Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 561 Taking Back the Fief
Chapter 581 Taking Back the Fief
In the end, Ying Zheng did not agree to Princess Loulan's request.

After the banquet ended, all kinds of things that happened in the Efang Palace banquet had spread rapidly throughout Xianyang without the help of the Black Ice Terrace, and spread rapidly towards the entire Guanzhong and even other parts of Daqin beyond Guanzhong.

Yingzheng's four glasses of wine before the banquet made the name of the Holy Son of Heaven more popular in the hearts of the people.A song "serve the country with allegiance" became popular throughout Daqin.

As a result, in the later Daqin, if anyone can't hum a few words to serve the country with loyalty, then he will be despised by countless people.

And the soldiers of the various armies of the Great Qin Dynasty repeatedly sang this song "Serve the country faithfully and faithfully".

Princess Yiya of Loulan also became a household name in Xianyang because of her miraculous dance.However, compared to His Majesty's song "Serving the Country with Loyalty", Princess Loulan's popularity is much weaker.

The fact that the emperor gave freedom to the six kings, queens, concubines and princesses made the people of the six countries rejoice, but at the same time, they also had a greater sense of belonging to Daqin.

After all, it is a fact that the Six Kingdoms no longer exist at this moment, and it is also a fact that Daqin is becoming stronger and better for the descendants and people of the Six Kingdoms.

Different from the ordinary people who are full of excitement and celebration, there are honorable families in Xianyang and even Guanzhong.But it was gloomy.

The work of returning the fief extends from the old Qin family to the present Xungui family.

While many people were still lingering in their hearts, Meng Tian had already implicitly expressed the thoughts of the Meng family by submitting the memorial to the emperor, that is, they hoped that the emperor would not be in a hurry, and no matter what, the Meng family would stand by the emperor. side meaning.

At the same time, Zheng Guo, Ma Xing, Zhang Han and others also expressed their willingness to hand over their fiefs to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households.

In the afternoon of the same day, the old Qin family in Guanzhong, represented by the Fan clan, the Su clan, and the Fang clan, officially handed over all the fief household registration lists prepared by the three clans to Li You.

At the same time, a large number of nobles from the old Qin family in Guanzhong began to hand over the fief documents of their mansions to the household department one after another.

Compared with the previous looting of the Qiang people, such a small amount of fiefdom is really hard to get into their eyes.

There are many honorable families in the Great Qin Dynasty, especially the few wealthy families. The situation of the Wang family should be the most complicated today.

Wang Jian died suddenly on the battlefield. After Wang Jian's death, the Wang family experienced a lot of fluctuations. Finally, because of Ying Gang's relationship, the Wang family gradually stabilized.

Although Wang Ben is the head of the family, he is away all the year round. Wang Li is still young enough to take on the important responsibilities of the clan. Therefore, Wang Jian's younger brother Wang Kun handles many matters in the clan.

Although Wang Kun was a bit reluctant, he still knew the current affairs and handed over all the fiefdoms without too much hesitation.

Under such circumstances, Yao Jia, Hu Wujing and others who originally wanted to see the direction of the wind also reluctantly handed over the household registration register, land contract and other things to Li You.

With things at this point, Ying Zheng already knew that the big thing was over.

The rest of the people hand in or not, in fact, the impact is almost equal to zero.

When the court makes it clear, it must be handed over, or it must be handed over if it is not.

On the third day after the banquet, more than [-] marquises and nobles who belonged to Daqin arrived at the Yizheng Hall under the leadership of Zheng Lun.

After some greetings, Ying Zheng sat on the emperor's throne in the Yizheng Hall, and Ying Gang was by his side.

Unlike Ying Zheng's calmness, today's Ying Gang looks very dark.

Before Yingzheng could speak, Ying Gang first said: "I think you have heard about the important events in the court. I know that you are very afraid that the court will forcefully take action. Don't worry, the court will not act like this unless it is absolutely necessary. How do you say it?" All the lovers have contributed to Daqin."

This is Ying Gang's opening remarks.

However, this opening remark made Ma Xing and the others even paler.

I will not act like this unless it is absolutely necessary, so in other words, once it is a last resort, I will do it more absolutely than anyone else?

Well, the imperial court is for the knife and I am for the fish.

If you don't know the current affairs at this time, you are really courting death.

"Your Majesty is willing to return the fief bestowed by His Majesty the First Emperor to the Ministry of Household Affairs. The old minister is old. Please allow the old minister to recall his family back to Xianyang for retirement!"

Ma Xing looked at the person who spoke in horror, with uncontrollable resentment in his eyes.He didn't expect that the first one to defect would be Dongling Hou Zhaoping, who had always said that he wanted to fight the emperor to the end.

Not only did Zhao Ping turn against him, but he also bit himself and others severely.He is even willing to move the whole family to Xianyang for the elderly.

What is the emperor most worried about?
It's just that they are worried that the generals and courtiers of the six countries will stay in their homeland.

Now that Zhao Ping took the initiative to say such a thing, it was tantamount to solving a difficult problem for Ying Zheng.

When Ying Zheng is happy, maybe he will be rewarded.

But he was relieved. For many masters who originally planned to fight to the end, they even wanted to die at this moment.

If it wasn't for Ying Zheng, they might have fought and beat this brazen man to death.

But unfortunately, in the end they didn't have any chance.

After Li You handed over the land title deed and household register of the Li family to the Ministry of Households, the honorable families in Xianyang and Guanzhong knew that the resumption of the fief was irreversible, and they began to sort it out one after another. The household registration registers and land title deeds in their respective fiefdoms are handed over to the household department.

Driven by several top giants, the great and small aristocrats in Xianyang City and even Guanzhong have already made their choices.

So many honorable families started to check the land property and household registration just a few days after New Year's Eve. The movement is naturally not too small. The matter concerning the emperor's plan to take back all the honorable families and the fiefs bestowed by various titles in the court has finally passed. Some channels spread out.

In the matter of taking back the fiefs, it is naturally the country that benefits in the end, but now it is the common people in the fiefs that really benefit directly.

Fortunately, Ying Zheng didn't take all the credit for himself or the court, and he didn't want to make a big fuss about this matter.Secretly issued an order to the household department and various honorable families to handle the handover in a low-key manner.

After all, in the final analysis, most of these fiefdoms were bestowed on meritorious ministers by themselves.Now I have to take back all the fiefdoms, although it is beneficial to the people and the Great Qin.But it can't help but give a noble family a sense of killing donkeys.

In this low-key handover, Yingzheng ordered all the honorable families to inform the people in each fief in the name of "compassion for the suffering of the people, and the decree of the imperial court".

In the future, all taxes and taxes in the fief will be managed by the officials of the household department.Pay according to the tax set by the court without paying any offerings to them.But it is the only thing that did not clearly state that this fief is no longer the property of each noble family.

In this way, the people in the fief who did not enjoy the tax-free treatment naturally changed their impression of a noble family.It can be regarded as Ying Zheng's small compensation for the grievances of the honorable family.

Of course, this compensation is naturally not the case.
