Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

The champion and the champion are still different.

Some are very transparent, while others are more "deadly".A number one scholar like Zhao Bingzhong is relatively flexible in the "reason of death".

His flexible performance will now look at the general trend.

Seeing that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and Zuo Shilang were praising the emperor for his handling, Zuodu Yushi and the acting minister of the household department also had the same point of view. Although he hadn't fully figured it out, he had already realized that what he had just asked the emperor was reckless.

Later, seeing that the emperor spread out all the inside and hard-to-open things on the table and told him clearly, he immediately bowed and apologized red-faced.

"Your Majesty, it's because I didn't think carefully enough to embarrass Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, "Zhao Qing is a gentleman with sincerity. I, who is a great son of tomorrow, also want to be a gentleman, and I also want to rule like Shenzong. Alas! There are many times when there is no way! Not only can I not be sincere A gentleman, especially when leading the army, has to walk in a treacherous way.

I just came back from Liaodong, I couldn't bear it... Fortunately, Zhao Qing reminded me. "

Zhao Bingzhong pleaded guilty again and again.

"Your Majesty, I have been educated. I know that adhering to the way of a gentleman cannot govern a country, and I also know that adhering to the way of a gentleman cannot lead an army. Especially for those clansmen who don't pay attention to the laws of the country and drag down Ming's finances, once they worry too much, it is useless. The only way to deal with the nearly crushed Hubu vassal is to deal with it."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and said in his heart that it's good if you can think about it, otherwise I will change your place.

After leaving Qianqing Palace, Huang Kezuan and Qiao Yunsheng were both in their seventies, so they immediately detained Zhao Bingzhong in Huang Kezuan's Shangshu Gongfang, broke apart the ground and told him about the vassal king.

Huang Kezuan said worriedly: "Ji Qing, how to punish those vassal kings is up to the emperor himself. I would like to depose them as common people immediately. But as long as we civil servants open our mouths, it is likely to cause the emperor's rebellion. To put it lightly He reprimanded those clan relatives, and then held them high and lightly landed on the surface for punishment."

Qiao Yunsheng said bluntly: "The Son of Heaven is in a good mood today, and he is willing to tell you in detail. But in the future, you will not be so reckless to force the Son of Heaven to admit that he is not a gentleman. You must think twice about what you say, especially in front of the emperor." And then export."

Zhao Bingzhong blushed, got up and thanked the two for their teaching.

Huang Kezuan waved his hands and said, "We two are old. If there is no holiday, look at Wang Zuo, Sun Ruyou, and Li Ruhua as our precedents. Zhou Mingqing sent you to the Ministry of Punishment to be a servant. His Majesty's intentions are clear. , you have to follow His Majesty."

Such heartfelt words were what Huang Kezuan wanted to say to Zhao Bingzhong a long time ago.He is about to retire, and even if his children and grandchildren are taken care of by his students, they are not as good as Zhao Bingzhong, who is about to get the position of Minister of Punishment.Qiao Yunsheng also had the same idea with him, and the two of them talked with Zhao Bingzhong for half an afternoon, which made Zhao Bingzhong both ashamed and grateful.

When he got up again, he was doing disciple salute to Huang Kezuan and Qiao Yunsheng.

The courtiers kept silent about the emperor's drastic reform of the clan, and the censor, who liked to pick bones in eggs, kept silent and did not get involved in this matter.

Even if the Son of Heaven treated King Lu too seriously in anyone's eyes, no one pleaded for King Lu.It is true that Shenzong bought all the jewelry in the capital for King Lujian's wedding, and embezzled more than 90 taels of military expenditure as a supplement to King Lujian's construction of the mansion, which made the courtiers bear a grudge.

Just like what Huang Kezuan said, these clan affairs are related to the world and are also the family affairs of the emperor. If the courtiers speak rashly and provoke the emperor to rebel, it is very likely that the gains outweigh the losses.

But after thinking about it philosophically, considering Shenzong's kindness to him, King Lu is the son of Shenzong's only younger brother, so he mustered up the courage to ask the emperor to intercede for King Lu Zhu Changxiao.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that King Lu can be treated almost the same as King Rui and King Hui."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Fang Congzhe and said nothing.

Fang Congzhe bit the bullet and continued on his own: "Although Shenzong pampered King Lujian, the current King Lu was only a seven or eight-year-old baby when his father King Lujian passed away. He was three years old. He was promoted to King Lu before. When those violations happened, not to mention that he was not yet able to be the master of King Lu's mansion, the old officials didn't understand those things.

The temple did not correct King Lu's mansion when King Lujian was building his mausoleum, and no one taught King Lujian the illegal things he did when he was alive, so he developed overrule in his heart. , Breaking the law is a normal idea.

Another old official heard that Lu Wang's mansion is still under the control of Lu Jian Wang's concubine, that Lu Wang was not born as a descendant, and his biological mother died young.

If His Majesty is willing to order the Ministry of Rites to teach him, the veterans will see him as extremely cowardly and weak, and he will definitely abide by the court's laws in the future. "

"Any more?"

Fang Congzhe choked up for a moment, and then said: "When Guangmiao was young, he was able to grow up safely in the inner court thanks to the protection of Empress Dowager Li. Otherwise, it would have been even more difficult for Guangmiao to be favored by Concubine Zheng and Queen Fu.

Your Majesty, please take it for the sake of the old dowager, and give Lu Wang's brothers and sisters a county prince's mansion in Beijing, which is similar to Duan Wang's mansion and Hui Wang's mansion, and can also make the late emperor worthy of the old dowager's treatment of him 's support. "

Fang Congzhe knelt down as he spoke, and solemnly kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao.

After Fang Congzhe kowtowed three times, Zhu Youxiao signaled Fang Zhenghua to help him up.This old Shoufu, alas... I didn't expect that there were more than one civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty who received the favor of Emperor Wanli, but Fang Congzhe was the only one who interceded for the orphan of his beloved brother.

"Fang Qing, you said King Lu would obey the law if someone taught him? How dare you vouch for him?"

Fang Congzhe thought for a while and said: "If your majesty can trust the old minister, the old minister suggests that your majesty put King Lu to study with Wulang."

Zhu Youxiao didn't comment on Fang Congzhe's proposal, but instead said: "Then Lu Wangfu's overreach and other things have to be taken care of?"

Fang Congzhe immediately said: "Concubine Li of the Lu Palace has been in charge of the Lu Palace for many years, regardless of the fact that King Lujian was alive, but King Lujian passed away in Wanli 44, so she should have taken care of the six years. "

"Okay, you take the fold."

Fang Congzhe knelt down to kowtow to Zhu Youxiao again, full of gratitude to the emperor, so he was worthy of Shenzong's trust in him.At the next day's court meeting, he recited his plea to King Lu in Qianqing Palace.

It stunned all the officials who participated in the Great Court Meeting.

But no one dared to say that what Fang Congzhe said was wrong.

All the things about King Lujian happened when Shenzong was alive, and it can be found out that Queen Mother Li, Shenzong's mother and son doted on King Lujian.Its mausoleum is overstepped like a son of heaven, and in the hearts of Empress Dowager Li and Shenzong, that is what it should be.After all, Lu Wang was abolished because of the violation of the system and the law that his late father and aunt's mother sat down.

Fang Congzhe finished reading his notes, and no one agreed or opposed him.

Zhu Youxiao waited for a while, then broke the silence and asked, "My dear fellows, do you think what Fang Shoufu said makes sense?"

Fang Congzhe looked at Ye Xianggao.

Ye Xianggao was helpless, complaining that Fang Congzhe was troublesome in his heart, but in view of his years of friendship and alliance with Fang Congzhe, he had no choice but to speak up.

"Your Majesty, I think what Fang Shoufu said makes sense. The sage said that killing him without teaching is called abuse. King Lu has lost his mother and father. He still hasn't taken charge of the palace. Your Majesty, please don't abolish him." I am a common man. Please, Your Majesty, take pity on King Lu for the sake of Empress Dowager Li protecting the late Emperor."

Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly.

Huang Kezuan immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that after the death of King Lujian, the concubine of King Lujian took control of Prince Lu's mansion, so she should be responsible for some of the illegal violations of Prince Lu's mansion."

See, there are smart people going after those in power who should be held accountable.

The Dachaohui only mentioned the matter of King Lu, and when discussing the matter with the subsequent six ministries and seven ministers, Zhu Youxiao agreed to Fang Congzhe's request to lower Luwang's mansion to the treatment of the county king's mansion, abolish the title of Concubine Li, and keep the four brothers and sisters of King Lu. The people were resettled in the Luwang Mansion in the capital.Let Lu Wang brothers and Zhu Youjian study together, and the two princesses enter the palace to study with the three princesses as companions.

Afterwards, Fang Congzhe told Ye Xianggao about it.

"Jinqing, Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous. This old man will have the face to see Guangmiao in the future."

These words made Ye Xianggao choke to the point of vomiting blood.

But there is no way, Fang Congzhe is the chief assistant recommended by himself, alas!

When autumn came, there was no more prince in Daming territory.There were less than thirty county kings, and a few princes who did not come to guard the spirit of the second emperor were directly expelled from the country and demoted to common people.The charges are resisting the decree, disrespecting the first emperor, and despising the emperor.

A large number of county kings were demoted to generals of the country, because they came to Beijing to guard the spirit of the second emperor.As for the [-] county kings who did not come to Beijing, they were all charged with the same crimes as those princes, and they all turned their nobles into common people.

For clans with titles, a bigger blow still lies in front of them.The change in succession of titles clearly told them: If there is no legitimate son, the vassal will be removed; the concubine will no longer have a title and salary;

Every member of the clan has bad deeds and blames the county kings of each clan; or the county kings of each small clan.Those who have the title of general will be removed from the crime, let alone those who only have the title of lieutenant.

At the same time, the emperor also opened up a way of life for the clan. Except for the county king and the prince's son, other people can engage in any occupation in Ming Dynasty to make a living. The imperial court no longer encloses the clan as pigs.

The author has something to say: the disposition of the clan is over
