Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Surrender of the Vassal King

"Nephew...... Now I just hope that you will see His Royal Highness the Prince, who is as beautiful as a fairy, and don't follow the nymphomaniac! ”

After saying this, Liu Tong's words finally brought a little thorn.

When Liu Yunsheng heard this, he finally smiled and turned his unobtrusive words around: "Speaking of which, His Royal Highness's actions against the clan are really silent." There were many things that provoked the anger of the people in the city guarding the city of King Lu of Shandong, and then, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Prison State verified many illegal acts of King Lu and dismissed King Lu in one fell swoop. But for this reason, the Shandong clan does not have much resentment, and I don't know how much effort His Highness has used! ”

"Counting the examples of the King of Zhou in Henan, the King of Fu in Luoyang, and the King of Lu in Yanzhou, one positive and two negative, and this time the Chu Domain...... His Highness's handwriting is really amazing, and even more curious. How much strength, how sleek the wrists, and how firm the courage can be to deal with the clan, but there are not many storms, which shows that the reform should be useful! ”

"I've heard that." Liu Tong smiled, he Chongzhen has been a scholar for seven years, and he has a reputation as early as when he was a student, but he has been idle at home, so his reputation in officialdom is rare. It's just that Liu Tong has a high reputation, good literary talents, and many heroic contacts, so he has a wider range of ways and more extensive news than his nephew Liu Yunsheng, who is doing business at home: "Your Highness has indeed begun to advocate reforms, those rare big strokes, great courage." ”

For the clan, Zhu Cihong started early in the morning. As early as the Kaifeng period, Zhu Cihong secretly talked with King Zhou about the reform of the clan.

The clan reform was divided into two parts, the upper and the lower. The lower level is easy to do, and it only needs to release the ban on opening the lower clan, so that the vast majority of ordinary clan people can live like normal people. What's more, Zhu Cihong also praised the children of the clan for enrolling in the army. The proportion of children of these clans enrolled in school is relatively high, and it can be said that they are a high-quality and reliable source of soldiers.

For the upper layer. Zhu Cihong promised that once the king of Zhou gave up his political privileges, he would only retain the honorary prince. Then we can let go of political constraints. That is to say, from now on, the clan can obtain real political rights, can do business, can apply for the imperial examination, and can work. The most important thing is that Zhu Cihong introduced a concept of succession to the throne, breaking the hazy political restrictions and allowing the vassal king to completely get out of the strange circle of political suspicion.

For King Zhou, this finally gave him a glimmer of hope to get out of the palace wall.

For this. The king of Zhou, Zhu Gongfang, decided to give up most of his land and sold it to Zhu Cihong at a very low price to open up the Invalids Farm and carry out large-scale plantation farm production, while the king of Zhou himself devoted himself to recruiting craftsmen to develop technology and set up a large number of workshops.

has financial advantages, technical reserves, and a place like Kaifeng, Henan Province, where there is no shortage of labor, you can imagine how happy Zhu Gongfang is to open a workshop.

King Zhou's side is naturally a positive example.

After pacifying Henan, the legacy of King Fu of Luoyang was also put on Zhu Cihong's table. Compared to King Zhou. King Fu's fate was much more tragic.

In his own life, he was thrown into the pot by Li Zicheng and cooked, and made into the famous Fulu wine, which can be said to be scared how many children cried.

After Zhu Cihong defeated Li Zicheng, Luoyang, Henan was also recovered early by Sun Chuanting. As soon as the officers and soldiers came. Before the people settled, Zhu Youxiang, the later emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the current son of King Fu, came over to collect his family property in a hurry.

Zhu Cihong is carrying out a large-scale post-war reconstruction with a few million taels of gains, where will he promise Zhu Youxiang?

Plus Zhu Cihong checked it casually. Let the blessed king Zhu Changxun be rich and unkind, and his deeds will be widely spread. In the last days of this dynasty, there was already a lot of hatred for the rich, not to mention that he died to this extent for the rich and unkind?

Soon. Zhu Youxiang slipped away, and never mentioned the matter of returning to King Fu's property. For the later Hongguang Emperor Zhu Cihong, he saw that he had not done any evil deeds at the moment. It's just that after the play, the lineage of King Fu was demoted from the prince to the prince of the county, and he didn't care about it.

Fu Wang's is a neutral and positive example, but it is reasonable enough.

As for the following, King Lu, a completely negative example of not dying and not dying, is even simpler. The vassal kings of Shandong were all plundered by the Qing army as the number one local tyrant, and then after some investigation, it turned out that the vassal kings did absolutely bad things, and there were no good things, so Zhu Cihong naturally abolished the princes of Lu and pulled out the privileges of the vassal kings in Shandong. Without the resistance of the top-level vassal king, the children of the clan were naturally more happy to be free of restraints.

For this reason, many of the children of the Nanjing Normal School are the children of the clan. Among them, there are both students and teachers, not to mention, the education level of the clan may be the highest group in the whole Ming Dynasty.

For this reason, Zhu Cihong had specially prepared a letter to invite Zhu Gongqi, the king of Zhou, to teach at Nanjing Normal School.

It's just that Zhu Gongfang is still only the crown prince, so he politely declined this invitation, but in private, don't mention how excited Zhu Gongfang is.

"Your Highness...... How? Liu Yunsheng was excited to hear the gossip.

Liu Tong slapped Liu Yunsheng's head hard: "Dongqing is in the frontier, and I am instructed to discipline you well in my family letter, and I don't care about your appearance of being excited when you see a man, but can you inquire about this matter at the moment?" To do business, you must be strict with your mouth and understand the rules. With such a qualitative point, how can you expect your family business in the future? This time, the four families in Macheng are here, and those families will not be demolished in the provincial capital, but how many wealthy families are in Huguang, not to mention anything else, the Yongzhou Xintian Luo family is also here! ”

Hearing this, Liu Yunsheng didn't smile anymore, and he had a very upright attitude.

Their six families in Huguang Matian are actually considered wealthy families, and compared with other wealthy families in Huguang, they have another layer of prestige, that is, the Jinyi Wei family.

Liu Meng, the ancestor of the Liu family, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty with Zhu Yuanzhang raised troops and became an official (Zhangzhou Mansion, Fujian) with the same knowledge, gave Tian Macheng, because of the family, Hongwu 27 years, Liu Meng's son Liu Congzheng Jinshi. Since then, the Liu family has been a successive, with 17 people in the township test, 14 Chinese martial artists, and 11 Chinese scholars; 3 Wu Jinshi. During the Tianshun period, Zhu Qizhen of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty gave the Liu family the title of "Jinghu Ding Clan".

Among the celebrities of the Liu family in the past dynasties, there are the famous Liu Xun who "governs the world", Liu Pu, a famous minister who "has the first division in Jiangyou", Liu Tianhe, the secretary of the military department who "ranks first in the world in the performance appraisal of the imperial court", Liu Shouyou, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Liu Qiao, the prince and the prince, and Liu Chengxi, the collector who copied the first printing of the "world's first strange book" "Golden Plum Bottle". So far, the famous writer Liu Tong of the "Jingling School" is famous.

That is, this Jinshi of Chongzhen for seven years, Liu Tong, who came to Wuchang for a banquet at this moment.

[The Liu family in Macheng and the Luo family in Xintian are both true. (To be continued.) )
