Wang Qi is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he has the most right to speak on such important matters related to the etiquette system.

Moreover, his advice was reasonable, reasonable, and well-founded, and Li Shimin was speechless for a moment.

After thinking about it a little, there are indeed some problems, the position of the prince is the foundation of the country, and it is related to the stability of the country.

Even if it is just an assumption, you have to be cautious, otherwise it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. After all, in this world, there are many things that the speaker has no intention of, and the listener has intention.

When Li Tai, the king of Wei, heard this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, Wang Qi's words to some extent represented the attitude of the courtiers - the East Palace was unshakable.

With the support of the emperor, the maintenance of the courtiers, and the stable status of the East Palace, where is the possibility of seizing the heir?

The words of the partial student were still said by his teacher, and Li Tai was even more angry, and on the surface, he seemed to be able to set off his high style.

But in fact, even his own teachers don't help him plan, which is really disappointing, alas!

What's even worse is that the respect of the prince of that idea is no longer there, and there is a more significant difference between him and the prince of the East Palace.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "What Shu Jue said is reasonable, quasi-play!" ”

……

In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, the first thunder sounded in the court.

Before everyone could remember, a second thunderclap followed.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Li Shimin suddenly announced that the ranks of the imperial family, the clan, and the noble ministers would be agreed, so that they would be unified and passed down from generation to generation, and they would be hereditary unless they committed a major crime.

The first batch of 21 kings such as the governor of Jingzhou and Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing, and 14 noble ministers such as the meritorious grandson Wuji were hereditary assassins.

Thorn Shi is the prefect of the first-level administrative unit of Datang Prefecture, and now adopts a hereditary system, as if the father and son are passed down from generation to generation. The state is still the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but it is equivalent to the fief of the family, which has been governed by it for generations.

As soon as the edict was written, there was an uproar again.

Some people are happy to see it succeed, work hard when they fight the world, or now make contributions and climb to a high position. Children and grandchildren can enjoy the blessings, and they will not only get the inheritance of the title, but also the hereditary official position of assassin and the corresponding power.

Yes, that's great!

Especially those big families, they already have prominent lords, strong strength, and many children are in high positions, and getting a few hereditary assassin histories can be described as adding wings to the tiger and icing on the cake.

But there are two sides to everything. Some people are happy to see it, some people agree, and naturally some people oppose it, and it is very fierce.

The eldest grandson Wuji was the first batch of noble representatives, and he immediately resigned, saying: "Since the ministers inherited the emperor's grace, they have been hanging on thin ice; The people of the clan were worried, as if they were in the middle of a soup.

Tracing back to the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties to build the land. It was because the power could not balance the princes, so it benefited them, and the ritual music was used as a temperance modification, and most of them did not come from the dynasty.

The two Han Dynasty abolished the Hou State and set up a county guard. It is reasonable to avoid the ills of the past. Now because of our people, it has been changed again, and I am afraid that it will mess up the rules of the dynasty;

and the unscrupulous offspring of the ignorant and ignorant offspring. Some people will violate the laws of the state and bring about their own destruction, and they will be rewarded by the seal. And it is really pitiful to suffer a catastrophe that has led to destruction. May Your Majesty stop giving the hereditary will of the assassination, and give us the hope of preserving our lives. ”

Insist on not giving it!

In public and private, the eldest grandson Wuji has sufficient reasons, this system is not good for the country, and it is also unfavorable for future generations, so he asks for a stop.

At the same time, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Ma Zhou, Li Baiyao, Yu Zhining and other important ministers all strongly opposed.

Among them, Yu Zhining and Shi Ma Zhou were the most earnest, and Yu Zhining repeatedly advised, saying that this was not a long-term policy of peace and stability.

Ma Zhou even cited the example of Yao Shun also having unscrupulous sons, if the underage son of the assassin family was allowed to inherit his father's position, in case he was arrogant and stupid, the people would suffer and the country would suffer losses.

If you want to cancel his succession, the credit of his ancestors is still there; If he wants to keep the raid, his sins have been revealed. Rather than poison all sentient beings, it is obvious that it is better to give up the emperor's favor to a minister who has died!

Just say it directly - don't you understand, emperor? You're not stupid, are you?

Then the conversation changed, and Wen Yan said: The emperor, you love the meritorious ministers, which is touching, but it is not good to do this, and it will make yourself embarrassed when the time comes, so it is not appropriate to do this!

In short, it is similar to the rhetoric of the eldest grandson Wuji.

He also implored the emperor to be cautious, and to give more favors to the noble family, and to select outstanding talents from among their children and grandchildren, and to use them according to their talents.

The words are earnest and reasonable.

However, His Majesty Li Er didn't think so, and seemed to be iron-hearted in this matter, no matter what you say, a word - don't listen, don't listen, just don't listen!

Is Li Er a person who is stubborn and self-serving?

Xie Yi asked himself this, the answer cannot be an absolute yes or no, and sometimes it is. But all human beings always have a time of willfulness, even if it is a monarch or emperor.

However, Xie Yi felt very strange about the matter in front of him, it shouldn't be, as long as Li Er's head was not squeezed by the door, he would not have such a move.

The development trend of ancient Chinese history is the centralization of power and the centralization of monarchy, the three provinces and six departments of the Sui and Tang dynasties are not like this, there are many prime ministers, and there will be no one person under the authority, ten thousand people above the power of the ministers, to achieve the purpose of centralization of power.

Now that the hereditary system of assassination history has suddenly been created, this is not the same as engaging in separation!

Isn't the lesson of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion of the Han Dynasty profound enough to foolishly turn back the clock on history?

What's more, the historical records are clear that the Tang Dynasty did not implement such a system, at least not during the time of Taizong. As for the later Jiedu envoys, it was a problem after Xuanzong implemented the conscription system.

Li Er's mistake is so confused, it really shouldn't be, it doesn't make sense, Xie Yi feels that there is something greasy in it.

But what exactly is going on, it's not clear.

I am a bachelor in the Hongwen Museum, and there is an article on the evolution of the senatorial etiquette system in my duties, do you want to talk about this matter?

After thinking about it again, Xie Yi decided to forget it. The weight of Yu Zhining, Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou is enough, so they don't have to join in the fun.

The most important thing is that the world-famous Bachelor Xie can't write at all!

Seeing the Ma Zhou Song Shu copied back from the Hongwen Museum, Xie Yi sighed with emotion, the subset of ancient people's scriptures and histories, and it is really not in vain to read.

Look at how well Ma Zhou's recitals are written, quoting scriptures, reasonable, and to the point, the rhetoric is to the point, and occasionally I don't forget to pat a sycophant between the lines, and the words are smooth and beautiful.

According to the people in Hongwen Hall, this is the standard style of the Tang Dynasty, but I can't write it, how can I mix it up in the court in the future?

It's nerve-wracking!

Staff, Huaiyang County Bofu must recruit a few staff members who play with the pen as soon as possible, and this matter cannot be delayed.

……

The recruitment notice of the Bofu in Huaiyang County has not yet been posted, and the controversy in the court about the hereditary system of assassination has not stopped.

Everyone was still nervous, and when the content had not yet been digested, no one expected that another thunder sounded in the court.

Shen Guogong, Gao Shilian, the secretary of the ministry, Wei Ting, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, Ling Hude, and the Zhongshu waiter Cen wrote the "Clan Chronicles", which was completed and presented to the emperor.

…… (To be continued......)
