Chapter 357: The Sword Unsheathed (Ask for Collection~)
King Lu's cough was like thunder in the quiet council hall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Almost all the princes opened their eyes and looked up at him, including King Ping, with a curious look on their faces.
King Lu's entry into Beijing is different from them, they came to Beijing to participate in the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and to put it bluntly, they were deceived into Beijing by Zhu Xuyu. And King Lu said that he didn't come from illness, and was finally 'caught' back, so his position was extremely embarrassing.
His cough also had an unusual meaning.
Zhu Changshu saw that all the kings looked over, his expression twitched unconsciously, and he still said stubbornly: "I heard that the treasury is empty now. ”
King Ping listened to King Lu's brainless words, he was stunned at first, then reacted immediately, and smiled at King Heng: "The court has always been Yin to eat grain, not bad for us." ”
King Heng smiled reluctantly on the surface, with his foundation, he really didn't care about the 10,000 stone squirrels in the imperial court.
The other princes are also naturally that they still have a large amount of food fields and private property in their hands, and the court doesn't look at it at all.
Seeing that the kings didn't understand what he meant, Zhu Changshu lowered his head slightly, and said, "I mean, why don't we donate a little more food and private property to the imperial court......
When Zhu Changshu said this, he intuitively felt that countless sharp swords were stabbed in his face, making him unable to continue, but the meaning was already obvious, so he didn't continue to say more, just stuck his neck and didn't move there.
When the kings listened to Zhu Changshu's words, their faces were cold, and their eyes were like swords. The part that was handed over last time was reluctantly handed over by them gritting their teeth and vomiting blood with hatred! Now that King Lu said it on such an occasion, they must say something, otherwise the minutes of the meeting will be sent to Wenzhao Pavilion, the celebrant of ceremonies, and how should the emperor and the king of letters look at them? Do you still want to live a stable life in this capital?
Blocking people's money is like killing parents, not to mention robbery with righteous words!
King Ping looked at King Lu and finished speaking, blinked, his expression was quite curious, he didn't know what to say for a while, and couldn't help but look at King Jin and King Lu.
These two people are the first to 'surrender' to Zhu Xu, and they are also the people who helped him control the Governorate.
King Jin and King Lu are both lively-minded people, and they didn't care about it before, but when they saw the eyes of King Ping, they were shocked, and their bodies sat straight.
Who is King Lu, they know it in their hearts, but he is just a little kid who hasn't grown up, how could he say such a thing on such an occasion for no reason, and the most important thing is that they all know that the emperor went to the Ten Kings' Mansion yesterday!
The Ten Kings' Mansion is now inhabited by King Lu's family!
King Jin and King Lu glanced at each other, and suddenly realized in their hearts: This is what the emperor meant!
The emperor was not satisfied with the food fields and private property handed over by the kings, but it was not good to persecute too much before, and through this period of relaxation, he made a comeback!
Both of them glanced at King Ping, and King Lu also coughed first.
His cough startled all the kings who were still frightened and angry, and they all turned their eyes to King Lu.
King Lu cleared his throat and said with a smile: "The whole Ming Dynasty wants to say that whoever has spare money and spare food is us, so I ...... I donated another 5,000 hectares of food fields and 30,000 taels of silver to the imperial court to alleviate the emptiness of the treasury. ”
The faces of the kings were as black as wax, and they were almost set on fire.
King Lu's words, they can still find a way to deal with the past, but King Lu directly shouted '5,000 hectares of food fields, 30,000 taels of silver', how else can they deal with it?
Without waiting for the kings to react, the king of Jin also spoke: "This king still has 8,000 acres of food and land, 10,000 taels of silver, and this time they have all been donated, and there is a court to keep it, and it is useless to keep these......"
"What, all donated?"
Finally, someone couldn't help it and exclaimed.
When he opened his mouth, the other princes couldn't hold back and complained.
"It's all donated, we have hundreds of people in the Huiwang Mansion, and that little money is not enough at all......"
"How long have you been in the domain, we have tens of thousands of people in Jingwangfu, which one of the weddings and funerals doesn't need silver......
"Yes, our Zheng Wangfu is moving our family; When you come to the capital, you have to buy a yard and buy slaves, how can you live after donating them? ”
"No, no, absolutely not......"
In the council hall, more than 30 princes exchanged heads and ears, and complaints came and went.
King Ping was stunned before, and he was even more stunned when he listened to the words of King Jin and King Lu, King Lu, King Jin and the property of their two families had already been confiscated, where did they get so much food and silver?
Looking at King Lu who lowered his head and stopped talking, King Ping suddenly woke up in his heart, and then looked at the noisy kings, smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone, don't worry, don't worry, we are all Ming princes, donate some if you have free, forget if you don't......"
The prince was furious in his heart, and he was uncomfortable, who didn't know that the words of King Jin and King Lu were not their 'casual talk', it was clear that the court was going to 'rob' them again!
Again and again, is it tolerable or unbearable!
The princes blushed, did not speak, their eyes kept staggering, and various thoughts flashed in their hearts at the same time.
King Ping didn't get Zhu Xu's instructions in advance, and he couldn't be sure in his heart, so he hurriedly said a few more words, ended the meeting, and went straight to Jingyang Palace after leaving Wucheng Pavilion, but Zhu Xu was not in the palace.
At the same time, Luo/Yang.
Wei Zhongxian sat in the secret stronghold of Dongchang, flipping through the account books in his hands.
Wei Zhao and the others stood in front of him, all with a cold look on their faces with a smile that could not be hidden.
Fu King Zhu Changxun is extraordinary, he is the third son of Emperor Wanli, and he is favored far more than Guangzong, that is, Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Xu's father and emperor. At the beginning, Zheng Guifei in order to establish the Fu King as the crown prince, the movement that was set off was called a vigorous and vigorous one, which provoked a fierce backlash from the outer court, which is the so-called 'national capital dispute', and finally the outer court was too resolute, and even the entire Ming official eunuch group was involved, and finally forced Wanli to give in, and named Zhu Changxun, the third son of the concubine, as the Fu King, indicating that there was no prince's position, which calmed down the 'national capital dispute' that swept the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Changxun did not become a vassal until the later years of Wanli, and the reward was even more generous than that of Wanli's younger brother Lu at that time, not to mention the 40,000 hectares of food fields, and the salt alone was thousands of dollars, and it was not a year, it was always there, until Zhu Xu changed the salt policy and abolished the salt, which lost this income.
But over the years, the food fields of Fuwang's Mansion and the rapid expansion of private property, coupled with Fuwang's indulgence in wine, in Luo/Yang, no one can take care of it, and the trend is inflammatory, and the endless stream of sending things to Fuwang's Mansion has also accelerated the expansion of Fuwangfu's Mansion.
Therefore, if you rank among the clan vassal kings, King Fu is enough to rank first!
If you really do it to him, it will definitely be an earth-shattering event!
Not only Wei Zhao, Hou Guoxing and others were excited, but also a cadre of Dongchang not far away.
Once they take the Fuwang, they will turn over!
