Chapter 32 The way to go, you choose for yourselves
Li Yunze really felt tired.
This time I went down to the south of the Yangtze River, from the beginning of leaving Chaoyangmen to the present, there were all kinds of endless things along the way.
From the banknote customs to the salt affairs, from the nobles to the Donglin Party, from the local civil and military to the officials, from the rectification of the guard to the blood alliance case, from the typhoon to the Qingtian and so on.
When I came to Jiangnan, there was almost no reasonable good thing.
The whole of Jiangnan is rotten into a swamp, and it is a bad thing to go everywhere.
In the dead of night, when he was still in the state of a sage, he also thought about simply pretending to see nothing, and just learning what a perfect old man could just enjoy.
Get a huge amount of materials from the modern world, at least on the surface, it can extend the life of the Ming Dynasty.
But he really couldn't do it.
On the surface, it looks good and has a fart, but it is still rotten to the root at the root.
Even, because of Li Yunze's large-scale supply of materials, the degree of decay will be even more bottomless.
Those who should suffer are still suffering.
You can't let the new army equipped with AKs rush all the poor people who can't survive and join the rogues.
The most irresponsible thing in the world is, 'I can go up and I can do it.'" ’
The second is 'you can go up, you can do it.'" ’
The cow that was blown out at the beginning had to be brought back.
Not for anything else, not for achieving the goal or anything, it is purely the bottom line of being a good person.
His thighs were grinding out of calluses, and after working so hard for so long, he finally made some achievements, giving many Jiangnan people who were pressed and gasping for breath, a little more breath of air and a chance to breathe.
Now, it's time to do the last big thing in Jiangnan this time.
He's going to straighten out the clan!
Emperor Yingtian's Palace, Fengtian Palace.
Looking at the group of princes below clamoring and shouting, Li Yunze only had one sentence in his heart at this time.
'Life is impermanent, and the large intestine encompasses the small intestine. ’
A group of princes kept accusing Li Yunze like shrews, saying that he was ashamed of his ancestors and his relatives.
The reason, of course, is not for the sake of intercession for the sake of King Fu, but for themselves.
In fact, in the beginning, the kings were still very honest.
I dare not miss the number of courtesies that should be there, and my attitude is very sincere.
But when Li Yunze mentioned 'rectifying the kings' mansions and giving fields', he immediately exploded.
When it comes to the blessed king, the kings are just helping to say a few good words on their faces.
But when Li Yunze stretched his claws to their fields, he turned his face on the spot.
Looking at the foaming at the mouth in front of him, eager to spray himself to death with his mouth, Li Yunze smiled happily.
Stretched out his hand to take the tea bowl from Wang Chengen on the side, and after taking a sip, he raised his hand and smashed the tea bowl on the ground.
The gate of Fengtian Hall was slammed open, and a large group of brocade guards and Dongchang fans swarmed in.
They surrounded the kings, all with their swords in their hands.
The original hustle and bustle was like the Fengtian Temple of the vegetable market, but it was instantly quiet.
The green tendons on his forehead jumped, and Li Yunze took a deep breath and stood up.
Gazing around at the kings, "Are you floating, or are you not able to move your sword?" ”
"In the past few days, you haven't heard anything about what has happened in various parts of Jiangnan?"
Walking down the Dan steps, Li Yunze flicked his sleeves, "Do you know how many thieves have been cut, and you also want to join them?" ”
In the face of Li Yunze's three consecutive questions, Zhu Huakui, the ninth king of Chu, became angry, "We are the clan, and the Taizu is appointed!" Is Your Majesty going to slaughter the clan? If you have the ability, you will punish me and wait! ”
With someone taking the lead, the kings' momentum rose again, and they immediately began to make a noise.
It is clearly recorded in the Ming Dynasty's "Clan Regulations" that the vassal king was not allowed to leave the city where the fief was located.
The kings were able to gather here today only because Li Yunze ordered them to come in the name of the Holy Decree.
When Li Yunze was still busy in Huating, the kings who arrived in Yingtianfu one after another had already done a lot of exchanges in private.
The emperor swept all the way with iron and blood, rectified and rectified. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the end, they will definitely attack the vassals.
They had already agreed that when the time came, they would have to advance and retreat together.
So now as soon as Zhu Huakui came out, all the vassal kings began to wave their flags and shout to strengthen their momentum.
Li Yunze, who was squinting, looked at Zhu Huakui, who was spitting in front of him.
In the records on the relevant materials, what interests Li Yunze the most is what Zhang Xianzhong said.
'Take all the gold and silver in the palace, and carry hundreds of carts. With such money, you can't set up a guard, Zhu Huzi is really mediocre! ’
Zhang Xianzhong attacked Wuchang, and the local civil and military asked the king of Chu to pay money and donate money to retreat the thief army.
And Zhu Huakui pointed to his gold-wrapped chair and said, 'This can be used to support the army, he has nothing!' ’
As a result, Wuchang Mansion was captured, and he himself was thrown into the Yangtze River to feed the fish, and all the millions of family fortunes became Zhang Xianzhong's spoils.
Another thing is that this guy was so bold that he actually killed Zhao Kehuai, the governor of Huguang, in public.
It was the governor, a real member of the court, who was actually beaten to death by the vassal king because of trivial matters.
Such a fool has no other use than wasting food.
Li Yunze raised his hand, looked at his clearly textured palm, and slapped Zhu Huakui's face with all his might!
'Smack! The clamor of the kings came to an abrupt end again.
This is not over, Li Yunze stepped forward and reached out to carry Zhu Huakui's collar and opened the bow left and right.
Dozens of big bibi passed, and Zhu Huakui's originally chubby face was no different from a pig's head.
Leaving it on the ground casually, Li Yunze turned around and went to get the embroidered spring knife in Luo Yangxing's hand.
Luo Yang stammered and dissuaded, "Long live, long live." Let the ministers come, and do not stain the hand of Banzai. ”
Li Yunze turned his head to look at Cao Bianjiao again: "Where is my horsewhip?" ”
The whip was in hand, and Li Yunze stepped forward and whipped at Zhu Huakui, "Let you call, let you go crazy!" The bullshit-like vassal king, the Ming Dynasty is gone, you are a fart! Call me out, let you scream, let you scream! ”
I was tired of pumping until I was out of breath and then let go.
And Zhu Huakui is here, there is already less air intake and more air out.
The kings were all frightened, they really didn't expect that as a prince, they would also be beaten one day.
Well, the emperor beat the prince... It's reasonable.
After taking a few breaths to ease up, Li Yunze looked at Luo Yangxing, "What about this letter of collusion with King Fu to conspire against him?" ”
Luo Yangxing hurriedly saluted, "Write now, at most a quarter of an hour." ”
Stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhu Huakui and instructed, "Convict and enter the Blood Alliance case and send it to Fuwang Guan together." When the hour comes, send them on their way. ”
Several Dongchang fans immediately stepped forward and dragged Zhu Huakui out of Fengtian Hall like a dead pig.
Looking at the long blood marks falling on the gold bricks on the ground, the kings who were still shouting and roaring wildly before were completely dumbfounded.
'This emperor really dares to die. He is not afraid that he will have no face to see his ancestors and ancestors in the future? ’
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, it was Zhu Youzhen's business, and what did he do with him Li Yunze.
Li Yunze waved the horsewhip in his hand, and looked around at the kings, and no one dared to look at him.
"Don't talk nonsense or anything." His face was straight, "I say, listen." Those who agree can go back to the fiefdom, and those who don't agree will stay and accompany King Fu and King Chu on the road together. Got it? ”
The kings were silent.
It's not that I don't understand, but I'm so scared that I don't know what to say.
"I want to rebuild the regulations of the clan. From now on, all the rice of the clan will be halved, all the fields will be returned to the inner government, all the salt will be invalidated, and all the shops, businesses, mansions, and estates will be returned to the inner government. The goods in the palaces were counted and sorted, and only 10,000 taels could be left at most, and all the rest were collected by the inner palace. ”
"The titles below General Fengguo will be abolished. The title is inherited, and each generation is downgraded by three levels. ”
Although they were afraid, they could not help but oppose such a harsh request in a loud voice.
'Smack! ’
Li Yunze whipped his horse, and Fengtian Hall was quiet again.
The kings were afraid to go on the road with the blessed king.
After the whip is drawn, you also have to give some benefit money.
"Everyone in the clan can fend for their own livelihood and do whatever they want. Studying for the imperial examination, farming and doing business, going to sea to run merchant ships, even if you want to be the king of the mountain. Except for the vassal king, who could not leave the fiefdom, there were no longer restrictions on the movement of the rest of the clans. ”
"All clans are uniformly given a one-time living allowance by the Inner Government according to the number of people below the general of Fengguo. Each person has fifty taels of silver, fifty stones of grain, one hundred catties of salt, and ten acres of Huangzhuang. It's a buyout of the knighthood. ”
The number of registered clans in the Ming Dynasty is as high as more than 100,000.
The largest number is below the general of Bongkook.
According to the standard proposed by Li Yunze, it is estimated that it will cost several million taels of buyout.
However, the good thing is that you can completely get rid of the heavy burden in the future.
Above the general of Fengguo, even if Lu rice is halved, he can maintain a decent life, but he can't be as poor and luxurious as before.
As for the downgrading of each generation of lords, it is even more of a salary drawn.
In addition to the eldest son who inherited the throne, the other sons of the kings were directly generals of Fengguo, and if they wanted to pass it on, they would be gone.
If any family breaks the inheritance, it will be directly removed.
Since Li Yunze had concentrated all the kings in Yingtianfu, he didn't plan to give them room to turn around.
"No intercession, no negotiation."
He turned back to the dragon chair and sat down, fiddling with the horsewhip in his hand, "If you are willing to obey, stand on the left." If you don't want to, stand to the right. ”
The kings were silent, neither to the left nor to the right.
"Playing with me here, silence is golden."
Li Yunze was angry and laughed, "I don't want to choose, right." Okay, then I will choose for you. ”
Glancing at Wang Chengen, the great eunuch walked up to the kings with a stick holder containing a bamboo stick.
"Each person draws one, draws a short one and sends it directly to be with King Fu, and when the time comes, I will send you on the road and remove the lord by the way."
"Hooray!"
Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, shouted angrily, "It is born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other!" ”
"My root is the hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty."
Hearing this, Li Yunze shook his head again and again and smiled, "What use do you have besides being poor and extravagant, consuming people's fat and people's ointment?" If I hadn't become an emperor, I would have rebelled a long time ago, and I would have taken all of you and the others into Yigut! ”
After he finished laughing, he took the new tea bowl and drank it all, "How to go on the road, you choose for yourself." ”
