36 Brave and faithful, the little dusk
Emperor Xiang Yanran glanced at Cai He and the great eunuch, and said lightly: "What are you laughing at?" ”
The old slave thought to himself, sure enough, only the emperor can suppress the prince. If you lift weights lightly, one move will make the prince and the East Palace obedient, and they will no longer be able to jump. ”
Cai and the great eunuch hurriedly laughed.
"Sycophant, don't go and collect bamboo slips yet!"
"Yes, yes!"
Cai and the great eunuch hurriedly went down to the palace again and came up with a bunch of bamboo slips.
Xiang Yanran looked at it casually.
Seeing a bunch of vulgar political theories, what "born in adversity, died in peace", "politics is diligent, always bow to itself, and naturally worry-free." "A lot of flowery rhetoric.
The emperor was very upset.
A bunch of nonsense, nothing can be solved.
Suddenly, when he saw a volume of ""Cutting the Domain", Chao Fangzheng, the emperor frowned.
This countermeasure, as sharp as a knife, pointed directly at the disaster of the princes.
"It's the opposite of cutting today, and it's the opposite if you don't cut it. Cutting it, its counter-urgency, small disaster; If you don't cut it, it will be too late, and the disaster will be great. ”
In a word, it is better to cut the domain later than to cut the domain early!
I am willing to cut the feudal domain for Your Majesty!
Xiang Yanran showed a hint of mockery.
Those princes and kings, are they so easy to cut?
Cutting a small Marquis of the Chu Clan, taking advantage of the debt lawsuit in the Marquis Mansion and the Peace Palace, he finally seized the opportunity to cut the title of Marquis of Dusk.
As a result, it was hindered by the Empress Dowager Shen.
This cut has become a door-to-door bargain.
After the faint marquis is gone... The little dusk marquis shook his body and fled to the Pingwang Mansion for refuge.
After a whole year's hard work, I also took advantage of the situation to cut off a lonely and lonely Dusk Marquis.
In addition to the Dummarquis Mansion, who else has been cut?
It is still so difficult to cut a faint marquis, let alone cut a prince and king.
King of Wu, King of Chu, King of Zhao, King of Jinan.... These seven or eight of you are connected together, divided one side, rich in money and food, raised tens of thousands of soldiers, monopolized the land of several counties, and exchanged news with each other.
Cut a prince and king, immediately alarm a group, no need to move more than tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress?
How much soldiers and horses and treasury money and food will be lost?
I have been thinking about it for more than ten years, and I have finally accumulated the family foundation, thinking that I will stay to deal with the Huns, and I will be wiped out at once.
In the imperial court, how many ministers supported the reduction of the feudal domain? This bamboo was briefly placed on the morning court, and it was guaranteed to be sprayed to death by the spittle of the ministers, and Ling Chi was executed.
It's really a scholar's pedantic opinion.
"Inferior!"
Xiang Yanran threw this bamboo slip in the distance.
But after thinking about it, he instructed Cai He to pick up this bamboo slip back.
Although this is a scholar's opinion, it is also a rare person who dares to speak.
There are more than 100 people in the hall, and the countermeasures of the Jinling Gate Lords are all nonsense, gorgeous rhetoric, soft, light and fluttering, and none of them dare to say something useful.
There is no shortage of praises and virtues, and there is nothing to hope for them to count on.
In the future, there will really be a day when those princes will "move", and someone under them will have to do this work.
Since this Chao Fangzheng is not ashamed to speak out, he dares to write the book "Cutting the Domain", he still dares to say and act, it is a sharp knife, and it may be useful to keep him in the future.
"Change. Chao Fangzheng, excellent evaluation, etc.! ”
Xiang Yanran's face was indifferent, and he casually put this "Cutting Strategy" on the throne platform. Then he asked, "King Wu, what's the recent movement?" ”
Cai and the great eunuch bowed down, quickly revised and recorded Chao Fangzheng's grade, and replied in a low voice: "King Wu recently sent a few boxes of gold and silver gifts to the old slave... said that he hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, and he missed it very much, and wanted to meet the emperor at the palace banquet held in the first month. ”
"Oh, this King Wu is getting more and more generous. Does he miss me? Or do you want to find a chance to meet the Queen Mother and get the protection of the Queen Mother?! Can I let him enter the palace as he wishes? Forbid! ”
Xiang Yanran sneered: "But... Inevitably, King Wu was uneasy, complained about my meanness and lack of kindness, and had different thoughts.
Give him a decree back, and I will allow him and the rest of the kings to enter Jinling City to participate in the Qinhuai River Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival and have fun with the people.
After the Lantern Festival, return to the fiefdom by the same route and are not allowed to stay in the imperial city. ”
Cai and the great eunuch hesitated.
Isn't this a way for all the princes and kings to be justified and find an opportunity to get together. But the emperor ordered so and had his own ideas, so he hurriedly said: "Yes!" ”
...
Xiang Yanran flipped through other brief books one after another.
He was quite satisfied, and read it carefully several times, and it was also the "Great Unification Policy" by the master father Yan and Dong Xianliang's "Deposing the Hundred Schools and Respecting Confucianism".
That makes sense.
Great unification can solve the worries in his heart.
Confucianism and ideological unification are a good way to unify countless governance programs with chaotic ideas.
People's hearts are chaotic and scattered. The hearts of the people are united, Mount Tai moves!
However, he has been using the "Huang Lao's technique" to govern over the years, and most of the ministers of the court are also Huang Lao's ministers, who also practice Confucianism, law, Taoism, yin and yang.
There are only a handful of Confucian ministers.
In addition, the minister led by Kong Hanyou, the master of the Third Prince's Imperial History, is a Confucian master, and he is dedicated to promoting Confucianism.
In addition, Jiuqing's Taichang Lu Zi, Lang Zhongling Cui Haoran, and Shaofu Xiao Gongwang are also great Confucians. But it's hard to say how much support there is for "Confucianism".
Most of the ministers of Jiuqing are not great Confucians, and it is difficult to respect Confucianism alone.
"Dong Xianliang, Master Father Yan, excellent!"
Xiang Yanran threw these two countermeasures on the throne platform, let them go first, and then carefully pondered them to see how feasible they were.
Then, he picked up another bamboo slip.
"Banning the Private Minting of Copper Coins", Chu Tianxiu!
Xiang Yanran suddenly had a cold light in his eyes and narrowed his eyes.
This countermeasure surprised him a little.
If someone else took this countermeasure and criticized the private minting of copper coins, he would not be too surprised.
Why the Little Dusk?
Could it be that I have been sitting for a long time and my eyes are dizzy?
The Emperor took a closer look at it again... That's right, it is true that Chu Tianxiu wrote "The Policy of Banning Copper Coins", and thought about it: "Let Xiao Duhou come up, I have something to ask him!" ”
Cai and the great eunuch immediately went down to the palace and called Chu Tianxiu to the palace.
Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but be overjoyed, the emperor actually summoned him in the palace, which clearly showed that he felt that his countermeasures were too good, which was a good sign!
In the entire palace test, only the crown prince Xiang Tiange has this honor, and he went to the palace to listen to the holy words closely.
Ha!
The "excellent" of this little marquis is in hand! Wait for this little marquis to become a big official, and soar!
In the Jinluan Palace, in the envy and jealousy of the people, Chu Tianxiu followed Cai He and hurriedly went to the palace.
Chu Tianxiu bowed to the emperor and asked with a smile on his face: "The minister knocks to see the emperor!" The emperor still has doubts about the "Order on the Prohibition of Private Minting of Copper Coins", and the ministers can explain the details in detail. ”
"You've written it in detail in this book, so it's clear at a glance."
Xiang Yanran asked strangely: "I'm just a little puzzled, have you finished digging the copper mine in the Duhou Mansion?" ... So, don't want others to dig it? ”
Chu Tianxiu's face froze, full of astonishment.
Belch... Wait a minute.
What do you mean?!
What does the emperor mean is that there is a copper mine in the Duhou Mansion?
Damn, how did he not know about this.
Banning the minting of copper coins privately, wouldn't it pit the old man and the old marquis?!
Chu Tianxiu immediately knelt on the ground decisively, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the minister's nonsense is unbearable, and I ask Your Majesty to withdraw the countermeasures!" ”
Cai and the big eunuch were beside him, snorted and laughed, and couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, little dusk... The copper mine in your fiefdom has been dug for so many years, and it is estimated that it is already a waste mine, and there is not much copper to be dug up. Otherwise, he would not have owed 100,000 taels to King Ping, and he would not have been able to repay the debt. ”
Really?
Chu Tianxiu blinked, opened his mouth, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it should be almost finished, otherwise I can't be impressed!
For the sake of the official position, this daddy pit will be pitted.
Chu Tianxiu immediately stood up and said, "Actually, the minister's offer of this strategy is entirely for the sake of His Majesty!" How bad the impact of privately minted copper coins is! The emperor is worried, just because of lack of money... Aren't these privately minted copper coins robbing the emperor for money! ”
"You have entered the Pingwang Mansion as a son-in-law. Whether there is copper in the waste mine of the Duhou family has little to do with you. ”
Xiang Yanran shook his hand, his expression still very puzzled, "However, the copper mine in Ma'anshan, Danyang County, the fief of the county lord of Danyang... I think I only discovered it a few years ago. ”
"The slave also heard that the lord of Danyang County has earned a lot of copper money over the years! Most of the county lords and marquis are not as rich as her. ”
Cai and the great eunuch nodded.
Chu Tianxiu's heart chuckled, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but tremble.
Yu'er... There's a... Big Copper Mountain?
I was wrong!
Chu Tianxiu instantly fell to his knees again with a pop, and cried: "Your Majesty, the minister is wrong... The minister was deceived by a traitor before he published this book, and the whole article is full of traitorous words. Whoever goes to the book again, the ministers will not share the sky with him, eat his flesh raw, and chop his bones alive! ”
"Alright, I know what you're thinking... ! ”
Xiang Yanran waved his hand.
Cai and the big eunuch immediately recruited more than a dozen strong little eunuchs.
Chu Tianxiu, the little faint marquis who was crying and rolling all over the ground, carried it and set it up outside the Jinluan Palace, and threw it far away, which made the emperor upset.
"Heat the stove!"
Xiang Yanran was expressionless, and dismantled the bamboo slips of this "Prohibition of Private Minting of Copper Coins" one by one, threw them into the stove, and dried their hands and feet.
Alas, this winter is so cold, and there is not enough charcoal.
The princes and kings of Great Chu, the ten major gate lords of Jinling, the relatives of the Empress Dowager Shen, Queen Cui, the princes and princesses, as well as the princely mansions and county lords' mansions, including the Pingwang Mansion, the county lord Li Yu, and the Duan Hou Mansion, who has no land and no small copper mountain.
If you know that Xiao Duhou is forbidden to mint copper coins privately, I am afraid that he will tear down his bones one by one and burn them on the same day.
The little dusk marquis is really brave and loyal, and he is sincere.... No one dared to stab the hornet's nest, so he dared to sacrifice his life to stab him.
