Qin Feng burned the IOU in front of the school early in the morning.

Zhao Ji was satisfied and stepped out of the Wu Mansion. Wu Jin smiled and saluted in front of the mansion: "Mr. Meng Zhao does not give up, Wu is fortunate to get acquainted." It's just that Mr. said goodbye so early in the morning, did he dislike Wu's poor hospitality? ”

Zhao Ji smiled and said: "Brother Wu is out of sight when he talks like this, you and I have reached the point where we are indistinguishable from each other last night." I really wanted to stay here for a few more days with Brother Wu, but I had to go back to my house immediately because of the prince's important business. Please also forgive Brother Wu. Yes, you and I hit it off at first sight, and we fell in love like this, don't call me Mr. Zhao in the future, I'm a few years older than you, can I call me Brother Zhao? ”

Wu Jin was as good as a stream, and arched his hand: "Brother Zhao, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Brother Zhao will come out to do errands in the future, and when Mu Xiu rests, come to me again, you and my brother, how about fighting and killing together? ”

"Hahaha, good, good!" Zhao Ji smiled: "Thank you Brother Wu, then we will make a decision!" ”

Zhao Ji stepped down the steps and boarded the carriage prepared for him by the Wu Mansion, and when he got into the car, his feet were soft, but fortunately, there was a small servant next to him to help him.

Wu Jin watched Zhao Ji go away, his smile slowly changed, and his smile was covered with a layer of frost.

Zhao Ji sat in the carriage, opened a little curtain of the car window with his fingers, and looked at the Wu Mansion from the gap. The carriage started, Zhao Ji's body shook with him, his hand loosened, and the curtain was lowered. Zhao Ji took advantage of the situation to lie down on the soft seat, let out a long breath, closed his eyes and let the carriage shake to send him on the road.

Last night was shaking like this, tired and happy. Wu Jin was really hospitable and generous, thinking that the maid would accompany him for a night of spring supper. At the end of the dance, Wu Jin also gave him a dancer. Not only that, Wu Jin also proposed that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy together, why not kill side by side?

Zhao Ji naturally couldn't ask for it, anyway, the opponents were all your Wu Jin's people. Hengzhi himself only has a cheap and does not suffer.

For a while, the room was full of spring, and the two enjoyed a night together.

Between men, most of them resonate in the same environment, and then friendship and affection are generated. For example, when you were a child, you must remember the partner who stole chickens and dogs. The partner who peeked at the bath next door with you, you must also remember.

There are also descendants who conclude that the four iron buddies of men have been through the window together, carried guns together, prostituted together, and shared dirty together. If you dig deeper, in fact, each other already has each other's secret privacy, so there is a foundation of trust, and the relationship is naturally good.

Zhao Ji and Wu Jin admired each other's battlefield bravery and collapse. Therefore, both parties think that the other party should have the heart to make friends with them.

The carriage shook to the front of the palace of the king of Chu, and the entourage helped Zhao Ji get off the car considerately. Zhao Ji went to the city gate alone. Checking the license plate and registering, Zhao Ji walked into the city process and looked back at the carriage of Wufu leaving.

The palace of the king of Chu, the outer city is the living quarters of staff, sergeants, and servants. There are also ancillary facilities such as warehouses, stables, etc.

When you enter the outer gate, you have to enter the inner gate. The inner city is divided into several palaces, the palace of the king of Chu, the palace of the prince, and the palace of the king of the county.

The palace of the king of Chu is large, but it often needs to be rebuilt, not just for maintenance and repair. is also because the people in the palace of the king of Chu have been thriving.

The most typical example is the first few generations of Chu kings, there are sleeping palaces, rest halls, discussion halls, reading halls, etc. Now, the king of Chu himself has only one palace left of the king of Chu's bedroom, the Reading Palace. In a few years, the next king of Chu may lose even the Yuewen Palace.

All this stems from the rules set by the founding emperor of Dahua for his children and grandchildren. I only thought of the beginning, but I didn't think of the end.

The son of Emperor Dahua, no matter what his ability is, as long as he is a prince, he will be crowned a prince, and he will be ten thousand stones. It is the level of King Chu.

The eldest son of the prince will be crowned as the prince of the king until he is ten years old, and he will be regarded as a first-class son, and if the eldest grandson is born later, he will be made a king's grandson, and it will also be regarded as a first-class product. If the eldest son is not virtuous enough, he will be succeeded by another son. In short, from generation to generation. So there are as many princes as there are.

In addition to the prince of the prince, the rest of the sons are all crowned kings of the county, and the age is 2,000 stones. The eldest son of the county king is the son of the county king, and the eldest grandson is the grandson of the county king, all of which are regarded as second grades. His succession is the same as that of the Prince. The number is only a little more, too!

And that's not all!

In addition to the prince of the county, the rest of the sons are all the generals of the town country, and they are thousands of stones.

Except for the eldest son, the rest of the sons of the Zhenguo generals were all named auxiliary generals, with 800 stones.

Except for the eldest son, the rest of the auxiliary generals were all named Fengguo generals, with 600 stone years old.

Except for the eldest son, the rest of the sons of General Fengguo were all lieutenants of Zhenguo, with an age of 400 stones.

Except for the eldest son, the rest of the sons of the lieutenant of Zhenguo were all lieutenants of the auxiliary country, and the age was 300 stones.

When the lieutenant dies, the eldest son succeeds, and when the eldest son dies, the eldest grandson succeeds.

Except for the eldest son, the rest of the sons of the auxiliary country were all named lieutenants of the country, and the age was 200 stones. After that, whether it is the eldest son or the rest of the sons, they are all lieutenants of Fengguo, and they will never be surrendered again, and they can all be hereditary.

Moreover, the vassal kings of Dahua and the county kings can't do anything, and they are not even allowed to go far away. In this way, these vassal kings, county kings, can only make babies desperately at home if they have nothing to do, but their postures are different. If you draw a map of the reproduction of descendants, you will find that the population of the clan is terrifying, increasing exponentially!

One tael of silver and two stones of rice, and ten thousand stones are five thousand taels.

A vassal palace, from princes to various generals and lieutenants, is only a year, twenty or thirty thousand taels! Festival rewards, security expenses, expansion and repair of the palace. Taken together, hundreds of thousands and millions can be calculated. 135 Chinese

And the entire Prince of Dahua is close to 100 people, nearly 100 vassal palaces!

For Emperor Dahua, the clan was already a heavy burden, and it will become heavier and heavier in the future.

The founding emperor of Dahua was afraid that his children and grandchildren would be wronged, so he set an iron law! Whoever violates the clan system and expells from the royal family! This is actually against the emperor, if you dare to ignore the clan in violation of the law, you will lose your qualification to be the emperor at the same time.

Therefore, hundreds of officials and ministers played several times to reduce the cost of the vassal king, and the emperor did not dare to let go easily. Afraid of being used by others and threatening yourself to be non-orthodox!

But the emperor didn't dare to give the vassal king a free transfer, and he was secretly trying to reduce it, and if he couldn't directly reduce it, he would reduce the guards. The original vassal king's guards were at least 3,000, and more than 20,000! Today, the Dahua Domain has only 500 guards. As for repairs, they can be exempted, they can be delayed, and there are fewer and fewer rewards for various festivals and happy events. More of a symbolic meaning is huge, and the actual value is lower.

As a result, the life of the vassal king also declined day by day. So they colluded with other evil forces, seized by skill, annexed and merged. After all, the vassal king has a high position, and he has the immunity of ordinary violations, and he does bad things and earns a lot of money.

As long as it is not opposed, the local government and the imperial court can only turn big things into small things, and small things into small things.

Even if there is a little money, the royal city of the king of Chu cannot be expanded arbitrarily. First, the city wall was demolished and rebuilt, which was laborious and laborious. Second, the expansion will destroy the overall pattern, feng shui. Third, there are restrictions on the royal regulations.

Therefore, the palace of the king of Chu can only be rebuilt, that is, the work hall, the rest hall and other functional halls are changed into sleeping palaces. Because he has more and more descendants, if he gives birth to a county king, or gives birth to a general, he must give a room, right?

In a word, the clan of the founding emperor of Dahua stipulated that the people of Dahua worked hard to pay taxes, the emperor worked hard to give money, and the vassal kings also lived hard. It's not easy for anyone.

At that time, the founding emperor thought that the arrangements were properly made, so he closed his eyes with confidence and left for the west.

Hundreds of thousands of sect disciples today are attached to Dahua like moths.

Suppose Dahua is not dead! The population of these clans will one day stand all over the world! Moreover, all have titles, and all of them don't have to work!

With the clan system of the founding emperor, Dahua will not die, which is really intolerable.

Zhao Ji walked to the inner city gate of the Chu Palace, called the door, handed over the card, and waited for the transmission.

Zhao Ji looked left and right, pulled the sleeves of the concierge eunuch, and the two of them turned to the back of the pillar on the side of the door one after the other. Zhao Ji quickly took out a silver ingot and stuffed it over, this was still a parting this morning, and Wu Jin gave it away.

The porter's wrist flipped, the silver ingot fell from his sleeve, and then looked at Zhao Ji with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, did you do a good job for the prince?" ”

"It's fine. Gonggong Xie remembered. By the way, can my father-in-law help me check the registration book of the concierge and see if there is Wu Jin, the head of the Nanchang cloth guild? ”

The porter frowned and groaned, and shook his head: "Don't check, I'll tell you now, no!" “

"What about the steward of the Wu family? The surname is Feng. ”

"Not either."

"Why is my father-in-law so sure?" Zhao Ji was a little worried.

"I've been a porter for more than ten years, and there are only a few people who come to the palace. The cloth in and out of the palace has always been in contact with the Zhao family, the vice president of the cloth industry. Even the cotton in the palace was collected and taken care of by the Zhao family. I know that the Wu family is a cloth family. There is also a new cloth shop owner, surnamed Ye. Although the Wu family and the Ye family have a place in the cloth shop, the entire wealth and heritage are too far behind the Zhao family, so the palace only interacts with the Zhao family. The people of the Wu family have no chance to enter the palace of the king of Chu. So I definitely answered Mr. Zhao, no! “

The concierge of a large family is not something that everyone can do. Its status in the palace is similar to that of a half-housekeeper.

Zhao Ji thanked him, and just as the news came, the King of Chu summoned Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji thought as he walked. Wu Jin, Steward Feng, is lying. What, then, do they want to reach out to themselves? Want to pry into the Zhao family's business? Even if the palace agrees, the Zhao family will not let go of the Wu family, Wu Jin is not so stupid.

Moreover, he is a staff member. Respectfully, you are a Baume & Mercier. If you are disrespectful, you are a doorman. Zhao Ji didn't find any benefits on his body that others wanted.

Zhao Ji was puzzled, and then thought about the pair of maids and dancers, and comforted himself: Anyway, he won't suffer, go to Wu Mansion more, what does he want to do, won't he understand? Even if Wu Jin wants to make use of himself, then use it. If a person doesn't even have the opportunity to be taken advantage of, it can only mean that he is extremely incompetent!

With a little peace of mind, Zhao Ji stepped into the Yuewen Hall of the King of Chu and the reception hall.

Under the throne of Chu, all gathered together, the head of the palace Shi Sun Zhengyi, the prince of the king Li Jian, the chief of the guard Ma Hong, and several staff members quietly listened to Zhao Ji's narration.

This is a sad story, the general flag of the palace guards, the official position is not big, but the face of the palace is carried. If someone says kill in public, he will be killed, and besides, people will plan to sue!

The general banner of the royal palace is actually the Qinglou Guardian Courtyard, as the ancient saying goes, the lowest ridicule of people is to accompany prostitutes and watch betting. Guarding the door for prostitutes is not as good as accompanying prostitutes. Although Long Si is at the level of a big brother, in essence, it is also true that he is described like this.

It was the palace itself that disgraced the royal family.

The face of the king of Chu was pale, the face of Sun Zhengyi was ashamed, and Li Jian, the son of the king, was a little frightened. If Gonggong Wang plays this way, not only will the clan not help the King of Chu, but will also fall into a laughing stock. What will the emperor think of King Chu? How to punish the king of Chu?
