Jia Lian has specialized in the study of the clans of the Zhou and Zheng dynasties.

The Zhou Dynasty's clan feudal system was inherited from the Tang Dynasty, when Taizong Guo Rong took Tang Taizong Li Shimin as his idol, and after unification, he followed the Tang Dynasty system in many places.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the royal family could enjoy the support of a state or a government, but they were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the state capital.

By the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the bloodline of the Heavenly Family had gone through hundreds of years of multiplication, almost all over the country, which brought great pressure to local finances.

One of the important aspects of Zhou Sizong's reform was the reform of the clan system. However, because he was too careless and did not understand the principle that reform needs to be gradual, when the world was in turmoil, the clans that should support the emperor the most rebelled one after another.

When the dynasty was set in Jinling, the members of the Great Zheng clan were scarce. However, Emperor Taizu still learned the lessons of the Zhou Dynasty and established the clan feudal system of Dazheng.

Taizu learned the lesson that the Zhou Dynasty clan relied entirely on local finances to support it, resulting in a serious financial burden. It is stipulated that all the great Zheng clans need to be self-reliant.

The descendants of the royal family, the prince was crowned the king of the county at the beginning, and participated in state affairs to become the prince when he grew up.

Then the prince and his son-in-law succeeded to the throne, and the rest of the descendants were crowned county kings or town princes, and auxiliary state princes.

In order, there are Zhenguo generals, auxiliary generals, first-class generals, third-class generals, and fifth-class generals.

Taizu once said that Dazheng would never raise the clan as a pig, except that the close branch clan could participate in state affairs in the court, and the distant branch clan in the feudal territory could engage in all walks of life, be self-reliant, and support themselves.

Of course, if the clan wants to participate in government affairs, it can do so. However, the generals of Zhenguo and the distant branch clans below need to participate in the imperial examination or the martial examination.

Therefore, because of the system set by Taizu, many members of the Dazheng royal family are still in Beijing today.

In addition to the royal families such as the King of Yiping, Prince Yizhong, and Prince Zhongshun, who participated in politics and even played the role of seizing the heir, there were also a large number of officials in Beijing, soldiers and even business personnel among the sons of the Holy Ancestors.

Therefore, in the Guangming Hall, the main hall of the Daming Palace, the sect has a special place.

Jia Lian was now sitting in his place observing those clan princes. As Jia Lian, who appeared at the highest level of Dazheng for the first time, he was naturally the focus of many people's attention, so when he saw that Jia Lian had been paying attention to the position of the clan, some people couldn't sit still.

King Zhongshun said a few words to the people around him, and the man stood up and drove in front of Jia Lian.

"Jia Lian, what do you want to do, where the dragon and the phoenix grandson are, it is also a place where you can peep at will, and you don't kneel down to ask for guilt!"

Looking at the eleven or twelve-year-old young clan in front of him, looking at his clothes, he should be a character like the Duke of Zhenguo or the Duke of Fuguo.

Jia Lian wasn't interested in talking to him at all, but glanced at the main one.

The young man seemed to be even more angry when he saw Jia Lian's attitude, and was about to roar a few words loudly.

However, Jia Lian obviously didn't plan to make a fool of himself at such a time, especially since the son of Longzheng Tianzi should be there soon.

So Jia Lian decided to play with King Zhongshun.

"This little grandfather, I'm clumsy, I don't know if you are?"

When the young man heard Jia Lian inquire about his identity, he immediately felt that the opportunity to show off had come:

"I am Prince Zhongyi's son-in-law, Zheng Feng, the prince of Zhenguo."

Prince Zhongyi, Jia Lian remembered hearing Lin Ruhai talk about it when he was in Yangzhou. He was the thirteenth son of Emperor Shengzu that year, and he was rarely chivalrous and a well-known chivalrous king.

But unlike the thirteen elder brothers of Kangxi in history, this thirteen heroes of Dazheng is a real hero. He joined Wudang at the age of eight, and returned to Shenjing after ten years of martial arts in Wudang Mountain, still obsessed with martial arts and did not ask about the world.

Such a lord may be regarded as a little transparent in national politics. However, in the eyes of Zongzheng Temple and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the Thirteen Princes' Mansion of Fengvan Shenjing is actually quite heavy.

Because the favor that the thirteen kings gave up in their lives was too much. Even Jia Daishan of the Jia family owed favors to the Zhongyi Palace.

After Jia Lian inherited the title, before leaving Beijing and going south, he wanted to visit Prince Zhongyi, who was cultivating at home, but was told by the housekeeper of the palace that the old prince was unwell and did not see any foreign guests.

However, Jia Lian is not worried about anything, the young man in front of him should be the child born to the princess of the main family who is the old prince's successor, and he has been spoiled since he was a child.

Otherwise, how could it be possible for the king of Zhongshun to run to be the first bird as soon as he provoked.

However, Jia Lian didn't think that the identity of Prince Zhongyi's Mansion would make him jealous. Not to mention that he is just a prince of the palace, he only has the title of Duke of Zhenguo, even if Prince Zhongyi arrives in person, Jia Lian dares to clean him up.

"It turned out to be the son of the thirteenth prince, it's really disrespectful. It's just that the grandfather has a sentence that Ben Jue doesn't understand, Ben Jue is just thinking about something, how did he become a peep.

What's more, this place is not the White Tiger Festival Hall, and it is not a military aircraft powerhouse tonight. It's just a peep.

Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Isn't it that you were just discussing something against the sky? ”

King Zhongshun, who was observing from afar, saw that Zheng Feng was forced to say nothing by Jia Lian when he said a few words, and scolded a fool in his heart.

But he still had to be relieved, otherwise if the thirteenth brother hit the door, King Zhongshun would not feel that he had a chance to retreat.

That kid is a martial arts maniac at all.

King Zhongshun, who was about to get up, was interrupted by a burst of salutation, and King Zhongshun could hear that this was the coming of the Son of Heaven.

Of course, the other courtiers could also hear the meaning of this music, so they returned directly to their places and quietly waited for the emperor to arrive.

At this time, in the Fengzao Palace, the side hall, Yuan Chun was meticulously arranging the attachés from each mansion who came with the order.

Of course, except for an old man like Jia Mu who needs to bring a personal maid, most of the edicts who participate in the palace banquet are to bring their sisters, daughters, and even nieces into the palace.

The meaning is very clear, after all, the host of the Heavenly Family is the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace. Not everyone is qualified to participate in the banquet hosted by Jia Yuanchun.

No, Yuan Chun had just walked into the side hall of Fengzao Palace when he looked up and saw several familiar faces.
