After the last Song Li reported the Yongle ceremony, Zhu Gaoxu changed it to the Hongxi ceremony, and at the same time prepared to restart the things recorded by the historian in the court.

Because many emperors in the previous dynasty did this, the historian was responsible for recording the emperor's words and deeds, including the process of the previous dynasty.

But when it came to Lao Zhu, it was also set up in the living note, but in October of the ninth year of Hongwu, it was abolished, and then it was used again in the fourteenth year of Hongwu, and then it was abolished again.

So what does Lao Zhu look like, the historian didn't stay at all, and the history of the Ming Dynasty and the wild records are also different, and later generations are basically counted by shoehorn face.

Of course, it is normal for emperors to be unhappy with the use of historians, because historians will write down bad things, such as Tang Taizong, who also has bad things written down by historians, and then this emperor of the ages will force the historians to change.

Now that Zhu Gaoxu has restarted the historians, and plans to record the things that will be compiled into the Hongxi Ceremony in the future, he must first arrange for the historians to record them in the imperial court.

You see, on the first day of today's use of the historian, it was recorded that the king of Qi intended to rebel and assassinated the emperor, and the emperor was benevolent and let go of his family.

Zhu Gaoxu was very satisfied at this time, so he humbly asked, what is Song Butang's proposal? How to change, how to change?

Song Li said loudly: "The minister suggests that you learn from the two songs." ”

Zhu Gaoxu asked, how about the two songs?

Song Li said: "Song Taizu reigned for sixteen years, and before he died, there were still four people, including the imperial brother Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangmei, the quasi-prince Zhao Dezhao, and the prince Zhao Defang. ”

Song Li loudly told the Song Dynasty about the clan system on the spot, and the ministers listened carefully, many of them heard it for the first time, and they couldn't believe it after listening to it.

The old Zhao family's hanging on the clan? Thinking about Lao Zhu again, he is simply selfish.

"In the first Song Dynasty, there was no hereditary statement, Taizu's eldest son Chaode Zhao was named the king of Yan, and after his death, several sons did not inherit it, and the descendants have completely become ordinary people."

"According to the Song system, the selection of capable clans starts with ordinary officials (even officials who are incapable are not qualified), and according to their contributions and merits to the imperial court, they will be improved year by year."

It is difficult to say how many clans in the Song Dynasty did not get the king.

"Courage." Song Li continued: "Your Majesty has three princes now, and maybe more in the future, five, or ten. ”

"Your Majesty must lead by example, and the princes must do the same, not just for the clansmen."

"That's the case," Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice.

For example, according to the Song system, the princes are sealed step by step, and the emperor's sons are not necessarily crowned kings, and the emperor's brothers must have not been crowned kings.

The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces listened to it incredible.

The clan system of the Song Dynasty is really ruthless, and in comparison, everyone is simply going to spit out the Ming clan system.

But what everyone was even more shocked was that everyone didn't know that the emperor was going to do this before.

Everyone thought that the emperor just wanted to cut the domain.

But according to Song Li, in the future, even His Majesty the Emperor's own sons will be restricted, and they may not all be crowned kings.

Song Li also said that although some people can't be crowned kings, according to the Song system, the clans can be officials, and they can also be the leaders of the local military and government, and they can also be civil officials in the court.

When the King of Shu and the King of Ning heard that they could also be prime ministers, their eyes couldn't help but light up, and they were a little confused.

Of course, the clans of the two Song Dynasty can only enjoy a lot of benefits from the imperial court when they become officials.

An ordinary heir is about fifty or sixty yuan a month, which is equivalent to the income of a five- or six-grade official, but the officials have other income, as well as job fields, which the clan does not have.

Now that Song Liquan said it, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military gritted their teeth when they heard it, this is like the life of an official, the old Zhu family is not a human being, and they are so mean to us.

"The Song Dynasty clan did not seal the field?" Zhu Gaoxu deliberately asked again at this time.

"Back to Your Majesty, no, the two Song titles are twelve levels, the king (prince), the heir, the prince of the county--"

"In terms of the prince, the food is from 10,000 households. However, the food is only an imaginary number, and only the food is sealed to have actual income. From 1,000 households to 100 households, it is divided into seven grades. The actual seal is about 4/10 of the number of virtual seals, and those who eat the real seals will be calculated according to the actual seal of one household and give 25 Wen per month. ”

"For example, a prince like my King of Shu in the Ming Dynasty, the food is 2,500 households, with 25 Wen per household, and the monthly income is only 62 guan (62 taels of silver), and there is not an acre of land, just in terms of income, it is about equivalent to an official of two Song Dynasty and five or six grades."

Of course, most of the princes of the Song Dynasty will have official positions, and the official positions will have official fields and other Yulu, so if there is no official prince, it will be very miserable.

For example, Taizu's son Zhao Dezhao did not leave anything after his death, and his sons could not inherit his throne.

The officials present listened to it and gritted their teeth, two Song Dynasty and a five- or six-grade official earned so much, look at the present.

In the past, a six-grade official in the Ming Dynasty had a monthly salary of about ten stones, even if it was ten taels of silver, it was only one hundred and twenty taels a year, and the six-grade officials of the Great Song Dynasty had sixty yuan a month, six times their income throughout the year, not to mention other income.

The old Zhu family gave their son so much land and so much money, and he was mean and stingy to the officials, and now he is remembered by all the officials in the hall.

Zhu Ming is really much worse than Zhao Song, and everyone is scolding in their hearts.

But think about it again, after the new emperor Zhu Gaoxu came to power, he first gave everyone double salary, and now he has changed his sect, and he really wants to support the emperor for the sake of the court and the officials of the world.

Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, who had not spoken, said at this time: "If Your Majesty can even implement this with his own sons, the minister has no opinion and fully supports it." ”

King Ning didn't believe that the emperor would even do this to his own son.

He always thought that the emperor just wanted to cut the domain.

As soon as these words came out, there was a chorus of voices all around, and the vassal kings all thought so, the emperor should lead by example, even your sons and grandsons cannot be hereditary, and they cannot be crowned kings, so we will obey you.

Zhu Gaoxu just wants to protect his sons.

In the future, except for the crown prince, no one else may be able to be crowned king, but they can be officials and generals.

Being an official and a general does not threaten the status of the crown prince, and the scene of fratricide will never appear.

As for the uncle snatching the throne of his nephew again, it will not happen in the future.

Because after the Ming Dynasty, the clan did not have a fief, let alone three guards.

The highest way for the clan to join the army is to be the commander of the guard, and the commander of the guard is useful, how can he rebel.

Not to mention that now all guards are stationed in two places separately from their families.

So King Ning said that if Zhu Gaoxu's own son and grandson could come according to the regulations, what else would he have to say.

"Do you have any objections?" Zhu Gaoxu asked at this time.

The king of Shu asked loudly: "How can we become officials and generals as vassal kings now?" ”

"Relatives like the King of Shu must participate in the imperial examination, including Wenju and Wuju."

In fact, the Song Dynasty could directly seal the official, but Song Li and Zhu Gaoxu only mentioned the emperor's lineage here, and in the future, except for the emperor's son, cousins and descendants must participate in the imperial examination to become officials.

The vassal king's face turned red: "Then my sons and grandchildren, won't they all be ordinary people in the future?" ”

The vassal king cannot be hereditary, and he still has to participate in the imperial examination, and if he fails the examination, he will really become an ordinary person.

Zhu Gaoxu's face was slightly gloomy: "Two Song can be like this, can't you?" ”

“。。” The vassal kings were completely speechless.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, whether the vassal king wanted it or not, they all knew that the reform of the clan was inevitable.

"Even if there is no objection, come and declare." With Zhu Gaoxu's voice, Yisha slowly appeared with the holy decree in his hand.

"Proclamation."

Only then did everyone know that the emperor had already prepared the holy decree.

From now on, the Daming clan will be restructured.

The current vassal kings still retain some of the previous treatments, that is, each vassal king can keep 1,000 mu of land (but have to pay taxes according to the imperial court policy), the annual grain is changed to 2,000 stones, all other fields, manors, and shops are confiscated, and all kinds of salt, oil, silk, silk, and even iron and forage are all abolished.

The number of rooms in the royal palace is limited to 15 rooms in each feudal palace.

If there is no guard, you can hire your own family, and each family cannot have more than 50 family members, and you cannot wear armor or have crossbows. (This is similar to the two songs)

Don't say it, if Song Li hadn't said the treatment of the two Song Dynasty before, the vassal kings on the scene would have to jump up, which is no different from copying the family.

Now everyone just thought that there was no reason, but they didn't expect the emperor to leave a thousand acres of family, and finally escaped death, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The vassal king is not hereditary, the descendants can be examined, and those who perform well can be knighted as appropriate, and the new vassal king will no longer divide the land in the future." This is also similar to the Song room.

The vassal kings paid taxes according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, paying land tax for fields and commerce tax for shops.

After reading the decree, Zhu Gaoxu said at this time: "I know that everyone is quite dissatisfied, but whether you are elders, brothers, or juniors, I just took your fields and manors, and you all still have a lot of food and wealth. ”

"I hope that in the future, you can all become the richest people in the Ming Dynasty, and you can prove with your strength that you are the richest people in the Ming Dynasty without the support of the court and me."

Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, immediately sang: "The ministers obey the order, thank you Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." ”

All around, followed by a wave of shouts, most of the people were obviously very reluctant.

What does it mean to completely cut the feudal domain? At the beginning of February of the second year of Hongxi, Zhu Gaoxu used blood and power to teach the people of the world a lesson.
