Chapter 143: Cutting the Domain--- The Political Correctness of the Ming Dynasty

Wang Wen actually didn't understand whether what Zhu Qizhen said was true or false, but he knew that if he made a large-scale expedition for several years, he would not be able to support any Luchuan and any Burma.

But this idea was immediately denied by Wang Wen.

Wang Wen's opposition to the large-scale use of troops is sincere.

If you raise troops on a large scale because you oppose the vassal king's external feudalism, wouldn't you put the cart before the horse?

But there was a strong sense of distrust in his heart.

Distrust of the emperor, distrust of the nobles.

Politics, he knows it all too well. It can be said today and tomorrow, and once a precedent is formed, it can be cited below.

Opening an opening is equivalent to opening a door.

Zhu Qizhen's method, Wang Wen knows too well, because this is not the first time Zhu Qizhen has done this, and Zhu Qizhen has done this in this matter.

But although the routine is old, it can be useful.

Now that the matter of opening the sea has been brewing in the local area, when it blows to Beijing, it will probably be the time when the imperial court officially proposes to revise the exploration and cooperation trade.

Open an opening for the emperor today, and you will be able to pierce the sky tomorrow.

Today it is said that it is a last resort, and tomorrow it will raise troops for this matter.

But the people will only suffer more.

It's just that Wang Wen can't say these words, because it's useless.

Because Wang Wen opened his mouth to say, the emperor must have said that this was an expedient measure. This is the only time, not an example. As for the next example, it's a different story.

Wang Wen sighed in his heart, and said secretly: "Let's go, what if the old man gives up this official position?" Wang Wen said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Taizong is difficult to raise troops and cover the world. Xuanzong ascended the throne, and there were Han Shu people in chaos. Taizong, Renzong, Xuanzong, three generations of flattening the world's vassals, today His Majesty let the tiger return to the mountain, do you know that none of them follow Taizong's actions? ”

"For the source of the world's troubles, please think twice about Your Majesty, and ask the Queen Mother to think twice."

After finishing speaking, Wang Wen fell to his knees and couldn't kneel for a long time.

For a time, in the Wenhua Palace, the needle drop could be heard.

It seemed like everyone had stopped breathing.

The same is true for Zhu Qizhen.

Taizong's army was only thirty or forty years ago, and many people in the court witnessed the martyrdom.

Perhaps in another ten years, the matter of Jingjing will become a topic of casual discussion among civil ministers, but now it is an extremely high-pressure issue.

There are some things that can be done but not said.

There are some things that can be said and not done.

After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, because of the improper position, he never said the word "cutting the domain" in his mouth, but he really did it.

In this matter, Wang Wen opened this fig.

No matter what happens to this matter, Wang Wen probably won't be able to stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the release is the lightest.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Wang Qing, this is wrong. Zhang Zhong's compromise made it very clear that the Ming vassal king was divided into inside and outside from then on, and the Ming Dynasty had two capitals and thirteen provinces, and the feudal kings were as before, but the feudal kings who were feudal outside the two capitals and thirteen provinces had the right to lead the troops. But it is also temperate. ”

"Besides, at this time and at that time, as the Queen Mother said, there is no need to mention some old things. I even pardoned the Jianshu people, and the rights and wrongs between the Jingshu and the martyrdom will end here. ”

"I can trust your uncles."

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said: "Decree that the descendants of Jianwen's loyal ministers such as Fang Xiaoru will all be pardoned." and posthumously sealed. ”

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she frowned slightly, but sighed slightly in her heart and didn't say much.

In fact, there is one thing that Zhu Qizhen doesn't know.

During the reign of Taizu, all the princes of the vassal kingdoms gathered in Nanjing to study, but Emperor Renzong, King Han, and King Zhao were all there.

Emperor Taizu hated King Han the most, but he liked Emperor Renzong, but he disliked Emperor Renzong's fatness, but Emperor Renzong had a good relationship with Emperor Jianwen, who was only a prince at the time.

But friendship is friendship, and when it's time to start, no one on either side is soft. It's just that Emperor Renzong dreamed back at midnight, and he may not have wanted to lament Jianwen's death.

Only the Empress Dowager, the pillow person, knows.

The Empress Dowager knew that Zhu Qizhen's statement was actually a concession.

In fact, among the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, there has always been an atmosphere of sympathy for Jianwen. No matter how much merit Emperor Taizong made in his life, he couldn't wash away this stain.

Therefore, there are people running around for Xie Jin's unjust case, but no one dares to speak out about Fang Xiaoru's unjust case, but among Jiangnan Shilin, there is not no sympathy.

Fang Xiaoru rehabilitated Zhaoxue. In fact, it is a denial of Emperor Taizong. Of course, Emperor Taizong's face still needs to be taken care of, so on top of the various evaluations of Fang Xiaoru and others, he probably has to be ashamed of His Holiness.

However, even so, it is also a major positive for Southern Shilin.

The reason why Zhu Qizhen made this decision is also known. This one thing can't be stopped.

Even if he doesn't do it, the future emperor will do it.

Because among the Great Ming Shilin, many people are known as those who do not follow the Tao. Fang Xiaoru and others were loyal to Emperor Jianwen and were not wrong in Confucian morality.

If you continue to deny it, you will hurt the foundation of your own rule.

Especially now. Wenchen's power has grown and he has played an increasingly important role. Since you have to do something early, let's throw it out as a bargaining chip.

"Your Majesty." Yang Shiqi listened to Zhu Qizhen's words and immediately said.

Immediately, all the ministers below shouted loudly: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Seeing this, Cheng Guogong muttered in a low voice: "Forget it, Fang Xiaoru is also a hard bone." ”

The plan of the Jingnan group for Fang Xiaoru and others was actually not reluctant. It's just that Zhang Fu is pressing, and it's not easy to speak. After all, if Fang Xiaoru was a loyal minister, what were they?

There are some things that you can't think too clearly.

Wang Wen also knelt down, but he didn't say anything in his mouth. He knew it was useless to say anything. In the next few days, he will probably leave Jingshi.

Even the charges are ready-made, dividing the heavenly family.

Zhu Qizhen secretly breathed a sigh and peeked at the Empress Dowager, who was also looking at him, but her eyes were full of indifference.

Zhu Qizhen only felt that it was only a moment of effort, and his back was a little cold, and he was wet with sweat.

In order to put the idea through.

Zhu Qizhen made an unknown amount of preparation in his heart.

This preparation was not prepared today, but a few years ago, when I first met Zhang Zhong.

At that time, Zhu Qizhen found a problem.

Daming's foreign strategy is actually quite unfavorable for expansion. Although Emperor Taizong made a large conquest against the outside world, he obeyed the system left by Taizu verbally.

If Zhu Qizhen wants to push Daming to the extreme, he first needs a theoretical foundation.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to attack the Xiongnu in the north, and he had to first promote the Ram family and hold high the banner of great revenge. Although the feudal strategy is the crystallization of Zhang Zhong's lifelong wisdom, it is also the first step for Zhu Qizhen to become the emperor.

From today onwards, Emperor Taizu's general policy of restricting the mountains and separating the seas and listing the 15 non-conscripted countries has become the policy of internal counties and outer vassal states.

This kind of political turn, perhaps today, but more than a decade now, is not visible. But when people explore this period of history hundreds of years later, they all take this meeting as a key turning point.

That's for later, of course.

"Your Majesty." Yang Rong said: "Since you have decided to use the feudal policy, then you don't know which vassal king to guard Luchuan?" ”

It's a remark that everyone knows is nonsense, but you can't help but ask.

Everyone knows that King Xiang is in Beijing at the moment.

Who will it be if it is not King Xiang?

Really. Zhu Qizhen said: "King Xiang is my uncle, who is both long and virtuous, so I ordered King Xiang to go to Luchuan, and the army department prepared three guards. And all kinds of officials helped Uncle Xiangwang. ”

Chai Che said, "The minister obeys." ”

The Empress Dowager also said: "It is better to be sooner rather than later, since it has been decided, let King Xiang go to the army first, and the cabinet will discuss a name." ”

The main purpose of the Empress Dowager this time is to pave the way for King Xiang. Naturally, this matter has to be finalized.

Yang Rong listened, but frowned, and said: "The Empress Dowager, the minister thinks that the soldiers in the army are in danger and urgent, and King Xiang is still going after the major event is decided, and it is not too late to go." ”

Zhu Qizhen immediately understood that Yang Rong's worries were the same as his previous worries.

Sure enough, as political correctness, cutting feudal domains has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the central civil officials.
