Prince of Chaos

Chapter 504 Give Orphan a Reason

Zhu Changluo asked indifferently: "Why Luoyang?"

Shen Li replied: "Returning to Your Highness, Luoyang is close to the capital, and Luoyang has been rich since ancient times. If the third son of the emperor is granted to Luoyang, it will not only be respectful to all His Highness, but also save the court tax."

As soon as Shen Li's words came out, Zhu Changluo knew what he was planning.

Shen Li had set his mind on the lineage of Yi Fan who had already been exterminated from the country.

The fiefdom of Yifan is Luoyang, which is the fiefdom of Zhu, the fifth son of Emperor Taizu's No.20.

In fact, Zhu is also quite ill-fated, and Yi Fan of his lineage naturally also has ill-fated fate.

Zhu Younian was enfeoffed in Luoyang by Zhu Yuanzhang, but this person was born restless, and he liked to do some crazy things all day long, and finally killed himself when he was 26 years old.

After his death, the Ministry of Rites at that time went to Emperor Yongle to request that Zhu be stripped of his title and buried with common people's rites because King Yi had not changed his evil deeds after repeated precepts.

However, Emperor Yongle did not agree with the request of the Ministry of Rites. After all, Emperor Yongle rebelled at the beginning because he couldn't bear Emperor Jianwen's cutting down the vassal, so he played the slogan of Jingnan Qingjun and restoring the old system of Taizu.

Now, King Yi is dead, and he is very unreliable.

However, for the sake of the legitimacy of his own legal system, Emperor Yongle naturally would not follow the advice of the Ministry of Rites to cut down the feudal clan. Instead, he suppressed the Yi clan for ten years before allowing Zhu's son to inherit the kingship.

As a result, Emperor Yongle also showed his benevolence and majesty to the clans all over the world, completely awed the disobedience of all the kings in the world.

If Emperor Yongle directly adopted the Ministry of Rites' request to cut down the vassals without even thinking about it, wouldn't it mean that Jianwen was right and he was wrong in rebelling.

Therefore, Yi Fan's first crisis of nearly eradicating the country was resolved in this way.

However, the release does not mean that Yifan can sit back and relax.

During the Jiajing period, Zhu Dianmao, the son of the seventh Yiwang, took over the throne. Compared with his ancestors, he was even more domineering and domineering!
Not only did he wantonly build palaces and buildings and occupy people's property, but also as long as there were court officials who passed Luoyang and did not enter the court, they would be humiliated and molested.Now he can annoy the scholar-bureaucrats who have never been used to the clan.

A vassal king whose bloodline is less than seven or eight generations of the imperial line actually treats himself as a dish.

Once these literati and bureaucrats became ruthless, they immediately let Zhu Dianli know why the flowers are so red.

Then Yi Wang Zhu Dianmao's various crimes were reported by the ministers. Emperor Jiajing saw that such a thing had the ability to offend so many ministers, and it was so arrogant.

Emperor Jiajing immediately ordered Zhu Dianli to demolish the illegal buildings, return the captured women, and hand over the abettor.

Originally, handing over the item of "abetting the villain" was the last bit of face for Zhu Dianmao, but Zhu Dianmao was very stubborn!He actually resisted the order and refused to hand over a "abetting villain" life and death, which seemed extremely righteous!

However, the emperor's decree here must be carried out, so the officials of the Henan government sent soldiers to demolish Zhu Dianmao's tyrannical palace.

Zhu Dianmao was also furious at that time, and he actually sent hundreds of people with weapons to fight with him. There was an uproar in Luoyang City, saying that "the king of Yi is rebelling!"
Now even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came, he couldn't save him.

So in the 43rd year of Jiajing, the imperial court abolished him as a commoner because of sexual violence, distributed him to Kaifeng, and confined him to the high wall of the provincial capital.

All the property and Lumi salary of Yiwang Mansion were confiscated by the officials.

Later, at the request of Chi Fengxiang, governor of Henan Province, all the property of Yiwangfu was sold to Yiyin, and it was used as food for the princes and military and civilian relief.He also distributed 3 taels of silver and more than 8 grains from the treasury of Yiwang's treasury.[-] taels of prohibited treasures and silver from the palace were confiscated into the inner treasury.

Since then, the direct lineage of Yi Fan has been eliminated from the country.

Now Shen Li said that enfeoffing Zhu Changxun to Luoyang can save money.Obviously, he had set his mind on Prince Yi's mansion.

You must know that the cost of building a palace is extremely huge. If there is a ready-made one, it can really save a lot of money.

It can be seen from this that Shen Li's proposal to Luoyang was considered well-intentioned.

However, the limitations of his time were still too great. He only wanted to complete the task and didn't think too much about the feelings of the people in Henan.

Of course, it may be that Shen Li never thought about the life and death of the people at the bottom.

In the eyes of these traditional scholar-bureaucrats, the real people are actually the landlords and the gentry class.

Once the imperial court came up with new decrees and taxation policies to adjust social conflicts or increase court revenue, they would often talk about the reason of "competing with the people for profit", criticizing the New Deal and attacking reformers.

In fact, this is not competing for profit with the people, it is competing for profit with scholar-bureaucrats.

Once the court compromised and stopped competing with the "people" for profit, they would suggest that the emperor add land taxes to solve the problem.

Over time, it will cause a huge gap between the rich and the poor and vicious land annexation.

In the end, the imperial court has no taxes, and the poor have no life.

And these literati and landlords who annexed the land enjoyed a corrupt life of extravagance, shaking their heads and reading moral articles about "governing the country and bringing peace to the world", while criticizing the injustice of the imperial court and the propriety, justice and shame of the poor people.

It seems that they are the only ones left in the whole world who are noble people who emerge from the mud and are not stained, moral models.

This is nothing but a group of refined egoists, who seem to be all reasonable, but in fact they are all sinful.

Zhu Changluo looked at Shen Li, and he said with clear eyes: "Luoyang can't do it. Henan's clans are densely populated, and floods and droughts alternate. In the 22nd year of Wanli, millions of people in Henan were displaced because of a heavy rain. The family can go home, and tens of thousands of people in the clan have suffered from it, without food or clothing."

"If I hadn't seen this situation, how could I have been appointed by my father as the grand order of the clan mansion? I want to adjust the conflict between the vassal king and the local area. If the third brother also went to Henan, wouldn't it be in the future? Add fuel to the fire?"

Zhu Changluo directly rejected Shen Li's proposal.

After Shen Li was rejected, he wasn't nervous either.

Because, he had long thought that the crown prince would not agree to go to the third son of the emperor to establish Luoyang.

Shen Li knelt down and said, "I still have one more suggestion."

Zhu Changluo said: "Mr. Shen continue."

Shen Li said: "I suggest that the third son of the emperor can establish a domain in Liaodong to consolidate the land of Liaodong."

Zhu Changluo's eyes shrank, this suggestion was indeed beyond Zhu Changluo's expectation.

Since Emperor Yongle Jingnan, all the kings along the border have been cut off or changed their titles.

At this time, to seal another prince out of the fortress, is it to reset the king of the fortress?
Zhu Changluo said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shen, do you know what you are talking about? King Sai's tail is hard to shake, and there is a danger to the country. If you can't give Gu a suitable reason, Gu can't protect you."
