Chapter 835: The Emperor Can't Confer the King Qin's Reward

(Thank you for the reward of Gangdao Li, thank you, please give me a thumbs up!)

Li Jing raised his glass at Crystal Palace: "Originally, this welcome banquet was invited to welcome Mr. Cui and other governors, but he was busy with the wedding recently, and he was still a little free until today. So, today's banquet is the reception banquet, which is the reception banquet with the new official of the Duke. If you are polite, I won't say much. The Duke is an elder of the orphan. In terms of qualifications, he is also an orphan senior. Therefore, let's have a good time today!"

Li Jing took Cui Anqian's hand and said, "With the help of Cui Gong and others, our Grand Marshal's Mansion has added another strength."

Cui Anqian said modestly: "We have been so old and have a little talent and are not good at learning. We have not helped the King of Qin so much, but we are so loved by the King of Qin and have entrusted the important task of governors. I am really ashamed."

"I have just adapted to it in the future. In the future, I have to ask a few leaders to take charge, wear armor to fight, and defeat the enemy and make contributions." Li Jing said with a smile.

At the banquet, everyone drank all the fun!

Later, Li Jing and Jing Xiang were talking to each other in the study of the Qin King's Mansion.

Gongsun Lan reported to Li Jing about the movements of all officials observed by the Supervision Department, "Your Highness and Yu family are unanimously agreed by the officials of the Qin vassal state. However, for Cui Anqian and others to come to vote, Yanjing is basically divided into two factions. One faction supports and trusts Cui Anqian and others, they believe that Cui Anqian and others are foreign ministers in the world and advocates that they should be valued. The other faction doubts Cui Anqian and others, and believes that Cui Anqian and others are important officials of the Tang court, and their performance has always been loyal to the court. Now they come to vote is nothing more than a temporary stopgap solution, and their hearts are still towards the court. Sooner or later, they will not be in the same heart with us."

"You also hold this idea. Do you think Cui Anqian and others are unreliable?" Li Jing asked.

"So I'm just talking. I think that the belonging of Cui Anqian and others will largely depend on the attitude of His Highness."

"How do you say this?"

Gongsun Lan said seriously: "Cui Anqian and others are all from great families and have been famous for their generations. They have been loyal to the court for most of their lives. Now they come to the court not just for personal fame and fortune, but for the people of the world. If you want to do your part to help quell the rebellion and turmoil. At this time, if you take a precautionary and suspicious attitude towards them, it will definitely cause them to disappoint them. Knowing that this place is not a place to stay for a long time, you will have the opportunity to leave or have other plans when you have the opportunity. Although they come to the court for helplessness, they will not find a better opportunity than this in a short time. Therefore, as long as you have a little comfort, you can temporarily stabilize them. Your Highness is now holding a banner to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, as long as you don't immediately oppose the court,

Under the current situation, they will still be willing to stay and work hard. In my opinion, Cui Anqian and others are not untrustworthy and cannot be reused. Instead, it depends on where they are placed. If they are asked to fight against the court and the emperor, they will definitely not be willing to do it with their loyalty to Li Tang. But if His Highness asks them to do other things, such as dealing with the Khitan, attacking the Hu people, or attacking the rebellious pseudo-Qi, or even fighting against the enemy with other vassal states, they will not have any problems. They are loyal to the court, but rather loyal to the country. Therefore, as long as they are under this banner, they will follow the command of the King of Qin. Even more civil officials and noble families in the world will choose to follow His Highness."

These words are actually telling Li Jing that Li Tang's energy has not yet been exhausted, or that although the mainstream society is not satisfied with the Tang court now, the upper class people are more afraid of too much change, so they would rather guard the Tang court. If Li Jing's moves too much now, such as proclaiming emperor or establishing another emperor, it may scare many people who are swaying and watching. If they continue to do things under the banner of respecting Tang and carrying the Tang Dynasty's banner, which is relatively gentle, then those people may choose to support it by default.

Jing Xiang also agreed: "Now, if we continue to take the banner of the Tang Dynasty, then we can order the towns. But if we oppose the Tang Dynasty at this time, we will lose a lot of support, which is not worth the loss for us."

"It's great now, boiling a frog in warm water. The emperor has just issued an edict to the crime, and has also given titles to several ladies, princesses, and has just issued an edict to withdraw the official positions and titles that were previously granted and rewarded. These actions show that the emperor is already afraid, and he knows the situation and dare not anger us. This is a good thing. Since we can force him to give in, as long as he no longer deliberately confronts us and causes too much trouble, then we don't need to make things too hurry and slow down, so as to make the best strategy."

Gai Yu was very satisfied with the last time a prisoner suggested that the emperor was forced to punish him and the result of the previous reward was revoked. Although, in this way, his title of prince was gone, it was nothing.

"The emperor withdrew the news and rewards, and he relied on his own words. This time he offended all the Qin vassal soldiers and officials. The title and official positions he had just obtained were revoked before they could be warmed up. Everyone was angry. Many soldiers were even cursing directly. If the emperor wanted to make some tricks in the future, I was afraid that no one from the Qin vassal would believe it anymore." Gongsun Lan also reported the attitude of the following to the revocation of the rewards.

Li Jing was somewhat surprised that this matter would end like this. However, he was still very satisfied with it. As Gongsun Lan said, the emperor's rebellion had already reduced his prestige in the Qin vassal to the extreme. On the other hand, the matter that had bothered Li Jing for a long time was resolved.

"Your Highness, I think that since the emperor has revoked the previous reward, it would be better for the King of Qin to give another order to reward the soldiers with the title of Shangshu Order, fake Huang Yue, and the Grand Marshal of the World. In this way, everyone has resentment towards the emperor, but they must be full of gratitude to your highness." Gai Yu suggested.

"No, too much reward will cause great harm to the country." Li Zhen said.

Gai Yu smiled: "Of course, the King of Qin will not be as entrusted as the emperor. Titles are extremely precious, and if they are too many, they will lose their original meaning. Therefore, a certain suggestion is that it is better to retain the new fifteenth-class title system established by the emperor this time, establish the king, prince, prince, county duke, county duke, county duke, county duke, county duke, county duke, county duke, county duke, county duke, county duke, county duke, founding prince, founding man, and founding man, as well as the 15th-class title of the emperor. However, if the King of Qin is granted again, then the number of titles must be controlled."

"A certain suggests that the list of titles is reduced directly by 90% and the general titles are reduced by one to two levels. It turns out that there were more than 3,000 titles. Now it is controlled within 300, and the highest is only a Duke."

"If you have such a title, ninety percent of those who have won the title cannot be granted. Will you feel resentful because of this?" Gongsun Lan asked.

"No, it turns out that all the winners have been revoked. Now that the King of Qin has granted them again, 10% of the people have regained their titles. In this way, at least 10% of the people are grateful, and the other 90% of the people will only hate the emperor for going back on his word.

Li Zhen pinched his beard and smiled, "As long as we are granted titles to be fair and fair, all the recipients are people who are expected to be recognized by everyone, then it will not only be fine, but will have a more positive impact. We must let everyone understand that the honor and hard-earned titles are."

Li Jing also became interested in this proposal. The emperor enfeoffed and withdrew it. Li Jing came to enfeoff again. In this way, the only loss of the emperor's prestige would be the emperor's prestige, which would make his prestige even more prosperous among the Qin vassal. In this way, the resentment in the hearts of the Qin vassal officials and soldiers after this reward incident can be solved.

"The number of ten titles is very suitable. I have to mention one thing. That is, this re-enthrone must not only be fair and just, but also make the title system stable and the title more precious and honorable. Therefore, the winners will not only be famous but also benefit. Although the winners will no longer give true fiefs and fiefs. The titles at all levels will not receive salaries, but will all be transferred to Yongye fields. The 15th-class title, the lowest sage, the samurai title will be given 400 acres of land, 600 acres of knights, 800 acres of jazz, and 1,000 acres of meritorious people."

"The founding man has two thousand acres, the founding son has three thousand acres, and the founding son has four thousand acres."

"Five thousand county marquis, seven thousand county marquis, and ten thousand national marquis."

"The county duke is 15,000 mu, the county duke is 30,000 mu, and the national duke is 50,000 mu."

"The prince is 100,000 mu, and the king is 300,000 mu."

Li Jing said a series of numbers, but at the end he added another sentence. "Considering that the Central Plains is difficult to entrust, all the eligible lands of Yongye Fields are entrusted outside Yanshan Mountain. The eligible lands of Yongye Fields can be passed down from generation to generation and enjoy the benefit of 10% off taxes.

Land has always been the most precious heirloom of family heirloom. In addition to giving titles and glory, Li Jing simply abolished his salary and fief this time. In this way, the actual benefit was only land. However, in order to prevent the nobles from occupying too much land, Li Jing specially proposed to entrust Yongyetian outside the pass. There was land there, and the land granted to the nobles could also be used to develop prosperity outside the pass with their strength. Moreover, Li Jing only gave them 10% off tax incentives, and the land they developed would have to be paid in the end. This is an extremely long-term strategy.

Although the conditions are a bit harsh, it is always much better than none.

"The King of Qin has made a good supplement. It not only solves the immediate problems, but also leaves no future troubles for the future. I fully support it." Li Zhen nodded in agreement.

The next day, the Forbidden City heard the order of the Grand Marshal Qin King Li Jing.

The soldiers posted notices in Yanjing City and provincial capitals, announcing that Li Jing was preparing to reward the meritorious soldiers and grant the titles and land. However, this time, Li Jing did not intend to make a decision. Instead, he wanted all the soldiers and officials of the vassal state to join in the decision to give the reward.

Li Jing announced the list of more than 3,000 titles and enfeoffees that the emperor had rewarded last time, and retained 300 big and small titles. Then, ten candidates were given for each title, and their resumes and achievements were announced, and then they were judged by everyone. Finally, they summarized their opinions and submitted them to the joint meeting of the Provincial Pavilion and Court for summary, and a list of 300 people were drawn up, and then the King of Qin made a final decision to award the title!

As soon as this list article was released, the crowd was in full swing.

However, after shock, the officials and soldiers who had just been granted and revoked their titles were all excited again.

Who dares to say that he doesn’t care about fame and title?

What's more, three thousand people compete for 300 titles, and ten people compete for one title. Even if they really didn't care about this title, they wouldn't be able to compete for the steamed buns anyway.

The entire Qin Fan suddenly became lively again, but Li Jing sat firmly on Diaoyutai. For him, although the important right of the title of Feng Jue was delegated this time, in fact, the candidates who could compete for the title were designated. Another thing, the Provincial Court and him had the final right to make a decision. On the surface, some other issues that would be produced by one of the ten seals would be prevented in advance by publicizing the "fairness, openness, and justice" of the title of Feng Jue.
