is different from his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang's domineering and fierce, Zhu Yunwen is a gentle person.

He had never experienced battlefield battles, lived in the court since he was a child, and accepted orthodox Confucianism.

Several teachers are talented Confucians.

Most of the Confucian people were idealists.

In particular, Fang Xiaoru, when Zhu Yunwen was in power, actually proposed to use the land system of the Zhou Dynasty, the well field system.

What is the Ida system?

That is, the land is owned by the state, and the state distributes the land to the people, and the people are not allowed to buy, sell, or transfer the land, and they have to pay a certain amount of taxes.

The advantage of this is to avoid land annexation, promote the development of productive forces, and recognize the legitimacy of land.

However, this was the policy of the slavery period, and it was not at all applicable to the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty at that time.

What's even more amazing is that Zhu Yunwen actually adopted it.

This is also one of the reasons for Zhu Yunwen's failure.

For Confucian officials, the Zhou Dynasty had always been the best ideal state, and in that era, the great harmony of the world could be achieved.

And if this ideal is to be realized, the system of the Zhou Dynasty must be restored.

The reason why the Confucian officials around Zhu Yunwen tried so hard to cut the feudal domain was because they wanted to increase the power of the emperor.

Let the emperor trust the civil officials to take power, so as to build their ideal state.

Zhu Yuanzhang set up the vassal king that year, and the original intention was to borrow the vassal king to consolidate the Zhu family's world.

Because he felt that his own people must be able to be trusted.

But Zhu Yunwen didn't think so, he felt that his talent was the biggest threat to the emperor.

So Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai proposed to cut the domain, and he resolutely agreed.

After all, he also yearns for the ideal country of Confucianism.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Yunwen is an idealist.

And Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru, who are also idealists, naturally have the same smell as him.

But Zhu Guanwen is not Zhu Yunwen, he is a typical realist.

There's no way he's going to run to cut the clan before his ass is hot.

Why did Zhu Yunwen fail to cut the domain?

It's because he's in a hurry!

Others cut the feudal domain in the Han Dynasty, but after the efforts of the two generations of emperors in Wenjing, he wanted to cut the feudal domain as soon as he took the throne, didn't he ask for his own death?

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang's residual prestige still exists, otherwise the vassal king who holds military power would not be so easy to cut.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Guanwen looked up at Huang Qi and the others, and said lightly: "The words of the two gentlemen are really reasonable, but as soon as the imperial grandfather left, I did something to my own uncle, isn't it a bit inappropriate?" ”

"This ....."

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai glanced at each other, and said with a straight face: "His Royal Highness the Emperor is benevolent, but he still has to focus on state affairs, and cutting the feudal domain is a major matter of the country, and he can't spend his children with private feelings." ”

"Mr. Huang is right!"

Zhu Guanwen nodded, and then changed his words: "Then I want to know, where are the Yan and Ning kings you are talking about?" ”

Huang Zicheng was stunned for a moment and replied: "King Ning should be in King Ning's Mansion after attending the funeral ceremony." ”

"Where's King Yan?"

"Still in Huai'an!"

"Huai'an?" Zhu Guanwen thought about it for a while, and soon knew the reason.

Zhu Di in history, after learning that Zhu Yuanzhang had died, rushed to Nanjing day and night for funeral.

Zhu Yunwen actually stopped Zhu Di in Huai'an on the grounds of Zhu Yuanzhang's edict that 'all the kings are in the country, and there is no word for the Beijing teacher'.

This approach is almost ruthless.

But why say almost ruthless, not ruthless?

Because of Zhu Yunwen's reason, it only applies to his fourth uncle Zhu Di.

Other uncles, if you want to come to the funeral, you can come, it doesn't matter if you cry all day long.

Zhu Yunwen's differential treatment is naturally jealous of Zhu Di.

Although there is indeed a sentence in Zhu Yuanzhang's edict, this approach is really a bit disgraceful.

Either everyone doesn't come, or everyone comes.

If you stop one, against whom?

Zhu Yunwen's approach was almost to slap Zhu Di in the face.

And Zhu Di is not the kind of person who is willing to be slapped in the face, so when he gets home, he is ruthless, arms himself, and prepares to hit his face back.

It turns out that if you come out and slap your face, sooner or later you will have to pay it back.

Regarding Zhu Yunwen's almost ruthless approach, Zhu Guanwen also expressed his helplessness.

But he has his own plans.

"Filial piety comes first, no matter what, King Yan is the son of the emperor's grandfather, his father died, how can there be a reason why his son does not come to fulfill his filial piety, he decided to let King Yan enter Beijing!"

"His Royal Highness, why is this?"

Huang Zicheng hurriedly said: "I have refused King Yan to enter Beijing before, but now the order has been changed, so where is the majesty of the first emperor?" ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness, the enthronement ceremony is about to be held, and at this time, isn't it a complication to let King Yan enter Beijing?" Qi Tai also hurriedly advised.

Zhu Guanwen glanced at them and sighed: "Since ancient times, the Ming monarch and the ministers can not engage in conspiracy, but they can't not understand the power scheme, you are in the court, don't you even understand such a simple truth?" ”

"What, what?"

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai glanced at each other, their faces full of astonishment.

In the past, they preached Zhu Yunwen and instilled in Zhu Yunwen the way of being a king, but they didn't expect Zhu Yunwen to educate them in turn now.

They were a little overwhelmed for a while.

"You said that King Yan and King Ning were the biggest threat, why did others send them to the door, but you want to turn him away?" Zhu Guanwen asked rhetorically.

"This...."

Qi Tai hesitated for a moment, and said with some uneasiness: "Once King Yan enters Beijing, I am afraid that there will be trouble." ”

"He brought troops into Beijing?" Zhu Guanwen asked rhetorically.

Huang Zicheng hurriedly replied: "King Yan once led a large army to conquer Mobei, and his prestige in the army is extremely high, and he has a very close relationship with the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. ”

"Since you are not bringing troops into Beijing, what are you afraid of? As for winning people's hearts, are all your courtiers as the emperor's grandfather rebellious? ”

"But ....."

Huang Zicheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something more.

Zhu Guanwen directly waved his hand to interrupt his words, and said firmly: "Even if you don't let King Yan enter Beijing, he will find a way to enter Beijing, and his method will make you speechless!" ”

"How?" Qi Tai couldn't help but say curiously.

Zhu Guanwen glanced at him and said, "Didn't Mr. Huang say it?" King Yan has a close relationship with the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, so does he need to continue to communicate? ”

"Your Highness means that King Yan will send henchmen to Beijing?" Huang Zicheng reacted.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as a henchman, I guess, it should be his three sons!" Zhu Guanwen squinted and said.

"How is this possible?" Huang Zicheng was surprised.

Qi Tai couldn't believe it: "Yes, King Yan only has three sons, how could he let them put their lives in danger?" ”

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "His Royal Highness the Emperor of Qiqi, Rong Guogong asks to see!" ”

Rong Guogong?

Zhu Guanwen was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Let him come in." ”

"Yes."

Soon, Mei Yin came to Zhu Guanwen and saluted him: "Minister, Mei Yin, I have seen His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson." ”

"Uncle doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat." Zhu Guanwen greeted Mei Yin warmly.

Mei Yin shook her head and said with a solemn face: "His Royal Highness, the minister came here to inform you of something important, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, asked to let Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui keep filial piety for the first emperor!" ”
