Pang Tongzhi was taken away by the banned dragon guard, Chu Qianshi was locked up by Lord Yao, and a brief calm occurred in Suzhou Prefecture, but the murders of the prefect Zhang and Qian Shipeng are still here, and Zhan Feiyu is temporarily still
Can't leave.
"When Asheng comes back, let him come here." Zhan Feiyu said to He Nuan, and once again focused on the policy issue he was looking at, "Zhou Tang emphasizes outside and under the inside, Qin Wei emphasizes outside and under the inside, and Qin Wei emphasizes outside and under the inside and under the inside
Each has its own theory.
Zhan Feiyu frowned and thought, on the surface, this is a topic of Taoist history. The so-called emphasis on the outside and underestimate the inside refers to the Zhou Dynasty implementing the feudal system of princes, which eventually led to the expansion of the princes and the Zhou emperor standing aside.
The prosperous Tang Dynasty implemented the system of vassal states, which led to the expansion of vassal states, forming de facto separatist states, and the local power was too great, and it was very stance that "the generals would not accept foreign military orders". On the surface, they still respected the emperor in the capital, but in fact,
However, it is the local governments who are in charge of government affairs, and even the surrounding prefectures will form alliances. When the emperor is in charge of Qingyin, he dare not take action.
As for Qin and Wei, on the contrary, all power was concentrated in the hands of the emperor, even local military power. In order to separate the generals' military power, the generals changed their commands every three years, and the iron-clad generals were fighting for the iron barracks.
However, although there is no worries about separatism at the inside, there are external troubles. The surrounding foreign tribes of the Daqing Dynasty were eyeing each other, without internal troubles but external troubles. At the least, the people on the border suffer, and wars every year, and at the worst, the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed.
When He Sheng came back, He Nuan entered the house and saw Zhan Feiyu still thinking, but there was no word on the paper. He couldn't help but be surprised. The lady was doing her homework very quickly. It was only half an hour before she could actually be one.
I haven't even written any words. Is it too difficult for Mr. Gu to assign the homework this time?
Zhan Feiyu put down his pen and said, "A Sheng is back?"
"Yes." He Nuan responded, looked at Zhan Feiyu who had stood up and continued, "Brother's body is a little dirty. I'll reply to the lady after I clean it up."
I went to the secret stronghold of the Forbidden Dragon Guard. I was afraid that it was not dirty but stained with blood. Zhan Feiyu didn't care. He simply cleaned up his desk and "Go to the yard for a walk."
It is almost Qingming Festival. If it is in Jiangnan, it may be raining heavily. Although Longyou Road is cold, there is not much rain. After the previous heavy rain, it is estimated that there will not be rain within one or two months.
He Sheng strode over and finished washing in less than a quarter of an hour, "Miss."
"I'll prepare lunch." He Nuan spoke. Even in the government office, she didn't dare to put down her vigilance. When the elder brother came over, there was no need to worry about the lady's safety.
Zhan Feiyu walked slowly on the curved path and asked, "Did Pang Tongzhi confess?"
The prefect Zhang did not pay attention to enjoyment. The yard of the house behind the government office was sparsely forested, and there were yellow weeds beside a few rockerys that were suitable for the scenery, without any exquisiteness, but it was comfortable to stand in the sun.
He Sheng quickly glanced around and then replied in a low voice: "I have confessed, but he doesn't know much."
"It's just a fifth-grade Tongzhi, and the real secret matters will not be passed by him." Zhan Feiyu also knew this. He interrogated Pang Tongzhi to rescue Lord Yao, and also to see how much he knew.
Pang Tongzhi has always had connections with the palace, but he doesn't even know which prince he is loyal to.
Every time the person who came to contact Pang Tongzhi was disguised, and through the screen, it was late at night when a candle was lit in the room, which was no different from the darkness.
"According to what Pang Tongzhi said, the person who contacted him was an old man, with a thin body, and seemed to have been injured and a little lame. His voice was hoarse when he spoke. He didn't talk much, and he always dictated the orders from the palace.
The form is passed on to Pang Tongzhi.”
He Sheng participated in the interrogation, which was also a training for him. "If Pang Tongzhi had any needs, he only needed to write it on paper and order people to send it to the merit box of the temple on the mountain. This person is responsible for contacting the old man and sending someone to pick it up.
.”
After walking a short distance, he walked back along the garden. Zhan Feiyu sat down in the corridor, "Have he not sent anyone to check?"
Curiosity is human nature, and with Zhan Feiyu's understanding of Pang Tongzhi, he is ambitious and can only be willing to be a flag driven by others. Such passiveness is definitely not Pang Tongzhi's behavior.
Furthermore, if he didn't plan to investigate, how could Pang Tongzhi describe the old man's situation so carefully? He must have paid attention to it every time he met.
"Pang Tongzhi only sent someone to investigate the second year after contacting the other party." He Sheng had to admire Pang Tongzhi's patience and waited for more than a year.
It was because of accident that he rescued a dead soldier from the world. After the other party recovered from his injuries, he was worried that he would be chased by his enemies while walking, so he simply surrendered to Pang Tongzhi.
"The man was named Hu Baiyu, with excellent light skills. His best attitude was to investigate. Pang Tongzhi made arrangements three months in advance and let Hu Baiyu disguise himself as a monk who was placed on order live in the temple. Three months later, Pang Tongzhi sent someone to write the letter.
Thrown into the merit box with the silver notes…”
Pang Tongzhi originally planned to let Hu Baiyu follow him secretly and follow the clues to find out the identity of the old man, but unfortunately, even though he acted so carefully, he was finally exposed.
Fortunately, this was the first offense, and the old man only warned Pang Tongzhi once, but leaked Hu Baiyu's whereabouts. When Pang Tongzhi saw Hu Baiyu again, he was already a corpse.
When Zhan Feiyu heard this, he couldn't help but think of the historical topic just now. Whether it was Zhou and Tang who valued the outside but the inside was less important, or Qin and Wei who valued the outside but the inside was more important, it was all a problem of imperial power.
Although the emperor did not make a crown prince, the court had already started to stir up trouble, but was suppressed by the emperor's powerful means.
There is only one crown prince, but the other princes are also the Lord's own sons. Zhan Feiyu stared at the sky in the north. The teacher asked such a historical topic. Is it because the Lord intends to give the princes a title?
"Asheng, if the emperor appointed a crown prince, where should the other princes go?"
Hearing Zhen Feiyu's words, He Sheng subconsciously became alert, glanced around again, and confirmed that no one eavesdropped. Then he felt relieved. But this question was too difficult to answer. Not to mention He Sheng, even the minister in the court.
I guess I don't know how to answer.
After thinking for a while, He Sheng spoke: "When the Lord is in power, he will be the king first, but if he is appointed as a crown prince, he will be a father."
When an emperor, the first thing that comes to mind is imperial power, but if a father is naturally concerned about father-son family affection.
Zhan Feiyu laughed and suddenly understood the hidden truth that the teacher had obtained the historical thesis topic. "The emperor is in his prime. If he does not establish a crown prince within ten years, even if he is granted a title to other princes, it will be only a face."
If a prince is named king, he will inevitably have a fief. Although the prince of the Daqing Dynasty has a small fiefdom, it is usually a medium-sized prefecture, and the fiefdom is still managed by local officials, and the prince can receive some taxes every year.
But Zhan Feiyu knew that the princes who were granted had their own personal guards. Since ancient times, military power has represented the regime to some extent. The emperor has been reluctant to establish a crown prince, which means that he imitated the Qin and Wei dynasties. The princes who were granted had their fiefs, but the personal soldiers would not
If more than 10,000 people are at most two or three hundred.
But if the emperor cared about other sons and was worried that the new emperor would kill all his brothers after his death, it would inevitably increase the military power of other princes, and the military power of the garrison where the fief was located would also be handed over to the princes, so that they could have the capital to protect themselves.
If each prince has 20,000 or 30,000 military power, the combined five or six princes will exceed 100,000.
Not to mention the prince's foreign family, the prince's concubine's family, and the loyal family, this force is enough to compete with the new emperor in the capital.
In this way, even if the situation in the Daqing Dynasty was not as light as Zhou Tang, the outside was light and heavy inside was heavy, the new emperor could probably control only half of the current ones.
It would be fine if both sides check and balance each other, but what they fear most is that other princes join forces to force the palace, and there will definitely be internal and external troubles.
Seeing Zhan Feiyu thinking, He Sheng, who was next to him, was also thinking about Zhan Feiyu's words just now that he would not be appointed to a crown prince within ten years, which shows that the emperor is reluctant to delegate power.
Ten years later, the emperor was old and weak, but at this time he had no choice but to make a crown prince.
It is estimated that the emperor will not only guard against the enthroned princes, but may also hate them. Then he will have to support other princes to restrain the princes. Then the princes who are enfeoffed must have military power in their hands, and the Daqing Dynasty will probably be in turmoil.
...
At night, the servant who was cleaning in the living yard secretly stuffed the picked-up waste paper into a ball and put it into his sleeves, and then hurried towards the inner house.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Zimo whispered, "Step lighter, sir, just fell asleep."
Even though Lord Yao was drinking ginseng tea every day, he still got up in less than two hours of sleep. The two murder cases in Suzhou Prefecture have not been investigated yet, and the prince in the palace was involved. Even if Lord Yao closed his eyes,
But all kinds of people and things still appear in my mind, and I can't fall asleep even if I want to.
"I remember the little one, but I never dared it again." The servant spoke repeatedly, lowered his head to hide the fear and anxiety in his eyes.
