Chapter 196 Recalling Zhu Di? Discussing the reduction of vassal status!

Zhu Di?

Zhu Yunxuan was slightly startled.

That’s right!

It must be able to intimidate the emperor's relatives, and the generals must be noble.

Not only must this person be capable, but they must also have a special layer of identity protection.

Ordinary people, even if they are very capable, cannot withstand this pressure, no matter what!

As the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang and the biological son of Empress Ma, Zhu Di’s identity naturally cannot be revealed.

The majestic King of Yan, no matter how many relatives, noble ministers or ministers you have, who dares to put pressure on him?

In terms of ability, Zhu Di definitely has this ability.

"The tax department conceived by Taisun is difficult to take on unless he is a prince."

Zhu Yunwen made the recommendation at this time because he hoped to keep a secret message in my heart. When I succeed Xiaotong in the future, he would recall King Yan from Peiping to the capital.

In fact, among the minor ministers in the court, no one saw that there was nothing wrong with the clan treatment system established by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lao Zhu designed such a vassal system because he was afraid of poverty and wanted to take care of his descendants.

But the problem is that it is Lao Zhu's national policy that the vassal king should go out to join the vassal.

The new army is getting weaker and weaker, and when it doesn't have enough strength, it can easily sweep across the sky.

In history, Chang Mao cut the vassal state and was overthrown by Zhu Di.

But first of all, it was an offending position.

His literary and martial arts skills are all top-notch.

Since then, no minister has ever remonstrated with Lao Zhu.

This made the absconding Japanese pirates completely disappear.

For the sake of stability in the government, it is enough to reduce the vassal status.

But in that case, the resistance will undoubtedly be very small.

If I lower my salary any further, people in heaven will accuse me of being mean and unkind.

"The poor monk has been with King Yan for many years and knows his character well."

only.

This is all about thinking.

But I can change it if I can.

After all, these vassal kings are all Lao Zhu's sons.

Sitting in that position, all the royal family members, nobles and heroes of the whole dynasty would be offended by me.

But it may not be possible to convince Lao Zhu.

But I am the crown prince, and the country of Xiaoming will be mine sooner or later.

While the two were talking, Xu Miaojin walked back from inside.

I am sure that I am just a special minister, and if I want to be appreciated and reused by Lao Zhu, I will take the risk and try to point out the problems outside to Lao Zhu.

No one dares to approve of what a father wants from his son.

Besides, if Zhu Di is transferred back to the capital, where are the kings of Jin and Zhou?

Although the tax department has very small powers.

If you get to the center, you will be in charge of the military.

With the palace guards as the basis, and a call of 100,000 border troops respond, only then can there be a rebellion.

The vassal king guarding the place has lost its meaning.

In the early years of Wanli, Xiaoming's vassal salary expenditure accounted for 80% of the country's total fiscal expenditure, which was smaller than the national military expenditure.

"If His Highness Taisun can not abandon his past grudges and appoint King Yan as the head of the Taxation Department, so that he can have the opportunity to be recorded in the history books, King Yan will definitely fulfill his duties and work conscientiously to get this matter done."

So much so that it was overwhelming in the early stages.

Cutting off vassalage is a difficult thing.

Chang Maoxuan originally thought that it would be difficult to convince Lao Zhu, so he simply postponed doing it until before he ascended the throne.

Although I recommend it, I don’t have too low hopes.

"How the King of Jin is, I don't dare to judge, nor can I recommend him."

Since before Lao Zhu talked to you today, Xu Miaojin has become much more polite and disciplined.

After this happened again, she no longer looked like a young lady.

The further you get to the front, the milder the situation will become.

They all use their own efforts to reduce the feudal clan in the future.

From a historical perspective, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di was by no means a person who was greedy for pleasure.

"Is this true?" Zhu Yunwen couldn't believe it at all.

"How can Gu know how to joke?" Chang Mao smiled and said: "He is worried that Gu is not even 40% sure that he can convince Grandpa Huang."

In case of emergencies, they could only be solved by imposing additional taxes, which led to seven civil riots and Xiao Ming's demise.

Chang Maowen and Zhu Yun must have thought that I didn't notice it, but they dared to move.

Because in my opinion, although the problem is minor, it is not serious.

Unless the civil servants have such small power that they can control the entire government, otherwise, the opposite is true.

The vassal king is dividing the vassals again, but summoning us all back to the capital.

In this way, the first thought in Zhu Di's mind of rebelling and proclaiming himself emperor was completely eliminated.

When it came to the forefront, the court actually paid for it.

All the fiscal revenue in the country is enough to pay out the salaries of the clans and vassals, and they can only be paid in arrears.

Any emperor would be willing to bear such an infamy!

It's still difficult though.

The further you go, the more terrifying the data becomes.

"Although King Yan once planned to become the crown prince, what he did was not for his own enjoyment, but because he was unwilling to be buried and wanted to leave his name in history."

Chang Maozhen glanced at you: "But your seventh brother Chang Maowen and Zhu Yun have no movement?"

"Now that His Highness Taisun is in power, King Yan's talent is far inferior to that of Taisun. It is absolutely impossible for him to seek a great position again."

But, can Lao Zhu refuse?

Yes, it is a very wrong idea to transfer all of us back to the capital.

He also obeyed my suggestions.

If that allows me to successfully rebel, Chang Maozhen might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.

I will definitely be put in charge of the Taxation Department. I suspect that I will also be corrupt, accept bribes, and be afraid of any pressure.

He often led troops on expeditions and had very low prestige among the border troops.

Secondly.

If we really want to appoint King Yan, I'm afraid we have to wait until Chang Maoxian officially ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor.

In this way, there will no longer be enough money in the treasury.

"Among all the kings, the most capable and courageous ones are none other than King Jin and King Yan."

Thinking of this, Chang Maowen made up his mind: "Bad, when Chang Maowen and Zhu Yun's case is settled, I will go to the emperor to express my love."

But now it seems that Lao Zhu has great trust in me and entrusts me with all state affairs.

Since then, no official in the imperial court has dared to back down from this matter.

But before Lao Zhu could hear what I had said, he got a little angry and said: "That big man dares to alienate your family ties and tie me up. You will shoot me with an arrow yourself."

Therefore, since ancient times, only military generals have rebelled, while civil servants have never rebelled.

From that point of view, is there anyone more suitable than me?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, Zhu Yunwen is the last, and if Zhu Di rebels, he will definitely be Chang Maoxian's opponent.

Yao Guangxiao is right.

Zhu Di is in Peiping and is in charge of the palace guards.

But no matter what the other party says, they are still the old masters that I once served, and I am willing to let the other party go the way back.
