I became a mysterious person in textbooks after being pushed by the emperors

Chapter 103 The greatest conspiracy of all time
In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty relieved the power of the vassal states with his favor order.

The Tweeting Order is also known as the first conspiracy of all time.

The inexplicable thing about the Tuen Order is that it cleverly diverts conflicts and takes advantage of people's greed, so that the descendants of princes and kings continue to fall into the division of family property.

What is even more ingenious is that the feudal system inherited by princes, kings and concubines falls within the system of prefectures and counties.

In the past, the vassal states operated independently and were under the jurisdiction of the central government in name, but in fact they had a high degree of autonomy; now, after inheriting the land, the bastards of the vassal states have become princes at the county level; and the counties and counties are under the direct control of the central government. Undoubtedly, it weakened the power of the feudal king in disguise and strengthened the central government.

Zhu Youjian's policy at this moment is almost the same.

Zhu Yuanzhang restored the feudal system at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, hoping that a hundred years later, the vassal kings from the side branches could become the emperor's barrier and jointly protect the Ming Dynasty for generations to come.However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty more than 200 years later, the number of vassal kings had reached tens of thousands, and because the vassal kings after Zhu Di "do not lead the army, do not conduct imperial examinations, and do not do business," some vassal kings without ambition became captives. Pigs, drinking and having fun in the palace all day long, became a heavy burden on the central government's finances.

However, not all the Ming Dynasty vassals were "pigs" who only knew how to eat, drink, and play with women. Many Ming Dynasty vassals emerged during the wave of resistance against the Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty. They led the vigorous anti-Qing movement. Many of the feudal lords sacrificed their lives for this.

With Zhu Youjian's imperial edict, these vassal kings will have more possibilities.

No longer need to be trapped in the local area as before.

At the same time, those vassal kings have been "deposed" into pigs.

Their descendants will not all be trash as well.

Even if they are trash, do they want a larger feudal country? They are also said to be lonely and ignorant.

They had no chance before. Under the system established by Lao Zhu, the eldest son of the county prince was granted the title of prince, and the eldest grandson of the county prince was granted the title of grandson of the county prince. They were both regarded as second rank.The succession is the same as that of a prince. If the prince dies, his eldest son will inherit the prince. If the prince dies, his eldest son will inherit the prince. If the prince dies, his eldest grandson will inherit the prince.Except for the eldest son of the county prince, all the other princes were granted the title of general of the country, and were paid thousands of stones a year, one after another.

To summarize, the crown prince will succeed the vassal king, and the other sons will be canonized to lower-level titles according to the rules.

This result has not changed in 200 years. Everyone was used to it, but this time Zhu Youjian gave everyone a chance.

As long as they are willing to work hard, they may achieve the same despair as their elder brother and their father.

All it requires is a little money.

How to choose needless to say.

In the past, under the feudal system, there were countless people who knew how to cheat, and now they will do the same this time.

From ancient times to the present, few people can stop the pillow wind.

Those princes and kings in the past could not hold back even their own territory, let alone just some money.

At this moment, the entire world, countless palaces, and countless vassals began to become restless.

Fu Wangfu.

"Mom, would you like to go and talk to your father?"

Zhu Youju spoke and acted coquettishly towards his mother.

"Yes, mother, please tell your father that from now on, this lucky king will only belong to your eldest brother and has nothing to do with us. Father only needs to give us 500 million taels each."

Zhu Youhua also spoke the same way.

"Yes, mother, your majesty has already said that as long as each person pays a tribute of 300 million taels, your majesty is willing to ennoble us with places as big and small as the south of the Yangtze River in Nanyang and make us kings."

"You don't want to have to act based on your eldest brother's face in the future."

Zhu Youju spoke again.

The words spoken by the two of them made the woman's heart flutter.

There are rules for the succession of vassal kings, and the woman naturally knows that her two sons are unlikely to inherit the title of Prince Fu.

Although he can still be granted the title of second level, there is no such thing as the blessed king Qinggui.

"Is it really that good overseas?" the woman said with hesitation.

"Of course, mother, haven't you heard from people outside? There is gold and silver everywhere overseas, and the people there are not evil. As long as you bring some elites from the royal palace, you can defeat them."

"Yes, yes, my good friend is from the southeast. He told me that Nanyang is rich in gold, silver, and spices, which are all priceless."

Zhu Youhua and Zhu Youju's words made the woman unable to hold back any longer, and finally headed towards King Fu's location.

The next time is undoubtedly the time for women to play their role.

Finally a month later.

King Fu Zhu Changxun was willing to hand over 200 million taels to his two sons, and at the same time pay tribute of 600 million taels to the emperor to obtain the enfeoffment of the world for his two second sons.

As for why gold and silver.

At this time, it is naturally the credit of Jin Yiwei.

Zhu Youjian did not directly order how much money was needed to qualify for the title of king.

However, in fact, how much was needed was directly disclosed to each vassal king through Jin Yiwei's mouth.

Although such a situation will inevitably lead to massive corruption.

After all, only Zhu Youjian knows how much it is.

It is impossible for these vassal kings to ask Zhu Youjian.

It is impossible to bargain with Zhu Youjian.

In this way, it is undoubtedly Jin Yiwei who has the final say.

Jin Yiwei can definitely quote a higher price than Zhu Youjian.

As long as the feudal king can accept it, then these problems will not be a problem.

But for Zhu Youjian, this is already the best result.

After all, if it were measured directly by price, and with the current mainstream of scholar-bureaucrats, he would be directly sprayed to death without having to think too much.

Such behavior can not only increase the security by [-]%, but also avoid a lot of trouble.

As for the issue of corruption.

After asking Jiang Chen for advice, Zhu Youjian knew one thing.

Corruption is not a big problem. As long as we can achieve our goals and get things done, some corruption can be tolerated.

Otherwise, with the execution capabilities of his era, if he does not ignore these, he may not be able to accomplish anything.

Although he was still a little uncomfortable, Zhu Youjian was already letting himself adapt.

He had no choice but to face the crisis of national subjugation. Even if he didn't want to change many things, he had to change them.

Even Zhu Youjian probably did not expect the effects of this change in share.

Historically, even if Zhu Youjian had no money, he thought about asking ministers to donate money, and thought about getting it from the court, but he never thought about getting it from the hands of the vassal king.

Of course, he might have thought about it, but without a prophet, he didn't know how to do it.

But at this moment, Jiang Chen gave him this opportunity.
