Mentioning the King of Song, who was probably the mother with the highest status among the princes besides the sons from the Zhonggong, Jia Quan looked disdainful: "This King of Song didn't even let the Zhonggong and the prince go. Under the influence of his mother's education, Yang's character is extremely domineering, and he is the first among all kings to be mean and greedy."
"Quan once had a relationship with this King of Song. His real ability is far from that of the prince, let alone the disciples from the middle palace. However, this King of Song thinks very highly of himself. He thinks that today The most powerful among the princes. The reason why he lost to the prince was not because he was inferior in ability, but because he was born too late."
"In addition to his mother's instigation, although he served the prince very well on the surface, he wanted to overthrow the prince. Quan's old friend's evaluation of this man's ambition and talent was a little harsh, but Quan thought it was fair. Exactly as it is. In some respects, Quan even thinks that his old friend really elevated the King of Song."
"The other kings are not that good either. They are either greedy or cowardly. As for King Yong, although it is said that he is eager for justice and can be called a chivalrous king, in Quan's view, it is just an exaggeration. Quan sold himself out in the first place, and Yong Wang Even if the king saw it with his own eyes, he would just laugh it off. The king of knights, too, is nothing more than that."
"Besides, King Yong chose to protect himself by desecrating himself. Although he could gain a life of peace, he also completely lost the possibility of succeeding to the throne. Your Majesty, Quan didn't mean anything by saying this. I just wanted to tell you, These brothers of yours may be good hands when fighting for power. But when it comes to governing the world and guarding the ministers, none of them is the right one."
"The current general trend of the world is like what Quan said, it is like putting it on dry firewood. Just a small spark will cause a huge fire in the sky. Land annexation has not happened in the past dynasties, but it is as serious as this dynasty. Only the later Han Dynasty can compare with it. Once there is a natural or man-made disaster, if Zhang Jiao, Li Mi and his like ascend to the top and make a cry, war will immediately spread all over the land."
Jia Quan's words clearly told Huang Qiong that with the strength of his connections in the capital, he once again pointed out that the current world situation was not as good as Huang Qiong imagined. However, what made Jia Quan a little disappointed was that after Huang Qiong heard his long speech, he just said calmly: "I'm afraid you are tired from keeping watch these days. Go down and rest first."
"The days are going to be long in the future, not just today. Since you don't have to keep your filial piety for the time being, the palace is currently short of an accountant. During this time, I would like to express my displeasure to you, sir, and take care of the accounts of the palace first. We will discuss other matters later. If you have any questions, sir If you need it, you can use the money first, and you can just report it afterwards."
After that, Huang Qiong ignored Jia Quan's thoughts after hearing his answer. He just called Li Hai into his study and asked him to arrange for Jia Quan to rest first. Seeing that Huang Qiong didn't want to continue the conversation and wanted to say something else, Jia Quan could only swallow the rest of his words and follow Li Hai to rest first.
Jia Quan, who still had some unfinished thoughts, actually didn't know that when he left, Huang Qiong's eyes followed him out of the inner courtyard where the study was located. And the string of cold jade beads in Huang Qiong's hand was turned even faster by him. Huang Qiong didn't take Jia Quan's comments about the kings too seriously.
In fact, for Huang Qiong, it still takes time to verify whether Jia Quan's comments about his brothers are correct. But regarding what Jia Quan said about the current general trend of the world, Huang Qiong believed that although it was a bit extreme, it was not too much. When Huang Qiong and her mother went out to practice martial arts before, they already had some understanding of this aspect, but it was just so deep.
After meeting Jia Quan, what Huang Qiong saw on the way to the small inn where he was staying in the outer city gave Huang Qiong a shocking feeling. Compared with the neat and prosperous inner city, the outer city near the city wall is full of simple shacks built by immigrants. Those small shacks made of branches or even thatch are where these refugee families live.
The outer city and the inner city are only separated by a city wall, but they give people the feeling of two different worlds. Compared with the deep houses and compounds everywhere in the inner city, the places where homeless people live in the outer city are littered with rubbish, sewage flowing across the ground, and the stench fills the sky. There are half-clothed people everywhere, either begging or gathering in groups. Standing under a wall, waiting for the few employers to come.
Almost less than a thousand steps away, there was a simple human market. The young men and women among the refugees were picked on like animals. At that time, I heard from Jia Quan that these were just some of the many refugees inside and outside the capital who had lost their land and thought that they could find a way to survive for their families by coming to the capital, the best place under the emperor's feet.
More refugees trying to come to the capital to survive are unable to enter the capital due to government restrictions and can only build simple shacks outside the city. There have been no less than 50,000 to 60,000 refugees in the entire capital city and beyond in the past two years. The fireworks at the Chengbei Human Rights Center to burn the refugees who died of illness or starved to death have never stopped in the past two years.
The old has not gone, the new has arrived. Although the government repeatedly provided him with food and money to send him back to his hometown, and limited the number of refugees who entered the inner city to work every day, they still could not control the flow of refugees to the capital. For these refugees who have lost their land, they have only two options to leave the capital.
Either go back and continue to bear the high land rent that you cannot afford, or go to other places and continue to be refugees. These two options are not good choices for those refugees. What Jia Quan said is not wrong. Once someone like Chen Sheng or Wu Guang rises to the top and raises his voice, I am afraid that the world will soon be filled with war.
But does my emperor really not know about these circumstances? My mother once said that since the founding of Daqi, there have been two towns, Fusi, in the north and the south. The Fusi of Beizhen was responsible for spying on neighboring countries such as Northern Liao, Uighur, Tubo, and Dali, as well as the Qiang in the Western Regions. As for Nanzhen Fusi, it was dedicated to internal affairs and was used to secretly supervise courtiers, spy on people's feelings, and hunt down the remnants of the former Tang Dynasty.
Compared with the North Town Fusi, which focuses on foreign affairs, the South Town Fusi is larger in scale and its actions are more secretive. An inconspicuous scribe in the Ministry of Rites, the steward of an important minister in the court, a master next to Zhizhou, or even a young captain in the army could all be from Nanzhen Fusi.
Although this Nanzhen Fusi has surveillance offices in various places and semi-public yamen that assist local governments in detecting and solving cases, it also has free commanders in the capital. But everyone knows that it is just superficial. The real secrets cannot be seen by outsiders at all.
My grandfather, who almost succeeded in usurping the throne, had to go through great efforts to find out the spies placed by Nanzhen Fusi before he deposed the emperor. It was because Nanzhen Fusi was placed in the Huaiyang County Prince's Mansion that the spy made his own mistake and was lucky enough to be discovered and caught the clue.
Although this secret yamen was purged many times by his grandfather, which greatly damaged his vitality. But even so, he could not finally use it for his own use. He even played a role that ordinary officials could not play when he regained his power.
The most direct relative of my grandfather, a confidant who tried to replace him after his death, was secretly eliminated by someone placed around him by Nanzhen Fusi. With such a secret that can be said to be from the Ming Dynasty imperial guard hundreds of years later, can the general trend of the world really be hidden from the old man?
I'm afraid only those who are short-sighted will believe this. But as a father, he still did nothing in the end? Could it be that the main reason for these situations was that his brothers, nephews, or the so-called capable officials in his No. 1 Middle School were too cautious in making adjustments? Huang Qiong still doesn't know if there are any other reasons.
But one thing Huang Qiong knows is that if this situation is not contained to a certain extent, the world may be in chaos soon. Although there are emperors and princes above and hundreds of civil and military officials below, it is not their turn to make the decision. After which dynasty in the past dynasties fell, would the clan have a good outcome?
Far away, only I know about the Ming Dynasty now. After the fall of the country, those princes and princes, large and small, would basically die if the rebels caught them. Later, the foreign rulers pursued and killed them for hundreds of years. After three hundred years of thriving and flourishing, the hundreds of thousands of flourishing clans were almost wiped out.
Even after he has been in control of the Central Plains for decades and his rule has become stable, he has not shown any mercy. No matter you are a white-haired old man who relies on crutches to walk, or a baby who is learning to talk, once you are found out, you will be executed by everyone, even to the point of implicating nine ethnic groups.
And in the dynasty that I know now, not to mention the fate of those clans in the recent Tang Dynasty after the country was destroyed, how many of them could survive? After the king of Guilin captured Chengdu, he captured dozens of princes, princes, and even clan members from the former Tang Dynasty. Two to three hundred people, old and young, were on their way back north together and were massacred before leaving Sichuan. Langzhou.
Not only the princesses and princesses were not spared from death, but even their princes and princes were not spared, and even the infants who were several months old were not spared. It was really a thorough eradication. If the world really reaches that point, Huang Qiong, who has been familiar with history books for two generations, really can't imagine that he will be alone. Never forget your past life and be a teacher for future generations. Those lessons are not ordinary bloody ones.
But even though Huang Qiong was a little worried, Huang Qiong knew that he had no way to solve this matter, and he didn't even have a chance to express his opinions. This dynasty has stipulated that princes and kings are not allowed to interfere in politics unless they are ordered to do so. Those who violate the rules and talk about government affairs will be punished with a fine or the loss of Yongye land, or in serious cases, they will be abolished and banned from the title.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong sighed slightly as he looked at the eunuchs and maids standing outside the window, waiting for summons at any time. Apart from the old man's people, the people around him are also the prince's people. Not to mention governing the country and bringing peace to the world, now we can't even cultivate ourselves and manage our families. It is not the turn of a little prince like me to worry about the general trend of the world.
What he needs to face now is the attitude of the son who he still cannot see. He is very unfamiliar with him. He is his biological son, but he is probably the son of his biggest opponent. But one thing is for sure, he is definitely not the carefree emperor he appears to be.
There was also the prince who, although he had hidden it very well, had shown unusual hostility towards him. How can I break this dense web that is woven around me and monitors my every move? If this net cannot be broken, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to even get out of the palace gate.
