Chapter 266: The Wrath of the Vassal King
readx;
Chen Lian's thinking is not unreasonable, it seems that one of the two sides of the trouble this time is a vassal king, and the other is only a marquis of a thousand households, only looking at the strength on the surface, it is definitely the Jingjiang royal mansion that has the advantage, but the Ming Dynasty has no precedent of a foreign surname to be a vassal domain, but a Jinyi Wei thousand households can be the marquis of ten thousand households, which itself has another deep meaning.

Let's take a look first, see what actions the Jingjiang Mansion will make, see how the imperial court views this lawsuit, and then see what the background of Wanhu Hou is, and it will naturally come to light after half a month.
Chen Lian agreed on the plan, and naturally became cautious, and the governor Yamen did not seem to have any intention of interfering with what happened in Lianzhou.
At the same time, the entire Jingjiang Palace was in chaos.
The Jingjiang Wang line took root in Guangxi as early as as now, lasted for four generations, and had great authority in Guangxi.
But this time, the Jingjiang Mansion did not have the slightest preparation, and the grange on the Lianzhou side was actually copied by the Marquis of Wanhu, not only that, but also a Zhu Shan.
The relatives of Jingjiang Wangfu have now exceeded more than 100 people, so many people are not enough to rely on fiefdom alone, after all, the vassal king is not better than others, the pomp is bigger, and there are due etiquette regulations for entry and exit, and even during the New Year's Festival, the cost of various greetings and send-offs is also expensive, so as early as more than 30 years ago, Jingjiang Wangfu was hit with the idea of other prefectures and counties, but after all, they are not as good as those vassal kings who are closer to the palace, people dare to blatantly encroach on the land, but the relationship between Jingjiang Wangfu and the palace is not very solid, a hundred years ago was a family, After all, this thing is not very reliable, so the actions of the Jingjiang Palace have always been cautious, only this time, the Jingjiang Palace seized the opportunity and gained a lot of benefits in one fell swoop.
I thought it was just a marquis of ten thousand households, no matter what way he came from, he always had to be soft in front of the vassal king, but I never thought that people were not only not easy to bully, but also a ruthless character.
A Zhu Shan is just a side disciple, and it is not worth the entire Jingjiang Mansion to run for him, but when the matter comes to this field, if Zhu Shan is not rescued, where will the face of the Jingjiang Mansion go?
It is said that the grange has now been seized, and all the truckloads of grain have been transported to the Lianzhou Mansion, and the always mild-mannered King Jingjiang was furious and smashed a tea cup. The subordinates in the palace also felt the unusual atmosphere these days, and they didn't dare to make a sound with their tails between their legs.
Early in the morning, Mr. Zhao in the palace hurriedly returned to the palace, this Mr. Zhao is a celebrity around the prince, in charge of the entire palace in many places of the grange, it is said that a few days ago he went to Lianzhou, and when he came back, his face was very bad.
King Jingjiang has not slept well these days, so he got up late, although someone has already reported, but Mr. Zhao still waited in the hall until the third pole, although Mr. Zhao's face is not good-looking, but he is also very patient, while drinking tea, while thoughtful.
King Jingjiang is late, his face is also iron-blue, and now King Jingjiang has just turned 50 years old, his beard has turned a lot whiter, his body is bloated, and his complexion is not bad.
It's just that the pair of slender eyes are dark under the eyes, he hurriedly entered the hall, his eyes fell on Mr. Zhao's body, Mr. Zhao wanted to get up and salute, King Jingjiang just pressed his hand on him, signaling that he didn't have to be polite.
After King Jingjiang came in, a maid immediately brought the beast furnace, and the sandalwood in the beast furnace curled up, exuding a calming aroma.
King Jingjiang took a sip of tea, his fat face did not show joy and anger, and after a long time, he said, "What did the governor Yamen say?" ”
When King Jingjiang spoke, his tone was flat, but the words were very clear, using a Guilin accent, over the years, the native pronunciation of Fengyang has gradually changed, and the Zhu family has long been integrated into Guangxi.
Mr. Zhao didn't rush to answer, but thought of the wording first, and then said lightly: "Lord Wang, there is no movement at all on the side of the governor's yamen, it seems that Chen Lian doesn't want to be involved here." ”
King Jingjiang snorted coldly, but he didn't say anything excessive, in fact, in his heart, if he King Jingjiang sat in the position of governor, most of them would choose to be silent, and the way to be an official was to avoid tossing as much as possible, the princes and nobles could afford to toss, but the officials couldn't afford to toss.
Mr. Zhao said: "Lord Wang, the student also went to Lianzhou in the past few days, and invited someone to negotiate with the Wanhu Hou, but that guy was very tough, and the person who invited him was beaten out." ”
Asking someone to negotiate, it seems that the palace is giving in to the marquis of Wanhu, but in fact, the most important thing at the moment is to rescue people first, of course, this account must be calculated, but not now.
Regardless of whether this negotiation can succeed or not, at least you can test the mind of the Wanhu Marquis first, but it seems that the ending is not very good, and Liu Chengfeng does not eat this set.
Hearing the three words of Wanhu Hou, King Jingjiang's brows furrowed, but he didn't speak, and he was angry, now is not the time to lose his temper.
Mr. Zhao looked at King Jingjiang's face, leaned over, and continued: "It seems that this Marquis of Wanhu is really going to have a grudge with the Jingjiang Palace, and the prince should prepare in advance, since there is no room for maneuver, only desperate." ”
Mr. Zhao deliberately aggravated the word desperate, in his opinion, the performance of the palace has been very restrained, and since Liu Chengfeng is shameless now, he has to give him a little color.
King Jingjiang narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Mr. Zhao, now the only way to sue the emperor is to sue the emperor, in Mr. Zhao's opinion, which side will the imperial court favor?" ”
The court that King Jingjiang said is actually in the palace, and which side the palace prefers is the most important.
Mr. Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Wang, the student thinks that Lord Wang only has a thirty percent chance of winning. ”
Thirty percent?
King Jingjiang's face was even worse.
Mr. Zhao said: "This marquis of ten thousand households does not look at the title is not high, but after all, it has opened a precedent for foreign surnames to be vassals, if there is no trust in the palace and no holy family, how can it be sealed?" Therefore, from the student's point of view, it is precisely because of the support of the palace that this person is so bold, and if this lawsuit is really fought, the prince may not have any chance of winning. ”
King Jingjiang took a breath and said coldly: "This Ming is surnamed Zhu, and the dignified vassal king was deceived by a small thousand households, could it be that the emperor would still favor outsiders?" ”
Mr. Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart, there is nothing wrong with the surname Zhu in the world, but the family relationship between the Jingjiang palace and the palace has long been as thin as paper, and relying on this little kinship can influence the thoughts in the palace? It's a dream.
Mr. Zhao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The prince is angry, in fact, it is not impossible to get justice, a single prince may not be able to treat him ten thousand households, but what if it is ten or twenty vassal kings?" The fact that the marquis of Wanhu did it was too much, the grange of the vassal king also dared to attack, and the children of the clan also dared to take it to punish the crime at will, the prince thought about it, if the other vassal kings heard it, what would they think? Now it is said that the marquis of Wanhu can set this precedent, then in the future, Zhao Chengfeng and Wang Chengfeng will follow suit, and the prince will take revenge on the shame, so he has to make some articles on this, agitate, and let the vassal kings of the provinces hate the same enemy. The student heard that King Ning and the Marquis of Wanhu have been at odds for a long time, and the two sides are on the same footing, and King Ning has a reputation among the vassal kings, if the prince writes to the court to complain about grievances, while going to King Ning, please ask King Ning to come forward, and then the vassal kings of the provinces will rush up, and at this time, a Marquis of Wanhu is a great saint, how can the palace protect him, and what can it be? In order to appease the vassal king, the imperial court is bound to use Liu Chengfeng to set an example. ”
King Jingjiang fell into deep thought, and was reminded by Mr. Zhao that his strength may not be enough, so it is better to encourage everyone to build momentum together, and then the palace will have to think about it. It's just that those vassal kings with the same surname are really willing to stand up for themselves? After hesitating again and again, King Jingjiang was a little sure, after all, everyone's surname was Zhu, and the Jingjiang Palace's fall to this step of the field would inevitably make people sad, and as Mr. Zhao said, the relationship between King Ning and the Marquis of Wanhu was tense, and King Ning was very prestigious among the vassal kings, if he could come forward, this matter would be half the matter.
Thinking of this, King Jingjiang made up his mind and said, "Okay, everything will be done according to Mr. Zhao's method." ”
Mr. Zhao smiled, and then said, "The most important thing at the moment is another thing. Lord, the grange in Lianzhou is considered to be a loss, I thought that Zhu Shan could increase the income of the palace treasury over there, but now he was forcibly levied so much money and food by the marquis of Wanhu, the students calculated, this year's money and food in the palace are only afraid that they will not be able to make ends meet, and they have to tighten their belts. ”
As Mr. Zhao said, the original palace had some fields over there, and it could make some progress, but now there is so much land, that is to say, all the grain of 170,000 acres of fertile land is paid by the palace, and it is impossible to pay if you want to.
The expenditure of the palace is already tight, especially in the past few years, the population has become more and more, so many mouths, want to save, but can not find a place to save, as Mr. Zhao said, if there is no input, is it to let the Jingjiang palace eat the northwest wind?
King Jingjiang's face looked very bad, and he said for a long time: "The money and grain of Lianzhou Grange have been robbed by the damn Wanhu Hou, since they say that it is the money and grain paid, then even if the money and grain are paid, the wool will always come out of the sheep, and you can't let the palace pay the grain to those squires below, and the money has to be taken back from the hands of those squires. ”
Mr. Zhao thought about it, and felt that something was wrong, but the situation of the palace seemed to be the best way to do it, the squires hung the name of the palace, and they originally wanted to avoid taxes, but now this tax can't be avoided, and people have directly taken away the taxes from the palace, and they can't let the palace post money to these squires, this money, total
