Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

After listening to Yan Changqing's third rhetorical question, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement with what Yan Changqing said.

【Yes!】

【Looking into the distance for hundreds of years, this is us!!】

【Our vision is so long-term!!!~】

[Whether it is the royal family salary we originally formulated or the vassal king system we implemented, there is nothing wrong with it!]

[At least while we are still in office, or even within a hundred years, there will be no problems with either system!]

[By the time problems arise in these two systems, it will already be a hundred years later. 】

[We can guarantee that there will be no problems with the policies implemented during our reign, or even within a hundred years. 】

[Then we, the ancestors, have done our best enough!]

[Problems that arise a hundred years from now should naturally be solved by the descendants of the old Zhu family a hundred years from now. 】

[If these problems cannot be solved, it must be because the descendants of Lao Zhu’s family are not living up to expectations, and it is a shame to look down upon his group!]

At this thought, Zhu Yuanzhang had completely recovered, and his body was once again filled with the spirit of fighting against heaven and earth and never admitting defeat.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes also wandered uncertainly on the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes.

As if he wanted to see if they had the same long-term vision that he could see a hundred years away, or even a hundred years away.

It seems that they want to see if they can estimate and guess what their future descendants will be like through their current appearance, and whether they can solve the problems that will arise a hundred years after the Ming Dynasty.

Feeling the dazed gaze of his father Zhu Yuanzhang falling on him from time to time [Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Cheng, Zhu Di and other ten princes secretly screamed in their hearts.

Do they have the vision to look back hundreds of years?!!

What a fart!!!

Shit, they do have one, or even many.

But looking at a hundred years from afar, who can tell them how to achieve a hundred years from afar?!!

They don't know how to do it within a hundred years, let alone the super long-selected self-light that is a hundred years away.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's high-spirited and confident posture, Yan Changqing smiled softly and said again:

"The feudal king system was not wrong from the perspective of the people who created it."

“But when we look back at history as a whole and evaluate the historical role it played from the perspective of latecomers, we will eventually discover a fact.

"In terms of a dynasty lasting hundreds of years, the vassal system in the first hundred years of the dynasty had a positive impact on the maintenance of imperial power, the consolidation of rule, and the stability and well-being of the world and borders. , positive meaning.

"The vassal system at this stage may be said to have more advantages than disadvantages."

"And this time, based on the normal reign time of the emperor of the dynasty, is usually between the first and second generation emperors."

"But when the time comes a hundred years later, in the middle and late dynasty."

"The third generation of the emperor succeeded to the throne. At this time, the relationship between the emperor and the princes and vassals has slowly begun to change from the relationship of brothers to the relationship of uncle and nephew, or perhaps to the relationship of cousins."

"It is difficult to see each other three or two times a year. The relationship between the two parties has begun to become distant, and mutual trust has also begun to diminish."

“At the same time, as the world recovers and develops, the power and influence of local princes, kings and vassal states will also expand and grow.

"And when the fourth emperor succeeds to the throne, the relationship between the emperor and the princes and vassals will change from the original uncle-nephew relationship to the more distant uncle-nephew and brother relationship.

"At that time, apart from blood ties, there should be no actual feelings between the emperor and the local princes and vassals."

"At the same time, if the power of the princes, kings and vassal states is not suppressed at this time, it will begin to be enough to achieve substantial independence for one side, and the conflicts between the central court and the local princes, kings and vassal states will begin to intensify."

"Because the various local princes, kings and vassal states will subconsciously develop in the direction of a unified and centralized country under the congenital influence brought by the general trend of development and change of unified and centralized power over thousands of years. And go."

"As for the local vassal states, if they want to become a unified centralized state, they naturally need to merge with other vassal states.

"And in the end, like a snake swallowing an elephant, it will annex the last unified central dynasty and replace it with itself!!!"

"This process is irreversible, and the relationship between the central court and the local princes, kings and vassal states is also irreconcilable."

"At this point, there are only two paths that can be taken before the central court and the local princes, kings and vassal states."

"Either like the vassal states of the Spring and Autumn Period, break up the Zhou Dynasty and replace it!"

…………Please give me flowers…………

"Either we can suppress the vassal kingdoms and unify them again just like the Western Han Dynasty did when they eliminated the vassal kings!"

"No matter which path you choose, rebellion by local princes and lords is inevitable!"

"Similarly, regardless of whether the central court can successfully suppress the local vassal kingdoms, as long as there is a rebellion among the local vassal kingdoms, it will be a loss of national power for a country."

"At the least, it will be like the Western Han Dynasty and it will lose national power; at the worst, it will be like the Western Jin Dynasty and it will ruin China!"

"In the end, judging from the impact of the entire dynasty over hundreds of years, the existence of the vassal system has generally done more harm than good."

When Yan Changqing said this, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes could not help but frown deeply.

....O

No matter how important the vassal king and the vassal king system played in the first hundred years of a dynasty.

But as an emperor, a future prince, and a prince who may become a prince in the future.

They must all consider more carefully the possible harm that the vassal king and the vassal king system may bring in the last two or three hundred years of a dynasty.

After all, it is rare at this moment to be able to take advantage of the general trend and trend of the development and changes of unified centralization over thousands of years, and break out of the shackles of the current life span of just a few decades.

They must seize this opportunity to observe the changes in the vassal system within a dynasty for hundreds of years, and strive to solve the hidden dangers caused by the vassal system!

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang had previously thought that problems that would arise a hundred years later would be solved by the descendants of the old Zhu family a hundred years later.

But, isn’t that because I don’t know what problems will arise in Lao Zhu’s family a hundred years from now?!!

And now that they have the opportunity to know what problems the old Zhu family may have hundreds of years from now, as "ancestors" they naturally want to solve problems for the descendants of the old Zhu family a hundred years from now. 011404217 Feilu 114052260]

As a responsible "ancestor" who hopes that future generations will live a better life than themselves, how can they bear to let the problems they left behind cause trouble to future generations one or two hundred years later?!!
