Chapter 1180 Inheritance System
The throne succession system is related to the long-term stability of a dynasty, and everyone is very cautious.
Zhang Yu looked at the crowd, took a sip of tea, and said, "This dynasty does not have a system of appointing elders or legitimate sons. My sons are my sons, and there is no distinction between direct and concubine."
"The heir to the throne, only the right one will live there."
Zhang Yu wanted to abolish the eldest son inheritance system at once, which had lasted for thousands of years.
However, everyone felt that this was normal, Zhang Yu had always broken the tradition.
He has already broken too many things, so this time Zhang Yu breaks any tradition again, and it doesn't seem to be a big problem.
It is not known whether it is good or bad to break the eldest son inheritance system, and everyone does not know, but there should be no chaos due to the edict of succession.
At least now that Zhang Yu is here, and he is a very powerful emperor, he can correct any problems in time.
This is where the suitable person lives, not the capable person, nor anything else.
Appropriate, this is a more considerate thing.
Zhang Yu went on to say: "Children of the royal family cannot be supported by the empire. They can be ordinary people and can farm and do business. However, they are direct relatives of the emperor within three generations. Except for special circumstances, they are not allowed to be officials."
"The descendants of the royal family can receive a certain amount of support from the royal fund within two generations. After two generations, they must be independent. Neither the royal family nor the empire will support them."
Zhang Yu is more 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 number of royal family members grew to 10,000+.
These descendants of the royal family can completely bring down an empire. This is not alarmist talk, but inevitable.
The same is true of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The Eight Banners raised by them took most of the money from the national treasury every year, and they would do nothing all day long, and they would act like a domineering, making the empire extremely weak.
Zhang Yu did not allow such a thing to happen.
Therefore, he wants the royal descendants to be like ordinary people.
His descendants gradually left the royal family and became ordinary people.
Zhang Yu said again: "My descendants are not allowed to have any fiefdoms in Huaxia, nor are they allowed overseas, the southeast region, or Fusang. If it is a barren overseas land and is willing to conquer it, a certain amount can be given from the royal family fund. help."
Zhang Yu wants them to break away from the royal family, so naturally he will not give them the title of king and let them inherit it from generation to generation.
Zhang Yu formulated more systems, and the cabinet members felt that Zhang Yu was too harsh on the royal family.
From ancient times to the present, the royal family should have preferential treatment.
There is nothing wrong with giving them titles or lands, and they can even have a country within a country.
But Zhang Yu didn't want to do this, and his descendants would also have some promising people.
And the later members of the royal family, probably tens of thousands of people, were all corrupted, and no promising people would come out.
Or because of the sensitive status of the royal family, they dare not do anything, because they are afraid of being ransacked by the emperor at that time.
After leaving the royal family, the descendants of future generations can do what they want, which is even better for them.
Of course, those who do not do well are just like ordinary people. If it is really not good, they can still work and farm.
"Okay, there are only more than 20 systems in total. You should study them carefully and continue to improve them. If there are no problems, they will be announced after a while. After the announcement, these systems have no place to implement. If problems are found, they will be revised in time."
Regarding the issue of the royal family, Zhang Yu showed a hard-hearted side. He just wanted to give his descendants a good starting point.
As for wanting more, go for it yourself.
In fact, if this is not the case, it will be very dangerous to them. The ancient emperors suspected other people and killed many royal descendants.
How many descendants of Liu Bang were killed by Lu Zhi in the Han Dynasty, and how many members of the royal family were killed by Wu Zetian, and the same is true for later people, killing many people.
Therefore, if Zhang Yu directly let them leave the royal family, there would be no large-scale killings.
Zhang Yu formulated these systems and asked the cabinet to continue to study and fill in the loopholes.
"Three days later, a meeting will be held to deal with military affairs."
Zhang Yu's focus is still on the military and politics, and he must have a unified strategy for Liu Bei Ma Teng as soon as possible.
There is no need to be anxious, after all, the empire has fought too many wars and needs to rest.
And it also needs large-scale construction, and it also needs to guard against the West, so Zhang Yu paused the attack and stabilized first.
In fact, Zhang Yu can kill Ma Teng right now, and it is still possible for a million troops to drive straight in.
But in that case, the contact with the West will be cut off. The Silk Road is very important to Zhang Yu. It can mobilize the development of the entire industry and stimulate the whole country to work hard.
Zhang Yu wants to promote one innovation after another, which requires a foreign enemy. In the case of a foreign enemy, Zhang Yu can maintain a strong military force and at the same time divert the attention of the people.
External enemies are always more serious than internal problems, and at critical times they must be united to the outside world.
Even, once an unmanageable situation arises in the innovation process, 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 be unanimous in foreign affairs, and Zhang Yu can kill anyone who dares to have an excuse.
Keeping Ma Teng and the West, as long as there is enough preparation, it can become the driving force for the development of the empire.
The news of Zhang Yu's establishment of the inheritance system for the royal family was still spread, of course it was Zhang Yu himself who revealed the news.
This can stabilize everyone. The system will be introduced in the near future, and everyone is looking forward to it. No matter what the result is, there is finally a result.
Many foreign relatives cared the most. The Mi family, the Qiao family, and the Zhen family were all big merchants, and they also cared very much.
His own daughter can't become the emperor, if the prince can become the king, it will be of great benefit to them.
Zhang Yu was afraid that something like this would happen. These big businessmen would never dare to do anything when he was here, but a few generations later, they might use their privileges to do many things.
When the news is released, we just wait for the result. Zhang Yu is very strong now, and he is not afraid of opposition. Those who oppose him can only be wiped out under his army.
"Well, for a long time, I really can't leave Beijing."
After formulating these policies, when they are announced, Zhang Yu will be in the capital. Depending on the situation in various places, it is really not suitable for him to leave Beijing.
Three days later, Zhang Yu held another cabinet meeting, this time to discuss the war against the West and Liu Bei.
Three days passed quickly, and Zhang Yu wanted to stipulate that the news about the dynasty would spread quickly. There was a storm outside, and everyone looked at Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu, on the other hand, was very indifferent. He dealt with whatever he had to deal with, convened a cabinet meeting, and dealt with the affairs in the west.
