Chapter 564: Don’t harm others or yourself (monthly vote)
The Dong E family's lawsuit was temporarily put on hold because of Peng Chun's funeral.
The Guo Luoluo family's lawsuit cannot be delayed any longer.
Prince Jian had just been promoted to Zongling and had to deal with this matter.
He somewhat understood why Prince Xin was so "mediocre". If he were capable, he would probably offend others...
But Prince Xin was happy to live his life, but he was not.
Originally, their branch was far away from the royal bloodline. If they couldn't do more, there would be no place for them in the clan.
Starting from Emperor Taizu, to Emperor Taizong and Emperor Shizu to the present day, they are all people who "employ nepotism".
He did not take matters into his own hands and went to Qianqing Palace for instructions.
Kangxi couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and said, "What on earth is going on?"
Prince Jian had previously accompanied his army on a tour to the south, and had only arrived in Beijing in the past few days.
The information in hand was all investigated and compiled by Beizi Sunu before.
He did not conceal Sunu's contribution and said: "Sunu Beizi has found out clearly that Bafujin's complaint was not made out of thin air. The Guo Luoluo family does have many properties that they cannot match."
The Eight Banners had a custom of dividing their families when their sons grew up, but that was an ordinary family.
Dear noble family, it is better to divide them later.
Especially since the situation in Guo Luoluo's family was a little different at that time.
The head of the family at that time was Duo Luo E Nei Duo.
He died hastily, as Ming Shang had just become a man at that time and had not yet got married.
The eldest son Ming Deng was the son of Nei Duo and his wife, the County Lord, but the County Lord died young.
Then Neituo gave birth to a son, Ming Shang, by his side wife.
Ming Deng is the legitimate son of his original wife and the grandson of Abatai, King of Raoyu County. He is a well-deserved heir to the title.
But Ming Shang is not an ordinary concubine, he is equivalent to a legitimate son. He is also engaged to the daughter of Prince An Yue Le, and will be the future consort of Heshuo.
There was no division of the family in Ming Deng. It was only after the brother's resignation and the younger brother's wedding that the ancestral property in Ming Dynasty was equally divided.
"I don't know how Ba Fujin remembered it. He asked people to check the Mingdeng family's properties and found that many of them were established more than 20 years ago, but they were only in the name of Mrs. Mingdeng... Mrs. Mingdeng was the head of the town. Although Gongguogai was the only daughter, there was a daughter of a noble family, but the situation of that branch was not very good at that time, the dowry was not generous, and there were many things that were not right here and there...Bafujin sued Mingdeng for transferring the property. …”
When it comes to this, Prince Jian is also at a loss for words.
These additional industries are all produced by Xianglanqi.
He is the legitimate son of Amin Beile, and he lives in the same room as Ai Duli.
That is also a relative of Prince Jian's family.
Prince Jian did not hide this relationship and said: "I never thought that someone would dare to bully my ancestors and descendants to this extent. It's not other people who are bullying me, but my in-laws..."
The Nei Duo family and A Min's branch are also married. His eldest sister-in-law is A Min's second daughter, and his eldest daughter-in-law is betrothed to A Min's granddaughter.
Although this branch is far away and is not a descendant of Taizu, Kangxi was really impressed by this branch.
Isn’t that Jiu Fujin’s maternal ancestral home?
It’s also the Fusong family of the ninth elder brother’s house...
Because the clan has been abolished, it is impossible to fill the vacancies in flags and clan.
For this reason, he also planned to draw people's attention to the situation of the defunct clan, but his southern tour was later delayed.
"It has been verified clearly. It is indeed the property of Ai Duli's branch?"
Kangxi asked with a frown.
Prince Jian nodded and said: "Indeed, there are a total of two Haidian Villages, two Daxing Villages, one Baoding Dazhuang, two rent-collecting shops in Dongsi Archway, and one Sanjin House in Chongwenmen..."
Prince Jian said with distress.
Their relatives haven't intervened yet, but they have let their in-laws who have turned around get the property.
Because Haidian Zhuangzi and Daxing Zhuangzi are in the suburbs, land prices have been very high in recent years. Especially in Haidian, because the emperor built the imperial garden, the nobles of the clan followed suit, and the land price doubled.
Although Kangxi didn't like the Eight Fortune Jin Dynasty, he couldn't stand the Guo Luoluo family's attempt to seize the property of the deceased clan.
"Dispose according to law!"
Kangxi made the final decision.
Prince Jian hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, if you follow the law, even if this property is redistributed, it will only be distributed to the two concubines of Ming Shang..."
If he can't get into the hands of Ba Fujin, a married woman, Ba Fujin might not be willing to give up.
Kangxi frowned even more and said: "Bafujin is a female, and it is difficult to deal with official affairs. You can let Babeile litigate on behalf of his wife!"
After hearing this, Prince Jian immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I obey the order."
It was getting late that day, so I dropped the matter.
The next day, Prince Jian sent someone to invite the eighth prince to the clan mansion...
You know, the old and young men of the Eight Banners are all idle, and how many people are waiting to watch the fun.
One belongs to the Dong E family of Zhenghong Banner, and the other belongs to the Guo Luoluo family of Zhenglan Banner.
The specious one at the front is a bit off.
The latter one is quite true.
As Shengjia returns to Luang, everyone is waiting to see the outcome of the two lawsuits.
Then, Peng Chun passed away.
The Dong E family's lawsuit has been quiet again.
Just when everyone was disappointed, the Guo Luoluo family's lawsuit started here.
Not to mention others, even Shu Shu and Brother Jiu were very concerned.
Brother Jiu asked: "What on earth is Ba Fujin thinking? Is she still clinging to the behavior of a legitimate daughter and a concubine, thinking she can fight for it?"
If you are a virgin, you can still fight for a share. If you are already married, why fight?
If we really have to fight, what is reasonable will become unreasonable, and outsiders will think that she is using her identity as the prince Fujin to embezzle her family's property.
Shu Shu thinks this may not be the case.
Perhaps Bafujin had this idea at the beginning, but later Prince An also explained to her clearly the distribution of the industry.
If what the Ming Deng couple did was the princess's dowry, then Ba Fujin could get it back; if it was ancestral property, it really had nothing to do with her.
It's more like venting anger randomly.
Is this because she resents her uncle and her aunt for not making the decision for her? Or is her makeup too thin?
Shu Shu felt that she couldn't figure out Bafujin's brain circuit.
Every time the tenth elder brother came back from the clan mansion, he would come over and tell the ninth elder brother and his wife the progress.
"The clan government is asking people from the household department to appraise properties one by one. They are all good properties that you can't buy even if you are waiting in line. It's a pity that it has been so many years..."
The tenth elder brother also knew that these properties belonged to Jiufujin’s maternal family.
But there is no way now.
Nei Duo has been gone for almost thirty years, and property transfer was also a normal procedure at that time.
When the lawsuit is settled, even if Ming Deng spits out these properties, they will only be distributed to the two concubine brothers of Ba Fu Jin.
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "This is simply unreasonable. Wouldn't it be given to Neduo's children and grandchildren, giving him an advantage? It is said to be a serious business, but is there any other proof? How did you get so much money, how did you trade it, the middleman
There will be no trace of who it is..."
When he said this, the tenth prince was stunned and said: "Xu is the family's money? Is Neduo the princess's son or the princess's grandson? The dowry of two generations of princesses, Neiduo's wife is also the emperor's grandson and the county princess...
…”
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "After entering the customs, the princess's dowry became richer. In the past, it was all known and could be found on the list. Most of it was daily necessities or gold and silver jewelry. It is not like the extravagant weddings now.
…”
Having said this, he glanced at Shu Shu and remembered that when he inspected the Ministry of Internal Affairs years ago, there was an "unknown source of property."
Neder has been dead for more than twenty years, but the Minden couple are still here.
The Minden couple are also over 50 years old. These properties are in the hands of the couple. It would be nonsense to say they don't know about it.
Brother Jiu couldn't sit still and said: "No, I have to tell Khan Ama that we can't judge like this. Gambling is banned by the court for only one or two days. If these industries involve gambling and their origin is unknown, then they are not suitable for inheritance."
, it’s okay to take it back to the national treasury!”
The tenth brother quickly stopped him and said: "Ninth brother, please don't get involved and don't add to the conversation!"
Shu Shu also said: "Yes, you have to avoid suspicion even if you are under melon fields and plum trees. If these properties are not my maternal family's, I used to say that it was just a matter of public interest. Since I have something to do with it, I'd better stay out of it."
Brother Jiu was unhappy and said: "You are my Fujin, why can't I favor you? There are several saints in this world, don't they all have selfish motives?"
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here.]
Shu Shu said: "But this is 'harming others but not benefiting oneself'. It will also make the emperor unhappy. If the emperor thinks that my prince Fujin is troublesome and adds trouble to me, won't we suffer a big loss?"
Brother Jiu, calm down.
Thinking of the emperor's father's temper, he had to say that what his wife said was true, indeed.
He felt vaguely strange, but said nothing in front of the tenth prince.
When only the couple were left in the evening, he said, "Aren't you very narrow-minded? Anyway, regarding matters related to the Babele Mansion, I just want to add insult to injury!"
But "harming others but not benefiting oneself" is fine, but "harming others but not benefiting oneself" is fine.
Shu Shu said: "I must be holding my breath and not letting it out, which is why I feel uncomfortable. I just need to find an opportunity to let it out later."
Brother Jiu touched his chin and said: "Bago is my elder brother. I can't repay him. Why should I keep that Yaqib? It's really stupid... That's not a good thing. I'll see you later."
We live next to each other and we have to guard against him causing mischief, so why not take care of him before we move out..."
Shu Shu heard this and felt it made sense.
Fusong has been here for many years and has been involved in internal affairs, but he can't compare to an old man like Yaqibu.
But "beating a dog depends on the owner"...
The Eight Banners are hierarchical.
It is true that the ninth elder brother is a prince, but there is no reason to go beyond his authority to discipline the eighth elder brother's servants.
When it comes time to make a fuss, he will ignore it.
Even if Yaqib treated him disrespectfully, he should still go to the eighth prince and ask him to teach him a lesson.
Last time Brother Jiu went to beat someone, and when word spread outside, more people said Brother Jiu was stingy.
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "Didn't I just mention that the source of the property is unknown? How about asking someone to investigate privately and find the evidence and hand it over to Bafujin..."
With Bafujin's temper, he would not miss that opportunity.
She also has experience in litigating cases, and knows that she can open her eyes through the clan government, which will probably make things easier for the Yaqibs.
When the time comes, Eighth Prince will not be able to protect him openly, otherwise he will be weak and ignorant, and will be controlled by his slaves.
Brother Jiu understood the key and immediately smiled and said: "That's good. Bafujin makes such a fuss, once or twice, which seems to be an advantage. In fact, Khan Ama doesn't like women to show up in public, and he will definitely dislike her even more...
…”
In this way, it is not only "killing someone with a borrowed knife", but also "killing two birds with one stone".
He looked at Shu Shu and said: "In the past year, I have listened to you talking about truth and good and evil all day long. I have forgotten the times when you were unreasonable. No wonder Guidan and I were not your height last year. You are really
Will dig holes..."
Shu Shu lowered her eyes and said: "Of course I hope that everyone in the world will be kind, and I am willing to be a good person, but I don't want to suffer when others are not kind..."
Brother Jiu held her hand and said with bared teeth: "No wonder you and I became husband and wife. It was a match made in heaven. I thought so too..."
