"What?" Wen Tiren was stunned for a moment, feeling a little incredible.

It is understandable that some people sue the imperial court, after all, the life of the people of the Ming Dynasty is not easy now, they are blackmailed by officials, oppressed by the gentry, and there are no way to ask for help, but this is the emperor's patrol, and it is not a patrol according to the imperial history to inspect the place, how dare ordinary people alarm the holy driver? With nearly 20,000 guards here, how could ordinary people get close to the army and dare to get close to it?

For such a big thing as the southern tour to worship the ancestors, how could Zhang Shize bring people over because someone wanted to sue the emperor? However, as the head of the march, when such a thing happened, Wen Tiren had to ask, and he couldn't really disturb the holy driver.

So he hurriedly got on a small boat and rowed to the shore, and as soon as he landed on the shore, he saw Zhang Shize riding a horse and leading people over.

"Marquis Zhang, what's going on?" Wen Tiren asked in a deep voice.

"Someone stopped the procession to complain, so I brought someone over." Zhang Shize said with a smile.

"Master Hou, you are confused!" Wen Tiren couldn't help but say, "The people have grievances and can let them go to the government to complain, how dare they disturb Your Majesty because of this little thing?" Who can afford to delay the ancestor worship? ”

Zhang Shize pursed his lips secretly, but said with a smile on his face: "Old Wen Ge is angry, I don't want to, but the identity of the person who sued is not ordinary." ”

"What's out of the ordinary?" Wen Tiren shook his head slightly, if his identity is really not ordinary, and there are ways to go to the court, how can he do such a thing as stopping the court?

"Because the complainant is a clan, a descendant of Taizu, and a blood relative of His Majesty, do you say that the identity is generally not ordinary? I can't stop His Majesty's blood relatives from seeing His Majesty, right? Zhang Shize said with a smile.

"......" Wen Tiren opened his mouth and closed it again.

The secret bullshit is not ordinary, today, the number of people in the clan is at least hundreds of thousands, and the number is more than that of dogs, what's so unusual? However, the clan is a clan after all, and no matter how ordinary the clan is, it is also a descendant of Taizu, and as a courtier, he cannot praise or disparage it in public.

And Wen Tiren suddenly remembered an incident not long before leaving Beijing, a clan was robbed in public on the streets of Beijing and was taken down by Jinyiwei, I heard that it was a Fengguo general of the German Domain, and he was later sent to the palace to see the emperor, and then it was gone, and there was no follow-up development. Think about it again, someone stopped the car and sued the royal court, and now it is in Texas......

Wen Tiren felt as if he understood a little, but the matter involved the royal family and the clan, no matter how clear he was, he couldn't say it.

"Master Hou will take someone to see Your Majesty, I hope it will not affect the itinerary." Glancing at the two tattered guys behind Zhang Shize, Wen Tiren sighed and said to Zhang Shize.

"Isn't Wen Ge old together? Maybe Your Majesty won't leave after seeing someone. Zhang Shize said with a smile.

"That..."Wen Tiren just wanted to say how could that be possible, but after thinking about it, it is very likely that judging from Zhang Shize's sneaky behavior, something will most likely happen today.

"Then I'll go and see it too." Wen Tiren changed his words.

The boat rowed, Wen Tiren and Zhang Shize and the two suing clans got on the same boat and rowed towards the emperor's dragon boat.

On the boat, Wen Tiren watched carefully, the two clans were dressed in tatters, their faces were dark and wrinkled, their expressions were wooden, and they looked no different from ordinary peasants.

"Are these two really clansmen?" Wen Tiren couldn't help but ask Zhang Shize in a whisper.

"Of course, they all have jade plates that represent the identity of the clan, they can't fake it, hey, two Fengguo generals, can you show your jade plates to Wen Xiangye?" Zhang Shize suddenly said loudly to the two sects.

The two clans glanced at each other, and they both reached out and took out a sign from their arms, and handed it to Wen Tiren, "This lord, we are the descendants of the Taizu clan. ”

"Offended." Wen Tiren stretched out his hand and took the two jade plates, carefully identifying them, as the head of the march, this is also his duty, and he can't let the two fake clans get close to the emperor.

After identifying it, the jade disc was right, and Wen Tiren returned the two jade discs to the two. Judging from the short contact, these two clans are honest people, although they are dressed in tatters, their skin is very delicate, and they are also very similar to ordinary clans who never work to "pamper themselves".

The small boat soon approached the dragon boat in the middle of the canal, saying that it was a dragon boat, but in fact it was a larger flat-bottomed official boat, which could only carry more than 200 people.

Zhu Youzhen had naturally gotten the news, and was sitting in the flower hall, waiting for someone to come over. In fact, if it weren't for his approval, how could Zhang Shize bring someone over.

"Fengguo Lieutenants Zhu Changgou and Zhu Youlan pay a visit to Your Majesty." Entering the flower hall, the two clans hurriedly knelt down and saluted Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen nodded: "The two clansmen, the clansmen, let's be flat." "If they are all from the word generation, it doesn't matter if they call themselves the clan brothers, but there are often people with characters, so Zhu Youzhen can't shout Uncle Uncle.

It's all fucking relatives more than a hundred years ago.,It's already out of five suits.,What kind of relatives are they! Taizu is also an old man, and he always wants to make proper arrangements for all the descendants of future generations, but he doesn't care what the emperor behind thinks!

"Two clan relatives, I don't know why I'm in a hurry to see me?" Zhu Youzhen asked with a smile. No matter what, the play still has to be played.

With a "poof", the two clans knelt down again: "Please Your Majesty to avenge our grievances!" ”

"Speak slowly, I want to see who dares to bully my clansmen!" Zhu Youzhen's face became serious.

"Your Majesty, it's King De, we want to sue King De, there are more than 100 ordinary clans here, and a total of six major sins are sued by King De!"

As he spoke, Zhu Youlan took out a piece of cloth from his arms, which was densely covered with bloody handprints

Wen Tiren was still standing aside and listening expressionlessly at first, but when he saw this scene, his face finally showed a look of horror.

Hundreds of clans jointly sued a prince, and it seems that Zhang Shize said that he really wants to stay in Texas this time!

"King Zhu Youshu was unkind, regardless of the affection of the clan, and maliciously withheld Lumi for three years, amounting to as many as one million stones, so that many clans were hungry and cold, and dozens of clan members died of starvation and freezing." Zhu Youlan cried.

When he heard the first charge, Wen Tiren listened calmly, after all, the matter of the vassal king's detaining Lumi was too common.

"King Zhu Youshu was greedy and shameless, and forcibly annexed fields as a guard of honor, occupying as many as one million acres of land in Dezhou, Jinan, Qingzhou and other places, and hundreds of clans' fields were also occupied by him." Zhu Youlan continued to charge King De with the second charge.

Wen Tiren is still calm, and it is normal for the vassal king to malceively annex the land, and compared with the King of Fu and the King of Shu, King De is quite good.

"King Zhu Youshu was greedy for money, set up a private money gate on the canal, and forcibly collected taxes from merchant ships, seriously interfering with the imperial court tax system." Zhu Youlan continued.

Wen Tiren shook his head, still indifferent, it is not uncommon for the vassal king to set up too many banknote customs privately, and with the establishment of the tax department, the banknote customs set up by the king of Germany have long been banned. Besides, what does King De do with the other clans when he sets up a banknote? But it's understandable to think about it, after all, if you file a complaint, it will naturally be bigger, and some of you don't have to be involved.

"King Zhu Youshu is extremely brutal, often brutalizing people's lives, for more than ten years, he has killed at least 100 slaves and innocent people in the Dewang Mansion!"

Zhu Youlan continued to complain. Wen Tiren's face changed slightly, the matter involved hundreds of lives, and King De did a bit too much. However, among the many vassal kings, there are also a lot of people with lives in their hands, and I heard that the King of Qin in Guanzhong is more brutal than King De.

"King De is lustful and shameless, regardless of family love, forcibly robbed the clan wife's room, forced people to die, and forced the clan wife to be separated." Zhu Youlan gritted his teeth and said.

"Woo, Your Majesty, Zhu Youshu robbed the minister's wife, but in terms of seniority, it was his aunt who was robbed by the servants of King De's Mansion on the way back to her mother's house." Zhu Changgou on the side couldn't cry.

Wen Tiren's face was no longer calm, he robbed the wife of his clan, and it was his own aunt, which was against human morality, what King De did was really excessive!

"King Zhu Youshu had ill intentions, colluded with the local government, colluded with the Yansheng Mansion, and secretly transferred hundreds of thousands of acres of land to the Yansheng Mansion in order to evade the imperial court's inspection of the vassal king's fields, openly disobeyed the holy order, and committed a heinous crime!" Zhu Youlan finally said.

Wen Tiren's face changed greatly, and the previous few crimes were just that, they belonged to personal morality, and most vassal kings had committed them. And if the last item is verified, it will be enough to cut the domain! For the imperial court, the most taboo was the collusion between the vassal king and the local government. And it was just that King De colluded with the local government, and he was so bold that he transferred the land to the Yansheng Mansion, openly disobeying the Qingtian order against the vassal clan three years ago.

The restructuring of the clan was a measure taken by Zhu Youzhen not long after he ascended the throne, and he had high hopes for this, hoping that the disadvantages brought by the clan to the Ming Dynasty after the restructuring would be greatly improved, and he hoped that the land would be cleared and the local tax revenue would be raised. King De dared to hide hundreds of thousands of acres of land under the name of Yansheng Gong, which was a blatant rebellion against the emperor's vassal reform! This is touching the emperor's scales!

Wen Tiren knows the emperor's character, so he is not a person who cares about family affection. Even his own uncle, Fuwang Zhu Changxun, was taken to Fengyang to be imprisoned, and the Fu Fan was directly removed from the domain on the charge of rebellion. King Zhu Youshu, a vassal king whose blood relationship is already very weak, how can he be cared for by the emperor?

I'm afraid it's not far off for the German domain to get rid of the domain.

And the Holy Father of Nayan, who was so bold that he actually accepted Wang Tian, he didn't even know who he was! Do you think that with the tablet of Sage Kong, you can protect him?

Wen Tiren felt a little incredible.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Wen Tiren had fear in his heart, since King De chose to do this, he must have done it very secretly.

There are many things, how do ordinary clans like Zhu Youlan know about them? Zhu Youlan is just an ordinary Fengguo general, with the lowest rank in the clan, and it is usually estimated that he can't even see the face of King De, how can he know so many secret things?

Wen Tiren didn't dare to think about it anymore.
