Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 858 hint
Seeing King Qin's back walking away, King Yu sighed in his heart. Seeing his expression, King Yi also looked at King Qin's back, but said disdainfully: "King Yu doesn't care about this person, he was supported by Sun Shoufa as King Qin , but he didn’t have the imperial family’s jade certificate on him. After Qin Wang’s mansion was breached by Li thief, the old man in Qin’s mansion had long since disappeared. I have always had doubts about setting his title of knighthood."

The Ming Dynasty kept the imperial clan in captivity, and the feudal clans were not allowed to communicate with each other. Many feudal lords never left the fief after they were born, and their identities were identified only by the jade certificates issued by the court. This situation is very common.

The group of them was just waiting for King Yu, and King Xiang didn't want to waste any more time, so he gave King Yi a blank look, "What are you talking about?" Then he said to King Yu: "King Tang and King Lu don't seem to be If you are willing to turn against Wang Yan in the open, then we will not force you, but King Yu can no longer refuse!"

This group of clans were not stupid, they knew that they would not be able to twist Wang Yan's thick legs alone, so they had to pull on King Yu.

Zhu Yu'e thought about what the King of Tang had just said, pondered for a while, and finally decided that it's okay to go there, maybe it can earn him a lot of political capital.

He pulled the skirt of his clothes, and said seriously: "At this time, how can I escape, let's go together."

Seeing that he was so responsible, everyone was overjoyed. King Xiang immediately called for a carriage and waited for more than 20 vassals to leave. After ordering, he continued to stay outside the clan mansion.

Not far from the Clan Mansion, near Taiping Bridge, there is a large restaurant covering an area of ​​about five acres, called Juxian Building, which was opened less than two months ago. It turned out to be the property of a marquis in Nanjing. During the turmoil, the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were greatly damaged by being exiled to Qiongzhou by Xiaojue. The gentry from Guangdong, Guangxi, Huguang, and Jiangxi took advantage of it and bought a large number of assets that originally belonged to the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This Juxian Building originally fell into the hands of a company in Guangdong, but because a group of seagoing ships of the company were hit by a storm, the company lost a lot of money, so they took out the building for silver turnover, and it was bought by a wealthy family in Jiangxi. One of the best restaurants in the city has been full every day since its opening, and the business is extremely prosperous.

Because behind this building is the rich family of Jiangxi, this place has gradually become a meeting place for ministers who support the Tang Dynasty. For them, compared with other restaurants, it is safer, and the content of the conversation is not easy to be leaked.

The clan chose this place because they valued this point, and of course there was a hint of wanting to drag King Tang into the water.

Among these vassals, most of them followed the Longwu court all the way to the south and did not have a deep friendship with the King of Lu, and the King of Lu would not stand up for them for their own benefit. They also knew that they were not the opponents of the Chu Party, so they tried every means to win Tang Fan called the shots for them.

The king of Tang had already told the king of Yu not to take part in the actions of the clans, but the king of Yu was young and vigorous, and he had resentment towards Wang Yan, especially because Wang Yan controlled the court, but he had to stand aside from the Tang family. made him extremely dissatisfied.

After leaving the door, King Yu agreed upon seeing the invitation of the vassals. He didn't need to participate, but he hinted a few words that there should be no problem for the clan to trouble Wang Yan, and he would not be caught for any reason.

When the group arrived at Juxian Building, the shopkeeper hurriedly came out to greet them and vacated a large private room on the top floor for them.

There are so many dignitaries in Nanjing, no one can offend them, so the restaurant usually reserves a few high-end private rooms to prevent these dignitaries from coming over suddenly.

More than 20 princes and county kings came to the private room on the top floor, but it was not crowded at all, but very empty. King Yi took out a Wude ticket of 5000 taels and handed it to the shopkeeper who took them upstairs. The pie industry, he can't eat the overlord's meal.

Everyone sat down in the private room according to their power and seniority. After the young servant served tea and the fruit left, King Yi leaned in the direction of King Yu, and asked in a low voice: "King Yu, what is the king's opinion on the move of the vassal? What exactly does Taiwan mean? The only people the clan can talk about in the court are Tang Wang and Lu Wang. If they don’t care, then our Zhu family will be bullied to death by Wang Yan.”

The private room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked to King Yu that the clans had long lost their rights, and they could eat and drink all the time because of the guarantee of imperial power. He doesn't have much power, so he can only hope for King Tang who still holds power.

A few years ago, Tang Fan was just an ordinary vassal king of Ming Dynasty, because his lineage was too far away from Shenzong's lineage, he basically didn't have much say in the clan. King Yu enjoyed this feeling of being surrounded by stars.

"Brother Wang also has his own difficulties. Moving the vassal to Taiwan is not only the idea of ​​the Chu Party, but the entire civil society has almost the same opinion, including the expansion of the Zhejiang Party, and most of the ministers under Brother Wang also agree with this policy. The King of Lu was unwilling to speak out because of Jiangbei's affairs, so the cabinet and the meeting hall passed the proposal to move the vassal to Taiwan." Yu Wang frowned, so he said: "According to the rules of the court, after the cabinet and the meeting hall have passed , although Brother Wang is the King of Lizheng, he can no longer have any objections, so Brother Wang cannot speak out, and all clan relatives must understand."

After hearing this, everyone's face became ugly immediately, and there was a silence in the private room, some timid clansmen whispered: "Since King Tang and King Lu dare not speak out, or we should accept the relocation."

The speaker was a vassal king who had escaped from the north. Moving to Taiwan would harm his interests in the long run, but it was not unacceptable in the short term. At least he didn’t have to be under the fence of others. Seeing that there was no leader with thick legs, he flinched a little. meaning.

When King Xiang heard this, his face was stern, and he immediately sent a table to the table, "At this time, whoever dares to accept the relocation is the sinner of the Zhu family, and this feudal clan will definitely not avoid him."

Most of the clans that escaped from the north were supported by the clans in the south, and the speaker immediately lowered his head.

"That's right, we are all good fields. The accumulation of several generations of the royal family, why should we switch to Taiwan, and why should we collect taxes from the clan? Isn't this world the Zhu family's?" Yi Wang said bitterly.

The atmosphere in the private room became a little restless, Liao King Zhu Shugui worried: "After all, the King of Chu is in power now, and the imperial court only gives half a month's time, if the imperial court really revokes our land deed, what should we do?"

"They dare, they cornered me, I'll kill..." King Xiang stared, half-spoken, but didn't dare to say anything later.

Although he has a violent temper, he is not stupid. Wang Yan's servant is particularly afraid of death. background, but he couldn't guarantee that what he said could reach Wang Yan's ears.

Thinking about how many gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were set up by Wang Yan before, how many people were cheated and went bankrupt, Xie Sanbin died so badly, and many vassal kings in the private room felt a chill down their backs.

Wang Yan is the Prince Regent, and he is not a young man. Even if he wants to assassinate him, he must go through careful planning and cultivate a reliable killer. Like this kind of impromptu idea, I am afraid that he will be involved first before the plan is perfected.

Sitting in front of him was a negative example, King Xiang realized that he had said something wrong, his face was flushed, and a needle could be heard in the room, he was shocked by his words and immediately fell silent.

Seeing this, King Yu coughed slightly and broke the silence, "King Xiang lost his composure for a while, please don't mind it."

Everyone laughed awkwardly, King Yu glanced at them, then lowered his head and played with a jade pendant on his waist, pretending to say casually: "Actually, don't worry about King Chu so much, King Chu has principles in doing things, as long as the clan If you don’t break the law, the king of Chu will not do anything to the clan. After all, the world is still called Daming, and the emperor’s surname is still Zhu. Brother Wang can’t decide this matter now, but maybe someone can speak for the clan, and the clan has the right to express dissatisfaction. There are still some."

After hearing this, King Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, he moved his buttocks, and leaned towards King Yu, as if he could hear it more clearly.

"What does King Yu mean?"

"Gu didn't say anything!" Zhu Lv'e smiled slightly and stood up, "I just remembered that brother Wang explained something, so Gu left first!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Lv'e walked out of the private room directly, and all the vassals inside occupied them, sending him out for some unknown circumstances.

Everyone murmured, and King Xiang was a little confused, "What does King Yu mean?"

King Yi narrowed his eyes, as if he had grasped the essence and got the true biography, "The fields of King Tang and King Lu didn't go to the Ministry of Households to exchange contracts, did they?"

"It doesn't seem to be there. I sent someone to watch at the entrance of the household gate. As long as it is the clan, they will block it directly."
