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

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Sister, it's difficult to treat everyone equally!"

“After all, we don’t worry about scarcity but inequality!”

"If it is true that only the eldest son is supported, then does the Ming Dynasty still support the second, third, fourth and other vassal kings now? !!"

"If you really want to say it, they are not the eldest sons either."

"If they don't provide support, then are they still considered the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty?!!"

"Can we still expect them to work with Biao'er to defend the Ming Dynasty in the future? !!"

"Even if the second, third, and fourth generation of feudal lords are exceptions, if only the eldest son of the second generation of feudal lords is supported."

"Then what will happen to Biao'er's children in the future?!!"

"Leave aside, if Xiongying's child is established as the grandson of the emperor, what about Yunwen's children?!!"

"Will Biaoer be open to his own children in the future?! Or will the Tian family be ruthless and just expel them?!!"

"If Biao'er treats his own children with openness, but treats the descendants of the vassal kings ruthlessly, how can his brothers obey him? !!"

"If Biao'er doesn't show mercy to his children, then I'm afraid the battle for the throne after Biao'er will be bloody in the future!!!"

"Because if they don't fight, they won't even have the blessing of an idle prince in the end!"

"If you fight, you might even get a chance to sit in that seat!"

"Tell me, what will the concubines and the emperor's grandsons in Biao'er Palace think in the future?!!"

Hearing this, Queen Ma couldn't help but frowned.

If Zhu Biao really treats everyone equally after inheriting the throne in the future, he will not even give his prince the treatment of an idle, wealthy prince.

So one can imagine how cruel and fierce the competition for the position of the third generation of the Emperor of Heaven will be in the future.

Because if you don’t fight, you will have nothing.

If you fight, even if the outcome is very likely to be death, there is still a slight possibility of ascending to the throne.

With such an extreme result, even if the emperors and grandchildren did not want to fight, the concubines behind them would not give up the opportunity to fight.

After all, the mother is as valuable as the son, and those concubines marrying the prince or the emperor are just to achieve the highest honor and glory of the heavenly family.

If you marry a prince or an emperor, in the end you won't even be able to obtain the highest honor and glory of a heavenly family.

Then they might as well marry a high official in the court, at least the honor they would give themselves and their children would be better than that of the emperor's concubines and concubines.

"If, once it really becomes like that."

"Then even if there is an ancestral system left by me in the future to establish the eldest son as the prince or grandson, I am afraid that it will not be able to suppress those princes and grandsons who have no way out."

"The prince and grandson are not the true emperor!"

"As long as the prince and grandson die, then the opportunity for the other princes and grandsons will come!"

"No matter how big the risk is, they will be willing to take it!"

"If that happens, there will definitely be great disputes in the future Ming Dynasty over which prince will succeed to the throne."

"At the least, the situation in the DPRK will be unstable; at the worst, the national power will be internally depleted, the Ming Dynasty will be weakened, and there may even be the danger of overthrow!!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were solemn, as if he had seen the fierce battle for the right to inherit the throne in the future if he chose to treat everyone equally and no longer support the other princes and grandchildren.

"Moreover, this also goes against our original intention of establishing a vassal system."

"We established the vassal system because we hope that the descendants of the old Zhu family will work together to govern and protect the Ming Dynasty."

"After all, a large part of the reason for the defeat of the previous dynasty was that the emperor was weak and his ministers were strong, and the emperor could not get help from his vassals. Moreover, the civil servants and generals in various places were unfaithful and dishonest. Once they encountered rebellion, they would be defeated in one blow, which led to the final The Meng Yuan was destroyed."

Because in the early years of the Red Turban Uprising, I witnessed the rebellion and incompetence of too many Mongolian and Yuan civil and military officials, as well as my own distrust of officials.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang had a certain resistance to leaving a large country to outsiders such as civil servants and generals to govern.

In his opinion, once the country encounters a major event, disaster, or disaster, those officials may not be reliable, let alone work their heart and soul for the country.

But it would be different if it were the descendants of Lao Zhu's family. After all, the descendants of Lao Zhu's family all have a share in this country, and it is truly Lao Zhu's own country.

So when the country encounters major events, disasters, and catastrophes, what reason do the descendants of Lao Zhu's family have for not doing their best and working hard? ! !

This is actually the difference between the chairman and senior workers in a company who receive stock dividends, and the workers who do not receive stock dividends.

The emperor is naturally the chairman of the company and has all the power to make decisions.

For civil and military ministers and migrant workers without shares, it doesn't matter even if the company goes bankrupt. They are all working anyway, so it doesn't matter which company they work for.

Whether you work hard and work hard for the company really just depends on your personal thoughts.

A group of vassal kings, high-level workers with partial shares and decision-making power.

For them, once the company goes bankrupt, even if they don't follow the company to the end, their own interests will also suffer great losses.

Once the company makes a profit, they will receive more benefits when paying dividends at the end of the year.

In this way, regardless of any righteousness such as the company, but simply for their own sustainable self-interest and power, these senior workers with shares will work hard to protect the company and continue to work hard to create performance for the company.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang divided the princes into feudal states and established the vassal system.

Coupled with the vassal king system during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, although on the surface there was no vassal king, there was only the name of vassal king.

But in fact, a vassal king has at most three guards and at least one guard.

The strength of one of the guards ranges from four to five thousand to as many as five to six thousand.

A high-ranking vassal king has an independent guard force of nearly 20,000.

Even if this does not have the title of "splitting the soil and conferring the title of king", it is more or less the actual title of "crack the soil and confer the title of king". What is missing is just a righteous title.

Such a vassal system is still very tempting to those vassal kings.

After all, even if you can't become the emperor, it would be great to be a serious local emperor with high military power in your own fiefdom!

So from this point of view, once the Ming Dynasty really encounters any natural disaster or man-made disaster, it will lead to rebellion.

So these vassal kings are indeed willing to work hard and work hard for the Ming Dynasty.

After all, if the Ming Dynasty becomes more and more powerful because of them, the power in their hands will also increase.

The relationship between the two is truly a relationship where both prosper and suffer.
