Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 96 The land of the cursed family?

This person is none other than Xing Wang Zhu Youzhao, who is about to go to Anlu to become a feudal vassal!

Zhu Youzhan was the younger brother of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty. In the fifth year of Hongzhi, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhan gave Jiang Yuyu, the commander of the army and horses, to his younger brother Zhu Youzhao as the princess, and personally presided over the wedding for them.

Two years later, in the seventh year of Hongzhi, the 17-year-old Xing Wang Zhu Youzhu became a fan of Huguang'an Luzhou.

Originally, Ming Xiaozong designated Wei Hui as the reclaimed land for his younger brother Zhu Youzhao.

Zhu Youzhu felt that the land there was barren and low-lying, so it was prone to flooding.

In case of a year with a lot of water, the surrounding rivers can easily break their banks.

It is a trivial matter that the fields are flooded, and the whole city is estimated to be flooded. He doesn't want to live in that dangerous place at a young age.

Zhu Youtang simply wrote a letter to his brother Zhu Youtang, the emperor, and wanted to invite An Luzhou to be granted.

Ming Xiaozong had a good relationship with this younger brother, so when he mentioned it, he immediately approved it.

If he knew that there would be so many troubles in the future, he would definitely not agree at that time.

Let's say that Zhu Youcai, king of Xiangyang Xiangyang, was very flustered when he heard that Zhu Youzhao was coming to Anlu Prefecture.

The reason for Zhu Youcai's panic is related to Zhu Youzhu, rather than Yu Tianchan.

Prince Xiang's Mansion is famous for its wealth among Huguang vassal princes.

The reason why Prince Xiang's Mansion became the richest among the vassal kings was because the Prince Xiang's Mansion owned the properties of two vassals.

One is in Xiangyang Mansion, and the other is in Anlu Prefecture.

Prince Xiang's Mansion not only manages the land of its own fief, but also controls 449 hectares of land in Anlu Prefecture.

Why is the 449 hectares of land in Anlu Prefecture in the hands of King Xiang?

There is another story involved here, and of course it can be said to be an accident.

Anlu Prefecture is a place where there is no magic spell.

King Ying and King Liang used to live in this place, and they both had no households here.

King Ying was the 24th son of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was enfeoffed to Anlu Prefecture, and was revoked after his death because he had no sons;

Liang Wang is the ninth son of Zhu Gaochi, who was enfeoffed to Anlu Prefecture, and the enfeoffment was revoked due to his death without a son.

King Ying has gone through at least a few generations, King Liang is the worst, only his generation, because he has no son, after his death, the lineage of King Liang will end directly.

When these two princes became feudal vassals in Anlu Prefecture, the imperial court gave them a large amount of land.

After the death of King Liang, because there was no vassal king to go here, no vassal king came here. In order to avoid the barrenness of the field, the imperial court gave 494 hectares of land to the neighboring King Xiang, and asked the Xiangwang Mansion to manage it.

King Xiang suddenly gained tens of thousands of acres of land, and became a wealthy man for a while. No wonder Zhu Youcai spent money like water but was not short of money. This had a lot to do with his own two lands.

Now Xing Wang Zhu Youzhan is in Anlu, and he will definitely want to return those properties, how can Zhu Youcai not panic?

Even though Zhu Youcai is arrogant and extravagant, he is still a smart person.

There are many strange people in Lao Zhu's family, but in fact there are many smart people, but some of them are useless.

Sure enough, shortly after Zhu Youzhan took over Anlu, he directly applied to Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty for the return of the land owned by the two kings of Ying and Liang.

Even though Zhu Youcai was a little flustered, he was not a vegetarian. This guy had been bold and fat since he was a child, so he directly wrote a letter to fight Zhu Youchao.

He wrote that even though the land belonged to King Liang before, after the death of King Liang, Ming Yingzong gave it to his great-grandfather Zhu Zhanqian to manage it, and the family still had Ming Yingzong's decree

(I have evidence, you are the emperor, you can't take your word for it).

And now that four generations have passed, those land properties are no longer the property of the Anlu Prefecture vassal, but belong to their Xiangwang Mansion, so naturally he cannot give it to King Xing Zhu Youzhu.

King Xing Zhu Youzhao was not a vegetarian either, he was young and young, so naturally he would not be at a disadvantage, so he continued to write a letter, saying that those lands were not rewarded to King Xiang, but that the court had no vassals in Anlu.

The imperial court just asked King Xiang to take care of it. Since it was taken care of by the Lord, it must be returned!
If you take advantage of this, who else would dare to take over Anlu?
All the vassals followed the example of Prince Xiang's Mansion, isn't this Daming royal land messed up?

The public said that the public was right, and the wife said that the old woman was reasonable, and Ming Xiaozong was not easy to make a decision.

Moreover, the verbal quarrel between the two caused an uproar in the court, and there was no way to justify it.

Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty had no choice but to directly call on the ministers to hold a meeting and make a resolution.

Subject of resolution:
Should the disputed land of 449 hectares belong to King Xiang or King Xiang?
Those ministers are all veterans, not to mention that the imperial examinations select talents at different levels, and how many of them are idiots if they can stay in Beijing as an official and win the court?

The feudal lords' fights are the old Zhu's housework, and if outsiders take care of them, wouldn't that cause a commotion?
And this matter has nothing to do with them, even if they quit, they will not give themselves half a star!

These people started to make mud, and after a while it was explained that Yingzong gave the land to King Xiang, and it was right for King Xiang to occupy it;
After a while, it was explained that Yingzong did not expressly say that those lands were rewarded to King Xiang, and they would be owned by King Xiang's mansion forever. King Xing was right.

In the final analysis, it is not to stand in line. Since it is a matter of the royal family, the emperor can make his own decision!
Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty was so angry when he heard those ministers practicing Tai Chi.

Of course, his heart is biased towards his younger brother King Xing, that King Xiang has been separated from him by several generations, even if they are both royals, they can only be regarded as distant relatives.

But if those lands were given to his younger brother King Xing, what if the royal family would have more land disputes and everyone would come to their own decision?
There was no way, Ming Xiaozong simply put the matter on hold.

Since it's not easy to manage, I don't care about it!
The emperor doesn't care!
Xing Wang Zhu Youzhu is also a tough person, he has already seen that if this matter is shelved, those lands will definitely not come back.

When I moved from Weihui to Anlu Prefecture, I was originally opposed by some people in my family, such as Princess Jiang.

The concubine felt that Anlu Prefecture was a land of curses, and it was inauspicious to come here, but King Xing didn't believe that.

Now that I am here in Anlu Prefecture, I still suffer from the air of being a loser, how can I bear it?
And there are a lot of those lands. Although the vassal king said that the benefits are good, the people of the whole government have to support them.

In the future, I may have many descendants, all of whom will live on their own.

Even if you don't think about yourself, for the sake of your children and grandchildren, you can't just let it go.

He directly sent the people from Yiwei Division to grab the land, but of course the officials of Prince Xiang's Mansion resisted, and Yiwei Division directly arrested those officials.

Zhu Youcai saw that his officials had been arrested and the land had been seized, so he also sent his own people to arrest the people in the Xing Palace.

You come and go, you catch my people, I catch your people. In a short period of time, more than 70 people participated in it, and the disturbance was well known in both places.

The court officials of the two places see that this incident will definitely cause a big disturbance if it continues, and they will not be able to bear it if something goes wrong.

Deliberately spread the matter to the court to let Ming Xiaozong know.

Ming Xiaozong really wanted to scold his mother when he found out!

He didn't want to care about this matter at first, and pretended not to know, but the two families became more and more troublesome, and he couldn't let himself care about it.

There was a man who couldn't bear to see the emperor being so sad, so he voluntarily applied to go to Huguang to mediate the conflict between King Xing and King Xiang in order to share the emperor's worries.

This person is Wang Lun, Minister of Dali Temple.

As the highest hair court that often judges and judges, Wang Lun has rich experience in this area as a staff member for many years.

Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty was very happy when he heard this, and shouted directly: Wang Lun is really a good minister of mine who can share my worries for me!
Wang Lun was very useful, but he still made a condition with Ming Xiaozong.

Said that his identity to handle this matter is to mediate the conflict on behalf of the emperor, not to judge who is right or wrong, so as not to arouse the resentment of the two kings.

For Ming Xiaozong, as long as the matter can be resolved, whether it is to mediate the conflict, or to scold and fight, as long as the two families stop making trouble, all conditions are easy to negotiate!

In this way, Wang Lun and Wang Siqing went to Huguang.

As an official of the Supreme Court, Wang Lun is definitely adept at judging cases and adjudicating cases.

He went to Prince Xiang's mansion first.

Zhu Youcai warmly received the imperial envoy. He originally thought that the imperial envoy was here to judge the case, so he treated him very politely.

Even though he is a prince, he is only considered as a side branch now, and his imperial envoy is a third-rank official, and he can speak more in front of the emperor than these side branch princes.

What's more, they are representing the emperor to break up the matter between King Xing and his family.

Unexpectedly, when Wang Lun came, he didn't even ask about the specific situation in detail, let alone read the decree received by his great-grandfather, but only pulled himself to chat about homework.

Wang Lun has a good drinker, and he praised the luxury of his mansion while tasting the fine wine he brewed at home.

When the two were drinking, Wang Lun and Zhu Youcai played the kindergarten-level Three Thousand Questions:

King Xiang!You said that you have a close relationship with the current emperor?Or is Prince Xing close to the emperor?
