Chapter 643: So Ruthless That He Killed Himself
The main hall suddenly no longer looked crowded after the clan receded like a tide, and when the kings left, Zhu Houzhao didn't even have the intention of keeping a banquet......
To be honest, Zhu Houzhao didn't hate the clan originally, and he never felt that the clan was a leech lying on Da Ming's body to suck blood, but since he talked with his brother a few times, this concept has been completely reversed.
It is precisely because of several conversations that Zhu Houzhao decided how fucked up the clan system formulated by Emperor Taizu, to put it chillingly, did Taizu really not consider that the Ming Dynasty could last for thousands of years, if he thought about it, he didn't know how serious the burden the clan would cause to the Ming Dynasty's finances?
If there is really none, then it can only show that the talented Emperor Taizu Hongwu is indeed a little short-sighted.
This also shows that Comrade Zhu Houzhao's ears are indeed too soft, and there is a suspicion of partiality and bias, which can be proved by too many deeds from the beginning of Liu Jin and Zhang Yong to the present.
How the kings of the clan will decide when they leave is completely out of Zhu Houzhao's consideration, now for him, the clan is the object that can be easily pinched to death, if he is honest and lives comfortably, then for the sake of loving the family, the glory of several generations will not be less, but if you want to make trouble, then as Zhu Houzhao himself said, the end is seven words!
Cut the knight, ban it, and send it to the battlefield!
Now there are still nobles in the main hall headed by the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Chengguo, these nobles have witnessed Zhu Houzhao's attitude towards the clan before, and now they are all panicked, not knowing what their fate will be next?
"Xungui, Xungui, and Xunqi are still a little different after all...... Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "The essence of Xungui lies in meritorious service, your ancestors are either the founding fathers who followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the north and south and recover the Chinese country, or they are the heroes who followed Emperor Taizong to Fengtianjing.
Like the clan, you also rely on the shadow of your ancestors, lying on the merits of your ancestors and enjoying a steady stream of glory and wealth.
This is the blessing given by the ancestors, and it is also your blessing, which is understandable, and your respective families deserve to be honored and retired with the Ming Dynasty.
But in my eyes, after the gate, there should be the appearance after the gate, you can sit and enjoy the blessings of your ancestors, but you have lost your blood and bravery, so you can only be a commander and not a general!
Maybe you will also feel in your hearts that what the previous kings said was right, for example, I and Houwei also relied on the blessings of our ancestors, so we can command today, but you forgot!
I Chan gave the throne to Hou Wei, and I went to the army to become a general, and you also know the rest of the matter, I took all the courage to win a great victory in Xuanfu Dushikou, and then conquered the grassland twice, rescued countless Han people, and captured the grassland aliens.
Do you think that even if I hadn't come to Western Europe, would I have been made a marquis or even a duke by virtue of my military power?
My title was made by me myself, but what about Hou Wei? The Ming Dynasty before the Jiajing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty before the Jiajing Dynasty have turned the world upside down, and Hou Wei's ability is obvious to all, he is a natural emperor!
One of you nobles counts as one, do you think you can do better than Hou Wei if you sit in that position? Do you have such long-term insight and the determination, courage and skill to change the Ming Dynasty and even fight against the whole world?
You don't have one, so you have to accept your fate! It's like the clan, honestly accepting the arrangement of fate! ”
"How does Your Majesty plan to arrange for your honor? Is there a demotion system? Wei Guogong Xu Pengju asked in a deep voice.
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Xungui is different from the clan, the clan can rely on themselves and the royal family without scruples, they feel that they have the blessing of their ancestors, as long as they do not seek great rebellion, then even the emperor can only appease them, in principle, this cannot be wrong, but Hou Wei said that the times are changing, and the concept must also change, holding the old dogma and refusing to let go, then it will only be abandoned by the times."
Therefore, with the current clan government, it is not that the royal family is mean and unkind, and it is not that the royal family does not care about the friendship of the same clan, but that the royal family is unwilling to let thousands of people live in water and fire because of the existence of a privileged class.
Therefore, Hou Wei's lifelong ambition is to eliminate the privileged class except for the royal family, including the clan nobles and gentry! He said that even if he can't make the world as unified, he must make the world as homogeneous as possible!
You may not be convinced by this, thinking that the royal family is the biggest privileged class, and Hou Wei wants to eliminate the privileged class, so why not eliminate yourself!
There is nothing wrong with this idea, so Hou Wei has thought about hypocrisy politics!
What is hypocrisy politics, that is, the emperor is high, but he does not ask about political affairs, and the political affairs of the world are handed over to the officials of the world to deal with, and to the elites of all walks of life to deal with, and the world is managed with perfect laws and corresponding systems! ”
All the nobles are stupid, ruthless! Too ruthless! It is not surprising that Emperor Jiajing wants to kill the privileged class, but what is unexpected is that he even wants to kill himself, how ruthless this must be, so ruthless that he is mad.
Emperor Taizu abolished the prime minister system, because the prime minister has checked and balanced the monarchy for thousands of years, so the prime minister was abolished, but the power of one person is limited after all, so Emperor Taizong established a cabinet to share government affairs.
The current Ming Cabinet is no longer the cabinet of the emperor's staff in the Taizong period, and the cabinet has already grown into a giant beast in the Ming political arena, affecting almost all government affairs in the Ming Dynasty.
That's revolution!
What hypocritical politics needs is political clarity and a perfect supervision and supervision mechanism, but all this Daming does not have, so Hou Wei will not let go, he now needs to centralize power to change the whole world!
But if the Ming Dynasty wants to inherit all generations, and if it wants not to follow the old path of the previous dynasties, the politics of the hypocrite is an inevitable way to go!
You nobles think that their ancestors have meritorious, so their descendants deserve to be blessed, so what do you think now? ”
The soles of the nobles' feet are cool, if the emperor even does it himself, then the nobles are a fart......
The greatest significance of the existence of the nobles is because they are the biggest supporters of the imperial family, and they are the most solid backing for the emperor against civil officials.
Well, now that even the emperor himself doesn't care about his dominance, it seems that he just wants to raise himself high and accept the support of the people of the world, so what else do you want to do?
"The minister has something to understand!" Xu Pengju's eyes contained endless doubts.
"What is Wei Guogong's confusion?"
Xu Peng raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty said that Emperor Jiajing wants to implement the virtual monarchy system for the sake of inheriting the Ming Dynasty for all generations, so Emperor Jiajing is not afraid that he will be abolished by civil officials!"
