"Yes, it's the jade seal of the country." Yang Mu nodded and said, "The chief envoy of the Shen Kingdom is a young man, dressed in a python robe, and he is the crown prince of the Shen Kingdom. ”

"Prince ......"

Concubine Nuo muttered, her mother is frail, and she will never come out again after giving birth to her, Prince Shenguo was born to a concubine, her qualifications are mediocre, and she doesn't have much intersection with her on weekdays, so when she mentions the word prince, she doesn't feel anything.

Now, the prince of Shenguo took the jade seal of the country and dedicated it to the Cangguo, and his intention is self-evident.

Shen Guo, do you want to take the initiative to belong to Cangguo?

Concubine Nuo was a little apprehensive in her heart, she had read some history books since she was a child, and knew that there was also this kind of annexation situation between the major vassal states, but she never thought that it would happen in her home country.

Father, are you really relieved?

After the annexation, the Shen State is like destroying the country, how will the Cang State treat the monarchs and ministers of the Shen State?

Concubine Nuo had a lot of questions in her heart, but it was difficult to ask, because it was obvious that Shen Guo was afraid of being attacked after not receiving a response from Cangguo for a long time, so she made this decision, and there was no other way.

Seeing Concubine Nuo like this, Yang Mu also guessed what she was thinking.

Speaking of which, Emperor Shen's move is also reasonable.

Let's ask, a weak person has not been forgiven by the strong, trembling all day long, a little bit of despair over time, in the face of the imminent outbreak of war, who can not be in a hurry?

At this time, seeing that the entire Zheng State was implementing the system of the Cangguo Kingdom and preparing for Chan Rang, the royal family and the family lords of the Shen Kingdom also had the intention of following suit.

After all, Zheng Guo is a conquered country, and there is no danger to the royal family and the family, so there is no need to worry about taking the initiative to join it.

So, as early as half a month ago, Shen Guo sent the crown prince to carry the jade seal of the heirloom country, showing his intention to return.

"I came here today to discuss this matter with my concubine, since Shen Guo is your mother country and I take the initiative to belong to it, I will definitely treat him well, if you give birth to a prince one day, you can give him Shencheng as a food town."

Euppy?

Concubine Nuo was surprised, since the three kings were subdued, there has been no king in Cangguo, although the food can not manage and appoint officials independently, but can get half of the tax revenue in the territory, it is also an alternative fief, for a prince, even if it is a gentleman, you can also squander it for a lifetime!

In the current situation, Yang Mu's attitude is indicated, which means that his attitude towards Concubine Nuo remains unchanged, that is to say, he is friendly to the royal family of Shen State, and the power will be smoothly handed over.

In an instant, Concubine Nuo's hanging heart finally returned to her stomach, and she hurriedly bowed: "Concubine Xie Your Majesty, and also on behalf of the emperor and the royal family of Shenguo, thank Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Mu nodded and said, "After the Shen Kingdom is attached, the monarchs and ministers of the Shen Kingdom are all the courtiers of my Dacang, and the father of the concubine will be made a marquis and given a fief. ”

"Fiefdom!" Concubine Nuo was surprised and said, "Since my father and emperor have already been attached, he only needs to be an idle aristocratic rich man, and His Majesty does not need to be rewarded like this." ”

Yang Mu waved his hand, opened the box and took out a jade seal, and said while observing and playing: "I understand what Concubine Ai thinks, it is nothing more than an abdicated king, and obtaining a fief will cause suspicion, so Concubine Ai doesn't have to worry, I will consider the matter of the fief." ”

"The concubine is acting on behalf of the father, thank Your Majesty Longen."

……

Let's say that when Yang Mu came out of Ruizhu Palace, he instructed Shen An to summon the ministers and convene the evening dynasty.

It's the late dynasty again......

After more than 40 days, Yang Mu convened the evening dynasty again, Shen An did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the little eunuchs to go to the yamen office of the outer dynasty to pass the decree.

An hour later, the main officials of the twelve departments gathered in the main hall.

After the last experience, the atmosphere between the major officials this time was obviously much duller, and in the waiting time, there was a lot less exchange of words, and some officials even looked worried.

Comparatively speaking, the emerging forces and small families will have to open up a lot, the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, the decline of the big family is an opportunity for these small families, and those who have a little honor and disgrace all think that it is the blessing of the country.

Yang Mu wore court clothes, went from Ruizhu Palace to Wanshou Palace, rested, changed into court clothes, and went straight to the court hall.

After the etiquette of the monarch and the minister, Yang Mu began to discuss how to deal with Shen Guo.

The ministers also made a difficulty.

After all, although Shen Guo is attached, the transfer of power is not a simple issue, which is very different from Zheng Guo.

Zheng Guo conquered by force, and then forced the transfer of power with military strength, and when he encountered someone who did not cooperate, he directly killed and replaced his own people, and under the iron and blood, all the work was carried out smoothly.

The Shen State is different, since it is a peaceful transfer of power, then there must be a smooth transition, and those officials in Shen should also have a cooperative attitude instead of shouting and killing, and the implementation of the decree needs to let the Shen State officials adapt to themselves, rather than arrange their own manpower.

Of course, there is another important reason.

Everyone in the court knows that Shen Guo is the mother country of Concubine Nuo.

Who is Concubine No? That's the emperor's favorite concubine!

In her belly, there is a dragon species!

In the future, once Concubine Nuo gives birth to a prince, even if she is not a concubine, she will occupy a place in the harem, who dares to offend?

Moreover, the current queen has never been pregnant, which is extremely abnormal, in case nothing comes out, then Concubine Nuo's child is the eldest son, and there is an existence that has the opportunity to become the future prince!

So, this problem is tricky to deal with.

In the end, Yang Mu synthesized the opinions of Fan Hongji, Kong Shangxian, and others, and decided that some people from each ministry would first go to Shenguo to carry out structural reforms, and at the same time prepare for the transfer of power.

"Everyone, Aiqing, since the handover has been decided, let's discuss the matter of the fief." Yang Mu said, letting the eunuchs carry out a large map.

That's right, the fief matter that I talked about with Concubine Nuo in Ruizhu Palace is not empty talk.

However, the promised fief is not a fief in the traditional sense, but the last time he was in Zheng Guo, Kong Shangxian proposed to settle the Zheng royal family's land - the island.

That is, the places marked on this big map.

Some time ago, Yang Mu had already sent someone to investigate, that island plus several small islands around it, the area is close to the size of a county in Cangguo, and the closest distance from the mainland is actually equivalent to a shallow strait, standing on the shore can see each other's trees.

If you sail on a boat, you can make a cup of tea.

On the island, it can be said that it is very pristine, whether it is flowers, trees or small animals grow naturally, especially in the middle of the island, there are almost no traces of human life.

In addition, Zheng Cangshen is a country with a suitable climate, so the island is also a pleasant scenery.

Yang Mu's idea was to turn this island into a special resettlement area, move some people up, build a city on the island, and then divide it into several pieces and seal it to the attached royal family as a fief.

Although the territory is a little smaller, it can be regarded as a fief, and once it is developed, the annual tax is equivalent to the income of a medium family.

Therefore, at the beginning of the late dynasty, he asked someone to bring a picture of the island plan, with dense lines and small characters.

One city, plus twenty-five towns. ()
