Chapter 1177

The system of succession to the throne is related to the long-term stability of a dynasty. Everyone is very cautious.

Zhang Yu looked at the crowd and took a sip of tea before he said, "there is no system of establishing a leader or a direct son in this dynasty. My son is my son, and there is no direct son."

"The heir to the throne, only the right person to live in it."

Zhang Yu was about to abolish the eldest son inheritance system, which lasted for thousands of years.

However, people think it's normal. Zhang Yu has always broken the tradition.

He has broken too many things. It seems that there is no big problem for Zhang Yu to break the tradition again this time.

It's not clear whether it's good or bad to break the system of eldest son succession. But with the imperial edict, there should be no confusion.

At least now Zhang Yu is here, and he is a very powerful emperor. If there is a problem, he can correct it in time.

It's the right person to live in, not the able person to live in, and it's nothing else.

Appropriate. It's a matter of consideration.

Zhang Yu went on to say: "the royal family's children can't be supported by the Empire. They can be ordinary people, can farm, can do business, but they are directly related to the emperor within three generations. They can't be officials except in special circumstances."

"The descendants of the royal family, within two generations, can be supported by a certain amount of Royal funds. After two generations, they must stand on their own. Neither the royal family nor the Empire will help them."

Zhang Yu is strict with his descendants.

He thought of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had more than a dozen sons. But later, the royal family grew to more than 100000 people. These people were distributed all over the country. They had a lot of land and had fiefs. They became moths and did great harm.

These Royal descendants can completely bring down an empire, which is not alarmist, but inevitable.

The same is true in Manchu and Qing Dynasties. The children of eight banners take most of the money from the national treasury every year. If they don't do anything all day, they will be domineering and lead to the weakness of the Empire.

Zhang Yu does not allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, he wanted the royal family to be the same as the ordinary family.

Their descendants gradually separated from the royal family and became ordinary people.

Zhang Yu said: "my descendants are not allowed to have any fiefdoms in China. They are not allowed to have any fiefdoms in overseas, Southeast China or Fusang. If they are barren overseas, they are willing to conquer them. They can get some help from the Royal fund."

If Zhang Yu wants them to be separated from the royal family, he will not crown them and let them inherit from generation to generation.

More regulations have been formulated for Zhang Yu. Cabinet members feel that Zhang Yu is too harsh on the royal family.

From ancient times to the present, the royal family should have preferential treatment.

There is nothing wrong with conferring titles and lands on them, and there is even a state within a state.

But Zhang Yu doesn't want to do this. His descendants will have some promising people.

Later, the royal family members, perhaps hundreds of thousands of people, were corroded, so there would be no promising people.

Or because of the sensitive identity of the royal family, they did not dare to do anything, so they were afraid of being raided by the emperor at that time.

Without the royal family, future generations can do what they want to do, which is better for them.

Of course, poor people, just like ordinary people, can't work and farm.

"Well, there are only 20 systems in total. You should study them carefully and continue to improve them. If there is no problem, it will be announced after a while. After the announcement, there is no place to implement these systems now, and if you find any problems, you can modify them in time."

Zhang Yu has a hard heart for the royal family. His descendants can give them a good starting point.

As for wanting more, try to do it yourself.

In fact, if not, it would be very dangerous for them. The ancient emperors were suspicious of others and killed many royal descendants.

In the Han Dynasty, how many descendants of Liu Bang were killed by Lu Zhi, and how many royal family members were killed by Wu Zetian. Later people also killed many people.

Therefore, if Zhang Yu directly separated them from the royal family, they would not be killed on a large scale.

Zhang Yu worked out these systems and let the cabinet continue to study them to fill the loopholes.

"In three days, a meeting will be held to deal with the military and political affairs."

Zhang Yu's focus is still on military and political affairs. He must have a unified strategy for Liu Bei and Ma Teng as soon as possible.

After all, there are too many wars in the Empire, so we need to rest.

But also need large-scale construction, also need to guard against the west, so Zhang Yu just pause attack, first firm down.

In fact, Zhang Yu can kill Ma Teng right now. It's still possible for millions of troops to drive straight in.

But in that way, communication with the West would be cut off. The silk road is very important to Zhangyu, which can mobilize the development of the whole industry and stimulate the whole country to work hard.

If Zhang Yu wants to promote one innovation after another, he needs to have a foreign enemy. When there are foreign enemies, Zhang Yu can maintain a strong military force and divert people's attention.

Foreign enemies are always more serious than internal problems. At the critical moment, they must be united in external relations.

Even, once there is an uncontrollable situation in the process of innovation, Zhang Yu can have an excuse to send troops, or even directly launch an attack on the West. At that time, the whole country will unite with the outside world. If there is an excuse, Zhang Yu can kill him.

If we keep Ma Teng and the west, as long as we have enough preparation, we can become the driving force for the development of the Empire.

The news about Zhang Yu's succession to the royal family still spread, of course, it was Zhang Yu himself.

This can stabilize the public. The system will be introduced in the near future. People are looking forward to it. No matter what the result is, there is a result.

Many of my relatives were most concerned. The MI family, Qiao family and Zhen family were all big merchants, and they were also very concerned.

His daughter can't be an emperor. If the prince can be a king, it will be of great benefit to them.

Zhang Yu was afraid of such a thing. These big businessmen would never dare to do anything when they were there, but after several generations, they might use their privileges to do a lot of things.

News out, waiting for the results, Zhang Yu is now very strong, and not afraid of opposition, opposition, under his army, can only be annihilated.

"Well, for a long time, I really can't go out of Beijing."

When these policies are made public, Zhang Yu will be in the capital. It's really not suitable to go out of Beijing, depending on the local conditions.

Three days later, Zhang Yu held a cabinet meeting again, this time to discuss the war against the West and Liu Bei.

Three days later, Zhang Yu's rules about the imperial court spread quickly. There was a storm outside. They all looked at Zhang Yu.

However, Zhang Yu is indifferent. He can deal with whatever he needs to deal with. He holds a cabinet meeting to deal with things in the West.
