Chapter 184

His Highness said that the Battle of Jaxa was not handled well, so that would be fine. Anyway, Nalan Mingzhu and Soetu were dealing with this matter together. If the generals were wrong, it would not be a problem for the emperor. But he said that the emperor "agained his conscience" against the enemy country and criticized the Eight Banners system!

Your Highness accused the emperor of being "rude" and "gentle to the enemy". It depends on the emperor's attitude. The emperor wanted to educate himself, but the rest of the ministers did not care.

It’s big or small, everything depends on the emperor’s attitude. It’s really hard to despise the ruling power, because His Highness is still too young and is the son raised by the emperor himself.

How good is the relationship between the father and son of the Tian family? It is so good that the court officials are forced to hear the emperor complain about the child being disobedient, especially the favorite ministers around the emperor. Who has never praised the prince according to the emperor's wishes?

Even when Nalan Mingzhu was there, she had to say some good things to the emperor to follow the old father's wishes, not to mention Soetu, who was originally the supporter of the prince.

The issue that the cabinet paid the most attention was that the prince criticized the shortcomings exposed by the Eight Banners System in the memorial.

It is not an unreasonable criticism, but a matter of everything, and each one makes the cabinet minister tremble to the point!

Yinreng: The ancestors said, "When the Eight Banners come out, they will be soldiers, and when they enter, they will be the people. They will never be neglected." (1) Is this true?

Go out for soldiers and enter for the people. Is it a soldier or a civilian?

If it is a civilian, you have to pay taxes, but you don’t have to join the army. If it is a military, you have the obligation to join the army. There is no need to pay taxes from the people. The soldiers and the people are not divided. Although there is a large number of soldiers, the soldiers and civilians are not divided, so that the descendants of the Eight Banners cannot seek other livelihoods, either join the army or become officials. In order to resettle them, the court also has to give official positions. The power and convenience given by the court can only benefit part, not the whole, resulting in idle bannermen having no way to make a living, and they can only rely on flag pay for their support.

The status of the Eight Banners is very different, and there is a situation where the ministers are treated as slaves. When the superiors whisper, they come and call them away. When the subordinates are flattered, they are helpless in order to seek the superiors. This phenomenon occurs in the army, and the corruption of the atmosphere has made the conflicts between the superiors and the subordinates even more acute. Such dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction of the superiors. In the long run, resentment breeds and chaos all come here.

Since Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms, there has never been a "slave system". However, when we came to our dynasty, we had a "slave system" and embarked on a regression. His inferiority was exposed among the Eight Banners. It was the system of placing the cloak that served as slaves for generations.

Khan Ama went to the south to promote Han officials and alleviate the conflict between Manchu and Han, but he did not know that the Eight Banners system further aggravated the conflict between Manchu and Han.

The Han military flag was planted with Manchu ministers to monitor and point fingers. Manchu and Han suspicion, and there were Mongolian flags in it. The Eight Banners made the difference between Manchu and Han even more serious. Suspicion caused conflicts, and the struggles caused by the conflicts and military and political disagreement. Moreover, due to the limitations of the system, descendants of the Manchu army could not move or seek other livelihoods. They could only rely on military salaries to survive, or had their heads sharpened to become officials.

In the Battle of Jaques, the people who played a major role were not the children of the Eight Banners, but the people of the border. Khan Ama and the adults may know the number of troops dispatched in the capital. Now the Eight Banners' system has already shown one or two problems. It may be expected that if it continues to be implemented, the descendants of the Eight Banners will only rely on the banner salary to survive a hundred years later. The ills of the old system made the descendants of the Eight Banners become non-school, not farmers, not traders, not soldiers, not civilians, and sit down and eat from the royal family, or "using Confucian generals as generals and farmers as the strategy for the people" (2). The livelihood is only official or military, and the banner militia has no other ability. Once the livelihood is unsustainable, theft will become more rampant.

In short, the Eight Banners system is no longer applicable to the current Qing Dynasty. The disadvantages are revealed for the first time, and there is still the day when the Qing Dynasty is corrected. That is because the Qing Dynasty is still alive, young, young and promising. There is no excessive harshness, and it will not be sad to change it. When it is harshness in the future, it may be difficult to change. At that time, it will be truly a damaging force and killing your life.

Moving the Eight Banners is conducive to eliminating the contradictions between Manchu and Han, and separating the people and soldiers in the banner, so that more people can have other livelihoods. Only when the race is eliminated can the country be strong. Khan Ama often teaches his ministers that if they want to govern the world well, "Manchu and Han must have a family", but in fact it is not the case.

When Manchus dispelled Han people, Han people also dispelled Manchus. The role of force is mutual. How many Manchus in our dynasty are there? How many Han people are there? Oppression and enslavement will only aggravate the conflict. If the conflict between Manchus and Han people is not eliminated, the dominance will be unstable.

The conflict between Manchu and Han will be the source of the destruction of the country!

There are also the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. They learn from the military system of the previous Ming Dynasty and adopt the "hereditary system". Such an old system, if one person serves as a soldier, the whole family will serve as a soldier. To serve as a soldier for generations, the bannermen will never have freedom, and the hereditary system will also form a new "group" and "family". The lieutenant generals lose their vitality, just like an old ox plowing the land, no longer have vitality. The sons were extremely frightened. Once they thought that this system would last for hundreds of years, and that will be like this descendants. How long can the national strength of the Qing Dynasty live under such a system?

During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin could not have imagined that the Tang Dynasty had only been enjoying the country for 289 years. Now that the Qing Dynasty is in its prosperous era, Khan Ama might have thought about what the Qing Dynasty would be like in 289 years?

Such a rebellious word was spoken by His Highness the Crown Prince.

Thinking of the "Immortality" whom His Highness taught him behind His Highness, the cabinet ministers were frightened and sweated coldly. They could only gather in front of the emperor and submit the overly long memorial with trembling fear.

Soetu was a little anxious: What happened between His Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor?

In the past, the prince would not have done anything to the emperor in such a way. Today, His Highness did it on purpose and was also testing the emperor's bottom line!

After Yinreng came, he looked around and found that all the five major ministers of the cabinet had arrived. He also asked them one by one with a smile.

Kangxi threw the memorial in front of him, his face full of anger, and was about to get angry, Yinreng took the lead in resolutely and said seriously: "Khan Ama, do you have any thoughts after reading the memorial written by the Erchen?"

Cabinet ministers: "…"

He also asked!

He actually had the courage to ask!

He is worthy of being a father and son. His Royal Highness is expected to be sure that the emperor will not kill his son, and he will feel uncomfortable in the wind and rain!

If their family had such a bad intention to anger the Lord's son, they would have to put him into their mother's womb and rebuilt.

Kangxi smiled angrily: "You still have the face to ask me what I feel? Bao Bao has grown up and is smart. It is really good to write such an article!"

Yinreng said seriously: "Ama, I didn't write such a memorial to anger you." It's strange.

"All this written by Erchen is from the heart and comes from reality. It is an objective and an inevitable major problem. Unless we pretend that we are deaf and blind, we can comfort ourselves and think that all this problem does not exist. But Erchen is not. Erchen has been cultivated from Khan Ama since childhood, and he sees the world that Khan Ama lets him see, and what he wants to share is Khan Ama's troubles."

"I am the prince of the Qing Dynasty. I only wish to join the five tribes of Manchuria, Mongolian, Han, and Tibetan to be a great citizen, and to join hands with each other, and to unite with one heart and virtue (3). Other ministers came to write to Khan Ama to reveal the mistakes that were blinded in front of you. They would lose their lives. They dare not and are unwilling to do this, but someone has to do such a thing? I don't want to pretend that I am deaf and blind. When I see, hear, and learn, I have to use them to solve these problems. As for the price of telling the truth, I thought about it, but I can't do it, but my son's prince is not enough. If I don't become the prince, and if I have Khan Ama, it's good."

Soetu: "..."

Your Highness’s move is to retreat as an advance, it’s amazing!

Wang Xi's heart was trembling: Something big is not good!

Wu Zhengzhi wanted to speak but stopped, so he quietly went to see Kangxi's reaction.

Such a crown prince is already much better than other princes. Compared with the eldest prince, there is a completely different perspective. It combines Manchu and Han, and the words are said by the crown prince. The two Han ministers are standing beside His Highness on the side of the crown prince.

It’s the emperor. Is the emperor willing to let such an outstanding heir not be the crown prince?

Maybe the emperor himself couldn't bear it.

No matter what, if the emperor wants to punish His Highness the Crown Prince, Wu Zhengzhi will definitely speak out and protect him.

Kangxi: "…"

I know, I know that Baocheng still talks about not being the crown prince!

[Ah, hypertension warning, hypertension warning, the blood pressure of the eldest friend's father exceeded 18... The blood pressure of the eldest friend's father exceeded 200! Something is not good, if the father is so angry, the eldest friend will be forced to inherit the throne tomorrow!]
