the clan cannot be the same as the four common people, that is to say, they cannot be officials, farm, do business, or work.
What else can that person do? Eat, drink, poop and sleep every day? Over time, even a person who was originally full of talent will become full of fat.
But after all, everyone is passionate, especially the young generation, especially those who know that in the future, they will only be able to receive a salary that is just enough to live on, so it is better to make a fortune. After all, if it is really
He became a famous official of a generation, and that is something that can be passed down through the ages.
Although the descendants of Lao Zhu's family have never been officials or engaged in business, they still read books. It can be said that they all have the same dream and the same world as ordinary scholars.
It's just that those possibilities that some people can realize, but they can only imagine in their dreams. But today, Zhu Qizhen gave them a chance.
Therefore, the younger generation of clan members and the older ones formed two factions, one opposed and the other in favor. However, Zhu Qizhen simply ignored their voices because he knew very well that these things must be done by himself.
In a word, if I, a sensible time traveler emperor, don't cut off the roots that will affect the future of the Ming Dynasty, will future generations understand the importance of these things better than myself?
By the time they really find out, the matter will probably be out of control.
