"You think so, but some vassal kings don't think so. It just goes with the popular saying, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse!"
King Fu shook his head gently: "I have done everything I should do, just let fate take its course!"
After hearing what King Fu said, King Qin smiled and said, "I'm afraid you are wishful thinking and others won't appreciate it, especially King Duan."
"If they want to die, I can't control them. The Ming Dynasty is so big, why are they afraid that there will be no place to bury them?"
"When will Brother Wang go to see His Majesty?"
"I will go whenever His Majesty calls you!"
"What if you never declare your calling?"
"Then I'll just wander around the capital. There's nothing to do anyway. I'll be trapped in the house when I return to Luoyang. It's not as fun as outside.
Even if you die, you've had enough fun, right? "
"Brother Wang is really good at... concentration!"
"If you can't change, then just stay the same to cope with the changes. Okay, after a long journey, go take a hot bath and have a comfortable sleep!"
After King Fu finished speaking, he opened the curtain and walked toward his courtyard with three steps.
King Qin could not see through the entire Ming Dynasty's situation, but he could see it very clearly.
The emperor is delaying or waiting, but the lord is not in a hurry. Why is he in a hurry?
In the days that followed, the people of the capital were also surprised to find that there was a middle-aged man next to the prince who usually wandered the streets and alleys. It was not difficult to guess that he was Prince Fu.
The two of them were hanging out, and the emperor didn't summon them, which left countless people confused.
After several months of this, on the day before the winter solstice, Wang Chengen entered the Tenth Prince's Mansion with four young eunuchs, escorted by a team of royal guards.
In just a moment, Prince Fu, wearing a yellow brocade robe with four claws and a dragon pattern, entered the Ancestral Temple next to the Meridian Gate under the escort of the brocade guards.
What kind of place is the Ancestral Temple? A place where royals worship their ancestors!
What do you want to do when you summon King Fu at the Ancestral Temple?
The King of Qin was also summoned at the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and when he came out he was imprisoned... and imprisoned in Beijing.
Could it be that King Fu, who is His Majesty's biological uncle, could not escape such an ending?
For a moment, everyone in Beijing turned their attention to the Ancestral Temple.
"Your Majesty, King Fu Zhu Changxun is here to see you!"
After entering the Ancestral Temple, Zhu Changxun saluted immediately after seeing Chongzhen who was lighting incense, with an extremely respectful expression.
Chongzhen shook the standing incense that was still burning with flames. The flame went out and green smoke rose. Then he turned to look at King Fu and handed over the standing incense in his hand: "Let's put on the incense first!"
King Fu respectfully took the incense and began to worship.
Chongzhen on one side looked at King Fu. King Fu, who was already in his forties, had a well-proportioned figure and a fair face, but he was not as pale as after drinking and drinking.
Looking at it this way, King Fu is still extremely self-disciplined.
It is far from the more than 300 kilograms recorded in some unofficial records in history.
After King Fu finished his worship, he turned around and looked at Chongzhen quietly, and Chongzhen also looked at King Fu quietly.
Although his impression of King Fu was a little blurry, the feeling of blood connection was truly felt at this moment.
Then his face darkened and he said coldly: "Zhu Changxun, without seeing the imperial edict or the golden talisman, he went to Beijing privately with great fanfare. Do you really think that I dare not kill you?"
"His Majesty has already done so. Why wait until now?"
Prince Fu showed no fear on his face and said calmly: "Didn't I just help His Majesty by coming to Beijing?"
"Help me? Aren't you doing yourself a favor?"
"Let's put it another way, win-win!"
"Aren't you afraid that if you guess wrong, I'll just kill you?"
"I am more useful alive than dead. Your Majesty may kill me, but definitely not now!"
After King Fu finished speaking, he looked around, suddenly stood up straight, and looked at Chongzhen wildly.
"I hugged your majesty when he was a child, and he has grown so big in the blink of an eye! Time flies so fast, it has been fifteen years since we last parted."
Hearing King Fu's sudden turn of events, Chongzhen's mouth twitched. He never expected that King Fu would make such a turn!
Chongzhen didn't bother to dwell on this, but asked instead: "Uncle Emperor, what do you think of the current situation in Ming Dynasty?"
King Fu was stunned by the emperor's sudden change of words, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
This sentence of "uncle emperor" contains too much information.
"It can only be said that it is not bad, but there are still many problems to be solved. The foreign enemies include the Mongolian tribes, Jiannu, Fusang, the West and other countries.
He suffers from Jiangnan gentry, wealthy merchants, military affairs, officialdom, clans and natural disasters!
Amid internal and external troubles, the most important thing you should solve is the clan issue. "
King Fu walked to the door of Fengtian Hall with his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky: "Among the foreign enemies, after the Jiannu coalition forces were surrounded and killed, there were the Great Wall defense line and several border town generals appointed by you personally. There was no big threat in a short period of time." .
Amid internal worries, military and political affairs cannot be accomplished in a day, and the officialdom also has no fish until the water is clear.
Even when Taizu raised the butcher's knife, there was still corruption and perversion of the law, and there was still great greed, and party strife could not be quelled at any time;
The interests of the Jiangnan gentry, wealthy merchants and the officialdom are complicated. They bear half of the taxes of the Ming Dynasty and control the economic lifeline of the Ming Dynasty. They must not be touched lightly, let alone messed up!
Natural disasters are unpredictable, so in the end only the clan is left. The people are disgusted and dare not speak out in anger. There are many children, the consumption is huge, and taxes from various places are withheld.
The existence of the clan is related to His Majesty's new policy, and His Majesty cannot slowly cut the flesh with a blunt knife.
First of all, His Majesty is restoring the land to the people in the two Shaanxi provinces. It is only a matter of time that the concentrated public opinion will eventually attack the feudal princes.
They either sit back and wait for death, or they take the initiative to show their kindness and contribute all their family property just like the king on behalf of the king, and from then on they become idle princes in Beijing.
Secondly, they want money to have money, food to have food, and fields to have fields... The most important thing is that they may be instigated by foreign enemies at any time, so your Majesty must seize the time, otherwise it will be a rebellion among the feudal lords.
Even though I went to Beijing to confuse the feudal king and gave them a signal that the court would not deal with the feudal king without reason, it still wouldn't be stable for long.
When news of Shaanxi's return of land to the people spreads, if not enough farmland is released, people in other places will cause trouble.
Under the instigation of thoughtful people, the entire Ming Dynasty will be in chaos.
Even if it can recover, it will take several years, which gives foreign enemies a chance to recuperate.
Among the gentry, wealthy merchants, and clans, only the fields in the hands of clans are the easiest to release, and they are found all over the country. As long as the people see that the court is moving, it is enough to appease them.
So far, you can only choose one thing between the clan and the people of the world! "
"Then how do you solve it?"
"This is your Majesty's business. I dare not make any assumptions!"
Chongzhen glared at Prince Fu angrily. Now he knows the way of a monarch and his ministers? Wasn't it exciting just now?
"What if I have to let you say it?"
