Chapter 973: Is This a Crooked Fight?

One thing to say, Li Ke considered canceling the hereditary title, but he didn't know how to get it.

Why? Because according to the current development of Datang, the possibility of Datang wanting to die on a large scale in the future is very low, if it does not die on a large scale, then some hereditary titles will be inherited, and there will still be an impact on Datang.

Just like what Cheng Yanjin said, you can eat as much as you have a big belly.

What if the eldest son of a certain country who will inherit the title of duke in the future is a fool? Or, the eldest son is a stupid ratio, but the second child is extremely good? The title is still inherited by the eldest son, is there any trouble in this country's family?

Although it is not a royal family, the troubles in the family of the prince also have an impact on the imperial court, and if it is not handled well, it will affect the reputation of the royal family, and at worst, it will affect the reputation of the imperial court.

What's more, with the continuous improvement of the imperial court system, the rights of some senior officials will be gradually restricted, but some of the rights of the national duke may be too much for the future.

Instead of troublesome later, it is better to solve it directly for him now.

However, Li Ke didn't think of a way here, but Cheng Yanjin suddenly pierced the window paper.

There are two kinds of titles in the Tang Dynasty, one is the hereditary Duke of Guo like Cheng Yanjin, that is to say, he is Lu Guogong, and in the future, his eldest son will be Lu Guogong, his eldest grandson will be Lu Guogong, and his great-great-grandson will still be Lu Guogong.

The second type of title is a normal title, such as Qin Qiong's Duke Hu Guo, whose son is demoted to inheritance.

In fact, to be precise, there are not two kinds, but only one special, that is, hereditary.

Because all titles are the second type by default, it is not said that the father is the prince of the country, and the son is directly nothing, at least to the Tang Dynasty, all titles are inherited by default except for hereditary replacement.

In addition to the ministers, another special aspect of the title system is the clan, not to mention the side branches of the clan, but only to say the king.

For example, Li Tai, Li Ke, these one-word kings, such as the king of Qin and the king of Wei, these are not hereditary by default, or the emperor will never be crowned with this kind of one-word king, that is, the prince is hereditary.

is all inherited and demoted by default, that is, if Li Ke inherits their eldest son in the future, the default is to reduce to become a positive product: the heir king, the county king. And these two can be inherited by hereditary, such as Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong. But it also has to have some merit and not make mistakes.

Because in some respects, the clan is more likely to make mistakes than ordinary ministers.

The key factor in the abolition of hereditary titles is the terrible nature of the lineage.

Because the number of clans will definitely grow, and even double.

One thing to say, the Tang Dynasty clan seems to have no sound from beginning to end in history, but it is actually related to the fact that the Tang Dynasty clan has caused several disasters.

After every emperor succeeds to the throne, there will always be a few brothers, and a lot of sons and the like, if these sons are princes, will this prince still be worth a few hundred years?

Even if Li Ke has found a way to cancel the actual rights and interests of the prince, such as the inherited Yongye Tian and so on, there are still harms.

Because as a knighthood, there must always be some honorable rights, right? As a result, hundreds of years later, there are thousands of princes, how ugly the scene is.

Not to mention that Cheng Biting Jin is keen, no matter how he thought of it, that's how he thought of it.

This is indeed an entry point, and Cheng Yanjin proposed it openly at the court meeting, as the left servant of Shangshu Province, Fang Xuanling has already agreed to the discussion of the three provinces, regardless of whether this is whether Li Shimin sat on it and deliberately threw it to Fang Xuanling, but from any point of view.

This has attracted the attention of the Tang Dynasty, and in the end it must have given a response, and since Cheng Yanjin proposed it, it is impossible to give up halfway.

When the time comes, it will still be the same sentence, Cheng Biting Jin is not afraid of offending people, I have already thrown bricks and stones, whether you can keep up with the people behind you or not, that is a matter of your vision, and it has nothing to do with me Cheng Biting Jin.

Therefore, Cheng Biting Jin's request, Li Ke is not easy to refuse.

"This thing, it can be, but for the time being, this is a long-term and long-lasting plan, and it seems that your sons are already married, whether you want to join, how to join and discuss it yourself."

"After discussion, give a charter, and then I will arrange someone to help you set it up first, and then you will need professional personnel to deal with this matter." Li Ke said.

"Hehe, thank you King Qin, so that even if I die fighting for the country, I can be regarded as having something to gain." Cheng bit Jin and arched his hand at Li Ke.

"Hurry up and go drinking, the New Year's Eve will not let people have a good New Year." Li Ke didn't bother to pay attention to him, you are a fifty-year-old person, what are you messing with with me as a child all day long?

It's still a baby, and it's not yet a crown.

Cheng Yanjin walked to the banquet venue by himself, and Li Ke also followed in, since the side hall of the Taiji Hall was changed to a round table, the number of people accommodated has also increased, and now the ministers can basically accommodate it.

After Li Ke came in, he first looked around, Li Shimin hadn't come yet, and the table hadn't opened yet, it was some pre-dinner snacks and tea, so that everyone could exchange feelings.

After thinking about it, Li Ke simply walked to a few tables, and some people always had to say hello, after all, this year was the first year.

"Your Highness." Seeing Li Ke coming, Jiang Quhu and the people at their table all stood up, Li Yinan was naturally among them, Li Yinan is now the Duke of the Kingdom, from the first product, although it is not hereditary, and there is no real power, but the New Year's Dynasty will definitely come.

Speaking of which, Li Yinan is also very simple, and now he is not too close to those Turkic nobles, and he really grasps the key point of survival. In addition to Li Yinan, the titles of several other Turkic nobles of the original Xue Yantuo are not low, and they are all from the second grade.

So they naturally have the right, but it is the gang in the Western Regions, that is, Jiang Quhu has this right.

"Everyone, are you still comfortable with life in Chang'an?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

"It's so adaptable, it's too adaptable." Several other Turkic nobles are also at the same table as Li Yinan, and their table is basically similar people, and everyone is very self-aware, after all, they don't have any real power.

But today they have also gone to the court, and they have seen what the Tang Dynasty will be like, which is really a bit ...... It's amazing! His Royal Highness made a speech, and today someone is going to give up the hereditary title?

To be honest, they all felt a little outrageous. The nobles of the steppe did not listen to the Khan so much. Of course, they are all smart people, and they didn't come to Chang'an to do these things, just listen obediently.

"It's good to adapt, the Spring Festival holiday is the most prosperous time in Chang'an, feel more feelings, and go to see other cities in Datang in two years, you must be worth the trip." Li Ke said with a smile.
