Recently, Daming Daily suddenly published an article that seemed to be very rebellious, and the title of the article was very straightforward, that is, "Strange Talk in the World: Military Salaries, Money and Grain Are Inferior to the Rations of the Heavenly Nobles". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The content of the article is very sharp, and it bluntly points out the drag that the current vassal king has brought to the Ming Dynasty, and even took that some vassal kings gave birth to hundreds of heirs, so that when the family gathering, there was a situation where they did not know their sons or brothers, and they were like strangers.

In addition, the article also made statistics on the vassal kings above the general of Fengguo during the period from Hongwu to Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty, and found that by the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the number of vassal kings in various places had increased to thousands of times, and the occupation of land and Lu rice had far exceeded the land occupation of the common people, and the expenditure of military salaries in the treasury.

No one understands that such a politically charged article, and an article that dares to bombard the royal family of the world, would be published in Daming Daily!

Moreover, it's still a front-page headline!

Readers of Daming Daily have to admire the greatness of Daming Daily, whether it is the religious struggle in Europa, the tribal struggle outside the Seychelles, or the confidential news and bold and realistic brave disclosures within the imperial court, all of which prove the great power of Daming Daily.

And no matter why Daming Daily is so powerful and bold, daring to pick out the issue of the vassal king that everyone wants to say but dare not say, and also uses data and logic to explain the facts so clearly and clearly, but this content has made the entire Daming begin to boil.

Whether it is on the teahouse or at the stone steps under the locust tree, whenever someone mentions the latest news, they must mention the question of the vassal king raised by the Daming Daily.

Many people in Beizhili, Qinjin and other places have become accustomed to going to work in the factories in the city early in the morning, then getting off work, and only going out of the city and returning to the countryside to rest after sunset.

However, during this period, they would rest at the Xiema Pavilion outside the castle, or spend a few small sums to listen to the storyteller, or just stand in the pavilion and read the newspaper posted on the newspaper column by the Shuntianfu Yamen.

These are all newspapers and periodicals from all over the world in the last month, and generally standing here for half an hour can clearly understand the Ming Dynasty in the recent month.

"Yo, our Dahuangzhuang is also engaged in a contracting responsibility system in Jiangnan!" After a few years of private school, I knew some words, and I could barely read the newspaper.

"Hey, it turns out that these princes are so generous, they have eaten so much of our hard-earned money, so in this way, the real hateful thing about my Ming Dynasty is not the corrupt officials, but these princes and grandsons."

When the chief here saw the latest issue of Daming Daily, he couldn't help but let out such an exclamation.

And an old man who was also reading the newspaper and spoke with a He0 South accent replied: "Isn't it, in my hometown Kai 0 Feng, almost all the good fields and good land in Kai 0 Feng Mansion are Fu Wang's, one year there was a big flood, Kaifeng City was flooded, and the people in the whole city wanted to escape from the city, and the Fu Wang family hired 30,000 people just to transport away the food in the house!" ”

……

Also in the capital of Nanzhili Nan0, people also forgot about the demonstrations and the repression of the imperial court, and began to comment on the recent newspaper about the vassal kings.

The advent of the Daming Daily promoted the improvement of printing techniques by the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the improvement of printing techniques led to the emergence of more newspapers.

With the increase of newspapers, the exchange of information in the Ming Dynasty began to become faster and easier, and at the same time, current affairs and politics began to enter the homes of ordinary people, so that now, it is not only scholars and doctors who talk about the affairs of the country and the world, but also peddlers and pawns will express their thoughts through newspapers and periodicals.

However, many times, politics is still a sensitive topic, especially in the Ming Dynasty, where imperial power still occupies an absolute position.

Therefore, Daming Daily, which is the nature of the central newspaper, has become a political weather vane, and everything that Daming Daily reports is the most correct political wind direction.

All, after the Daming Daily put forward the matter of the vassal king, the major newspapers were not far behind, and began to further expose and criticize the views and phenomena of the vassal king as a parasite and dragging down the Ming Dynasty.

For example, Shudi's "Tianfu Daily" proposed, "With the power of the whole country to raise hundreds of thousands of incompetent people, the world is the world of the Zhu family or the world is the private property of the Zhu family!" Radical views.

The best-selling Jingchu Weekly in Huguang directly threw out the view that "if the vassal king is rich, the world is poor, and if the vassal king is poor, the world is rich".

When the public opinion of the vassal kings became more and more hot, the vassal kings in various places had no way to parry these verbal and written criticisms, and they were now in a hurry to decide whether to leave the fiefdom and go to Nan0 Beijing or to abide by the ancestral system and refuse to obey the orders on the grounds of calling themselves sick.

However, some feudal kings who traveled a long way or did not care about it refused to come to Nanjing to worship the filial piety mausoleum on the grounds that the ancestral system stipulated that the feudal kings were not allowed to leave the fiefdom, and secretly laughed at the feudal kings who rushed into Nanjing City to die.

Some vassal kings who were closer to the road or had forgotten their ancestral system and took the holy decree of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao seriously immediately rushed to the south 0 capital.

It is not easy for these princes and county kings who are accustomed to being well-mannered to go out of the fiefdom, and the weather is now very hot, so it is very difficult for many vassal kings to catch up this way.

For example, King Gui of Guangxi and King Shu of Sichuan who decided to come had to climb dozens of miles of mountain roads overnight, and they slept for less than three hours every day.

Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, who also chose to come to Nan0 Beijing, wiped the sweat on his forehead and took a sip, then continued to run wildly, and ran straight out like thunder, before he stopped and scolded: "Is this what a person can do, rush to Jinling City within a few days, this is simply a lonely life, what is Your Majesty doing this!" ”

"Your Majesty said cautiously, if it is known by the people of Dongchang, it will not be good to add oil and vinegar in front of Your Majesty", Shi Ming Changxin, the right chief, has always been an honest and cautious person, so he hurriedly persuaded a few words, but unexpectedly was slapped by the King of Chu: "It's not your turn to remind Lone, Lone said so, what's the matter, it's difficult for him Zhu Youxiao to dare to kill Lone, Lone is also his emperor's great-ancestor!" ”

Although Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, is the sixth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, King Chu Zhao, and the relationship with Zhu Youxiao has been very estranged, he is indeed several generations higher than Zhu Youxiao in terms of generation.

And Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, couldn't help but feel a little proud because of this, and his originally anxious heart also settled down a little, so he asked Zuo Changshi Luo Xingneng: "Where is the boundary in front, and how far is it from Jinling City." ”

"Back to the prince, I will go to the boundary of Jiujiang in front, and I will change to take a boat to Nanjing, and I will be able to reach Nanjing in a few days", after Lu Xingneng said, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, ordered: "In this case, go to Jiujiang City to rest for a day, this way has been running for a long time, and it is really tiring." ”

In this way, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, and his party entered Jiujiang City, but as soon as Zhu Huakui entered the gate of Jiujiang City, a person wearing a Taoist robe suddenly stopped him: "The person who came is His Royal Highness the King of Chu?" ”
