Chapter 173 (Just asking if you are moved...)

At first, those half-fathered kings continued their own blood. Up to now, many clans and relatives only share the same surname, and their kinship has long been weak.

when it comes to prestige, the 82-year-old King of Qin is the heaviest, and other kings vaguely regard him as an example of the king who entered Beijing this time.

in terms of kinship, the first generation of Heng Wang and Yi Wang were both great-great-uncles of Huayang's sister and brother. Only three generations apart, it is considered close. Today, the 32-year-old Xin Heng Wang is the uncle of the sister and brother, while the 38-year-old Yi Wang is actually the cousin of the sister and brother.

Emperor Yuanyou expressed special respect for the longevity of the King of Qin, and the other two preferred were King Heng and King Yi.

after greeting outside the city for half an hour, it was almost noon, and all the imperial relatives went to the palace for dinner.

at the palace banquet, Empress Dowager Qi and Emperor Yuanyou mother and son sat in the main seat, Huayang and Chen Jingzong sat in the lower left, and Nankang and Meng Yanqing sat in the lower right.

the six people all memorized their relationship with the kings of the clans, and no matter which king opened his mouth, they could accurately call the corresponding seniority.

shortly after the banquet began, Nankang suddenly turned red under his eyes. At first, he tried to put up with it, but gradually he could not hide it.

Meng Yanqing's heart hung up. Leaning his shoulder to try to stop his sobbing wife, Meng warned in a low voice, "what are you doing"

Nankang whispered, "I miss my brother."

Meng Yanqing is half cold. On such an occasion, does his wife want to kill her rebellious brother

but the more he tried to cover up for his wife, the louder the movement on his side, and the 21 kings looked over one after another.

Empress Dowager Qi could no longer pretend to turn a blind eye and said, "what happened to Nankang" But what's wrong with it "

Nankang hurriedly took his sleeves and wiped his eyes, got up with his head down, and said with a little choking, "my daughter is really not feeling well and spoiled her mother's elegant hospitality to all her relatives. I also ask her mother to forgive me."

Empress Dowager Qi said faintly, "since you are not feeling well, let's go down."

Meng Yanqing was the one who couldn't help the weak legs when he saw these vassal kings, and then took the opportunity to help the crying Nankang to retire.

Empress Dowager Qi smiled and looked at Cao Li.

Cao Li clapped his hands and motioned to the dancing singers to continue, string music together, and the atmosphere of the banquet was restored as usual.

the kings of the neighboring seats looked at each other, and their hearts were a little heavy.

Princess Nankang shed tears because she must have touched the scene and thought of her rebellious and abandoned brother, King Yu, but they are also clan kings, and they may also be targeted by the imperial court if they are not careful!

in the past few years, first the king of Xiang, then the eight kings of Henan, followed by the king of Jin last year, the 31 vassal kings have gone to 30%!

whether these kings wanted to die on their own, or whether the court made an example of killing chickens and monkeys, it was a gory precedent for them.

the banquet lasted for an hour. Some of the kings were drunk, while the older ones yawned and cheered up.

Emperor Yuan you told Chen Jingzong: "the luncheon is just to catch up on the past. The horse will send you to Beijing to have a rest, and we will discuss state affairs together at the dinner."

all the vassal kings salute.

Chen Jingzong sent them out of the palace, but there was not much to say in the palace. when they arrived in Beijing, these kings surrounded Chen Jingzong, hoping that Master Chun Ma would first reveal to them some information about what state affairs to discuss. Is it that the court is going to withdraw their vassal

Chen Jingzong held the white-haired king of Qin and said to the kings innocently, "I really don't know about this. I was in charge of the Wei office. Recently, I patronized and straightened out the relatives of our family. The eldest princess tested me every day, and if she made a mistake, I would be punished for running around. Once I was curious, I asked her why the emperor asked her clan to come to Beijing. As a result, I asked her, and the eldest princess sent me to my knees, blaming me for not talking about the imperial government!"

Kings:.

(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []). Ush ({});

although the prestige of the eldest princess has long spread all over the world, at least you are the son of the first wife. If the eldest princess doesn't tell you, you don't know to ask your father

someone tentatively mentioned Old Chen GE.

Chen Jingzong's face darkened, and then he lost the face of a king. He said grudgingly and kindly, "I have nothing to say to him. If anyone wants to see Old Chen GE, I can show you the way and take you to Chen Fu myself."

Kings:.

all the way to Beijing, the small magistrates everywhere dared not get too close, lest they should be accused of "colluding with the vassal king." Today, they dared to go to Chen Fu to see Chen Tingjian, and Chen Tingjian dared to kidnap them and give them to the imperial court!

"it's all right, please go back!"

Chen Jingzong left, and the people in the palace sent by Empress Dowager Qi and Emperor Yuanyou were watching, and it was difficult for all the kings to get together and go back to other courtyards to have a rest.

Chen Jingzong first went to the palace to do errands, because there was nothing to do with the couple at the palace banquet in the evening, so he picked up Huayang and went back to the Grand Duchy House.

when he arrived at Qifeng Hall, Huayang asked him about the performance of the kings of the clans.

Chen Jingzong: "there are a few old foxes, a few wine bags and rice bags, and some who can't see whether they are honest or not."

No matter how powerful the ancestors are, there is no guarantee that all their descendants will be dragons and phoenixes among people. Like the abandoned kings of Xiang and Yu, they are useless dudes in ordinary families, but they have an extra layer of vassal status, and the evil they commit because of greed for money and lust is far more serious than that of ordinary dudes.

that is to say, if the new policy is to be carried out in the palace this time, as long as the shrewd kings are persuaded, the rest of the wine bags and rice bags will naturally obey.

.

at dusk, 21 vassal kings entered the palace again.

this palace banquet was held at Palace of Heavenly Purity. The Empress Dowager Qi did not appear, and Emperor Yuanyou was accompanied by five cabinet elders.

there is no wine at the table, in case someone gets drunk and gets into trouble.

there was no wine, no singing and dancing, and it was not dark at the end of the dinner.

the people of the palace moved out of the table, and then a short table was placed in front of Emperor Yuanyou and all the vassal kings.

when the palace men retired, Shen GE and Lu GE took a stack of documents and distributed them to the kings of the vassals, each with two copies each.

Yuan Yuyou Emperor Zhengshi said: "this year, I want to implement two new policies to benefit the country and the people, which are related to whether our dynasty can restore the prosperity of Taizu and Chengzu. I dare not make a decision alone, so I invite all the vassal kings to come to Beijing for discussion and read them first."

all the vassal kings heard the words, exchanged glances, and picked up the documents in front of them one after another.

the two documents read "clan relatives and officials and gentry pay grain as a whole" and "pay for an acre of food" respectively.

some people look calm, some frown, some look pale, others look confused. Although they all know the words, they don't quite understand them. After all, these Wangye are also intelligent and stupid.

when everyone put down the paperwork, Chen Tingjian smiled and stood on the left side of Emperor Yuanyou, explaining his words succinctly.

the two vassal kings who finally understood immediately objected: "how can this be done when the old ancestors canonized the vassal kings, they made it clear that they would be exempted from all taxes and servitude. Their ancestors had kept the ancestral system for two hundred years. How could it be changed"

even wiser, he mentioned the officials and gentry all over the world and persuaded Emperor Yuanyou to think twice from the point of view of the officials and gentry instead of mentioning the payment of food by his relatives.

21 clan kings, 21 mouths, buzzing and talking in the temple.

he Qingxian suddenly reprimanded angrily, and Emperor Yuanyou, who was sitting upright, said to Chen Tingjian, "I told you that these circuitous reforms are useless. If you want to reform, change anything, and directly restore the ancestral system of his elders, the patriarchal system of the vassal emperor, the patriarchal clan, the plagiarist family, the clan and the clan are relegated to the common people. As for those corrupt officials who do not want to work for the people of the imperial court, there is no need to be polite and kill them all!"le relatives can visit Sun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but none of the male guests will be found.therefore, those subjects who want to have a relationship with Lord Shoufu are not to be distu...
