Zhi Xuan

The name change of Nanyou Country involves an important issue, that is, the ownership of Zhao Land.

Under normal circumstances, when Zhao Hao ascended the throne and inherited You's property, Zhao Geography should be returned to Bei'an Kingdom.Now he advocates changing the name, changing You to Zhao, and the monarch to the Zhao family. Will this fief be returned?

The Marquis of Bei'an didn't make things difficult for his son, he said generously that the land of Zhao still belonged to Zhao Hao, it was a fief he gave to his son, and Bei'an would not take it back.

There is a Zhongdu clan who is dedicated to formulating etiquette. Hearing this, he couldn't help frowning and said: "It doesn't fit the etiquette."

"Dowry." Bei'an Hou said concisely and decisively.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not expecting such an operation.After thinking about it carefully, there is indeed no problem with this answer, and it is very reasonable.

When a king marries a daughter, he will prepare a rich pretense.The country is as small as Marquis Mo, unable to prepare a large enough fiefdom for Mrs. Mo, so gold mines and salt wells are used instead, so as not to be underestimated by the marriage partner.

The marriage alliance between Zhao Hao and Zhixuan means the alliance of two vassal states.Unless there is an accident, such as the two people completely turning their faces, this marriage that symbolizes the covenant will be unbreakable.

I heard that at the time of the engagement, Bei'an Hou Dangchao announced that he would double the dowry and dowry for his son. The eldest son and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had no objection.

Now that Zhao Hao wants to change the name of the country, in front of the princes of the world, the Marquis of Bei'an will never dismantle his son, and will definitely support him to ensure that Zhao Hao's request can be passed smoothly.

It's just a piece of land, and it's given to my own son, so I can't bear it.

Ten thousand steps back, with Xuancheng and Haocheng around, it is easy to get land.Pick a suitable day and lead the soldiers to walk around the grassland, and you can circle back ten times and a hundred times.

After a brief silence, discussions erupted in the hall.

Everyone tried to lower their voices as much as possible, but hundreds of people spoke together, and the voices were intertwined, making it extremely noisy, and it was really difficult to suppress it.

Seeing that Wang Huai did not express his opinion for a long time, Zhao Hao invited him again.

Things can be one or two, not over and over again.

Zhao Hao opened his mouth twice, adhering to the etiquette in his words and deeds, giving the king face.If Ren Wang Huai does not make an order and fails to give a suitable reason, the consequences will become very serious, and the rookie Wang may not be able to step down.

The waiter turned his head carefully and looked at him out of the corner of his eye. Seeing Wang Huai's serious expression and clenched fists, he could more or less guess what he was thinking at the moment.But the situation is stronger than the people, the princes of the world are present, and if they don't want to create an unmanageable situation, the king of people must give in even if he is unwilling.

"allow."

Due to the situation, Wang Huaidang ordered Zhao Hao to play the favor.

Since then, Nanyou Kingdom has become history, and Nanzhao Kingdom has replaced it.

Zhao Hao has no intention of doing things to the extreme, the other party is a king of men, leaving no room for it is not in line with the clan's style.Therefore, after fulfilling his wish, he handed in a letter, presenting a large number of rare treasures to congratulate the king on his ascension to the throne, and two giant elephants will arrive in the central capital soon.

The waiter unfolded the above table and recited every word in the hall.

Human Wang Huai's expression gradually relaxed. Although the king's power was taken away, at least the other party had no intention of doing it, and was willing to use actions to help him maintain his dignity.

After Zhao Hao, Zhixuan and Bei'anhou made their appearance one after another, and Donglianghou also did not fall behind.

The four major princes all presented gifts to the king, especially the prince of Xiyuan who was the most generous.

Among Zhixuan's gifts, there are countless treasures, including exotic animals and rare birds.The porcelain and silk of Xiyuan Kingdom are extremely exquisite and priceless. He sent five carts at a time, which is jaw-dropping.

In addition, he also gave a piece of land to Wang Huai, which was located deep in the grassland, and the map was sent along with the form.The land resources are marked in detail on the map. It is not surprising that there is a gem mine in the forest and grassland!

"Caibao?" Wang Huai was shocked to receive such a great gift.Thinking he heard it wrong, he snatched the watch book with his hands and interrupted the waiter's recitation.Read it from the beginning to the end, confirming that every word and every sentence is true, I almost lost my composure on the spot.

"There are mines in the land, I offer it to the king as a congratulation." Zhi Xuan said loudly.

The reason why Zhi Xuan offered the land and mineral deposits was after careful consideration, and he definitely did not make a decision on the back of his head.

The alliance of princes is to weaken the capital city, which is equivalent to suppressing the king and the royal family.

He doesn't care about the royal family. In view of the behavior of some members of the royal family, it is already kind of him not to wave the butcher knife.When it comes to Wang Huai, he needs to act cautiously.

The two had known each other for a long time, and they had cooperated with each other before. Yuan Tao married him and became his side wife.

Zhi Xuan knew exactly what the clan's means were.But he has his own rules of conduct. As early as when he formulated the constitution of the alliance, he had deeper plans.

The princes can be dragged into the chariot, but there is no reason why Wang Huai can't.

If the benefits are not enough, continue to superimpose, and land and mineral deposits are just stepping stones.

Kick open the door, open the window with both hands, show the other party a wider world, and draw a refreshing blueprint. I believe that very few people will not be tempted.

If Wang Huai hesitated, the insights of the Empress Dowager Yi and Queen Ji would push him into the chariot.The final result must be to unite with the princes, with the blade facing outward, and work together to expand the territory.

To put it bluntly, in the era of savages running in Eurasia, horse racing could win large tracts of fertile soil, and only fools would cling to an acre of three-point land in the Central Plains.Even if there is friction in the future, or even sword-to-army confrontation, the land and resources will still be in the hands of our own people, and the real meat will rot in the pot, and outsiders will never touch it.

This is also an important reason why Zhi Xuan is not busy changing dynasties.

Reduce internal friction and let the princes' troops go out to have fun so as not to waste manpower.Although the private soldiers of the royal family are weak, it is not a problem to catch wildlings.

With enough land and food, material resources are extremely abundant, so why worry about the population not growing explosively.

A larger population can control more resources.

This is a virtuous circle, which is far better than brainstorming in the Central Plains, leaving a large area of ​​unowned land to run wild with wild beasts and savages.

It is true that the princes have selfish intentions, but there is one thing that is true. The royal family has been lying on the credit book for too long and has lost their aggressiveness.This situation is fatal to any vassal state.The status of Zhongdu City is detached, and it is no exception.

If things go on like this, even if it's not Zhi Xuan, someone will stand up and take away the authority of the king.

Zhixuan was willing to keep the Zhongdu City anyway, and took the trouble to protect King Ren's face, and even wanted to pull King Huai into the chariot.It may not be happy to change to someone else.

Of course, Zhixuan's willingness to pull Wang Huai was not unconditional.

When dealing with members of the royal family, Wang Huai's attitude was clear enough, he did not make peace, did not cover up favoritism, and was thorough and fair, which convinced the princes.

It doesn't matter if it's all his idea, or there's the queen mother pushing behind, continue to maintain this kind of wisdom, Zhixuan doesn't mind pulling him into the chariot, breaking free from limitations, taking him to appreciate the scenery farther away, let him see the real What is the concept of "world".

Zhi Xuan's generous gift was equivalent to offering an olive branch.

Seeing his sincerity, Ren Wang Huai had mixed feelings.

He thought that he would become a puppet in this life and become the mouthpiece of the great princes, with nothing but symbolic meaning.I don't want everything to turn around.It was like discovering a source of water in the depths of the desert, seeing the dawn in the darkness, Wang Huai was so excited, the boiling emotion was hard to restrain, so that the circles of his eyes were red.

Seeing Wang Huai's expression, one knew that he understood the true meaning of presenting gifts.

Zhi Xuan didn't make a statement in the hall, and returned to his seat neatly, waiting to be summoned after the early court.

The four princes took the lead in presenting gifts, representing the attitude of the four towards the man Wang Huai.

The royal family is certainly hateful, and it needs to be dealt with severely.The person Wang Huai was implicated innocently and needs to be treated differently and should not be lumped together.The respect must be respected, without faux pas.

After receiving the signal, the princes, big and small, were determined, and stood up one after another.

The waiters were overwhelmed, and their throats and eyes were dry after reading, but there were still half of the table books piled up in front of them, all of which were records of gifts from the monarch.

Some older members of the Zhongdu clan were deeply moved.Recalling that when the former king ascended the throne, there was never such a grand occasion.For a moment, I was a little confused, whether Xiyuanhou was good or evil, and whether the four princes were loyal or rebellious.

Due to the gifts offered by the princes, the court meeting was extended and lasted until the afternoon.

When the news spread to the harem, even the queen mother showed a surprised expression, sat upright suddenly, and ordered the servants to go to the main hall quickly, and report back after confirming it was correct.

The waiter knew that every sentence was true and there was no exaggeration in what he said, but he still didn't dare to disobey the Queen Mother's will, and hurried to the main hall.On the way, they met the servants sent by Queen Ji, and they looked at each other, and they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes, and more excitement.

The servant left in a hurry, and the queen mother rarely fell into anxiety.A quarter of an hour passed, but it seemed like an entire hour.

Finally, the servants left and returned, the Queen Mother stopped pacing and ordered the servants to enter the palace to report.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the four major princes offered gifts, and the Marquis of Xiyuan was especially thick, with land and mines. The monarchs of various countries followed, and the gift letters piled up like a mountain."

The servant has been in the palace for many years, and has experienced two generations of kings, this is the first time he has encountered such a grand event.Barely maintaining his composure, he couldn't restrain his emotions as he spoke, with excitement and joy in his voice.

The Empress Dowager asked again and again until the attendant couldn't explain any new details, then waved her to order her to leave.

Before today, she and Wang Huai had the same idea, and even prepared for the worst situation.I don't want to see the flowers in the dark, and the road turns around. I had this adventure in the first court meeting.

After going through the ups and downs of the court and seeing many ups and downs, the Empress Dowager knows the importance of presenting gifts better than Wang Huai.The most critical thing is the attitude of the four princes, more precisely, the attitude of Xiyuanhou.

"Turning opportunity, vitality."

No one wants to be a mascot for life, and the world mentions it like a symbol, which only has symbolic meaning.

If Wang Huai is mediocre and incompetent, it doesn't matter to be a mascot.The key point is that he is capable and ambitious, but due to the situation, he had to give up, force himself to endure, and become an inaction monarch.

The queen mother knew that her son was not reconciled, but what if she was not reconciled?

The big princes don't let go, and the capital city of China is doomed to decline day by day.

The royal family has no achievements at all, so thank God if they don't hold back, expecting them to give advice is a daydream.

Originally, the Queen Mother had already given up, and tried every means to persuade Wang Huai to let him be content with the status quo, at least not to touch the stone with the power disparity.

Never expected that Marquis Nishihara would send such a heavy gift.

In connection with the recent events and the change in Xi Yuanhou's attitude, the Queen Mother suddenly felt that it was wise to take a ruthless hand against the royal family.

"Do you want to come again?"

If you want to firmly grasp the olive branch handed over by Marquis Nishihara, you must show the utmost sincerity.

The Empress Dowager ordered someone to fetch the roster of the royal family, including the branches, and flipped through the books one by one, planning to find a few as a return gift to Marquis Xiyuan.

It cannot be said that she is cruel.

As far as the actions of the royal family members were concerned, nine out of ten were caught whipping, and it was not 100% accurate, at least half of them were not innocent.

The queen mother made up her mind, and when she met a suitable candidate, she immediately took a pen to record it.

These people can't introspect themselves and can't restrain their families. They expropriate and bully men and women in the feudal land, causing anger and resentment. They should be selected as targets.

Getting rid of them can not only show sincerity to Marquis Xiyuan, but also make the royal family become honest as soon as possible, and less delay if they can't support the king.
