"Fifth and beheaded?" Hearing Lotte say this, Huizong Zhao Ji shook his head and said: "There were five generations in the previous dynasty and beheaded, which really shows that the royal family is too unkind, and this is not enough to take!" ”

"Your Majesty is merciful!" Hearing Zhao Ji say this, Lotte said busily.

The fifth generation and beheading refers to the fact that the royal branch of the Tang Dynasty will no longer receive the imperial court after the fifth generation, which reduces the financial pressure of the country; The Song Dynasty did not adopt the policy of cutting the five generations, but adopted the policy of cutting the lords according to the generations, and cut the first-class titles for each generation of reproduction, but in this way, after nine generations, the Song Dynasty also had to spend a lot of support for the clan, so at this point the Song Dynasty had the financial pressure that the Tang Dynasty did not have.

The fact is not only the Song Dynasty, but also the Ming Dynasty in later generations was also dragged down by the clansmen, and the country had to raise a large number of these parasitic royal families, so that it had to spend a provincial tax every year to feed the descendants of these royal families, and dragged the Ming Dynasty down.

And in terms of blood relationship, after the fifth generation, it can only be regarded as the family, and there is no family affection.

Immediately, Huizong Zhao Ji sighed again: "Li He, who was known as 'Little Li Du' in the previous dynasty, was also the queen of King Zheng of Li Tang, if it wasn't for the fifth generation and the family fell, how could he have died at the age of twenty-seven, so that I have one less talent in China!" ”

"Your Majesty cherishes talents, and you are really benevolent!" Lotte patted the horse and said, I used to be a small official, and I still have this eyesight.

Then Lotte said: "Your Majesty, I have been in the Great Song Dynasty for one hundred and sixty years, and at the beginning of the Dynasty, there were only dozens of nobles in the Heavenly Family, and now there are thousands of people who are not far away, and my Great Song Dynasty is more than ten thousand years old, but how will I support these royal families who do not work hard!" ”

"This ......" was asked by Lotte, Zhao Ji suddenly fell silent, it is the norm for the royal family to be divided for three hundred years, and Zhao Ji never thought that the Zhao family would always be the co-owner of the Chinese country, but what Lotte said had to be taken seriously.

Zhao Ji has reason to believe that if the Zhao royal family breaks through more than 10,000 in less than 20 years, it is unstoppable, even if he does not think about himself, for the sake of future generations, to support so many royal families, it is definitely a heavy burden for the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty does not want foreign attacks and will be dragged down by these royal families who sit and wait for death.

After the collapse of the previous dynasties, the situation of the imperial family was the most miserable, how could Zhao Jixin, who had studied the past and the present, not understand how many emperors could treat the Chai royal family like Emperor Taizu.

At this moment, Zhao Kai on the side is also in deep thought, his father Zhao Ji loves him, Zhao Kai knows that in the eyes of his father, his status has already surpassed that of his brother and crown prince Zhao Huan, and it is only a matter of time before he is replaced, but his succession will also face the same problems as his father.

Not to mention supporting these royal families, these royal families still have to embarrass the royal face, which is the most embarrassing thing to be an emperor, but the emperors of this dynasty have not said anything about the fifth generation.

"Your Majesty, the situation is not optimistic......" Seeing that Zhao Ji was silent, Lotte added a fire to the side: "Your Majesty has spent the taxes of the imperial court to support these clans, but these people will not feel Your Majesty's kindness, today there is this Zhao Bo to add chaos to Your Majesty, and tomorrow there will be other descendants of the Heavenly Family to give Your Majesty an ugly look, where is the majesty of the Heavenly Family in the long run?" ”

After Lotte's voice fell, Zhao Kai reprimanded: "Lotte, don't be alarmist, although I have many heirs of the royal family, how can my father do such a gracious thing as the fifth generation and behead it, and trap my father in injustice!" ”

"Although the minister knows that the minister's words are against the law, what the minister says is everywhere for the sake of my Great Song Dynasty Jiangshan Society!" Lotte ignored Zhao Kai's reprimand, spoke, and then persuaded Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty should be decided, and if you continue, you will suffer from it!" ”

"Shut up!" Zhao Kai said angrily.

In Zhao Kai's view, what Lotte does is for himself, but he must show that he is a good son and filial grandson who treats his clan as a sibling, so that he can be more favored by his father, and he can be more qualified to compete for the throne with the eldest brother of the prince, and he can get the support of hundreds of officials.

Zhao Ji waved his hand and said to Zhao Kai: "Third brother, let Leqing continue!" ”

At this time, Lotte can only learn and sell: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that the old system of the fifth dynasty should be reinstated in the Song Dynasty, not only the minister, but the Manchu Dynasty and local officials, I am afraid that I have already had this intention, but no one dares to speak to Your Majesty, the minister still remembers that the records of this dynasty record that the officials of Guizhou refused to give Lu Mi during the Zhezong Dynasty, and then made trouble in front of Zhezong and could not be separated!" ”

"In the old system of the fifth dynasty before the line, there will be a large number of emperors whose lives will fall into an embarrassing place, won't I be infamy!" Listening to Lotte's words, Zhao Ji's tone was already loose.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the famous ministers of the Renzong Dynasty who participated in the political affairs of Fan Zhongyan and Xigong?" Lotte asked.

The deputy minister is equivalent to Wang Hao's previous position, but the repeated changes in the titles of officials in the Song Dynasty make people a little confused, the official is still that official, the position is still that position, the star is still the star, and the moon is still the moon.

"The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world!" The words fell, and Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing: "Why don't I remember Fan Xiang, Fan Xiang has four sons who are all ministers of my Great Song Dynasty, and the second son Chunren is a virtuous minister of our dynasty, and several grandchildren are now also working for our dynasty, which can be called a good minister's family." ”

Then Lotte continued: "The minister once heard that in the second year of the Renzong Dynasty, Xigong bought more than ten hectares of land in Changzhou and Wu County in Suzhou, and used the annual rented rice to provide food, clothing, marriage and funeral purposes for the people of each house, and it was called 'Yizhuang'. Xi Gongqin set thirteen rules, stipulating that men and women under the age of five in each room should be given one liter of rice per person per day; Winter coats are one horse per person, and the age of five to ten is halved. When the clan marries and buries, the cash will be paid in equal parts. ”

Hearing Lotte's play, Huizong Zhao Ji's eyes couldn't help but light up, and a smile gradually filled his face: "Leqing, you go on, go on......"

When Zhao Kai heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he quietly waited for Lotte to continue.

Lotte continued: "The minister also heard that Xigong had continued to formulate rules later, and stipulated that the management of Yizhuang's property has a relative independence, and it: the elder shall not interfere with the person in charge of Yizhuang to act according to the rules; The clansmen are not allowed to borrow manpower, vehicles, boats and utensils from Yizhuang, they are not allowed to rent Yitian, they are not allowed to rent and pawn the houses of Yizhuang without permission, and they are not allowed to occupy the Yicang of the Yizhuang. Yizhuang is not allowed to pawn the land of his own people. ”

Hearing Lotte say this, Zhao Ji said: "Xigong is really a great sage, no wonder the children of the family can become talents and become officials for generations, and the truth is enough for people to emulate!" ”

Lotte continued: "The minister also heard that Wu Kui, Liu Hui, Li Shi, Han Zhen, He Zhi and other adults of this dynasty also followed the example of Xigong and gave Yizhuang, and the use of Yizhuang's land is not only to support the people of the tribe, but also to expand to the cultivation of scholars and relief to the local poor people......"

Looking at Lotte, Zhao Ji nodded and said: "I understand, Le Qing said that I want to follow Fan Xiang, behead the royal family for the fifth generation, and give those distant royal families Zongtian for them to live?" ”

"The minister has this intention!" Lotte said.

Lotte said a lot, Zhao Kai still didn't say anything, knowing that he must not come out in this matter, if he succeeded, he would not have to carry the big burden of the clan like his father after he ascended the throne in the future; If he doesn't succeed, he will inevitably be regarded as a common enemy by his clan relatives, and it will even affect his future succession.

"What Le Qing said is very reasonable, and it is not unreasonable for me to follow Fan Xiang's example to set up the royal family's official field, and this move can also reduce the burden on the royal family." After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Ji said, and then said: "It's just that this move is a huge expense, and the pressure I have to face is really not small, and I can't do it for a while." ”

Lotte and Zhao Jixin both understood that if this edict came out, it would immediately be opposed by all members of the royal family, and the pressure that Zhao Ji would face was not ordinary.

"The Heavenly Family Clan will not agree, but the people of the world and the hundreds of military officials of the court will definitely support Your Majesty." Lotte said, and then guided: "The Heavenly Family Sect is less than 10,000 people, but there are 10,000 people in the world. ”

Zhao Jixin hesitated, what Lotte was discussing was very big, and it could not be broken in a day or two.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was still undecided, Lotte then added fire: "If this proposal is successful, Your Majesty's actions will be enough to go down in history and last forever!" ”

After pondering for a while, Huizong Zhao Ji said: "This matter is very involved, and I have to discuss with hundreds of officials before I can decide!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ji said that he wanted to put forward the agenda, and Lotte didn't say much, but said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, this matter should not be rushed, summon a hundred officials in total!" ”

Immediately, Lotte looked at the case file of the imperial case and asked: "Your Majesty, how to deal with the case submitted by the minister, please also ask Your Majesty to show me!" ”

Huizong thought for a while and said: "The person involved in the case is temporarily imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion, and this case will be handed over to the Zongzheng Temple sect for disposal, so Le Qing will not ask!" ”

Seeing that the matter was finished, Lotte hurriedly bowed and said: "The minister has nothing to discuss, and the minister has retired!" ”

I have to say that Lotte gave him an excellent solution to the clan, and his heart was also very happy, and said: "Le Qing has not been in the palace for a long time, lunch time is approaching, why don't you go back on business with my third brother after having lunch with me!" ”

Hearing this, Lotte hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, it's an honor!" ”

When it's time for lunch, there is a free lunch, so it's natural to eat.

Of course, Lotte can't say no either.

Although the wine and food in the palace are luxurious, the atmosphere is somewhat restrained, but fortunately, there are singing and dancing companions during the banquet, so the restraint is removed.

During the banquet, Wang Hao was also present, but the level of the seat was the same as Lotte, which made Wang Hao unhappy, the same treatment as the ruler of a country and the three products was obviously unusual, and the Son of Heaven and Lotte talked during the banquet, which was even more like a homely thing.

After the banquet, Lotte thanked him and left the palace.

"Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have." Looking at the figure of Lotte out of the palace, Zhao Ji said, then looked at Zhao Kai, and said with a smile: "I only found out today that the third brother has the talent of Bole......"

"The child is ashamed......" Zhao Kai said busily when he heard this, but his heart became more and more proud.
