Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 89 is broken! Coming for me!
  King Qin, King Jin, King Yan and others all left their seats and knelt down on the ground... "I don't dare!"

Prince Zhu Biao also fully understood his father's intention at this moment.

this moment.

The purpose of this sutra feast has been revealed.

His Majesty clearly told everyone that even if he, like the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, ennobles his descendants surnamed Liu as kings, as long as Emperor Jing who lives in Kyoto does not force him!
  Then the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms would not happen!
  It looks like there was civil strife in the Han Dynasty!
  In fact, it was Emperor Jing himself who did it!
  He was also warning Zhu Biao, how should you be the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future - don't cut down the vassal vassal!
  And he also used this to tell the officials - don't take Chao Cuo!
  At this moment, all the ministers looked at Hu Xiang one after another, thinking of their previous guesses, it turned out that this was indeed the case!
  It is your Majesty who wants to use Deng Yu's great victory to distribute financial power to the nobles and military power to the vassal king!

The descendants of the surname Zhu will divide the world among themselves!
  The atmosphere was calm, but there were ripples in everyone's minds.

"His Majesty!"

Sudden.

Su Xian's heart skipped a beat when the voice came from beside him.

But it was Fang Xiaoru!
  "I have a different opinion."

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have encountered such a voice a long time ago. He spoke directly in a deep voice.

"If you have any different opinions, just say that today is the Sutra Feast anyway."

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty entrusted the king with the surname Liu. When he was alive, he did not have any heirs who dared to rebel. However, after his death, there was the rebellion of Empress Lu first. After that, Emperor Wen inherited the throne. King Liu Xing of Jibei took advantage of the opportunity to attack the Xiongnu in the north. Still rebelling!"

"In this matter, can we still blame Emperor Jing for reducing the vassal status?"

Since it is a metaphor for the present, Fang Xiaoru's words are so sharp that people can't even imagine it.

At least at this moment, Baiguan's eyelids began to beat wildly after he directly said "Han Gaozu passed away", and he felt a panic, and he could almost see his heart beating out.

really!

Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly turned ugly.

But Fang Xiaoru seemed unaware and just said loudly: "The kings do have flesh and blood ties. When the emperor was alive, they were brothers, friends and brothers. But once the emperor passes away, how much brotherly affection will be left?"

"Corrupt Confucianism! How dare you mess with my brotherhood?" King Qin Zhu Zhen scolded angrily!

But Fang Xiaoru was not afraid, and the peaceful scene just now was completely broken and turned into chaos.

"King Qin, this is the place where the banquet is held, and the discussion is about the kings of the Han Dynasty. How dare I disturb the friendship between you and the kings?"

"You..." Zhu Ming was so angry that he couldn't speak.

But Fang Xiaoru took a step forward and said again: "Your Majesty, according to the history books, the relationship between father and son in the Tang Dynasty is still so weak in front of the throne."

"Isn't the Xuanwu Gate incident alarming enough?"

"The so-called friendship may be impregnable within one generation. But what about two or even three generations later? At the time of Emperor Wen, the kings of the Han Dynasty were already ready to raise armies."

"Strong soldiers and horses, strong ambitions!"

"With a sharp blade in hand, murderous intent arises!"

"Both of these...are the same truth!"

Fang Xiaoru paused for a moment, then said again:
  "When we get to Emperor Jing, it's not that Emperor Jing wants to cut down the vassal first, but that the situation has reached a point where we have to do something. There are Huns outside, and there are hidden worries inside. If Chao Cuo doesn't assist Emperor Jing in cutting down the vassal, will he have to wait until the kings become powerful and the Han Dynasty When you are bullied..."

"Really then? Will the Han royal family, Emperor Jing and Chao Cuo still exist?"

"What's more, Wu Chu and other countries rebelled in the name of "clearing the emperor's side". Emperor Jing has already taken a step back and killed Chao Cuo. Logically speaking, they have fulfilled their goal of "clearing the emperor's side".

"But why did Wu Chu keep pressing forward step by step? In the end, only when the swords and swords met did Emperor Jing finally win a narrow victory?"

"You..." Zhu Yuanzhang obviously did not expect that this person would dare to give him no face at all.

But as he said.

This is a sutra feast, no matter what you say, you can’t be blamed.

What's more, they are talking about ancient times.

"it is good!"

"Then tell us why the Great Zhou Dynasty divided the world and the princes defended the emperor, so they could have a state of Zuo for eight hundred years?"

"But why did later dynasties cut down their feudal vassals as you said, but it took less than two or three hundred years at most?"

"why is that?"

Fang Xiaoru bowed and said: "There were also civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

"During the Warring States Period, countries conquered each other, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops died during the war? Hundreds of years of endless war, isn't it enough?"

"Your Majesty, please think about it. The scene at the end of the Yuan Dynasty has been so chaotic in just a few decades, and people's livelihood has been ruined! What if this scene lasts for hundreds of years?"

"What's more, from the perspective of future generations like us, if the Qin Dynasty had not unified the world, unified weights, measures, and coins, then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would have unified thought and deposed hundreds of schools!"

"Does Ming Dynasty still exist today?"

Fang Xiaoru was speaking with sincerity, "Why did so many sages and emperors march forward, open up the situation in the fog, and illuminate the way forward, so that today is possible."

"Your Majesty is reviving the Han Dynasty. He should have inherited the ambition of the previous dynasty and moved forward courageously. Why do you have to look back?"

"You..." Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously a little angry.

"This is a sutra feast! We are also talking about a big man, who wants to look back?"

"You stubborn thing, of course we have our own plans."

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table angrily and got up.

"Let me ask you again, the reason for the turmoil in the last years of the dynasty was that at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, a relative, interfered in politics!"

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was able to coerce the emperor and command the princes!"

"Who gave them such courage? If the kings were still there and held military power, would they dare?"

Fortunately, Fang Xiaoru knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, if the kings hold military power, I'm afraid they won't be able to wait until that time."

"You are young and you are not strong enough?" Zhu Yuanzhang almost yelled through gritted teeth.

Then he didn't want to talk to the other party anymore.

Look directly at Zhu Biao.

"Anyway, please remember, Biao'er, this chaos in the Seven Kingdoms is the fault of Emperor Jing!"

"As a monarch, you must be tolerant to your blood relatives."

"Similarly, we also think that the blood flowing in the Liu family and the blood flowing in the Li family are different from us."

"Our descendants of the old Zhu family will never cause chaos in the previous dynasty!"

"What's more, we have our own concerns and will also impose restrictions on the lord."

this moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry with Fang Xiaoru and pointed out his purpose directly.

Zhu Biao sighed helplessly, and then he could only nod in agreement.

In this matter, my father could not be persuaded no matter what.

Fang Xiaoru obviously also discovered this. What needs to be said has been said. As for Your Majesty, there is nothing you can do...

Is there really nothing we can do?
  While thinking about it.

Fang Xiaoru didn't know why, but turned to look at Su Xian.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the events of the previous two times.

The first time, a blank print case!
  At that time, the whole country started first, thinking that His Majesty's thunder was louder than the raindrops.

But what happened next was His Majesty's iron will.

However, after a strange memorial and another interrogation on the city wall, everything changed. Even his father Fang Keqin was saved by him.

The second time, treasure money!
  It has been two years since the Baochao Promotion Department was established. In Zhongshu Province, officials from the six ministries could not interfere with its operation at all. And annual printing is even more common.

In the end, it was changed again.

Even this time, the fundamental reason why His Majesty holds this sutra feast is for this reason.

The emergence of banks in the capital was originally a joke in the palace, but now it really blossomed in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not until Deng Yu and Mu Ying returned to the capital.

Ningxia, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places are also preparing...

Who could have thought of this before April this year?
  "Does anyone among you have other opinions about the chaos in the Seven Kingdoms?"

now.

After taking a breath, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the courtiers below.

Fang Xiaoru's personality has already been fixed at a young age and cannot be changed, and he doesn't want to change it.

Among all officials, there are always those who conform to oneself.

"Your Majesty, in fact, it is natural for Gaozu to enfeoff various kings."

At this moment, one of the three old men stood up in front of the audience.

Su Xian just heard Xu Yingxu say that he seemed to be the "three wise ministers" that His Majesty once said?
  "Oh? Mr. Liu, do you have any opinion?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved. After all, these ministers understand us.

Liu Sanwu's tone was gentle, and compared to Fang Xiaoru, his opening remarks were very popular with Zhu Yuanzhang, "Actually, the veteran believes that the direct cause of the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms was not Emperor Jing, nor the Seven Kingdoms..."

"Huh? This is novel. This is the first time we have heard this. Please tell me."

Liu Sanwu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, "If we really want to discuss it, we have to discuss it with Gaozu himself."

Suddenly!

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still smiling, his face suddenly darkened!
  You might as well not say it!

Gaozu himself? Are you blaming us?
  However, Jingyan is Jingyan, and Zhu Yuanzhang has his own magnanimity. Just now, Fang Xiaoru was so bold that he could say it casually even after the death of Emperor Gaozu, and he didn't care.

What does this mean?
  "Mr. Liu, please speak."

"If Emperor Gaozu divided the world, he would only be given a name but not military power."

"Even if the descendants of the Liu family enjoy wealth and honor, why can't they share the country with the royal family? I have a sharp knife and a murderous intention. I agree with this."

"Sir, you are wrong!" Zhu Yuanzhang said without changing his expression.

Liu Sanwu just said: "Perhaps it is really Gaozu's fault! If he is not given power, there will be no blood and flesh killing. Presumably the soul of Han Gaozu in heaven also regrets this matter very much."

"Haha...Didn't the Seven Kingdoms resist the Huns at the very beginning?"

"Of course they resisted." Liu Sanwu said: "That's why we have the opportunity to gain power and support ourselves."

"Presumptuous! Could it be that if Gaozu allowed others to take control of the military power, he would not support his troops and respect themselves?"

this moment.

Liu Sanwu said nothing.

On the contrary, next to him, another figure of the three old wise ministers was slightly younger. Unlike Liu Sanwu, he looked like a kind and wealthy man.

He is thin and elegant, and the charm of his youth can be vaguely seen.

It was Zhu Shan.

"Yes!" He said with certainty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression slowly softened.

"But if we can follow the example of the former Song Dynasty and set up a Privy Council, we will only deploy troops and generals during wartime to control military affairs with civility..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet!

With a "bang", Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed. His tone was still gentle, without the urgency and anxiety before, "So this is what you meant?"

"Imitate the former Song Dynasty? So the military preparations are depleted, the generals don't know the soldiers, and the soldiers don't know the generals?"

"So when there is a war, civilian officials are dispatched to supervise the military attachés, and the laymen give guidance to the experts?"

"So on weekdays in the court, the civil servants are aloof and shouting that fighting for the country is not a hero, but the Donghua Gate roll call is a hero?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was smiling.

But everyone can clearly hear the coldness behind his voice.

Zhu Shan's expression remained as usual, and he just continued: "The former Song Dynasty was too ineffective in military preparation. Isn't that how things are in the world? Only by learning from the experience of the predecessors can we improve step by step. I, the Ming Dynasty, have changed it!"

"Mr. Zhu, we are now learning from the experience of the previous Song Dynasty!" Zhu Yuanzhang said indifferently.

He looked at the ministers again.

"If there is no answer that satisfies us, then today's sutra feast should end here!"

"It just so happens that Baiguan is close now."

"We won't use the past to describe the present anymore, let's talk about recent events!"

"Tell us about our ancestral precepts, and talk about the recent Qianzhuang! Let's talk about the rewards Deng Yu and others will receive after they return to Beijing! In addition, King Qin and King Jin will be vassals next year... I will also take the opportunity of this banquet to discuss the present day. State affairs!”

Having said this.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is also telling his ministers, let's stop pretending and let's show our cards.

We are just using the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms to talk about what we are going to do now.

And look at what he looked like just now.

Bai Guan retorted, he could say ten words, but he couldn't persuade him at all!

But at this moment.

Fang Xiaoru, however, was thinking about what was in her heart and was about to take a step forward and call her by name.

suddenly!

"His Majesty!"

The direction of the imperial censor.

Shi Tujie, the imperial censor, suddenly took a step forward.

Looking at him, even Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, "What? Several great scholars from the dynasty, including the three wise ministers we once persuaded, are here."

"Do you have any other insights?"

Tu Jie hurriedly said: "I am not a minister."

Ok?
  At this time, the two high-ranking prime ministers finally opened their eyes.

The plan of the past few months is finally showing its flaws at this moment.

But Tu Jie took a step forward.

He smiled and said, "Today's events, for some reason, make me feel familiar."

"Once in the court, a case was printed in vain. Most of the ministers gave memorials, all talking about their grievances. There was only one memorial, which made the ministers feel bold, but also unique."

"After learning the truth, His Majesty sighed that his innocent heart and innocent words were refreshing. Afterwards, His Majesty even praised him as a Qilinzi!"

"I wonder if this Qilinzi can also express his opinion?"

The words fell.

The ministers seemed to remember something and quickly looked in one direction.

Even Fang Xiaoru was stunned at first, then thought of something and looked to the side with a complex expression.

But at this moment.

Su Xian looked at the eyes of everyone looking at him.

He stayed where he was, but he was stunned.

What?

Are we just here to experience the atmosphere?

What is this for? Someone wants to harm me?

Su Xian looked at Tu Jie, is this someone using himself as a swordsman to make himself agree with you?

"Oh?"

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have thought of something and looked towards Su Xian.

He seemed interested too.

"Su Xian, we almost forgot that you also played a role in the bank matter. Why don't you just tell me your opinion..."

"Of course, with a pure heart, you can speak boldly. Anyway, the atmosphere of the sutra feast just now was made serious by them."

Tu Jie also said quickly: "That's right. This Qilin'er is also a student of the main hall. Regardless of his age, he will have to take the exam at this sutra banquet. This is a normal thing."

Su Xian stood up slowly, and in a flash, he already knew their plan.

Seriously, not being annoyed would be a lie.

At this moment, even if it is a rebellious mentality...

I'm taking the exam, right?
  Fortunately, Su Xian blurted out.

"I agree with His Majesty!"

what?
  Mentioning the Tu knot, I suddenly looked at it at this moment.

The two prime ministers, Hu Weiyong, had a big accident, and Wang Guangyang was no longer confused and opened his eyes wide.

Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi and other princes also focused on Su Xian. To be honest, those who were used to hearing rebuttals were a little uncomfortable when they suddenly heard someone agree with their father's views!

Zhu Yuanzhang was even more delighted and almost shouted in his heart:
  Good boy...

There are still people in this world who understand us!
