Chapter 710: Clan Reform, Sealing the Vassal King Overseas
After Zhu Yijun saw the scene, he was also quite moved and smiled slightly.
He had to admit that any decision made by him, the emperor, really had a huge impact on the society of the Ming Dynasty.
Because he, the son of heaven, wants to do this, many literati in Jiangnan really want to go against the nature of human beings who only want to stay in the comfort zone, and go to remote places to speed up the development of those places that are not culturally and educationally developed.
"I hope that in the future, these people can really make a name for themselves in the southwest and northwest."
Zhu Yijun said this to himself after a while.
Li Chengliang, who came with Zhu Yijun, said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, in the opinion of foolish ministers, even if they are still inevitable to come back in the future, they will understand the difficulties of the imperial court more and have a deeper understanding of this country and nation." ”
Zhu Yijun nodded.
Then, Zhu Yijun asked Huang Xun: "Have all the clans arrived?" ”
Huang Xun replied: "It's all here." ”
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun said: "Next are these clans, as a royal family, they also have to take responsibility." ”
this day.
It was evening.
The lights of thousands of homes have not yet been lit.
In the palace of the Forbidden City in the southern capital, it is already brightly lit.
Zhu Yijun sat on the throne in the center of the main hall, looked at the clans gathered together, and after asking for warmth, he first said to the King of Shu and the King of Jin who were escorted:
"You two sell salt privately and hoard salt, which really disappoints and makes me angry."
"Do you still know who you are?"
"How can anyone who is a royal noble, but desperately digging the foundation of his own country!"
Zhu Yijun questioned the two of them sharply as he spoke, and then looked at the other clansmen:
"And you!"
"Don't think they're clean."
Syllable!
Zhu Yijun then slapped a bunch of charges on the case: "These are all the crimes of you vassal kings, and they are not less than them, but they are not as excessive as the two of them, but it is more than enough to talk about a capital crime!" ”
"In short, if I kill all of you, there may be one or two wronged, but they will definitely not all be wronged, even if I see Taizu under Jiuquan in the future, Taizu will not think that you are too much!"
After Zhu Yijun said this, the clansmen present all lowered their heads.
"But I didn't plan to kill you, it's not that you shouldn't kill you, it's useless to kill you."
"Because most of the people you basically killed are still from your own clan, what's the use of killing you?"
"Wouldn't the later clans kill their own clansmen?"
"Instead of killing you, it's better to eliminate this phenomenon of roommates."
"Therefore, after consulting with several ministers, I decided to adopt the proposal of Wang Ge Lao and Shen Ge Lao to carry out a more in-depth reform of the clan system."
"In the future, you don't have to be a vassal in Middle-earth, either stay in the southern capital and let me personally supervise the people and do what you can for the imperial court, or you can go overseas to become a vassal."
"There are many overseas lands, once you move out, it will be enough for you to separate from your children, and you don't have to worry about harming each other because of the struggle for power and profit."
After Zhu Yijun said this, the clansmen present were all shocked.
They are used to being a waste-like prince outside, and they are naturally reluctant to let them go back to the southern capital suddenly.
After all, there are too many officials in Nandu, and they will keep an eye on their every move.
However, they are even more reluctant to go overseas.
Because, not to mention that overseas is a wild and remote place, I don't know what danger there will be on the way there.
In those days, many people were in awe of the sea, especially the feudal lords of the inland regions.
"Your Majesty, the ministers promise not to come nonsense again, they will definitely be in harmony with the clan, and please don't listen to the instigation of traitorous ministers and change the ancestral system without permission!"
King Zhu Changjie was quite excited at this time and asked Zhu Yijun to come.
Zhu Yijun sank his face and said, "I'm not discussing with you, I'm letting you make a choice." ”
After hearing this, Zhu Changjie had to say yes.
Then, Zhu Yijun looked at the King of Shu: "Tell me, do you want to stay in Nandu, or do you want to go overseas?" ”
At this time, the king of Shu replied: "Your Majesty, please allow the ministers to stay in the southern capital, and the ministers are willing to change their past mistakes, even if they are to get rid of the prince and only be a common man." ”
"Why?"
Zhu Yijun asked.
The king of Shu replied: "The minister knows that he is deeply guilty, so he wants to guard the tomb for Taizu to pay for his sins." ”
Zhu Yijun looked at King Jin again at this time: "What about you, King Jin?" ”
King Jin replied: "The minister is the same, he is willing to stay in the southern capital, stay in the filial piety, even if he is only a common man, he is not willing to abandon his ancestors, after all, in loyalty, the minister is already lacking, and filial piety can no longer be lacking." ”
"Interesting."
"What about you?"
Zhu Yijun then looked at the other clans.
At this time, many clansmen all replied in unison: "The ministers are willing to stay in Nandu!" ”
"Good!"
"You'd rather be a commoner than go out!"
Zhu Yijun smiled faintly, and his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment.
The fear of the sea of these clansmen was obviously beyond his imagination, and one by one they would rather have a title than a title, they all wanted to stay at home and wait for death, and they didn't want to risk going overseas.
Zhu Yijun therefore wanted to force these vassal kings to go overseas.
But if it is mandatory, Zhu Yijun is a little worried that these vassal kings will rather die than go overseas, or would rather rebel and accuse him Zhu Yijun than go overseas.
At least the former has already appeared.
Some convicts would rather commit suicide than go overseas to receive exile.
Most people in this era believe in an afterlife and settle down, so going overseas is the most difficult thing for him to accept compared to death.
However, Zhu Shouhong, the king of Lu, stood up decisively at this time and said:
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go overseas and spread the emperor's style to Zhuyi."
"Good!"
Zhu Yijun said again, and said: "Very good, pass the decree, change the title of King Lu to the king of Wei, hope to forever defend our emperor Ming Haijiang, order the division to discuss his fiefdom, should give him 50,000 hectares of fertile land, in order to ensure that he teaches barbarians overseas, and allow the restoration of the three guards." ”
Zhu Shouhong was busy thanking him at this time.
"Retreat!"
Because the rest of the clans were unwilling to go overseas, Zhu Yijun directly announced his retirement from the dynasty and did not say much to these clans.
As for the next stay in Nanjing of these clans, there is no need to worry, no matter how you have to ask about the crime, demote the lord, and punish it.
Anyway, these clans are also dead pigs who are not afraid of boiling water, and as long as they are not traitors and murderers, the emperor will not take their lives.
It's just that after Zhu Yijun left, King Zhu Changjie first sneered at Zhu Shouhong, and then said in a weird manner:
"King Lu changed to King Wei, and he was rewarded with 50,000 hectares of land at once, but I don't know if there is a life flower?"
"yes!"
"Where can I find 50,000 hectares of land overseas as a fief, even if I want to find it, I'm afraid that I will get the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon, and when you have a division to gather such a domain, I really don't know if King Wei is still there."
At this time, Zhu Yingsui, the king of Dong'an, also laughed and said, and looked at King Wei like a fool.
"Don't talk about it!"
Yiwang Zhu Yijun came over at this time and said a word, and then bowed his hand to King Wei and said:
"I know that King Wei is willing to stand up because he understands the suffering of the Sacred Heart and wants to repay the country, not only not to let His Majesty be completely disappointed in our clan, but also to avoid His Majesty being even more angry, and also to disappoint the people of the world, thinking that the royal family and clan are all gutsless rats, and no one dares to take risks for the country."
"I'm ashamed!"
Zhu Yijun sighed and said: "I also have this heart, but when I think of the sea and the sea, not to mention the old mother at home, I hesitated and did not dare to stand up. ”
"Don't dare!"
King Wei replied.
Zhu Changjie smiled at this time, and said to Zhu Yingsui: "What are you pretending to do, saying that there is an old mother in the family, it doesn't make people disgusting, as if we don't know the righteousness." ”
"That's right, one is a fool and the other is a hypocrite."
Zhu Yingsui echoed, and then looked back at King Wei and King Yi.
And Li Chengliang and Wang Xijue and other ruling ministers of Suihu sighed after knowing this.
Li Chengliang said: "This royal nobleman, now there is only one King Wei and some blood, which is really embarrassing." ”
"For more than 200 years, it is inevitable that Gou An will be lazy."
"However, it is rare to have a Wei Wang, we have to do this well to ensure that Wei Wang can really be better overseas than at home, so that it can have the effect of standing up and winning trust."
Wang Xijue said at this time.
Shen Li followed up and said: "Your Majesty must have this intention, so he directly ordered to give him 50,000 hectares of land overseas. ”
Wang Xijue said: "In this way, first of all, we can't give the uncivilized place as the fief of the king of Wei, and secondly, we can't let the king of Wei leave the official army too far to avoid making it unable to gain a foothold, so that in the future, let the king of Wei pay money and grain in the land of the domain, so that the other kings in the Beijing domain can be greedy, and then begin to have the idea of going overseas to serve the domain, so that there will be fewer clans in the country, and the pressure of raising the clan will be further transferred to the people outside." ”
"50,000 hectares of land, at present, Hitachi Province in Japan is the most suitable."
Li Chengliang said at this time.
After hearing this, Wang Xijue and Shen Li hurriedly looked at Li Chengliang together:
"How so?"
Li Chengliang said: "Since it can't be too wild, then the many islands of Java in the uncivilized South Ocean are not suitable. ”
"At present, either Annam, Japan, or Burma, there is enough cultivated land in these places to be allocated to King Wei;"
"And not too far, just Annam and Japan are suitable."
"But Annan is not as suitable as Japan, and because Annan is connected to the mainland, it can be directly governed in the future!"
"Japan could divide its Honshu into two, with Kyoto as the center, east of Kyoto, as the kingdom of the vassal king, and west of Kyoto, which would be directly governed by the imperial court."
"In the east of Kyoto, in the future, not only one feudal king can be crowned, but multiple feudal kings can be crowned, and it is best that in the future, His Majesty's heirs will be sealed east of Kyoto and west of Edo, and east of Edo will be given to the clan relatives Yuanzhi."
"In this way, the whole of Japan as a whole will be divided into two parts, and it is even possible that it will always be in this state of division, and it will be difficult to reunify!"
I forgot to update it today.,There's still a chapter and ten o'clock update.
