eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 534 Chapter 533
"Is the king's residence too big?"

The question Yi Dunyan asked is crucial.

Zhang Cong was very entangled, and the more entangled, the more useless he felt.

"This official accepts the emperor's holy will, and disregards life and death for the sake of the country, the country, and the people of the world. Now at this moment, why can't you even save the land that should be saved?!"

Snapped!
He slapped the table hard, and then clenched it tightly again, "I must be saved! I must be saved! At the beginning, Yang Ge said a word, the Holy King is coming, and the Zhengde Dynasty can't do this, when will we wait?!"

"Then the job is to offend two princes at the same time."

The word "Wang Ye" is light when you say it, but it is very heavy behind it.Even in today's world, if the clan's relatives hadn't committed such a serious crime of treason, they would not easily kill more people and seize the title.

The people of the world support the emperor,

Naturally, it also supports the prince.

The moment Zhu Yuanzhang took over the world, his descendants were different.

If a person beats and kills his own clan members at every turn, that is truly cruel.

Although Zhu Houzhao can't help but want to kill these wastes.

And Zhang Cong wanted to gamble, just like he did in Huai'an Mansion back then. In that situation, if it weren't for the emperor who really cared about the people, he wouldn't be able to survive at all.

So far, Emperor Zhengde has killed corrupt officials, deposed King Huai, and made such a big commotion in the capital to divide the land. He believes that the emperor and he have a common idea in their hearts, that is, to protect the people!

The two princes in Ningxia have already made five suits with the emperor.

Moreover, since Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, he has treated his clan members far worse than Emperor Hongzhi, and even changed the arrogant situation of Hongzhi's relatives.

These are all reasons!

If he wins the bet, Zhang Cong will definitely become famous!At that time, a Shaanxi Taoist censor will not be his end.

It can be said that this is a political speculation that is far more important than what he encountered in Huai'an Mansion!
"Brother Dunyan, the meaning of the imperial court and His Majesty is clear. The purpose of cleaning up the military settlements is not to investigate one or two corrupt officials, but to return the land to the sergeants, so that people can have fields and state-owned grains. What's more, it is to revitalize the guards and strengthen them. The fighting strength of the frontier army, and Brother Dun Yan also said, the people in the city are raging right now, if we don’t save the prince’s fields, how will the people’s feelings be peaceful? How can the frontier army prosper?!”

Yi Dunyan knew that it would be useless for him to ask any more questions, so he said instead: "In Ningxia City, King Qing is timid and King Anhua is arrogant. If you really want to visit the fields of the palace, you can start with King Qing first."

Logically speaking, in fact, it should be difficult first and then easy, because the cowardly King Qing naturally didn't dare to say anything after King Anhua was dealt with.

But that's only in theory.

After all, this is the prince surnamed Zhu. Perhaps it is the best policy to start with the easy and then the difficult. After all, since King Qing's land can be saved, it is also a reason to stop the mouth of King Anhua.

Water is impermanent, it depends on how to judge the situation and take appropriate measures.

"Boss, at this time, the means should not be too aggressive. If something bad happens and the court shakes, His Majesty may be angry."

Zhang Cong was shaken, he frowned, and finally let out a sigh of relief, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

Ningxia was considered a proper frontier city in the Ming Dynasty. It is really strange that there are two princes in such a large place.

That's because Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention of setting up the vassal king was to let his children and grandchildren guard the world for the emperor in Nanjing.

The legitimate son sits in the world, the concubine is divided into border towns, guarding the center, what a beautiful and harmonious situation.

It's just that he didn't expect that the vassal king who was supposed to defend the center would do so.

Speaking of which, King Qing was named Zhu Taixi. He became a noble in the 11th year of Hongzhi. His ancestor was Zhu Yuanzhang's sixteenth son Zhu.

The king of Anhua, named Zhu Zhixiong, became the noble in the fifth year of Hongzhi, and his ancestor was also King Qingjing.

King Qingjing gave birth to six sons. The lineage of the eldest son was passed down to the title of King Qing, and the fourth son, King Huiyi of Anhua, Zhu Zhiqi, was passed down to the lineage of King Anhua.

According to the clan, the current King Qing is from the same family.

But in terms of seniority, the current King Anhua is the uncle of King Qing.

And the reason why King Qing is said to be timid is because the people in Ningxia know two things about King Qing best:
One, fear of Tartars.Because Ningxia is located in a border town, and Tatars often enter the customs through Huamachi, he is always frightened, and every time he is frightened, he loses his temper in the palace.

Second, his uncle Anhua Wang always bullied him.Now King Qing Ruannuo, no one regards him as his own family, and his father's ancestral grave has been looted, which is actually a bit too much, but in the end there is nothing to say, King Anhua often teaches him as an elder.It's just a bad luck.

The most unlucky thing is that the historical King Anhua finally rebelled! !

Damn it, King Qing lost his soul when he found out!They are in the same place, how can they prove their innocence? !
But how should I put it, in terms of fate, King Qing's fate was much better.

After King Anhua rebelled, he rushed to his mansion immediately. The mansion had a lot of wealth, how could he let it go? King Qing had no choice but to say that his bones were not hard at all. Huawang.

But when King Anhua was finally liquidated, he survived!Because everyone believed that he was forced!

During the Jiajing period, there were still people who slandered King Qing for treason and rewarded the emperor. After hearing this, question marks filled his head: King Qing rebelled?Do you think I'm as easy to fool as my cousin?
Then an investigation was ordered, and the historical records said: Taixi was guilty of the crime, and he had no plan to do anything wrong.That is to say, this guy has other crimes, but it is absolutely impossible to do anything wrong.

It turned out later that he was framed.

But this unlucky guy was not found out for treason, but was found out for other crimes, such as framing the local guard.

Anyway, he was being bullied honestly, and no one helped him. Instead, he felt that anyone could bully him, so he was tossed again for no reason.
In the end, Emperor Jiajing ordered his throne to be removed, but if he didn't kill him, he was given a salary and imprisoned in the palace.

But for some reason, maybe this guy felt at ease and lived until the 30th year of Jiajing.

This is fate.

So when meeting such a prince, it is not a stupid idea to start with the easy ones and then the difficult ones.

The persimmons should be soft first.

Zhang Cong couldn't continue to stay in Xingyuan. In any case, King Qing was also Zhu Yuanzhang's descendant. If he wanted to spend the land of Prince Qing's mansion, he had to go.

It just so happened that the people from the governor's yamen were also there, taking them with them.

in the afternoon,

Prince Qing's Mansion.

This unlucky reminder didn't want to get involved with anything at all, but in the end he was approached by someone.

When Zhang Cong explained his purpose, his face turned pale.

"The emperor really has such a will?!"

Zhang Cong and Yi Dunyan who asked this question were dumbfounded, what are you talking about!

"My lord Qing, it is a death penalty to falsely preach the imperial decree. It is related to the emperor, and the lower officials dare not talk nonsense."

King Qing panicked and said: "King Qing's lineage is full of people and talkative, and the salary he gets is only enough for daily use. The emperor has always loved his clan, so how could he make such a decree? Besides, this king has always kept his own place. He has never made any mistakes in the past. You guys It is said that the imperial decree is to save the fields, this... how can this king accept it?"

This……

Zhang Cong didn't expect to be such an idiot prince.

"My lord, the royal family's salary will be given by the imperial court as usual, but the royal family has taken up too much of the army's fields, and the soldiers have no land to cultivate. They can't eat enough and can't fight. If things go on like this, the frontiers will be in danger."

The young man on the main seat blinked his eyes, wondering whether he understood or not, and said after a few breaths: "Why is the frontier in danger? Didn't the Tatars be driven away?! Could it be... Could it be that they made a comeback again?" Already?!"

Zhang Cong: "..."

"Tatars, no comeback..."

"Without a comeback, where is the danger?"

Forget it.

Zhang Cong's heart broke, "Your Majesty Qing, this official has issued an imperial decree, and this field must be saved. If you still have any doubts, you can report to His Majesty Ming!"

Just at this moment, a sound came from outside.

A majestic voice shouted: "Prince Qing is of the blood of Emperor Taizu Gao, a member of the royal family. How could it be that you, a censor, said you want to save the land?!"

Zhang Cong and Yi Dunyan looked out at the same time, and sure enough, they saw a bearded man walking in. He was wearing a gorgeous python robe, but he was much more powerful than Prince Qing.

He stepped in, straightened his back, and asked confidently: "Zhang Bingyong, what is your purpose when you say that you are ordered to save the land of the palace?!"

Zhang Cong's eyes flicked across Yi Dunyan's face, seeing the latter nodded, he understood in his heart.

There are two princes in the city, this one is older than Prince Qing, he must be the arrogant King Anhua.

Normally speaking, the prince of the Zhu family should be respected by the courtiers.But the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty sometimes didn't dump the emperor, and they even disdain some vassal kings.

Lord Qing is timid, which makes him feel that it is difficult to make a move, but facing this arrogant King Anhua, he is not the kind of person who will be afraid!
