Chapter 52 The king does not have a fief, and the feudal domain does not succeed the domain
"How can there be two ways in the world?"
When Li Jin heard Zhu Biao's question, he couldn't help but laugh:
"The changes in the current situation are like clouds and smoke, and it is impossible to predict at all, only the most appropriate policy at the moment, and there is no national policy that is applicable to all eternity."
"The main purpose of the emperor today is to consolidate the imperial power and let the Ming Dynasty survive forever, while taking into account the responsibility of defending the frontier."
"In order to achieve this goal, these princes must have military power."
"If you don't want to leave a disaster for future generations, it's better to seal the king without fiefdom, and seal the vassal without succession."
"What does it mean to be a feudal king without a fief, and a feudal domain without a feudal domain?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Li Jin's words, his eyes gradually became serious.
If Li Jin really said the best of both worlds, he was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would spray him on the spot.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe this kind of nonsense.
But when Li Jin said that the policy should change with the change of the current situation, Zhu Yuanzhang was in awe.
Just as in this world, there is no eternal truth.
It was when Zhu Yuanzhang heard this that he decided to ask Li Jin, and now in his opinion, the most suitable policy.
Li Jin rubbed his chin lightly and said:
"Of course the king can, let them defend the emperor in the north against foreign tribes, this is a great achievement, and it should be encouraged."
"But fiefdoms don't have to."
"The vassal king's money is all from the treasury, where do they still need these fiefs?"
"As I said earlier, if a vassal king becomes obsessed with annexing land, how good will such a vassal king do to the imperial court?"
"The eyes of the vassal king should be focused on defending against foreigners, not on pleasure."
"And the current situation requires the emperor to divide the feudal king, but in the later generations, it is not necessarily necessary to divide the feudal king, and the emperor should control the feudal king in his generation."
"To avoid the overflow of vassal kings in the future, which will lead to an empty treasury."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded lightly, but still said with some hesitation:
"In that case, won't the future prince be left to fend for himself?"
Li Jin rolled his eyes and said:
"They are all already in the royal family, and they have stood at the top of the world's magnates since they were born."
"If you can't break out of the world, isn't that waste?"
"The so-called children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, Lao Huang, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing."
"No matter how down, they won't starve. Don't you see how many people in this world are working hard every day and not having enough to eat? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little angry, but in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing to say.
Zhu Biao next to him was extremely excited when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to ask:
"Then what does it mean to seal a feudal domain and not succeed a feudal domain?"
"It's simple."
Li Jin explains:
"The vassal king is a prince, naturally extremely noble, located above the hundred officials, and below the emperor, it can be said that he is powerful."
"But his descendants are not eligible to inherit the title of vassal king."
"He can only inherit his next rank until he is completely reduced to a common man."
"What? Isn't this the Push Grace Order? ”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately took the case.
Li Jin, a bastard, dared to use the Tui En Order on his son, which is really a bastard.
"Do you know what will happen if you let the emperor know that your mind is so vicious?"
Lan Yu next to him was still sitting well, but at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up, which scared Lan Yu so much that he hurriedly stood up.
The other people at the table also stood up tremblingly, their necks shrunk like quails, and they looked extremely well-behaved.
Only Li Jinfeng sat in place lightly, and even he had the heart to pick up the wine glass, take a sip, and blame Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Look at you, Lao Huang, let's have a meal together, you always lose your temper at every turn like this."
"What we say today can come out of my mouth and into your ears."
"I won't admit a word when I leave this door."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes widened, and he couldn't wait to give Li in a big fight now.
"If you still don't listen, if you don't listen, I won't say anything."
Li Jin saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to beat himself, and he was a little unhappy, so he put it on the.
"Say, let's hear what kind of crooked reasoning you have."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, curiosity finally defeated impulse.
"You sit down first."
Li Jin pressed Zhu Yuanzhang on the seat and continued to speak:
"Lao Huang, haven't you thought about the pattern of the world after the emperor is a hundred years later?"
"If the emperor dies, who else in this world can suppress them?"
"Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can take care of the feelings of brotherhood, but what about those civil officials?"
"Won't they encourage the prince to cut the domain?"
"He dare!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened angrily, looked at Zhu Biao, and startled Zhu Biao.
"Here you go again, don't freak out kids!!"
Li Jin complained about Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and righteous, but don't you understand how powerful the civil official's mouth is?"
"Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no intention of cutting the domain, those vassal kings will have trouble sleeping and eating every day when they hear the movement from the capital."
"When the emperor decides to implement the feudal king's borders, he should think of such a result."
"Brothers cannibalize each other, soldiers meet each other, this is completely predictable."
"Rather than that, it's better to just set the rules."
"The Tui En Order is not only weakening the vassal king, but also protecting the vassal king, don't you understand?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was completely silent this time, that is, he didn't want to believe that Zhu Biao would kill his brother.
But as Li Jin said just now, when Zhu Biao sat in that position, he thought about more than just brotherhood.
The righteousness of the family and the country, for the stability of the country, and for the sake of his children, Zhu Biao will also attack the vassal king.
This is true, except that it will take a long time.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up in despair, and then turned around and walked out of the house without saying hello.
Seeing this, Zhu Biao hurriedly followed, for fear that Zhu Yuanzhang would have an accident.
After Zhu Yuanzhang left, Lan Yu and the others breathed a sigh of relief and sighed:
"Finally gone."
Li Jin saw that these people were unproductive, and said disdainfully:
"Look at your cowardice, and you still have the face to call yourself a Ming general?"
Lan Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked Li Jin:
"Don't you know who he is?"
"Of course I do."
Li Jin looked like he had already understood.
When Lan Yu saw Li Jin say this, his face suddenly became extremely admirable, and he exclaimed:
"It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers."
"I didn't expect you to be so young and bold, Lan really convinced you this time."
"Hey, just a royal relative, what's there to be afraid of?"
The look of disdain on Li Jin's face was even heavier, this blue jade was also a bully who was afraid of the soft and the hard.
When you encounter someone with a harder background than yourself, how humble you have become, it's really better to be famous than to meet.
"Imperial relatives?"
This time it was Ma Sandao's turn to shout.
"Don't you know? He's the emperor..."
