Chapter 57: To seal the king's borders, to seal or not to seal?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can seal the king's borders, but he needs to be restricted."

"For example, the Han Dynasty's Tui En Order!"

Liu Bowen finally said his opinion, which was also his original idea.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to seal the king, but Liu Bowen was not particularly supportive, after all, the disadvantages of the sub-feudal system were there.

As long as it is separated, these problems will inevitably arise.

But before that, Liu Bowen was tired of fighting in the court, and he had no intention of doing anything in the court, he just wanted to return to his hometown as soon as possible and return to his hometown in Qingtian.

Planting fields every day, raising flowers, and spending his old age is his greatest wish now.

Therefore, Liu Bowen also went with the flow and voted in favor of the policy of sealing the king and guarding the border.

As a result, I didn't expect that now Zhu Yuanzhang is aggressive in the court, and he has to say what is in his heart.

With Zhu Biao in front of him, he was not afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang's blame, so he simply said his original thoughts directly.

However, when Liu Bowen said this, he attracted the attention of everyone around him to himself.

After all, everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang loves his prince very much, otherwise he would not have to give them the feudal king.

As a result, Liu Bowen actually offered such a poisonous plan to let Zhu Yuanzhang deal with his son, isn't this looking for death?

Tui En Ling, the first yang plot in the ages, is also the most important means for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to cut the domain, although the means are slightly gentle, but the soft knife killing is the most deadly.

It directly led to a large number of princes and grandsons of the Han Dynasty living in exile and becoming impoverished people.

Liu Bei is a typical example, after King Jing of Zhongshan, he ended up being a weaver and a peddler.

Everyone turned their attention to Zhu Yuanzhang again, wanting to see what Zhu Yuanzhang would do with Liu Bowen.

Everyone thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to be angry, and then when he pulled Liu Bowen out and chopped it up, Zhu Yuanzhang actually laughed:

"Haha, Berwyn, Berwyn, you finally said what you wanted."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's laughter, the officials looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in amazement, wanting to see if Zhu Yuanzhang was confused.

Shouldn't you just let people pull Liu Bowen out at this time?

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the strange eyes of the officials, but said:

"What we want to listen to is what we have in our hearts."

"We're not faint kings, let alone tyrants, you can say whatever you want."

"If there is none, it will be encouraged, and if there is, it will be changed, we only hope that our Ming Dynasty can become more prosperous in the hands of you and my monarchs."

"The minister is terrified."

When Liu Bowen saw Zhu Yuanzhang say this, he hurriedly replied.

"Alright, let's get flat."

Zhu Yuanzhang directly asked Liu Bowen to get up, and then said to Zhu Biao beside him:

"Biao'er, since you have a unique insight into the king of the king, then can you tell me whether this king is sealed or not?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang asking Zhu Biao again, the eyes of the civil and military officials moved to Zhu Biao again.

I always feel that today's Zhu Biao seems to be different, as if he was instructed by a master, is it enlightened?

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Zhu Biao said:

"Father, the son thinks it should be sealed!"

"Oh, so why do you say that?"

"There is a way that soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent."

Zhu Biao began to talk eloquently again.

In the past, he could only stand next to Zhu Yuanzhang and listen to state affairs, and rarely had this opportunity to express his opinions.

Now that it is the first time to say so many words, Zhu Biao feels that this feeling is really refreshing.

"The policy of the imperial court should be guided according to the situation, and the most correct policy should be implemented at the most appropriate time."

"There is no eternal truth, and there is no policy that is not easy for a hundred years."

"Now, our Ming Dynasty has just recovered the Northland, less than three years ago."

"And before our Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains has lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for more than three hundred years."

"Even the Central Plains north of the Yangtze River has been out of the control of the imperial court for more than a hundred years."

"After losing contact with the imperial court for such a long time, many of these places regard themselves as Hu people, and they only know the customs of the Hu people but do not know the culture of our Han people."

"In this case, it is a good policy to not only be able to resist the invasion of the remnants of the north, but also to educate the local people and consolidate my Ming dynasty."

After saying so many words in one breath, Zhu Biao only felt a little thirsty.

When the civil and military officials below heard Zhu Biao's words, they all had a feeling of clearing the clouds.

In particular, the sentence that the most correct policy should be implemented at the right time made those civil ministers nod their heads.

"Then according to His Highness's opinion, how should this king end the border?"

Li Shanchang asked curiously, after all, as Zhu Biao said just now, if the implementation of the king and the border has been detrimental to the Ming Dynasty, then how should it end?

Do you really want to use the Tui En order that Liu Bowen said just now?

"The king is not a fief, and the feudal is not a feudal domain."

Zhu Biao's words were loud, but he confused the civil and military ministers below.

Is the king not a fief?

Feudal or not successive?

What do you mean?

Only the corners of Lan Yu's mouth at the bottom kept twitching, this nephew was really too unparticular, so he copied it directly.

"I wonder what Your Highness means by this?"

Li Shanchang continued to ask.

Zhu Biao replied:

"The purpose of the king to defend the border is to let them guard the frontier for the imperial court, since this is the case, then there is no need to give them a domain."

"After all, if the vassal king owns the domain, they still need to focus on expanding the domain, I'm afraid it will affect them to lead troops to fight."

"The feudal domain does not succeed the feudal domain, their prince is sealed, and only his eldest son can inherit it, but he can only inherit the lower duke."

"And so on until you become civilians."

As soon as these words came out, all the officials below looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in shock, is this really going to use the Tui En Order on his son?

It's hard for them to believe! After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's character is very protective of calves, and now he is willing to give in, I don't know who said that he moved.

Everyone looked at Zhu Biao again, but they all felt that this person should not be Zhu Biao, after all, Zhu Biao's character has always been weak and obedient, and he will not argue with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Of all the officials, I'm afraid only Lan Yu knows the truth.

It's a pity that he can't share this matter with others, otherwise I'm afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang won't let him go.

"Not only that, except for the father, the future kings of the Ming Dynasty can no longer divide the vassal kings at will."

"After all, all the vassal king's money is provided by the treasury, and it can't add too much burden to the Ming treasury."

Zhu Biao went on to add:

"In the future, the children of the royal family will all have to fend for themselves."

In the last sentence, what Zhu Biao said can be described as extremely firm.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang created today's Ming situation, and his descendants should also follow suit.

From scratch, you are a hero.
