Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 199 Chapter 190 Six
Zhu Weixiao is still showing off his work and scolding him in public. How can Zhu Huaicui, a second-year middle school boy, endure this?So as soon as Zhu Weizhen finished speaking, Zhu Huaicui began to get angry directly, calling Zhu Weizhen shameless and shameless, and he wanted to take advantage of him and persuade others to keep him.

Zhu Huaizhen scolded him harshly, and being humiliated by his son in public, and at this critical moment of life and death, Zhu Weixiao was furious, and he immediately began to angrily scold Zhu Huaizhen for being unfilial.Zhu Huaizhen is 20 years old this year, and he is at a rebellious age. He has been angry with Zhu Weixuan for more than two years in the Qin Palace, because he did not treat him as a cadre, and often beat and scolded him.

So after Zhu Weixiao got angry, Zhu Huaizhen was also very angry. He rushed over and ignored so many people around him. In an undignified manner, he started to argue with his father Zhu Weixiao while raising his voice.

They all say that no good words can be said in a quarrel, and they all say that when a person is extremely emotionally agitated, it is impossible to keep his mouth shut.Therefore, as the father and son spray each other more and more, more and more negative information is exposed about each other.

Wang Daoqiu was also very bad at this time and asked the Jin Yiwei to block other people in the Qin Palace from going up to remind their master.At the same time, Wang Daoqiu also secretly ordered his personal bodyguards to order Li Guodong and Zhou Shangwen to immediately mobilize troops to surround the Qin Palace.

After Wang Daoqiu finished his little move, he just put his hands behind his back and smiled at the sons and grandsons of Comrade Lao Zhu's family, being embarrassed here like a rural shrew.

It's a waste of your voice to yell at others, especially when you're extremely angry.Therefore, Prince Qin and his son, although they were eager to fight to the end of the world, their throats did not allow it!So they quarreled for a while, and the two of them were hunched over like shrimps, glaring at each other with blood-red eyes, as if they wanted to eat each other, but they were still panting, it was obvious that they were not strong enough!
Seeing King Qin and his son gasping for breath, Wang Daoqiu didn't say anything, just stood there and watched.Even after Prince Qin and his son calmed down for a while, they realized how serious the things that had stood out during their quarrel were. When they explained their differences to Wang Daoqiu, Wang Daoqiu was also noncommittal.

It wasn't until Li Guodong led a large group of officers and soldiers into the Prince of Qin's Mansion that Wang Daoqiu ordered that all the people in the Prince of Qin's Mansion be taken into custody, and all those in charge of the Prince of Qin's Mansion would be handed over to the Jinyi Guards for separate interrogation.

Wang Daoqiu gave the order, and the whole palace of Prince Qin suddenly became agitated.After the sergeants imprisoned all the people in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, Wang Daoqiu took the masters of Jinyiwei and Dongchang to start a "treasure hunting expedition" in the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

This time, because of Wang Daoqiu's request, Emperor Jiajing asked Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to send Wang Daoqiu, all of whom were experts in searching for clues.In addition, Jin Yiwei obtained clues from the torture of the housekeepers and stewards of Prince Qin's Mansion.After a night of troubles, Dongchang and Jinyiwei found more than a dozen darkrooms in Prince Qin's Mansion.

And these dark rooms are not only filled with the wealth and anointing of the people collected by the kings of Qin in the past, but also the dreams of the kings of Qin who were not willing to just be a "high-level prisoner" for the rest of their lives. They wanted to be free and to rule the world, including the dragon bed, dragon robe, and the queen's dream. Phoenix crowns, including armor and crossbows, including those words expressing their ideals.

With ironclad evidence, Wang Daoqiu invited all the officials of the Ming court in Xi'an to the Prince Qin's mansion early the next morning.King Qin and his son were still in custody, and together with Shaanxi officials, they went to appreciate the ideals of the kings of Qin.

This underground Jinluan Palace is located in the back garden of Prince Qin's Mansion, and the entrance is among a bunch of rockeries.The Jinyi guards escorted King Qin and his son, and Wang Daoqiu led hundreds of Shaanxi civil and military personnel into the underground Jinluan Hall from the entrance.

This underground Jinluan Hall is located nine meters underground and covers an area of ​​about half a football field.The decoration inside is almost a miniature version of the Fengtian Hall of the Forbidden City. There are dragon chairs, golden pillars and gold bricks on the ground floor, and the lights are shining.

In the wardrobe behind the dragon chair screen, there are dragon robes, phoenix crowns and harems worn by the kings and concubines of Qin in the past dynasties.And I don’t know if these Qin kings and Qin princesses are afraid that their descendants will not know that they were emperors and empresses, or that their children are benevolent and filial. Anyway, these dragon robes and phoenix crowns and harems are all embroidered with small characters in gold thread, indicating that they are Who is their master, and the year, month and day they became emperor and queen.

Seeing this irrefutable evidence, the hundreds of civil and military officials in Shaanxi were extremely angry. They raised questions about Prince Qin and his son.But when Prince Qin and his son faced such irrefutable evidence, how could they dare to deny it, so they lowered their heads and pretended to be dead dogs, allowing the officials to question and scold them.

If Prince Qin and his son did not retaliate after such scolding, it would be regarded as acquiescence.So when they saw that the King of Qin and his son recognized him, the officials in Shaanxi waved their hands and said that they would write a letter to impeach the King of Qin and his son.

After those Shaanxi officials who thought of taking the lives of King Qin and his son in exchange for a chance to make meritorious deeds took King Qin out for a public trial in order to enrich the material for their memorial.Wang Daoqiu and Ge Shouli were the only ones left in this underground Jinluan Hall.

Facing this splendid place where the kings of Qin had entertained themselves, Ge Shouli sighed with pain on his face: "I really didn't expect it! All the kings of Qin in the past were eating the king's salary, but what they thought about every day was rebellion." "Hahahaha, Mr. Ge. , what’s so strange about this! Since the founding of our dynasty, the vassal king has taken away all military power except for the guards of his own palace. And although the court gives high treatment to the vassal king, guarding against them is like guarding against thieves. I The vassals of the Ming Dynasty were, to put it mildly, like canaries locked up in each palace. Although they could live a life of luxury and debauchery, their freedom was only limited to the palace. Moreover, when people think of high places, water flows to low places. , even if they fight against the common people, how many people don’t want to be the emperor, let alone these dragon sons and grandsons?”

Hearing Ge Shouli's emotion, Wang Daoqiu hurriedly answered and revealed the fact that everyone has an emperor's dream in their hearts.

After listening to Wang Daoqiu's words, Ge Shouli nodded in agreement.Then he did not dwell on this issue, but asked Wang Daoqiu in a very practical way: "Now that the matter is over, I don't know what the Grand Tutor is going to do with Prince Qin's Mansion next."

"How to deal with the Prince of Qin's Mansion? To be honest with Mr. Ge, I have ordered the army to arrest all the princes, generals of the country, generals of the country and other men of the King of Qin's line, as well as the princesses, county heads and other men of the King of Qin. Women from the same lineage. We foreign ministers have no right to deal with these dragon sons and dragon girls. When they are all captured, I will give a report to the emperor and ask the emperor to ask the Zongzheng Mansion to send someone to arrest these dragons from King Qin’s lineage. Zilongnu, send me to Zongzheng Mansion for prosecution."

"Well, that's the truth. Without the scourge of King Qin's family, the sins of the people in Guanzhong will be the worst." I heard that Wang Daoqiu wanted to make these dragons and dragons produced by the King of Qin's lineage that had multiplied in the Guanzhong Plain for nearly 200 years. The woman is in charge of the pot. As a descendant of a poor family who deeply hates these emperors, Ge Shouli is also relieved.

After saying these words to relieve his anger, Ge Shouli asked again: "In addition to the scourge of King Qin's family, the next step is for the fields of King Qin's family to follow the example of Shandong and sell those fields to the tenant farmers at a [-]% discount. ? To be honest, Mr. Taifu, you have a very bad reputation in official circles, but you have given farmers their land in Shandong and made the people love you very much. The people all hope that you can go to them and give them their land. The feudal kings and local tyrants and evil gentry were dealt with, and the land was sold to them at a [-]% discount."

Allocating fields to local tyrants has been a gratifying task for flower farmers since ancient times. As long as someone does this, even if you are a devil, the farmers will treat you as a god and be willing to follow you.In this way, countless criminal groups, demons and ghosts have been disguised as good guys by farmers, causing tragedies one after another in the land of Zhonghua.

Thinking of the short-sightedness and petty gain nature of the peasant class, Wang Daoqiu felt very miserable now.However, throughout the history of the country, the biggest powder keg has been the peasant class. As long as the farmers do not want to cause trouble, the country will be stable.Therefore, getting rural farmers to stand on his side is the basis for Wang Daoqiu to realize his lofty ideals.

Since the nature of farmers in farming countries is to be short-sighted and love to take advantage of small things, then let’s help them!Thinking of these helplessness, Wang Daoqiu said with a serious face: "To be honest, Mr. Ge, rather than selling land, I want to implement the Yongye Tian system of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The right to use the land is given to farmers for free. , allowing them to cultivate and harvest, and pass the Yongye Field to their descendants. Except that it cannot be sold, in other aspects, the Yongye Field is no different from the people's own private fields. This has obvious benefits and can ensure the stability of land ownership."

"Selling fields directly to farmers like in Shandong may seem good in the short term, but I believe that in at least three generations, most of the fields in Shandong will still become the estates of big landlords. And most of the current self-cultivators will Turn them back into tenant farmers who rent land for farming. After all, those clever landlords, businessmen, and relatives and nephews of officials and officials with connections. Whether they use force or frame them, they have plenty of ways to turn the farmers' fields into their own. . So within a few decades, it will still be the same as before, with a few big landowners controlling the vast majority of the fields, and the vast majority of farmers having no place to stand, and can only make a living by working as cattle and horses for the big landowners."

Wang Daoqiu's words revealed a cruel reality, that is, social resources are always concentrated in the hands of a few people.

The reality was too cruel. After hearing this, Ge Shouli felt sad and asked helplessly: "Master Taifu, selling the land directly to tenant farmers at a low price is indeed treating the symptoms but not the root cause and cannot solve the problem of land annexation. Then can we? Submit a letter to the imperial court, requesting the imperial court to re-implement the Yongye Tian system of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the Guanzhong Plain, and to donate the land to farmers for free for cultivation, but no trading is allowed."

"No way, Master Ge, give up such a mountain of gold and silver and give the right to use the land to the farmers for free. This suggestion will not be approved by the court. After all, the world is full of prosperity, and the court and the emperor are not exempt from this custom. Moreover, if the Yongye Field system is implemented, farmers will only have the right to use these Yongye Fields, and the imperial court will have ownership of these Yongye Fields. Then the question arises, since these Yongye Fields belong to the imperial court, how will the imperial court deal with these Yongye Fields? , are all justified. For example, in addition to the prince, your majesty currently has two princes, King Yu and King Jing. If in the future, your majesty will seal King Yu or King Jing to Guanzhong, then what do you think, Mr. Ge, these eternal achievements in Guanzhong Tian, ​​can it still be Yongye Tian?”

Unclear property rights are the main reason why later generations of public enterprises failed.The same is true for this feudal dynasty. If the ownership of the land belongs to the state, it belongs to the emperor.If the emperor gives these lands to his sons as fiefs or rewards them to meritorious officials, then he is blameless.

As for the continuity of policies, if you think back to those policies that were said to be unchanged for 50 years or 100 years, have you actually seen policies that will remain unchanged for ten years or 20 years?So you should never believe that a centralized government, where the rule of man is higher than the rule of law, will have continuity in its policies.Because in such a political system, whoever is in power has the final say.

Therefore, Wang Daoqiu did not implement the Yongye Tian system in Shandong at first, and now he does not plan to implement the Yongye Tian system in the Guanzhong Plain.Because he knows that the so-called Yongyetian is an illusory utopia and a beautiful mirage in this society where there is no legal system and whoever is in power has the final say.
