Chapter 297 - The Two Kings (2)

The impact of the Jingnan change on the political system of the Ming Dynasty even exceeded that of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's early Zhaojian.

In the first year of Jianwen (1399 AD), Zhu Di, the king of Yan, quoted the clause on the rights of vassal kings in Taizu's "Emperor Ming Zu Xun": "If there are no ministers in the country and there are treacherous evils, the prince will train the troops and stand by, and the Son of Heaven will secretly edict the kings and lead the town soldiers to seek peace." With the slogan of "Qing Jun's side, Yasukuni is difficult", he rebelled. THREE YEARS LATER, THE KING OF THE VALLEY, ZHU LU (HUI), OPENED THE JINCHUAN GATE AND HELPED ZHU DI CAPTURE NANJING. Emperor Jianwen, the heir personally designated by Zhu Yuanzhang, either committed suicide or disappeared. Zhu Di established himself as the emperor, and the era name was Yongle. Since then, the ten emperors of the Ming Dynasty have all been descendants of Zhu Di's Yan lineage.

The legal basis for Zhu Di's army is, of course, pale. He did not establish a secret edict, nor did he follow the system to "after the peace, collect the troops in the camp, and return the dynasty to the emperor." ”

Originally, Zhu Di entered Nanjing, wanting to catch his nephew, and then forced him to posthumously recognize and make concessions afterwards. Who knows that Jianwen is more extreme, one burns the palace, so that Zhu Di will not see anyone alive or dead. Now those Confucian scholars who are not afraid of death have something to say, such as Fu Fang Xiaoru, the first prince of the Shu Domain, is one of them. Fang Xiaoru not only refused to draft Zhu Di's edict on the throne, but also scolded Zhu Di in public as a chaotic minister and thief, and finally was annoyed and angry Zhu Di exterminated the ten clans, and almost involved Zhu Chun, the king of Shuxian.

However, the vast majority of Jianwen courtiers still decided to continue to serve as officials under Zhu Di and continue to contribute to the stability and harmony of the Ming Dynasty. AFTER JIANWEN'S DEATH, ONLY THE PRINCE ZHU BIAO WAS LEFT IN THE LINE OF WU WANG ZHU YUNXI (TONG) AND HENGWANG ZHU YUNXI (JIAN). The two were still young and failed to become a vassal, so they were soon abolished as concubines and imprisoned the high wall of Fengyang. In this way, Zhu Di not only controlled the court by force, but also his identity advantage was highlighted.

After the death of the crown prince Zhu Biao and the two kings of Qin and Jin, Zhu Di was the oldest son-in-law of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, that is, the eldest son, and he was fully qualified to inherit the throne of the Ming Dynasty in terms of blood. Taizu's "Emperor Ming Ancestral Teachings" stipulates: Where there is no prince in the imperial court, he must be a brother and a brother, and he must be born to his mother. Born of a mother, although he grows up, he cannot stand. The political rights of the concubine are very different from those of the concubine, and there is no right to inherit the throne at all. Therefore, when Zhu Di raised troops in Jingnan, he said at the beginning of the article that he was the queen of the Gao Hou Ma family. After ascending the throne, he repeatedly declared that the queen horse was his biological mother.

However, this statement was quickly questioned by the contemporaries. Except for the rumors of a few ill-intentioned people, the main evidence of questioning was sent to the door by Zhu Di himself.

……

There is an ancient temple in Nanjing, which was later destroyed by fire. In the tenth year of Yongle, the eunuch Zheng He (that is, the one who went to Nanyang seven times) was ordered to rebuild the Great Bao'en Temple on the original site. According to the regulations of the palace, more than 100,000 craftsmen from all over the world were recruited, and more than 2.5 million silver was consumed, and it took 19 years to complete. The most famous building in Da Bao'en Temple is the nine-level five-color glazed tower: the building is more than 100 zhang high. There are golden bells under the cornices, and bonlights are placed in the center of the tower. Every time the wind rises, the bell rings; As soon as it enters the twilight, the light shines for hundreds of miles. Yongle Yuci is "the first tower in the world". Anyone who goes to Nanjing must go here to play.

This pagoda is so famous, but there is a strange place that makes many tourists and pilgrims wonder. Because the door of the main hall under the tower has been closed for many years, it never allows people to worship incense. Therefore, what kind of sacred place is enshrined in this tower has become a topic of speculation at the time. Following some clues, officials and literati gradually discovered that this tower is likely to be dedicated to the biological parents of Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.

Who is Zhu Di's biological mother? Isn't it the official propaganda Queen Ma? Why can't it be bright and bright for people to worship? Do you want to be so ghostly, and keep it secret?

The three big and five rough men of the King of Neijiang were burning with a raging fire of gossip in their eyes: "Xiao Wang heard a rumor that a thief in Nanjing had entered the tower and saw the worship spirit card!" Later, there was a lot of street talk, saying that Zhu Di's biological mother was a Mongolian! It is the concubine of the emperor at the end of the Yuan Dynasty! ”

"There is an even stranger theory, it is a North Korean woman, Lee." Zhu Pingjin yawned, turned sideways to extinguish the cigarette, and added: "In short, it is a mixed Hanyi blood, and the bloodline is not correct!" ”

"It turns out that the prince also knows, can it be that Master Shu also teaches you these things......" King Neijiang and Shiquan Lao Wang suddenly realized together.

Seeing the two of them looking at each other, Zhu Pingjin smiled and reminded him: The matter of King Yan's biological mother is still a mystery, and it is not time to reveal it now. However, you don't have to just stare at other people's affairs, and the background of the Shu clan is not low!

After being reminded by the prince, the king of Neijiang was immediately empowered: "The three kings of Shu, Dai, and Gu were originally brothers of the same mother (Note 1), all from Concubine Guo Hui. Concubine Guo Hui is the daughter of the King of Chuyang (Note 2) and his second wife, Mrs. Xiao Zhang, while Ma is just the adopted daughter of the King of Chuyang, and her status is only high! Just because we have the blood of the King of Chuyang, the identity of my Shu domain is more valuable than his Yan domain! He Zhu Di can enter the succession with swords and guns, why can't my Shu Domain? Now that the Yan Fan has mistaken the flowers and rivers handed down by Taizu, what face do they have to continue to sit in that position! ”

"The one hated by the old decay is the meanness and lack of kindness of the Jingshi!" Shiquan Lao Wang stomped on crutches to help, "Your father is buried, and that miser in Jingshi doesn't even give a penny!" When the common people died, they couldn't afford to buy coffins in the cemetery, and the neighbors had to scrape together a few coppers, and the bed was wrapped in broken mats, so they threw it into the human field! Your father is also the lord of the vassal country! Can I save this money? Can I save this money? Jingshi doesn't want the face of heaven, we still want it! Fortunately, the son of the world is pure and filial, and he gave your father a beautiful funeral, and also earned back face for my Shu Domain! Otherwise, those officials and people outside will definitely say that the Zhu family is about to lose, and the world is going to change their surname......"

The old king of Shiquan was furious when he spoke, as if he had been a hundred years later, and his unscrupulous descendants had wrapped his body in broken straw and thrown it to feed the wild dogs.

Zhu Pingjin looked at the old king of Shiquan, and then at the king of Neijiang, and nodded in his heart. It's time to give them something substantial. Zhu Pingjin smiled:

"What is the lineage of the Yan Domain, it is not yet the time to exhaustively investigate. The pagoda is thrown in, and in the future, find a chance to go in and see, and the truth will be revealed to the world. Since the emperor is the Son of Heaven, if Heaven wants to punish the emperor, there will naturally be a bad omen to come. This son thinks that the will of heaven is unpredictable, and people's hearts are difficult to guess. Instead of waiting for the providence to fall, we should clean up the hearts of the people as soon as possible in order to conform to the providence. ”

The two county kings knew that the meat was coming, and they became short of breath.

"How do you clean up people's hearts? Please make it clear! ”

"The human heart is actually the simplest. It's just easier said than done, and very few can do it. Meng said, people have constant words, the world and the country. The foundation of the world is in the country, the foundation of the country is at home, and the foundation of the family is in the body. Too safe and healthy, rich in food and clothing, marrying a wife and having children, sick and old, this is what the people want and what the people want. Whoever can make the people live a good life will be able to clean up the hearts of the people! ”

"So what are we old fellows going to do? Throwing money out? ”

Shizi didn't say anything specific, and Shiquan Lao Wang was a little anxious.

The two county kings understand politics, but they are not good at politics. Zhu Pingjin came to this conclusion and smiled silently.

In China, politics must always be put ahead of the economy. Zi said, the gentleman is in righteousness, and the villain is in profit. When politics sets the stage, the economy can sing. The banner of "benevolence and righteousness" must always be held high. When they meet, they talk about money, which is too politically literate and too low-grade. However, as long as you can cooperate with me for profit, these small details can be tolerated.

Feeling the burning gaze on the left and right, Zhu Pingjin looked to the left and then to the right. He said word by word: "Shudi, the root of my domain." This son wants the Shu clan, together with my Shu Palace, to send people out of silver, and advance and retreat with all the people! If you win, you will sit in the world, and your children and grandchildren will enjoy it, and it will be endless. If you lose, you will be destroyed, and there will be no bones! ”

……

Zhu Pingjin finally took the lead in clearly declaring his political goal to the two heavyweights in the Shu clan, King Shiquan and King Neijiang, to seize the world. In the team that seeks to seize the world, the role played by the Shu clan headed by the King of Shiquan and the King of Neijiang is first of all the vanguard in the economic field.

Zhu Pingjin threw out the economic killer weapon that he and his wife had been planning for a long time - the national stock ownership plan.

The national stock ownership plan, together with the political and military components of the strategic adjustment, constitutes a troika. The plan draws on the financing model of the Sichuan-Han Railway Company in the late Qing Dynasty to build an aircraft carrier unique in Sichuan's investment community by building an open official financing platform. This investment platform absorbs a large amount of social capital, and then provides funds for the most needed agricultural production, scientific and technological research and development, road transportation, and the development of civilian and military industries according to Zhu Pingjin's industrial layout, so as to ensure the absolute leading position of Sichuan's industry from the source of funds.

The most important feature of the plan is the combination of voluntary and compulsory, and the combination of shareholding and borrowing. The clan shares with the royal village and the Yulu, the officials with the Yulu, and the gentry and the common people with taxes. There are no identity restrictions for investors, since the Shizi clan and the governor are below, everyone in Sichuan is a shareholder, and everyone has interests.

In order to allow more people to have the ability to buy shares, the shares are divided into very small shares, and each share is only one penny. For those funds that do not want to be compulsorily invested, a combination of shareholding and borrowing is adopted. In short, we will do everything we can to attract capital to flow into Sichuan and into the financing platform controlled by Zhu Pingjin.

However, raising funds is not the ultimate goal of the scheme. Through the whole people to buy shares and borrow debts, kidnap all the shareholders, kidnap all the creditors, and kidnap all the clan officials and gentry, this is the true meaning of Zhu Pingjin's "advance and retreat with all the people". Representatives elected from the Shu Palace, the Sichuan government and the gentry jointly formed a shareholding committee to supervise the use of funds. But in the end, it was the major shareholder who had the final say, that is, the Shu Wangfu.

The biggest difficulty in this project is the financing of the start-up.

Zhu Pingjin and Luo Yuhong envisioned that they should start with the richest Shu clan. If the clan takes the lead, then Wang Zhuang will follow up in an all-round way. With the support of the government and combined with tax collection, then ordinary gentry and the common people will be actively and passively involved. With the changes in the current situation, through the layout of Huitong Qianzhuang in Huguang, Nanjing and other places, various forces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were gradually gathered in the form of holding shares and issuing bonds. This not only solves the problem of industrial development funds that Zhu Pingjin urgently needs, but also can reunite the righteous forces who are unwilling to accept the country's demise under Zhu Pingjin's banner of "protecting the country and the people, and the world is peaceful".

After listening to Zhu Pingjin's detailed words, the two shrewd county kings immediately felt unprecedented pressure.

Yu Lu and Wang Zhuang didn't get a little bit, but the prince wanted to stake all the family funds of the Shu Domain!

Could it be that the Ming Dynasty is really in danger? What if I lose in the future? What should I do if someone objects to Xiaozong?

The two county kings suddenly fell into deep thought, and for a while, there was silence in the empty Jinde Palace.

Zhu Pingjin was also a little nervous.

If the Shu clan collectively opposes it, even if it is forcibly suppressed by itself with clan power and royal power, it will leave many sequelae.

A mother gives birth to ten sons, and each of the ten sons is different. There are more than 10,000 relatives in the Shu domain, and there are all kinds of people: knowledgeable and unreasonable, cautious and bold, law-abiding and rampant. Will the implementation of such a radical policy and so many people cause a large-scale backlash? In the event of a mass incident such as 1,000 people kneeling and crying at the temple and 100 people going to Beijing to petition, how would Zhu Pingjin respond?

Zhu Pingjin tugged at the collar of his robe, allowing the air to pass freely and smoothly through the airways and into his chest.

"If it's not a good decision, why don't the two county kings go back to the mansion to discuss it first?"

Syllable! The armrest of the sofa on Zhu Pingjin's right was slammed.

"X!" King Neijiang burst into a rude sentence, "It's done!" Instead of nesting in the pigsty for a lifetime, it is better to follow the son of the world to do a big ticket! Anyway, if the thief comes in, he will die. Waiting for death, it is better to die in the country! ”

He jumped up from the sofa, walked up to Zhu Pingjin, flattened his rolled up sleeves, and made a big salute.

"The son, the little king is willing to follow the sect, go bankrupt, and follow the son!" King Neijiang raised his head as he spoke, staring at Zhu Pingjin with blazing eyes, "I just want to say good: the shares I bought in Neijiang Country are not the shareholding plan!" ”

It's done! Zhu Pingjin was overjoyed.

He hurriedly left his seat to help King Neijiang up, and said with a friendly smile: "This son knows that the shares bought by Neijiang Kingdom are the sons of this world!" ”

Seeing that Shizi was about to turn his head to look at him, Shiquan Lao Wang, who was forced into a corner, knelt on the ground at a speed that was not commensurate with his age and physical condition.

"Shiquan Kingdom is also willing to follow the son of the world, protect the country and the people, and the world is peaceful!"

Note 1: Zhu Chun, King of Shu, is the eleventh son of Zhu Yuanzhang; Acting King Zhu Gui, the thirteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, was the domain of Datong; ZHU LU, THE KING OF THE VALLEY (HUI), THE NINETEENTH SON, ZHU ZHANG DIVIDED THE XUANFU, AND LATER MOVED TO CHANGSHA, AND WAS ABOLISHED AS A CONCUBINE FOR HIS CRIMES.

Note 2: King of Chuyang, that is, Guo Zixing. Zhu Yuanzhang was originally Guo Zixing's general. Because he married Guo Zixing's daughter, Zhu Yuanzhang became Guo Zixing's son-in-law. After Guo Zixing's death, Zhu Yuanzhang inherited Guo Zixing's main legacy - the army as his son-in-law. In a sense, Guo Zixing is the first founder of the Ming Dynasty.
