Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 118
Most of the vassal kings of the Dagan Dynasty were handed down from Taizu and Gaozu.

Daqian Taizu was born in Weimo and started in the grass, which may be related to his life experience. He attached great importance to the friendship between father and son, brothers, and monarch and ministers. The founding emperor of the country is different, he is a rare emperor with great friendship!
For those old brothers who fought the world with him at the beginning, they were not stingy at all with rewards afterwards, even dukes and marquises, and those with high achievements were even conferred titles of princes, just like the four kings we are familiar with.

You know, this is not a posthumous title, but a living king with a different surname!

Even if this is the case for brothers of the opposite sex, our great-grandfather will not be stingy when treating his own heirs!Most of the princes in the early dynasty of the Taizu were conferred the title of prince, and they were the ones with fiefdoms!
Up to the time of Emperor Gaozu, the system established by Taizu was still continued, but Emperor Gaozu followed the decree and followed the Huang Lao's art of light corvee and light labor and rest with the people, two words: inaction.

There is nothing to do in political affairs, Emperor Gaozu always wants to pass the time to live, people live without doing anything, isn't it a salty fish?

In order to find something to do for himself, Emperor Gaozu started a man-making project in the harem!

According to complete statistics, during the reign of the Great Patriarch Yeye, there were only 73 princes left!
There is no doubt that these more than 70 princes have been canonized as the throne, and they are also of the fief type, and more than [-] of them are princes!
A prince who works hard for a while begins to become worthless. A prince's feudal kingdom is equivalent to a small court, and the taxes within the fief naturally belong to the prince's mansion!
The vassal king collected more taxes, and the court got less money, and contradictions naturally appeared!

So the matter of cutting down the vassal was brought up by an unknown minister!

The reason why I don’t know the name is because Emperor Xuanlong had just ascended the throne not long ago, and the imperial power had not yet been stabilized, and those vassal kings were either his uncles or his brothers. Xuanlong had to be polite when he saw them, and you alone The lackeys raised by the royal family actually want to cut down our domain?

The ending can be imagined, that minister was dragged out by a group of ferocious vassal kings before he could leave his mark in the history books and dismembered his body!

Faced with such a group of vicious uncles and brothers, Emperor Xuanlong gave up!

But a dragon is a dragon, he has always been the only one who threatens others, how can he tolerate others threatening him!

So Emperor Xuanlong began to think about what to do to deal with these people!

After ruling out several options, he finally chose the safest one!
One word: boil!

Momentary complacency is not victory, the one who laughs last is the real winner!

Let's compare who can live longer!
If I can't deal with you, can't I also deal with your descendants?hum!

Everyone knows the ending, our Lord Xuan Long lived to be more than 70 years old!When he hadn't finished half of his life journey, those uncles and brothers who had threatened him had already started to wither!

After the older generation was gone, Lord Xuanlong broke the ancestral system again, and decreed that all princes and princes in the future should be degraded. Do not leave Beijing!

In this way, the momentum of the rapidly expanding feudal lord group was contained!
By the time Xuanlong abdicated, there were few prince-level vassals in the Dagan Dynasty!

The reason why it is rare is that there are exceptions to everything!

For example, the king of Chu whose fief is in Wuchang Mansion is a prince conferred by Emperor Xuanlong, and he has a fief!
In today's Chu Palace, the title has been passed down to the second generation, but the Chu king of this generation is still a prince!As for why the second king of Chu didn't downgrade when he took over the title, few people know the reason!

The King of Chu of this generation was of the same generation as Emperor Jiade, surnamed Yang and surnamed Huang.

In the east of Wuchang City, there is a large-scale mansion, which is the Chu Palace.

At this moment, in the back garden of Prince Chu's Mansion, there is a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat and short beard, dressed as an old man fisherman, holding a fishing rod, fishing by the lakeside of his own garden, with a beaded gauze hanging behind him In the octagonal pavilion, there is a young, beautiful, graceful and luxurious woman who sits on the table with her legs crossed and skillfully draws water to make tea, and the fragrance of tea is wafting.

But at this moment, on the surface of the lake, the fishing rod was swinging lightly, and the fishing line was pulled straight. The corner of the middle-aged man's mouth curled up slightly, and he said softly, "I'm hooked!"

Then he pulled up the fishing rod, and a koi carp about one and a half feet in size bit the hook and was dragged out of the lake, wagging its tail vigorously!

The man took back the fishing rod, took the silver hook out of the fish's mouth, held the koi again, and released it back into the lake!

"The fish has been caught, why did the prince release it, wouldn't it be a waste of work?" A voice like a silver bell sounded from the pavilion.

I saw the middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat, glanced at the koi swimming away, then turned to look at the woman and said, "The fun of fishing is not whether the harvest is plentiful, but the wonder of fishing!"

While taking off the bamboo hat, the man walked towards the pavilion, moved to the side of the beauty, and sat down with his legs bent next to the woman's back, gently smelling the orchid aura all over the beauty's body. The woman's fragrant shoulders fell.

"My lord, be careful if someone sees it!" The woman said with a blushing face when she noticed the strangeness of the man.

As if being aroused by Biren's sweet voice, she made a slight effort in her arms and embraced her.

A soft hum sounded in the booth.

In just a moment, confusion appeared on the woman's complexion, and her eyes seemed to be rippling like water.

The landscape and birds are painting, and the purple smoke and spring tea add fragrance.

The lake waves are rippling, and the atmosphere in the pavilion is charming.

The man looked like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, but just as he was about to make his next move, his body suddenly bowed like a shrimp and trembled slightly
But there is no follow-up action.

There was a trace of sarcasm and chuckle in the woman's eyes, which seemed to be ridiculed and disgusted, but the man never noticed it!
The majestic king of Chu is actually powerless!
A hint of grayness and shortness of breath flashed across the man's face, his eyes were even more ferocious, and he raised his hand to touch the spurs beside him.
I don't know how long it took, Yang Huang's ferocious expression finally faded away, and he regained his previous graceful and peaceful expression. He threw aside the slightly bloody spur in his hand, caressed the scarred woman and said softly: "Nan Ji, thank you for your hard work!"

The woman suppressed the pain, straightened her clothes, and said with a cold face: "My lord, it's time to talk about business!"

Yang Huang glanced at the woman, frowned slightly, but stretched it out again, and asked the woman, "Did you bring it back?"

The woman named Nan Ji nodded, but asked puzzledly: "I don't understand why the prince is so interested in an official woman? Is it just because her father is the emperor's confidant?"

Yang Huang smiled lightly, shook his head, and nodded again: "It is precisely because Qi Benzhong is Jiade's confidant that he knows some unknown things, and this king will naturally take care of it."

The woman called Nan Ji still looked puzzled, and said: "But he is dead, will he leave the secret to his daughter? Wouldn't this add disaster to her?"

When Yang You heard the words, he felt a little proud in his heart!
How can they teach others to see through the chess pieces laid by two generations of their father and son!
However, these things have been held in his heart for many years, and seeing that the big event is about to happen, there is no need to hide it any longer, so he said to the woman immediately: "There are a few old things involved in this, do you know how Jiade came to the throne? ?”

A trace of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Yang Huang's mouth, and he continued: "Xuanlong has thirteen sons who survived. Since the prince was abolished and died in a secluded palace, among the other princes, in terms of ability and prestige, no matter how you look at it It's not his turn to Garter!

The third prince, Prince Yizhong, is outstanding in martial arts and martial arts, and has won the support of most of the nobles. He is the candidate with the best chance of inheriting the throne.The fifth prince, Prince Suzhong, is also not bad, but this Prince Suzhong is upright and good at martial arts, after all, he is a little worse than Uprising Zhonglai!And Jiade was just a follower behind the two back then!But in the end, both Yizhong and Suzhong died, but the throne fell on Jiade's head. Do you know why? "

Nan Ji shook her head!

But Yang Huang smiled wantonly and said: "Prince Yizhong was suddenly deprived of his title by Xuanlong, and within a few days of confinement in the mansion, he was given a three-foot white silk, and anyone who dared to write to Xuanlong to question him The ministers in the palace were also ransacked, and this matter eventually became a taboo in people's mouths, and was gradually forgotten! It's just that others don't know why, but I, who belong to the Chu Palace, know all of this clearly! Zhong is accused of obscene harem! It's just that Xuanlong didn't make it clear in order to cover up the scandal!
Xuanlong was greedy and beautiful all his life, and he probably didn't even remember the concubines who went on tour several times to favor him, some of them were taken back to the palace, and some were placed in the palace!Back then, Yizhong had an affair with a nobleman in the palace. Originally, this matter was done seamlessly, but Jiade discovered this secret by accident. The final result was that the prosperous Yizhong Palace collapsed! "

Nan Ji sneered at first, but then asked puzzledly: "That Prince Yizhong can stand out from all the princes, so he is not an idler, seeing the great position in sight, why would he do such an unwise thing? If it's just about beauty, with his status, wouldn't he still be short of women?"

Yang Huang didn't speak, but smiled meaningfully at Nan Ji.

However, Nan Ji understood that her time in Chu Palace was not short, and she was sent by Yang Huang to do some secret things. She naturally knew what the two generations of father and son in Chu Palace were doing, and Chu was probably indispensable among them. The handwriting of the palace, that King Yizhong is also considered unlucky!

"But what does this have to do with Qi Benzhong?"

Yang Huang said with a dark smile: "A good strategy doesn't matter how novel it is, the key is that it can achieve the goal, don't you think so?"

After finishing speaking, Yang Huang sighed again: "It's a pity, God will not help me! Before I was ready, Xuan Long died suddenly? Otherwise, this card will be greatly reduced now!"

Hearing this, Nan Ji still didn't understand why that Emperor Jiade had also stepped into the trap of Chu Palace and followed in the footsteps of Yizhong!If Xuan Long hadn't died, maybe there would be a scene of two dragons fighting against each other in Dagan!
It is indeed a pity!

"How are the preparations going in the north?" Yang Huang asked again.

Hearing this, Nan Ji said worriedly: "After all, time is running short. Feng Hengshi sent by the imperial court disrupted all our plans, and now another Jia Ying is here to make a big kill in the south. My lord, can we succeed? ?"

Hearing Feng Hengshi's name, Yang Huang also had a gloomy face, looked to the north, and sighed helplessly: "Whether you can succeed or not, this is the last chance. From the time Qi Benzhong was killed to the time Feng Hengshi came to Huguang, the old Heaven won’t give us time to prepare! If anyone is to blame, blame Xuan Long for dying too early!”

After finishing speaking, Yang Huang looked at the woman on the side and said, "Nan Ji, don't worry, after the matter is completed, this king will make you the master of the harem!"

When Nan Ji heard the words, a trace of disgust flashed in her heart, but there was still a smile on her face, she only asked: "The prince appointed the slave and maidservant as the queen, what should the princess do?"

Yang Huang snorted coldly and said: "At that time, this king will be the honor of Wancheng. If this king wants you to be a queen, who would dare to object? You can just do things with peace of mind, don't worry about these things! What this king said , it will be fulfilled naturally!"

But I heard Nan Ji say: "If the lord really cares about your servants, can you allow your servants to see Nan Yi?"

Yang Huang was stunned, and then smiled warmly: "Nan Yi is the future uncle of the king. Nan Ji wants to see her brother. Could it be that the king can't stop her? Go, after meeting him, you will go back to Xiangyang and prepare It’s a big event on May [-]!”

Nan Ji knelt down on the ground, saluted her blessings, and was about to leave, but when she got up, she staggered, and the red marks on her body made it difficult for her to stand still for a while!

In a certain courtyard of the Chu Palace.

"Sister, did he hit you again?" A young man looked at Nan Ji who was full of scars, and asked with tears in his eyes.

"Sister, don't worry about me anymore, he's an ambitious beast, and he won't end well if he stays!" The young man became more and more excited as he spoke, "Sister, leave, the world is so big, there will always be someone Where he can't find it! Let's not take revenge anymore!"

Nan Feiyan was miserable inside, but she forced a smile and said, "Yi'er, you don't have to worry about me, don't worry, this will be over soon! When the time comes, sister will take you away!"

Nan Ji's real name is Nan Feiyan, and she was originally a child of an official family, but her father implicated the whole family due to crimes during the Xuanlong Dynasty, and only she and her younger brother Nan Yi were rescued by Chu King Yang Huang, so she devoted herself to the Chu King's family and worked for the King of Chu. its doing things.

At first, she was willing to run for Yang Huang with a mentality of revenge, but after all these years, she had already understood Chu Palace!
Yang Huang dreamed of becoming the emperor, but even his father couldn't beat Xuan Long. Could it be possible to succeed only with him and the help of the White Lotus Sect?

Whenever Yang Huang talked about his ambitions in front of her, Nan Feiyan felt extremely ridiculous, but she was worried and couldn't get away!
Yang Huang is looking forward to the arrival of May [-]th, why not she!

Maybe on that day, they will really be able to get rid of this devil's lair completely!
