Chapter 723: The New Year (Part II)

。 After the first day of the first lunar month, the house will be closed. But silence is not idle, because trouble will not be a holiday, but will be more dazzling and prominent in this atmosphere of celebrating the Spring Festival. First of all, it is the problem of the clan, the king of Yi, Zhu Dianheng, did not live to the forty-third year of Jiajing, and was hanged and hanged outside the west gate for nine major crimes such as rebellion and great rebellion before the year, and was beheaded at the same time, as well as more than 200 people from the royal palace. One of the kings of Taizu's division withdrew from the stage of the Ming Dynasty in this tragic way.

The death of King Yi brought an incomparable shock to the feudal clans of the world and the clan in Beijing, and after seeing that the imperial court did not care about the blood and blatantly executed the prince, they were indeed afraid, but they behaved when they were afraid. But it gave the court a headache.

After all, it is an arrogant nobleman who has been arrogant for several lifetimes, and it is impossible to easily admit that the court dares to kill King Yi, it is because he rebelled, but we don't, can we all be killed if we make trouble

Yes?

As a result, some bold vassal kings joined forces to make trouble in the local area and support the more than 200 clans who were imprisoned in the edict. This was expected by Xu Jie, and the old spicy first assistant ordered Yousi not to clash with him, but secretly dispatched troops and horses to deal with contingencies at any time.

Among the vassal kings, the most ferocious ones have to be the Han Wangfu and the Dai Wangfu. The Han Wangfu is in Pingliang, and the Daiwang Mansion is in Datong, all of which are the kings of the border land divided by Emperor Taizu, and the original intention was to let them guard the border for the Ming Dynasty, but these waste materials are not able to govern the country and the town, and they are contaminated with tyrannical and cruel habits, which have brought endless disasters to the people in the frontier.

Because the imperial court refused to let them go home for the New Year, the two clans in Shanxi and Gansu actually led thousands of guards and horses, "The former crossed the border into Xi'an, Shaanxi, and surrounded the residence of Chen Qixue, the governor of Shaanxi, and made a noise and insults, so that he did not dare to open the door for several days; The latter directly drove Ma Bo, the prefect of Datong, out of the city, and he couldn't go back to his home in the month of the Great New Year. I could only rush to the capital overnight to cry.

The imperial court issued repeated decrees ordering the clans of the two prefectures to restrain their atrocities, but these bold children of the clan. In the name of the court not letting people go, they will never leave. The open robbery in the city, so that there was no one on the street, and the merchants boycotted the market, so that the people of Xi'an and Datong could not be disturbed, and they could not celebrate the New Year at all.

Chen Qixue and Ma Bo's recitals soon reached the imperial court. Jiajing was furious and ordered Xu Jie to deal with the matter immediately. Xu Jie ordered the Zongren Mansion to investigate and deal with the two feudatories in accordance with the law, and to prevent the spread of the situation.

Li Chunfang and Shen Mo, who were on vacation, immediately appeared at Yan Butang's home, for this situation, Yan Ne and Li Chunfang believed that they should adopt Huairou and calm things down. But Shen Mo said to them: "Since you have set a tough tone, you should be tough to the end, if you are half-convinced." Does it not increase their arrogance? ”

"Alas, as the saying goes" a slap in the face. Give a sweet date" Yan Ne said: "After all, they are royal nobles, what else can you do with them?" The meaning is also on the line. ”

"The premise of slapping a sweet date is to make this slap solid and make him feel painful." Silently and patiently: "At least the Han Wangfu and the Daiwang Mansion who provoked trouble must be subdued, otherwise who will take the imperial court's edict in their eyes?" ”

"Isn't there a gentle way?" Li Chunfang asked softly.

"How can you be gentle about smashing people's jobs?" Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "When it comes to vital interests, the clans are bound to have a strong backlash, and there is no other way than to suppress it." ”

"Alas, it's too intense" Li Chunfang sighed: "If one is not done well, it will not be able to be cleaned up." ”

"That's what Brother Shilu said." Shen Mo whispered, "I'll be careful." "You can do it." Yan Ne coughed lightly and said, "I'll take it if something goes wrong, anyway, the old man is not in good health, and he is not so keen on his career." ”

"It's not going to be a problem." Shen Mo hurriedly said.

The Ministry of Rites came up with a solution, and Shen Mo hurriedly went to the cabinet to return to Xu Ge Lao.

Xu Jie looked at the handling opinions of the Ministry of Rites, and read softly: "There is a department to strictly investigate." Zhu Rongxuan, the king of Han, and the guilty of the clan under the king Zhu Tingyi, will be abolished as concubines. ”

"Yes." Shen Mo whispered.

Xu Jie raised his head noncommittally, put the text aside and said to him with a sad face: "Humble words, we underestimated the arrogance of these clans. They won't surrender so easily. According to what he and Shen Mo expected at first, killing Zhu Dianheng and arresting one or two hundred clans would be able to deter the clans of the world and make them obediently forgive. Who knew that they overestimated the lowly merchants of these people, and underestimated their arrogance, and instead of begging for their release, they made a big fuss.

However, Xu Jie also had a headache, after all, the identities of these clans were special, and it was really not good to make trouble.

"These vassal kings are distributed in the north, south, east and west, and in the middle of the province," said silently and softly: "They have been operating in their own fiefdoms for a long time, in fact, there are still some forces in secret, although they usually dare not mess around, but if they really touch their fundamental interests, they will not take risks and form an alliance against the imperial court." ”

"Well," this is exactly what I'm worried about" Xu Jie said worriedly: "If the Ming soldiers are strong and strong, I don't have any worries, but in this situation, I really don't have the capital to stand up." ”

"If you don't have the capital, you should hold your tail" Shen Mo secretly slandered, from the beginning, he was not very interested in Lin Run's "Discussion of the Sect and the Clan" and the "Regulations of the Sect and Domain" discussed by the dynasty. It's just that it happened to be the right time and was dragged into this trouble, and it got deeper and deeper.

Now he can finally say what is in his heart, and said to Xu Ge: "Actually, the matter has come to this day. It is directly related to the fact that the pace of the imperial court is too urgent and too big; With all due respect, any reform should touch people's vested interests as little as possible, and if it does, it should also narrow the scope of small enemies, wanting to kill everyone with a stick. The result is often the opposite, with the worst of the worst. ”

Xu Jie silently listened to him and continued: "Whether it is Lin Run's book or the subsequent court discussions, he did not analyze the interests within the clan vassal king, but simply regarded it as a whole. Therefore. They chose the simplest and most direct way to govern the clan with the same hatred, and the old evidence broke out The wave of chong xu jie nodded when he heard this, and looked at the silence with an inquiring face, and the Buddha was saying, since it is so clear, why do you have to talk about it now.

The teacher Rong Yu was silent and hurriedly said: "Actually, although the students did not approve of it at first, it was not against this time. Because in the humble opinion of the students. The positions of the vassal kings are already extremely rich, if they are enemies of the imperial court, what are they trying to do? It is nothing more than wanting to be an emperor, but a single vassal king does not have this power. And the fool also knows that only one person can be the emperor, and the others are still just a vassal king. So why do these people gamble with their own lives to make wedding clothes for others? Therefore, the students feel that it is impossible for the vassal kings to be united, and it is impossible to become a climate: "The situation we are facing today is fundamentally different from that of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty after all, and the difficulties faced are the most tricky, but they will not be fatal, so it is good to test it, and if you don't test it, you will never find a solution."

"You guy" Xu Jie couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "Where did you come from so many ghost doors, so he looked at him with a smile and said, "Tell me about your solution." ”

"In the humble opinion of students, the most successful reform is to satisfy everyone, but this is basically impossible; Because the motive force for reform is that the existing distribution of benefits has affected the peace of the country and the stability of the regime, it is necessary to change and redistribute the benefits. "Pause. Shen said silently: "On the premise of not being able to make a big pie", it will inevitably harm the interests of some people. ”

Xu Jie nodded and said, "That's true." But he was a little disappointed and said, "These old men also understand." ”

However, the student believes that the interests of those who should be harmed and who should be preserved are a big question, and he said in a silent voice: "Reform can only be achieved if it takes into account stability." ”

"Then who do you say should be kept and who should be harmed?" Xu Jie asked slowly.

"First of all, we have to analyze in detail the different interests under each vassal system." He said in a deep voice: "The students divided it into three layers, and the core is more than forty princes, these people control the army, finances, and everything of the clan to which they belong, and they are undoubtedly the ruling faction in the clan. The interests of these people cannot be overly compromised. Otherwise, they will oppose anything, and they can only end in failure; Secondly, the close relatives of these princes, such as the prince and the prince's concubine, are the higher echelons who can influence the left and right core factions, and the interests of these people should not only not be harmed, but should also benefit from the reform, so that they can support the reform, and then say that the princes will not oppose the reform

"Then there are the generals and lieutenants who are numerous, and the most consumed, although there are quite a few of them, they are powerless. Without the support of the prince, he couldn't afford any wind and waves, and his silent expression was stiff, and he said without a trace of emotion: "So from any point of view, these people should be sacrificed in exchange for compromises from all parties."

Xu Jie's eyes couldn't help but light up, it was indeed as Shen Mo said. In the past, I mentioned the issue of clans. Like most officials, he always immediately thinks of those high-flying princes who think that these people are the core of the problem. But now let Shen Mo remind him, he realized that in fact, the most expensive people in the imperial court were those hereditary generals and lieutenants, although the number of them alone was small, they couldn't stand the number of too many.

As long as these people can be eliminated, the pressure on the imperial court will naturally be greatly reduced. Moreover, although they have a large number of people, they are only more than 20,000 people, and there are only 1,000 people scattered in various places, and they are all incompetent people who cannot carry them in their hands or on their shoulders, and without the support of the princes, they cannot rise up any storms.

"What do you mean, the old man understood Xu Jie's twist and said: "The "Zong Fan Regulations" should be changed, and the prince's Zonglu will cancel the banknote discount, and distribute it in silver taels and grain; The prince of the county, the prince's concubine, and the prince of the county under him" said and looked at Shen Mo and said, "What should we do?" "This is the art of being a leader, no matter when, you feel that you are important, so you can use your brains and think out of your mind to make suggestions, and in the end all the results and achievements are leadership.

"For these royal relatives who can't be hereditary. The most seductive is tantamount to the inheritable prince said silently with a confident smile; "If the new "Clan Regulations" can ensure that all the county kings can keep the throne for their descendants, and the prince's concubine can also obtain the title. They will definitely sincerely support the "Regulations" and take the initiative to help the imperial court remove obstacles, "even if they suffer some economic losses, there will be no complaints." ”

"What do you mean?" "Xu Jie is also a master, so he naturally knows the meaning of the string song.

The teacher smiled silently: "It is the method of using "Tui'en" to make the upper echelons of the clan no longer object. After a pause, he continued: "Then there are the middle and lower level of the clan, and those generals and lieutenants said in a silent voice: "You can't let them have no way to live, my suggestion is to limit it to a certain year" For example, in the clan born before the thirty-second year of Jiajing, those over sixty years old will be given the full amount to Zonglu, and then it will be reduced by two percent for every ten years younger, until forty percent, so that the elderly can have something to support. The young and strong are self-reliant, and those who are placed in it. The combination of the two makes it less difficult to accept; As for those born after the 32nd year of Jiajing, they will not be issued to Zonglu, but the imperial court will allocate funds to build Zongxue and allow them to enter school for free and become talented. ”

Hearing Shen Mo say this, Xu Jie's face was full of sadness, and he said, "You have thought about it very comprehensively." This method is also practical, and he said with a heartfelt praise: "Humble words, the truth is also." ”

Shen Mo hurriedly said: "The student's nonsense made the teacher laugh." ”

Xu Jie shook his head and said: "The old man never praises people easily, you did teach me a lesson, and said with a smile: "It is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty and the emperor to have a young man like you." It's also the old man's luck! ”
