"Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty decreed:

Taizu first set the world, feudal relatives, and wanted to share peace from generation to generation. The throne has been passed down for nearly 300 years, year after year, the land has been produced, but the descendants of the clan are multiplying day by day.

In the past, the people of a county supported a king, but now the people of a county support thousands of descendants of the clans.

The endowment is limited, the grain is endless, and the people are suffering. If I don't restrict it anymore, decades later, the clan will harm the people's livelihood, and it will definitely cause great disaster.

Today, I personally conquered the southwest and sent the guards to the people to investigate the situation of the Luoyang pro-domain. The king of Luoyang had a large number of farmland, encroached on the people's land, and in the year of disaster, there was little grain, and the people were not able to make a living.

In July of the first year, the law of restricting the clan was implemented.

Since the beginning of Luoyang, the provincial political secretary has been expedient in the number of clans in each province, and the number of clans in each province is fixed, and no matter how many descendants of the clan reproduce in the future, they will only provide for the clan according to the limited average. ”

When the news came out, most of the world was shocked.

The emperor had this tendency, and Wei Zhongxian bore the brunt of it, that is, he set an example in Beijing. He ordered: In the autumn and winter of this year, the prisons, palaces, and bureaus will reduce the amount of money by half, and save the supply of food, rice, clothing and shoes.

Twenty percent of the remaining expenses were put into Wei Zhongxian's own pocket, one was divided among the "eunuchs", and the remaining seventy percent was all included in the emperor's internal funds.

Zhu Youxiao didn't say much, intending to acquiesce.

Anyway, he took the lion's share, and the Wei Party always had to drink soup when he did things for himself.

After the emperor revealed his attitude, a group of people who were good at flattery began to sing praises for Wei Zhongxian, praising his heart of solidarity with the country.

It is worth mentioning that Wei Zhongxian took advantage of the opportunity of the imperial court to implement the "Clan Restriction Law" to deduct the use of various palaces, especially the residence of Concubine Zheng and the residence of Empress Zhang.

The Kunning Palace where Zhang Yan lived, not only did not deduct the degree, but also added a lot of utensils, and recently there have been many criticisms about the emperor's bias in the dark in the palaces.

In this regard, Wei Zhongxian was also decisive and directly ruthless.

For him, the most important point in controlling the government is that anything unfavorable to the emperor must not appear, and the emperor can only "say one and two" if the emperor says one or the other.

Zheng Guifei still can't move, but the female official in Zheng Guifei's palace, Wei Zhongxian, is enough to use her to establish her authority to block Youyou's mouth.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian showed a sly smile like his signature.

In the Forbidden City, outside a lonely palace, the female official Xu was talking and laughing with the people of the capital.

"Your Majesty's preference for the middle palace maidens is even more than the rest of the palace maidens, is it a bit excessive?"

After Xu finished speaking, the people in the Yu Palace didn't think so, these days, this kind of rumors and rumors seemed to be groundless, and everyone was talking about it.

The emperor is not in the palace, and Concubine Liu is more Buddha and reluctant to ask more, so many people subconsciously relax.

"On the day of the emperor's election of the third, in addition to saying a few words to the middle palace mother, but also to say a word to other mothers?"

"It's, what's here?"

"Emperor Shenzong only favors Zheng Guifei Niangniang, and now he favors Zhonggong Niangniang, what's so strange?"

The women were chattering non-stop, but a few Dongchang eunuchs came from a distance, and they didn't say a word when they came here, and they caught Xu and left.

All the people and the palace people were all pale with shock, and they scattered as birds and beasts.

Not long after, Concubine Zheng Guifei, who hurried to the execution site, looked at the scene in front of her, covered her mouth, and her eyebrows were sometimes frowning and sometimes stretching.

Let's see, several prison eunuchs, and more than a dozen flag schools transferred from Dongchang surrounded the female official Xu in her palace, all of them showing ruthlessness.

Zheng Guifei didn't hear Dongchang's words about Xu's sins before, she just saw that a few chestnut trees with vermilion lacquer were being taken to Xu's by a burly Dongchang flag school.

After all, the Xu family is the female official in charge of her palace for many years, Concubine Zheng Guifei didn't know why, and was about to plead for it, but saw that Concubine Liu, who had always ignored the affairs of the inner palace, was quietly standing on the other side.

Concubine Liu's city is quite deep, and Concubine Zheng Guifei also has her own thoughts, seeing that the former didn't speak, the words that came to her mouth were swallowed back by her.

Dongchang Banner School peeled off Xu's skirt and looked at Bai Huahua's body, without the slightest wave in his eyes.

The two prison eunuchs pressed Xu Shi on a wooden bench, and no matter how she struggled and howled, they all lifted the big wood and hit her flesh and blood hard.

Concubine Zheng was far away, but she could still hear and understand the muffled sound and the disappointed and hopeful gaze that Xu Shi cast at her.

The gradual and feeble wail penetrated into Concubine Zheng's cochlea, causing her to tremble all over.

Concubine Zheng didn't want to watch it anymore, she wanted to go back to her palace, but she was afraid that the palace people would pass her on that she was cowardly, so she had to continue to watch.

One end of the big wood was sharpened, wrapped in iron sheets, and the execution flag school went down with a cane, and brought out a lot of skin and flesh.

There were more and more palace people and concubines who came to watch, and when they saw this tragic situation, everyone covered their mouths, and they no longer dared to say what they had questioned the emperor and empress before.

They spent several years in the inner palace, ten years like a day, but they couldn't get a drop of the emperor's eyes.

However, the queen Zhang Yan, since she entered the palace, was like glue with the emperor, and soon became pregnant with a dragon, and she was more angry than people.

Out of jealousy, many people are thinking that it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, and sometimes criticize the last two sentences, but they don't want to, and people with intentions use this as a means to criticize Zhang Yan.

The rumors have become more and more intense, which has affected the authority of the empress in the middle palace, which has attracted the attention of Wei Zhongxian, a staunch royalist.

Concubine Zheng suddenly felt that she was very stupid, and she actually ridiculed the emperor and queen in a weird way.

"Although the emperor has set out on the expedition, but Yu Wei is still there, isn't Wei Zhongxian just a loyal hunting dog......"

After a few breaths of effort, the Xu family has been beaten to the skin and flesh, unconscious, seeing this time, Concubine Liu narrowed her eyes, did not say a word, and said:

"Go back to the palace."

You will not live!

Dongchang Banner School is obviously going to take the Xu family, and as soon as the Xu family still exists, they will continue to fight, and they have no emotion.

After twenty or thirty rods, Xu's lower body was already blurred with flesh and blood, and the bones were exposed, and it was really difficult for Zheng Guifei to continue to watch, and she was about to follow in the footsteps of Concubine Liu.

As soon as she turned around, Wang Tiqian appeared behind her without knowing when, stopped her with one hand, and said with a smile:

"Guifei Niangniang think twice, although this is ordered by Gonggong Wei, His Majesty is in Luoyang, but he also knows."

The implication is that the cane to kill the Xu family is still the emperor's remote will.

Concubine Zheng was speechless and looked over painfully.

At this time, Xu Shi woke up, fought his last breath, and roared a few words, but the prison eunuch spat out, and said in a weird manner:

"Who dares to be lazy and make her say so much?"

Hearing this, the executed Dongchang Banner School was shocked, brewed for a while, and the strength increased by a few points, and without five rods, the Xu family was silent.

"It's over, it's dead!" Concubine Zheng Guifei had red eyes, I don't know whether she regretted or hated, and said to Wang Ti:

"May I go?"

Wang Tiqian smiled slightly, leaned sideways, and did not reply.

A few days later, Wei Zhongxian understood his intentions, and the news of the death of the Xu family in the inner court reached Luoyang, Zhu Youxiao sneered and laughed at himself:

"I'm so ruthless..."
