Chapter 225 Qu Xu (Happy Lantern Festival, book friends!)(1/2)

July fire.

To formally enthrone the king, a series of complicated procedures are required. First, after the discussion of civil and military officials, then sacrifice to heaven and earth, and announce the ancestors.

Each step was very complicated, as if the previous King of Wu Yue hoped to use this kind of laborious action to deter the unfilial descendants of the future generations and make them too lazy to make trouble, so as not to divide the weak national strength.

Fortunately, Duan Yu enthroned the throne this time, but there were not so many twists and turns.

This is what the kings of Wu Yue of all dynasties told the world that anyone who dares to stop them is disloyalty and unfilial.

Secondly, Yue Qing is blocking the gun in front.

He offered only a few kings and a few night pearls to be enthroned. If Duan Yu offered only God's qualities, then the harsh and merciful King of Wu Yue would be sure to wear it.

By July, everything was agreed that after King Wu Yue sacrificed his ancestors to heaven and earth, he formally conferred Duan Yu as the founding king of Wu Yue, and his fief was in Quxu.

There are four prefectures in Wu and Yue: Wuzhou, Yuezhou, Manzhou, and Puzhou. Because of its vast territory, there are five counties in each prefecture to seven counties, one county and five six counties, and a total of 137 counties, each county is governed by counties and towns.

Of course, this is just a division of official positions. In fact, the only thing King Wu Yue can really control is Wuzhou and Yuezhou, which is the central and eastern part of Wu Yue.

As for the Manzhous in the south, there were chieftains everywhere, and they were all ruled by the emperor. The rule of the court was in name only.

Puzhou is located to the west, with a small half under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The side close to the State of Chu also enfeoffed a large number of vassals.

Quxu is located west of Puzhou. Although it does not have a direct border with Chu, it is often threatened by the military front of Chu from time to time.

...

On the altar.

The civil and military officials arranged two lines below.

After urgent etiquette training, Duan Yu wore the dress of Wuyue Kingdom and bowed to Wujiu, Wang Yue, and immediately took the seal wrapped in white thatch, as well as a bronze sword, as well as a small tripod and other ritual vessels, which meant that the earth was truly broken and sealed, and he also had the power of military armor and sacrifice.

After all these rituals, when Duan Yu stood up again, he was one of the 62 vassal princes of Wu and Yue, and officially ranked among the core senior officials of Wu and Yue.

"Qu Xu is the king, and I will hold a banquet for you in the palace tonight!"

After the ceremony, Wujiu's attitude was very good.

After all, although the vassals and vassals are nominally monarchs and ministers, the lords do not have the power to kill and kill, and can only be divided and won over by various means.

"Thank you for your kindness, I'm not respectful!"

Duan Yu bowed slightly and said with a smile.

As a prince, in addition to the great gifts, he usually only bows and bows when he sees King Wu and Yue, which is very suitable for his taste.

At this moment, Wujiu looked at the handsome young man in Qu Xu Fengjun, wearing a black black dress, a golden crown, a long sword, a jade ring, and a sachet. He was so majestic that he even secretly envied.

Duan Yu also secretly looked at Wujiu's complexion.

‘Although I was able to prolong my life and use the Emperor’s Canghai Night Pearl to pull out the toxins deep in my bloodline, I still said... I used to consume too much life, so it was difficult to live longer!’

‘In addition, the fiefdom is as I imagined. The central and eastern parts are royal areas, and it is impossible to give up. There is no major danger in the north, and there are few vassals. I will not be cheaper. There are only the south and the west. I have had close contact with the Yue family, which has successfully aroused fear. As expected, I was enfeoffed to Puzhou!’

To fight for dominance in the world, the beginning is very important.

Duan Yu had thought about it carefully before coming to Wuyue.

Although the central and eastern regions are fertile, they are too suppressed by the royal family and are not suitable for starting a family.

Wars in the north are rare and unimaginable.

As for the southern part of Wu and Vietnam, the power was too complicated and it was not his wish. It was really in line with his wish to be enthroned in Puzhou this time.

This is the main road invaded by the Southern Chu. Once there is military affairs, war will be immediately encountered.

For heroes who are determined to be in the world, the calm situation is as peaceful as a pool of stagnant water, and they are about to storm before they can take advantage of the momentum to soar into the sky.

Immediately, I was so happy that I was unrestrained and chatted and laughed without restraint. This behavior fell into the eyes of many people and I suddenly felt thoughtful.

...

August, Qu Xu.

There are two largest families in Quxu, one is the surname Qu and the other is the surname Xu.

They built a fort, gathered tribes and lived there, and had tens of thousands of acres of land, plus tenants, there were thousands of people.

With this confidence, no matter who comes to be a county magistrate, they have to give them a slight slight face. Even if they encounter unsatisfactory ones, it is common to squeeze them away.

Because the Wu Yue Kingdom had many vassals, it was normal for the major families to be difficult to cure.

These small landlords want to upgrade to big landlords, and big landlords want to become a noble family. The aristocratic family wants to come up with a prince, which is almost engraved in their bones.

In the Xu family’s fortress, a man with long beards hurried into the main house: “Brother…thing is not good!”

"What happened?"

Xu Ying, the head of the Xu family, glanced at his younger brother dissatisfiedly: "Xu Guan, you have read all the books from Middle Earth in vain? You can calm down whenever you have major events!"

"yes!"

Xu Guan took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and said, "I have received the news that a monarch is coming to the local area!!"

"What?"

Shi Potian was shocked by this news. Even Xu Ying was moved to stand up: "Is the news accurate?"

"It was reported from the county government. With official documents, the county magistrate has begun to seal the warehouse and pack up his luggage. Can there be fakes? Brother, we have to prepare early!"

Xu Guan said anxiously.

The county magistrate was appointed for several years and was appointed and removed by the royal court. It was difficult to lay a foundation, so they were naturally not afraid of them.

But the throne is different!

If the monarch is enfeoffed, he can appoint officials and recruit private soldiers on his own, and take deep roots. All of them must live under their shadow.

"how so?"

For Xu Ying, it was almost the sky that collapsed: "Is it actually enfeoffed the throne? Is it still in this county?"

When the throne comes, the public land of the government will definitely be taken back.

These big families, using the means of using names and changing the land book, should not be too ruthless to dig up corners of the royal family. It was beyond reach before, but it was hard to say at this time.

Moreover, their families were self-reliant, and some of their fields had not even changed the book and directly occupied it, which was even more deadly.

In addition, there are hidden lands and hidden households, which are the population and land hidden by the large clan without having to pay taxes and labor. They are definitely thorns in the eyes of the new prince and thorns in the flesh.

To be honest, if you have a throne in one place and have great military and political power, even if you demote them to slaves, you will have no place to argue.

This is still the difference between public and private.

Before, the county magistrate saw that the big households in the county were digging out the corner of the royal court, and it was difficult to control the situation, so he would pass it. As long as there was no major change in his post, he would be fine.

For Fengjun, this is digging his own corner, how can he tolerate it? He must do everything possible to recover it, and also check the household registration of the land and fight against these big households to the end.

"Damn it!"

Xu Ying took a few steps, but it was still unthinkable. She stamped her feet with hatred: "I am so anxious that we can rebel together. The Fengjun is still in disgrace and goes back wherever we come!"

"Brother is so angry! If we do this, even if the prince is driven away, the king will send troops to encircle and suppress it. At that time, both jade and stone will be burned. Even if the prince is severely punished and even reclaimed the prince, what's the use of the dead? Maybe the king will still thank us secretly..."

Xu Guan said with a wry smile.

"call……"

Xu Ying gritted his teeth: "I am also qi and blood rushing to my brain. I am confused for a moment. What should I do?"

"We all have people from the fields and houses here and cannot move away, so we can only deal with them. The most urgent task is to first find out the foot of Feng Jun and then connect with each other..."

Xu Guan had already thought about it on his way to come: "This bottom line is to advance and retreat together. In addition, public fields that have not been modified in the bottom line can be returned, but other things will definitely not work!"

"This is true. If the person who comes does not have much family background help, we don't need to hesitate to underestimate him... Even if he is a disciple of a clan, he will not suppress the local snake with family background. If he is not good at helping, he will have to compromise with us if he wants to rule safely."

Xu Ying took a few steps, calmed down and said with a smile: "After this conclusion, I will have a clear idea. You will go to the Qu family later, no! I will go in person and talk to Qujiang!"

Qujiang, the Qu family is currently the head of the family.

Among this county, the Quxu family is the most powerful, with confrontation and integration. At this time, it is time to work together to overcome the difficulties.

...

At this time, a group of hundreds of people were marching on the road.

Duan Yu rode a tall horse with a high spirit.

After the capital of Moyi accepted the enthronement, he did not stop and set off immediately and left to the fief Quxu.

Along the way, he even joined the team of troops who came to meet.

This man and horse armor are complete, with a total of 500 people. If it weren't for the iron scroll of Fengjun, it would be impossible for him to be allowed to pass the levels along the way.

But at this time? It’s because there are no gods and ghosts, and why are bandits and road bullies unable to retreat?

How dare ordinary bandits provoke the official army? They are still such elite!

"Five hundred Yunzhongwei, one hundred of them Dragon and Snake Camps, and one hundred and five poison camps are my limit at this time!"

As a vassal king, it is a taboo for private soldiers to leave territory without reason. This is a special case for reporting to King Wu Yue, Wujiu, who only allowed the vassals to be granted.

However, although there were only 500 people, Hei Yong's face turned a little green after he secretly looked at it.
To be continued...
