Chapter 406: Same World, Same Dream Xu Youzhen bowed deeply to Zhu Qi Zhen: "Your Majesty, the founding clan of the Tang Dynasty also had famous generals like Li Xiaogong, and the Guanlong Li family became a big family. , but in the end the Tang Dynasty changed, and there was no trace of the clan, so there is a lot of content here."
"That's true." Zhu Qizhen nodded: "I heard you say the day before yesterday that in the early Tang Dynasty, a group of clan members were massacred by Wu Zetian, and during the Anshi Rebellion, a group of members of the clan were also massacred by An Lushan, and then Huang Chao Entering Chang'an, suppressing the military governor Han Jian and kidnapping Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhu Wen replacing the Tang Dynasty Haha, it's true."
"At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it was required that the princes must be enfeoffed as they grew older. However, after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, in view of the rebellion of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty and the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, although the princes were enfeoffed, The kings are all remote leaders and do not leave the palace. They all live in the capital. It is called the Ten Kings' House and the Hundred Suns' Courtyard."
"The military commanders in the Tang Dynasty had too much power, coupled with the powerlessness of the royal family, which led to this disaster."
"Therefore, during the Song Dynasty, military generals were completely suppressed by civilian officials. It was not until the early years of the Ming Dynasty that military honors began to rise." After saying this, Xu Youzhen glanced at Zhu Qizhen and continued: "But I think , it is easy for military generals to become authoritarian and domineering, and to support their troops with self-respect, which has been a serious problem for all dynasties."
"I understand what you mean, don't worry, soldiers will only be the Great Wall of the Ming Empire, and will never become a knife stabbing our own people. I am still confident about this." Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly. Said, but that kind of confidence made Xu Youzhen take a deep breath.
"Xu Qing, tell me, if my country is like the Southern Song Dynasty, and Xu clan's children join the court as officials or join the army, what do you think?" After thinking about it, Zhu Qizhen raised his head again and asked.
"It'sit's good for Your Majesty to have such an idea, but many royal clans, will they be willing?" After Xu Youzhen thought about it, she couldn't help shaking her head secretly in her heart.
After all, if you want to change the ancestral law, it is not easy. What's more, this is a family matter involving Lao Zhu's family, so he has to be cautious.
//The fastest text update in Shumilou - < Shuhai Pavilion > - No ads // "Whether you are willing or not is not up to me alone." Zhu Qizhen stroked his brow and sighed softly. "Thinking about the Ming Dynasty, which has been in existence for more than a hundred years, none of the generals who guard the territory and the ministers who govern the people have the Zhu family. And my Zhu family, today, is receiving support from all the people in the world, but it has never made any contribution."
¡°Let¡¯s not talk about anything else, just me. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I work non-stop every day for the sake of the people of the world, and I almost don¡¯t even have time to eat and rest. Only in this way can I feel worthy"
¡ª¡ª
Listening to the shocking words coming out of Zhu Qizhen¡¯s mouth, Xu Youzhen could only roll her eyes. Well, it was really shocking.
The emperor is complaining that he works harder than an ox, eats less than a chicken, and is complained by his ministers all day long. The people don't understand, and the soldiers look down upon him. In short, Zhu Qizhen's appearance almost makes him snot. Tears.
Not to mention that Xu Youzhen was dumbfounded, even Wan Zhen'er, who had been following Zhu Qizhen for a long time and had become Zhu Qizhen's personal secretary, almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, and finally managed to hold it back, His big watery eyes glanced at Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen, who finally noticed that he had lost some dignity as the emperor, coughed twice and regained his dignity as the emperor. "As the Son of Heaven, I must lead by example. Do they, the clan members, have such a clear conscience?"
"Your Majesty's words are very kind." Xu Youzhen couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and she bowed her head towards Zhu Qizhen. Yes, Zhu Qizhen, the wise and powerful emperor, really caught the key point at once. Think about it, As an emperor, he has to work hard for the people of the Ming Dynasty and sweat blood in the hope of making the lives of the people of the world peaceful and prosperous.
And what about those clans? They have completely become a bunch of worms, making no contribution to the country and the people. Instead, they spend a lot of manpower and material resources to support them. Why? At least compared with Zhu Qizhen, the supreme majesty of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen naturally stood on the highest point of morality.
"As a result, there is really no clan king in the world who dares to jump out and express refutation to Zhu Qizhen for this reason.
When the ministers learned the news, they were naturally overjoyed. After all, being able to get a large amount of food and taxes from the clan was another great opportunity for them to increase their reputation. Although this This time, instead of forming a group to defeat the emperor, they formed a group to defeat the clan. Well, although the effect was a little worse, it was not at least much worse. This will definitely be recorded in future history books.
On the clan side, most people were strongly opposed, or in other words, extremely unwilling to have their salary reduced by Zhu Qizhen, a shameless and prodigal emperor who had forgotten his roots, even if it meant losing one cent.
But the problem is that the clan of the Ming Dynasty no longer has the right to speak between the government and the public since the Yongle period. It may be that the clan of the Ming Dynasty has lost its due power due to their own reasons or the methods of the former Yongle Emperor. Have the right to speak.
But after seeing the past and current position of Zhu Qizhen's half-brother Zhu Qiyu, I thought about it, maybe it's not such a bad thing, not to mention that Zhu Qizhen even hit a big one. Meat buns make those clan children who are not the eldest sons salivate. Think about it, although there are quite a few of these clan children who eat and wait to die.
But the problem is, they don¡¯t want to just eat and wait to die. After all, there was an ancestral instruction that the children of the clan cannot be the same as the four common people, that is to say, they cannot be officials, farm, do business, or work.
What else can that person do? Eat, drink, poop and sleep every day? As time goes by, even those who were originally full of talent will become full of fat.
But after all, everyone is passionate, especially the young generation, especially those who know that in the future, they will only be able to receive a salary that is just enough to live on, so it is better to make a fortune. After all, if it is true, He became a famous official of a generation, which is something that can be passed down through the ages.
Although the descendants of Lao Zhu¡¯s family have never been officials or engaged in business, they still read books. It can be said that they all have the same dream and the same world as ordinary scholars.
"It's just that those possibilities that some people can realize can only be imagined in their dreams. Today, Zhu Qizhen gave them a chance.
Therefore, the younger generation of clan members and the older ones formed two factions, one opposed and the other in favor. However, Zhu Qizhen simply ignored their voices because he knew very well that these things must be done by himself. In a word, if I, a sensible time traveler emperor, don't cut off the roots that will affect the future of the Ming Dynasty, will future generations understand the importance of these things better than myself?
By the time they really find out, the matter will probably be out of control.
