Chapter 176: Standing

If the political power doesn't allow us to mix, then we will have children when we are idle at home and have nothing to do.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty, which has been nearly 300 years old, gave birth to more than one million royal families.

From ancient times to the present, there is no other.

It is a good thing that there is strength in numbers, but it is a tragic thing for the people.

For every additional royal family, the people have to have an extra offering, and with the fiefdom of the royal family, the pressure on the people's lives is increasing day by day.

The best land in the world is increasingly concentrated in the hands of the royal family.

Many royal palaces occupy tens of thousands of hectares of land, such as King Jing and King Lu in Huguang and other places as much as 40,000 or 50,000 hectares of land, King Fu has more than 20,000 hectares, King Gui, King Hui, and King Rui each have more than 30,000 hectares, King Ji has 7 or 8,000 hectares in Changsha alone, and even more, more than half of the land in Henan is owned by the palaces.

It is conceivable that the people of Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Huguang hate the royal family?

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty in Shanxi Province was only 10,000 stones, but in the Jiajing period, it had reached 870,000 stones.

Henan Zhou Wangfu, the annual income reached 690,000 stone .......

In the later period, the annual income of the imperial court could not pay the royalties of the local palaces, for example, Shanxi received 1.52 million stone per year, but the annual income to the princes of Shanxi was 3.2 million stones. Henan has an annual income of 840,000 stones, and it needs to kill 1.92 million stone ...... for the princes.

With the vast land of China, it is impossible to support a family with the strength of the whole country.

It's ridiculous to the extreme.

This is just one of the reasons why the royal family suffered from the resentment of the people in Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Huguang and other places.

More importantly, the royal family also competed with the people for profit, oppressed and exploited the people.

They take advantage of their transcendent status and ignore the law of the country, not to mention ordinary low-level people, and even the local government is being oppressed.

In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, Zongyi, the prince of Ninghua, dared to beat up a court member like a dignified political envoy.

Because the royal family enjoys privileges, they can be punished but not punished when they are guilty, so the palace has become a place to hide filth and dirt, and many palaces have become the umbrella of the underworld, and even the largest underworld force itself.

In the fifth year of Jiajing, the general of Qingcheng Mansion hid the big thief.

In the second year of Longqing, Zhu Xinyuan, the lieutenant of Fangshan Wangfu Zhenguo, secretly communicated with a group of thieves and plundered merchants.

The lieutenant of the auxiliary state of the Xiangyuan Royal Mansion and the lieutenant of the auxiliary state of the Changhua royal palace went out of the forbidden city privately to rob the .......

As for robbing people's daughters and the like, it's too pediatric.

Zhu Zailun, the king of Hui in Yuzhou, Henan, met a beautiful woman crossing the river, and forcibly snatched it to prostitution, but the woman was too young to do a good thing, so he was furious and threw the woman into the tiger cage.

Zhu Qili in Wugang Prefecture...... Well, almost all of them have been stained with their fingers.

Everything flourishes and declines, and when Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and others rise up, the reckoning will come.

Wherever the rebel armies passed, the once illustrious and gorgeous palaces were wiped out.

The Shanxi royal family bore the brunt, and more than 300 people of the Xihe Wang clan in Pingyang were wiped out.

Fenyang has almost become a Rakshasa country.

The Jin King clan of Taiyuan was killed by Li Zicheng more than 400 people, and the clan was almost wiped out.

In Shanxi alone, more than 10,000 people were killed by the royal family surnamed Zhu.

In other words, before the Qing army entered the customs, the Ming royal family where the righteous army passed had been purged.

One can imagine the degree of hatred of the people in those places towards the royal family.

But Jiangnan is different, there are many people reading in Jiangnan.

As long as a person reads a book, he will understand etiquette, and if he understands etiquette, he will obey him, and he will become obedient to the people.

In addition, compared with those places where the royal family abused, the area south of the Yangtze River is indeed relatively stable, and the lives of the people are better.

Therefore, when facing foreign invasions, you must be more loyal than those places.

Unlike those places, when facing the arrival of the Qing army, the whole city cheered, blaming the Qing army for coming late.

Zhu Yujiao's refusal directly made it impossible to implement the imperial court resolution.

Wu Zheng and Zhang Huangyan really couldn't find a better way.

This is not a rebellion, it can directly overthrow the superior from the throne.

This is support, and the parties do not agree, so you can't force the head of the ox to drink, right?

What's more, she is a princess, and the reason is on her side.

Wu Zheng could only put this matter aside for the time being, Wu Zhuang's father was going to visit, and there were still military affairs in the cottage that he needed to deal with, so he handed over the affairs of Shaoxing Mansion to Zhang Huangyan for the time being.

……。

After Wu Zheng and Zhang Huangyan left.

Uncle Zheng couldn't help but admonish Zhu Yujiao: "Why didn't Your Highness agree to Lin Anbo, now the army in the hands of Lin Anbo has nearly 100,000 people, and Hangzhou and Jiaxing are also in his hands, and the power of our dynasty far exceeds that of King Lu when he was in prison." Even if His Royal Highness is unwilling to bear this burden with a delicate body, he might as well come down first, after all, His Royal Highness is a princess of the royal family, and in the future, it is not too late to find a good talent from the royal family, and then entrust the society? ”

Uncle Zheng's words can be said to be old and seeking the country, standing in the position of the royal family surnamed Zhu, which is understandable.

At this juncture, Zhu Yujiao should not be, which will cause civil strife.

Wu Zheng and the ministers have publicly resolved to support Zhu Yujiao, so they can't get along with Zhu Yihai anymore.

Even if the two are not in a situation, there is no room for maneuver.

Zhu Yujiao should not be at this time, and there will be a backlash between Shaoxing Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion, and even Wu Zheng will not do anything and annex Shaoxing Mansion, which is not impossible.

In this way, the Zhu family really lost their foothold in Shaoxing Mansion.

And if Zhu Yujiao agrees, no matter whether Wu Zheng plays Cao Apu in the future, this position is still in the hands of the Zhu family.

After listening to Uncle Zheng's words, Zhu Yujiao sighed lightly, "This palace is just a woman, and she doesn't know about government affairs and military affairs, even if she is in charge of the country in name, she is just like a puppet, and it is difficult to bear such a heavy burden." This palace knows in his heart that Wu Zheng came to persuade him today, and his intention is still for the sake of this Ming Dynasty, and as for what will happen in the future, it is useless to think about it. ”

Uncle Zheng said: "That slave doesn't know why His Highness refuses? ”

"If this palace should not, even if I am estranged from him, we are still friends. But if you do, you are a monarch and a minister. If you are a monarch and a minister, you will definitely quarrel for your subordinates and interests, so that you are afraid that the opposition will not be far away, and you will be afraid of ...... I can't even make it with friends. ”

After speaking, a mist surged up in Zhu Yujiao's eyes.

Uncle Zheng was stunned at first, and then lowered his head and sighed, Her Royal Highness the princess is a woman after all, facing the Zongmiao Society, but what she thinks of is the love of children.

But Uncle Zheng didn't dare to persuade again, and he couldn't bear to persuade again, with Zhu Yujiao all the way, although the two were called master and servant, but the relationship was like father and daughter, and Uncle Zheng also hoped that Zhu Yujiao would have a good home.

So, the two became relatively silent.
