Chapter 877: Suppress the royal family again, start with relatives

There are many things that need not be said too clearly for people who are full of experience in officialdom, although Liu Xing only said that he wanted the royal family to only go to education with civilians from now on, but Seed Master Zhong and Zong Ze quickly understood its true and deep-seated intentions.

For the memories of the dragons and dragons, it is not just Liu Xing. The vast majority of people in the Seed Master, Zongze, and even the Manchu Dynasty are the same. In the minds of the people of the world, it is even more "the royal family has many harmful sons, and the delinquent people are rampant and harmful to the world".

Therefore, Liu Xing made such a decision, originally on suspicion of persecuting the royal family and deliberately depriving the royal family of their privileges, but Zong Ze and the seed master did not want to oppose it.

Because they also don't want to go through all the hardships they have endured and rebuild, and this new court will be ruined and disorganized by a group of ruined royal families in the future.

To fight together for the same ideals, and to form a team to defend the hard-won current political system for a common goal, Seed Master Zhong and Zong Ze did not raise any more objections.

However, Liu Xing's suppression of the royal family is far from over.

When the two elders were silent and silent, Liu Xing thought for a while, and made a series of decisions: the kings were not allowed to enter the court as officials, the royal family was not allowed to lead troops outside Beijing, and the imperial relatives were not allowed to hold military power and branch power.

The reason why Liu Xing did this was that he was afraid that the ignorant teenagers who were still minors would enter the court when they grew up, because more than half of the little princes in that group of little princes could not be completely brainwashed with more than ten years of education system, which would have a reverse impact on the court, and even become a powerful power grabber after more than ten years.

is also because once the royal family enters the court, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no people in the camp among the courtiers to use those princes to make a fuss. If that happens, it is likely that some ministers will support a certain prince to replace the emperor determined by Liu Xing in the future, which will lead to a partisan power struggle between the courtiers and the imperial family.

What's more, because only one of the nine kings is a descendant of Taizong, if those little princes are allowed to enter the court after they grow up, then it will inevitably form a situation where eight descendants of Taizu join forces to play against a descendant of Taizong due to blood.

The way of the king is not only that the emperor can play, but Liu Xing has actually figured out some basic routines now.

If there is such a thing in the future that eight descendants of Taizu join forces to fight against a descendant of Taizong, the strength within the imperial family will be unbalanced, and then it will gradually become a situation where one side is too strong and the other side is too weak.

If there is such an imbalance, everything Liu Xing wants will no longer exist if he is in control of the situation. And once one side is too strong, its final direction will still return to the road of coming to fight for supremacy with himself and the future Shousuke.

There is only one loyalty around, that is, not to give the children of the royal family any chance to fight for supreme power in the future, and prohibiting the children of the royal family from entering the court is the simplest and most direct policy.

The fact that the royal family was not allowed to lead troops was actually to ensure the safety of the current system.

There is no military power in hand, so as to ensure that no royal family dares to rebel. Even if there are a few very capable people after the appearance of the little prince, they can win over the people who have mastered the military power, Liu Xing firmly believes that with the help of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, they can also be destroyed before they start, just like the rebellion masterminded by Zhao Ji.

The imperial family was not allowed to hold military power or to control the branches, and the decision to strengthen was made on the basis of the first two decisions.

The royal relatives are a kind of reliance of the royal family, as long as they are related to the royal family, as far as the Han and Tang dynasties, and as close as the era when Zhao Ji was in power. There are countless relatives who help the emperor to act for the tiger, and there are countless relatives who are spoiled and even plotted to seize the imperial power.

And if Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the Dou clan interfered in politics, and the Liang clan did not appear in the Great Song Dynasty, the best way was to not allow those people to have any chance to grasp the power. Among the many powers, military power and the right to support are the two most important rights.

Without military power, no matter how capable the Qi clan is, it is impossible for them to easily interfere in politics and dictatorship. Even if a general supports a certain relative and does not give him money and food, the result can only end in failure.

Liu Xing grasped these two points, after abolishing the eunuch eunuch party, he also forbade the imperial family to lead troops into the court, forbade foreign relatives to take charge of the army, and grasped the degree branch, which directly cut off the three most important root causes of harem interference and chaos that have plagued the Central Plains for thousands of years......

"Taifu Liu, do you want to let the royal family be banned from the court, and the relatives are not allowed to get military power and degree power? However, the Qi clan cannot hold military power and branch power, and if there is an official who can reach the Heavenly Pivot in the future, won't it also pose a threat to the current government? Liu Xing elaborated on this idea, and Zong Ze immediately raised his question.

Hearing his question, Liu Xing first looked sideways at the Seed Master, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Shi, do you have any opinions or questions?" Can you please tell us about it? ”

When the seed master asked, he immediately said: "Relatives may not all threaten the behavior of the current political system, if in the future, my family, your Liu family, and Taishi's clan have daughters who marry into the palace, will we have to hand over the power and choose to go into the wilderness?" ”

"Do you have any other questions or opinions?" After the words of the seed master, Liu Xing turned his head to look at Zong Ze.

After the two elders shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they had no other questions or ideas, Liu Xing's smile became even more strange: "In response to what the two said, only two new rules need to be added to solve it." Civil and military officials above the fourth rank in the DPRK are forbidden to marry the emperor's relatives, and those who marry the emperor's relatives below the fourth rank have no more than squire and can only be Beijing officials. Add these two items, are you still afraid of the kind of problem you two are talking about? ”

"Then what if it is an official of the fourth rank or above in the DPRK and the central government, using the clansmen to marry the royal family?" The planter was obviously very concerned about the matter of his relatives, so he raised questions again.

The seed master is so worried, it is because the seed Yanling has a cousin who has made a marriage contract with Zhao Bogui, the prince of Chong, one of the nine kings, since she was a child. As for the reason for his worry, Liu Xing is naturally clear.

Knowing the cause, Liu Xing naturally knows the way to bear the fruit.

After the seed master finished asking, Liu Xing immediately smiled and said: "If the clansman marries the emperor, his marriage will divide the property and divide the family to set up a new ancestral hall." If the family is separated, it will naturally not be too much favored or even colluded because the same clan is a relative of the emperor and the country. ”

"Forced separation? Do you mean that as long as someone in the clan marries a royal family, then he must set up his own door and open a new ancestral hall? After listening to Liu Xing's words, the seed master stared at Liu Xing with his eyes and asked.

Nodding slightly, Liu Xing's smile remained unchanged and replied indifferently: "Yes, if you want to be a relative of the emperor, you can only divide the family first." After the separation, the clansmen will not have the opportunity to take advantage of the royal family, and naturally there will be no hidden danger of relatives interfering in politics.
