The civil and military officials in the court looked at the isolated figure on the altar and slowly knelt down on the ground.

In the Taimiao worshipping ancestors, all the civil and military officials in the court need to kneel down and no one is exceptional.

Zhao Zhen stood alone.

Be more domineering and domineering.

After the civil and military officials in the court kneel down and bow down.

Zhao Zhen spoke again, "Since I ascended the throne, I have been sleeping day and night, and have worked diligently. With the assistance of my beloved ministers, I have conquered the Western Regions, destroyed the Western Xia, settled Dali, restored Yanyun, swept the Liao Kingdom, and overthrew Goryeo.

And today we will unify and return to the world.

My Song Dynasty ushered in an unprecedented prosperous era.

I should reward the meritorious officials and commend his merits.”

After Zhao Zhen said this, his eyes swept around the faces of the civil and military officials in the court and shouted: "Present the imperial edict!"

Chen Lin led a group of small eunuchs, holding rolls of yellow scrolls, and appeared under the altar in small steps.

After Chen Lin bowed to heaven and earth and Zhao Zhen, she picked up a volume of imperial edict and raised it high above her head.

"Duke Yong, Privy Councilor, and the deputy governor of the political affairs Kou Ji, came forward to be granted the title!"

Kou Ji bowed to heaven and earth, to the place where the ancestors of the Zhao family were, to Zhao Zhen, and slowly stepped forward.

After Kou Ji stepped forward, Chen Lin launched an imperial edict and read it: "The imperial edict said... Duke Yong, Privy Councilor, and the chief official of the political affairs of Kou Ji, has made many outstanding achievements for our Song Dynasty, fighting against evil and quarrel, suppressing rebellions, losing territory, opening up territory, and making outstanding achievements...

He was awarded the title of Duke Yong, Privy Councilor, and the Chief Minister of Political Affairs Kou Ji, and was admitted to Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion, ranking third...

Give the title of King Han...

Granted the title of Han land...

Heralds and resigns with the country, and forever town to the Han area..."

Zhao Zhen’s edict to enthrone Kou Ji was very particular. Although Kou Ji’s contributions were high, it was not an exaggeration to call him the first merit since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

However, when Zhao Zhen gave Kou Ji to Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion again, Kou Ji was only ranked third.

Because the first civil servant was Kou Ji's grandfather.

As a grandson, Kou Ji could not hang before Kou Zhun in the place where he hanged his image.

The first military minister is Gao Huaide.

That was the first achievement of the founding of the country recognized by Taizu and Taizong.

Zhao Zhen listed Kou Ji above Gao Huaide and was easily gossiped about.

So Zhao Zhen ranked Kou Ji in third place.

As for South Korea, it was not the old Korean land during the Warring States Period.

But Goryeo.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains called Goryeo the Han area.

"The Three Kingdoms: The Biography of the Dongyi of Wuwan and Xianbei" records: At the end of Huan and Ling, Han Feng was strong and the counties could not be controlled, and most people flowed into South Korea.

Therefore, the Han area in Zhao Zhen’s edict was Goryeo.

Of course, the most important thing is that the king is first-class.

If the king is first served, he is the prince.

The Prince is the highest rank.

The second is the King of Heroes.

Again, the prince.

You should know that before that, only the royal family, and a very small number of people in the royal family, were qualified to obtain the title of Prince.

None of them was granted the title of Prince in a different surname.

Not only are there no different surnames alive, but there are also no different surnames alive.

When all the civil and military officials of the court heard that Zhao Zhen had appointed Kou Ji as the prince, they were all shocked.

Even Kou Ji himself was very shocked.

One is that Zhao Zhen actually gave him a prince.

Second, Zhao Zhen actually gave the title of king to him, not Kou Tianci.

After careful consideration, Kou Ji roughly understood Zhao Zhen’s thoughts.

Zhao Zhen should have wanted to put the king on his head first, and then wait until Kou Tianci and Baoqing get married, and then let Kou Ji pass the throne to Kou Tianci.

Zhao Zhen regarded Kou Ji as a brother.

How could Kou Ji fights hard and let Kou Tianci enjoy the king's lord alone?

After Chen Lin announced the imperial edict, Kou Ji took a deep breath, bowed slowly to Zhao Zhen on the altar, and said in a deep voice: "The prince is not a royal family, and I dare not accept it. I also asked the official to take it back."

It was a foregone conclusion that Zhao Zhen was named king, and Kou Ji could not stop him.

However, Zhao Zhen was conferred a prince of another surname, and Kou Ji felt that he still needed to stop him.

Kou Ji can also afford the title of Prince.

But Kou Ji felt that the prince and the successor were the same for him and would not affect his fiefdom.

There is no need for Zhao Zhen to set this precedent.

If Zhao Zhen's successor took this precedent to promise the prince like a cabbage.

That wouldn't look good.

After all, in historical books, Song Huizong appointed Tong Guan as the Prince of Guangyang, which became a laughing stock in the Huizong Dynasty.

When the civil and military officials in the court heard Kou Ji's words, they looked different.

Most of them think that Kou Ji knew the general and knew how to advance and retreat, and did not take credit for himself.

There are also a small number of people with other thoughts.

But neither Zhao Zhen nor Kou Ji cared.

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and said solemnly: "Prince, you can bear it."

Kou Ji admitted: "The official should not set this precedent."

Zhao Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Super one's order..."

Kou Ji gave a deep gift, "Thank you for your kindness."

Zhao Zhen didn't say anything more.

Chen Lin handed the imperial edict to Kou Ji, and at the same time, he took a box from the plate held by the little eunuch behind him and presented it to Kou Ji with both hands.

What is in the box is the King of Han who belongs to Kou Ji.

After Kou Ji received the decree and Han Wangxi, he saluted Zhao Zhen again.

"Thank you, the official, Long'en."

Kou Ji took the order and Han Wangxi and took three steps back and slowly turned around.

The civil and military officials bowed together to salute.

"See King Han!"

Kou Ji whispered: "No gift!"

After the civil and military officials of the court stood up, Kou Ji retreated to his position.

Chen Lin took out a yellow roll again and gave it to her head.

According to the etiquette he had performed before, he shouted: "Tongzhi, the Privy Council, Zhong Shiheng, came forward to be granted!"

Zhong Shiheng learned the etiquette of Kou Ji before, performed the ceremony and slowly stepped forward.

Chen Lin unfolded the yellow scroll and shouted loudly: "The edict said... The magistrate of the Privy Council is in charge of Zhong Shiheng. Since he became an official, he has made many outstanding achievements for our Song Dynasty, established Qingjian, pacified Xixia, conquered Dali, settled Hexi, restored Yanyun, conquered Liao Kingdom, destroyed Goryeo, and made outstanding achievements...

He was granted the magistrate of the Privy Council and was appointed as the Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion, ranking tenth...

He was awarded the title of third-class king and the title of Dongyang...

Granted the title of Dongyang...

Heralds and resigns with the country, and forever town Dongyang..."

The third grade of the king is the prince.

Since then, Zhong Shiheng has been the prince of Dongyang County in the Song Dynasty.

The fiefdom of Dongyang was not within the Song Dynasty.

But overseas.

Yang is the new name Zhao Zhen gave to Japan.

Dongyang is the eastern part of Japan.

When Zhong Shiheng heard that Zhao Zhen had sealed him to Dongyang, he was confused for a long time, but he didn't know where Dongyang was.

But I still receive the will in a regular manner.

Then he received a visit from all the civil and military officials of the court and returned to his own position.

Those who were later granted were not Gao Chugong and Zhu Neng.

But Liu Heng.

“…”

"I sent the Japanese envoy Liu Heng to join Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion and ranked 21st..."

"Given the title of third rank, and the title of Xiyang..."

"Given the title of Xiyang land..."

“…”

"I was granted the Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor Zhu Neng to join Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion and ranked 14th..."

"Give the title of third class, and the title of Xiyi..."

"Give the title of Xiyi land..."

“…”

"The Marquis of Xiangfu Gao Weizhao was given the title of Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion, ranking 24th..."

"Given the title of third rank, and the title of Yanshan..."

"Given the Yanshan Land..."

“…”

"Given the general of the Zhenbei Army, Yang Wenguang, to join Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion, and ranked 27th..."

"Give the Duke a first-class title, and the title of Yan..."

"Promoted to Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor..."

“…”

"The General of Yongxing Army Di Qing was granted to Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion and ranked 13th..."

"Give the Duke a first-class title, and the title is Liao..."

"Promoted to the head of the head of the head of the head..."

“…”

"I was granted the Yongning Army General Chen Yaozi to join Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion and ranked twenty..."

"Give the Duke a first class and be called Qiao..."

“…”

Chen Lin read the decree one by one. The people who were granted the title were received by the people who were granted the title. If the people who were given the title were not present, there were eunuchs and imperial vanguards who rode on horseback to send the decree.

Chen Lin read dozens of decrees.

In an instant, there were five living kings of different surnames, four first-class dukes and thirteen second-class dukes.

Lu Yijian had already been granted the title of second-class duke in Baozhou, otherwise there would be more.

As Chen Lin read out the last decree.

The martial merit group of the Song Dynasty reached an unprecedented level in an instant.

Even the founding heroes could not compare with them.

Because they had five living kings of different surnames, one of them was the second-class heir.

The military officials were so excited that they couldn't hold on to themselves.

The civil officials stared at the martial officials with complicated expressions.

The civil officials had envy, jealousy, and disdain in their eyes, but they were not afraid.

Because everyone in the Taimiao knows it.

The titles of the kings who were granted this time were then moved from the Song Dynasty with their clans. In this life, they could not enter the Song Dynasty again without the emperor's summons, and there was no threat to them.

Kou Ji was enfeoffed in Goryeo, the easternmost part of the Song Dynasty.

Zhong Shiheng was enfeoffed in Japan, on the southeastern side of the Song Dynasty.

Liu Heng was also granted the title of Japan and divided the country with Zhong Shiheng.

Zhu Neng was granted the title of the Western Regions, and his fief was in the Western Uighurs outside Shazhou.

After Kou Ji and others led their troops to leave Hexi, Chen Yaozi, who stayed in Hexi, successively occupied a large number of territory of the Uighurs in Xizhou.

Zhu Neng's fiefdom was the territory of the Western Uighurs occupied by Chen Yaozi.

The fief of Gao Chugong's youngest son Gao Weizhao was in the northernmost part of the Song Dynasty. After occupying the northwest road of the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty changed the northwest road of the Liao Kingdom into two prefectures.

Among them, Dongfu is ancient Mongolian.

Xifu is Yanshan.

Gao Weizhao's fiefdom is outside Yanshan Prefecture.

Among the five fiefs, Gao Weizhao's fief is the largest and the poorest.

The second is Zhong Shiheng and Liu Heng.

Again, it is Kou Ji's fiefdom, and Kou Ji's fief is relatively rich.

Finally, it is Zhu Neng's.

Chen Lin stopped for a long time after reading the edict to enthrone Kou Ji and others.

Then Zhao Zhen ordered him to continue promulgation.

A young eunuch once again offered a large number of imperial edicts.

Chen Lin followed the previous process and delivered a tribute to the decree.

The imperial edicts read out this time were basically all written by this civil servant.

Almost all of them are promoted.

After Zhao Zhen rewarded the military officials, he did not neglect the civil officials.

As Kou Ji said before.

This time, the Song Dynasty was able to make such contributions, not only military officials had their contributions, but also civil officials had great contributions.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen deserves the reward.

The enthronement and rewards continued until nightfall.

After Zhao Zhen enthroned and rewarded all the civil and military officials.

From the east of Bianjing City, a medicine-haired puppet rose.

Then, puppets of medicine were launched into the sky, reflecting the city of Bianjing into a city that never sleeps.

Zhao Zhen stepped on the light reflected by the medicine puppet, leading all the civil and military officials out of the Taimiao and into the palace.

In the palace.

The female family members of civil and military affairs in the court had already sat there, and Empress Cao and a group of concubines were sitting with her.

After Zhao Zhen led all the civil and military officials into the palace, the banquet officially began.

Singing, dancing, wine and meat were moved into the palace like flowing water.

Zhao Zhen and the civil and military officials in the court drank happily.

Outside the palace.

It's also very lively.

The people are celebrating.

Singing all night long, singing and dancing, setting off fireworks and firecrackers.

Such a grand celebration lasted for three days before it slowly ended.

The five new crown princes, Kou Ji, Zhong Shiheng, Liu Heng, Zhu Neng and Gao Weizhao, left the palace horizontally.

Almost all the civil and military officials toasted the five of them during the banquet.

The military officials toasted them purely to be happy for them.

The civil officials toasted them purely to build relationships.

After all, the five new kings will leave Beijing later and there will be no conflict of interest with the civil officials in the future.

The two sides may have to communicate for a long time in the future.

Kou Ji carried him out of the palace and slept in the mansion for a day and a night before slowly awakening.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xiang Yan standing in front of his bed with most of the managers in the mansion.

Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak.

I saw Xiang Yan bowing, "I have seen His Highness the King of Han..."

The managers also saluted one after another.

"See Your Highness, King Han..."

Kou Ji rubbed his head, which was a little painful, rolled his eyes slightly and said, "Stop making trouble, go down. I, the King of Han, can't sit for a few days."

Xiang Yan smiled and drove away the servant, slowly walked to Kou Ji's bed, and brought a bowl of ginseng soup to Kou Ji.

Before Kou Ji could take a sip of ginseng soup, he saw Kou Zhun enter the room with his hands on his back.

"I have met His Highness, Kou Zhun..."

After Kou Zhun entered the room, he looked at Kou Ji on the bed with a stern look.

Xiang Yan stood up straight with the ginseng Tang, staring at Kou Zhun in shock.

Kou Ji said laughing and crying: "Grandfather, are you ridiculing me?"

Kou Zhun said unrestrainedly: "I dare not, as a citizen of the Song Dynasty, when I saw the Successor of the Song Dynasty, I naturally had to salute me."

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and said to Xiang Yan: "You go down first."

Xiang Yan nodded, bowed to Kou Zhun, and left the room with ginseng soup.

Kou Ji got up from the bed, put on his clothes in a hurry, and greeted Kou Zhun.

"The grandson returned on an expedition and had never visited his grandfather. He also asked his grandfather to forgive his crime."

Kou Zhun took a seat beside Kou Ji, and said lightly: "You have made great contributions to my life and death in the Song Dynasty. I am also a minister of the Song Dynasty. How could I blame you for such a trivial matter?"

Kou Ji straightened his waist and said with a smile: "What does that grandfather mean to mock me just now?"

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said unceremoniously: "I just came here to see if my new king of Kou Mansion has been superior to others after he was named king."

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at Kou Zhun suspiciously and said, "Since I returned to Beijing, I have been in the palace for three consecutive days and have just returned home.

I didn't go out to show off my title."

Kou Zhun sighed and said, "I still understand your boy's character. But if you don't show off, it doesn't mean others won't show off.

Your younger brothers are now in Bianjing City, and they boast about being the younger brothers of King Han whenever they meet. Many people in Bianjing City are following them, and they are very popular."

Kou Ji was stunned, "Brother?!"

Kou Zhun snorted.

Kou Ji pondered and said, "Was my father born to my aunts?"

Kou Zhun snorted coldly: "Who dares to claim to be your brother besides them?"

Having said this.

Kou Zhun said coldly: "Since they have become sensible, they have been doing things outside under the name of you and me. It is just because of your majesty, so they dare not do great evil, but they keep small evil.

In addition, your father is also a minister in the court, so if they make a small mistake, your father will calm himself down.

So even if the news spreads, I don’t bother to pay attention to it.

But after you become king this time, your younger brothers will not be able to restrain themselves.

In just two days, they received more filial piety than I received for most of my life.”

Kou Ji frowned when he heard this.

Kou Zhun continued: "I'm here to remind you so that they won't cause any disaster later."

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Let me go back to the mansion."

Kou Zhun nodded and asked, "Does your position be passed to Tianci later?"

Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhun in shock.

Kou Zhun admitted: "It's not difficult to guess this matter. You and the officials still have major issues that have not been completed, so the officials cannot let you leave Beijing. So the throne under your butt will definitely be passed to Tianci."

Seeing that Kou Zhun had guessed this, Kou Ji did not hide it and said frankly: "If I expected it would be right, the official should then issue an order to marry Tianci and Princess Baoqing.

After they get married, my throne will be passed to God.”

Kou Zhun said in a deep voice: "In other words, is it Tianci who turned around to take the Kou family to the fiefdom?"

Kou Ji nodded.

Kou Zhun said solemnly: "Tianci is not old, and some of the clan elders in the clan will inevitably rely on their seniority in front of him. Your father is not a good thing, so maybe he will bully Tianci with those clan elders.

Can Tianci suppress them?"

Kou Ji admitted: "I don't know if Tianci can control it or not. But I have prepared a lot of backup for Tianci."

Kou Zhun's eyes were fixed, he stared at Kou Ji, and whispered a word.

"Soldier?!"

Kou Ji nodded.

Kou Zhun sighed and said, "It is impossible not to be done."

Kou Ji was stunned, "Why?"

Kou Zhun sighed again and said, "After all, they are from my Kou clan. It's okay to punish me, but if you move the troops, I'm sorry to my ancestors."

Kou Ji frowned and said, "But Tianci is not you and me, nor is it the power of you and me. You know what kind of virtues those people are, grandfather, too. If they start to make trouble, Tianci will not be able to suppress them."

Kou Zhun sighed and said, "If you can't suppress them, leave them in the Song Dynasty."

Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhun in shock and said in disbelief: "The official will be relocated to the family."

Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and said earnestly: "Since my Kou grandfather moved to Bianjing City, there are only six people in my Kou family's genealogy."

Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhun in disbelief.

Kou Zhun continued: "One is my great-grandfather, one is my grandfather, one is my father, one is me, one is you, and one is God's gift."

Kou Ji took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Grandfather, if this matter is spread, it will be unfavorable to your reputation."

In this era when clans are grouping together, if you leave the clan, you will be infamous for going north.

Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "So I need you to find the official family and let the official family decide this matter."

Kou Ji hesitated and said, "The official family also needs a reason."

Kou Zhun said quietly: "Isn't this reason enough to weaken your power to build a fiefdom?"

Kou Ji was silent for a while and said, "Once it is split, someone in the court will inevitably take action against Kou and test you and me."

What should we do then?

If I trouble finding my father, what should I do?"

Kou Zhun said in a deep voice: "What should be given to them, our grandparents and grandchildren have given them. They have long relied on our power to make a fortune.

But they are not greedy enough, and their wealth can no longer satisfy them.

They want more.

Then our grandparents and grandchildren have to give up on them.

Our grandparents and grandchildren can give them a wealth of wealth, and it would be fine if they were even more.

But they cannot give them power and let them harm the people.

Once they are letting them harm the people.

So what is the difference between our Kou family and the Shi family and Pan family in the past?

The days for the royal relatives and military officials to cause trouble have passed, but it is still the one you and the official have eliminated.

You can't support another disaster."

Kou Ji pondered and said, "But now the official family has granted a fief. After they arrive on the fief, they can't make any big waves. Even if they join forces to bully Tianci, Tianci still has countermeasures."

Kou Zhun asked without hesitation: "Can Tianci not kill anyone?"

Kou Ji frowned and remained silent.

Kou Zhun sighed, "We cannot kill them, nor can we help them cause disaster, so we can only make a separation. They each have a wealth of thousands of dollars, which is enough to make them rich for two or three generations.

So even if we have a separation from them, they can live and nourish.

If they are not greedy and cause trouble.

That's what they took.

It is not the responsibility of you and my grandparents.

If we don't split and let them cause trouble.

Sooner or later, you, my grandparents and grandchildren will fall into the trouble they have caused.”

Speaking of this, Kou Zhun gritted his teeth and said angrily: "It's hateful to say it. When they do something wrong, they are the names of your grandparents and grandchildren.

When we sent people to control them, they did not mention us, but instead mentioned our ancestors and seniority.

In their eyes, our grandparents and grandchildren are tools.

When you compete for fame and fortune, you can use it.

The rest of the time was left aside and abandoned by them.

Which of the Song Dynasty mentioned our grandparents and grandchildren without looking at admiration?

On the contrary, they mentioned our grandparents and grandchildren, and only saw fame and fortune.

They have lost their eyes by fame and fortune.

I don’t know how much I have.”

Kou Ji frowned and remained silent.

Kou Zhun continued: "You will stay in Bianjing City in the future, and your status is very different. You will not know about Cao's use of the old story of his nephew Cao Yan.

If someone takes advantage of them, take the opportunity to put the yellow robe on any of them.

Not only do they have to finish, but you, my grandparents and grandchildren also have to finish."

Speaking of this, Kou Zhun stared at her eyes and said in a heavy voice: "What's even more terrible is that if you, my grandparents and grandchildren cannot satisfy their desires, if they are resentful, put their yellow robe on their bodies and bite them to death, it will be even worse."

"They're not that stupid, are they?"

"People who are obsessed with profit will only be stupider. You may not know? During your conquest in Liao Kingdom, Huazhou sent someone to send me a long letter, asking me to help one of them find a position as a magistrate.

In the letter, they threatened me. If I don’t agree, they will exchange your second great-grandfather for a cemetery.

Your second great-grandfather is their own ancestor.

They can do such a crazy thing.
Chapter completed!
