Chapter 2 The limits of the great vassals and the kings

Dafeng Meritorious Hero, this is another grand event of the Dahua Dynasty since Yan Quan was called emperor.

The magnificent hall has been decorated with gold, the ministers have put on formal dresses, and even the Han generals on both sides have also put on the armor carved with birds and beasts, which is particularly powerful.

All of them show the atmosphere of this powerful country.

Yan Quan was dressed in a dragon robe and sat on the main seat.

Salute, finish, and line up.

The ministers' eyes were full of fire, and they stared directly at the emperor above.

You must know that when you learn the news, the court and the whole court are really like exploding.

What is the war for the sake of the dynasty? Isn't it the marquis at this time? After several years of bloody battles, it is finally time to harvest.

From the dragon's feats!

Facing the fiery gaze of the ministers, Yan Quan waved his hand, and the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette beside him stood up, unfolded the holy decree written in yellow satin, and read it aloud.

At first, there was a series of scenes, which I didn't mention anymore, and soon, it was the main event.

After recounting the exploits of the first assistant Lin Yan, the official announced:

"Lin Yan, the first assistant of the cabinet, is the ...... of the defense of the country"

Actually, it's kind of hilarious. Not to mention that Yan Ling originally had the title of king, just after Yan Quan was called the emperor, Yan Ling was the farthest one who was posthumously crowned, and even the emperor was called.

Feng Guogong instead demoted him.

But there is no way, the meritorious service of the identity of "Lin Yan" really cannot be unsealed.

So there was a scene that was quite funny in the eyes of insiders.

However, the ministers nodded one after another.

Although he was a civil servant, as the first assistant, he sat in the central government to dispatch logistics during these days, and also put forward many very constructive suggestions in the military. Just like Xiao He and Li Shanchang at the beginning, it is natural to be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom.

However, there are also some people with regret in their eyes.

Even Lin Shoufu failed to obtain the title of prince for such a feat, obviously, it was impossible for them. It seems that in the new dynasty, there is also a different surname not a king, except for chasing the title, it seems that there is no way to give birth to a king.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but the official who read it out continued to read aloud the contents of the list.

"Yan Chengfang, the former military governor's mansion, is the prince of Chengguo."

A smile appeared on Yan Chengfang's face. After the war, he had been officially promoted from the commander of the corps to the left governor of the former military capital governor's office, ranking first.

"After the closure of the military capital governor's mansion, the left capital governor Qu Yuanju is ......"

……

Soon, all the titles were read out one by one. The highest has a total of three people who have been awarded the title of Duke of the State, and Yan Shizhao has been awarded the title of Auxiliary Duke of the State, and the lowest has been all the way up to the Baron, each with its own person. After all, don't look at the battles, it seems that many officers are not famous, but in fact, this time and again, the big battles and fierce military operations again and again also rely on these many army commanders and division commanders to support the basic structure of the campaign.

Many small and medium-sized battles were also fought by them.

Therefore, in addition to the two generals, Shoufu and Yan Shizhao who were crowned the princes of the country, other Hou Bozi men are also indispensable to them.

The Ming Dynasty removed viscounts and barons, but the Hua Dynasty restored these titles.

However, there is no hereditary succession, and the meritorious ones who are large are demoted, and the small merits are limited to themselves and cannot be passed on to the next generation.

After all, in the middle and late dynasties, there were really a few people who could hold the knife, and many of them not only failed to maintain the court, but became moths in the building. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, except for the two veins of Yue Guogong and Chen Guogong, which were personally taught by Yan Ling, only Liang Guogong and British Gong still had some ability to lead troops, but they were not comparable to some good generals who were good at fighting at the border pass.

In this way, it also stimulates those noble children to not forget the martial heart for the sake of the title.

But this is enough, the glory of the title has already made the generals rejoice, and this is more or less able to get some rewards outside of work.

Of course, in fact, only a small number of generals have received knighthoods, but even those civil and military generals who have not received knighthoods have received various rewards and promotions. All of a sudden, everyone was happy.

The ministers were happy in their hearts, but their faces were silent. In this court, before the kings, of course, they can't lose their temper. In spite of the ecstasy in their hearts, they remained calm, and then, led by the heads of the ministers at the front, they saluted in unison and expressed their gratitude to the emperor.

"Wait, thank the emperor!"

……

The matter of the knighthood also attracted Yan Ling's attention to another matter.

That's the matter of the prince being crowned king.

Yan Quan already has a son and a daughter at this time, there is no need to say that there is a prince and a princess, and now there is no king in the Hua Dynasty, so there is no need to worry about some things about the prince. But after all, he is still young, and it is inevitable that he will have a new prince in the future, so will these princes be crowned kings like the previous dynasty? In the end, just like the previous dynasty, the eldest son was hereditary, and the remaining son was demoted to the throne?

Will this new Hua Dynasty rivers and mountains, and then divide the kings? Yan Ling didn't think it was feasible.

"What you mean is that in the future, the prince will inherit the prince and will no longer be hereditary." Yan Quan looked at Yan Ling in some surprise.

Yan Ling nodded indifferently.

"Today, the treasury is separated from the treasury, with the treasury for the royal family and the treasury for the state only. If it is like the previous dynasty, the internal treasury will have to supply this huge royal family. Princes, county kings, etc., from generation to generation, will be a huge expenditure in a few hundred years, and the internal funds can afford it? What's more, it is useless to raise such a number of people. ”

"The prince was first crowned prince, and then descended from generation to generation according to the county king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male. After the baron, he became a commoner, and this was only the eldest son, and the other sons were not allowed to inherit any titles, leaving them to fend for themselves. ”

If you really don't give the lord, it will inevitably seem that the emperor is too cold, after all, he is his own descendant, and it will inevitably make the clan dissatisfied, so that from generation to generation, although there will be a certain burden, but it will not be too heavy.

Just like this, the bloodline of the family can take root and sprout in the world, and if something really happens later, it will not collapse the nest.

Yan Quan quickly figured out the benefits of this, and he decisively agreed with Yan Ling's approach.

"Ancestor, let's make a will."

He said.

Yan Ling smiled, and then suddenly thought of something, and said: "My identity, according to the age on the identity certificate, is not small. ”

"I'm a little tired from dealing with all this stuff. In the future, you can have more contact with Hong Liang. ”

Yan Quan's eyes suddenly bloomed.
