Chapter 102: The First Yang Conspiracy of the Ages

In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty relieved the vassal states with a tuien order.

The Tui En Decree is also known as the first yang conspiracy of the ages.

The inexplicability of the Tui En Decree lies in the fact that it cleverly diverts contradictions, exploits human greed, and makes the descendants of princes and kings constantly fall into the division of family property.

What is even more ingenious is that the princely system inherited by the princes and concubines belongs to the system of the county system.

In the past, vassal states operated independently, nominally under the jurisdiction of the central government, but in reality had a high degree of autonomy. Nowadays, the concubines of the vassal states have become princes at the county level after inheriting the land; And the counties are under the direct control of the central government, which undoubtedly weakens the power of the vassal king in disguise and strengthens the central government.

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen's policy is almost the same.

Zhu Yuanzhang restored the feudal system at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, hoping that after a hundred years, the vassal kings of the side branches could become the emperor's barrier and jointly defend the Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations. However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty more than 200 years later, the number of vassal kings had reached tens of thousands, and because the vassal kings after Zhu Di "did not lead the army, did not take the imperial examination, and did not do business", some aspiring vassal kings became pigs in captivity, drinking and having fun in the palace all day long, which became a heavy burden on the central finances.

However, not all the Ming Dynasty vassal kings were "pigs" who only knew how to eat, drink, and play with women, and many Ming Dynasty vassal kings emerged in the tide of resistance to the Qing Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and they led a vigorous anti-Qing movement, among which many vassal kings sacrificed their lives for this.

Zhu Youzhen's holy decree went down, and these vassal kings had more possibilities.

No more trapped in the local area as before.

And at the same time, those vassal kings who have been "abolished" into pigs.

Their offspring won't be all waste as well.

Even if it is waste, whether they want a bigger fiefdom or not, they are also called lonely.

They didn't have a chance before, under the system established by Lao Zhu, the eldest son of the county king was named the prince of the county, and the eldest grandson was the grandson of the county king, all of which were regarded as second grades. His succession is the same as that of the prince, if the eldest son of the king dies, the eldest son will inherit the king, and if the eldest son of the king dies, the eldest grandson will inherit the king. In addition to the prince of the county, the rest of the sons are all the generals of the town, and they are thousands of stones, and they go down in turn.

To sum up, the prince succeeds the vassal king, and the other sons will be canonized as a lower title according to the rules.

This result has not changed for two hundred years, and everyone is used to it, but this time Zhu Youzhen gave everyone a chance.

As long as they are willing to work hard, then they may get the same despair as their big brother and their father.

All it takes is a little money.

How to choose is needless to say.

In the past, under the feudal system, there were countless people who would blow the wind on the pillow, so this time it will be the same.

From ancient times to the present, few people can stop the wind on the pillow.

Those princes and kings of the past couldn't hold back even their own territory, let alone just some money.

At this moment, the entire Great Heaven, countless palaces, and countless vassal kings began to be restless.

Fu Wangfu.

"Mother, are you going to talk to your father?"

Zhu Youyu opened his mouth and coquettishly towards his mother.

"Yes, mother, you can tell your father, in the future, this blessed king is only the eldest brother, and it has nothing to do with us, and my father only needs to give us five million taels each."

Zhu Youhua also spoke.

"That's right, mother, Your Majesty has already said that as long as each person pays a tribute of three million taels, Your Majesty is willing to canonize us in Nanyang, no less than the size of the south of the Yangtze River, and crown us kings."

"You don't want to act in the future, you can only look at the face of the eldest brother."

Zhu Youyu spoke again.

The two of them said a word, and they couldn't help but be moved by what the woman said.

The vassal king inherited his own rules, and the woman naturally knew that her two sons were unlikely to inherit the title of King Fu.

Although it can still be sealed at the second level, how can there be a blessed king.

"So overseas, is it really that good?"

The woman spoke with a hesitation.

"Of course, mother, haven't you heard what the people outside said, overseas is now full of gold and silver, and the people there are not good people, as long as you bring some elite of the palace, it is enough to take them down."

"Yes, yes, my friend is from the southeast, and he told me that the South Seas are rich in gold and silver, and spices, which are all priceless."

Zhu Youhua and Zhu Youyu said a word, so that the woman couldn't hold it anymore, and finally went towards the place where King Fu was.

The next time is undoubtedly the time for women to play their role.

Finally a month later.

Fu King Zhu Changxun was willing to give 2 million taels to his two sons, and at the same time pay 6 million taels to the Son of Heaven to obtain a share of the world for his two second sons.

As for what gold and silver.

At this time, it is naturally the credit of Jinyiwei.

Zhu Youzhen did not directly order how much money was needed to be eligible for the title of king.

However, in fact, how much was needed, but through the mouth of the Nishiki Guard, these expenses were directly revealed to the location of the various feudal kings.

However, in such a situation, it will inevitably lead to a large amount of corruption.

After all, only Zhu Youzhen knows how much money it is.

It is impossible for these vassal kings to ask Zhu Youzhen.

It is also impossible to bargain with Zhu Youzhen.

In this way, there is no doubt that Jinyiwei has the final say.

Jin Yiwei can quote a higher price than Zhu Youzhen.

As long as the vassal king can accept it, then there is no problem with these problems.

But for Zhu Youzhen, this is already the best result.

After all, if it is directly measured by the price, with the current scholar as the mainstream, he will be sprayed to death without thinking about it.

This kind of behavior can not only increase the protection of one percent, but also avoid a lot of trouble.

As for corruption.

After asking Jiang Chen for advice, Zhu Youzhen knew something.

Corruption is not a big problem, as long as the goal can be achieved and things can be done, some corruption can be tolerated.

Otherwise, with the execution power of his time, if he didn't ignore these, he might not be able to accomplish anything.

Although he was still a little uncomfortable, Zhu Youzhen was already letting him get used to it.

There is no way, in the face of the crisis of losing the country, many things, even if he doesn't want to change, he has to change.

And the effect of this share change, even Zhu Youzhen probably didn't expect it.

In history, even if Zhu Youzhen had no money, he thought about asking the minister to donate money and wanted to get it in the court, but he never thought about getting it in the hands of the vassal king.

Of course, he may have thought about it, but without a prophet, he didn't know how to do it.

But at this moment, Jiang Chen gave him this opportunity.
