Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 794: Time of Innovation
"Hey, looking at your expression, you seem unhappy, what happened?"

As soon as the video was connected, before Emperor Chongzhen could speak, Liu Weichao asked curiously.

Judging from Liu Weichao's expression, it seems that he is in a good mood.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded with a cold face and said, "I am indeed very angry now, this is what happened..."

Having said that, he roughly described the news from Nanjing.

Before that, Liu Weichao had been in contact with Emperor Chongzhen. Knowing that the victories in the Liaodong War were one after another, he was sure that it was impossible for Jianlu to come back.Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen's unhappiness certainly did not come from the Liaodong battlefield.

At this time, after listening to it, I guessed correctly, it turned out that there was a moth in another place.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had almost finished speaking, and he still said very angrily: "Most of the nobles in Nanjing were enshrined in the founding of the country, and they followed the emperor Taizu to conquer the Daming country and expel the Tartars. As long as the Ming Dynasty exists, they can Enjoying the glory and wealth for a day, it stands to reason that they should most support Daming and be united with the Emperor of Ming. As a result, you see, this group of white-eyed wolves have done so many things that look like rebellion for their own selfishness. You said, am I going to be pissed off?"

After finishing speaking, he stared at Liu Weichao, hoping that Liu Weichao would agree with him and understand his anger.

Unexpectedly, Liu Weichao actually smiled, the kind of happy smile, which puzzled him.

Emperor Chongzhen was very upset, and said to Liu Weichao a little annoyed: "You are still laughing, I am serious, and I am really angry now!"

"Why are you so angry?" Liu Weichao finally stopped laughing when he heard his words, but he still said to him with a smile on his face, "I think you should be happy too!"

As soon as he said this, he made Emperor Chongzhen inexplicable, and asked a little suspiciously: "Should I be happy?"

Raising such a group of white-eyed wolves, can you still be happy?

"Of course!" Liu Weichao listened, and replied to Emperor Chongzhen without thinking, "Xungui is actually a low-profile version of a vassal king. Now you want to entrust the vassal king overseas, but what about Xungui? This is not easy to entrust." Right? If it has been hereditary in the country, it is tantamount to a parasite on Daming, and it will also make Daming sick. But if you want to mobilize nobles, the impact is not comparable to that of a feudal king who raises pigs. You are now in the army Lieutenant generals also have honorable ones, right?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned his anger into joy, and nodded immediately, wishing Liu Weichao could finish his thoughts in one breath, and hurriedly urged Liu Weichao to say: "Yes, yes, yes, continue, I will listen!"

The Ming Dynasty wanted to last for a long time, not to mention the future, in the past 270 years of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings were already overwhelmed from the beginning of the founding of the country to the Chongzhen period.

This overwhelmed burden is not just talk, it has already reached the court to cheat, refuse to enter the clan family tree, default on salary and other things that ordinary people feel ashamed of.

After listening to Liu Weichao's suggestion, Emperor Chongzhen made up his mind to seal all the vassal kings overseas.

For this matter, as long as the royal family is willing to lower their face, it is actually not too difficult.

Because the vassal king is the fish on the knife board, without the slightest resistance, he can only be slaughtered by the court.

But it is similar to the hereditary vassal king, if you want to touch the hereditary nobles, it is definitely not that easy.

Honor, in the final analysis, is the highest pursuit goal of Wufu.The army fights and joins the army, isn't it just because you want to be named Hou Yinzi?
If the honor system is to be moved, it will not only involve the existing honors, but also those generals in the army who are expected to become honors.And these generals, generally speaking, are generals with real power, who hold military power in their hands.

In the past, when Emperor Chongzhen knew that the Ming Dynasty had perished, most of the nobles surrendered, and he felt dissatisfied with the nobles.Later, after Cheng Guogong's case came out, he became even more dissatisfied with Xungui.

However, at that time, he could only think about it, and there was no better way.

At this time, according to Liu Weichao, it seems that the meritorious system can be changed, and Emperor Chongzhen is of course happy.

No, just listen to Liu Weichao say to him: "If only one or two nobles made mistakes, that doesn't mean anything; but if a lot of nobles have problems, it can explain that the system of nobles In fact, there is something wrong with it. There are so many nobles in Nanjing who have an accident together, so many white-eyed wolves, isn't it just a chance for you to change this noble system?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Emperor Chongzhen immediately said happily after hearing this, "I was so confused for a while, I didn't think about it!"

If we say that, according to the original history, the performance of the nobles when the Ming Dynasty fell, it can actually show that there is a problem with the noble system and needs to be changed.

But the key issue is that other than Emperor Chongzhen, no one else knew what happened in the original history in this time and space.

But now, Nanjing Xungui's large-scale violations of law and discipline are still very serious, and that just happened to be the reason for sending them to your door.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen asked Liu Weichao with anticipation: "According to the experience summed up by your later generations, how should I reform this honorary system?"

"It's very simple!" Liu Weichao said without hesitation after hearing this, "Change the hereditary to the decreasing one. For example, the first generation can be named a duke, and the second generation can only be a marquis. The generation is the earl, just like this. If the descendants of the heroes want to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, they must work hard to contribute to the country, otherwise, it will be a step by step decline. This innovation, you can just follow the performance of the Nanjing honor Let me explain the necessity."

It is impossible not to have the honorary system; otherwise, warriors would not see the future and have no goals to strive for; at least in an environment like ancient times, it was impossible to say that it would be abolished directly.

And if the hereditary is directly canceled, this is actually problematic.Not to mention why the emperor can be hereditary, the military generals fight life and death, don't they just want to bring prosperity and wealth to the family!If it is said that the son has nothing but a title, this will definitely make most of the titled people think of ways to help their children and grandchildren, which will cause more troubles.

As the "keyboard man" of later generations, Liu Weichao certainly participated in debates on such common problems in ancient times and remembered various solutions.

Those that are not practical, such as establishing a republic in ancient times, abolishing such and such, anyway, he does not know what others think, and he thinks it is unreasonable.

Without the corresponding development of productive forces, it will lead to changes in production relations. In other words, without that social foundation, it will be Wang Mang's fate in the end!

Therefore, in the honorary system, he is more in favor of this method of decreasing from generation to generation.

It can even be said that the same can be done for the feudal king.

However, this era is the era of great voyages.Daming needs to go to sea to compete with Xiyi for the world.Therefore, at the level of feudal lord, it is more reasonable to change to enfeoffment overseas.

In fact, when dealing with the vassal kings, under the suggestion of Liu Weichao, Emperor Chongzhen threatened the vassal kings at that time, and refused to entrust overseas, so this kind of descending system was used.

It is also because of this method mentioned before, therefore, when Liu Weichao mentioned it at this time, Emperor Chongzhen immediately understood what to do, Dang even nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, yes, this method can indeed be used instead!"

After hearing this, Liu Weichao continued to say to him: "Actually, you are a very suitable emperor to make this change. Because people in your era thought that you could contact Emperor Taizu. Therefore, these nobles were punished, No matter how the punishment is, the system changes, etc., it can make them misunderstand that the Emperor Taizu also means this!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled triumphantly.

That's right, pretending to be the Emperor Taizu's will is the most powerful support for his arbitrariness!Other emperors did not have this advantage at all, and often suffered resistance under the pretext of "ancestral system".

Thinking about this matter, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to have thought of something, and said to Liu Weichao with such strong interest: "How about using this matter to let Emperor Taizu appear again, and then shock those who have no knowledge?"

When he said this, he remembered the last time he played a small video on the Golden Luan Hall in his mind.He couldn't help but want to laugh seeing those Jinshi who were usually full of poetry and books, who were full of knowledge, were shocked to such a state.

Emperor Chongzhen was really looking forward to seeing the shock of these people again.

However, his request was rejected by Liu Weichao: "It's not necessary, so let's not do this!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little strange, so he asked Liu Weichao: "Didn't you set up a film and television company to make videos? Why, isn't it going well?"

After hearing this, Liu Weichao shook his head and said, "That's not what it means. It's not a problem to make another video, but do you want to live in the shadow of Emperor Taizu for the rest of your life? If you always move Emperor Taizu out, people in the future will Remember, it will only be Emperor Taizu, not you!"

After finishing speaking, he added in his heart: "My wife is about to give birth, and "Yongle Dadian" is busy, so I don't want to make such a deceptive short video!"

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what he was thinking in his stomach, but when he heard his words, he was very grateful for his reminder.

No one wants to live in the shadow of others.Not to mention the emperor, ordinary people are unwilling.

You see, what is better than you, so-and-so, etc., this kind of thing is very harsh.

However, Emperor Chongzhen worked hard to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, and even reached the point of 997, he was still voluntary. As a result, others said that it was all the credit of Emperor Taizu, and Emperor Chongzhen was not happy!
