Chapter 368: What Am I Sinting?
"Over and over again...... What to do then? ”
Even if he doesn't need Shi Yiwen to remind him, Zhu Yijun has also considered such a problem, which is what he is most afraid of, and what he is most worried about.
"Yes, I have also thought about this problem, now there is a king of Heng, in case another king emerges in the future, then ......"
Pursing his lips, Zhu Yijun's face changed slightly, and then he said sharply.
"So, I'm ready to teach them a lesson this time, maybe I can't kill them, but at least I have to lock a few people in the high walls of the middle capital......"
"What's the use?"
Shi Yiwen looked at Zhu Yijun and said casually.
"Even now they've been taught, but what about twenty years from now? Thirty years from now, forty years from now, fifty years from now? As long as someone is ambitious, the vassal king will always become their tool, and someone will always do it. ”
"This ......"
Shi Yiwen's words made Zhu Yijun a little annoyed.
"What can I do? Do I have to kill them all!" ”
"If you really kill them all, then it just saves other people's effort, don't forget that the Sima clan usurped the throne of Cao Wei, why those royal families can only watch, it is not because Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, in order to avoid the emperor's close relatives threatening the imperial power, Cao Pi not only weakened the governance of the kings, such as sending empty names, but in fact, although there is a princely name, but the nephew is a puppet, and restricts the travel of members of the royal family, which makes the kings, the most important political foundation of the Cao Wei royal family, in an embarrassing situation of completely powerless and no soldiers. Once the imperial power is in difficulty, the kings of Cao Wei can only bow their heads and wait for death, how similar is this to my Ming Dynasty......"
Although on the surface, Shi Yiwen was talking about Cao Wei, but when he mentioned how similar he was to Da Ming, Zhu Yijun was as smart as Zhu Yijun only felt a cold sweat welling up on his back.
The betrayal of Shen Xingshi and others exacerbated his sense of crisis, and made him know that "doing Yihuo's deeds" does not only exist in the history books, even if he is not a minister, he can also be implemented through some means, let alone a minister.
Does the Ming have the power to minister?
Yes!
Mr. Zhang is!
Yes, but what about Mr. Zhang? Will Mr. Zhang betray himself one day? Especially now, after the chaos of Shen Xing, Mr. Zhang is in control of the government, in case it is ......
Even in the past few days, Zhu Yijun will always wake up from nightmares, although he believes that Mr. Zhang is loyal, but believing does not mean that he will not do it, he is loyal, but what about the people around him?
What if someone puts a yellow robe on him in the future?
"Zhi, Zhiyuan, I, what should I do?"
Zhu Yijun's face turned pale, and even his speech became a little stammering, this inadvertent timidity was his true side, after all, he was just a teenager.
"The vassal king can defend the center!"
"Vassal King!"
Zhu Yijun looked at Shi Yiwen in puzzlement and said in surprise.
"Zhiyuan, have you forgotten the ...... Heng Domain?"
Because of the relationship between the Heng clan and the rebellion just now, Zhu Yijun obviously couldn't understand why Shi Yiwen would mention the vassal king.
"What is the root cause of the rebellion? In the final analysis, it is because of my Ming Dynasty's "sealing but not building". ”
Looking up at Zhu Yijun, Shi Yiwen said:
"Two thousand years ago, the Zhou people prospered in Shaanxi, entered the Central Plains to destroy the Yin Shang, the feudal princes in the Quartet, thus laid the so-called "Huaxia", the first emperor unified the six countries, the county in the Quartet, behind him the six countries of the old place became chaotic, Qin lost its deer, the world chased it. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Liu Bang also used the power of the princes and kings to control the land of the six countries in the Kwantung region. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the world was peaceful for many days, the scholars only knew the kings centrifugation, but did not know the original intention of feudalism, only knew the harm of feudalism, but did not know the benefits of feudalism, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pushed the favor to eliminate the domain, and then to the rebellion of the eight kings of the Jin Dynasty, so that the world could see the harm of feudalism, so that "feudal" became a great harm. ”
Subsequently, Shi Yiwen continued with the example of Cao Wei being usurped by Sima.
“…… Wei Xing, after the great turmoil, the people were lost, and it was impossible to start from the past. So the feudal princes all made the land empty and had no reality. The kingdom has more than 100 veterans to defend its country. Although he has the title of a prince, he is a horseman. The county is thousands of miles away, there is no court, and neighboring countries have no ambition. The princes shall not travel more than thirty miles, and shall serve the officials of the fortification auxiliary supervision state to observe them. The princes all thought about the cloth and could not get it. It not only violates the righteousness of the clan and the country, but also loses the kindness of relatives. ”
Citing Cao Wei's restrictions on the clan in the history books, Shi Yiwen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, didn't anyone learn this lesson from the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
"The vassal king shall not assist the government" seems to be a perfect solution to the threat of the vassal king to the center, but it also makes the ministers have no threat, why Wang Mang and others do their best to cut off the clan power when they usurp the throne, the fundamental reason is that the "clan and the vassal screen", with the vassal king in them, they can screen the center! ”
"But vassal kings will also rebel and cause chaos, don't forget that in the past, there were far more vassal kings in rebellion than powerful ministers usurped the throne!"
Facing the displeasure in Zhu Yijun's tone, Shi Yiwen just chuckled.
"That's because it's not a place!"
"Isn't it a sealed place?"
"Yes, there are not many people who are idle, the feudal land of fish and rice, not every feudal king is obsessed with beauty, since he is a phoenix and a dragon grandson, there is always a little ambition, and people have more natural ideas when they are idle!"
Shi Yiwen, who seemed to be joking, said to meet the emperor's gaze.
"What is my biggest emotion during this trip to Nanyang? I am afraid that it is to see the vastness of the land of Nanyang with my own eyes, and the ignorance of the natives, and naturally I also see the Westerners as if they have entered a no-man's land, and after the General Taxation Department has contacted a large number of nameless clans, I also know the difficulties of the clan, which is the case in the imperial court and the clan, and the court is affected by the "Zonglu" of millions of stones every year, and the clan is also like a prisoner. ”
"Implement a feudal policy?"
"That's right, it's to seal the vassal king to the South Seas!"
"Easy to seal the South Seas!"
Zhu Yijun looked at Shi Yiwen with wide eyes, and in just an instant, he understood Shi Yiwen's intention - to seal the vassal king far away, even if they want to make trouble, how can they make trouble across the ocean?
It's just that......
"Easy to seal the Nanyang ......"
Constantly muttering these words, Zhu Yijun stared at Shi Yiwen, he didn't speak for a long time, he weighed and thought in his heart, and said after a while.
"What sin I have to do, I will be cast away thousands of miles away."
