110 Chapter 110
Fifteen years later......
-----------------------------------------------------
Many people know that before His Majesty Mingde passed on the throne, he had summoned many important ministers to the Daming Palace to discuss matters, most of them were Qingliu elders, but there was also a particularly 'out of place' lord - King Lei Jun.
It's just that most people are trying to find a way to deal with the changes brought about by the succession overhaul, so this matter has been put aside after it was discovered that the status quo has not changed.
Su Tanqing knew that this day would come eventually, but he didn't expect Wu Mingde to rely on himself so much, and he really believed that he was selfless and edicted himself to this kind of meeting.
The theme of the meeting is: What should I do if some of the tails of the big week are too big?
In fact, it is said that there are more and more benefits that can be obtained, and the emperor is slowly unable to satisfy the appetite of the lords and ministers.
With the accumulation of the material base, if the time is ripe, the Great Zhou will appropriately expand the territory.
But there are more and more people who have entered the knighthood by military merits, and those who have reached the county king are also unsealable, which is nothing, Wu Mingde is a generation of iron-blooded kings after all, and he can also control them.
However, the contradictions at the bottom have also begun to emerge slowly, and the development of transportation has allowed commerce to continue to expand, and in many places there has been a situation where the big rich man is above the government.
And these new bourgeoisie have been trying to find ways to pursue their own rights. Wu Mingde is strong and inviolable, and no one dares to be sharp.
However, people only use certain measures to stir up the mood of the grassroots, and even they themselves have lost a lot. Wu Mingde can't kill everyone.
What's more, with the increase in the size of the country, there is also a shortage of people in governance. Everyone has selfish intentions, and the faster the economy grows, the faster the changes will be.
Wu Mingde still has a lot of means, at least these things are just petty fights.
However, the aggravation of internal contradictions had to find ways to turn into external contradictions, and foreign wars began to become frequent.
Behind the victories and the return of a large number of our goods, Wu Mingde was keenly aware of the rapid growth of these expanded legions.
There was no problem when she was there, but what about after Wu Dongming took the throne? Can they be harnessed? Even if you can control it, what will you do when these people can't be sealed?
Wu Mingde was very keen, and saw the crisis of this thriving and thriving empire. But she is also just a feudal emperor, and she can see that there is no solution.
We can't wipe out all the new powers.
The domestic forces are developing, and the expanding forces are also developing, what should we do when these two forces can no longer be pressed?
Most of the people who were summoned to the meeting this time were people who had no influence and could only rely on the emperor. Of course, Su Tanqing was an exception, which led to everyone not being able to figure out what Wu Mingde meant, and they didn't dare to speak rashly.
"Since I have called you all here and spoken out about it, there is nothing to hide, just say it and speak freely." After Wu Mingde finished speaking, he reassured everyone.
"The whole world is not the king's land; The whole world is none other than the king's minister. This world is the world of the Son of Heaven, and the old minister does not feel that His Majesty needs to appease the lords. ”
"Yes." Wu Mingde shook his head, just saying this, but he didn't want to explain slowly to these old guys.
"It's better to ...... Packet? "An old man who advocates Zhou etiquette.
"Huh?"
"Before my Great Zhou, there had never been such a large territory, and it was reasonable that the king's mandate was unattainable. However, the division of feudal princes proposed by King Zhou early on can solve this matter, which shows the foresight of the Zhou system. Wechen suggested that the weekly rites should be restored. ”
“……”
This is very unrealistic, everyone knows that this is a situation where drinking water to quench thirst, and in the end it is inevitable that the country will fall apart and fall apart.
But that's not the wrong way to do it, and for now, it's a way to ease the pressure.
Su Tanqing's purpose was to make the imperial power slightly weaker than that of the bourgeoisie, and then achieve the goal of a constitutional monarchy, not to drag the huge country into a situation of warlord secession.
"Jokes." Su Tanqing opened his mouth with these two words plainly, not very angry, but the disdain in it was extremely obvious.
"You! Da Zhou ......"
"I don't want to argue with you slowly, I just know that this will tear the world apart." Su Tanqing interrupted him and said coldly.
"Presumptuous! His Majesty and the sons of the former emperor have the same blood and lineage, and they are ......"
"It's going to be on par with each other." Su Tanqing interrupted again, "Don't forget that when you seized the throne back then, someone did everything to collude with foreign clans, so what is it to fight to the death with your own opponent?" ”
There was a sudden sound of inhalation in the hall, everyone knows this kind of thing, but how to say it naked is to slap the emperor in the face.
It's just that Wu Mingde, who was gathered by everyone, didn't say anything to Su Tanqing, but asked, "What about Yi Boming's opinion?" What should I do? ”
"I don't know." Su Tanqing said this very reasonably, although just now 'he' was sarcastic.
However, this is what she created and wanted, how could she say any solution?
These old adults who didn't like Su Tanqing and didn't have much contact with 'him' were almost all so angry with 'him' attitude, but they couldn't bear to scold 'him' for being bloody in front of the palace.
Su Tanqing saw that one or two were choked by her attitude of not 'respecting the elderly', and the corners of her lips were curled very arrogantly, showing her meaning of 'If you are not happy, I will be happy'.
Who told this group of old guys not only to look down on Chengzhi Academy, but also like to criticize and secretly want to be in the bag?
Wu Mingde saw it very clearly, but he was helpless, Su Tanqing was such a personality, and he hadn't changed for so many years, so don't think about changing 'him'.
Su Tan felt refreshed when he was angry, but he should also take some 'dry goods' if he was so arrogant.
"It's stupid to divide the seals, but I can think of a good way to do it here. Wasn't the tail too big to fall off when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was there? It would be nice to weaken the grace orders of those princes. ”
"This ......" should look good, but ......
"Who doesn't know about Tui'en? Say it's Tuien...... But...... I am afraid that it is not in line with His Majesty's purpose, and it may be fearful to do so rashly. ”
Wu Mingde looked at Su Tanqing again, but Su Tanqing raised his eyebrows this time and stopped talking.
She just wanted to bring up the topic, but she didn't want to be the main promoter.
The Tui En Order worked very well during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but it was actually a pit here.
The environment was no longer the same, and at that time the princes relied on land and manpower to make them strong. Naturally, the Grace Order has a great weakening effect.
But now, resources represent more than just land and manpower. For example, technology, knowledge, connections, information, transportation, troops, prestige......
The Tui En Order can only be said to muddy the waters and temporarily weaken the influence of some people.
The purpose of consolidating Wu Mingde's rule was only temporary.
When the younger generation comes to power, the situation will be even more out of control.
These young people are more ambitious, less reverent of imperial power, have a greater appetite, are more receptive to new things and new knowledge, and will be more satisfied as their power expands.
Su Tanqing wants to cultivate these new forces, but he must not weaken the imperial power too much, and must maintain a balance between the two......
The discussion in the hall about the Tui En Order became more and more intense, but Su Tanqing, as the person who brought it up, was a little distracted.
This balance is actually quite difficult to grasp, Wu Mingde governs the country many times by relying on the image she has accumulated, such as personal charm, prestige, etc., and it is really difficult to judge the size of these influences.
No matter how wise and far-sighted Wu Mingde is, she is only the ruler of a feudal empire, and she also has her own limitations, and it is impossible to see the possible future so quickly.
So this decree is almost decided, but the details need to be discussed.
As long as everyone knows this, although there is nothing now, Wu Mingde's control over the country is also very high, but because there is nothing, how many people can accept it suddenly 'Tuien'?
There are inevitably some criticisms in the evaluation.
Then the reason is important.
Su Tanqing listened to them arguing for a long time before dropping a 'bomb' when he was almost speechless.
"Or else...... The prince succeeds to the throne? ”
The entire hall was silent for a moment, and almost everyone dared not come out.
Let the emperor hand over the authority in his hands, no matter who it is, saying this is almost like rebellion.
But Su Tanqing didn't realize anything', "It's not that you said you want a normal reason, there is no more normal reason than this."
"Once the son of heaven and a courtier, how can the new monarch succeed to the throne who does not change blood in the court, it is really a grace to have a push order, otherwise there may be nothing left."
"Besides, isn't Your Majesty afraid that the prince will not be able to control these courtiers in a hundred years? Then teach the prince well when he has the energy to teach the prince, and help her on the right track. ”
"Besides, with His Majesty's secret support, one bright and one dark, it is much more convenient to do things if you want to."
"What's more, now that the prince and His Majesty are not the first emperor and His Majesty, is there anything Your Majesty can't decide if he gives way?"
Su Tanqing said these words bluntly 'generously', no one could say that it was wrong, but no one dared to agree.
Only Wu Mingde sat on the dragon chair and thought expressionlessly.
Even if Wu Mingde believed Su Tanqing again, he couldn't help but think about what 'he' was trying to do when he heard this.
It's just that although Su Tanqing and Wu Dongming have a master-apprentice relationship, Su Tanqing is the representative of Feng Wufeng, even if Wu Dongming is on the throne, she will not get any benefits.
What's more, she doesn't need Wu Dongming to succeed to the throne if she wants any benefits, it is the same as Wu Mingde's reign.
So...... Is this really a suggestion based on this state of affairs?
Although Wu Mingde cares about authority, he cares more about the inheritance of the empire, this matter...... She wasn't as hard to accept as others thought.
It's just that...... The specifics of how to do it still need to be considered slowly.
However, no matter what Su Tanqing's purpose is, this method is really good, and it is easy to say that it is passing. Wu Mingde's heart was quite moved.
Seeing that no matter how much discussion could be discussed, these bosses were also scared enough, Wu Mingde simply scattered everyone and pondered on his own. 166 Reading Network
