Chapter 1581 The Burden of the Clan Is Thrown Away
I don't believe that you really dare to come, do you really have the guts to face Emperor Taizu Gao? If Emperor Taizu Gao knew what you were doing, how would he react? Didn't see the sacrifices you sent up, people don't care?
Even if someone really dares to come over, Shen Long is not worried or afraid. It is a long way from the various vassal residences to Jinling. I don't know how many civil servants will pass through the road. Now these civil servants are looking forward to your downfall, and they are still divided What about the benefits of Run, can they watch you arrive in Jinling safely? Isn't that overestimating the integrity of Ming officials?
Let’s not talk about what to do with these vassal kings’ food, clothing, housing, and transportation. This method is too rough, and the civil servants probably don’t bother to use it; They are used to being domineering on their own territory, and they will definitely not behave well once they are on the road.
At that time, there will be a scene of trampling on the farmland, and the servants of the royal family bullying the local people. The civil servants will immediately appear in the face of the Qingtian Lord, and they will come up with the Ming Law to demand that the servants who break the law be severely punished. How many more things like this will happen? Once again, it is estimated that the entourage of the feudal king should also run away. Those who are imprisoned will be imprisoned. There are not many left. How can you come to Jinling at that time?
Even if it is really tough, overcoming many obstacles and coming to Jinling, before the spirit of Emperor Taizu Gao, would Shen Long have no choice? Obviously not, if someone really had such a stubborn head, believe it or not, Shen Long would strike him to death with a thunderbolt! At that time, the crime of unfilial piety in this branch will be completely confirmed!
If you were not unfilial, why did Emperor Taizu Gao send down thunder to punish you? Hey, it's not that these vassal kings have no cards to play, if you want to blame them, blame them for being forced! In front of the traversers who have been hung up, their previous methods are useless.
In the past, these vassal kings might use benevolence and filial piety to silence the emperor, but now that Shen Long has made a miracle of the Taizu's manifestation, this method must not work; in the past, they could threaten to cry at the imperial mausoleum, but now, As long as they dare to come, a few thunderbolts will directly kill them, who dares to jump?
Shen Long has already made up his mind, to see who comes first, he will be cut to pieces, as long as there is a vassal king who ends up like this, he really does not believe that there will be people who will continue to fight, people will cherish themselves after all Fate, maybe you can continue to live if the king is gone, but if you are struck by lightning, you will have nothing, and you will be notorious through the ages.
"Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty has always governed the country with benevolence and filial piety. Such unkind and unfilial people can even tamper with the sacrifices offered to the ancestors. What else can't they do? I ask Your Majesty to cut down these unfilial people! "Hearing that the emissary of the vassal king dared to refute, my civil servant in Ming Dynasty was completely angry!"
Don't you still understand the situation? This is because Emperor Taizu Gao is dissatisfied with you, there is nothing you can do to save you; there is the destiny of Emperor Taizu Gao, and the evidence we have found below, your prince has been completely crucified.
"Your Majesty, I impeach King Fu for being too greedy and treating the people under his rule harshly..." Seeing that there were still people who wanted to speak, the civil servants were completely annoyed, and some people immediately began to impeach the vassal king for illegal things.
"Your Majesty, when I was the magistrate of Datong Mansion, I also heard that the Dai Wang colluded with merchants for profit. The Dai Wang Mansion even blatantly violated the court's laws and exported ironware to the grassland. This may be a conspiracy!"
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching the king of Shu for robbing the people and messing up the palace...I am impeaching the king of Qi for accepting his father and concubines, which is against the norms..." A pot of pot was quickly thrown at each vassal. These black materials have long been hidden. In the hearts of the civil servants, I didn't expect that it would come in handy at this time, and the envoys of the vassal kings immediately turned pale when they were accused of one crime after another.
There were even civil servants inspecting the sacrificial offerings, taking advantage of the chaos in the venue, to secretly remove one or two of the sacrificial offerings that were still on the altar. It's fat and oily, if you pull off one more, that's the benefit of saving hundreds of thousands of taels.
Of course, it’s not that they are still calm. For example, the envoy of Prince Lu saw that the sacrifices offered by his prince were still placed on the altar; but for some reason, he suddenly recalled that when His Majesty passed by Yanzhou, he said to the prince From those words, maybe it is because of this that my prince's sacrifice is still intact, right?
If the prince hadn't expressed it at the beginning, it probably wouldn't be like this! He didn't doubt Shen Long's head, and he didn't have the guts. He just regarded it as Emperor Taizu Gao saw his prince's love for the people, so he was relatively satisfied with King Lu, so he didn't blow the sacrifice of King Lu. Taste it!
"Your impeachment is engraved with falsehood?" Shen Long asked coldly, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he laughed angrily, "Haha, this is my clan of Ming Dynasty! Emperor Gao, the great ancestor, always loved the people like his own son , They dare to do this, no wonder Emperor Taizu Gao got angry because of this, Emperor Gao must be completely disappointed in them!"
"Your Majesty is holy!" Self-righteous, Shen Long listened to his advice, and all the ministers were immediately elated. Now the clan of Daming is probably going to kneel down a lot. I have to think about it quickly. My hometown has something to do with that vassal king. Are there any problems with these vassal kings? Can they also bring down their family?
"Your Majesty, since Emperor Taizu Gao has issued a warning, please Your Majesty quickly investigate and deal with these vassal kings, so that we can explain to Emperor Taizu Gao!" The king was completely crucified.
"Come here! Order the officials of the vassal princes to investigate their crimes strictly and not hide anything!" Shen Long immediately issued an order, "Order Jinyiwei and Dongchang to cooperate in the investigation!"
What do you think, I still don't know? Isn't it because of the wealth and land of those princes? How could it be cheaper for you? Did I make such a big commotion because I did something good for you? I have to take the lead!
At that time, all the clans whose offerings were unqualified will be removed from their ranks, and the land under their names will be taken back and distributed to the people, teaching them to grow new high-yield crops.
As for those clans that were delisted, they were only given a small amount of expenses to maintain their basic living expenses, and the money was paid out of the palace's savings over the years. In this way, Daming's financial burden would be greatly reduced, right? The extra money can be used for Ming's political reform and external expansion.
Of course, all of this will take time, but at least from now on, Shen Long finally sees the hope of getting rid of the huge burden of the Ming clan.
