Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 340 Ouyang Dog Thief? No, no, this is my brother-in-law! ! (Please subscribe!!)

"Let's just get rid of all those feudal kings first!"

Lan Yu stood up and shouted.

Hearing this, Feng Sheng's face became a little ugly. He had just praised Lan Yu in his heart, but as soon as he finished praising Lan Yu, he immediately started to act recklessly again.

It seems that this blue jade is not worthy of praise.

"If your Majesty does this, we Huaixi children will face competition from the clan children in the future. This is indeed not a good thing!"

"It seems that our Majesty really doesn't trust us as much as before."

"Is it possible that your Majesty is actually preparing to deal with our Huaixi Party?"

"It's really possible. If we win the fight against the clan members, His Majesty will definitely think that our Huaixi Party is too strong, and then he can suppress our Huaixi Party from the beginning. If we lose, His Majesty will be able to defeat us without even taking action. Get rid of it, from the Zhejiang East Party and later the Prince Consort Party to the current clan, His Majesty has intentionally or unintentionally allowed our Huaixi Party to confront them, and he has balanced and profited from it!"

The more the Huaixi Party members discussed, the more frightening the conclusions they came to.

Although today's Huaixi Party is still the most powerful political force in the Ming Dynasty, even the Prince Consort Party and the East Zhejiang Party combined are far less powerful than the Huaixi Party, but they are still far from their peak!

You must know that when the Huaixi Party was at its peak, its real leader was the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. Chang Yuchun was still alive, and Xu Da and Tang He were still in the Huaixi Party. It can be said that the Huaixi Party was the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was the Huaixi Party. Western party!

However, as Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor and established the Ming Dynasty, the entire Huaixi Party began to decline. Zhu Yuanzhang became the leader of the world, not just the leader of the Huaixi Party. Chang Yuchun and other veterans fell, and Xu Da and Tang He left. Later, Li Shanchang resigned, and Hu Weiyong took over as prime minister. During the days when Hu Weiyong was prime minister, the Huaixi Party briefly dominated the government and the opposition!

But it is a pity that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang finally took action and Hu Weiyong was beheaded. I don't know how many officials related to Hu Weiyong were killed!

After a bloodbath, the Huaixi Party became extremely weak and could only rely on the support of Li Shanchang, who had come back from the party, to barely stabilize the situation. Now it is planning a bigger plan to completely defeat Ouyang Lun!

Originally everything was in order, but Zhu Yuanzhang's newly promulgated reform plan caught everyone in the Huaixi Party off guard.

"Everyone, be quiet! Listen to me!"

Feng Sheng said loudly.

"Although the rise of the clan children is very detrimental to us, it will take time after all. We can make preparations in advance and wait for the news from the Grand Master."

"We don't have to worry at all. As soon as this news comes out, those clan members will probably go crazy!"

After the words fell, everyone else in the Huaixi Party nodded.

"Your Majesty the Duke is right, we only need to make some preparations secretly, and we can leave the rest aside for the time being!"

"Recently, the clan members and Ouyang Lun have been fighting fiercely. We can sit back and watch the fight! No matter who wins or loses, there is no harm to us."

"Yes, I have heard that several vassal kings such as King Qin, King Zhou, and King Chu have already said that they are at odds with Ouyang Lun. Anyone who helps Ouyang Lun is their enemy. We can add more fuel to the fire. !”

"Haha, what a great idea!"

"If I'm to blame, it's because Ouyang Lun is too arrogant. He can come up with such radical strategies and doesn't know whether to live or die!"

"He is probably imitating Shang Yang's reform. Even if he succeeds in the end, the end will definitely not be that good."

"I think he was imitating Chao's fault, and the vassal king failed to cut it, and in the end he ended up risking his own life, haha!"

In the palace of King Qin.

The feudal kings gathered together.

The leader, King Zhu Fang of Qin, King Zhu Ji of Zhou, and King Zhu Zhen of Chu, were all there.

"Aren't the fourth and twelfth ones here?" King Qin Zhu Xi glanced at the vassal kings present and asked in a deep voice.

"Second brother, not only the fourth brother and the twelfth brother didn't come, but even the third brother didn't come." Chu King Zhu Zhen muttered.

"I have asked people to invite the second brother, third brother, fourth brother and twelfth brother. The reply given by the third brother is that he is currently imprisoned in the clan's mansion to think about his past, and it is not convenient to come." Zhou Wang Zhu Ju He spoke.

"What about the fourth and twelfth sons? Is it possible that they have no interest in their own interests? Or are they afraid of Ouyang Lun and dare not confront Ouyang Lun?" Qin King Zhu Xi said solemnly.

"Second brother, let's not count on fourth brother and twelfth brother. I saw it that day at the clan mansion. They had already been mixed up with Ouyang Lun and were willing to be at the mercy of Ouyang Lun! Look at how close they were at that time It looks like someone who didn’t know better would have thought they were brothers!” King Zhu Zhen of Chu said in a strange tone.

Hearing this, Qin King Zhu Ping's face became even more ugly.

"Since they don't want to come, I won't force them. If we succeed in the future, they won't be able to take advantage of us!"

"I've called you all together today just to discuss the reform of the clan with you."

"Last time we went to the Zongren Mansion, although there was no actual gain, we still forced Ouyang Lun to submit a plan to his father. After that, his father also issued an imperial edict, asking Ouyang Lun to solve the problem within three days. Now that three days have passed, Ouyang Lun Lun still hasn’t come up with a solution, now it’s our turn!”

A cold light flashed in the eyes of Qin King Zhu Xi, "I plan to go directly to the palace, learn from the censor's advice, kneel directly outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and ask my father to severely punish Ouyang Lun! Brothers, are you willing to go with me!"

"This move is not only for ourselves, but also for our descendants. If it is true as Ouyang Lun said, the salary of the clan children will be halved year by year. You ask yourself, who can still afford to support a family?"

Hearing this, the clan members were furious.

"Second brother, I'll go with you!"

"His Royal Highness King Qin, as long as you take the lead, we will go with you even if we go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire today!"

"It should have been like this a long time ago. Since Ouyang Lun is delaying, we will go directly to our father!"

"Severely punish Ouyang Lun and return the salaries of my clan members!"

Seeing this, King Qin Zhu Ping nodded and waved his hand, "Let's go, follow me into the palace!"

Just when all the vassal princes and clans were preparing to go to the palace together, a servant from Prince Qin's Mansion hurried in.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, it's not good! Something bad is going to happen!"

the servant shouted as he walked away.

Seeing this, King Qin Zhu Ping's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a deep voice: "Why panic? What happened?"

"Returning to His Majesty the King of Qin, I just received the news that just this morning, His Majesty issued a new clan reform plan!" the servant said quickly.

"The reform plan is out! Tell me quickly!" King Qin Zhu Xi asked.

"Your Majesty said that starting from today, the salary of the clan members will be halved, and it will be halved every year starting from next year. In the end, the clan members will be treated the same as ordinary people!" the servant replied.

what! !

Hearing this, King Qin, King Zhou, King Chu and other vassal clans were dumbfounded.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Father will never do this to us!"

"Ouyang Lun also said the same thing. It seems that this is the idea Ouyang Lun gave to his father!"

"It's over. My salary has been cut in half. How will I live from now on?" Bang Dang -!

King Qin Zhu Ping smashed the teacup on the table to the ground.

"Ouyang Lun! You and I are at odds with each other! We have a sworn hatred!"

Qin King Zhu Ping stared at his servant with bloodshot eyes, "Besides this, what other news is there?"

The servant was already frightened by the overreaction of Qin King Zhu Ping, and he stuttered: "Back to His Majesty the King of Qin, Your Majesty also said that from today onwards, the salary of the feudal prince will be stopped, and all the clan members will be screened and assessed. Only Only those who pass the screening and assessment can be considered as members of the royal clan!"

"In addition, some kind of clan fund needs to be established, which will be managed by the clan government. Both the lord and the ordinary clan children must hand over half of their income on a monthly basis. At the same time, the lord is also responsible for the salaries of his own clan children. , benefits, etc.”

"what--!"

"Ouyang is a thief! He is simply bullying others too much!!"

King Qin Zhu Xi directly overturned all the fruit plates, tea cups, etc. on the table, "This Ouyang Lun's vicious methods are going to drive us vassal kings to a dead end!"

Chu King Zhu Zhen directly pulled out his sword and said, "Second brother, don't say anything. Ouyang Lun won't give us a way to survive. Let's just stop living. Let's go directly to the clan's mansion and chop Ouyang Lun into pieces!"

With Chu King Zhu Zhen taking the lead, other clan members immediately joined in, clamoring to kill Ouyang Lun.

"This Ouyang Lun deserves to die!"

"It's okay to halve the salary and salary, but we actually want to cancel the lord's salary and salary. Without salary and salary, our entire palace would be drinking from the northwest!"

"The most disgusting thing is that we are required to hand over half of our income. We are the clan of the Ming Dynasty. We are obviously slaves. We will eventually be squeezed out by the clan mansion controlled by Ouyang Lun!"

"As long as Ouyang the dog thief dies, my Ming Dynasty clan will never be able to succeed!"

"That's right! My father must have been deceived by Ouyang Lun, so he issued such an unfair policy. As a member of the royal family and as a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, what should we do when traitors appear around the emperor and bring trouble to the court? ?”

King Qin Zhu Xi shouted loudly and asked.

"According to the ancestral teachings of my father, if there are no honest ministers in the court and there are treacherous ministers in power, then the vassal kings from all over the country can bring troops to the capital to attack the treacherous ministers. This Ouyang Lun is the great treacherous minister. We can use the treacherous ministers in power to protect the emperor. Entering the palace with a sword in name!"

Zhou Wang Zhu Ju said seriously.

"Okay! Then let's go to Qingjun's side! There will never be a treacherous minister like Ouyang Lun by my father's side!"

"Everyone, follow me into the palace!"

After saying that, Qin King Zhu Xi also drew his sword.

Just when everyone was about to leave again, the servant hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Qin, wait! Your Majesty's clan reform plan also said that after the new plan is implemented, the clan's descendants will be allowed to engage in politics and business, even if they are caste The earth will not object!”

Um! ?

Upon hearing this, all the vassal princes and clans who were busy heading towards the palace stopped one after another.

There was a different look in his eyes.

"Are you telling the truth? Do you really allow the royal family members to engage in politics and business?" Zhou Wang Zhu Ru asked excitedly.

The servant nodded repeatedly, "It's absolutely true, I don't dare to deceive you at all!"

Hearing this, King Zhu Zhu of Zhou raised his head and looked at King Zhu Ping of Qin, "Second brother, most of the sect's children have been unable to engage in politics, let alone business. Now that they can engage in business and politics, this is not a good thing! From now on, we can also participate in government affairs like big brother!"

Chu King Zhu Zhen rolled his eyes, "Fifth Brother, this condition would have been very good before, but now we don't even have a salary. If you don't have money, how can you go into business? Business requires capital, as well as politics. I think This is a trap."

King Qin Zhu Xi nodded, "Lao Liu is right. Without capital, it is impossible to do business. It is difficult to support oneself with the salary of being an official. How to support the large family in the palace? This is completely deceiving us!"

"We still have to go to Qingjun's side and get rid of Ouyang Lun completely!"

The servant spoke again: "Your Majesty, King Qin, your Majesty also said that although the vassal king no longer has a fixed salary, he can still get 1% of the fief's tax revenue!"

Hearing this, Chu King Zhu Zhen said with disdain: "How much can one percent of tax be? Wait a minute."

Before he could say anything, Chu King Zhu Zhen reacted, grabbed the servant's collar, and asked almost frantically: "What did you say?! What did you just say?"

"Is it because His Majesty said that all feudal princes can get one percent of the fief tax?" The servant was frightened and replied nervously.

“One percent tax!!”

King Qin Zhu Xi also came to his senses, and then suddenly laughed, "Hahaha!"

The other vassal princes and clans also laughed after reacting.

Hahaha--

Hahaha--

Two maids passing by outside the house were so frightened that they got goosebumps when they heard such weird laughter.

"What's going on with these princes? They are furious and laughing at one moment. Could it be that they are crazy about gain and loss, right?"

"Who knows? I heard that people in the royal family have some quirks."

"That's it!"

"Hurry and leave. If you find out that we are eavesdropping, it will be the end of you."

The laughter in the room lasted for a long time.

Only then did King Qin Zhu Pang and others calm down.

"Second brother, although the new plan has canceled our fixed salary, it has given us a small tax. As long as we manage the fiefdom well, our income will far exceed the fixed salary we were given before. With capital, we can Being able to do business and be an official is much more free than it is now!"

Zhou Wang Zhu Ju said excitedly.

"That's right." King Qin Zhu Xi nodded, "As long as you are not stupid, your life will definitely be better than now. This is obviously because my father wants us to deeply participate in the governance of the fief!"

"Whether we can receive more taxes and live a better life depends entirely on our own abilities!"

"Haha, my father cares about us after all!"

"This plan is great!"

Suddenly, Qin King Zhu Xi seemed to have thought of something. He quickly grabbed the servant's collar and asked: "Say! What else did you find out?! Tell it all at once!"
