He said: "The king's most important thing is because he can bear what ordinary people can't bear."
Some nostalgia flashed across the emperor's expression, and he said: "The last emperor of the previous dynasty was not weaker than others in talent, but he was too rebellious and didn't know how to restrain himself. He thought that the world was in his hands, and he could do whatever he wanted."
"He has no tolerance for the common people, and does whatever he wants, so he doesn't take the people of the world in his heart, and he doesn't treat the common people as human beings; he also has no tolerance for the aristocratic and powerful families, and only blindly asks for..."
"But father, this time we didn't let the aristocratic family down." The prince couldn't help but snatch his father's words, "They are plotting against us."
The emperor raised his eyelids to look at him, and said: "For some people, we have reduced the selection of nine ranks of officials in recent years, and we have chosen more scholars through imperial examinations, which is to let them down."
The emperor was silent for a while, thinking that there were only their father and son in the study anyway, and said plainly: "In our Li family's view, this is the world of my Li family, but in the eyes of those aristocratic families, this world is theirs. Govern with our Li family."
He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Before, I wanted to rewrite the "Clan Records" and redefine the aristocratic family. As a result, the Cui family could not enter the court for three years. How many of the clan heads are officials in the court? But in the court Who would dare to disobey the patriarch's orders as officials?"
"And among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, how many people are in my Li clan, and how many people are in the wealthy families of each family?" The emperor said: "The emperor is rich in Kyushu, but Kyushu needs people to govern. Inspectors, Jiedushi... It is impossible for the emperor to concentrate all the affairs of the world in one person, so the world is governed by the emperor and all civil and military officials."
He said meaningfully: "When more than half of the civil and military personnel in the Manchu Dynasty come from wealthy families, then the world will be ruled by wealthy families and the emperor."
The prince opened his mouth, unable to speak.
"So no matter whether the aristocratic family has re-determined ranks, or the imperial examinations have taken up the places for nine-rank officials, in their view, it is I, Li, who is sorry for them." The emperor asked the silent prince: "You want to fight them Do you want to fight against the wealthy families of this world like the last emperor of the previous dynasty, and fight for decades?"
The prince's face paled, "Are they going to raise troops?"
The emperor said slowly: "You are going to wipe out their three clans. With the addition of swords and soldiers, they will naturally fight to the death in order to survive."
The prince thought for a while, his chest rose and fell sharply, but he still couldn't hold back his breath, and couldn't help but annoyed: "Could it be that we just let this matter go?"
"Of course not." The emperor's face also turned cold. He clicked on the list on the case and said, "Don't worry about the Yi and the other three clans. You must not be able to find out where the Zhizhi is, but it's still okay to kill chickens and monkeys."
The emperor said: "I let you endure, but I didn't let you be a turtle. If something happens, you need to open one eye and close the other eye. The closed eye pretends not to see something, but the open eye wants to see something." See the way ahead."
"Don't just talk about the barbarian clans. It will only make people think you are violent and immoral. This is a taboo for the emperor." When he was most annoyed with Wei Zhi, he only said that he would kill him, but he never said anything. Even his family members were killed.
The prince thought for a while, then came back to his senses after a while, and asked: "Then what should we do with these people, kill them all as a warning to the monkey?"
The emperor just glared at him, and couldn't think of anything other than fight or kill
The crown prince remembered after being stared at, "Why don't you find an excuse for Mr. Yin and Tang He to arrest everyone and make them all their own?"
The emperor said: "The people behind the scenes are not fools. Let Yin Li and Tang He choose one, kill some, and keep some who are willing to serve. They can not only kill chickens to scare monkeys, but also keep some spies we know."
The prince complained: "There are too many spies in the palace, so can't we find a way to find them all? Let me tell you, it's better to find one, and killing the person behind it is really an example to others."
The emperor shook his head, glanced at the crown prince and said: "Don't mention anything else, just talk about your uncle and your Yue family. Don't they have eyeliners in the palace? They can always find a way to find out what happened in the palace. Some, if you really want to ask the crime, do you want to ask them too?"
When the prince heard this, he immediately stopped talking.
The emperor said: "They may not be like the people behind Xu Yu who have trained people and sent them to the palace since childhood, but they have made friends with the servants and maids in the palace, bought them, and obtained some news from them. There must be a lot to do.”
"When I ascended the throne, your mother found an excuse to release a group of people. First, she felt sorry for those court ladies; second, it was because there were so many eyeliners in the palace at that time. Princes and people from rich families..." The emperor paused at this point, and sighed: "It was precisely because a lot of maids and servants were released from the palace at that time that people with a heart began to recruit some orphans to be trained and sent to the palace. .”
When the emperor said this, he felt a little sad. Most of the people on the list were not very old, and they should have been bought into the palace in those few years.
Regardless of whether they are outside the palace or inside the palace, these people are all his people.
They should be like Xu Yu, from the moment they were taken in, their fate was beyond their control.
Thinking of this, the emperor raised his head to look at the prince, and said earnestly, "Dalang, don't underestimate anyone in this world. Look at Xu Yu, she's just a servant girl. Perhaps in the eyes of you and the people behind her, she's not even a human being." It doesn't count."
"But it was her," the emperor said, pointing to the list on the table, "he stabbed them hard, and this knife can ruin their business for many years."
The emperor hadn't felt this feeling for a long time, and he only felt this way when he was young and on the battlefield.
Because no one knew who's knife, whose arrow, or where a stray arrow flew could kill him, so he never dared to underestimate anyone at that time.
But after being in power for many years, the emperor had long forgotten that feeling.
The prince lowered his eyes and thought, if Zhou Man hadn't been sensitive and had noticed something strange early on, she had really used that set of poisonous needles, and if the princess and the child had an accident, not only Zhou Man's head would be lost, but he would also be hurt. It's a shock, you know, he is in urgent need of a child now.
Once something happened to his child, not only the third child, but even the other younger brothers would be concerned.
The prince opened his mouth at this thought, hesitated for a while, but still didn't say anything.
The emperor glanced at him, and felt a little satisfied. The child finally learned the truth that some words should not be said.
So he waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't worry about this matter, the Imperial Medical Office is about to open, and there are also freshmen from the feudal state at the Guozijian who want to enroll. You should worry about it, and leave this matter to Yin Li."
When Yin Li came over, the emperor said what the prince had left to say, "Focus on checking the fifth prince's mother's family."
