Chapter 360 Once and for all

"I've eaten the leopard's courage? Since I've reached this point, what else can I say?"

Lu Diaoyang said calmly.

"It's nothing more than saying and doing, for the Ming Dynasty, it's just a battle of the blame!"

"Fight with your back?!" Shi Yiwen suddenly opened his eyes wide.

“Can there be other options?”

Lu Diaoyang couldn't help but sigh and looked at Shi Yiwen and said.

"You just said that Yu Daming now has only two possibilities. Of course, these are the worst possibilities, but no matter what, you and I must avoid these two situations. Since that's the case, what else can't be said or done?"

"This matter is of great importance. If you talk about it, I'm afraid that the elder will find it difficult to make a choice."

At this moment, even when he was on the road, Shi Yiwen had already thought of all kinds of possibilities, but when facing Lu Diaoyang, he still seemed a little hesitant.

"It is because it is important that we must consider it more carefully. How can we let the situation develop entirely by luck? By then, will the devastation of life be yours and me!"

Lu Diaoyang shook his head and looked at Shi Yiwen and said.

"At the beginning, the reason why I was willing to use this incident as an excuse to make this case involve thousands of people was ultimately to allow the Ming Dynasty to recreate the bright world. However, the situation had developed to this point, but it was far beyond my expectations, and I did not expect that they would actually make trouble."

Lu Diaoyang looked at Shi Yiwen and said:

"Zhiyuan, if you have any solutions, just say it out. Even something like Beijing has already happened. What else can't be said? It can't be done?"

Nodding silently, Shi Yiwen didn't say anything. He had speculated about the current crisis, but he did not expect it to happen.

"I have a habit of returning to the origin of things when something seems impossible to solve with any method, and thinking about countermeasures from the very beginning."

Shi Yiwen picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and began to explain his idea to Lu Tiaoyang, "Using this method, I finally figured out that the root cause of the crisis you and I are worried about today is nothing more than being strong and weak ministers. What I am worried about is that Jiangling will become a rebellious minister in the future, so he can do this, in the final analysis, "the power is in control" or the strong and weak ministers. So I pushed the problem forward and pushed it until the time when Emperor Gao founded the country."

"When will Emperor Gao start the country?"

It seemed as if something had been touched in Lu Diaoyang's mind.

“That’s right.”

Shi Yiwen nodded.

"The power is in control, and the ministers are strong and the king is weak. In the final analysis, it is because no one can check and balance the power of the ministers. As long as someone can check and balance the powerful ministers, the situation in the Ming Dynasty will eventually stabilize."

Shi Yiwen actually didn't know whether his thoughts were right, but this was the only way out he could think of, and this was also what Lu Diaoyang could fully understand. From this point of view, Shi Yiwen couldn't even say that he knew more than Lu Diaoyang.

"But I also know that this method is really sensational..."

Shi Yiwen said frankly in the face of Lu Diaoyang.

"But in fact, I don't know if there are any other solutions to solve this problem, but one thing that is certain is that if this method is used, it can at least ensure that the powerful ministers dare not seize power and that there will be no rioters in the court. I don't know whether this is a blessing or a disaster for me, Daming, but I think, perhaps, this is the only choice to solve the problem and the choice with the least impact on Daming."

Lu Diaoyang, who had guessed his thoughts, was silent for a moment.

"You mean the vassal king!"

Finally, Lu Tiyang broke the silence and stared at Shi Yiwen and said.

"At that time, Emperor Gao enfeoffed all the sons to various places, one to guard the border, and the other to protect the central government. With the vassal kings, even if there were treacherous ministers in the court, you would not dare to seize power. However, you know what happened later. Now you want the vassal kings to defend the central government again, and the police ordered the powerful ministers to break the vassal ban and let the vassal kings lead their troops? Without leading the troops, King Heng was willing to use it for others, rebellion and attempt to usurp the throne. This is to lead the troops, wouldn't it be..."

Lu Diaoyang didn't finish speaking, and he just knew something in his heart, and he could never say it. After all, Zhu Laosi, who was a vassal king, took over the world.

Shi Yiwen just looked at Lu Diaoyang silently, and he was very clear about such an answer. After all, since Jianwen, reducing the vassal states was the "ancestral teaching" of the Ming Dynasty. Now if you want to regain the power of those vassal kings, you may not be able to pass the first level here!

However, in Shi Yiwen's opinion, this method is the only choice. Even if he himself doesn't know what kind of future it will cause and what impact it will have on him, it is the only choice, even if it's Lu Lai's a bit whimsical. In the face of Lu Diaoyang's retort, he did not answer immediately, but asked back.

"I guess it's not to mention whether to break the "family ban" or not, just say that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although the royal family was enfeoffed in various places, the feudal ban was very strict. "Since the officials were eliminated, they did not engage in the four civil rites, and imprisoned a city... they did not take responsibility for their work, but generously gave birth to their wealth." Faced with generous clan salaries, having more children became the shortcut for many clans to make a fortune. They often married a concubine without any marriage, even pretended to be concubines, and even used illegitimate sons as illegitimate sons, and used illegitimate sons as adopted sons as parents. By the Chenghua period, this situation became more and more serious, and the court's review of names for names became more and more strict. Later, the court ordered that no illegitimate sons were allowed to be invited to be titled, and they could be granted the title. The world was peaceful.

After a long time, the population of the royal family has grown rapidly, "there are endless schools of heaven and the people of the country are limited." The court's Zonglu burden is getting heavier. Although the court restricted the reproduction of the royal family by means of asking for fame, by the time of Longqing and Wanli, the reproduction of the royal family has been extremely high. Zonglu has long been overwhelmed by our Ming Dynasty. Even if the repeated failures are made, the reproduction of the royal family will only increase. The burden of the Zonglu will only increase day by day. What should the court do when it is overwhelmed? Moreover, in recent years, there have always been clan members making trouble and seeking fame. The court has long been unable to bear the burden. Now it is like this, what will happen if it is another hundred years later?"

When Shi Yiwen mentioned "Zong Lu" Lu Diaoyang's frown, it was not a secret that the court could not bear the burden of Zong Lu. Otherwise, Zong Lu would not have been discounted during the reign of Emperor Shizong, and the court would not have repeatedly restricted the royal family's title and title. Everything was just to save some money.

"So, there is only one way to solve the problem?"

Facing Lu Diaoyang's gaze, Shi Yiwen said in a calm voice as possible.

"Seal them all overseas, so it will naturally be a one-time and for all!"

"Tenang overseas, once and for all..."
