Chapter 602: Building a Domain
Zhu Su, the king of Zhou, was suddenly silent.
He knew in his heart that this incident had angered the Son of Heaven very much.
As a clan order, how could he not know about the filth within these royal families.
Not to mention that the warm boiled frog of the Son of Heaven has been alerted by many vassal kings recently, and they may not dare to do anything to the Son of Heaven in person, but behind the scenes, they have to disgust the court fiercely.
There are many similar rumors in Nanchang Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion and other places, and most of them compare the Son of Heaven to Jianwen.
And what's even more ironic is that today, when the son of the dynasty raised troops in the name of the vassal king, now, when he turned his head, he began to deal with the vassal king again.
Of course, Zhu Su pretended not to hear these things, but now that the Son of Heaven asked, he had to answer, and now seeing that this imperial brother was angry, Zhu Su knew that now, the King of Yan has become the Son of Heaven, and the royal brother who had the same interests as everyone in the past has already begun to think about the problem from the perspective of the Son of Heaven, how can the imperial court tolerate the vassal kings holding heavy troops, and how can they tolerate it, these people are divided into one side, this should come after all, Jianwen is like this, and the same is true of Zhu Di now.
Seeing that he was silent, Zhu Di's face softened, and he smiled bitterly: "We are biological brothers, I still have some words for you." There is nothing wrong with Jianwen cutting the domain, but the mistake is that he is too impatient, not only impatient, but also too disregarded for the feelings of the clan, always shouting and shouting to kill, so that the clan is not allowed to be in the world, so this is the defeat. In the final analysis, the foundation of the ancestors, the descendants should enjoy the blessings, but the court cannot tolerate it. I do have the idea of reducing the vassal kings, and besides, some of the vassal kings are so bold that the law of the country does not tolerate them. Right now, someone is secretly spreading rumors and causing trouble. It's nothing more than an excuse to attack me. I am doing this for the sake of the inheritance of my ancestors, and I am afraid that they will criticize me?"
Zhu Su had no choice but to say in fear: "Your Majesty." β
Zhu Di waved his hand: "The word Shengming, I don't want to mention it, I invited you to Beijing, not to listen to your words." I have invited you to come because I have something to discuss with you. β
Zhu Su said: "Please make it clear." β
Zhu Di stood up. Pacing a few steps slowly, it seemed that what he was going to say next was the idea that had been brewing in his heart for a long time, and he had been silent for a long time. Cai said: "In the clan." When it comes to King Xiang, most of them feel that it is a pity, King Xiang is the most fierce one among our brothers, but he is frank. Among the brothers, he has the most extensive connections, and now his fate is embarrassing to many people. Ay...... This is brotherly love, brotherhood is brotherhood and brotherhood......"
Zhu Di said this. Said slowly: "His death day is coming, I plan to send the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Rites, personally to the Hunan District to mourn, earlier, I have ordered someone to repair his royal tomb, now, it is time for someone to go and see him on my behalf." β
Zhu Su couldn't help sighing again and again, he also felt very sorry for the matter of King Xiang, the first crime of this Jianwen was to force his own uncle to that part, and now Zhu Di sent someone to mourn, and it was so fanfare, this is clearly to remind everyone that Jianwen back then was how to clean up the clan, and then use this to prove that he still cares about family affection.
Of course, this is superficial effort, it is nothing more than a statement, anyway, it doesn't take much effort, and it can also be used to appease the clan, and those gossips, naturally, will be self-defeating.
Zhu Su nodded again and again: "Your Majesty's move is indeed wonderful." β
Zhu Di said slowly: "There is one more thing, but you have to come out, there are some things that should not be told to you...... Ay...... Let's go, let's just say it, tell you the truth, Princess Jingguo, I'm pregnant. β
"......" Zhu Su was speechless for a while.
He never expected that things would be so bad, and after thinking about it carefully, everything was immediately easy to understand, no wonder the palace was in a hurry to get married, and no wonder it was Hao Fenglou who was married, it turned out that there was a scandal in the royal family.
Zhu Su had to smile bitterly and shake his head, and said, "This ...... That Hao Fenglou...... What a daring ......."
He didn't blame Princess Jingguo, thinking about it, this matter must be Hao Fenglou's fault.
Zhu Di couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This matter ...... Ahem...... Now is not the time to pursue it, no matter what, Hao Fenglou is also a hero, serving the court, regardless of life and death, besides, now that the raw rice is cooked into cooked rice, even if Hao Fenglou is slaughtered, what can he do? Since they are happy with each other, then I can only push the boat with the current. β
Zhu Su nodded and sighed, "That's all it can be." β
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Su with a faint gaze, and then slowly said his purpose: "This king of Xiang is now cut off, there is no queen, and there will not even be a sacrificial person behind him in the future, I think about it now, it is really desolate, among the brothers, his situation is the worst, how can I bear it, teach him to be completely extinct, therefore, I have an idea, if this princess of Jingguo is born to a man, then you might as well, Zongren Mansion there, inject a golden book for this child, what if?" β
Show oneβs true colors in the end.
Having said so much, in fact, this is Zhu Di's true intention.
And Zhu Su, who had been carried away by Zhu Di's topic, suddenly realized and understood the mind of the Son of Heaven.
At present, there are many people who accuse the Son of Heaven of being no different from Jianwen, this Son of Heaven is more or less face-saving, so he has to do a lot of superficial work, the Son of Heaven has made up his mind to cut the domain, of course, he can't beat the idea of the living, if he rewards a King Ning today, and gives the King of Zhou more land and guards tomorrow, then isn't it contrary to the original intention of the Son of Heaven to cut the domain? In this case, the best way is to kill the idea of killing people, the brother of Zhu Di and the king of Zhou, naturally became the best target, the Son of Heaven not only sent people to mourn, but also decided to add another King of Xiang, so as to teach the world to see, the Son of Heaven is very concerned about his own brothers, the brothers and sisters of the clan.
But the problem is that there are only two ways to add a person to the lineage of King Xiang, one is to pass on, in the clan, find someone to come out, pass on to King Xiang, let this brother benevolent, celebrate the festival every year, and go to the tomb of King Xiang, etc., but if you think about it, there is another problem, the Son of Heaven is going to suppress the clan, if you find a King Ning or the son of King Zhou to succeed to King Xiang, then this guy not only becomes King Xiang, his father, but also King Ning, a family and two kings, plus the special treatment of the vassal king, and the establishment of guards according to the system, which is almost equivalent to raising tigers.
The Son of Heaven cut the domain, of course, it is not an ordinary domain, like the Hao family, just hiding in Jiaozhi, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, or like King Gui, the county king in Guangxi and other barren places, the court is too lazy to care, the court wants to cut, it is those so-called princes, most of these people build domains in rich places, and they are close branches of the royal family, and have many guards, these people, for the imperial court, are the big trouble, as for other small fish and shrimp, who wants to take care of it.
Therefore, let the children of the clan go to the king of Xiang, the sincerity of the Son of Heaven is there, and the love of the Son of Heaven for his brother has also come out, but it is ...... This is not to reduce the feudal domain, but to strengthen the feudal town.
This road doesn't work, then there are some opportunities for the other way, that is the princess of Jingguo, the princess of Jingguo is the only bloodline of the king of Xiang in the world, and now he has a pregnancy in his belly, and it is very likely that he will be born a boy. The truth is also reasonable, and the most important thing is that the Son of Heaven uses this to express his love for his brothers, so who dares to say that the Son of Heaven is ruthless and unrighteous to his brothers, and who dares to say that the Son of Heaven is not kind to the clan, so it just blocks the mouth of the people of the world.
Thinking of this, Zhu Su, the king of Zhou, just sighed in his heart, this is obviously a certain meaning of rather than friends than domestic slaves, the Son of Heaven would rather have a cheap foreign surname, and would never let the surname Zhu take a share of the benefits, the reason is easy to understand, it is nothing more than the world of the Ming Dynasty right now, but anyone with the surname Zhu has its legitimacy after all, and the surname Hao, after all, is a foreign surname, no matter what, it is impossible to pose a threat to the imperial power, so I would rather give this great benefit to the Hao family, and must not be cheap King Ning, King Wu and the like.
This matter, the Son of Heaven can't do it alone, he must get the support of the Zongling Mansion, and Zhu Su's Zongren Decree has become the most critical object, Zhu Su's temperament is not strong, in fact, there are still some submissive promises, at this time, seeing that the Son of Heaven has made up his mind, where dare to oppose it, besides, ...... Since the Son of Heaven has no intention of cheapening the clan, and on the other hand, it is not necessary to let the princess of Jingguo inherit the domain and title of King Xiang after a hundred years, at least it will not make King Xiang too desolate after a hundred years, so that there is not even a person to sacrifice in his own temple, Zhu Su thought about it, nodded and said: "This is a good thing, Your Majesty has made up your mind, the Zongling Mansion is here, and it is not a problem to come." β
Zhu Di couldn't help laughing, he had long been aware of his brother's temperament, and he had expected that there would be no resistance to this matter, and of course this matter had to be handled by King Zhou, so he said with a smile: "Hey...... I'm really ...... You came all the way, I didn't do the friendship of the landlord, but I said a lot of things to you, teach you to worry, your sister-in-law is in the harem, prepared some water and wine, we are our own brothers, there are no such rules, go, go to meet your sister-in-law, our brothers sit down, as before, drink and talk. β
