Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 98 Separation Matters,

Not too much?
It is simply too much. Supporting the emperor's reform will not only hand over the Xu family's land and wealth, but also offend many people to death.

Wei Guogong's Xu family is not only a veteran noble, but also the leader of a wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. If they fall to the emperor's side, the consequences will be extremely serious.

Xu Yu fell silent in an instant, exchanging the future of the Xu family for a way out for his grandson, this choice was too difficult.

If you choose to obey, the Xu family's future is unpredictable; but if you don't obey, the Xu family will not even have a future.

He was so able to live, from the days of Tianshun until now, he killed his own son, his grandson Xu Pengju was the only hope of the Xu family, if Xu Pengju died, the Xu family would also be cut off!

"Your Majesty, what a great method, but such a radical method, aren't you afraid of being backlashed?"

Xu Yu's words were full of resentment, no matter what, the Xu family was the direct descendant of Zhongshan King Xu Da, the first founding father of the country, how could they be treated so persecuted.

"What about your majesty, it's not Wei Guogong's turn to judge."

"Wei Guogong should think carefully about how to choose. Xu Pengju's life is in your hands."

Gao Feng said lightly.

"The old man knows what to do, but I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise"

There was a glint of sharp light in the cloudy eyes. Although he stepped into the coffin with half a foot, he was not dead yet, and he could continue to turn the clouds upside down.

If Gao Feng contradicts his promise, he has a lot of means to let Gao Feng learn the power of Wei Guogong's Xu family. On this three-acre land in the south of the Yangtze River, his Xu family still has some heritage.

"As long as Wei Guogong does what he should do, our family can assure you that Xu Pengju will not only be able to live safe and sound, but he will also be able to successfully inherit the position of Wei Guogong after a hundred years."

Wei Guogong, who is almost an empty shell, gave it as soon as he gave it. From the news from the capital, he has already judged that the Xungui Group in the future may be better than the wealthy gentry in Jiangnan who are undergoing a major purge, but it will definitely not be much better. go!

A few days later, Wei Guogong Xu Chu announced that he would hand over all the land and acres and unconditionally support the imperial court's reform.

As soon as this news came out, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked, and the whole world was shaken. Sitting in Nanjing, the Xu family of Wei Guogong, the first founding noble family, fell to the emperor's side. Who could stop the emperor's footsteps.

The Civil Service Group and the Xungui Group couldn't help but greet the [-]th generation of the ancestors of the Xu family. However, something even more shocking happened again!

The emperor wanted to cancel the supporting silver of the royal clan and support the separation of the descendants of the feudal princes.

As soon as the news came out, the vassal kings from all over the world stopped working in an instant, and let their second sons, bastards, brothers, nephews, and even some distant relatives participate in the division of the family. Wouldn't the wealth they worked hard to accumulate be wiped out? It's gone.

The feudal king was extremely dissatisfied with the so-called separation of the family, but their relatives were very happy, and they were all looking forward to the arrival of Yan Song, who presided over the separation of the feudal king.

The first person Yan Song approached was Zhao Wang Zhu Youfen. He was the descendant of Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, the third son of Emperor Yongle.

Zhao Wang Zhu Youfen assembled a group of family guards, ready to fight to the death, but he was directly tied up by his relatives and dragged to Yan Song like a big rice dumpling.

The reason why this happens can be boiled down to one word: poor.

King Zhao Zhu Gaoxuan participated in the rebellion of King Zhu Gaoxu of Han Dynasty, so the lineage of King Zhao was never seen by the emperor. In addition, King Zhao Zhu Youfen was a miser, and he refused to give a cent of the support money he got to relatives of King Zhao lineage.

This led to the fact that the royal family members of King Zhao's lineage nominally bear the titles of three generals and three captains, but in fact they are all so poor that they are about to beg for food!

When they heard that the emperor supported the separation of the family, the members of the royal family of King Zhao, who were about to go crazy, couldn't bear it. They rushed into King Zhao's mansion in a swarm, and directly tied Zhao Wang Zhu Youfen and Zhao Wang's son Zhu Houyu up!
Their attitude is very clear, this family gets points, and even if they don't, the emperor supports the separation, so you still want to die and refuse to admit it?

When Zhao Wang's lineage royal family escorted Zhao Wang Zhu Youfen, and Zhao Wang's son Zhu Houyu to meet Yan Song, Yan Song himself was taken aback. The kidnapping of the feudal king by the royal family is indeed an anecdote throughout the ages!
Zhao Wang Zhu Youfen, Zhao Wang Shizi Zhu Houyu, and all the royal family members of Zhao Wang's lineage are all here, and things will be handled easily.

Separating the family is actually no different from copying the house.

Collect the wealth and land deeds of King Zhao's mansion, distribute them to the royal family members of King Zhao's lineage, and confiscate the rest, and the matter is over!

During the whole process, the royal family members of King Zhao's lineage had a solid foundation, and the imperial court took back a large amount of land and fields. Everyone was happy, but Zhao Wang Zhu Youfen and Zhao Wang's son Zhu Houyu and his son looked like they had eaten cow dung, and their faces were extremely pale. ugly.

The wealth is gone, the land is gone, they are still a fart vassal, not even an ordinary businessman.

"Yan Song, you bastard"

"Zhu Houzhao, you bastard."

The two fathers and sons yelled loudly, without any manners, like a street shrew, with full firepower, and they were crazy output to Yan Song and Zhu Houzhao.

The majesty and posture that a vassal king should have, and the demeanor that a royal descendant should have, all made them lose their minds.

All the family property accumulated so hard was gone, and the relatives of King Zhao's lineage were completely divided up with the court. Except for a huge King Zhao's mansion, there was nothing left, and their hearts were bleeding!
No one cared what the father and son were thinking. The members of the royal family of King Zhao who had obtained the land and wealth left one after another. Before leaving, they did not forget to sneer.

They are all descendants of King Zhao Zhu Gaosui. These two guys are well-clothed and well-fed, prosperous and rich, and have whatever they want, but they are impoverished and precarious. Now seeing King Zhao and his son in distress, the royal family members of King Zhao are all in a strange mood refreshing.

"Please return Zhao Wang and the prince back to the manor!"

Yan Song ordered someone to take Zhao Wang and his son away, cursing non-stop, just like cursing a street shrew, which made his brain hurt.

"I didn't expect that there would be so many impoverished people in the descendants of the royal family!"

Following behind Yan Song, Yan Shifan, who came to observe and study, said with emotion.

People in the world always say that the royal family is good, they are born carefree and enjoy all the glory and wealth, but now it seems that it is not as beautiful as imagined.

Among the royal family members of King Zhao's lineage, he saw many people in difficult situations, with ragged clothes and haggard faces, like beggars.

"Emperor Taizu's system of support for the royal clan is actually very complete, but no matter how perfect the system is, there will always be loopholes."

"It is the vassals who are truly prosperous and rich. Most of the royal family can only solve food and clothing, and it is not surprising that some are poor."

Yan Song said indifferently, it is not without precedent that the royal family members are poor. Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty who farmed the land, and Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei, who weaved mats and sold shoes, were the most typical declining royal families.
