"Goodong" Li picked up the teacup that Zhu Gaoxu drank on the table and drank it in one gulp.

She stood in front of Zhu Gaoxu without changing her face: "That's the way it is. ”

After Zhu Zanyi's death, the princess Zhang did not leave a son, only two side concubines, Geng and Li each had a son.

Geng's son is called Zhu Zuojing, and the original history is the Jingjiang throne he inherited.

Li's son is called Zhu Zuomin, and the original history was only for the general of Fengguo.

Because the relationship between the Geng family and the Zhang family is relatively good, after Zhu Zanyi's death, the two women joined forces to suppress the Li family and frame the Li family for stealing heavy objects from the palace, so as to hit Zhu Zuomin.

Li said so, of course Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to judge whether the matter was true or not, but looking at the behavior of the Li family in Guilin back then, and this time when he went to Beijing with the vassal king to find himself, this woman is not a simple person.

So Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to mess around, because he didn't want to keep her in the palace.

He couldn't help but look up at the cup he had just used, and scolded in his heart, this cup was going to be thrown away.

"I see." Zhu Gaoxu said slowly at this time: "Actually, you don't have to fight around, I want to cut the feudal domain heavily, so be it." ”

"You pick one."

"One is the successor domain, who will have 500 acres of land and 2,000 stone of grain every year."

"If one does not succeed the domain, there will be 3,000 acres of land and no grain."

Ah, the Li family didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to be so ruthless, and the treatment of the vassal king was reduced so much at once.

In the past, the vassal king had 10,000 stone annuals, but now it has dropped directly to 2,000, and there are no more who do not succeed the domain, only Tian.

She suddenly became entangled in her heart, she didn't know which one to choose, thinking about it, it was better to use the first one, to ensure the harvest in drought and flood every year, and to be known as the vassal king.

But a question suddenly came to her mind: "What if Zomin will succeed his son in the future?" ”

She thinks about her grandchildren's generation.

Sure enough, the emperor said: "Zuo Min has the eldest son to succeed the domain, and he still has 500 acres of land and 2,000 stones of grain." ”

"The rest of the sons and daughters, there is nothing, and it is up to Zomin to distribute it to them himself."

"It's just temporary, I'm still thinking that I might continue to use the Song system."

What was the title of what was previously the general of the country, what the county lord and what the thing, all of them will be canceled.

To put it simply, in the future, the wealth of the children and grandchildren of these vassal kings will be redistributed by their own generation, and the court and the emperor will not give a dime or an acre of land.

But how the Song system is, Zhu Gaoxu doesn't know, he is still waiting for Song Lilai to report.

Li was helpless, and finally gritted his teeth and chose the successor.

After the election, she stood in front of the emperor in a daze, in fact, she really wanted the emperor to open her mouth and let her stay.

But the emperor did not hesitate, waved his hand and shouted: "Zhong Xian--"

"The concubine is retiring, thank you Your Majesty." Li glanced at the emperor in disappointment and reluctantly left.

——

After dinner, Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked to see him.

Usually there is no urgency or important matter, and the six books will not enter the palace at night.

But Zhu Gaoxu knew why he entered the palace, and immediately sent someone to take him into the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Song Li really did his homework, what Zhu Gaoxu asked in the morning, he was busy all afternoon, and when he finally entered the palace, he still held a bunch of books and materials to prove it.

The two Song Dynasty in the north and south, since the first year of Jianlong (960) Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin on behalf of Zhou Liguo, to the end of the second year of Xiangxing (1279) Emperor Zhao Yu committed suicide in the sea, a total of 319 years of Guozuo, after 18 generations of emperors.

Among them, there were nine emperors of the first line of Song Taizu and his descendants (emperors other than Taizu and Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty), and nine emperors of the first line of Song Taizong and his descendants (emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty after Taizu to Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty). In addition to the two emperors of Taizu and Taizong, the descendants of Zhao Tingmei, the king of Wei (the younger brother of Taizu and Taizong), were also classified as clans.

Note that only these three descendants of the emperors of the Two Song Dynasty are explicitly classified as clansmen.

The three lines of royal family members multiplied, and over a period of three hundred years, a large number of clan groups were formed, and the Song Dynasty developed a complete set of mature clan knighthood systems that were different from those that preceded and followed, including the current Ming Dynasty.

Song system: the prince and the emperor's brother are the princes; The prince's heirs are crowned county kings, and the remaining sons are respectively crowned princes, county princes, or directly conferred official titles according to the situation; The heir of the prince of the county is a prince of the country, a prince of the country, a prince of the rest of the country, or a marquis, or an official.

But the person who is crowned the prince is not directly crowned the king, here is very different from the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the focus of Zhu Gaoxu's learning.

The Great Song Dynasty clan was knighted, and it was awarded to foreign officials, festival envoys, and government officials; Then he was given the title of county duke, national duke, county king, and even the prince, that is, he was promoted step by step.

The title of the prince is also first named after a small country, and gradually added to a large country, or gradually added after death, until the top title.

The Song Dynasty clan knighthood system was very rigorous, even a little harsh, many princes, royal brothers did not become the top prince until their death, as for their successors, not many can inherit the title according to the system, become the prince of the county, the prince, but awarded the rank of foreign minister, receive a certain amount of money, and the treatment of ordinary courtiers is no different.

In the early years of Taizu, in addition to the emperor Guo Zongxun of the Later Zhou Dynasty, who was named King Zheng, even the emperor's younger brother Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangmei (Tingmei), the prince Zhao Dezhao, and Zhao Defang had not yet had time to be crowned king, which shows the strictness of the Song Dynasty's clan knighthood system.

Among Taizu's sons, Zhao Dezhao's descendants are the worst.

When it was passed to the ninth grandson Zhao Xitong, Zhao Xitong was just a Jiupin county lieutenant, living a hard life, no different from ordinary people.

After Zhao Xilu's death, his son Zhao Heju followed his mother to his uncle and completely became an ordinary person, and his life changed from hard to hard.

If it weren't for the fact that Shi Miyuan, a powerful minister, accidentally found Zhao and Ju in order to become a prince, Chao Dezhao's branch would be finished for the rest of his life and become an ordinary person.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu knew that since the previous dynasties, the clan of the Great Song Dynasty was the worst, and there was no rule that it could be hereditary.

Therefore, there is also a pertinent evaluation of this in the history books: the two Song Dynasty clans were knighted, but they were annoying and useless. That is, it is basically useless.

In contrast, Lao Zhu, the sealed clan, was simply mad, and raised a lot of maggots for the future Ming Dynasty.

Compare the high salaries of officials in the Song Dynasty with the low salaries of Ming officials.

The old Zhu family is mean and unkind, selfish, which can be seen.

Zhu Gaoxu is not bright black, but it certainly will not be a bright powder.

He was also an ordinary person before the crossing, if from the perspective of the people, the exploits of Chengzu's several Northern Expeditions, in his eyes, it would definitely not be as good as Song Renzong's tribute for several years, and he would be peaceful for a hundred years in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the minister made up the clan information of the two Song Dynasty in the afternoon, and there are still some differences between the two Song Dynasty and my Daming."

"Song Butang, sit down and speak slowly, I listen."

Song Li opened the book and picked up important and concise reports to the emperor.

"In addition to the high-ranking princes, county kings, and princes of the Song Dynasty, who can enjoy higher material and official treatment, other middle- and low-level members do not have any preferential treatment and social privileges, but only a clan identity and entry into the clan."

"They can also participate in the imperial examination to become officials, they can also run industry and commerce to make money, they can engage in agriculture and obtain profits."

"In the end of the two Song clans, there is no rule that can be hereditary."

"The titles of the two Song Dynasty clans are also rising in ranks, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin reigned for sixteen years, younger brothers Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangmei, second son Zhao Dezhao (also the eldest son, because Zhao Kuangyin's eldest son died), and the fourth son Zhao Defang, none of them were crowned kings."

The clan of the Song Dynasty was sealed at the first level, and Zhao Kuangyin reigned for 12 years, and did not give Zhao Dezhao the title of king.

At that time, his eldest son died early, and his second son Zhao Dezhao could be the candidate for the crown prince.

But in the Song Dynasty, he didn't even have a king.

Zhu Gaoxu listened to the beauty of the music, and asked: "How did the two Song Dynasty give the clan a knight and a knight?" ”

Song Lidao, whether it is the emperor's younger brother, brother or son, the Song Dynasty clan will first do it for a petty official.

The most common is the 'sanitation officer' (the sanitation officer is not a sanitation department, but in accordance with the old system of the Sui and Tang Forbidden Army, the establishment of sixteen guard generals and generals, specially used to place the high-ranking children of the clan who are not qualified to be crowned kings, and surround and defend them when the emperor goes out on patrol at the court meeting, so it sounds high, but in fact, it is just a false title and a salary).

The clans first made a sanitation officer, and then according to the requirements of seniority, tenure, merit, etc., they could only be promoted step by step under the emperor's special decree after reaching certain qualifications.

Usually the rise to the rank of prince is many years later.

That's why it happened, Lao Zhao reigned for twelve years, and his younger brothers and sons, none of them were crowned.

Many clans survived to death, and they were not crowned kings.

Song Li said: "In the two Song Dynasty system, after the title of prince is awarded, the title of prince awarded by his father and ancestor will not be inherited, and the children of the clan will not even be qualified to serve as a sanitation officer. ”

For example, Taizu's son, after Zhao Dezhao, the original candidate for the crown prince, was taken away from the throne by Taizong, Taizong named him the king of Wei.

But after Zhao Dezhao's death, none of Zhao Dezhao's sons can be hereditary.

Because the Song Dynasty did not stipulate that it could be hereditary.

This is why Zhao Dezhao's ninth grandson, Zhao Xitong, later became the county lieutenant of Jiupin and lived almost like ordinary people.

Zhu Gaoxu listened carefully to Song Li's account, and finally asked: "Speaking of truth from the facts of the Song Dynasty, which is better or worse than the Ming Dynasty clan system and the two Song Dynasty?" ”

Song Li looked up at Zhu Gaoxu for a while, then gritted his teeth: "Of course it's two songs." ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, not angry.

"Coming soon, the Spring Festival will be a holiday. After the end of the next year, when he went to the court, he reported the advantages of the two Song clan systems. ”

"Really?"

Song Li was overjoyed and immediately knelt down: "Minister, I will live up to Your Majesty's trust." ”

"The more detailed you have to say, the better."

"Illustrate the superiority of the two Song Dynasty and prove the failure of the Ming Dynasty."

"I, I'll be very angry then, but Song Butang, you know, in my heart, I support you."

“。。” Song Li, Your Majesty, this is you, do you want me to carry the black cauldron?

But of course he didn't dare to say anything, so he stubbornly said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister knows how to do it." ”

After discussing this matter with Song Li, he thought that he would leave, but Song Li asked for a performance.

Approaching the Chinese New Year, the Ming Dynasty changed the emperor again, and the overseas vassal states sent people to the Ming Dynasty one after another.

"Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate of the Eastern Province, died in May due to illness, and the envoy of the Eastern Province reported to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time congratulated the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty on the New Year." Song Li said: "This afternoon, the envoy has just arrived in Beijing. ”

"Oh" Zhu Gaoxu said meaningfully, Xiaodong was originally there.
