"As my princes, they all have the right to choose their own way of life, and if even the prince doesn't have the right to choose his own way of life, then it's better to be an ordinary person. ”

Li Quan is right, there are not no such strange emperors in history.

Song Huizong, who invented the thin gold body, said that he was a generation of calligraphy and painting, and there was absolutely no problem, but his level of governance would not be flattering, otherwise there would be no shame of Jingkang.

There are also carpenter emperors of the Ming Dynasty and so on, this kind of emperor, if they are ordinary people, their achievements may not be low, but as emperors, they are misleading the country and the people.

"And among the princes, no one can guarantee that there will be some disobedient and unfilial piety, greedy for pleasure. Speaking of this, Li Quan became extremely serious.

Then he said: "Out of consideration for the subjects of the empire in the future fiefdom, these princes will not get the fief, but they are my children after all, and I will not treat them badly. ”

"Therefore, I plan to set up a prince fund, and these princes who cannot get the fief or give up the fief can receive a generous living allowance from the prince fund every year, which is enough for them to get drunk on money, fulfill their dreams, and live the life they want to live. Li Quan's words shocked the ministers below.

Your Majesty is too open, right?

However, I have to say that if it is really dealt with in this way, it is not a good way.

The ministers nodded one after another: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Li Quan smiled: "Do you have anything else to add, or suggestions?"

Shang Shu of the Ministry of Finance jumped out and asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder if this prince fund is from the royal family or the Ministry of Finance and the royal family together?"

"You money junkie, don't worry, my child, it's not enough to need the empire to raise you. Li Quan scolded with a smile.

The minister didn't mean that, he just wanted to figure it out. The Ministry of Finance Shangshu hurriedly explained.

Your Majesty must not be misunderstood, otherwise it will not be good.

Liu Ming stood up again and asked: "Your Majesty, there is something that the minister doesn't quite understand, whether this is divided into princes, who will decide, whether Your Majesty will decide according to his own wishes, or will a new agency be established to be responsible?"

"What does the general mean is that I will be partial because of my own preferences?" Li Quan questioned.

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister knows that even if there is only a family with two children, the parents can't do a bowl of water, not to mention that there will be a lot of princes in the future, although Your Majesty is extremely holy, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no situation where emotions are swayed, and in the future, whether Your Majesty's heir still has Your Majesty's Shengming, for the eternal survival of the empire, the minister must say. Liu Ming said, and then knelt down directly.

Zhang Xian looked at His Majesty's face with anger, and hurriedly stood up and put out the fire and said: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, the general is also thinking about the future of the empire, he has no selfish intentions, please see your Majesty." ”

"Hmph!" Li Quan didn't know.

It's just that for so many years, he has been accustomed to flattery, and the sudden confrontation made him a little unhappy, but he quickly suppressed this nameless fire, and after the return of reason, Li Quan knew that what Liu Ming said was right.

"Get up, I know that you are all dedicated to your country. Li Quan waved his hand.

"I plan to set up a new institution: the Imperial Academy, and it will be supervised by the most advanced artificial intelligence, and every prince will start learning at the age of 6 and reach adulthood at the age of 16, and in this ten years, they will get a comprehensive score. ”

"After reaching adulthood at the age of 16, I will arrange them to go to the grassroots level for five years of training, no one is allowed to give them any help, otherwise they will be severely punished, everything will go according to the normal process, through five years of long-term investigation, and finally artificial intelligence and artificial two kinds of scoring, to get the sum of the scores. ”

"At the age of 16, the score before reaching adulthood accounts for 20%, and the second five years account for 80%, you can get the total score of all the princes, the total score is 100 points, and the ranking is based on this total score, which is the order of the heirs. ”

When the ministers heard this, they nodded, this is a good way, every prince has a chance, as long as they are willing to work hard.

"How to determine the specific score, the detailed situation will be handed over to the Imperial Academy, and when they formulate the first draft, they will take it to the court for discussion and come up with the final assessment plan. ”

"My eldest son, who was supposed to be the crown prince, has lost his position as the crown prince now, and must compensate him, and in the future, all the eldest son will get an extra twenty points, and the son-in-law will get an extra ten points. ”

"This is my compensation, if you can't add 20 points to compare to my other princes, he can only blame himself for being at the bottom of the ranking. ”

When the ministers below heard this, they also took it for granted, and even Zhang Xian nodded.

Add an extra twenty points, which is really high, and he believes that his great-great-grandson is a very intelligent person, and there must be no problem.

"The judging standard line of whether the outer seal is sixty points, this is the qualified line, only the prince who reaches or even exceeds sixty points is eligible for the outer seal, and those who fail are not qualified to be sealed. ”

"Of course, qualified princes, if they don't like it, they want their own life and don't have time to manage the fiefdom, they can either find someone to help manage it, or they can voluntarily give it up, this is their own right. Li Quan finally said.

There aren't many people who should give up voluntarily.

Unless stupid.

With a fiefdom, you can't do it yourself, you can hire powerful people to help manage it, and if you give up, you won't have a chance to regret it later.

"If you have anything else to add to these thoughts, you can put forward any bad points. Li Quan said.

Zhang Xian came out again and asked: "Your Majesty, the minister still has a question, since there is no prince, what should be the title of the first heir?"

Li Quan thought for a while, organized his own language and replied:

"The first heir in line is the king of Qin, the first ten heirs in line are all one-word princes, and the next ten are two-character princes, and the princes are only my princes, and my brothers and their descendants can be crowned as heirs, and the foreign surnames can be crowned as county kings, and the princes are in the third class. ”

The prince is the most noble, the second heir, and the last county king, if there is a need in the future, you can also subdivide on the basis of this three-level level, such as the first-class heir king, the second-class heir king and the like, but it is absolutely not allowed to skip the ranks.

When the ministers heard this, they were already very happy, and the foreign surname was not allowed to be crowned king, which was something they had expected a long time ago, but they didn't expect that now they could be crowned kings.

Although he is only the lowest county king, the status of the prince is still very desirable.

Under the prince is the duke, the duke of the New Tang Empire is divided into the duke, the county duke, the county duke, the current New Tang Empire to reach the duke is only Li Quan's younger brother Li Li, the duke of Wei.

Under the duke is the marquis, which is also the highest title among the masses, respectively, the general Liu Ming and the elder Zhang Xian are the marquis, which is still because of the merits of the year.

Under the marquis is the earl, the current number of counts in the empire is also very small, only six people, one is the seal of the flat by merit points exchange, only the name of the earl, there is no extra points to exchange for fiefs for the time being, and two are because of the previous war, because of the war merits, the fiefs are on Penglai Island.
