In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it has entered the autumn, but the autumn tiger is more powerful than the summer, and the ministers in the court are sweating and fighting for red faces, which is warmer than the sun outside.

Kangxi sat high on the Jinluan Hall in the Ming Dynasty with a golden dragon pattern, and looked at the ministers below with annoyance, if the ministers in the palace could not unify their thoughts, how could they talk about anything else?

"Your Majesty! The establishment of the three feudatories was born in response to the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and now that the small dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty no longer exists, then the three feudatories have completed their historical mission, so they should also be revoked! University scholar Guo Tingzuo said.

University scholar Tuhai disagreed: "The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, the small dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty is also resurrected, the world is far from peaceful, there are Zheng thieves in the east to disturb my sea frontier, and there are remnants of the former Ming Dynasty in the south who rebel from time to time, and the court still needs to rely on the princes to sweat and serve the country!" ”

Tu Hai is a scholar of the Zhonghe Temple, and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, Ma Jiashi, and a native of the Yellow Banner.

Guo Tingzuo retorted: "Today's decision, can small shrimp and small fish make big waves?" Some flea rebellions can be dealt with by the imperial court. He bowed to the Jinluan Palace, and said sonorously: "Your Majesty!" The minister thought that it was not a question of whether or not to cut the feudal domain, but a question of withdrawing the feudal domain, and the sooner the feudal domain was withdrawn, the better. ”

If the hasty withdrawal of the feudal domain will make people think that the imperial court will cross the river and demolish the river, unload the mill and kill the donkey, this will chill the hearts of the soldiers in the world, and even cause a misunderstanding to force the vassal kings, Lord Guo is willing to see the world in chaos, and the lives will be ruined?" ”

Kangxi coldly watched the battle between the two of them, rolled his eyes in his heart, and repeated the words of the previous two court meetings without any new ideas, but he did not stop it, and said: "Let's talk about it!" Let's talk about it! Speak up what you think, and be sure to come up with a result today! ”

Yao Wenran, the deputy capital of the imperial history, stood up and said: "Long live Qiyu!" The ministers are in favor of withdrawing the feudal domain, it is better to withdraw now than later, and it is better to withdraw early than later! Otherwise, the tail will not fall off, and in the end it will cause even greater harm! ”

Xiong Cixu, the head of the Hanlin Academy, objected: "The country is peaceful, and nothing is a blessing, and the Tao is just recuperating and settling." Today, for no reason, hundreds of thousands of hard-working soldiers have been relocated to poor and barren lands, hastily persecuted, and driven by punishment, which will cause resentment, arouse public anger, and even chaos in the times! ”

Yushi Mengxiong said: "Is it really too peaceful at the moment? Is it really a blessing to have nothing to do? The waves are turbulent under this peace, and there is a greater disaster hidden after nothing! The ministers are in favor of withdrawing the feudal domain! ”

University scholar Suo Etu stood up, bowed to Kangxi, and looked at everyone: "Why do you have to withdraw the feudal domain?" The reason for everyone's suggestion to withdraw the feudal domain is based on the assumption that the prince of the three feudatories will rebel, so let's think about the great contribution made by the prince of the three feudal lords to my Qing Dynasty! Jingnan Wang family: Geng Zhongming Chongzhen descended to the Qing Dynasty in six years, Chongde was named King Huaishun in eight years, and was under the Yellow Banner of the Han Army, entered the customs in the first year of Shunzhi, and entered Shaanxi with General Duoduo of King Yu, pressed Li Chuang, and went down to the south of the Yangtze River, entered Hunan, and then moved to Fujian, so far Geng Jingzhong is the third generation of King Jingnan; Pingnan Wang family: Shang Kexi Chongzhen seven years to my Qing Dynasty, awarded the chief military officer, Chongde first year Zhishun Wang, under the Han army inlaid with blue flags, after entering the customs, attack Li Chuangjun, after the attack on Huguang, Shunzhi six years to seal the king of Pingnan, conquer Guangdong, after the town of Guangdong; Pingxi Wang family: Wu Sangui Chongzhen descended to the Qing Dynasty in the seventeenth year, and the British king Azig, Yu Wang Duoduo together defeated Li Chuang's army in Shanhaiguan, was named the king of Pingxi, entered the customs to chase Li Chuang's army, and defeated Li Chuang in Qingdu with the British king Azig, and then from the Great Wall into Suide, Yan'an, attack Xi'an, Wuchang, into Jiujiang can be described as a great achievement, the results are abundant. In the fifth year of Shunzhi, the king of Pingxi moved to Hanzhong, eight years, the governor Li Guohan conquered Sichuan, nine years, divided the troops to capture Chengdu, Jiading, Xuzhou, Chongqing, and defeated the leader of the Great Western Army, Sun Kewang in Baoning, in the fourteenth year of the king of Pingxi marched into Guizhou, fifteen years under Zunyi, sixteen years, will attack the provincial capital of Yunnan, force the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty to run to Yongchang, and flee from Burma. Later, he led troops into Burma, forced Burma to sacrifice Emperor Yongli, and killed Emperor Yongli in Kunming! Will a prince like them, who has made great achievements, oppose me in the Qing Dynasty? ”

Suo Etu was the main force of the anti-withdrawal domain, and he recounted the great achievements of the three feudatories, and Kangxi Tie blushed and wanted to seal his mouth.

"Lord Suo's words are wrong! Are we now discussing the removal of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, Geng Jingzhong, the king of Jingnan, and Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan? No! We are talking about the removal of the fiefs of the three families of Wu, Geng, and Shang. Are we worried that the three princes of Pingxi, Jingnan, and Pingnan will oppose our Qing Dynasty? No! We are just worried about the descendants of the three major families, who can guarantee that the three major families will always be loyal to our Qing Dynasty? "The criminal department is still the secretary of the Mo Luo Dao.

Suo Etu asked rhetorically: "After 264 years in the former Ming Mu Palace, counting 12 generations and 16 kings, haven't they always been loyal to the Ming Dynasty?" Mu Wangfu can do it, why can't Pingxi Wangfu do it? ”

Ai Yuanzheng, the imperial historian of Zuodu, reminded: "Lord Suo, don't forget the difficulties of the Seven Kingdoms during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion during the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty, and the Jingyan Rebellion of the Former Ming Dynasty are all rebellions of the vassal kings!" ”

Suo Etu ridiculed: "Lord Zuodu Yushi! Do you know why there was the Seven Kingdoms Disaster and the Battle of the Pacification? Isn't it all caused by improper cutting and withdrawing of feudal domains? Does Lord Ai still want history to repeat itself? ”

Ai Yuanzheng was speechless, Kangxi glanced down coldly, his mood was already bad, and he wondered why Mingzhu and others, who were in charge of cutting the domain, didn't play?

The court fell into silence for a while, and the wind direction became more and more wrong, Kangxi could only point: "Mingzhu, tell me about the situation of the three feudatories!" ”

Shangshu Mingzhu of the Ministry of War stood up and saluted Kangxi, and said: "The three feudal domains have become divided, each of them has heavy troops, and it has been based on several provinces for a long time, and the two feudal domains of Pingnan and Jingnan each have fifteen military leaders, six or seven thousand soldiers in each green battalion, and 20,000 in Dingkou; The troops of the king of Pingxi were fifty-three leaders, 12,000 soldiers of the green battalion, and tens of thousands of Dingkou. The Qing court had promoted his generals to be the governor of Shaanxi, Li Benshen was the governor of Guizhou, Wu Zhimao was the general of Sichuan, Ma Bao, Wang Pingfan, Wang Xu and other ten people were the general soldiers of Yunnan, and his strength was especially above the two feudatories, and the combined forces of the three feudatories were almost half of the country. ”

The ministers were amazed, "Who else has to say?" Kangxi had a gloomy face.

Hubu Shangshu Mi Sihan made his debut: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to add!" ”

"Accurate!"

Mi Sihan said: "Yunnan Province's annual salary consumption is more than 9 million, plus the transportation of the two feudal domains of Guangdong and Fujian, the annual need is more than 20 million, and the neighboring provinces are insufficient, so they are supplied to the south of the Yangtze River, resulting in half of the imperial court's wealth being spent on the three feudal domains. Moreover, the imperial court once allowed the king of Pingxi to act cheaply, and Yun and Guidu were all controlled by him, and the civil and military officials granted were all over the place, and they were even known as the "Western Election" officials! ”

It was simply arrogant, some ministers were angry, and some ministers were even more worried.

"The minister also has a play!" Yu Shi Dong Wenji is listed.

"Accurate!"

Dong Wenji said: "On the Holy Gift, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, is proud of his power, arrogant, and arrogant, and occupies the old palace of Wuhua Mountain, the former king of Ming Gui, as the feudal mansion, increasing the luxury, and occupying the 700 hectares of the old village of the former Ming and Qianguo Gong Mu as a feudal village, and occupying the people's land; After Geng Jingzhong, the king of Jingnan, attacked the king, he sent a husband to serve, extorted silver and rice, and collected taxes in Fujian; Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, was a private salt merchant, a private market, and a private tax in Guangdong, and his son was drunk and murderous, and everything he did was illegal. ”

Later, there were ministers who came out one after another to list the evidence of the crimes of the three feudatories, including those who sued the king of Pingxi for opening mines, setting up horse markets, smelting iron, boiling salt, and minting money; There are those who sue the king of Jingnan for gathering small nights and bewitching the public; There are those who sue the king of the south to recruit traitors and spread the henchmen.

In all directions, everything proves that the three feudatories have become a separatist force, and they are ready to rebel at any time!
