The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Wenhua Hall,

The retired emperor Hongzhi had his hands behind his back. Wuding Hou and Pingjiang Bo were ultimately the malpractices of the vassal system.

After the ancestors were granted titles, their descendants became corrupt over time.

But the court did not dare to easily change the vassal system.

"Wuding Hou and Pingjiang Bo have been like this one after another. What do you think?"

The people who can speak in the hall are all smart people. Yan Chengjin stood aside and said silently. Changing the vassal system requires careful consideration.

However, after the Jingnan Campaign, Emperor Wen Zhu Di wanted to prevent someone from imitating him and raising an army.

Except for vassal kings like Wuding Hou who guard the border.

Most of the other Pan Wangs have no military power. Compared with the time of Zhu Yunwen, it is actually very difficult for vassal kings to rebel.

The court is not allowed to communicate with civil and military ministers. Although it can prevent rebellion, it cannot prevent vassal kings from corruption and getting fatter and fatter.

Jiang Mian bowed: "I think it should be considered carefully!"

The ministers nodded and expressed their deep agreement.

After the court meeting, Yang Tinghe thought about it for a long time out of curiosity. What did Yan Chengjin say about going to sea?

Finally, he couldn't help but come to the duty room of the Censorate.

Yan Chengjin was thinking about the matter of Wudinghou. How did he advise Yang Tinghe together? Yang Tinghe came as if he had a telepathic connection.

Yang Tinghe walked into the duty room and noticed that Yan Chengjin was sitting on a chair with the new Ming law opened by the big desk not far away.

"Master Yan is waiting for me, right? Tell me!"

"Master Yang, don't worry, tea is here."

Seeing Yan Chengjin's face eased and he sent someone to pour him tea, Yang Tinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

This kid finally stopped guarding against him.

"I came here to talk to you about serious matters! You must not dissuade the court from sending ships. If it's too late, the silver mountains will be occupied by the French. You don't know how many ships the French have."

"Does Lord Yang know?"

"I don't know. In short, don't dissuade him!"

Yang Tinghe saw this boy asking questions like this, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

"I am not dissuading the court, but I don't believe Lord Yang. Now that Wu Dinghou has been escorted back to the capital, I have something to ask. If Lord Yang dares to advise, I will believe him."

Yang Tinghe's face was not very good. After thinking carefully for a moment, he suddenly stared at Yan Chengjin and asked.

"You say."

"The first generation of Pingjiang Bo and Wu Dinghou made meritorious deeds, but their descendants were blessed with favors, and they were ignorant and unskilled. They also bullied the people and brought disaster to the area.

I want to abolish the hereditary system of vassal kings. After three generations, they will no longer be blessed."

The bad policies of vassal kings are the chronic disease of the feudal dynasty.

As time goes by, most vassal kings will only become richer and richer, which means that land annexation will become more and more serious, accelerating decline.

But if they have made military achievements, they should be made kings.

It stops at three generations, so that future generations still need to make meritorious deeds before they can be made vassal kings, which can prevent vassal kings from becoming a burden to the court.

Like in the previous life, there is no hereditary general.

Yang Tinghe's hand holding the teacup stiffened for a moment, and his mind was greatly shocked. He looked at Ye Zhun not far away.

Yan Chengjin first offended the gentry, and now he is going to offend the vassal kings.

It can be expected that no vassal king will agree.

"Lord Yang dare not?"

Yang Tinghe's eyes flashed, and his pupils trembled a few times, "Do you know that no one dares to touch the vassal king system?"

Although traveling to France broadened his horizons.

But he is still a gentry in his bones. The degree of acceptance is to lift the sea ban and send large ships to sea, and dare not touch the interests of gentry and officials.

Now he is asked to implement the feudal system, he really needs to think deeply.

Yan Chengjin pulled out a booklet from the bottom of the cabinet, "If the Censorate really investigates, I wonder how many feudal lords like Pingjiang Bo can be found. If we don't beg when Wuding Hou comes to Beijing to be punished, how can the Ming Dynasty be prosperous?"

Yang Tinghe looked at it for a few times and swallowed hard: "Do you know what happened to Shang Yang?"

"He was torn apart by a chariot, and I remember that his corpse was whipped?"

"It's good that you know it. I won't disclose this matter, and you don't have to advise in the court. Let's open the Silk Road and rectify the salt merchants." Yang Tinghe hurriedly handed the booklet to Yan Chengjin and stood up to say goodbye.

Yan Chengjin: "..."

It seems that Yang Tinghe is not brave enough, so he has to go to Zhu Houzhao.

Ye Zhun on the side thought about it and decided to report to the retired emperor Hongzhi.

...

Fengtian Hall,

After reading the memorial of the Hedong salt merchants selling the surplus salt, the retired emperor Hongzhi was about to dismiss the officials and take a rest.

In sight, the young eunuch was walking towards the center of the hall to report.

Not long after, Ye Zhun walked into the hall and whispered to the retired emperor Hongzhi.

Jiang Mian raised his eyebrows: "Not allowing the hereditary system of the vassal kings can indeed prevent the corruption of the offspring.

However, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the vassal kings in the world, and the Duke of Ying is still fighting for the court."

"Yes, if the hereditary system of the vassal kings is abolished at this time, what will the Duke of Ying think when he knows it?" Zhang Sheng deeply agreed.

Li Dongyang was frightened in his heart, but he thought about it carefully.

This boy is steady. He dared to tell Yang Tinghe at this time. Could it be that he really has a way?

The corners of the retired emperor Hongzhi's eyes were slightly shining. Even the Yang family did not dare to do it. In comparison, the Yan family knew that I was worried about the vassal king system and relieved my worries. They were really my ministers of life.

Rumors gradually spread from the palace, and all officials discussed it privately.

But after a few days, Yan Chengjin never submitted a memorial, and Yang Tinghe was relieved.

…

Eastern Palace,

Zhu Houzhao muttered to himself while looking at today's memorial, and looked at Gu Dayong suspiciously.

"Shouldn't Qian Banban be back by now?"

"It only took half a year for the envoy to go to the Tang and Song Dynasties. It's time to come back." Gu Dayong estimated that if Qian Ning did not encounter any accidents, it would be faster.

Zhu Houzhao closed the sparse music, and Qian Daban was skilled in bow and horse shooting. He must have been left in the Tang and Song Dynasties!

Although he knew that the Tang and Song Dynasties were run by Yan Chengjin, he just couldn't get hold of this doggy official. Otherwise, the Tang and Song Dynasties would have to share at least half of it with him.

At this time, the young eunuch walked in and reported: "The new emperor..."

"What did you ask me to do!"

"Master Yan... I want you to go to the house." The little eunuch was almost frightened to death by Zhu Houzhao's whistling.

Zhu Houzhao blinked his eyes, sat up straight, and told Gu Dayong to prepare the horses and prepare to climb over the wall and leave the palace.

Half an hour later, Zhu Houzhao appeared in Yan's mansion happily.

Walking into the study room in the middle of the lake, only He Neng was guarding it.

He Neng stopped Gu Dayong from apologizing and smiled: "Eunuch Gu, the young master said that the study room is small, only big enough for the new emperor."

Such a big study room, are you lying?

"If you don't come in, you won't come in. Do you really think we are rare?" Gu Da used Yun Zhan, who was holding it in his left hand, to his right hand with dissatisfaction, curling his lips, but he was still very curious in his heart.

But he didn't dare to act arrogantly in Yan Mansion.

Zhu Houzhao walked into the study with his eyebrows flying and closed the door, "Lao Gao, did you send someone to arrest Qian Banban?"

“I don’t know either, but today we invite the new emperor to discuss the abolition of hereditary feudal kingship.

I have figured out a way. Tomorrow, the new emperor will play a double act with me in the court hall, and the new emperor will be able to gain merit. "

Yan Chengjin did not get up to greet him, but scribbled on the desk.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care. He pulled up a stool and sat next to the desk with interest. He said happily: "I don't agree."

"..." Yan Chengjin.

"Did you kill my companion?"

"..." Yan Chengjin.

"I have known for a long time that you were responsible for the Tang and Song Dynasties, but I have no evidence. I plan to go to the Tang and Song Dynasties to have a look in person." Zhu Houzhao looked like you were in charge.

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully and said, "Okay, let me show my cards. Wang Shouren is in the Tang and Song Dynasties."

When this guy says he wants to run away, every word is true. He really knows how to run.

Zhu Houzhao pinched Yan Chengjin's neck and said angrily: "As expected, you are such a dog official. I regard you as my brother, but you didn't tell me!"

Yan Chengjin wasn't afraid of him either. He hit Zhu Houzhao in the stomach with a left hook. Did he put it here to give you face?

After a while, the two of them sat on the ground with their clothes disheveled.

Zhu Houzhao said happily: "If the reform fails, I will also go to the Tang and Song Dynasties to become emperor."

With Lao Gao's cunning, cunning and resourcefulness, if he just wants to make money as a chief assistant, it will be easy.

But now the opposite is true.

He had offended the gentry and many officials, and now he wanted to offend the feudal king.

Therefore, he believed that even if the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty had selfish motives, Lao Gao had no selfish motives.

The rebellion of King Ning, Bo Pingjiang and Marquis Wu Ding shows that the feudal king's bad governance was a chronic disease of the court, but after thinking about it, his father did not have the courage to correct the feudal king.

Yan Chengjin bowed and said, "Please keep the new emperor secret."

"Don't worry, I won't tell you." Zhu Houzhao blinked and looked at the current map of the Tang and Song Dynasties, "Old Gao, if the princes don't agree tomorrow, how are you going to beg?"

"To rectify the feudal king, it is not necessary to harm the feudal king's interests. If it does not harm the feudal king's interests, wouldn't it be enough?"
