Chapter 35: The Prosperity of Three Generations (First Update, Asking for Support)
(Today's three watches!) Ask for support! )
The Rip Sect is for the princes!
It's really daring.
At this moment, Lu Liuliang even had the idea of standing up and reprimanding Ye Shizhi loudly.
After all, since the Qin Dynasty, the idea of "great unification" has long penetrated into the bones of the Chinese people. And now Ye Shizhi's suggestion is to "rip the soil".
At this time, Lu Liuliang even had a feeling that he even doubted whether his initial choice was right or wrong.
The Qing captives entered the prison, the clan was sluggish, and the power was lost, so that the world was quickly occupied by captives!
It is this kind of lesson that makes Lu Liuliang and Gu Yanwu and others the same, are supporters of separation, of course, their ideas are different, but they generally follow the principle of division in the early Ming Dynasty, and it is also said that "only the lords are not near the people, and the feudal domain is not given land", the vassal king only led the troops to be stationed to guard the central government, but in order to prevent the feudal and feudal kings from making rebellion, they also made some improvements, and they even borrowed from the Manchu Qing Dynasty's "Mancheng", but the "Mancheng" they conceived was a feudal city, and there were three guards of the royal palace stationed in the feudal city.
But in any case, the drawbacks of this kind of feudal defense cannot be concealed.
On the one hand, there is the history of cutting the feudal domain and the martyrdom, and on the other hand, it is the reality that the Qing Dynasty was captured and invaded, and the clan was unable to defend the country.
It is precisely because of this that the imperial court has been arguing for three years on the matter of dividing the feud, but has not come to a reason, and now, Ye Shizhi's proposal to split the earth for the princes made Lu Liuliang angry, but it also made him see a possibility while calming down.
Since ancient times, it has been a double-edged sword to seal the land and liehous, even if it is their own clan, the same. Those who support it feel that it can be in the center of the screen and have the role of sealing the feudal domain and defending the country. Those who oppose it see it as a cause of division and war. The vassal king can dominate the central screen, but how strong their power is, then how dangerous they are! If this is not the case, how can there be the difficulty of becoming an ancestor?
In this regard, Lu Liuliang and all those who support the division can see it very clearly.
The feudal system of three generations is a last resort, after all, at that time, it was just a world of famine, and the voice and religion were not understood, each king had its own king, and each had its own son. The implementation of the sub-sealing system is naturally suitable.
Therefore, even if the idea of "great unification" for thousands of years made him resist the Split Soil Clan as a prince, but he had to admit in his heart that this method was indeed the best policy - the vassal kings who were sealed overseas, even if they had soldiers, were powerless to divide them. Because they have more challenges within them – the local people, and they have to educate the people in order to stabilize the interior.
He even thought of the Duke of Qianguo in Yunnan, if there was no Duke of Qianguo to seal Yunnan, then how could Yunnan become a province of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately, in the end, the Duke of Qianguo and other vassal kings were taken away from the military power, but even so, the influence of the Duke of Qianguo on the three Xuan and six comforts of Zhuyi is far from being comparable to the imperial court.
"Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, and ruled the world to counties, since the Han Dynasty, it was customized. This Chinese divided counties and counties are naturally prone to turmoil, but if the clan is divided into Zhancheng, Pingnan and other places, the people they list are all Xinnayi people, and how to pacify the people is the top priority. In the midst of such internal troubles, the feudal clan relatives will definitely try their best to strengthen ties with the imperial court in order to seek the support of the imperial court in terms of human and material resources. Even if they have the ability to divide the place, it will take at least two or three hundred years, and it is absolutely impossible to challenge the imperial court without four or five hundred years, just like Zhou Tianzi's division of the feud, at least for four or five hundred years, the Ming Dynasty will be able to sit back and enjoy its benefits without being harmed. ”
Yesterday, after returning to the dormitory, Ye Shizhi and Li Zhiye talked a lot, and the sudden idea at the beginning, in their discussion, slowly became more and more mature.
"The feudal king established the country in Yidi, and used the clan to educate the people, so that not only can take the advantage of the vassal king to protect the central government, but also has no harm in separating the locality. That's what I'm going to do. ”
After Ye Shizhi said this, Lu Liuliang's face became extremely serious, and the smile on Zhu Mingzhong's face was also discussed.
"There's another benefit, you didn't say."
After a long while, Zhu Mingzhong finally spoke.
"That is, if you build a country with this feudal state, probably the world's talents, there are many more places to go, just like my Ming Dynasty, because of the promotion of practical learning, so the scriptures, the eight strands are abolished, if the feudal system is practiced, the talents of the world, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this place is not allowed, you can go to other places, you can't mix in this country, you can go to other countries. Do you say that when the time comes, it will not only be the monarch who chooses the minister, but the minister can also choose the monarch. ”
"What?"
Originally, it was just the benefits of razing the land and fiefdom to establish a state, Ye Shizhi was stunned, and Lu Liuliang and Li were also stunned. No matter what Ye Shizhi said, it wouldn't surprise them even more.
"The king can choose the minister, and the minister can also choose the king......"
At this time, Li Zhiye had obviously forgotten the identity of this person, and he muttered to himself, although his expression was dull, his eyes seemed a little fanatical.
"Haha, the minister can also choose the king......"
Li Zhiye suddenly stood up and laughed, and he even laughed so much that tears flowed out of his eyes.
"So, so...... I will reappear in the world of three generations, and reproduce the world of three generations! Haha......"
What is the Three Generations?
Isn't that the beginning of the separation?
But in the hearts of any scholar, there is a dream of "three generations", in their hearts, the three generations are undoubtedly the most perfect era in the past, and because of this, when Li Zhiye laughed and shouted this sentence, everyone looked at him,
"Haha...... Three generations! ”
Li Zhiye suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the son, laughing loudly.
Zhu Mingzhong just looked at Li Zhiye coldly and didn't speak, his finger gently swiped on the edge of the cup, and the whole person was pondering there.
Thinking about what?
Contemplation is naturally a kind of competition.
You can choose your ministers, and your ministers can choose your king!
Why did the doctrines of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period differ? It is precisely because of the flow of talents and academia that Europe has risen in modern times, and it is precisely because compared with China's great unification, the flow of talents in divided Europe is positive, and the competition in academia and science is fierce, and all this is precisely what the great unified dynasty cannot provide.
The great unification of the dynasty has certainly prevented division and chaos, but it has also brought about academic conceit and stagnation, to a certain extent, the revival of Confucianism is a kind of academic unification, and what is the reason for this great unification?
It is because for the rulers, the academic ideas of a hundred flowers are also dangerous, and in order to facilitate the rule, the ancients always wanted to find a shortcut. Therefore, they chose to strike a hundred schools, and the rulers of the great empire not only need a unified world, but also need a unified academic system under his control.
Is this a good thing?
It was a good thing for the ruler because scholarship and thought were under his control. But is this a good thing for the development of civilization?
As an emperor, of course, Zhu Mingzhong can't just think about civilization, in fact, as an emperor, he has even become more selfish, in the past, in the process of opposing the Qing Dynasty, he thought more about the continuation of civilization, and even considered the continuation of Chinese civilization overseas. But now, as an emperor, the first thing that comes to mind is how to make his empire eternal.
Selfishness is human nature.
It is also this nature that tells others that the establishment of a feudal state is the beginning of chaos in the world. Unification is not easy, and a feudal system cannot be established that is not conducive to unity, and the rule of such a vast empire must ensure centralization and must never be decentralized.
But on the other hand, another voice is also telling him that it is not a bad thing for Yuyi to seal the country and establish a state, at least like when Zhou Tianzi divided the world, so that Chinese civilization can spread again through the partition, and Nanyang and even the whole world will be baptized by the Han civilization.
As far as the development of civilization is concerned, this kind of diffusion is undoubtedly in line with the interests of Han civilization. It is also in the interests of the country, after all, since then, the Ming Dynasty no longer needs to bear the expenses of the clan, and can obtain the benefits of the "Domain-Ping Central".
But is this really the best option?
"In order to avoid the division of the vassal kings, a "feudal ban" can be established, and the two feudal kings are not allowed to meet without the permission of the imperial palace......
Li Zhiye, who was excited because of the "three generations" here, appropriately supplemented Ye Shizhi's previous shortcomings.
"Absolutely unnecessary!"
Ye Shizhi shook his head, and then continued.
"Since it has been established as a feudal state, why do you need to set up a ban on vassals, if so, how can it be that the common vassal country is the royal palace, and it is forbidden in the vassal state, rather than so, it is better to simply do it, without restrictions, and they are in the barbarian land, they must be led by the countrymen, if the savages resist, they will inevitably raise troops to fight, if a country is strong, its vassal king can naturally ask the nearest clan relatives to raise troops to help, well, that is, "respect the king", so why do you need to set up a ban on the vassal? ”
Respect the king.
After the two of them said a word, Lu Liuliang, who couldn't calm down, looked at His Majesty from time to time, he saw His Majesty's solemn expression, and he didn't show the slightest anger because of the words of the two, nor did he express joy, but just sat there quietly, as if he was letting them go on.
However, Lu Liuliang could see that it seemed that His Majesty was really thinking about the possibility of this matter.
How will His Majesty choose?
Feudal statehood!
It seems that it is not impossible to divide the clan overseas. As for the harsh treatment of the clan, if it is just to set up their royal palace overseas, it is inevitable that there will be this statement, but if they are allowed to establish a state in Yidi, how can this be harsh?
Just Your Majesty?
At this moment, Lu Liuliang heard the words of His Majesty, who had been silent.
"Do you know how many clansmen my Daming has?"
