King Zhu Youshu is tall and tall, with broad ears, and he can be described as a talent. In fact, after more than 200 years of genetic improvement, there is no long difference in the appearance of the Zhu family vassal kings.

Zhu Youshu was originally the second son of the concubine, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to inherit the German domain, but because of his brother the son of the king of De, he was able to inherit the throne as a concubine, and the succession has only been two years.

Although Zhu Youshu is also greedy and tyrannical, not much different from other vassal kings, he has only been a vassal king for two years, and he has not had time to do too many bad things. In fact, the bad impression left by the German domain on the people of Shandong is more due to the accumulation of the German kings in the past dynasties, and the relationship with the current German king Zhu Youshu is not too big.

But what made Zhu Youzhen have a very bad impression of Zhu Youshu was that in another time and space, when Dolgon led the Jiannu army to break through Jinan in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, many clans of King De assisted in defending the city, or were killed in resisting Jiannu's attack, or committed suicide, but Zhu Youshu was captured by Jiannu and plundered to the outside of the pass. The dignified Prince of the Ming Dynasty, enjoying the glory and wealth given by the imperial court, when the city was broken, he didn't even have the courage to commit suicide and martyrdom, and he secretly lived as a prisoner of Jiannu, which made Zhu Youzhen very disappointed in Zhu Youshu. What is the use of keeping such a vassal king?

"Excuse me." Looking at King De and the clans kneeling at his feet, as well as many Jinan officials, Zhu Youzhen said lightly.

"Yes." King De stood up, his heart full of trepidation.

Zhu Youlan went to Beijing to sue the royal court, and Zhu Youshu, the king of Germany, knew about it, and sent someone to intercept it but did not stop it, and then sent someone to Beijing to inquire about the movement, and then the court has not moved, and Zhu Youshu was relieved. Now the emperor suddenly turned from the southern tour to Jinan, and took such a sudden way, which made Zhu Youshu a little uneasy, he was very worried that the emperor came because of Zhu Youlan's complaint.

"Your Majesty, before the younger brother left the city, he had ordered to vacate the palace urgently, please rest in the younger brother's mansion." Zhu Youshu said with a smile on his face.

The emperor came suddenly, there was no time to vacate a place to take over, in the city of Jinan, the most suitable place for the emperor to live is the palace, and this is just outside the city when he gathered to pick up the car, the governor Shen Xun proposed, and the other ministers of Jinan agreed. You can't let the king live in the palace, but let the emperor live in the inn. Although the governor's yamen is also qualified to take over, it is too simple compared to the Dewang Mansion.

In this regard, Zhu Youshu is reluctant, who wants others to live in their own homes, even if the other party is the emperor, and it is clearly the emperor who is not good.

But no matter how reluctant he was, he had no reason to refuse, so he could only take the initiative.

"I'm tired." Zhu Youzhen nodded slightly, re-entered the imperial palace, and walked towards the city gate surrounded by the Praetorian Guards.

"Shen Futai, why did you say Your Majesty suddenly came to Jinan?" Looking at the distant royal court, King De asked Shen Xun who was standing behind him in a low voice.

Shen Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The prince doesn't know, how can the lower officials know about it......"

Shen Xun didn't lie, he really didn't know. It was really Zhu Youzhen who came too suddenly, marched too fast, and did not notify the place at all.

To be honest, Shen Xun is now more panicked than King De. The sudden arrival of the emperor must have been something that had happened, and it was definitely not a good thing for the magistrates!

In fact, not only Shen Xun, but also the political envoys, the envoys, the Jinan prefect and other officials were very confused, and their feelings were extremely complicated.

A group of officials followed the royal car into the city, the city gate, the street leading to the Dewang Mansion, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, all of which were Praetorian Guards standing guard.

Entering the palace, Zhu Youshu was shocked to find that the palace was jumping, and the eunuchs, palace maids, and even his concubines and children were driven out of the palace by the guards and driven to the miscellaneous courtyard where the servants lived next to them.

"This, this..." Zhu Youshu's lips trembled.

The prince was calm. When His Majesty comes, the place where he stays will be cleared. Shen Xun said in a low voice.

Zhu Youshu took a deep breath, beckoned to the palace steward, and ordered the people in the palace to temporarily go to other places to settle. The Dewangfu has been entrenched in Jinan for more than 100 years, and there are many industries inside and outside the city, so it is still easy to find a place to settle hundreds of people.

In the main hall of the palace, Zhu Youzhen sat in the original position of King De, quietly looking at the Jinan officials who rushed in.

A group of officials were on the left, and the kings and generals of the clan were on the right, and they all bowed to the emperor at the same time.

"You must wonder why I suddenly came to Jinan, right? It's because when I was patrolling to Texas in the south, someone stopped me and sued the emperor. Zhu Youzhen said directly.

King Zhu Youshu's heart suddenly sudden, and Shen Xun and other senior officials also looked nervous. Someone stopped the royal complaint, and the emperor suddenly came to Jinan, and the matter involved in the imperial complaint must be very big!

"Bring it on!" Wang Chengen walked out and shouted at the outside.

As soon as the words fell, several brocade guards escorted two people into the main hall, it was Zhu Youlan and Zhu Changgou.

"Stand up, in front of the officials in Shandong, and tell you about your complaint again." Zhu Youzhen said in a deep voice.

"Zhu Youlan, the lieutenant of Fengguo, sued King De for six major crimes! The first is greedy and shameless, and the deduction of the clan's rice has caused many clan members to die of starvation, and the second is ....."

Zhu Youlan's voice spread in the hall, and the officials in the hall looked at each other, but they didn't expect the emperor to come to Jinan because someone had sued King De! This kind of thing only needs to be verified by the imperial court sent by the imperial historian to the local government, after all, although the status of the king of Germany is respected, he is just a vassal king without power, where is the need for the emperor to come over in person?

However, in the eyes of an official like Shen Xun, I am afraid that things will not be so simple, maybe the emperor has other plans. After all, in their eyes, Zhu Youzhen is a generation of heroes who expelled Jiannu to recover Liaodong and seize Monan, and he is a saint who has far surpassed the previous emperors in terms of merits! How could such an emperor come in person because of a trivial matter?

When they heard the back, the faces of many officials had already changed, because in Zhu Youlan's impeachment, there was a crime of impeaching King De for colluding with the local government, which was referring to these people.

Listening to Zhu Youlan's voice of impeachment, King Zhu Youshu's body trembled like chaff, most of these charges are true, and he did it, but many things are not as Zhu Youlan said.

For example, the matter of deducting the rice of the clan did not start with himself, this is what the kings of all generations have done.

From the establishment of the German domain to the present, more than 170 years have passed, and the German domain has been passed down for six generations, and each generation of the German king has given birth to many children, and now the number of the entire German clan alone has reached 1,000 people, and many clans have been far away from the German king Zhu Youshu, and Zhu Youshu has long not regarded them as relatives. According to the usual practice, the rice given to the clan is distributed by King De, and it is normal for him not to take the opportunity to deduct millions of stones of rice from his hands every year.

Another example is the malicious annexation of fields, not to mention starting with oneself, he has only been the king of Germany for a few years, how many fields can he occupy?

Another example is the private banknote customs, which was done by the previous Dai Dewang, and after the establishment of the tax department, the banknote customs on the canal have been removed.

Another example is the brutal murder, the dignified Ming vassal king, what is it to kill a few Diao slaves?

As for robbing the wife of the clan, this thing was indeed done by himself, but how did I hear that the woman was just a concubine.

Among these crimes, the most speechless thing for Zhu Youshu is to secretly assign the land to the Yansheng Mansion, which is indeed done by himself, but he can't help it, millions of acres of land are handed over in vain, and he has to make up for the taxes owed over the years, and no one is willing to change it!

The more he thought about it, the more Zhu Youshu felt aggrieved, although he was a dignified prince of the Ming Dynasty, although he had done some excessive things, could he use the upper platform, and the emperor You came to Jinan Mansion to ask about this matter in person? I did these things, which of the dozens of princes of the Ming Dynasty has not done it?

"What do you say, King De?" Zhu Youzhen asked lightly.

"Brother is wronged!" Zhu Youshu knelt down and said sadly, "Things are not what he said, this Zhu Youlan is a Diao people, trying to slander the vassal king for benefits, Your Majesty, don't believe them!" That Zhu Changgou said that I robbed his wife, there was nothing at all, that woman was not his wife, but a fireworks woman he bought from the Qinglou....."

Zhu Youzhen suddenly interrupted him: "So, is it true that you robbed a woman?" ”

Zhu Youshu opened his mouth, and could only admit: "Yes, the younger brother robbed it, but the woman ......."

"Whether it is a wife or a concubine, Zhu Changgou is your cousin in terms of seniority, and if you rob your cousin's woman, it is against human ethics!" Zhu Youzhen said in disgust, "Don't say it again, I will investigate these things of yours one by one." Someone comes, take King De down first. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Wenbing, the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards who was waiting beside him, waved his hand, and the two Jinyi guards came over, picked up Zhu Youshu and left.

"Your Majesty, the younger brother is wronged, the younger brother is wronged......" Zhu Youshu struggled and was dragged out.

In the hall, all the officials were silent. The dignified King was arrested and questioned because of two ordinary clan complaints, which made them not frightened.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have heard about many illegal things of the vassal royal family, and I didn't want to pay attention to the royal family affection. However, many vassal kings have become more and more excessive, the former Fu Wang Uncle gathered troops to rebel, and the latter had many sins, and other vassal kings abused the people and violated the law. I've often wondered, what the hell is going on?

Hundreds of people toiled all day long and could not eat, and the clans relied on the shadow of their ancestors to eat without work; In the year of the natural disaster, hundreds of people begged for food everywhere, but the princes of the feudal domains were still extravagant in the wine pond and meat forest; The annual tax revenue of the imperial court is only three million taels of silver and four million stone grains, but tens of millions of stone rice are needed every year to support the clan!

These hundreds of thousands of clans cost so much that they overwhelmed the people of the world, but the clans of the vassal kings relied on the royal bloodline, and did not think about the grace of the people's offerings, but unscrupulously oppressed the people, such as maggots attached to the bones, like bloodthirsty leeches, and they were willing to stop until they knocked the people of the world out of their bones and sucked the marrow!

In the world, how can there be such a reason?

However, after investigating, I found that this was not exactly the case, and there were rich and poor people in the clan. The vassal kings and county kings were extremely poor and luxurious, and many ordinary clans were repeatedly oppressed and deprived so that they had no food and clothing, and there were many beggars along the streets. The dignified clan, the descendants of the Taizu, mixed into the situation of begging along the street, doesn't it make people sigh?

I knew that there was a problem with the clan system, something went wrong, it had become a cancer, and it had become a mountain that crushed the Ming Dynasty!

So I tried to restructure it, to try to change that. Trying to reduce the burden of the people in the world, trying to make ordinary clans live a better life.

Therefore, at the beginning of my accession to the throne, in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, I decreed the reform of the clan system, but nearly four years have passed, but there has been little improvement.

The system established by me was violated by yin and yang, and the vassal kings used various means to hide the annexed Wang Tian in the name of the gentry in order to escape the investigation of the imperial court.

The lives of ordinary clans have not improved much, and many ordinary clans are still hungry and cold.

Why is this happening? Why is my decree not followed? Ladies and gentlemen, you are all local leaders, can anyone tell me why? ”

Zhu Youzhen's eyes looked at the officials in the palace like electricity, and these officials were all nervous.

"Shen Xun, the governor of Shandong, I heard that you have always been an honest official, you came to tell me, why is this happening?" Zhu Youzhen was named.

Shen Xun had to stand up and replied: "Maybe it's 'greed'. ”

"Well answered, it is greed." Zhu Youzhen clapped his hands and said, "The vassal kings are greedy, so they don't care about the court and the people; The gentry were greedy, so they encroached on the official land and helped hide the land of the vassal king, and the officials were greedy, and turned a blind eye to all this for the sake of silver, and even added fuel to the fire! ”

"The ministers are guilty." The officials had to kneel on the ground.

"You may be guilty, you may not be guilty. But in my opinion, there are not many people who can regard the people as their own people and can care about the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youzhen said lightly.

"You don't treat the country as the country, and you don't treat the people as the people, but I can't do that, because I am the son of the great tomorrow. If one day this Ming Dynasty dies, many of you will become courtiers of the new dynasty, but I have only one way to die for the country! Zhu You said in his heart.

"The ministers are afraid, the ministers don't dare!" The officials present were frightened and said one after another.

"Since the reform of the clan and feudal system formulated earlier cannot be carried out, I will implement it myself. This Shandong was used as a pilot, and the German domain was used as a pilot to carry out the reform of the clan and domain. After the reform of the Shandong German Domain, it will be extended to other provinces and the provincial clan will be restructured.

King De was tyrannical and greedy, committed many crimes, and was interrogated by Jinyiwei, and once it was verified, he was questioned according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. If you and other local officials collude with the German Domain, detain Lumi, or do tricks on Wang Tian, if they turn themselves in, I will be punished lightly, otherwise once they are found, they will be severely punished! ”

Zhu Youzhen did not hesitate to reveal his true intentions, and said murderously.
