Come out of the delivery room.
Emperor Zhu and Queen Luo walked side by side on the way back to the palace.
The surrounding guards and maids knew what the emperor and his wife were going to talk about, so they just followed from a distance.
Anyway, it is impossible for any assassin to appear within this high wall.
"Queen, I won't worry about any old troubles."
Emperor Zhu walked forward with his hands clasped behind his back, and Queen Luo followed suit, which was a bit like a husband and a wife accompanying each other.
But the two of them have completely different thoughts now.
For Luo Fangmei.
Zhu Yichi is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and will succeed the Ming Dynasty in the future.
And his position as prince is very stable.
As long as you don't make any big mistakes.
Emperor Zhu would not do anything to abolish the elders and establish the young.
This is first of all an indecent matter - Queen Luo is very clear about how much Emperor Zhu attaches importance to maintaining the authority of etiquette.
But so many sons were enfeoffed, and many territories seemed to be very developed big countries, such as in the New World.
Empress Luo has seen the terrain of the New World, and it is easy to support a population similar to that of the Central Plains.
Now the New World is empty.
But at the speed of the Ming Dynasty’s immigration to the New World.
Twenty-three years later - that is, after Emperor Zhu retired and became the Supreme Emperor.
There are at least tens of millions of Chinese people in the New World.
And they are basically young and strong.
Although Emperor Zhu would not entrust the New World to one person.
But it is obvious that the second prince Zhu Yixin, who was entrusted to Jinshan, is the prince with the most stable status, the largest territory, and the most resources.
And he is the son of Concubine Shi.
Nowadays, the proportion of Dan family members among the top brass of the Ming Dynasty is very high.
The second prince had status, territory, and connections in the navy.
How can such a prince not be feared?
"Queen, times have changed. When you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, what you need to know is not military affairs, but law and management. The Ming Dynasty is so big that the cost of continuing to expand has exceeded the benefits. Therefore, you don't need Xiong to be my successor. In the new continent, what is needed is to master the balance and the balance of government. But the second son, or the princes who were entrusted to the new continent are different. They have to lead their respective kingdoms to expand and conquer. It is difficult to fight any big things in the old continent. I will spend my whole life accomplishing the goal of fighting the war and monopolizing the New World."
Emperor Zhu said with his hands behind his back.
"Our descendants cannot be raised as fat pigs like the princes and grandsons of Taizu. My children will not only be emperors and kings. This is not their only way out. In the future, I will definitely have extraordinary achievements. With so many descendants, it is impossible for me to arrange a crown for each of them, so I will give them the best education! The Ming Dynasty Royal Family Consortium will establish a royal family education foundation, and my descendants will receive the best education. , their future can be in business, politics, the military, doctors, bureaucrats, or lawyers."
"The future Ming Dynasty will not be a Ming Dynasty with a monarchy and dictatorship, and the boss will not become an emperor with absolute authority like me. His power as an emperor will be limited. You must remember that the emperor's etiquette cannot be restricted, nor can To restrain others, in the same way, the emperor with absolute power is not protected by power."
Emperor Zhu couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the puzzled look on Queen Luo's face.
At least until now, there are still many people like Empress Luo who cannot understand what he did.
But Zhu Daohua knew it.
Any unfettered power will be counterattacked.
There is only one founding emperor.
It is impossible for Zhu Yichi to obtain as much authority as Zhu Daohua.
Even just getting close is difficult.
Unless Zhu Daohua is like Zhu Yuanzhang.
Kill them first.
Use fear and killing to maintain the authority of the imperial power - but if the imperial power needs to rely on violence and killing to maintain, then when the imperial power weakens in the future, the royal family will also face violence and killing.
This situation has been repeated in China for almost two thousand years.
If Zhu Daohua wants to end this situation, he must establish the authority of Qili - in other words, he must promote constitutionalism.
But advancing constitutionalism does not mean that the royal family has to give up power.
on the contrary.
The power of the royal family might even be strengthened as a result.
However, power will no longer be concentrated in the hands of the emperor alone.
Prince Zhu, who was entrusted by the Ming Dynasty, was a member of the royal family who was active in politics and business.
In the House of Representatives.
It had to be led by an influential member of the royal family.
The main political parties in the House of Commons will also have members of the royal family.
in the business world.
The Ming Royal Family Financial Group will support promising royal descendants, with the Royal Family Financial Group as the core and surrounded by smaller financial groups.
The royal family of the Ming Dynasty.
Be like an octopus, extending its tentacles to every corner and taking control of everything.
This is the solution given by Emperor Zhu to solve the future of the royal family members.
Give them the best education.
Train them to become elites in all aspects.
With the emperor as the core and the royal family members as tentacles, an octopus-like dynasty was formed.
most.
It can make the Ming Empire unable to leave the royal family.
In this way, doesn’t it mean that Guo Zuo has been extended?
And to achieve this.
The emperor's power cannot be too great.
otherwise.
Future generations will still be able to avoid being raised like pigs.
"Have you heard? Concubine Li gave birth to a prince, and Emperor Mingming publicly announced that this was the future King of Korea!"
Seoul.
Inside Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Several ministers wearing red robes and black gauze were talking quietly.
Sitting on the throne, the North Korean King Li Zuo also looked a little less energetic, and his face was very ugly.
It's not because the fourteenth prince of the Ming Dynasty might become his successor - Li Zuo had no children. If he adopted an adopted son from a side branch as the crown prince, he would probably not be as close to him as his grandson.
and.
If the prince of Ming Dynasty became the king of Korea.
Then those rebellious Dong Xue Xue and the Party would not dare to cause trouble, right?
And the situation in North Korea is not optimistic either.
The Dongxue rebellious party is becoming more and more powerful.
Busan and Ulsan have completely fallen into the hands of the rebels, and Gyeongju is surrounded.
The so-called "Eastern Hak Revolutionary Army" has already hijacked more than 300,000 people.
so many people.
I am afraid it cannot be extinguished solely by North Korea's power.
Now the two groups of ministers are talking about asking the country to send troops to wipe out the rebellious parties.
However, the wealthy families in Yangban were worried that the superior country would directly abolish the Korean state and implement the system of prefectures and counties in Korea.
"If you ask for troops from the higher country, will the emperor of the higher country send a governor-general to supervise the country?"
"I'm not afraid of being sent to supervise the country. I'm just afraid of going directly to the counties."
"In that case, wouldn't North Korea be destroyed in our hands? What should we do? We cannot become the sinners of North Korea!"
Similar discussions arose one after another.
And the King of Joseon, Li Zuo, was actually just a puppet of the two powerful families. If he hadn't been canonized by the Ming Emperor, his life would have been even worse than that of the Emperor of Japan.
So now I squint my eyes and look like I am resting with my eyes closed, letting the people below talk about me.
Right now.
Zhao Gengsheng, the master of the Zhao family in Pyongyang, snorted coldly: "What are you talking about? The Ming Dynasty is the parent of Korea. How can there be any children in the world who criticize their parents? If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, Korea would have been destroyed by Japanese pirates more than a hundred years ago. , how can we still have the current state of Zuo? As a filial son of the Ming Dynasty, we all have to accept how the Ming Dynasty arranges North Korea! Jin Yinda, don’t forget that your family was a hero who followed the emperor of the Ming Dynasty back then!"
Zhao Gengsheng's words made the North Korean ministers who were discussing at the scene change their expressions.
North Korea claims to be the most filial son of the Ming Dynasty.
As a filial son.
So of course you have to do what your parents say.
Not to mention arranging for a prince to be the king of Korea.
Even if the state of Korea is directly abolished and the province of Korea is established.
There can be no objections.
Otherwise, what kind of filial son would he be?
Jin Yinda of the Andong Jin Sect also changed his face slightly.
Kim In-dae is now the Chief Secretary-General of North Korea's Secretary-General's Office.
A high-ranking official.
But in fact, the Andong Kim clan was still a small local clan five years ago.
Although there are several officials who have gone abroad, they are not considered a wealthy Korean family.
Kim Yin Dae is now able to speak to the North Korean court.
It was all due to the fact that during the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong War, the Andong Kim clan organized tens of thousands of Korean civilians to accompany the army, and they were able to make great contributions and became a major Korean clan, ranking among the top two classes of wealthy clans.
This is all because of climbing on the thick legs of the Great Tomorrow.
And Jin Yin was promoted from a young scholar to a first-level official in just a few years.
It's entirely because the Andong Jin family has become a wealthy family of two classes - a wealthy family, it means they have privileges.
The imperial examination in North Korea was actually a special promotion for two wealthy families.
Of course, the big ass of Jin Yin, who has now become a wealthy family, has also changed. When he heard that someone in the Ming Dynasty wanted to annex North Korea.
Patriotism suddenly surged.
after all.
If North Korea becomes a province of Ming Dynasty.
He, Jin Yin Da, and the descendants of the Andong Jin family must be like thousands of scholars in the Ming Dynasty.
Slowly work your way up from a ninth-grade scholar officer.
Even if the official career is smooth.
Each level can be upgraded smoothly.
Being able to join the cabinet before the age of 50 is considered a great blessing from the emperor of tomorrow.
In the current North Korea, he became a high-ranking official when he was thirty years older than Jin Yin.
However, Zhao Gengsheng's merciless lesson made Jin Yinda react suddenly.
He knew he had just made a mistake.
Not to mention the Andong Kim family who became a wealthy family in North Korea because of their contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
Any wealthy family in Korea's Yangban class has little weight in speaking in front of the Ming court.
Even if Emperor Zhu really wants to annex North Korea.
Anton Kim couldn't object and could only applaud.
Otherwise, the entire Andong Kim clan might be gone.
Whether he is a sinner of North Korea is another matter.
The Andong Jin family must be condemned.
Now he could only lower his head in despair, not daring to speak any more.
"Alas, it's no use!" Mr. Zhao sighed, "With the guns and cannons given by the State, I can't beat the Dongxue rebels. If this continues, if I don't invite the State to send troops, I'm afraid the rebels will all be beaten. It’s Seoul.”
Zhao Gengsheng said it was more of a lament than a scolding.
Have no idea.
If North Korea can calm down the chaos on its own.
That is naturally good.
North Korea has nothing to do and is usually filial.
How could your country want to annex North Korea?
So after the news of the East Society's rebellion came.
Both groups of wealthy families in North Korea have reached an agreement - if you can go to the country without trouble, don't bother.
After all, if they live behind closed doors, the good lives of the two wealthy families can still go on.
In case the superior country intervenes, the North Korean issue must be resolved.
The first person to be operated on must be the privilege of the two classes of wealthy families.
In fact.
East learns how the rebellion can go so smoothly.
The two halves of the wealthy families have monopolized all the resources in North Korea, and the people are living in poverty. Many wealthy families have no way to advance, so they have taken refuge in Dongxue Society.
It is equivalent to a group of North Korean elites leading a group of oppressed North Korean civilians to rebel.
It can no longer be suppressed by the Korean army.
But asking for help from Ming Dynasty is really worrying.
The current emperor of tomorrow is a businessman.
This is not the Wanli Emperor back then.
Very preoccupied.
If you want him to send troops, let alone whether he will send a minister to govern North Korea, at the very least, you must first extort a military expenditure.
But where is the money in North Korea?
North Korea is a vassal state.
Therefore, there is no customs to collect customs duties - tariffs are central taxes and North Korea has no right to collect them.
No tariffs.
We can only rely on local commercial taxes and property taxes.
But North Korea is a very poor place, and there is no business anywhere.
If businesses cannot collect taxes, they have to rely on property taxes.
North Korea actually has a large population and a lot of land, but it cannot collect any land tax.
The reason is also very simple.
Most of the fields in North Korea belong to the two wealthy families.
And the two groups of wealthy families are exempt from tax-this tax method is really comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty that perished 200 years ago. What is even more ridiculous is that due to the 500 years of reproduction in the Lee Dynasty, the praise given to the rebels after the Imjin Japanese Rebellion, and the selling of officials and titles, etc. The proportion of Liangban households in the total population continued to increase, and at this time they accounted for about 60% to 70% of the total population.
If 60 to 70% of the people in a country do not have to pay taxes, it is easy to imagine how bad the financial situation will be.
Of course.
The two wealthy families are rich.
But this is the money of the two wealthy families, not the money of the North Korean court.
Please go to the country and send troops, if you don't have military expenses.
Then the Ming court would definitely put forward other conditions.
Either send a governor to govern North Korea, or let the fourteenth prince be the king of North Korea.
Of course.
What the two groups of wealthy families are most afraid of is that the Ming Dynasty will directly withdraw from Korea and establish Korea Province.
In this way, everyone's privileges will be gone.
The key is, if the Ming Dynasty is determined to do this.
The two wealthy families in North Korea really can't stop it.
What if the Ming court wants to abolish the two classes in Korea, allocate land to the lower classes, and set up the same imperial examination as the Ming Dynasty, so that everyone has an equal opportunity to rise.
The Korean people will definitely be overjoyed to welcome Master Wang.
Right now.
An official in a red robe hurried in. He was sweating profusely and didn't have time to wipe it off. He fell to the ground with a thud and said in horror: "It's not good! It's not good! Something is going wrong! Something is going wrong!"
The North Korean officials present were shocked when they saw this.
Zhao Gengsheng asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
"The Donghao rebellious bandits launched the banner of "abolish the two classes and divide the fields equally", which attracted many people to join in. Now the whole south of Korea is in chaos!"
