Chapter 93: The Sin of Cutting the Domain!
Inn.
Zhang Yu saw Storm Zhao.
It's just that he can't believe it.
The person in front of him who was in a trance turned out to be the big priest in his impression who was not angry and arrogant!
"What happened, Grand Priest? How could you ......"
Zhang Hao asked with some sadness.
Storm Zhao glanced up at him, and then let out a long sigh.
"Qingping, do you think it's right for the imperial court to cut the domain?"
"The kings support their own troops and despise the imperial court, if they do not cut the feudal domain, sooner or later there will be disaster!"
Zhang Hao replied without hesitation, this was not only his idea, but also the idea of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs.
If you don't cut down these vassal kings who support their own troops, will they also have a Ming version of the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the future?
When Emperor Taizu Gao divided the kings, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were opposed.
However, Taizu Qiangang was arbitrary, and for this reason, several courtiers who opposed it were executed, so he was able to divide the kings.
But whether it is the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of the Western Han Dynasty" or the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty", they all clearly tell the world that it is necessary to divide the kings, which is a bloody lesson.
Therefore, after the new emperor ascended the throne and became emperor, he vigorously promoted the policy of cutting feudal domains, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty naturally supported it.
After all, these arrogant and domineering vassal kings not only have heavy troops, but also most of them fish and eat the common people in their fiefdoms and do nothing else!
Therefore, it is imperative for the imperial court to cut the feudal domain!
And the excuse for cutting the feudal domain can also be said to be impeccable!
Storm Zhao first briefly described the theory of the three lines of defense, and Zhang Yu frowned when he heard it.
"It is true that Emperor Taizu Gao is eloquent and strategic, and when he divides the kings, he may indeed have this meaning, leaving three life-saving lines of defense for future generations."
"But the big priest, the problem is that these vassal kings have self-respect and do not respect the court, if they don't cut the feudal domain, they will form a country within a country, the prestige of the court will plummet, and the people will suffer from it, is this right?"
"The harm of the vassal king is not only in the present, but also in the future, without these three lines of defense, the Ming Dynasty is still stable, but if you keep these three lines of defense and let the vassal king become bigger and stronger, it will definitely become a big trouble!"
After all, Zhang Hao was a knowledgeable and talented official, and he could see at a glance that the theory of the three lines of defense was just an excuse for others to refute the cutting of the feudal domain.
The harm of the vassal king is far greater than the significance of the existence of this theory!
Therefore, the theory of these three lines of defense is untenable at all!
When Storm Zhao heard his words, his eyes lit up.
But it was only for a moment, and the light in Tyrant's eyes dimmed again.
"But for the sake of cutting the domain, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the people of Beiping Mansion, is this right?"
Hearing Storm Zhao's words, Zhang Yu also fell silent.
Regarding the fact that Bang Zhao played many times and requested the restoration of the supply of grain and grass in Beiping, Zhang Yu also heard about it.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Hao supports Storm Zhao.
But the key is that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and even His Majesty the Emperor vigorously promoted the reduction of feudal domains.
And you are a big secretary of the Criminal Department, an interview envoy in Beiping, but you are in opposition at this time, is it a little too inappropriate?
"The Grand Priest."
"The people of Peking will not suffer for too long."
"As long as the three guards of Yanshan leave Beiping, Xie Gui and they will do it."
"Yan King Zhu Di is ambushed, and the imperial court will restore the supply of grain and grass in Beiping!"
Storm Zhao's face changed after hearing this, and then he shook his head with a wry smile.
"It's not as simple as you think!"
"Now the hearts of the people of the north belong to Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and the people of Beiping all respect Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and Zhu Di has already suffered from hysteria on the surface!"
"If you don't have a suitable excuse and attack directly at Yan King Zhu Di, it will inevitably provoke a rebellion among the northern civilians!"
Northern civilians change!
Hearing these four words, Zhang Hao's face changed greatly!
He knows that the emperor has always cherished his good name.
If it really provoked the Northern Civilian Revolution, then even if they arrested Zhu Di, they would not be able to eat and walk around!
"What the hell is going on, Grand Priest?"
"The reason is very simple, the imperial court ignores the people of Beiping, and the Yanwang Mansion takes the opportunity to gather the hearts of the people!"
Storm Zhao briefly recounted the anthracite incident, and Zhang Hao was a little frightened when he heard it!
"This Yan King Zhu Di is really a wolf ambition!"
"Anthracite is only the first step, Yan Wangfu is very likely to open a warehouse to release grain, this is the second step!"
Storm Zhao's eyes were blank, "As soon as these two steps are completed, the hearts of the northern civilians will all belong to Zhu Di, the king of Yan!" ”
"And this is precisely his Zhu Di's biggest talisman, unless you are not afraid of stirring up a civil uprising, you will never be able to move Zhu Di, the king of Yan!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Hao's face was gloomy.
He didn't expect that Yanwang Zhu Di would actually do this step!
Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world!
If Zhu Di, the king of Yan, can win the hearts of the people of the north, then he will be the real king of the northern frontier!
"Of course, if you want to break this game, it's not impossible."
"Dare to ask the Grand Priest, what is the way?"
"Open a warehouse and release grain, regain prestige for the imperial court!"
Storm Zhao spat out the sentence lightly.
"Otherwise, why do you think the old man has to play many times and ask the court to restore the supply of grain and grass in Beiping?"
"His Majesty the Emperor chooses to suffer the people, and will only give the hearts of the northern civilians to Zhu Di, the king of Yan, this is what the old man is really worried about!"
Zhang Yu nodded after hearing this, and immediately spoke: "Don't worry, the lower officials will immediately repair a letter and send it back to the imperial court to inform the emperor of this matter!"
Storm Zhao was indifferent when he heard this, and did not respond.
Yan Wang Zhu Di has already taken the first step, how can he give the court a chance to react?
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Grand Priest!"
"As you expected!"
"Yanwangfu has opened a warehouse to release grain!"
Hearing this, Storm Zhao and Zhang Hao's faces turned pale in an instant!
Storm Zhao got up and looked out the window in amazement, only to see that someone was beating gongs and drums on the street.
"Fellow villagers, His Royal Highness King Yan feels that there is a shortage of grain and grass in Beiping, and the number of homeless and hungry people is increasing day by day, so he deliberately opened a warehouse outside the city to release grain to help the victims!"
"All the people of Beiping, who lack food at home, can go to the queue to receive food!"
"I hope everyone prays for His Royal Highness King Yan to bless and increase his longevity!"
As soon as the words fell, the common people were overjoyed and rushed out of the city.
Of course, there are many voices mixed in this, all of which are admiration and praise for Yanwang Zhu Di!
At this point, Yanwang Zhu Di has taken the first step!
Tyranny watched this scene, but he was helpless.
Obviously, a long time ago, he played the Son of Heaven and asked for the restoration of the supply of grain and grass in Beiping to stabilize the hearts of the people in Beiping.
However, the new emperor Zhu Yunwen did not listen, but issued an order to reprimand him for being violent.
Now that the hearts of the northern civilians are all owned by King Yan, what should the court do?
"The people's will is the trend of the times!"
"The climate of King Yan has been completed, the climate has been completed!"
Hearing Storm Zhao's words, Zhang Hao's scalp was numb in shock.
He looked at Storm Zhao with a shocked face, but was horrified to find that this chief secretary of the criminal department had burst into tears at some point.
"Is the people's desire and the general trend?"
"Could it be that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, will really rebel?"
Zhang Hao looked at Storm Zhao in bewilderment, but the latter did not respond.
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world!
Not a lie.
