"Domain, fence!"

Huang Zongxi looked indignant, and generously stated: "The former Emperor Taizu divided the feudal kings, which was originally the beginning of the new dynasty, and the four seas were restless, but after the dinosaurs controlled Bintian, the new monarch could not insult foreign enemies. Therefore, the adult concubines were divided into kings, stationed on the frontier, and guarded the hinterland of the Central Plains. Once the enemy is attacking, the vassal kings from all over the country can raise troops to help, so that the country is worry-free. ”

"After Taizu Bintian, it is precisely these vassal kings who support their own troops and respect themselves who threaten the imperial court!" The more Huang Zongxi spoke, the more excited he became, completely ignoring Wang Fuzhi and Gu Yanwu's dissuasive gaze, "Not only did they not play the role of a barrier, but they became a big problem for the imperial court. After Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne on the same day, it was a wise move to cut the domain, otherwise once the vassal king was full of wings and his tail was too big, it would be even more difficult to eradicate it! As for Chengzu's 'Jing Difficulty', it is just a rebellion! ”

A few people were dumbfounded when they heard this, you must know that the current emperor is a descendant of Chengzu Zhu Di, Huang Zongxi said that Zhu Di was a rebel, wouldn't the apocalypse be after the rebellious ministers and thieves? If you say such a big rebellion, this Huang Ye just said it so openly!

Gu Yanwu hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover Huang Zongxi's mouth, and said in a low voice: "Brother Taichong, be careful!" Dongchang fans are all over the world, who can guarantee that there are not one or two in this big car shop? If it is overheard, it will be a disaster! ”

Huang Zongxi also woke up on the spot, and really lowered the tone, but he still couldn't help but say: "The story of the previous dynasty, don't tell it." After becoming an ancestor, in order to prevent the vassal kings from repeating this farce, the imperial court gradually deprived them of their military rights, which was a good thing. However, if there are too many and too many separations, it is a stubborn disease that cannot be eradicated.

"During the Hongwu period, there were only twenty-five vassal kings; Since then, more and more have been sealed, and they have long been no longer limited to the frontier lands. Today, there are no less than hundreds of famous vassal kings, and there are hundreds of thousands of clans! So many people do not produce, but live exclusively on Juelu, and as their children and grandchildren multiply, more and more; Although the annual endowment fluctuates from year to year, the average amount is not much different from that in the Hongwu period. In the long run, the financial resources of the imperial court will inevitably be unsustainable! ”

Zhu Youzhen's face turned red when he heard this, and he thought to himself that he was one of the members of what Huang Zongxi said! Although the apocalypse has a deep friendship with him and gives rich rewards from time to time, he will inevitably favor one over the other for the common people.

At this time, Wang Fuzhi said: "If it is as Brother Taichong said, the clan completely depends on Juelu to survive, it would be slightly better. Like King Fu of Luoyang, he originally held a large amount of silver from the imperial court, which was enough for a lifetime of fine clothes and food; But if they are still in vain, they wantonly annex land, buy and sell by force, and force the people to be displaced, and the disaster is even worse? ”

Gu Yanwu also snorted coldly and said: "The previous month, due to the Guanzhong earthquake, the Yellow River rose, threatening the safety of the dam. The river works were in disrepair for a long time, and Luoyang Mansion could not take out the silver to repair it, so it had to borrow it from King Fu temporarily. But this blessed king Chitose is good, he doesn't borrow it, and even secretly instigates thieves to dig up the dam and flood tens of thousands of hectares of farmland, just to protect his own domain on the other side of the river! ”

Zhu Youzhen was furious when he heard this: "What the hell is this prince, he is simply a national thief!" This guy has done so much evil for his own selfishness, does the court and Banzai just care about him? ”

When the three of them heard Zhu Youzhen suddenly utter foul language, they couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking that this person was just a market businessman, and it was inevitable that he would be vulgar. But he dared to scold the powerful Fu King, which made them feel admiration.

Gu Yanwu replied in a deep voice: "The imperial court does not dare to take care of King Fu. The name of this blessed king is Zhu Changxun, the third son of Emperor Shenzong Wanliye, Zheng Guifei. Because Emperor Shenzong favored Concubine Zheng Guifei, he loved the house and Wu, and he was also very doting on this Fu King, and he refused to set up his eldest son Zhu Changluo as the crown prince.

"The ministers were afraid that the Divine Sect would be abolished, so there was a fifteen-year-long 'fight for the country'. In the end, Shenzong had to appoint his eldest son as the crown prince, which was later Emperor Guangzong. But for this blessed king, he is still very fond of him. When he got married, he was rewarded with 300,000 taels of silver; He also asked him to go to Luoyang, the ancient capital of the prosperous Central Plains, and gave him 20,000 hectares of farmland and thousands of salt.

After building the Fu Wangfu, Shenzong allocated another 280,000 taels of silver. The palace was completed, and the scale exceeded the system by more than ten times, but Shenzong did not care at all, and levied a 'mining tax' to accumulate people's wealth, and the income was also put into the palace of the king of Fu. When the Divine Sect and the Guangzong died one after another, the current saint is the nephew of King Fu, and he does not dare to do anything to him, so King Fu is more and more arrogant and extravagant. Isn't Brother You going to pass through Luoyang? You can see when you go there. ”

Only then did Zhu Youzhen know that Zhu Changxun, the blessed king who dared to love the people's great anger, was his own uncle and Tianqi's own uncle! At this time, he also vaguely remembered that in history, Li Zicheng's army broke through Luoyang, and Zhu Changxun was poor and luxurious all his life, and it finally came to an end. There were countless gold and silver treasures accumulated in the mansion, but Zhu Changxun was reluctant to take out a little bit to appease the defenders, and in the end they were all swept away by Li Zicheng.

It is said that Zhu Changxun's death was particularly tragic. Li Zicheng played performance art, found a few deer, threw them into the cauldron with Zhu Changxun to cook, and ordered several soldiers to be on duty by the pot with spears. As soon as Zhu Changxun climbed up, he stabbed his palm with the tip of a gun. Later, when people and deer bones and meat were rotten, Li Zicheng shared the broth with everyone and ate it, which was called "Fulu Banquet".

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but shiver a few times, thinking that it was fortunate that he didn't follow his old path of drunken dreams and death, otherwise he might have to go into the pot one day!

He was thinking nonsense, but Huang Zongxi was still gushing: "This is not the fault of King Fu alone, it is in the Divine Sect!" It's not even the fault of the Divine Sect alone, it's the 'Jun'! The ancients took the world as the mainstay, the monarch as the guest, and the ruler of the world as the operator, for the world.

"The king of the future generations thinks that the rights and interests of the world come from me, and I take the benefits of the world to myself, and the harm of the world to others. so that the people of the world do not dare to be selfish, dare not be self-interested, and take my great selfishness for the great justice of the world; Regard the world as a great inheritance, and pass it on to future generations, and enjoy it endlessly! ”

Gu Yanwu and Wang Fuzhi were fascinated when they heard this, and they couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Taichong said it too well!" But how can we get rid of the disadvantages of 'Jun'? ”

Huang Zongxi replied confidently: "The original husband is the king, so he rules the world." If the world cannot be ruled by one person, officials will be set up to govern it. is an official, and the king of doppelgangers. The official is also for the world, not for the king; For all the people, not for one surname. It is also necessary to set up a prime minister to divide the power of the monarch, and Emperor Taizu abolished the prime minister, which is a big mistake. ”

Several people chatted enthusiastically, and when they looked at Zhu Youzhen again, they had already dozed off. The three of them didn't care, and continued to talk, thinking that the merchants in the market naturally couldn't understand these high theories; The more I listened, the more boring it became, so I fell asleep.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen just pretended to be asleep, but his heart was like a mirror. Huang Zongxi said a lot, but in fact, there is only one central idea, that is, to use the power of the prime minister to restrain the monarchy, to put it bluntly, it is similar to the later constitutional monarchy.

But can a constitutional monarchy save China? Thinking back to the previous life, Dongying Island was a constitutional monarchy, but it was still a group of careerists in power, who gambled on the fortunes of the country again and again and invaded wildly, and finally was completely beaten back to its original shape.

Therefore, the system is not a panacea, and it cannot be taken for granted that it is copied and plagiarized. It is difficult to return to such a large number of accumulations as the Ming Dynasty, and it is far from being solved by a constitutional monarchy...

While I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of a rooster crowing in my ears, and it was almost dawn.
