Chapter 900: What can you do when you are crowned king?

When Leng Zhuo saw Situ Xue in a gorgeous palace dress, he was slightly distracted, the last time Situ Xue came was in the middle of the night, obviously a tight night dress can highlight the figure of Her Royal Highness the princess, but it definitely can't set off her temperament.

Back then, in Shengtian Academy, Situ Xue was able to rank second in the list of beauties ranked by Leng Zhuo, in addition to her appearance, she was more of the kind of high-minded princess temperament, women, she was much more beautiful, but there were few people with unique temperaments.

And Situ Xue is undoubtedly the best object of conquest in the minds of men, she is tall, she is dignified and elegant, she is proud and confident, and these undoubtedly make her the most dazzling woman, gorgeous and dazzling.

For Situ Xue, Leng Zhuo has a very contradictory mood, * wants to conquer, but reason warns him how far he stands, just like a dragon, proud and difficult to tame, I think when he was in Yuntian Fortress, Leng Zhuo faced Situ Xue like this, and today, he has become a hegemon, and he still feels like this when he sees Situ Xue again.

"Marquis of Ping'an, take the order!"

Leng Zhuo didn't want to kneel, but he had to kneel, although he was reluctant, but his face did not react: "The minister accepts the order!"

Situ Xue promulgated the imperial canonization decree to Leng Zhuo, and then there were some processes, one by one, Leng Zhuo finally officially became the king of the empire, canonized the king of Chu, and the fief expanded the Weeping Blood Valley tenfold, and added Vermilion Bird City, of course, the fief Vermilion Bird City is just an empty title to receive money, and it cannot interfere in the affairs of Vermilion Bird City.

"Congratulations on becoming His Royal Highness the King of Chu, as the prince of the empire, you have to shoulder a heavier responsibility, now the situation in the empire is turbulent, the Li Tang rebellion in Zhongzhou is getting stronger and stronger, and the Holy Religion rebellion in Chuzhou has spread to Shuzhou, after Your Majesty ascended the throne, you will be exhausted every day, as the king of Chu, should Your Highness write worries for the empire!"

Leng Zhuo looked at this Situ Xue who seemed to be asking, but he said directly: "I said Her Royal Highness the princess, we are not strangers, don't say that these official words are okay, let me send troops to relieve the worries of the empire, everything is easy to say, but where does the military spending come from, this army moves, the gold is ten thousand taels, and there is no money to play with!"

Situ Xue snorted, also put away her faint smile, and said a little coldly: "You are embarrassed to ask for money, the finances and taxes of Chuzhou and Yangzhou have been taken by you, and you still care about us asking for money!"

Leng Zhuo was not annoyed at all, but sighed and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is irresponsible when she says this, I intercepted the finances and taxes of the two states, but the problem is that there is not much money at all, Chuzhou was in turmoil before, thirteen prefectures, twelve turmoil, the only one that is not chaotic, it is still a remote and poor place, where is there any tax!"

"There are now 800,000 soldiers and horses in Chuzhou, how many tens of thousands of people just eat, drink, chew and feed every day, how many towns have been destroyed, this has to pay for repairs, those refugees who have fled, their homes are gone, we can't ignore it, in order to resume production, we also have to provide cattle, rice seeds, and other farm tools, which don't need money, this is not a family that doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are!"

Situ Xue didn't buy it at all, snorted twice, and interrupted Leng Zhuo's complaint: "Why is what His Royal Highness the King of Chu said different from what I know, I heard that the rent of houses, warehouses, and transportation ships in the Weeping Blood Valley every year is not less than 10 million per year, and the tax extracted is a lot of money!"

"And the Ping An Bank, which is a big gold absorber, how many big trucks are lined up with money just pulled into the vault every day, how can you say that there is no money, compared to you, the country is very poor!"

Leng Zhuo shook his head and said: "This is not the same thing, the Weeping Blood Valley is my fiefdom, and the money I earn is naturally my private, as for the money of Ping An Bank, it is the money of depositors, how can I use it casually, it is a smashing signboard, this code is a yard, and it can't be mixed into a pool!"

"Then His Royal Highness the King of Chu means that he is not ready to follow His Majesty's will?"

"This king didn't say that, soldiers, naturally come out, Your Majesty trusts me so much, how can I drop the chain at this time, but now that the navy has not succeeded, it is still a little early to launch a large-scale battle to cross the river, it is better to attack it tentatively, it is better to take a ferry or something, and then make a calculation! This is more secure, what do you say?"

"Well, that's fine, then do it according to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, oh, by the way, the north is now in the ice and snow, the palace has been in poor health recently, and it can't stand the cold in the north, just raise it in this warm south, His Royal Highness the King of Chu should not be unwelcome!"

"Speaking of raising people, it is still the water of Yangzhou to raise people, it is better to send Her Royal Highness the princess to Yangzhou to better cultivate your body!"

"Go to Yangzhou, I have to work hard for more than half a month along the way, and the palace is really unwilling to move places!"

Damn, I think you are pure to stay under the nose of this king and make trouble: "That's okay, go back, this king will arrange a residence for His Highness!"

Finally sent away Situ Xue, Leng Zhuo returned to the back house, took off the gorgeous clothes on his body, and finally felt a lot more comfortable, holding the Wangjue token in his hand, but the material used in this token is a piece of superb warm jade, the tentacles have a faint coolness, and there is a very surging spiritual power, wearing it on the body should have the benefit of nourishing the body.

Leng Zhuo was playing, and there was a sound of chirping in the courtyard, but it was the girls who got the news and came together.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness!"

"Okay, you guys are also doing this, a broken brand, you want me to send troops to fight Li Tang, it's really beautiful, I don't know how much food this soldier and horse have to spend, the feeling is not that she takes the money, it doesn't hurt!"

"Your Highness is now the King of Chu, so should we be called Princess Chu!" Nan Fengling blinked his eyes and asked.

"Princess, it sounds much better than Madame! But it seems that this concubine is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, one concubine, three side concubines, five concubines, I don't know how Your Highness plans to divide it!"

Leng Zhuo snorted, ranking this thing is the most hateful, although women say they don't care, but whoever you rank in front of you has to cause a lot of contradictions, this is not a joke, you can't discuss this topic, hurry up.

"This, I'm not familiar with it either, by the way, I'm the king of Chu now, what can I do?" Leng Zhuo really didn't know what the princes of the Tianlong Dynasty were doing.

"What else can I do, eat, drink and have fun all day long, wine pond meat forest, drunk and dreaming of death!" Nangong Yuhu hooked his eyes and replied casually.

"Uh, there's nothing serious to do?" Leng Zhuo was also stunned, isn't this just like a pig, eating and sleeping all day long, sleeping and eating, eating enough, just a woman when you have nothing to do, although this life is very enjoyable, but I can't stand it for a long time!

"The words of the prince, there is really nothing serious to do, the empire has always raised the prince like this, unless the head is shiny, there is basically no benefit, and in the past hundred years, most of the people who can become kings have either been beheaded or thrown into the Forgotten City for distribution!"

Leng Zhuo sweated for a moment, this prince is really bright on the top of his head, even his neck is bright, this position seems to be like a curse, "Not to mention the last hundred years, when the founding of the country, the prince also had some, right?"

"At the beginning of the founding of the country, he was promoted to the king, and the canonized land was called the kingdom, which was a very independent territory, equivalent to a country within a country, the king had his own small court, had his own royal guard, and could formulate the laws of his own country, in short, he was very independent, in addition to paying tribute every year, he was a small soil emperor!"

"Oh!" Leng Zhuo's eyes couldn't help but widen when he heard this, his eyes lit up, this suited his appetite very much, although Leng Zhuo didn't plan to replace the empire now, he didn't want to be intervened by the empire, if it was this kingdom.

"Then I'm also a prince now, should I also have my own fiefdom?" Leng Zhuo asked.

The girls were suddenly dumbfounded, looking at each other for a long time, Wei Zhilan blinked her eyes and said, "This should be okay, right?"

Nangong Yuhu's eyes also lit up, and said: "Yes, during the founding emperor's period, there were a number of kings with different surnames, and these kings with different surnames were canonized as the kings of a country, and after that, before the founding emperor died, in order to avoid these kings with different surnames from affecting the rule of the dynasty, he planned a conspiracy to eradicate these kings with different surnames and take back all the internal feudals, but the Tianlong Ceremony set up by the founding emperor was not modified!"

"In other words, being crowned a king is equivalent to canonizing a kingdom!"

"No, but the princes of the past dynasties have not been canonized as kingdoms! And every generation of royal families is restricting the rights of the princes, not to mention the feudal country, that is, the fiefs are limited to some cities, and they don't have the slightest right, just eating the taxes of a city!"

"This is different, because that is a regulation for the Situ royal family, and the emperors of all dynasties have weakened the authority of the prince, but the king with a different surname is a group of heroes who were canonized by the founding emperor, and this king with a different surname is the emperor's brother, although it is a relationship between the kingdom, but it is equal in status!"

"Ha, and although our husband is stained with royal blood, he is not a direct member of the royal family, so he is not a prince, his surname is Leng, not Situ, that is to say, his king should belong to a king with a different surname, that is to say, our fief is equivalent to a feudal country, which is legally tenable!"

"Really?" Wei Zhilan also blinked, obviously not sure, because this matter was obviously a bit beyond imagination, if it could really be said like that, then there would be a lot of excitement to watch.

"Of course, when I'm bored, I have turned over the history of the empire many times, and the article formulated by the founding emperor to govern the country with a king with a different surname is engraved on the inscription of the imperial ceremony, as if no emperor has abolished this!"

"Haha, doesn't that mean that I can openly build a kingdom, and the empire can't blame me for the whole thing, and in my fiefdom, what I say is the law, and I can support the army at will! You can also collect as many taxes as you want, and even marry a few concubines!"

"Hmph, didn't think about it!"

"Except for the last one, everything else should be right!"

"Great, great, see that I'm not angry with them, tomorrow I will announce the establishment of the kingdom, hehe!"
