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

But by the time of Zhu Di, the vassal system established by Zhu Yuanzhang had deteriorated.

The most important point is that the feudal king's own military power is gone.

Similarly, the vassal king himself had no more requirements and roles to defend the Ming Dynasty, resist foreign enemies, and quell internal strife.

After all, Zhu Di himself was on the side of the Qing monarch and relied on the military power of the vassal king to cause trouble.

After he succeeded in taking the throne, he naturally wanted to prevent other vassal kings from imitating the rule of Qing Dynasty.

Of course, after seizing the military power, due to the family ties and royal dignity, Zhu Di naturally had to make compensation, which was to further increase the annual salary of the feudal king's relatives.

This is equivalent to changing the vassal king who originally owned certain shares and decision-making power into a vassal king who only owned more dividend shares, but lost part of the decision-making power!

To put it bluntly, the vassal kings during Zhu Yuanzhang's period were trained and required based on talents and heroes, while the vassal kings during Zhu Di's period were supported through pig-raising.

This is the biggest difference between the vassal kings during the Zhu Yuanzhang period and the vassal kings during the Zhu Di period!

The former vassal king, for a country, it is difficult to tell whether the disadvantages outweigh the advantages or the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but in the end it is still more or less beneficial, it is just the size of the benefits.

Although the latter vassal kings strengthened the centralization of imperial power, they brought a group of useless, blood-sucking worms to the country!

And as time goes by, the number is increasing, and the blood-sucking moths are becoming more and more serious!

In view of the fact that the ancestral laws cannot be abolished, the emperors of later generations of the Zhu family made minor modifications to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause at most, but this problem did not essentially solve the problem.

Instead, it became more and more serious until the Ming Dynasty was overthrown.

Therefore, to a certain extent, a large part of the factors for the future collapse of the Ming Dynasty were due to the royal family annual salary system established and modified by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di.

After hearing this, Queen Ma didn't know what to do.

Support it, it will bring down Ming Dynasty in the future.

If you don't support me, there will be bloodshed in the future battle for the throne.

It seems that no choice is correct.

What's even more troublesome is that they can't find the third correct choice besides these two choices! ! !

This is why Zhu Yuanzhang has been frowning since he came back from Yan Changqing's secret listening.

Even because of this, the recent incidents about Hu Weiyong's increasing power and monopoly, which made him deeply dissatisfied, were put aside.

After all, no matter how powerful and arrogant Hu Weiyong is, without caring about his righteousness, he can only kill him with a small pawn.

For him, there is a solution to Hu Weiyong's matter, and there is even more than one solution.

It just depends on the final consequences and the impact, which one to choose.

So he only felt deeply dissatisfied with Hu Weiyong, but in fact he didn't have a big headache.

But he really has a headache about the future salary of the Ming royal family, because until now he really has not thought of a solution that seems to have the best of both worlds!

After a long silence, Empress Ma put her hand on Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and spoke to comfort him:

"Since we can't think of a solution, then let's not think about it and let others think about it."

"Didn't you say before that the man who foresaw the fall of the Ming Dynasty two or three hundred years later was named Yan Changqing?!!"

"Since he can foresee this, he must have a solution."

"You have a better attitude and don't scare him. If there is a solution, he won't hide it or hold it back."

After hearing what Empress Ma said, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he immediately laughed and said:

"Hahaha, girl, you are right!"

"Since we can't think of a solution, let others think for us!"

"Especially that Yan Changqing, he said he wanted to teach Biao'er and the others the 'dragon slaying skills', and he was very disrespectful to us in his words!"

"If he gives us a satisfactory solution, then we will forget about it!"

"If he cannot give us a satisfactory solution, then he will die for the Ming Dynasty three hundred years in advance!!!"

Speaking of the last sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang became murderous.

Although he hasn't thought of a solution yet, at least he found someone who might be able to solve the problem, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel a lot better.

"However, we were listening in private before. They didn't even know that we were listening when they were talking."

"If we rush to him now and ask him to give us a solution, it will expose what we eavesdropped on before."

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

After all, he is also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he needs things like face to some extent.

Especially in front of his sons, he needs to maintain his majesty as a father.

If his sons knew that he was eavesdropping on their conversations, it would undermine his majesty as a father.

"Use less Jinyiwei!"

"They are your sons, not your prisoners!"

Empress Ma patted the back of Zhu Yuanzhang's hand to express her dissatisfaction.

"I'm not afraid that they will be bewitched by the traitor and do whatever they want."

"Look, if things like this happened, if I hadn't arranged for the Jin Yiwei to be by their side in advance, how would I have known that someone would dare to claim that they knew the 'Dragon Slaying Technique'?!!"

"Not to mention knowing that in the next two or three hundred years, the salary of the royal family may drag down the Ming Dynasty and lead to the fall of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang tried to defend himself.

This is why Zhu Yuanzhang kept such a low profile in front of Queen Ma.

If it were anyone else, Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't even be able to explain.

"Let's wait for now. If he knows that we are listening, he might hide some of the solutions he reveals. Let's let Biao'er and the others inquire."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and decided to temporarily give up the idea of ​​asking in person.

As the emperor, he knew very well that sometimes the same person would often have two different answers to the same question when asked by different people.

For example, when he asks a minister about the solution to a certain matter, the minister will often not say the best solution, but only the safest solution.

Because the best solutions often come with some risks.

But when this minister faces his colleagues or subordinates, he may tell his best plan.

Because speaking out risky solutions to colleagues or subordinates will not bring death to the minister.

Now Yan Changqing seems to be quite candid in front of Zhu Biao and the others, although there is a lot of arrogance in the candidness.

But this is not important. What is important is that if Zhu Biao and the others ask, they may get the best solution, and if he asks, they may get the safest solution.

So after arguing with each other, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to continue eavesdropping, no, just listening!

"The existing royal family salary system may overwhelm the future Ming Dynasty. Biao'er and the others also know that they are probably thinking of a solution right now."

"It would be best if they could come up with a solution."

"If they don't expect it, then they will probably find us in the end. Then I will hint them to find that Yan Changqing to find a solution!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly, already waiting for Zhu Biao and the others to come to his door.
