Chapter 539: The Rise and Fall of the World is the Responsibility of the Husband

(I was sick a few days ago.,Poor state.,I can only change two chapters a day.,It should be able to resume the update from tomorrow.。 Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info)

Chang Wei said steadily: "Got it, what are the details?"

The emperor snorted coldly, and Tu Wenfu hurriedly took out a note, which was the one that the Hanlin had copied Chang Wei, and at this time, it was already full of names.

Of the 67 officials at the level of political envoys, envoys, and commanders in the two capitals and 13 provinces, only 12 agreed to cut the feudal domain, 20 wrote a petition to the imperial court to think twice, and 35 directly opposed it. Most of the opponents were the provincial capitals, and according to the inspectors, they were afraid that the cutting of the feudal domain would cause war and increase the burden.

In the list of opponents, Chang Wei actually saw the names of the three divisions of Henan and the governor of Zhejiang, Pan Ruzhen, the political envoy of Zhejiang, Min Chengbi, and the governor of Caoyun, Teng Leshan.

Chang Wei pointed out the name of Song Shu and said: "There is no vassal king in Zhejiang, I don't know why the governor of Zhejiang and Buzheng should oppose it? And this governor of Caoyun, Teng Leshan, which tendon is he wrong? He actually opposes the cutting of the domain! Without the vassal king, wouldn't his task of Caoyun be much easier? Oh, I know that he is afraid that he will have no place to be corrupted!"

The emperor glanced at Tu Wenfu, who was standing next to him, "Isn't Pan Ruzhen the first person to give you the Nine Thousand Years Old Jiansheng Ancestral Hall? How dare he object? Old Wei can't control him anymore?"

Tu Wenfu hurriedly lay on the ground in fright, not even daring to raise his head, he neither dared nor answered this kind of words, fortunately Chang Wei relieved him, "Gonggong Wei must be able to manage him, but people in the local area always like to be smart and make a little calculation." ”

The Emperor changed the subject: "What are you going to do next?"

Chang Wei pointed at Song Shu and said, "Isn't there that the officials of the three divisions of several provinces have all agreed to cut the feudal domain?

Shaanxi and Shanxi had many vassal kings, and the hard-hit provinces, from the provincial capital to the three divisions, from the military preparation road, the grain road, to the governor, unanimously agreed to cut the feudal domain.

The emperor said: "That's good! Write a secret edict and let officials at all levels in Shaanxi and Shanxi play one after another, until the imperial court is allowed to play!"

Without waiting for Tu Wen to respond, the emperor said: "What if there is a war? Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty withdrew the feudal domain and caused the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and Chengzu Jingnan also rose up because of the cutting of the feudal domain, in case it caused a war, I will have to bear the infamy!"

The emperor is afraid that Zhu Di's old things will repeat themselves!

Chang Wei said: "Everything in the world is man-made! As long as you use good people, there are no bad things! Your Majesty, it was Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng who were used to cut the feudal domain in Jianwen, what did these people do? King Yan sent all three of his sons to Nanjing, and he was afraid that he would lose a reputation for being unkind and righteous, so he let them all go; when he was fighting, he was afraid that he would be accused of injuring his uncle Yan, so he actually ordered him to be captured alive, and he still wanted to capture the enemy's main general alive if he could not win the battle? It is unreasonable for such a person to be undefeated. ”

"On the other hand, Your Majesty cut the feudal domain, and used the minister!"

Chang Wei said with a smile: "The minister has not taken the exam, he is not a jinshi, he has only been a sesame official of the Qing Officials Division before; but the minister can fight, and the people killed by his own hands are not one hundred but ninety; now he is in charge of the Beizhen Fu Division, and his flesh and blood are blurred every day, and he has seen a lot of things about fighting and killing, and he will never drive out the enemy and kill them all, cut the grass and eradicate the roots; he will never be merciful, let alone forgive the enemy." ”

"Therefore, the enemies of the ministers are unfortunate!"

Only then did the emperor put his mind at ease, asked Tu Wenfu to go out to write the edict, and asked Chang Wei: "Where did you come from?"

"Someone asked the minister to meet in Jiangnanju, and the minister came from there. "Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi are everywhere in the capital, Chang Wei doesn't dare to hide it, and he knows that he can't hide it.

The emperor grimaced and asked, "Who are they?"

Chang Wei's heart tightened, and he said in his heart, "Blame me for going to the brothel? ”

replied: "It's from the south of the Yangtze River, the people on the rivers and lakes, friends and enemies are unknown, but when it involves human lives, they want to ask the ministers to help investigate, and they will drink a cup of tea there." ”

The emperor smiled, "It's official time, and you haven't finished work yet, so beware of the imperial history impeaching you." Okay, let's start talking. ”

The emperor asked Chang Weilai to talk about the wealth of the country, but this book is in the vernacular, written in a simple and easy to understand, except for those professional terms that need to be explained by a doctor of arithmetic, there is no problem in other places.

You must know that the prisoners of Guozi are basically the best among the people in various places, and the outstanding people who will try to fall in the first lift, about Huang Zongxi, this kind of book is naturally understandable, take it back and read it slowly.

This is also what Chang Wei is most willing to say, "At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu and Chengzu opened up territories and expeditions to foreign lands. ”

First said that the Ming Dynasty reached the highest level in history, so that everyone was happy, and then Chang Wei spoke for a while, "But my Ming Dynasty is a little inferior to the Han Dynasty!

"Qin Shi Huang swept away the six countries, unified the world, and implemented the county system. Of course, the county is an advanced system, but the county system of the Qin Dynasty led to a lack of local control, and after the death of Qin Shi Huang, the world was in turmoil, and the second died!"

In view of the shortcomings of the county system, Han Gaozu adopted a compromise method, and the county system and the sub-feudal system coexisted. This move was effective, the Lu clan was chaotic and almost wanted to subvert the Liu family's world, the reason why it did not succeed was not only because Zhou Bo and Chen Ping presided over the imperial court, but also because the local powerful faction of the Liu clan had always restrained the Lu clan at that time. ”

But after a long time, the disadvantages are also obvious, after a long time, the princes and grandchildren multiplied, expanded from generation to generation, and in the end, they became a burden to the court and the whole world, and even a threat. ”

"In the era of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in response to the threat of the kings, he made a move to cut the feudal domain, which is known as the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. Zhou Yafu quickly put it down, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne and continued to forcefully reduce the feudal domain, issuing the "Tui'en Decree" to distribute the territory of the vassal king to each of his sons. As a result, the domain of the vassal king became smaller and smaller as the descendants multiplied, and finally, they lost their ability to survive independently and were completely recovered by the imperial court. ”

The reforms of the Han Jing and Han Wu dynasties minimized the danger of the Han Dynasty vassal kings and laid the foundation for the long-term peace and stability of the Han Dynasty. ”

"My Ming Dynasty is the same as the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Taizu is also like Han Gaozu, who divided the country to his sons, especially the "Saiwang" who guards the northern border is the strongest. ”

"Everyone knows that in the early days of the dynasty, the northern Mongolia was strong, and it was a good way to use the strong martial arts King Yan, King Ning and others to guard the frontier. However, as the years go by, the princes and heirs will multiply, which will become a burden and a threat to the state. ”

Originally, the most suitable candidate for this was Chengzu, but because of the difficulty of Jingjing, Chengzu did not cut the feudal domain on a large scale. ”

"Then the kings will not be able to cut the feudal domain. Today, there are as many as one million clans to be supported by the imperial court, and it costs a huge amount of seven million taels a year, which is as much as the war in Liaodong!"

As soon as Chang Wei's voice fell, the prisoner of Guozi immediately shouted.

"Sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will be dragged down by the vassal king!"

"Why did the officials of the two capitals and thirteen provinces pay back the seal? Did they accept bribes from the vassal king?"

"Are they like rebels who are vassal kings?"

As soon as these words came out, Chang Weideng's brows jumped, these prisoners are too fierce, right? It seems that people's hearts can be used!

"Everyone, don't make a noise!"

Huang Zongxi stood up and said loudly: "Lord Chang, what you said is right! But the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and the Jingjing Rebellion of this dynasty both arose because of the cutting of feudal domains, and the results of these two battles were very different. Master Chang, can you elaborate and make a comparison?"

In June of the fourth year of Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty (1402), the four-year battle of "Jingnan" ended, and the war ended with the victory of the "anti-king" Zhu Di over the "legitimate" emperor Zhu Yunwen.

This can be traced back to the third year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (154 BC), when the seven princes led by Liu Bi, the king of Wu, rebelled, and the scale of their wars was far greater than Zhu Di's "Battle of Jingnan", but the rebellion was suppressed in just three months.

Why did the rebellion, which arose from the same "cutting of feudal domains", have two completely different results over the course of more than 1,500 years?

Throughout the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" and the "Battle of Jingjing", there are many similarities between the two, both of which are the founding emperors who divided the vassal kings and left the bane of rebellion, and the rebellion happened when their grandchildren were emperors, and the fuse of the rebellion was that the emperor implemented the policy of "cutting the domain" caused the most powerful vassal king to raise troops to rebel, and even the banner of rebellion was very similar, all of which were to kill traitors in the court and restore the law of the ancestors.

In terms of scale, the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" was more important than the "Battle of Jingyan", but the larger ones were quickly suppressed, while the smaller ones succeeded in seizing power after four years of fighting.

Chang Weilang said loudly: "The responsibility for the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and the martyrdom lies with the previous monarchs!" "Cutting down the feudal domain is digging up the roots, and it must be justified! If you don't even dare to say anything, what else can you talk about cutting the feudal domain? What kind of suppression of rebellion?

This sentence not only arranged Zhu Di, who seized power, but also Zhu Yuanzhang, who was crowned king, but there was no way to let Lao Zhu be the initiator and seal the most?

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was taken over from his father, Emperor Wen of Han, the most benevolent emperor in history, under his rule, the economy of the Han Dynasty has developed by leaps and bounds, and the punishment has been greatly reduced, and even there are only a few dozen criminal cases a year, almost to the point of abolishing the penalty.

Emperor Jianwen's country was obtained from the hands of his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, diametrically opposed to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's bloodshed and cruelty are well-known in history, he knows that his grandson is a weak person, and the brothers who fight the world with him are all arrogant generals, in order to be able to hand over the power to his grandson smoothly, Zhu Yuanzhang has carried out a brutal massacre of the heroes again and again, except for Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, who died early, and almost killed the founding heroes.

But Lao Zhu only saw the threat of the nobles to Emperor Jianwen, but he couldn't see the threat of the sons of the vassal kings to their grandsons, and the set of dividing the princes and kings proved to be wrong as early as the Western Han Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, but Lao Zhu played this set more than a thousand years later, and gave the princes and kings greater power, and gave them the right to independently mobilize their armies.

It's literally playing with fire!

Politics is balance, when the nobles are eliminated, the power of the vassal king cannot be contained, and the imperial power is unique, self-respecting, and cannot be offended! It is impossible for the emperor to allow the existence of unfettered power in addition to himself!

This leads to the fact that Zhu Yunwen will definitely cut the domain, and the vassal king will definitely resist!

After saying the first one, Chang Wei began to despise Zhu Yunwen again, "Emperor Jing of Han is a famous monarch through the ages, and Jianwen is too far behind!"

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jianwen pursued similar policies, both of them were known for their leniency, both encouraged economic development and imposed fewer punishments, and both seemed to be relatively benevolent monarchs.

In fact, the strength of the two people's abilities is clear at a glance, although Emperor Han Jing adheres to his father's principle of benevolence and governance, but he is by no means a benevolent person, he is not smiling, the city is deep, scheming, ruthless, decisive, simply!

This kind of character is not a good person at first glance, but a qualified emperor must have this quality!

On the other hand, Emperor Jianwen is benevolent and weak, and if these qualities appear in an ordinary scholar or a rich son, he will be called a gentleman, but in the emperor, it is a fatal shortcoming!

In particular, the pedantic order of 'I can only capture King Yan alive, and not make me bear the infamy of killing my uncle' is simply a big joke, this quality can't think of or judge how to do the right thing when facing danger and need to make decisions.

Chang Wei said again: "Of course, even if the two emperors of the feudal division themselves have different qualities, this can be made up for in terms of employment and strategy!"

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty cut the domain, the first sword slaughtered the strongest prince Liu Bi, forced Liu Bi to rebel in a hurry, and the rebels of the Seven Kingdoms could not form a unified and effective command, so that Zhou Yafu was able to take the lead in defeating other rebels, and finally defeated Liu Bi.

However, Emperor Jianwen did the opposite, not daring to move the strongest Yan King Zhu Di, but first cut down several other weaker vassal kings, and finally dealt with the Yan King, adopting a strategy of first easy and then difficult.

This is a clear and unequivocal telling of the final fate of King Yan, how could Zhu Di, who is eloquent and strategic, sit still and wait for death? First, he paralyzed Jianwen, prepared secretly, and when everything was ready, he booby-trapped the officials and raised troops to rebel.

The policy of "cutting the domain" is a kind of political adventure, and if you want to clean it up, you have to clean up the most powerful Yan King Zhu Di, but Emperor Jianwen came the other way and finally swallowed the bitter fruit of failure.

Since rebellion is inevitable, who to send to quell the rebellion is the key to success or failure!

Emperor Jing of Han's father, Emperor Wen of Han, left the general Zhou Yafu, and there were a number of outstanding talents such as Dou Ying who could be used in his court, so although the Seven Nations Alliance had hundreds of thousands of people, under the command of these talents, the rebellion was suppressed before it could be formed.

But Jianwen didn't have such good luck, Zhu Yuanzhang killed all the generals who could fight habitually, Jianwen couldn't find any generals, and he also appointed Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, who were talking on paper.

Although Jianwen sent countless armies to conquer again and again, they were all defeated by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, because of the lack of command of the generals, and finally suffered a comprehensive defeat.

After talking about the two emperors who cut down the domain, they are talking about their opponents, King Wu Liu Bi and King Yan!"

Liu Bi, the leader of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion of the Han Dynasty, was stronger than the later Yan King Zhu Di, but his talent could not be compared with Zhu Di at all.

In his early years, Zhu Di fought with Zhu Yuanzhang everywhere, awarded the title of King Yan, opened Beiping, and guarded the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty. Among the generals of the northern army, regardless of age, status, and prestige, they are the highest.

And Liu Bi is the son of Liu Bang's brother, Liu Bi's subordinates gave him a clever plan to detour and attack the Han capital Chang'an by surprise, but Liu Bi did not adopt it; and in the same situation, Zhu Di personally led his light troops to bypass Xiongcheng, forcibly cross the Yangtze River, and smash Nanjing when the war was stalemate.

"It is precisely because of these four differences that Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty succeeded in cutting the domain, and it is difficult for Emperor Jing to succeed!"

After saying this, Chang Wei shouted loudly: "For this time to cut the domain, the imperial court has prepared an iron-blooded elite, with firearms, silver, grain and grass, and personnel! Just wait for someone to disagree and jump out to give me a sacrifice flag! In the first month of the first month, in Henan, more than 1,000 brocade clothes without armor rode on, so they were frightened and committed suicide by taking poison, and Tang was arrested!"

In the end, Chang Wei shouted: "Now that the imperial court is fully prepared, I have gambled my own life! I don't know what the officials of the two capitals and thirteen provinces are afraid of? Do you know?"

The prisoners immediately replied: "Write a letter! Tell the students of Nanjing and 13 provinces all over the country, ask them to go to the official office, and ask them to understand!"

Huang Zongxi jumped up, waved his fist and said: "Yang Sheng'an said: The country has been raising soldiers for 150 years, and the righteous words are today! Lord Chang said to me yesterday: The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! It is really the words of the heart, the words of weeping blood! Now, let's go to the Shuntian Mansion, let the palace Yin Yang Zuochang come out first, and let him explain the words!"

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! Okay, well said!"

"Let's go!"

A group of people didn't care what the emperor was there, turned around and ran out!

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband!" the emperor looked at the situation in front of him and said, "Fearless, you will incite people's hearts." ”

Chang Wei smiled: "No way, they are old foxes in the officialdom, and if you want to deal with old foxes, you have to be as stunned as me!" )
