Chapter 391: Di Xin's maternal grandmother
Di Xin looked at the aristocratic files, the thick inheritance of various nobles made Di Xin feel a pain in his head, and then he stopped reading it, it was really complicated, unless he was a person in his own clan, it was really difficult to explore.
As soon as Bigan came in, he looked at the thick aristocratic inheritance file and had some thoughts in his heart.
Di Xin, who was pressing his temples, saw that Bigan was coming, and he didn't want him to salute, but spoke directly, "Uncle Wang, I want to know how many forces the Chaoge nobles have, and I hope Uncle Wang will tell me."
Bigan immediately understood that the king might be going to attack the nobles.
After thinking about it, he said, "The king, my Yin Shang nobles, are roughly divided into clans and descendants of sages, which are not easy to distinguish between the two because of marriage, succession, etc., and among them, my Yin Shang royal family can be divided into close branch clans and distant clans, and the sages can also be divided into the descendants before Emperor Yu, and the descendants after the closure of Yu Xia, as well as the descendants of meritorious soldiers when Cheng Tang established the country, and so on."
"In Chaoge, there are generally twelve great nobles, and the rest of the nobles are attached to these twelve great nobles, large and small."
"Of these twelve great nobles, six are clans, four are descendants of sages, and two are descendants of meritorious deeds."
"For example, the Huang family where Huang Feihu is located is the family of meritorious descendants among the twelve great nobles."
Bigan generally tells about these twelve great nobles, as well as the nobles who vassal them, large and small, have great power.
"If Gu wants to reform the aristocracy, arrange all these nobles into the House of Elders, and abolish some aristocratic interests, how many nobles can support Gu."
As soon as Di Xin said this, Bigan immediately exclaimed, "No! Absolutely not, then the nobles will be opposed, and the world will be in chaos!"
Di Xin sighed, he also knew that this kind of thing could not be done, but with the appearance of Yin Shang at this time, unless the bottom of the kettle was drawn and a complete change was made, otherwise those nobles would be like maggots, constantly absorbing the national fortune of Yin Shang, and finally ending up with a crash.
This is the so-called immortal dynasty, only immortal aristocracy.
"The reform of the aristocracy is imminent, and I also ask Uncle Wang to tell me how many of these big nobles really support Gu."
Di Xin is not familiar with these big nobles, many of them are not in the court, for them, being an official in the court is far less free than in the people, anyway, their family has a big business, and they are not afraid of the king.
Even many times, the Shang king was fortunate to be able to marry the daughter of these twelve noble families, such as Di Xin's mother, the empress dowager of the woman, is from the "own surname", which is also a very powerful nobleman, belonging to the descendants of the four sages, this nobleman in history, and also produced the wife of the famous Wu Ding.
It's just that because of the early death of the Empress Dowager, Di Xin was cold and thin by nature before, and he had no intention of getting close, and in recent years, he has been lukewarm.
"If the king completely confiscates his land, wealth, slaves, etc., I am afraid that the twelve great nobles will rebel, and if the king slowly tries to do it, there will be at most three great nobles to support him."
As soon as Bigan said, Di Xin thought for a while and said, "But the queen mother's maiden surname, the Huang family where Huang Feihu is located, and the Mei family where Dr. Mei Bomei is located!"
Speaking of which, the surname Mei where the doctor Mei Bo is located is also a descendant of Chengtang, and according to legend, after Taiding, the son of Chengtang, is a descendant of the surname, and he is also one of the clans, and he was later named an earl, and his fief was in Meidi.
It is precisely because Mei Bo is the head of the Mei family that he dared to scare Di Xin several times and not come to the stage, which is where the confidence lies.
"A clan, a sage, a meritorious service, Lone's support rate is a bit low."
Di Xin muttered in his mouth, and Bigan didn't understand what this support rate was at all, thinking that it was another big king's chatter.
"Uncle Wang doesn't support reforming the aristocracy either?"
Being suddenly asked by Di Xin, Bigan was stunned for a moment, but then reacted and said, "The minister supports any decision of the king."
Bigan is a close branch of the clan, and naturally he is not among the twelve nobles who have a long heritage, but Bigan can do it in a sub-phase, and represents the interests of the entire clan with the head of the clan all the year round, and the natural power is not small.
Bigan's unconditional attitude of support made Di Xin very satisfied, and then thought for a while, and said, "Uncle Wang, it's better for us
How about the two of them go to the courtyard of their surname and see the lonely uncles?"
After listening to this, Bigan agreed.
So the two drove to the aristocratic district of Chaoge.
The courtyard with his surname, the symbol of both civil and military on the left and right, and the stone lions of the rich and noble families, are guarding this huge family.
And the most famous of them is still the divine text in the middle, the word "woman", which is said to have been obtained by the woman during the expedition, but the descendants have limited qualifications, and they do not know their meaning, so they are only regarded as an ornament to demonstrate virtue.
Di Xin was dressed in civilian clothes, sat on an ordinary frame, and went straight here, because he didn't explain it before, he could only hand over the roster, and the huge battle suddenly attracted onlookers.
The people speculated about who the nobleman on the car was.
After a while, the door of the courtyard of his surname was wide open, and the head of the family, together with men, women and children, more than 100 people, poured out of the nest.
At this time, the people saw that the people in the car were extraordinary, and when the curtain of the car was opened, the human king Emperor Xin appeared directly on the car.
At this time, many people suddenly realized, and many people knelt down one after another to show respect for the human king.
"The captive Hou Ji Xinjia and his second brother and third brother will meet the king!"
A middle-aged man wearing a Bohou crown knelt down directly, and Di Xin hurriedly got out of the car and helped him up.
"Uncle, please hurry up, I can't afford my uncle's gift, isn't this a slap in the face?!"
As the saying goes, gift-giving does not hit smiling people, Di Xin put on a very low posture, which immediately attracted the favor of many people.
But these old foxes, who can't act.
Suddenly, this Ji Xinjia burst into tears, and two lines of tears flowed down, and said, "The king takes good care of my own family, and his surname goes to the soup and fire, and he will not hesitate."
After hearing this, Di Xin couldn't help but curse in his heart, how could he have taken care of them, and even marginalized them several times.
But there was no anger on his face, and he said continuously, "Uncle, get up quickly, you are ashamed to be alone."
Seeing that the fire was almost over, the captive Hou Ji Xinjia stood up, and then took Di Xin's hand, and kept saying yes, if the Empress Dowager Kui could live until now, how good it would be.
All of a sudden, many people in the whole family were in tears.
"But the Son has come!"
At this time, a woman came out of the house, and her appearance was eight points similar to her mother, and Di Xin was shocked, and then said, "But my grandmother is in front of her!"
Di Xin didn't know his surname, and he never imagined that his maternal grandmother was still alive.
The grandmother in front of me has gray hair and is already an octogenarian woman, but her head is obviously clear and her eyes are clear, and her body and bones are still very strong.
Grandmother took Di Xin's hand, kept looking, and two lines of tears fell directly.
"Poor Kwai Er, I haven't seen such a graceful son, my miserable Kwai Er."
My grandmother wept bitterly, and the people next to her wept.
"Mother, welcome your son in, don't we recognize each other at the door, don't let people see jokes."
At this time, the people at the door gathered more and more, and Ji Xinjia couldn't help frowning after seeing it.
