Chapter 465 The desire to be emperor does not exist at all

Hauge, as a puppet Qing emperor, of course cannot be negligent in his trial, all the questions that should be asked should be asked, even if everything was expedited, it took more than ten days before and after.

In the end, on October [-]th of the tenth year of Longwu, Hauge was finally cleared of all his crimes, and he wrote many pages of crimes alone.There are also many high-level pseudo-Qing officials who have died and failed to stand trial, and they were also entrained during the period, so a conclusion will be given.

On the day the verdict was pronounced, Hauge was escorted to Lingchi outside Chengtian Gate, and his close relatives who were captured together with him were also Lingchi, but the number of knives was different.

The number of knives Hauge endured was naturally the most since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, much more than the typical traitors before.However, it is still impossible to achieve [-] knives, and the executioner is not so good at craftsmanship.

It is just a symbolic attempt to break a historical record and ensure the most. In fact, the specific numbers are of little significance.

Even Hauge's concubines and concubines were sentenced to be cut in half.To show that Ming Dynasty is a country of civilization and etiquette, and will never do that kind of barbarian behavior of "killing their husbands and taking their wives".

And anyway, Hauge's concubines are all Manchurians. The puppet high-level officials in this era have not yet had the habit of occupying Han women as concubines, and Hauge is a typical rejection of Sinicization.Therefore, this kind of punishment will not hurt the innocent compatriots who are forced to do so.

The only thing Hauge was lucky about before he died was that he could still see his women being cut in half in front of his eyes, watching them die first to ensure that he would not be humiliated.

This made him lessen his deep-rooted hatred for Zhu Shuren, knowing that Zhu Shuren was only with him because of race disputes, not personal enmity, and he didn't bother to humiliate him.

When he was dying, Hauge just felt that it was too ironic, and laughed wildly, like crazy:
"Hehe, I robbed and robbed, and in the end, I only became the emperor for one year, but I robbed the ninth brother Ling Chi. It's really ironic. I knew that I would not be addicted to this one day, so I let the ninth brother be the king of subjugation. Let the nine My brother will be completely ashamed to see the late emperor under the Nine Springs!"

But there is no regret medicine in the world. It can only be said that the opportunity to be an emperor is too attractive, and people with a little less self-control can't resist it.

Even if it is only a year of emperor, even if it only has the territory that actually controls a province, people are betting on Ling Chi after death, which really makes future generations sigh.

……

The execution lasted from October [-]th to the [-]th, three full days, and finally all the heads were sent to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors, and the Ministry of Rites held the ceremony for a few days before it was considered over.

At this point, the grievances between the Ming and Qing Dynasties were finally completely resolved.

Emperor Longwu held a banquet in the Forbidden City to celebrate with all the ministers, and officially rewarded him for meritorious service in civil and military affairs, and sent out countless gold, silver and silk.

When Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he conferred the title of Liugong and 28 marquises, and when Zhu Di usurped the rebellion, he also conferred a bunch of others.

This time, Zhu Changhao must have sealed slightly less than Zhu Yuanzhang. The main reason is that Zhu Shuren also considered that the expansion of Ming Dynasty has not yet completely ended.

The result of the final balance was that a total of four dukes and sixteen marquises were conferred, and a total of 20 people were dukes due to the merits of destroying the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Shuren himself has already been crowned king, and he has no chance or need to be promoted.

Among the four dukes, Cao Bianjiao and Huang Degong are the highest military generals, Cao Bianjiao is the Duke of Dai, and Huang Degong is the Duke of Liao.

These people will be used as important ministers to pacify the border areas in the future, and implement local management policies that are not the same as those in the interior in the newly occupied border areas, but they will not be hereditary, and when their generation dies, they will not set up similar policies in the future. Therefore, there is no need to worry about becoming a feudal town like Jiedushi, it is only a temporary special event.

Although the Ming Dynasty used literature to control martial arts, such generals did not appear in previous years. Li Chengliang's family in Liaodong and Wu Sangui's family in Liaoxi were negative examples.

At present, Zhu Shuren is still much younger than these two generals with the highest military merits. Cao Bianjiao and Huang Degong's life span must be far less than Zhu Shuren's, so they can't make waves.After they passed away, Zhu Shuren could adjust them himself.

Cao Bianjiao will be placed outside the customs of Datong and Zhangjiakou. In the next ten years, he will be fully responsible for the integration of the Chahar, Horqin and Ordos departments, and will supervise border trade and crack down on prohibited traitors.

Huang Degong stayed in Jilin, performing duties similar to those of the Jilin generals of the Qing Dynasty. He used militarized management in the local area to open up wasteland, which is equivalent to organizing the Ming version of "Crossing the Guandong". Population growth pressures after long-term peace in the future.

The farming area of ​​the Northeast Plain is larger than that of North China. As long as the Great Northern Wilderness is reclaimed, the population of the Ming Dynasty will double and there will be no shortage of food.And Huang Degong's ancestral home is a native of Liaodong, so he will not be too far away from his hometown if he is arranged to go to Jilin.

Zhu Shuren also took this into consideration, so he arranged Cao Bianjiao and Huang Degong in the military defense area. Who made Cao Bianjiao from Shanxi and Huang Degong from Liaodong?

Except for Cao Bianjiao and Huang Degong, the two generals with the highest contributions, the other two dukes are naturally reserved for civil servants.

There is no way, the Ming system is there, more or less more civil than military, and the central government is responsible for the central deployment and coordination of resources. The credit is also very important, but it is not as obvious as the front line.

In the end, of course, Shi Kefa, the first assistant of the cabinet, was named Liang Guogong, and Shen Tingyang, the second cabinet assistant, was named Korean Duke.

Anyway, Shen Tingyang also paid so much money, and his son has done so much that he can't be promoted, so it's no problem to give him a prince.

In this way, Zhu Shuren's second son, the concubine born to him by Fang Ziling surnamed Huishen, could also inherit the title of a duke in the future, so he wouldn't have to be a marquis for the rest of his life.

Zhu Shuren's first three sons, one emperor, one king and one prince, will not be too bad for anyone.

After the four princes, among the sixteen marquises, Li Fuming, Zhu Wenzhen and others are all at the top, followed by Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo, etc. There is no need to go into details one by one.

For these marquises, Zhu Shuren also found something for them to do. In the future, they can attack other enemy countries that have frictions around them, especially Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo are still young, and there are many opportunities to make contributions in this life.

Maybe when they are 50 or [-] years old, they will eventually be able to accumulate meritorious service and be promoted to the Duke of the State. This is all a later story.

……

After finalizing the promotion, Zhu Changhao held another private banquet in the inner palace after a few days. This time, he was alone with his son-in-law and daughter to enjoy family happiness. There is no martial arts aspect that needs to be checked and filled.

"I didn't expect my Ming Dynasty to completely quell the internal and external thieves, and open up the northern border until the end of Manchuria. This achievement has surpassed that of the Taizu and Chengzu. When the Ming Dynasty was extremely ill, it was able to reverse the world within 20 years. It is truly ancient. No success.

I am so virtuous and capable, I am ashamed to think about it.Qing takes the world as his duty, regardless of his own fame, although the ancient sages can't match it. "

In the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Changhao had a few drinks with his son-in-law, and he couldn't help feeling emotional.Speaking from his heart, he himself felt that even if his son-in-law usurped the throne, it would be regarded as "a virtuous person lives in it".

Seven out of ten great ancestors who changed dynasties in ancient times were not as great as Zhu Shuren.

Zhu Shuren didn't take it seriously, and signaled Zhu Changhao not to mind.

It seems that in order to completely dispel the other party's inner worries and make the other party realize the root cause of why he could not steal the position from Daming, Zhu Shuren seldom backed away and was about to open the skylight to say something bright.

With his current authority, he is done, and he is qualified to say such things.

"Father, do you think that those who claim to be emperors and founding states since ancient times are all intelligent people? From the perspective of ministers, seven or eight out of ten are just blind obedients who don't even know what they want.

When Zhao Kuangyin released his military power, he once said: being the emperor for a year, it is not as happy as being a Jiedu envoy, because of the position of the emperor, who would not want to try?

I believe that Zhao Kuangyin's words are quite sincere. When he was wearing a yellow robe, he had little reading and knowledge of history, his mind was confused and he didn't want to understand it.

In the time of the remnant Tang and Five Dynasties, there were people who had been rich for decades and generations for Jiedushi.There are more than a dozen families with brocade clothing, jade food, authority and prestige no less than that of the emperor.

As for the power to enjoy pleasure, it is actually not important. It is enough to feed a family with the surplus food and taxes of a government, so why do you need four hundred states to support a family?
The difference between them and the emperor is nothing more than being Jiedushi and the risk of being attacked by others. After all, there is a sharp knife hanging over their heads. If you can't destroy people, you may be destroyed by others.

If this point can be solved well, you don’t have to worry about being attacked and destroyed. For example, the Qian family, the king of Wuyue at that time, had three generations and five kings, and the wealth and honor stretched on. Isn’t it much better than the five generations of emperors?
If Liu Zhiyuan and Guo Wei can serve as Jiedu envoys all their lives, without provoking, keeping a low profile, not fighting for power, and not taking the step of the emperor, maybe they can also be like the three generations and five kings of the Qian family, who lived in a peaceful and independent regime for 80 years in troubled times. One step, in the end, the family was destroyed after only three to five years, ten or eight years of prosperity.

As a Jiedu envoy, he can retreat safely, and his descendants will not be wiped out.And if you want to retire after becoming an emperor, if you are destroyed by force, you will have no descendants.

After the change of dynasty, the new emperor, unless it is a false abdication, can still let the former king who subjugated the country live for a generation or two. If the country is destroyed by force, it must be absolutely meaningless.

In contrast, the descendants of the Qian family, king of Wuyue, survived in a much better situation than the descendants of the Zhao family, because they did not take that step. When Zhao Song survived, they also kept their titles.When Zhao and Song Dynasties, the Qian family did not have to retire with the country like the Zhao family.

So, at that point, unless the emperor himself has too much desire for human rights and wants to kill and rule the world, the advantage of the emperor over the feudal towns is that the emperor does not have to worry about having someone with higher power to deal with you at any time. But there are still some uncertainties hanging over Fanzhen's head.

If someone can eliminate this uncertainty, so that he does not have to be an emperor, nor does he have to worry about being liquidated for himself and his descendants, then what is the difference between being an emperor or not?Even if you don't become the emperor, your descendants can withdraw less bloodily after hundreds of years.

It’s just that [-]% of the founding kings in the world have more than enough martial arts but not enough martial arts. I don’t understand this reason, and finally changed from the master of the imperial power to the slave of the imperial power. The imperial power is only to realize personal ambitions or ensure the safety of the family. A means, not an end in itself.

If you forget to think about what the imperial power can be used for, whether these uses are what you need, and blindly pursue the imperial power itself, then you will lose everything and treat the means as the goal and the tool as the goal. "

Zhu Shuren has received modern education, and his position when looking at problems is much higher than those ancient people who were caught in shackles.

At least the ancient emperors must have never read Max Weber's "Protestant Ethics and the Spirit of Capital Attention", and it is impossible to hear Max Weber's sentence "People need to pursue value rationality and instrumental rationality, but instrumental rationality should only be a means to realize value rationality." .

It's like making money is to use money to achieve some things that you can't do when you don't have money, not to make money itself. Money is just the most universal tool.

Power is the same, but it is not as universal as money, and it is not so easy to exchange, but it also attracts more insecure people to "preventive hoarding" of power.

In contrast, money is easier to exchange and circulate than power, so as long as people have the ability to ensure that they can get money quickly, they don't care so much about hoarding money all the time.

Many people with official-oriented thinking think about hoarding power that is not easily exchanged in a hurry, and when they need power, they can directly use it.And when you need money, you can use the power of hoarding to quickly exchange the money for use.

A person who regards a tool as a purpose can be called a tool person.

Zhao Kuangyin is nothing but the emperor's tool man.Of course, he is considered a relatively high rank among the emperor's tools, after all, he has a lot less options.

And Cao Pi, Zhu Wen, and those tool people who are in the process of opening Pandora's box are the best among tool people.

Zhu Changhao was in a trance for a while, he had never thought about these questions, never thought that this kind of question could have such an angle.Just because he was cowardly and indisputable, he naturally managed to live in peace with his son-in-law for more than ten years, but he never thought about the issue of theoretical height.

Now that his son-in-law spoke so bluntly, he was a little confused, and suddenly felt that he could completely discuss this topic.

Zhu Changhao thought for a while: "However, apart from the Wuyue Qian family from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, are there any other examples that don't need to ascend to the throne and don't have to worry about the liquidation of descendants? If a thousand-year-old family is destroyed, it may not be subject to a century-old family." Son of Heaven."

Zhu Shuren smiled: "Father also said that there are thousand-year-old families, while the emperor can only last for 400 years. In comparison, it is enough. Moreover, it is not impossible for the emperor to eradicate the thousand-year-old family and the change of dynasty.

It is also possible to achieve the level of Confucius and Yan Sheng Gong Yan for 2000 years.This means that he has riches, honor and fame, and at the same time has a longer life than the emperor, except that he has less power to kill others than the emperor.

And if a person does not want to kill people and enjoys the pleasure of disposing of others' life and death, then depending on other conditions, being Confucius is more satisfying than being the founding emperor. "

Zhu Changhao: "Qing is sure that in his lifetime, his achievements and posthumous name will reach Confucius?"

Zhu Shuren: "I'm not sure, but isn't Yu'er already stable, so it doesn't matter if he is a little bit closer to Confucius. Besides, I can open up another track, be virtuous to the world, and be blessed by the common people. It is not necessary to be with Confucius." Comparing on a track."

Zhu Changhao couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "Qing's vision is too long to continue."

Zhu Shuren: "Besides, has Father ever thought about it? Taking a step back, if Daming is replaced by a Han ruler, will he be able to last for a long time?
Before the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, if someone replaced Ming, it would be difficult for him to last long.If Da Ming was destroyed by the Qing, and someone would avenge Da Ming, then there is still some hope.There are some things that happen once and countless times, like a virgin remarries, if her husband dies again, can she not continue to remarry?
Chenzhi's reading of history divides the world since Qin into three categories, namely foreign conquest, resistance and internal usurpation.

For example, the Qin, Sui and Yuan Dynasties had three foreign conquests and national integration.Corresponding to the newborn of the Han nationality, the integration of Wuhu, and the integration of Liao, Jin and Mongolia.The emperor came to power with the posture of a conqueror, and the methods of rule were often arbitrary, and the dynasty was short-lived.

But the posture of conquerors is also good, that is, they don't need to care about the lessons of the conquered's previous failures in internal struggles, so they don't worry about the usurpation by warriors, and they don't need to spend a lot of resources on guarding against their own people, so they have abundant martial arts.

When the Han, Tang and Ming Dynasties followed the Qin, Sui and Yuan Dynasties, they all resisted the abuse of the people and reunited with the superiors. Although they did not have the power to expand the territory at the beginning, they raised the status of the main ethnic group after all, which can be regarded as virtuous to the world.

In addition, the ruler absorbed the lessons of the previous martial arts but short-lived dynasty to appease the people, and he lived much longer.The ruler has self-confidence, and his martial arts ethics are not bad.

And after the decline of the Han and Tang Dynasties, those small dynasties before the next national integration all usurped the upper hand internally.These founding emperors had neither the virtue of conquering the outside world nor the virtue of promoting the status of the main nation internally. What they had was only the promotion of the interests of the family.

As soon as this hole was opened, careerists in the world were ready to move.Since Wei Liang usurped Han and Tang, why couldn't Jin usurp them?The monk can't touch me?
Then there are endless iterations of usurpation, Wei Jin Song Qi Liang Chen, Liang Tang Jin Han Zhou Song.In the end, most of his energy was spent on preventing his own people from usurping the throne, abolishing his martial arts, and was eventually destroyed by foreign enemies, and everything was reset and recycled.

Therefore, Qin, Sui, and Yuan were the trial and run-in before the Han, Tang, and Ming Dynasties, and Wei, Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, and Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, Zhou, and Song were the remnants of the usurped Han and Tang Dynasties.

After the demise of the Han and Tang Dynasties, isn't the lesson of civil strife and division of the world going from bad to worse for hundreds of years, and the weakening of martial arts morality not bad enough?Now that I am finally standing on the cusp of my third major cycle in China, I will not be my own gravedigger.

I really can't understand, the father can imagine the world as a woman, and the founding monarch as a man.Qin Suiyuan was the first person who met Tianxia who wanted to conquer her after she was reincarnated three times, but they used force, Tianxia directly rebelled and killed them.

When Han, Tang and Ming saw the cause of Qin Suiyuan's death, they first fell in love with the world, and slowly went through the process of three matchmakers and six hires.But after hundreds of years, conflicts gradually accumulated. In the Han and Tang Dynasties, domestic violence and the inability to support their wives and children eventually caused the wives and children to bear it, and joined hands with outsiders to kill them.

Wei, Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, and Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, Zhou and Song had two, three, four, five, six, seven marriages after each reincarnation. Because they did not rely on external conquest but internal usurpation to gain power, they were regarded as taking over.

The more ex-husbands there are in the world, the more afraid they are, because they know that the loyalty of the second, third and fourth marriages is definitely not as good as that of the first marriage, and the further they go, the less stable they will be.In the end, the chain of suspicion piled up and internal friction intensified. The ruler and the world were wiped out by foreign enemies, and the national integration was reborn, and then the cycle began with violence and first marriage.

The minister will not change Huaxia's new physical body from his first marriage to his second marriage after his third reincarnation.What else is there to worry about, father? "
