Chapter 1127： Suggest

   "Fiefdom?" Mu Yangling's eyes widened, "Didn't Emperor Sejong of the previous dynasty no longer subordinate vassal kings?"

"The former dynasty is the former dynasty, and this dynasty is the current dynasty," Qi Haoran said: "If the former dynasty had a vassal king guarding the border, Dajin and Xixia would not have the ability to occupy a large area of ​​my country."

Mu Yangling disagreed and said, "Da Zhou will lose a large area of ​​the country because Emperor Gaozong moved his army inward, instead of defending against foreign enemies, but guarding against the people, and after Emperor Sejong's emphasis on civil and military forces, unscrupulous generals in the army were available. Does the feudal king have a half-penny relationship?"

After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he abolished the enfeoffment system and changed it to the county system. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the enfeoffment system was adopted again, but it is also very different from the previous one. It belongs to the combination of enfeoffment and county. For thousands of years, although the feudal system has always existed, it has been weakened. Until the previous emperor Sejong, he abolished the vassal monarchy system. The princes in the dynasty could enter the dynasty as officials, but they no longer divided the vassal lands, and the new emperor ascended the throne. In the past, so the prince had to stay in the capital and could not leave the capital.

Mu Yangling didn’t think it was right for Sejong to restrict the growth of royal children, but it was absolutely right that he abolished the feudal monarchy.

The existence of the    feudal monarchy can easily split a country. The Han and Jin Dynasties are two living examples.

Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran said: "People's selfishness will inflate, Haoran, I don't agree with the feudal lands, Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong have a good relationship, even if they don't fight for power, what about their descendants? If you want to cut power, if you want to get more power, Daqi will be in chaos. The Han and Tang Dynasties have been trying to weaken the power of the vassal kings for hundreds of years. Emperor Sejong even risked his life to abolish the vassal monarchy system. Are we going to go back now? In the end, is it even worse than the Han Dynasty a thousand years ago?"

Qi Haoran frowned, he really didn't think about it that much. He is the younger brother of the eldest brother, and he also has military achievements. It is natural to be named a prince, and it is also necessary to be named a wealthy fief, but A Ling said that this system , his perception is wrong.

Mu Yangling knew that this was not something he could accept once he said it, so he hurriedly turned around and sent the children to sleep, and then turned around and led him into the room to talk about it in detail.

In history, there have been countless cases of state chaos or weakening of state power due to the slashing of vassal states and the turmoil of vassal kings. Mu Yangling didn’t need to read the history books, he came almost with his mouth open, she said: “The struggle for power has never been broken, and the Qi family The descendants are also mortals, and they will also fight for power and profit, and Emperor Sejong did a good job, directly cutting off the capital of their chaotic country."

Qi Haoran said displeased: "Then my descendants of Qi's family are like the Dazhou royal family who are so useless and lead the family's salary to live? Then after the five generations, I became a commoner, maybe not even a Liu Xuande who sold straw shoes."

"That's also because they are so incompetent," Mu Yangling said: "They are born into the royal family, they have so many more resources and advantages than others, but they are still mixed up like this. My suggestion is that we should not restrict the imperial family's children from imperial examinations and business. And join the army, no matter what they want to do, they have to fight with the common people.”

"After the second generation, if you want to be an official, you will participate in the imperial examinations, compete with scholars all over the world, if you want to do business, you have to pay taxes, you have to obey the law, you can join the army, three hundred and sixty lines, so many Which industry can’t do? They were born in the royal family, they can receive a good education since childhood, and they have connections and resources that others don’t have. Don't blame us."

Qi Haoran looked at his wife speechlessly.

Mu Yangling continued: "Don't listen to me, think about it, how big is the entire Daqi, you have a prince occupying a large area of ​​Taiyuan, and the emperor has six sons, in addition to Xiaobao, you have to go out. If you seal five princes, even if their fiefs are not as big or as rich as yours, they will still be in five counties. When Xiaobao becomes emperor, he will have a group of children and seal off quite a few counties. As a result, it won't take a few generations. Unless the prince who is sealed out changes his sons and grandchildren, the emperor will be sealed after a few generations. What can he do? He can only think of cutting down the vassal, and the vassal king will be willing to take it. Will the interests be handed over? Daqi will be in chaos again by then."

These are things that have happened again and again in history. The Five Kingdoms Rebellion during the Han Dynasty is the most famous representative.

Seeing Qi Haoran's gloomy face, Mu Yangling continued: "And this is only one of the main contradictions, and the secondary contradictions are the disputes between the princes in the vassal, the battles between the vassal states, and the interests of the vassal kings, local officials and people. Because of a vassal monarchy, how much trouble is this big Qi adding to it?"

Seeing Qi Haoran drooping his eyes and thinking deeply, Mu Yangling stopped disturbing his thinking, untied his hair and lay beside him, yawned and said, "I still say that, children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren, and we have given them the avenue. When the trip is flat, they just want to bump into each other on the road and we can't do anything about it, and our family has all the money and power, as long as we live happily, there is really no need to get a fief to work hard, so Don't want this territorial land."

Qi Haoran took a long time to say: "Didn't we break the children's ambitions?"

Mu Yangling heard it in a daze, and said vaguely: "Are Daqi so big and they still can't show their ambitions?"

Qi Haoran stayed up all night. The next day, he ran into the bear's room with dark circles and dug him up. He looked at him seriously and asked, "Wen Jin, if your father refuses to hold the land, will you blame your father?"

Xiaoxiong fell into a daze, subconsciously feeling that his father was testing him, and immediately reflexively said: "The system of feudal feudalism was abolished when Qin Shihuang was the first emperor of Qin, and the system of vassal kings was abolished by the previous emperor Sejong, Daddy, you want me to write" "The Adverse Effects of the Enfeoffment System and the Feudal Crown System"?"

Qi Haoran: "..."

Qi Haoran looked at his glaring son, and pressed his son to the bed with his fingers.

Qi Haoran turned around and entered the palace.

Today's morning court is very crowded. As long as everyone who is qualified to go to court will come to join in the fun, according to the news from the palace yesterday, today's court meeting may produce the first prince and vassal king of Daqi. Everyone really wants to join in the fun.

Qi Xiuyuan has already decided to reward the biggest heroes for meritorious deeds today, so his face is beaming, and all the ministers are beaming when they see it. This battle to destroy gold can be said to be a great victory, not only regaining lost ground , and also got most of Daikin's belongings.

After this award, the palace will definitely hold a palace banquet, and their sons (daughters) are getting older, so they can also communicate with each other.

Qi Xiuyuan's awards from low to high, Rong Xuan made great contributions to the prince's supervisory state this time, and was awarded the title of Taishi and two generations of jue, which means that the first Duke of Wei can stay on the duke for three generations and then descend to wait for the rank.

And Fan Zijin was promoted to the title of Prince Anjun from Duke Anguo, and he was hereditary.

Qi Xiuyuan asked Qi Haoran, "Yesterday I chose Taiyuan as a fief for you. You don't like it. Now you can choose a fief?"

All the ministers looked at Qi Haoran.

Qi Haoran came out with a sullen face, cupped his hands and said, "Report to the emperor, this minister does not want to fief."

The smile on Qi Xiuyuan's face gradually disappeared, and he frowned at him.

Qi Haoran raised his head slightly and said, "The vassal monarchy has been abolished since Emperor Sejong of the previous dynasty. I personally think that this is a very good move, and the vassal monarchy should be permanently abolished."
