Mingyue Qingfeng (47) two in one (Qingfeng Mingyue (47) kings are very happy...)
Cool Breeze and Bright Moon(47)
The kings were very excited, and it is not difficult to understand this feeling. The ancestral family law is there. They have stayed in their respective cities since they were born, and are not allowed to go out unless ordered. Whenever they go out, they are afraid of being beaten.
Report, it’s over, it’s tantamount to rebellion, and it’s directly relegated to the rank of common people.
But to be honest, the scale of the city in this period was large, but how big could it be?
It is different from the later generations who could not walk from the south to the north by car for several hours. The city wall of Xi'an is the Ming City Wall, which means that the city at that time was roughly that big. Imagine that generations of ancestors were inside that city wall. It was really every tree.
Every brick and corner of the tree is familiar and transparent, and what you see when you look up is the world.
Except for King Fu, no one here has ever set foot outside their respective cities.
To use an unkind analogy, if a dog has been kept at home for a long time, once he goes out, he will have fun like crazy, let alone a human.
Along the way, even though it was freezing outside, it did not stop them from having fun. When they entered the capital, it was more like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and everything she looked at felt strange. Once they entered the palace, the Forbidden City was covered in heavy snow.
It was really like a palace in heaven.
In such a place, the new emperor actually let them live in it.
The place is not as big as their respective palaces, but the meaning of living here is different.
People who have been here for several lifetimes can be said to be kings and royal families! But in fact, we have only heard of what is inside the palace and have never seen it. As for the appearance of the outside, the romantic figures, and the ministers of the court, we can only
I got some information through local officials. I often feel longing for it, but I can only look at the city wall and think about it.
Now that I have moved in, there is delicious food, fine wine, and countless palace rules. Everything is different.
This means I want to eat roasted venison, yes! Yes.
The one who said he wanted to eat bear paws, no problem, isn’t it just bear paws?
Eat and drink! There was even a eunuch who came to ask thoughtfully: Do you have any family letters that you want to take with you? The emperor is afraid that he deliberately invited everyone to celebrate the New Year. After the New Year, the first month will be out. But the road in the first month is not easy to walk. There are people plowing in March.
Li, after the plowing ceremony, the weather will get warmer. I wonder if you princes will be happy to go back?
I'm so happy! What's not to like about this? I came out for a trip and only stayed for two or three months, and I still didn't like it enough.
King Lu also asked, "How long will you stay in the palace?"
Zhou Bao smiled with an honest look on his face, "After the New Year, if you want to go out and live, you can do it! Your Majesty knows that all the princes want to go away, so you can do whatever you want after the New Year."
This is great! I saw the beauty lanterns hanging on Tianxiang Tower the other day, and I really wanted to see what kind of style the beauties there were like.
So, they wrote letters to the government one by one. They knew that Jinyiwei had channels, so let’s just take the letter back like this! I’m not leaving the palace now, so it’s not appropriate or convenient to ask others to take it with me. Speaking of which, no one can
You can't be faster than Jin Yiwei. You have to send a message back. Otherwise, if you are not in the house for a long time, people's hearts will be in chaos. No matter what, you have to appease him!
If they want to appease people's hearts, they should naturally write whatever they want, so that the palace will not panic. Besides, there is really nothing bad in the palace. In addition, they are asking Jin Yiwei to carry a letter, even a fool knows it.
Don't say anything bad in your letter.
So, everyone counted letters and entrusted them all to Zhou Bao.
Zhou Bao took it back, and Wang Cheng checked it one by one, and then sent it to Lin Yutong, "Please take a look, is there anything fishy in this letter?"
Lin Yutong looked through it and found that there was no writing on it, and there was no secret message in the letter.
She asked herself that she was an expert in this field. There was no way anyone could be better than her at this stage in terms of passwords. She just looked at it once, but there was nothing.
Lin Yutong sighed, he has really become a pig. First, he has no sense of defensiveness. Second, his basic military control is limited.
I was still worried that it would be difficult to deal with the situation if they had stationed troops, but looking at their reaction, my previous worries were really overshadowed by them.
She waved the letters to Fourth Master and shook her head.
The Fourth Master understood this and ordered Chen Fa: "Keep an eye on the people who have close contact with them, especially the Qi Shijiao. Find out who they use to influence these vassal kings."
Yes! Go now!
After the people left, Fourth Master looked at Zhou Bao: "There is a banquet tonight, it's time for us to treat him."
Oh! Oh! I understand, this banquet is not that banquet.
So, seventeen vassal kings came to the banquet.
King Fu's laughter was the loudest. He felt that he was the only one here who knew the inside story. Looking at the other sixteen feudal kings, he felt full of superiority.
Along the way, he introduced, "Have you seen that palace? The emperor lived there back then... That was Ciqing Palace, where the prince lived. Now it is empty... My nephew of the emperor is young and is over two years old.
When the emperor gave birth to an heir, the place was no longer empty...I lived there when I was in the palace...the place chosen by the emperor himself, and I lived there until the wedding. Did you see the verandah over there? That one crawling on
The vines on the verandah are not small...I tell you, in the spring, the vines will look good when they sprout. If it comes in the summer, it will be very cool... That was when I was a child, the emperor took
I planted them together..."
These people felt a little uncomfortable when they heard this, as if their relationship with this imperial city had become so far apart that they couldn't even hit it with sixteen poles.
Entering Qianqing Palace, Prince Fu felt very at ease. He looked like his master and asked Zhou Bao loudly and grandly: "Where is your nephew?"
Zhou Bao smiled and said, "Your Majesty will be here soon. Liaodong has come to report, and he is discussing with the adults of the Ministry of War. If you say you are here, feel free to come. Please entertain Prince Fu on your behalf."
So, King Fu waved his hand, "Then go down! I'm here."
Before Zhou Bao went down, he looked at the eunuchs standing in every corner. They nodded slightly in understanding, and then he actually went out.
There is a huge map hanging on the wall, and the islands are clearly marked on the map. They have never seen such a map, and it is different from the maps everyone usually sees. Why don't they just stand in front of the map and look at it?
Have you stayed?
King Tang still looked surprised, "We are actually not that far apart! Look, Taiyuan is so close to Xi'an..."
King Fu said with a hint of contempt: "Looking at the picture, it's not that far away, but it's across a big river..."
Ah? Ah! Oh oh oh!
King Fu pointed out the mountains and rivers on the map again, "This is the mountain, this is the river...the terrain here is high, the terrain here is low...look at the color...this place is barren, this place is rich...this place is mountainous and forested."
...This is Tada...This is the iron mine, this is the gold mine..." Normally no one knows who the other is, let alone what the other person's situation is. All the news I get is from what I heard. What is the so-called barrenness?
In fact, I don’t know much about the impoverishment method.
Now it's different. It's clear who's fief is good and whose fief is bad.
Can those in Gansu not envy those in Huguang?
No one feels happy!
Especially to the King of Shu, damn you talk rich and stupid things every day, are you more capable than us? Grandma! You damn well have a good life, your old ancestors have been entrusted with a good place.
The King of Shu ignored other people's envy, jealousy, and hatred. He only stared at the island and asked King Fu: "Where did the emperor seal it?"
King Fu clicked on the map, "Here... and here..."
Damn it! The best place is right here! The place is so big, you can tell from the map, there are mountains, water, and everything. This place... even if you are unhappy, you can become a king by yourself. Sanbao Eunuch
During the voyage to the West, we can know a little about the conditions of various countries based on the records of our ancestors. Many of them are small countries. Those places may not be as big as this island.
Jealousy and envy can almost turn into reality.
The King of Shu named a long list of small islands, "I want here..."
You damn sure can! These places can be connected together. But why should I give you a good place?
The King of Shu also simply said, "I can afford this price. As long as the emperor canonize it, just ask." He still didn't believe it and couldn't win it.
King Su was not happy, "Lanzhou Prefecture is located in the northwest border and is naturally barren. If it is granted a title, it should be with the intention of compensating it. The more barren the land, the more it should be compensated elsewhere. We have the responsibility of guarding the border, and we have the same responsibility as the fiefdom.
Can a vassal king in the hinterland of the Central Plains, in a fertile land, compare?"
As soon as these words came out, King Qing and King Han immediately agreed, but this is not the truth.
So, without saying anything, I started to choke.
King Fu sat on a chair next to him, drank a cup of tea, and relaxed, watching them bite dogs like fools, not to mention, he felt very comfortable.
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, a roll call came: The Emperor has arrived——
Yes! It has stopped!
Seventeen people stood in two rows, waiting for Fourth Master to come in.
But the fourth master did not come alone. He brought the cabinet, six ministers, and the British Duke Zhang Weixian.
Zhang Weixian holds the hereditary Duke title. The first British Duke was Zhang Fu, and it is already the seventh generation passed down to Zhang Weixian. Zhang Fu is the eldest son of Zhang Yu, who died to save Zhu Di during the Jingnan period. Because of this meritorious service
, the Zhang family has been favored for many generations, but by the seventh generation, Zhang Weixian is just a mediocre person! He competed with the people for profit, and a lawsuit broke out, but he lost the lawsuit. This joke was enough to make people laugh for two years. This way
Your honorable person is not at all inferior to the vassal king in his arrogance and extravagance, so he should be beaten.
Of course, not many of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty have been passed down to this day. But even if there are not many, they still have to be brought out to show them what happened to these vassal kings. They should also know what will happen to them in the future.
Therefore, Fourth Master brought this person here.
As for the cabinet, Ye Xianggao has already arrived, and Fang Congzhe is also in the cabinet and has not withdrawn. Together with several other people, the number of people in the cabinet is indeed considerable, but even so, it is also very busy.
Today I put everything aside and was called.
I met the legendary feudal kings in the palace—seventeen of them.
Ye Xianggao glanced at this young emperor. His behavior was actually somewhat similar to that of Emperor Taizu. The two most similar things were: first, he dared to do whatever he dared to think! Second, he was full of energy and too much energy.
Too diligent.
Look, everyone knows that regarding the vassal kings, their existence has become a burden to the court and the world, but due to the ancestral family law, no one dares to mention it. But no one mentioned it, and the emperor did it.
Moreover, it was so simple and easy to bring people here.
"Sit down!" Fourth Master sat at the top and watched the others take their seats.
Zhou Bao waved and cheered, and the eunuchs came in to present the meal. Each person had a small round table, four side dishes, a bowl of rice, a pot of wine, a wine glass, a pair of chopsticks, and nothing else.
Fourth Master greeted, "Eat first, and then we can talk about things after eating."
good!
How can I eat this rice when I move my chopsticks? One is stir-fried cabbage, one is roasted tofu, one is shredded white radish, and one is cold purslane.
This was too vegetarian. The king of Shu was happy with all the meat. He took a few bites of vegetables and then said: "Is the emperor's life so miserable?"
The fourth master raised his head and glanced at him, "It is already the fifteenth generation that the title of King of Shu has been passed down to you. Although the late emperor passed away less than a year ago, he is no longer in the period of filial piety. You are a distant sect. Eat something."
You don't have to worry about eating meat or drinking some meat and wine. Whatever you want, just ask for it."
As soon as these words came out, it didn't scare anyone to break into a cold sweat.
Emperor Taichang died on the first day of September, and it has only been a few days since the 100th anniversary of his death. You see, this matter has been caused! These days, no one has mentioned anything in the palace.
The person who was saying this was at a loss what to do, but Prince Fu was so shameless and immediately responded, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. We are already far away from each other! My eldest brother passed away, and as a younger brother, I don't think about food or tea, and I feel very sad."
It's not good. You also said that it's fifteen or sixteen generations ago. In ordinary people's families, apart from knowing that there is such a group of people in the genealogy, there is no relationship. That is to say, the royal family, so
It’s impossible to separate the complicated things. In our ancestors’ time, there were only about fifty people in the clan, and they were all direct relatives. Now it’s better, eight poles can’t hit it, and sixteen poles can barely hit it.
They are all regarded as clan members. Each one of them is raised without a king or a father. It can be seen that they are still too tolerant."
What a shame on your mother! These words are so heartbreaking. What the hell are you talking about?!
Just when King Qin was about to speak, Fourth Master spoke first, "Uncle King is right!" He slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth carefully, and then said: "Yu Guo, do you have any merit?"
We need some credit! Just like being able to get us out of the city.
"You don't have to work in the fields, you don't have to go to battle to kill the enemy, you don't have to study to govern the people...Every year, the imperial court's salary is not short of anyone's, and it has not been short of yours! But how many percent of the country's taxes have you deducted and how much have you turned over?
?What? Don’t you think the palace is counting?”
No! Your Majesty, what do you mean? Are you trying to settle a score with us?
"Shouldn't this account be settled?" Fourth Master waved his hand, "You each look at your accounts."
The Minister of Hubu stood up, and someone immediately brought in a box from outside. Except for King Fu, the other kings all placed a large box in front of them.
Now they looked at the box, then at the young emperor on top, and then at each other, finally understanding: This is the Hongmen Banquet!
No! Not today, but from the beginning. This was a trap.
The daring young man in front of him was about to take action on the feudal king.
I was laughing at Yan Yan before, but if I turn around, I will die!
The King of Shu began to feel fear in his heart. He knew how to keep the green hills without worrying about having no firewood. He knelt down on the ground with a bang and said, "I deserve death for my crime. I have been a bit arrogant and wanton in these years. This time I came to Beijing.
I have thought about it all! I will spend all the money I have in the Shu Palace to tide over the difficulties with the court."
King Qin gave the other party a ‘poof’, “Look at your eggless appearance!”
Fang Congzhe's eyes passed over these vassal kings, and there was indeed no trace of the royal family on them. Sitting here, they spoke with a southern and northern accent, and spoke dialects from various places. If they didn't say that they were a family, they would probably feel
awkward.
Over there, King Qin slapped the table and said, "What do you mean? Let's make it clear. This is not about settling accounts. It's clear that you want to withdraw from the vassal state! Your Majesty, you want to withdraw from the vassal state, but your wings are still a little softer. Emperor Jianwen also wants to withdraw from the vassal state.
, the result? Emperor Chengzu conquered the world. We have seventeen people here, but there are still eight who have not come, so you are not afraid of someone rebelling!"
King Jin coughed vigorously on the side, "Can I choke you to death if you don't speak? We are being held in someone else's hands. Are you talking so nonsense, do you not want to leave the palace alive?"
King Qin stiffened his neck and glanced sideways at King Jin, "Why are you coughing? You are not a coward! I just said it, what? We are all telling the truth. He dares to do it, but he doesn't dare to ask me to tell it.
?”
The corner of Fourth Master's lips curled up, "King Qin, one moment and another moment. The current vassal king is no longer the vassal king when Tai|zu conferred it. Your rights have not been as good as before after becoming the emperor. Think about it from another angle.
Think about it, why did Emperor Chengzu set so many conditions for you and keep you in captivity?"
Why?
"Have you ever seen raising pigs?" Before Fourth Master could say anything, King Fu spoke first, and his words were full of jokes, "They are kept in a place as big as a palm, and they are raised and raised. They only eat and sleep.
...At that time, it will be easy to slaughter! This is something that cannot be accomplished in one generation, and it will have to be done one generation after another."
How presumptuous! This is so humiliating!
The fourth master then said: "This world belongs to all the people in the world, not just the world named Zhu. You each occupy a land, and the land is yours. Because of you, taxes cannot be collected. The so-called donation of land does not mean
It’s you and the imperial court who are fighting over taxes. It’s difficult to collect taxes. What you collect is not enough to give to the royal family. This is using all the efforts of the world to support the royal family! Such a country cannot last long! I just want to ask
, as vassal kings, what have you done for the people, what have you done for the court, even if you say one useful thing, then it is considered that I have wronged you.
You are kings, but you have no idea what a king is. Above the king is the sky. Below the king is the earth. In the middle are the people. The king is the one in the middle, standing with the sky and the earth, with his feet on the earth and his hands in the sky.
The one who helps the people is the king. You carry the banner of 'king', but you don't have a 'king' worthy of the name.
The ancestors canonized the king and asked his son to become the pillar of the Ming Dynasty. If all of you have your heads in the sky and your feet on the ground, then there will be countless pillars of the Ming Dynasty in the country and between the heaven and the earth. Just like this one
The main hall is supported by these pillars. This is the expectation of the ancestors! I hope that his descendants will all be kings and stand on the land of the Ming Dynasty, making the country of the Ming Dynasty as solid as a rock."
As he spoke, he paused and glanced at more than a dozen people, "It was you, along with your ancestors, who failed our ancestors! Not only did you fail to become the Optimus Pillar, you also became the moth in this world. I know you want to
What are you talking about, the ancestral rules! But I just want to tell the world that the rules are right, but the people are wrong! In the ancestral rules, the fiefdom is for the vassal king, and he who can be the king, I still recognize him as the king, what about the ancestral rules?
Whatever you decide to do will come to you. But if you don’t deserve to be a king, then I’m sorry!”
What do you mean? Kill us?
The fourth master shook his head, "I don't like killing people! I'm not very interested in the heads on your heads! Let's put it this way, I don't look down on you. But whether any of your descendants can inherit the title..."
The King of Qin sneered, "Don't fool people, give back your descendants...Are you trying to sneak into the capital so that you can kill them all?"
"No!" Fourth Master stood up, walked over, and patted King Qin, "Sit down, speak slowly, and don't be so hasty."
King Qin snorted, sat down and turned his head to the side.
The fourth master sighed, helped the King of Shu up and asked him to sit down, and then said: "I have no intention of killing the clan! But, in the vassal land, I cannot let you go back."
Several people looked solemn and said nothing.
"That's what I think! I want to bring all the clan members into the capital and settle them all in the capital. What Uncle Fu Wang said before about raising pigs is not good to hear, but it is indeed true. If you continue to raise pigs like this, you will be raising them stupidly.
No one in any dynasty or generation has maintained the clan like this, right?"
King Jin thought to himself, why does this emperor have a dog-like face? I was almost scared to death just now, thinking that he had found a bunch of high-sounding reasons just to kill people. But now, his face has changed again. Listen to this
You mean, it’s for the sake of the clan?
Sure enough, the emperor asked: "Have you never thought about having a real job?"
What?
"When the clan comes to Beijing, there is a special clan academy. Every year, I will select a group of people from the clan school and assign them to work. If they do well in their duties, I will not only ask them to continue working on the job, but also give them a title."
King Jin's complexion changed drastically, and his whole body began to tremble! He suddenly realized that the harsh words and expressions before were not powerful, but this reward was really fatal!
Why? Because most of the clans have been reduced to ordinary clans! They are dependent on the royal palace and rely on the royal palace to live. Most families may not live as well as the common people. There are many clans who eat their last meal but never finish their meal.
Yes! If this reward continues, 99% of the clan will be grateful and happily come to the capital. The capital will provide houses to live in and food to eat. As long as they are willing to work hard for the emperor, the emperor will reward them with titles and official positions.
Give a chance to get ahead.
The people of the clan instantly came to the side of the emperor.
If this is the case, what do these vassal kings have left? The emperor wants to kill them, and the rest of the clan can only applaud! After all, the only real benefits are the vassal prince's close relatives. A palace, that is
Dozens of close relatives. Even if they killed all the close relatives of the twenty-five vassal kings, there were only a few hundred people. Compared to the huge clan, is this a big deal?
Knowing how powerful he was, he stood up, then slowly knelt down and knelt his head on the ground, "I will die for my sins, but I am willing to die for the emperor!"
Everyone who reacted knelt down and said, "I will die for my sins, but I am willing to serve the emperor to the death."
King Fu was a little confused: Why is this different from what he told him at the beginning!
He turned his face to look at the emperor's nephew, and finally...he reacted belatedly: You don't like me!
