Chapter 354, the first filial son of the Ming Dynasty
Get out of the delivery room.
Emperor Zhu and Empress Luo walked side by side on the way back to the palace.
The surrounding guards and palace maids all knew what the emperor and his wife were going to talk about, so they just followed from a distance.
Anyway, there could be no assassins within this high wall.
"Queen, I won't worry about any old things."
Emperor Zhu walked forward with his hands behind his back, and Empress Luo followed suit, which was a bit of a husband singing with a wife.
But now the two have completely different minds.
For Luo Fangmei.
Zhu Yichi is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he will succeed the Ming Dynasty in the future.
And his position as the crown prince is very stable.
As long as you don't make any big mistakes.
Emperor Zhu will not do anything to abolish the elder and the younger.
This is first of all an indecent matter - how much Emperor Zhu attaches importance to maintaining the authority of etiquette, Empress Luo is very clear.
But so many sons went out, and many of the territories seemed to be very developed powers, such as in the New World.
Empress Luo had seen the terrain of the New World, where the territory could easily feed a population similar to that of the Central Plains.
Now the New World is empty.
But with the speed of the Ming Dynasty's immigration to the New World.
Twenty-three years later, that is, after Emperor Zhu retired as Emperor Taishang.
There are at least tens of millions of Chinese people in the New World.
And basically they are all young and strong.
Although it is said that Emperor Zhu will not divide the New World to one person.
But it is obvious that Zhu Yixin, the second prince who was divided into Jinshan, is the prince with the most stable status, the largest territory, and the most resources.
And he is the son of Concubine Shi.
Now the top of the Ming Navy, the proportion of the Tan family is very high.
The second prince has an identity, a territory, and connections in the navy.
How can such a prince not be feared?
"Queen, the times are different, the boss is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, what he needs to understand is not the military, but the law and management, the Ming Dynasty is too big, so big that the cost of continuing to expand has been greater than the benefits, so to be my successor, you don't need the Continent of Heroes, what you need is to master the balance, the balance of the government and government. But the second eldest, or the princes who were divided into the New World, were different, they were going to lead their respective kingdoms to expand and fight. It is difficult for the Old World to fight any major wars, and the goal of monopolizing the New World will take me a lifetime to accomplish. ”
Emperor Zhu said with his hands behind his back.
"Our children and grandchildren can't be raised as fat pigs like those vassal princes of Taizu, my children are not just emperors and kings, this is not their only way out, in the future, I will definitely have a lot of children and grandchildren, I can't arrange a crown for each of them, so I will give them the best education!" The Ming Imperial Consortium will establish an education foundation for royalty members, so that my children and grandchildren will receive the best education, and their future can be in business, politics, the military, doctors, bureaucrats, and lawyers. ”
"The future Ming will not be a monarchical dictatorship, and the boss will not become an emperor with absolute authority like me, and his power as an emperor will be limited. You have to remember that you can't bind the emperor's courtesy, you can't bind others, and in the same way, the emperor who has absolute power is not protected by power. ”
Emperor Zhu couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the puzzled look on Empress Luo's face.
At least until now, there are still many people like Queen Luo who can't understand what he did.
But Zhu Daohua is clear.
Any unfettered power will be countered.
There was only one Founding Emperor.
It is impossible for Zhu Yichi to get as much authority as Zhu Daohua.
Even, just approaching, it's hard.
Unless Zhu Daohua is like Zhu Yuanzhang.
Let's kill first.
Use fear and killing to maintain the authority of the imperial power - but if the imperial power needs to rely on violence and killing to maintain it, then in the future, when the imperial power is weakened, the royal family will also face violence and killing.
Such a situation has been circulating in the land of China for nearly 2,000 years.
If Zhu Daohua wants to put an end to this situation, he must establish the authority of the courtesy – in other words, he must promote constitutionalism.
But advancing constitutionalism does not mean that the royal family has to relinquish power.
Opposite.
The power of the royal family may even be strengthened as a result.
It's just that power will no longer be concentrated in the hands of the emperor alone.
The prince surnamed Zhu, who was divided into the Ming Dynasty, was a member of the royal family who was active in politics and business.
In the House of Representatives.
It must be led by influential royals.
The main political party in the House of Commons will not be without royalty.
In the business world.
The Daming Imperial Consortium will support the promising royal descendants, with the Imperial Consortium as the core, surrounded by small consortia.
The royal family of the Ming Dynasty.
Be like an octopus, stretch your tentacles to every corner and master everything.
This is the solution given by Emperor Zhu to solve the future of the royal family.
Give them the best education.
Train them to be elites in all aspects.
With the emperor as the core and the members of the royal family as the tentacles, an octopus-like dynasty was formed.
Best.
can make the Ming Empire unable to leave the royal family.
In this way, isn't it the extension of the national ancestry?
And to achieve this.
The power of the emperor cannot be too great.
Otherwise.
Future generations still can't avoid being raised as pigs
"Did you hear that? Concubine Li gave birth to a prince, and the great son of tomorrow publicly declared that this was the future king of Joseon! ”
Seoul.
Inside Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Several ministers in red robes and black veils were whispering.
The king of North Korea, Li Su, who was sitting on the throne, also looked a little unenergetic, and his face was very ugly.
It's not because the fourteenth prince of the Ming Dynasty may become his successor - Li Qi has no children, if he recognizes an adopted son as the crown prince from the side branch, it is estimated that he is not as close as his grandson in his heart.
And.
If it was the prince of the Ming Dynasty who became the king of Joseon.
Then those rebellious Eastern Society rebellious parties won't dare to make a mistake, right?
Moreover, the situation in North Korea is not optimistic.
The power of the Dongxue Rebellion Party is getting bigger and bigger.
Busan and Ulsan have completely fallen into the hands of the rebel party, and Gyeongju is surrounded.
The so-called "Dongxue Revolutionary Army" has engulfed more than 300,000 people.
So many people.
Relying entirely on the power of North Korea, I am afraid that it will not be able to extinguish it.
Now the ministers of the two classes are discussing the need to send troops to the upper country to exterminate the rebellious party.
However, the wealthy clans of the two classes were worried that Shangguo would directly abolish the Korean state and implement the county system in Korea.
"Ask for troops from the country, will the Son of Heaven send a governor to supervise the country?"
"I'm not afraid of sending a prison to the country, I'm afraid of going directly to the county."
"In that case, wouldn't North Korea be at the hands of us and others? How good is this, we can't become sinners of the Korean country! ”
Similar voices have been raised.
And the king of Joseon, Li Su, is actually just a puppet of two classes of wealthy families, if it were not for the canonization of the Ming Emperor, I am afraid that he would have been worse than the Japanese emperor.
So now I am also squinting, looking like I am closing my eyes and resting my mind, and let the people below talk about it.
Right now.
Zhao Gengsheng, the lord of the Zhao clan in Pyongyang, snorted coldly: "What are you talking about!" Daming is the parent of North Korea, how can there be children in the world who criticize their parents? If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, my Korea would have been destroyed by the Japanese more than 100 years ago, how could there still be today's country? As the filial son of the Ming Dynasty, how the Ming Dynasty wants to arrange North Korea, we all need to accept it! Kim Yin Dae, don't forget. Your family was a hero who followed the great tomorrow back then! ”
Zhao Gengsheng's words made the faces of the North Korean ministers who were discussing at the scene change one after another.
North Korea prides itself on being the first filial son of the Ming Dynasty.
As a great filial son.
Of course, you have to do what your parents say.
Not to mention arranging a prince to be the king of Joseon.
Even if the state of Korea is directly abolished and the province of Korea is established.
There can be no objections.
Otherwise, what kind of filial son is it?
Anton Kim's Kim Yindae's face also changed slightly.
Kim In-dae is now the head of the Korean Constitution Office.
A high-ranking official in the first rank.
But in fact, Anton Kim was a local small clan five years ago.
Although there are several officials who go abroad, they are not considered to be Koreans.
Kim In-dae is now able to speak to the Korean court.
It all depends on the battle of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty that year, Anton Kim organized tens of thousands of Korean people to accompany the army, and was able to make meritorious contributions and become a Korean clan, ranking in the forefront of the two classes of wealthy clans.
This is all because of the thick legs of the big tomorrow.
And Jin Yin's great ability has been promoted from a small talent to a big official in just a few years.
It's entirely because Anton Kim has become a two-class wealthy family - the wealthy family is privileged.
The imperial examination in North Korea is actually a special promotion for the two classes of wealthy families.
And of course, Kim Yin's big ass, who has now become a wealthy family, has also changed, when he heard that someone in Daming wanted to annex North Korea.
Patriotism was suddenly surging.
After all.
If North Korea becomes a Ming province.
He Jin Yinda, as well as the children of Anton Jin, have to be like tens of millions of scholars in the Ming Dynasty.
From the talent officer of the nine grades, he slowly boiled up his qualifications.
Even if it's a smooth career.
Each level can be smoothly ascended.
If you can enter the cabinet before the age of 50, you can be regarded as the emperor of tomorrow.
And in the current North Korean country, he Kim Yin became a senior official at the age of 30.
However, Zhao Gengsheng's merciless lesson made Jin Yinda react suddenly.
He knew he had just lost his word.
Not to mention the Andong Kim family, who became a wealthy Korean family because of his meritorious service to the Ming Dynasty.
Any wealthy family of two classes in North Korea has no weight to speak in front of the Ming court.
Even if Emperor Zhu really wants to swallow North Korea.
Anton Kim could not object, so he could only applaud.
Otherwise, the entire Anton Kim clan will be gone.
Whether it is a sinner of North Korea is another matter.
Anton King's sinners are condemned.
Now he could only bow his head in disgrace, not daring to say any more.
"Oh, it's useless!" Old Man Zhao sighed, "With the guns given by the country, I can't beat the Dongxue rebels, so go on like this. If you don't invite the country to send troops, I'm afraid that the traitors will hit Seoul. ”
Zhao Gengsheng is not so much a reprimand as a lament.
I can't help it.
If North Korea can put the chaos down on its own.
That's good, of course.
North Korea has nothing to do, and it is usually filial.
How could the kingdom have the intention of swallowing North Korea?
So after the news of the rebellion of the Eastern Society came.
The two classes of wealthy families in North Korea have reached an agreement - if they can go to the country without bothering, they will not bother.
After all, if you live behind closed doors, you can still live a good life for the two classes of wealthy people.
In the unlikely event that the kingdom intervenes, it will be necessary to resolve the affairs of North Korea.
The first thing to be cut out must be the privilege of the two classes of wealthy families.
In fact.
The rebellion of the Eastern Society can go so smoothly.
He also monopolized all the resources of North Korea with the two halves of the wealthy family, and the people were struggling to make a living, and many wealthy families had no way to rise, so they took refuge in the Eastern Society.
It is equivalent to a group of North Korean elites rebelling with a group of oppressed North Korean civilians.
Relying on the DPRK national official army, it can no longer be suppressed.
But asking for help from Daming is really worrying.
The current Great Tomorrow is a businessman.
It's not the Wanli Emperor of the year.
It's very calculated.
If you want him to send troops, not to mention whether he will send the minister and governor of Korea, at the very least, he must extort a military budget first.
But where is the money in the DPRK.
North Korea is a subject country.
Therefore, there is no customs to collect customs duties - customs duties are central taxes, and North Korea has no right to collect them.
There are no customs duties.
You can only rely on local commercial taxes and land taxes.
But North Korea is very poor, and there is no business anywhere.
If commerce cannot collect taxes, it can only rely on land taxes.
In fact, North Korea has a large population and a lot of land property, but it does not collect any land tax.
The reason is also very simple.
Most of the fields in North Korea belong to two classes of wealthy families.
And the two classes of wealthy families are exempt from tax - this tax method is really comparable to the Ming Dynasty that died 200 years ago. What's even more absurd is that due to the 500 years of reproduction of the Li Dynasty, the praise of the rebels after the Renchen War, and the betrayal of officials. The proportion of two-class households in the total population is rising, and at this time it has accounted for about 6 to 70% of the total population.
Sixty or seventy percent of the people in a country don't have to pay taxes, and you don't need to think about how bad the finances will be.
Of course.
The two classes of wealthy families are rich.
But this is the money of the two classes of wealthy families, not the money of the Korean court.
Please send troops to the country, if you don't pay for it.
Then the Ming court will definitely put forward other conditions.
Either send the governor to the governor of Korea, or let the fourteen princes be the king of Korea.
Of course.
What the two classes of wealthy families are most afraid of is that the Ming Dynasty will directly withdraw from Korea and build North Korea Province.
Then everyone's privileges are gone.
The point is, if the Ming Dynasty is determined to do this.
North Korea's two classes of giants really can't stop it.
In case the Ming Dynasty wants to abolish the two classes in North Korea, divide the land to the bottom, and set up the same imperial examination as the Ming Dynasty, so that everyone has an equal chance to rise.
The Koreans will definitely be happy to welcome the king.
Right now.
An official in a red robe hurriedly ran in, sweating profusely and before he had time to wipe it, he fell to the ground with a puff and said in horror: "Oh no! Oh no! Something is wrong! Something is wrong! ”
The North Korean officials present were shocked when they saw this.
Zhao Gengsheng hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The Donghak thieves waved the banner of "abolishing the two classes and dividing the fields equally", which immediately attracted many people to join, and now the whole of southern Korea is in chaos! ”
