Chapter 1656 The first conspiracy throughout the ages!
The originally tense and solemn atmosphere was dispelled at this moment, which is indeed a relatively lively topic.
As long as they are nobles, there are no wives and concubines, and therefore there are many descendants, especially the princes and kings, which has also formed a common phenomenon.
King Xiang Ji looked arrogant. He was indeed outstanding in this regard and was worth showing off. He was well-known in the circle.
Some people are also wondering why Wang Kang suddenly mentioned this matter.
Is it to get in touch with them?
It's possible.
Speaking of this, the atmosphere is indeed much more relaxed.
On the contrary, Xiang Baichuan looked suspicious. If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. It must be less simple than that...
Wang Kang continued: "The ban on the country is inherited by the eldest son, so what should we do with the other descendants?"
Everyone looked at each other, what are you doing about this issue?
Other descendants who have outstanding talents can stay in the family to serve, but most of them are useless. After a period of time, the family will become lost in the public.
With generations of accumulation, there are too many descendants like this. Not to mention the sidelines, there are many direct families that are no different from ordinary people. They live a poor life with the minimum living security provided by the family.
All they have is just an identity.
It looks glamorous, but it is actually very bitter.
Origin is destined.
This is the system of inheritance of the eldest son.
Wang Kang continued: "Of course I know the actual situation, because the eldest son inherits it, it is quite unfair to other children in the family."
"Unfair? What's unfair?"
"Yes, isn't this normal?"
The crowd became even more confused.
But Wang Kang didn't care about these words and said, "So, I decided to issue a law to change this situation. This law is called the Order of Forgiveness!"
"Agreed order?"
"Agreed order?"
Hearing this, everyone was puzzled.
This is a completely unfamiliar word and has never appeared in their impression.
Promise?
What does this mean?
I don't understand at all.
It is said that it is specially set up for the offspring other than the eldest son, so I don’t quite understand it.
However, Xiang Baichuan's face became more and more suspicious, and he had a bad premonition.
Wang Kang would never be so kind-hearted.
The princes and court officials were all talking.
"Agreed order?"
At this moment, Jiang Chengli and Murong Zhao whispered at the same time in the place behind Fengtian Palace, looking at each other, and seeing the doubts in each other's eyes.
"Is this how Wang Kang can easily dismantle the power of the princes?"
"I haven't heard of it."
"Let him hear what he says next."
"Um."
Today they came to attend the court meeting.
The reason why they stayed until now is because Wang Kang said that it made them very curious...
At this time, there were endless discussions in the hall, and it was noisy.
"quiet!"
The eunuch shouted in time.
Silence is gone.
Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "Based on the basis of the inheritance system of the eldest son, all the princes and kings can recommend private favors and enfeoffed children as marquises. These children are what we just mentioned. They should also have fiefs and titles, so that they can ensure that they have a good life and will not destroy the feudal system. In fact, it is the embodiment of the feudal system, which is the order to enfeoff the favor!"
"Everyone, has this order been issued to solve many problems for you? It also solved the troubles caused by your large number of descendants?"
Wang Kang asked with a smile.
However, the princes and court officials in the hall changed drastically and did not say a word.
In addition to the eldest son, he was granted the title of land for the illegitimate children.
It seems that the superiors are rewarded, but in fact they are actually divided into the country, and they will be weakened without cutting them...
Everyone present is not a fool, and can figure it out in an instant.
Private seal means private sealing.
The vassal state is so big, but they have too many descendants.
Branch and side systems are not women, at least there are more than a dozen.
With so many people sealed it, the vassal states became fragmented. The key is that the children of the tribes were divided into vassals.
The marquis are the so-called marquis states. The marquis states belong to counties and are equivalent to counties. They are under the jurisdiction of the court. They invisibly decompose the marquis states and expand the scope of the monarchy’s control!
With this move alone, even the most powerful vassal state would collapse instantly!
This is the order to give in!
Everyone looked at Wang Kang in horror, and at this moment, they didn't care about any politeness or etiquette.
"This...this..."
Some princes and kings trembled constantly.
The most proud Ji Wang Xiang, who was just now, looked as pale as paper at this moment, so how could he be as proud as before?
He has the most offspring. If this is true, the fence he actually controls will be gone, and only a small piece is left.
The same is true for Xiang Baichuan.
Wang Kang was not telling a lie. If this order was promulgated and implemented, it would indeed be possible to easily abolish all the vassal states...
"No, this definitely won't work!"
Some princes spoke in surprise, but they were already losing their temper.
The previous laughter disappeared in an instant.
"Why not?"
Wang Kang asked in confusion: "Isn't this a feudal system? Is this harmful to your interests? In the feudal country, you are still the biggest king. This is the meaning of private seal. Besides, the fiefdom is given to your descendants, not to the court."
"You know, I'm showing kindness!"
The crowd was speechless and didn't know where to refute.
Wang Kang's calm words made them feel a sensation of bone chill!
This is the cleverness of the order to promote grace.
You can't find any room for refutation, everything is under the rules, and it is indeed a reflection of the feudal system.
But it is the most toxic strategy.
Grateful!
It's indeed a kindness.
All the sects who were originally nothing had a title, even if they were just a small part, even if they were just marquises.
But it is still a guarantee.
After breaking the monopoly of the eldest son, I believe that these gangs will be grateful to Wang Kang, even those who are fathers will not be able to influence them.
In the face of major interests, what is family affection?
What's more, in these huge royal families, there are too many descendants and family affection is extremely indifferent.
If they don’t implement it, these sects at home will be in trouble!
This is to ask them to shoot themselves in the foot. They know what the consequences will be, but they can only bear it!
ruthless!
It's really too cruel!
The courtiers also looked at Wang Kang in horror.
What kind of talent is this Majesty? How could this be so good?
The reduction of the vassal states is an eternal topic. All emperors of all dynasties were worried about it, but there was no good idea. Now it was broken just because of one decree!
This is a family-defeated plan!
Looking at their expressions, Wang Kang was not surprised.
The most open plot in the ages is not a waste of fame!
But he made changes to the original order to give favor.
The eldest son, the second son, and the third son were inherited, and he changed it to all.
Because it was too slow and it took a certain amount of time, he couldn't wait.
Chapter completed!
