Chapter 16 Zhu Yunwen's idea of cutting the feudal domain
It was Zhu Song's kick that responded to Cao Qinghe.
Zhu Song kicked Cao Qinghe to the ground.
"Do you dare to think about it?"
Cao Qinghe got up from the ground in a panic and knelt in front of Zhu Song again.
"What does the prince mean?"
Zhu Song looked at Lao Cao and said the next words: "What does this king mean, what if other vassal kings rebel? ”
Cao Qinghe didn't want to answer: "If other vassal kings rebel, the prince has only two ways to choose, one is to resolutely sweep away such evil for the imperial court!" ”
"The other way is to be alone, and even if it is useless, there is no fault!"
Lao Cao said these words, how could Zhu Song not think of them?
"The king you said has long thought that if the rebel is very capable of fighting, he can fight the imperial court and the horses, and if he becomes the emperor by another person, what should we do? Do you still want to watch from the wall? ”
Lao Cao chewed Zhu Song's words carefully, and then his eyes widened.
"What the prince means is that this rebel will definitely succeed, right?"
"But it's almost impossible, for thousands of years. None of the vassal kings succeeded in their rebellion! ”
Zhu Song sighed again and again in his heart!
Yes, it is true that no vassal king has succeeded in rebellion before Zhu Di, let alone before Zhu Di, even after him, no vassal king has succeeded in rebellion, it can really be said that there is no one before or since.
"This king is just an analogy, if he really succeeds, and asks us for reinforcements and food, will I give it or not?"
Lao Cao couldn't understand it for a while, if he continued to watch from the wall, I was afraid that after this person ascended the throne, he would definitely settle the score, but if he gave it, it would be without a king and no father, even if he succeeded, the future generations would have to be infamous through the ages!
Zhu Song looked at Lao Cao, he really couldn't give himself a better inspiration, and shook his head.
"Don't think about it, Lao Cao, maybe it's really the king who thinks about it and doesn't know, of course the king hopes that that day will not come, even if the grandson wants to cut the vassal king, he can endure it!"
When Lao Cao heard Zhu Song's words, he finally relieved his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lord Wang, don't think about this kind of thing in the future, this ...... This is simply unfounded! ”
It's a shame, hehe.
Zhu Song shook his head and smiled.
……
It is said that the Luan of the Son of Heaven drove into the pass, and the vassal kings of the various domains along the way were not allowed to come out to greet him.
It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to see his son, it's just that Zhu Yuanzhang is full of murderous aura at the moment, and he has seen too many suffering people on this journey north, as well as too many officials who have done nothing and don't want to do anything, and those corrupt officials who loot the people's fat and ointment and fill their pockets.
Emperor Hongwu is going to kill again.
In the pass, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Yunwen.
"We have a lot of things to deal with in response to Tianfu this time, you don't have to go back with us, you can stay in the pass for the time being to visit your uncles, especially your fourth uncle, after you ascend the throne in the future, your fourth uncle will be the barrier of the northern frontier, and you will have to rely on him more!"
"Yes! Grandchildren remember the teachings of the emperor's grandfather! ”
Zhu Yunwen watched Zhu Yuanzhang's Luan drive gradually drift away, and then looked in the direction of Beiping, remembering that the emperor's grandfather said in front of hundreds of officials that he wanted to establish the emperor's grandson, and the expression on the fourth uncle's face was so helpless and resentful.
Zhu Yunwen has always been afraid of Zhu Di, just as Zhu Song said, he now has the heart to control the vassal king, and the more vassal kings he can control, the better.
In this way, when they ascend the throne and cut the domain, they can be more well-behaved.
There are too many sons of the emperor's grandfather, and the emperor's sons are too many, which means that there are many princes! There are many princes, which means that the burden of the Ming Dynasty is heavier.
For example, the current prince's annual salary is 10,000 stones, and 20 sons, 20 princes are 200,000 stones!
The Ming Dynasty has to bear so much expenditure every year, not counting those county kings who pay 2,000 a year, and those viscounts of hereditary dukes, marquises, and earls.
Of course, Zhu Yunwen also thought about cutting these heroes in the future, but if he wanted to cut them, he had to cut these vassal kings first.
Since he is the son of the emperor's grandfather, he should think more about the emperor's grandfather and the country!
10,000 stone a year, so many yulu, can you eat it all? You won't be able to finish eating! With so much money to raise these vassal kings, if it is useful, it will be given.
Even if it is the fourth uncle, he has always disliked the fourth uncle who has always been very jealous, he can fight well, can defend the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty, if he honestly fulfills the duty of a courtier, this 10,000 yuan will be given.
Moreover, just like the twentieth uncle, he is not as good as the fourth uncle, but he knows how to govern the people and how to make the people rich and have enough to eat, which is also ability.
But so many other uncles, such as the King of Shu and the King of Xiang, they don't have to fight on the border, and they don't want to govern the country and the people, and they don't have the ability to govern the people, why do they receive so much money every year?
There are so many officials, and they don't even have a hundred stone every year, and they are still living well?
In short, Zhu Yunwen has already begun to prepare to gather the hearts of these vassal kings, and those who have the ability will stay in the court for reuse.
If you don't have the ability to raise them according to the minimum standard for a year, it's okay if you don't raise them to death, if you really don't accept it, you can find a way to farm and get rich yourself.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen thought of the twentieth uncle again, the twentieth uncle is indeed very talented, after he ascended the throne, the fourth uncle and the twentieth uncle are his right-hand men.
But Uncle Twenty is also a smart man, and he doesn't give himself the slightest chance to grab a rope around his head.
If you don't give it, you won't give it, because of the face of the emperor's grandfather, it's not easy to beat yourself.
On the day he ascends the throne, if he is unwilling to take the initiative to hand over this rope, then he, who is the emperor, will be able to clean up this uncle.
Chen Biao, who was responsible for protecting the emperor's grandson, asked respectfully.
"Taisun, when will we leave for Beiping?"
Zhu Yunwen came back to his senses and asked, "Where are we now, how many vassal kings are around?" ”
"If you go back to Taisun, the closest thing to us now is King Ning except for King Yan, but Daning has already passed, do we want to go out of the customs again?"
"Daning ......"
Zhu Yunwen thought of his seventeenth uncle, Zhu Quan.
Uncle Seventeen is quite honest, and he also has the ability to lead the army to fight, although he is not as powerful as the fourth uncle, but he also has some ability, otherwise his grandfather would not have handed over Duoyan Sanwei to him.
"Don't go, I really don't like Guanwai, just stay in Guannai and go to Beiping to have a look."
"Yes."
