readx;
After thousands of years of inheritance and improvement, a set of extremely strict rules has been formed, and it is maintained by the entire aristocratic class, and the aristocratic system is also an important cornerstone of the existence of the empire. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Han Fei took over the patriarch of the Han family from his grandfather Han Wuguo, and at the same time inherited the title of earl, because he was a real lord with a territory, he was able to recruit the private army guards of the territory, but there were strict regulations on the number of people, and it could not exceed five hundred.
Five hundred private troops is the bottom line, the tulip collar is adjacent to Yanjing Shengjing, and every move can't escape the attention of people with intentions, this thunder pool must not be crossed, otherwise it is easy to give people a handle.
Five hundred guards plus guards to protect the original Tulip Castle and Tulip Collar are enough, but with the expansion of the territory and the surge of population, the Tulip Collar needs to build a new city to accommodate more and more people, which makes the five hundred territorial private army immediately overstretched, especially in the face of the threat of the Shadow Church, this problem is not solved, Tulip New City can not be built with peace of mind.
If it is replaced by other big families, this problem is not a problem, the children of the clan can take on part of the responsibility of guarding, but the Han family has been in decline for a long time, and there is still a long way to go to rejuvenation, and many of the newly recruited children of the clan have already served as personal guards who need to ensure loyalty, so they cannot take the methods of other families.
And the best solution is to expand the private army guard of the territory, as long as you can be promoted to the marquis of the empire, the number of private army guards can reach 1,500, which can completely protect the security of the entire territory.
It's just that it is so easy to get a knighthood, the royal family has always strictly controlled the promotion of noble titles, and if there is not enough credit, they don't want to go to the next level at all, and many nobles stay in the barons and viscounts all their lives.
As one of the twelve wealthy families of the Donghua clan, in the heyday of hundreds of years ago, the patriarchs all had dukes, and there were many counts and viscounts below, but after the clan was divided, the main line of the Han clan who stayed in Shengjing was slumped, and when it came to Han Wuguo's generation, he was reduced to an earl, and he didn't even have a fief.
If Han Fei wants to revive the Han clan, his own title is also a key, you must know that the patriarchs of other big families are either marquis or dukes, and a mere earl bows his head in front of these people, not to mention the restrictions in other aspects.
Therefore, he wants to take this opportunity to make a breakthrough in the title, as long as he can be promoted to marquis and make great contributions in the future, then it is no longer a dream to finally be crowned a duke and revive the prestige of the Han family.
It was impossible for Han Fei's thoughts not to be understood, but it was related to the titles of nobles, especially the promotion from earl to marquis, so he had to be very cautious.
If Han Fei hadn't been promoted to the god rank and given him an incomparably precious gift, I'm afraid Emperor Yeshi wouldn't have considered it at all.
"I see, it's almost time now, let's have lunch first!" Emperor Ye Shi gently put the matter aside, neither agreeing nor refusing.
However, Han Fei was already very satisfied, and Emperor Yeshi's caution showed that he was already seriously considering this matter, so there would be great hopes.
"Jinxiu, you can stay and dine together!" said Emperor Yeshi to the woman who had been standing beside him.
He seemed to suddenly remember something, patted his forehead and smiled: "Look at me, I forgot to introduce you to you, Han Fei, this is my seventh daughter Jinxiu." ”
There are a total of thirteen princesses among the children of Emperor Yeshi, only two of them have been married, this seventh princess Princess Jinxiu has a great reputation in the aristocratic circle of Yanjing, she is one of the most favored daughters of Emperor Yeshi, usually only stays in the palace and rarely goes out, not many people have seen her true face.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess..."Han Fei stood up and saluted, his eyes couldn't help but fall on this rather mysterious princess.
"Hello, Count Han Fei. Princess Splendid returned the salute with her skirt, and her voice was very charming.
She hesitated slightly, then removed her veil, revealing a face that overstruck the country and the city.
She looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, her hair was tied into a bun of black and green silk, her skin was as white as jade and exuded a charming light, her eyes were as bright as the stars in the dark night, her nose was beautiful and her lips were slightly open, her voice was immobile and amorous, and the pure beauty of a girl and the charm of a woman were perfectly combined in her.
Han Fei's eyes froze slightly, and he couldn't help but secretly praise the beauty of this princess, the beautiful appearance of the splendid princess was the only one he had ever seen in his life, even Han Bixuan and Fuji Shuixiu were slightly inferior, such a beautiful woman should indeed only stay in the deep palace, and if you go out often, you don't know how much turmoil it will cause.
He could even hear the royal knight's breathing behind him grow a little heavy.
His Majesty's lunch was surprisingly simple, tender roast veal, fresh coho salmon and mountain mushrooms, melt-in-your-mouth foie gras and caviar, plus a soup and bread rice balls, all but not as rich as a sumptuous meal for a modest merchant.
However, it was definitely a master chef who cooked these foods, and several dishes were made with all the color and flavor, and even Han Fei couldn't help but eat a few more rice balls.
After lunch and dessert, Han Fei got up and said goodbye, and Emperor Ye Shi didn't say anything, just a few words of encouragement and then asked the royal knight to take him away.
The dining table and the plates were quickly withdrawn, the maid served fragrant hot tea, and Emperor Ye Shi took a sip of the teacup, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Jinxiu, what do you think of Han Fei?"
"Father, just say what you want to say!" Princess Jinxiu smiled slightly, her eyes showed a hint of cunning, and the solemn and reserved just now were completely different from the two of them: "Count Han Fei is about to get married, and he is marrying four brides at the same time, you can't let him add another one, right?"
"You kid..."Emperor Ye Shi couldn't help laughing: "He will be the Marquis soon, the Marquis can marry five wives, of course, where can I be so cheap to him, can't he take all the good things in the world alone?"
"A twenty-one-year-old god-rank warrior is really unexpected!"
Han Fei is too young and too dazzling, such a talented and brilliant character cannot be suppressed, Emperor Yeshi did have the idea of marriage just now, and it is more than enough to match a princess with Han Fei's identity and talent.
As for the most ideal candidate, of course, Princess Splendid Beauty, Emperor Yeshi didn't believe that there was anyone else in this world who could resist the charm of his beloved daughter.
It's a pity! His Majesty the Emperor thought secretly in his heart.
The braided Bei Tooth bit her red lip lightly, and Princess Splendid said in a low voice: "Father, as long as you open your mouth, your daughter is willing!"
Hearing Princess Jinxiu's words, a warm current suddenly surged in Emperor Yeshi's heart.
The most ruthless emperor family, as the princess of the empire, it is the responsibility and obligation to sacrifice for the empire and the royal family, but Emperor Yeshi is not a ruthless emperor, he loves his children, he may not be the most qualified emperor, but he is not a cold power puppet.
"What my father wants is for you children to be able to get your own happiness...", he lovingly held his daughter's hand and said, "In marriage, I will never interfere with your choice." ”
As the emperor of the empire, this promise is precious, and a layer of mist suddenly appeared in the eyes of Princess Jinxiu.
"Of course, if you can take a fancy to Han Fei, it would be great!" said Emperor Ye Shi with a sudden wink.
"Father, I don't look down on such a fancy person!" Princess Jinxiu suddenly blushed and fled like a frightened rabbit: "I ignore you!"
The night Shidi laughed and laughed heartily.
In the midst of his laughter, a slender and graceful figure quietly appeared beside Emperor Yeshi, who was also an extremely beautiful woman, with a seven-point resemblance to Princess Jinxiu, but more mature with a hint of perseverance.
"Bing Ling, what do you think?" asked Emperor Ye Shi without any surprise, after stopping his laughter.
If Han Fei was still there at this time, then he would definitely be surprised, because this woman called Ice Spirit was the same sky powerhouse he had met with Fuji Suixiu in the Wuthering Forest back then!
At that time, Han Fei was only a low-level samurai, and he was attacked by a team of adventurers together with Fujimizu Xiu, and if it wasn't for the Night Ice Spirit appearing to help, the consequences would be unimaginable. Later, the Night Ice Spirit also gave the Gift Ring to Fuji Suixiu, who in turn gave it to Han Fei.
This Gift Ring, which had been released from the seal by the Silver Dragon Faeron and had been worn on Han Fei's hand all along.
Seven years have passed, and the Night Ice Spirit doesn't look much different from that time, but the flash of divine light in her eyes shows that her strength has reached a new level.
"There is no problem with the strength of the god rank, I didn't expect this little guy to be so talented, I estimate that his strength may not be as simple as just breaking through the god level..."Ye Bingling's face was a little solemn: "I'm afraid it's even stronger than me!"
"How is this possible!" Emperor Ye Shi was taken aback: "Ice Spirit, you broke through the God Rank three years ago, and Han Fei was still a Sky Warrior more than half a year ago!"
"I think it's because he has a special situation in the process of training in the abyss world..."Night Ice Spirit said: "I can feel that his power has the aura of the abyss, and it is very possible to break through the eighth order within two or three years!"
Emperor Yeshi's face changed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled and said, "If those guys know about this matter, I really don't know what their expressions will be!"
"They..."A hint of disdain flashed in the Night Ice Spirit's eyes, "They will definitely find a way to stifle this threat, but now is not a thousand years ago, do they really think they can do whatever they want?"
Emperor Yeshi nodded and made a decision in his heart.
