Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 467 When I First Arrived in the Qi Mansion, I Encountered Ma Wei, the Zong Fan Reformed the King of Lu and Transferred His Fan Fan
After more than an hour, all the people of the King of Lu rode in a carriage to get to the Ganquan Gate of the Prince's Mansion.

After the carriage stopped, King Lu sighed sincerely: "The avenue from the capital directly to King Qi's Mansion is wide, straight and flat. It is so comfortable to walk all the way in a carriage. I fell asleep in a daze. .

This road cost a lot of money from the imperial court. "

Tang Jie said with a smile: "My nephew really heard the people in the capital say that this straight road didn't cost the imperial court a single penny, it was all paid for by the Qi Palace itself.

This avenue is paved with large bluestones that have been carefully polished and leveled, and the two sides are also full of high and low trees, and even repaired drainage ditches, which cost the same as running water.

However, in order to promote the newly minted Jingtai Tongbao, the emperor deliberately sprinkled money.The craftsmen and peasants hired by Prince Qi's Mansion paid three times as much.

Old and young, women and children, come to the construction site to do some work casually, clean up the sundries, cook for the craftsmen, and the Qi Palace also throws a lot of copper coins.The poor people in the capital are still praising the virtues of the emperor and princesses.

And after the road is repaired, anyone can walk on this avenue.The common people took advantage of it, so they called this road Qiguo Avenue. "

Hearing this, Lu Shizi said with a smile: "Qi Guo means self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace.

The avenue is to praise the emperor and his concubines for doing everything for the country and the people, which is in line with the avenue.

Are you sure that 'Qiguo Avenue' is the name given by the common people?I'm afraid it's not the concubines of Qi who are bragging about themselves. "

Tang Jie replied: "It was really reported by the people in the capital. There is no rumor that the princesses are boasting."

King Lu waved his hand: "Okay, get out of the car quickly, don't talk nonsense for a while, I will be responsible for answering with Jie'er."

The sons of King Lu nodded repeatedly. Anyway, everyone didn't want to talk to those princesses.

After everyone discussed it, they got out of the carriage and looked towards the palace, they couldn't help being stunned.

Didn't you say it was the palace, why did you build a tall city wall?
And the style is completely different from the Forbidden City, which has red walls and yellow tiles.The Prince Qi's Mansion was built with green bricks, even the gates, quite simple and elegant, without the royal aura of the Forbidden City.

King Lu and his party will enter through Ganquan Gate and go to Qingyun Pavilion of Ganquan Palace to face the saint.And behind him there was an endless stream of chariots and horses, carrying innumerable belongings, entering from the main gate of Prince Qi's Mansion in the distance.

Seeing this, Lu Shizi teased: "The emperor made a lot of money in this mutiny, how much wealth will be stolen from this house raid."

Lu Shizi was sighing, when he saw a young boy wearing a sixth-rank official uniform with a childish face, greeted his group.

Everyone frowned, the people in Prince Qi's Mansion are so strange.

I saw the young man knelt down and saluted: "Weichen Zhongshu Sheren, Hanlin attendant Wang Xian, I have met His Royal Highness King Lu, I have seen the princes, I have seen Your Royal Highnesses, and I have seen the young master."

The others are fine, but Tang Jie was embarrassed by the call of the young man.

King Lu quickly stepped forward to help him up: "I know you, No. 1 in the second class, the youngest Jinshi in this discipline, the son-in-law of Wei Guogong, a young hero, you have a bright future."

Wang Xian replied: "His Royal Highness's absurd praise, I am ashamed and dare not take it."

King Lu wanted to talk with Wang Xian in detail. After all, such a young man was obviously appreciated by the emperor, and sooner or later he was going to be successful.

Unexpectedly, there was a tidy shout from behind at this time. When everyone turned their heads, they saw hundreds of craftsmen carrying a huge boulder in a special ox cart and slowly moving towards the main entrance.

King Lu asked curiously, "What is this?"

Wang Xian said with a smile: "Reporting to Your Highness, this is a Hetian jade carving screen given to him by Emperor Gong Rang in order to win Gao Ping, the chief eunuch in the Empress Dowager's palace, to participate in the mutiny.

This was stolen goods, Gao Ping did not dare to accept it, and dedicated it to our concubine, and made the emperor retaliate.

The princess has pardoned her crime because of her meritorious service in the first report.

Our princess doesn't like gold and silver, but only jade, colored glaze and porcelain.

This treasure was transported outside the mansion last night, so it was going to be sent to the Lingyu Palace early this morning, and placed in front of Princess Jasper's bed to make a screen. "

Wang Xian's words contained a lot of information, and these contents, especially the words of courting the emperor to rebel, Wang Xian would never dare to speak nonsense without the concubine's instruction.

King Lu nodded, knowing in his heart that the princess was taking the opportunity to beat herself.

Before meeting, let's take a look at Mawei.

So King Lu greeted Wang Xian politely, and then he led everyone into Ganquan Camp and all the way to Qingyun Pavilion.

Walking up to the third floor, the emperor was indeed not there, and there were two pretty beauties sitting side by side on the soft couch.

Everyone glanced at it briefly, and then secretly shouted in their hearts that it is rare, the women in front of them, if they take out one, they are all beautiful and beautiful, and the most rare thing is that the two women look exactly the same.

There is not even any difference in clothing and jewelry, the only difference is that one person wears a red jade bracelet on the wrist, while the other wears a jasper bracelet.

This pair of jade bracelets is dazzling, and they are priceless and rare treasures at first glance, which shows how much the emperor loves the two little princesses.

But a pair of beautiful women, like two icebergs, remained motionless, and had no intention of getting up to salute at all.

King Lu had no choice but to grit his teeth, and led everyone to kneel down and kowtow to salute.

After the salute was over, a cold and clear voice came from the ears of the crowd: "Everyone will be excused, and I will give you a seat."

After everyone was seated, Qianxue asked straight to the point: "Your Majesty is going to convene a meeting of relatives to determine the crimes of the Empress Dowager, and to decide what to do with the relatives and relatives involved in the treason this time.

Your Majesty invited King Lu to come down today, because he wants to know how His Highness Lu looks at these things? "

King Lu frowned when he heard this. These two concubines are really rude. They didn't even call them uncles, so they called them indiscriminately like His Royal Highness King Lu.

But people have to bow their heads under the low eaves.King Lu didn't blame these concubines either. If the emperor respectfully won this mutiny, then everyone, as the victors, would treat these concubines a hundred times worse.

You have rebelled and failed, so it is unreasonable to allow others to show embarrassment.

So King Lu bit the bullet and replied: "If the evidence of the empress dowager's crime is true, the ministers agree to depose the empress dowager."

Qianxue nodded: "That's how it is. On the tenth day of the seventh month, a meeting of relatives will be held formally. On that day, the matter between the Queen Mother and the Sun family will be discussed first."

After finishing speaking, Qianxue picked up the teacup and signaled to see off the guests.

King Lu and the others were stunned: Everyone ran for dozens of miles, and it was over with just one sentence?

King Lu had no choice but to put down his old face, and asked with a low eyebrow, "Dare to ask my mother, after attending the meeting of relatives, can we go back to the fief?"

"Go back to the fief?"

An incredulous expression appeared on Qianxue's face, and she asked curiously.

King Lu was taken aback: "We can't return to the fief?"

"You all rebelled, and you still have to go back to the fiefdom? How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world? Then you don't have to do anything else, just rebel every day. Anyway, there are no consequences for failure. As soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, it will be fine." Go back to the fief."

The King of Lu quickly argued: "Madam, I did not participate in the rebellion, nor did I hand over my guards to Shi Heng, and followed the army to make trouble. The ministers and others went to Fengtianmen to participate in the banquet according to the request of the court."

Qianxue nodded: "There are so many rebellious vassals, His Majesty is heartbroken. Originally, his health was better, but now he was so angry that he was bedridden again.

After learning from the painful experience, His Majesty decided to carry out suzerainty reform.First of all, the seven princes who were killed must abolish the feudal domain and the country.Secondly, among the surviving kings, a large part still needs to be killed.

In addition, those who have a little extenuating circumstances should be resettled in Fengyang, the central capital, and live together.The princes of each family are only allowed to send their sons back to the feudal kingdom to guard them, and the rest must stay in the central capital.

And from now on, the eldest son of the prince will be crowned son, and will inherit the title of prince in the future.The other sons born to the prince's concubine and the second concubine are named county kings.The son born to the prince's concubine will no longer be the king of the county.

The eldest son of the county king is granted the title of son, and will inherit the title of county king in the future.The other sons born to the main concubine and the second concubine of the county king were named generals of the town.The son of the concubine of the county king will no longer be named the general of the town.

The titles under General Zhen Guo were abolished, and his children were registered as citizens to support themselves. "

When everyone heard the words, they were stunned in place. Is the emperor crazy?
King Lu asked in amazement, "Why does Your Majesty have such intentions?"

Qianxue explained: "There are more and more clans, lawlessness in the feudal country, harming the common people, if things go on like this, Daming can't bear it.

Your Majesty has a public heart, and His Majesty's sons will abide by the same suzerainty regulations in the future.

King Lu, you also know that His Majesty could have avoided such trouble.In the mutiny three days ago, none of the vassal kings could survive, but His Majesty cared about the friendship between relatives and moved his heart of compassion.

Hasn't the King of Lu heard of the old story of Xuanmiao and Hanwang's Mansion?

Just accept it as soon as you see it, don't force His Majesty to turn his face and be ruthless. "

The king of Lu asked again: "Dare to ask your mother, what other suzerain reforms will there be?"

Qianxue replied without hesitation: "There is also the transfer of the domain. For King Sai, priority will be given and the guards will be returned. If King Lu is willing to move the town to the frontier, he can leave today, and the treatment is generous, which is definitely beyond your imagination."

King Lu shook his head: "It's hard for me to leave my homeland, can I move to a closer place? I don't need any generous treatment, as long as the family can live in peace."

Qianxue replied: "Qufu is where Shenggong Yan is located. These Confucian family don't care about benefiting the common people, but blindly spend extravagant desires and infringe the local area. Your Majesty already hates them, and has long wanted to send a virtuous king to guard them."

King Lu nodded: "Yes, I am willing to move the domain to Qufu."

It was not difficult to make this decision at all. Lu Wang wondered if the princess in front of him was confused. She had confused the feudal records of the vassal king?Still can't tell where is where?
The distance between Yanzhou and Qufu is only [-] miles, and Yanzhou often suffers from floods, and it suffered a catastrophe last year.King Lu was eager to move to Qufu to the west.
