"Just the law is not enough for oneself, and the kindness is not enough for government! The state has national laws, and the family has family rules! The Holy Emperor granted the entire land of Lantian County to Yong'an Marquis, which is obviously against the national law and wants to establish the Western Zhou Dynasty feudal system. This is the scourge of chaos in the country! I As an important minister of the empire, how can I sit back and ignore it?"
In front of the Wei Mansion, Wei Zheng looked at the aggressive people in front of him, without any fear on his face, and he said to Yu Dejin in an awe-inspiring manner.
When Yu Dejing heard this, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "What Wei Zuocheng said is wrong! It's just a county in Lantian County. What does it have to do with the feudal system of the Western Zhou Dynasty? The Marquis of Yong'an is benevolent and kind, and everyone in his fiefdom loves him. Youjia, now that I heard that the remaining villages in Lantian County have the opportunity to become the Yong'an Marquis fiefdom, countless people are flocking to it. This is what the people want! Wei Zuocheng, you keep saying that it is for the dignity of national law, but you ignore the people's hearts and hurt tens of thousands of people in Lantian County. People!"
Being said like this by a junior student, Wei Zheng's old face became a little embarrassed. He flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "You are so confused! In the more than ten years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been many restrictions on the enfeoffment of princes and nobles in this dynasty. I have never I have heard that some people can obtain food for tens of thousands of households as a prince! Once this happens, I am afraid that after the Tang Dynasty, there will be many vassal kings, the "Qi King's Rebellion" in the Western Han Dynasty, and the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the Western Jin Dynasty "It's not far off! I will never agree with this kind of political chaos!"
Although the enfeoffment turmoil in July last year was calmed down, Wei Zheng had been worried about Li Er bringing it up again. His worries were actually justified. According to history, in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Er really brought up the old system again. However, the name was changed at that time, and it was called feudalism. The so-called feudalism is just like the feudal princes in the Western Zhou Dynasty, allowing kings and heroes to serve as officials permanently in one place, and they can be inherited by their descendants. This matter is obviously reversing the course of history, so, He was strongly opposed by Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Ma Zhou, Li Baiyao, and Yu Zhining.
Later, when the objections of the ministers were ineffective, it was Princess Changle who was already a married woman who personally came forward to persuade Li Er to take back his life.
The enfeoffment system has its advantages, but it also has great disadvantages. The Anshi Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty was the political turmoil caused by the excessive power of local Jiedushi, which caused the Tang Dynasty, which dominated the world, to suffer an unprecedented loss of strength. The heavy damage, it will never be able to return to its former peak!
Therefore, it is difficult to say in one word whether the enfeoffment system is good or bad!
At this time, facing his former spiritual idol, Yu Dejing felt a little disappointed for no reason. He said angrily: "Wei Zuocheng, are you just ignoring the suffering of tens of thousands of people in Lantian County just to stick to your own political views? In this way, even if you realize your political ambitions, what's the point? Students remember that Yong'an Hou said that everyone in Yanhuang Academy should set their heart for heaven and earth and establish their destiny for the people. Wei Zuocheng, what you do today is not as good as Yong'an Hou's That’s it~!”
Wei Zheng's face was ashen and he said: "Shut up! From ancient times to the present, only when the country is stable can people's livelihood prosper. My political views are to ensure the stability of the Tang Dynasty. Zhuzi only sees the immediate interests clearly, but cannot see the general trend of the world in the future. They are really short-sighted!"
At this time, Yu Dejing couldn't care less about being polite. He retorted: "Wei Zuocheng is really good at eloquence! I don't understand how giving Lantian County to Marquis Yong'an will affect the stability of the country? What you are worried about is nothing more than Marquis Yong'an in the future." It will gradually become more powerful like the princes of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but Lantian County is close to Chang'an. Instead of doubting the loyalty of Marquis Yong'an, you should worry about the lives of the people in other counties around Chang'an!
Besides, Yong'an Hou once said that if all the people in Lantian County cannot afford meat, clothing, and books within three years, then he will automatically give up all his fiefdoms! It can be seen that Marquis Yongan only wanted to let the people live a good life, not to fight for power or gain evil!
As for us villagers, we just want to live a good life under the governance of Marquis Yong'an, without violating national laws and without compromising our private ethics. Wei Zuocheng, why are you so hard on me? "
"Yes! We just want to live a good life following Marquis Yong'an!"
"We just want to live a good life, and we ask Wei Zuocheng to make it happen!"
Yu Dejing's last words spoke to the hearts of all the bankers, and hundreds of bankers in front of the Wei Mansion immediately started talking.
"You~! Humph!!"
Wei Zheng's long-term persistence was said to be worthless by Yu Dejing. He wanted to say something, but he met the people's dagger-like eyes. He had no choice but to flick his sleeves, turn around and enter the house.
Because at this time, he also felt a little confused in his heart, thinking that Wei Zheng had been working conscientiously and self-denyingly to serve the public throughout his life, wasn't it just to make the people of the world live a good life? But now he has become the target of all the people. Did he really do something wrong?
"Master, are you okay?"
In the front yard of Wei Mansion, Mrs. Pei came over and looked at Wei Zheng with a gentle look on his face, expressing concern.
"Oh! It's okay!"
Wei Zheng shook his head and sighed tiredly. At this moment, he seemed to have aged several years.
Ms. Pei hesitated to speak. When she saw this, Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Does Madam also want to persuade me to give up?"
Mr. Pei hesitated and said: "Master, I understand your ambition, but sometimes this person has to be flexible. Yong'an Marquis' acquisition of a larger fief will only benefit more people. This is in line with your wishes, Master." The original intention was to help the world! Why do you insist on your own opinions and offend tens of thousands of people because of things that have not happened in the future? "
Wei Zheng said with difficulty: "But, madam! National laws cannot be violated, and proportions cannot be opened..."
"Sir, it is unclear whether the Marquis of Yong'an controls Lantian, whether it is a blessing or a curse for the Tang Dynasty. Why don't you wait two years and see again? Moreover, the Marquis of Yong'an also said that if he cannot make political achievements within three years, he will voluntarily Withdrawing from all fiefdoms, in other words, in the past three years, he has only been helping the emperor and the court manage Lantian County. What else do you have to worry about, sir?"
Pei said softly.
When Wei Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel enlightened, because according to this, Li Zexuan was indeed just helping the court manage Lantian County within three years! As long as he doesn't do his job well, Li Er can take back all his land at any time. This is still very different from the hereditary feudal system.
"Every word of what Madam said is precious! My husband will consider it carefully!"
Wei Zheng was silent for a long time, then came to his senses, waved to Mr. Pei, and then walked towards the back room. His back looked a little rickety at this moment.
