Chapter 1701: Enfeoffment Strategy
"You also enfeoff?"
After hearing this, Han Chong was a little surprised and asked, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?"
Why do we have one strategy at one time and one idea at another time?
At first, he sued for peace in a high-profile manner, but as an emperor, he wore civilian clothes and walked all the way to Daning to sue for peace. At that time, he curbed his warlike spirit and strongly advocated for peace.
Suing for peace failed, and he loudly publicized Yuanwu's cruelty. In fact, he wanted to let the people of the city and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty know that the consequences of defeat would be tragic, so they had to fight. But the result was wrong, and instead frightened people, and they felt that they should continue to seek peace.
and.
At this time, His Majesty once again tried his best to take charge of the battle, which even triggered the Literary Prison, and also brought out the crazy dogs of the Gongwei Department, who killed an unknown number of people... Even Prime Minister Pang Shigu died because of this.
Later, His Majesty seemed to have reflected. This trend of rectification gradually weakened, and the Guards Department no longer focused on those who wanted to make peace, but on the powerful and powerful.
If you have money, you will do something wrong, which makes this group of people frightened by the news, and privately they want to imitate Lu Zhengyuan.
Scared!
It’s okay if the money is gone, don’t destroy the people.
Now I hear your Majesty’s intention has changed again!
Han Chong summed it up in his mind and came to the conclusion that His Majesty was being led by the nose by Emperor Yuanwu!
These changes in orders were all caused by Emperor Yuanwu!
The problem is that such changes make people panic. Even if you change now, no one will believe you!
Han Chong thought to himself and said cautiously: "Isn't there something wrong with this?"
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Zhen's eyes flashed with light, and he said loudly: "I understand, I already know Emperor Yuanwu's intention of enfeoffment!"
"The victory of the Daning War directly resulted in the acquisition of large areas. If the imperial court wanted to administer these areas, it had to establish local government offices and select and dispatch officials. This took a long time. When the imperial court was unable to do so, it would seal off these areas and give them to
Giving people rights is the fastest way. Let these feudal kings or nobles fiddle with themselves to whatever extent they can..."
"Do you think this is true?"
Han Chong followed his thoughts.
"Your Majesty is wise, Emperor Yuanwu had this intention. Being a nobleman and having a fiefdom, he naturally wanted to develop the fiefdom as soon as possible. This is an incentive strategy."
"That's right."
Zhu Zhen smiled and said: "In this case, we can also follow suit."
"Currently, the people's livelihood is in decline, and the imperial court is trying to seize it. I have also sealed off the land. I can give them rights, and even the right to recruit soldiers. Let them serve the country. Maybe they won't care. If I let them defend their own land, I'm afraid they will
Try your best!"
The more Zhu Zhen thought about it, the more feasible it became.
He felt that he had the upper hand because he had seen through Guan Ning's true intentions.
"This enfeoffment policy is not suitable for Daning, but it is quite suitable for our country of Liang!"
Seeing Zhu Zhen's excited expression, Han Chong had doubts in his heart.
Now that the Liang Kingdom is in decline, local corruption, and poverty, who is willing to take over that mess, not to mention the possibility of facing huge dangers...
However, the only solution for now is to treat a dead horse as a live doctor, so there is nothing wrong with giving it a try.
Han Chong asked again: "Is a donation required for conferring a title?"
"Of course it is necessary."
Zhu Zhen said: "I have granted you a title and a land, how can I grant it in vain?"
Han Chong looked slightly startled.
This change is also too big. There are previous precedents. People have been frightened. Will they really donate?
As if he knew Han Chong's thoughts, Zhu Zhen said: "I know that the Archguard has done some things to make people panic. I will calm people down."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Han Chong knew that the popular minister Wang Yuan was about to be executed...
In fact, it is just a sword for His Majesty. Once it is used up, it will be useless!
It's really sad to think about it, but it also shows that His Majesty has really returned to normal...
This may be the meaning of the death of Prime Minister Pang Shigu.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please see me!"
At this time, a eunuch came in to report.
Zhu Zhen once gave Wang Yuan special privileges, and if he asked for an audience, he could report him at any time.
"Let him in."
Han Chong said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I will retire first..."
"Need not."
After a while, Wang Yuan walked in. He looked at Han Chong in surprise and saluted directly.
In just a few months, this inner court official who was originally ranked at the bottom suddenly became the first official.
Wang Yuan once had ambitions and pursuits, but he gradually lost himself in the desire for power!
Especially after taking charge of the Imperial Guard Division, he was even more powerful. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was the most powerful official in the dynasty. What he sought was the position of prime minister.
It's just a pity that His Majesty never had this intention. He told him earlier that there was someone else taking the position of prime minister...
Who is this person?
He inquired for a long time but still didn't find out.
"What can I report?"
Zhu Zhen's question interrupted his thoughts. Wang Yuan glanced at Han Chong and hesitated...
"Just tell me."
"yes!"
Wang Yuan said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, in the past half month, we have investigated and dealt with thirteen families who intend to invest in Daning's powerful and influential people, and investigated and dealt with 300,000 taels of money and dirt..."
His detailed report.
They say they are going to Daning, but in fact they are just looking for an excuse. The purpose is to gain the wealth of these families.
Han Chong's face was expressionless, but his heart was full of resentment!
Thirteen more families suffered!
If this continues, the country will be in chaos!
Fortunately, His Majesty has changed his mind.
"Wang Yuan, from now on, you don't have to investigate this matter anymore."
"Um?"
Wang Yuan was a little surprised. Now that the victory was at its peak, he had probably raised more than one million taels for the court. Why would Your Majesty stop?
"in addition……"
Zhu Zhen's voice was low and somewhat cold.
"Do you know your guilt?"
Chapter completed!
