Just kidding, if Li Yinhu is granted the title of king but not the land, then he is destined to be an idle county king in name only. He does not have the real power of a county king, so what if he is given a title?
But the fiefdom is related to the core power's plan, and it is absolutely impossible for Li Chen to nod.
Li Chen is not stupid.
Once the princes were enfeoffed and had a fiefdom, Li Yinhu could legally own the tax revenue and military power of the fiefdom. What is the difference between this and being a local emperor?
"The clan government will write it into the royal family register, and officially designate the eighth prince Li Yinhu as King of Zhao, and announce it to the world on a certain day. In addition, the father is temporarily unable to handle the government affairs, and the matter of the fiefdom will be discussed later. The decision will be made by the father himself after he wakes up.
"
"Before that, King Zhao temporarily lived in the capital, but since he was crowned king, he could not live in the palace. He moved out of the palace and built the Zhao Palace in the capital. It was done according to the specifications and laws."
Speaking of this, Li Chen glanced at Zhao Qinglan and said meaningfully: "It's just that the treasury is empty now, and the court really can't spend any extra money to build Prince Zhao's Mansion. The Queen Mother must think of a way to do this."
Zhao Qinglan was furious when he heard this.
Not only did the co-authors not get Li Yinhu a fiefdom, but he also had to use money to build a palace?
A royal palace is not a shabby kiln. Even if the land can be allocated directly by the court, its construction will cost at least one hundred thousand taels of silver. This does not include the display and decoration, which are all bottomless pits.
Zhao Qinglan said bluntly: "I have lived in the palace for a long time. I have some money, but it is definitely not enough to build the palace."
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. This matter can actually be easily solved."
Li Chen's tone was as relaxed as if he had been waiting for Zhao Qinglan.
"I heard before that the son of the chief minister made a bold move and spent hundreds of thousands of taels of snowflakes and silver to build Prince Teng's Pavilion just for Bo Jiaren's smile. Compared with Prince Teng's Pavilion, wouldn't it be more beautiful to build a Prince Zhao's Mansion?"
Li Chen's eyes fell on the expressionless Zhao Xuanji, and he said calmly: "Chief Assistant, how are you?"
Zhao Xuanji twitched his eyebrows and said calmly: "Most of the folk rumors are wrong. Although Tengwang Pavilion was built in Quanzi's name, most of the money used for it was jointly raised by his friends in the capital. The salary of the veteran minister is only a thousand taels a year.
If not, how can we build a Tengwang Pavilion?"
"If you can build a Prince Teng Pavilion, you can build a Prince Zhao Mansion. The Chief Assistant will take care of this matter."
Li Chen's attitude became cold.
Seeing that Li Chen had made it clear that he wanted him to pay for it, Zhao Xuanji felt cold in his heart and said: "Constructing the palace is just a small matter, but I have one more question. Please give me your permission."
Li Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Speak."
"Although King Zhao cannot grant land for the time being, according to the etiquette and laws of this dynasty, every county king can receive three hundred personal soldiers and one hundred servants. Can King Zhao receive the same treatment?"
Li Chen sneered and said: "The system of personal soldiers is just to protect the safety of the princes and princes outside the country. Now that King Zhao does not have a fiefdom and lives in the capital, why does he need personal soldiers?"
"Your Highness, your words are wrong."
Zhao Xuanji did not give in at all and said: "Since you have been granted the title of king, you should give King Zhao corresponding treatment. Otherwise, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous? In this case, it is inevitable that some people will say that it is a royal consideration."
After Zhao Xuanji finished speaking, he bowed his hands.
Everyone in the hall saluted and said, "Your Highness, please think twice."
