Vassal king system?
When Zhu Rong heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question, his eyes narrowed.
Then, without thinking, he replied directly,
"Reporting to Imperial Father, your son thinks that the system of vassals is not a good idea!”
Although Zhu Rong also wanted to be a vassal king of the Great Ming Dynasty, the heavens were high, the emperor was far away, and he was free.
However, thinking about the Ming Dynasty in history…
He wasn't sure if Zhu Yuanzhang was probing him by asking about this matter.
Therefore, Zhu Rong rejected the feudal lord system without hesitation.
"Oh, tell me what you think!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard Zhu Rong's reply.
He thought that his son would be very happy and agree to the system of vassal kings.
This was because this vassal king system was definitely a good thing for princes like Zhu He.
After all, if he couldn't become the Crown Prince, he couldn't become the Emperor.
Becoming a vassal king and a local emperor was not bad either.
Who would have thought that Zhu Rong would reject him without hesitation?
This made Zhu Yuanzhang curious.
"Replying to Imperial Father, your son secretly thinks that the lessons of the previous Han are still in front of us. If my Great Ming implements the vassal king system, I'm afraid there will be endless trouble in the future!”
Zhu Xi couldn't say what the vassal king system of the Ming Dynasty was like in history.
It could only be analyzed from the vassal king system of the Han Dynasty.
During the Han Dynasty, the vassal kings not only had military power, but also tax power and coin power.
Therefore, every vassal state of the Han Dynasty belonged to China.
Every vassal king was a well-deserved local emperor and posed a great threat to the rule of the imperial court.
Then, there was the move of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che.
Of course, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty could not be compared to the vassal kings of the Han Dynasty.
The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty did not have military power, tax power, or coin power.
He did not even have the power to appoint and dismiss officials in the Imperial Residence.
All the officials were appointed by the Imperial Court, and their salaries were also paid by the Imperial Court.
In the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings only had 3,000 to 10,000 personal guards. They basically had no other rights.
In other words, the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty also had the title of vassal king.
Rather than saying that he was a vassal king, it was better to say that he was a captive royal family.
Without the imperial court's edict, one could not even leave the fief. One's personal freedom was strictly restricted.
Especially the vassal kings in the early Ming Dynasty.
Not only did he not have any power, but he also had to bear the heavy responsibility of guarding against the nine sides.
Therefore, Zhu He wasn't interested in becoming the vassal king of Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and asked,""What if I want to restore the vassal king system?”
"Father, please reconsider!"
Zhu Rong cupped his hands and advised.
He really didn't want to become a vassal king.
Even in history, the fief of the King of Qin, Zhu He, was in Xi'an City, which was already considered a prosperous place.
However, Zhu Rong was still unwilling to become a vassal king, nor did he want to be confined to Xi'an for the rest of his life.
"Forget it, let's discuss this matter later!”
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Rong's expression was firm and did not seem to be faking it, so he stopped the topic.
In fact, whether or not to restore the vassal king system.
Zhu Yuanzhang himself could not make up his mind and had yet to make a decision.
As an emperor, how could he not know the shortcomings of the vassal king system?
However, compared to the other generals, he trusted his son more and wanted his son to replace the generals of Great Ming and guard the country.
This was something that could not be helped.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang was born from a poor background, the generals who followed him to conquer the world were also complicated.
There were people from the Green Forest, people from aristocratic families, and many people from the martial world.
To these people.
Zhu Yuanzhang was confident that when he was alive, these people would not dare to have second thoughts.
However, once he died, Crown Prince Zhu Biao alone would not be able to suppress them.
It couldn't be helped. In this world of martial arts, individual strength had been greatly amplified.
As the emperor of Ming Dynasty.
If he could not suppress the civil and military officials in the court in terms of personal strength.
The Ming Dynasty would be in danger.
On this point, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of worry.
Although Crown Prince Zhu Biao's talent in martial arts was good, he was still a little lacking to become a Celestial Being Great Grandmaster.
Once he passed away, whether Zhu Biao would be able to stabilize the Great Ming Empire was still unknown.
In the end, it was because their Zhu family's foundation was too weak.
Old Zhu's family was from the bottom.
Even if they seized the world.
However, other than himself, he had no other power to suppress the world.
This was undoubtedly a very dangerous matter.
When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, he couldn't help but recall Liu Bowen's words.
"If Your Majesty wants the Ming Dynasty to be stable, you must suppress the martial world.”
"For this, Your Majesty can select a group of extraordinary people to cut off the dragon vein and cut off the path of heaven to cut off the path of the martial artists of the pugilistic world.”
"As long as there are no more Celestial Grandmasters in the world, the imperial court's military might will be enough to stabilize the Ming Dynasty and ensure that it will last for thousands of generations.”
The meaning of these words was very simple.
That was, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang could cut off the Dragon Veins of the world, there would be no more Celestial Masters in the Jianghu. At that time, with the army of the imperial court, they could completely dominate the Jianghu and ensure the stable inheritance of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the matter of cutting the dragon vein was completely against the heavens.
A single mistake would cause the backlash of heaven and earth.
This was undoubtedly a matter of making enemies with all the martial artists in the world.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree with Liu Bowen's proposal.
Now that he had heard that Zhu Rong had rejected the proposal of a vassal king, he couldn't help but think of Liu Bowen's suggestion. He thought of the words " cut off the dragon's vein and cut off the heavenly path."
He was thinking.
If he really wanted to cut off the dragon's vein and the path of heaven.
Would his Zhu family's territory really be able to pass down for thousands of years and be indestructible for thousands of generations?
