"Appoint Lin Che as the Great King of a Different Surname! Hereditary King!"
Jiang Li's voice was calm, but his tone revealed an unquestionable tone!
What she said was an imperial decree!
The royal family members present were all shocked. They wanted to refute, but they felt a little lacking in confidence. After all, Lin Che's achievements were enough to open a chapter in history.
"Your Majesty, we have never had the precedent of enthroning a king of a different surname..." After a while, a prince spoke up to remind.
"There's no precedent for this, but I've created this one! If anyone else achieves half the merits of the Champion Marquis, I'll make him a King of a Different Surname."
Jiang Li glanced around and all the members of the royal family lowered their heads.
Is there another one like him in the world today?
"Your Majesty, a king of a different surname must have a fiefdom. This fiefdom..."
Jiang Li did not answer immediately this time, but paused before speaking:
"Seal off the entire Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!"
"What???"
All the royal family members stood up with a bang, their faces full of shock.
Everyone's eyes widened, as if they had heard it wrong.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that we should give him the entire Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun? What about us?"
"Your Majesty, he is a minister of our Da Gan. We enfeoffed him, protected him, and provided him with military pay. Now, with our help, he has conquered several states. Our Da Gan has made great contributions to this."
"That's right. If Yanyun Country hadn't feared my might and surrendered long ago, we wouldn't have been able to take it down with just the Shenji Camp."
"What about our Black Armor Army? Wen Hong has also made a lot of contributions, right? Sixteen States, no, no, no."
"Your Majesty, please think twice. We can agree to confer him the title of King of a Different Surname, but if we give him all sixteen states, wouldn't that be like just another 'Duke Zhaowu'? The title will be hereditary, and from now on, it will belong to Lin Che for generations to come..."
Jiang Li looked at the kneeling royal family members and nodded thoughtfully.
"My Lords, what you said is absolutely true!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice. These sixteen states... Hmm? Your Majesty, what did you say?"
The royal family was stunned again. They had thought Jiang Li would definitely argue for his point. They had already thought of their rebuttal.
But Jiang Li listened to it immediately.
What does this mean?
Jiang Li pondered and said, "Since you don't agree, then I will put the matter of enfeoffing a king of a different surname on hold for now."
"Haha, Your Majesty is wise!!"
"There's really no need for us royals to bow down to others. After all, Lin Che is just a subject. We must not let him become complacent."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Seventh Uncle, I plan to give Yingzhou to you. You can recruit soldiers to garrison it..."
"ah??"
The "Seventh Uncle" royal family member was stunned. Why did His Majesty suddenly lower his status and start addressing him as a relative? Moreover, he didn't even use "Zhen" anymore, and just called himself "I".
What does this mean?
However, if Yingzhou was given to him, wouldn't he also be crowned king?
"Your Majesty, this, this... Hehe, then I have no choice but to obey your order. Your Majesty is wise."
"Second Master, Thirteenth Uncle, and my two cousins, there's no need to be jealous. You can also choose a state and run it with your family. From now on, whether it's garrisoning troops or appointing and dismissing officials, both large and small, you will handle it yourselves..."
The several royal family members who were named showed joy on their faces.
He immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.
I never thought that His Majesty was so wise. They had their own fiefdoms and full authority over everything. It was like a country within a country.
Moreover, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are so far away from Dagan that it is truly a case of the emperor being far away from the mountains.
They have the power to recruit soldiers and station troops, so they can openly maintain their own military power.
"Your Majesty, I am old and have not made any contribution in many years. I am truly unworthy of such a divine grace. I beg Your Majesty to withdraw your divine order and allow me to stay in Tiandu to share your worries."
At this time, the old prince suddenly knelt down and loudly declined the reward.
This group of royal family members have always followed the old prince's lead. They were all stunned. Why would the old prince refuse at this time?
This is not right!
"Old Prince, what are you doing..." "Seventh Uncle" beside him asked in a low voice, wanting to know why?
The old prince glanced at them and sighed, "Nothing. I just feel that I'm old, and a state is not that easy to manage. If an external enemy invades, we will naturally have to fight them on the battlefield. Haha, my old bones can't kill them."
"Old Prince, who said you're going to the battlefield yourself? Don't you have any generals under your command who can kill the enemy? Besides, who in the world would dare to send troops to our Dagan now? Do you want to die if you dare to challenge our Dagan?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire imperial study fell into dead silence.
You can hear a pin drop.
A figure suddenly appeared in their minds...
Is it true that no one dares to send troops against them?
have! !
Moreover, it is definitely something that people like them cannot afford to offend.
Although they didn't want to admit it, they all knew in their hearts who the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun belonged to now.
If they were to rush over and take their troops and families to carve up the Sixteen States, who would they be provoking?
When the time comes, will they be able to withstand the wrath of the heavens?
How to top??
Relying on the troops they lead and the few I recruited myself? Is 50,000 enough? Is 100,000 enough? Does 500,000 feel safe?
hiss--
The royal family members present suddenly felt a chill on their backs.
Your Majesty suddenly became so easy to talk to and even gave them fiefdoms. It turned out that he wanted them to explore the way and be scapegoats.
