Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1098 Cutting Qi Fan

   Zhu Youzhu almost vomited blood when he heard it.

   I dare you to deceive me, and I still want to thank you?

  He snorted coldly in his heart.

   What a brat who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

  Zhu Youzhuo said: "Your Majesty, listen, listen to what Fang Jifan is talking about... Where is he going to put the clans? Your Majesty..."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned, glanced at Fang Jifan, and seemed to feel that what Fang Jifan said was very inappropriate.

  Emperor Hongzhi just wanted to say something.

   Then I heard Zhu Youzhu say: "Your Majesty and all the officials are invited to comment. This Fang Jifan has distorted the ancestral law of Emperor Gaozu so much. Is this still human? The ancestral law is so embarrassing!"

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but glance at Fang Jifan again, frowning.

  I thought to myself, this matter can't go on, not to mention that the DPRK and China are bound to be violent, even the clans don't know how terrified they are after hearing these words.

   This is shaking the country.

  Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "Fang Qing's family, don't talk about it anymore. What Qing said is really..."

  He just talked about the real time.

  Suddenly, in the hall, Ma Wensheng boldly said: "It really makes sense!"

  Zhu Youzhu is preparing to mobilize everyone, and the other party's successors will attack.

   It is said that Fang Jifan is not very popular.

   Not only that, but I also heard that all the officials and officials are making fun of the matter of calling the clan.

  He was trembling in his heart, just waiting, a few ministers who had already passed the gas came out, took the lead, and sternly asked the emperor to punish Fang Jifan.

  With the support of hundreds of officials and countless clans behind him, strangling Fang Jifan to death is not as easy as strangling an ant.

only…

   Ma Wensheng said: "It really makes sense", but Zhu Youzhao was a little confused.

  What makes sense?

  Hundred officials...surprisingly silent.

  Emperor Hongzhi seemed a little annoyed when his words were interrupted. He couldn't help looking at Ma Wensheng.

   Ma Wensheng was an important minister, his own humerus. Emperor Hongzhi had a lot of trust in him. When he knew that this was what Ma Wensheng said, Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.

Ma Wensheng said seriously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the essence of Emperor Taizu Gao's ancestral law is to think about future generations. But...most of the vassal kings and clans are all over the place of bitter cold. As Qi Guogong said, Their life...is miserable. No matter how difficult it is for the Ming Dynasty, they must not let the clansmen live a miserable life. If not, where will the royal family and the court be? The old minister suggested that the clans be called to the capital. Now, the capital A new atmosphere has been opened, especially the new city. This new city is a good place. If the clan members live here for a long time, it will be the best. This is the luck of the country and the clan. The old ministers agree with what Qi Guogong said, Qi Guogong It is really rare to take care of your heart and soul, to share your worries for His Majesty, and to solve problems for your clan members..."

  Zhu Youtang was a little confused.

  He opened his mouth wide and looked at Ma Wensheng. Who is this old bastard? He is with Fang Jifan. Sure enough... a nest of snakes and rats.

  Emperor Hongzhi was even more shocked and speechless.

  Shangshu of the Ministry of War, take care of this business?

   "Nonsense, you... this is a nest of snakes and rats." Zhu Youzhao's face was pale, and he couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask Gao's name."

  Ma Wensheng was upright and awe-inspiring: "Ma Wensheng, I am the Minister of the Ministry of War."

  Zhu Youtang's mind was buzzing.

  The Ministry of War...The Minister of the Ministry of War has colluded with Fang Jifan.

  He desperately searched for a face, hoping... the person who had passed his anger at this moment could speak for himself.

  But those few people turned a blind eye.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Qi is really high-spirited!" Another person stood up, but it was Zhang Chang, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who cried excitedly: "Your Majesty and his ministers are enjoying the blessings in Beijing, but the clansmen are living in remote places." , This is really contrary to the original intention of Emperor Taizu Gao. We should have brought our clansmen to Beijing to enjoy the blessings. It is not too late to make up for it. Your Majesty should make a decision early. If the clansmen are willing to come to Beijing, they will be greeted on their feet, rejoicing and overjoyed."

  Zhu Youzhu wanted to beat his friend to death, didn't he agree, all the officials...

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Sheng also stood up. This person is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. He said with certainty: "Your Majesty should treat the clan relatives kindly, and must not let them lose their places. If the clan relatives are still unfortunate, then the imperial court No face left."

  This person...Zhu Youjian recognized...is the Minister of Rites...

  Zhu Youzhu never imagined that this person would say such a thing.

  Emperor Hongzhi was completely dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty..." The minister of Dali Temple said seriously: "What's more, when the clan members come to Beijing, Your Majesty can see them all the time. The relationship between clan and relatives is a human relationship, so how can it be ignored? People say that your majesty is unkind and alienated." Clan, in order to prevent anyone from talking about it, His Majesty should... call the clan to Beijing, and greet them at any time, with the affection of the whole human relationship!"

   "Your Majesty..."

   "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

  The entire Fengtian Temple exploded.

  Countless people scolded Fang Jifan in their hearts, but praised Fang Jifan one after another.

  Fang Jifan, he is not a human being, but a few days ago, housing prices skyrocketed, and too many people jumped into the trap. Now who owns it, there are not many acres of houses.

   Those who own a house naturally don’t want it to collapse, and those who hold on to using the house to earn money are even worse. The money they bought for the house was all borrowed. Once it collapses, they will be the first to die.

   After much deliberation, how can so much land be digested in the market?

  The only way to stabilize the price of the mansion is to have a group of more powerful people buy wildly. After thinking about it, this group of clansmen is the only way.

   Tens of thousands of clan relatives, even if it is just a Fuguo general, must have a few acres of land to live on. If it's a prince, he doesn't have dozens of acres, so he has the nerve to call himself a prince? There are also the king of the county, the horse of the county, and the general of the auxiliary country, and even... the clans are here, and they have subordinate officials. These subordinate officials are all confidantes of the princes, so how could they not come.

   Most importantly…these people have money.

   There are tens of thousands of people like this, not to mention the 100,000 mu of land listed, no matter how many there are, they can still afford it.

  There is no other way.

  Although I know that this is the law of the ancestors, I also know that doing so will inevitably cause uneasiness and panic in the clan, which may repeat the mistakes of Emperor Jianwen when he cut down the feudal clan.

  But... there must be a way out.

  We can’t die yet, we have to keep our useful bodies, serve His Majesty, and seek the well-being of all people!

  Hundreds of officials, scrambling to be the first, bowed down one after another.

   After only a moment of effort, more than half of them fell to their knees.

That Wang Bushi roared angrily: "Your Majesty should call the clan to Beijing immediately. Anyone who refuses to obey is rejecting His Majesty's kindness. Your Majesty took his heart out and treated his clan members, some of them, but refused to come to Beijing." , Why is this? Could it be that he wants to imitate King Ning and plot rebellion? Your Majesty, the rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished. They don't want to come to the capital to enjoy the blessings. The treacherous and evil...be punished!"

   "Zhu!"

  Someone's eyes were red, and they roared together.

  Zhu Youzhu opened his eyes wide, looking at the ministers who shook their heads and made all kinds of irrational words. He had never seen such a big battle, and he actually said the word "rebellion", and he shivered.

   This is one-sided.

  He glanced at Fang Jifan, but he saw that Fang Jifan was calm and composed. This young man... has won the support of so many people.

  When the word "Zhu" came out, Zhu Youshu shuddered even more.

   After all, he is just a pampered vassal king. He has never seen any big world, but he felt his legs go limp, slapped, and slumped on the ground.

  Then...Zhu Youzhu howled: "Your Majesty... the loyalty of my ministers is a lesson..."

  All of this was never expected by Emperor Hongzhi.

  Looking at the angry ministers, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian.

  He remembered that Liu Qing's family said that once the clan members were called to Beijing, all the officials would definitely oppose it, and the clan members' doubts would also deepen.

  Can now...

   Cut down the feudal clan!

  A thought, like lightning, resurfaced in his mind again.

What a favorable opportunity this is. All the civil and military officials supported them one after another. They summoned the clansmen to come to the capital and completely separated them from the guards and the vassals. The clansmen were in the capital and could accept the supervision of the court at any time. This one So the local emperors, from now on, there will be no precedent for King Ning again.

  Emperor Hongzhi became excited.

  His expression was as calm as he could.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't imagine that the Zhang brothers and Fang Jifan had such a huge appeal.

How is this going?

  The brothers of the Zhang family... obviously don't look like people who do big things.

   This must have been done by Fang Jifan.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep look at Fang Jifan, the joy on his face was fleeting, and then...Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xing Wang Zhu Youzhao with a look of embarrassment: "The words of all the ministers have some truth, I don't know Xing Wang What do you think?"

  The ball was kicked back to Xing Wang Zhu Youzhuo's feet.

  Zhu Youtang's heart felt chilly.

  Hundred officials represent the temple, and also represent the attitude of the entire scholar-bureaucrat class.

  They have mastered public opinion, and even have the power to interpret all ancestral laws and all legal provisions.

  Now...they have all said that calling the clan members is to enjoy the blessings.

  Whoever refuses to come must be plotting something wrong.

  Then... what can I say.

Zhu Youzhu trembled, prostrated himself on the ground, and said in fear and anxiety: "My brother...my brother...I thought...your majesty summoned my ministers to settle in Beijing. If I think about it...if I think about it, it must be because of your majesty's foresight. My brother is your majesty's brother. If your majesty decides to do so, if so , can be beneficial to the country and the clan, then my brother...how dare to object, my brother...my brother..."

  He wanted to continue opening his mouth, but wow...crying.

   Too wronged.

   This group of people who confuse right and wrong with black and white, all of them are eloquent, and they are all alone, as if they were stripped clean and put on display. At this time, what else can I say?

  He cried: "It's too late for my younger brother to be happy about this."

  …

  There are still others, ask for a monthly pass.
