Zhu Di?

Zhu Yunxi was slightly stunned.

That's right!

It is necessary to be able to deter the emperor's relatives and relatives, and the military generals and nobles.

Not only must this person be capable, but they must also have a special layer of identity protection.

Ordinary people, even if they are very capable, can't resist this pressure, and they can't do it!

As Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son and the biological son of Queen Ma, Zhu Di's identity naturally has nothing to say.

Dignified King Yan, no matter what kind of royal relatives and noble ministers, who dares to put pressure on him?

In terms of ability, Zhu Di definitely has this ability.

"The tax department conceived by the grandson is not the respect of the prince, and it is difficult to pick this position."

"Among the kings, those who have the ability and courage are none other than the King of Jin and the King of Yan."

"How about the King of Jin, the poor monk does not dare to assert it, and he cannot recommend it."

"The poor monk has been by the side of King Yan for many years, and he knows him well."

"Although King Yan once planned for the position of prince, what he did was not his own enjoyment, but he was unwilling to bury it and wanted to leave a name in history."

"Now that His Royal Highness Taisun is in power, King Yan's talent is far inferior to that of Taisun. It is impossible to make a big picture again. ”

"If His Royal Highness Taisun can not give up his past suspicions and use King Yan as the head of the Tax Department, so that he has the opportunity to be recorded in the history books, King Yan will definitely fulfill his duties and work hard to handle this matter well."

Zhu Yunxi was silent.

Yao Guangxiao is right.

Historically, Zhu Di, the Emperor of Yongle, was by no means a person who was greedy for pleasure.

All his life of martial arts is to prove that he is a wise lord and to mark the mark of history.

From the emperor's point of view, he did a good job.

Wenzhi and martial arts are all first-class.

If he is put in charge of the tax department, I believe he will not be corrupt, he will not take bribes, and he will not be afraid of any pressure.

In this regard, there is no better candidate than him.

It's just that.

Zhu Yunxi was not worried about Zhu Di's rebellion.

Although the tax department has a lot of powers.

But first of all, it's a position that offends people.

Sitting in this position, the imperial relatives of the Manchu Dynasty, and the honorable heroes will be offended by him.

How can you form a gang to rebel?

Secondly.

The first condition for rebellion is the possession of military power.

Therefore, since ancient times, only military generals have rebelled, and no civilian officials have rebelled.

Unless the civil officials are powerful enough to control the entire court situation, they can't do the opposite.

Zhu Di is in Beiping and is in charge of the palace guards.

often leads troops to expeditions, and has a very high prestige in the border army.

Based on the palace guards, a call, 100,000 border troops responded, and this was the only way to rebel.

If it reaches the center, it will not be in charge of the army.

Then don't think about it.

If this can make his rebellion successful, Zhu Yunxi simply buys a piece of tofu and kills himself.

But the problem is that the vassal king goes out to become a vassal king, which is the national policy set by Lao Zhu.

It's not something he can say and change.

What's more, Zhu Di is among the nine border kings, and his position is extremely critical and cannot be moved lightly.

Besides, if Zhu Di is transferred back to Beijing, what about the King of Jin and the King of Zhou?

Will all the other kings be brought back?

I have to say that it is a very good idea to transfer them all back to Jingshi.

I don't have to go to great lengths to cut the feudal domain in the future.

However, can Lao Zhu agree?

The vassal system of the Ming Dynasty had serious problems and simply could not last long.

The further back you go, the more serious it gets.

It won't take many years for the entire Ming Dynasty to collapse.

In the early years of Wanli, the expenditure of the Ming Dynasty's feudal clan accounted for 30 percent of the country's total financial expenditure, which was larger than the national military expenditure.

The further back you go, the more terrifying this statistic becomes.

In the end, the court really couldn't come up with the money.

The entire country's fiscal revenue was not enough to distribute the feudal revenues, so they could only be in arrears.

But the problem is still not solved.

Because as long as there is one tael of silver in the treasury, the king will come to ask for money!

As a result, the treasury could no longer hold any silver.

In case of emergencies, it can only be solved by levying additional salaries, so that the people are in turmoil and the Ming Dynasty is going to perish.

But Zhu Yunxi has never talked to Lao Zhu about this issue.

Because in his opinion, the problem, although serious, is not urgent.

Dragged on for a few years, without any impact.

Lao Zhu was poor and afraid, and he wanted to take care of his children and grandchildren, so he designed such a vassal system.

If he was just an ordinary courtier and wanted to gain Lao Zhu's appreciation and reuse, he would take the risk of trying to point out the problems to Lao Zhu.

But he is the prince, and sooner or later the Ming Dynasty will be his.

As long as it's not an urgent matter, there is no need to talk to Lao Zhu and ask Lao Zhu to change.

You can wait until Lao Zhu dies and succeeds to the throne before doing it.

But in this case, the resistance will undoubtedly be very large.

Cutting the feudal domain is not an easy task.

Historically, Zhu Yunwen cut the feudal domain and was overthrown by Zhu Di.

Zhu Di also continued to cut the feudal domain, and the clan was actually "confined" and raised as waste, but it did not reduce the treatment of the royal family.

so that it was overwhelmed in the later stage.

If Lao Zhu changes the system, it will undoubtedly be much easier.

After all, those vassal kings now are all the sons of Lao Zhu.

No one dared to object to what a father wanted from his son.

But if he inherits the throne, those people are uncles and elders.

In order to stabilize the situation, it is just a matter of cutting the feudal domain.

If the treatment is lowered, everyone in the world will scold him for being mean and unkind.

In fact, the ministers of the court and the central government, it is not that no one sees that there is a problem with Zhu Yuanzhang's clan treatment system.

Previously, a minister had admonished Lao Zhu.

But before Lao Zhu could hear him finish his words, he was furious and said, "This kid dares to break away from my flesh and blood, tie him up, and I will personally shoot him with arrows." ”

Since then, no court official has dared to advise on the matter.

In the next generation, it is the ancestors who have made the law, who dares to change it?

No emperor wants to bear such an infamy!

Zhu Yunxi originally thought that it would be difficult to convince Lao Zhu, so he simply delayed it until he ascended the throne before doing it.

It's still hard, though.

But now it seems that Lao Zhu trusts him very much and entrusts him with all state affairs.

He also listened to his advice.

This kind of thing, even if he is in charge of the country, he can't make decisions at will.

But to convince Lao Zhu is not necessarily impossible.

Lao Zhu will come forward to solve it!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Yunxi made up his mind: "Okay, when Zhu Yunwen and Chang Mao's case is decided, Lone will go to the imperial grandfather to make a statement." ”

At this time, when I go to see Lao Zhu, I will inevitably startle the snake.

made the absconding pirates completely disappear.

Zhu Yunwen and Chang Mao must also think that he was aware of it, but they didn't dare to move.

On the other hand, the construction of the new army is still accelerating.

The number of people has also increased from 1,500 to 3,000.

The guns are replaced with rear-loading guns in batches and fixed ammunition.

The new army is getting stronger and stronger, and when it has enough strength, it can easily sweep the world.

The feudal king guards the place, and it loses its meaning.

Zhu Yunxi is determined to solve this problem once and for all.

The vassal king no longer divided the feudal domains, but recalled them all to the Kyoshi.

"Is that true?" Yao Guangxiao was a little incredulous.

Although he recommended, he did not have much hope.

If you really want to say that King Yan is enabled, I am afraid that you will have to wait for Zhu Yunxi to officially ascend the throne and become the emperor.

Yao Guangxiao recommended at this time, hoping to put a number in his heart first, and when he inherited the unification in the future, he would recall King Yan from Beiping back to Beijing.

In this way, the last bit of rebellion and emperor in Zhu Di's heart was completely cut off.

After all, Yao Guangxiao knows very well that if Zhu Di rebels, he will never be Zhu Yunxi's opponent.

But no matter what the other party says, it is the old master he once served, and he doesn't want the other party to go to the point of no return.

Although Zhu Di should be a smart person, this possibility is not very large, but Yao Guangxiao also wants to have more insurance.

"How can Lone laugh?" Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "Don't worry, you can convince the imperial grandfather with eight or ninety percent certainty." ”

While the two were talking, Xu Miaojin walked in from outside.

"See His Royal Highness Taisun."

She stepped forward and saluted.

Since Lao Zhu talked to her that day, Xu Miaojin has become a lot more polite and well-behaved.

is no longer so lively, but has a bit of a beautiful appearance.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at her: "But what happened to my second brother Zhu Yunwen and Chang Mao?" ”
