On the fifth day of the seventh month of the eleventh year of Zhengde, Zhu Yaoqi, the king of Jingjiang.

Zhu Jing, the son of the king of Jingjiang, was helped to the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven left the dynasty for three days, and the Ministry of Rites invited officials and officials to be in charge of funeral rites.

The Hanlin Academy wrote the memorial text, and wrote the book and epitaph; The Ministry of Works manufactured Mingjing and sent officials to build tombs; Qin Tianjian official Bu burial; Guozi supervisors, obituaries, various royal palaces, etc.

The Son of Heaven was benevolent and righteous, and authorized the princes of each royal palace to go to the palace to pay their condolences.

The coffin of the King of Jingjiang was parked in the royal palace hall in January.

The funeral ceremony was presided over by the officials of the Zongzheng and Rite Department of Zongrenfu, and there were ceremonies for one day, such as the princes of the Daming Domain, the sons of the Guogong Mansion, and the Daming Lord.

The King of Jingjiang kept the civil and military officials of the state in decline for three days, wept for five days, and served the military and civilians in the city for five days.

The county king, sons, and jun (daughter), the younger brother and uncle Qi lived for one year, and the princess of the county had a small merit.

When the moon was full, he sent King Jingjiang to be buried in the tomb of the king thirty miles outside Jingjiang City.

The Son of Heaven was benevolent, and Zhu Jingfu, the son of the king of Jingjiang, was given permission to be buried outside Jingjiang City to guard the mausoleum for his father for seven days.

The rest of the princesses of Jingjiang, the princes of the county, the sons, the princes, etc., gradually mourned and worshiped in the royal palace.

The princes of various domains, the nobles of the national dukes, the civil and military officials of the fengguo, etc., gradually mourned for three days and returned!

…………

The eleventh year of Zhengde, the tenth day of August.

That is, the fifth day of the burial of King Zhu Yaoqi of Jingjiang.

Outside the Jingjiang Royal Mansion!

“Aunt, don’t send it again, my nephew is afraid!”

“In addition, I also ask my aunt to mourn, the deceased has passed away, the living are like this, and now my cousin and cousin are still young, and I still need my aunt’s labor to protect them.”

Xu Pengju looked at Princess Jing, who was dressed in plain clothes in front of him, and came to see him off, comforting and persuading.

Frankly.

He didn’t have much impression of his cousin.

After all, after hundreds of years of development, the Xu family has long become a behemoth, and there are thousands of clansmen included in the family tree alone, how can Xu Pengju recognize it completely.

Although the princess of Jingjiang in front of her was also from the Duke of Wei’s Mansion, she was not a member of the Duke of Wei’s Mansion, but only a member of the tribe of the Wei State.

If it was really a concubine of the Duke of Guo, the Guogong Mansion would really not dare to marry into the Jingjiang Royal Mansion.

If you want to blame, the Daming royal family is too restrictive in terms of foreign qi and clan kings.

There is a “Emperor Ming Ancestral Training” stipulates: All the sons of heaven and the prince’s concubines are selected from low-level officials or ordinary people’s families through the method of selecting women, and ministers are absolutely prohibited from offering beautiful women for various reasons.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Except for Empress Xu of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, none of the concubines in the emperor’s harem came from a family of powerful people.

Even, even the princes of the various clans of the Daming Dynasty, except for the princes of the clan in the early Ming Dynasty, none of the subsequent clan princes and concubines came from the family of powerful people.

Of course, this house of magnates is talking about the concubines and daughters of the powerful families.

If there are several generations apart, it is naturally not a child of a powerful family.

Just like Princess Jing in front of her, the main vein of the Duke of Wei’s mansion is already out of three services.

In addition, although King Jingjiang was also a clan king, he was not a descendant of Emperor Ming Zhu Yuanzhang, but a nephew of Zhu Yuanzhang, who inherited Zhu Yuanzhang, and was not qualified to inherit the throne and rebel at all.

Therefore, Xu Pengju’s aunt was able to obtain permission from the imperial court to marry into the Jingjiang royal palace and become the princess of Jingjiang.

Otherwise…… Don’t even think about it.

“Well, my aunt got it.”

“Be careful on the road, and take your aunt to say hello to your grandfather.”

Princess Jing heard Xu Pengju’s comfort and persuasion, and did not insist on sending him any longer, but instead told him a thousand words.

“Don’t worry, my aunt, nephew is provincial.”

Xu Pengju nodded and replied in a deep voice.

After he finished speaking, he said goodbye to several cousins and cousins of the Jingjiang Royal Mansion one by one, and finally got into the carriage and left under the reminder of the housekeeper Qin Bo.

…………

“Jingjiang Royal Mansion!”

“King of the Daming Domain, O King of the Domain!”

Inside the carriage, Xu Pengju looked at the Jingjiang Royal Mansion that was gradually leaving, and his heart was full of different emotions.

This was the first time he had come into close contact with a king of the Daming Domain.

Although he is the king of the Daming Domain, who has already passed away.

However, this did not prevent him from sympathizing and sighing for the kings of the Daming Domain.

“It is also fortunate that he crossed into the son of the prince of the kingdom, not the son of the prince of the clan, otherwise he would have embarked on the road of rebellion in the future.”

Xu Pengju’s heart was full of rejoicing, glad that he had crossed into a prince of the country, not a prince of the Daming Domain.

He had no doubt that if he crossed over and became the son of the clan king, he would definitely embark on the road of rebellion one day in the future.

This is not to say that Xu Pengju has much ambition, or wants to change Daming, change the world, and so on.

Rather, he didn’t want to be raised as a pig, let alone be imprisoned for a lifetime.

That’s right.

The lords of the Ming Dynasty were so miserable and pitiful.

Especially the lords of the clan in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were even more pitiful and pathetic than the big white pigs raised at home.

In his previous life, Xu Pengju, like many netizens, believed that the lord of Daming was a burden and burden of the Daming Dynasty, and was one of the culprits responsible for the demise of Daming.

One by one, they would only eat and wait for death, oppress the people, and amass wealth wantonly, and they did not do anything beneficial to the Daming court at all.

However, when he really traveled to the Daming Dynasty, he really understood the Daming clan king system, and saw the tragic situation of the Daming clan king.

He realized that it was not easy for the king of the Daming Domain.

In the Ming Dynasty, the clan king was not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict, a fief without an edict, and a city without an edict.

In other words, as long as you become the lord of the Invention Domain, then you can only stay in one city for the rest of your life.

Note that it is not in your own fiefdom, but in the city where your royal palace is located.

How big was a city in ancient times?

The large ones are ten li and twenty li in circumference, and the small ones are estimated to be three or five li, and it is estimated that they are not as big as a county town in later generations.

Let you stay in a small county for the rest of your life, three or five miles away, are you willing?

The horror is that once the lord of the clan becomes a clan, then it is the death of his parents, the death of his wife, the marriage and death of his children, etc., as long as you do not have the permission of the emperor, you cannot take a step out of the city.

Such a clan king said that it was a clan, but in fact it was just to give you a bigger place and imprison you for a lifetime.

In addition, you don’t blame the kings of the Daming Domain for trying everything to accumulate wealth.

Because the Daming court still has regulations, all the descendants of the Daming royal family, princes and grandchildren of the clan, etc., are not allowed to engage in the four industries of agriculture, industry and commerce.

To put it mildly, the four industries of agriculture, industry and commerce in ancient times have almost included all aspects of ancient times.

You can’t farm, you can’t do business, you can’t be an official, you can’t even work and labor.

If the money and grain given by the imperial court to the clan royal mansion were less shortcomings, the fate of everyone in the clan royal mansion in various places can be imagined.

In this case, even if it is a stupid, stupid clan king, no far-sighted clan king.

I am afraid that they will do everything possible to save some money for their children and grandchildren, leaving a way back for their children and grandchildren.

Therefore, it is not for nothing that the kings of the Ming Dynasty wantonly amassed wealth.

Of course, if you think this is the end of it, you are very wrong.

What is the most terrifying and terrifying place about the Daming clan king system?

That is… This system of clan kings is aimed not only at the clan king himself, but also his wives and concubines, children, descendants, etc.

Not only was the clan king himself confined to the city where the clan’s palace was located all his life.

Even his wives and concubines, children, descendants, etc., were all confined in the fiefdom.

Just as the previous King of Jingjiang died, the Zhengde Emperor issued an edict to grant Zhu Jingfu, the son of the Prince of Jingjiang, to be buried outside the city for his father and allowed the tomb to be guarded for seven days.

What is a concession?

Concession means special circumstances, special permission.

When his father died, his son sent him out of the city for burial, all of which required the emperor’s permission, and only one son of King Jingjiang was chartered, and other children of King Jingjiang, together with wives and concubines, could only wait in the palace and worship in the palace.

Such a callous and inhumane system of the Daming clan.

Xu Pengju shuddered when he thought about it.

Such a king of the Daming Domain is probably not as comfortable as a rich man.
