"Hey, you've been in the capital for a year, and you haven't calmed down yet?"
Looking at the face and hearing the familiar voice, King Qin rubbed his eyes vigorously, as if to confirm that he was not blind.
"Brother Fu Wang, why are you here? I heard someone said that you should stay at Duke Chengguo's Mansion!"
"I thought it was deserted there, so I asked to move to the Tenth Prince's Mansion to be your companion!"
"Hahaha……"
King Qin Zhu Yizhen was just stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. After a moment: "Since you are here, I will fulfill my promise in Luoyang and treat you to a drink!"
"Come on, if you have any good wine, I'll bring it myself!"
"Brother Wang, you don't have to bury people like this. Although I am in the Tenth Prince's Palace, I am not completely imprisoned. Although it is not as good as the Prince of Qin's Palace, I still have money to buy some good wine!"
"Okay, there's nothing to argue about, just drink!"
After King Fu finished speaking, he took the food box and several jars of good wine from Chen Changan's hand. The two of them didn't say anything. It was just a glass of wine for you and a sip of food for me. Although it was boring, it was a pleasure to drink.
Two quarters of an hour later, the table was in a mess.
After drinking enough wine and a cup of hot tea, King Qin sat up straight and looked at King Fu with burning eyes: "Brother Wang, don't you regret it?"
"What do you regret?"
King Fu blew the floating tea leaves in the cup: "Do you have to wait for the butcher's knife to strike before you wake up? Although your Majesty is young, he is decisive in killing.
He will not hesitate to raise the butcher's knife to anyone who dares to hinder the revival of the Ming Dynasty. Ministers are no exception, nobles are no exception, and the clan is no exception! "
"Those idiots don't even think about it. If it weren't for Your Majesty, given the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, the country would have been destroyed sooner or later.
Whether it was Chahar Lindan Khan taking control of the Central Plains, or the slaves breaking through the border, or internal civil unrest breaking out,
As the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, we will definitely be executed. Otherwise, how can they sleep peacefully.
We are all of the royal blood of the Zhu family. Any vassal king can quickly raise an army under the banner of restoring the country. This is absolutely not allowed by foreign enemies.
Therefore, what I am doing now is not to save Daming, but to save myself. "
Bang... bang...
King Qin clapped his hands, his eyes full of approval.
"Brother Fu Wang, I spent a year in the capital to understand these truths!"
"Are you really unable to understand? Or are you unwilling to understand?"
"It's all the same, it's all the same...hahaha!"
King Qin was scolded by King Fu and laughed sarcastically.
To be honest, someone had told him this truth when he came to Beijing. He had been deliberately pretending not to understand it. He only chose to believe it after the siege.
"Brother Wang, I have another question!"
King Qin stood up and refilled King Fu's cup with hot water, then used the tongs to poke the charcoal in the stove, and continued: "The past dynasties have always kept the land in the hands of the court, but they just don't want the people to be completely full.
Various craftsman registration systems, yellow registration systems, etc. were also formulated to restrict the development of the people.
But what your Majesty is doing now completely goes against the practices of previous dynasties. This..."
"Who has enough to eat and nothing to do to rebel?"
Before King Qin finished speaking, King Fu understood what King Qin wanted to express.
"You have seen the changes in Beijing, do you think they would be willing to unite to rebel?
What the people want is nothing more than food, clothing and some money. If a court can achieve this, why should they rebel?
Will the emergence of a new dynasty after the rebellion still keep them fed and clothed?
Although the common people are uneducated, they are definitely not stupid. They know very well who treats them well!
Besides, do you think His Majesty is unprepared?
With the establishment of the Martial Arts Hall and the reform of the military merit system, all the armies of the Ming Dynasty will be under the control of His Majesty. The Firearms Research Institute will give the Ming Dynasty's army absolute power.
In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies are a joke.
Let’s talk about the fields. I don’t know exactly how many fields the Ming Dynasty had, but after all the fields were given to the people, the taxes paid would definitely be much more than they are now.
The imperial court needs money to have money, food to have food, and a strong army to be able to cope with any changes.
When the country is prosperous and the people are strong, and when the people are prosperous and the country is strong, shouldn't a strong Ming Dynasty make all people proud? Why rebel?
Of course, without an iron-clad dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be destroyed, but that might be hundreds of years later, and that would be enough! "
"Brother Wang, you are so bold!"
After a while, King Qin praised him from the bottom of his heart.
At the same time, he also lamented that Emperor Wanli liked King Fu more than Guangzong, and even started a dispute over the foundation of the country.
In addition to the factor that children are more valuable than mothers, one's own intelligence is also an important aspect.
Emperor Wanli was able to control the Ming Dynasty for more than 40 years without going to court, and he was able to play tricks on his officials. He was definitely a very smart person.
From the final appointment of Zhu Changluo as the prince, we can see that Emperor Wanli was by no means a person who did things based on personal preferences.
After a while, King Qin whispered: "Brother Wang, what will your Majesty do to us vassal kings?"
"I don't know! I really didn't bother you!"
After King Fu finished speaking, he fell into silence. To be honest, in the past year, he had become increasingly unable to understand the emperor's thoughts.
But he was sure that the emperor did not want the Ming Dynasty to have more nobles who were above the common people and officials.
It is unlikely to cut down the vassal directly. There are more than 200,000 people in the clan, plus various servants, etc., which means there are at least more than a million people. They are complicated and deeply involved with the local area, and it is easy for things to happen.
Pushing the favor order is one way, but the feudal king still exists, and it is not impossible to crack.
Moreover, the emperor will definitely have many heirs in the future. Is it possible that he will not be divided into enfeoffments?
The best way is to cut the flesh with a blunt knife, bit by bit, or in other words, wait until the feudal prince's palace has exterminated the heir, eliminate the country's nobility, or even let the feudal prince be 'killed' to exterminate the heir.
But it would take a long time to execute, and the emperor could not wait.
In addition, there is another most effective method, which is to wait for the emperor to push back the foreign enemies, lead a million troops, and directly suppress them with absolute force, leading to prosperity and destruction.
The most effective and most likely, this is the conclusion he came to after analyzing all the emperor's national policies in the past year.
Therefore, after receiving the victory of the siege and killing of Jiannu, he immediately set off for the capital, but he did not dare to tell the King of Qin about this speculation.
"Hey, to be honest, I didn't get used to it at first, but after being locked up for a long time, I got used to it. I have adapted to life in Beijing."
King Qin stood up, lifted up a curtain, and the cold air blew in. He looked at the snow in the courtyard and muttered to himself.
“Every day I wake up naturally and walk around Beijing, drink tea and listen to the opera.
Occasionally, I can tell His Majesty that walking out of the city accompanied by Jin Yiwei is much more free than staying at Prince Qin's Mansion.
I think there is nothing wrong with days like this.
If all the vassal princes come back and live in the Ten Princes' Mansion, it will be even more lively, hahaha..."
