Emperor Xiang Yanran glanced at Cai and the eunuch, and said lightly: "Why are you laughing at?"

"I thought to myself, it turns out that only the emperor can suppress the prince. If you take the weight lightly, you will make the prince and the Eastern Palace obey and you will never jump up again."

Cai and the eunuch hurriedly said.

"Singer, don't you go and collect the bamboo slips!"

“Yes!”

Cai and the eunuch quickly went down from the palace and brought a bunch of bamboo slips up.

Xiang Yanran looked around casually.

Seeing a bunch of vulgar political comments, such as "born from worries and dying from happiness", "politics are diligent, and you always look at yourself, so you will naturally be worry-free." A bunch of gorgeous words are spreading.

The emperor was very upset.

A bunch of nonsense can't solve any problem.

Suddenly, he saw a volume of "The Strategy for Reducing the Vastrous Powers", Chao Fangzheng", and the emperor frowned.

This countermeasure is as sharp as a knife, pointing to the disaster of the princes.

"Now, if it is cut, it will be reversed, if it is cut, it will be reversed. If it is cut, it will be more difficult, and if it is cut, it will be less disaster."

In a word, it is better to reduce the vassals early than to reduce the vassals later!

I am willing to reduce the vassals for Your Majesty!

Xiang Yanran showed a hint of mockery.

Are those princes so easy to cut?

A small Chu family, Hunhou, took advantage of the debt lawsuit in the Hunhou Mansion, and finally seized the opportunity to cut the Hunhou Marquis' position.

As a result, Empress Dowager Shen was obstructed.

This slash of titles has become a marriage partner at home.

The Marquis of Hun was gone after... The Marquis of Hun shook his body and fled to Prince Ping's Mansion to hide.

In the whole year, I took advantage of the situation and cut off a single and lonely Marquis.

Besides the Hunhou Mansion, who else has been cut?

It is so difficult to cut a monarch, let alone how much effort it takes to cut a monarch.

King Wu, King Chu, King Zhao, King Jinan... These seven or eight people are connected together, separating one side, rich in money and food, raising tens of thousands of soldiers, dominating the land of several counties, and communicating with each other.

If a prince is cut off, a group of people will be alarmed immediately. There is no need to move hundreds of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress it?

How much military and treasury money and grain will be consumed?

I have been thinking about it for more than ten years and have finally accumulated a fortune. I want to stay and deal with the Huns, so I will be wiped out immediately.

How many ministers in the court supported the reduction of the vassal states? If this bamboo slip was placed in the morning court, it would be sure to be spitted to death by the ministers and executed by the swearing ministers.

It is really a pedantic view of the scholar.

"Understanding!"

Xiang Yanran threw the bamboo slip in the distance.

But after thinking about it, he instructed Cai He to pick up the bamboo slips.

Although this is the opinion of a scholar, it is also a rare person who dares to speak out.

The countermeasures of more than 100 scholars in the hall and the Jinling clans were all rhetoric, gorgeous, soft and light, and none of them dared to say anything useful.

There are many praises and praises. There is nothing to expect to count on these scholars.

In the future, there will be one day when the princes have to "move" and someone under their command will do this work.

Since Chao Fangzheng was arrogant and dared to write "The Strategies for Reducing the Vastrous Powers", he was quite bold and dared to say that he dared to do it. He was a sharp knife, which might be of some use to keep him in the future.

"Chang Fangzheng, evaluate the best!"

Xiang Yanran looked calm and casually placed the "Strategy for Slashing the Void" on the throne stage. Then he asked: "What's the news on the King of Wu?"

Cai and the eunuch bowed, quickly revised the grade of Chao Fangzheng, and replied in a low voice: "The King of Wu recently sent several boxes of gold and silver gifts to the old slave... He said he hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, and he missed him very much. He wanted to pay homage to the emperor at the palace banquet held in the first month."

"Oh, the King of Wu is becoming more and more generous. Does he miss me? Or do he want to find an opportunity to meet the Empress Dowager, so he needs the protection of the Empress Dowager?! Can I let him enter the palace and get what he wants? No!"

Xiang Yanran sneered: "But... it's not that the King of Wu feels uneasy, blames me for being mean and rude, and has aroused strange thoughts.

I will give him a decree, and I will be kind to him and the other kings to enter Jinling City to attend the Qinhuai River Lantern Festival and have fun with the people.

After the Lantern Festival, you will return to the fiefdom on the same route and you will not be allowed to stay in the imperial city."

Cai and the eunuch hesitated for a moment.

Isn’t this a legitimate way for the princes to find an opportunity to get together? But the emperor had his own ideas when he gave such an order, and he hurriedly said, “Yes!”

...

Xiang Yanran was looking through other strategies for the Jianshu one after another.

He was quite satisfied and read it carefully several times, including the master's father Yan's "The Great Unification Strategy" and Dong Xianliang's "Dethroning All Schools and Respecting Confucianism alone".

What it says makes sense.

Only by unification can he relieve his worries.

Respecting Confucianism alone and unify its thoughts is a good way to unify countless political programs with chaotic ideas.

People's hearts are in chaos and they are dispersed. People's hearts are united and Mount Tai moves!

However, he has been using the "Huang Lao Art" to govern over the years, and most of the ministers in the court were Huang Lao ministers, and they also practice Confucianism, law, Taoism, and Yin and Yang.

There are only a handful of Confucian officials.

The minister led by the Three Duke Censor Kong Hanyou is a Confucian master who is dedicated to promoting Confucianism.

In addition, the nine ministers' Taichang Lu Zi, the doctor's order Cui Haoran, and the Shaofu Xiao Gongwang were also great scholars. However, it is hard to say how much support he has for "respecting Confucianism alone".

Most of the nine ministers are not great scholars, and it is difficult to respect Confucianism alone.

"Dong Xianliang, Master Yan, You are the best!"

Xiang Yanran threw these two countermeasures on the throne stage and put them there first. Then he looked back and thought carefully to see how feasible it was.

Then, he picked up another bamboo slip.

"The Strategy forbidden Private Crushing of Coins", Chu Tianxiu!

Xiang Yanran suddenly had a cold light flashing in his eyes, and he narrowed his eyes.

This countermeasure surprised him a little.

If someone else had used this countermeasure and criticized privately for casting copper coins, he wouldn't be too surprised.

Why is Xiaohunhou?

Could it be that I was sad and confused when I sat for a long time?

The emperor read it carefully again... Yes, it was true that Chu Tianxiu wrote "The Forbidden to Form a Private Coin" and thought for a while and said, "Let Xiaohunhou come up, I have something to ask him!"

Cai He and the eunuch immediately stepped down from the palace and called Chu Tianxiu to the palace.

Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but look overjoyed. The emperor actually summoned him in the hall. This clearly felt that his countermeasure was too good, and this was a good omen!

In the entire palace examination, only the prince Xiang Tiange had this honor, and went to the palace to listen to the holy words with his ears.

ha!

This little marquis has obtained the "excellent" of this little marquis! Wait for this little marquis to become a high-ranking official and become a prosperous person!

In the Golden Palace, Chu Tianxiu followed Cai He to the hall in a hurry.

Chu Tianxiu bowed to the emperor and asked with a smile on his face: "I bow to the emperor! The emperor still has doubts about the "Order forbidden Private Forging of Copper Coins". I can tell you the details in detail."

"You have already written this book in detail, and you can see it at a glance."

Xiang Yanran asked strangely: "I am just a little confused. Have you dug the copper mine in Hunhou Mansion?... So, don't you want other families to dig it?"

Chu Tianxiu's face froze and was full of surprise.

Uh...wait.

What's the meaning?!

What the emperor means is that there is a copper mine in the Hunhou Mansion?

Damn, why didn't he know about this?

Isn’t it a waste of my father’s wife?

Chu Tianxiu immediately knelt on the ground decisively and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, my nonsense is unbearable. Please withdraw your countermeasures!"

Cai and the eunuch were beside him, laughing and couldn't help saying, "Don't be anxious if you are young... The copper mine in your fiefdom has been dug for so many years, and it is probably a waste mine and you can't dig much copper. Otherwise, you wouldn't have owed King Ping 100,000 taels and you can't pay off your debt."

Is that true?

Chu Tianxiu blinked, opened her mouth, and breathed a little relieved.
