Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Separation of Families,
Not excessive?
It is simply excessive, supporting the emperor's changes, not only to hand over the land wealth of the Xu family, but also to offend many people to death, which will do all kinds of harm to the Xu family.
The Xu family of the Duke of Wei is not only an old nobleman, but also the leader of the Jiangnan gentry and wealthy families, if they fall to the emperor's side, the consequences will be extremely serious.
Xu Li was silent in an instant, exchanging the future of the Xu family for a way for his grandson to live, this choice was too difficult.
Choose to be obedient, the future of the Xu family is unpredictable; But if they don't obey, the Xu family doesn't even have a future.
He is too able to live, from the Tianshun period, to the present, he has boiled his son to death, his grandson Xu Pengju is the only hope of the Xu family, if Xu Pengju dies, the Xu family will be cut off!
"Your Majesty is a good method, but if such a means are so radical, aren't you afraid of being counterattacked?"
Xu Li's words were full of resentment, no matter what the Xu family said, they were the descendants of Xu Da, the first founding father of the country, how could they be so persecuted.
"Your Majesty, it's not Wei Guogong's turn to judge."
"Wei Guogong still think about it, how to choose, Xu Pengju's life is in your hands."
Gao Feng's surging road.
"The old man knows what to do, but I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise ......"
There was a sharp light in his cloudy eyes, although he stepped into the coffin with half a foot, he was not dead, and he could continue to turn over the clouds and rain.
If Gao Feng goes back on his word, he has the means to let Gao Feng understand the power of the Xu family of Wei Guogong, and in the south of the Yangtze River, his Xu family still has some background.
"As long as Wei Guogong does what he should do, our family can guarantee you that Xu Pengju will not only be able to live safe and sound, but also inherit the position of Wei Guogong smoothly after you are a hundred years old."
From the news from the capital, he had already judged that the Xungui group in the future might be better than the Jiangnan gentry and wealthy families who were suffering from the Great Purge, but it was definitely not much better!
......
A few days later, Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, announced that he would hand over all the acres of land and unconditionally support the imperial court to change the law.
As soon as this news came out, the government and the opposition were shocked, the world was shocked, sitting in Nanjing, the Xu family of the first Duke of Wei who was the founder of the country fell to the side of the emperor, who could stop the emperor's footsteps.
The civil official group and the Xungui group couldn't help but greet the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Xu family, however, something even more shocking happened again!
The emperor wanted to abolish the royal family's support for the silver and support the division of the vassal king's descendants.
As soon as this news came out, the feudal kings in various places instantly quit their work, and let their second sons, concubines, brothers, nephews, and even some remote relatives participate in the division of the family, so wouldn't the wealth they had worked so hard to accumulate be wasted.
The vassal kings were extremely dissatisfied with the so-called separation, but their relatives were very happy, and they were all eagerly waiting for the arrival of Yan Song, who presided over the division of the vassal king.
The first thing Yan Song found was Zhao Wang Zhu Youdi, who was a descendant of Zhu Gaosui, the third son of Emperor Yongle, and was quite low-key among the vassal kings, but low-key did not mean that he was willing to accept that his family property was divided up by a group of relatives.
Zhao Wang Zhu Youdi gathered a group of family guards, ready to resist to the death, but directly let his relatives tie them up and drag them to Yan Song like a big dumpling.
The reason why this happens comes down to one word: poor.
Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, had participated in the rebellion of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, so the king of Zhao was never treated by the emperor, and Zhu Youdi, the king of Zhao, was a miser, and he refused to give any of the money he got to the relatives of the king of Zhao.
This led to the fact that the royal family members of King Zhao's lineage nominally carried the names of the three generals and the three captains, but in fact, they were all so poor that they were about to ask for food!
When they heard that the emperor supported the separation of the family, the royal family members of King Zhao, who were about to go crazy, could not bear it, rushed into King Zhao's mansion in a swarm, and directly tied up King Zhao Zhu Youbi and King Zhao's son Zhu Houyu!
Their attitude is very clear, this family also scores, and no points are scored, the emperor supports the separation, do you still want to resist and not admit it?
When the royal family members of King Zhao escorted King Zhao Zhu Youbi and Zhu Houyu, the son of King Zhao, to see Yan Song, Yan Song himself was shocked, the royal family kidnapped the vassal king, it was really a strange news for the ages!
Zhao Wang Zhu Youdi, Zhao Wang's son Zhu Houyu, and all the royal personnel of Zhao Wang's line are all here, and things will be easy to do.
Splitting up the family, in fact, is no different from copying the family.
Collect the wealth and title deeds of King Zhao's mansion together, divide them among the royal family members of King Zhao's lineage, and then collect the rest, and the matter is over!
In the whole process, the royal family members of King Zhao's lineage had a foundation for their lives, and the imperial court recovered a large amount of land and acres, and everyone was happy, but Zhao Wang Zhu Youdi and Zhao Wang's son Zhu Houyu and his son Zhu Houyu were like eating cow dung, and their faces were extremely ugly.
The wealth is gone, the land is gone, and they are still a fart vassal king, not even an ordinary businessman.
"Yan Song, you bastard......"
"Zhu Houzhao, you rabbit cub ......"
The two fathers and sons scolded, with no demeanor, like scolding a street shrew, full of firepower, facing Yan Song and Zhu Houzhao is a crazy output.
The majestic posture that a vassal king should have, and the demeanor and demeanor that a royal descendant should have, all made them throw away from the clouds.
The family property that they have worked so hard to accumulate is all gone, and their relatives of King Zhao and the court are divided cleanly, except for a huge Zhao Wang's mansion, there is nothing left, and their hearts are dripping blood!
No one cared what the two fathers and sons thought in their hearts, and the royal family members of King Zhao, who had obtained the land and wealth, left one after another, and before leaving, they did not forget to mock them.
They are all the descendants of Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, these two guys are rich and rich, what do they want, but they are poor and precarious, and now seeing the father and son of King Zhao in trouble, the mood of the royal family members of King Zhao is extremely comfortable.
"Please King Zhao and the prince go home!"
Yan Song ordered people to take King Zhao's father and son away, and kept scolding and scolding, like scolding street shrews, which made his head hurt.
"I didn't expect that there would be so many poor people in the royal family!"
Following behind Yan Song, Yan Shifan, who came to observe and study, said with emotion.
The world always says that the royal family is good, and they are born carefree and enjoy all the glory and wealth, but now it seems that it is not as beautiful as imagined.
Among the royal family members of King Zhao's lineage, he saw many people in difficult situations, with ragged clothes and withered faces, like beggars.
"The royal family support system formulated by Emperor Taizu is actually very perfect, but no matter how perfect the system is, there will be loopholes."
"The real glory and wealth are the vassal kings, and most of the royal family members can only solve the problem of food and clothing, and it is not surprising that some are poor."
Yan Song said suddenly, it is not without precedent for the royal family to be poor and poor, Liu Xiu, the Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty who farmed the land, and Liu Bei, the Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty who weaved mats and sold shoes, are the most typical declining royal family.
