Chapter 328
"I am only a great treasure. I admire the fate of the king, and strive to cure Yi Xia. The nine uniforms are in the same track, and the six are one family. When the sun and the moon are approaching, there is no reason to be dissatisfied. How can Iraqi manpower be bestowed by nature. Jiangli city, You can be close to the virtuous, and share the benefits with your husband and wife. You don’t have to rely solely on the previous codes when you live the past, but allow the present to make reference to the past, and the long-term succession. The succession of the family is enough to carry virtue;

Naturally, the state is always honored, and the people are blessed.The royal family, as well as ministers of meritorious deeds, who can be called virtuous and have outstanding loyalty, should be ordered to be the vassal department and declare the herdsmen.Yijue's descendants, heirs to keep their government, no major reason, no or dismissed.It is still advisable to have a difference in remuneration for diligence and performance, and it is advisable to order the department to clearly state the level of regulations and to have a report. "

Li Shimin's letter "Ordering the Imperial Clan and Honorables to Be the Prosecutors and Herdsmen" was written by Cen Wenwen in one stroke, and then issued to Menxia Province in accordance with the court regulations.

All imperial edicts of the Tang Dynasty are sent to the court, there is a set of regulations, written by Zhongshu Province, and then stamped with the emperor's seal, handed over to Menxia Province, and verified by Menxia Minister, if it is correct, then it can be stamped The official seal is handed over to Shangshu Province to act according to the order.

In other words, the province under the sect has the right to review edicts and even refute imperial decrees, especially since Wei Zheng entered the master's sect.

Wei Zheng is honest and strong. Ever since Wang Gui served as an official under his sect in the sixth year of Zhenguan, it has become commonplace to refute Li Shimin's imperial decree.

The idea of ​​enfeoffment was not in line with the current situation, and Wei Zheng was the most vocal in opposition. If Wei Zheng were in Beijing at this time, there is no doubt that Wei Zheng would not take Li Shimin's face too seriously, and directly refute this seal memorial.

But right now Wei Zheng is patrolling Huaibei according to the imperial decree, and he is not in the capital, so naturally he has no way to refute the imperial decree, so the burden falls on others.

The head of the sect is the servant, and there are always two servants in the province, one is Wei Zheng, the second is Gao Shilian, the inspector and the second is Gao Shilian. The man became Gao Shilian.

Gao Shilian is the eldest grandson Wuji's uncle, and he has a stake in the eldest grandson's family, as well as Li Chengqian's crown prince. Gao Shilian also hopes that Li Ke will be entrusted with Yangzhou and Huainan forever, so that he will not be able to return to Beijing easily. The prince's position is as stable as Mount Tai.

However, although Li Chengqian's crown prince position is important, Li Shimin's edict is also as important as Mount Tai, and it even directly affects the stability of the country.

When Li Shimin's edict was sent to Gao Shilian, Gao Shilian couldn't help but frowned, and suddenly found himself in trouble. He held the big seal of the province in his hand, and the seal was not accurate, and it was not accurate.

If he approves it, then the edict will be issued to Shangshu Province, and the world will be divided. If there is chaos in the future, he will not be able to review it, but if he refute it, then what is Li Ke's vassal of Yangzhou?Court affairs are no joke, if he refutes this imperial edict, he will be slapped in the face in front of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Gao Shilian did not have the courage and determination of Wei Zheng, and the only way he chose at this time was to seek stability.

Gao Shilian thought for a long time, and finally took a step back, and asked the chief officials of the three provinces, six ministries, Zongzheng Temple and Yushitai to come to the lower provinces to discuss matters.

--------------

Under the door, the government office.

When the important officials of the Manchu Dynasty learned about this matter from Gao Shilian, the audience was in an uproar.

"No, this is absolutely impossible. How can it be done if it hurts the people and harms the country." As soon as Gao Shilian's words fell, many impatient ministers shouted out in the main hall.

Since the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the world has abolished enfeoffment, and many counties and counties have been established. It has been more than two hundred years since Li Shimin mentioned this matter again and issued an edict to his family. How could they not be surprised.

Since the beginning of the theory of monarchs and ministers, the struggle between monarch power and minister power has never stopped, but in the end it has become a situation where the monarch and ministers rule the world together.

If the system of prefectures and counties is practiced, the officials of the local counties and counties are all courtiers, and they are governing the country for civil servants, but if the system is divided, then the local prefectures and counties are respected by the prince, and the clan governs the country, which is a world of difference.

What's more, if the vassal kings are divided into various places, the vassal kings will be in charge of the military and government, and most of the feudal kings who are enfeoffed are of good and bad conduct, and chaos will inevitably occur.

Moreover, even if all the vassal kings are all virtuous and capable, but under the vassal kings there are county kings, and under the county kings there are state dukes. If the enfeoffments continue like this, it will be a fortune for the court to support these vassal kings' families every year. Huge expenses, if things go on like this, the imperial court will definitely run out of money.

The detriment of enfeoffment outweighs the benefits, everyone in the court knows it, but when everyone was arguing in the hall, one person fell silent all of a sudden, this person is Sikong Changsun Wuji.

Li Ke's outer town can stabilize Li Chengqian's position as the prince, which is certainly what Changsun Wuji wishes, but if the matter of enfeoffing vassal kings happens because of this, it is even more not what Changsun Wuji wants to see. Is caught in a dilemma.

Changsun Wuji even thought about another possibility, which is to distribute the enfeoffment first, and then abolish it when Li Chengqian ascends the throne in the future and he decides to rule the government.

However, it is easy to confiscate a feudal clan, but it is difficult to cut them down. How could Changsun Wuji not know such a truth? If the disturbance is not good, and there is a chaos of seven kings, then his eldest grandsun Wuji is a sinner of Datang.

But although Changsun Wuji was silent, it was Changsun Wuji and Empress Changsun who made Li Ke the outer town of Yangzhou at the beginning, and the current situation could not allow Changsun Wuji to simply prevaricate.

In front of all the ministers, Wen Yanbo, the official censor, asked Changsun Wuji: "The matter of the Zhun Chu king conferring Yangzhou and the township of Huainan was a mistake. At the beginning, Changsun Sikong praised it all the time. , but I don’t know what good strategy Eldest Sun Sikong has right now?”

Others are afraid of the eldest grandson Wuji's power, and may give up three points, but Wen Yanbo is not afraid of him. In terms of family background, the Wen family in Hebei is a famous family in Yanzhao, not under the eldest grandson's family. In terms of seniority, Wen Yanbo and the emperor Li Yuan and eldest grandson Wuji His father, the eldest grandson Sheng, taught teachings in the same generation, and he can also be regarded as the elder of the elder grandson Wuji.

Wen Yanbo has an upright personality. He was trapped in the Turks and survived for two years in the bitter cold of the Yin Mountains. How could such a person be afraid of the so-called power.

Changsun Wuji was brought up by Wen Yanbo in front of everyone, how could he keep silent.

Changsun Wuji said: "What Doctor Wen said is very true that I have misconsidered this matter. I originally thought that the King of Chu would control Yangzhou to stabilize the place, but I didn't expect that His Majesty would use this to promote enfeoffment."

Even if Changsun Wuji wanted to help Li Chengqian stabilize the throne, he was also a civil servant, and he would never be on the wrong team at this time.

Both Wen Yanbo and Changsun Wuji are important ministers in the court, and it is useless for them to compete with each other. At this time, Fang Xuanling, the head of all the prime ministers, stood up as the Minister Zuo Servant. Fang Xuanling said: "This matter Competing is useless, the most urgent task right now is to report to His Majesty, please take it back."

At this time, Changsun Wuji was already unable to get off the horse, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Xuanling said that the most important thing now is to refute this edict, and then I will report this matter to the court tomorrow. , Your Majesty, please cancel the enfeoffment."
