Wu Nian decided to send troops after autumn, and it was only April. Some of them have time to arrange important things for their son. After Wu Nian decided on the matter, he left it alone.
Then he focused on Liu Xiang. As the saying goes, a little separation is better than a new love. The two have not seen each other for more than three years, and they are really ready to see Xiang'er again.
Liu Xiang felt something, and lowered her head in shame under Wu Nian's fiery gaze.
The couple stayed in Jiaofang Hall until dark. We had dinner together and then went to bed.
Things will fall into place.
The next day.
Wu Nian got up from Liu Xiangfeng's bed, feeling refreshed. When he looked at the sky again, it was probably already three o'clock in the morning. The person next to me has already gotten up early.
He doesn't care, he doesn't have to go to work, and he's not in the military. It's okay to be lazy.
He called the eunuchs and maids to come in and help him wash and change clothes. Then he had food brought to him and he ate in large pieces. After finishing the meal, Wu Nian raised his head and asked a familiar palace maid, "Where is your empress?"
"Report to the king. The queen is afraid that the queen will not adapt to the life in the palace, so she went to visit the queen." The palace maid replied in a soft voice, feeling blessed.
She was talking about Yuki Kyogoku.
Wu Nian smiled, this girl is really generous.
Originally, Wu Nian should also have cared about Kyogoku Yuki to see if he was living well in the palace and whether he was comfortable with it. But since Liu Xiang is there to ask for help, you can let it go first.
Wu Nian stood up and said to the palace maids and eunuchs: "Show me in the Wenhua Palace."
"Yes." The palace maid and eunuch immediately responded and went down to prepare. Shortly after. Wu Nian got on the eight-carriage sedan, left the harem, and came to the Wenhua Hall of the front palace.
That is where the cabinet is located.
After Liu Zhixing got the news, he immediately led the cabinet ministers, as well as the officials who worked in the cabinet, eunuchs, maids, etc., to go out to greet him.
"Your Majesty." When they saw Wu Nian getting off the sedan, they bowed.
"No courtesy. Let's talk inside." Wu Nian waved his hand and entered the room with everyone. Wu Nian sat down on the bed, and five cabinet ministers stood below.
Wu Nian looked at Li Yong. This old brother was still in good health, but it was inappropriate to just stand like this. He asked the eunuch to bring chairs and let everyone sit down. Then he asked the eunuch to make tea.
After taking a few sips of tea, Wu Nian put down the tea cup and said bluntly: "My eldest son Wu Min has reached the age to marry. I want to give him a title and give him a certain treatment. I came here to discuss it with you."
One family rules the world.
Even an infant in the Wu family is no small matter. Not to mention the eldest son of the king. The cabinet ministers all looked serious.
"Speaking of this matter. I have something to say." Gongsun Sang stood up, saluted to Wu Nian, raised his head, and showed a fiery look.
"Say." Wu Nian tilted his head slightly. This guy seemed to be trying to cause trouble.
But it doesn’t make sense to keep cabinet ministers silent.
"Your Majesty. Since ancient times, it has been said that teachers are famous. Expelling the Tartars and regaining Liaodong is over. The next step is to fight for the destiny. As the king of Han, the king wiped out Goguryeo and Fusang, and captured the emperor. Now he is competing with the Mongolian, Yuan, and Chu kingdoms for supremacy. . Your Majesty should ascend to the throne of emperor first, and then proceed to the Northern Expedition to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty."
"Combine the prince as king."
Gongsun Sang's expression and tone were extremely excited, and his body began to tremble.
Li Yong, Zhang Haiping, Liu Zhixing, and even Cui Wushuang were not surprised. When Wu Nian ascended the throne as King of Han, it was Gongsun Sang who was the most active.
Gongsun Sang is a good financial man and loyal. The only problem is that it is too unprincipled. He resolutely carried out all Wu Nian's orders, even if he knew they were wrong.
And now the Han Dynasty has a vast territory with vast territory and abundant resources. This guy has been trying to persuade me to join him for a long time.
We don’t want to be King of Han anymore.
Qian Han Huang.
Wu Nian had already guessed that this guy wanted to cause trouble, and said with a calm smile: "Master Gongsun is right. Meng Yuan is the emperor. Emperor Daojun is also the emperor. The king of Han, I, is a bit lacking in reputation."
Gongsun Sang's eyes suddenly shone and his breathing became rapid. Your Majesty, did you agree?
We are the Han Dynasty.
No idea. Wu Nian changed the subject and said, "It's just that ascending the throne is too troublesome and wasteful. Besides, this Jiang County palace is too small."
"You are not worthy of the emperor. When we capture the capital of Chu, we can hold the enthronement ceremony in the palace of Chudu."
"However, Lord Gongsun is right. Sooner or later, I will be an emperor. This time, I will make the eldest son a marquis. But in fact, he is a king."
"The treatment is in place immediately. There is no need to modify it later."
Gongsun Sang felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him. He was deeply hit and hung his head.
"Yes." Liu Zhixing and others responded calmly. The king of Han and the emperor are just different terms. The power is the same.
Unlike Gongsun Sang, they are more sensible and not very persistent about it.
Then, the cabinet ministers discussed it in front of Wu Nian and formulated a clan title system based on the system of Chu State.
The prince is granted the title of prince.
The prince's son is granted the title of county king, and he will remain the county king for generations to come and will no longer be demoted.
The remaining sons of the prince were created dukes.
The remaining sons of the county king were granted the title of marquis.
Then each generation goes down one level.
That is to say, the prince's crown prince was granted the title of county prince. The other sons were made dukes. The son of a duke, he was granted the title of marquis.
all in all. Liu Zhixing and others developed a very complicated title system. Wu Nian frowned after hearing this. He shook his head and told them his thoughts. Then he said directly: "The eldest son of the widow should be named the Marquis of Qi."
"When I ascend to the throne and become emperor, I will automatically be promoted to king."
"He will also be Prince Qi from now on. The eldest son of Prince Qi will be granted the title of Prince of the County. There are only two generations of princes. The third generation will be the ordinary clan."
"The remaining sons of Prince Qi are also ordinary members of the clan. They will be given a salary."
"The clan lasts for five generations, and the sixth generation will automatically be demoted to civilian status. They will no longer enjoy the imperial salary."
"Uh!!!" The cabinet ministers were all surprised after hearing this. The founding kings of the past dynasties were all afraid that their descendants would not have enough to eat or clothing to keep them warm.
I wish I could take care of a hundred generations.
The king of Han only had two generations of princes and five generations of salary?
"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate. This is too thin." Gongsun Sang immediately raised objections as if his descendants had been wronged.
Everyone else, including Wu Nian, looked at him in surprise.
This kid is so obedient that he dares to raise objections.
It is really the soul of the Han Dynasty. I can't bear to see the prince and grandson being wronged.
Wu Nian sighed, loyalty is true loyalty. It's just that sometimes, you get into trouble. He said: "I have made up my mind, so be it."
"You should work out the salary and treatment for princes, princes, and ordinary clan members."
"Yes." Gongsun Sang saw that Wu Nian had made up his mind and did not dare to object. He lowered his head and responded to Liu Zhixing and others.
About half an hour passed. Liu Zhixing personally took up the pen and wrote it on the fold, and presented the Wu family's clan title system to Wu Nian in written form.
Wu Nian picked up the folder and opened it, looking at it with a look of satisfaction.
