"Oh?"

"The Marquis of An Guo and the Marquis of Beiping came together······"

"But what's the important thing to do with each other?"

finally finished the matter in hand, and before he had time to go out for a walk, Liu Ying ushered in Wang Ling and Zhang Cang again.

Stiffly smiled and greeted the two of them, but Liu Ying also lost the patience to beat around the bush, and only cut straight to the point.

- Tell me, what's the matter?

Feeling the tiredness in Liu Ying's tone, Wang Ling was not polite, only looked at Zhang Cang slightly, and sat down with a smile.

"Your Highness is busy with government affairs, and the ministers should not be bothered."

"However, the day before yesterday, His Royal Highness seemed to say that in the future, the government of the Kwantung princes should be ······"

As he spoke, Wang Ling looked at Liu Ying meaningfully, smiled sideways at Zhang Cang, and immediately bowed his hand to Liu Ying.

"The ministers and the Marquis of Beiping are here to ask His Highness to teach the Grace Order, the Zuoguan Order, the Collateral Benefit Law, the A Party Law and other laws mentioned by the family the day before······"

With a tentative face, Wang Ling made eye contact with Zhang Cang again, and bowed his hand to Liu Ying with a smile.

In front of Wang Ling and Zhang Cang, Liu Ying, who heard that Zhang Cang was coming to make his intentions, suddenly had a little embarrassment on his face.

- Tui'en Order, Zuoguan Order, Collateral Benefit Law, A Party Law and other restrictions on the separatist forces of the princes, Liu Ying didn't plan to come up with it so early!

Speaking of this, Liu Ying herself is also to blame, and others are no wonder.

More than ten days ago, when Yongcheng confronted the rebels under Yingbu's command, looking at the Guanzhong soldiers in the city and the increasingly huge casualties of the Huainan rebels outside the city, Liu Ying couldn't help but sigh that 'fighting around, the dead are all Han people'.

With such a sensibility, Liu Ying couldn't help blurting out this series of legal regulations, wanting Lu Shizhi to help him write them down, and wait for the post-war period to investigate the feasibility.

But coincidentally, when Liu Ying said this series of laws and regulations that went down in history with heartache, Lu Shizhi, who had been following Liu Ying's ass for fear that Liu Ying would have some accidents, was not behind Liu Ying.

What's even more coincidental is that Liu Ying's half-annoyed and half-tentative words were all listened to by Wang Ling and Zhang Cang, who came to report the battle situation······

Now it's okay, the war is over, and people come to the door and want Liu Ying to explain what these things are.

"Alas······"

"Sickness comes from the mouth, and trouble comes out of the mouth······"

"In the future, pay more attention······"

Secretly made up her mind to 'control your mouth in the future', Liu Ying adjusted her sitting posture slightly, and immediately began to mutter.

——Liu Ying told Lu Shizhi about these laws and regulations, which originally meant a little 'to test the reaction of courtiers and nobles'.

Although it backfired, this matter did not let his uncle Lu Shizhi hear it, but let Wang Ling and Zhang Cang listen to it, but judging from the results, it cannot be said that Liu Ying's purpose was not achieved.

Taking the opportunity to explain these laws and regulations, and looking at the reactions of Wang Ling and Zhang Cang, they can barely accept it.

Thinking like this, Liu Ying raised her head with a light smile, reorganized the words in her memory, and immediately counted them with Wang Ling and Zhang Cang.

"The order of encouragement is an occasional thought of in the time of solitude, and those who want to solve it in this way are the princes who are powerful, and it is not beneficial to the society."

"——Since the Han Dynasty, the world has been mostly burdened by the scourge of war, since my father and emperor established Han Zuo, and he went out of the customs to quell the rebellion at a younger age, and he was not allowed to rest in peace at half a year."

"I think that the cause of the rebellion of the princes is investigated, but the princes have a vast territory and prosperous soldiers, and they have the ability to cause trouble, so they have the idea of trouble!"

"However, if the princes are all smaller and the soldiers are less, and they lose the ability to cause trouble, their thoughts of chaos will disappear by themselves?"

"However, it is not easy to make the land of the princes smaller and smaller, and their soldiers and armor are scarce."

"In the past, the Chang'an court was left to the mercy of the princes of the Kwantung region, and they almost never heard of the affairs of the princes, but the rebellions of the princes were still endless;"

"If you take away the feudal land and armor of the princes by law, I am afraid that those who have no intention of causing chaos will also beware of resentment and misdeeds."

"And the "Tui En Order" is the only way to think of 'gentleness'."

Speaking of this, Liu Ying smiled shyly, and looked at Wang Ling and Zhang Cang with a little confidence in their eyes.

"—The one who pushes the favor is said: All the sons of the princes are all princes!"

"It is said: If the princes have many sons, they will split their kingdoms to seal their sons, and each will be a prince."

"In this way, the land of the princes is divided into three or four, and they are all with the sons of the princes, and the court can eliminate the worries of the princes without much effort, and there is no suspicion of 'seizing the land of the princes'."

"Even if the princes are unwilling to make this order, they will also have to fight with the princes' sons and concubines, so the court does not have to worry about the failure of this order, and only needs to pass the decree to the princes, and it can be ······"

With an indifferent face, he explained the main content of "Tui En Order", and Liu Ying did not forget to add with a smile: "This policy is the idea of seeing that all princes are kings alone, and Fang Sheng." ”

"——Sons of Heaven, when each of them splits the earth and becomes a prince, the son of a prince, why not?"

"Even if you can't split the princes' land and the king's sons, you can also split a county and marquish their sons, so as to divide their power and weaken the princes?"

"And all princes should be kings of the earth, which is the grace of their fathers, and the sons of princes, kings and princes, are also the grace of the Son of Heaven."

"According to this policy, the land of the princes was divided into kings and princes from generation to generation, so as to push the grace of the Son of Heaven to the heirs of the princes, so the lonely name said: "Tui En Order" ······"

As Liu Ying's last words came out, there was a long silence in the side hall.

It was Wang Ling and Zhang Cang, the two old fathers who were over the age of sixties, who were rarely stunned in place, quickly absorbing the information revealed in Liu Ying's words!

- After the death of the princes and kings, divide the fiefdom of the princely states into several parts, and let the sons of the princes and kings be the princes and kings?

I have to say that this unprecedented plan was quite unexpected by Wang Ling and Zhang Cang.

The question of the great power of the princes and kings, or the threat to the central government, is not a new problem at all.

As early as the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the princes of the world no longer respect the emperor of Zhou, and in their respective fiefdoms called lonely widows, and in order to expand the territory and conquest each other, from the beginning of hundreds of princes, to the end of the Warring States period of the seven heroes, this problem has appeared in the land of China.

The feudal system, which had supported the Zhou Dynasty's centuries-long external expansion, and even pulled Ji Zhou back from the edge of collapse several times, also encountered an unprecedented major test.

Is the sub-seal system good?

For the people of the world, this answer to the question can be said to be justified by the public, and the mother-in-law is reasonable.

However, from the perspective of 'development', which is immutable for the ages, the feudal system is indeed the most efficient way of development among the policies that can be adopted by an agrarian society.

This principle is also very simple: only one's own business can make human beings do their best. Turtle

Here's a very simple example.

One day, Zhou Tianzi found a courtier, appointed him as the head of a place, and asked him to be in charge of the development of the region, and paid him, that is, Yulu.

But for this courtier, the area he is in charge of is not his own at all.

Whether the governance is good or not, the money is distributed as usual, and it is difficult to cause direct benefits or losses to this courtier.

If the sky is gone, it is a little rewarded for good governance, and criticized for poor governance.

Therefore, this courtier only needs to ensure the governance of this area, and not to the extent that people and gods are angry and will cause him to lose his official position, so he can be a monk for a day and ring the bell for a day, lying down and eating the court's Yulu until the day of old age and death.

This is the general mentality that human beings will have when they only have the right to use a certain object, but not the right to own it: they do not cherish, they do not care, they are not afraid of losing, and they are not eager to get more.

——In later generations, the landlord will always cherish the house more than the tenant, which is the truth: only when it is one's own can one know that it is loved and distressed.

But what if Zhou Tianzi did not give the right to govern the region, but the right to own it?

If this area is divided by Zhou Tianzi himself, and the land can be inherited by future generations, then the situation will change dramatically.

In order to build the fief better, the person who received the fief will inevitably exert all his subjective initiative, in order to build his fief to the best in the shortest possible time!

In order to have the right to own this land for a long time, this lord can even accept the rule that 'not only do you not have to pay a tribute to the court, but you also have to pay tribute to the court'!

The courtiers who held the suffocation, because they did not have the right to own land, would be a monk for a day and ring the bell for a day, preferring to do nothing or make mistakes;

And the lord who got the right to own the land, obviously did not have a fortune, and even had to pay tribute to the court, but he could exert all his strength, and only wanted his fiefdom to develop faster and better.

Such a contrast, at first glance, may seem strange.

But in fact, this is the most superficial and easy to understand point of human nature: one's own things are worth investing 100% of their energy; But other people's things only need 30% or even 20%, don't make the scene too ugly.

From this point of view, if a new regime wants to implement effective rationale over a vast territory, or wants to develop the land acquired by expansion, the feudal system is undoubtedly the best option.

But the feudal system is also the sword of Damocles hanging over the head of every feudal dynasty.

If you are not careful, this development weapon will personally ring the death knell of the dynasty.

Therefore, the discussion of the sub-feudal system has never stopped since it appeared in the early Spring and Autumn Period.

——If the sub-feudal system is good, how to explain the fall of the Zhou Dynasty?

How to explain the centuries-long Spring and Autumn Warring States period, as well as the humiliation endured by Zhou Tianzi?

But if it's not good, how can the Zhou Dynasty explain it from the place where the slap was big at the beginning to the rich Shenzhou thousands of miles later?

The answer to this question is obviously 'I don't need to!' ’

However, the experience of Qin II's death also proves that even if the feudal system should be abolished, it is not a good time to abolish the feudal system in a short time.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, unexpectedly threw off his arms and pushed the wheel of history back half a step, and paralleled the feudal system and the county system with the Son of Heaven.

And in this way, the problem that had caused Ji Zhou's demise was placed in front of the Liu Han Dynasty again.

-- If the central government is not strong enough, the county system will not be able to effectively govern the localities; However, the sub-feudal system will pose a threat to the central government······

What to do?

In the past nearly ten years, in order to find a feasible path, the Han family took the heads of seven princes with different surnames, as well as the lives of hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers, and finally came to an accurate conclusion.

- Even if the sub-feudal system can be used, it cannot be used to seal princes with different surnames!

Wang Ling and Zhang Cang also understood in their hearts: Now that the princes with different surnames are about to become extinct, and the princes with different surnames in the Han family except for the king of Changsha are on the verge of 'extinction', Liu Ying's "Tui En Order" is obviously not intended for the princes with different surnames.

And this is the reason why the two of them came to learn more about these unheard of laws and regulations.

"The sons of the princes are all kings and princes······

"Hmmm······"

Shen groaned and turned his head sideways, and when he saw Zhang Cang's face with the same loneliness as himself, Wang Ling's face finally surged with a touch of worry.

But Wang Ling didn't rush to interrupt Liu Ying, but nodded slightly at Liu Ying and motioned for Liu Ying to continue.

- Wang Ling had a hunch.

Compared with the seemingly impeccable but actually dangerous "Tui En Order", the other laws proposed by Liu Ying may be even more dangerous······

Seeing Wang Ling's calm face and motioning for him to continue, the relaxed look on Liu Ying's face was quietly replaced by a touch of hesitation.

But Liu Ying didn't get too entangled, and only after a little muttering, she briefly described the core content of the remaining decrees.

"The Law of the Left Official" is because Wu Hanzuo respects the right, so it is said: All the princes and ministers sent by the court are all right officials, and the ministers appointed by the princes are the left officials."

"If the left official is of the same rank as the right official, the right official shall be respected, and the left official shall not enter the court as a minister, shall not live in Guanzhong for a long time, and shall not be promoted; If the princes are guilty, all the officials in their country will sit in a ······"

"The Law of Collateral Benefits" means that the princes bribe the courtiers, or the courtiers collude with the princes to benefit the princes, they all say: collateral benefits, order and forbid; If a prince colludes with a courtier, or a courtier benefits a prince, it is a crime······"

"The "A Party Law" says: The princes' princes, ministers of state, internal history, etc., should be appointed by the court, and the princes are not allowed to hire themselves; If the princes are guilty, and they cannot lift two thousand stones, they are all guilty······"

As Liu Ying explained the content of these laws and regulations in order, Wang Ling and Zhang Cang's brows furrowed a little in unison.

When he heard the last sentence, 'The princes are assigned by the court, and the princes and kings cannot be appointed and dismissed privately', Wang Ling's brows finally wrinkled tightly.

Seeing that the two seemed to have discussed it, and at the same time put on a mask of pain, Liu Ying's words couldn't help but stagnate, and in the eyes of the two, he no longer had the slightest confidence.

"An Guohou thinks ······"

"But what's wrong?"

The question was suspicious, and finally provoked Wang Ling to come back from his contemplation, and stared at Liu Ying with a strange expression for a long time before shaking his head.

"If all the policies Your Highness said are feasible, they will be of great benefit to the court."

"Then ······"

As expected, he said a 'but', Zhang Cang looked at Liu Ying's gaze, and became more and more cautious.

"Have you ever heard at home: Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh?"
