Chapter 2: The Dispute over the Cutting of Domains
Li Qing wondered in his heart, he only felt that the name Fang Xiaoru was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
After a few simple and polite words, everyone sat down again.
Li Qing pondered for a long time, and finally, he remembered that after Zhu Dijing succeeded, he punished his ten clans.
However, it is also said that it is only the three tribes of Yi, but the saying of the ten tribes is more extensive.
Everyone exchanged a few words of greetings, and the hall quieted down, and they all looked at Zhu Yunwen, knowing that the emperor had summoned so many people over, there must be something important to announce.
Zhu Yunwen is also looking at these people, looking at these people left for him by the emperor's grandfather, he has always lacked a sense of security, and he feels very down-to-earth.
These are people you can trust!
A smile appeared on his lips, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by a furrowed brow and a sad expression.
Seeing this, Qi Tai said: "Dare to ask the emperor, why are you worried?" ”
"Alas......!" Zhu Yunwen just smiled bitterly and didn't answer.
Qi Tai said again: "It is the duty of a courtier to share the worries of the king, and I ask the emperor to make it clear." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fang Xiaoru arched his hand and said, "The lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliates the ministers to death; The emperor doesn't say anything, so how can the ministers deal with themselves? ”
Huang Zicheng rolled his eyes, and said respectfully, "The ministers are brave, the emperor is worried that the power of the vassal kings is too great, and he is afraid that he will not be able to lose his head in the future, and even ...... Endangering the country's society? ”
"Alas......!" Zhu Yunwen sighed lightly, "They are all my uncles, how can I ...... That's it. ”
Li Qing's heart tightened, the old Zhu's bones were not cold, and the little Zhu was going to cut the domain?
It's not that he didn't think that Zhu Yunwen would cut the domain, but he really didn't expect that he would be so anxious.
He was just about to speak, but Fang Xiaoru spoke first: "The sage has clouds: the people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light;
In front of the people and the society, the king must give way, let alone just a vassal king?
It is not uncommon for vassal kings to rely on their power to run amok against lawlessness, and they all have military power, and they will definitely be unable to lose their tails over time, and even have the heart of rebellion! ”
"The minister seconded the proposal." Huang Zicheng followed, "The emperor is the king of a country, how can he only care about family affection, ignoring the people and the community? ”
Li Qing couldn't sit still, and immediately said: "Emperor Taizu Gao's bones are not cold, the emperor is doing this......"
"Li Du is wrong to say this, and the emperor is also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty." Qi Tai interrupted, "Emperor Taizu has a spirit in the sky, and he will only feel gratified. ”
If Lao Zhu can come back to life, he has to kill you alive...... Li Qing said: "Qi Shilang's words, Ben Hou thinks it is inappropriate. ”
He was not qualified for an official position, and changed his title to a knighthood, which made Qi Tai feel depressed.
The lord is different from the official position, he belongs to the first level of the official, not to mention the marquis, he is an earl, and Qitai is a squire, and he has to salute him.
Although it shows that in the middle and late periods, Wenchen became more and more powerful, and his lordship status was in name only, but at present, Wenchen was far from being able to compare with the nobles.
Qi Tai said in a sullen voice: "What is Yongqinghou's opinion? ”
Li Qing ignored him, looked directly at Zhu Yunwen, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the current situation outside the border is treacherous, and the vassal kings have the responsibility of guarding the border, so it is not appropriate to attack them!" ”
"That's not true." Qi Tai spoke again.
Li Qing ignored him, but he wanted to take care of Li Qing.
"As the saying goes: If you want to go outside, you must first settle inside, and it is precisely because of the treacherous situation outside the border that the court should put down the disaster as soon as possible."
Fang Xiaoru arched his hand and said, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”
"The minister also seconded the proposal." Huang Zicheng immediately followed.
Wenchen is not used to looking at the nobles, and at the same time he is not used to the vassal king, when Lao Zhu is reincarnated, they shouted for Lao Zhu to stop dividing the feudal and weaken the power of the vassal king, and now that Lao Zhu is gone, they are even more unscrupulous.
Li Jinglong is still very interesting, and he united with Li Qing, "Your Majesty, the situation outside the border is critical, and it is not appropriate to cut the feudal domain at the moment, please think twice!" ”
Three agreed, two opposed, but the two who opposed were more weighty, and now, Zhu Yunwen was also embarrassed.
In fact, he wanted to cut the feudal domain in his heart, and without him, those uncles made him insecure.
He has been an insecure person since he was a child, after all, he is a concubine, not the eldest son, and he knows that even if he is divided in the future, he will not be assigned a good place.
But the eldest grandson died; His father died young; The second grandson is young, and the relatives are too strong, which is not good for the country; Then it was his turn.
In fact, to this day, Zhu Yunwen is still weak in his heart.
Although it has been written in the Emperor's ancestral training that he is the eldest grandson, after all, the mother concubine is a continuation of the strings, not a wife.
What do people all over the world think in their hearts, he also mutters in his heart, in fact, even deep in his heart, he doesn't think that he is a grandson.
Those imperial uncles didn't sit on the throne, but his grandson sat on, can he be honest in his heart?
What's more, there are so many imperial uncles, and they all have military power in their hands, and he is already insecure, and he is even more like sitting on pins and needles, and it is difficult to sleep and eat.
"Ahem... That, Li Aiqing, I feel that Qi, Fang, and Huang, the three Aiqing are reasonable. Zhu Yunwen's face sneered, "If you want to go outside, you need to settle down first, I... Although he is a grandson, after all, he is a generation behind the imperial uncles;
The imperial uncles must be holding back their resentment in their hearts, if they have a different heart when I use troops outside the border, what should I do? ”
Li Qing was full of helplessness, he could understand Zhu Yunwen's mood, and even, as far as the cutting of the domain itself was concerned, there was nothing wrong;
But the problem is that cutting the fan is not about touching the upper lip to the lower lip, just talk about it, the involvement is too big, and Xiao Xiaozhu can't grasp it at all.
Li Qing sighed: "Does the emperor know that the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Han and the Eight Kings of Jin?" ”
"Yongqing Hou's words are wrong." The annoying Qi Tai spoke again.
Li Qing wanted to tear his mouth apart, gritted his teeth and said, "What does Qi Shilang have in mind?" ”
Qi Tai smiled smugly and said happily, "The eight kings of Jin are not caused by cutting the domain, but the harem is in charge; The rebellion of the Seven Kings of the Han Dynasty was caused by the cutting of the feudal domain, but it was ...... The vassal kings of the Han Dynasty, where can we compare with the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty? ”
"Huh? This ...... "Studying history, Li Qing can't help but be a little timid, he really doesn't know much about history."
Seeing Li Qing's embarrassed face, Li Jinglong explained: "The vassal kings of the Han Dynasty were super powerful, and they had almost all the management rights such as military and administrative power in the fiefdom, as if they were a country within a state;
This is also the reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is so strong, and he can only implement the Tui En Order.
And my vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, administratively, has a political envoy; Militarily, the army at its disposal was also the imperial court; The only private armament of the vassal king is the three guards, so what kind of waves can a little person make? ”
"What Cao Guogong said is true." Qi Fanghuang and the others nodded with a smile.
Li Qing was speechless, when Li Jinglong said this, he suddenly felt that the King of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be really weak, and if he thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case.
Now, he finally knew why Zhu Yunwen dared to cut the feudal domain when he came up.
Yes, why did the vassal king win?
Li Qing smashed his mouth and arched his hand: "Why doesn't the emperor follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, moisten things silently, and imperceptibly eliminate the power of the vassal king?" ”
Seeing that he was not fiercely opposed, Zhu Yunwen immediately put his mind at ease, and even forgot to pretend, "Can you use it?" ”
"I don't need it at all!" Qi Fang Huang sneered.
"......" Li Qing was really helpless, glanced at Fang Xiaoru emphatically, and said in his heart: It is not unreasonable that you were punished by the Ten Clans.
"Your Majesty, the minister still thinks it's not appropriate to cut the domain."
Zhu Yunwen frowned, "What is the reason?" ”
"The emperor knows that the king of Qin is married to the sister of the former Yuan general Wang Baobao, the king of Jin is married to the daughter of the Marquis of Yongping, the king of Yan and the king of Dai are married to the daughter of the Duke of Wei, and the king of Shu is married to the daughter of Lanyu......"
Balabala......
Zhu Yunwen's brows furrowed tightly, and the smiles of Qi Fanghuang and the others gradually disappeared a little.
Among Lao Zhu's sons, none of them married Wenchen's daughter, and they were all nobles.
Even Zhu Yunwen's father, Zhu Biao, married the daughter of the first fierce general of the Ming Dynasty and Chang Yuchun.
And the reason why Lao Zhu did this was to learn the lesson of the Song Dynasty and the harem being controlled by Confucian scholars, so he did not marry Wenchen at all.
The only one among the Wenchen to marry is Li Shanchang, and he is still married to a princess, not a princess.
The princess is naturally noble, but after marrying, the children born are all with her husband's family name, and they are all outsiders.
But marrying a princess is different, although the daughter of a noble is promoted to a princess, she is not as good as a princess, but the son they gave birth to is the kind of old Zhu family and belongs to the royal family.
This is especially important!
In fact, Lao Zhu did this for another reason, that is, to let the nobles and vassal kings check and balance each other, and at the same time, they would not be in a hurry to engage in internal friction.
As it turned out, he was quite right.
Indeed, there was a relationship of mutual checks and balances between the lords and the feudal lords, and they lived in peace.
But once the feudal domain is cut, it is inevitable that there will be no situation where the two sides join forces.
It is true that the Ming vassal king is not as good as the vassal king of the Han Dynasty, but if one of them is not good, the situation will not be much better than the rebellion of the seven kings of the Han Dynasty.
"Yongqing Hou is reasonable!" Qi Tai nodded his head.
Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng also felt the same way, and got up and took a long look, "I've been taught." ”
Li Qing smiled and returned the salute with a fist, and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his smile rose, Fang Xiaoru said: "In this way, it seems that it is better to start with the less powerful vassal king and the princess's mother's family!" ”
Li Qing: (⊙o⊙)...
