Just an hour ago.
In the morning court.
Zhao Wang Ma Jingtao roared:
"Your Majesty, the unification of Nanzhou has been completed. I, this old minister, request that the empire be divided among the lands according to the ancestral system established by the late emperor to reward the meritorious officials."
King Wu Liu Ye, dressed in a Taoist robe, gently stroked his goatee:
"King Zhao is absolutely right!"
"Your Majesty, although the old lands of the four kingdoms have been stabilized, the people of our Great Zhou may cause chaos again."
"This old minister is willing to be stationed in one of these places to guard the border for the Great Zhou."
"King Wu is right!" King Yin of Chu also looked at the Tianning Empresses with eagle eyes, "I am also willing to go to the old lands of the four kingdoms to guard them and safeguard the stability of the Great Zhou."
Prince of Yan Yue Bu Ren, who was wearing women's clothing, glared at Prince of Wei Pu Jie.
The fat man was shocked and came out immediately:
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Yan and I are willing to guard this place together and help the Great Zhou."
Empress Tianning's expression was extremely cold.
She could see it.
These five princes had obviously discussed this long ago.
There must be other deals behind the willingness of the King of Yan and the King of Wei to garrison in the same place.
They are here today to force the emperor to abdicate!
Although in terms of strength.
The five of them combined are not as good as Empress Tianning.
But they considered themselves to be veterans who had fought for the Great Zhou for over a hundred years.
The great contributions they have made are enough for them to make some demands.
If Empress Tianning does not agree, the meritorious officials will certainly be disappointed.
This will also have a negative impact on the future rule of the Great Zhou.
Even though both the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Anguo stood up.
They moved out because the Great Zhou had just unified the country and household registration and management were not completely smooth.
It is not the right time to strive for enfeoffment now.
But the five princes came prepared.
The five of them knelt down at the same time and said:
"Your Majesty, please don't let this old minister's heart down!"
Zhao Wang Ma Jingtao roared:
"Your Majesty, we fought for the Great Zhou for over a hundred years before we unified Nanzhou!"
"Your Majesty, you must not abandon the ancestral system of the previous emperor and chill the hearts of the meritorious officials!"
Empress Tianning suddenly felt a headache.
This is the difficult problem her father left her!
Emperor Tianyuan fought his way up from a single city to one of the five great empires.
This feudal system did play a very important role!
Including these five princes.
They are willing to follow Emperor Tianyuan in order to become the king of a region!
It can take a long time to develop.
These five fiefdoms have become a difficult problem that is difficult to get rid of.
Among the million-strong army that pacified the world, each prince contributed 150,000 troops.
If it weren't for Empress Tianning's strength, which surpassed the five great princes...
If everyone didn't want to unify the world first, make the pie bigger, and share more benefits...
These five princes might really rebel against the Great Zhou and establish their own kingdoms!
now.
The combined area of the four old lands is larger than the land of the Great Zhou.
If it was divided like this.
Perhaps there will be no trouble in Empress Tianning's life.
But after Lu Shilin succeeded to the throne, it was hard to say.
The King of Qin does not have the powerful strength of his sister, and cannot suppress this group of princes!
Besides.
Even Lu Shilin's life is over.
What about the future of the Great Zhou?
As generations passed, the relationship between the central empire and the feudal empires would inevitably become increasingly weak.
When the time comes.
Nanzhou will only return to the era of war among the five countries.
The feudal system is a plan that will bring disaster to the future, and Empress Tianning would never agree to it.
Emperor Tianyuan implemented the feudal system at that time just to win over more talents!
Sharing the world's gimmicks together can indeed achieve this.
Now.
This system is no longer suitable!
But once the five princes are rejected, once the Ministry of War has compiled a list of surviving soldiers, the five princes will definitely take back their troops.
They returned to their fiefdom.
There is land and there are soldiers!
More resentment!!
When the time comes.
The decrees of the Great Zhou Dynasty could not achieve national unification.
If Empress Tianning wants the Five Kings to obey...
Apart from the feudal system, violence is the only remaining means.
With her strength, it would be easy to kill the five kings!
But by then.
Someone will definitely use this as an opportunity to start a rebellion.
All the soldiers of the Great Zhou will face the situation of fighting among themselves.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou were disheartened, and the people also suffered.
The Great Zhou Empire will also be riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse...
Empress Tianning looked in the direction of the Duke of Zhenguo.
She was looking for the figure behind Lin Qu that made her feel at ease.
But this figure hasn't come back yet!
“Chi~~~!”
suddenly.
The female minister who had been hiding behind the scenes appeared in the court:
"Your Majesty, the Empress, a demon's white coffin has been discovered in Quna City!"
"Um???"
Empress Tianning immediately looked up:
"Is the news true?"
"Absolutely true, there are also handwritings that look like those of Xuanyu Immortal!"
“Buzz~~!”
In just a moment, Empress Tianning disappeared.
The five princes were stunned on the spot.
If it is other reasons.
They will definitely think that Empress Tianning is running away.
But it involves the Daoyan Emperor who scares them...
They believed that this was no joke.
besides.
They had heard about the Immortal Xuanyu a long time ago.
