Chapter 55: Xia Jun Yimin

Zhu Houhuang didn't seem to notice the hidden changes in Zhengde's mind at all. Said to himself: "Yes, it is the Zhou system of feudalism. ”

He explained: "Since the Zhou Dynasty, all feudal states will inevitably cause rebellions within more than a hundred years, and if the power of the princes and kings is weakened, it will not achieve the role of the royal family of the Ping Domain. It was they who did not grasp the point of Zhou feudalism. ”

"The point? What's the point? Zhengde really hadn't heard of this statement, so he asked with interest.

"Xia Jun Yimin." Zhu Houhuang paused and said: "The world only sees the chaos between the princes in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. But it was not found that in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the royal power was still in the hands, and why the early princes did not rebel against the royal family, they were not unwilling, but they couldn't. At that time, China was only a part of the current Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi, and Hebei, and the rest of the places were occupied by Dongyi, Nanban, Beiyu, and Xidi. When Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, he laid the map of China. Why, all to feudal, Han has the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Jin has the rebellion of the Eight Kings, the feudal country is less than a hundred years, all rebel, and the Zhou is feudal, there are 800 years of the world, and the expansion of territory is the most in the past dynasties.

Gain, the feudal of Zhou, the king of Xia Yimin. ”

Zhengde's historical foundation is much stronger than Zhu Houhuang's, and Zhu Houhuang is just sorting out some views from his previous life. And Zhengde really grew up reading the scriptures and history since he was a child, although he is not good at reading history, but he feels that Zhu Houhuang summed up Xia Junyimin is really incisive.

"Zhou conquered the world, many can defeat and can not serve, such as Vietnam, uncertain for many years, and with the feudal law, with Xia Jun to govern the people, then more than ten generations later, it is the land of China. Qin's determination of China's territory relied on the power of Zhou, and the Han Dynasty also expanded the Western Regions, and where is the Western Regions? If he became an ancestor and sealed a king to control Vietnam, then Vietnam would have been determined early and would be the territory of China. His Majesty wants to use martial arts in the world, and he must use the policy of Xia Jun to expand the territory. ”

"Moreover, since the establishment of this dynasty, the world has been peaceful, and there has been no war in the Central Plains for more than 100 years. As for Your Majesty, is there the rebellion of Liu Liu and Liu Qi, and even the thieves who committed the Jingshi? Why? Is the blessing of this dynasty coming to an end? No, it is a long time of peace, prosperity and prosperity, and the world is limited in acres, people breed unlimited, land annexation, so that the displaced people rise everywhere, if the displaced people and the newly opened land, kill two birds with one stone, not only to stabilize the country, but also to eliminate the hidden dangers of the Central Plains. ”

Zhengde originally listened to what Zhu Houhuang said quite seriously, and slowly came out with the taste.

"Tell me, where do you want to seal it up?" Zhengde said: "You said so much, don't you just want to use the feudal law of the Zhou system, feudal, let's say, you want to seal that place?" ”

Even if Zhengde is not a Ming monarch in the traditional sense, but after so many years of fighting in the court, if he didn't even understand the most basic methods of trying to figure out people's hearts, he wouldn't know how to die for a long time.

Zhu Houhuang didn't think about hiding Zhengde's meaning, and said: "Ryukyu." ”

Zhengde frowned and said, "The Ryukyu Kingdom is a domain of the Ming Dynasty. How can I take the country without sin? ”

Zhu Houhuang couldn't cry or laugh a little, because there was no geographical concept of Taiwan in Zhengde's thoughts, Zhu Houhuang mentioned Ryukyu to him, and the first thing Zhengde remembered was now Okinawa, the ancient Ryukyu country. In a small place where the Ryukyus national talent is slap big, how can Zhu Houhuang be in the eye?

Zhu Houhuang said: "It's not a small Ryukyu, but a big Ryukyu? ”

"Great Ryukyus? Where? Zhengde asked.

"In the east of Fujian, east of Penghu, and Fujian across the sea, but one or two days by sea." Zhu Houhuang was a little apprehensive in his heart, because now he had done everything he could, and the prehistoric ruins were not under his control, and whether he could succeed or not depended on Zhengde's decision, so that the situation was completely out of his control made Zhu Houhuang feel very uncomfortable.

"Hey. Why should the royal brother suffer from this. This big Ryukyu Island, I have never heard of it for so many years, I think it is just a desert island, even if the emperor has the heart to avoid suspicion, why bother to run into the wilderness. Does it seem that I, the imperial brother, can't tolerate people? Zhengde was indeed moved by Zhu Houhuang.

Yes, Taiwan was a treasure land in the eyes of later generations, but in the eyes of people at that time, it was a truly wild land. For the Great Master, it was a barren place that he didn't even bother to look at. No matter how Zhu Houhuang said that the vassal king was a pig, but he was also the most expensive pig in the world, and he was willing to go to the wild land of Taiwan as a person, which was really self-suffering.

At this moment, Zhengde has a little idea of sealing Zhu Houhuang near Beijing.

Zhu Houhuang listened to the righteous German tone, and there was a little implication of not allowing it, and he immediately said: "Taiwan is about a thousand miles long and two or three hundred miles wide, with many plains and streams on the west bank and many mountains and mountains on the east bank. If you do your best to have a province. After several generations of operation, it can also be regarded as a fertile soil. ”

The emperor's suspicion in Zhengde's heart said, "Really? ”

"Indeed," Zhu Houhuang said in an affirmative tone: "The younger brother has studied this place, which is enough to be the foundation of a country. ”

Zhengde said: "There is a strong country on the southeast coast, is it a good thing for the Ming Dynasty? ”

Zhu Houhuang gritted his teeth secretly, this is the last test. said: "There are North Korea, Japan in the east of the Ming Dynasty, and Vietnam in the south. Myanmar, the countries of the South China Sea. To the north there are the Mongol Jurchen tribes. Although the whole world is not the royal land, these countries exist, and there is one more relative vassal in the East China Sea. Why not. Moreover, in order to achieve the land of a province as the subordinates say, it also takes several generations or dozens of generations to operate. Moreover, there are powerful countries in the East China Sea. It's also a matter of later generations, and it doesn't matter if it's a cut or a transfer of the domain, the bones of the younger brother have long been decayed. Where is there so much care? ”

Zhengde said: "Then what are you for? ”

Zhu Houhuang suddenly smiled and said: "The first king burst into frost and dew, cut thorns, and had a land of size, what was that for?" The difficulty of the first king's entrepreneurship, the descendants inherited it, and now the territory of the Ming Dynasty is almost undoubtedly with the Qin Dynasty, and the ministers also have the memory of the sages, ranking among the families. ”

Taishi Gong does historical records and has a family. But none of the descendants inherited, and these families were generally princes from all walks of life. Zhu Houhuang meant that he also wanted to create a vassal state.

Zhengde thought about it, this matter is not something he can decide by himself.

The emperor could not do anything happy.

In fact, who doesn't know about the first file of the Ming Domain, and no one with a clear eye can detect it, but no one is willing to open his mouth easily, just because he doesn't want to make the crime of separating the father and son of the Heavenly Family. I don't want to take credit for the country and offend the vassal king. In fact, Zhengde himself is also very troubled. He now feels that the vassal king is a big trouble for the country, but how to deal with it, Zhengde is also a mess.

A lot of things can't be done right. Thinking about what Zhu Houhuang said, those methods are simply a new round of cutting the feudal domain. Don't look at the vassal kings who don't have any military power now, but the latent power is amazing, especially the few vassal kings who were sealed by Taizu, such as the Qin Domain, such as the Chu Domain, and the Shu Domain. They are all rich in the world, dominating one side, these vassal kings are all richer than the emperor, and if the one is too tight, it is a rebellion.

At this point, it is obviously the right thing to do, but it cannot be implemented immediately, and it needs to be carefully weighed in this regard. These things that weigh the pros and cons are not something that Zhengde can do by himself at all.

Yang Tinghe must come.

I have to, Zhengde is so helpless, on the one hand, he hates the constraints of the civil officials on him, but on the other hand, he can't do without the support of the civil officials, and many things need the support of the civil officials. He is also inseparable from the support of civil officials. Zhengde is also very clear about this. Therefore, in the face of the problem of vassal kings, he also needs civil officials. Even if he decides the matter, without the support of the civilian level, it will not be able to be implemented.

And Zhu Houhuang's question is one of the links in sorting out the vassal king. However, support at the civilian level is also needed.

"I made a note of it. But this is not something that I can do by saying yes. You go back first. Let me think about it. ”

Zhu Houhuang naturally bowed and retreated.

Zhengde thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Come on, find out all the information about the Great Ryukyu for me, there are a lot of things." ”

The entire leopard room was brightly lit, and many eunuchs were busy all night.
