Chapter 470 King Anton's Plan
Since Liu Jun was born in the yellow robe in Beijing and became the emperor, the news of his ascension to the throne and emperor was passed back to eastern Hubei, eastern Hubei has become a place of dragon development. ●⌒,. Decades ago, Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty died and had no sons to succeed him. Finally, he chose the prince of King Xing from Hubei to Beijing to Chengsi to succeed him, and thus a Jiajing emperor was produced in Hubei.
Emperor Jiajing later promoted Anluzhou to Chengtian Prefecture and designated Xingdu.
Many Hubei officials gained power in the court because of this. Now, the big families such as Mei Li and Liu in Macheng flourished at that time. Now, another emperor has emerged in eastern Hubei.
A real dragon flew out of the Liu family of Jinghu Ding Clan.
Many people find it incredible that the Emperor Longhan was just the son of an old scholar and a little martial artist in his early years. Later, he became Mei Zhihuan's disciple, and later became a descendant of the Liu family outside. Everyone saw this young Liu family, who built the village soldiers, organized civilian training, led troops to suppress bandits, promoted troops to conquer the enemy, guerrilla general, deputy general, general, general, general, general, and officer, always admiral, governor, commander, and even granted marquis and dukes until he was granted the title of prince, finally granted the title of King of Han, and then became the Emperor of Longhan.
If one person attains enlightenment, the chicken and the dog will ascend to heaven.
Liu Jiye became the founding king of Longhan, and Macheng was naturally the place where Longsheng rose.
Not to mention that Liu Lao Xiucai has now become the Supreme Emperor of the Han Dynasty, even Liu Jinwu has now become the Duke of Qi. Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng, who promoted Liu Jun, naturally benefited greatly. Although Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng have passed away, both of them have been posthumously awarded the Duke of Yan and Duke of Song.
Li Changgeng's nephew, Li Chunjiang, who was the friend of Liu Jiye, is now appointed as the governor of Sanjiang and is named the founding prince of Taiping. Mei Zhihuan, the daughter of Linjiang. This is also the second female Count of the New Dynasty after Qin Liangyu was granted the title of marquis. It is not a wife, but a direct title of marquis. This is something unprecedented in ancient times, and the differences between the Longhan Dynasty are shown everywhere.
The people in eastern Hubei were all happy that a true dragon emperor appeared in their hometown, but some were not happy.
Zhu Changxu, the prince of Andong in Qizhou, was very unhappy, or very scared.
Zhu Changxi was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Jiye is now the usurped throne of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, there were many princes like Zhu Changxi, and more than 270 years of the Ming Dynasty. Now, there are more than 30 princes alone, and more than 100 princes, not to mention various generals such as governing the country and assisting the country.
Although there are many princes and princes in the royal family, Zhu Changli can enjoy a lot of benefits as a prince. In the local area, although they do not interfere in government affairs and military affairs, they are at ease to be a rich prince, but there is no pressure.
In the Ming Dynasty, more than 60 princes were actually granted titles, and more than 10 were deposed for the cause, and some of them were expelled from the title. The prince even had more than 600 titles.
The prince’s fortune is ten thousand stones, and the prince also has two thousand stones.
In addition to the rice, there are also various gifts such as silver, brocade, silk, yarn, silk, silk, cloth, etc., as well as salt and tea. In addition, there are many gifts.
Zhu Changli was just a prince, and he belonged to Chengzu. In terms of seniority, he was also the uncle of Emperor Tianqi and Emperor Chongzhen. His fief was in Qizhou, and he was also a wealthy place. He had various grants of land under his name and the contributions he had received over the years, which totaled tens of thousands of acres. Although he could not compare with those princes, he could only tens of thousands of acres or even more, but there were definitely a lot of land. In addition, he also obtained a lot of salt tea monopoly rights, and Zhu Changli was very rich.
In the past, he was also very satisfied with his life.
But he knew very well the source of all this. It was because he was the prince of the Ming Dynasty. Once he lost this title, his huge wealth would be lost.
When Liu Jun first started to serve as a village soldier, Zhu Changqi had not taken this young man seriously. Later, Liu Jun became an inspector at Hutou Pass, and he had watched Liu Jun save his niece. He rewarded Liu Jun with an opportunity to work for him, crack down on private salt dealers for him, and then share some benefits for him.
Who could imagine that the boy who worked hard for some of the salt benefits of a village has now become the emperor and usurped the great Ming world of their Zhu family.
Although after Liu Jun became emperor, he once announced an edict to treat the descendants of the Zhu family well, Zhu Changxu did not believe it.
Now that his title of Prince Andong has been deposed, he has become only a commoner and a royal family member of the previous dynasty, which makes him feel uneasy.
Fortunately, no one has come to touch him yet.
Thanks to his good brother-in-law, Li Shuchu, the current governor of the Central Plains, was his brother-in-law. At that time, Li Shuchu was the son-in-law of their royal mansion, and the royal mansion fully supported him in the imperial examination. Later, Li Shu became a Jinshi in junior high school, moved out of the mansion, and took his family out to be an official for many years.
Later, he offended someone in the court and returned home. Unexpectedly, he met his niece and Liu Jun. Later, after Liu Jiye became rich, he also helped Li Shuchu. Since then, Li Shuchu's official career has been developed. He has followed Liu Jun closely over the years, from the governor of Henan to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, to the governor of Sanjiang, to the current governor of Central Plains, he has always been Liu Jiye's humble minister.
If it weren't for his brother-in-law Liu Jiye's confidant, he, a royal family member of the previous dynasty, wouldn't he be so stable?
But if a person has no long-term plans, he will have immediate worries. Even if he has a brother-in-law who is the governor of the new dynasty, he will not be able to protect him for a lifetime. As the saying goes, every man is innocent and he will be guilty of possessing a treasure.
His former royal family had millions of family resources and tens of acres of fertile land. I don’t know how many people were staring at him and wanted to pounce on him at any time and take a bite.
When he heard that Liu Jiye had conferred a countess as Miss Mei's family, he couldn't help but have an idea.
Liu Jiye is still very nostalgic. He has also heard of many things about the Miss Mei family. He knows that Mei Zhihuan is a very special person and has raised a very special daughter. It is said that Miss Mei has always dressed up as a man in her early years and led troops to fight under Liu Jiye's command. She has a bit of a heroic spirit. Even Qin Liangyu praised it back then.
I heard that if Mei Zhihuan had not died suddenly and Miss Mei returned to her hometown to mourn, she might have been the general of a town in Xin Dynasty. If she had not been able to become a marquis this time, she would have been named a marquis.
There is also a rumor that Miss Mei actually had a private relationship with Liu Jiye back then, because when they met, Liu Jun had already married. There are even rumors that when Miss Mei's filial piety period is over, she will definitely be in the palace.
Zhu Changxu was half-believing and half-doubting about this statement.
But he thought of his own predicament, and he thought of his niece. When his niece was caught by a thief, he was lucky to be rescued by Liu Jiye. Later, his niece was really fascinated by Liu Jiye for a while, and he opposed it at that time. At that time, Liu Jiye seemed not very accepting that his niece was too proactive, and in the end the two of them were gone.
But a few years have passed, and my niece has reached the age of marriage, but she has never liked someone. He used to guess that it might be related to Liu Jiye.
Thinking about it now, this is a good thing.
If his niece can reconcile his old relationship with Liu Jiye, then he will have double insurance.
After breakfast, Zhu Changqi looked at his wife, "It's getting warmer. Has Shi Niang gone out for a trip?"
"No." The wife replied, "Shi Niang is not young anymore. Now that her husband's family has not yet met her, how can she show up in public at will?"
"It's not a big deal to stay at home every day. I know that Shi Niang and Lin Jiang Bo had a good relationship before. If they were angry today, it would be better to send a car to take him to Macheng to see Miss Mei."
"I heard that the new emperor had granted Miss Zhou an Earl, I couldn't believe it. Women can also be awarded the title. There is really a difference everywhere in the new dynasty. You say that Mr. Mei's son has not been awarded the title, but his daughter has given the title. If I say it, it must be as rumored, this Miss Mei must have had something to do with the new emperor." Zhang, who is no longer a princess of the county, is almost fifty years old, but she is still dressed very graceful and rich, with a fake bun and a flower on it.
"Don't just talk nonsense, you can talk nonsense about the new emperor? You don't understand what disaster is coming from the mouth? We are not as good as before. Now the world is the Dragon and Han Dynasty, and we are just the royal family of the previous dynasty. No matter what, we have to be a human being with our tails in our hands."
"I know, this is not that there are no outsiders at home. You said this. Why did the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty change the dynasty in the blink of an eye? I really know people but not the heart. Before, everyone in the world praised Liu Jiye for his unparalleled loyalty and filial piety, but who knew it was Cao Cao and Wang Mang."
"Say a few words, don't put yourself in it. Now you have to burn incense and worship Buddha and thank you." Although Zhu Changqi was a descendant of the Zhu family, he had no idea of trying to rescue the king and restore the country.
These descendants of the royal family have been enclosed in local fiefdoms for generations over the years, and will never leave the vassal states easily for the rest of their lives. Not to mention entering the capital, they may be criticized even if they leave a city. For hundreds of years, the court has been guarding against them as if they were thieves, and they were not allowed to interfere in any local affairs.
To be honest, although the court provides him with a lot of salary every year, he really has no feelings for the court. As for the country has collapsed and those privileges have to be lost, it is useless to be unwilling to do so. Just say that Qizhou is the base camp of Liu Jiye and the land of Longxing. Not only are there many elite troops stationed in the place, but even many landlords and gentry in eastern Hubei are actually standing on Liu Jiye's side.
Zhu Changqi didn't dare to have any of that kind of thoughts, and he didn't dare to think about it.
The wife nagged for a while, then went to her niece's yard.
In the West Chamber, Li Zhen was playing chess with the maid on the stone table under the peach tree that had been opened.
Another maid who was cooking tea saw her coming in and hurriedly shouted, "Girl, the princess of the county is here."
"Why haven't you changed your words? You're going to call your wife in the future, and you're not allowed to call your princess again."
Li Zhen stood up and greeted him, "Auntie, why are you here?"
"You sit here in a daze in such a good weather." Zhang took Li Zhen's hand, "I plan to go to Nengren Temple in Macheng tomorrow to get incense. I know you have a good relationship with Miss Mei from Qiligang, Macheng, so I asked if you would like to accompany me. By the way, you can also visit Miss Mei."
