"Haha, County Prince, no no, I'm afraid I will call the County Prince the King from now on!"
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the title "king" has mostly been used to refer to the emperor of a country, while those princes are called princes.
But now, Zhu Gaoyun has re-confessed the princes and kings in their respective fiefdoms, and they are naturally qualified to be called kings.
And the King of Canglan County has now become the King of Liangzhou, the great king of Liangzhou!
"How is this going?"
Zhu Tianyou looked at the Liangzhou magistrate running over and didn't know what he was talking about for a moment.
Why is a king not a king? Did the Liangzhou magistrate drink too much last night?
Normally, Zhu Tianyou's status is much higher than that of the Liangzhou magistrate, but after all, he is only a vassal king in the fiefdom, and everything in Liangzhou, large and small, is under the jurisdiction of the Liangzhou magistrate, so under normal circumstances,
Zhu Tianyou was also courteous to the prefect of Liangzhou.
Of course, the two most powerful people in this place are usually very close friends. Although the Liangzhou magistrate has a little quirk, likes eating meat, drinking, and beauties and money, his abilities are obvious to all, and he is completely qualified for this job.
Magistrate of Liangzhou.
No, under his jurisdiction, Liangzhou even built its own large granary, which was much more advantageous than other surrounding counties and cities.
Even though they had these minor problems, Sansi and Zhu Tianyou knew about them and turned a blind eye.
Even if we can find an upright and upright prefect, his governance ability cannot keep up with the current prefect. Isn’t this losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds?
Zhu Tianyou also admired this prefect very much.
No, they drank all night long last night, so they still felt a little headache this morning.
"Hey, haven't you received the news? The capital, the emperor over there in the capital, has already named you the King of Liangzhou!"
King of Liangzhou?
what?
Logically speaking, this title can only be inherited by his father's eldest son, or by the brothers and heirs of the current emperor.
How could you make me king? This is unreasonable.
"What's going on? Why haven't I received any news? Are you sure you're not drunk and crazy now?"
This morning, the magistrate of Liangzhou had already returned to his residence. Only two hours had passed, and he came to me to tell me this?
That’s right, it’s already noon!
"Oh, how could I go crazy? I have an eye in the capital. I have just received news that His Majesty has named you the King of Liangzhou, and that this fiefdom is under your jurisdiction, and you have military power.
and the right to expand territory!”
Um?
Hearing what the prefect of Liangzhou said, Zhu Tianyou didn't react for a while. How... how could this be possible?
This is simply a system of enfeoffing princes and kings and restoring the Emperor of Zhou. Only His Majesty is crazy to make such a decision!
But Zhu Tianyou hoped from the bottom of his heart that His Majesty would make such a decision, so that he could express his ambition!
"Don't look surprised. What I said is true. I believe it won't take long for His Majesty's decree to arrive!"
"Haha, you girl, just have fun!"
"No, no, you have to explain this matter to me clearly. If you can't explain it clearly, you are not allowed to leave!"
In this way, the prefect of Liangzhou told Zhu Tianyou everything that happened in the capital.
Zhu Tianyou suddenly realized what he said after listening to the words of the Liangzhou magistrate.
"I see!"
But even so, he was still shocked.
These things he never dared to think about, but now they all appear in front of him, and they are easily accessible!
"Haha, King Liangzhou, from now on I, the magistrate of Liangzhou, will exist in name only, and I may have to rely on you in the future!"
There is a sour smell of vinegar in the words of the Liangzhou magistrate.
"Hey, I'm just a rough guy. I can't do this better than you. From now on, you will still be the prefect of Liangzhou!"
After hearing this, the prefect of Liangzhou was more or less moved and thought to himself, this friend is really not in vain!
"Haha, you kid is in my hands from now on. I thought you did such a good job and was transferred to other places not long after, but now everything is fine. You kid will never run away from me in this life.
The palm of your hand!"
Liangzhou Magistrate: “???”
Emotions, am I being cheated?
"Stop being so dazed, follow me to the governor's office now!"
Now Zhu Tianyou has full control over Liangzhou, and the defenders of Liangzhou are naturally under Zhu Tianyou's control.
"It's time for you to plan how to keep those barbarians out of Liangzhou!"
Since Liangzhou is already my fiefdom, then none of you can even think of setting foot in Liangzhou!
…
In the capital, the palace, and Zhu Gaoyen once again summoned Su Wu and Yang Shiqi at the same time.
"Is this really not your plan? Is it really an emergency?"
Zhu Gaoying stared at his two counselors, ministers, and pillars of the country, trying to see something in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, this incident was indeed not what I expected!"
Originally, according to their plan, implementing the policy of enfeoffment would require at least two days of adjustment.
But now, a letter from the frontier has reached the point of implementation in one step to carry out the enfeoffment matter to the end!
Moreover, the timing is also very coincidental, just after the appearance of Zhu Gaoying's performance was shaken!
Moreover, the location where these foreigners attacked happened to be in Liangzhou, the best candidate Su Wu had mentioned to him before.
"Are you really not lying to me?"
"Your Majesty, everything Wei Chen said is true. Wei Chen did not expect that the place they were attacking happened to be the fiefdom of the Canglan County Prince!"
What a coincidence, what a coincidence!
It was because of this location that they were able to allow Zhu Gaoyan to give the position of the first prince to the King of Canglan County, Zhu Tianyou!
"Haha, God is really helping me. I will definitely take good care of them next year!"
"Also, regarding the poppy matter, is there any progress in the investigation?"
If your guess is correct, the person who planned the foreign tribes to attack the Ming Dynasty this time should be the so-called Yan family!
It's just that a long time has passed, but there is still no news about the Yan family, not even Poppy has been found!
"I'm afraid this matter is not as easy as imagined. We have searched all over the country, in most places where there are people and land, but we still can't find the poppies your Majesty mentioned!"
"I'm afraid, they may have already thought of this, so they changed the planting location to a deserted area!"
In this case, the difficulty of investigation will be greatly increased. Now that winter has arrived, if it snows again on the road, it will become even more difficult to find traces of poppies!
