The vassal king divides the feudal borders!

This strategy was formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

The main purpose of his original action was to hope that the power could be concentrated in the hands of their old Zhu family.

In this way, the problem of foreign ministers supporting the army and endangering the rule will be avoided.

After all, in Lao Zhu's view, his own family is his own family after all.

Every vassal king outside can be said to be the son of his Zhu Yuanzhang.

And when he heard Chu Ze say the word "cutting the domain", Zhu Yuanzhang, who knew the consequences of defeat in the battle for power, his eyes also became a little complicated.

Although Chu Ze hadn't started to elaborate yet, Zhu Yuanzhang had already faintly felt something in his heart at this time.

Power is the most dazzling thing in the world.

The vassal king has power in his hands, he has fiefs, rights, and troops!

If the vassal kings were to voluntarily hand over everything in their hands, it would probably be a fantasy.

However, if the emperor wants to weaken the vassal king, but the other party insists on refusing to hand over power... Blood, it's inevitable.

Undoubtedly, a struggle between grandson and son began.

"Your Majesty, it seems that you should have thought about the consequences... In fact, when I used to read the history of the Ming Dynasty, I was very curious about one thing, don't you like to think about the follow-up when you do things? ”

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's gradually strange look, Chu Ze himself looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with some frowns.

Asked a question that he had been curious about before.

It can be said that many people in the future will be curious about this question.

Before Lao Zhu made a decision, did he really not think about the long-term, or was it simple... He doesn't have such a long-term vision?

"What do you mean by that?"

"Chu Ze, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still frowning and thinking carefully, immediately became a little unhappy when he heard Chu Ze's question.

His question is somewhat insulting!

What is the difference between asking Zhu Yuanzhang this and scolding him for being short-sighted?

And when Zhu Biao heard the word "cut the domain", he was also a little embarrassed on the side.

He is not an ignorant person, and even said that in some aspects, Zhu Biao's ability may surpass Zhu Yuanzhang.

Just when he heard the word "cut the domain", Zhu Biao could already expect something.

Since it is a struggle for power, it is impossible to be gentle.

It's just that when he was still imagining all the possibilities, Chu Ze suddenly threw out such a sentence to Lao Zhu.

This frightened Zhu Biao.

Although he immediately opened his mouth to make a round for Chu Ze, lest he directly anger his father.

But obviously, Chu Ze didn't seem to care much about whether it would anger Zhu Yuanzhang.

He just wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to look at me like that... Tang Taizong also said: The husband uses copper as a mirror, and he can be dressed properly; With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. ”

"This is just the saying of the Three Mirrors, I remember mentioning in history that you always like to compare yourself to Taizong... That, Taizong is humble and tolerant of good ministers. ”

"Even if you are Taizong, you still know that no one is perfect! What are you? If you don't listen to persuasion, your temper is still strong..."

"I come from the next generation, although I can't remember the bits and pieces of your Ming Dynasty from the beginning to the end, but I still basically know some of the general direction."

"I'm telling you all the mistakes you've made now... To put it bluntly, I'm looking for a mirror of the future for you... Isn't this better than using history as a mirror? ”

"There has been a discussion before about whether things will change if you go back in time and tell people in the past about what might happen in the future!"

"At that time, it was concluded that there was a historical inevitability.

"The core of this proposal is that the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change! This means that you, as a party, know something about the future. But you'll probably still do it! Because, the personality of the person determines the direction in which you do things. ”

"What should happen, he will happen!"

Chu Ze's voice was not loud, but after he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang was directly speechless.

Even if he knew some of the future results, would he still do it?

Zhu Yuanzhang himself seems to be a little unclear about this assumption.

And Chu Ze looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was silent, and he still didn't mean to stop.

Just as he and Zhu Biao said.

He is a stone thrown into the lake of Daming, and his every move will gradually affect the calm of the entire lake, which is the so-called butterfly effect.

And historical inevitability, this is another way of saying ...

Therefore, Chu Ze really wanted to try whether the butterfly effect was stronger, or the historical inevitability was stronger.

"Your Majesty, I just asked you, before you make a decision, do you not like to think about the consequences, in fact, it is not my personal opinion, but the evaluation of most people in later generations..."

"You want your heirs to live better, so you have formulated a clan offering... And in order to let the younger generations benefit from the blessings of the ancestors, the policy of hereditary replacement was also set. ”

"As a result, the number of clans in the Ming Dynasty has gradually become huge, which has largely and directly or indirectly dragged down the economy of the Ming Dynasty."

"This, coupled with hereditary succession, led to an increasing number of nobles, who were not productive and greedy for pleasure. In the fiefdom, it can be said to be reckless! ”

"It is even unceremonious to say that these royal relatives and nobles are born with privileges and feel superior to others. Even the most basic human ethics are beginning to fade away. ”

"And because of the ancestral teachings of you, the great ancestor, the kings of later generations will not be able to go against the will of the ancestors, and can only watch the treasury gradually empty. In order to relieve the pressure on the imperial court, the people's taxes began to rise. ”

"What will happen if taxes go up? Presumably Your Majesty, you should know best, right? ”

As Chu Ze spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little dry in his mouth.

After glancing around, he walked directly to a small table next to him, then picked up the kettle on the table, and grunted twice directly to his mouth.

Regarding Chu Ze's move, Zhu Yuanzhang at this time surprisingly didn't open his mouth to stop him, but just watched quietly.

"Whew. Much more comfortable. Let's move on! ”

After putting down the kettle, Chu Ze turned his head to look at Zhu Yuanzhang on the throne again.

And after Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his actions, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's just that his smile can't help but be a little infiltrating in Chu Ze's opinion.

The words that originally came to his mouth were swallowed back by him.

And looking at Chu Ze, who suddenly stopped talking, Lao Zhu's meaningful voice also sounded.

"Why don't you continue?"

"Well, can you stop looking at me and laughing... You're smiling a little bit..."
