O king!

Or do you have a fiefdom, the kind that can be arbitrary, what is the difference between it and the soil emperor?

Even if he is as calm as Wang Ning'an, he can't help but be excited, but he has been dealing with Wen Yanbo for too long, and he knows that this old man is calculating, and things will never be simple.

"Xianggong Wen, I want to know, why is he crowned king at this time?" Wang Ningan said indifferently.

Wen Yanbo looked like this, "Erlang, there are three main reasons for being crowned king at this time, one of them is that the land is expanded for thousands of miles, and the court can't govern it for a while, it can't send officials, and it can't station so many soldiers, so there must be a big talent who is in charge of it, and Erlang is the best candidate." ”

The old guy's words are flattering, but the problem is obvious.

Suddenly, there are thousands of miles of land, and according to the administrative division of the Great Song Dynasty, at least five roads can be divided, but the problem is that the population of this piece of land is not as large as that of the whole of Luoyang.

How to divide it?

As a government or a road, there are not enough officials to manage such a large place, but to increase the number of administrative districts, the population is too small, the place is barren, and it cannot support the huge bureaucratic system.

If you insist on arranging, you can only spend a huge amount of money to fill the shortfall.

Da Song does not have the financial resources to do so.

Therefore, when it was originally designed, it was only to add the Longyou Protectorate and the Western Regions Protectorate.

But the problem is that according to the design of the model of the Duhufu, it is necessary to follow the local customs of the whole tribe, and let the tribes manage their own affairs, as long as they obey the orders of the Great Song Dynasty.

This set of ideas has failed in the original experiment in Youzhou.

The Great Song Dynasty needs to control the place more powerfully, and also protect the entire Silk Road, the responsibility is heavy, think about it, there is only one way, the king!

Just like the division of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the edge of the country, the newly classified areas, were divided into feudal areas to the meritorious kings, and they were properly managed according to local conditions.

Wang Ningan thought about it a little and agreed with this idea, not because he got the throne, but at present, it seems that this is the only way to do it!

"This second article is naturally to appease the morale of the army." Wen Yanbo sighed, "This time the incident in the northwest hurt a lot, some traitors came to Hu Lai, and buried so many soldiers, as far as the old man knows, the army's heart is shaken, and some people are very dissatisfied." The court should reward and punish clearly, divide the princes, reward meritorious soldiers, and everyone can be promoted and rewarded, so as to resolve the dissatisfaction in their hearts. ”

Wang Ningan nodded again, of course this reason is also valid.

"This third, when Yanyun was recovered, the king with a different surname was the ancestral training set by Emperor Taizong, His Majesty wants to use the king to remember Taizong, and it can be regarded as winning the hearts of the people!"

Wang Ning moved with peace of mind, it seemed that someone wanted to restore the throne of the Taizu family, and the impact on Uncle Zhao was not small, and he even came up with Chongxi's idea.

He suddenly became curious.

"Xianggong Wen, I am not the only meritorious minister, how many princes is Your Majesty going to confer on you?"

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "There is only one king with a different surname, but there are several kings with the same surname." ”

"Who are they?"

"This is second to none, of course, it is the king of Dongping County......"

Wen Yanbo kept gushing and told several princes who were to be divided.

Wang Ning'an sealed the king of Xiliang, and his station is in Liangzhou, of course, Liangzhou is still in the hands of Xixia at this moment, and he needs to be snatched up. In principle, his fief is connected to Qinfeng Road and Hengshan in the east, and extends to Shazhou in the west, in other words, the entire Hexi Corridor is all Wang Ning'an's fief.

He played a role in connecting the Central Plains and the Western Regions, with the most critical position and the heaviest authority.

The second king is Zhao Zongjing, of course, he also had a prince before, but with a fief, it was completely different before. Zhao Zongjing got the title of King Gaochang.

Frankly speaking, Wang Ningan knows his brother's half a catty, but the problem is that others don't know!

Everyone only saw that Zhao Zongjing had been an envoy to the Khitan since more than ten years ago, and went south to Jiaozhi, and this time he led his troops to nearly thousands of miles and laid a foundation.

Although there are many descendants of the Zhao family, he is the only one who can have such merits!

Zhao Zongjing was named the king of Gaochang, in charge of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and when it came to territory, he was still above Wang Ning'an. It's just that because of Murong Qingchen, most of Bosten Lake was destroyed, and Pu Changhai was also affected.

The third prince, unexpectedly, turned out to be the crown prince Zhao Shu.

It stands to reason that it is most normal for the crown prince to be crowned king.

For example, Zhao Zhen, he was first awarded the title of King of Shouchun County, the order of the Chinese book, the promotion of the king, and the sentence of Kaifeng Mansion, as for his father, Zhenzong Zhao Heng, successively named King Han, King Xiang, King Shou, and Kaifeng Mansion Yin.

Looking at the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty, he was either the king of the county, or the prince of the county, and then he was in charge of the Kaifeng Mansion, practiced his skills, and then changed it to a single-word name, and then he completed all his homework, and waited for the old emperor to hang up, and he could ascend the throne and become the emperor.

Zhao Shu has completed the name change, the king and the sentence of Kaifeng Mansion, these two things have not been done, mainly because he is young, and he is in the limelight, and he is not in a hurry.

It's just that this time Zhao Zhen didn't know what to smoke crazy, and gave Zhao Shu the title of King of Jin, but he didn't let him be the Yin of Kaifeng, but divided his fief in Qingtang, and let Zhao Shu concurrently serve as the king of Khotan!

This arrangement is really confusing, what is Your Majesty planning to do?

"In the past, His Highness's position was stable, and no one dared to spy on the artifact, but this time, someone pushed out the Taizu lineage, which made His Majesty very uneasy." Wen Yanbo told the truth.

"So let His Highness train in Qingtang first and accumulate military prestige?" Wang Ningan asked again: "Then why do you want to serve as the king of Khotan?" ”

"This ...... It was a request from the State of Khotan. ”

Wen Yanbo told Wang Ning'an the news from the Western Regions, and with the help of the Great Song Dynasty, Khotan had a chance to restore the country, but in the entire Khotan country, Yu Chi's family, and the adult dragon son and grandson were left with only one Zhao Li, and Yu Chiyan also had two younger brothers who wore open crotch pants.

Zhao Li escaped death and was given the surname of the Great Song Dynasty. Because it was Zhao Shu who discovered him and gave him great favors. Zhao Li felt that he had changed his surname, and he was a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty and could not serve as the king of Khotan.

Yu Chi Yan's female streamers, those two boys with open crotch pants, and they couldn't convince the public, several old guys of Yu Chi's family got together and discussed for seven days, and finally they decided to merge into the Great Song Dynasty, and Khotan no longer existed!

Such a decision was made because of the loyalty of the Khotanese people, and secondly, because the situation in Khotan was indeed very bad, and it was no longer possible to become a country on its own.

The request reached the capital, and Zhao Zhen felt the loyalty of Khotan, and did not want Khotan to destroy the country, but Khotan could not find a king.

Fortunately, Zhao Shu was concurrently served as the king of Khotan, and it happened that the prince was in the hearts of the remnants of Khotan, and his status was very high, which also said that the Great Song Dynasty valued Khotan, and gave Zhao Shu a chance to experience and kill two birds with one stone.

"Is there anyone else who is king?"

"Yes, it is the emerging Marquis Zhao Congyu, who was named the king of Hami."

Wang Ningan took a sip, from the word generation, it is the Taizu family!

Seeing Wang Ning'an's change of color, Wen Yanbo explained: "This Zhao Congyu is different from Zhao Conggu, he is very honest, he is old again, and he has nothing else to think about. After all, this time Zhao Shimai was implicated, and His Majesty had to punish him severely, but he couldn't break the root of Taizu's lineage, so there was such a letter. ”

Wang Ningan immediately understood Uncle Zhao's plan, don't look at Zhao Er's descendants who did their best to suppress Zhao Dayi, but what happened back then, they knew that Zhao Er's family was at a loss.

This time Zhao Shimai was involved in the seizure of the heir, although he deserved it, but killing him and killing Zhao Conggu's descendants will inevitably be criticized by others, saying that Zhao Zhen is killed and ruthless.

After all, they are all members of the old Zhao family, and they always have to leave some thoughts for the Taizu family.

If you seal a Hami king, you can justify it and drive Zhao Da's descendants to the Western Regions, out of sight, out of mind, but also a way!

The three princes of the old Zhao family, plus one Wang Ning'an, sealed four kings in one go, catching up with the Singles' Day reward.

It is conceivable that the Great Song Dynasty will be lively for a while.

Among the four princes, after deducting the crown prince and then deducting the king of Hami, in fact, the most dazzling is Wang Ning'an, the king of Xiliang.

After more than ten years of hard work, a different surname is crowned a king, and he is sitting in the northwest, which is really envious, jealous and hateful!

"Erlang, you have to hurry up the preparations, take down Liangzhou as soon as possible, open up the Hexi Corridor, you can't let your fiefdom and hand the misery of Xixia, right?" Wen Yanbo teased.

Wang Ningan laughed, "I know how to fight my own fiefdom." ”

Sending Wen Yanbo away, Wang Ningan was suddenly not so happy.

He always felt that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that the case is not over yet, especially the Elder Society, they got together, and after several years of hard work, is it a conspiracy this time?

How many things did they do, and why didn't they dig deeper?

Whether it is pushing Zhao Shimai or transferring troops privately, it is a matter of threatening the imperial power, even if the case is over on the surface, it is necessary to continue the investigation in secret, and find out all the people involved in the case.

How can Zhao Zhen be lifted high and put down gently, this thing is always a little strange.

Especially Lao Wen, he didn't finish the case, so he came to agitate for the king, and he made four in one go.

This old guy can't afford to be early, and if there is no benefit, he won't run around and work hard!

So what kind of calculation did Wen Yanbo make?

When Wang Ningan was still hesitating, two days later, Zhao Zhen officially issued a decree to divide the kings, and ordered a three-day rest to celebrate.

Just as the will of the division was issued, Zhao Zhen made another will, the people of the Qiying Society, not in their position, vainly discussing the government and politics, what they did was tolerable or unbearable, immediately filled the army in the Western Regions, and did not stay, among which Fu Bi was the heaviest disposed of, the whole family was demoted to the common people, and they were not allowed to stay, and they were immediately sent to the Western Regions, and they were never allowed to return to the Great Song Dynasty!

Wang Ningan got the news and was completely dumbfounded, a few days ago, Zhao Zhen swore that he wanted to kill Fu Bi, how could he raise his noble hand and let Fu Bi go?

What the hell is going on?

Wang Ningan was furious all of a sudden, the first thing he thought of was Wen Yanbo's power and the matter of sealing the king - could it be to cover for those old guys?

At this time, Uncle Cao Tong hurried to Wang's house, and cried with a sad face as soon as he saw him, "Erlang, there is no way, Fu Bi can't kill him!" ”
