Family separation matters,

Not too much?

It was simply too much. Supporting the emperor's reform would not only hand over the Xu family's land and wealth, but also offend many people to death, which would do a lot of harm to the Xu family without any benefit.

The Duke of Wei's Xu family is not only a veteran nobleman, but also the leader of a wealthy gentry family in the south of the Yangtze River. If he falls to the emperor's side, the consequences will be extremely serious.

Xu Yan fell silent instantly. It was a difficult choice to trade the future of the Xu family for his grandson's survival.

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

He is so capable of living that he has survived from the Tianshun period to the present, even surviving his own sons to death. His grandson Xu Pengju is the only hope of the Xu family. If Xu Pengju dies, the Xu family will also be cut off!

"Your Majesty, your methods are good. But if your methods are so radical, aren't you afraid of backlash?"

Xu Yan's words were full of resentment. The Xu family is the direct descendant of the first founding father of the country, Zhongshan King Xu Da. How could they be treated like this?

"What happens to Your Majesty? It's not Wei Guogong's turn to judge."

"Wei Guogong should think carefully about what choice to make. Xu Pengju's life is in your hands."

The civil servant group and the noble group couldn't help but greet the eighteenth generation of Xu family ancestors. However, something even more shocking happened again!

All the family property they had worked so hard to accumulate was gone, and their relatives from King Zhao's lineage and the imperial court were completely divided. There was nothing left except a huge King Zhao's Mansion, and their hearts were bleeding!

No one cared about what the two father and son were thinking in their hearts. The royal family members of King Zhao who had obtained land and wealth left one after another. Before leaving, they did not forget to say a few words of ridicule.

Collect the wealth and land deeds of Prince Zhao's Mansion, divide them among the royal family members of Prince Zhao's lineage, and then confiscate the rest, and the matter is over!

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

"I know what to do, but I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise"

A sharp light burst out from his cloudy eyes. Although he had half-stepped into the coffin, he was not dead yet and could continue to make changes.

If Gao Feng goes back on his word, he has the means to make Gao Feng realize the power of Wei Guogong's Xu family. In this three-acre land of Jiangnan, his Xu family still has some background.

The majestic posture that a vassal king should have, and the demeanor that a descendant of the royal family should have, were all thrown out of the sky.

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

Their wealth is gone, their land is gone, and they are still nothing like vassal kings, not even as good as ordinary merchants.

Both are descendants of King Zhao Zhu Gaosui. These two guys are well-dressed, rich, and have everything they want. However, they are impoverished and precarious. Now that they see King Zhao and his son in trouble, the royal family members of King Zhao are in an abnormal mood.

of comfort.

People in the world always say that the royal family is good because they are born without worries and enjoy all the glory and wealth, but now it seems that it is not as beautiful as they imagined.

Yan Song ordered people to take Prince Zhao and his son away, and kept cursing him like a street shrew, which made his head hurt.

Separating a house is actually no different from confiscating a house.

As soon as this news came out, the government and the public were shocked, and the world was shocked. Sitting in Nanjing, the Xu family of Wei Guogong, the first noble family of the founding of the country, all turned to the emperor's side. Who could stop the emperor's footsteps.

When they heard that the emperor supported the separation of the family, the royal family members of King Zhao, who were almost going crazy because of poverty, couldn't bear it anymore. They rushed into the palace of King Zhao in a swarm and directly kidnapped King Zhao Zhu Youdi and Prince Zhao's eldest son Zhu Houyu. Got it!

Their attitude is very clear. If the family is divided, it will be scored. If it is not divided, it will be scored. The emperor already supports the separation. Do you still want to die and refuse to admit it?

The vassal king was extremely dissatisfied with the so-called family separation, but their relatives were very happy, and they were all eagerly awaiting the arrival of Yan Song, who was in charge of the vassal separation.

As soon as this news came out, the vassal kings from all over the country immediately gave up and allowed their second sons, concubines, brothers, nephews, and even some distant relatives to participate in the division of the family. Wouldn't it mean that the wealth they had worked so hard to accumulate would be destroyed? The water floated.

"Please invite King Zhao and the Crown Prince to return home!"

The reason why this happens comes down to one word: poverty.

Yan Shifan, who followed Yan Song and came to observe and learn, said with emotion.

The emperor wanted to cancel the support silver provided by the royal family and support the family separation of the descendants of the vassal king.

This led to the fact that the royal family members of King Zhao's lineage were nominally entitled as the three generals and the three captains, but in fact they were all so poor that they were almost begging for food!

"Zhu Houzhao, you bastard."

The first person Yan Song approached was Zhao Wang Zhu Youdi, who was a descendant of Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, the third son of Emperor Yongle. He was relatively low-key among the vassal kings, but being low-key did not mean that he was willing to accept his family property being divided up by a group of relatives.

"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 safely and soundly, but also successfully inherit the position of Wei Guogong after a hundred years."

Wei Guogong, who was almost an empty shell, just gave it to him. From the news coming from the capital, he had already judged that the future Xungui Group might be better than the Jiangnan gentry and wealthy families that were undergoing a great purge, but it was definitely not much better. go!

King Zhao Zhu Gaosui once participated in the rebellion of Han King Zhu Gaoxu, so King Zhao's lineage was never favored by the emperor. In addition, King Zhao Zhu Youdi was a miser, and he would not give any of the support silver he received to relatives of King Zhao's lineage.

Throughout the process, the royal family of King Zhao had a solid foundation, and the court recovered a large number of acres of land. Everyone was happy, except King Zhao Zhu Youdi and his son Zhu Houyu, who looked as if they had eaten cow dung. Ugly.

"Yan Song, you bastard"

Gao Feng said calmly.

When the royal family members of King Zhao escorted King Zhao Zhu Youdi and Prince Zhao Zhu Houyu to see Yan Song, Yan Song himself was shocked. The kidnapping of a vassal king by a royal family member is truly an anecdote through the ages!

King Zhao Zhu Youdi, Prince Zhao Zhu Houyu, and all the royal family members of King Zhao's line are here, and things will be easier to handle.

The two father and son cursed loudly and showed no manners at all. They were like scolding street shrews. They were firing at Yan Song and Zhu Houzhao with all their fury.

King Zhao Zhu Youdi gathered a group of servants to protect him and prepared to fight to the death. However, his relatives tied him up and dragged him to Yan Song like a big rice dumpling.

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

"The royal family support system formulated by Emperor Taizu is actually very complete, but no matter how perfect the system is, there will always be loopholes."

"It is the feudal king who is truly prosperous and wealthy. Most of the royal family members can only provide food and clothing. It is not surprising that some are in poverty."

Yan Song said calmly that it was not unprecedented for royal family members to be impoverished. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty who farmed the land, and Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty who weaved mats and sold shoes were the most typical examples of declining royal families.
