Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

"Mrs. Qu, are what you said going too far?"

At this time, Zhu Biao really felt that even if the descendants of future generations did some evil deeds, they should not reach the level that no princes or princes in the past dynasties had done to the people as much as your descendants.

He seriously suspected that the white parrot was inherently biased.

But Qu Jie was not used to him and immediately sneered:

"If you don't believe it, then I'll pick out a few paragraphs and talk about it.

King Gong Zhu of Jin Dynasty, one day without incident, surrounded the village with troops and horses and massacred more than [-] innocent families. The cruelty was particularly extreme. He often fed vicious dogs for pleasure in biting people. If the dogs did not bite people, they would kill them. The child was bitten by dogs, and many people died.

King Gu seized people's fields and invaded public taxes. Yu Tinggang, the royal palace chief, remonstrated with him, but he falsely accused Tinggang of slandering him and had him killed.

The eldest son of King Jing, Zhu Jianjun, starved to death of his mother.

Yingyao, the eldest son of the King of Chu, was punished by his father. He was angry and collaborated with the envoys to kill his father with a copper melon during the banquet.

......"

There were so many evildoers in the Ming dynasty that it would be difficult to list them all. How could there be any vassal that did not do evil?

That's a rare thing.

Every time Qu Jie said something, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, and Zhu Biao was also horrified. It was unimaginable that the descendants of the Zhu family would produce so many vassal kings who were not human beings.

“I have committed so many sins that I cannot explain them.

Next, let’s talk about tax collection. Every time there is a disaster, the emperor will reduce or reduce taxes and even provide disaster relief. However, the vassal king will not exempt even a cent of the land rent. Taking Prince Lu’s Mansion as an example, not only does the land rent not be exempted, but the land rent is also increased. Pai Yejia, instead of torture, imposed punishments on people who failed to pay taxes, such as being nailed to a coffin alive, being tortured to death, being strangled to death, and having their shins broken.

"Records of Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty" records that the Prince's Palace of Shu occupies [-]% of the arable land in Shu, and the government occupies another [-]%. The Mu family, the Duke of Guizhou, occupies nearly half of the land south of Caiyun.

Wherever the Zhu family vassal king is located.

There will be no less land occupation.

There is plenty of land in the world, but the feudal lords and nobles do not pay taxes. Who do you think has to bear the taxes? "

"During the Jiajing period, the annual grain provided to the capital was 400 million shi, but the amount of rice offered to the vassal kings reached 850 million shi. By the Wanli period, the national land tax revenue was only 300 million shi. The supply to the feudal prince and clan accounts for half of it. Do you think it can support the national expenses?

In all dynasties, no vassal king has done as much harm as Ming.

No matter how ruthless the corrupt officials are, most of them only do corruption secretly and do evil secretly. On the surface, they still give porridge during disaster years and maintain their good reputation, but the vassal king does evil openly and openly.

No one dares to control, no one punishes.

The common people hated them to the core. Every time the peasant rebels invaded a city in the late Ming Dynasty, they would first kill all the vassal kings surnamed Zhu. The retribution would be on your ancestors, that is, the Fengyang ancestral graves would be dug up! "

Speaking of this, Qu Jie didn't mean to take pleasure in the misfortune, and even felt panicked in her heart. Of course, it was not because the ancestral graves of the old Zhu family were being dug up, but because of the countless people who were killed by the Zhu family vassal king. All the officials were evil, and there were also Rule of law, the vassal king does evil and is lawless and blameless!

Therefore, in many places during the Ming Dynasty, history was reversed.

No problem at all.

Even though the Han Dynasty cracked the earth and sealed the king, not many Han Dynasty princes and kings were as perverted as the Ming Dynasty vassal kings. It is not known whether there is a genetic problem, or it was caused by various restrictions and surveillance, and they became perverted in silence.

"How is it possible? How could this happen? Are those feudal kings crazy? How dare they? The clan government just doesn't care. How can they be allowed to cause harm to the people like that?"

Zhu Biao had already started to cover his heart.

The excitement is too great to imagine...

"Oh, didn't your second brother become Zongzheng of the clan later on? When his evil deeds became known to the public, you seemed to have taken care of him, but your control was probably to protect him.

If you don't say it anymore, you'll be pissed off if you say it again.

You go, I don’t want to see your Zhu family today, go quickly, don’t force me to see off the guests in person! "

After recalling so many bad things, Qu Jie could no longer talk to the two guys from the Zhu family calmly, so she immediately started seeing off guests and driving them away.

Zhu Yuanzhang was seen sitting still.

Qu Jie immediately sent them out together with a chair and closed the door.

……

Qianqing Palace

"Biao'er, tell me if I'm wrong.

Could it be that a large number of my descendants ended up becoming the biggest cancer of the Ming Dynasty..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was really hit. Not only was he not as angry as before, he was very depressed at this time, and he probably began to doubt his life.

He didn't know whether to believe what the white parrot said.

But so far, he has indeed not found any lies from White Parrot, but it is really hard for him to accept that his descendants have become the biggest burden to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

He just wanted to make life better for future generations.

But why did it become like that?

"Father, I think it's better to spend more money and let that parrot tell the history of the Ming Dynasty in detail, or directly tell the history of the Ming Dynasty. Nowadays, it's so easy to listen to things like a hammer and a stick. , in many places, the feeling is difficult to understand.

If only we could know the complete context of Ming history.

Maybe you can know the ups and downs and find out the key to the problem.

Then solve the problem in a targeted manner. "

At this time, Zhu Biao deeply felt that the more information he heard from Qu Jie, the more questions he would have in his mind. The main reason was that they were only looking at the leopard in a tube, and were blind to the elephant, and had not been able to see the entire history of the Ming Dynasty.

If only I could read the entire history of the Ming Dynasty.

Many questions have logic and cause and effect.

It wouldn't be like this now. Although I was extremely angry, I didn't know why things turned out like that. It had no other effect than just causing trouble.

"I won't ask anymore. It's up to you to ask about the complete content of Ming history. Also, Xiaowu has been handed over to you. You go and take him to become a disciple, and at the same time ask him to keep it a secret. I'm tired. You should go back to the East Palace first."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little listless when he spoke.

With a wave of his hand, he sent Zhu Biao away.

Then he sat alone, and the more he thought about it, the more irritated he became. He felt that there were too many problems. Now he not only had to consider the problems that needed to be dealt with now, but also the problems in the future, decades or even hundreds of years from now.

The prime minister has been beheaded by him.

I wanted to find someone to discuss it with, but there was no one to discuss it with.

In the end, he could only force himself not to think about the future and how many sins his future descendants had done, so he finally managed to fall asleep.

And I had a nightmare after falling asleep.

He dreamed about his childhood, about the end of the Yuan Dynasty, about those who had oppressed him, slowly turning into his descendants, about Zhu Ping robbing the last acre of his family's land, and eventually starving his family to death in January. Four people.

I dreamed of countless innocent souls asking for their lives.

And in an instant, he came to the end of Ming Dynasty and saw the clan being slaughtered.

He had been struggling in the nightmare for a long time. It was not until the sky became slightly clear that he suddenly woke up with a cold sweat.

Qu Jie didn't do anything in this regard.

It’s just that I think about it during the day and dream about it at night.
