Don't even say it.
Wu Nian was full of hesitation about whether to knight other sons.
Counting down the founding kings of previous dynasties, they were all afraid that their descendants would have no food or clothing in the future, so they crazily granted titles to them.
The final result was that there were too many nobles in the clan, causing huge financial pressure.
Take the Ming Dynasty as an example. Lao Zhu was a good emperor, but he always had a small peasant mentality, and his care for his children and grandchildren was simply abnormal.
The demise of the Ming Dynasty was closely related to the financial burden caused by the clan.
Is it better to ennoble a son or not to ennoble a son?
If you are knighted, what will be the treatment?
How much salary is given per year, and how will the title be inherited by the descendants?
He is now the king of Han, so it is naturally impossible for him to make his son king.
Take Li Jinzhu's son Wu Chang as an example. If he were granted the title of "Martial Arts Marquis". Wu Chang also had ten sons. So the title must be inherited by Wu Chang's eldest son, but will the other sons be granted titles?
And is Wu Chang's eldest son lowered to a first-class title? For example, to be named a "Martial Arts Master"?
Beyond that, there are many questions.
For example, what about sealing these clan nobles out of town and not allowing them to return to Beijing at will?
Or should we seal them in the capital and not allow them to leave the capital at will?
Should talented clans be sealed? For example, the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty had actual kingdom political power and armies.
For example, the Nine Great Sai Kings of the Ming Dynasty?
This looks pretty good too.
It is equivalent to putting eggs in different baskets. If the main leaders are incompetent and the country is overturned, then at least there are many powerful kings who can save the situation.
If Qin Shihuang had granted his sons all over the country, maybe the Qin Dynasty would not have perished.
The advantages are obvious, but so are the disadvantages.
It is easy for people to rebel.
Who among the capable and ambitious princes would not want to take a step further and become emperor?
All in all, this thing is troublesome. Wu Nian doesn't want to think too deeply at the moment. Needless to say, the prince among the sons, the family property belongs to him.
The eldest son Wu Min is still young, and the eighth son Wu Chang is still in his infancy. Let’s put things off for now until we can’t hold them off any longer.
But there is one thing.
He will fulfill his father's responsibility and raise his children well. Even if he is not knighted, he will ensure that his son has enough food and clothing.
The premise is not to be a loser.
Li Jinzhu, Eqin, and Eniang were very dissatisfied after hearing this. They wanted to make a promise or be directly knighted, but in the end they got one.
"Food and clothing are sufficient."
What's the difference between having a son and having a daughter?
They were all aggrieved and sad in their hearts. But he didn't dare to say anything for fear of offending Wu Nian.
A woman's sorrow is not easy to bear. Wu Nian felt embarrassed, so he came here in good spirits, returned in despair, and left in a hurry.
Apart from a few worries about happiness, Wu Nian's life in the palace was mostly relaxed and happy.
Even the work of Wu Nian's cabinet ministers, six ministers and other important ministers became much easier.
The establishment of a dynasty did not simply change from a general's palace to a dynasty.
The former Fuhan General's Mansion was known as a small imperial court. But because it was a grass-roots team, its smooth operation was inseparable from the efforts of Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, Wang Youxiao and others.
The establishment of the Han Dynasty was based on the Chu State's civil and military system of hundreds of officials, with certain modifications.
Various powers, rules and regulations are very complete.
The number of bureaucrats serving the Han Dynasty was also unprecedentedly large.
As long as the people above don't have their heads crooked. The system still works very well.
This system operates smoothly under the command of cabinet ministers Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, and Zhang Haiping. The work of cabinet ministers and civil and military officials also became naturally smooth and easy.
Cabinet office.
It is located in the palace, a small and inconspicuous Wenhua Palace.
morning.
Inside the Wenhua Hall. Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, and Zhang Haiping were sitting on the couch, talking to several officials standing below.
Next to them were Goguryeo eunuchs with fair faces and beards who were proficient in Chinese, as well as imperial guards and minor officials to serve them.
After several officials left, Liu Zhixing felt a little thirsty, so he asked the eunuch to go down and make tea. When the tea arrived, he opened the lid and drank half of it. Then he closed the lid and placed it on the small case. He raised his head and said to the two of them, "Everything has its pros and cons."
"The king annexed Goguryeo, and the disadvantages came out."
Having said this, Liu Zhixing smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Li Yong and Zhang Haiping also shook their heads with a wry smile.
During the Qingming Dynasty, officials in Liaodong were governed by the "Wang of Hell", and ordinary officials would not dare to commit corruption or accept bribes. The environment is great.
But on the Goguryeo side, the situation was much more complicated.
Those officials just now were the officials from the Supervisory Yuan and the Ministry of Punishment. They were the patrol censors under the Supervisory Yuan. They investigated the corruption problems of some officials in Youyan area and handed over some evidence.
It has been difficult to be a king since ancient times, and it is also difficult to be a prime minister.
If you become an ignorant and ignorant king, you will lose your head.
If you become an incompetent prime minister and cause the country to collapse, it will be infamy for thousands of years.
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.
The country is vast and there are all kinds of people. Although work has become easier now, when facing such a huge number of bureaucrats, we must keep our eyes open to avoid promoting villains and deposing gentlemen.
Liu Zhixing and the other three were not ordinary prime ministers, but the founding prime ministers of the country. Wu Nian was willing to delegate power again, and they were all grateful.
I am afraid that I will not do well.
However, apart from these messy things, the government is generally clear and clear.
The moods of Liu Zhixing and the others quickly improved. And the division of labor is clear, and we continue to work hard. If you are in doubt, discuss it with each other.
If you still can't decide, you can only ask Wu Nian for advice.
But very rarely, most of them take the crime themselves.
After they read the book and gave their own solutions, they were taken away by the eunuchs and handed over to Wu Nian Pianhong.
Wu Nian's speed in criticizing people is often very fast.
Liu Zhixing and the other three were very suspicious whether Wu Nian had read them all one by one. But I feel happy.
This is the king's trust.
As workers, trusted by their bosses, they often feel their blood boiling.
Soon, it's time to get off work. The eunuch came in to remind. But some government affairs still remain. Li Yong is old and lacks energy. He clasped his fists at Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping and said, "You two, I'll take the first step."
"Master Li, please." Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping returned the greeting with clasped fists. After Li Yong left, Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping finished handling the documents together. Surrounded by the imperial guards, they left the Wenhua Palace and arrived at the palace gate.
Palace entrance.
There were two teams of people surrounding the sedan, waiting for a long time.
Liu Zhixing's eyes focused and he found a familiar yet unfamiliar person in his team.
Call it familiar.
This is Zhang Zhong, the eldest son of his teacher Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen had no fame, but he was not incompetent. He just failed the imperial examination because he had no intention of doing so. In his hometown, he opened a private academy and trained some scholars.
Call it strange.
When Zhang Chen and Zhang Zhong went south in Meng Yuan, they took their families and relatives south to live in Chudu.
The relationship between master and disciple is naturally close.
Liu Zhixing also inquired about Zhang Chen's situation privately. After learning that the teacher was safe, he was very relieved and sent someone to send some silver coins.
Liu Zhixing also quickly realized that there was nothing wrong with going to the Three Treasures Hall.
"Could it be that the teacher's family wants to return to Liaodong to live?"
