Or for the elders, or down to the South Seas.

Faced with such a choice, or such a temptation, it is said that Shi Yiwen should hesitate, but to Zhang Juzheng's surprise, Shi Yiwen replied almost without thinking.

"Go to the South Seas!"

"Why?"

Zhang Juzheng wondered, the position of the elder of the pavilion, I don't know how many people yearn for it, how can he refuse without hesitation?

"Because ......"

After a pause to meet Zhang Juzheng's gaze, Shi Yiwen said directly.

"Even if you put aside the Ming Dynasty and the world, in terms of alone, Nanyang is also the best choice, after all, "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", I am used to being a comfortable person, I am afraid that I will offend the emperor that day, and I will lose my life when the time comes, besides, this is also what my uncle wants......"

"Oh?"

Zhang Juzheng's eyebrows raised and asked lightly.

"Why is it what I want."

"Because my uncle will never be Wang Mang, but he will never be like Huo Guang, who will do his best for the Ming Dynasty, but in the end, he will die and the clan will be wiped out!"

When he said this, Shi Yiwen's heart also rose to his throat, in fact, he didn't know what Zhang Juzheng would choose, after all, people will always change, and in the face of the temptation of power, who can control it? But now, he has not yet enjoyed absolute power, and there is still room for redemption.

"...... like Huo Guang"

Although he didn't speak again, the bitterness on his face revealed Zhang Juzheng's true thoughts.

"Therefore, I went to Nanyang, firstly, for myself, and secondly, the Zhang family can have a place to settle down one day."

"Zhiyuan, you only said half of what you said, you went to Nanyang, not only for yourself, but also for today!"

Staring at Shi Yiwen, Zhang Juzheng directly revealed his true thoughts.

"What is the relationship between you and Jinshang, the old man doesn't know, but from the time I received that letter, I knew that everything you planned was not only for the Ming Dynasty, but also for the present! As long as the old man agrees to your suggestion today, he will not be confused by power in the future, and he will not dare to act easily, after all, there are dozens of feudal kings with heavy troops in Nanyang, not to mention others, even if they want to do "Yihuo things", I am afraid that it will also cause changes among the feudal domains! That's what you mean, am I right? ”

Because of the rise of the Han Dynasty "Huo Guang abolished the king of Changyi", the later generations of ministers abolished the emperor, in order to cover up their motives, often pretended to "do the things of Yihuo". Zhang Juzheng didn't know whether he would go that far, and he never thought about it, but Shi Yiwen's whimsical realized this possibility!

He might "do what Iho does"!

"Since ancient times, there have always been two sides to the theory of feudalism, one is that feudalism can be the center of the screen; The flip side of it is that feudalism leads to secession, division and war. In fact, both exist at the same time. How strong the power of the princes and kings of the vassal defense center is, how high is the danger of their secession and division! It's like the ...... of Cheng Zu back then"

After a pause, Zhang Juzheng did not continue, on this point, any official of the Ming Dynasty is very clear, so since Chengzu, it is their consensus to cut the domain.

But now, Shi Yiwen has used his whimsy to dissolve everything, and even dissolved the possibility of Zhang Juzheng becoming a powerful minister in the future to "do the things of Yihuo".

"The feudal feudal vassals of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang, so that they can stand on their own as a country overseas, just like the princes of Zhou Tianzi...... "The road is blue, and the mountains and forests are enlightened." Fu has barbarians, so as to belong to China. Not to mention them, it is my Ming Dynasty's Qianguo Gong, although entrenched in Yunnan, can the barbarians serve on the four sides, even if the emperor is far away, how dare he rebel, but Guizhou Tusi ......"

Shaking his head, Zhang Juzheng did not continue to mention Guizhou Toast, but continued.

"Dividing the feudal domains in Nanyang, they have neither the capital nor the strength to rebel, and even need to strengthen their ties with the Ming Dynasty as much as possible in order to get more support. As you said, it will take at least two hundred years for them to develop to the ability to secede, in fact, even two hundred years is not enough, just like the Duke of Qianguo, without the deterrence of the Ming Dynasty, there must be chaos, so without four or five hundred years, it is absolutely impossible to achieve secession. What's more, since you suggested following the example of the Zhou system and dividing the vassal kings into princes, then naturally you don't have to worry about them separating the territory. In this way, I am very clear that in four or five hundred years, I will sit back and enjoy the benefits without harming them......"

Because Fu Zuozhou's letter has written in detail the pros and cons of "sealing the vassals as princes", plus in the past few days, Zhang Juzheng himself has repeatedly deliberated on the possibilities. Therefore, he believes that Ewen's plan is the best choice to solve the current dilemma.

Seal the feudal princes in Nanyang, the Ming Dynasty no longer have to suffer from the burden of "Zonglu", at most, when the emperor seals the son, he needs to take out a sum of silver to send his feudal country, even if it costs millions of taels at that time, but compared to the annual expenditure of millions of stone "Zonglu" is simply not worth mentioning, after all, an emperor has only a few sons.

Moreover, the scourge of the exiles of the Ming Dynasty can also be eliminated from this time, and the kings will definitely recruit the exiles, and the exiles who may lead to civil revolt at any time will move overseas. The exiles were given land for farming, and the kings were given the population.

No matter how you look at it, it's a good thing for Daming!

And the only disadvantage is probably that Zhang Juzheng is against him.

Because the power of the princes and countries to defend the central government is completely different from the power of division and division. If a vassal state wants to divide one side or even threaten the central government, it needs to have a very strong force of its own to achieve it, but it needs much less power to defend the central government. Even their very existence is a deterrent to the ministers of the DPRK and China.

As long as these vassal states that control the three guards exist, even if they are far away in the South Seas, any ambitious ministers, any move that wants to "do the things of Iho", must face the threat of the king's crusade. One king, three guards, more than 10,000 people, dozens of princes and five, is hundreds of thousands of troops!

With such a huge strength of the princes and kings, even if the powerful ministers are in the court, the power loyal to the royal family in the court will still be the mainstream, and it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. As long as there are princes and kings, even if the ministers and ministers are in power, they don't dare to have any rebellion! After all, the world has always spoken with strength!

"And ......"

Looking at Shi Yiwen, who was silent, Zhang Juzheng continued.

"After dividing the queens, even if the old man becomes a powerful minister in the future, he can also use the deterrence of the princes and kings to remove all the potential threats of the old man to the royal family, am I right?"
