Chapter 30

In the third year of Xingqian, for the Ming Dynasty, there were too many major events in this year, and any historian could see from the words recorded in his pen that this year was an extremely ordinary year for the Ming Dynasty.

Three years!

Although it was less than three years after the founding of the Yuan, everyone realized that for His Majesty the Emperor, who had already sat firmly in the world, now was the time to forge ahead, and this was indeed the case.

Abolishing the imperial examination, revitalizing practical learning, and a series of major events that are enough to go down in history, all happened in this year, and even in comparison, the "apportionment into the mu" just implemented this year has become a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning, although this small matter has made Daming have millions more people.

But at the same time as these major events happened, everyone knew that the Ming Dynasty still had internal troubles, not to mention that there was always resistance to the abolition of the imperial examination and Xingshixue in Shilin, and the two vassal kings in Guangzhou and Chongqing with heavy troops were hidden dangers for the Ming Dynasty.

Although in the past two years, the government and the opposition have long been determined about the achievements of these two vassal kings who were born thieves and thieves in the west, but their precautions have never been reduced, in order to weaken their power, the imperial court can be said to have painstakingly restricted, from the appointment of magistrates to taxes and other restrictions at the same time, many officials are even advocating the transfer of the two kings to the west, the purpose of which is naturally very simple - to kill people with a knife.

Killing people with a knife is a simple strategy, for the two feudatories, whether they refuse or obey, the final result is the same, waiting for them is nothing more than two results, one is that the soldiers and horses under their command are destroyed by the Qing captives, and the other is that they refuse, and the court sends a large army to rebel.

Is there no other option?

"Although the Jin clan has made great contributions to the country, but after all, he was born as a thief, as for Li Laiheng, he is the nephew of the thief Li Jinyi, Emperor Xiaolie was forced by the thief and committed suicide and martyrdom, if this son is located in the center of the court, how can Your Majesty be a son of man?"

As the elder brother, Zhu Dayong just silently listened to Zhu Daxian talking about the two feudal domains, whether it was the Jin clan or the Duke of Linguo, they were an extremely sensitive existence for Daming, especially the latter.

"If my brother expects it to be true, Your Majesty must not want to take the lives of the two of them, otherwise in the past two years, if you find an excuse, I'm afraid you will clean up the two of them."

Zhu Dayong asked with a smile, because there is only a relationship between the two brothers, so they can talk freely without scruples, although between the two brothers, there used to be a mustard, but now all the mustard has disappeared.

"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and puts the country first in everything, which can be described as extremely gracious to them, but they are unwilling to hand over military power for self-preservation, which is not a long-term solution after all."

Zhu Daxian shook his head and sighed lightly.

"I'm afraid it's not that they don't want to, but they can't, after all, they have to consider not only the wealth of one person, but also the future of their command, perhaps, Your Majesty will not kill them, but the old grudges in the past, how can they be light? There are many officials in the court who are eager to eat their bones, and I don't know how many officials and eunuchs have died at the hands of thieves and thieves, even if they can't kill two thieves, if they can kill their subordinates, they can also comfort their relatives. ”

As the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Zhu Dayong, for the government, has his understanding, throughout the ages, I don't know how many famous generals died in the government, died in the trap of political enemies, there are these lessons from the past, those people naturally dare not easily enter the court, even if the king of Shu has entered the court to enjoy the premise of wealth and nobility, he is not willing to give up power easily.

"Isn't this exactly the case, whether it is the trapping of his Japanese political enemies, or other reasons, in short, after entering the court, they must be in danger, so how can they easily enter the court as courtiers?"

Zhu Daxian shook his head, and then sighed.

"I'm worried that in the end, even if Your Majesty is unwilling, I'm afraid there will be only one way to raise troops to crusade against the two places!"

"Actually, it's not ...... at all."

Looking at Zhu Daxian's worried look, Zhu Dayong smiled.

"Oh? Could it be that the eldest brother has any good plan? ”

"I can't talk about a good strategy, in fact, there is a solution in front of me, I think as long as Your Majesty is willing to adopt it, I think they will be willing to obey the court."

"Oh?"

Zhu Daxian looked at his brother in surprise, although his father had not forgiven him in the past few years, but the two brothers had already released their previous suspicions, and because of this, they naturally knew that Zhu Dayong was also quite talented in his belly, and His Majesty regarded him as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, which can be said to be a big talent and a little useless.

"Big brother, you might as well tell me about it."

"I heard that His Majesty intends to crown King Gui overseas?"

Although the news of King Gui's overseas residence is a secret between the DPRK and China, Zhu Dayong, as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, naturally has his channels to learn of this news, and there are now occasional news reports between the government and the opposition about King Gui's appointment to the domain, among which the overseas feudal domain is the suggestion of some courtiers.

"Hmmm......"

Nodding, Zhu Daxian didn't hide it, but replied directly.

After all, Emperor Xiaokuang once said that it was also a joy in life to be able to live in Zhancheng, so His Majesty intended to take Zhancheng as "Anle Prefecture" and seal King Gui in Anle Prefecture. But it happened to be news from the South Heavenly Gate that Batavia had been offered by the Dutch, so His Majesty made a temporary decision to change the name of Batavia to "Xuannan Prefecture", and took Xuannan as the fief of King Gui, so that it "Xuanda will be powerful in the Southern Domain". ”

As a minister, Zhu Daxian, of course, knew about King Gui's feudal domain, and also knew the reason for repeated changes, the reason why he was sealed to "Xuannan Prefecture", which was more remote than Nantianmen, was not to "Xuanda Tomorrow's prestige in the Southern Domain", but because it was far enough away from Daming.

"Xuanda will be powerful in the Southern Domain ...... tomorrow"

Nodding silently, Zhu Dayong could imagine that by sealing King Gui in Xuannan, His Majesty would also do his best, so as to avoid some unnecessary troubles.

"If you can put King Gui in Xuannan, why can't you put the Jin Domain overseas?"

As soon as Zhu Dayong's suggestion came out, Zhu Daxian immediately retorted.

"This matter is impossible, a different surname is not crowned as a king, this is the ancestral training, it will be sealed overseas, so that it will lead the vassal guard, but it is just that Guangzhou is overseas, so the government and the opposition are naturally difficult to peace."

As a cabinet minister, Zhu Daxian certainly knew that this possibility was almost zero, because it was impossible for the imperial court to accept a vassal king with a different surname with tens of thousands of palace guards on the side of the couch. Even if the side of the couch is far away from China.

"On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore!"

Shaking his head and chuckling, Zhu Dayong said sarcastically.

"Zhao Song is like this, and it is the same now, but I don't know that if there is no one fighting on the side of the couch, I am afraid that the people on the couch will fall asleep, and they will be devoured by fierce beasts in their sleep."

After saying this sentence without irony, before Zhu Daxian could react, he heard Zhu Dayong continue.

"In the past few years, for my brother to read the history of the West, the West is located in Europa, like the old Warring States, the countries are constantly strife, in order to seek a strong country, training, business, navigation, and the introduction of talents from all countries, a country has made a little progress, other countries immediately follow suit, so that the law of learning is naturally a hundred schools of thought, without the slightest stagnation, and on the other hand, my China, since the Qin and Han dynasties, although it is said that it will be peaceful for a long time, but occasionally always stagnate, so it is not surprising - this is because after China has reached its peak, It is often impossible to make further breakthroughs, and the reason why breakthroughs cannot be made is precisely because the internal competition is limited, and when the internal competition cannot seek a breakthrough, it is necessary to find the driving force externally, just like the disputes among the countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, if a country stagnates, then it is bound to be annexed by other countries, and on the other hand, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were only disputes among the countries and the war of annihilation. Coupled with hundreds of years of deep sleep, it cannot be compared with the Western countries that are in strife and striving day and night......"

Zhu Dayong didn't notice that his words only made Zhu Daxian stunned, and it is no wonder that compared to Zhu Daxian, Zhu Dayong, as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, has a wider field of vision, when Zhu Daxian was worried about national affairs there, he was obsessed with translating books from Western countries in the Tongyan Museum, unlike others who focused on science, he would also look through the history books of Western countries, and at the same time marveled that Western civilization was not inferior to Chinese civilization, he also had a lot of reflections. This difference in vision made Zhu Daxian not even fully understand what he was saying.

Glancing at Zhu Daxian, Zhu Dayong paused for a moment, and then explained.

"Daxian, if all the clans and vassals in the world had strong troops back then, what would happen when the Qing Dynasty invaded the Kou?"

"Each vassal will lead its troops to resist the captivity!"

Without any doubts, Zhu Daxian replied almost immediately in the affirmative. In fact, in the past few years, the government and the opposition have also reflected on the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the army, and one of the reflections is why the vassals are useless, and the fundamental reason why the vassals are useless is that the vassals have no soldiers and no power in their hands.

"But, don't forget, if King Xu leads the troops, who knows, will there be another cutting of the domain, and there will be another martyrdom?"

Zhu Daxian's rhetorical question was exchanged for Zhu Dayong's sarcasm.

That's why there is a saying that on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore, in the final analysis, this statement is still not confident enough! As for the so-called cutting of the domain, it is also due to lack of self-confidence, the court has the world's soldiers and horses, and it is not yet safe to rest assured that the vassal king of a place, if it is on the side of the couch, no one snores, and naturally he will not wake up from his own sleep, and when the time comes, the one who eats meat and eats bones is not a pro-domain! On the one hand, it is to prevent relatives, and on the other hand, it is not harmful to relatives...... Zhu, the descendants of the family! ”

In the past, Zhu Dayong just thought in his heart that he couldn't say it to anyone. Because these words are really rebellious.

"Big brother!"

Zhu Daxian's brows furrowed sharply, and he said sharply.

"Don't forget, the Jin Clan is from the Western Thief!"

Facing the reminder of the younger brother, Zhu Dayong asked rhetorically.

"But, King Gui is a pro-vassal! Since he can be crowned King Gui in Xuannan, why can't he be crowned as his vassal? ”
