Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, there has never been anyone with such merit as Long Chen.
The empress thought for a long time and didn't know how to award the reward.
Long Chen destroyed a Xixia that was as powerful as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. If we really want to calculate carefully, he was the same as the Eastern Zhou Taizu.
If rewards are based on merit, unless Long Chen is granted the title of King of Xixia, it will all be in vain.
But the empress couldn't do that. If Long Chen was granted the title of King of Xixia, he would be tied with the empress.
The empress herself couldn't figure out how to award the reward, so she left the question to the ministers of the court.
After the empress finished speaking, the ministers looked at each other in confusion.
This question is too difficult to answer.
"This achievement of destroying a country has never been done before. How can we reward it?"
"King Wu is already a king, let's go further."
"I can't raise my title any more, how about a reward of gold and silver?"
"A reward of gold and silver? Even if you give the entire treasury, it won't be enough!"
"This is a difficult problem"
The ministers of the DPRK were buzzing with their talk, and no one could make up their mind.
"Lao Zhuguo, what do you think?"
Everyone couldn't tell how ugly Yin Mao was, so they turned around and asked Gongsun Yun what they thought.
He is Lao Zhuguo, so it is appropriate to ask him about such important matters.
Gongsun Yun was also embarrassed. He shook his head and said, "I have never encountered such a thing before."
The empress watched the ministers below discuss for a long time, but no one spoke up.
"Mother, my sons and I think that King Wu's contribution to destroying the country is unprecedented, and you sir don't know how to reward him."
Emperor Xingwan walked out of the train, and the ministers stopped to listen to what Emperor Xingwan had to say.
The empress asked: "Then what do you think?"
Emperor Xing paid his respects in the evening and said, "I am stupid, and I cannot answer the questions that your lords cannot answer."
this
I thought Emperor Xingwan had a good plan, but I didn't expect it to be nonsense.
The ministers smiled and continued to discuss how to award the reward.
"Since no one knows how to award a reward, why not ask King Wu what he wants?"
Emperor Xingwan said something again, and the ministers in the court were stunned for a moment, and then agreed: "The second princess is smart, and what she said is absolutely true."
They really don't know how to award the reward. In this case, it's better to ask Long Chen what he wants.
The empress looked at Long Chen, and the ministers also looked at Long Chen.
"King Wu, what do you want?"
The empress looked at Long Chen with a smile.
Long Chen thought to himself: I want you, will you give it to me? Let’s make an appointment tonight!
"This humble minister is already a highly respected minister and does not need to be rewarded."
If the moon is full, it will be waning. Long Chenjue will be granted the title of King Wu, occupy the Dazhu Kingdom, control the military power of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and have the power to destroy the country. At this time, you should keep a low profile.
"King Wu has the merit of destroying the country, how can he not give him a reward?"
"Wei Chen thought that Xixia could be carved out as a fiefdom for King Wu."
"I second the proposal. I think I can give King Wu a real title."
The canonization can be divided into virtual and real ones. The actual canonization means that the land and population of the city will be given to the place where it is sealed.
For example, if you canonize Long Chen as the King of Linjiang, you will give Linjiang City to Long Chen. This is called a real seal.
What is false is that it only gives titles but not land or population.
What the ministers are talking about now is the actual sealing, setting aside a piece of land in Xixia for Long Chen as a fiefdom, and the local population and city will be controlled by Long Chen.
Of course, local officials were still appointed by the court.
Gongsun Yun nodded slightly and said: "Your Majesty, this is okay. Kings generally have fiefs. King Wu only has titles but no fiefs. You can consider giving him one."
The empress nodded slightly and asked, "Which fief does King Wu want?"
Long Chen immediately said: "The land and the people are the foundation of the country. As human subjects, they should not occupy it."
"I am already satisfied with the title of king, and I dare not ask for any more fiefdoms."
The fiefdom looks good, but in fact it is just a collection of rent.
Long Chen's goal was to occupy Nanliang and proclaim himself emperor, and the land of Xixia was not attractive to him.
Gongsun Yun was a little unhappy and said: "You don't want this or that, kid. What do you want?"
"You destroyed Xixia and asked not to receive any reward. You can gain a reputation of being noble, but what about the Holy Emperor? You will only be ridiculed by the world, saying that she has merit but not reward!"
"You must also consider the Holy Spirit when doing things."
The ministers of the DPRK agreed with Gongsun Yun's statement.
If Long Chen doesn't want anything, he will give the empress a bad reputation.
The empress looked at Long Chen and said, "Do you want the people in the world to say that I don't know my rewards and punishments?"
Long Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "Does this have to be a reward?"
The empress nodded solemnly and said, "Yes!"
Everyone was waiting for Long Chen to speak
Di Luoxi winked at the side, saying just now that the land was sealed, Di Luoxi wanted it very much.
She was about to marry Long Chen, and she began to think about what she would need in her future life.
"Your Majesty, is it really possible to do anything?"
Long Chen asked very seriously.
The empress nodded and said: "You have the power to destroy a country, and you can do anything except my throne!"
The ministers of the court were waiting for Long Chen to speak.
Long Chen solemnly bowed to the empress: "Wei Chen is brave, please marry the third princess to Wei Chen!"
Well
The court fell into a dead silence, and everyone was shocked.
The empress looked at Long Chen in shock, Di Luoxi thought she had heard wrong, Emperor Lingyi didn't know what happened, Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan looked at each other, and the ministers in the court were dumbfounded.
Zhang Qian and the others looked at Long Chen's back in shock. They didn't know what Long Chen was thinking.
"Say it again?"
The empress thought that she heard wrongly, or that Long Chen meant to make a joke.
Long Chen cleared his throat and said loudly: "Wei Chen requests that the Third Princess of the Holy General marry Wei Chen under the imperial decree!"
Oh ho
The minister of the DPRK seemed to be suddenly freed from the immobilization technique, and burst into laughter and exclamations.
"King Wu wants the third princess? You're right!"
"What about the fourth princess?"
"Actually, it makes sense. After all, the third princess and King Wu are also close friends."
"Marrying two princesses?"
The ministers of the DPRK have already started discussing, but Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi have not yet reacted.
When Di Luoxi reacted, she rushed forward in anger, grabbed Long Chen's head, and asked angrily: "Damn eunuch, tell me again!"
Long Chen smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to explain it.
Emperor Lingyi woke up from a dream and immediately rushed up to protect Long Chen and said: "Fourth sister, let go! This is the Queen Mother's will!"
Di Luoxi said angrily: "Bullshit! How did the Queen Mother ever say that!"
Emperor Lingyi argued: "The Queen Mother just said that she can give her anything except the throne!"
"If he chooses to have me, that is the Queen Mother's will!"
The two sisters robbed a man in public in the court hall, and the ministers in the court were very happy to see it.
"Oh, after decades of imperial rule, today is the most interesting."
"You can't find a second time in the whole world."
"Please keep your voice down."
The court instantly turned into a lively vegetable market, with the ministers surrounding Long Chen and the three of them watching a family ethics drama.
"Luo Xi, don't be excited. I will still marry you, and I will also marry Lingyi."
"We are all a family, as you know Lingyi, we all slept together, right?"
Oh ho
The ministers enjoyed hearing it.
I had only heard rumors before that Long Chen had slept with the two princesses, but now that it was said from Long Chen's mouth, it was completely confirmed.
Di Luoxi was so angry that her cheeks bulged and she said angrily: "No, this wedding belongs to me, not the third sister!"
Di Lingyi refused to give in. She did not expect that Long Chen would propose to marry her right away. She must seize such an opportunity. If she misses this village, she will lose this shop!
"Queen Mother, King Wu has already made a request, please give me permission!"
Di Lingyi did not talk nonsense to Di Luoxi, the irritable sister, and directly asked the empress for her permission.f
