Chapter 429: The Lord and the Qinglou
King Lu was terrified, in fact, he could see that as a vassal king, no one could do anything to him, even Wang Yue, he only wanted to send him to Liaodong, and promised him a county.
If he can choose, of course he is not willing to give up the comfortable Yanzhou Mansion, but if he doesn't have a choice, it is not impossible to go to Liaodong.
Moreover, Yan Shenggong's whole family was arrested, which shocked King Lu, and he had already thought about it.
It's a pity that the palace is not a heart, but his baby brother Pavilion Tao Wang doesn't want to go, not only does he not want to go, he also mobilized manpower, gathered a lot of Shandong heroes, and chose to do it in Dezhou, clearly protecting the Kong family, but in fact, he wanted to make things bigger, make it impossible to clean up, and force the court to bow his head.
After all, everyone understands the truth that trees fall and scatter.
The imperial court may have given preferential treatment to King Lu and arranged everything for him, but it is unlikely that it will take care of thousands of clans.
They are used to being idle, and they are surrounded by people who are waiting.
went to the four counties of Liaodong, what should they do?
Is there anyone else waiting?
I'm afraid not only not, but also serving others. Even if you don't have to leave Yanzhou, you can lose the protection of the palace, and you will become an ordinary person in an instant, and the wolf-like army of the government will clear their heads at any time, which is even more intolerable to all clans.
What to do?
It seems that there is only one way to tear the skin and make a big fuss, so that the court is afraid, and it will take back its fate, and everything will be easy to say.
In Yanzhou City, the prefect and county yamen have been smashed, this is not enjoyable, just come to a ruthless one!
What the imperial court cares about most is luck.
There are more than one million people in the capital, and so many soldiers on the nine sides, all rely on Cao Yun.
And without food, they will starve to death.
It just so happens that for so many years, King Lu has a lot of power in Caoyun.
Many of the people of Caoyun were brought by the palace.
Many of the merchants who came and went through the canal relied on the protection of the Lu Wangfu to do business smoothly.
It's time for you to work hard for the palace!
Two grain ships, but they are just hors d'oeuvres.
Soon after, a grain warehouse caught fire.
There were also bandits who took the opportunity to kill, looted the merchants, set fire to the warehouses, and burned the chaos to Jining Prefecture and Dongping Prefecture.
It's messy, and the whole southwest of Lu is in a mess!
It's only been a few days, and it's all shattered and can't be cleaned up.
King Lu worries every day and is in pain.
These bastards, they hate me for not dying!
"Uncle Fuyuan, Xiao Wang, please beg you, let me go out, I'll go and tell them, let them be honest and ask the court for their guilt. Even if the clan identity is removed, it is deserved. We can't go on any more, or our guilt will be too great! It's a thousand cuts! β
King Lu said, and actually fell to his knees!
The prince of the dignified clan knelt down to a courtier.
He was in tears, and he looked pitiful.
Wang Yue's nose snorted, without any sympathy.
"His Royal Highness King Lu, haven't you seen it clearly until now? Those children of the clan want to coerce your Royal Highness King Lu to fight against the imperial court. And there are other people who also want to coerce the clan, attack the government, and cause even more chaos. If this is not the case, how can the Yanzhou Mansion be vulnerable? And those who set the fire, are they really clansmen? β
"Oops!"
King Lu cried excitedly, he even knelt and climbed two steps, grabbed Wang Yue's official uniform, and was grateful!
"Uncle Fuyuan! You are really discerning, and you are so perceptive! This, there are bad people behind this, yes, it really has nothing to do with Xiao Wang! Yes, it doesn't have much to do with the clan of the Lu Palace...... I, we have been wronged! β
Wang Yue smiled.
"His Royal Highness King Lu, if you want to get away with it, I don't want to fall out with the clan...... But in the end, it is you who can help you. I'm also very curious, who has such the courage to coerce the clan into making trouble, and can use the emperor and nobles as a gunman, the water in your Shandong is quite deep! β
King Lu didn't know whether Wang Yue was teasing or mocking...... All in all, he's in a terrible mood right now.
In the final analysis, as an emperor and a noble vassal king, he can't and shouldn't look for death.
The Ming Dynasty did not have a rule not to kill scholars, and as for the royal family, it was not a gold medal for avoiding death, not to mention far away, King Ning had only been dead for a few years!
Forgot!
Can you forget!
"Lord Wang, Uncle Fuyuan! Small, Xiao Wang has a love in return! β
This one was really anxious, "I, I know who is fanning the flames behind the scenes and confronting the imperial court." β
Wang Yue chuckled, "Really? So, did you find the blame? β
"Behind the pot?" King Lu hesitated slightly, and immediately changed color and said excitedly: "Uncle Fuyuan, please believe Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang will never dare to joke with the lives of so many people in King Lu's Mansion...... My lord, do you know about Nishan Academy? β
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What? Blame the Kong family again? β
King Lu shook his head vigorously, "Lord Wang, Xiao Wang doesn't dare to have half a lie, otherwise Lord Wang will cut Xiao Wang now, and I have no complaints!" This, this Nishan Academy, was indeed built by the Confucian Mansion. But over the years, there is no capable person in the Confucian Mansion who can preside over the overall situation of the academy, so he invited a great Confucian, this person is called Mao Yi! After he arrived at Nishan Academy, he invited many Shandong celebrities to gather a group of people in the name of revitalizing learning and education. Over the years, they have had a lot of complaints about the imperial court, and they have also criticized Uncle Fuyuan! β
"Mao Yi!"
Wang Yue frowned and said in a low voice; "Does he have a clan brother named Mao Ji?"
"That's right! That is, it's Mao Ge Lao! Does Lord Wang know? β
Wang Yue was dumbfounded, could he not know?
That old Mao Ge is still his subordinate!
I think that Mao Ji was Yang Tinghe's horse boy, and after being overturned by Wang Yue, he was sent to the Siyi Pavilion to repair the book.
Later, Wang Yue went out to train the army, and Mao Ji wrote a letter to resign under the pretext of old age and infirmity, which was allowed to return to his hometown in Shandong.
Years have passed, and I don't know if he is dead or alive!
When King Lu saw Wang Yue thinking, he snorted and cried, and complained to Wang Yue, "Uncle Fuyuan, in the final analysis, we are all surnamed Zhu, and our Majesty's discounted bones are connected to the tendons. Our glory and wealth are not all tied to the Ming Emperor...... We also want to be good to Jiangshan Sheji, they are all those who read, they have a lot of flowers, and he has played all our big guys. β
"Shut up!"
Wang Yue scolded angrily and interrupted King Lu's words, "If you really understand the righteousness, why don't you write in the morning and make it clear to Your Majesty?" How much wealth do you clan disciples have to consume every year? How much land have you occupied? In the name of the clan, neither paying taxes nor serving, sitting and eating empty mountains, no matter how big the Ming Dynasty is, can you stand up to it? Not to mention anything else, how much of the taxes in Shandong Province fell to your Lu Wangfu, don't you know? β
Let Wang Yue grab the white this time, and King Lu suddenly had nothing to say.
Not to mention anything else, in Shandong Province, thirty percent of the annual tax revenue is sent to their Lu Wangfu.
Don't look at the fact that there is only one prince, but the king of the county has more than two digits.
There are even more innumerable clans such as the generals of the Zhenguo, the generals of the auxiliary countries, and the lieutenants of the auxiliary countries, and the sum of them accounts for the majority of the wealth of the provinces.
This is still the result of continuous reduction, and even conversion into treasure money...... If it is really in accordance with the provisions of Lao Zhu at the beginning, it will be distributed in full, and the wealth of the entire Ming Dynasty will be filled in, it may not be enough.
The clan issue is almost one of the real malpractices left by Zhu Yuanzhang.
As an emperor, you have to be ruthless!
Utterly cold.
Even if it's your own children and grandchildren, you can't be polite.
Because a momentary soft-heartedness is an endless aftermath in the future.
"Lord Wang, Xiao Wang knows everything, but our clans don't know anything, and I can't do anything!"
Wang Yue hehe, "Soon you will be able to do anything!"
"Someone!"
Wang Yue gave an order, two new army thousands of households came over, Wang Yue ordered a few words, let them lead the troops, divide into two roads, kill into Yanzhou Mansion, arrest all the children of the clan who made trouble, and not let one go.
Then Wang Yue arranged two more people, all the way to Nishan Academy, all the way to Mao's house!
Seeing that Wang Yue's arrangement was calm, King Lu couldn't help but doubt, "Lord Wang, Nishan Academy can implicate the world's corporals, as well as that Mao Yi, but the well-known Confucian, protΓ©gΓ© disciple, all over the world, our palace can't compare!" In case something happens, I'm afraid that adults won't be able to clean it up! β
Wang Yue just said twice, it seems that this prince really doesn't know who he Wang Yue is!
Well, let him take a good look!
The new army was dispatched, and the thunderbolt was shocked.
They are well-trained, and they have long figured out who is making trouble, and that is called catching one by one.
In less than a day's effort, the chaotic clans in the market were swept away, and all of them were stuffed into the barracks and taken care of.
There will be no politeness at all because of the identity of the clan! The clan that was arrogant just now wilted all of a sudden!
They all tied their hands and began to chatter, but only the king of the pavilion was missing.
According to King Lu's confession, his brother is not peaceful, and it is very likely that he started the chaos this time.
"You Qianhu, you come here!"
There was a guy wearing a melon skin hat and nodding his waist to lead the new army to a green building.
"The king of Guantao is hiding inside, and he also worships his mother inside as a godmother!"
