In fact, Zhao Mo, as the eldest son of the prince of Liao, according to the rules of the imperial court, should be directly crowned as the grandson, and there is no need to seek any other titles. In the rules of the court, there is no mention of the son-in-law of the prince, if he is not a grandson, what kind of knighthood should he be.

The eldest son of the prince was established as the prince's son, and the rest of the sons were the kings of the county. The eldest son of the county king was established as the eldest son of the county king, and the rest of the sons were the generals of the feudal state. Further down, there are titles such as Auxiliary General and Fengguo General, which are decreasing in turn.

Here, there is no title for the prince's son, except for the son who is entitled to the title of grandson. Usually, this is done after the prince has inherited his father's title of prince. If the timing is not coincidental, then it can only be given to the clan knights such as the Zhenguo General and the Auxiliary General according to the degree of favor of the princes and the size of the emperor's grace. These knights are just getting some money and food from the Zongren Mansion every year, and they are decent, but when it comes to fiefdoms, it is a fantasy. Usually no one will be dissatisfied with this, because they all know that when their father becomes a prince, they can generally become the prince of the county, and there will be everything they should have. With such a big carrot hanging in front of him, who would think that the temporary knighthood is too low?

Zhao Mo wants to seek a fief, no matter how big or small, he must at least be a county king. Although the court does not have this rule for the time being, considering that if his father Zhao Shuo does not die, he will be the Prince of Liao in the future, and his sister-in-law wants to become the king of the county, it is a matter of time. Now if the emperor and the crown prince look at Zhao Mo's past merits, it is also reasonable to move the time of the king of the county forward. What's more, if he didn't give him the eldest grandson of the prince with the right name, it was enough to wronged him, and what was the big deal if he was crowned the king of the county?

Now Huang Jincheng even hinted to Zhao Mo that if he chose a slightly worse county as a fief, the resistance would be less. Anyway, he is an ambitious teenager, and there will always be a time to change to a bigger and better fief in the future.

Huang Jincheng lowered his voice and said, "If the grandson is interested, it is best to plan as soon as possible. This spring, it is almost time for a group of children in the clan to be knighted. The year before last, the youngest son of the King of Shu went to Beijing, in fact, he came for this matter. Originally, with his identity, the emperor planned to give him the title of King of Neijiang County. Neijiang is located in Shu, and the place is also large, and it is a very rich place, which is just worthy of him as the concubine of the king of Shu. It's a pity that the prince is not very happy. ”

Of course, the prince of Shu was not happy. Neijiang was originally in Shudi, and dividing such a large piece of territory to his younger brother as a fief was equivalent to cutting meat from him. Even if it is a brother born from the same mother, it does not mean that the elder brother is willing to make such a sacrifice. Of course, he didn't say anything to his face, but he didn't make small moves behind his back.

Under the hint of the eldest son, the king of Shu also began to feel that it was not cost-effective to let the younger son take Neijiang as a fief, and that it was right to let the younger son find a fief outside of Shu! The emperor's arrangement was obviously uneasy and kind! It was to take the opportunity to provoke the brotherhood of his two sons! Since the emperor was unrighteous first, it was no wonder that his brother had a different heart. It is good for his eldest son to inherit the throne of the king of Shu, and the younger son will go to take over the royal throne.

The princess of Shu not only attaches importance to the eldest son, but also feels sorry for the younger son, and also does not want the two brothers to be suspicious, so she sent a letter to the Tu family in Beijing early, asking them to help with it, and be sure to help her youngest son find a rich fief, and then use this as a springboard to enter Beijing to seek the position of imperial heir.

Huang Jincheng said to Zhao Mo: "The Queen Mother actually loves this nephew and grandson, since the young son of the King of Shu doesn't want a place close to his parents to be the king of Neijiang County, then it is better to be the king of Jurong County." Jurong is on the edge of Jinling, the place is not big, but it is quite rich, and there is the Yangtze River and Shu land. The Queen Mother chose such a place for the young son of the King of Shu, which can be regarded as well-intentioned. Jurong is the best place in the fiefdom of the new batch of knighted county kings. It's a pity that people still don't buy it. He approached Zhao Mo, "After the young son of the King of Shu went to Beijing, do you know where he picked it?

"Yongqing?" Zhao Mo was stunned, and then showed an expression of surprise, and couldn't help but repeat again, "Yongqing!"

Huang Jincheng nodded: "It is that Yongqing County, which is on the main road from Tianjin to Beijing, only more than 100 miles away from the capital, and it is an important place in Gyeonggi, and I have never heard of which vassal king will be given a fief." He would have dared to think of it!"

The area of Yongqing is far less large than that of Jurong, and it is not very rich, and it has never been regarded as a place where the vassal king is divided. The youngest son of the king of Shu plotted such a fiefdom and gave up the rich Jurong and the large Neijiang near home, what did he want? Considering the special geographical location of Yongqing County, the sinister intentions were simply known to passers-by!

Zhao Mo said coldly: "The Shu Wangfu has raised a lot of dead soldiers, if you can have a stable nest only more than a hundred miles away from Beijing, I don't know what you will do." At that time, the king of Shu only thought that his youngest son would definitely be able to enter the royal family, so sure, probably planning that if anyone dared to jump out and fight with his son without eyes, let those dead soldiers do their own to remove the obstacles, right? Moreover, Yongqing County is so close to the capital, and it can be reached in half a day. The young son of the king of Shu does not have to go to the fiefdom, he can control the people in the fiefdom, and find an excuse to serve the queen mother and fulfill his filial piety, so he can stay in Beijing. Sure enough, it's a good plan!"

Huang Jincheng smiled: "No matter how good his family's plan is, now it is in vain." The father and son of the king of Shu have all entered Beijing, and on the surface they say that they are honored, but in fact they are no different from the removal of the country? Now even the son of the king of Shu is about to lose his position, that is, he just leaves a title empty. The emperor's henchmen and courtiers have already led troops into Shu last year, and the Shu Wangfu can't become a climate. This time, the clan was knighted, and I heard that the young son of the king of Shu also had a share, but it was not Neijiang and Jurong, but Wangyang, which was in Qindi, and people wanted to stay in Beijing. However, as everyone knows, the emperor has a lot of trust in King Qin, and there is no place in Qin Land that can escape King Qin's control. What the young son of the king of Shu can get, that is, a false name and a little money and food. That's it, it's still in the face of the Queen Mother. ”

Huangyang is not a rich place, and there is a loyal Qin King who is loyal to the emperor to suppress it, even if the young son of the king of Shu is crowned the king of the county, it will not become a climate, but it will appear that the emperor is tolerant a lot, and even the queen mother has to lead the emperor's love. The youngest son of the King of Shu, a child of the clan who can use his youth and ignorance to wash his name, can get such a big bargain, the emperor wants to punish the other people in the Shu Palace, and even the Queen Mother has no face to stop it. And the king of Shu and the prince of Shu have even lost their fiefdoms, and they don't know where their future prospects are, and they don't know what they will think when they see that their youngest son and younger brother can get the title of prince of the county?

Zhao Mo smiled and didn't care. He only asked Huang Jincheng: "I remember that the place of Huangyang is not small, and it can satisfy the Queen Mother, so it must not be the worst fiefdom." What are the other places waiting to be sealed? I wonder if Lord Huang can teach me?"

What is so difficult about this? Huang Jincheng is a prince and close to the crown prince, so he has always been very familiar with the situation in this regard. He briskly told Zhao Mo that several counties and counties were all drawn out by the emperor and prepared to be used for the children of the clan who were knighted this year. Zhao Mo looked at it, there was really no particularly rich and large area, and Jurong was definitely the best among them. According to Huang Jincheng, the children of the Jingzhong clan, but all those who meet the conditions for knighthood, have been fighting for this place throughout the year.

Huang Jincheng himself is also very concerned, Jurong is too close to Jinling, it is next to each other, even if the vassal king either does not go to the domain, or he must not leave lightly after the vassal, no matter which county king gets the title of Jurong, he will not easily run to Jinling, but he is stationed in Jinling, and there is such a master beside him, it is still very annoying. He has been praying in his heart, hoping that no matter who is sealed to Jurong, it is best to be like the king of Rongyang County, stay in Beijing honestly and live, and don't go to the land to cause chaos.

Zhao Mo listened to Huang Jincheng's words, inquired about the children of the clan who were waiting for the knighthood this year, and learned that among the people who were most likely to be crowned the king of the county, the two princes of Qin and Xiang, had the most children, so he said: "The uncles of the Qin Wangfu are estimated to stay in Qin to guard the border, or stay in Beijing, even if they are assigned to Jurong, they will not run to the fiefdom." There are many uncles in the Xiangwang Mansion, whether they can all be crowned county kings, it is still unknown, if there are any bad deeds, maybe they can only get a Zhenguo general. Judging from the emperor's attitude towards the kings, the son of King Qin has a better chance of getting Jurong. Even so, most of the newly crowned Jurong County Kings will not come to the fiefdom. ”

Huang Jincheng thought about it, Zhao Mo's inference was quite reasonable, so he nodded with satisfaction.

He gave Zhao Mo an idea: "There are a lot of clans waiting for sealing this year, and they are all staring at those big counties and rich counties." You are a junior, and you have no outstanding merits, so you rashly said that you want to be crowned a county king, but you are afraid that others will gossip. You just pick the worse one in those fiefdoms and save the good ones for others. The most important thing is to set the title first. The fief can be changed again in the future, but the status goes up, as long as you don't make mistakes, there will be no day when you are degraded. ”

He was very enthusiastic to help Zhao Mo come up with ideas. Zhao Mo could faintly perceive that he might not be completely purposeless. But even if there is a purpose, it is estimated that it is to attack Zhao Shuo. Zhao Shuo's eldest son is a secret that everyone knows. But what if he treated his eldest son so poorly that he could not take the throne as the grandson, and the emperor canonized him as the eldest son of the county? No matter how much he proclaimed his holy family to the outside world, the emperor's approach was to slap him in the face. At that time, how much will there be left of the halo on his head, which is deeply favored by the emperor and the prince?

Huang Jincheng wanted to know this answer with great interest, Zhao Mo ...... I'm curious.
