Chapter 225: Talking about the placement of military generals again
"The minister thinks it's advisable to give the princes a king, but if you give the princes a fief, it's a little inappropriate?"
"Not suitable? What's the wrong way? ”
"The Rebellion of the Seven Kings in the Western Han Dynasty and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings in the Western Jin Dynasty were all caused by the excessive power in the hands of the princes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
In fact, You Jingyan's words made Zhu Yuanzhang angry easily.
You think, what father would suspect that his son would betray him?
"Are you saying that my son will betray me and betray my country like the Rebellion of the Seven Kings and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings?" Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously a little unhappy after listening to You Jingyan's explanation.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have the courage to say that the princes are all dragons among people, they are all excellent and filial, and they will definitely not betray the emperor."
You Jingyan first praised Zhu Yuanzhang's princes with a clear conscience before continuing.
"But what if you can live a hundred years on top of your fiefdom and become their son? It's hard to guarantee that they'll be on their toes. ”
"If this is the case, then it can only be blamed on the lack of ability of the successor monarch to keep his own foundation, even if the successor monarch can go long, I am afraid that he will not be able to be a Ming monarch!"
In fact, subjectively speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's tiger father seems to have some truth in theory.
"Having said that, once there is turmoil, it will inevitably be the people who will suffer from the misery, and it will shake the ancestral foundation of the Ming Dynasty!"
"The Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, although it was put down in the end, also greatly shook the foundation of the prosperity and stability of the Tang Dynasty."
"Hmm." Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his forehead and thought for a long time before continuing: "In addition to the emperor, I am also a father, and being an emperor is destined to not be able to level a bowl of water like ordinary people, but I also think all the time that I can level this bowl of water and not let the princes suffer a little sin. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed to himself, You Jingyan had long forgotten what his father looked like, let alone enjoyed his father's love.
So there is no feeling at all about what Zhu Yuanzhang said, let alone enlightening him.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Di'er can be said to be the most capable among the princes, but let him be an idle prince for the rest of his life, I really can't bear it. ”
This is probably the thinking of every parent, who wants to give the best to their children.
"Your Majesty, the ministers dare to say a word from the perspective of the princes' uncles." You Jingyan said.
Now that he has said that he is against the division of the feudal king, Zhu Yuanzhang can continue to talk about it, which shows that there is still room for relaxation in this matter.
Probably one is because You Jingyan crossed over and intersected with Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant, which changed his character.
Another reason is probably that Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of dividing the feudal king is not yet mature.
"Now they are still young, and they don't know what they want, and when they slowly find what they like, the emperor might as well fulfill them, presumably this is the best that can be given to them."
"If they like power, or if they just like to eat, drink, drink, drink, prostitute and gamble, should I also be fulfilled?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, but the look in his eyes seemed to be about to turn his face as long as You Jingyan answered yes.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have to stare at him like this, You Jingyan couldn't answer yes?
"Of course not, this requires arranging an excellent gentleman for them, educating them to be loyal and patriotic from an early age, and then cultivating their governing and military talents a little, so that even if there are unstable factors in the country in the future, the monarch can quickly find a trustworthy person, and the brothers will work together, and their profits will be broken."
"They are elegant idle princes in peacetime, and iron-blooded generals who can lead troops in wartime, so they have indeed realized their self-worth."
"Hmm." After You Jingyan said these words, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time.
For a moment, the whole room was quiet, and I am afraid that it can be heard if a needle is dropped.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was solemn, and he didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about You Jingyan's opinions just now.
At this moment, You Jingyan was a little overwhelmed by such a quiet atmosphere, and he seemed to be able to hear his heavy breathing.
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled before saying: "Respectfully, you kid is worthy of protecting you so much over the years, okay, this matter is like this, you know what I know, don't spread it to the ears of a third person." ”
"Yes."
Zhu Yuanzhang can say this, in fact, he has already recognized what You Jingyan said to a large extent in his heart.
Even if you don't do what You Jingyan said in the future, it will be difficult to move the mind of dividing the feudal king again.
"By the way, how did I ask you to think about solving the problem of military generals?"
For Zhu Yuanzhang, this problem is a huge problem that needs to be solved urgently.
"The minister has already thought about it." You Jingyan slowly thought about him all night, and said something like Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, you once issued Danshu iron coupons and meritorious heroes, and many people are so fearless because of this death-free gold medal, so the first step should be to abolish the trump card in their hands."
"It's only been a few years since the Danshu Iron Coupon was issued, and if it is abolished now, will those ministers think that I am a villain who has gone back on his word?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked worriedly, in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang in the historical records was not abolished within a few years of the Danshu iron coupon being issued to the meritorious heroes.
"Your Majesty, after confiscating their Danshu iron coupons, you can use false titles or rewards to comfort them, and the gold medal is different from others."
"This is an inexplicable sword, if they still blindly bite it, it will inevitably make people doubt his intentions, and they will suspect that he has long wanted to commit a capital crime, since he doesn't have the idea of me, why protect this gold medal without me?"
"You kid's idea is tricky!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether to praise or flatten this: "Go on." ”
"Yes." You Jingyan continued: "This second step can be used to control those fierce generals who do not abide by the law and discipline, and those who dare to violate the law and discipline will not be tolerated. ”
"However, this period of time is bound to be an extremely long process, if those fierce generals only commit a few military stick laws, I am afraid that even if they are beaten, it will not have a deterrent effect on them, which will require them to be dealt with once and again."
"However, the minister thinks that just like General Tang's group of generals, the generals have strong self-restraint ability and will not violate the law of the country, so the minister said that those fierce generals do not include them."
You Jingyan felt that he should still explain it clearly, and it would not be good if Zhu Yuanzhang moved to deal with the ideas of Tang He and other generals.
