Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 134: The south of the Five Ridges is Zhu Xi’s territory
Six deadly sins.

Zhu Xi has refuted three of them.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang erased two more.

That leaves the last one.

Abuse of royal power!

This crime is actually very broad.

First, what is abuse?

These two words are very broad in themselves.

In fact, there are no specific regulations on royal power.

Zhu Yuanzhang has a strong desire to control, but he cannot be so strong that he has clear rules for what none of his sons will do in the future.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang should not be called Zhu Yuanzhang, he should be called Zhou Gongdan.

So, what could the princes of the Ming Dynasty do and what could they not do?

It would be troublesome to really summarize it.

For example, Prince Jin, who is also a prince, is also relatively unreliable.

However, King Zhu Di of Yan was determined to become a model of a wise king. After entering the vassal state, it was said that he was on the alert and strict with himself.

Then there is Zhu Peng, the King of Qin.

Look at what Zhu Xi did after arriving in Lingnan. In addition to developing the place, he did not give up enjoyment.

However, Hu Weiyong's main impeachment of Zhu Ping for abusing royal power was based on the official system.

Hu Weiyong said loudly: "I impeached the King of Qin to the emperor. After he took office, he first appointed nepotism and excluded dissidents. There are already several officials from Lingnan here. After receiving the exclusion, they reported to me what happened. In addition, the King of Qin established a fiefdom and a state. Stop Daotai. This move is not in line with the official system of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, I have also heard that the King of Qin has used troops overseas many times, but he has not reported it to the court. This is out of bounds, please observe clearly!"

These things are all true.

First of all, Zhu Ping did indeed tamper with the official system of the Ming Dynasty.

But is what he did correct?

There is also such a provision in the Ming Law!

why?
Because the Ming Law is a code for everyone in the country, and these princes who are crowned kings are only a handful, and the imperial power can suppress them, so there are no clear regulations.

Can Zhu Ping's feudal state be established as a prime minister?

Logically speaking, it is actually possible.

Moreover, the power of Yao Guangxiao, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, is actually similar to that of Daotai Yamen, and is not even as powerful as Daotai, because Yao Guangxiao is currently only responsible for the administration of officials, and does not include the economic and military aspects.

Therefore, Hu Weiyong could only say that what Zhu Ping did was inconsistent with the Ming Dynasty's control system.

This article of advice can only order Zhu Ping to make corrections.

Then Hu Weiyong's main attack on Zhu Ping was that he used troops overseas without notifying the court.

"Your Highness the King of Qin, if my memory is correct, the Emperor has not given His Highness the power to govern overseas matters, right?" Hu Weiyong was afraid that he would not be able to prove this crime, so he deliberately asked Zhu Ping.

"Indeed not." Zhu Ping responded.

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he couldn't say that such a thing happened!

Doesn't that mean something is made out of nothing?

With Zhu Yuanzhang's current mentality, although he said he would not scold Zhu Chong, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely say: I clearly didn't give you such power, but you said I did?I don’t care, I have to pay more!
Now Zhu Yuanzhang is already a pure money-gaining brother.

He didn't have any other requirements for his son Zhu Ping...just give him money.

Who makes Zhu Xi really rich?

However, Zhu Feng didn't want to train his father to be a guy who demanded excessively.

Therefore, Zhu Xi admitted it generously.

There is indeed no such thing.Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Regarding King Qin's use of troops overseas, it is true that no report has been reported to me, and the Ministry of War has not received any report from King Qin. This matter is indeed overstepped by King Qin, so..."

When Zhu Xi heard this, he immediately felt something was wrong.

Is this asking for money again?
He was a little speechless.

So, not allowing Zhu Yuanzhang to continue speaking, Zhu Xiang said loudly: "Father, I still have something to say..."

"Huh? Okay, then you say it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was interrupted by Zhu Xi, but he was not angry at all.

However, his expression was as if I was watching your quibbles.

"Everything in the world is not the king's soil, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers! Father, Prime Minister Zuo, and all your lords, are these words right or wrong?" Zhu Xi first asked a question.

This sentence is very old and comes from the Book of Songs.

It was a product of the pre-Qin period.

However, this sentence is absolutely recognized by every ruler in the past dynasties.

Who could be so stupid as not to admit this!

So, everyone nodded and agreed unanimously.

Next, Zhu Xi grinned, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and asked: "Father, when I was sent to Lingnan that day, did my father once say that the south of the Five Ridges will be dominated by my son?"

"Well, I have said this." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

He did say that.

After all, Lingnan at that time was simply a barren land.

Just give it to Zhu Xi.

So now, even if Lingnan is rich, Zhu Yuanzhang is just embarrassed to ask Zhu Xi for money, and has never said that he wants to return to Lingnan and give Zhu Xi another fief.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't do such a thing.

But what does this sentence have to do with Hu Weiyong's impeachment of Zhu Ping's indiscriminate use of foreign troops?

Zhu Xi gave the answer: "In this case, the whole world is not the king's land, then the Australia and Nanyang lands that I sent troops to conquer are all south of the Five Ridges?"

Wuling refers to Yuecheng Ridge, Dupang Ridge, Mengzhu Ridge, Qitian Ridge and Dayu Ridge. It was called Wuling in ancient times.

The place name Lingnan is because this area is south of the Five Ridges.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang once said that all the areas south of Wuling would be dominated by Zhu Xi, the King of Qin. In Zhu Xi's view, this sentence had too great political use.

South of Wuling, then the whole of Nanyang and Australia are south of Wuling!
No one can deny this.

Therefore, Zhu Xi said with a smile: "I have conquered Australia and Southeast Asia in compliance with my father's orders. How can Prime Minister Zuo use this to impeach me for overstepping my authority? My father, in my opinion, I will have to go through it in the future." Regarding all the overseas affairs, no one can impeach this one!"

"This..." Hu Weiyong was dumbfounded.

Then he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang unwillingly...

real or fake?

Your Majesty, did you really say such a thing?

Did you really give all the land south of the Five Ridges to King Qin?
If I had known this to be the case, then I would have been impeached!

Damn it, is this impeachment of loneliness?
Zhu Yuanzhang was also silent.

How to do?
You have no jokes.

Words that are spoken are equivalent to water being poured out.

What's more, Zhu Ping has the ability to conquer overseas lands. This is also a sign that his son is promising. It is impossible to punish him for such a thing, right?

If this is true, then what about the future King of Yan?

In the north, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to leave it to King Yan to pursue Bei Yuan!
