The five elders who supported Ji Tiange all looked extremely ugly at this time.
When Luo Zheng was granted the title of Marquis, he slapped Ji Tiange hard in the face, making them all look shameless.
Dozens of merchants jointly signed a letter asking Huang Tianxian King to remove the Divine Sword Merchant Alliance from the royal court. Before the matter is settled, Luo Zheng will be granted the title of marquis. The meaning of this is very obvious.
"Now, if you have any doubts about Luo Zheng's enfeoffment, you can raise them now. If you don't have any, let's discuss the matter of enfeoffment!"
Immortal King Huang Tian looked at everyone, as if nothing had happened, and said calmly.
This time, he wanted to take the opportunity to attack Ji Tiange and the five elders who supported him, so he had been deliberately concealing Luo Zheng's achievements.
Now everything is as he expected.
Ji Si and Ji Jin had lost face. In a short period of time, they must not dare to support Ji Tiange too obviously.
"Immortal King, I wonder if this Luo Zheng will be granted the title of first or second generation marquis?"
Elder Guo Zhi asked.
"That's right, what Luo Zheng wants to do is to create a first-generation marquis. He will be titled Divine Sword Marquis. It will cost him one million merits. He will exchange the remaining one hundred and ninety-seven* merits into various treasures."
Huangtian Immortal King said.
After hearing this, several elders showed jealousy and envy on their faces.
The title of Marquis is a matter of honoring the true ancestors of the clan. Although they are honored as elders of the royal court, the power of appointment and removal is in the hands of Huangtian Immortal King. If an excuse is found, they can be removed from the elder position directly.
As for the title of Marquis, as long as he does not betray the royal court and is caught with real evidence, even the Immortal King cannot take away his title.
Moreover, all the property and people in the fiefdom are under the control of the marquis, which is equivalent to being an emperor, and is many times more prestigious than being an elder.
Furthermore, the elders also knew exactly how many treasures had been exchanged for the 1.97 million meritorious service.
"According to the rules, from the first to the third generation, there are twelve cities. I think the twelve cities in the southwest of the Juqu Region can be used as the fiefdoms of the Divine Sword Marquis!"
An elder who supported Ji Yu said.
"The Juqu Territory has a large population, and there are many powerful small families. This Luo Zheng is still young and has limited cultivation, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to manage."
Guo Zhi said immediately.
This giant canal region has a large population, powerful people, and extremely rich resources. Naturally, they do not want to fall into Luo Zheng's hands.
"Then designate twelve cities in the Dongjiang Region!"
Another elder suggested.
"No, the Dongjiang Territory is sparsely populated and very barren. As the fiefdom of Shenjian Marquis, I'm afraid some people will say that our Huangtian Palace has treated Luo Zheng poorly."
Ji Si also said.
The Dongjiang Region is relatively desolate, and there are only seventeen cities in the entire region. Allocating twelve cities to Luo Zheng as a fiefdom is equivalent to giving most of the entire city to Luo Zheng.
…
Several elders who supported Ji Yu proposed several domains, but were rejected by Ji Si and others for various reasons.
An elder suddenly became furious, "Since you guys think that none of us who have been promoted can do it, then it's up to you to propose it!"
When Ji Si and others heard this, they all frowned.
The suggestions put forward by other elders just now were opposed by them. If they moved Luo Zheng's fiefdom into some areas with insufficient resources, it would be easier to reject it.
"By the way, the Eight Star Marquis Cao Jun died three months ago. The Hou family is the third generation of marquis, and the Eight Star Marquis is the third generation. His territory is also twelve cities. Now these twelve cities are used as the territory of the Divine Sword Marquis.
.People in the Eight Cavalry Star Domain are already accustomed to accepting the rule of the Marquis, and will not have any resistance, which can save Marquis Shenjian a lot of trouble!"
At this time, Elder Wang Kai suddenly said.
"Yes, the Yuguang area in the Eight Star Marquis fiefdom is rich in resources and vast in area. It is most suitable to be the Shenjian Marquis fiefdom!"
When Ji Jin heard this, his eyes lit up and he said immediately.
"What, how is this possible? The Cao family has always been domineering and domineering due to their strong strength, and they have always obeyed and disobeyed the royal court's orders. Now that Cao Jun is dead, the Cao family should have returned the fiefdom to the royal court long ago, but they have been looking for all kinds of excuses.
.I think they have managed that fiefdom very firmly, and they clearly want to occupy the fiefdom. The Cao family will never agree to using it as the fiefdom of Marquis Shenjian."
An elder quickly refused.
"So what if the Cao family doesn't agree? Marquis Shenjian single-handedly killed all the demons in the Nine Nether Demonic Land and achieved unparalleled achievements. How dare the Cao family refuse to give up their fiefdom!"
Ji Si also said: "Anyway, if the royal court wants Cao to return his fiefdom, it would be difficult to do so without using force. But after all, Cao has made great contributions to the royal court. If the royal court turns against him, it will become a joke if word spreads. Instead of using force, Cao has made great contributions to the royal court.
In this case, it is better to let Lord Shenjian take action, then it is logical. If Lord Shenjian wants to get his fief back, no one can say anything more!"
"That's fine, then we will give the original eight-star princes' fiefdom to Shenjianhou, and order the Cao family to withdraw from the fiefdom within one month."
Immortal King Huang Tian pondered for a moment, then actually agreed, "The Marquis Ceremony will be held in seven days, and the news will be sent out immediately to inform the world!"
