Chapter 2793
The decline of the King De’s lineage had already been clearly indicated more than 20 years ago. The continuous natural disasters and military chaos in the Central Plains have inevitably affected Jinan Mansion. Most of it.
In 1639, when the Qing army invaded Shandong and conquered Jinan Mansion, they even ransacked King De's mansion. If the old King De hadn't arranged for some of his family members to flee when he saw the situation was not good, I'm afraid that the entire blood of King De would be ruined. In that war too.
In the following ten years, De Wangfu has been in a very difficult situation.On the one hand, the imperial court could no longer continue to distribute salaries to the palace, and on the other hand, the land under the name of Prince De's palace had almost become wasteland, and the harvest was quite meager.De Wangfu often needs to sell the few remaining family properties in order to barely make ends meet.
Although it has the name of a palace, the standard of living has nothing to do with the identity of the royal family, and it is even far inferior to the powerful gentry in the Denglai area at the same time.By the time Zhu Zian left Jinan to seek refuge in Haihan, the palace was left with nothing but an empty shelf.
As long as they can barely survive, De Wangfu probably will not give up their dignity as a descendant of the royal family and choose to cooperate with Haihan.Of course, the De Wang Mansion also understands that what Hai Han likes is not the talents of the Wang Mansion's children, but the crumbling signboard of the De Wang Mansion and the political value hidden behind the signboard.
Although De Wang's family has become a run-down nobleman and is no longer on the Ming court's attention list, with the help of Haihan, they soon got the chance to make a comeback.
According to Chen Yixin's instructions, the Northern Region paid for the partial reconstruction of the old and disrepaired palace, so that the Dewang Palace could regain its former glory.
At the same time, the Dewang Mansion obtained the right to operate most of the Haihan products in Shandong and North China. A large number of goods were transported to Jinan Mansion by land and the Yellow River, and then sold to surrounding places through the hands of the Dewang Mansion.
The income generated during this process is much higher than the thousands of acres of land that De Wangfu relied on in the past, and it is all cash flow. It does not need to wait for the long planting period and harvest period to see the income like agricultural products.
During this period, Prince De's Mansion did not conceal its "friendly relationship" with Haihan officials, and even followed Chen Yixin's instructions, and took the initiative to disclose the arrangements for the children of the Prince's Mansion to go to Haihan to study and take the exam.Although public opinion has mixed opinions on this, anyone with a discerning eye can realize that at this time, the Palace of King De and the Ming court are no longer of one mind.
Rich, powerful and backed, De Wang's mansion re-emerged at an astonishingly fast pace, and in just a few months it became an admirable prince and nobleman again.And the officials, businessmen and gentry in the Shandong area seemed to suddenly remember the traditional friendship with De Wangfu. For a while, the Wangfu was full of people and bustling.
In this era of the decline of the Ming court and the rise of Haihan, how to stand in the right position is a difficult test for many people.And the position of De Wangfu seems to have become a new example, showing everyone how the vested interests of the previous dynasty can smoothly transition to the new dynasty.
Of course, this is not a skill that everyone can learn, but it allows those who want to enter the door but are unwilling to find someone to emulate and curry favor with. After all, it is relatively simple to deal with De Wangfu. After a good relationship, it will be easier to get through Haihan channel over there.
Of course, if it was only to this extent, even if the capital got the news, they would probably just turn a blind eye and close their eyes, and would not intervene in the affairs of Prince De's Mansion.After all, the Ming court had already surrendered to Haihan at this time, and there were countless people across the country eager to jump ship to curry favor with the new master, and one more or one less De Wangfu would not affect the overall situation.
But at this juncture, news spread from Jiangnan and Liaodong at the same time that the children of Prince Youde took part in the imperial examination organized by Haihan, and all achieved very impressive results, only one step away from becoming an official in Haihan.
De Wang's Mansion cooperates with Haihan to do business to make money, that's all right, after all, people die for money, and birds die for food, and the Ming court has already stopped the salary of De Wang's Mansion, so it is reasonable for them to try to make a living.Ming Ting's laissez-faire to Prince De's Mansion was somewhat guilty.
But Prince De's younger brother went to take the imperial examination held by Haihan, and also became an official in Haihan, which was beyond the tolerance limit of the Ming court.
Of course, the Ming court could not protest to Haihan about this, as doing so would not yield any results other than humiliating oneself.Therefore, the direction of the sanctions can only be aimed at the Prince De's Mansion. Since some people want to work for the enemy who destroyed their own country, they can only be reduced to civilians first, so as to at least save the royal family's face.
Of course, the deeper purpose of the Ming court may be to cut off Haihan's use of Dewang's family in advance.Otherwise, Haihan will support a puppet regime completely controlled by him in Shandong, and coerce the emperor to order the princes, then the orthodox royal family in the capital will become the real target of being deposed.
Someone sent news to Prince De's Mansion. There is still controversy within the Ming court, so this solution is still in the discussion stage.Naturally, Prince De's Mansion did not dare to neglect this, and while sending people to the capital to lobby, they reported this to Chen Yixin for assistance.
Recently, Dewang Mansion heard that Bex, a high-ranking official of the Executive Committee, was on a tour to the north, and it was said that Bex had already met Zhu Zian in Hangzhou, and it was somewhat of a favor, so he quickly sent Huo Mingxian to Qingdao Port to ask to see Bex, hoping to win more here. One point of help.
Although Bai Kesi understood the purpose of Huo Mingxian's visit, he was not in a hurry to express his opinion.He couldn't listen to one side's story about the situation at Jinan De Palace. The safest way was to wait for the meeting with Chen Yixin before making a decision on how to take countermeasures.
"The cooperation between our country and the Prince's Mansion has always been in charge of the northern region. When I arrive in Dengzhou and meet with Chen Yixin, I will discuss how to help the Prince's Mansion overcome this difficulty." Bex gave out without haste. reply.
But this answer, to the ears of the person concerned, is probably no different from practicing Tai Chi.Huo Mingxian quickly persuaded again: "Master Bai, I'm afraid we won't have to wait too long for this matter. If the capital makes an order, it will only take two days to expedite the transmission to Jinan Mansion. By then, it will be done, and the matter will be difficult!"
Bai Kesi said: "Since your prince chooses to cooperate with our country, he should not care about the will of the capital. I don't need to explain this truth?"
Of course, Bai Kesi also knew that this kind of answer could not solve the other party's problem, and immediately continued: "The capital has issued an order, so the royal residence can not accept it, or let the order disappear on the way... In short, there are many ways to make the order invalid. , I think this should not be a problem. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if this decree is really made to cut down the feudal clan, no matter how it is cut now, it will have to be given back in the future."
