Chapter 427: The Sixth-Class Title, Starting from Xuzhou
Dao Dao's eyes met, and hundreds of princes reached a certain tacit understanding.
"Then I don't know what Dong Bohou means......?" After a pause, one of the princes spoke.
"If you can trust me Jiang Hengchu, as well as Hou Ye, Hou Ye, Hou Ye Zhao, and Hou Ye Su, then please go back for the time being, after an hour, no matter what, we will give you a response. Jiang Hengchu said in a deep voice.
Hundreds of princes were silent, panicked and powerless, and many had distrust in their hearts.
But let them open their mouths against it, but they can't open their mouths.
Because they really don't know what to do.
And the five people in Jiang Hengchu's mouth, plus himself, are also the most powerful among these hundreds of princes.
After a while, after a conversation, hundreds of princes and Fang Cai dispersed with worries, leaving only Jiang Hengchu and the five princes in his mouth.
The crowd dispersed, and the six couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It is not a good thing to have a large number of people to discuss such a big matter, and if you can't say anything after discussion, it will make them even more irritable.
Jiang Hengchu froze and said in a condensed voice: "Everyone, there are only six people left here, and there is not much time left, so say what you have any ideas." ”
The six of them met their gazes, but fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Marquis Zhao, one of the Marquis of Eight Prefectures, said coldly: "Your Majesty personally spoke, he has made a decision on this matter, what can we do?"
Everyone frowned, and this was the trickiest part of them.
If it was proposed by other officials, even if it was Taishi Wenzhong, as long as Di Xin didn't open his mouth to make sure, then they wouldn't be too afraid.
It's a big deal to do your best and fight with the other party and the officials who agree.
At least there is hope.
But Dixin has spoken, what can they do?
Oppose?
It's just looking for death, even if all the princes work together, there is still no second end.
They simply didn't dare.
If you don't dare to object, what should you do?
The six people present can be described as the world's masters, but they all feel very powerless at this time.
The words of Tisin were like an impregnable mountain that stretched around them, blocking all paths.
"Your Majesty's order, we naturally dare not disobey, but if we unify Kyushu and follow Yuzhou, Dashang may not have this foundation. After a few breaths, E Chongyu said quietly, and a scheming aura rose.
Everyone looked at him, and naturally understood this.
More clearly, this is probably their only hope.
"But one way or another, one day it will be our turn. Su Hu couldn't help but say solemnly.
I couldn't help but regret in my heart, I knew that this was the case, and I should have sent Daji to the palace back then.
Ay!
"That's for later. Jiang Hengchu said coldly, glanced at everyone, and did not hide his intentions, "Your Majesty wants to unify Kyushu, so naturally you need to come little by little, and in the eyes of this marquis, it is most appropriate to start from the north." ”
The other five did not hesitate and nodded their heads one after another.
None of them were princes located in the north, and even Su Hu, who was formerly the Marquis of Jizhou, was transferred to the south because of his mistake back then.
Coupled with His Majesty's loyal dog, Chonghou Hu, the Northland is naturally the best choice.
By the time the imperial court annexed the two continents of the northern land, at least thousands of years had passed.
During this time, they can all think of ways and prepare as much as possible.
"But what if Your Majesty doesn't start from the north?" said Wang Houye, one of the marquis of the Eight Prefectures, worriedly.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Jiang Hengchu spoke: "Your Majesty knows that the easiest place to unify Kyushu is the western and northern four states.
The two states of the Western Lands, as long as His Majesty does not mean to move the Xibohou Mansion, he should not move first.
In this way, only the two states of Northland remain. ”
Among the four prefectures in the east, west, north and south, and the four states in the east and south, the Great Shang is the least turbulent, and most of them are old princes who are deeply rooted in the local area.
Needless to say, after Ji Chang's rebellion, almost all of them were replaced by new princes, but in just a few hundred years, these new princes have far less influence in the local area.
The same is true in the north, Yuan Futong rebelled, Su Hu was transferred, and many princes were replaced.
Therefore, these two places and four states are the best choice.
"I hope so! As long as Your Majesty doesn't open his mouth to decide, we can have someone say something. E Chongyu said in a deep voice.
Everyone was short-sighted and nodded in agreement.
Then the six of them discussed some other details, and then they dispersed to inform the hundreds of princes.
......
And the other three groups of princes gathered had joys and sorrows.
Among them, the princes led by Chonghou Hu were disappointed, because Chonghou Hu directly expressed his attitude and obeyed His Majesty's orders.
The other two groups are basically the existence of new princes who have changed from big merchant nobles to new princes over the years.
Their mood is even more depressed, and most of them regret it immensely.
If you know today, why bother in the first place.
Xibohou Mansion is in Chaoge's residence.
Ji Fa was the calmest, and after the initial shock, he chose to be silent.
And many high-ranking officials of big business are also discussing this matter.
The unification of Kyushu and the entry of princes into the court are a matter of concern to everyone, and no one can avoid it.
......
On this night, countless thoughts floated in Chaoge City, and the undercurrent was turbulent and swelling.
At the next day's meeting, almost everyone's footsteps were unusually heavy.
In the golden light, the figure of Di Xin descended.
After saluting, without giving the ministers below a chance to speak, Di Xin looked at him, and Zheng He took a step forward.
Respectfully asked for the holy decree, and said in a deep voice: "The ministers accept the decree." ”
"The minister took the order. "All salute.
"Your Majesty has a decree, starting today, to divide the monarch, duke, marquis, earl, son, male and other six lords.
Officials of the first to fifth grades enjoy the same treatment.
Among them, the two titles of Jun and Gong are equivalent to the same as the first product.
The marquis is divided into two ranks, which are equivalent to the two ranks, and the other three titles, and so on.
All titles no longer have the right to a territory. ”
Many people's hearts were shaken, and many princes were in turmoil, but they didn't expect His Majesty to be so decisive and directly define the new title.
But they all said respectfully: "The minister obeys the order!"
Among them, many officials were also pleasantly surprised.
In this way, it is possible for them to get a lord.
There are so many official positions in the imperial court, and you may not be able to compete with others, but the number of lords is not fixed.
The marquis is equivalent to the second grade, which is the grade of the real high-level of the big merchants.
Di Xin didn't pay attention to the thoughts of the ministers and princes, and his indifferent voice was full of majesty and unquestionable: "The unification of Kyushu is my great business, and anyone who dares to hinder it will be killed." ”
Many of the princes below lowered their heads, their faces were a little ugly, and more princes were a little afraid.
Because they knew that the word was said to them.
"Uniting Kyushu isn't an overnight thing, let's talk about where to start?" Di Xin continued to speak, looking at everyone below.
In an instant, Jiang Hengchu and the others' eyes lit up a little.
It's good that you don't have to make a decision directly.
Soon, there were more arguments in the hall, like swords, guns, swords, halberds, and no concessions.
The princes and civil officials have spoken one after another, and even some military generals have spoken.
Di Xin didn't speak, just watched quietly.
In the past two moments, after the argument fell for a while, he said lightly: "Let's start with Xuzhou." ”
Suddenly, Jiang Hengchu's expression froze.
Xuzhou is the second state of the eastern region, and his territory is also in Xuzhou.
When you lose your soul and open your lips, you can't help but oppose it.
Suddenly, his whole body was like falling into an ice cave, and even the Yuan Shen was trembling with coldness.
Because the two eyes were already on him, extremely heavy and depressed, and all his courage was suppressed at once.
Xuzhou, as well as the other two hundred princes of neighboring Qingzhou, naturally did not dare to speak against it.
As for the princes of the other three places, including E Chongyu, they were all silent, and they saluted: "Yes." ”
"This matter is supervised by the political cabinet, and all the specifications are according to Yuzhou.
The princes returned to their respective realms for the time being, and prepared themselves to await the will. Di Xin retracted his gaze and ordered.
"Obey the order!" the crowd saluted.
Subsequently, it was the deliberation of the government cabinet and the six ministries, as well as the kokuzijian and the imperial history platform.
With the integration of Xuzhou as the center, discuss how to do it in general?
The princes of Xuzhou could only watch and listen, full of resentment, but they could not do anything and did not dare to speak out.
In the hearts of the rest of the princes, there was also a more or less sad feeling of the rabbit dying and the fox.
Is the ancestral inheritance really going to disappear?
After an hour or so of deliberation, the general steps were decided.
Emperor Xin declared the dissolution of the dynasty.
On that day, most of the eight hundred princes began to return to their respective territories, and their expressions were a little ugly.
The matter of unifying Kyushu was also passed on at a crazy speed.
Not to mention the imminent shock in Kyushu, the speed of the Great Shang Dynasty is very fast.
On the same day, the division of Xuzhou region, planning areas, counties, governments, counties, preparing officials, checking the situation in various parts of Xuzhou, and so on were carried out in an orderly manner.
Di Xin also continued to be busy, canonizing the new titles of the princes of Xuzhou and preparing high-grade officials all needed him to decide personally.
In the harem.
Jiang Hengchu left the palace in despair, and did not stay long in his mansion before he re-entered the palace in an unstable mood.
In Jiang Zitong's palace, he looked at Jiang Zitong with a somewhat crazy indifferent gaze, and he didn't salute anymore, just looked at it like he was looking at the most familiar enemy.
Jiang Zitong felt a pain in his heart, waved his hand to let the rest of the people retreat, his eyes did not dodge, and looked directly at him.
"Reverse, female~!" After a while, Jiang Hengchu clenched his fists, and the anger in his eyes almost erupted.
"Father complaining about his daughter?" Jiang Zitong said disappointedly.
Jiang Hengchu breathed heavily, as if he couldn't hold back anymore, and shouted coldly: "The ancestral foundation is destroyed, you say, who should I blame?"
Jiang Zitong's face changed slightly, and he was a little worried, "Father said cautiously. ”
Jiang Hengchu opened his mouth, and the surging unwilling anger still failed to break out.
After all, this is the palace of the king of people, and he can't say more, and he doesn't dare to say more.
It's just that he can't help it.
"Jiang's foundation, since I am destroyed, what face do I have in the world?"
(Chapter 1, Chapter 2 in the second half of the night, it's better to sleep first.) )
