You must know that during the Wanli period, because the eldest son of the emperor went out of the cabinet to study and set up the crown prince, there were a lot of storms, which also made the emperor Wanli very unhappy.Therefore, in the current Apocalypse Dynasty, the ministers have a tacit understanding that they did not mention the matter of establishing the crown prince, because everyone knows that the emperor is much more ruthless than Wanli, and if he is really unhappy because of this matter, it is not as simple as degrading the official and dismissing him.However, the ministers didn't expect Fang Congzhe to take the initiative.Because the implication of letting the emperor's eldest son go out of the cabinet to study is to let the emperor make a prince and start cultivating successors.Zhu Youxiao raised his forehead and said: "The education of the prince must be paid attention to, not only the eldest son of the emperor, but if Yuanfu mentions this, then this matter will also be discussed at that time." ”Fang Congzhe was stunned.The Emperor's answer surprised him.He guessed that although the current emperor is harsh, he is indeed a promising monarch with a sense of the overall situation, which is different from Wanli in essence, and will not ignore the importance of the education of the successor and the prince.But he didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor did not plan to appoint a crown prince, but said that he should pay close attention to the education of the princes."
Your Majesty is really ruthless!
Now he is also ruthless to the princes!
It's just that in the future, the ministers don't want to rely on the prince to contend with His Majesty. ”Fang Congzhe quickly understood, and couldn't help but feel relieved.Zhu Youxiao really plans to be stricter in the education of the princes, and even let them form internal competition.The reason is very simple, Daming really needs an excellent successor to the throne.But whether the successor is excellent or not is not taught according to a certain standard, but compared.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao intends to let the princes receive a very good education, and also form internal competition.As for the problem that this will make the brothers turn against each other and turn against each other.Zhu Youxiao did not decide to give up this idea because of this, because he knew that if the competition within the Heavenly Family was not cruel, then the future heir to the throne would definitely not be good at dealing with the more complicated struggles of the court.To get a certain privilege comes a certain price."
As for the commercial tax, in the sense of servant, we must wait until the completion of the military reform to increase the levy, otherwise, once the commercial tax is increased on a large scale, it will only cause mutiny everywhere."
The court discussion on the increase in commercial tax was held first, and Fang Congzhe spoke his opinion first.And Yuan Keli said: "It's okay, but the commercial tax must be changed, anyway, the imperial court can't just focus on agriculture to increase revenue." ”"But it can't be delayed for too long, in Bi's opinion, you can also pilot it first, such as starting from Beijing and Ningbo, one of these two places is the concentration of commerce and trade in the north, and the other is the concentration of commerce and trade in the south, which can be regarded as accumulating experience in the future in the country to levy commercial taxes."
Bi Ziyan echoed and said, he is also from the gentry class, and Yuan Keli naturally stands on the same front, so he took the initiative to suggest a pilot in Beijing and Ningbo, but the former Zhejiang party officials who had a close relationship with Fang Congzhe have the shadow of Ningbo giant businessmen behind them, in addition, the Fang family's industry is now mainly concentrated in the capital, so it is obvious that Bi Ziyan is targeting Fang Congzhe, which can be regarded as revenge on Fang Congzhe's actions against the interests of their civil gentry and not on his own business gentry."
The pilot project has to wait for the officials and gentry to pay for food and the end of the errand, and then talk about it, step by step."
Wei Guangwei helped Fang Congzhe say a word at this time.After Zhu Youxiao heard this, he had to admit that the contradiction between the officials with the background of the commercial gentry and the officials with the background of the civilian gentry was really intensifying."
The matter of commercial taxes will be discussed here first, and then let's talk about the education of the prince."
Zhu Youxiao commanded at this time."
Yes!"
Fang Congzhe replied, and said: "The education of the prince, from the perspective of the minister, is different from the education of the scholar, the prince will either be a prince or a nobleman in the future, and he needs to be cultivated more strictly and comprehensively, otherwise it is easy to lose the dignity of the noble status, and it will also affect the dignity of the court, and it is not conducive to the continuation of the society." ”"That's right, the princes are naturally taught more strictly, more practical, not only to learn, but also to learn martial arts, to complete the six arts, to learn, you have to use the old scholars, not to use the new scholars, the old scholars are more knowledgeable, and experienced, it is easier to make the prince learn true knowledge, and because of the old more calm and humble, it is easy to make the prince easier to grow old, and the new scholars are talented and high, but most of them are young and vigorous, eager to progress, and keen on court politics, it is inevitable to instigate the prince to be impetuous, without calmness; If you want to learn martial arts, you must not only learn the art of physical fitness, archery, horsemanship, etc., but also learn the art of war, so that in the future, the royal nobles can take on more responsibilities for the empire. ”Zhu Youxiao said at this time.Fang Congzhe and some of the ministers who liked His Majesty the Emperor's establishment of the crown prince as much as he liked all smiled a little awkwardly.Because, they didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor really only took this opportunity to talk about the education of the princes, not the foundation of the country, and what many of their ministers did not expect was that His Majesty the Emperor planned to educate all the princes in a more comprehensive way, and it seemed that they were all cultivating on the path of the emperor."
Is this to make all the princes in the future have the heart to win the heir?"
Wei Guangwei, like Fang Congzhe, also realized this at this time.Of course, not only Wei Guangwei, but also the ministers present quickly realized this.After all, everyone is not stupid."
Your Majesty!
The royal nobles are both in charge of military affairs, but the most important thing at the moment is the education of the eldest son of the emperor. ”Gu Bingqian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, reported at this time.Like Fang Congzhe and other merchant gentry, he hoped that it would be better for the emperor to establish the crown prince, so that they would directly stand on the side of the prince, and plan for the future now, as long as the prince conforms to the image of the monarch in their minds, they may change the king."
I admit that the eldest son of the emperor is the eldest son, and according to the general ethics, it is more suitable to be the prince, but the general ethics are the will of the saints, not the will of heaven!
Naturally, the king chosen by the saint is not necessarily chosen by the mandate of heaven, I am the mandate of heaven, and only the prince I finally choose is the choice of the mandate of heaven!
Therefore, it is too early to say whether the eldest son of the emperor can be the future monarch!
If there is anyone who separates the eldest son of the emperor from the other princes, he will be beheaded for the crime of a private prince!
”As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, Gu Bingqian was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled to the ground: "The minister doesn't dare!"
The minister is just, just confused for a while, but now fortunately His Majesty mentioned something, he understands, and asks His Majesty for forgiveness!
”"Get up!
I won't punish you for not teaching, what I'm talking about is that next, if anyone dares to harbor evil intentions again, don't blame me for being rude!
”Zhu Youxiao was not angry and arrogant.
