Chapter 882: Discussion and Separation
"This?" Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Li Jing to say such a paragraph, not to be crowned as a queen for the time being, everyone still knows the inside story, there are many people who oppose the canonization of LancΓ΄me as the queen, but the matter of not establishing a prince for the time being, even Li Fu was surprised, he knew that the candidate Li Jing identified in his heart was Li Dingbei, but now Li Jing decided not to establish a prince for the time being, which surprised Li Fu.
"Being wise now does not mean that you will be wise in the future, and being smart now does not mean that you will be smart in the future, so everything must be seen." Li Jing shook his head, the crown prince was established at this time, and after a few decades, it may not be this prince who can ascend the throne, how many princes did not become emperors in the end, but were abolished or killed, Li Jing did not want to abolish the prince he set up with his own hands in the future, and even killed him with his own hands.
"The king." There was a wry smile in everyone's hearts, but they were helpless.
"The princes are not allowed to make friends with the ministers of civil and military affairs, and the wives of the princes can only be selected from among the lower-ranking officers." Li Jing glanced at everyone, and said coldly: "This king knows that some adults in the court want to get the merit of the dragon, but they don't know that if they don't stand in line well, they will take the lives of the whole family, and this king doesn't want such a thing to happen to you." The princes' studies do not have to be taught by the ministers, they are all sent to the Guozijian and the academy, just like ordinary children. β
The eyes of the people below flashed strangely when they heard this, after many princes became adults, in order to compete for the throne, they would definitely make friends with civil and military ministers, which is inevitable, and many civil and military ministers would also want to make friends with those princes, so that their families could be blessed by the imperial power in the next few decades. Li Jing's move is to stifle this matter at the beginning stage.
These princes are studying in the Guozijian or in the academy, and it is possible to make their own friends and arms in the process of studying, and even if any minister takes refuge in the future, they are more trusted without their own friends and arms. And that in-law is even more so that the ministers below don't know how to be good, in-laws can deepen the relationship between each other, is one of the prince's backers, if there is a Qilin Pavilion scholar as a father-in-law, I am afraid that the prince's road to the heir will be easier.
"Your Majesty, how noble is the status of a prince, how can it be placed among the people?" Zheng Juzhong couldn't help but say.
"It's okay to be incognito." Li Jing said indifferently: "When any prince becomes an adult, he has to govern the place, from a county to the government, roads, etc., he has to go through it, otherwise, how can he know the suffering of the people in the world, how can he know the hardships of state affairs?" β
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter will have to be discussed separately." Li Fu frowned, there was too much information in Li Jing's words, it seemed that he wanted to investigate every prince, wouldn't he be afraid that these princes would compete for the throne, causing a waste of national strength, and even falling into civil strife?
"Lone is only in his twenties now, and he will be the Son of Heaven for at least forty years in the future. Satisfied with the achievements of the previous emperors? Li Jing said with a smile: "Emperor Taizong, Emperor Xuanzong they fought at that time only to the west of the green ridge, this king and others after pacifying the world, five years will launch a war with the outside world, thirty years will expand a lot of territory, at that time, from east to west, riding a horse for a year is not enough, such a country, how can it be governed?" β
"The king is going to divide the seal?" Li Fu instantly understood what Li Jing meant, his eyes widened, the sub-feudal system only existed in ancient history, since the Qin Dynasty, it was only the county system, history has proved that as long as the sub-feudal system is implemented, it will eventually cause chaos in the world.
"That's right, that is, to divide the seals, and to separate the princes, but the prince is in the center." Li Jing said with a smile. His country is naturally left to his son, although there are many disadvantages of dividing the feudal, but in the face of the increasingly expanding territory, there is no way to divide the feud, he glanced at everyone, and said: "If the ministers have great merit, this king will not hesitate to reward at that time, and it is not impossible to divide the feud." β
"The king." Everyone listened to the light of the face, who doesn't want to think about their next generation, what is it to be an official to make money to buy land, if it is a split land, even if it is a few miles of land, it is also a very good thing, all dynasties, get rid of those who try to rebel, only before the Qin Dynasty, there is a saying of separation.
"This matter, it's too early, at present, we haven't even defeated the Jin people, we want to divide the feud, and wait for the king's territory to exceed the Xuanzong period!" Li Jing waved his hand and said: "The dragon robe is not too complicated, everything is mainly light, that is, it will be worn during the ceremony, and at other times, this king is mainly in regular clothes." β
Li Fu and others did not dare to slack off, and recorded Li Jing's requirements one after another, although some things can be done according to the usual practice, but although Li Jing is clearly after Li Tang, but this time he is the founder of the country, and what he has set will be the ancestral system in the future, and will be an example for future emperors.
"After sacrificing heaven and earth, it is to sacrifice the ancestors and ancestors, and then the soldiers who died in battle, you can set up the martyrs' shrine, and after the national capital is set in the future, a huge stone tablet will be built, and these soldiers who died for the court will be sacrificed every year during the Qingming Festival."
"The people in the government hall must be singular, not even, everyone takes turns to write, if there is no decision, you can raise your hand to vote." Li Jing said again: "The emperor has a word, if the ministers think it is inappropriate, they can refute the holy decree." β
"Who, O king, can refute the decree?" Wang Pu couldn't help but ask.
"Since I have passed, I have retired for the ministers of sixty and entered the Xuande Palace, which is for the Xuande Hall scholars, and the upper limit of the number is forty-nine, which must be singular, and the majority of people agree to refute it, then it will be refuted." Li Jing said with a smile: "The power of the emperor should also be restrained, and it can't be like the previous dynasty, for the sake of a stone, even the city gate was demolished." β
"The king." Everyone's eyes rolled, but they didn't expect Li Jing to come up with such a trick.
"The annual income of the emperor of my Li family is no worse than that of the imperial court, and there is no need for the imperial court to support the royal family with the world, but it is also impossible not to support it, the specific amount, the Qilin Pavilion decides by itself, but those merchants have to pay taxes, and His Majesty the Emperor also has to pay taxes." Li Jing stopped the people who wanted to speak and said, "This tax was originally taken from the people and used for the people. β
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor has to pay taxes, does that mean that everyone in the world has to pay taxes?" Zhao Ding's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say.
"What does Lord Zhao think?" Li Jing said with a smile: "However, those ordinary people don't need it, those ordinary people themselves are very poor, one copper is eager to be treated as two coppers, this king sees, don't collect taxes according to the head, just collect according to the land, whoever occupies more land will collect whom's tax." Even those who read books and have a reputation are no exception. β
Li Fu and the others' faces changed, Li Jing's move was too ruthless, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he was afraid that it would cause chaos in the world.
"Your Majesty, this move, the minister thinks that it can't be done now, otherwise it will cause chaos in the world, and the minister thinks that after the world is unified, it will not be too late to implement it." Zhao Ding hurriedly said.
"Hehe, if you want to collect taxes, how to collect taxes, it's a long-term process, where is it so simple, now it's just for you to study it." Li Jing is like a stream, knowing that this matter is too big, and if he doesn't pay attention to it, he will get the egg, especially now that he doesn't have much advantage.
