Prince of Chaos

Chapter 186 Do You Want To Be Fang Xiaoru?

"In your opinion, how should I handle the affairs of the clan?"

After Zhu Changluo listened to Zhong Huamin's report, he sat behind the case and looked at Zhong Huamin and asked.

After Zhong Huamin heard Zhu Changluo's question, he hesitated for a moment, and then said with a tangled expression: "I don't know."

After Zhu Changluo heard Zhong Huamin's answer, he sighed: "Forget it, you can go down."

Zhu Changluo was a little disappointed with Zhong Huamin's answer. He thought Zhong Huamin would give him a very pertinent and feasible suggestion, but he didn't expect that Zhong Huamin would hesitate when it came to the clan issue.

Zhong Huamin also heard Zhu Changluo's disappointment, he slightly raised his head to see Zhu Changluo's disappointment towards him, and was shocked in his heart.

Ever since Zhu Changluo was able to personally see him off outside the city when he went to Henan for disaster relief, Zhong Huamin knew that the young Crown Prince was not a good talker.

After the disaster relief, when he was transferred to the clan's mansion as the minister of the experience department, he knew that his ability had been recognized by the crown prince.

However, he still didn't understand why he was transferred to the clan's mansion. This is a neglected Yamen.

Later, when he heard the will of Emperor Wanli appointing Zhu Changluo as the patriarchal decree of the patriarchal mansion, he understood.

It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took a fancy to his talent, so he was transferred to the clan mansion.

It is a great honor to become the first direct minister of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

When Zhong Huamin saw this opportunity, he was naturally unwilling to give up. After all, he also had an ambition to govern the country and the world.

And for him to accomplish such an ideal, the most important thing is to gain the trust and affirmation of the superior.

However, his answer to the first question just now has obviously disappointed his "Bole".

Therefore, Zhong Huamin couldn't help feeling uneasy, and just when Zhu Changluo waved him back, Zhong Huamin gritted his teeth and knelt down.

"The minister has something to say."

Zhu Changluo, who was about to give up, suddenly became interested when he heard Zhong Huamin's firm voice.

Zhu Changluo said: "What does Cheng Zhongfu have to say? But it doesn't matter."

Zhong Huamin took a deep breath, and then said to Zhu Changluo: "I suggest abolishing the enfeoffment!"

Zhu Changluo's face turned cold all of a sudden, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhong Huamin, do you know what you are talking about? Do you want to be punished by the Jiuzu? Do you want to be the second Fang Xiaoru?"

Zhong Huamin knelt on the ground and replied, "I dare not."

Zhu Changluo snorted: "Don't you dare? I think you are very daring. You can say such a rebellious thing. Thanks to you, you said it in the Ciqing Palace. If you leave the Ciqing Palace half a step away, you will There will be no place to die! Do you want Bengong to learn Jianwen?"

Zhong Huamin felt uneasy, but he also heard other meanings from Zhu Changluo's words.Zhu Changluo said, "It's thanks to you that you said it in the Ciqing Palace", and Zhong Huamin immediately became bold.

Zhong Huamin knelt on the ground with his head bowed and said: "Prince, please let me finish my speech. After I finish speaking, you can kill or cut at the prince's discretion."

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Changluo's mouth at this time, and he said in a slightly gentler tone: "Go ahead."

After hearing the prince's softened tone, Zhong Huamin heaved a sigh of relief, he knew that he had made the right bet this time.

Zhong Huamin continued to bury his head and said: "From the founding of the Taizu to the present, there have been thirteen emperors, 220 and 17 years. Except for Jianwen, the Taizu entrusted 500 out of [-] kings, and seven of them were abolished or Suicide, the two kings died out, Chengzu Emperor Jing Nan proclaimed himself emperor. The remaining [-] kings lineage; After posthumous titles, four kings will be extinct, and one king will be abolished; Emperor Xuanzong will entrust one king, and he will be Emperor Jingtai; Emperor Ruizong entrusted one king, which was enfeoffment; Emperor Sejong entrusted six kings. One king ascended the throne as Emperor Muzong, four kings were enshrined, and one king was extinct; Emperor Muzong conferred two kings, and one king was enshrined; today There are currently two sons, one is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the other is His Royal Highness the Third Prince. The third son has not yet been crowned king. There are more than [-] county kings. In the [-]th year of Wanli, His Royal Highness Lu Wang had already consumed most of the national inventory of silver , carrying more than [-] ships to transport goods to Henan Province. The vast land of the Ming Dynasty has almost been emptied by nearly a thousand princes and kings. If things go on like this, the court cannot afford it, and neither can the people. Therefore, I propose to abolish the enfeoffment."

Zhu Changluo listened to Zhong Huamin count down the princes who were entrusted by the emperors of the past dynasties one by one. It can be seen that Zhong Huamin has indeed put in a lot of effort during this period, otherwise, he would not have come here with such detailed data.

Zhu Changluo said, "Get up first."

Zhong Huamin stood up at this time. Zhu Changluo looked at the thin Zhong Huamin, and said, "You know that enfeoffment is the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu, and future generations cannot abolish it. If you suggest abolishing enfeoffment, isn't it because you want to talk to Emperor Taizu? Against the ancestral system?"

Zhong Huamin said: "I am not contradicting the Emperor Taizu. I am saying this for the long-term peace and stability of my Ming Dynasty and the extension of the country. At the time of Taizu, there were only 58 clan relatives in the country. Taizu was struggling to start a business. The former powerful minister The country was in chaos, and later there were powerful generals who brought disaster to the country. The Emperor Taizu had no choice but to implement the policy of enfeoffment in order to preserve the country's sustainability. The people of Li have long returned to the imperial court, so they don’t have to worry about someone trying to do something wrong. If the Emperor Taizu had a spirit in heaven, I think he would agree to abolish the enfeoffment.”

Zhu Changluo said: "Really? Are you so sure what Emperor Taizu means?"

Zhong Huamin didn't expect Zhu Changluo to ask him this question. Zhong Huamin almost didn't know what to do with this question, because it was too difficult to answer.

Zhong Huamin finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I think Emperor Taizu will agree, because Emperor Taizu was oppressed when he was young, and finally rose up as a last resort, obeying the order of heaven and starting the Great Ming Dynasty. Today, the number of suzerains and vassals is huge. It has long been a heavy burden on the court and the people. If this continues, sooner or later there will be more and more clans, and the burden on the court and the people will become heavier and heavier, which will definitely cause immeasurable consequences. Therefore, if I venture to guess what Emperor Taizu wants, he will agree."

Zhu Changluo said: "If Emperor Taizu really thought so? Then what would you do?"

Zhong Huamin knew that now was the time for him to express his determination, Zhong Huamin gritted his teeth and said: "I will die after I do my best."

Zhu Changluo laughed: "It seems that you still want to be Fang Xiaoru."
