super king glory

He never expected that Queen Ying Xiya would give him such a great reward.

Wang Xiaojian is the prince of the Xia Kingdom, and he understands the meaning of "Duke of Zhen Guo".

Xia Guo's titles are divided into five levels in total, from high to low, namely Duke, Marquis, Bo, Zi, and Nan.

Before that, Wang Xiaojian was Marquis of Zhen Guo, and his title was Marquis.

But now, Ying Xiya named him the Duke of the Town, and his title had risen to Duke.

This is the highest title.

In terms of status, Duke Zhen is higher than Marquis Zhen.

In Xia Kingdom, "Duke Zhen" is the highest-ranking existence besides the empress.

No matter whether it is Xia Guo's prime minister, Zhao Kuang, Chu Dongliu, such kings with different surnames, they cannot be compared with him!

This is the highest honor.

Really under one person, above tens of thousands of people!

In addition, Wang Xiaojian also understood the meaning of rewarding fiefs.

When the level has reached the level of a prince, they can generally get rewards from fiefdoms.

Because the recipient is the prince of Xia himself.

Although the land was sealed off, legally speaking, it still belonged to the Xia Kingdom.

However, once the fief is conferred, it also means that everything in this fief, including the power of life and death, is under the control of the conferee.

In addition to handing over part of the taxes in the fief to the imperial court.

For others, it is only necessary to report the situation in the fief to the emperor on a regular basis.

The owner of the fief can even make laws in his own fief.

Almost China!

8 Chapter Forty

Therefore, in Xia Kingdom, rewarding fiefdoms is the highest level reward.

Only people above the princely ranks are eligible to obtain fiefdoms.

However, what surprised Wang Xiaojian was not the fact that he was awarded a fief.

It was the three words "Western Shangzhou"!

The name of Xishangzhou is a state and a province.

However, based on Wang Xiaojian's understanding of Xia Guo, he has never heard of it. Xia Guo also has a state called "Xi Shang".

Wang Xiaojian did not accept the imperial edict immediately, but asked the old eunuch Lin Youque in puzzlement, "Eunuch Lin, where is this Western Shangzhou?"

It is actually very unruly not to receive the imperial edict of the queen immediately.

However, due to Wang Xiaojian's high status, the old eunuch did not blame him.

And as Wang Xiaojian, he didn't dare to blame him.

With an easy-going smile, he held the imperial decree and explained it to Wang Xiaojian, saying: "Duke Zhen, after you recovered Shangzhou, Your Majesty the Empress divided Shangzhou into East Shangzhou and West Shangzhou with the Dashang River as the boundary. .The east of the Dashang River, to the west pass of our original Xia Kingdom, is Dongshangzhou."

"From the west of the Great Shang River to the western border of the original Shang Kingdom, there is the Western Shangzhou! Now, this Western Shangzhou is the fiefdom of Lord Zhen Guo. Everything in the fief belongs to Lord Zhen Guo."

The old eunuch smiled, and Wang Xiaojian's body was shocked.

When he reached the realm of Emperor Wu, Wang Xiaojian's vision and disposition are not what they used to be.

However, after hearing the old eunuch's explanation, his handsome face still showed a very surprised expression.

If it wasn't for the old eunuch Lin Youque who sent the imperial decree and said it himself.

He absolutely did not believe that it was such a reward.

Wang Xiaojian helped Ying Xiya to destroy the Shang Kingdom and turn the Shang Kingdom into the Xia Kingdom's Shangzhou.

But Ying Xiya directly gave half of "Shangzhou" to him!

No.

More than half.

Because, Wang Xiaojian knew that Shangzhou had a total of 23 counties.

To the west of the Dashang River, there are twelve in total.

In terms of area, the part to the west of the Dashang River is much larger than the part to the east of the Dashang River.

Western Shangzhou is even bigger than the original Xia Kingdom.

But the queen gave him such a large piece of land and made him a fief lord.

From then on, he will control the power of life and death in Western Shangzhou, and he will also be able to establish unique laws and regulations in Western Shangzhou, and be able to legally form a private army.

How much trust does it take to give him so much.

Wang Xiaojian whispered to himself.

"Miss Xi Ya, you really trust me so much that you gave me such a large fief. The area of ​​this fief is one-third of Xia Kingdom's territory today. If I have a different intention, I can completely establish myself in the Western Shangzhou. country!"

Wang Xiaojian knew that Ying Xiya had true love for him, otherwise he would never have trusted him so much.

If it wasn't for this reason, Ying Xiya would never have given such a large fief to a prince of the opposite sex.

Because the hidden danger is too great.

Of course, Wang Xiaojian will not have any dissatisfaction.

After all, Empress Ying Xiya is his woman.

If you really want to talk about it, this country of Xia is almost his.

After all, if he and Ying Xiya have children in the future, they will be the princess and prince of Xia.

If Ying Xiya abdicates one day.

The new emperor enthroned must be his son.
