Chapter 304
At any rate, Zhu Di didn't kill brothers, but he killed two brothers, so the situation was a little more serious.

Empress Changsun was keenly aware of this and held her husband's hand.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, Guanyin maidservant!"

Li Shimin patted his eldest grandson Wugou's hand, smiling a little lonely.

"I'm really envious, the strongest prestige of the era, expanding the territory and expanding the land, the power shakes the four directions, and all nations come to court!"

Zhao Kuangyin said that he can only envy this kind of thing.

Because he spent his whole life in the Great Song Dynasty, but he was not able to conquer the Quartet, let alone such a cool thing as the coming of all nations.

Even Liu Che envied Zhu Di.

The concept of the coming of all nations to the DPRK does not exist in his big man.

His technology and ability at this time did not allow this kind of thing to happen.

"Father, you see, even the immortal family recognizes my achievements!"

Zhu Di immediately showed off to Zhu Yuanzhang proudly.

Zhu Yuanzhang just snorted coldly when he heard the words, and did not speak.

What more can you say!
All the light curtains of the Xian family recognized Zhu Di, even if he didn't like Zhu Di's great achievements, he could only admit his achievements.

"But having said that, Emperor Chengzu, how many troops did you have in the Ming Dynasty, and your fighting power is really strong. I really envy you, an emperor who can open up all directions!"

Envious of Zhao Kuangyin's real name system, he expressed his desire to see how many soldiers Zhu Di has.

"Less than 30 million!"

Zhu Di laughed loudly, "There are 72 guards in total, I can't disclose the exact number!"

"Military strength, it's not about the strength!"

He was still very cautious and did not disclose his details.

Right!

It's normal to be careful with such sensitive data.

"but…"

Speaking of this, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied: "Father, your policy of guarding the world as a feudal lord is not very wise!"

"I spent a lot of energy to suppress them and prevent them from forming a separatist regime, which is a disaster for one side!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered when he heard the words: "The separatism of the feudal town is false, but it is true to prevent your throne from being stabilized!"

"Fortunately, you have some tricks to get rid of your brothers and let their descendants be abolished, so that you can't threaten your throne."

Zhu Di nodded frankly this time: "Yes, that's right, they have indeed affected my status."

"But if the vassal system is allowed to continue, do you think it is still far away from the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty?"

"Power will make people inflated and lose themselves!"

"They have fiefdoms, certain palaces and guards, and some guard the frontier with large armies. They can guarantee their loyalty for one or two generations, but what about after ten generations? What about when the central control is weak?"

"Is this very different from the reduced version of the enfeoffment system?"

"Didn't King Wu of Zhou also hope that the entrusted nobles would help him guard the world, but what happened?"

"Spring and Autumn and Warring States, Great Zhou perishes!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Could it be that you manage well?"

"If you dare to abuse my descendants of the Zhu family, you will not be spared!"

This is a disguised admission of the unreasonableness of his vassal system.

This is already a very big concession.

Zhu Di naturally understood this, and said with a smile: "Don't dare, I can only cut off the rebellion ability of the vassal on the basis of my father. As for the financial treatment, naturally there will be no less!"

"I'm good to those vassal kings, I almost treat them like gods!"

In fact, he wanted to say that he had raised the princes as pigs.

Are pigs any threat?

Will not!
Moreover, you can kill a few heads when they are fattened up.

"However, I would like to add a few words!"

At this time, Emperor Kangxi suddenly spoke, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and his father and son, "You shouldn't mind it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waited with cold eyes, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't hide it."

Hearing this, Kangxi stroked his beard and smiled, "Emperor Hongwu, are you sure you won't be angry after hearing this?"

This made Zhu Yuanzhang frown, "What do you mean?"

Li Shimin and the others also looked over, and it was obvious that there was a story in it.

"Your vassal system is one of the important reasons that led to the demise of your Ming Dynasty!"

Emperor Kangxi spoke slowly, but his words were not startling and endless.

"What do you mean?"

"How did this system that guarantees the welfare and preferential treatment of my descendants of Ming Dynasty become an important reason for the demise of Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned!
Qianlong spoke up: "Because there are too many of your vassal kings, everyone is raised like a pig, and the financial burden is too great."

"And the life of the feudal kings is extravagant!"

"Most importantly, they take the state's support for them for granted."

"When facing the central government's fiscal deficit crisis, when the country may perish, this group of pampered people who don't care about external affairs are not even willing to spend a penny on counter-insurgency!"

"Even if he was put on the neck with a knife by the peasant uprising army, he still didn't pull it out until he was killed."

"And their massive wealth also stimulated the desire of the peasant rebel army, strengthened their strength, and caused the world to become more turbulent."

this word...

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately darkened.

"Also..."

Qianlong looked afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would not be angry, "At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were still a few vassal kings who were knowledgeable."

"They used money to work in the army, to help the court ease the rebellion, and then they were suspected by Emperor Chongzhen. Not only were they deposed as common people, they were also imprisoned in Fengyang Royal Prison, and they were tortured for seven years before they could escape."

"With this lesson learned from the past, the vassal kings would rather stick to Jinshan than to labor in the army, for fear of being persecuted by the court."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang directly crushed a horizontal bar under the imperial case.

With an angry red face, he looked at Chongzhen Zhu Youjian with murderous intent in his eyes.

"At first I thought you were pitiful..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was deep and terrifying, "Now it seems that you really don't have any talent to be an emperor!"

"Da Ming died at your hands, that's what it should be, even if Taizong Li Shimin is sent to assist you, that's just a floating cloud!"

Being evaluated by his ancestors like this, Chongzhen immediately wanted to die.

Is he that bad?

Just don't have the ability to govern the country at all?
He actually said that it was useless to ask Li Shimin to assist him!
Qianlong wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Kangxi's two "cough coughs", and he backed away with a smile.

Kangxi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Don't be so angry, Emperor Hongwu, don't you want to know how many people there are in your clan after the Ming Dynasty?"

"In order to support them, how much revenue has been taken from the finances?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't make a sound, just breathed heavily/heavily, as if he could spew fire out of anger.

Zhu Di accepted the conversation, frowned and said, "Hurry up, don't tantalize yourself!"

Li Shimin, Liu Bang, and Emperor Shihuang all nodded, just wanting to eat melons quietly.
